Eagle resident Matt Spencer said he is excited and inspired by his new opportunity as the next chief executive officer of the Colorado Mountain College Foundation.

“Matt is the right person to

aggressive and will bring new ideas to the foundation.”

Spencer starts July 12 at the college’s foundation, replacing retiring CEO Alexandra Yajko. He was selected for the position following a nationwide search.

In his new position, he will head up the college’s fund-rais-ing affiliate. The CMC Founda-tion administers approximately 90 privately funded scholarships

and provides fund-raising sup-port for capital and other proj-ects of the college. To date, the foundation has raised more than $34 million to assist the college and its students.

Spencer has served three and

a half years as the director and then vice president of member-ship and development at the Vail Valley Foundation, where he supervised a staff of six. The well-respected foundation sup-ports educational, athletic and cultural endeavors.

Spencer said his outreach at Colorado Mountain College will focus on letting others know that the college is a resource for all community members. Not only does the comprehensive community college award oc-cupational certificates and asso-ciate degrees, it also offers adult basic education, lifelong learn-ing and customized business training. The college prepares Colorado’s workforce through apprenticeships, internships and experiential learning, and works with local school districts to of-fer concurrent enrollment for high school students.

Bicycling on more than 20,000 acres

Dear Editor,I appreciate your continued coverage of the impor-

tant landscapes and policy questions in the Hidden Gems Wilderness Proposal.

In Eagle and Summit Counties, Hidden Gems rep-resentatives have met extensively with knowledgeable advocates for motorized travel, for bicycling, and for other public lands recreation for almost two years.

With the help of their expertise and advice, we ad-justed the original Hidden Gems Wilderness Proposal so that the final proposal accommodates existing and future bicycling on over 20,000 acres of public land. We removed nearly 40,000 acres of land for snow-mobiling. We have also resolved issues with hunting guides, climbers and hang gliders, among others, so that their activities will be minimally affected by the

Hidden Gems.Wilderness protection is about much more than rec-

reation. It is about protecting our precious, unique envi-ronment from the kind of degradation that occurs with all types of human activity, including mining, logging, road building, and certain recreational activities.

Wilderness designation puts some limits on motors and wheels, but it is important to do that for the most wild and ecologically important areas of our backcountry.

The Hidden Gems contain high-quality habitat and shelter important water resources. They are truly our most valued landscapes. By protecting them with wil-derness designation, we are building on our communi-ty’s longstanding legacy of environmental stewardship and ensuring that future generations will find the wild and colorful Colorado that sparks our curiosity and imagination today.

Thank you again.Steve Smith, Glenwood Springs

Spraddle Creek not pristine

Dear Editor,I have lived in the Vail area since

1962, skiing hunting, hiking, fishing, camping, picnicking, jeeping, and have covered a lot of Eagle County. Spraddle Creek drainage is one area that I know extremely well.

Vail Daily May 15, 2010: “Pro-ponents say aerial tour shows the Hidden Gems are pristine and need protection.”

Jonathan Staufer letter in Vail Mountaineer June 15: “What I and a couple thousand other potential

voters would like to see is that it re-mains forever in its current pristine state rather than having gas wells, timber sales and roads all over it.”

“Pristine state”? You cannot be serious! Pristine defined: “In its original condition, fresh as if new, pure, untouched.”

Spraddle Creek drainage has a substantial heavy logging road that is, for the most part, parallel to the creek. That road goes all theway to the top of the North Ridge. The wil-derness boundary on Bald Moun-tain is not far away. The upper ba-sin was heavily logged in the ‘50s and 60s. In the ‘90s, the U.S.F.S

had a timber sale that resulted in a large “clearcut” on the East Ridge. (Meaning no tree was left stand-ing.)

Considering the self-professed critera of Hidden Gems proponents, to include Spraddle Creek into the wilderness proposal is totally inap-propriate and is an example of how other areas are equally misrepre-sented as eligible for wilderness designation.

Mr. Staufer, Hidden Gems use of misinformation is far more egre-gious than that of Jane Norton.

Happy hiking,Richard Peterson, Vail

If your kids are interested in fly fishing, then they won’t want to miss today’s Summer Reading Program at the Vail Public Library.

This year’s theme for the Summer Reading Program is “Splash into Reading.”

This week, the stories, games and crafts will be fo-cused on our local rivers and water conservation ef-forts.

