THE UPDATE

The $9.3 million that the town of Vail has set aside from the conference center lodging tax would be best used improv-ing a number of already existing facili-ties, said former town council member Kent Logan.

Logan, the head of the Vail Citizens for Action Committee, gave a presenta-tion on possible uses for the funds to the council at their regular meeting Sept. 7.

Voters approved a ballot question to collect sales and lodging tax funds for a conference center in 2002 but defeated a ballot question to construct a conference center in 2005. A balance of $7.7 mil-

lion in 2006 from the taxes has grown to close to more than $9 million.

“We didn’t find any silver bullet,” Logan said on Tuesday. After explor-ing the resources available to Vail and

talking with representatives from other communities, those looking to find po-tential projects the funds could be used for could not identify any single, large projects that would attract revenue.

Shana Tova, Vail Valley!

Happy Rosh Hashanah to Vail’s Jewish community! Services will be held today at the Vail Interfaith Chapel from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. A Luncheon at La Tour will follow at 12:45 p.m. Space is limited for lunch and the cost is $30 for adults, $15 for children. Services are open to all. “We want to wish the Vail community Shana Tova, a sweet and good new year for piece and wellbeing,” B’nai Vail Rabbi Debra Rappaport said. Photo courtesy of Phil Brodsky.

Instead, the funds should be used to up-date existing facilities to “world-class” standards and then allowing entertain-ers and businessmen to exploit them and provide money to the town, he said.

Logan described Vail as an athletic amusement park, and focused his ideas for spending by the town around the goal of creating a safe athletic experience for visitors.

He provided five specific projects as potential uses for the funds:

• A remodel of the golf clubhouse to be an “athletic activity center.” Logan was not clear on the specifics of the remodel, but said the current facility is lacking. “It’s really quite an embarrassment,” he said. “It’s really not a world-class facil-ity.”

• Improvements to the Dobson Arena. While Logan rejected the idea of add-ing a second story to the arena as cost-prohibitive, he said improvements could attract NHL teams hoping to train at altitude in the off-season or shows like Disney on Ice.

• Artificial turfgrass for Ford Park. This would expand the season for the park’s use, and would encourage orga-

Vail Town Manager Stan Zemler is expressing his appreciation for the outpouring of community support he’s received after confirming that his home in Boulder County is among those destroyed in the Fourmile Can-yon wildfire.

“The response and caring support

from everyone has been wonderful,” he wrote in a late afternoon e-mail. “This is a difficult time and the im-pact of this is horrible. The fire is sig-nificant for many. Eventually, I will share this experience because there is much for all of us to learn from it. Thanks all for thinking of us.”

Winter free parking could be expanded to 2 hrs in Vail‘$3 from 3 p.m. to 3 a.m.’ also part of new plan

Winter visitors to Vail Village could get 30 more minutes of free parking this year than last, depending on a decision by the Vail Town Council at their next meeting Sept. 21.

At its Tuesday meeting, the council discussed a num-ber of changes to the town’s winter parking plan, in-cluding the expansion of last year’s 1.5 hour free park-ing to 2 hours.

Visitors and locals were allowed 90 minutes of free parking in designated areas near the town’s shop and restaurants last year. This winter, all of the spaces in the town’s parking structure could be free of charge for the first two hours, the automatically subject to an hourly rate system. The first two hours of parking would be

free of charge 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.Council members and city staff discussed a number

of different options for short-term parking in the Vil-lage before coming to a loose consensus. Originally discussed was the idea of installing short-term spaces on the Village parking structure’s top floor or else-where within the sculpture, but the council members ultimately agreed that a single flat rate applied to all spaces would eliminate any confusion.

To curb revenue losses that would be created by al-lowing an extra half hour of free parking, the council agreed to alter last year’s “free after three” rule. Coun-cil discussed a number of alternatives, none of which rhymed, before settling on “three from three to three,” a system that would impost a flat rate of three dollars for all parking in the village from 3 p.m. to 3 a.m. Pur-

Hickenlooper to visit Vail Saturday

Gubernatorial front-runner and Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper will come to Vail Saturday.

