The Vail Jazz Festival’s Labor Day Weekend Party kicks off today, featuring some of the world’s greatest Jazz musi-cians.

It starts tonight with the Clayton Broth-ers Quintet and continues through Mon-day with grammy-award winning pianist Bill Cunliffe, among many others.

By the end of the 5-day party, more than 24 hours of jazz will have been en-joyed in the Vail Valley. Vail Jazz Foun-dation executive director Mia Vlaar says they’ve managed to sign an unbelievable group of musicians this year.

“The party has become very well known in jazz circles,” says Vlaar. “The format allows most musicians to play with most others, providing audiences

with a unique and exciting experience of the true essence of jazz.”

The party’s one-of-a-kind format in-cludes group performances, multi-artist jam sessions and multi-media salutes to Jazz legends.

“It’s a really fun environment for the artists,” said Vlaar. “It’s such a dynamic environment.”

Each year, up-and-coming “young li-ons” play alongside the living legends of jazz in an intimate venue.

The music will be presented during eight sessions, and at this music festival, you will get more than one chance to see your favorite artist. Audiences will en-joy virtually every musician each day if attending all sessions during a day.

“We don’t have them here for four days with the intention of them playing

The festival’s annual jazz party starts today with a performance from the Clayton Brothers Quintet, led by John Clayton on bass and Jeff Clayton on saxophone. They will be joined by grammy-award win-ning pianist Bill Cunliffe on piano, Terell Stafford on trumpet and Lewis Nash on drums. Avery Cunliffe photo.

Great American Taxi, playing Samana in Vail Village tonight, is a self-described swinging concoction of swampy blues, progressive bluegrass, funky New Or-leans strut, Southern boogie, honky tonk country, gospel and good old fashioned rock ‘n’ roll.

Put it all together, and you’ve got what the band calls “Americana without boarders.”

“We wanted something that would leave plenty of options open to us, as far as style goes. That certainly does it,” singer, guitarist and mandolin player

with a jolt, turning sharply higher after a pair of encouraging reports on manu-facturing sent investors seeking out riskier investments. Prices for the safest assets — Treasurys, gold and the dollar — all fell. The Dow Jones industrial av-erage closed at 10,269.47 up 254.75 on the day. While the Standard and Poors 500 closed up 30.96 at 1080.29, and the Nasdaq closed up 62.81 at 2176.84.

Claudia Alexander wants to ex-amine the entire county in the way she was able to examine her depart-ment while she was working there.

Alexander started working for the county in 2005 as a property manag-er for the county’s Golden Eagle Se-nior Apartments, which consist of 36 dwellings for low income se-niors funded by the U.S. Depart-ment of Agricul-

ture. While she was there, she was able to save Eagle County taxpay-ers more than $50,000 per year by making cutbacks in that depart-

ment, she says. Now the Republican candidate for

county commissioner on the Nov. 3 ballot, she wants to be able to look at the rest of Eagle County’s depart-ments in that same way.

“We need all of the departments to develop sound policies and pro-cedures,” said Alexander. “We need to end the spending spree and look at a leaner, more productive gov-ernment.”

Alexander points to projects which she says require a heavy lay-er of bureaucracy, like the current Riverview Apartments remodel, a $6 million project funded by a com-bination of loans, green grants and tax credits.

“All this adds another layer of bu-reaucracy and rules and regulations that have to be managed,” said Al-exander. “There’s lots of hoops you

have to jump through to qualify for the green money, and I’m looking at whether it saves us money or costs us jobs.”

Alexander is also the former di-rector of Riverview, which is the county’s only federally-subsidized low income housing project. She says Riverview residents see first-hand the problems faced by low-wage earners in this country, and they’re directly tied to illegal immi-gration into the United States.

“The people that I know that were living [at Riverview] were very upset, because they said even the low-paying jobs were being taken by illegals,” said Alexander. “I lit-erally had single moms coming in and crying while I was managing it because they couldn’t find jobs because they said they were being

Treasurer sees spikein delinquent taxes

The Eagle County Treasurer’s Office is experienc-ing a large increase in the number of delinquent mobile home and personal property taxes as compared to last year. The office is working to make property owners aware of the collection process in order to save them from owing additional fees on past-due accounts.

All property taxes unpaid as of June 15 are considered delinquent and are accruing monthly interest penalties. Delinquent tax notices were mailed the first week of July, with a follow-up notice mailed the first week of August. Any mobile home or personal property taxes that were still delinquent on Aug. 20 were advertised in the newspaper per Colorado state statute, which added a fee of $10 to each account. Mobile homes will be ad-vertised a second time in October, adding another $10 to the amount owed.

Any mobile home or personal property accounts that have not been paid by the end of September will have a distraint warrant served to the physical location of the mobile home or business by an Eagle County sheriff’s deputy during the first week of October. This process can add up to $100 in fees to the amount owed. All mo-bile homes taxes that are still delinquent as of Oct. 22 will be sold at the annual tax lien sale on Oct. 27.

