THE UPDATE

Blustery wind and snowy condi-tions made for an ideal day of cyclo-cross racing as the Cult Cross 2010 returned to the Eagle County Fair-grounds for it’s third annual install-ment yesterday.

The Vail Valley’s only Cyclocross-specific pro racer, Jake Wells, won the elite men’s race after a fierce bat-tle with local legend and pro moun-tain bike racer Jay Henry.

“It felt good to get back out there and get on the bike,” said Wells, who hadn’t raced in a cyclocross event since the national championships December, where he took 12th.

“I was glad to get the win. Any time

Jay Henry’s in a race, you know the competition’s going to be tough.”

Wells, who was recently signed by Hudz/Suburu, said course conditions were ideal as the moisture from the previous days made for a tacky and fast surface. The course featured a variety of power and technical sec-tions, which favored the best all around Cyclocrossers on the day.

Cyclocross is like mountain bik-ing, only the courses feature steep hills and obstacles requiring the rider to quickly dismount and carry the bike while navigating the obstruction and remount.

Cyclocross riders use a road bike outfitted with mountain bike tires, but many of the participants at Cult Cross ride traditional mountain bikes.

The sport is huge in Belgium, The Netherlands and the Czech Republic, and is quickly gaining popularity in Vermont, New Hampshire and has now made its way out west.

Iran sends the olive branch backFaced with the prospect of new sanc-

tions because of Iran’s nuclear defiance, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Saturday that new penalties would only strengthen the country’s technological progress by encouraging it to become more self-sufficient. In a speech, Ah-madinejad also rejected President Ba-rack Obama’s offers of engagement, saying “three or four beautiful words” don’t mean U.S. policies have changed under his administration.

“They say they have extended a hand to Iran, but the Iranian government and nation declined to welcome that,” he said. “What kind of hand did you extend towards the Iranian nation? What has

Town Council elections Tuesday

Eagle’s town board candidates are about kum-by-ya and the coin.

The Eagle River Station election split the town politi-cally, but it’s time for the town to put it behind them and be about the business of business.

“The town is divided and we must fix that,” said can-didate Brandi Resa. “We must bring more business to town, but we should look beyond sales taxes. Grants are available to a wide variety of projects from many sources.”

Five candidates are running for three open seats. Mikel “Pappy” Kerst is the only incumbent. Scott Tur-nipseed and Scot Webster have been serving on the town’s planning commission. Resa and Matt Mueller are newcomers to community politics.

Eagle residents have always touted their community spirit, and their town board candidates say it’s impor-tant to keep it alive and growing.

“It’s about the feel,” said Scot Webster. “Eagle ranked

highest among Western Slope towns for community. The town and the volunteers are responsible for most of that, and ERS cannot be allowed to to come into the middle of that.”

Money still matters, said Webster.“You have to run your town like you would your

family,” Webster said. “When you’re short of revenue you have to adjust accordingly.”

The town annexed the 100 acres on which Eagle Riv-er Station was to be built, and zoned if for commercial development. Eagle’s new community plan slates it for commercial and retail space.

“Before another large project comes before the town like that, let’s sit down and decide what we want to see and where. That way we can negotiate with the security of knowing what people want,” Kerst said.

Turnipseed and Webster have been helping update Eagle’s community plan.

“In the updated eagle area community plan, that area is targeted for retail and commercial,” Turnipseed said. “I don’t think it’s a good place for residential.”

“We should get together and determine what it is we would approve, before the town board sits down with a developer,” Mueller said

“We cannot be at the mercy of developers,” Resa

said. “I am not against development, but it has to be smart development.”

On the other side of town, at the mouth of the Brush Creek Valley, Eagle is looking at the looming Haymead-ow project, 660 acres of largely residential building.

“I think the Brush Creek Valley is one of the most beautiful places in the area,” Webster said. “We need to do everything we can to keep that country lane feel.”

Back to business, with Eagle River Station sidelined for now, the town is encouraging infill development – business within the existing town. But the infrastruc-ture costs are prohibitive.

