THE UPDATE

Ski and Snowboard Club Vail, the winning team at yesterday’s inau-gural Conway Cup, raced without GS suits and on slalom skis, but they earned a chance to race against some ski race legends and big-time celebs in Friday’s Ford Cup pro-am.

The team – Georgia Wettlaufer, Eugennia Manseau, Tiffany Hov-ersten and Barrett Stein – said they were pleasantly surprised with the win.

“It was fun and turny. I had my slalom skis on, which turned out to be a good thing,” said Stein. “It was my first time racing in about 22 years – just kind of got thrown in the mix and we were lucky enough to come out with some fast times.”

Manseau, who works at Ski and

Snowboard Club Vail, said the team is stoked to be racing in the Ford Cup. “We’ve watched it for many years. We never thought we’d par-ticipate in it and now we are,” she said with a laugh.

The Conway Cup is named and run in memory of Dan Conway, a great friend to ski racing at all lev-els throughout the Vail Valley, who passed away in May of 2009.

Through his position as Director of Racing for Vail and Vail Resorts, he played a key role in all com-petitions held on Vail and Beaver Creek Mountains, from World Cup to NASTAR, including the annual Korbel American Ski Classic.

“While Dan worked for Vail Re-sorts, he really was a part of the Vail Valley Foundation family,” said

Vail Valley Foundation President Ceil Folz. “With the races that we do here – both the Ski Classic and World Cup – Dan was, for twenty years, instrumental and key to both of those events.”

“It’s left a big hole for all of us, and we’re happy to start filling that hole with the Conway Cup,” she went on. “It’s really only right, as critical as Dan was to the success of the Ski Classic, that now he has a part in it forever more.”

The Ford Cup, which starts Fri-day, features head-to-head competi-tion, with teams captained by some of the greatest names in ski racing history and comprised of celebri-ties, sponsors and paid participants.

Vail loves the ladies …The Vail Golf Club has been named Most

Female-Friendly golf course by Colorado Avid Golfer magazine in its “2010 Best of Colorado Golf” section. The magazine at-tributed the award to the leadership of Vail Golf Club Director Alice Plain who will enter her fourth year as the golf club’s di-rector this season. It also recognized the golf club for hosting the Colorado Wom-en’s Golf Association event in 2009, as well as introducing programs to attract players of all ability levels.

“I’m thrilled the Vail Golf Club has been recognized for its friendliness and play-ability,” said Plain. “We continually strive to create new and offer existing programs for all ability levels and all players. This summer will be no exception and we’re looking forward to a great season.”

Women rule at the Vail Golf ClubIn the typically male-dominated golf

world, Alice Plain is the director of golf at the Vail Golf Club, a public course with stunning views of the Gore Range; Jeanne Sutherland is the head golf professional.

The duo are the only top No. 1 and No. 2 female golf managers in the state, accord-ing to the Professional Golf Association — and probably two of the few top female managers in the country.

Nationally, there are just 24 females in director of golf positions, Plain said in an interview with the Vail Mountaineer last summer.

“It’s quite unusual. It’s just been a male-dominated business for so many years,” Plain said. “More women are get-ting into the business, but it’s a good ol’

Scott McInnis, Republican candidate for Colorado governor, yesterday issued the following statement after winning nearly 61 percent of the vote in a pref-erence poll among attendees at the 2010 Republican precinct caucuses:

“I’m grateful to every one of our fellow Coloradans who took the time to participate in our political system by attending precinct caucuses. It’s truly democracy in action, and these Republican men and women showed their commitment to turn our state away from the Dem-

ocrat record of higher taxes and spending and toward a path of prosperity.

“The caucuses mark an important first formal step in our nominating process, and this very strong show of support among grassroots Republican activists pro-vides us with a solid shot of momentum as we move forward. We’re heading right back out on the cam-paign trail, working hard to earn every vote we can in every Colorado county.

“Jump-starting Colorado’s economy and sparking job creation by rejecting tax hikes and restoring fiscal responsibility is what I will do as Governor, and that message is resonating with people across the state. It’s this common-sense message that I will share with vot-ers across Colorado all the way to November.”