Sarah Fleury, Water Conservation Officer for the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District, says she’s really excited about coming to the event.

“I can’t wait to see the children interact with the games and information I bring,” she says. Fleury will have interactive tools for the children to gauge water use and games about water conservation.

“If weather permits, experiments and games will be conducted outside,” says Michelle Jirenec, Town of Vail Public Library. “Sarah will be opening the tap to a

flood of fun this Tuesday!” Minturn Anglers co-owner Matt Sprecher will pres-

ent in the second half of the program. Under his guid-ance, children will be entertained with a fly fisherman’s relay, casting lessons and target practice.

“Parents are welcome to stay and witness the trans-formation of their children into avid fly fisher boys and girls,” says Jirenec.

The program occurs from 1 to 3 p.m. and is for chil-dren ages 6-11. Children may register any Tuesday to receive a packet that contains a reading log. Summer Readers can then document their minutes spent reading and receive a prize for each hour.

Although families of readers are always welcome; this event is suited for ages six and older. The event is free of charge. For more information, call 970-479-2179 or visit www.vaillibrary.com. The Town of Vail Public Library can now be found on Facebook and twitter.

In Columbia Pictures’ “The Karate Kid,” 12-year-old Dre Parker (Jaden Smith) could’ve been the most popular kid in Detroit, but his mother’s (Taraji P. Henson) latest career move has landed him in China. Dre immediately falls for his classmate Mei Ying - and the feeling is mutual - but cultural dif-ferences make such a friendship impossible. Even worse, Dre’s feelings make an enemy of the class bully, Cheng. In the land of kung fu, Dre knows only a little karate, and Cheng puts “the karate kid” on the floor with ease. With no friends in a strange land, Dre has nowhere to turn, but to maintenance man Mr. Han (Jackie Chan), who is secretly a mas-ter of kung fu. As Han teaches Dre that kung fu is not about punches and parries, but maturity and calm, Dre realizes that facing down the bullies will be the fight of his life.

Geothermal project could heat hundreds of homes, buildings

NEWS

Entrepreneur/scientist wants to drill test wells in Gypsum/Eagle area

It won’t cost the county a dime to let an entrepreneur drill a test well for geothermal heat, he told the com-missioners yesterday.

Lee Flint made the rounds yesterday looking for ad-vice, support and possible places to drill for geothermal heat.

He was not asking for money. The U.S. Department of Energy gave him $8 million to get started, and he said that’s all he needs for now.

“I will never ask you to go below ground. I’m not asking for money,” Flint said.

“As long as it doesn’t cost anything, let’s start down this road,” said Peter Runyon, county commissioner.

Flint wants to drill a test well at the western end of the Eagle County airport. They’d drill down about 4,000 feet to determine how much hot water there is, and how hot it is.

If the county commissioners balk, Gypsum is a cou-ple hundred yards west, the Colorado National Guard is on other side of the airport, and the American Eagle wallboard plant is up the street and around the corner.

The same hot water resource is available in all those spots.

If the water is hot enough and there’s enough of it, it pumps itself out. If it’s really hot, it can be used to generate electricity, Flint said.

“We’d like to access that because it has a tremendous amount of hot water,” Flint said. “We have found that

this valley is hot as a spot to develop this renewable resource.”

The project would be the first of its kind in the state of Colorado.

How it worksIt would work like a heat exchanger for your home,

only much bigger.Sometimes there’s enough pressure that you don’t

need a pump.“In an ideal world it will flow. It does in Glenwood

Springs,” Flint said.The water comes out, heats commercial buildings

and homes, and a return system pours it back into the earth from whence it came. It’s reheated and the renew-able cycle of life starts again.

It’s a closed system using a resource that scientists like Flint have found already exists – the ultimate re-newable resource.

Why it worksAs you drink you morning coffee, you and your chair

are sitting on the Rio Grande Rift. It starts along the Rio Grande River in Texas, makes its way north to Ala-mosa and up the San Luis Valley, through Leadville, Gilman and Minturn, down the Eagle River Valley to Dotsero, up through Steamboat Springs, Wyoming and Canada.

Scientists have sensors all over are studying how quickly the continent is pulling itself apart, the kind of tectonic activity that creates hot water below the sur-face of the earth.

The youngest volcano in the state is just down the road in Dotsero, so they have lots of tectonic activity around here. Tectonic activity creates hot water and geothermal heat.

