THE UPDATE

A local utility company’s board elec-tion could determine how far and how fast the company moves toward alterna-tive energy.

Ballots for the Holy Cross Energy elec-tion hit mailboxes around Eagle County,

asking members to vote for board mem-bers, and whether members want to re-district.

In the southern district, Dave Munk is running against Bob Stardoj.

In the northern district, it’s a three-way race between Mike Glass, Erik Lun-dquist and Bill Maxwell.

Holy Cross Energy was founded in

1939. It’s a member-owned, not-for-profit electric cooperative utility provid-ing electricity, energy products and ser-vices to more than 55,000 consumers in Eagle, Pitkin and Garfield counties.

“Holy Cross was providing rebates and incentives for energy efficiency and re-newable power way before it was cool,” writes Matt Scherr, director of the Eagle

Valley Alliance for Sustainability.Holy Cross Energy is a co-op. If

you’re a customer, you’re also among its owners and you receive equity payments every year.

That also means you get to vote in its board of directors elections.

Ballots are due back by June 4. Not

Travelers experiencing frugality fatigue?Summer tourism tracker: 2010 looks ‘Sorta better … maybe’

Consumers are beginning to experi-ence frugality fatigue and may be ready to travel and spend, says an economist who watches the travel industry.

Ralf Garrison runs the Mountain Trav-

el Research Program, and keeps an eye on the travel industry in general, and Vail in particular.

After two years of recession, they’re getting tired of being told what they can-not do.

“People are tiring of cutting back on so much,” he said.

Locals hope that means brisk summer business. Garrison called the Valley’s overall market conditions, “Sorta bet-ter… maybe.”

The summer market is more favorable than last year, which is faint praise, Gar-rison said, and the prospects for recov-

In less than two weeks we’ll know if the Vail Valley will host the biggest event in skiing in 2015.

For the better part of the past two years, the Bea-ver Creek/Vail 2015 Bid Committee, comprised of key officials of the Vail Valley Foundation, Vail Resorts and the U.S. Ski and Snowboard As-sociation, have been lobbying international ski-ing representatives in an effort to return the FIS World Alpine Ski Championships to the United States.

Now, with a little less than two weeks remain-ing until the final vote, which is scheduled for Thursday, June 3, at the FIS Congress in Antalya, Turkey, the Beaver Creek/Vail 2015 delegation is making final preparations that they hope will result in victory.

“We feel very confident in our strategy and

13-year old climbs Mount Everest

The youngest climber to reach the peak of Mount Everest hugged his tear-ful companions and told them he loved them. Then 13-year-old Jordan Romero

took the satellite phone and called his mom.

“He says, ‘Mom, I’m calling you from the top of the world,’” a giddy Leigh Anne Drake told reporters from Califor-nia, where she had been watching her son’s prog-

ress minute by minute on a GPS tracker.With yesterday’s success on the

world’s highest mountain, at 29,035 feet above sea level, Jordan is just one climb from his quest to reach the highest peaks on all seven continents.

The teenager who climbed Mount Kil-imanjaro in Africa when he was 9 years old says he was inspired by a painting in his school hallway of the seven conti-nents’ highest summits.

“Every step I take is finally toward the biggest goal of my life, to stand on top of the world,” Jordan said earlier on his blog. Before him, the youngest climber to scale Everest had been Temba Tsheri of Nepal, who reached the peak at age 16.

The Greeks invented philosophy, democracy and beer, all of which tend to attract people with time on their hands.

In Washington, D.C., our elected representatives spent some spare time and a bit of the democratic process this week honoring beer, a philosophy that Founding Father Benjamin Franklin would have adored. Franklin wrote, “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.”

Our question: With the trillions we’re now going to spend bailing out Greece, as well as ourselves, are they going to at least buy us a beer?

The Greeks did not invent credit card debt, but have perfected it. It’s the best thing since they put the pocket in pita. But now they’re having temper tantrums because their allow-ance is being cut.

Like lots of people who throw themselves on the floor and scream, they pretty much got their way. Now they’re sitting on a beach, sipping Ouzo and getting a tan, and are re-ally grateful to the rest of us for picking up their bar tab.