Known to some as “The American Nile,” the Colorado river, runs 1,450 miles, through seven states and two countries, sustaining the water sup-ply of the West and the economies of 30 million people.

At the Lodge and Spa at Cordil-lera Monday night, photographer and Colorado native Peter McBride shared his latest project: document-ing the state of the river from source to sea.

McBride made the journey with au-thor and adventurer John Waterman who paddled the entire length of the river in a whitewater raft and calls the Colorado, “the most imperiled river in the West.” Their presentation was part of the continuing Vail Sympo-sium’s free Speaking Locally Series.

The river is imperiled, McBride said, because of outdated water con-tracts throughout the West, a 10-year running drought, and diminished snow pack.

McBride began with photographs taken in the mountainous region of the Colorado, working his way south through Lake Powell and Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam, touching on the fight to protect endangered species of fish, such as the Humpback Chub in the Grand Canyon.

“The level of water that runs through the canyon is directly related to the amount of air conditioners running in Phoenix,” said McBride. “Right now, there are scientists documenting the birth rate of the Humpback Chud ... and the river’s actually getting to the point where policy may be driven by species that depend on certain flows instead of those people running their air conditioning in Phoenix.”

The breathtaking photographs ranged from sweeping aerial shots to underwater life to industrial farms de-pendent on irrigation from the river. McBride continued with juxtaposed images illustrating water use in Las Vegas and Phoenix.

“Vegas always gets beaten up about their water use, but there’s another side of the story, all of these pools have a closed circuit system that re-cycles the water...Vegas is very ac-tively trying to conserve their water,” McBride said.

Comparative shots in Phoenix showed housing projects surrounded in water, fields of green agriculture in the middle of arid desert and a failed shrimp farm built in the 1980s.

“Whereas Vegas is being a little more conservative, Phoenix has a lot more comparatively hosing proj-ects like this one ... 150 golf courses, most of which are not xeriscaped — in fact, some that get resodded every year,” he said.

McBride ended at the Sea of Cor-tez, with photos of its once swelling delta from 1922 juxtaposed with the barren landscape of present day pho-tos.

“You used to be able to take a steam ship through it — if you wanted to get from San Francisco to Mexico you’d take the Delta — as you can see you can’t do that any more,” he said.

Waterman and McBride’s project will be made into a book, tentatively tiled “‘The Colorado River: From Snow to Seas.”

Their hope is to bring awareness to the plight of the Colorado and its en-dangered species.

“I say that it’s a river running dry, but it is dry ... the reality is it doesn’t take much to fix it it’s just a matter of political will,” said McBride. “That’s the one positive note It can be fixed, it’s just a matter of do we want to fix it?”

For more information about the project, look for more information in May at petermcbride.com and johnwaterman.com. A new Web site, savethecolorado.org, is set to launch in April.

The Avon Town Council would like to remind residents that Avon is in the heart of bear and mountain lion habitat. Resi-dents and guests alike should be aware and take precautions to avoid human / wildlife interaction. As the weather gets warmer, bears are coming out of hiber-nation and mountain lions are tracking migrating deer herds. There have been reported sightings of mountain lion in Avon recently.

Bears become active in mid-march and

are hungry after their winter hibernation. With a nose that’s 100 times more sensi-tive than humans, a bear can smell food five miles away. Their natural diet is grasses, berries, fruits, nuts and plants, but will resort to persistent scavenging when they find an easy human-provided food source.

The public is advised to take precau-tions by keeping doors and windows closed and locked; remove tree limbs that might provide access by a climb-

ing bear to upper level decks and win-dows; get rid of wildlife attractants like bird feeders and dog food; burn food off from barbeque grills and clean after each use, and don’t leave food, trash, coolers, or air fresheners outdoors or in your ve-hicle. It is also recommended that dogs and cats be kept indoors unless the pet owner is with their pet outside.

As a reminder, it is against town or-dinance to intentionally or unintention-ally feed wildlife. Trash should only be

placed out on collection days and no ear-lier than 6 a.m.

The Avon Police Department should be contacted if the animal is in a trash can, is in close proximity to a house, is near children, or appears to be a threat to domestic animals. For more informa-tion, contact the Avon Police Department at 970-748-4040.

