THE UPDATE

Tomorrow’s “Hammer in the Hay” mountain bike race may be on a beautiful mountain bike trail across parts of 4 Eagle Ranch near Wolcott, but it’s not neces-sarily easy.

Racers should be ready for a hill at the beginning, some water crossings and “sneaky, gradual uphills,” said Tom Backus, general manager at the ranch.

“It’s always a little challenging for them,” Backus said. “But nobody else gets to ride mountain bikes on the property. The feedback we get is that people really like the course.”

Hammer in the Hay, scheduled for Wednesday, is the

first in the Vail Recreation District’s (VRD) series of mountain bike races this summer. The loop course is 3.8 miles long for youth 8 and older. Pro and expert riders get a 14.8-mile race course. Backus walked the course recently with Vail Recreation District personnel to make sure it would work out well for the riders.

“They’re kinda bouncing along the ranch,” Backus said. “The trails have had cows and horses on them.

After the race, riders also will get a chance to kick back with a free keg of beer and tunes from the lo-cal favorite Hardscrabble. Raffle prizes at the race and throughout the series feature products from race spon-sors, area merchants and national companies.

New this year is a men’s Clydesdale category, where men over 200 pounds will compete against each other,

said Beth Pappas, the recreation district’s sports coor-dinator.

Many men asked for the new category, Pappas said.

Race series dates— The Eagle Ranch Classic is the next in the series,

scheduled for June 10 at the 4th of July trailhead in Eagle Ranch.

— The Berry Creek Bash will be held in Edwards on June 17 on the U.S. Forest Service Road that accesses Berry Creek.

Pulling an efficient engine out of thin air

Most car companies are racing to bring electric vehi-cles to the market. But one startup is skipping the high-tech electronics, making cars whose energy source is pulled literally out of thin air.

Zero Pollution Motors is trying to bring a car to U.S. roads by early 2011 that’s powered by a combination of compressed air and a small conventional engine.

ZPM Chief Executive Shiva Vencat said the ultimate goal is a price tag between $18,000 and $20,000, fuel economy equivalent to 100 miles per gallon and a tail-pipe that emits nothing but air at low enough speeds.

Elsewhere in the world, the technology is already gaining speed. The French startup Motor Development International, which licensed the technology to ZPM, unveiled a new air-powered car at the Geneva Auto Show in March. Airlines KLM and Air France are start-ing to test the bubble-shaped AirPod this month for use as transportation around airports.

A local fire district is adding nine new fire fighters, funded through a five-year federal grant.

The Eagle River Fire Protection District landed a $975,000 federal grant, spread over five years. That money will pay 90 percent of the nine new fire fighters’ salaries through the first year. After that, the fire dis-trict will pick up an increasing amount, explained John Willson, the fire district’s Deputy Chief of Operations.

By the fifth year, the fire district will pick up their entire salaries of about $53,000 in wages and benefits.

“The formulas by which staffing levels are calcu-lated indicate that we need 16 people on duty in our district,” Willson said. “This enables us to do that.”

The National Fire Protection Association calculated a suggested staffing level of 16 firefighters for the Eagle River Fire Protection District, which covers much of the eastern end of the Vail Valley from Avon down to Edwards and on toward Wolcott.

The nine new fire fighters were all interns with the Eagle River district; seven of them had been current interns before they were hired and sworn in last week. They all finished their initial training through Colorado Mountain College’s program.

By the numbersNumbers of emergency service personnel is one of

those things no one is sure about until you need one.At an Eagle River Fire Protection District board of

directors meeting last week, board members learned that call volume was down 25 percent so far this year from last year. On the other hand, four calls rolled in at the same moment a couple weeks back. Late in the ski season, seven fire fighters were on the roof of a Beaver Creek hotel handling a chimney fire.

Waiting five minutes to respond to a call pushes it into a delayed-response category. Sometimes that’s fine, other times it isn’t.

“Five minutes isn’t long unless you’re on fire,” said board chairman Ed O’Brien.

Staffing levels, and expenditures in general, depend on tax revenue. The fire district is one of the 82 enti-ties in Eagle County that collect money from property taxes. Last year, the fire district’s property tax receipts came in at around $6.5 million, said O’Brien.