Lee’s calculations are based on 180 degree water

Tonight’s Hot Summer Nights after parties

Stereo Assassins at Sandbar, West Vail

When they first played together last year, they were Hustle’s Ben Koelker and Pete Haugh with Frogs Gone Fishin’s Andrew Portwood and Dave Donahue of Laughing Bones. With the addition of Frogs’ Trevor Jones on keyboard, they go by the name Stereo Assas-sins.

Andrew Portwood of Frogs Gone Fishin’ said Stereo Assassins play aerobic funk, covering James Brown, The Meters and funky takes on Phish and the Dead. “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. Show starts at 10 p.m. and is free.

Supersonic Shrimp at Saltwater Cowboy, Avon

Supersonic Shrimp is a new local three-piece rock band, featuring wizard guitarist Steve Karanbay, drum-mer Shawn McKeown and their bassist known simply as Conan. “It’s like guitar-oriented classic rock,” says McKeown “We’re like a power trio, doing covers of Hendrix and Cream – a lot of that sixties and seventies guitar rock – delivered with authority, like it should be. We definitely rock it out. It’s not overly aggressive, like heavy metal, but it’s fun and high energy.” The show starts at 9:30 p.m.

George Hilliard at Bearfish, West Vail

Go check out George’s new restaurant and bar Bearfish in West Vail. George and Davie will be playing all of your favorite ski town, southern-inspired, acous-tic classics. He’s got a sweet sound system and great food. Hilliard, originally from Roswell, Georgia, has been living and playing music in Vail for a long-while. He moved here in 1987 and served as house musician for The Club until 1995. Music starts at 8:30 p.m.

Taylor Hilliard at The Club, Vail Village.

Taylor Hilliard, nephew of George Hilliard, who has been playing acoustic rock in Vail for years, is taking the stage tonight. He plays acoustic southern rock – ev-erything from country to alternative rock and classic rock. The whole thing started when Uncle George was playing one night at The Club this past winter. Taylor got up on stage and showed everybody that he could play too. “I’ve always been around music. My dad and my uncle both play, so I got my first guitar when I was real little,” Hilliard said. “I’m a southern boy. I played a bunch down in Georgia at some of the local bars – made the move out here and I’m getting it started up again.” The show starts at 10 p.m.

ATHLETIC STUFF


U.S. District Court in Manhattan just days after a feder-al grand jury indicted him on 10 terrorism and weapons counts, some of which carry mandatory life sentences. He pleaded guilty to them all.

Widely circulated snapshots of Shahzad — a U.S.-trained financial analyst and married father of two — show him with a neatly trimmed beard, all smiles and looking carefree behind sunglasses or with his Ameri-can wife. When led into court yesterday, he had on a white skull cap and prisoner’s uniform, his beard shag-gy and his demeanor serious.

U.S. District Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum challenged Shahzad repeatedly with questions such as whether he looked at the people in Times Square, espe-cially the children, to see who they were or whether he really built the bomb by himself. He repeatedly insisted he acted without help from others in the U.S. and built the bomb “all by myself.”

“One has to understand where I’m coming from,” Shahzad said calmly. “I consider myself ... a Muslim soldier.”

Supreme Court upholds aid ban to terror groups

The Supreme Court upheld the government’s author-ity yesterday to ban aid to designated terrorist groups, even when that support is intended to steer the groups toward peaceful and legal activities.

The court left intact a federal law that the Obama ad-ministration considers an important tool against terror-ism. But human rights organizations say the law’s ban on providing training and advice to nearly four dozen organizations on a State Department list squanders a chance to persuade people to renounce extremism.

The justices voted 6-3 to reject a free-speech chal-lenge from humanitarian aid groups to the law that bars “material support” — everything from money to tech-nical know-how to legal advice — to foreign terrorist organizations.

The aid groups were only challenging provisions that put them at risk of being prosecuted for talking to ter-rorist organizations about nonviolent activities.

But Chief Justice John Roberts said in his opinion for the court that material support intended even for benign purposes can help a terrorist group in other ways.

Nebraskans vote on illegal immigration

Ponzi king Bernard Madoff is telling fellow jailbirds that he secretly funneled $9 billion in swiped funds to three people before he was nabbed, an inmate was quoted telling the New York Post.

Madoff reportedly says that his partner in crime Frank DiPascali knows who the recipients are -- and that he suspects DiPascali is using that information to cut a better deal with the feds, according to the inmate at the medium-security prison in Butner, N.C., yester-day’s article said.