Tonight’s Vail Valley music scene

Holden Young Trio at the Coyote Café, Beaver Creek

The Holden Young Trio of Boulder is redefining the experience and the sound of the power-trio. “With just guitar, bass and drums there is a certain flexibility that allows us to change songs on the fly every night and for each of our instruments to shine throughout the tunes,” says Holden. “And it seems to be working.”

Since beginning the Holden Young Trio project in 2006 in Colorado, Holden has performed with the Disco Biscuits, JJ Grey & Mofro, the Motet, Outformation, Chris Littlefield of Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe, and regional acts such as Yamn, Hot Soup, DVS and Juno What?! Music kicks off at 9:30 p.m. No Cover.

Shakedown Street at Samana, Vail Village

In the live music venues of the Rocky Mountain region, there are only a few bands that consistently draw large crowds. One of the more notorious is Shakedown Street featuring local Jake Wolf on drums. By virtue of their success, they have proven that Grateful Dead music is an American musical institution that is rallied by hundreds of thousands and hard to resist. By necessity and demand, there are literally dozens of Grateful Dead cover bands in this country. However, Shakedown Street has gar-nered a national reputation as being the mother of all Dead bands. They’re playing back-to-back nights at 10 p.m.

Steve Meyer followed by Matt and Ted at The Club, Vail Village

If you’re looking for an après ski show that is not suited for the entire family, rather for people who like to party – a show that encourages a healthy amount of drinking, raunchy jokes and good times – Steve Meyer, at The Club in Vail Village, offers that alternative. Music kicks off at 5 p.m.

Then, at 10 p.m., the acoustic rock/pop duo of Ted Hammock and Matt Fisher is influenced by G. Love, Dispatch, Sublime and Jack Johnson. “I love more chill

stripped down acoustic music,” says Hammock. “I love the gauntlet of human emo-tion and the feelings that people experience.”

RUHA at Sandbar, West VailRuha is a four-headed love machine! Collectively, the band has more than 20 years

of touring experience. Ruha can play a three-minute rock song, a country stomp, or a twenty-minute exploration of music within a song. The Band is fresh and different every time they step on stage. Ruha means Air, Breath & Atmosphere and that is exactly what the band creates with their music. Between all the members they have opened for or shared the stage with Phil Lesh & Friends, Steve Kimock & Crazy Engine, John Dawson & David Nelson (New Riders of the Purple Sage), Martin Fi-erro (Legion Of Mary), Hot Tuna, David Lindley (Jackson Browne), moe., Leftover Salmon, Blues Traveler and Spin Doctor’s.

Cowboy Mouth at the American Ski Classic stage, Golden Peak

It’s been said that if The Neville Brothers and The Clash got together, they would produce Cowboy Mouth’s sound. Cowboy Mouth presents straight forward, high energy New Orleans rock ‘n’ roll in a take-no-prisoners style that has bolstered their fan base around the nation and given their shows a “can’t miss” reputation. “...on a bad night they’ll tear the roof off the joint and on a good night, they’ll save your soul.” — Cake Magazine

Show starts at 6 p.m., immediately following the 2010 Korbel American Ski Clas-sic Volvo Legends Giant Slalom Awards ceremony, scheduled for 5:55 p.m.

Woods’ return criticizedWorld No.1 Tiger Woods’ planned return at the

Masters drew plenty of criticism yesterday, mainly from the international press.

Daily Mirror columnist Oliver Holt took plenty of cheap shots at Woods.

“How typical of the man to hijack the world’s most famous golf tournament,” Holt wrote. “How could he turn Augusta into a circus like this? Does his vanity know no limits?”

The Daily Telegraph’s Mark Reason questioned the 34-year-old Woods for making his return so soon after his famous apology.

“All that halting guff about maybe returning to golf one day was just a great big fib,” Reason wrote with little reason. “Tiger, Tiger, pants on fire, nose as long as a telephone wire.

In the Toronto Star, columnist Dave Perkins made fun of Woods’ extramarital affairs.

“So that’s what Tiger Woods meant when he said he would be fighting the temptations: He’s coming back to golf at a club that doesn’t allow women,” wrote Perkins.

