Hot Summer Nights swelters with New Orleans veterans Honey Island Swamp Band. Interviewed by Melanie Wong.
It’s hard to hear the Honey Is-land Swamp Band play with-
out bobbing your head or at least tapping your toes.
Maybe it’s the searing guitar from Chris Mulé, the man-dolin plucking from Aaron Wilkinson, Trevor Brooks’ Ham-mond B-3 organ, the thoughtful lyrics and four-part harmo-nies, or the groovin’ stomp rhythm section from bassist Sam Price and drummer Garland Paul. Whatever it is, the sounds are quintessentially “swampy.”
Ironically, the quartet came together in San Francisco, not Louisiana. In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, the members found themselves marooned out on the West Coast.
“We were all friends from living in New Orleans and be-ing musicians,” Mulé says. “I had played in a band with each of those guys at one time or another, so we knew each other very well.”
Figuring they’d be stuck in San Francisco for awhile, the evacuees put together a band and almost immediately landed a weekly gig at the Boom Boom Room. As Mulé admits, at first they didn’t take the band very seriously – they played together on the West Coast for nearly a year, but all the mem-bers had other full-time gigs on their plates. They returned to New Orleans in 2008, where music was put on hold while the members helped with hurricane repairs. When they picked back up, they decided to devote more time to their makeshift band. Last year alone, they played more than 200 shows around the country, and they’re set to release a fourth album, “Cane Sugar,” on July 30.
Vail audiences can sample the new album when the Hon-ey Island Swamp Band plays at the Ford Amphitheater next Tuesday, July 2, as part of the Hot Summer Nights free con-cert series.
SneakPEAK chatted with Mulé, one of the band’s found-ers, before the band headed to Vail to talk about band chem-istry, what to expect at the show and how he met fellow songwriter Aaron Wilkinson in the back of a van.
SneakPEAK: You’re a New Orleans band that got its start in San Francisco. Tell us how that happened?
Chris Mulé: We hooked up in San Francisco at the Boom
Boom Room, a week or so after the hurricane hit. It had be-come a hangout there. Aaron and I had kinda been sticking together after the storm. We got together to write songs and went to the Boom Boom Room to get a beer one day. Our bass player and everyone else was there that night, and we said, “We’ll probably be here awhile, so lets try and get a gig together – we have a band right here.”
The owner was enthusiastic about having us play there and immediately gave us a weekly Sunday gig.
SP: Tell us about the new album “Cane Sugar” and how it has evolved from previous albums.
CM: We like to evolve, and I think this one was a much more collaborative effort. Aaron and I are the primary song-writers, and we used to write separately. Usually, I’ll write a song and show everybody, and if everyone likes it, we’ll play it – same with Aaron. With our last album, “Good to You,” there was only one song we collaborated on, “Choco-late Cake,” and it’s hands down everyone’s favorite song.
With this new album, we started working more together. There’d be something I’d start but didn’t finish, and he’d look at it and finish it.
SP: What are your favorite tracks on “Cane Sugar”?CM: It’s hard to pick a favorite song because it changes
from week to week. We’ve been have a lot of fun perform-ing the song “Never Saw It Coming” – it was a surprise hit of the record. We never intended to release it as a single, but it’s been getting great reaction at concerts. It’s also the most personal one for me because it’s written about true-life experiences.

Although the Beaver Creek Rodeo Series features a full lineup of classic rodeo events that include bronc riding, team
roping, barrel racing, bull riding and mutton bustin’, this summer’s event is not your av-erage rodeo. Celebrating its 12th season, the event fuses Beaver Creek’s upscale resort town flair with the western allure of rodeo.
“We try to go above and beyond to make it an authentic event with extra Beaver Creek comforts like free shuttle service, plenty of food options and now a champagne bar,” says Special Events Manager Anna Robinson. “Our guests really enjoy getting a ‘taste of the Wild West’ when they vacation to Colorado, and this is a unique memory that families can enjoy together.”
Presented by the Westin Riverfront Resort, the Beaver Creek Rodeo Series is held every Thursday night through Aug. 15, with a special Tuesday night rodeo on July 2 prior to the July 4 holiday. Mark your calendars for June 27, July 2, 11 and 18 and Aug. 1, 8 and 15.
Gates open each evening at 5 p.m. for pre-event family activities, including pony rides, face painting, mechanical bull rides and a wide range of local cuisine. Participating res-taurants include Moe’s BBQ, Fiesta Jalisco, Wildwood Smokehouse, Fork Art Catering, Beaver Taters, Corny Nibblers, Batter Cupcakes, Kaleb’s Katch and Nuts About Colorado, along with chili served by the Eagle River firefighters as a fundraiser. As only a rodeo at Beaver Creek would have, there will also be a Veuve Clicquot Champagne bar, a VIP en-trance and after parties at the Westin’s recently opened Maya restaurant.
“The best part about the variety offered at the rodeo is that you can make it any kind of experience you want,” Robinson explains. “Maybe you’re a champagne and cupcakes kind of person or you prefer a quesadilla and a margarita or maybe barbecue and a beer - it’s whatever you want it to be!”
Big drawsAttracting over 12,000 people last year, Robinson expects this year’s attendance to be
even higher. She says the fact that the event is extremely affordable for families is a big selling point - there is no entrance fee for kids 12 and under and children 13 to 17 can enjoy
the event for just $10. The event is also very approachable, with opportunities for guests to meet the Rodeo Queen and Princess and get autographs.
Of course, every rodeo has its marquee events, and in this case, Robinson says that bull riding and barrel racing are the most popular attractions.
“Bull riding is definitely a crowd favorite - it’s amazing to see the sheer power coming out of the chutes - and another popular event is barrel racing because it’s extremely fast, skilled riding from some very talented ladies,” he says.
Following the event, the Westin is hosting free Après Rodeo parties and everyone is in-vited. The shuttles will take guests back to the Westin, and Jeffrey Cash from KSKE Ski Country will be hosting the festivities at Maya. There will be live music, giveaways, and Maya is offering $5 drink specials and $2 tacos.
Of course, this is still a rodeo, and there will be cowboys, cowgirls, dirt and animals and whole lot of fun.
“While the Beaver Creek Rodeo Series is more of an upscale style rodeo, it is still a down-home good time,” says Robinson.

tradition with upscale variety. By Laura Lieff.
Catch the rodeoGuests can catch the shuttle, which will pick up and drop off from both the
Covered Bridge in Beaver Creek and the Westin, from 5 p.m. until 9 p.m. Free parking is available directly across the street from the rodeo grounds and is a one-minute walk to the site. The rodeo takes place rain or shine and ticket pricing is as follows:
VIP: $25General admission: $20Seniors (65+): $15Youth (13 to 17): $10 Kids (12 and under): Free
Registration for audience participation events begins at 5 p.m. on the day of the event at the information tent inside the gates. Mutton bustin’ and burro racing are $25, while the calf scramble is complimentary. Parents must register children for the mutton bustin’ and calf scramble. Teams of three adults age 18 or older can register to compete in burro racing.

[See BRAVO! PREVIEW, page 19]
After decades of travelling the world to perform with the finest modern musicians, pianist Anne-Marie McDermott still finds Olivier Messiaen’s “Quartet for the End of Time” haunting.
For the first time on Aug. 1, McDermott brings the stark, dark sounds of the piece to Vail as one of the final perfor-
mances of the Bravo! Vail classical concert series. As artistic director for the series, McDermott strives to find a balance between old and new, energetic and deeply touching, and the evening concert at Donovan Pavilion pairs Messiaen with one of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s most upbeat composi-tions, “Quintet for Clarinet and Strings, K. 581.”
“Both works are incredible, but ‘End of Time’ is really out-of-this-world music,” says McDermott, who will play
piano to the accompaniment of Ohio’s Jasper String Quartet. “It’s transformative – I’ve done tours with this piece, and you always find people who leave with tears in their eyes. It’s not flamboyant, but it’s still powerful.”
The contrast may seem odd on the surface – even McDer-mott admits it’s an unorthodox choice even die-hard classi-cal lovers may not recognize – but the intimate, powerful performance is a near-perfect showcase for the brand of mu-sic Bravo! has championed for the past 26 years. From June 28 to Aug. 3, guest artists from across the world will perform more than 45 times in and around Vail, from free afternoon sessions at the Vail Interfaith Chapel to marquee orchestral events at Ford Amphitheater.
“Finding balance is key to a summer music festival,” says McDermott, who took over for longtime artistic director Eu-genia Zukerman in 2011. “You want to embrace what the public loves, while also bringing some personal favorites into the mix. I will never let this festival rest on its laurels –
I’m pretty obsessed with what I do.”
OrchestrasWith so much going on, the Bravo! series can seem like
a daunting prospect, but first-year executive director James Palermo worked closely with McDermott in the off-season to make sure music fans come first.
“John Giovando set this series up in a quality, sustainable way,” says Palermo, referring to his predecessor and Bravo! founder. “People know and expect quality around here, and we want to continue to provide that. This series has to make sense on all levels, and we’re bolstering our brand by offer-ing great customer service so the programming can speak for itself.”
For regular concertgoers, the most anticipated concerts of the season are with Palermo’s self-described “trifecta:”

