Vail’s American Ski Classic brings celebrities and legends, as well as ski-town prestige and history By Melanie Wong
I
t’s not very often that you get to see television celebrities and professional football players bash gates head to head against former Olympic ski racers – and sometimes nearly win.
It’s all fun, but also very fierce competition at the 30th annual Korbel American Ski Classic, a slew of races held at Golden Peak on Vail Mountain that will bring celebrities, sponsors and other amateurs on the same course as some retired “legends” of skiing this weekend. The “legends” have a chance to revisit the race course against each other in the Volvo Legends giant slalom on Thursday, March 22. On Friday, March 23 and Saturday, March 24, the famed Korbel Ford Cup Race has pros and amateurs competing together. This year’s celebrity racers include country music star Steve Azar, “Law and Order” actor Anthony Anderson and several NFL football players. They’ll be pitted against or teamed up with the likes of Vail’s Sarah Schleper (recently retired from the U.S. Ski Team) and Luxembourg’s Marc
Girardelli, who ranks fourth in career World Cup victories. Skiers go head-to-head, and handicaps for the racers, according to ability, ensure a very close race. In past years, the likes of Tom Brokaw, Clint Eastwood and former president Gerald Ford were pitted against top alpinists who had once ruled the world ski circuits. “Better racers give seconds to their competitors and sometimes you literally get a head start,” former race organizer John Horan-Cates says. “You’d see someone come down the entire hill in a wedge and then the former pro racer came flying out of the gate. Every race was a split and a hair at the finish line. It’s very exciting.” A brand new addition to this year’s classic is the “Battle of the Legends” on Saturday, a giant slalom team competition featuring the American legends against the international legends. The ski classic has become such an iconic event in the skiing world that even current pros hope to eventually be asked to attend. “I recently had dinner with Aksel Svindal,” says Ceil Folz, president of the Vail Valley Foundation, referring to the Swedish skiing superstar and downhill king. “And within three minutes of meeting, he asked me what he had to do to be invited to the American Ski Classic.”

meet Mia
Stockdale Former mountain bike pro finds passion in teaching, but looks to race again By Kat Jahnigen
Mia Stockdale hangs out in her element just before the first inaugural Krueger Family Shamrock Shuffle 10k race at the Vail Nordic Center on St. Patrick’s Day. Stockdale, besides teaching Nordic skiing and mountain biking and running the Nordic Center, is an accomplished endurance athlete. Billy Doran photo.
E
agle-Vail resident Mia Stockdale has done seemingly everything in the world of sports – but through all her endeavors, racing is her passion.
She taught sailing at the lake where she grew up on in Iowa and worked as a personal fitness trainer. You might find her helping customers at the Vail Nordic Center, or teaching Nordic skiing, but in her 25 years in the Vail Valley, she hasn’t lost her love for competition. Her athletic pursuits began at a young age she began racing sailboats and water skiing competitively. “When I moved back (to Vail), I started racing mountain bikes professionally, pretty much right away,” says Stockdale. “I started at the beginner level, then I upgraded and pretty quickly jumped into the pro ranks, kind of self-sponsored. Did that for a year, then I got my first sponsor.” It’s a passion that, unfortunately, Stockdale has had to put largely on-hold for the past ten years as she struggled with her health. Her racing and training schedule was grueling, combined with work, and it soon all caught up with her.
“When I finished racing, I was teaching spinning at the Vail Athletic Club, then going out and riding hard and running hard, and I kind of buried myself in the ground as far as my health goes, got really run down,” says Stockdale, who was then diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome. “It’s been a ten year process – I’ve pretty much had to quit racing. It’s something I just love, and it’s been really tough to not be able to.” Sharing the passion Thankfully, Stockdale has had other outlets for her athletic passions. She began the Vail Mountain Bike Camps in 1996. The program began as a series of women’s clinics, before Stockdale joined forces with a local schoolteacher and began focusing the clinics on instructing young mountain bikers. ”For me, doing clinics – both the women’s and the kids’ camps – was really a perfect fit. I’ve taught something, of one sport another, since I was 16 years old,” she says. Another endeavor Stockdale undertook was running the retail, rental and instruction at the Vail Nordic Center with longtime boyfriend Shane Sluder. The Nordic Center has seen success in those years, under the couple’s management. As Stockdale says, her management style is “kind of strict,” while Sluder is “the softie.”