Meanwhile, the German government has its lederhosen in a twist and came kicking and screaming into the Grecian Earn plot, partly because Germany doesn’t have the money. Even if they did, they wouldn’t spend it on a fixer-upper like Greece. And besides, no one offered to throw in Poland as a player to be named later.

Meanwhile, back at Reality Ranch, Colorado’s Rep. Betsy Markey sponsored House Resolution 1297, supporting the goals and ideals of American Craft Beer Week.

“We wanted to celebrate entrepreneurship, and good beer!” Markey said.

So, America, raise a glass to our intergalactic bar

tab. This may be the last round we can afford.

Pistol Packin’ RepublicansColorado’s political junkies are holding their state

conventions, each proclaiming that if the faithful do not follow their party’s leaders blindly and without question, we cannot possibly enjoy true freedom.

Go ahead and wage your battles with swords and the mightier pens. The Republicans are packing heat.

Our buddy Buddy told us about this one.Republicans meet in Loveland’s Budweis-

er Events Center. The Bud Center Bunch proclaimed that all firearms would be banned from their facility, including those packed by concealed carry permit holders.

The Rocky Mountain Gun Owners were having none of it. They took up the matter with the Bud Center Bunch, who insisted that all God-fearing, flag-waving, gun-own-ing Republicans were like Yosemite Sam and would fire firearms into their nice new ceiling when they got worked up about Joe Biden’s hair plugs.

Coloradans are pistol-packin’ people and the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners pointed out that every brick in the Budweiser Events Center was purchased with the hard-earned

tax dollars of law abiding citizens of the Centennial State, and state law allows them to carry a Ruger in their boot if they’re licensed.

A Larimer County commissioner offered to crack open a can of Wild West Whup-ass on the Bud Cen-ter Bunch, and before you can say “Load this for me, will ya?” The Bud Center Bunch realized that they were not above the law.

So Coloradans, if you’re playing politics this weekend, you’d better be packin’.

Michael Maher’s gunshot wound was self-inflicted, the sheriff’s of-fice has determined.

On Friday Maher, a participant in the local jail work release program, called the jail and reported that he had been shot in Wolcott. Sheriff’s deputies then caught up with Maher at an Avon parking lot, where they found him shot in the stomach. He was transported to Vail Valley Med-ical Center.

At this time Maher’s motive for the shooting is unknown. Maher had an advanced first aid kit in his vehicle at the time of the incident.

The Work Release program, which Maher participated in, was

developed jointly with the courts to be an alternative to incarceration. The program al-lows sentenced individuals who meet specific cri-teria to serve time while maintain-ing employment. Eligibility for the

program is dependent on recom-mendation from the inmate’s sen-

tencing court, a review of his or her criminal history, and thorough med-ical and psychological examina-tions. Those placed in the program must pay a per diem rate. Work Release fees are applied to the in-mate’s court costs or fines first, and then may go to the county’s general inmate fund.

Maher was serving time at the Eagle County Detention Facility for a DUI he received, which was a probation violation for a sexual as-sault charge. As of yesterday Eagle County Sheriff’s deputies were ex-pected to file charges shortly.

Live Entertainment on Thursday

When the crew played together in late 2009, they were Hustle’s Ben Koelker and Pete Haugh, alongside Frogs Gone Fishin’s Andrew Portwood and Dave Do-nahue of Laughing Bones.

The show went so well that they’ve decided to make it a regular thing, taking breaks here and there but go-ing by the name Stereo Assassins when they were play-ing together. The Frogs recently went on tour around the country, which put the Assassins on hiatus for a while, but now they’re back and playing a show at Paddy’s Pub in Eagle-Vail tonight.

They’ll be going by the original line-up with Pete Haugh on drums, Ben Koelker on guitar and vocals, Dave Donahue playing bass, Trevor Jones (also of

Frogs) on keyboards and vocals, and Andrew Portwood on guitar and vocals.