While several other members of her expedition made headlines and set records summiting Everest’s lesser-
known neighbor, Nuptse, alpinist Ellen Miller quietly bid farewell to a 20-plus-year career spent in the world’s highest elevations.
“We try to go above and beyond to make it an authentic event with extra Beaver Creek cReaching the top of Nuptse (25,791 feet) with a team of 10 other climbers marked the completion of the Khumbu Triple Crown, a three-mountain trilogy that included summiting Nuptse, Everest (29,035 feet) and Lhotse (27,940 feet), the world’s fourth-highest peak.
Miller, an Edwards resident and athlete, became only the second woman to summit Nuptse, the second woman to complete the Triple Crown. Bagging Nuptse itself, known as a highly technical and seldom-climbed peak, put Miller in an elite group – including her expedition, only 30 people have climbed the peak so far.
The accomplishment was a fitting punctuation to a decades-long love affair with high-altitude mountaineering that started when Miller was in her 30s. She became the first North American woman to climb Everest twice and the first American woman to succeed climbing Everest’s north side, among other accomplishments.
The 54-year-old climber announced earlier this week that she was officially retiring from extreme high-altitude climbing, preferring to “leave life above 23,000 feet for the younger climbers.”
Miller still plans to climb, with several lower peaks in mind, but she says that in recent years, she’s felt the danger of high-altitude climbing.
“The danger of life up there is just crystalized. It has become harder, every aspect of climbing, from acclimatizing to staying warm up there,” says Miller, a spry, fit woman who still works as a guide and athletic coach. “I’ve invested the last 25 years, and I’m ready to do some other things, and not be as scared and gripped all the time. There are beautiful, bright experiences where no one feels like they’re going to die.”
The Nuptse expeditionUnlike some other climbers – such as professional mountaineer and fellow expedition
member Kenton Cool, who completed the Everest trifecta in a single season – Miller’s completion of the feat came over a few decades. She ascended Everest for the first times in 2001 and 2001(from either side), Lhotse in 2009, and finally Nuptse on May 16.
Miller considered climbing Nuptse as not only the capstone to her career, but also a fare-well trip to a region and culture she thinks of as her second home.
“(To complete the trilogy) shows commitment to the sport, and to be working on Nuptse for three years takes a lot of focus,” Miller says. “I wanted to do the Triple Crown almost as a gesture of respect to the Sherpa people and their culture, because I’ve spent a lot of time

Prent Milhoan’s art is far from traditionally beautiful, and oddly enough, that’s the point.
Take the Vail native’s most recent work: He calls it a “train piece,” an unassuming close-up of rivets, worn paint and oxidized metal, yet his materials are carved wood and mural paint. It’s a simulation of real surfaces he found while wan-dering around the unkempt innards of Denver, Chicago and Los Angeles with a camera in tow, often snapping photos of the alleyways and train yards other city dwellers take for granted. Over the past four years, he’s been drawn to this “urban jungle” aesthetic, a sort of collision between the nat-ural and the manmade that results in dirty, grimy, intensely magnetic art.
“I don’t know if it’s quite a beautiful piece of art – it’s not Monet, with bright, colorful objects,” Milhoan says. “I think it has more character and darkness, with details you over-look. It doesn’t jump at you, but it forces you to look harder at the little things.”
This weekend, Milhoan’s as-yet-untitled piece will find a home at the Lionshead Skatepark, a similarly unassuming collection of ramps, rails and concrete set just steps from aspen and evergreen forests. The 4-by-8-foot mural/sculp-ture joins work from three other local artists, all of whom specialize in street art, from Milhoan’s oxidized surfaces to award-winning graffiti by Shen, a recent transplant from the San Francisco Bay area.
As part of Vail’s renowned Art in Public Places (AIPP) program, the street art will stand in stark contrast to the bronze sculptures and nature photography found along Vail’s cobbled streets and Gore Creek. It’s a taste of the metropolis in the mountains, and the youthful, eclectic vibe is a near-perfect fit for the town’s seasonal skatepark.
“Street art itself has so many different styles, from lan-guage to stencils to work like Prent’s,” says Molly Eppard, AIPP coordinator for the town. “It has really come out as
an artful, respected genre, and young artists are leading the way. What connects the artists we chose is they’re young, they’re local and they fit under the umbrella of street art. It clicks.”
Art in the familyAlthough Milhoan believes he’s found his calling with the
urban jungle aesthetic, he’s about as close to a purebred art-ist as Eagle County knows. It starts with his family: Father Randy Milhoan created the indoor art for the new Lionshead Transit Center, while everyone from his mother to his uncle has spent time in creative industries. For 30 years, Milhoan Industries has installed and repaired art throughout the val-ley, and the 29-year-old currently splits time between work with his dad and personal projects like the train piece.
“Vail really thought it’d be cool to have father inside and son outside,” Prent Milhoan says. “I’m influenced by my dad, obviously, and he’s been a very good mentor. Some-times I listen to him and sometimes I don’t, but that’s how
any relationship is.”The stylistic contrast between Randy and Prent Milhoan
is immediately apparent – the father’s work is more bold and colorful, while the son’s pieces rely on muted accents and objects – but Eppard and the AIPP board have long been impressed by both. When they put out a call for skatepark artists, the board looked at Prent Milhoan’s work as sepa-rate from his father’s – having art from two generations was solely an intriguing footnote.
And the younger Milhoan’s art stands for itself. Ever since graduating from the Art Institute of Chicago, he’s shown mu-rals and sculptures in 20 studios across the country, includ-ing the artist-owned Sliding Door Gallery in Denver’s Santa Fe art district. Even so, the train piece is a new milestone: It’s his first commissioned work for a public town, and only his commissioned piece ever.
With the exception of Shen, the other skatepark artists – stenciler Michael Friedman and muralist William Thompson