“Water and sewer is a big issue, and a developer would have to be willing to stand for part of that,” Kerst said. “It would cost more than $100 million for a total price for infrastructure projects. We’ve come some small dis-tance, and we need to keep working on it. We also need to figure out how to pay for it.”

Turnipseed touted business recruitment, infill devel-opment and tourism.

“I’m a big proponent of tourism-based recreation,” said candidate Scott Turnipseed. “We have great fish-ing, hunting, mountain biking, and we have one of the world’s best ski area 30 miles away.”

Minturn’s candidates have widely varying views on a variety of issues. Like most elections, this one revolves around issues related to money, and how to generate business in their town. Here’s some of the views shared at the town’s recent candidate’s forum.

Hawkeye FlahertyOn economic growth: We’re becoming a bedroom

community. I look around at people and I wonder how many times you have gone to restaurants in town, in-stead of going out of town. We used to have a grocery store, a hardware store, a drug store. Now people buy their groceries in Vail or Avon. We live between two of the greatest ski resorts in the world. We need to figure out how to steal a few of those customers, and get them to spend a little time in Minturn.

On pressing environmental issues: The Superfund site. If you turn your eye away from it, they let it go. Viacom walked away from their responsibili-ties, and the council raised hell. They let the ditches fill up and then the cul-verts clogged. Some of that contaminated runoff found its way to the river, and the years of cleanup and mitigation work were compromised.

On working with Eagle County government: We

have been working with the county. We go down and discuss population growth, but we have a couple com-missioners who are anti-growth. In the past few years I’ve seen the relationship improve dramatically. I think we’re moving forward and a lot of the problems of the past are behind us.

On working with other council members: It takes four to make a decision, and that means sometimes you’re going to be on the losing side of a question. Whatever you do, don’t take this personally. It’s just business. You have to take a vote and be businesslike about it.

Jerry BaumgartnerOn economic growth: I have suggested waiving fees

for startup businesses. The competition is 20 times greater than it was just 20 years ago. Waive the building fees so people can get construction started now while the economy is slow. The foremost priority is to pro-mote business.

On pressing environ-mental issues: The EPA has to be reminded that the mine site might be about to fall in.

On working with Eagle County government: We have meetings to discuss issues, and how we can work together to solve them. Everyone pays taxes, and we need to remember that we’re all in this together. As difficult as this reces-sion has been, Minturn can be proud that we have not had to fire or furlough one employee. The county can-not say that.

On working with other council members: Those 4-3 votes tell me that democracy is working. I try to serve

the citizens, but you won’t please everyone all the time.

Frank LorentiOn economic growth: I’ve come before the town

council asking them to waive the water fees, and I’ve been shot down. Minturn folks voted for the $180 million annexation pack-age because it would re-juvenate this town. Most of the problems we face could be solved with that money. It could fund the improvements we need to make the town more at-tractive. I’ve been outspo-ken that we should hold the developer accountable for the money Minturn is owed. I’m running to create a more business-friendly environment. Lorenti runs Minturntimes.com.

On pressing environmental issues: Workforce hous-ing going in on Forest Land needs to be handled prop-erly, especially when it comes to wildlife mitigation. Solar panels on public buildings would cut energy costs and make our community more green and the energy consumption more sustainable.

On working with Eagle County government: We’re not moving forward, we’re standing still and going backward, and the county cutting ECO bus service once a day to Minturn has not helped. It needs to be a cooperative relationship that’s beneficial to both sides.

On working with other council members: We should be creative, open minded, treat people fairly and respect each others opinions. Give everyone on the council a fair shake and put the community first. Still, we need

to change Minturn. If we don’t get some new people on the council, nothing is going to change.

John RosenfeldOn economic growth:

We should be promoting the uniqueness and char-acter of this town. People come here and make mem-ories. Memories become traditions, and people with traditions return. I bring to the table a logical business mind, and I will apply sound, logical business sense to the decisions the council is called upon to make.

On pressing environmental issues: The Superfund site. Then the development on Battle Mountain. We need to cap most of that so we can have a safe environ-ment for our families and children. We have to keep working on the river, and keep working on the bone-yard.