Portwood says the Stereo As-sassins play their own brand of aerobic funk. “We blend rhythm and soul with jam and groove and keep you moving until you’re in a full body freak out. This is a great group of funky musicians, and we bring the party,” he said.

Check them out tonight at Paddy’s in Eagle-Vail starting at 9 p.m.

For example:


The 2010 Olympics in Vancouver produced count-less heroes, highlights and human stories and Universal Sports is taking a unique look at many of them in Vi-sions of Vancouver, a documentary premiering on Uni-versal Sports network tomorrow at 7 p.m ET.

The show will feature Olympic medalists Lindsey Vonn of Vail, along with Shaun White, Jeret ‘Speedy’ Peterson, Bode Miller and Billy Demong.

The two-hour original production will be narrated by Matt Lauer, host of NBC’s ‘Today’ show, and will air exactly 100 days after the Opening Ceremony in Vancouver.

“There are so many memorable athletes and terrific stories that came out of the Vancouver Games that this show was a natural extension for us,” said Universal Sports Executive Producer David Michaels. “The hardest part of putting it together was deciding which great stories to tell in more depth.”

Visions of Vancouver will also highlight Vonn’s jour-ney to reach her one unattained career goal - a gold medal, Miller’s unbelievable return to the Games in which he went on to win three medals, an epic race to the finish that marked Demong as the first U.S. athlete in his sport to earn a gold medal, Peterson’s rise against the odds to land a virtually unlandable maneuver for the silver medal, and White’s extraordinary McTwist dou-ble cork 12 to garner him back-to-back gold medals.

Other memorable stories, including Apolo Ohno’s quest to become the most decorated Winter Olympian in

U.S. history, Canadian figure skater Joannie Rochette’s emotional performance just two days after her mother unexpectedly died in Vancouver, and freestyle skier Al-exandre Bilodeau’s victory, earning him the first gold medal ever won by a Canadian on home soil.

The documentary also examines the love story of Chinese pairs figure skating gold medalists Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo, the pioneering achievements of American speed skater Shani Davis, and the un-forgettable disqualification of Dutch speed skating star Sven Kramer.

Now playing in the Vail Valley ... After the success of the first three films in the Shrek series, a fourth entry appears with more ad-ventures of Shrek, Fiona, Donkey, and Puss in Boots. But in addition to all the laughs the first three films have brought, “Shrek Forever After” features a whole new element in the series: 3-D animation.


A little more than one week remains to get $50 off your team entry fee for the Swift Eagle Charitable Foundation’s La Bella Festa Bocce Tournament.

The third annual tournament is scheduled for Sunday, June 27, starting at noon at the Eagle-Vail Pavilion.

Teams of four will compete for cash prizes, and there will be an Italian dinner, silent auction, costume con-test, and musical entertainment. Swift Eagle will pro-vide all bocce equipment and no experience is neces-sary.

The team entry fee for the event is $250 before June 1 and $300 after June 1. Pre-registration is required and all entries are due by June 23.

Swift Eagle was founded in 2004 by a group of longtime locals committed to helping people in Eagle County. The inspiration came from David Haakenson, a valley resident since 1970. He had a dream about starting a charitable foundation with the name of Swift Eagle. Coincidentally, his lifelong friend, Phil Jackson, was given this name by the Lakota Indians of South Dakota. Phil, renowned coach of the LA Lakers and a believer in the karma of dreams, volunteered to be the honorary chairman of the organization and has visited the valley twice for the group’s “An Evening With Phil Jackson” fundraiser.

Swift Eagle is dedicated to swiftly helping Eagle County residents with living and personal expenses

during times of crisis or hardship. It is unique as a grass-roots, all volunteer organization, allowing 100 percent of donations to go to those in need. Since its inception and especially in response to the current dif-ficult economic times, the group has tripled the number of people it has helped.

Sponsorships opportunities are available at varying levels. For more information contact Ginny Snowdon, 970-949-5279, [email protected].

NEWS

Calling all local summer athletes – summer applications for funding from the Vail Valley Athlete Com-mission are due by June 16.