Hickenlooper will come as a guest of the Colorado Medical So-ciety, the state’s largest physicians’ group, which is holding its annual

meeting at the Vail Cascade Resort over the coming weekend. More than 300 physicians are expected to attend, in addition to about 200 others.

The mayor will give a short pre-sentation to the physicians, followed by a question and answer session. Because of the audience, Hicken-looper is expected to focus on his

stance on healthcare-related issues, said Dean Holzkamp, the Chief Op-erating Officer for the CMS.

The Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, Ken Buck, is also scheduled to appear at the meeting. Buck will speak with the members for about half an hour on Friday.

Neither of the events will be open to the public.

Vail council appoints new PEC memberJohn Rediker, owner of a Vail law practice, was cho-

sen unanimously by the Vail Town Council to serve on the towns Planning and Environmental Council, or PEC. Rediker was among three applicants seeking the position, which was vacated in July when Sarah Robin-son-Paladino resigned because she was unable to make it to the commission’s two monthly meetings.

All three applicants were interviewed by the coun-cil at its work session Sept. 7. Each of the interviews lasted less than 15 minutes. Because he deals primarily with real estate and construction law, some members of

the council expressed concerns that he would run into conflicts of interest if chosen for the commission, but Rediker assured them that, in his time following the ac-tions of the PEC, he had never worked for a client that would have created a conflict of interest.

Because he owns his own practice, Rediker said he would always be able to make it to regular meetings, an issue the council stressed in each of the interviews.

The position is not paid, but the seven members of the council are provided with blue parking passes and a merchant pass to Vail Resorts hills.

In the late 70s, when Dave Johnston was Army 8th Infantry stationed in Germany, he escaped the pressures of his post by joining his friends in a non-competitive walk founded by Deutschlanders.

“The Germans are great walkers, the Europeans are great walkers, so they started walking non-compet-itively just for exercise.,” the 75-year-old Evergreen, Colo. resident said.

Johnston said Volksmarching afforded him the chance to escape the hum drum routine of his station, where he could take in his surroundings and meet new people.

“I started (Volksmarching) personally because it got us off the military base,” said Johnston. “We got to see some wonderful places saw and a heck of a lot of Europe we would not have nor-mally seen.”

Johnston founded the first Colorado Volksmarch in 1979, a branch of the 300 strong nationwide American Volkssport Association walking clubs.

Vo l k s m a r c h i n g , German for “people’s walk,” is a non-com-petitive event where walkers can choose between a 6K or 10K trail.

The Colorado High Country Hikers Volksmarch Club is holding a Volksmarch Saturday at the Montauk Res-taurant Patio in Lionshead.

Walkers may start anytime from 9:30 a.m. to noon, with a finish time of 4 p.m.

The event is non competitive, so you can take the trail langsam like a tortoise or schnell like a hare.

“We do it just for the fun, fitness and friendship,” said Johnston. “It’s not an event like the cancer walk at Beaver Creek, it’s really something organized that people can get out and do and have an opportunity to have a goal to work towards.”

This event is open to the public and the cost of the walk is free.

If you are an AVA member there is a cost of $3 for a commemorative stamp and $6 for a medal.

Participation awards will be given at vari-ous points and times during the walk.

Volkssports are widely known in Eu-rope today.

Founded in 1968 by walkers from Switzer-land, Liechtenstein, and Germany founded an international fed-eration with the aim of organizing sports without classification and finish times.

These men also founded the International Federation of Popular Sports - known as IVV - and sanctions non-competitive walk-ing, biking, swimming, skiing, skating, and shoeshow-ing.

Etown holding fundraiser for local man undergoing kidney transplant

NEWS

Twelve-year Vail Valley local Brian Gilbertson will be undergoing a kidney transplant next week, and to-night Etown restaurant in the Riverwalk at Edwards is giving you a chance to offer your support by throwing Brian a fundraiser.

Brian has found a donor in his girlfriend, Joy Bir-mingham, so you might call this an old fashioned love story. There is another familiar theme at play in Brian’s tale, as well, in that he’s incurred medical costs not covered by his health insurance. He and Joy will be unable to work during recovery.

“The goal of this event is to raise funds to help al-leviate the burden on them,” said Sarah Olson, a friend of Brian’s and server at Etown who is helping organize the event. “They are long time locals and wonderful friends to all who know them; this is our opportunity to give something back.”