“I’ve always Nordic skied since I’ve been out here,” says Stockdale, who learned to Nordic ski when she started doing winter triathlons 25 years ago. “It’s only a five-month lease (at the Nordic Center), and it’s pretty all-consuming in the winter. I love it, and we’ve really built up the Nordic community and put our hearts and souls into it.” Molly McGee, manager of Vail Nordic Center, has worked with Stockdale for five years during the winters - plus three summers working at the mountain bike camps. Surprisingly, McGee is not a competitive mountain biker. “She knew that I loved instructing and working with kids,” says McGee, “So she worked with me on my personal mountain biking skills. It’s one of her best skills – she likes to sit you down and tries to figure out what you love to do and why, and then figure out how to incorporate those skills into your work.” Vail Mountain Bike Camps has also sponsored a team of young racers during the summer for the past four years, offering the kids’ camps and, one step up, a race academy program. “It’s hard to keep up with some of them!” says Stockdale who often does the Vail Recreation District’s Mountain Bike Race Series alongside her students. “It’s just nice to give

chic “Anything Goes” at Vail Valley Medical Center’s annual fashion show By Kat Jahnigen
O
n Friday, March 30, Vail will see high fashion modeled by some of its very own residents as part of a fundraiser that is celebrating 25 years of strutting its stuff. Vail Marriot Mountain Resort will host the Vail Valley Medical Center (VVMC) Volunteer Corps Fashion Show and Luncheon, a quirky event that’s become a Vail Valley tradition. The theme for this year’s show is “Anything Goes,” and according to event organizers, the show will boast something for everyone -- even men. The international runway collections, provided by the Vail-based store, The Charm School Boutique, will feature styles for both ladies and gentlemen. The event is organized each year by the VVMC Volunteer Corps, a group that offers care and services for those who visit the hospital’s facilities. “This year, being the 25th anniversary, they went for a really fun theme, ‘Anything Goes,’ like the musical,” says Didi Doolittle, a volunteer with the VVMC Volunteer Corps, who does public relations and historian work for the organization. She says she will also be a “pin-up sailor girl” at the event. A team of stylists from Merle Norman Cosmetics will do makeup, and Rhythm Saloon who will be doing hair. More than 50 volunteers will come together to put on the event. The models from the community and from the Vail Valley Theatre Company will be parading the clothes on the runway. Sandy Jacaruso, a volunteer and co-chair of the event, has been involved with the VVMC’s fashion show in some form or another for 19 years. While she says the day will have quite a few surprises, she does hint that the show will be a “fashion cruise” of European styles, with “ports of call” that the audience will travel through, showcasing everything from clothing for leisure activities to “evening with the captain” formal wear. “I was so impressed by the event,” Doolittle says of the first show she saw upon moving to the area two years ago, “that the day or two afterwards I actually signed up for the Volunteer Corps. Everyone had such great enthusiasm and dedication to raising money for the Vail Valley Medical Center, I basically just knew I had to be a part of this group.” In evidence of Doolittle’s statement is the fact that, according to Jacaruso, the Volunteer Corps has donated•over a millionVillage and a Blvd. half dollars to inthePalic hospital fundraising ef766.7100 56 Edwards Unit 114 Millerthrough Chiropractic Located in Edwards, just minutes from Vail and Beaver Creek•edwardsmassage.com

forts already this year “The show has been getting bigger and better each year, and I’m excited about the production style and the new elements we’re introducing,” says Jacaruso. The silent auction will take place from 10:30 a.m. to noon, and the fashion show will begin at noon. Silent auction items include gift certificates to local restaurants, Zumba classes for up to 20 people, skin care products and wine plus golf, and hotel and spa packages at local resorts. “It’s going to be an incredible show” says Doolittle. “The volunteers have been working for months gathering things for the silent auction. And the fashion show started as this small little event, and it’s turned into this amazing, full-scale runway show.” As the weather warms up, some have made an annual tradition of attending to check out the new styles. “It’s a rite of spring for Vail. People bring out their spring clothes, hats,” says Jacaruso. “We encourage spring fashion. It’s a celebration.” The show will benefit the Mobile Simulation Lab, a traveling model medical facility that allows doctors and students to hone their skills in a realistic training environment. It will provide essential hands-on experience training for VVMC students and medical staff and travel all over the county to provide training at different facilities. Tickets are $100 per seat or table sponsorships also available. Tickets should be purchased before March 29 at www. vvmcfashionshow.com or by calling 970-479-5131.