Not everyone attacked the billionaire golfer, how-ever. French sports daily L’Equipe had only a small news story about Woods’ return, while Italian paper La Gazzetta dello Sport featured a full page on the announcement, saying the Masters was the natural place for him to come back.

Kenny Perry, who said Tuesday that he is ex-tremely thankful for Tiger’s existence in his sport, also commented.

“He’s had long stretches off in the past and he’s come back and won the first week out. I don’t see how people do that,” Perry said Wednesday at the Transitions Championship. “I really don’t under-stand that. I cannot process that in my head. I think he needs to get competitiveness somewhere.”

Perry didn’t hear all the news about Woods, so he assumed he was at least playing in the Tavistock Cup.

“He’s not playing in that either?” he said. “Well, he’s going to astound us all if he goes out there and wins the thing.”

Rangers manager tests positive for cocaine

Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington admitted he made a “huge mistake” when he used cocaine and failed a Major League Baseball drug test last season.

In his first public admission, he apologized yester-day for his behavior, eight months after he told Rangers president Nolan Ryan, who turned down Washington’s offer to resign.

“I made a huge mistake and it almost caused me to lose everything I have worked for all of my life,” Washington said at a news conference yesterday. “I am not here to make excuses. There are none.”

Washington said he used cocaine only once and called it “stupid” and “shameful.”

Riccardo Ricco returns to cycling after doping ban

Winner of two stages on the 2008 Tour, Riccardo Ricco is ready to race again after serving a 20-month ban for doping.

The ban expires Thursday and Ricco’s first race back will be the five-day Coppi & Bartali event in Italy next week.

Ricco has joined the Ceramica Flaminia team and says “this is a second

debut for me. I’ve really worked hard to prepare myself for this new opportunity. Cycling is my job and from now on I won’t make the mistakes I made in the past.”

Ricco tested positive for CERA, an advanced version of the banned blood-boosting hormone EPO. The doping ban occurred at the 2008 Tour.

bank oversight to set interest rates and gauge the health of the banking system.

A Senate bill to overhaul financial regulation would strip the Fed of its power to supervise state-chartered banks and bank holding companies with assets of less than $50 billion. That would leave the Fed to over-see only 35 big bank holding companies. Critics have blamed lax regulation at the Fed and at other agencies for contributing to the financial crisis.

Testifying to the House Financial Services Commit-tee, Bernanke once again acknowledged that the Fed’s past regulatory failures played a role in the crisis. But he said, as he has before, that the central bank has im-proved its regulatory oversight.

Fox News exhibits impatience; Obama stifledPresident Barack Obama sat down with “Special

Report” anchor Bret Baier in the executive mansion’s Blue Room to talk about a health care plan that is inch-ing toward final passage. Several times Obama chided Baier for breaking into his lengthy answers with fol-low-up questions.

“Bret, you’ve got to let me finish my answers,” Obama told Baier, the news channel’s White House correspondent during the Bush administration. “Sir,” Baier responded, “I know you don’t like to filibuster, but ...”

“Well,” Obama said in cutting him off again, “I’m trying to answer your question and you keep on inter-rupting.”

The tone was set early. Baier first asked about the lat-est efforts in the House to pass the bill, which elicited Obama’s standard talking points about the benefits of the overhaul effort. Baier tried to bring Obama back to the question. “Bret, let me finish,” Obama said.

An unhappy Obama completed his answer, repeating his familiar reasons why lawmakers should pass legis-lation that would deliver the White House a victory on its top domestic priority during an election year when Democrats face tough prospects.

Baier wrapped up the interview by noting the ten-sion. “I apologize for interrupting you, sir,” he said. “I tried to get the most for our buck here.”

Health care still kickingPresident Barack Obama’s sweeping health care leg-

islation won precious support from a longtime liberal holdout in the House on Wednesday and from Catho-lic nuns representing dozens of religious orders, gain-ing fresh traction in the run-up to a climactic weekend vote.

“That’s a good sign,” said Obama, two weeks after taking personal command of a campaign to enact legis-lation in what has become a virtual vote of confidence on his still-young presidency.

But Democrats delayed the planned release of for-mal legislation at least until Thursday as they sought to make sure it would reduce federal deficits annually

over the next decade. At the White House, Obama met with Richard Trumka, the head of the AFL-CIO. Of-ficials said the labor leader raised concerns over the details of a planned excise tax on high-cost insurance plans as well as other elements of the as-yet-unreleased legislation.