The fundraiser starts at 5:30 p.m. tonight. There will be a raffle and several prizes given out, and Etown is donating 10 percent of their food sales on the night to the fundraiser, as well. 100 percent of the money from the raffle will go to Brian and Joy.

Raffle prizes are set to include restaurant certificates, a ski pass and hotel and spa packages, among other things. The drawing will begin at 9 p.m.

Brian Gilbertson was lucky to find a matching kid-ney from his girlfriend, Joy Birmingham. He will be undergoing a transplant next week. Etown is hold-ing a fundraiser for the couple tonight.

Vail’s different daily alternative

The U.S. Forest Service plans to cut about 14,000 acres of trees near communities and in more than 350 recreation sites as it deals with damage from an insect epidemic that has killed millions of acres of pines in Colorado and Wyoming.

The agency has mapped out the projects in response to questions from U.S. Sen. Mark Udall about how $30 million will be spent on Colorado’s bark beetle problem. The Colorado Democrat said in June that he was worried the money might not be enough to address the problem.

People in communities near the hardest-hit areas were also con-

cerned about problems with bee-tle-killed trees falling and quickly burning in case of wildfire, said Doug Young of Udall’s staff.

“There was a concern that, ‘Hey, we got this money and trees are starting to fall,’” Young said Tues-day.

Udall asked for an accounting of how the money was being spent.

The U.S. Department of Agri-culture, which oversees the Forest Service, announced late last year that it would funnel $40 million to the Rockies to attack the beetle problem. Of that, $30 million will be used to cut infested trees and for other work in Colorado’s White

River, Medicine Bow-Routt, Arapa-hoe and Roosevelt and White River national forests.

Spending planned this year and next in Colorado includes $7.75 million to clear dead trees along 639 miles of roads, $2.19 million to clear 239 miles of trails, $15.3 million to cut beetle-killed trees on 15,000 acres and $2.73 million dollars to clear hazards at 210 rec-reation sites.

The rest of the money will be used in beetle-ravaged areas in Wyoming and the Blacks Hills in western South Dakota. A national team of experts is helping the For-

Forest Service plans attack on bark beetles

The Boulder County sheriff’s office said Wednesday that 136 homes have been destroyed—a toll likely to rise as the blaze rages on and firefighters get a clearer picture of the damage.

About 3,500 people have been evacuated from about 1,000 homes stemming from a fire that broke out in a parched area near of Boulder on Monday. Four people remain missing as some residents have stayed behind and risked their lives to try to save their homes.

No deaths or injuries have been reported at this point, and the cause of the fire was not known.

Boxer aid brings own stimulus package

Capitol Police stopped Marcus M. Stanley Tuesday morning when he allegedly tried to “remove and con-ceal” a leafy green substance from his pocket as he was going through security at the Hart Office Building, say U.S. Capitol Police the paper reports. The police later id’d the leafy green as the sticky green according to the Chronicle.

Shakur in a new documentary.ESPN is airing “One Night in Vegas:

Tyson & Tupac” next Tuesday. The film chronicles the pair’s relationship and the night Shakur was shot on the Las Vegas Strip; he died six days later.

In a recent interview, Tyson called the 25-year-old rapper a “misguided warrior.”

Tyson says he’s sorry that he declined Shakur’s repeated requests to smoke

marijuana with him.The former boxer calls that his “biggest regret.”

Cuba’s communist economic model doesn’t work, a rare comment on domestic affairs from a man who has conspicuously steered clear of local issues since step-ping down four years ago.

The fact that things are not working efficiently on this cash-strapped Caribbean island is hardly news. Fidel’s brother Raul, the country’s president, has said the same

thing repeatedly. But the blunt assessment by the father of Cuba’s 1959 revolution is sure to raise eyebrows.

Jeffrey Goldberg, a national correspondent for The Atlantic magazine, asked if Cuba’s economic system was still worth exporting to other countries, and Castro replied: “The Cuban model doesn’t even work for us anymore,” Goldberg wrote yesterday in a post on his Atlantic blog.

to Smoke and drink more. According to Star, Russia’s finance minister Alexei Kudrin explained to citizens yesterday that higher consumption would help lift tax revenues for spending on social services.