To be considered for funding, a competitor must be a minimum of 15 years of age; participate in in-ternational competition outside of North America; be a resident of the Vail Valley for a minimum of three years and apply as an individual, rather than a team. Funds will be distributed in early July.

“It’s obviously big news when a local athlete like Lindsey Vonn wins medals at the Olympics,” explained Ceil Folz, president of the Vail Val-ley Foundation, “but we often for-get the hours of training and dedi-cation that it took to get her to the top step of the podium. Since the

Athlete Commission was created in 1997, the funds that we have been able to distribute have truly made a difference for many of our Vail Val-ley athletes and provided them with the opportunity to accomplish their own goals.”

Conceived by local resident Pepi Gramshammer and supported by the Vail Valley Foundation, Vail Resorts, the Town of Vail and the Beaver Creek Resort Company, the Vail Valley Athlete Commission is dedicated to providing financial support for individuals competing in an international arena.

In addition to Vonn, the Ath-lete Commission has also pro-vided funding to numerous local athletes, including Toby Dawson, Chad Fleischer, Sarah Schleper,

Stacia Hookum, Chris Doyle and Mike Kloser. Last summer’s reci-pents included Josiah Middaugh, Gretchen Reeves, Henry Reed and Jay Henry.

Summer Athlete Commission ap-plications may be downloaded from the Foundation web site at www.vvf.org by clicking on the “About the Foundation” link, going to the “What’s In Print” button and click-ing on “Forms & Applications”. Forms may also be picked up at the Vail Valley Foundation offices in Avon. All forms should be submit-ted to the Foundation at P.O. Box 309, Vail, Co. 81658, to the atten-tion of Jennifer Mason, Director of Operations. For additional infor-mation, contact the Foundation at 949-1999.

plane crash that occurred when a jet overshot a runway in southern India yesterday.

The jet burst into flames after skidding into a ravine, officials said.

Eight of the 166 people on board Air India Flight IX-812 survived the crash and were taken to hospitals, where most were in good condition, CNN-IBN reported.

“Ummerfarook Mohammed said the cabin quickly filled with smoke after the jet skidded off the runway and hit a boundary wall. The impact created a hole in the plane’s body, he said, through which he crawled out and ran for his life,” according to the CNN report. “Nearby villagers carted him in a rickshaw to a hospital.”

Eight bodies had yet to be recovered as of last night, the civil aviation ministry reported.

Insurgents attack NATO’s southern Afghan base

The Taliban claimed responsibility early today for a nighttime assault on NATO’s biggest base in southern Afghanistan. Insurgents firing rockets, mortars and au-tomatic weapons tried to storm Kandahar Air Field — the second such attack on a major military installation this week.

Several coalition troops and civilian employees were wounded in the assault Saturday night, but there were no reports of deaths, officials said.

A Canadian Press news agency report from Kandahar said artillery and machine gun fire reverberated through the base, about 300 miles (500 kilometers) southwest of Kabul, several hours after the attack began. Militants unleashed rockets and mortars about 8 p.m. and then tried unsuccessfully to storm the northern perimeter, officials said.

Taliban spokesman Qari Yousef Ahmadi told the re-porters that its fighters attacked the base from two sides and fired more than 15 rockets.

It was the third major attack on NATO forces in Af-ghanistan in six days.

Mothers of hikers jailed in Iran return to states

The mothers of three Americans jailed in Iran re-turned to the United States on Saturday, pained to leave their children behind yet heartened to find they’re be-ing treated well and are “in reasonable health.”

At a brief news conference at John F. Kennedy In-ternational Airport shortly after they returned to New York, Cindy Hickey thanked the Iranians for allowing the women to see the three and said they were disap-pointed they could not return with their children.

“The pain is almost more than we can bear,” Hickey

said, but “we will forever savor the precious moments we were able to spend with our children.”

She said that the mothers “hope and pray that the Iranian authorities will now find it in their hearts to resolve our children’s case and release them without further delay.”

A.I.G. execs off the hook in criminal probe

The U.S. Justice Department has dropped a probe of American International Group Inc executives involv-ing the credit default swaps that sent the insurer to the brink of bankruptcy and forced a huge taxpayer bail-out, Reuters is reporting.