On working with Eagle County government: It’s vital that the relationship is mutually beneficial. The county draws much of its sales tax revenue from the towns.

On working with other council members: As a town council member, I need to listen to the needs and the desires of the citizens of the town. We have to work together to come to the decisions that will most benefit the town, now and into the future.

Earl BidezOn economic growth: The most successful thing

we’ve ever had is the Minturn Market, and that started back in the 1990s. We need to develop a little tempo-rary amnesia about the development up on the moun-tain. Minturn has always gotten through on its own, and that’s what needs to happen again.

On pressing environmental issues: The EPA’s Super-fund site. We need to pressure the EPA to monitor the situation. Around the town are elk migration corridors that need to remain undisturbed.

On working with Eagle County government: It

needs to be a cooperative relationship so it can be as mutually beneficial as possible. ECO Transit has cut its service and that has been a detriment to our town.

On working with other council members: It’s important to listen to the citizens, and work with the people on the council to create a common vision

that’s based on the input from the citizens.

Shelley BellmOn economic growth: My family goes back six gen-

erations in Minturn, and they’ve seen lots of economic cycles. It’s important to create and maintain a business-

friendly environment to attract new businesses to town, and help the ones that are already here.

On pressing environ-mental issues: Part of Minturn’s environmental problem is the infrastruc-ture, old and crumbling pipes. There’s major pol-lution at the railroad site. That’s why we have to spend $400,000 to address

that problem. The minerals in that sand eat through the pipes. We must continue to hold CBS and Viacom ac-countable for the Superfund site.

On working with Eagle County government: Coop-eration with the county is imperative to the health of the town. We need each other to succeed, and if that relationship isn’t there, it’s mutually detrimental.

On working with other council members: One per-son cannot make all the difference and make all the changes they would like to see. I’m one of seven votes, no matter which way it goes. Sometimes it goes my way, sometimes it does not.

The Melodians are one of Jamaica’s greatest Rocksteady groups, cutting a series of classic singles during the late ‘60s and early ‘70s that included the internationally famed “Rivers of Babylon” and “Sweet Sensation.” In 1966, when driving rhythms of ska were abandoned in favor of the slower, more soulful Rocksteady, Jamaican performers discovered a freedom of expression they had previously been denied. In overcoming the limitations of ska the dawn of the Rocksteady age begun. A few groups rose to notoriety with none more popular than The Melodians. The show starts at 9 p.m.

Fiery blues-rock artist Danielia Cotton takes the stage at The Arrabelle at Vail Square on Wednesday, April 7 at 6 p.m. for the second to last show in the 2010 Bud Light Street Beat free concert series.

Danielia Cotton turns up the volume with her style—a compelling mix of soul, folk, blues, jazz and a whole lot of emotionally powerful, no-non-sense rock and roll. Cotton channels her extraor-dinary real life triumphs and tribulations into her songs with her unique style.

Cotton has played clubs and festivals around the country and has opened for some of the biggest names in rock, R&B and blues including the All-mans, B.B. King, Derek Trucks, Bon Jovi, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Robert Cray. She is known for her fresh approach to music and her irresistible stage presence.

Her latest release, Live Child, is a riveting, unvar-nished document of her live set, a companion piece to her 2008 studio album, Rare Child. She has gar-nered a lot of attention from Adult Alternative radio and the press for the CD – as well as its predecessor 2005’s Small White Town.

Cotton’s philosophy on her music is simply stat-ed, “Once you sell your soul, I think it’s very hard to get it back.” Her tenacity is her gift, and in her music one hears an unfettered artist singing her life story. No sellout, just soul.

The 2010 Bud Light Street Beat free concert se-ries culminates on April 14 with a Michael Jackson tribute titled Thriller featuring DJ Logic. The final show also features the Volvo Grand Prize giveaway, a 2011 Volvo C30. Locals with a valid ID can reg-ister for the Volvo and each show, while guests can register to win a Quark Antarctic Expedition for two that will be awarded in June 2010.

The Danielia Cotton show is a part of the Vail Val-ley Foundation’s Bud Light Street Beat free concert series. For more information, visit www.streetbeat-concerts.com.