Those with delinquent property taxes owing on a mo-bile home or personal property are urged to contact the Treasurer’s Office to obtain the amount due and discuss the deadlines, so as to avoid paying additional fees and interest.

In addition, those with a business that has been sold or closed should notify the Treasurer’s Office as soon as possible. Call 970-328-8860 for more information.

CDOT proposal could cost $20BSolution aims for long-term congestion solution for I-70

Next Friday, Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) will be releasing a Programatic Environmen-tal Impact Statement (PEIS) for the I-70 corridor.

The new 540-page report will be available to the pub-lic for 60 days, with a local meeting being held October 7 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Eagle County fairgrounds. On Monday the Eagle County Commissioners met with a representative from CDOT and got a preview of what to expect from next week’s PEIS.

In the report, CDOT is recommending a project that could cost $20 billion, which would absorb the entire CDOT budget for 20 years.

The 2010 report is based on a Draft PEIS released in 2004, and the public feedback from that report. The 2004 report drew criticism on a number of issues that the current report addresses.

After the 2004 DPEIS was released governments along the corridor, in association with the Northwest Council of Governments, expressed concerns they felt the 2004 plan wasn’t broad enough, and didn’t plan far enough into the future. As a response the governments along the corridor formed the I-70 Coalition. One of the coalition’s goals was to have CDOT to remove a $4 billion funding threshold that was placed on the proj-ect, which they felt limited mass-transit choices for the corridor. They also wanted any plans to be done on a 50-year time table instead of the 25-year horizon the 2004 document used.

In the planning process following the 2004 report, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and CDOT agreed with the I-70 coalition that if a consensus could be reached by that group, CDOT would adopt that as a preferred alternative.

CDOT Local Government Liaison Michelle Halstead began Monday’s meeting by explaining the new report was created in response to what she called the “unified opposition” to the 2004 DPEIS.

Halstead told the commissioners the technology that would be used in the corridor is more evolved than what the public is used to. The actual technology is not defined in the report, but is referred to broadly as Ad-vanced Guideway Systems (AGS). AGS represents a spectrum of new high-speed mass-transit technologies like monorail or magnetic levitation.

The I-70 coalition’s consensus sets up assessment dates and includes a set of triggers for future planning, which are designed to assure AGS is given a fair chance to succeed before other alternatives are pursued, Hal-stead said. In 2020 CDOT and the I-70 coalition will assess progress in the corridor, and the feasibility of a continued focus on AGS. If it proves unworkable at that point other alternatives could begin to be developed.

The new PEIS is a tier-one planning report which will broadly shape planning goals along the corridor. It is not a detailed document that presents projects which will be developed; those future plans will be done un-der the planning umbrella of the new PEIS report. For example, if a lane expansion were being planned for a segment of the interstate, planning on that project would be done in accordance with the guidelines set in the new PEIS. Those guidelines focus on mass-transit, but also sets general location and general alignment of future projects. These future projects would go through their own planning process, and need to meet environ-mental impact study requirements.

The new PEIS report was created by CDOT starting in February to fix the problems of the 2004 DPEIS, while summarizing the information in that report. Halstead says the result is a more readable document, which accounts for changes since 2004. The new report also responds to comments that were made about the 2004 report.

Halstead said the purpose of the new report is to “in-crease capacity, improve accessibility and mobility, and decrease congestion for travel demand, projected to occur in 2035 and 2050, to destinations along the

Two mismatched New York City detectives seize an opportunity to step up like the city’s top cops whom they idolize -- only things don’t quite go as planned. Directed by Adam McKay, “The Other Guys” stars Will Farrell, Mark Wahlberg, Eva Mendes and Michael Keaton.

As an assassin, Jack (Clooney) is constantly on the move and always alone. After a job in Sweden ends more harshly than expected for this Ameri-can abroad, Jack retreats to the Italian country-side. Savoring the peaceful quietude he finds in the mountains of Abruzzo, Jack accepts the friendship of local priest Father Benedetto (Paolo Bonacelli) and pursues a torrid liaison with a beautiful woman, Clara (Violante Placido). Jack and Clara’s time to-gether evolves into a romance, one seemingly free of danger. But by stepping out of the shadows, Jack may be tempting fate in “The American.”

A recently divorced guy meets the woman of his dreams. Then he meets her son in “Cyrus.”

Vail Resorts announced yesterday that Bobby Murphy has been named director of the Vail Snowsports School, replacing Pete Sonntag who was recently appointed vice president and general manager of Heavenly Mountain Resort in Lake Tahoe.

Murphy brings more than 20 years of ski in-dustry experience to Vail, and as a current, two-term member of the Professional Ski Instructors of America (PSIA) National Alpine Team, he is recognized as one of the most accomplished snowsports professionals in the country.

“I am thrilled to welcome Bobby to Vail and believe his experience, perspective, attitude and leadership will continue the Vail Snowsports School’s progression as the world’s largest and premier ski and snowboard school,” said Chris Jarnot, senior vice president and chief operating officer of Vail Mountain.

