SP: Introduce us to the band. Who plays what?

ML: What is really great about us coming back to Colorado and to play this show in particular is that we have all five original members of the band. There is myself and Wayne Healy, who is another sort-of founder of the band. There is Simon Horrocks on drums. Then there are the brothers, Jim and Rob Bonaccorsi – a couple of good Chicago Italians. Jim plays bass and Rob Or, as the band’s founding member Marty Lloyd puts it, the shares guitar and vocals with myself and Wayne.

SneakPEAK: Do you guys play much in Colorado?

Marty Lloyd: Oh God, yeah. Our second home is Colorado pretty much. When we were starting out, being a Chicago band, we moved West playing a lot of college towns. We were selling CDs out of the trunk of our car and went to visit some friends in Aspen. We made so many friends out there that we found our way back there pretty often.

SP: Will some of the new stuff be played in Vail?

ML: I think so. We’ve played four of five new ones, and Vail should get a taste of some of the new stuff. We’re not sure how it is going to come out yet. We have done it a few different ways. We can spotlight it or come out and play in the rawest form – just the guitars and the words. How we’re going to showcase it, we’re not sure yet.

Panzanella salad at Timber Hearth.

Hearth

Codillera’s casual dining spot reopens after two-year hiatus with fresh approach. By Melanie Wong. Cover by Kent Pettit.

F

or two years, the dining room at the Timber Hearth Grill at the Club at Cordillera has sat dark and empty, echoes bouncing off the exposed wooden rafters and dust collecting on its gargantuan stone fireplace.

But as of last week, the grill is looking and feeling remarkably different. It’s up and running again – the once unused Mountain Course right outside its patio is green and manicured, and appetizing smells waft from the kitchen. This time around, as Cordillera rises from a couple years fraught with bankruptcy and litigation, the club’s restaurants are reopening, and Timber Hearth does so with a new face and an open invitation to the public. Once a members-only club, new executive chef David Richmond has crafted a casual gourmet menu, and the hope is that it will appeal to both regular club members and area residents as a new dining option.

If it’s a nice day, have your meal on the large stone patio overlooking the surrounding mountains and the green. For those willing to work a bit for their meals and glass of wine, it’s the perfect location for a weekend bike ride up the winding Squaw Creek Road, ending at the Hearth. Don’t worry if you leave having indulged a little too much – it’s all downhill back home.

Simple and approachable What’s remarkable is that with all the country-club trappings, the meals don’t come at country-club prices. The priciest item on the dinner menu is a New York steak for $28, and most dishes – such as pasta tossed with fresh heirloom tomatoes, earthy vegetables and smoky chicken – run in the teens. The restaurant also boasts a great happy hour from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., and the bar mixes up $5 well drinks all day.

Richmond’s philosophy is that with the Hearth’s inviting dining room, million-dollar views and a menu with top-notch food at a friendly price, people will come.

“We are trying to be as sustainable as possible, and make everything from scratch, from the bread to the vinaigrettes,” Richmond says. “I think the more creative we can be, the better off we are, but nothing is forced or overworked. At Timber Hearth, we want to create a warm, comfortable, inviting menu.”

The chef draws from an international background (he grew up in Hong Kong, Japan and Germany), and his résumé spans everything from managing the kitchens of four-star hotels to helping launch a Chicago microbrewery. However, Richmond’s kitchen creations remain simple and approachable.

“I believe that simplicity, flavor and consistent quality of product rule the day,” he says. “I hope to bring that sensibility to the Club at Cordillera.”

Sit down under the strong wood rafters or around the restaurant’s namesake, a towering stone fireplace, and you can order well-executed Rocky Mountain staples like grilled trout or roasted lamb loin, or try some of Richmond’s more inventive dishes, which are resolutely Colorado, but with Italian flair. Even something as casual as a club sandwich gets a new

twist with the addition of fire-grilled hatch chilies and ciabatta bread.

For munching after a day of activities, try a few of Timber Hearth’s sharable plates. The salmon sliders are easily one of the most popular items on the menu, featuring seasoned, meaty salmon cakes topped with crispy French onions, all sandwiched on a sweet roll and made to share.

Or, try the flatbread, a pita pizza of sorts that could make a meal for one. It brings an unlikely combination of flavors – seared lamb, romesco sauce, sweet pepper confit and feta cheese – that work together surprisingly well.

If you’re skipping the meat, try the five-cheese ravioli, served simply with Gorgonzola sauce and tangy arugula salad.

The comeback Timber Hearth was among several of the Club’s features that sat vacant and unused during the property’s bankruptcy ordeal. But now, under the new ownership of golf management company Troon, Timber Hearth and the Club’s two other restaurants, The Chaparral and The Summit (which was closed for most of last year), will be open for business this summer.

The Chaparral opened May 18, and The Summit opened June 12. Work is underway on the Mountain Course, which will be open for play Aug. 1.

SneakPICKS at Timber Hearth Grill

The restaurant is open for lunch from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and dinner from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. Be sure to call ahead for availability.

Salmon sliders – Seasoned, meaty salmon cakes topped with crispy French onions, all sandwiched on a sweet roll ($9).

Panzanella bread salad – Greens peppered with heirloom tomatoes, roasted peppers, grilled onions, anchovies, capers and house-made bread pieces ($9).