“The investigation had centered on AIG Financial Products, which nearly brought down the giant insurer after writing tens of billions of dollars on insurance-like contracts on complex securities backed by mortgages that turned out to be toxic,” according to the Reuters report. “The criminal probe had focused on whether Jo-seph Cassano, who ran the financial products unit, and Andrew Forster, his deputy, knowingly misled inves-tors about the company’s accounting losses on its credit default swaps portfolio.”

In 2008, the U.S. government bailed out A.I.G to the tune of $182 billion dollars when the company said a bankruptcy filing was imminent.

“Although a 2-year, intense investigation is tough for anyone, the results are wholly appropriate in light of our client’s factual innocence,” F. Joseph Warin and Jim Walden, Cassano’s lawyers, said in a statement.

“We were very pleased but not surprised to hear from the DOJ late yesterday that they were dropping the criminal investigation of our client,” David Brod-sky, one of Forster’s lawyers, said in a statement. “In the end, the facts were stronger than the emotions sur-rounding AIG’s problems.”

Burton and his film jury judging Cannes lineup

Tim Burton and a jury of his peers in the world of cinema have a tough task ahead: sorting through a mixed bag of 19 entries competing for top honors at the Cannes Film Festival.

Burton heads the nine-member jury that was busy yes-terday watching the last of the films competing for the Palme d’Or, the main prize at the world’s most presti-gious cinema showcase. The festival ends tonight with a ceremony to announce winners selected by director Burton and his jury — which includes actors Kate Beck-insale, Benicio Del Toro and Giovanna Mezzogiorno.

Landis shows face at Tour of California

Disgraced cyclist Floyd Landis, who recently admit-ted to years of doping and fingered Lance Armstrong in the process, looked on Michael Rogers of Australia finished second in the Stage 7 time trial at the Tour of California Saturday to retain the overall lead heading into the final leg.

Landis passed time in a sponsor’s tent Saturday. He didn’t speak to waiting reporters and sat with his back to the course much of the time he was in the tent of Dr. Brent Kay, his longtime sponsor.

Landis won the Tour of California in 2006, but his Bahati Foundation team wasn’t invited to ride this year.

Earlier this week, Landis accused Armstrong of dop-ing, teaching other riders to cheat and paying off a top cycling official after allegedly testing positive in 2002.

Armstrong has denied the allegations. He released e-mails on Friday trying to prove Landis has “zero cred-ibility.” In one of the e-mails, Kay pleaded with Landis

to avoid a public fight with Armstrong and suggested he ride on the seven-time Tour de France winner’s team.

Kay said Saturday he was “very much” surprised the e-mails became public. He reasserted his support of Landis, saying he believes the rider’s allegations of doping by other cyclists.

When asked why, he replied, “I just do.”Kay declined comment when asked if Armstrong had

contacted him or threatened him.Tony Martin of Germany and HTC-Columbia won

the seventh stage, a 21-mile individual time trial, in 41 minutes, 41 seconds. Teammate Rogers retained the overall lead by 9 seconds heading into Sunday’s finale on a hilly circuit course in the Ventura County city of Thousand Oaks, California.

American David Zabriskie of Garmin-Transitions, third in the time trial, is 0.09 seconds behind in sec-ond, followed by three-time defending champion Levi Leipheimer of RadioShack, who is 0.25 behind.

Aussie Michael Rogers retains overall lead

16-year-old in seventh heading into Nelson final

Just last week Jordan Spieth com-peted and won his high school state tournament. This week he has a chance to win on the PGA Tour.

He continued to defy the expec-tations of everyone but himself, shooting a 3-under 67 Saturday to move into contention going into the final round of the Byron Nelson Championship.

Spieth, the reigning U.S. Junior Amateur Champion, is tied for sev-enth, six shots behind leader Jason Day and seems to be bringing some

much-needed excitement into an event that is fast fading in popularity.

“I know the pins are going to be the toughest pins I’ve ever experi-enced in my life, but I’m confident,” said the 16-year-old junior in high school, “I’m going to start firing be-cause I got nothing to lose, nothing to hold back.”