In the past two decades, ski-ing in Eagle County has been matched by that other great
destination sport: golf.
The valley is dotted with pristine greens and narrow alpine fairways, many situated right along the Eagle River. Of the 11 area courses, nearly half were designed by former pros and famous golf architects, from the Arnold Palmer course at Eagle Ranch Golf Club to the private-turned-public Pete Dye design at Gypsum Creek Golf Course.
While such prestige comes with a price – five of the 11 clubs are private or semi-private – the local public cours-es are an ideal way to have a memorable day on the links for relatively cheap. Even the course at Beaver Creek, with $85,000 membership fees and homeowner requirements, has affordable tee times for county residents.
To prep for a round of 18 or quick jaunt to the driving range, SneakPEAK spoke with golf pros at five local clubs to find out what each course offers beginners, veterans and weekend warriors. Happy golfing.
EagleVail Golf Club, EagleVailAfter $2 million in course renovations during the off-sea-
son, the EagleVail Golf Club is poised for a marquee sum-mer. Head golf pro Ben Welsh says redesigned bunkers and greens have turned formerly hokey holes into legitimate tests of skill, and highbrow service comes without the price. The course is known for vertical drops and wooded fairways, and each hole demands accuracy from the tee box. On windy days, be prepared to play conservatively – the mid-valley location is gorgeous, but the elements can wreak havoc on overzealous players. The driving range is open daily, with $10 large buckets.
From the pro: “Location is key for us,” Welsh says. “Be-ing between Beaver Creek and Vail, we have a really good combination of Vail locals, Summit County residents and tourists. We want this to be the top experience for the price, and players who haven’t been here in a few years have al-ready noticed the difference.”
Signature holes: Known as ‘The Draw,” holes 16, 17 and 18 take players deep into the woods surrounding Stone Creek, with massive pine trees lining fast, down-sloping greens and fairways. Hole 16 went through a major facelift and is now more player-friendly, with a reshaped green and gentle gradient.
Beyond the greens: Renovations didn’t stop with the course: The laid-back Whiskey Hill Golf Grill is open until 8 p.m. on weekdays and 10 p.m. on weekends, and the new look is ideal for post-round pancakes and Bloody Marys on Sunday mornings.
Details: Par 71. Peak-season pricing for 18 holes is $89 (Eagle County residents) and $99 (non-residents) before 12:30 p.m. Midday, twilight and league rates are $10 to $30 less. Rate includes a cart. For more information or to reserve a tee time, visit www.eaglevailgolfclub.com.
Beaver Creek Golf Club, Beaver CreekBuilt in 1982 and designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr., the
former home of the Jerry Ford Invitational Golf Tourna-ment is easily one of the top courses in the state. Holes boast stunning views of the winding valley below or lush, green trails of the resort above, and head golf pro Kenny Thayer takes pride in immaculate course conditions. The surround-ing mountains typically provide protection from wind, but Thayer still recommends conservative tee shots: Well-placed ponds, creeks and bunkers make driving for power a danger-ous gamble. Access to the driving range and practice green is included in green fees.
From the pro: “It’s a mean little golf course from the back tees,” Thayer says. “When you’re running right along the river, it forces you to be a shot maker. It’s a total contrast from something like Red Sky (Ranch in Wolcott), where you can usually make up for mistakes.
Signature hole: At 418 yards from the back tees, the par four hole 15 seems straightforward, but there’s more to the unofficial “Barn Hole” than meets the eye. The fairway is extremely tight, and the tiered design makes accuracy vital. Even if you shank a drive, the historic Holden Barn is a re-minder of high-alpine golf in its purest form.
Beyond the greens: The golf club is connected to the Rendezvous Club near Elkhorn Lodge, and a menu by ex-ecutive chef Kirk Weems of Allie’s Cabin lives up to the
Beaver Creek reputation. Thayer hosts small, female-only clinics each Tuesday from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. (starts at $65 per person), which include a post-instruction glass of wine.
Details: Par 70. Play is reserved for Beaver Creek, Bach-elor Gulch and Arrowhead homeowners until Sept. 15, but county residents can find a shoulder season “golf and lunch” special for $85, which includes a three-course lunch and $10 gift certificate at the pro shop. A cart is included. The dress code is collared shirts and non-denim shorts or slacks for men, and women can wear blouses and sleeveless or col-larless shirts. Find more info on rates, memberships and tee times at www.beavercreek.com/golf.
Eagle Ranch Golf Club, EagleIt’s not often a public course can claim the beauty, pres-
tige and pure playability of an Arnold Palmer design. Situ-ated just south of downtown Eagle, the Eagle Ranch Golf Club is a true diamond in the rough, with a flat front nine and mountain-style back nine that meld organically into the surrounding hills. Water hazards and bunkers abound. Head golf pro Nate Corsbie claims the practice facilities are the best in the valley, with a dedicated driving-range assistant and $7 large buckets.
From the pro: “We really provide that country-club expe-rience without the country club,” Corsbie says. “The course is always in great shape, with the sort of play you expect from a private club. The start-to-finish experience is very enjoyable.”
Signature hole: Hole 12 is an unrelenting par five, with one of the few lengthy doglegs in the valley and a mid-fair-way creek. The Hardscrabble trail system frames the green, and mountain bikers will pine for singletrack after the round.
Beyond the greens: The club hosts the annual Colorado Open Qualifier on July 16 – one of the few prestige tourna-ments in the area – and is home to kid-friendly First Tee programs throughout the summer. The clubhouse features a large patio overlooking holes 9 and 18, with an affordable menu and league happy hour.
Details: Par 72. Rates vary, but peak-season green fees for 18 holes are $80 (Eagle County residents) and $66 (Eagle residents). Cart rental is $18. Dress code is collared shirts and non-denim pants for males and females. To reserve a tee time, visit www.eagleranchgolf.com.

There are cover bands, and then there’s Dead Star Or-
chestra.For more than 15 years, the Chicago-based band has
toured the country (and world) trying to recreate the eclectic yet organic energy of Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh and friends. More often than not, Dead Star succeeds: In 2005, Andy Argyrakis of hometown newspaper The Chicago Tri-bune wrote that “Dark Star Orchestra often sounds more like the Dead than the Dead sometimes did.”
Longtime Dead Star drummer Rob Koritz may argue against such a claim – after all, he’s a die-hard fan – but he understands the feeling. When his band fires on all cylinders, performances can transport him back to one of the 100 or so Grateful Dead concerts he saw in person, including an entire six-month European tour in 1990.
And that brand of first-person knowledge is the key to Dead Star’s appeal. All seven members are self-professed Deadheads: Each set is based on a concert from the Dead’s 48-year history, right down to the minutia Dead faithful have memorized from decades of listening to live recordings. It’s a band by fanatics, for fanatics – even Dead vocalist Donna Jean Godchaux-McKay has endorsed the band – and the ex-perience is a near-perfect match for a storied venue like State Bridge.
Koritz and Dead Star come to State Bridge at the front end of a summer-long tour, bringing with them new bassist Skip Vangelas. As usual, both nights promise a different set from a different era. SneakPEAK caught up with Koritz doing a
very un-Dead activity – running errands at a Home Depot – to chat about the State Bridge concert, his time with Dead Star and the challenges of recreating sounds from deep in the Dead repertoire.
SneakPEAK: Before we get too far, I have to admit some-thing: I’m not a Grateful Dead fanatic. What does Dead Star Orchestra offer people who are music lovers, but not exactly Deadheads?
Rob Koritz: For so many people, there’s a misnomer that Grateful Dead is psychedelic music you either like or don’t like. That’s just a side effect of where they came from – San Francisco in the ‘60s, with the acid testing and all that. In reality, they’re about as Americana as you can get. They take all sorts of sounds and styles and mesh them in a way that’s very familiar to many music lovers. You can take anyone to a show and they’ll find something they like.

There was a moment when local cyclist Paul Spencer wondered why he was riding.
He’d been riding for more than a full day, with nothing more than a few stops for food and drink, and he had already covered about 270 miles. He was facing one of the most grueling climbs of his trip outside of Valencia, Spain, and it was the middle of the night.
“I was way up in the hills, and freaked myself out thinking about werewolves and vam-pires until I realized it was an illusion,” laughs Spencer, a towering Brit. “It was the fatigue setting in.”
From there, he faced a long descent that left him freezing in the dark.“I was shivering like mad and thinking to myself ‘What am I doing? Why am I even doing
this?’” he says.By “this,” Spencer, 32, means a recent ride from North Cape, Norway to Tarifa, Spain, in
a record-breaking 22 days and 11 hours. He completed the ride on June 16, shattering the previous record of 39 days with the help of a support crew of three friends, his parents and a slew of sponsors that included Kimberly Clark Professional.
But that was just another day on the bike for Spencer, who has tackled feats such as the TransRockies Challenge, the Colorado Trail Race and riding across America (he held the world record in 2009, which was later broken).
The race is onSpencer’s bid for the trans-European world record didn’t quite go according to plan. It
went much faster, actually. His original plan was to complete the 4,000-plus miles in 29 days to handily break the previous record of 39 days. However, six days into the ride, he found out that another Englishman was planning to follow his route and beat it.
“I said, ‘OK, I can do it a little quicker. I need to make sure he cannot break my time,’” Spencer says. “So after I got through Russia, I just tried to ride as long as I could each day.”
Some of Spencer’s biggest challenges, however, came in the logistics. He had his route mapped by GPS, which he followed via a Garmin bike computer. However, partway through the trip, the computer broke and he had to switch to a new computer that didn’t have the detailed maps. At times, he said, he was simply following “the pink line,” with no digital visual of where he was headed.
Spencer’s support crew, which followed him in a camper, helped with food, equipment and witness signatures to document the ride, but the two-person team often got lost, unable to find the small side roads that Spencer had taken. He was partly in communication with them via a pay-as-you-go cell phone, but crossing borders and reloading credit proved to be an ongoing disaster.
“We ran out of credit so many times that the phone wouldn’t let us top off on credit anymore,” Spencer says. “In the end we had to use my mom’s account from Britain to get another phone. It was a nightmare. We were swapping phones all the time.”
Eastern European adventuresSpencer’s first obstacle was Russia, which he planned to ride through in a single day with-
out his friends, who were unable to obtain visas.“I went through the border, and they were very strict,” Spencer says. “They inspected my
passport for 20 minutes, looking carefully at every stamp. I thought they weren’t going to let me in for a while.”
He reached St. Petersburg, then continued through the countryside to the next border.“I went through villages that you imagine when you think of Russia in the movies – very
bare, tiny villages that you think are going to just fall down,” he says.
After St. Petersburg, Spencer ran out of food and water, not counting on the fact that most businesses didn’t accept credit cards. He was left to the kindness of strangers, and several villagers he managed to communicate with gave him water, and one man bought him a can of Coke.
After rejoining his support crew, Spencer began averaging more than 200 miles a day through Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Poland and the Czech Republic, where he encountered