Five-cheese ravioli – Generously sized bites of cheese ravioli, smothered in tangy red sauce and served with arugula salad ($15).

Standing on Timber Hearth’s stone patio, looking out at the emerald green of the golf course and the wooded mountains beyond it, you’d never guess that all of it has sat largely neglected. Richmond invites curious diners to make the trek up the hill to check out the view and the new vibe.

“This is a 100-percent reworking of what it once was,” Richmond says. “It’s inviting, fire-front food. The goal was to offer members and guests and people who live in town a new place to eat.”

Cycling chef Biju Thomas and physiologist Allen Lim talk fresh, simple nutrition for athletes.

Interviewed by Phil Lindeman.

Sports physiologist Allen Lim. Lauren DeBell photos.

Chef Biju Thomas.

For the past few decades, cycling and nutrition didn’t quite gel – no pun intended.

Athletes across the world looked to quick, calorie-packed energy bars and gels to make it through weeklong races.

These cycle-friendly meals were perfect for people who never stopped moving, but they were often tasteless at best and gag-inducing at worst.

In 2009, Colorado-based chef and cycling fanatic Biju Thomas met like-minded physiologist Allen Lim. Both were food fanatics – Thomas boasts 20 years in the restaurant business, while Lim worked the seductive simplicity of Asian cooking into meals for the likes of Lance Armstrong – and both knew energy bars weren’t the key to taking a podium. Simple, recognizable meals were just as good and, more importantly, delicious.

Come 2011, Thomas and Lim had turned their experiences with Armstrong, Levi Leipheimer and more superstars of the international cycling circuit into a book, “The Feed Zone Cookbook.� It boasts dozens of recipes for exercise nutrition with style, perfected in Thomas’ kitchen with Lim’s scientific expertise.

Of course, with invention and success comes a full schedule. While Lim is busy overseeing his nutrition company,

What’s your schedule like during summer?

Before the two visit The Bookworm in Edwards, SneakPEAK caught Thomas on his way back from an event in Arizona to chat about the evolution of cycling nutrition, why he and Lim are a good team, and how something as simple as a gluten-free batter can

SP: One reason you started the Feed Zone series was to give everyday athletes options beyond energy bars and gels.

For athletes at any level, is it important for eating to be more than nutrition?

BT: Absolutely. We went though a period in the mid1980s, right after Power Bar came on, and we thought we’d found the Holy Grail of nutrition. It was kind of like the old Jetsons thing – everything you’d want in one package. Then the gels came out, and many athletes thought piling all those calories into your body was the answer, but it’s not.

3,000 are likely to find one. The chances are even lower if the patient comes from an ethnic background.

Get matched For donor Malcolm Williams, becoming a bone marrow match was the last thing on his mind when he arrived in Vail with his wife for a weekend getaway last June. Williams, who lived in Denver at the time, had recently found out his mother was diagnosed with cancer in Texas, and he had decided to move the family back to care for her.

The Williams’ headed up to the mountains to decompress and clear their heads, where they heard about the Vail Rocks event and the free concert.

“There was a cheek swab booth, and I didn’t think too much about it,” says Williams, 37. “My mom has a different kind of cancer that isn’t treated with bone marrow transplants, but it still hit home for me, and obviously I wanted to do anything I could to help.”

In March, Willaims received a call that he might be a match, and without hesitation, he said, “Yes.” The process involves some extensive testing and travel to a marrow transplant center. As Henn explains, there’s a common misconception about bone marrow donation. Many people think it’s incredibly painful and invasive – think Will Smith’s “Seven Pounds” or “My Sister’s Keeper” – but new techniques today make the donor experience relatively easy.

Donors receive injections that push stem cells into the blood for five days. On the fifth day, the donor gives blood, and the stem cells are filtered out.

For Willaims, the actual blood transfusion took five to six hours, and he says he was out running again within the next couple days. He doesn’t know too much about the recipient of his donation – only that she is a 28-year-old woman from France – but he says he thinks about it often.

“Any discomfort I had and the time I committed makes everything no big deal,” Williams says. “What the recipient is going through is pretty remarkable – that’s why I did it. It was an amazing experience. I think about it daily, and hope she’s doing well.”

Athletic recovery, done right

Ice, sleep and chocolate milk: A pro triathlete on post-workout musts

By John O’Neill

The sun is setting, and you’ve just finished your final lift or interval of the day. You’ve climbed your last hill and racked your bike on top of your car or peeled off your jogging shoes. The workout was hard, but you feel pretty good – muscles are tired but still limber from the hard efforts.

You hop in the car and drive home. There, you eat some leftovers, have a glass of water and stay up watching your favorite television program before heading off to bed.

But the morning spells trouble. You roll out of bed. You take your first step, then your second. It feels like somebody snuck into your room while you were sleeping and beat your legs with a bat.

You have just failed at one of the most crucial aspects of athletics: recovery.

Working out is hard. The final effort of the day, as much as you may wish, does not conclude a training session, as any elite athlete will tell you. On the agenda remains a focus on repairing your body so you can come back strong the next day, the day after that, and so on.

