THE UPDATE
Hundreds of people turned out in Ea-gle Saturday for the 2nd annual “Party for the Planet,” brought to you by The Eagle Valley Alliance for Sustainability, KZYR and the Gore Range Natural Sci-ence school.
The afternoon event was held in honor of all things Earth, and brought people together to promote a more “green” and environmentally conscious lifestyle.
Partygoers enjoyed live music from local bands Hard Scrabble and Little Hercules, and vendor booths with retail items, fresh food and beer. Accepted vendors had to follow guidelines to re-duce the amount of plastic or, worse yet, Styrofoam that would typically be used at an event like this.
Green vendorsThe green retailers that you would ex-
pect to see at a party for the planet were there, like second-hand clothing store The Green Closet, which prides them-selves on their promotion of a low envi-ronmental-impact lifestyle.
“What place better than a party for the planet for shop like The Green Closet,” said Gaylyn Johnson, who owns the sec-ond-hand clothing store along with her business partner Kim Eastabrooks. “We recycle clothing, which reduces textile waste and helps the environment.”
The Green Closet also uses organic cotton, biodegradable bags and recycled plastic hangers in their store in Eagle.
On the food side, Roberto Camma-rota’s Pastatively Italian restaurant is another vendor you’d expect to find at

Last chance to join backcountry classRegistration for weeklong course closes this week
We’re all backcountry adventurers at heart. But in ac-tual application, most of us fall dangerously short, with emphasis on the dangerous part.
So you want to be a backcountry guru but you don’t know what you’re doing. Don’t worry, there are still spots available for Apex’s Mountain School’s Wilderness First Responder course.
But this is your last week to sign up; the weeklong course starts next Sunday.
Located in Avon, the Apex school specializes in climb-ing and mountaineering adventures and skills training for backcountry preparedness.
And Apex’s SOLO WFR curriculum is an adven-
Local backcoun-try skier Brady Schlichting skis in the Beaver Creek backcountry earlier this sea-son. Schlichting rolls with trained mountaineers, and you should too if you plan on heading back there. Apex Moun-tain School’s backcountry train-ing and certifica-tion course sign-up is in its last week; call them at 949-9111.

Wiseguys don’t need no stinking
bailoutsWhile businesses around the world are
hunkering down for survival, the Italian mob is living a golden moment.
Italy’s various organized crime syndi-cates—often lumped together colloqui-ally as Mafia Inc.—are gobbling up gas stations, muscling in on supermarket fran-chises, making loans to cash-starved busi-nesses, taking over trattorias and acquir-ing buildings in swank neighborhoods in Rome and Milan, investigators say.
These mobsters have lots of what is in short supply for many businesses these days—liquidity—as well as centuries-honed expertise in preying on the vul-nerable, whose ranks are swelling in the