In this year’s property value reassessment, values went up between 10 percent and 100 percent, depend-ing on where you live. That means your property taxes will increase a corresponding amount, unless the boards that govern those taxing entities roll back your property tax rate.

O’Brien said it’s still too early in the year to make that decision. He said the board will take it up in early December when it’s tackling next year’s budget.

New car booting rules are in front of Avon officials today.

The Avon town council is slated to discuss a new car booting ordinance at a town meeting that starts at 5:30 p.m.

Workers at AAA Booting, a company that represents an estimated 600 homeowners or so, have been on hold for several months while waiting to find out how they may be treated by the new rules, said Nick Antuna, a co-owner of the booting company.

There are no state laws specifically regulating private booting companies. But Eagle County District Attor-ney Mark Hurlbert earlier this year said that booting without due process for drivers might be considered criminal trespass.

“I’m just trying to get this done and over so we can get back to business,” Antuna said before the meeting. “The management companies don’t want me to be ar-rested.”

Fair and fair alikePolice have tried to create a new ordinance that is fair

to drivers and private property owners alike, said Avon Chief Brian Kozak, who will present the new rules to

the town council. The police department and the town attorney held a

roundtable meeting recently to get public input on the topic.

“I think everybody should be pleased with it, since it was a collaborative effort,” Kozak said. “It’s easy for the citizen to go ahead and request a hearing, but if the citizen is responsible for the parking violation, they have to pay for the hearing fees.”

The minimum hearing fee is expected to be $100, Kozak said.

New background check?The proposed ordinance calls for booting companies

to pay an additional fee to register with the town, and for employees to submit to background checks and wear name tags.

Antuna questioned why there need to be any new rules at all, pointing out that Aspen has a booting com-pany that appears to operate without problems or regu-lation.

“It’s all about a money thing. I don’t know how I can’t be legal, and the Aspen guy can be legal,” Antuna said.

Parking problems have been an issue in Avon for at least the last year, after a new Beaver Creek gondola opened next to the Westin Riverfront Resort & Spa near the Avon Town Hall.

The inquisitive fifth grader looked state senator Al White right in the eye and asked, “What kind of bills do you think you’ll pass in the future?”

White smiled back and answered, “Good ones!”It was the easiest question he got from them.White was in town Thursday morning to sit down

with Meadow Mountain Elementary School’s fifth graders, where he was pretty much a human homework assignment, and they wanted to know everything.

He explained how bills become law, how lots of dif-ferent people want lots of different things from state lawmakers.

Most of those things involve money. White, who serves on the Joint Budget Committee, sees where most of the money comes from and where it goes.

Yeah, the state government says it’s running short of money, but White told the kids that it’s not so short that it needs to make restaurants pay sales taxes on the meals they give their workers. So he sponsored a bill that kept that from happening.

“They’re great kids and they asked great questions,” White said afterward. “Often, even the adults I speak with aren’t this aware of the issues.”

To put lawmaking in terms they’d understand, he made up a bill on the spot, The Broccoli Bill of 2009, mandating that kids have to eat broccoli three times a week, and it’s not fair if you smother it in melted cheese. As you can imagine, some lobbied against it with unbridled enthusiasm.

The students asked White about illegal drugs, swine flu, his kids, honesty and reputation, and how much that matters.

The students are studying government for six weeks and were supposed to meet White in the state Capitol. He had a conflict, and he couldn’t meet them that day, so they asked about scheduling. They asked why, so he had to explain that no matter how good he is in the state legislature, he’s governed by the laws of physics and nature and can’t be in two places at the same time.

So White came to their classroom and they asked re-ally good questions about really good stuff.

The good stuff starts in the home, he said, not in the House or Senate.

Daniel “Dan” Vincent Conway of Eagle-Vail died Thursday. He was 45.

Born on Oct. 6, 1963, in Pittsfield, Mass., Conway was the son of Gerard “Vince” Conway of Eagle-Vail and Barba-ra Slye Hespelein of Port Orange, Fla.

He was the manager of racing and special events at Vail Resorts based at Golden Peak on Vail Mountain. He joined Vail Associates in 1985.