Rocker Danielia Cotton plays the second to last Bud Light Street Beat concert on Wednesday, April 7 at The Arrabelle at Vail Square in Lionshead. The show gets underway at 6 p.m. For more info check out streetbeatconcerts.com or call 888-883-VAIL

The Literacy Project is scheduled to present Different Learners with Jane Healy tomorrow, April 5, at 6 p.m.

The presentation is at Battle Mountain High School. Learning abilities—and differences—result from a

complex interaction of genetics, brain development, and a child’s experiences at home and school.

The Literacy Project will explore this “nature-nur-ture” interaction in some of the variations, Dyslexia, ADHD, and autistic spectrum disorders--which cause problems with academic, emotional, and social learn-ing.

While popular knowledge claims that dyslexia re-sults in a reversal of letters on the page; it’s true nature is more complex. Dyslexic individuals can misplace letters on a page, have trouble recognizing letters and

words they’ve seen before, and face difficulty translat-ing sets of letters into spoken form. These obstacles of-ten make mathematics just as difficult as reading.

ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder has received considerable critique as an over-diagnosed disorder, however for those suffering from ADHD con-centrating on a book, television program, or conversa-tion can be completely impossible. While medication can alleviate the symptoms, diligence is required on behalf of those with the disorder as well as a support group.

Autism spectrum disorders can range from a mild in-ability to hold a conversation to complete withdrawal of human interaction. Many times the obstacles presented by autism spectrum disorders can be overcome with a

combination of medication and cognitive-behavioral therapy.

Learning is within the reach of anyone who is differ-ently-abled, but the support of parents and teachers is crucial.

Parents and teachers will learn specific strategies for creating successful learning environments to benefit all children.

Tickets $25, $15 for educators in advance at The Bookworm or all EVLD branches. All proceeds benefit programs of the Literacy Project. For more information contact Colleen Gray, 949-5026, [email protected], or Nicole Magistro, [email protected], or Jane Healy, [email protected].

Blood drive tomorrow for local womansuffering from an autoimmune disorder

The Vail Valley Medical Center will be having a blood drive tomor-row in honor of local Karol Rubi from 10:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at 322 Beard Creek Road.

Karol Rubi has been dealing with an autoimmune disorder for 12 years. This single mom has been coping with APS, antiphospholipid syndrome, which affects blood clots in her body. She has the most severe form of APS affecting her liver and heart. There is no known cure for APS so she will have to remain on a heavy cocktail of medications to maintain a somewhat healthy life.

Her numerous prescriptions in-clude two prescriptions for her heart murmur, a blood thinner, a prescription for swelling caused by the blood clots, and a chronic pain medicine used to treat the severe migraine headaches. Karol also re-quires monthly visits to Denver so doctors can monitor her heart mur-mur.

Doctors discovered the APS when during her pregnancy. Karol is un-able to work because she’s too ill, and she doesn’t have enough money for the medical treatment she needs which include medications, hospital visits, a liver transplant and major dental work.

Her teeth must be removed and replaced with dentures, because the medications cause her teeth to rot.

“Those very bad teeth put her at risk of blood stream infections and worsening her condition,” said Petrie, a physician with Colorado Mountain Medical in Edwards.

Karol’s Medicare will not cover the operation, which needs to be done in a hospital with a heart spe-cialist, liver specialist, anesthesiol-ogist and the dental surgeon watch-ing her condition very closely.

The procedure could cost up to $20,000. In addition to the dental doctors think she will one day need

a liver transplant. Karol lacks the thousands of dollars she needs to even get on the waiting list for a new liver, not to mention the money for the surgery itself.

This is going to be an on-going battle for Karol and her family, but they are not alone. You can help Karol and her family by attending the benefit blood drive. For more information or to schedule an ap-pointment, please contact the Bon-fils’ Appointment Center at (800) 365-0006 Option 2 or on-line at www.bonfils.org.

ATHLETIC STUFF

Even if it’s April Fools, there are smarter pranks one could pull than filling Nuggets’ bad boy Kenyon Mar-tin’s Range Rover with buttered popcorn ... Martin is ready to rip the perpetrator limb from limb.