In 2008, Murphy joined Vail Resorts as direc-

tor of skier services at Keystone Resort, where he led the Ski and Ride School and was respon-sible for ticket sales, child care and racing. Prior to his position at Keystone, Bobby served as Vice President of Resort Services and Ski and Snowboard School at Telluride Ski Resort, and at Crested Butte in the ski snowboard school as a manager of both the children’s and adult’s programs. In addition to being a PSIA National Alpine Team Member, Murphy is a technical reviewer for 32 Degrees: The Journal of Profes-sional Snowsports Instruction, and has been a featured expert ski instructor in SKI Magazine. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in com-mercial recreation from the University of Iowa.

Bobby will begin his transition to Vail next week and, along with his wife Jenny and two young daughters, will relocate from Summit County to the Vail Valley. He will report direct-ly to Jarnot.

Ski and Snowboard Club Vail announced last week they have hired Sara Radamus to be their new Alpine Youth Programs Director. She will oversee all Arc Force Programs for J3 through J6 as well as Carver Corps.

“This new position at SSCV is an important leader-ship role in the Alpine Program at SSCV as it puts a new focus on our younger programs, said Dan Stripp, SSCV Alpine Director. “I am personally thrilled that Sara has taken on this position; we are lucky to have her working directly with the young kids in our club.”

Radamus has a long history with SSCV beginning in 1982 when she was the Women’s Nor Am Coach work-ing with the club’s top women racers. From 1983-86 she was the Head J2 Coach for both men and women before leaving for the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club (SSWSC) where she held the same position until 1991. From 1991-94, she was the head women’s coach at SSWSC where she also served as the director of re-cruiting for a newly implemented ski racing program at the Lowell Whiteman School. From 1994- 2009, she worked with a number of athletes as a private coach in Vail and Park City. Last year, she returned to the SSCV alpine staff full time as assistant J3 coach.

For the last 25 years, Radamus has also been the Di-rector and Head Coach of Sports Club International, Inc., conducting summer training camps in New Zea-land, Sunday River, Whistler, Saas Fe, Mt. Hood, Valle Nevado, Pitztal, Copper Mountain and Vail/Beaver Creek.

As a student/athlete, Radamus was in the first gradu-ating class of Stratton Mountain School before going on to compete for Middlebury College where she grad-uated with a B.S. in Art History. She was a four-time All American and Middlebury College’s Athlete of the Year in three of those years. She was also recognized as Ski Racing’s Collegiate Skier of the Year in 1979. From 1980-82 she raced on the Women’s Professional Ski Racing Tour. Today, Radamus continues to serve Middlebury as an alumni interviewer for prospective students from the area.

Radamus holds the highest level of coaches’ certifi-cation from USSA as an International Level 4 Coach and has also served as an examiner for Levels 1-3 at the National Coaches’ Academy. She has participated as an US Ski Team Associate Coach at numerous World Cup, Europa Cup, World Junior Championships, To-

Mideast leaders to seize a fleeting opportunity to settle their differences and deliver peace to a region haunted by decades of hostility.

“Do we have the wisdom and the courage to walk the path of peace?” Obama asked, with the leaders of Jordan, Egypt, Israel and the Palestinians beside him in the crowded East Room of the White House. Earlier Obama had met with each individually, and they was gathering afterward for dinner.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Is-raelis seek a lasting peace, not an interlude between wars. He called Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas “my partner in peace,” and said he came to Washington in search of an enduring agreement. “I came here today to make peace. Everybody loses if there is no peace.”

Reward the rangerThe U.S. Forest Service is reviewing whether an

eastern Arizona ranger whose tip led to the capture of two of the most wanted fugitives in America can re-ceive $27,500 in reward money under the agency’s eth-ics guidelines.

Apache Sitgreaves National Forest spokeswoman Pam Baltimore said Wednesday local forest officials would like to see the ranger get the money. But she said tentative word from the U.S. Department of Ag-riculture, which oversees the Forest Service, is that he cannot.

Ethics guidelines generally prevent forest employees from receiving gifts over $25, she said.

Two people who provided information that led to the arrest of the second inmate a week later in Wyoming have split $12,500 of the reward money, said Fidencio Rivera, chief deputy U.S. marshal for Arizona.

Rivera said the Marshals Service is waiting for a determination on whether the Arizona forest ranger is eligible for the remaining $27,500 in the capture of John McCluskey and Casslyn Welch, the alleged ac-complice.

It’s always campaign season

Ten days ago, Scott McAdams had a volunteer trea-surer and a few thousand dollars to help him pursue the Democratic nomination for U.S. senator in Alaska.

With the shocking upset victory by tea party darling Joe Miller over U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski for the Re-publican nomination, McAdams says volunteers and money are flowing his way.

A pair of staffers from the office of U.S. Sen. Mark Begich are taking leave to assist the campaign. He has hired a spokeswoman.

Senate Democrats are polling in Alaska to find out if their money would be well-spent backing McAdams, the mayor of Sitka.

McAdams says e-mails are pouring in with offers to help. And he expects his campaign to have collected $100,000 by end of the week as Alaskans pitch in to help him defeat the Republican endorsed by Sarah Pa-lin.