The Eagle County jail is overcrowded and it’s the federal and state government’s fault.
The Eagle County Sheriff’s office wants a $5 mil-lion Obamaland stimulus grant to expand the jail even more than it’s being expanded right now. And that seems only fair since the feds are creating the overcrowding by forcing the county to hold illegal aliens who run afoul of the law.
Here’s the deal:In yet another unfunded mandate, the Eagle County
Sheriff’s office and Eagle County taxpayers are re-quired to house, clothe and feed jail inmates. Fine, we don’t mind that.
Among those 80 or so prisoners, about one-third are illegal aliens.
When one of those illegal aliens breaks the law and lands in the Eagle County Crossbar Hotel, Bill Kaufman with the Eagle County Sheriff’s office explained that they have two options:
1. They can post bail and leave. If they’re an illegal alien and post bail, federal law de-mands that they be immediately deported back to their country.
2. They can sit in jail in their case works its way through an overtaxed judicial sys-tem, which takes between six months and a year, depending on the seriousness of their offense.
Most of the time they opt for Option 2.Sometimes they don’t.District Judge Fred Gannett looked down at a pris-
oner Thursday and explained to the illegal alien the rules regarding Immigration and Customs Enforce-ment (ICE) rules. He decided to post his bail and take his chances with federal authorities in Denver.
Knowing exactly what that decision would mean for the inmate, Judge Gannett looked at him for a few seconds and said, “Case closed and I wish you good fortune in your home country.”
The common philosophy is that the jail population is a mirror image of its community, said Kaufman.
Most Eagle County jail inmates are white males. You can toss in a few white females, (but not with the males.)
One-third to one-half are illegal aliens of the La-tino variety, both male and female. Very few African Americans and Asians end up in the Crossbar Hotel.
By the numbersTo deal with those numbers of illegal aliens, the Ea-
gle County Sheriff’s office is in search of a $5 million
grant from the pile of Obamaland stimulus dollars, as we mentioned. The vision is to expand the north side of the jail, as long at the place is being torn up any-way, with the $42 million expansion and remodel un-derway now. The northside expansion they want was part of the original plan, but was nixed because it was too expensive to be part of the $42 million package.
Because there are so many illegal aliens in jail and the feds require that they be held, Eagle County is paying Chaffee County $45 a day to house prisoners in Chaffee County. That $45 is about what it costs to
house prisoners in Eagle County, too.The county jail housed about 88 inmates a
day through 2008. Of those, an average 30 were illegal.
That’s $1,350 a day for the illegals.That’s $40,500 per month for illegals.That’s $490,000 a year for illegals.The State Criminal Alien Assistance Pro-
gram is a federal deal that covers part of the cost, but not much.
“Last year we got $138,000 and it went back to the county’s general fund,” said Kauf-man. “This year Sheriff Hoy makes the deter-mination about what it will be used for. The only restriction is that it has to be to improve the jail.”
A cautionary taleKaufman explained it this way.“Sven is arrested for a misdemeanor. He has family
members bring him his $3,000 bond in cash. When he bonds out, immigration is notified. Sven goes to Den-ver to see the federal magistrate. If he opts for volun-tary deportation, the bond is gone and so is Sven.”
“Meanwhile, Sven’s family is still here.”“Sven says, ‘Why would I lose the $3,000 and
get deported when my family is here? I should stay until this misdemeanor is resolved in the next few months.’”
So Sven sits in jail for months, where he enjoys his three hots and a cot (meals and a bed), while he’s waiting for his case to come around. He’s going to get deported when he leaves jail, but he gets a few more months when he can see the family, even if it’s through bulletproof glass in the jail visitors’ area.
“If this is John Q. Public, he bonds out, goes home and comes back for his court date,” said Kaufman. “John Q. Public takes up bed space for 24-48 hours. Sven stays in jail 4-6 months. Throw Sven’s cousin Bjorn into the mix after he was nailed for a DUI, and you have an overcrowded jail.”
Federal regulations are causing jail crowding
Eagle County Sheriffs say illegal immigrants tend to stay incarcerated, even for petty offenses