The nine iron is in hand ready to be put to use, yet hesitation remains. Your three golfing buddies semi-patiently wait in anticipation for you to make
a club decision. All you can think is, “Well, last time I was 130 yards out, I
over shot with a nine iron. I could use the pitching wedge… and I suppose there is a 20 to 25 mile per hour wind at my back.”
Finally coming to a conclusion, you swap clubs and pull out the pitching wedge. Thud! You chunk the ball and end up 10 yards short of the green in the sand trap.
Golf is full of calculations and decisions. Choosing the right clubs to buy is just another one of the many decisions of the sport. Now that we are in the heart of the golf season, SneakPEAK tested four different sets of the latest and great-est 2013 “game-improvement” irons and drivers.
All of the clubs were tested on the Eagle Ranch driv-ing range during a sunny day. If interested in trying any of the following clubs, demo them free of charge at the Eagle Ranch Golf Course.
IronsTaylorMade 2013 RocketBladez irons
Price: $799 Steel Shaft The TaylorMade irons have a feeling of bulkiness, which
can be seen as either a pro or a con. The clubface is a bit larger than the other irons tested, offering a larger sweet spot and also slightly increasing the weight. The 4 to 7 irons have an added feature of polyurethane in the clubface in order to reduce vibration. Overall, these irons are great for game improvement and hit straighter than most of the other clubs tested.
Callaway X Hot 2013 IronsPrice: $699 Steel Shaft
I admit to some bias when it comes to Callaway, as they have always been my own first choice irons. Regardless, these irons are the most forgiving out of any of the tested clubs. Callaway in fact lowered
the sweet spot on these clubs compared to previous models.
Thin-hit balls now have an opportunity to gain some yardage. The X Hots felt the stiffest among the test clubs and would be well suited to those with quick swing speeds. Simi-lar to TaylorMade, the Callaway X Hot’s larger club head makes them feel a bit on the bulkier side.
Ping G25 2013 IronsPrice: $699 Steel Shaft
Ping irons remain a classic and hold their value more than most clubs on the market. The G25 lives up to Ping’s high standards. Out of all the irons tested, these clubs made it the easiest to control distance accurately. The sweet spot on the Ping’s longer irons were also more obvious than other clubs
tested. The G25s had a feeling of softness, due to the alumi-num and elastomer “badge” placed in the clubface. Out of all the clubs with dampener material, the G25s were the most notable in reducing unwanted vibration. For the lower price, these were some of the better clubs tested.
Titleist AP1 2013 IronsPrice: $799 Steel Shaft
The Titleist AP1 felt the most responsive to well hit shots, but didn’t quite have the forgive- ness factor of the other clubs tested. This club was, however, the easiest to activate a draw or a fade on the ball making it one of the better choices for more ad vanced players. In addition to the great controllability factor, these clubs know how to put some power on the ball and were some of the longest hitting clubs in the test. Similar to the Ping G25s, the AP1s have an aluminum elastomer compo- nent that gives them a softer, more responsive feel.
DriversAfter the irons were put away, it was time to bring out the
big guns. Huge drives were achieved during the driver test with some impressive hardware, making this tester realize it may be due time for an upgrade.
Ping G25 2013 DriverPrice $349 9.5-degree loft
Similar to the G25 irons, this club felt incredible to hit. The G25 driver was soft, yet powerful all the way through the swing. Like the X Hot, however, the forgiveness factor felt rather low, making mishits more punishing. In addition, the G25 driver offers a subtle loft adjuster where players can adjust the loft +/- .5 degrees. Overall this is a fantastic driver at a decent price point.
TaylorMade R1 2013 DriverPrice: $399 9.5-degree loft
TaylorMade’s R1 has been a favorite driver for many. The 2013 model takes driving technology into the future. The R1 features a dial that helps the player adjust for hooks or slices by opening or closing the clubface. In addition to the clubface dial, the R1 features an adjustable loft dial, making it a very customizable driver. Although a great-performing driver, the club felt a bit too high tech and bulky. In addition, the hard feel and loud noise of the club made the R1 my least favorite driver in the test. One of the positive aspects of the club was its high-forgiveness factor when the ball was hit improperly. It is also a highly customizable driver, which can be seen as a major positive attribute.
Titleist 913 D2 2013 DriverPrice $399 9.5-degree loft
The Titleist D2 has everything a driver should and more. The D2 felt the best to hit, and it seemed that balls eagerly sprung off the clubface. It was very forgiving, yet hit huge drives when swung well.
The club had a soft feel upon contact and produced very little unwanted slices or hooks. Coupled with the sleek profile, this club is sure to be a favorite among many. The Titleist D2 is well worth its price.
Callaway X Hot 2013 DriverPrice $299 9.5-degree loft
Big hitters, get excited. The Callaway X Hot was well received and proved to be one of the better drivers in the test. The X Hot hit clean, impressively long drives. With one of the lowest prices in the test, it was a clear winner. The forgiveness factor was not as high with this club and well-hit shots seemed to be a necessary must for rewarding outcomes.
Since it may be impractical to have a wish list of four sets of clubs, it is again decision time.
Whatever the decision may be, don’t wait too long -- golf season is already here.

Editor’s note: This is part of a series of articles chronicling the stories of several Eagle County locals working toward a variety of health and fitness goals with professional trainers from Dogma Athletica in Edwards and the Vail Athletic Club Vitality Center in Vail. Check back for regular articles about their progress, advice from their trainers and more.
About halfway through a three-week vacation in Ha-waii, Betsy Van Beek sent her personal trainer a text with details on the hikes, runs and bike rides she’d
enjoyed while flitting from island to island.It wasn’t the sort of vacation update people typically send.
Rather than gush about the tropical vistas and lush forests, Van Beek was honest about the time she spent exercising or falling slightly off her plan. There was a 10-mile hike on June 6, followed a few days later by four hours of paddle-boarding and a five-mile run along the beach. None of those activities were written on paper, but each kept the 35-year-old active when it would be tempting to lounge on a beach and let nearly two months of training slip away.
In mid-May, Van Beek set her sights on the Bolder Boul-der – as a non-runner, it seemed like a reasonable goal – and soon after decided to tackle a half-marathon in August. A Hawaiian excursion with her husband was already planned, and due to its length, progress could’ve easily stalled.
“If I didn’t have this goal and have this plan, I’d be look-
ing at people running on the beach and laugh at them for exercising on vacation,” Van Beek admits. “This hasn’t been super difficult, but I’ve had to think about what I need to do. When all I want to do is be lazy, I have to actually say, ‘Get up and run.’”
Jeff Morgan, director of The Vitality Center in Vail and Van Beek’s primary trainer, was impressed by her dedica-tion. Before she left for Hawaii, he went through a five-day fitness regimen made for being on the road. There were two days of strength training made for a hotel room, followed by two days of interval runs on the beach and one day of endur-ance training. At home, the plan would be relatively simple, but during vacation, it could nearly be seen as the fitness equivalent of taking a laptop to the pool.
Although Van Beek didn’t strictly follow the workout Morgan built for her – she has only done the strength exer-cises twice – he had no doubt she would replace running or lunges with hikes and day-long raft trips.
“The worst-case scenario is she ate, drank and sat on her butt all day,” Morgan says. “But I know she hasn’t done that – she sent a detailed and dated description of how she was staying active. It might not be the exact workout plan, but it’s similar. She’s on the right path.”
A new take on wellnessVan Beek’s vacation workout is a prime example of Mor-
gan’s training philosophy. Since taking over as director of The Vitality Center late last summer, he’s worked to bring a renewed fitness culture to the longstanding club. He encour-ages all his trainers to tap into their client’s emotional needs, such as the reasons for overeating or ignoring daily exercise.
In Van Beek’s case, she didn’t simply want to run. As a healthy woman in her mid-30s, she wanted to fight the ef-fects of aging and weight gain, even while enjoying social outings with friends and lengthy vacations with her husband.
“You see surprise and delight when our clients discover they’re doing something new and unexpected, and that cul-ture is important,” Morgan says. “It’s customer service, and for a long time, it wasn’t really part of what we in the fitness industry do.”
Morgan sees Vail as the ideal venue for this new, slightly unorthodox vision. For the past few years, the Vail Town Council has latched onto the concept of “medical tourism.” It’s a way to meld the resort environment with groundbreak-ing institutes like The Steadman Clinic and Shaw Regional Cancer Center, all in an effort to attract year-round tourism beyond recreation.
When it comes to fitness, Morgan believes The Vitality Center can be a cornerstone in Vail’s wellness community – a “well-living behavioral center,” as he describes it. The Vitality Center brings the Vail Athletic Club, massage thera-pists, chiropractors, holistic doctors, acupuncturists and more together under one roof, giving clients access to mul-