Justin Roeder is a professional triathlete from Fishers, Ind. who lives and trains at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. From both his academia and first-hand experiences as a collegiate runner and exercise science professional, he knows recovery. His current workout regiment takes him through, on average, three workouts a day and he logs anywhere form 24 to 30 hours of training each week between swimming, running, cycling and strength training.

Roeder sat down with SneakPEAK to break down his favorite recovery methods that get him from one workout to the next, and there’s much to learn for all levels of athletes from his advice. His ideal system after a day of workouts includes chocolate milk, some muscle compression and good sleep.

Sounds simple enough, right?

Nutrition There is a window after a workout in which you can best refuel. They call this the “glycogen window,” and that window remains open for about 15 to 30 minutes after a workout. It is crucial to eat or drink something of sustenance during this time. After that window closes, your body becomes less receptive to the nutrients that repair the damage that was done to your body during a workout, which slows recovery and puts you behind for your next workout.

Roeder likes chocolate milk, and many athletes use this as a sort of replacement for the expensive recovery shakes. You can get a gallon of chocolate milk that will last for a week of workouts for $3 or $4. It has a good carbohydrate-to-protein ratio and a good amount of fat. It helps rebuild the muscles that have been broken down. Also, the sugars help pick you

up and make you feel good.

You can also add to chocolate milk and make your own recovery shake.

“I’ll make a smoothie with ice, chocolate milk, bananas, peanut butter and a small package of instant oatmeal. It is cheap; it has a ton of nutrients, carbs and protein. And, it tastes great,” says Roeder.

Compression There are not a ton of studies on compression, but the obvious benefit of compression is that it increases blood flow.

This brings fresh blood to exhausted muscles faster than normal, or without compression. Just like patients wear compression socks at a hospital after a surgery to speed recovery, athletes can benefit from athletic compression socks to push old blood out and bring new blood in.

A much more involved method involves NormaTec Boots (essentially big boots that come up to your upper thigh with air compartments that squeeze your legs with air up to 100 psi.) However, these can be costly and might not be in the budget for the normal athlete. You can also do something simple that doesn’t cost anything – put your feet up on the wall. The other compression tools (socks and NormaTec boots) are great, but elevating your legs can flush them out, and it doesn’t cost anything but time.

functioning, repairs are made best when you are asleep.

Anytime you can get in a deep sleep with full REM cycles, your body is healing itself. Getting that deep sleep at night is crucial. Naps can also help between workouts. Anytime you can get off your feet and relax, you are setting yourself up well to come back strong in the next workout.

Going easy and cooling down It may seem counterintuitive, but doing something active, yet easy, also helps recovery. In college (when Roeder was running for Butler University), the team would do afternoon “shakeout” runs. The idea was easy running to help recover from the hard running.

By doing these easier efforts after a hard training day, you are getting your heart rate back up and moving the blood around your body without doing the damage of a hard workout. The blood flow helps flush out waste that was created during the harder workout as well. It doesn’t always have to be a run. It can be a brisk walk in the evening after dinner or before bed.

The same concept goes for the time immediately following a hard effort, commonly referred to as a cool down. The concept is the same – getting the muscles moving again can ultimately bring the heart rate down, bring in new blood and help the muscles recover.

Sleep Ice Sleep is probably the most important and underrated asIce can be a tough one. Forever, everyone was all about icpect of recovery. It is the best way that your body can heal ing after workouts. There is a benefit in bringing inflammaitself naturally – when training hard, you need to get eight tion down, but people are now against icing because it can to 10 hours of sleep minimum.

Get fit series

Edwards resident Deborah Wills takes a stroll around her neighborhood - an activity she was unable to enjoy until recent months. Once debilitated by injuries, she is now making strides in her rehabilitation with the help of Dogma Athletica trainer Kirsten Stuart. Katie Anderson photo.

A step back, two steps forward in one woman’s recovery.

By Melanie Wong. and struggled with the step-up exercises she’d done just fine the week before.

“It was not good at all, and it was obvious,” Wills says.

“Neither (Stuart nor I) could figure out why.”

A couple days later, Wills fell at home, landing on her hip.

The next day, she couldn’t put weight on the leg. Doctors said she hadn’t done any serious damage and recommended rest and ice. She felt much better a few days later, but had to skip a training session with Stuart. Wills was discouraged, but Stuart chalked it up to a minor setback and part of the recovery process.

“In our society, everything’s a quick fix, but you need to focus on the fact that you have good days along with the bad days, and that eventually that balance starts to equalize, and you will start having more and more good days,” Stuart says.

“You have to look at the big picture.”

Ups and downs

Two steps forward And Stuart was right – earlier this week, Wills was not only celebrating a full recovery from the fall, but was also highly motivated to train.

While on vacation in Las Vegas, she was equipped with pool exercises Stuart had outlined for her. The workouts involved a lot of leg movement, core work and even some exercises that would have been high-impact on dry ground.

“It made me feel great that I could jump up and down and all this stuff you couldn’t do out of the water,” Wills says.

“Kirsten wrote down exactly what she wanted me to do – it was probably about one hour worth of exercises, but I was stretching it out into two hours because I enjoyed it so much.

When I see her next week, I hope she’ll notice some improvement.”