Suit against federal drilling ban to proceed

A federal judge who overturned the Obama adminis-tration’s initial six-month moratorium on deepwater oil drilling has rejected the government’s bid to have the court challenge thrown out.

Government lawyers argued that a lawsuit filed by several offshore service companies over the May 28 moratorium was moot because the Interior Department imposed a new, temporary drilling ban on July 12.

But U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman rejected that argument Wednesday, saying the second moratorium “arguably fashions no substantial changes” from the first.

The moratorium followed the massive BP PLC oil spill.

The Justice Department has asked the 5th U.S. Cir-cuit Court of Appeals to review Feldman’s earlier rul-ing overturning the first moratorium.

Blair and boozeTony Blair regrets banning fox hunting, but not in-

vading Iraq. He was captivated by Princess Diana, in-timidated by Queen Elizabeth II. He heaps praise on President George W. Bush but calls his close colleague Gordon Brown a man of “zero” emotional intelligence. He acknowledges that some find him delusional, and says he possibly drank a bit too much.

Blair’s long-awaited memoir hit bookstores yester-day, and the revealing, self-justifying 700-page volume provides plenty of fodder for the former British leader’s supporters – and detractors.

The former British prime minister was paid a 4 million pound ($7 million) advance for “A Journey,” which recounts his voyage from political neophyte to youthful prime minister to admired, and then reviled, statesman.

Exit interviews tell true feelings

Departing White House economist Christina Romer says the government has the tools for bringing down unemployment, but policymakers need to find the will and wisdom to use them.

Romer called on officials yesterday to move forward on policies that will increase government spending and cut taxes. She also called for investments in infrastruc-ture and new trade agreements.

Romer said that while some new policies should be viewed as emergency measures, most should be paid for with future spending cuts or revenue returns. She said concerns about the mounting deficit should not be used as an excuse “for leaving unemployed workers to suffer.”

Romer is leaving her post as head of the Council of Economic Advisers to return to the University of Cali-fornia, Berkeley, as an economics

Man who wanted to save the earth shot and killed by police

A man who railed against the Discovery Channel’s environmental programming for years burst into the

company’s headquarters with at least one explosive device strapped to his body yesterday and took three people hostage at gunpoint before police shot him to death, officials said.

The hostages — two Discovery Communications em-ployees and a security guard — were unhurt after the four-hour standoff. Montgomery County Police Chief Thomas Manger said tactical officers moved in after officers monitoring Lee on building security cameras saw him pull out a handgun and point it at a hostage.

NBC News reported that after its producers called Discovery’s general number, a man identifying himself as James J. Lee got on the phone and said he had a gun and several bombs.

“I have several bombs strapped to my body ready to go off. I have a device that if I drop it, if I drop it, it will ... explode,” the man told NBC.

He said he built the bombs in about three weeks. “I did a lot of research. I had to experiment,” he said.

Manger said the suspect held the hostages in the lobby area of the first floor. Authorities said they will methodically go through the building and identify any suspicious items.

Is Burger King on the value menu?

Shares of Burger King Holdings Inc. soared nearly 17 percent yesterday after published reports said the fast food chain was in talks to be acquired by a private equity firm.

Both The New York Times and The Wall Street Jour-nal reported that 3G Capital was among parties inter-ested in pursuing a deal with Burger King. Neither pub-lication named its sources.

Earlier in the day, The Wall Street Journal reported that the interested party was a different firm, 3i Group PLC. When 3i denied its involvement, Burger King momentarily lost much of its hefty stock gains it made during the morning.

But by midday, the company’s shares were on the climb again, gaining $2.48, or 15.1 percent, to $18.93 in trading. A spokesman from Burger King declined to comment on the report, and a message left with 3G wasn’t immediately returned.

GM August deliveries drop 25 percent

General Motors Co. says its August sales dropped 7 percent compared with July, but fell 25 percent from a year earlier when Cash for Clunkers boosted sales.

BY THE NUMBERS: GM sold 185,176 vehicles last month, compared with a year-ago total of 246,479.

TOP SELLERS: Buick sales rose 66 percent dur-ing the month compared with August 2009, buoyed by strong demand for the LaCrosse, and it is the fastest-growing major auto brand in the U.S. in the year to date.

Illegal immigration drops 67 percent

The number of illegal immigrants living in the U.S. has dropped for the first time in two decades — de-creasing by 8 percent since 2007, a new study finds. The reasons range from the sour economy to Mexican violence and increased U.S. enforcement that has made it harder to sneak across the border. The Washington Post is reporting immigration is down 67 percent in the last 10 years.

Much of the decline comes from a sharp drop-off in illegal immigrants from the Caribbean, Central Amer-ica and South America attempting to cross the south-ern border of the U.S., according to the Pew Hispanic Center, which based its report on an analysis of 2009 census data.

Douglas gives himself 80 percent chance

Michael Douglas says he faces an “eight-week strug-gle” against throat cancer but is optimistic about his chances for recovery.