Obama defends not extending tax cuts

President Barack Obama strongly defended his oppo-sition to extending Bush-era tax breaks for the wealthi-est Americans yesterday and delivered a searing attack on Republicans and their House leader for advocating “the same philosophy that led to this mess in the first place.”

Obama said the struggling U.S. economy can’t afford to spend $700 billion to keep lower tax rates in place for the nation’s highest earners despite a call by House Minority Leader John Boehner and other GOP leaders to do just that.

Speaking in the same city where Boehner, an Ohio Republican, recently ridiculed Obama’s economic stewardship, Obama said Boehner’s policies amount to no more than “cut more taxes for millionaires and cut more rules for corporations.”

Obama’s comments came as the administration rolled out new proposals designed to reignite a sputtering re-

CNN’s got Piers MorganCNN says Piers Morgan of “America’s Got Talent”

will replace Larry King on the net-work’s prime-time lineup in January.

Morgan, a veteran journalist who hosts a popular interview program in Britain, will do a similar show for CNN. His selection as King’s replace-ment had been widely expected for the past few months.

CNN President Jon Klein says Mor-gan is “able to look at all aspects of the news with style and humor with an oc-casional good laugh in the process.”

The struggling news network will debut another prime-time show with former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer and columnist Kathleen Parker in October.

Consumers use less creditConsumer borrowing fell again in July as households

cut back on their credit card use for a 23rd consecutive month, adding more drag on an economy struggling to mount a sustained rebound.

Borrowing dropped at an annual rate of $3.6 billion in July, the Federal Reserve reported yesterday. That marked the 17th drop in credit in the past 18 months.

Americans did boost borrowing for auto loans in July but this gain was offset by further reductions in the cat-egory that includes credit cards.

The latest drop in overall borrowing was slightly higher than economists’ expectations and followed a $1.02 billion decline in June, which was revised from an initial estimate that total credit had dropped by $1.3 billion that month.

Spears’ bodyguard sues over harassment

A former bodyguard sued Britney Spears yesterday, claiming the singer repeatedly subjected him to “re-peated unwanted sexual advances” and harassment.

Fernando Flores filed the sexual ha-rassment lawsuit in suburban Los An-geles, alleging the singer intentionally inflicted emotional distress.

He is seeking unspecified damages from the Grammy Award-winner and his former employer, Advanced Secu-rity Concepts Corp.

The lawsuit claims that Spears, among other things, exposed herself to Flores and summoned him to her bedroom while she was naked.

The bodyguard’s employment with Spears appeared to be brief - his court filings state he started working for her in February and had “exhausted his administrative

remedies” with a state agency by July.

Mosque backers dividedThe group of Muslims planning to build a 13-story

Islamic center and mosque near ground zero appears plagued by divisions that raise questions about the fu-ture of the project, with one major investor saying he is prepared to sell some or all of the site if the price is right.

Hisham Elzanaty, an Egyptian-born businessman who says he provided a majority of the financing to gain control over the two buildings where the center would be built, told The Associated Press this week that while he supports the concept, he needs to turn a profit.

He said one of the buildings is worth millions if it is redeveloped, and he intends to seize the opportunity. He said he would like to see the other building turned into a mosque, but if his community doesn’t come for-ward with enough cash for him to break even, he will turn it over to someone else.

“I’m a businessman. This was a mere business trans-action for me,” said Elzanaty, a U.S. citizen who has lived on Long Island for decades, owns medical clinics in New York City and invests in real estate on the side.

The boy’s case is reported in last Thursday’s issue of the New England Journal of Medicine by doctors who treated him at the Lucerne Cantonal Hospital in Switzerland.

It follows two reports in June of similar accidents. British doctors said a teenager damaged his eyes with a high-powered laser pointer, and a British physician said his vision was affected for several months after he was zapped by his 7-year-old son.

Laser pointers are devices that resemble pens and emit a narrow beam of laser light. They’re used by lec-turers to point out information during presentations, for example.

Laser pointers sold in the United States are subject to a power limit imposed by the Food and Drug Admin-istration—one that won’t cause instant eye damage, al-though harm is still possible with prolonged exposure.