Wills hopes to continue the water exercises on her own in Edwards, and aims to walk the less-than-quarter-mile route from her home to the pool, something she was unable to do previously.

Stuart thinks this is only the beginning for Wills, now that she’s regaining confidence in her mobility and able to do some exercises on her own. In future training sessions, they plan to continue working on balance, muscle strength and dynamic movements – right now, movements like reaching up to get something off a shelf, or bending down to pick up a heavier object, are still difficult. However, Stuart says some of the activities Wills wants to return to – snowshoeing, playing golf or even riding horses – are not far-fetched notions.

“A lot of her confidence is coming back because she’s feeling a lot more stable,” Stuart says. “She’s constantly looking around and motivating herself in her head that she wants to do this or that. She’s now able to look forward and see where she wants to be rather than where she’s at.”

was really a big deal, because before that, every step I took I had to be very aware of. I was just walking, and when I did that, it was an ‘a-ha’ moment.”

It is a noteworthy accomplishment, considering that until a few months ago, the Edwards resident couldn’t manage a trip to the grocery store without the aid of a cane. With the help of Dogma Athletica trainer Kirsten Stuart, whom Wills has been working with since the end of last year, she has slowly regained strength and function that was lost after tearing her Achilles heel, separating a glute muscle and undergoing several surgeries to repair it all.

As she strolled along, she realized that she was walking, and for the first time in a very long time, she wasn’t thinking about taking her next step.

It was a moment most people would have taken for granted, a thought that wouldn’t even register, but for Wills, who has been recovering from multiple injuries and surgeries over the last few years, it was monumental.

“It dawned on me that I was thinking of something else other than walking,” says Wills, 66. “At that point, it just came completely natural, and it felt completely natural. That

One step back The past couple of weeks have been exciting for Wills as she discovers her newfound functionality. She spent a week visiting her daughter in Las Vegas, where she was able to shop and walk around town without her cane or constant pain.

“I did not use my cane once the entire week,” says Wills, her voice full of pride. “My daughter was very pleased. The only thing was that sometimes I had to tell her, ‘Slow down a little!’ That was it. We went for hours, and it was great.”

There’s a noticeable pep in Wills’ demeanor that is a marked change from a couple weeks ago.

The week before her Las Vegas trip, Wills came to her training session “back to her old self,” physically and menSneakPEAK editor Melanie Wong can be reached at tally. She was dragging her feet a bit, had trouble balancing, Melanie@sneakpeakvail.com

Queen

of the

court

Olympian Kerri Walsh Jennings comes to Vail for 41st King of the Mountain volleyball tourney.

By Phil Lindeman.

A

ringtone might say more about Kerri Walsh Jennings than a trophy case overflowing with medals.

The crackling, digitized version of Flo Rida’s up-temp “Good Feeling” is the first sound I hear when calling Walsh Jennings, and it’s a near-perfect match for the 34-year-old: bubbly, energetic, ubiquitous – everything the title promises.

Like Walsh Jennings, the song seemed to dominate the U.S. last summer, and even if Flo Rida didn’t quite earn unanimous praise, the 6-foot, 3-inch sand volleyball champion did.

Along with longtime doubles partner Misty May-Treanor, Walsh Jennings is easily the most decorated player in the sport’s history. The two have dominated the sport for more than a decade, winning three consecutive Olympic gold medals between 2004 and 2012. During that run, they lost just once in 43 sets – never an entire match. If ever there were a beach volleyball dynasty, Walsh Jennings and May-Treanor are it.

Despite her impressive accomplishments, Walsh Jennings is very much the outgoing, energetic Californian millions of viewers know from her emotional celebration at the London Olympics. She recently welcomed her third child with Casey Jennings, a fellow veteran of the Association of Volleyball Professionals tour, and she’s prepping for a run at Olympic gold in Rio de Janeiro.

Before tackling this summer’s AVP tour with a new partner – May-Treanor announced her retirement shortly after the London win – Walsh Jennings comes to Vail for the 41-yearold King of the Mountain volleyball tournament. On Friday beginning at 10:30 a.m., she and a handful of other pros will hold a free – yes, free – juniors clinic at Ford Park. It’s a cornerstone of the tournament, which last year drew 555 doubles teams and more than 1,000 spectators, including an impressive number of father/child teams for Sunday afternoon play on Father’s Day.

Bump, set, spike

Along with Walsh Jennings, this weekend’s King of the Mountain volleyball tournament offers plenty of diversions for players and spectators alike. Doubles-only play runs from Friday morning to Sunday afternoon, with 26 divisions for all levels, including masters, seniors, co-ed and father/child teams.

Organizers have room for nearly 65 nets on the grass fields at Ford Park, and teams can register up to the day before a division begins play.

All events are free to watch, including the Open matches on Vail’s sand courts. For more information on times and fees, visit the tournament website at www.kingofthemountainvolleyball.com.

Players protect against a point at last year’s King of the Mountain volleyball tournament in Vail. The three-day event returns this weekend as the largest sand tourney in North America, with more than 550 doubles teams. Bob Blackburn Photography LLC. Although Walsh Jennings won’t play in the competitive Open division, she’ll sign autographs after the clinic. SneakPEAK called the Olympian after she left the sand courts at Manhattan Beach, Calif., to chat about her career after May-Treanor, the athletic boost of motherhood and why she’s a bad liar, especially on Twitter.