During an appearance Tuesday on David Letterman’s “Late Show,” the actor said he had just finished his first week of radiation and chemotherapy. That drew a sur-prised reaction from Letterman.

Douglas said, the cancer remains above the neck and that means expectations are good, with an 80 percent or better chance of recovery.

Asked by Letterman about his personal habits, he said he had smoked and consumed alcohol.

According to a National Institutes of Health website, use of tobacco or alcohol are among the factors that put people at risk of developing throat cancer. Combining tobacco and drinking increases the risk.

Most throat cancer develops in people older than 50, with men more likely than women to get the disease, the NIH site says.

$600 million Botox settlement

Allergan Inc., the maker of wrinkle-smoothing Bo-tox, has agreed to pay $600 million to settle a yearslong federal investigation into its marketing of the top-sell-ing, botulin-based drug.

The Justice Department and the company said yester-

day in a statement it will plead guilty to one misdemean-or charge of “misbranding,” in which the company’s marketing led physicians to use Botox for unapproved uses. Those included the treatment of headache, pain, spasticity and cerebral palsy in children.

Companies are prohibited from promoting drugs for unapproved, or “off-label,” uses.

Allergan officials will make their first appearance in federal court today. The settlement is not official until approved by a federal judge.

“The FDA had approved therapeutic uses of Botox for only four rare conditions, yet Allergan made it a top corporate priority to maximize sales of far more lucrative off-label uses that were not approved by the FDA,” said Sally Yates, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia. “Allergan further demanded tre-mendous growth in these off-label sales year after year, even when there was little clinical evidence that these uses were effective.”

after crashing through the windshield.He suffered broken legs. Police say he’s in critical

condition.The car’s owner, Guy McCormack, of Old Bridge,

N.J., told the Daily News he’s convinced that rosary beads he kept inside the Dodge saved Magill’s life.

Police are investigating why Magill jumped from the building.

Magill isn’t the only New Yorker to survive a high-rise fall. Window washer Alcides Moreno fell 47 sto-ries from the roof of a skyscraper in December 2007, and doctors expected him to walk again.

Hilton policy, if applied broadly, could be bad for

businessParis Hilton was banned yesterday from two Wynn

resorts on the Las Vegas Strip, and her boyfriend was dismissed as a nightclub partner following their arrests in a vehicle that police said reeked of marijuana.

Wynn Resorts Ltd. spokeswoman Jennifer Dunne told The Associated Press that Hilton is barred from Wynn Las Vegas and Encore.

Meanwhile, boyfriend Cy Waits was “separated” from his job after less than a week as top managing partner of the Tryst Nightclub at Wynn and XS The Nightclub at Encore, Dunne said in a statement.

Waits and a lawyer and publicist for the 29-year-old Hilton did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The moves come after Hilton was arrested Friday for investigation of felony cocaine possession. Waits was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Charges have not yet been filed.

Bloomberg to cabinet?The New York Post is reporting there are whispers

the president sounded out Bloomberg about whether he would join his foundering economic team as treasury secretary, replacing prime blame-target Timothy Gei-thner.

“Obama needs Bloomberg more than Bloomberg needs Obama,” a source is quoted by the Post. “Obama’s looking to do something bold and credible before the election.”

The article reports insiders say multibillionaire Bloomberg, who was on the short list for the gig in 2008, has the star power and credibililty to help Obama.

“It’s been the focus of a lot of discussion,” one Demo-crat is quoted in the article. “He’s very well-liked and well-respected on Wall Street.”

Because Bloomberg has lately been giving speeches on national issues in key states such as Iowa and New Hampshire – and behaving like a possible independent presidential candidate for 2012 – Obama reportedly has even more reason to bring him into the fold.

“Bloomberg would absolutely devastate Obama in states like Florida and New York,” said a Democratic source to the Post. “Bloomberg couldn’t win, but he could definitely elect a Republican president” by si-phoning votes from Obama the article reports.

Apple Pings FacebookApple gave its iTunes software a minor makeover,

and added some social features to help people discover new music and tap into what friends are listening to. The feature, called Ping, is likely based on the technol-ogy Apple acquired with the purchase of Lala.com last year.

The Ping section in iTunes 10 lets people “follow” friends, musicians and others, and see such details as what music they’re buying and what concerts they’re attending. The information will come in a long stream of updates, similar to the way Facebook and Twitter work, and put it in competition with these two compa-nies.

So much for material girlsThe Wall Street Journal is reporting since the mar-

riage rate among Japan’s shrinking population is fall-ing and with many of the country’s remaining lovebirds heading for Hawaii or Australia’s Gold Coast, the re-sort town of Atami had to do something. Reportedly it is trying to attract single men—and their handheld devices.

In the first month of the city’s promotional campaign launched July 10, the article reports more than 1,500 male fans of the Japanese dating-simulation game LovePlus+ have flocked to Atami for a romantic date with their videogame character girlfriends.

The men are real, and the girls are cartoon characters on a screen, the Journal reports. The trips are actual, can be expensive and aim to re-create the virtual week-end outing featured in the game, a product of Konami Corp. played on Nintendo Co.’s DS videogame system, Daisuke Wakabayashi writes in the Journal.