With a vacation-ready workout, Betsy Van Beek keeps her sights on training while in
Hawaii. By Phil Lindeman.
The vacation workoutBefore Betsy Van Beek headed to Hawaii for
three weeks, Jeff Morgan, her trainer and direc-tor of The Vitality Center in Vail, built a workout custom-made for travel. Strength training can be done in a hotel room, and beach runs are easy to pair with everyday lounging. Along with fist-sized portions at mealtime, the routine kept Van Beek – and any other vacationer – on track without seeming like a burden.
Monday – In-room strength training (30 to 45 minutes)
- Abdominal planks (two sets, one minutes in-tervals)
- Leg lunges (two sets of 40 reps)- Burpies (two sets of 10 to 15 reps)- Side-step touches (two sets of 20 reps)- Inner thigh crosses (two sets of 10 to 15 reps)Tuesday – Interval training on beach (20 to
30 minutes)- Two-minute warm-up- One minute running at 90 percent (10 reps)- One minute at 50 percent (10 reps)Wednesday – Endurance day (45 to 60 min-
utes)- 5-mile runThursday – Interval training on beach (20 to
30 minutes)- Repeat interval from TuesdayFriday – In-room strength training (30 to 45
minutes)- Repeat workout from MondaySaturday and Sunday – Rest- Stretch or massage (time will vary)

tiple opinions.“It’s a team working for you, not just one person, and that
fluctuation of routine can have a major impact,” Morgan says. “We look at everyone as an individual and don’t base any plans on past exercise experience. This is about build-ing a plan from the ground up, and that goes from fitness to overall wellness.”
For Van Beek’s plan, Morgan pulled from personal expe-rience as a high-level runner to help her overcome hurdles. Along with tweaking her gait to be more efficient – she had always pounded her feet, rather than floating over her toes – he also gave her nutrition advice. It wasn’t a strict diet by any means: When she left for vacation, he suggested she keep portion to roughly the size of her fist.
“If you try to jump into a new diet full-force, people usu-ally crumble,” Morgan says. “The approach makes all the difference.”
In the past two months, Van Beek has had the most trouble changing her eating habits, even as she finished the Bolder Boulder and feels confident about the upcoming half-mara-thon. Vacation has been a major test, and although she ad-mits to breaking the fist rule, she tweaked it in a similar way to the exercise plan.
“(A new diet) really isn’t part of my routine yet, so I just forgot about it,” Van Beek says. “Because we’ve been on vacation so long, my husband and I did have a plan to split meals and get away from restaurant-sized portions. That’s what we wanted to do, and we’ve stuck to it.”
Van Beek’s husband has had a definite impact on her fit-ness goals – he was her partner at the Bolder Boulder and joins her on beach runs – and is a de facto part of her well-ness team. Morgan believes his client is motivated enough to stick with the plan he’s outlined, but as a proponent of an all-angles approach, any additional help is welcome.
“(Fitness) is all about the team,” Morgan says. “That col-lection of people is very important, and it can mean the dif-ference between real progress and staying the same.”

Before the Fourth of July festivities get started with a lit-eral bang, the Town of Eagle will host its annual Flight Days celebration to get the summer kicked off right.
The event was first featured in 1922, and with 90 of them down, the Town of Eagle has perfected the art of having a good time.
“Not much has changed from last year’s format. We’ve got a pretty good system that works well for those who choose to come on by,” says Roxie Deane, who has helped the Town of Eagle pull off its summertime shindig for 28 years. “We like to have an event to celebrate the town and its locals.”
At Flight Days, there will be a bit of everything offered throughout the weekend to appease all different tastes. The party kicks off on Friday evening at 5 p.m. with some of our furry friends and little ones featured in a pet show and baby contest. Friday and Saturday night will have both early-bird and late-evening musical performances. The earlier perfor-mances go from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. followed by another show from 8:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. to close out the park for those not quite ready to pack it in for the evening. Featuring Colorado performers Who’s Drivin’, The Nacho Men, New Shoes, and Off the Record, the evenings will be rocking. In addition, the Alpine Wind Ensemble will offer their melodies at 2 p.m. Saturday, and the VFW Band will offer some post-parade entertainment at 11 a.m. Saturday as well.
Saturday will be a fully packed day beginning at 7 a.m., with some pancake grub compliments of the Eagle Lions Club to gear up the crowd for the annual parade on Broad-way. Kids of all ages should have plenty to keep them busy throughout the day Saturday with a craft tent from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., a horse shoe tournament, blooper ball tournament for those 10 and older, a basketball shootout, a magic show and a performance by the EVHS Dance team.
“It’s an event for and from our Eagle locals,” Dean says, giving full credit to those that helped put it together. “All of this is organized by only about 10 individuals who put a lot into making this happen every year.”
For those who wish, the park area of the event can be B.Y.O.B. if anyone wants to sling a cooler on down, but those hoping to join Sundays festivities may want to take it all in easy as the morning kicks off with a 5K and 10K walk/run, followed by Yoga in the Park before closing it out with
a talent show. New Eagle resident Sterling Shaw was impressed at the
scale of the upcoming festivities. “It’s really nice the town offers something like this for its
residents every year. I’m really hoping to be able to take in some of it, it will make for a nice welcome to the neighbor-hood,” she says.
All the scheduled events will be offered for free in the Eagle Town Park, minus the parade, which is still free of charge but will run down Broadway. Blooper ball will be in the nearby Bull Pasture Park, in tournament-style format with a $10 buck registration fee per team. For this year’s “Under the Big Top” theme, players are encouraged to throw together their best circus getups and compete for some priz-es. Even with all the freebies, you probably won’t want to leave the wallet at home, as there will be plenty of vendors -- a dozen for food alone -- as well as carnival style attrac-tions to spend some dough at. With early weather reports indicating a beautiful weekend for a summer celebration, grab a water bottle and some sunscreen for some festivities and tunes, and come check out what the Town of Eagle has cooked up for its residents and neighbors this year.

weather that ranged from uncomfortably hot to cold and rainy.
But his hardest day yet, and what he calls the most difficult day of the entire ride while in Germany, where he was set to meet his parents and a new member of his support crew.
Spencer battled rain, strong headwinds and frigid temper-atures. He went through all his clothing and called it a day at 135 miles, soaking wet and miserable.
“I was in my easiest gear on the flats and struggling trying to ride,” Spencer remembers. “I went through all my gloves, and all my rain gear was on, but everything was soaked. It was boring, cold and miserable. I wanted to give up way before. I was upset and angry for only going 135 miles that day, but I just couldn’t go further.”
Finish line in sightSpencer and his crew continued on through Switzerland
and France before making it to Spain, his final country. He cruised through Barcelona in the middle of the night to avoid traffic, and he continued along the coast to avoid the inland mountains as much as possible.
“We were doing fine until the rest arm broke on the (time trial) bars about 40 miles north of Valencia,” Spencer says. “I was so tired that day that I was devastated. It was the end
of the world, and I had to ride another 20 miles with the broken bars to meet the guys. I did 165 miles that day, and my back and shoulders were killing me from not being in the TT position.”
Other than the time trial bars, the rest of Spencer’s bike equipment held up incredibly well, and he says his bike and wheel setup, put together by Denver bike shop Ninji cycles, was an incredibly durable and comfortable ride.
Spencer’s longest ride came during his self-induced scare on the hills near Valencia, a ride that ended up lasting 37 hours over 441 miles. That night he descended down the climb to be greeted by the sight of the ocean again. The sun came up and he met back up with his crew, and the following hours were a blur.
“When I finally found the boys, they said I was not with it at all,” Spencer remembers. “I rode another couple hours, and every time I stopped, they thought I was going to stop and sleep, but I’d eat, feel better and keep going.”
Spencer considered riding straight through and reaching Tarifa in 21 days, but opted for an extra day so that he could finish his ride in the daylight. He arrived in Tarifa into blis-tering wind, typical of the beachside city. His support crew was hiding in a building to avoid getting sandblasted, and the group celebrated with a bottle of champagne and some
photos to document the moment.“When it ended, it was a weird feeling. I thought, ‘I’m
done. Oh wow, I’m done.’ It didn’t sink in at all,” Spencer says. “There was a map there of Europe in Tarifa, and it was pretty amazing to look at it and see how far I’d come. It was relief that it was done and excitement it was completed.”
Spencer’s ultimate goal, however, is to pedal around the world – he sees all his rides as training for that circumnavi-gation.
First, he’ll need some serious financial backing, and he’ll have to figure out a way to design an efficient pedal-powered boat fit for ocean crossings.
Already, Spencer is looking to his next big ride, just days after returning to the United States. He’s considering the Race Across Oregon, a 515-mile endeavor, the Colorado Trail Race, or a trip along the Pan-American Highway from Alaska to Chile.