SneakPEAK: When you were an up-and-coming player, did you spend much time at massive regional tournaments like King of the Mountain?

Kerri Walsh Jennings: I really just went where the schedule took me, but I remember going to the Colorado Crossroads (Junior Nationals Qualifier). Being in downtown Denver was a blast, because you could hang out and shop and enjoy yourself. One year it even snowed.

SP: Hold on – you’ve played beach volleyball in the snow?

KWJ: (Laughs) Yes, but not Colorado. We were in Lake Tahoe for a tournament one year, and they had an early snow. It was only one day, so we bundled up and just played on.

SP: In a recent article by Bleacher Report, you said you’ll play professionally as long as you keep getting better. After three Olympic Gold medals with Misty May, what does better mean?

KWJ: More consistent, with more tools in my toolkit. I don’t have anything left to prove, but I certainly want to keep growing as an athlete. When I grow on the court, I grow off the court as well. As long as my heart is with it, that’s an important component.

SP: What tools are lacking?

Erin Huck (Tokyo Joe’s) had a breakout performance, beating a stacked field that included a national champion and an Olympian. On the men’s side, 20-year-old Howard Grotts (Specialized) took charge of the race early on and held off an equally impressive field of competitors. In the Thule Road Bike Time Trial up Vail Pass, pro cyclist Mara Abbott of Boulder defended her title from last year and improved her time by more than two minutes to finish in 30:20.28.

One of the most popular spectator events at the Games proved to be the 2013 Slackline World Championships, as a crowd of thousands gathered to watch 14-year-old Californian Alex Mason defeat current world champion Lukas Huber of Italy.

Elisa Bernardo at the Vail Library Local guitarist, Elisa Bernardo, will play a concert at the Vail Public Library (292 W. Meadow Drive, Vail) at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 19. Bernardo has been a full-time resident of Vail since 1980 and received her degree in guitar performance with a minor in flute pedagogy from the University of Colorado. During her college studies, Bernardo was introduced to the Suzuki Method, which at that time was unavailable for guitar. Her pursuit, continued study and belief in the method eventually led her into developing a Suzuki method program for the guitar itself. Her lifelong love of music and devotion to teaching has led to Bernardo’s reputation as one of the most sought after Suzuki teachers in the Rocky Mountain region. Founded in 1992, Bernardo has taught hundreds of children and adults through her privately owned studio, Vail Suzuki Guitar and Flute.

In addition to Bernardo’s renowned studio, she also founded the Synergy Flute and Guitar Duo along with partner flutist Cathy Blickenstaff. The duo has performed throughout the Vail Valley since 1989. Bernardo can also be heard performing on flute with guitarist Marc Trevino. Together they perform a wide range of repertoire from classical to jazz, perfect for any occasion.

This concert is free and open to the public. For more information, please call 970-479-2187.

Music on the deck begins at Minturn Saloon It’s summer in Minturn, and The Minturn Saloon will begin its weekly live music acts, including Scotty Kabel and Friends and Saloon newcomer Pat Hamilton. Hamilton will be playing on Sunday afternoons on the Minturn Saloon’s riverside deck beginning on Sunday, June 16. Music will begin at 5 p.m. and last until about 7 p.m.

Hamilton performs original songs as well as covers of folk, light jazz and rock hits, ranging from Lucinda Williams to Norah Jones to the Grateful Dead. A longtime local musician, she has opened for appearances of Lyle Lovett, The Dixie Chicks, and Doc Watson. Along with pianist Peter Vavra, Pat performs an annual Christmas in Vail concert for the benefit of the Salvation Army and over the years has raised close to $250,000 for the organization. Hamilton also performs at Splendido in Beaver Creek and the Marriott Hotel Resort and Spa in Vail.

The Minturn Saloon is also continuing its “Saturday Night Live” music with Scotty Kabel and Friends beginning Saturday, June 15. Kabel has been packing fans into the Saloon bar Saturday nights for the last two years and has been a leading force in many of the region’s top bands, including Bonfire Dub, Little Hercules, Min’urn Express and more.

Music begins about 9 p.m.

In 2012, with a leader change nearly every day, one of the closest professional races in U.S. history came down to the final moments of the Individual Time Trial in Denver.

This year’s race promises the return of the top-three teams from last year, including overall team winner RadioShack Leopard Trek.

Three teams will make their first appearance in the race, including Sky Pro Cycling, COLOMBIA and Jamis-Hagens Berman p/b Sutter Home. Seven veteran teams will be returning for a third time in 2013 – BMC Racing Team, Team Garmin-Sharp, Cannondale Pro Cycling, RadioShack Leopard Trek, Team Novo Nordisk (formerly Team Type 1), UnitedHealthcare Pro Cycling and Bissell Pro Cycling.

“We always look forward to racing in the USA Pro Challenge every year,” says Jim Ochowicz, team president/general manager of BMC Racing. “It tests our team’s resources in the mountains of Colorado, which are famous in the world of cycling for their difficult ascents and descents. It comes at a great time in the season when most racers are in peak condition and eager to test their legs. The BMC Racing Team is ready to challenge for the overall race lead each and every

day.”