Down valley string band closes out a fun summer

Hardscrabble replaces bass player, looks to fall

The Eagle Valley has had a knack for serving up a healthy portion of good ol’ Colorado bluegrass. This fall, help yourself to some Hardscrabble.

The six-piece group has been springing up all over the valley this summer, playing gigs at the VRD bike and run after parties, Potatopalooza, and they’re regu-lars at the Rittenhouse.

The band consists of five Eagle/Gypsum residents: Steve DeGroat on mandolin, Jim Buckelew on guitar and vocals, Jena Skinner-Markowitz on vocals and har-monica, Adam Palmer on lead guitar, and Eric Lovgren on Banjo.

The group is taking a break to transition away from up-right bassist Bill Britt, who is moving out of town. They’ve picked up longtime valley musician Scott Loss, who plays a stand-up electric bass and is the first up-valley member.

Recently, some of the guys in the band have been

playing at Main Street’s Monday night jam session with Patrick Padgett and Bob Masters from Laughing Bones, so that’s a great place to check them out in the meantime.

Hardscrabble got together in the fall of 2008 playing for the Eagle County Alliance for Sustainability. Since then, they’ve composed a handful of original songs, but at a show, you can also expect to hear a wide range of covers – from folk classics like “Sittin’ on top of the World,” to off-genre tunes by The Dead, Sublime and Snoop Dog.

“We’ve been influenced by music from a variety of different genres, and that’s evident in our repertoire. We try to have fun up there and keep the audience engaged,” says band member Eric Lovgren. “There’s something for everyone at a Hardscrabble show.”

Their next show as a band will happen the last week-end of this month as benefit for Ducks Unlimited in Eagle-Vail. Then, look for them to play more up and down valley this fall.

Down valley string band closes out a fun summer

The local BMX bicycle race se-ries runs every Sunday afternoon until it’s too cold to ride, and that won’t happen this week.

Signups start at 12:30 p.m. Rac-ing follows as soon as everyone is signed up.

The track is in Eagle, next to the Eagle pool and ice rink.

Local BMX racers dedicated the new track a few weeks ago with a ribbon cutting and general fun hav-

ing. The town of Eagle donated the land and WECMRD is helping run the program. Local volunteers helped build it. You can do a one-race trial for free. A one-month membership to the American Bicycle Associa-tion costs $35; a year membership is $45.

You are required to wear full face helmet is required to race. That keeps you from getting your nose scuffed up if you crash, which race

organizers say hardly ever happens except to someone else. You also need to wear long sleeved shirts and long pants.

The American Bicycle Associa-tion is the largest BMX sanctioning body in the world right now.

For information call Mountain Pedlar in Eagle at 328-3478.

They’re also running starting gate practice at the BMX track, 6:30 p.m. Thursdays. It costs $3.

Wife of Armstrong’s former teammate talks to fedsAccording to a Los Angeles report Wednesday,

Lance Armstrong’s former teammate’s wife has spoken to a federal agent investigating the seven-time Tour de France winner and other cyclists.

Betsy Andreu, the wife of former Armstrong teammate Frankie Andreu, said she has talked with Food and Drug Administration agent Jeff Novitzky about Armstrong, but declined to discuss details. She said in a phone interview that her husband has also talked to the agent.

Novitzky did not give her any details about the investigation or who else had been contacted, she said. Other Armstrong teammates, including riders George Hincapie and Tyler Hamilton, have report-edly confirmed that they have been contacted by investigators, but they have also declined to give details.

Betsy Andreu has claimed that Armstrong ad-mitted to using performance-enhancing drugs in a hospital room in 1996 while battling cancer. The allegations have surfaced before, including in a lawsuit involving Tour winner and Armstrong critic Greg LeMond, who has said he turned over 70,000 pages of records in the case to investigators.

Armstrong vehemently denies doping, and he

and his attorneys note that the cyclist has never failed a drug test though he’s been tested hundreds of times. Armstrong has also denied Betsy An-dreu’s version of the hospital room discussion.

“This old, discredited story is being regurgitated by people trying to legitimize what is clearly a fishing expedition that is wasting millions in tax-payer money and misusing FDA resources,” said Armstrong attorney Mark Fabiani. “The hospital story was long ago proven to be fictional—by a sworn statement from Lance’s doctor, by hundreds of pages of medical records, and by the others in the room that day.”

Andreu said she expects the federal inquiry to show that she has been truthful about the incident.

“Lance pays his PR firm hundreds of thousands of dollars to promote himself and to smear those who speak the truth about him,” she said.

“I have something that they don’t have and that’s the truth,” she said. “And I am overly confident that will come about. It will show all along I have said nothing but the truth.”

Andreu’s contact with federal investigators was first reported Wednesday by the Los Angeles Times.

Azarenka frightens viewers at US Open

21-year-old Victoria Azarenka, who is on the rise in the world rankings, paused about a half-hour into her second-round match Wednesday at the U.S. Open, then dropped to a crouch and collapsed.