Conway graduated from Pitts-field High School in 1981 where he was the captain of the alpine ski team. He also was the Massachu-setts state individual champion for

skiing in 1981. He graduated from the University of Massachusetts

with a degree in sports management in 1985. While at the university, Conway was the No. 1 skier on the var-sity alpine ski team for three years and won the most valuable player award in 1985.

That year, Conway also was the overall winner in sla-lom and giant slalom at the Massachusetts Bay State Games.

He enjoyed running, skiing, golf and fantasy football. Conway will be remembered as a devoted father to his two girls and as a loving brother and son. He was loved by his many friends. He attended St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Minturn.

In addition to his parents, Conway leaves his children, Keely Conway and Danielle Conway both of Eagle-Vail; his ex-wife Cheri Conway of Glenwood Springs; his sisters Lori Conway Murphy of Dalton, Mass., and Debra Conway Havlick of Port Charlotte, Fla; nieces Katie Murphy, Sara Havlick, and Jenny Heer; nephews Dan and Matt Murphy; and close friends Mark Manley, Ron McKinnon and Chris Darrohn.

A memorial ceremony and reception will be held at Gerald Ford Amphitheater in Vail at 4 p.m. Thursday. In lieu of flowers, donations in Conway’s memory may be made to the Keely and Danielle Conway Scholar-ship Fund at any branch of FirstBank of Avon. Re-membrances, memories and reflections may be sent to the family through Everett Family Funeral Home & Crematory at: P.O. Box 154, Gypsum, CO 81637.

You, too, can get involved for National Trails Day — by cleaning up trash from a local trail.

Granola company Bear Naked will host a trail clean-up day starting at 7:30 a.m. Friday, June 5, on the Middle/Spraddle Creek Road Trail on the north side of In-terstate 70 in Vail.

“It’s a perfect fit for us to sponsor. We’ve been dedicated to giving back, so whether it’s planting trees or helping with natural disasters, it’s to be active and physical and outdoors,” said Ryan Ther-riault, the company’s brand manager.

Anyone who volunteers gets a granola parfait, a water bottle, a T-shirt and the knowledge that they’re really helping do good for the heavily used area. The U.S. Forest Service suggested good clean-up spots, and Bear Naked chose the site, Therriault said.

Bear Naked will be in town for the

Teva Mountain Games, June 4-7. Gra-nola parfaits will be available through-out the event, along with the Bear Na-ked Adventure Village, which includes a kayak tank, a pop-up climbing wall and other activities that mirror the many ad-venture sports available at the games.

“At Bear Naked, educating our con-sumers and supporting environmental causes is extremely important,” Therri-ault said. “Just as we are committed to providing 100 percent natural foods, we are committed to protecting and preserv-ing the outdoor spaces we love and in-spiring people to enjoy them.”

An estimated 1,200 athletes and as many as 30,000 spectators are expected for the Teva Mountain Games, which will include mountain biking, running, kayaking, a World Cup climbing event, dog jumping competitions and a variety of other “games”. Free concerts, parties and photo and film competitions round out the three-day event.

Frank Navarro and fiancée Allison Wear, homeowners in Cordillera Valley Club, are more interested than the aver-age couple in building “green.”

The duo recently developed the first multi-tenant LEED certified office proj-ect in the country —the Ecoplex at Cen-trepark West in West Palm Beach, Fla.

Now, their new custom home in Cor-dillera is the first in the county to earn the national environmentally friendly certification — LEED-gold — from the U.S. Green Building Council.

“It was green building and responsible development, responsible building and testing that you wouldn’t normally con-sider,” said Megan Gilman, owner of Ac-

tive Energies in Minturn, in explaining how the home was built. Active Energies works on energy audits with builders and homeowners and other environmentally friendly issues.

The new home uses 62 percent of the energy a typical code-built home uses, the couple said. Hot water boilers pro-vide space heating and solar thermal panels heat the home’s water. In addition, the house is super-insulated with special polyurethane insulation and triple-pane windows.

The home will be the centerpiece of the Eagle Valley Alliance for Sustain-ability’s annual Healthy Homes tour on Saturday, June 20.

tion from Washington to Beijing and set the communist regime up for a showdown with the United Nations.