Hawaii House committee says there is such a thing

as a stupid questionBirthers beware: Hawaii may start ignoring your re-

peated requests for proof that President Barack Obama was born here.

As the state continues to receive e-mails seeking Obama’s birth certificate, the state House Judiciary Committee heard a bill Tuesday permitting govern-ment officials to ignore people who won’t give up.

“Sometimes we may be dealing with a cohort of people who believe lack of evidence is evidence of a conspiracy,” said Lorrin Kim, chief of the Hawaii De-partment of Health’s Office of Planning, Policy and Program Development.

So-called “birthers” claim Obama is ineligible to be president because, they argue, he was actually born outside the United States, and therefore doesn’t meet a constitutional requirement for being president. Hawaii Health Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino issued statements last year and in October 2008 saying that she’s seen vital records that prove Obama is a natural-born Ameri-can citizen.

Crack cocaine sentencing weakened

Legislation approved by the Senate on Wednesday would significantly reduce the disparity in sentences handed out to those convicted of crack and powder co-caine charges.

Currently, a person convicted of crack cocaine pos-session gets the same mandatory jail time as someone with 100 times the same quantity of powder cocaine. That 100-1 ratio has been particularly hard on the black community, where convictions on federal crack laws are more prevalent. Under the measure, approved by a voice vote, the ratio would be reduced to 18-1.

Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., who worked out the legis-lation with Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans, said he had initially wanted a straight 1-to-1 ratio, but that the final product was a good bipartisan compro-mise.

Mexican turf wars cause ancillary casualties

Elodia Ortiz drops her children at school in the morn-ing, picks them up in the afternoon and makes an occa-sional trip to the supermarket. Anything else, she says, is too dangerous.

Parents in Ciudad Juarez, just across the border from

El Paso, Texas, are afraid to venture into the streets amid a turf war between two powerful drug cartels that has left more than 4,500 people dead during the past two years. Their fears spiked last weekend when hit men attacked two white SUVs leaving a birthday party, killing parents from two U.S. Consulate families in front of their screaming children.

The violence has risen to such levels in Ciudad Juar-ez that everyone feels at risk in the city of 1.3 million, where innocent people have been increasingly caught in the crossfire. Hit men have gone to wrong addresses or shot indiscriminately into homes, mowing down not only the targeted people but also anyone nearby.

Virginian men face terrorism charges

A Pakistani court charged five young Americans on Wednesday with planning terrorist attacks in the South Asian country and conspiring to wage war against na-tions allied with Pakistan, their defense lawyer said.

The men — all Muslims from the Washington sub-urb of Alexandria, Virginia — pleaded not guilty to a total of five charges, the most severe of which carries a maximum sentence of life in prison, defense lawyer Hasan Dastagir told The Associated Press.

“My clients were in good shape and high spirits,” Dastagir said. The men, all in their late teens or early 20s, were charged by an anti-terrorism court inside a prison in Sargodha, the city in Punjab province where they were arrested in December. They were reported missing by their families in November after one left behind a farewell video showing scenes of war and ca-sualties and saying Muslims must be defended.

Their lawyer has said they were heading to Afghani-stan and had no plans to stage attacks inside Pakistan. The court also charged the men with planning attacks on Afghan and U.S. territory, said Dastagir. The charg-es did not specify what was meant by U.S. territory but could be a reference to American bases or diplomatic outposts in Afghanistan.

Taliban in Afghanistan wage war of intimidationA month after losing control of their southern base in

Marjah, the Taliban have begun to fight back, launch-ing a campaign of assassination and intimidation to frighten people from supporting the U.S. and its Af-ghan allies.

At least one alleged government sympathizer has been beheaded. There are rumors that others have been killed. Afghans in the town that U.S., Afghan and NATO troops captured in a three-week assault that be-gan Feb. 13 awake to letters posted on their doors warn-ing against helping the troops. Winning public support in this former Taliban stronghold in Helmand province 360 miles southwest of Kabul is considered essential to preventing insurgents from returning.