“That ain’t no [expletive] joke,” Martin said. “I’m going to find out who did it ... put my [expletive] hands on one of y’all. I’m going to put my hands on whoever did it. You better believe that. It’s [expletive] personal. You better believe it.”

After threatening violence, Kenyon then threatened to skip the playoffs if no one confessed.

“It was just an April Fools joke that went horribly wrong,” said a member of the Nuggets organization who spoke on the condition of anonymity. “The kid thought it would be funny and it wasn’t. Kenyon was back at practice today and everything was fine between him and his teammates.”

Good thing too because it wouldn’t be unheard of for Kenyon Martin to drop an elbow on the ball boy’s head ... Just ask Tracy McGrady.

Top football recruit dies in freak accident

While on spring break in Florida, Notre Dame signee Matt James was victim of a random accident that tragi-cally claimed his life when he fell from a third floor balcony Friday evening. Just days before James’ 18th birthday, when the 6’6”, 290-pound Cincinnati blue-chip fell from a hotel balcony on a Gulf of Mexico beach and died instantly.

James, 17, died at about 6:25 p.m. at the Days Inn on Front Beach Road, according to police reports cited by WJHG-TV in Panama City.

There is no confirmation on the cause of the fall, but it is rumored that alcohol was involved.

Clisters beats Venus in Sony Ericsson Open finalAlthough she didn’t necessarily need to, Kim Cli-

jsters made her comback career even more convincing when she claimed another trophy Saturday winning 17 consecutive points in the second set and dominating Venus Williams 6-2, 6-1 in the final of the Sony Erics-son Open.

Williams struggled to keep the ball in play, and Cli-jsters completed the shockingly lopsided victory in 58 minutes. When Williams hit one final errant forehand on match point, Clijsters raised her arms in triumph.

“I felt like from the beginning I was ready to go and really seeing the ball well,” Clijsters said.

Williams repeatedly was bested from the baseline, where she won nine points to 37 for Clijsters.

“It wasn’t my best day,” Williams said. “She played extremely solid, but it’s not like I was blown off the court. Unfortunately I was my own worst enemy.”

After retiring in 2007, Clijsters married and became a mother before returning to the tour last August. The title is her third since her comeback.

Teacher denies Tiger’s taleAccording to a report by TMZ, Tiger’s kindergar-

ten teacher denies a story Woods published in a 2005 Charles Barkley book about an incident that allegedly happened while he was attending Cerritos Elementary school in 1981:

“I became aware of my racial identity on my first day of school, on my first day of kindergarten. A group of sixth graders tied me to a tree, spray-painted the word ‘n****r’ on me, and threw rocks at me. That was my first day of school. And the teacher really didn’t do much of anything.”

Tiger’s kindergarten teacher, Maureen Decker, is quoted on the record in a 2004 book by Howard Sounes repeatedly denying that the incident took place.

“It’s untrue. Absolutely untrue. None of it ever hap-pened.“

Maureen Decker held a press conference Friday and claimed she attempted to get in contact prior to his re-cent scandal and her emerging is not about money and that she’s seeking a public and private apology from the famed golfer. However, it has been noted that she emerged one day after Tiger Woods’ mistress Rachel Uchitel was paid $10 million dollars.

As you already know, with Attorney Gloria Allred who also represents one of Tiger Woods’ mistresses (Joslyn James) backing her up, she’ll more than likely get her apology since she says she doesn’t plan on su-ing him.

Meanwhile, Decker says she just wants to put her mind at ease, but did have this to say about his scandal, “What goes around, comes around.”

Will Gregorak, a member of the U.S. Team, and former member of SSCV, took the win today in a men’s field packed with U.S. Ski Team members, and some of the country’s top college ski racers.

“It’s good to be home, and this seems to be my hill,” said Gregorak. “I got on the U.S. Ski Team De-velopment squad with a result on this hill, and since then I’ve won every race here.”

Gregorak finished the day with a 1:13.84, while Colby Granstrom, another member of the U.S. squad finished 2nd with a 1:14.37. Petter Brenna, hailing from Norway, and skiing for the University of New Mexico, took the 3rd place spot with a 1:14.44.