The U.N. Security Council was meeting later Mon-day in New York to discuss what President Barack Obama called Pyongyang’s “blatant defiance” of reso-lutions banning the regime from developing weapons of mass destruction. British Prime Minister Gordon Brown condemned the test as a “danger to the world.” Russia’s Foreign Ministry called it “a serious blow to international efforts” to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons.

French officials said they would push for new sanc-tions, and even traditional Pyongyang ally China said it was “resolutely opposed” to the test, which Russian officials estimated yielded a powerful 10- to 20-kiloton blast—enough to flatten a city and far more than North Korea managed in a 2006 atomic test.

Hillary Clinton surprises graduates at Yale

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has made a surprise return to her law school alma mater. She picked up an honorary degree 36 years after getting her law degree from Yale University. Graduates celebrat-ing commencement Monday erupted in cheers as Clin-ton was introduced.

In keeping with Yale tradition, the names of honorary degree recipients are a closely held secret.

Clinton says the graduates should “use every creative gene you have” to work for the public good. She also urged them to apply for work in the Obama administra-tion and the State Department.

The 60-year-old Clinton met her husband, former President Bill Clinton, at Yale.

Sculptor Richard Serra and writer John McPhee are among the others receiving honorary degrees from Yale this year.

Red Bull may be a little white around the nostrils Six German states have told retailers to stop selling

Red Bull Cola energy drinks after a test found a trace amount of cocaine.

The bans started Friday after a sample test conducted by authorities in North Rhine-Westphalia state found 0.4 micrograms per liter in the drink.

----------------------------------------- [From page 1]THE UPDATEFive other states also banned it from shops amid con-

cerns over possible narcotics law violations.Germany’s Federal Institute for Risk Assessment

said Monday that the cocaine level was too low to pose a health risk. It planned to produce a more detailed re-port Wednesday.

Red Bull said its cola is “harmless and marketable in both the U.S. and Europe.” It said similar coca leaf extracts are used worldwide as flavoring, and a test it commissioned itself found no cocaine traces.

For $7,500 down you can drive a new Pontiac and buy a house in Detroit

The Business Insider recently ranked Detroit the most depressing place in America.

The dishonor was given to the city because of the severe effects of the decline of the American auto in-dustry, the exodus from downtown skyscrapers and Detroit’s history of crime. According to the report, the average home price in Detroit is now just $7,500.

Oil: up, down, back up… way up

At the G8 energy summit in Rome, Saudi Arabian Oil Minister Ali al-Naimi warned of a spike in the price of oil above the $150 per barrel record high of 2008 within the next two to three years, The Business Insider reports.

Naimi said that decreased investment in expanding capacity and other high development cost capital proj-ects would likely exacerbate a spike in the price of oil in the medium-term.

“We are maintaining our long-term focus rather than being swayed by the volatility of short-term condi-tions,” Naimi said. “However, if others do not begin to invest similarly in new capacity expansion projects, we could see within two-to-three years another price spike similar to or worse than what we witnessed in 2008.”

Oil prices have hovered around $60 per barrel the past six months, $15 below the level producers say is needed for new investment. OPEC will meet this Thursday, when it is expected the producer group will keep output levels stable.

Facing a massive $21.3 billion deficit, lawmakers re-portedly are looking at an increase of $1.50 per pack, which they estimate would raise $1.2 billion annually.

Over the last decade, cigarette manufacturers have spent tens of millions of dollars fighting down 14 pro-posed increases.

“Given the serious budget shortfall we face, this is the year to pass the tobacco tax,” said Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Pacoima). “It is needed now more than ever.”

Obama pays first respects as President

President Barack Obama laid a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cem-etery on his first Memorial Day as president.

In brief but solemn remarks after he laid the wreath and observed a moment of silence, Obama saluted the men and women of America’s fighting forces, both liv-ing and dead, as “the best of America.”

Obama also sent wreaths to two memorials, one com-memorating Confederate soldiers and one honoring African-American soldiers in the Civil War.

Last week, a group of about 60 professors petitioned the White House, asking the first black U.S. president to break tradition and not memorialize military mem-bers from the Confederacy, the group of Southern states that supported slavery.