The Marjah operation will serve as a model for cam-paigns elsewhere, including one expected by summer

to secure villages around Kandahar, the Taliban’s spiri-tual birthplace and the largest city in the south.

Al-Qaeda seeks leadershipAggressive attacks against al-Qaeda in Pakistan’s

tribal region have driven Osama bin Laden and his top deputies deeper into hiding and disrupted their ability to plan sophisticated operations, CIA Director Leon Panetta yesterday in a Washington Post report.

So profound is al-Qaeda’s disarray that one of its lieutenants, in a recently intercepted message, pleaded with bin Laden to come to the group’s rescue and pro-vide some leadership, Panetta said in the Post’s report. Panetta credited improved coordination with Pakistan’s government in the Post’s report and what he called “the most aggressive operation that CIA has been involved in, in our history,” offering a near-acknowledgment of what is officially a secret war.

“Those operations are seriously disrupting al-Qae-da,” Panetta said in the Post’s article. “It’s pretty clear from all the intelligence we are getting that they are having a very difficult time putting together any kind of command and control, that they are scrambling. And that we really do have them on the run.”

Russia set to drill the Arctic

Russia must defend its claims to mineral riches of the Arctic in increasing competition with other powers, President Dmitry Medvedev said yesterday. Medvedev said global climate change will likely fuel arguments between nations seeking access to energy and other re-sources.

“Other polar nations already have taken active steps to expand their scientific research as well as economic and even military presence in the Arctic,” he told a ses-sion of the presidential Security Council. Medvedev added that attempts have been made to limit Russia’s access to Arctic resources, but he didn’t name a specific nation.

“Regrettably, we have seen attempts to limit Russia’s access to the exploration and development of the Arc-tic mineral resources,” he said. “That’s absolutely inad-missible from the legal viewpoint and unfair given our nation’s geographical location and history.”

Tomas, the cyclone that could complicate things

for FijiA powerful cyclone destroyed more than half the

houses in many villages in northern Fiji, but only one death has been reported, officials said yesterday. The full extent of the damage from Cyclone Tomas has yet to be determined because communications to the hard-est-hit areas remain cut off and may not be restored before the weekend.

The South Pacific island nation has sent naval pa-trol boats laden with supplies to the northern islands

that bore the full brunt of the storm, while Australian and New Zealand air force planes airlifted emergency supplies and began a second day of surveillance of the area.

A nationwide curfew was lifted Wednesday, but a state of emergency will remain in effect for 30 days in the country’s northern and eastern divisions, where aid agencies say up to 130,000 people were affected by the storm.

Yemini-American cleric calls for action

against U.S.A Yemeni-American Muslim preacher known for his

ties to extremists operating in the U.S. called on Ameri-can Muslims in a new audio message to turn against their government because of its actions against Mus-lims around the world. Anwar al-Awlaki’s latest mes-sage, excerpts of which were aired on CNN Wednesday, described his own radicalization after U.S. operations against Muslims and called on those in the U.S. to fol-low his path.

“I eventually came to the conclusion that jihad against America is binding upon myself just as it is binding on every other Muslim,” he said in his American-accented English. SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors ex-tremist Web Sites, confirmed the existence of the audio message when contacted by The Associated Press. “To

the Muslims in America I have this to say, how can your conscience allow you to live in peaceful coexistence with a nation responsible for the tyranny and crimes against your own brothers and sisters?” he asked. “How can you have loyalty to a government leading the war against Islam and Muslims?”

Jay-Z spurs man to jump into bed with another man

Police say a man broke into a Pittsburgh home and climbed into bed with its owner, appar-ently because he was drunk and cold following a rap concert, re-ports the Cana-dian Press. “Ho-meowner Frank Fontana says he was in bed when the man climbed in about 5:30 Wednesday morning. Fon-tana says he asked whether it was a woman who has keys to his home - and he grabbed a baseball bat when a deep male voice answered, ‘No, it’s not,’ reports the Canadian Press. “Police say Fontana kept the man at bay until police arrived but didn’t hit him with the bat.”

“Police say the intruder told them he was looking for shelter after a Tuesday night concert by rapper Jay-Z at the Mellon Arena,” according to the Canadian Press. “The man, 33, faces a preliminary hearing on charges of criminal mischief and criminal trespass.”