COMMENTARY
“I’m working for the richest newspaper owner in the world — that does give me some comfort in these times,” said a veteran Western newspaperman who just started working for one of China’s state-owned publications. “The government of China could buy Murdoch out many times over with no problem.”
His comments came as a second English-language daily funded by the central government hits the streets in large Chinese cities. The Global Times, a tabloid published by the People’s Daily — which itself has a daily circulation of 2.8 million — was launched with clinking glasses at a ceremony in a five-star hotel on April 20. It will start out with a print run of 100,000 copies from Monday to Fri-day each week.
The paper now competes with the long-established China Daily, a six-day-a-week broadsheet that is also innovating. It started a U.S. edition earlier this year and is well underway in its program to start a European edition. As well, it is already on a hiring spree to triple the number of foreign editors it em-ploys.
News accounts earlier this year said that Xinhua, the national newswire, will open more overseas bureaus to expand to virtually every country in the world. It all shows the government has a huge PR war chest and is prepared to throw it open.
Critics note that all those media are controlled by a powerful central government that still has a Ministry of Propaganda – but at least its clearly labeled that way, so the bias is clear from the start.
“I didn’t come here to tell the Chinese how to run China — even I’m not that arrogant, ” said the expat editor. “I am here as a professional who needs work. So far, I have not had to do anything I found offensive.”
Like surging auto sales, China’s media expansion is a mirror image of the West — going the opposite direction. The Chinese know full well now is a great time to not only buy distressed companies, but ac-quire quality talent. It’s an employer’s market, few professions more so than in journalism. The collapse of Denver’s Rocky Mountain News in March alone put another 200 or so on the job market.
The China Daily has had an ad for editors on www.jounalismjobs.com, the largest industry job portal, and has reportedly been flooded with applicants. Its compensation package includes an apartment at the paper’s Beijing compound, all utilities paid, insurance
and a decent salary. As a vestige of its time as a com-munal work unit, it even has a free canteen where one can eat three meals a day.
“In theory I wouldn’t have to spend any money on expenses,” the editor said.
He added that he’s seen no evidence of stories re-jected or redacted due to censorship, “but it doesn’t get that far — everyone knows the routine, so no one writes things that will get them in trouble.”
Though a safe port in troubled times, the job could take its toll over the long haul. A recent interview with
Hu Yong, a professor of journalism at Peking University, showed the corrosive effect it had on him after stints at Sanlian Lifeweek, the China Internet Weekly and China Central Tele-vision (CCTV), all state-run media outlets.
“The most depressing time during my ca-reer as a journalist was the few years when I worked at CCTV,” Hu told the respected me-dia website Danwei.org. “We frequently took challenging tasks — they came thick and fast, but restrictions and limitations for reporting were present everywhere. Sometimes we had to race to broadcast news before the order came down [to censor it] and sometimes dif-ficult things we’d experienced in faraway lo-cations were immediately made void by one order, or in the process of broadcasting the news, the provincial public relations people
would stop it. The feelings of hardness and pain this caused is hard to imagine for outsiders.”
Some even rebel knowing it will end their careers. “There are many news ‘desperados’ who are well re-spected and we have to express our tribute to them,” Hu said of those who break the rules. “There were people like this at CCTV and Xinhua. You know this is really, really important — there are people in the mainstream media who are trying to get closer to the central values of journalism.”
I know of one such ‘desperado’ who was in charge of the Web site at a state-run newspaper. Under his watch a foreign wire service story on a taboo subject ran for some 12 hours before it was pulled down. He was moved from out of his position the same day and has not been back at work since, though I don’t know where he went.
But the fact Hu can speak out, criticize and have that carried on a well-read internet portal shows there is more diversity in the media than many in the West might think.

a local celebration of the environment. His downtown Eagle restaurant’s motto is “The sauce may be red, but it’s really green for Colorado.”
Cammarota makes his sauces fresh from homegrown red tomatoes, which he says reduces global CO2 emis-sions by eliminating the shipping footprint that’s nor-mally incurred when you sit down and enjoy a nice red sauce. Cammarota was excited about the turnout at the event.
“I love anything that brings people together,” he said. “This is what life is meant to be.”
Even Broadway Liquors’ beer garden had a green spin; it was BYO cup and get a dollar off your choice of New Belgium brew. One guy brought a measuring cup.
Unlike Nascar, skateboarding a green sportYou weren’t expecting to find any Nascar tents there,
but the great green sport of skateboarding, an activity that was born with virtually no carbon footprint by tak-ing advantage of already existing asphalt and concrete, was celebrated at the Party for the Planet, as well.
CJ’s Skateshop, located next to Costco in Gypsum, set up a ramp at the event and hosted a skate park ex-hibition, and young Cole Pates, whose parents own the
shop, ripped it up for the crowd. “I’m really glad there’s skateboarding here,” said
Cole’s friend Harry Kuller. “It’s really cool and it gives us something to do.”
Event organizer Hannah Irwin said that was among their intentions.
“The idea is to bring the community together,” she said. “There’s lots of ways to incorporate a more sus-tainable lifestyle into your everyday routine and that’s what we’re trying to teach people.”
Irwin is known as the “token vegan” at the Eagle Val-ley Alliance for Sustainability, which helped put on the event along with KZYR and the Gore Range Natural Science School. She said she was impressed with the turnout, which could be attributed in part to the live music selection. Hard Scrabble, a local “bluegrass/newgrass” band, were jamming out as Irvin was com-menting on the numbers.
Eric Lovgren is known as “Banjovi,” taking up, you guessed it, the banjo role for Hard Scrabble.
“It’s awesome, I’m so happy we’re able to play here,” said Lovgren of the party. “It’s grown so much.”
And that seemed to be the general consensus. “From what I understand there’s definitely more peo-
ple here than last year,” said KZYR’s Lauren Merrill, who’s also an event organizer. “We’re already looking forward to another great time next year.”