Let’s get this party started

Party in the Park returns to Gypsum with free music, movies

By Phil Lindeman

Summertime is party time in Gypsum.

The town’s annual Party in the Park series returned last weekend, drawing nearly 100 down-valley residents to Lundgren Theater for a warm, laid-back evening of free music and a movie.

Each Friday night until July 5 – just in time to relax before the massive Gypsum Daze celebration on July 20 – the town hosts bands at 7 p.m., followed by a family-friendly movie come sundown. Through it all, kids are treated to crafts, a bounce castles and other activities in the park surrounding the theater, found near the Gypsum Recreation Center. This week brings Front Range funk/big-band act Funkiphino and the anticipated “Hunger Games” film.

Over the past few years, the evenings have morphed from small-time affairs into community-wide gatherings, drawing larger bands and, in turn, larger crowds. It has become a beloved time for families to lounge with a picnic basket and close friends, although the four-legged variety are asked to stay home.

Unlike many other signature summer activities around the valley – think Vail’s Bravo! concert series or even Gypsum Daze – Party in the Park boasts one important feature: It costs nothing, or at least as close to nothing as you like. Local eatery Manto’s Pizza is on-hand throughout the series selling slices and a few other finger foods, but every other activity on the grassy lawn is free.

Mark Chenoweth, lead guitarist for the Eagle-based cover band Already Gone, says that Party in the Park has become a favorite addition to the group’s slate of weddings, festivals and other park-bound performances across the state.

“The town really treats us like rock stars, and that’s not the sort of thing you see with a lot of shows,” says Chenoweth, who plays with his band on June 28. “We love playing the park because everything is done well. The atmosphere is enjoyable – we’re not just playing for people, we’re playing for people I know.”

And Chenoweth isn’t the only talented local to grace the theater in early summer. Here’s a quick look at the music, performances and more Gypsum has in store for Friday evening revelers. Let the party begin.

Mini Broadway The Porchlight Players, an amateur performing arts troupe based down-valley, is a favorite throughout the year for quirky, well-made renditions of beloved plays and musicals.

(The annual “Play in the Park” production closes the summer in style.)

For the past seven years, the Porchlight Players Children’s Theater has drawn families and theater lovers alike to Par-

Children relax on the lawn during last Friday’s Party in the Park in Gypsum. The weekly events run through July 5 with free music, movies, crafts and more, all in a family-friendly environment. Katie Anderson photo. ty in the Park for scaled-down versions of Broadway fare.

On June 21, audiences are treated to a free performance of “Aladdin, Jr.,” a kid-friendly take on the classic tale of a poor, well-meaning street urchin with dreams of wooing a powerful princess. Set in the plush palaces and dusty streets of the Middle East, the 75-minute production is filled with colorful sets, high-energy songs and characters even preschoolers recognize. Best of all, the 35 performers are local kids between fourth and ninth grade. Rather than simply show the Disney cartoon on a theater screen, audiences watch as up-and-coming actors relive Aladdin’s story, complete with sets and a few costumes they crafted during a three-week workshop with volunteers from the Porchlight Players troupe.

Party in the Park

June 14 – Funkiphino with “Hunger Games” June 21 – “Aladdin, Jr.” by Porchlight Players Children’s Theatre June 28 – Already Gone with “Hotel Transylvania” July 5 – Eliminator with “Over the Hedge” Music begins at 7 p.m. at Lundgren Theater near the Gypsum Recreation Center, and films begin around dusk. The Porchlight Players performance begins at 6 p.m. Music, films, bounce castle, crafts and other activities are all free, with food to purchase on-site.

“We have kids playing everything from harem girls to merchants to palace guards,” says Ann Olin, president of Porchlight Players. “We really like to choose productions that give each kid their time in the spotlight, so to speak.”

For “Aladdin, Jr.,” preparing for that big moment began the first week of June, when Olin and workshop director Jillian Kiss, a valley native and theater minor at the University of Colorado-Boulder, first met the group of eager actors. Like the adults who are drawn to Porchlight Players, the group is

wildly diverse: Mixed with multi-year returners are a handful of first-timers, including siblings who couldn’t wait to follow in the thespian steps of an older brother or sister.

“I jokingly refer to them as my ‘motley crew,’” Olin says.

“They come in as kids who have never really worked together, and in just three weeks, we put together an entire production.

This summer camp has really become one of our signature performances.”

Olin also echoes Chenoweth, saying organizers at the town make a point to work with community-based groups like Porchlight Players. It lends Party in the Park a neighborly vibe, and although plenty of parents come to watch their children perform, people with no connection to the actors are equally enthralled.

“The town really tries their hardest to make these enjoyable for everyone, and we’ve had a lot of fun over the years,” Olin says. “This is geared for the community.”

Music Aside from the “Aladdin, Jr.” production, the remainder of the Party in the Park schedule is filled with local and regional bands. Most are cover acts, but it doesn’t make them any less entertaining.

Take Chenoweth’s Already Gone, which he describes as “absolutely a rock band,” yet plays everything from Grace Potter and the Nocturnals to The Black Eyed Peas. It’s an eclectic mix, but after three years as a fixture at Party in the Park, locals have come to enjoy the group’s high-energy take on songs from every corner of the pop charts. Lead singer Lisa Popish touts a mesmerizing voice, and it’s little wonder the band’s Nocturnals covers rival the original.