What happened to the courtesy wave?

An Edmonton man who used his middle finger to flag down a cruiser in northern Ontario has been charged with stolen property offences, according to the Cana-dian Press.

The cruiser with the Kenora detachment stopped af-ter officers noticed the not-so-polite gesture, and the man asked if he could get a ride to the nearest town. Officers found the man had two-stolen credit cards, a stolen GPS, an iPod charger and a BlackBerry,” reports the Canadian Press, “Police allege the accused had picked up the items during his travels through Winni-peg. Dragutin Cabor, 19, has been charged with posses-sion of property obtained by crime.”

In this image taken from video, destroyed hous-es are seen beside a fallen tree in Tava-Nui, Fiji, Wednesday, March 17, 2010, following Cyclone Tomas hit the country last week. Fiji has suffered overwhelming damage in a powerful weekend cy-clone, the prime minister said yesterday as the first word of houses blown away, trees uprooted, and roads blocked trickled in from regions cut off since the storm.

Loading up on carbs for the communityLions Club spaghetti dinner/silent auction set for Friday

The Eagle Lions Club is hosting its spaghetti dinner and silent auction Friday.

They run one every spring, raise a bunch of money, then spend the rest of the year giving it away.

Of course, they don’t raise money just this one time every year. They give away way too much money for that.

But Friday is a big deal. Hundreds of your closest friends will be in at Eagle Valley Elementary School for the affair.

Just look for the smiling, laughing people in the pur-ple vests and you’ll know you’re in the right place.

“All the money goes to funding projects and requests,” said Tom Verderber, with the local Lions Club.

See there? They raise a bunch of money, then they give it away to do good for people who could use a little good done to them.

“Whenever a Lions club gets together, problems get smaller. We try to help where help is needed, in our own communities and around the world,” Verderber said.

There are a bunch of Lions Clubs around the world. Their 45,000 clubs and more than 1.3 million members

By Randy WyrickMountaineer Staff Writer

in 200 countries makes them one of the world’s largest service club organization.

Just recently, Lions Clubs:• Brought 3,000 volunteers together to build a play-

ground for children of all abilities in California.• Fed 60,000 people in a township in South Africa.

It’s something Lions do there every day.• Sent a team of eye surgeons to Honduras to treat

more than 100 adults and children. Founded in 1917, Lions are best known for fighting

blindness. Their work also includes caring for the en-vironment, feeding the hungry and aiding seniors and the disabled.

Lions travel the globe to do vision screenings, equip hospitals and clinics, distribute medicine and raise awareness of eye disease. , Their international Sight-First Program works to eradicate blindness.

Locally, the money the Lions raise goes to scholar-ships, recreation and mentoring. Their Leo program has approximately 144,000 high school students in 5,700 Leo clubs in more than 140 countries.

Chicago City Limits from New York City pushes the definition of city limits and push-es al the buttons on your funny bone. Chi-cago City Limits is coming to The Vilar Per-forming Arts Center this Sunday, March 21 at 7:30 p.m,; prepare to fall out of your seat. And for those who have been following the local comedy scene at the Bowlmor Cafe and Lounge you are eligible for a special buy one get one ticket offer.

Chicago city limits delivers a show full of fast paced and high energy improv which The New York Times has called “Ingenious and funny,” the Washington Post says is, “Up-roarious and amazing,” and the New York County register of business claims is in fact within New York city limits.

The improv comedy troupe started off as a rag-tag group of performers unified by The Second City comedy workshops in 1977. Three years later the troupe moved to New York and began an Off-Broadway run of more than 8,500 performances. They decided to keep the name Chicago City Limits as a tribute to their origins pushing the limits of the name and taking New York by a storm of laughter.

To get the buy-one-get-one ticket offer call the box office at 845.TIXS and give the code BOWL to redeem the extra ticket. The offer is valid only by calling the box office.

LEFT: Chicago city limits, based out of New York, is coming to the Vilar on Sunday. Popular Eagle comedy venue The Bowlmor Cafe is offering 2-for-1 tickets to the show for all their comedy regulars.

boy’s network.”The two women are definitely de-

serving of their roles in Vail, said Mike Ortiz, executive director of the Vail Recreation District, which has oversight of the club.