Eagle Valley’s speech and debate team aims for nationals By Melanie Wong
O
n any given weekend, a handful of Eagle Valley High School students trade their baseball caps and jeans for business attire and travel the state to compete in a match of words. Eagle Valley High School’s speech and debate team is in the midst of their most successful year to date, and have their sights set on qualifying for the national competition in June. Up until this month, the team competed in “festival” competitions – events held regionally against smaller schools – and March marks the beginning of the National Forensics League season. The students compete on a statewide level against much larger schools and can earn the opportunity to go to nationals. The qualifying tournament, held March 30 in Greeley, will determine if EVHS’s team will continue on. The top two competitors in each event go on to nationals, and the team will be going against much larger schools from the Front Range. Tournaments are intense affairs. Gymnasiums buzz with kids in business attire, busily reading over their arguments one last time or performing a speech to a wall. The team already has eight meets under its belt and the season has brought success, with several competitors taking podium spots at the state festival event. The size and enthusiasm for the team is unprecedented since teachers Mary Ann Stavney and Abby Rittmiller formed the club a few years ago as coaches. “This is overwhelmingly our best year,” Rittmiller says. “Greatness feeds greatness. We have some seasoned veterans, and they’re really passing their knowledge onto the newer members.” In fact, some members, such as Senior Jason Cirkovic, who competes in original oratory, remembers his first event as a freshman when he and three others represented EVHS. Today the team boasts more than 30 members.
From politics to serial killers Like ski racing, speech and debate is a broad tag that includes a variety of disciplines, and there are specialists in each event. Senior Byron Crawford competes in “values debate and public forum,” where students have 30 minutes to argue the case for a predetermined resolve, or prompt, on issues such as foreign policy and public affairs. Besides making him more equipped to discuss world politics than most adults and teaching him valuable public speaking skills, Crawford says that having to argue both sides of an issue, sometimes in the same day, has given him a different worldview. “I chose to do debate because I used to have an opinion on everything,” he says. “Now I don’t have an opinion on anything.” While Crawford’s discipline is all academic research and formal speaking, there’s a more theatrical side to speech and debate. Senior Lane Sheldon specializes in “drama interpretation,” where students deliver a five-to-10 minute dramatic monologue. Her chosen piece, “The Last Flapper,” is told from the point of view of Zelda Fitzgerald, the wife of author Scott Fitzgerald. “The content and idea behind it has to do with her deterioration, both physically and mentally, which I found interesting,” says Sheldon, who has spent weeks researching for the role. “I still have the compiled works of Zelda Fitzgerald on my nightstand.” Junior Steven Siefers is performing “So I Killed a Few People,” a humorous account from a convicted serial killer expressing his last wishes. There’s a thrill to thinking on your feet in front of an audience, whether that is in front of a full auditorium or a few judges, he says. “I’ve forgotten lines in the middle of a piece and had to talk my way around it,” Siefers says. “The slightest thing

Beyond the tournament Team members come from a variety of different backgrounds – the “theater kids,” the “athletes” and the “nerds” all find a common ground at the club – and they all share the love of matching wits and skills against other students. While Siefers and Sheldon both grew up doing theater, both say they like the competition aspect of speech and debate. “When you get to the national qualifier level, it’s really subjective who the judges pick to win – everyone’s really good,” Siefers says. Others, such as Cirkovic, didn’t come from a performance background. He caught the debate bug when he was looking for something to do outside of baseball season. The students note that speech and debate, besides looking great on college applications, makes them “feel smarter,” “pick up on bad speaking habits,” and “develop new friendships.” And they are indeed some of the most enthusiastic and well-spoken high school students you’ll meet. “It’s very fun and has developed me into who I am,” Siefers says. “It promotes wit and off-the-top-of-your-head thinking.” As a teacher, Stavney says she’s impressed by the sheer amount of applicable learning that goes into preparing a resolve or performance. “Now they have a reason to have that info they’re learning from physics and history class,” Stavney says. “It’s exciting to see that culture of intellectual thinking here at Eagle Valley.”