Obama will travel to Normandy next week to honor the 65th anniversary of the D-Day invasion.

Sports have been called the world’s “first and best form of reality TV.”

And in reality, not everything is perfect. In the wake of the missed foul call at end of Game

3 of the Nuggets-Mavericks series, fans should re-member calls like this have happened in the past and will continue to happen. Perfection is unattainable in sports, so why is it so shocking when officials make the mistakes?

Instant replay and super slow-motion cameras can save us most of the time but not all the time. Human error is part of sports, always has been and it always will be. Some of the most memorable moments in sports have occurred on such blown calls. Here are just a few great examples:

It all began with Jack Dempsey’s fa-mous knockdown of Gene Tunney? In September of 1927, Dempsey pounded Tun-ney to the ground in round 7 only to watch referee Dave Barry give Tunney an esti-mated 17 seconds to get to his feet. A fresh Tunney knocked Dempsey down in the next round and won the fight by decision.

1972 Olympic Games, Munich, Ger-many. The U.S. Olympic basketball team trails 49-48 as Doug Collins steps to the line. His second free throw went through the basket the buzzer sound-ed, but it was far from over. The Russians heaved the ball to midcourt, where it was knocked out of bounds … but wait! Officials said there was still one second left. Another long pass, another deflection, and game over, right? Not even close. Officials claim there should have been three seconds on the clock, and they again give the ball back to the U.S.S.R. This time Russian forward Aleksander Belov catches the pass, knocks over two U.S. players, and scores the winning basket.

Remember The Great Snow Con? With less then five minutes remaining in the December 1982 foot-ball game between the Patriots and Dolphins, the Patriots setup for a game winning 23-yard field goal

attempt. But with the field covered in snow, it was no chip shot. Patriot coach Ron Meyer sent Mark Hen-derson, a convicted felon on a work release program, on to the field to plow a clear spot for kicker John Smith. The officials said nothing and Smith booted the ball through the uprights to steal the victory.

In the 1996 ALCS, umpire Richie Garcia and 12 year-old Jeffery Maier helped make Derek Jeter fa-mous. Maier stole the ball from the grasp of Balti-more Oriole outfielder Tony Tarrasco. Garcia called it

a home run and Jeter became a hero. Jeffery Maier even made it on the David Letterman Show; meanwhile the Orioles still haven’t made the playoffs since.

Thanksgiving day 1998, a 16-16 tie send the Detroit Lions and the Pittsburgh Steelers to overtime. Steelers captain Jerome Bettis called tails, and the tape backs him up, but Referee Phil Luckett heard heads. The Lions were as confused as Bettis. Detroit was awarded the ball drove down the field and kicked a 42-yard game winning field goal. The NFL later admitted the mistake, and the rule was changed forcing the choice to be made before the coin is flipped.

In 1999, the Detroit Stars won the Stanley Cup in triple overtime when Brett Hull’s foot was clearly and illegally planted in the crease. Numer-ous replays showed the clear infraction to review the play. Wonder how Sabres’ fans felt about that deci-sion?

Mistakes are made all the time. Players miss shots and make bonehead plays every night. But when an official blows a call, he may lose his job and his rep-utation is permanently damaged.

In a perfect world, officials would never make mis-takes. In an understanding world, officials’ mistakes would be taken at face value and would be forgiven.

In the real world, officials had better get it right or the public will take their heads. And like MTV’s version of The Real World has shown, the public will remember failures as vividly as successes.

WWE stages raw takedown of Nuggets

Vince McMahon got his takedown of Denver Nug-gets owner Stan Kroenke Monday night.

Sort of.During the World Wrestling Entertainment’s “Mon-

day Night Raw” show, McMahon shoved a mock Kroenke to the mat and the faux Kroenke fell out of the ring at the Staples Center. The wrestling card was switched from the Pepsi Center last week to Los An-geles due to a scheduling conflict with Game 4 of the Lakers-Nuggets series in Denver. Originally, the date was held by the WWE.

In the TV skit, the counterfeit Kroenke, microphone in hand, sauntered toward the ring with a basketball under his arm. He handed the ball to an equally fake Lakers owner Jerry Buss, who was standing next to a phony David Stern and Jack Nicholson.