Laser pointers that exceed the FDA restriction can be found online.

Remnants of Hermine flood Texas; buffet

OklahomaThe remnants of Tropical Storm Hermine swept

northward through Texas and into Oklahoma yester-day, forcing dozens of high-water rescues, swamping city neighborhoods, spawning tornadoes and killing at least two people.

Hermine packed a relatively light punch when it made landfall Monday night, and many residents said they felt unprepared for yesterday’s sudden flooding.

In Arlington, a suburb 22 miles west of Dallas, 67-year-old retiree George Lowe said he and his wife, Laura, were surprised by how quickly and badly their neighborhood flooded. Water reached up to 5 feet high in some homes—many just a single story—laying waste to belongings. Quilts and artwork hung drip-ping and ruined on walls, and couches and furniture lay overturned on sodden, muddy floors.

“Did you ever see a refrigerator floating around your kitchen before?” Lowe asked.

Flooding hurts Pakistan terror fight

Massive flooding that has submerged vast swaths of Pakistan has stretched thin the Pakistani military and will hamper its fight against terrorists, the country’s ambassador to the U.S. said yesterday.

The military’s resources, particularly its limited sup-ply of helicopters, are busy with flood relief, Husain Haqqani said, adding that going after extremists in North Waziristan or other terrorist safe havens will de-pend on the military’s ongoing capabilities.

U.S. military leaders have pressed Pakistan to move into North Waziristan’s lawless border region where in-surgents launch attacks into Afghanistan and al-Qaida leaders find sanctuary. But that has not yet happened.

Pakistan has asked the U.S. for additional military equipment and training, and there are a number of

pending requests, Haqqani told The Associated Press in an interview. But he said his chief concern now is that Pakistan receive reconstruction and other assistance to help recover from the flooding.

Mullah Omar tells Afghans Taliban are winning

The Taliban’s shadowy leader told Afghans yester-day that the insurgents are winning the war and warned Americans that they are wasting lives and billions in tax dollars by continuing in the conflict.

In an end-of-Ramadan message posted on jihadist websites and relayed by the Site Intelligence Group, the Taliban leader also said the Americans and their al-lies will soon leave the country. He urged his fighters to adhere to his code of conduct and avoid harming ci-vilians—instructions U.S. commanders say the Taliban frequently ignore.

“The victory of our Islamic nation over the invading infidels is now imminent and the driving force behind this is the belief in the help of Allah and unity among ourselves,” Mullah Omar said. “In the time to come, we will try to establish an Islamic, independent, perfect and strong system.”

In remarks directed to the American people, Mullah Omar said the U.S. military had failed to achieve its objectives after nearly nine years.

US embassies brace for Quran burning protests

The State Department has ordered U.S. embassies around the world to assess their security ahead of a Florida church group’s planned weekend burning of the Muslim holy book amid fears it could spark anti-American violence.

Officials said yesterday that U.S. diplomatic posts have been instructed to convene “emergency action committees” to determine the potential for protests over the congregation’s plans to burn the Quran to commemorate the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The posts are to warn American citizens in countries where protests may occur. The move underscores the Obama administration’s deep concern that Saturday’s planned Quran burning will inflame anti-American sentiment, particularly in the Arab and Muslim world, and put U.S. troops, diplomats and travelers at risk.

No ‘pants on the ground’ in Baton Rouge

A Baton Rouge Metro Council member wants the parish to support a public awareness campaign against men who wear their pants so low that their boxer shorts show. Councilwoman C. Denise Marcelle has a slogan for the campaign: “Low pants, no chance.”

“I hate to see it and I see so much of it in my dis-trict,” Marcelle said. “It’s disrespectful to the elderly, to young kids and to women.”

Her resolution, on the agenda for discussion yester-day, says wearing saggy pants creates negative stereo-types and that “those who wear saggy pants are hurting their chances of becoming employable, educated and productive citizens.”

Schleck, O’Grady booted from Vuelta for drinking

Team Saxo Bank rider Andy Schleck said on Tuesday he and teammate Stuart O’Grady have been removed from the Spanish Vuelta because they drank al-cohol.