“I think it was personal friends,” the inmate said

of the recipients of the mega-bucks, according to the Post.

DiPascali, 52, pleaded guilty last year to 10 felonies in connection with helping Madoff swindle investors out of more than $60 billion at his Manhattan financial firm.

Madoff, 72, is serving a life sentence, but DiPascali has reportedly been trying to avoid that fate by coop-erating with prosecutors -- who argued strenuously for his release from jail pending sentencing despite a judge’s initial reluctance to grant bail.

DiPascali remains locked up awaiting sentencing, unable to post a $10 million bond.

Yachting bad; golfing goodA White House spokesman mocked BP’s chief execu-

tive yesterday for attending a luxury yacht race despite the oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, but then defended President Barack Obama’s own weekend golf game, according to the AFP.

Tony Hayward, the British energy giant’s embattled chief, drew fire from the White House over the week-end for having gone to the yacht race Saturday off the Isle of Wight, the article says.

White House spokesman Bill Burton took him to task again yesterday, reportedly suggesting that Hay-ward take part in the cleanup operations in the Gulf of Mexico with the 300,000 euro yacht he co-owns.

“You know, look, if Tony Hayward wants to put a skimmer on that yacht and bring it down to the Gulf, we’d be happy to have his help,” Burton was quoted saying in the report.

But when asked about Obama’s day Saturday, in par-ticular his four-hour golf game at a course near Wash-ington, Burton said the president had the right to de-compress a bit after a hard week, the AFP says.

“I don’t think that there’s a person in this country that doesn’t think that their president ought to have a little time to clear his mind,” Burton was quoted saying.

Women love BugsWomen seem to agree on the cars they want to drive—

just nine vehicle models have more female registrants than male, according to a survey of vehicle records, the LA Times reports. The Times’ article says the top nine are as follows: Volkswagen Beetle, Nissan Rogue, Hyundai Tucson, Honda CR-V, Kia Sportage, Toyota RAV4, Volkswagen Eos, Volvo S40, Nissan Sentra.

New York Times poll looks for job plan

Overwhelmingly, Americans think the nation needs a fundamental overhaul of its energy policies, and most expect alternative forms to replace oil as a major source within 25 years, according to the New York Times. Yet a majority are unwilling to pay higher gasoline prices to help develop new fuel sources, the article says. Those are among the findings of the latest nationwide New York Times/CBS News poll.

the public’s reaction to the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexi-co, highlights some of the complex political challenges the Obama administration faces, the Times’ John M. Broder and Marjorie Connelly wrote yesterday.

For instance, despite intense news coverage and widespread public concern about the economic and ecological damage from the Gulf disaster, most Ameri-cans remain far more concerned about jobs and the na-tion’s overall economy, according to the poll.

Amanda Bynes has lost her passion

Amanda Bynes has retired from acting - at the age of 24, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

The former child star, who got her start on 1990s sketch show “All That” before land-ing roles in Hollywood films like “Hairspray,” has revealed she is quit-ting movies because she has lost the passion for them, yesterday’s article said.

In a series of posts on her Twitter page, Bynes writes, “I don’t love acting anymore so I’ve stopped doing it. Being an actress isn’t as fun as it may seem. I’ve never written the movies & tv shows I’ve been apart of (sic), I’ve only acted like the characters the producers or directors wanted me to play.

“If I don’t love some-thing anymore I stop doing it. I know 24 is a young age to retire but you heard it here first: I’ve retired,” the Chron-icle reports.

Family leave for gay workers

The Labor Department intends to issue regulations this week ordering businesses to give gay employees equal treatment under a law permitting workers unpaid time off to care for newborns or loved ones. Labor Sec-

retary Hilda Solis planned to announce Wednesday that the government would require employers to extend the option that has been available to heterosexual work-ers for almost two decades, two officials briefed on the plan said yesterday.

The Family and Medical Leave Act allows workers to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave each year to take care of loved ones or themselves. The 1993 law, which also allows employees to take time off for adoptions, has previously only been applied to heterosexual couples.

New tax may drive cigarettes to $10 a packTen dollars for a pack of cigarettes? It might soon

become a reality in many stores in New York City, ac-cording to FOX News.