Azarenka, seeded 10th in the Grand Slam tournament, rolled over to rest her head on her arm, and a trainer rushed over. Someone covered Azarenka’s legs with a white towel. She eventually was helped into a wheelchair, her yellow vi-sor askew atop her head, then taken to a hospital, where tests showed she had a mild concussion.

As a record-breaking summer suf-focates New York, the temperature in Flushing Meadows headed into the ‘90s for a third consecutive day, and the mer-cury topped 100 degrees on court. But tournament referee Brian Early said Azarenka’s problem did “not seem to be primarily a heat-related illness.”

Indeed, Azarenka herself later revealed she fell in the gym while warming up

before the match, banging her head and arm in the gym.

“I was checked by the medical team before I went on court and they were courtside for monitoring. I felt worse as the match went on, having a headache and feeling dizzy,” said Azarenka, who is from Belarus but lives part of the year in Scottsdale, Ariz., with the family of NHL goalie Nikolai Khabibulin, some-one she considers a mentor.

Azarenka began wobbling early in her match against Gisela Dulko of Argenti-na, taking extra time between points and wincing occasionally.

She is an up-and-comer on tour, part of a group of young players seen as poten-tial future Grand Slam champions. Aza-renka beat Maria Sharapova in the final of a hard-court tournament in California last month and pushed Serena Williams to three sets before losing in the Austra-lian Open quarterfinals in January.

BONJOUR, MY NAME IS LUCY and I’m looking for a new family to adopt me. I’m a 4 year old Dogue de Bordeaux which is just a fancy name for French Mastiff. I was rescued with my sister Ethel who is also looking for a home. My ancestors came from the south of France called Bordeaux, you know, like the red wine. Even though I’m French I don’t drink wine, but I don’t mind if you do. My cousins are the Neapolitan Mastiff and there are several theories out there on how our breed came about such as from the Tibetan, English or Bullmastiff. My ancestors were used for hunting, a herding dog and a guardian. They also protected homes, butcher shops and the vineyards of their masters. Back during World War ll there was a very bad man named Adolf Hilter who tried to execute all of my Dogue de Bordeaux ancestors because of their devout loyalty to their owners. If I would’ve ever seen him I would have bitten off his you know what’s, excuse my language. I will be coming up to the Vail Valley this weekend to Octoberfest in Beaver Creek with some of my other dog friends if you would like to meet me, just look for the National Mill Dog Rescue tent. For more information on me you can also go to; www.milldogrescue.org <http://www.milldogrescue.org/> or call my new foster mommy, Holly at (970) 949-0922. Au revoir! Lucy

once,” says Vlaar.For local jazz aficionados, tonight’s

show will be one more Thursday eve-ning spent in Vail Square, as the Vail Jazz Festival has been putting on regu-lar shows there at that time all summer. Last Thursday, we enjoyed the smooth sounds of vocalist-saxophonist-song-writer Curtis Singers. Tonight, it will be the Clayton Brothers Quintet, lead by John Clayton on bass and Jeff Clayton on saxophone.

The Clayton Brothers will be joined by Bill Cunliffe on piano, Terell Stafford on trumpet and Lewis Nash on drums. The highly acclaimed musicians also serve as the educators/mentors for 12 of the most talented high school-aged jazz musicians

in the country who have been selected to participate in the Vail Jazz Workshop, an intense learning experience that’s been going on for the last 10 days. It will cul-minate tonight with the students, the Vail Jazz All-Stars, performing on the Vail Jazz Festival stage.

Some other confirmed artists for the Labor Day Weekend Jazz Party in-clude vocalist Ann Hampton Callaway, who will present a special salute to Ella Fitzgerald, and Grammy winning ar-ranger and pianist Bill Cunliffe, who will present a tribute to Oscar Peterson.

Vlaar is especially excited about Cal-laway’s performance.

“This will be an absolute premiere, she’s put it together especially for this

festival,” said Vlaar. “It’s a retrospective about the life of Fitzgerald that she’s gotten very involved in … She’s very passionate about this tribute.”

Vince Herman said in an interview with the Mountain-eer. “Americana is a pretty wide-ranging musical area, and we’d like to take it even wider.”

Vince Herman is also known for his nearly two de-cades as the front man for Leftover Salmon. These days, his primary focus is on Taxi, which plays coast-to-coast more than 130 gigs per year. Salmon continues to play “reunion” shows – about five or six per year at big venues like Red Rocks last weekend and The Tel-luride Bluegrass Festival earlier this summer.

The band had a great summer of festivals, one of which was the Realm/Campout for the Cause festival at Rancho Del Rio on the Fourth of July. They’re excit-ed to get back up to the Vail Valley, keyboardist Chad Staehly said yesterday.

“We had a blast at Realm, and we were psyched to see the new location (in Eagle County) do so well. That’s a really cool thing those folks are doing with the charity organization,” Staehly said.

‘Reckless Habits’Great American Taxi has been compared to roots

rockers like the New Riders of the Purple Sage, Grate-ful Dead, The Byrds and Little Feat.