in the Khumbu Valley.”The preparation for the summit took nearly three years, partly due to the fact that little
information existed on the mountain’s routes. Miller did some reconnaissance climbs, then attempted to climb it last year, only to be turned back by falling rock and warm tempera-tures. This year, however, with a team that included fellow female climbers Billi Bierling of Germany and Jing Wang of China, as well as her trusted Sherpa guide Nima Tsering, the team made a successful summit.
The team started from Everest base camp and ascended to Camp 2, where they took a sharp right on the less-traveled road toward the Nuptse base camp. From there, they made a 10-hour summit push along fixed lines set up by Sherpas on a combination of ice and rock. Conditions were favorable until they reached the summit, where the earth stopped and a huge cornice loomed ahead. As a result, Miller says it was not only dangerous, with the snow crumbling beneath their feet and “mushroom”-like snow mounds surrounding them, but it was difficult to tell precisely where the summit was.
“The wind made the summit ridge conditions dangerous, confusing and elusive,” Miller says. “I think as mountaineers, we have this idea that we’re at the top and it’s this concrete thing, but in reality, a lot of summits are corniced like that, and a lot are very dangerous.”
Miller summited at noon that day, and is clear that she used supplemental oxygen – a precaution she took thanks to two artificial hips – while her team members Bierling and Wang did not. After some summit celebrating, the team made the descent, mostly rappelling, which took about four hours.
“I think it was a lesson for me,” Miller says of the elusive summit. “We strive and strive and think we’re going to reach a place in our lives where we’ll meet our goal and it will be so clear. The life lesson was that it’s not always that clear – you don’t reach a pinnacle where it’s all done. Maybe the universe leaves just enough uncertainty that you’ll strive for something else.”
The summit also held special personal significance for Miller because it came on the five-year anniversary of a double hip replacement. After years of competitive mountain biking, running and mountaineering, she had worn out her hips, and after her surgery, she wasn’t sure if she’d be able to climb at an elite level again.
Expedition member Bierling, who met Miller in 2009 while climbing Everest, says Miller has always been her climbing mentor. The trek up Nuptse was among the most difficult they had ever done, and both women credit the Sherpas for setting up the route.
“It is a very special feeling to have been on a mountain that has only been attempted by 243 people and climbed by only 20 people. It was amazing to see both Everest and Lhotse
from a very different perspective, and it was pretty special to know that I had been to the summit of the other two mountains of the Horseshoe,” says Bierling.
At home in the Khumbu valleyMiller says that decades of climbing Himalayan peaks have not only given her a love
for those mountains, but for the people who call those peaks their own. Especially through Tsering, her guide and friend of seven years, she says she’s learned much from the Sherpa culture. She is still heavily involved in contributing to new schools in the region, along with buying books and supplies for the local children.
“Unfortunately, a lot of people go to climb Mount Everest and they never go back. I think that’s a shame, because it’s such an amazing, beautiful part of the world,” Miller says. “I want to respect the Sherpa people and what that part of the world has given me. I go and climb with Nima, and I go back to his home and meet his wife and kids. These people have nothing, and they’re so happy and generous. It gives me a different, profound and wonderful perspective.”
Miller still guides, and doesn’t doubt she’ll be back to visit her friends in Nepal and at Everest Base Camp, which she calls a “beautiful and magical place.”
“I found out who I was living on the side of Mount Everest,” Miller says. “It will always be very dear to my heart. As I get to be an older woman, that’s what I remember – not the summits, but the relationships and experiences I’ve had. You remember it as a beautiful day in the mountains with friends.”
Having left the highest peaks behind, Miller says she doesn’t have an inkling of regret.“I’m very content. Sometimes as climbers, we want to keep on, but I don’t want to love it
to death,” she says. “I’m not ashamed to tell people I was scared on Nuptse, and it’s OK to ease off. I hope it gives other people my age permission to back off.”
Miller looks forward to continuing as an outdoor fitness coach at the Vail Athletic Club and as the coach and manager for the U.S. Women’s Mountain Running Team. There are still other countries and smaller peaks she looks forward to seeing, she says.
“(Mountaineering) has been my passion, and I feel like I’ve done the best I could,” Miller says. “I have completed what I wanted to complete and dedicated some efforts to friends I’ve lost or people who can’t. I don’t feel like I’ve missed anything. can’t. I am grateful for the support that I have received from the Vail Valley.”

– work side jobs like Milhoan, yet they find ways to fit art into everyday life. Friedman is part owner of Yellowbelly in West Vail and created the restaurant’s wall stencils. For these young, local artists, a town-commissioned piece will be a major portfolio boost.
“I have really taken art in and made it my passion,” Mil-hoan says. “It’s not much of a career at the moment – the entire art world is struggling, unless you’re a Picasso or Van Gogh – but that’s the goal.”
Beautiful decay A career in street art will undoubtedly be difficult, but Mil-
hoan’s eye for elevating the everyday sets him aside from contemporaries. A graffiti artist like Shen might thrive off vivid, confetti-like designs, but Milhoan’s take on street art is to make the mundane intriguing. As with the most renowned artistic types, it’s a reflection of his life at the moment.
“My prior work was very bright and colorful, but that just didn’t fit with me,” Milhoan says. “The darker, more myste-rious work was a better fit – sort of haunted in its own way.
I’ll go through a train yard or alleyway and just take photos of what I find. When you focus on the details of those every-day objects, it becomes art.”
Milhoan admits his aesthetic is hard to describe, but in 70 or so pieces, it’s easy to follow his process of elevating the ordinary. One mural, a close-up of sheet metal with decayed, rusting rivets, is painted with near-photographic accuracy, and a set of numbers runs off the left side to suggest the work could run the entire length of a train. Another mural takes the same approach to a green Waste Management dumpster, complete with peeling caution stickers and the ghost of a simple, spray-painted smiley face.
In each piece, Milhoan is able to show the importance and inevitability of decay, and aside from his unofficial title as a street artist, this style is fitting for a skatepark. The Vail park is incredibly maintained – the town sets it up and breaks it down each summer – but across the county, skateparks are known for vandalism that has crossed the line into art.
“There isn’t much decay in the valley,” Milhoan says. “Everything is new and bright and shiny, but you get into
cities, and you find things that are run down. Some of these alleys aren’t even places you’d want to go, but that’s part of the appeal – the mystery.”
From Eppard’s perspective, Milhoan and his peers will bring much-needed personality to the skatepark, albeit in a controlled and respectable way. The town doesn’t want peo-ple randomly tagging the ramps, but commissioned pieces from talented street artists can replicate the feel of an inner-city skatepark.
As Milhoan alludes to, Vail isn’t quite the best place to foster his current style. He’ll eventually return to a city, where the allure of art in all forms is electric.
“I’ve tried every style of art you can imagine, just to dab-ble and see what I like,” Milhoan says. “There are so many forms out there, but I want my art to be about life – the little things.”