ture in itself. “The course is designed to teach you how to
survive in the backcountry using improvised re-sources and varying environmental conditions,” says Apex Mountain School spokesperson Sean Stidham. “It’s the most widely recognized and most oft-required outdoor leader certification.”
The course was created in the ‘80s to provide outdoor leaders, guides, and rangers with the knowledge to deal with crises in remote set-tings. And, as many of us in the Valley know, anything created in the ‘80s is, well, totally awesome.
It runs from Sunday to Sunday with some time in the classroom and some time out in the field. All told you’re in it for 80 hours. When you’re done you’ll have meet DOT’s National Standards for First Responder with additional protocols for extended-care situations. Like all of Apex’s Wilderness Medicine programs, the emphasis of the WFR is on prevention and de-cision-making.
There are no prerequisites for the full course, and students who successfully complete the WFR course will receive a SOLO Wilderness First Responder card and an American Heart Association Adult Heartsaver CPR card (or equivalent).
Register for Apex’s up-coming Wilderness First Responder course by visiting their Web site, www.apexmountainschool.com, or by call-ing 949-9111.
It just might save your life. A WFR response team performs a mock search and res-cue. Registration for the course closes this week.

current financial crisis.It all means the mob is free to sink cash into two ar-
eas that lie at the heart of the global meltdown: real estate and credit markets.
The crime syndicates are flush with billions of euros from extortion rackets, drug trafficking and booming sales in fake designer clothing made in China expressly for the Italian mob—an increasingly lucrative trade as hard-hit consumers search for bargains, prosecutors and police said in recent interviews.
Italy has scored some spectacular successes in its decades-long fight against the Mafia, capturing top bosses, persuading turncoats to testify, and encourag-ing ordinary citizens to resist shakedowns.
But the mob keeps growing—and its drive in recent years to grab chunks of legitimate business is paying off big time in the financial crisis. The Rome-based Eurispes think tank has estimated that in 2008, “Ma-fia Inc.” earned euro130 billion (then $167 billion), or about 8 percent of Italy’s GDP, from its criminal activities.
These protestors should have some tea
More than 100 protesters upset with the way world leaders have handled the economic crisis clashed with police Saturday outside the International Monetary Fund and World Bank meetings.
Authorities used batons and pepper spray when ac-tivists tried to march onto a prohibited street, and sev-eral people were pushed to the ground by police. The protesters swarmed officers unexpectedly, and police had to respond, said D.C. police Capt. Jeffrey Herold.
A 22-year-old man accused of using pepper spray on an officer during the scuffle was arrested, D.C. police said. Before the demonstrations began, police arrested six people and accused them of vandalizing two banks, an incident that authorities think was linked to the protests.
Gitmo-ntana?President Barack Obama has 240 terror suspects he
has said will be moved out of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, within a year. The Montana city of Hardin has a brand-new empty jail.
A match made in heaven? Hardin officials think so;
----------------------------------------- [From page 1]THE UPDATEMontana’s congressional delegation thinks not.
The development authority in Hardin, a city of 3,400 people bordering the Crow Indian Reservation, built the $27 million, 460-bed jail two years ago and has been looking for tenants ever since. Its construction loans are in default.
The City Council voted 5-0 Tuesday in favor of a resolution supporting a proposal to house terror sus-pects currently detained at the U.S. naval base in Guan-tanamo Bay while they await trial.
U.S. Sen. Max Baucus and the rest of the state’s con-gressional delegation — Democratic Sen. Jon Tester and Republican Rep. Denny Rehberg — agreed that bringing Guantanamo prisoners to Montana is a bad idea, though they support efforts to find some other use for the jail.
Did anyone know they still made Pontiacs?
GM would not deny reports Friday that it is preparing to scrap its Pontiac brand after taxpayers invested another $2 billion in General Motors Corp. this week. The struggling auto giant issued a statement saying that no announce-ment had been made regarding Pontiac as it continued ef-forts to restructure and avoid bankruptcy court.
The Treasury Department said Friday it lent the addi-tional money to GM on Wednesday to provide working capital. The loan pushes the total amount of GM’s govern-ment aid to $15.4 billion after the company said it would need more money in the second quarter to stay afloat.
A government report revealed earlier this week that the Treasury was prepared to provide GM with up to $5 billion more in federal loans and Chrysler with up to $500 million more in bailout support as they race against deadlines to restructure. GM has until June 1 to complete restructuring plans that satisfy the govern-ment’s auto task force.