d d dford dd World’s most-wanted art dLOOKING NONI? Masterpiece hunters share their search for lost WWII art By Kat Jahnigen International lawyer and part-time Vail resident, Michael Lacher, is not simply concerned about recovering lost property. As he sees it, he is helping bring some modicum of justice to victims of the Holocaust. “When someone surrenders a picture at the point of a gun, it’s not called ‘a sale,’” he says. Lacher has spent more than 20 years as an international lawyer working to track down artwork that was stolen or lost – primarily during World War II – and returning it to its rightful owners. “It’s not certain how many masterpieces were stolen during World War II,” he says, “but it’s not less than 600,000, and only about 100,000 have been found.” Lacher will be in Edwards Saturday to give a presentation, along with Monica Dugot, one of the world’s foremost specialists in the recovery of lost and stolen art, presented by the Vail Symposium.

Prepping for warm-weather sports From winter to summer, balance and symmetry prevent injuries Editor’s note: SneakPEAK columnist Jake Wells is a certified personal trainer at Dogma Athletica and a professional cyclist. He writes about health and fitness. He can be reached at jake@dogmaathletica.com. A well-quoted cliché about living in the Vail Valley is, “I came for the winters and stayed for the summers.” Jake Wells It’s true -- one of the best parts about living in the Rocky Mountains is that there are distinct seasons. The changes in the weather that go along with the season encourage us to change up our activities accordingly. As the end of the ski season nears and down-valley temps creep up into the 60’s, many skiers are trading in their powder boards for skinny tires or running shoes. Moving in one direction Many of the activities that we enjoy are unidirectional, meaning that they involve predominantly one type of movement, and concentrate on one main muscle group. For example, skiing is a quad-dominant activity and requires a lot of quadricep, or thigh strength, in order to do this activity frequently and efficiently. One of the most common activi-
ties here in Colorado, next to skiing, is cycling. Cycling too is a quad dominant sport, and for many skiers, there is very little transition time from on the slopes to on the bike. In a sense, skiing can help prepare you for your summer on the bike and vise versa. However, is this a case of too much of a good thing?

AMERICAN SKI CLASSIC –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Opening the gates for Vail But beyond the fun and glitz of the event, the American Ski Classic has played a very prominent part in the Vail Valley’s success as a ski community, opening the gates for some of the area’s biggest and most prestigious events. The race had its roots as the Gerald Ford Celebrity Cup, a team race spearheaded by the president – a skiing fanatic and part-time Vail resident at the time – as a winter counterpart to his popular celebrity golf tournament in the summer. The original format, which is still used in the race today, placed a retired professional skier with a team of four amateur celebrities, who ranged from experienced skiers to near beginners. The event was used as the marquee event of the season for the opening of Beaver Creek in 1980. The race, which raised money for Vail’s hospital, was featured on the “Today Show” and “Good Morning, America.” Ford himself raced in the Cup, of course. “It was a tremendous success,” says Horan-Cates, founder and then-president of the Vail Valley Foundation. “It spawned the ‘Legends of Skiing.’ It was very cool to watch these famous racers come back to race.” At the time, the Vail community began to look into hosting races as a way to market and promote the town. Cates was commissioned to bring a World Cup race – one of the most elite racing circuits – to Vail. The town succeeded in bringing a World Cup women’s giant slalom race, which was combined with the Gerald Ford Celebrity Cup, and the combined events became the American Ski Classic.

The race, which was held on Vail Mountain, drew considerable media attention, and the women’s races were broadcast on international television. “It was a real home run,” Horan-Cates says. “First off, it was a real community effort, and it was just a lot of fun (to organize). Everyone wanted to come around President Ford.” Just when Vail organizers were still beaming from the success of the new races, even more opportunities came knocking as a result. News came that Aspen had withdrawn their bid to host the 1987 Alpine Ski World Championships, and Vail eventually became the host of what would be the biggest and most prestigious ski racing event that had ever come to the valley. Today, the valley still hosts an annual World Cup race with the Birds of Prey races at Beaver Creek in December, which draws the top men downhill specialists from around the world, and Vail is set to split hosting duties with Beaver Creek for the world championships in 2015. “It all started with the Gerald Ford Celebrity Cup,” HoranCates says. The classic today Other celebrity skiers attending this year include former NFL quarterback Mark Rypien and running back Joe Washington, along with former MLB pitcher Bret Saberhagen. Olympic gymnasts Trent Dimas and Mitch Gaylord, track and field standout Carol Lewis-Zilli, swimmer Steve Lun-