“You’ll hear a sound you wouldn’t expect from a local band,” Chenoweth says. “We always want to bring the party.

When people around us are into the music and enjoying the night, that’s when we’re at our best.”

[From page 5]

You have to get calories in a way that the body can actually absorb them and use them. We approach food with all of our senses, so even at a high level of competition, your body still has to go through the process of eating real food.

started making them rice cakes, and he was the first person to go to Europe with the rice cooker. Now, most major teams travel with a rice cooker. The food we now eat is normal – only the appearance and portability are different.

SP: Have you seen athletes come around to your way of thinking about food, or do you still fight the energy-bar mentality?

BT: I think people want to believe they can eat real food and perform at a high level – they sense it’s the right thing.

What we did was make normal, everyday food, and then gave it to top athletes and saw they were doing incredibly.

We never hear from people, “I’d rather have a Clif Bar” or “I’d rather have a gel.” The trick is to make what you like in real life and take it along with you. That could even be a peanut butter and jelly sandwich – it doesn’t have to even be involved.

SP: Did you two collaborate well from the beginning?

Making recipes as a team must have challenges, especially when you’re concerned with more than taste.

BT: We both have those similar flavor palates – salty, savory, a bit of sour – and those are naturally the flavors you crave when exercising. Allen and I have worked together and ate together enough that we have a good idea of what works for athletes. I take over all the recipe writing, and he can describe the reasoning behind why we choose the ingredients we choose, or why a certain recipe is good for a certain activity.

SP: Which recipe gave you the biggest trouble? And that can mean anything – finding the right flavors, making it portable, working out the nutritional benefits…

BT: I can’t really say anything didn’t work. I have 20 years in the restaurant business, so I like to think I’ve done a good job of working around things. My biggest concern was to make every recipe simple and approachable, using ingredients you can find easily. Is it going to be the most amazing food you’ve ever had? Maybe not, but you made it, so you know what’s in it.

The other concerns were freshness, because we know people will take these out with them. We also wanted the meals to be easy to digest and eat, without having to drink a gallon or water. You won’t find an oat bar or anything – everyone has that, and they’re good because they’re simple. It was SP: You and co-author Allen Lim come from cycling about turning common, everyday food into exercise food. backgrounds, but the Feed Zone recipes are tailored for any athlete on the move. As a chef, what interests you about SP: Any plans for future installments? cooking for performance and pleasure?

BT: I can’t tell you that yet – it’s for the future. Everything BT: We both grew up riding bikes, so coming from Asian is out on the planning board, but nothing set in stone. We’d families – he’s Chinese, I’m Indian – we had lots of spicy, like to have a new book out every year-and-a-half or so into heavy foods, the sort of stuff you don’t want to eat and then the foreseeable future. As long as we can keep coming up exercise.

He philip@sneakpeakvail.com SP: Talk about the recipes in “Portables.” Which one was your favorite to develop?

BT: There are a few significant ideas that were sort of “aha” moments for that book. One many people will enjoy is a very simple gluten-free batter. I don’t want to give away everything, but when people try to go gluten-free, it can be expensive to the point it’s not worthwhile. Athletes can’t spend hundreds of dollars a month on ready-made products, but we give them the tools to make these meals at home with basic ingredients. Like, we have a pumpkin-bread recipe that uses one more ingredient than you’d be used to. We also liked the rice cakes – those are a signature dish for us – but the glutenfree recipe was fun.

SneakSPORTS: (Too) great expectations When it comes sports, we expect too much from teams and players Editor’s Note: Minturnbased sports fan Patrick Whitehurst writes for www. fanrag.com. Read his musings on the site or in SneakPEAK. Expectations are exceedingly high in the sports world today.

In every professional league and most major colPatrick Whitehurst lege programs, winning and simply being competitive aren’t good enough. Team owners, powerful boosters and rabid fan bases expect immediate results and regular appearances in conference championships.

Can’t win the big game? Teams will get someone in there that will. Win a national title? Go do it again.

For coaches, falling short of attainable goals places you immediately on the hot seat, no matter what previous accomplishments you have or the length of your existing contract.

Just ask George Karl. The Nuggets fired their head coach of nine seasons a few weeks after Karl’s third-seeded club bowed out in the first round of the playoffs for the eighth time in nine years. In May, Karl was named the 2012-2013 NBA Coach of the Year, and now in early June he’s looking for a new job.

I am a proponent of change -- especially when a team or organization has reached their optimum level, and it’s still not championship caliber. But change doesn’t always translate into better results; in Denver’s case, without Karl, this team may have been vying for a lottery pick.

There are plenty of qualified head coaches available for the Nuggets to hire, but I doubt any of them will have the success or command the respect that Karl did.

Sports fans and viewers have come to expect great things from the athletes, coaches, and the events we’re watching.

The Super Bowl better be the most entertaining game of the season, or else we’ll complain and blow up on social media.

We will pick apart even the slightest nuances as if we were an overly critical judge on the Food Network annoyed with

the contestant’s use of truffle oil.