Schleck said he broke a team rule “by going out for a drink after dinner” and said he is “responsible for my actions.”

However, the Luxembourg rider told Cyclingnews.com that the decision by the Danish team’s boss Bjarne Riis to remove the pair was “too harsh.”

“I was getting back into shape and I would really have liked to stay at the Vuelta and help Frank and the rest of Team Saxo Bank,” Schleck told Cy-clingnews.com.

Riis was not available for comment, but a Team Saxo Bank statement con-firmed the two riders had been “sent home due to internal disciplinary rea-sons.”

Relations between Riis and Andy

Schleck and his brother Frank have been tense since they said they would leave to join a newly created team based in Luxembourg.

Other Team Saxo Bank riders O’Grady, Jakob Fuglsang, Jens Voigt and Stuart have been also linked with the new team created by Riis’ former and longtime press assistant Brian Ny-gaard and his then-aide Kim Andersen.

On Aug. 3, 2010, three-time Tour de France champion Alberto Conta-dor signed a deal to compete for Team Saxo Bank-Sungard next season after deciding to leave Astana. Team Saxo Bank-Sungard, which is the new name for next season, also will include Da-vid Tanner of Australia and Denmark’s Brian Vandborg.

Denmark’s TV2 said neither Schleck nor O’Grady were at the start of the 10th stage of the Vuelta a Espana on Tuesday in Tarragona.SCHLECK


If you’ve never imagined a veterinarian as a stand-comic, now is your chance, as “Comedy Night at the Bowlmor” returns to The Back Bowl in Eagle Satur-day, September 11 at 8 p.m., with the reprise engage-ment Dr. Kevin Fitzgerald.

Fitzgerald, already a regular headliner at Denver’s comedy Works, is becoming a mainstay at the Valley’s longest running live comedy series. Returning for his fourth appearance at the Bowlmor Lounge. He is the nation’s only known veterinarian and stand-up comic and, as luck and over twenty-five years on stage - would have it, he also happens to be very, very funny. So fun-ny, in fact, that he starred in his own television series on Animal Planet for over 10 years. Over the years, he has opened for some of the greatest comic talents of our time including the legendary Bob Hope. He’s shared the stage with Lewis Black, Sinbad and…yes…Larry the Cable Guy. In addition he’s performed warm-up for musical acts like Emmy Lou Harris, Diana Ross, Randy Travis and the Neville Brothers. Opening this

September installment of Comedy Night at the Bowl-mor will be Gretchen Hess. Hess, a former Vail local who has already graced the stage at the Back Bowl sev-eral times, was initially discovered while writing and performing for RSN TV. Her talents landed her a gig as a regular contributor on ESPN 2. She has since per-formed at some of the top comedy clubs in the region, opening for some of the finest comics of the day.

Her observational humor is clean, clever and definite-ly very, very funny. As she likes to say about herself…”She’s tall, German and cheap! Like a good pilsner beer…she will surely satisfy!”

Tickets for ‘Comedy Night at the Bowlmor’ are on sale now for $12 in advance and $15 at the door. Group rates are also available. For this month’s show, the Back Bowl is offering a ‘Dine & Laff’ dinner special with select entrees and the comedy show for $21.95. Tickets can be purchased in person at The Back Bowl, or by phone with a credit card by calling 328-BOWL.

Comedy Night returning to Eagle’s The Back Bowl

Comedians Dr. Kevin Fitzgerald and Gretchen Hess will perform at The Back Bowl’s “Comedy Night at the Bowlmor” Saturday at 8 p.m.

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.

BMX race series continues in Eagle

Congrats to the racers from Eagle County BMX who raced in the Colorado State BMX Championships this past weekend in Grand Junction. Local racers of all ages brought home the trophies from the races ... that’s a lot of hardware!

Djokovic into semi-finals at U.S. Open

Third-seeded Novak Djok-ovic beat No. 17 Gael Monfils 7-6 (2), 6-1, 6-2 on Wednesday to reach the U.S. Open semifi-nals for the fourth consecutive year.

Djokovic awaits the winner of the night quarterfinal match between No. 2 Roger Federer and Sweden’s Robin Soderling.