bought the 6,900-yard, Pete Dye-designed Cotton Ranch Club after it went bankrupt, the town asked industry veteran Tom Buzbee to head up operations. He had one goal: Rath-er than stick with a members-only mentality, he wanted to foster inclusivity, from affordable green fees to kid-friendly programs. The course still offers plenty of challenges, with links-style fairways on the front nine and high-mountain “mesa” holes on the back nine. It also boasts a driving range, practice green and even a pool for a dip after a round.
From the pro: “We have kids, cowboy boots and Cadil-lacs,” Buzbee says. “It works for everyone – no one is made to feel like they don’t belong. This course is incredible and worthy of a club atmosphere, but it’s the sort of place people want to be.”
Signature hole: The course swapped front and back nines this season, and the new hole 17 is memorable. At 164 yards, the par three hardly seems intimidating on paper, but a 200-foot vertical drop and inventive pin placement can make or break an entire round.
Beyond the greens: Buzbee is a major proponent of at-tracting young, enthusiastic players to a game he felt was occasionally off-putting. The price for youth lessons is based on the ability to pay, and he won Western Colorado PGA Pro
of the Year in 2012 for his role in the Golf in Schools pro-gram, which brought 400 local school children to the course for free hands-on instruction. The beautiful Creekside Grill gives adults a place to grab pub food or drinks.
Details: Par 72. Current rate is $49 for 18 holes, including a cart. An unlimited range pass is $300, and the 10-round course pass for $440 is transferable. The dress code is lax, but don’t expect to play in jeans. Visit www.gypsumcreek-golf.com for tee times and more info.
Vail Golf Club, VailThere’s some debate as to when the Vail Golf Club saw
its first official drive, but when local legend Ben Krueger opened a full 18 holes in 1966, the course was destined to rival its namesake ski resort. With long fairways, difficult short holes and the constant presence of Gore Creek, the club has earned a world-class reputation without the members-only mentality. Krueger still regularly plays, and director of golf Alice Plain is one of the few female PGA pros in the area. Best yet: The course, driving range and practice greens have always been public and always will be.
From the director: “Our setting is incredible,” Plain says. “Even if you’re hitting balls at the driving range, you’re hit-
ting right into the Gore Range. It’s a mountain course, but it’s in the valley and very walkable.”
Signature holes: Hole 15 is a tricky mountain par three, with a green that’s buttressed by Gore Creek. Leaving your ball short or long can dampen an otherwise stellar back nine. The par four on Hole 11 is another test of skill and accuracy, thanks to the creek winding along the entire right side.
Beyond the greens: As part of the Vail Recreation Dis-trict, the club offers numerous clinics for all abilities, from a summer-long junior golf program to “Coors Coaching Hour” on Tuesdays at 5 p.m., which includes two beers and instruction for $25. Happy Valley Grill features a menu by gourmet chef Hunter Smith and is open to non-players.
Details: Par 71. Peak season fees begin June 28 and are $87 (Eagle County residents with a cart) or $109 (non-resi-dents with a cart). Vail residents, junior and walking rates are also available, usually for $10 to $20 less. Dress code is non-denim slacks or shorts and collared shirts with sleeves for men and women. The code applies to the course and practice facilities. For more info or to reserve a tee time, see vailrec.com.

“Johnny Come Home” is about people who haven’t made it back to New Orleans after the storm. That was a collab-orative one. All of us had a part in either the lyrics, or the chords. “Cane Sugar,” the title track, is a great one and fun.
SP: How did you get started in music?CM: I started in the second or third grade with our school
choir. Some of the older kids came and knocked on the door and were looking for a volunteer for the choir. Of course, we’re in second grade, so we all just sit there staring. The teacher picked me – “Mulé, you’re always singing and mak-ing noise and disrupting class. You go.”
I think she just wanted to get rid of me. Our first gig was at the mall singing Christmas carols. I started playing guitar soon after that when my mom started playing and encour-
aged me to do it with her. I kept playing all through high school until I went to college and put it in the backseat. Then about two or three years into college I figured out there was nothing I wanted to do except play music. I had my first gig in 1991 with a college band. Later I started touring with a band called All That in 1998. It’s actually how I met Aaron.
SP: You and Wilkinson go back pretty far. CM: It’s kind of funny – we met in the back of a van.
There was a night before a gig that we needed someone to fill in, and we recruited Aaron to play bass with us. We had this van with no windows that we drove to gigs. All that was in the van was a lazy boy chair and a beanbag. It took us five or six hours to get to the club, so me and Aaron had a rehearsal session in the van where I basically taught him all our songs,
and it went great. SP: So what can people expect from a Honey Island
Swamp Band concert?CM: A lot of energy. They can expect some really good,
catchy songs, slide guitar, and we’ll bring an real Hammond B3, so that will add some real musicianship. It’s kinda just a good time. Our meshing slide guitar with the mandolin is a really unique sound you don’t find everywhere. Plus, me and Trevor (Brooks) have been playing together for 20 years. I’ve never had a band that you bring a song for someone to learn, and they’ll have it the first time. There’s chemistry there.

The Dallas Symphony Orchestra from June 28 to July 4, The Philadelphia Orchestra from July 5 to July 13 and the New York Philharmonic from July 19 to July 26. Bravo! is the only festival series in the nation to boast three top-notch resident orchestras, and each group performs an eclectic mix of music. Guest and solo musicians also make regular ap-pearances, including renowned jazz saxophonist Paquito D’Rivera with The Philadelphia Orchestra on July 5.
“Each orchestra brings a different sound and different style and different program,” Palermo says. “It’s an incred-ible and unusual experience to have all three at a venue like Ford Amphitheater. It’s really very beautiful.”
The Dallas Symphony Orchestra opens the festival with six performances between June 28 and July 4. For the past few years, DSO has been an early-series favorite, known for broad yet intelligent programming under music director Jaap van Zweden: Songs from Franz Schubert and Richard Strauss get the attention as a tribute to John Williams.
Nathan Olson, violinist and co-concert master, looks for-ward to Bravo! throughout the year. On one hand, it’s a sort of vacation for the orchestra – as he says, Dallas isn’t exactly the most comfortable place in July – but he’s come to appre-ciate the variety of music he finds at the festival.
“The Schubert and Strauss program has some of the most beautiful music out there, and you don’t often hear it with a full orchestra,” Olson says. “That really takes it to an en-tirely new level, but then we do something like Beethoven’s
5th. It’s a good mix of the well-known and lesser-known.”For McDermott, the Schubert and Strauss concert prom-
ises to be one-of-a-kind thanks to baritone Matthias Goerne of Germany. Although he isn’t quite a household name in the U.S., he has worked with DSO before, and that familiarity should make for an early series highlight.
“It’s magical when you have two musicians on-stage with the kind of bond Jaap and Matthias have,” McDermott says. “This festival deserves to be internationally recognized, and programs like that evening are truly something special.”
Chamber music“End of Time” is part of the three-performance Silver Oak
and Twomey Series, a music and wine program McDermott added to the festival lineup last year. It was greeted with unanimous, almost unexpected praise, and the artistic direc-tor knew it had to return this year with even more panache. On July 31 – the night before Messiaen – concertgoers will be treated to something wildly different but no less striking: Four pianists performing six pieces by candlelight, culmi-nating in Ludwig van Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor and Johann Sebastian Bach’s famous Gold-berg Variations. Both nights showcase a style of music much different than the lush, heart-stopping sounds Bravo! faithful are used to from years of full concerts at Ford Amphitheater, and McDermott claims Donovan Pavilion has become one of her favorite spots to play in Vail.
“So much of this chamber music was written for venues of this size,” McDermott says. “It’s such a great contrast to the orchestral repertoire. People can enter a whole new world of this small, intimate programming. The entire festival isn’t hoity-toity, and the chamber series really shows off that friendly vibe.”
Free concert seriesBetween the orchestra appearances and chamber music,
Bravo! boasts 14 free concerts spread throughout the valley. Many feature small collections of musicians from resident orchestras, like the four-person program on July 11 with members of The Philadelphia Orchestra playing Maurice Ravel, Scott Joplin, Claude Debussy and more.
One of the most prestigious – and likely popular – events in the free series comes on July 18, when the all-male choral ensemble Cantus performs music by Czech composers An-tonín Dvořák and Leoš Janáček. The Minnesota-based group will sing each piece a cappella, just as the nine members did during their Vail debut last summer, including classic choral songs like “Ave Maria.”
“Even if people don’t know the specific music, they can recognize the tunes and melodies,” McDermott says. “They’re very songful, moving and energetic.”

Featured Wedding of the Week
Selvy - Aguilar WeddingBride: Marisa Aguilar of San Francisco, Calif.
Groom: Kevin Selvy of Parker, Colo.Married: Sept. 24, 2012
Location: Cordillera, Colo.
How they metSix years ago, Kevin was working as a brewer at Anchor Brewing Company in San Francisco and Marisa was on a weekend trip in San Francisco. There was a
fluke hurricane drowning the city in torrential downpour, so all of Marisa’s plans were rained out. One of her friends suggested taking the brewery tour at An-chor Brewery and they managed to snag last-minute spots. It concluded with beer tastings in a private bar where employees hung out for shift drinks after work. Marisa was sampling delicious craft beers when she looked across the tasting room and saw Kevin. He came over and asked if he could refill her glass, and it was
love at first beer for the owners of Crazy Mountain Brewery.
How he proposedKevin and Marisa were driving from Vail to Denver to attend the Mile High Music Festival when Kevin suggested a detour to the Mother Cabrini Shrine. Legend
goes that the she struck a rock with her staff in 1912 and out flowed a spring of holy water. Marisa and Kevin drank some and also prayed in the small candle-filled chapel before they went up the 1,000 stairs to see the shrine itself. Unbeknownst to Kevin, one of Marisa’s prayers was to marry Kevin, and he proposed at
the top of the stairs, overlooking the entire Front Range. Marisa was touched that he proposed at a Sacred Heart site, her parish.The ring is a family heirloom and Marisa is the sixth generation woman to wear it. The ring has survived the potato famine and religious violence in Ireland, field
work, a boat voyage to America, five marriages, and five lifetimes.
Why they got married in the Vail Valley “Our life is centered around our business, and our business is in Edwards, so we decided to get married right here in our own backyard – one of the most cov-
eted destination wedding sites in the country,” Marisa says.