“We’re definitely connected to all the acts in the country/rock spectrum, as well as the spirit of Gram Parsons and Woody Guthrie,” Herman says. “We want to address the issues appropriate to our times, while making music that gets people up and moving.”

While Great American Taxi’s most recent album “Reckless Habits,” is an eclectic mix of jam, gospel, bluegrass, Cajun and rock ‘n’ roll, the songs have two things in common.

“It’s all fun dance music, along with lyrics that tell a story,” Herman said. “There are a couple tunes about

mountaintop removal – this really nasty mining pro-cess they do in Appalachia. The opening tune is about taking a ride on a riverboat and heading down to New Orleans. And the second song is about the state of the economy and how (messed) up things are. We try and be relevant and topical.”

Reckless Habits reached No. 12 on the Americana airplay chart and has landed in the top-10 on the Colo-rado airplay charts since its release.

Herman, Staehly, electric guitarist Jim Lewin, bass-ist Edwin Hurwitz and drummer Chris Sheldon spent a couple weeks at Backbone Studio in Loveland, Colo, with producer Tim Carbone of Railroad Earth working together to bring the feel of an on-stage performance to the recording process.

The band did what you generally don’t do in the stu-dio, that is improvise, which was intended to capture the sound and energy of a live performance.

Great American Taxi will be back in the studio in Nashville later this month to record a Jerry Jeff Walker tribute album with singer/songwriter Todd Snider, pro-duced by Don Was.

Tonight’s showAt their live shows, the band is likely to invite the au-

dience on-stage for impromptu jams and sing-alongs. “When strangers join in to sing and play, you don’t

know what’s going to happen,” Herman said. “I’ve been touring around Colorado for over twenty years. The crowds always seem ready to let loose. They are energetic, adrenalin-d up and ready to get to it on the dance floor, which is definitely something we can work with.”

Doors at Samana open at 8 p.m. Tickets are $7 with $2 pints and wells from 10 to 11 p.m.

I-70 Mountain Corridor as well as for in-terstate travel, while taking into account environmental sensitivity, community values, transportation safety and the ability to implement the proposed solu-tions for the corridor.”

The preferred alternative in the new PEIS report is primarily an AGS be-tween Colorado route 470 and Eagle County Airport. This PEIS does not plan for connectivity to the Denver Interna-tional Airport, Halstead explained, be-cause it is outside of the planning area. But that does not mean that cannot be planned in the future, Halstead added. She said it will be up to future planners if the Denver RTD system, an extension or some other development would be used to connect DIA to the proposed AGS starting point. The preferred alternative

includes highway improvements as well, that would include additional lanes in some areas, and potentially new tunnels in places like Dowd Junction.

The preferred alternative actually has two options in itself, one is the minimum option, which sets out 22 interchanges along the corridor for improvement. Un-der the maximum option, improvement is much broader and a larger number of project would be developed.

The new PEIS analyses a number of resources along the corridor, from cli-mate and air quality to geologic hazards. Social and economic values, as well as historic and Native American issues are also examined.

An example of how those resources were analysed is the projection for how much each project would result in habi-

tat loss. The preferred alternative is esti-mated to result in 200 acres of loss with the minimum option, and more than 250 with the maximum. This is compared to a traditional rail line, which also has an estimated 200 acre loss. The six lane highway plan or reversible high occu-pancy vehicle (HOV) lanes are estimat-ed to create 225 acres of loss.

The PEIS projects the cost in 2010 and 2025 dollar values. For the preferred al-ternative with the minimum option, the estimated cost in 2010 dollars is $8 bil-lion, or $16B 2025. The maximum op-tion would be $12 billion, or $20B in 2025. The highway expansion plans and reversible HOV lanes are estimated to cost $4 billion in 2010 dollars or $6 bil-lion in 2025 dollars.

Halstead said building the preferred

alternative would require innovative funding sources and most likely will be done incrementally.

Eagle County Commissioner Peter Runyon represented Eagle County in the I-70 coalition and the process to find a consensus. He was impressed by the planing process, and supports the AGS solution.

“It represents a new era of co-operation between local governments and CDOT,” Runyon said.

The PEIS will be available online and at the town of Vail library, Avon library, CDOT’s satellite office in Eagle and Gypsum’s public library.

taken by illegals.”Alexander says these people aren’t just

loosing their jobs to illegal immigrants, but their housing, as well. She says il-legal immigrants are definitely living at Riverview and there’s nothing we can do to stop it right now.

“HUD says illegal aliens applying for housing at Riverview don’t have to pro-vide a social security number or any of the things the other citizens provide be-cause they’re not citizens,” says Alexan-der. “But by HUD stating that, they’re in violation of fair housing because they re-

quire legally eligible citizens to provide more information than illegals.”

Alexander says the only thing she could do to stop the current situation would be to ask our senators and con-gressmen to try to have the federal stat-utes changed.

“That is what I would do as commis-sioner,” she said.

Alexander will be one of a handful of current Republican candidates and their representatives appearing tonight at Ad-am’s Mountain Country Club in Gypsum from 4-7 p.m.