The cigarette tax in New York would jump $1.60 a pack under a tentative deal struck between Governor David Paterson and state government leaders, FOX re-ports. The proposal is part of an emergency budget bill that was due for a vote yesterday.

In the city, which levies steep taxes of its own on tobacco products, a pack of cigarettes reportedly would come with a tax of $5.85, making it the nation’s first city to break $5 in taxes.

The Paterson administration hopes the proposal would generate $440 million in revenue this year, which would help close the state budget gap that is es-timated to be over $9 billion, according to FOX.

Ad-blaring license plates may be coming

As electronic highway billboards flashing neon ad-vertisements become more prevalent, the next frontier in distracted driving is already approaching — ad-blar-ing license plates.

The California Legislature is considering a bill that would allow the state to begin researching the use of electronic license plates for vehicles. The move is in-tended as a moneymaker for a state facing a $19 billion deficit.

The device would mimic a standard license plate when the vehicle is in motion but would switch to digi-tal ads or other messages when it is stopped for more than four seconds, whether in traffic or at a red light. The license plate number would remain visible at all times in some section of the screen.

In emergencies, the plates could be used to broadcast Amber Alerts or traffic information.

The bill’s author, Democratic Sen. Curren Price of Los Angeles, said California would be the first state to implement such technology if the state Department of

2010 Wimbledon underwayFEDERER NARROWLY

ESCAPES UPSETMurray questions bowing to queen

French champ loses in 1st round

On a surface he rules, at a tourna-ment he owns, against an opponent he dominates, Roger Federer found himself in serious trouble yester-day: He dropped the first two sets against 60th-ranked Alejandro Falla of Colombia, then was a mere three points from losing in the first round of Wimbledon.

“I had Federer against the ropes,” Falla would say later.

Eventually, the unheralded Falla succumbed to some jitters, and six-time Wimbledon champion Federer overcame the deficit and pulled away to win 5-7, 4-6, 6-4, 7-6 (1), 6-0 in the event’s opening Centre Court match.

“You definitely feel, you know, uncomfortable, because if you’re used to being down the whole time, your whole life, it’s something that’s kind of normal. For me, it’s not nor-mal to be down two-sets-to-love, especially at Wimbledon and early on in Grand Slams. It’s something I’m not quite used to,” said the top-seeded Federer, who hampered him-self with seven double-faults. “But still, I was able to find a way. That’s most important right now. Doesn’t matter how I felt out there. Didn’t feel great, that’s for sure.”

Two weeks after emerging trium-phant at the French Open, Franc-esca Schiavone stood on the other end of the Grand Slam spectrum yesterday at Wimbledon.

Schiavone became just the sec-ond reigning Roland Garros cham-pion in the Open Era, which be-gan in 1968, to be knocked out of Wimbledon in the first round when she lost 6-7 (0), 7-5, 6-1 to Russia’s Vera Dushevina after nearly three hours on Court 2.

The 29-year-old Italian said she wished she had an extra two or three weeks to make the transition from clay to grass but denied she felt extra pressure now she was a Grand Slam champion.

“Maybe I could have been more aggressive at times,” she said, re-ferring to the four break points she failed to convert in the 11th game of the second set.

“I didn’t have a lot of energy to-day. It was very close, but she took advantage of her chances, and I didn’t. I’ll lift my head and start from scratch.”

The 56th-ranked Dushevina was not concerned when she learned last Friday that she had been drawn to play Schiavone in the opening round.

Queen Elizabeth is planning to attend matches at Wimbledon this week for the first time in 30 years, and No. 4 seed Andy Murray is creating quite a stir by questioning the traditional act of bowing to the queen. Murray is from Scotland, a country that for centuries fought England for its independence, and he continues to practice many of the traditions of his native land.

“It should be personal prefer-ence,” he said. “I don’t want to be bowing and the person I’m playing with walk straight past or the other way around. You obviously need to have an agreement before you go on. I’ll have to speak to the orga-nizers about it.”

Murray was met with local criti-cism immediately following his comments and quickly pulled a Murray scurry, backing down on his initial stance by Tweeting yes-terday: “Few stories about me not bowing to the Queen if I play in front of her. Not the case, would be an honour and privilege, of course I’ll bow.”

The Queen surprised some by picking 2010 to return to the All England Club because it is the first time in 133 years that not a single Englishman is in the draw.