Day, who is just 22, shot a 3-un-der 67 Saturday to pull into the lead by himself. He was part of a seven-way tie after the first round, then was a stroke behind after the second round. A win would be the first of his promising career. Second round co-leader Blake Adams shot even-par 70 and is two strokes back.

HOROSCOPES FOR SUNDAY, MAY 23, 2010


ery are positive, but Garrison is an economist and his job is to say, “but …”

Oil/fuel and the U.S. currency are all favorable to do-mestic travel, and that helps.

“Consumers are no longer in shock, but they’re still thrifty,” Garrison said.

The economy is “evolving to recovery,” but travelers are still cautious, Garrison said.

That attitude will roll from winter right into the sum-mer season, he added.

We’re a price conscious bunch of consumers. Last winter, the average daily hotel rate paid by those travel-ers was off 5 percent, from $384 to $363 per night, as lodges cut prices to attract those price-conscious trav-elers.

More skiers, less spendingIt worked, sort of. Hotel occupancy was up 14 per-

cent for the season, Garrison said. But that increased number of visitors spent less money.

“The trend does not bode well for businesses nor the town of Vail should it continue for the next few years,” says this week’s report from the Vail Homeowners As-sociation.

The local economy should grow at a rate of 1 percent to 2 percent annually, less than the rate of inflation, the Vail Homeowners Association report says.

Vail merchants estimate a 20 percent overall decline in sales from the 2008 market high, according to a Uni-versity of Denver study.

The town is down 18.7 percent in sales tax revenue from the high in 2008, the DU study says.

It is picking up, though. Vail was up 6.7 percent in March, over last March, and up 1.2 percent for the year

to date, according to the town’s sales tax report.

Summer ideasWhich brings us back to summer business.Vail paid marketing consultant James Chung $65,000

to give some direction to helping the town expand its economy beyond skiing and real estate.

Chung zeroed in on fitness and wellness, saying Boomers are willing to spend money on it, when they’re cutting back on everything else.

“Last year was the consumer meltdown year,” Chung said. “In only one category did consumer spend more – outdoors and fitness.”

Boomers are remaining more active, and are spend-ing money on their activities.

The object is to give more of those people more rea-sons to spend more days in Vail, Chung said.

Chung said he would launch around 10 fitness-ori-ented events this summer. They’ll grow the program from there in 2011, he said.

“It creates an opportunity to swipe market share, if Vail establishes itself as the leader before other resorts recognize these fundamental shifts are underway,” Chung said. “Fitness and wellness are replacing luxury as the new marker of wealth.”

Boomers are reaching their peak years to exit skiing, Chung said. There are not as many skiers coming in, and their incomes are not as high when adjusted for inflation.

“We’ve probably seen the end of a rapidly growing ski market,” Chung said. “Growth can still happen, but it becomes more difficult to squeeze growth out of the industry.”

campaign,” explained Ceil Folz, president of the Vail Valley Founda-tion and co-chairperson of the Bea-ver Creek/Vail 2105 Bid Commit-tee. “We are obviously in the home stretch now and all three horses are running neck and neck. Over the course of the coming days, we’ll do everything in our power to bring the Championships home.”

The Vail Valley is vying for the right to host the Alpine World Cham-pionships with St. Moritz, Switzer-land and Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy. All three sites were candidates for the 2013 Championships that were awarded to Schladming, Austria at the 2008 FIS Congress.

The Alpine Championships have not revisited the U.S. since Vail and Beaver Creek played host to the 1999 event.

“Counting the upcoming World Championships in 2011 and 2013,” Folz added, “the past seven Cham-

pionships will have been contested in Europe. We believe that it is time for the premier event in skiing to re-turn to our side of the globe.”

Along with Folz, the Beaver Creek/Vail 2015 delegation to the FIS Congress will include John Garnsey, Co-President of Vail Re-sorts’ Mountain Division; Bjorn Erik Borgen, VVF board member and owner of Kvitfjell Ski Resort in Norway; Jim Roberts, Vice Presi-dent of Mountain Operations for Beaver Creek; Greg Johnson, Di-rector of Beaver Creek Mountain Operations; current Swedish World Cup racer Patrik Jaerbyn; Pepi and Sheika Gramshammer and addi-tional Vail Valley Foundation staff support.