ATHLETIC STUFF
Hockey Goalie’s surgery successful in Vail
Niklas Backstrom, the Minnesota Wild’s All-Star goaltender who recently signed a four-year deal worth
$24 million, underwent successful hip surgery on Friday in Vail.
The surgery was performed by Dr. Marc Philippon at the prestigious Steadman-Hawkins Clinic.
The Wild originally expected to have Backstrom back on the ice in mid-Sep-tember, but the recovery time has now been shortened because the cartilage damage turned out to be less than an-ticipated, according to the team’s Web
site. The Wild now expects to have him back on the ice
in as little as 12 weeks. This is the second player from Minnesota’s orga-
nization to receive surgery from Philippon this year. The all-star doctor fixed the hip of the Wild’s Marian Gaborik in January.
OUR APOLOGIES to Dr. Philippon, the Tiger Woods of hip doctors, for misspelling his name in our previous story about Backstrom’s surgery. You would think with how many star athletes we’ve reported on Philippon fixing this year we’d have it down by now. So it’s three P’s, two I’s and one L. We think we got it. Sorry, Doc.
BACKSTROM
No. 1 NFL draft pick can probably buy Detroit
Ford may need another bailout following Lions’ big deal
The Lions, who last year were the first team in NFL history to lose 16 games in a single season, gave Geor-gia quarterback Matthew Stafford a huge, six-year, $72 million deal with $41.7 million guaranteed.
To put the deal in perspective, Peyton Manning signed a seven-year, $98 million deal in 2004, but Manning’s only had a measly $34 million guaranteed. Former Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler is still playing on his original six-year, $47.86 million deal. That’s $24 million less than Stafford will be earning.
The Lions, owned by the Ford family, a major share-holder of the struggling auto company of the same name, (a recent bailout recipient), had weeks of back

An equipment manager’s estranged wife was charged with trying to extort Louisville men’s basketball coach Rick Pitino, at first demanding cars and tuition for her children, then later asking for $10 million, according to a federal complaint filed Friday.
What sort of information Sypher may have been trying to use to extort the successful coach was not included in the complaint, which only said Pitino be-lieved it was related to an unspecified encounter with the woman in 2003. Pitino took over Louisville’s bas-ketball program in 2001.

DR. TOMMY LOVES the I LOVE MEAT my tray at OLD FORGE PIZZA in Lionshead. He works at Double Diamond and spends most of his wages at OLD FORGE.
ALONG WITH LIVE MUSIC, large crowds and a beer garden usually comes a need for a bouncer of some sort. Gore Range Natural Science School volunteer Chip Howard was that bouncer at Eagle’s Party for the Planet Saturday. Gore Range Natural Science School was one of the groups we can thank for bringing us the party.

Battle Mountain’s JV and Varsity lacrosse teams squared off against Grand Valley in the last game of the season Saturday. The giant Grand Valley squad dwarfed the young JV and Varsity Battle Mountain teams in terms of size, but coach Tommy King is optimistic about the young team. “[Battle Mountain] is a learning curve right now,” said King. “But they’ll be a team to watch in the next few years.” The Varsity Huskies scored 2 to Grand Valley’s 12, while the JV’s team’s Carl Lipp and Thomas Huzella scored 2 to Grand Valley’s 9. Pictured here is Battle Mountain JV’s Chris-tian Nickles facing off against Josh Gardner of Grand Valley at the start of Saturday’s contest. Erinn Hoban photo.