Roddick, who lost an epic final last year against Roger Federer, beat the No. 92-ranked Ram 6-3, 6-2, 6-2. Seeded fifth, Roddick never faced a break point and committed only 10 unforced er-rors. The three-time Wimbledon runner-up will play Michael Llo-dra for a berth in the final 32. AP photo.

ATHLETIC STUFF

France coach rips own playersFranch coach Raymond Domenech de-

scribed his players as acting like imbe-ciles when they protested against Nicolas Anelka’s expulsion by refusing to train for a match that will decide their World Cup future.

Striker Nicolas Anelka was sent back to France over the weekend after his pro-fane rant against the coach.

“I tried to convince them that what they were doing was an aberration, an imbecil-ity, a stupidity without name,” Domenech said yesterday.

France plays South Africa today in a Group A match it needs to win to stand a chance of advancing. It also requires a winner in the Mexico-Uruguay game to avoid a repeat of the 2008 European Championship, when it went out in the first round.

The message from Domenech, team of-ficials and politicians is clear: the players are on their own after Sunday’s strike.

“French football is facing a disaster, not because it lost a match but because this disaster is a moral disaster,” sports min-ister Roselyne Bachelot said. “The reality of the situation must be faced head on.

“It is not merely just a bad period that must be gotten through, nothing will be like it was before. I said so to the players in an extremely emotional meeting.”

Patrice Evra’s role as captain could be over after only five games, with Dome-nech refusing to confirm him as his lead-er after the defender initiated the player walkout.

“I haven’t picked the team yet, we will see tomorrow,” Domenech said, adding that “they’ve expended a lot of energy. It’s sad.”

Domenech said he spent more than 45 minutes trying to talk the players out of the strike, including when the players were on the team bus with the curtains closed.

ghanistan when we talked, and he was already working.

He was home in April to file the paperwork for his candidacy, and will be back to campaign full-time later this summer.

“I got a call that said we were looking pretty good, and that they stopped counting because we had plenty of signatures,” Van Beek said. “They verified all the signa-tures yesterday, and it’s now it’s of-ficial.”

Who’s James van Beek?Van Beek is the son of immigrant

parents, and has lived in Eagle County 21 years. He married Car-

rie 18 years ago and they have two sons, Louis and William.

He left the Sheriff’s office in 1999 for a job as security supervisor on Vail Mountain.

A year later, he started his first tour as a civilian police officer in the United Nations Mission in Ko-sovo, helping build a functioning police force of Kosovo nationals. He eventually became senior shift supervisor, overseeing all patrol op-erations of both local and interna-tional police.

He was back and forth between Kosovo, the Middle East and the Eagle County Sheriff’s office for the next few years.

In April 2006, he went to Afghan-istan to help establish a democratic police force, working with police officers from all over the United States, as well as soldiers, airmen, Marines, and naval personnel.

“While my path in my law en-forcement career was not the one I had envisioned when I was first hired on, and it certainly has not been the one that your average law enforcement professional may take, I truly feel that my experiences abroad have given me many clear and definitive skills that would make me an excellent Sheriff,” van Beek said.

VAN BEEK MAKES BALLOT –---------------------------------- [From page 1]

Motor Vehicles ultimately recommends the widespread use of the plates. He said other states are exploring something similar.

Interested advertisers would contract directly with the DMV, thus opening a new revenue stream for the state, Price said.

Van der Sloot says he was tricked to confess

Joran van der Sloot told a judge yesterday that his rights and due process were violated after his arrest in connection with the killing of a Peruvian woman, his attorney told CNN, according to a report by the news agency. The judge will decide on the legality of van der Sloot’s incarceration by tomorrow, lawyer Maximo Altez was quoted saying in the article.

Meanwhile, in a Dutch newspaper article published yesterday, van der Sloot was quoted saying he was “tricked” into confessing to the murder of a Peruvian student, Stephany Flores Ramirez, according to CNN.

Peruvian police told him that if he signed the papers they gave him, he would be transferred to the Nether-lands, he told De Telegraaf in a jail interview, CNN says.

“In my blind panic I signed everything, but never knew what was written on them,” he was quoted say-ing in the article.

Orlando and Miranda are engaged

Orlando Bloom is engaged to marry his supermodel

girlfriend Miranda Kerr, according to the San Francis-co Chronicle.

The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star, 33, has been dat-ing the Australian beauty since 2007 and they have re-peatedly dismissed reports they’re heading down the aisle, yesterday’s article said.