The SSCV men had Sean McCormick and Nick Braun finish 1st and 2nd for the J2 men.

The women’s field also had skiers from top colleg-es and the U.S. Team, and on this day, the U.S. team swept the podium.

Hailey Duke took 1st with a 1:19.32, Megan Mc-James placed 2nd with a 1:19.65, and Vail’s Sarah Schleper took 3rd place in 1:19.98.

“I love racing in Vail and Beaver Creek,” Schleper said. “I’m here to help the nation to get better starts in European fields, and to be able to race here is awe-some.”

For Duke, the win was special. “For my first win of the season, it feels fantastic,” said Duke. These Spring Series races are more relaxed than the rest of the season. It’s fun to be here because I know a lot of people, and it’s also cool to see the future stars of ski racing.”

Erika Ghent, representing both SSCV and the Uni-versity of Colorado, took 7th for the day while Eliza-beth Strong placed 6th for the J2 women.

The Surefoot Colorado Ski Cup Championships continue today with more slalom action for the men and women at Beaver Creek.

changed? Did you lift sanctions? Did you stop propa-ganda? Did you reduce the pressure?”

White House spokesman Bill Burton said Saturday the U.S. administration would have no comment on the Iranian president’s remarks. Obama said Thursday that six world powers dealing with Iran’s nuclear pro-gram will develop a package of serious new punitive measures over its refusal to halt uranium enrichment in coming weeks.

Republicans push back against Democratic

financial policyEnd the public lifeline for large financial institutions,

Republicans are demanding as they push back against Democratic efforts to set new rules for the financial in-dustry. The GOP is trying to fight many of the changes that President Barack Obama and majority Democrats want. Legislation would give the government authority to split up big financial companies and force the indus-try to pay for its most massive failures.

Republicans have offered alternative legislation that calls for new bankruptcy proceedings to dismantle fail-ing institutions. Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California, a member of the House Financial Services Committee, said that creating more federal agencies and putting taxpayers on the hook for more bailouts will not help revive the economy.

“It will only compound the pain for struggling small businesses and for families who played by the rules, lived within their means and acted responsibly,” Mc-Carthy said in the Republicans’ weekly radio and Inter-net address Saturday.

Catholicism in Ireland tainted by abuse scandalThe Roman Catholic Church in Ireland has lost all

credibility because of its mishandling of abuse by priests, the leader of the Anglican church said in re-marks released Saturday. A leading Catholic archbishop said he was “stunned” by the comments. The remarks released Saturday marked the first time Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams has spoken publicly on the crisis engulfing the Catholic Church. The comments come ahead of a planned visit to England and Scotland by Pope Benedict XVI later this year.

“I was speaking to an Irish friend recently who was saying that it’s quite difficult in some parts of Ireland to go down the street wearing a clerical collar now,” Williams told the BBC. “And an institution so deeply bound into the life of a society, suddenly becoming, suddenly losing all credibility — that’s not just a prob-lem for the church, it is a problem for everybody in Ireland, I think.”

At the Vatican, the pope celebrated Easter Vigil on Saturday evening but didn’t directly refer to the scan-dal in his homily.

Wolves in sheep’s clothingGunmen trying to pass themselves off as U.S. and

Iraqi soldiers raided a Sunni village outside Baghdad and killed at least 24 people in an execution-style at-tack, apparently targeting a Sunni group that revolted against al-Qaida in Iraq, authorities and witnesses said Saturday.

The bloodshed late Friday comes amid increasing concerns that insurgents will take advantage of Iraq’s political turmoil to further destabilize the country, nearly a month after parliamentary elections failed to give any candidate a decisive win. Many fear a drawn-out political debate could spill over into violence and complicate American efforts to speed up troop with-drawals in the coming months.

Details remained sketchy, but police said gunmen traveling in at least four cars raided three homes in Hawr Rijab, killing 19 men and five women after bind-ing them in handcuffs. Some of the victims, police said, were marched onto the roofs of their homes and slain there.