The imitation Kroenke then announced that he is “the owner of the soon-to-be NBA champion Denver Nug-gets. And I cannot stand the WWE or its fans, for that matter.”

“Do you think that I care that I screwed thousands

of WWE fans? I do not. I have much more important things to do with my team than worry about you peo-ple.”

McMahon then entered the fray, ambling into the ring and telling the pretend Kroenke, “None of this had to happen. All you had to do was pick up the phone, say ‘I didn’t think my team would make the playoffs, I screwed up.’”

Seconds later, McMahon shoved “Kroenke” after warning him, “When you push the WWE universe, they push back.”

Saint Collapses in VegasTMZ.com is reporting that New Orleans Saints tight

end Jeremy Shockey was found unconscious at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas and he had to be taken by stretcher to a local hospital.

According to the story, sources said Shockey was found around 2 p.m. unconscious at Rehab - Hard Rock’s Sunday pool party. A Saints official responded to the story saying Shockey suffered from dehydration and will recover.

Tour de France champion Carlos Sastre of Spain won the 16th stage of the Giro d’Italia on Monday, a gruel-ing route made even tougher by 100-degree heat.

Denis Menchov of Russia kept the leader’s pink jer-sey. Levi Leipheimer was the day’s big loser, cracking on the final climb and dropping from third to sixth in the overall standings.

“I was not as strong as those guys, it’s plain and sim-ple,” Leipheimer said. “It was hot for everyone. Today was the day that separated everyone and you see who’s strong and who’s not.”

Sastre was timed in 7 hours, 11 minutes, 54 seconds on over the 147-mile leg from Pergola to Monte Pe-

trano. The stage featured three major climbs and ended with an uphill run.

“I knew I had a chance to do something today and I did,” said Sastre, who also won the most difficult stage in last year’s Tour, at Alpe d’Huez. “This was the toughest stage of this year’s Giro.”

Menchov was the runner-up, 25 seconds behind. Da-nilo di Luca of Italy was third, 26 seconds back. Men-chov increased his lead over Di Luca to 39 seconds and Sastre moved into third overall, 2:19 back.

After a rest day Tuesday, competition resumes Wednesday with a 52-mile stage from Chieti to Block-haus. The race ends Sunday with a short individual time trial in Rome.

This one adds new meaning to the term “maniac.” HOLDEN, Maine (AP) — A project involving con-

servationists and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biolo-gists is looking for a few dozen people willing to howl like wolves in Maine’s North Woods.

The Wolf Inquiry Project plans to conduct “howling surveys” in several areas this summer in hopes of dis-covering whether wolves are resettling in Maine.

The Bangor Daily News said coordinators are seek-ing individuals willing to spend a night howling in the woods and who won’t be scared off if they get a re-sponse.

A training and information session for interested vol-unteers will be held Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Fields Pond Audubon Center in Holden.

No word on if they plan on coordinating the surveys with nights when the moon is full . . .

AVON ELEMENTARY AND THE YOUTH FOUNDATION are working with the town of Avon to increase awareness about plastic bag consumption, to help residents create more environmentally-friendly habits and to reduce the town’s plastic bag consumption as part of a friendly competition among 26 ski towns spanning from Colorado to Idaho.

The winning community will receive a $5,000 grant from Alpine Bank to be used to install a solar panel system at a public school.

Now in its second month of the plastic bag reduc-tion competition, Avon continues to increase its town-wide reduction of plastic bags. In April, Avon counted 10,807 plastic bags saved, bringing its two-month total to a reduction of over 20,000 plastic bags.

The BYOB (bring your own bag) Challenge began March 1 and continues thru Sept. 1, 2009. Shoppers will be able to identify participating merchants by the presence of the 2009 CAST Reusable Bag Challenge poster at the entrance of businesses participating. For updates on promotions, such as giveaways of free can-vas bags, and to see a list of participating Avon mer-chants, visit www.avon.org/byob.

BOBBY SWANSON AND MATT BRADY, both of Vail, are doing home improvement projects during the off-season. No word on how they plan on using those springs.

RUSSELL ALLRED can help you with anything you need at Ace Hardware in Vail. And he’s being patriotic for Memorial Day!