The first piece of the Beaver Creek/Vail contingent is scheduled to land in Turkey tomorrow morn-ing as the exhibition booth is al-ready in route. The human element

of the Congress presence is slated to begin departing on Thursday.

In addition to the three days of operating the booth, the Beaver Creek/Vail Bid Committee will also make official presentations to the FIS Council and the Alpine Com-mittee.

The June 3 vote will be taken by the 16 members of the FIS Council, with an absolute majority required to win the Championships. The announcement of the results of the voting will come around 7:30 p.m. in Turkey, 11:30 a.m. in the Vail Valley.

Beaver Creek/Vail 2015 fans can follow the action from Turkey by checking out the daily blogs, photos and videos on the Vail Valley Foun-dation web site, www.vvf.org. The web site will also feature video of the Thursday announcement of the host site for the 2015 World Alpine Ski Championships.

postmarked, but in the hands of the Holy Cross office staff by June 4.

If you have an over-developed sense of involvement, you can vote in person June 5 at the annual board meet-ing in Glenwood Springs.

Northern District Candidates:Bill Maxwell, Northern District: I have over 35 years

experience in the telecommunications, automotive, ma-rine and materials handling industries which included 10 years based in South America. I have served on the boards of directors of both public and private compa-nies, along with being principally a chief executive of-ficer or chief operating officer for 20 years. Since my retirement here in 1999, I have been active in my com-munity serving on the board of directors of Arrowhead Metropolitan District for six years and have recently been elected to an additional four year term. I am an Alternate Director of Upper Eagle Regional Water Au-thority.

Erik Lundquist, Northern District: I have lived and worked in the Vail and Roaring Fork valleys for nearly 11 years. My professional background is in mechani-cal, plumbing and electrical engineering with a strong background in energy efficient design. My professional credentials include professional engineer, certified geo-exchange designer with the Association of Energy En-gineers, high-performance building design professional with the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating & Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), Building En-ergy Modeling Professional with ASHRAE, and LEED accredited professional – Building Design & Construc-tion with the Green Building Certification Institute.

Michael Glass, Northern District: I grew up in Long-mont, earned my Bachelor’s Degree from Adams State College in Alamosa and earned my MBA from Regis University in Denver. I have been with Alpine Bank for 13 years and am currently the President of Alpine Bank

Vail and a leader on the bank’s award-winning Green Team. While on Holy Cross Energy’s board, I have earned my Credentialed Cooperative Director certifica-tion through state and national classes. Additionally, I have served as Treasurer of Holy Cross and am cur-rently the representative for CREA, Colorado’s electric cooperative trade association.

Southern District Candidates:Dave Munk, Southern District: I am a 26 year valley

resident living in Eagle County with my wife Stephanie and two young children. I have worked with utilities of all sizes from around the country to design and imple-ment successful energy and water efficiency programs for the past 15 years. Previously, I worked in publish-ing and as a ski instructor (of course!), still teaching periodically. Stephanie is a third-generation Glenwood Springs native whose family has been active in banking and construction. I am a confident optimist who values our history, individual choice, and the importance of managing costs.

Robert Starodoj, Southern District: I helped secure Holy Cross Energy’s support of the Community Office for Resource Efficiency (C.O.R.E.) concept. The WE CARE Program (energy conservation/efficiency mea-sures) has created awareness and positive benefits for Holy Cross customers. Holy Cross Energy currently allocates 2 percent of annual operating revenues (ap-proximately $2.2 million in 2010) for renewable en-ergy generation and energy conservation/efficiency measures. We have incorporated a reserve fund, better and stronger emission standards, more incentives for conservation and efficiency, and a focus on sustainable green alternatives are the direction I would like to see us move in. If we can convince our customers of the importance of conservation and renewable energy al-ternatives we will be successful in achieving our car-bon energy targets.