Very long iLines free before you purchase

your iPadNow that the iPad is in the hands of early adopters,

the hard work for Apple Inc. begins. Eager customers intent on being among the first owners of this new class

of gadgetry stood in long lines across the country Sat-urday. They seemed willing to buy first — and discover uses for the iPad later.

In some ways, it was reminiscent of the lines and hoopla surrounding the 2007 launch of the first iPhone. The difference: People knew then that the iPhone would replace their existing cell phone, an appliance that has become a must-have for everyone from uber-geeks to stay-at-home moms.

With the iPad, which fits somewhere between phone and computer, Apple must convince people who al-ready have smart phones, laptops, e-book readers, set-top boxes and home broadband connections that they need another device that serves many of the same pur-poses.

Discovery shuttle ready to take flight

NASA has cleared Discovery for a Monday morn-ing launch to the International Space Station, the last scheduled liftoff in darkness for the soon-to-retire shut-tle program. Mission managers met Saturday and gave the “go” to proceed toward liftoff. The unanimous de-cision came after engineers determined there were no booster rocket safety concerns. Two booster problems recently cropped up when the parts were tested offsite.

Forecasters expect an 80 percent chance of good weather for the 6:21 a.m. liftoff, close to an hour be-fore sunrise. Even though Sunday is Easter, countdown preparations will continue as usual, with the same num-ber of workers. Launch director Pete Nickolenko said he asked his team if anyone had any conflicts because of the holiday, and no one did.

Discovery is loaded with spare parts and science ex-periments for the space station. A crew of seven will deliver all the gear and conduct three spacewalks to set everything up.

An economy running on Nuclear … missiles

Here in America’s nuclear heartland, where under-ground missile silos dot the landscape, a proposed U.S.-Russia treaty to reduce nuclear weapons is nothing short of alarming. The military workers who maintain those missiles support cities as large as Great Falls, where 40 percent of the economy depends upon Malmstrom Air Force Base, and businesses as small as the Judith Gap Mercantile, where passing airmen buy milkshakes by the dozen. If they follow the missiles out of town, the economies here could be crippled.

The fate of the 450 intercontinental ballistic missiles around Malmstrom, F.E. Warren Air Force Base near Cheyenne, Wyo., and Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota is not yet clear, but politicians and community leaders are ready to fight to keep them. Even if it means not cutting nuclear weapons.

“I would keep Malmstrom at full strength, regard-less,” Great Falls Mayor Michael Winters said. “Each and every facet of our economy has something to do with Malmstrom.”

for its role in Afghanistan drew criticism from Afghan politicians after the White House described his remarks as genuinely troubling.

Despite Karzai’s attempt at damage control, includ-ing a telephone conversation Saturday with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, his allegations laid bare the growing mistrust between the Afghan govern-ment and its international partners as the United States and NATO ramp up troop levels to try to turn back the Taliban.

Karzai’s speech Thursday also heightened an ongo-ing political power struggle between Karzai and an in-creasingly independent-minded parliament, which has refused to confirm nearly half of his Cabinet nominees because they were allegedly incompetent, corrupt or too weak to resist pressure from powerful people. Dur-ing the speech, Karzai lashed out against the U.N. and the international community, accusing them of perpe-trating a “vast fraud” in last year’s presidential elec-tion as part of a conspiracy to deny him re-election or tarnish his victory.

Hope may be fading for Chinese miners

The first rescuers and divers who entered a flooded Chinese mine where 153 workers have been trapped for almost a week returned within hours, calling the situation underground “very difficult.”

No further signs of life were heard after tapping was heard Friday. The divers who entered the mine Satur-day afternoon said black, murky water complicated ef-forts to reach sites where rescuers hope miners have survived, state-run China Central Television reported.

The next step in the rescue plan wasn’t expected until Sunday, said Wen Changjin, an official with the news center set up at the mine in the northern province of Shanxi. At the Wangjialing mine, 3,000 people were working nonstop to pump out water that poured in when miners digging tunnels broke into an abandoned shaft on March 28. Wen said the water level under-ground had dropped by about 15 feet (5 meters) as of noon Saturday.