“I think both of them are probably — in my opinion — two of the best in the business for what they do,” Ortiz said. “We recognize we’re very lucky to have them.”

Respected across golf worldPlain is well regarded in the in-

dustry because she is very ap-proachable, said Pete Roach, direc-tor of golf at Sonnenalp Golf Club in Edwards.

“That’s why it works, is because she is very matter-of-fact about it,” Roach said. “She doesn’t say, ‘That happened because I’m a female.’ [She’s] just going to deal with the challenges of the job regardless of gender.”

Plain grew up in South Bend, Ind., and learned to play golf from her dad. She went to a Catholic high school that did not allow her to play on the boy’s golf team, even though her parents battled with school ad-ministrators to no avail.

“They were extremely upset, but

there wasn’t a whole lot we could do,” Plain said. “I played other sports, and it was a good school, so I did not transfer.”

That didn’t stop Plain from prac-ticing and playing on her own, how-ever, spending summers at the golf course and playing almost exclu-sively with male golfers.

In college, Plain tried out for the men’s team at Hanover College in southern Indiana, but coaches said there wasn’t enough school funding to pay for her to have her own hotel room when the team traveled. In a fortuitous turn of events, she played in a few tournaments at Oklahoma State University, where she was of-fered a scholarship.

There, her mentor was Ann Pitts, the female coach, who took her teams to 15 conference champion-ships and 15 NCAA championships. Pitts is now retired.

Career paths passed previouslyBefore Plain became director of

golf, her and Sutherland’s career paths had crossed previously at the Vail Golf Club — Sutherland worked as an assistant before serv-ing as the head women’s golf coach at Texas A&M for 12 years. Plain

took the assistant job next, taking on her current role when former director Steve Satterstrom left the valley for the Yellowstone Club in Big Sky, Mont.

Sutherland and Plain have devel-oped successful programs specific to women, bringing more females to the sport in Vail, Plain said.

“When I hired her, I didn’t think about two females in the position,” Plain said. “I hadn’t worked with her before, but I knew she was very well-respected in the community, and her lessons speak volumes.”

See you on the green

The Vail Golf Club is slated to open in May, weather and course conditions permitting. It is nestled at the base of the Gore Mountain Range and presents golfers with a unique 18-hole, par 71 experience at 8,200 feet elevation. The golf club is open to the public and of-fers a full service golf shop, group and corporate outings, professional instruction, launch monitor, driving range, practice area, club storage, golf swing analysis, club rentals, demo days and an on-site restau-rant, Happy Valley Grill.

son teams against each other an effort to move through their respective pools and qualify for the bracket rounds. A total of eight teams will advance, based on their cu-mulative won-lost record over the course of the two days of racing, but only one will emerge victorious.

Volvo Legends GS todayThe American Ski Classic rolls on today with the

Volvo Legends GS.With a number of the Legends heading to Vail straight

from their respective duties in Vancouver, this year’s Legends of Skiing field comes complete with numer-ous Olympic and World Championship medals, not to mention a significant number of career World Cup vic-tories and crowns.

34 men and women Legends have accounted for a total of 22 Olympic medals, 41 World Championships medals, 248 individual World Cup wins, 8 World Cup overall crowns and 20 World Cup discipline titles.

“We all know that our Legends field features some incredible racers,” explained Michael Imhof, Vice President of Sales and Operations for the Vail Valley Foundation, “but I don’t think you realize how special this event really is until you look at the Legends’ ac-complishments as a whole.”

Sharing top honors for the Olympic medal count are Isolde Kostner of Italy, along with Sweden’s Per-nilla Wiberg, each with three. Luxembourg’s Marc Girardelli tops the list of World Championships med-als with 11, including a gold and bronze medal haul at

the 1989 World Alpine Ski Championships in Vail and Beaver Creek.

Girardelli also reigns supreme in the number of career World Cup victories with a total of 46, while American Phil Mahre edges out Austria’s Franz Klammer for the runner-up spot with 27.

The Legends kick out at 4 p.m., which will be fol-lowed immediately by the free Bud Light Street Beat concert, featuring New Orleans rockers Cowboy Mouth, at 6 p.m.