Trailing with less than two minutes remaining in the game, we expect Tom Brady and Peyton Manning to lead their teams to victory. When they drive down the field and fire the winning touchdown pass in the closing seconds, our expectations become elevated the next time a similar situation presents itself. Fans begin to think such clutch performances are second nature.

If the Broncos trail by 21 points in the second quarter, despair doesn’t set in, because #18 has over half the game left to bring the Orange and Blue back. Tom Brady has spoiled Patriots fans as well -- posting ridiculous efficiency numbers every season, winning MVPs and Super Bowls and marrying a supermodel isn’t as easy as he makes it seem.

Michael Jordan set the bar for postseason clutch performances and championship winning shots so high that no player can achieve them, but that doesn’t stop sports media and fans from expecting the spectacular. LeBron James is the best basketball player on the planet, yet if he doesn’t average a triple-double in the postseason, analysts and fans wonder if something is wrong.

It’s not as easy as the world’s top athletes make it routinely look. And that’s a prominent reason that I love watching the U.S. Open. Dubbed “the toughest test in golf,” the U.S. Open often makes the best golfers in the world appear to be on par with the local guys out hacking away and missing short putts.

Tiger Woods knows a thing or two about high expectations and falling short. Despite not winning a major since the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines (which he did on one leg), Woods

is always in the discussion as the favorite to win a tournament. Will Tiger win this weekend? I am expecting him to, but not if his short game fails and he misses fairways.

Having high expectations placed on your team or star player beats the alternative, though.

After not winning a World Series title since 1908, expectations for the Cubs (outside of Chicago and then after July 1) are very low. Tickets for spring training games are hard to come by, and during the regular season, Wrigley Field is always among the league leaders in attendance. Cubs games are events, reasons to throw back a few Old Styles and an opportunity to watch baseball -- even if they lose more often than they win. And they lose a lot.

From the Browns and Indians to the once-formidable Cavaliers, any Cleveland fan will tell you if there’s ever a way to blow a series or screw up a sure victory, their team will do it. The glass is never half full. By nature and practice, Clevelanders make terrible optimists.

We expect Tony Romo to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Without looking, we know Jay Cutler is sulking after an interception. The Knicks won’t win an NBA Championship, and a Canadian team may never hoist the Stanley Cup again.

But we’ll keep watching and expecting greatness. Stranger things have happened. Right Red Sox fans?

OLYMPIC RECOVERY –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

[From page 7]

are having trouble in your calf, for example, it is for a reason. The muscle can be locked up, or the muscles above and below the calf can be tight, putting unnecessary strain on the calf. A massage can target those areas, unlock the tight muscles and help you perform better during your next workout.

As a final word of advice, Roeder says the worst thing an athlete can do is ignore the importance of recovery. It is easy to get done with a workout and go on with the next part of your day. Doing nothing won’t affect your workout that day, but it will have an effect on your workouts going forward.

The people who workout in the morning, head off to work, don’t eat until lunch and fall sleep at midnight aren’t helping their bodies improve or recover.

The “Do Nots” You have to treat recovery with importance. The worst thing you can do after training is ignore the damage that was just done to your body. The next day you go out to train, the aches and pains will be worse, not better – you’ll be more sore, tired and prone to injury.

Focusing on recovery doesn’t have to be too hard. There is nothing bad about a massage, a good meal, some good sleep and definitely nothing bad about a glass of chocolate milk. It just takes a little planning.

Some people say ice has a placebo effect because it only brings down inflammation, but doesn’t do much to repair the body. What can help is contrast between heat and ice.

Apply 10 minutes of heat followed by 10 minutes of ice, and repeating the process two or three times.

KWJ: No. I’m a bad faker and a bad liar, so if people tried to get me to go in a direction I didn’t want to, I wouldn’t be able to do it. That’s not who I am.

SP: Along with May, you’re one of the few people in beach volleyball who is instantly recognizable. Do you enjoy being the “face” of your sport?

KWJ: Sometimes you have a bad day and you aren’t the most welcoming person, then you hear about it later and wish it could’ve gone better. But it has been a pleasure to be an ambassador, and I hope that role continues for the rest of my life. I love the sport and the athletes involved and all the people who surround it.

The Eagle is about to hit peak run-off the next few days. Clarity has been good overall and fish can be nymphed up out of the softer water against the banks. Be careful wading out there! Recommended flies: PRL’s in numerous colors, San Juan Worms and Cranefly Larva.

Salmonflies are pretty much done.

Big dries continue to produce fish for the next few weeks, but nymphing is more productive. Radium Creek has been taking clarity down to a foot below Radium.

Recommended Flies: Kyles Yellow Sally, Flash Bang Midges, Copper Bob’s and Gallup’s Dungeon.

The Gore has come up a lot in the past week. Just like the Eagle, look for the Gore to peak in the next few days. The Gore is also fishing just like the Eagle, for those familiar with high water tactics fish can be caught. Recommended Flies: San Juan Worms, Craneflys and Nymphicator Nymphs.

The Fork is still running high and off color. Wading the Headwaters or fishing the Pan is the best bet right now. The Fork should peak this week as well. Recommended Flies: PRL’s, San Juan Worms, Guides Choice Hares Ears and Olive and Black Slumpbusters.