Editor’s Note: Minturn-based sports fan Patrick Whitehurst writes for www.fanrag.com. Read his mus-ings on the site or in Sneak-PEAK.
Inevitably, a letdown fol-lows moments of supreme exaltation.
College graduates cel-ebrate the conclusion of their class schedule with a couple of nights or in some
cases a week (I’m looking at you former Badgers, Buffaloes and Gators) of well-deserved partying. When they walk across the stage and accept their degree with a handshake from the dean, all the countless hours spent researching and writing term papers disappears. Earning a degree is certainly an achievement worth celebrat-ing with family and friends, but when the festivities are over reality sets in.
I recall that “congratulations” was immediately followed by, “Do you have a job yet?” or “So how do you plan on pay-ing back your student loans?”
I’m not married and I don’t have children, but I expect those situations follow a similar path. The responsibilities and expectations only increase after the union is officially recognized and you witness your little bundle of joy entering this world.
Like so many things in life, sports provide a framework for measuring success. The peaks can be tremendous and the valleys extremely low.
After winning championships, fans feel their teams are unbeatable and rightfully so. They wish the season could continue forever and the winning would never cease. The elation that Chicagoans felt after their beloved Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup by scoring two goals in 17 seconds during the final 90 seconds of game 6 in Boston will stay with them for a long time. That high will continue to some degree through the victory parade on Friday and then begins to dissipate as the off-season drags on. Being the defend-ing champs is great, but when the team fails to re-sign key free agents over the summer or loses a game or two early next year, the sting will be felt a little bit harder than if you hadn’t won the title. Fans can always recall how great it felt to watch Jonathan Toews lift the Cup and pass it off to his teammates, but when the next season begins your focus shifts to the immediate struggle ahead.
It’s not often that your team wins a championship; so if
you’re like a majority of the rooting public you can always look forward to the next season, the future being brightened by your team’s top draft pick, or another sport in general. The great thing about being a sports fan is that something new is always around the corner.
Cheer up Boston fans! So the Celtics traded Doc Rivers to the Clippers and the Bruins lost the Cup, at least the Red Sox are doing well and Tom Brady still quarterbacks your favorite football team. If Aaron Hernandez misses the entire season with legal issues or Rob Gronkowski fails to recover from his umpteenth surgery, you still have the Hoodie and Tebow on your side plus you get to play the Jets, Bills and Dolphins a combined six times!
With nearly half of the Major League Baseball season in the books, the only foregone conclusion is that nothing is de-cided yet. Last year’s Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera might be outdone by Baltimore’s Chris Davis in 2013. The Dodgers and Angels have failed to live up to high expecta-tions and insane yearly payrolls, but each team can turn their season around with a strong month or two.
The NBA Draft is Thursday and while pundits and experts suggest this may be one of the weakest classes in over a de-cade, there is no doubt that the future of certain franchises

River Reportbrought to you by
The Eagle Colorado River Gore Creek Roaring Fork
The Eagle has landed! Runoff is tailing off and clarity has been
excellent all the way down to the confluence. Floating is defiantly the best way to go right now but
wading is getting better by the day. Recommended Flies: 20 incher’s, Missing Link, Mercers Poxyback
baetis, and X-2 caddis.
Due to low water levels the Colorado is fishing like it does in August. Pretty much every bug is out and about right now, provid-ing some excellent dry fly fishing.
Recommended Flies: Mercers Poxyback PMD, Crystal Hunch-
back’s, Rubberleg Stimi’s and PMX’s.
The gore is still a bit high but it is fishing best from Lionshead
down. Just look for soft holding water and you will find fish.
Recommended Flies: Natural and olive WD-40’s, Purple JuJu baetis
and Chami Worms.
The Fork is a bit slower than the Eagle to lose flows this time of year. Fishing should improve greatly in the next week or so.
Recommended Flies: Cranefly Larva, Red Tag Sallies and Flash
Bang midges.

do you enjoy about that venue?RK: The first time we played there was 1999. It’s a great
place – it’s different now that they had the fire, but at the same time, they’ve really been able to rise out of the ashes, no pun intended. When we played that first time, we were under an overhang on the side of the lodge – just a tiny, tiny place – and we even played inside the lodge a few times. Now, they have that great stage, and there’s nothing like be-ing able to see the river while you play. It has a great vibe, great people, and our Colorado fans have always been good to us. The only problem is when a train goes by in the middle of a set.
SP: During these multi-day stops at State Bridge, do you have a chance to enjoy yourself off-stage?
RK: Yeah, on occasion when we do these two-night runs, we can get on the river and float. A few years ago, I even stuck around for a few days after and learned to kayak.
SP: Do you only tour with DSO, or do you also play in side projects?
RK: Part of the process of staying sane is making sure we have the chance to play other stuff on the road, including originals. For me, that’s anything other than Grateful Dead songs. I play all styles, and over the years, I’ve been in any number of groups – anything you can think of, really. At the moment I’m playing a few jazz gigs, and I even did a night of ‘80s dance music recently. If I get a call to do opera the-
ater, I’d do that. It’s just a love of playing.
SP: Has your love of the Grateful Dead made you better overall musician, the sort who can do opera one night and jazz the next?
RK: For me, it’s kind of the opposite. I came up playing anything and everything. I did three years of classical per-cussion and realized that wasn’t for me, then I took up jazz. While I was going through that period, I was also listening to the Grateful Dead. There was lots of cross-pollination there – it happened at once, where I was enjoying anything I could get my hands on.
SP: But Dark Star Orchestra is still your primary gig. Is it difficult to convince so many accomplished musicians to dedicate a career to a tribute band?
RK: We have the opportunity to improvise every night, and that gives us the chance to be creative and artistic and in-ventive. Some tribute bands just don’t have that opportunity, and I wouldn’t be able to handle that. We have a huge reper-toire, and it’s important for us to keep playing this music to protect the band’s legacy and keep it alive.
SP: Part of protecting that legacy is attention to detail, and your concerts go beyond simply playing the songs. What’s a favorite Grateful Dead performance to recreate?
RK: You know, it’s hard to say. All of them are so much fun, even if there are certain songs that are more fun than
others, or certain performances when everything clicked. It’s part of what made them the band they were. But it’s always fun to play a Grateful Dead set I attended in person, as a fan. That adds something a bit extra to it for me, to go back and remember how I felt while at the performance.
SP: On the flip side, what’s the most unorthodox Dead set you’ve performed?
RK: For the first 12 years of the band, we never delved super early into their catalogue. We didn’t touch what they did in the ‘60s, which is actually a very different band than many people are used to. Now, we’ve made a point to start exploring those ‘60s songs – we might have even done a set at State Bridge last year. They were very, very young at the time and learning who they were as musicians, and with us as a bunch of old guys, it’s a different sort of challenge to go back and recreate that sound and style.
SP: After 14 years with the band, do you feel you’ve found your calling?
RK: I’ve been able to travel and play music that makes people very happy, that reminds them of a time or place they may have experienced, like me, or have only heard about.
It could go on for 10 more years or 10 more weeks, but I’ve been very grateful – again, no pun intended – to be part of it.
DEAD STAR ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– [From page 8]
will be elevated or even forever altered by the players selected. There will always be busts and diamonds in the rough with every draft. Some sure-fire prospects will disappoint while other less regarded players will blossom into stars and faces of the franchise.
When the Portland Trailblazers selected the oft-injured Sam Bowie in the 1984 draft in-stead of a raw shooting guard from North Carolina named Michael Jordan, their franchise failed to achieve. When a different set of front office personnel for the Blazers used the first pick in 2007 on another big man with an injury history (Greg Oden) instead of selecting an All-American freshman that shattered scoring records (Kevin Durant) most people thought that drafting quality players just wasn’t Portland’s thing.
In 1996 the Charlotte Hornets used the 13th pick to select a young player straight out of a Philadelphia high school whose father was a former journeyman in the NBA. The Hornets traded the pick to the Los Angeles Lakers for future draft picks and few low-level no-names. Now, 17 successful years and five NBA Championships later, Kobe Bryant is embedded in the conversation as one of the top 10 players ever. For every Michael Olowokandi and Kwame Brown is a Dirk Nowitzki or Tony Parker.
Fans never know what’s in store, so stay tuned.

A legend in the graffiti art community, her works have been exhibited through such venues as the San Jose Museum of Art, The San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art and The Triton Museum of Art, as well as galleries nationwide. Meet Shen at the Vail Arts Festival where she will be demonstrating some of the techniques she has mastered in painting throughout her expansive career.