Sudanese election marred by conflict

Sudan’s first multiparty elections in decades have been thrown into disarray by allegations of government violations and opposition threats of a boycott. The dis-putes wreck hopes of transforming a conflict-plagued nation and could instead end up fueling violence in Darfur and the south.

The election, set to begin April 11, had been billed as a chance to bring democracy to Sudan and start to heal a history of turmoil: 50 years of civil war between north and south that killed 2 million people, repeated military coups, and years of violence in the western Darfur region that the U.S. called the 21st century’s first genocide and that brought international war crimes charges against the president, Omar al-Bashir.

The United States and other nations have invested heavily in the elections, which are required under a 2005 peace deal between north and south mediated by Washington. But experts say the elections are likely to be deeply flawed and won’t resolve the deep mistrust between the multiple sides — leaving the divisions that could once again re-ignite into violence.

Whatever happened to passing buckets of water?

Officials in Montezuma, Colo., which sits at more than 10,000 feet above sea level, say they’re examin-ing ways to improve their fire hydrants after firefighters had to truck in water to battle a blaze that destroyed a home.

Montezuma Mayor Steve Hornback says nobody was injured in Thursday’s fire. A creek that feeds the area’s fire hydrant system had frozen solid. Water tenders with 1,500-gallon tanks hauled water up icy roads from

Keystone, some 5½ miles away in the Rocky Moun-tains about 55 miles west of Denver.

Jeff Berino, deputy fire chief with Lake Dillon Fire-Rescue, says the home is a total loss, with damage esti-mated at about $350,000.

Erin Andrews will keep dancing despite threats

She’ll have more security and the same resolve to push on. Facing yet another scare, ESPN correspondent Erin Andrews has vowed to continue competing on Dancing With the Stars despite learning about emailed death threats, according to People Magazine.

“She’s not the type to be easily threatened,” her attor-ney Marshall Grossman reportedly says in a statement. “She has every intention to meet her obligations.”

According to People, the emails, initially sexual in nature, started arriving at sport radio’s The Dan Patrick Show last fall while Andrews was coping with a stalk-er, Michael David Barrett, who was later sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison for posting nude video of her on the Internet after he filmed her through a hotel-door peephole.

The emails recently have become explicitly violent, threatening Andrews with murder. People reports that the FBI has been notified. Authorities believe they know the identity of the man sending the messages. He is believed to live on the East Coast.

Sandra Bullock leaving?A moving van was spotted Friday afternoon in front

of the home of Sandra Bullock and Jesse James, accord-ing to TMZ; here’s what went down -- the van pulled

up at around 6:45 PM and stayed for about an hour, two movers moved out a couch, a love seat and tons of boxes.

A man and a woman arrived to the place in a separate car along with the moving van. When they arrived, the mov-ers took some-thing out of the van and put it into the other car. The man and woman packed a few things into their car as well, according to the report.

Jesse’s mom’s car was parked out at the house for most of the day, but wasn’t there when the movers did their thing, according to TMZ.

Another reason to drive a stick

Police in eastern Pennsylvania said two men tried to rob and carjack a pizza delivery driver but were de-feated by the vehicle’s standard transmission. Fountain Hill police said the Domino’s Pizza driver had stopped at a red light early Friday when a man ran up to the vehicle from the rear and grabbed her by the throat and shirt. He demanded money while a second man tried to open the passenger door.

Police said the driver reported that the men fled af-ter making a reference to the manual transmission. In-vestigators did not say whether they escaped with any money from the driver.

Baby saves family from fire

A Kentucky mother said her newborn baby saved her family from a house fire by waking them up with its cries. Police told WKYT-TV they suspect a drunk neighbor burned down the home south of Hyden, in Leslie County, on Friday.

Kelley Wooton had just brought home her 10-day-old daughter, Arizona. She said the baby’s cries woke the family. Still they were not sure they were going to be able to escape.

Leslie County Sheriff’s Deputy Kevin Short saw the flames as he was driving by and helped the family es-cape.

Police arrested the neighbor after the fire. He was charged with wanton endangerment, arson, disorderly conduct, and public intoxication.