Russian Vera Zvonareva will face top-seeded Caroline Wozniacki or unseeded Do-minika Cibulkova in the wom-en’s semifinals after she saw off Kaia Kanepi of Estonia 6-3, 7-5

in Wednesday’s opening singles match.

With swirling wind topping 20 mph in Arthur Ashe Stadium, 2008 Australian Open champion Djokovic was the more aggres-sive player against Monfils, and won 40 of 59 points at the net.Monfils showed off his speed and athleticism, sliding across the hard court as though it were made of clay. But he also tried to get too fancy on one point, jumping and bringing his racket around his body and through his legs, when a regular swing

would have sufficed. His at-tempt at a trick shot landed in the net.

“I thought, ‘Please, don’t make it,” Djokovic said. “I have been experiencing that too many times.”

Monfils, meanwhile, was not amused one bit by the how hard it was to handle the wind, which kept changing directions and carried shots this way and that.

“I was completely lost,” Mon-fils said. “Can’t serve. Can’t re-ally use my forehand. You run for what?”

The only man to beat Djok-ovic at the past three U.S. Opens was Fededer—in the 2007 final, and the 2008-09 semifinals.The first women’s semifinal was set

up on Tuesday, when a pair of two-time winners at Flushing Meadows, No. 2 Kim Clijsters and No. 3 Venus Williams, each won.

Anton reclaims Vuelta leadIgor Anton reclaimed the Spanish

Vuelta’s overall lead by winning his sec-ond stage Wednesday with a tough up-hill climb to the finish.

Anton surrendered the leader’s red jer-sey to Joaquin Rodriguez a day earlier, but edged Ezequiel Mosquera of Xa-cobeo Galicia after breaking away over the last kilometer for a 3-second edge in the 11th stage. Anton finished the 129.5-mile ride in 5 hours, 25 minutes, 44 seconds.

“It was a little too close,” said An-ton, who rides for Euskaltel Euskadi. “I wasn’t expecting to win—I was mostly looking to go for the red jersey and to put some distance between myself and the competition.

Xavier Tondo ensured a Spanish top-three as the Cervelo cyclist finished 10 seconds behind Anton. Rodriguez was 59 seconds behind in 17th to surrender his overnight lead.

“I managed to regulate my rhythm and it turned out OK,” Anton said. “There’s

still a lot of racing left but I feel good. I’m going well and my body is respond-ing to the demands.”

Mosquera jumped ahead of the pack near the finish and, although Rodriguez initially stayed with his fellow Spanish rider, the Katusha cyclist faded with just over a mile remaining.

Anton blew past Rodriguez and Vin-cenzo Nibali of Italy before finding an extra push to beat Mosquera in a leg that ended with a sharp 600-meter ascent to the finish line in the neighboring princi-pality of Andorra.

Anton’s overall time halfway through the 65th edition of the Spanish classic is 47:37:15, good enough for a 45-sec-ond advantage over Nibali of Liquigas-Doimo. Luxembourg’s Frank Schleck is 10th overall—2:30 behind, while defending champion Denis Menchov slipped 8:55 back in 28th.

The 12th stage Thursday is a 107.2-mile leg back into Spain, to the city of Lleida.

chasers of any of the value parking passes offered by the town would be exempt from this fee.

Value passes, some of which are available only to Vail employees while others can be purchased by any-one for a variety of rates, offer discounted parking for those who visit often. Vail Mayor Dick Cleveland pro-posed a flat discount of 40 to 50 percent off the normal rates for parking pass owners, but the council could not come to a clear consensus on the new rate structure for the passes. They instead asked Director of Public Works and Transportation Greg Hall to return with more information regarding rates and volume of traffic

throughout the season.According a report presented by Hall, there will be

172 less free parking spaces in the town’s parks, trail heads and along frontage roads than last year. Several trail heads will be closed to parking altogether, the larg-est being the end of Bighorn Road. The 75 spaces that had been available in the Wendy’s parking lot will no longer be available.

After concluding the parking discussion, the coun-cil addressed the issue of winter parking on the town’s North and South Frontage roads, and the extent to which parking for Vail Mountain should be the respon-

sibility of the town or of the resort.The council agreed to work with Vail Resorts to find

a collaborative solution, and agreed to leverage the re-sort by setting Aug. 31, 2011 as a deadline for reaching a compromise between the resort and the town. If the deadline is not met, the town will limit parking on the frontage roads to 15 days during the winter season.