Kerr, 27, was forced to deny the most recent engage-ment rumors in February when she was spotted wearing a ring on her wedding finger, the Chronicle reports.

But Bloom’s spokesperson reportedly has now con-firmed the actor has proposed to Kerr and the couple is making plans to wed.

“Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr are getting mar-ried,” his rep was quoted telling ETonline.com.

coming out of the ground, but it could be much hotter, he said. He says the project would reduce the county’s carbon emissions by 25,000 tons per year, reduces the county’s heat bill by millions, create booth temporary and permanent jobs.

How it paysFlint is a scientist, but intends to make money at

this. If he finds the amount of hot water he thinks he will, he’ll start signing up partners and clients, building pipes and creating the systems to distribute the heat.

It’s just business, and Flint is already setting about finding other customers.

There are also possible royalties for whoever lets Flint drill his wells. Geothermal leases traditionally

pay between 3-5 percent, so it could be a revenue gen-erator, Flint said.

From the county building, Lee and his crew took their show on the road to Gypsum. They spent some time earlier in the day with people who know how to set up metro districts.

Buildings with hot water heat would work best, both for commercial buildings and private residences. The airport would be straightforward because it has a boiler system. The county’s administration building is set up the same way, as is the Justice Center.

The ECO Transit building has rooftop units, which are more problematic.

The water cools about 3 percent for every mile it’s pumped, Flint said.

own hands. This banner reads, ‘Dirty Reggae,’ and represents their signature fusion of reggae, soul, grit and determination,” their record la-bel says

Voted “Best Band” by the artists, production staff and road crew of the Vans Warped Tour in 2008, The Aggrolites have shared the stage with Social Distortion, Flogging Molly, 311, Michael Franti and with the godfathers of reggae music The Skatalites.

“They rally the kids, the parents, the students, the cops, the bosses

and the drifters,” says the band’s promoter. “The people come, they relish in The Aggrolites, the dirty reggae and the joy that comes with it all. The liberating rhythms and catchy grooves demand a return trip.”

The band’s music has been fea-tured on MTV’s “Nitro Circus” and “The Hills,” NBC’s “Friday Night Lights,” and the award winning surf film “The Pursuit.” And, their song “Into Action” is played during near-ly every Dodgers home game.

The Aggrolites have toured all

over the world, from places like Grand Junction for the popular High Desert Ska Fest, to London where they opened for Madness before a sold-out crowd at Wembley Arena.

— By Geoff Mintz

have permitted Colorado Mountain College to also of-fer up to five bachelor’s degrees, college administrators are seeking that accreditation in the hopes of starting to offer the first of those degrees by the fall of 2011.

Branching out

“I’m looking forward to getting to know the differ-ent communities in which there are Colorado Mountain College campuses,” Spencer said. He will be based at the college’s central administrative offices in Glen-wood Springs, but as with other senior administrators there, will spend extensive time throughout the col-lege’s 12,000-square-mile service area.

A native of a small town in Washington, Spencer earned a bachelor’s degree from Willamette University in Oregon with a major in international studies and a minor in Spanish. He played two years of football as a wide receiver at Willamette and was named “Freshman of the Year” on the school’s conference-winning team in 1995. Spencer left football behind so that he could study abroad in Ecuador and Cuba.

“I had to choose between holding onto those high school dreams and getting out of my comfort zone to explore the world and my interests in Latin American culture,” Spencer recalled. “My semester in Ecuador,

which included travels by bus and backpack around the county and into Colombia, was probably my most life-changing experience until becoming a dad in October 2008.”

The college athlete completed a Master of Science degree in sport organization from Miami University in Ohio in 2001. While in graduate school, he thought he would combine his interest in sports and international studies by working with Latin American players in ma-jor league baseball. Instead, he found his professional niche in fundraising while serving as a graduate assis-tant with Miami University’s Red & White Club, which supports athletic scholarships.

He later worked in development, with a focus on an-nual giving, planned giving, leadership gifts and capi-tal campaign management for the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Foundation in Illinois and for the Daniels College of Business at the University of Denver.

When he is not working, Spencer enjoys spending time with his wife of almost 10 years, Natanee, and playing and taking walks with their young son, Talon. Spencer also calls himself a “golfing and snowboard-ing addict,” an active lifestyle that fits the bill for a leader at the college located in 11 towns on Colorado’s Western Slope.