No final decisions were made regarding the town’s winter parking plan at the meeting. The final vote will come after public comment and further review by the council and staff at their next meeting on Sept. 21.

nizers of lacrosse or soccer tournaments to choose Vail for their events, he said.

• A remodel and expansion of the Vail Village welcome center to include a community space for events.

• The installation of town-wide sig-nage and information to help guide visi-tors through the area. “As far as guest

information, we seem to be in the 19th, maybe the 20th century, but we certainly ain’t in the 21st century,” Logan said. Mayor Dick Cleveland proposed that the system be similar to the signs and map-ping you’d find at Disney theme parks.

Logan encouraged the council to take action quickly, saying that by acting dur-

ing the recession the town could not only take advantage of low construction costs but also provide a much-needed boost to the local economy.

“The $9 million in and of itself is an economic stimulus,” he said. The win-dow of opportunity is a small one, he added, pointing toward upcoming events

like Vail’s 50th anniversary in 2012 and the World Ski Championships, which Vail will host in 2015.

“I think we can rally the town,” Logan said. “We can rally the town by saying that we’re now getting off the defensive. We’re going to spend this money not frivolously, but I think productively.”

plained Vail Valley Foundation president Ceil Folz, “the Coordination Commis-sion meetings are extremely important as they will establish the groundwork for how we work with our FIS, EBU and Tridem Sports partners to ensure that the 2015 World Championships are the best they can possibly be.”

Representing the FIS on the visit will be Secretary General Sarah Lewis, Com-munications Manager Riikka Rakic and Event and Sponsor Manager Marcel Looze. The EBU will be represented by Ingolfur Hannesson, head of Winter

The three-day Coordination Com-mission gathering will include tours of proposed venues along with meetings to discuss a wide range of topics relating to the planning and preparations for the 2015 World Championships.

Vail and Beaver Creek will play host to annual visits from the Coordination Commission, while also sending delega-tions to additional events and meetings for reporting and study purposes.

est Service manage the attack against the pine beetle infestation.The Forest Service has identified the trouble spots it will focus on, Young said.“We now have a fairly good level of precision in where they’re planning to apply

the money,” Young said.However, most of the money hasn’t been spent yet.“It can take some time for an agency to identify areas and go through the process

of environmental analysis and review,” Young said.Last week, the regional Forest Service office in Denver said the agency has re-

moved beetle-killed trees from 268 campgrounds and along 89 miles of trails over the past nine months. Forest managers said contractors have removed beetle-infested trees from along 258 miles of roads.

Udall will continue to monitor the pace of the work and try to help with any ob-stacles, Young said.

The senator has also said that more money is needed to respond to the epidemic that has killed more than 3.5 million acres of pine trees in Colorado and southeast-ern Wyoming. He is sponsoring a bill to provide more funds and streamline projects aimed at clearing out dead trees that forest managers say pose a wildfire risk and threaten recreation areas, roads, power lines and people when they fall.

Bark-beetle killed trees were fueling a 100-acre wildfire burning west of Laramie, Wyo., on Wednesday but infested trees weren’t a factor a 6,168-acre wildfire in the Boulder foothills. That fire is burning at lower elevations in ponderosa pine trees, well to the east of stands of infected lodgepole pine, said Ryan Lockwood, a spokes-man for the Colorado State Forest Service.

Some researchers don’t believe that the beetles increase chances of wildfires. They argue that lodgepole pine are fire-prone anyway and that climate — hot, dry weather — is the driver behind forest fires.

The beetles burrow into the trees and lay eggs, eventually killing the trees. The bugs have infested forests in some of the region’s most scenic areas, including Colo-rado mountain resorts and Rocky Mountain National Park.

While bark beetle infestations are considered part of natural cycles, experts say drought and warmer temperatures make the current outbreak worse. The re-gion hasn’t had prolonged freezing temperatures that would help kill the bugs, and drought has weakened the trees.

Other Western states with beetle infestations are Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington. More than 30 million acres have been affected in western Canada.