dquist and figure skater Paul Wylie will also mix it up on the slopes. Entertainment celebrities include actors Alfonso Ribeiro, famous for his role as Carlton on “Fresh Prince of Bel Air,” and Greg Ellis of “24.” The skiing legends – former Olympic, World Championship and World Cup medalists spanning the past three decades – will serve as Korbel Ford Cup team captains. A total of eight teams advance to the finals based on their cumulative win-loss record during two days of racing. For retired U.S. Ski Team member Cindy Nelson, the event is more than a fun race -- she took second in the giant slalom women’s World Cup at the race in 1983. “Changes in the American Ski Classic have mostly been seem in advancements of technology. But the core theme remains the same -- we are all here to celebrate what we love about skiing,” she says. While Vail is now home to much more heavy-hitting races than the classic, Folz says that the event continues to build Vail’s reputation as a great ski racing town. “It has a worldwide appeal for the ski racers, and while there are many ‘legends’ events, this is the granddaddy of that format,” Folz says. “Yes, it’s about ski racing, but really it’s about celebrating a sport that we love. We hope it continues to be the place where the great racers, the industrysuppliers and people of the community who love the sport continue to come together to celebrate what they’ve done.” SneakPEAK editor Melanie Wong can be reached at Melanie@sneakpeakvail.com

Synchronized skiing for a cause Beav’ instructors raise money for youth
Members of EPIC Chix, a synchronized skiing team made up of Beaver Creek women ski instructors, are holding a fundraiser at The Metropolitan benefiting SOS Outreach and First Descents. The team plans to compete in competitions in Aspen and Switzerland in April. Photo special to SneakPEAK.
By Melanie Wong A group of 10 women ski instructors from Beaver Creek have formed the mountain’s synchronized skiing demonstration team, and next Tuesday, they’ll be carving down the slopes for youth. The group, dubbed the EPIC Chix, has worked over the winter to carve in formation, synchronize their movements and ski as a team. The team will be put to the test against other instructor teams from other mountains at competitions in April. The Chix are gunning to do well at the Aspen World Synchro Championships from April 11 to 13 and the Swiss Snow Happening in Engleberg, Switzerland, from April 18 to 23. Beaver Creek has long had a men’s synchro team, and in years past had a formidable women’s team as well. After a hiatus, the women’s team was resurrected and had a successful season last winter, taking fourth at the Aspen competition. The team will hold a fundraiser benefitting SOS Outreach and First Descents on Tuesday, March 27, from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. at The Metropolitan at Beaver Creek. SOS Outreach is an Avon-based nonprofit that works with underserved youth
through adventure sports. First Descents is a program for young people who have battled or survived cancer, empowering them through outdoor activities. The event will include a silent auction, with items that include a Western Spirit mountain bike trip for two on the White Rim Trail in Moab, golf packages, massages and a Colorado Avalanche autographed item. “EPIC Chix mission is to encourage a ‘can do’ attitude to life through their passions and pursuits in skiing, biking and other outdoor activities,” Linda Guerrette says. “(Our) goal is to inspire others with support and teamwork, and to pursue an empowered lifestyle of adventure through their passions.” Never heard of synchronized skiing? The sport has its roots almost as early as modern alpine skiing. It started in Europe when ski schools would use synchronized drills to train ski instructors and entice the public to take a lesson with one of the best instructors on the mountain. Today there are “powder 8 “ championships held by the biggest snow sports schools, attended by some of the best teams from Austria, Switzerland and the United States.

The term “life-long learner� shouldn’t only apply to textbooks and stuffy classrooms. The valley is chock-full of interesting courses during the springtime, ranging from belly dancing for first-timers to hula hooping for fitness. Most of these activities are free or relatively affordable – a far cry from paying exorbitant tuition – and open to people of any age. SneakPEAK dug around to find the most intriguing courses in the area, all of which can be continued long after you leave the instructor. Go forth and learn. Hoop Fit at the Avon Recreation Center Time: Tuesdays at 5:30 p.m. Call 970-748-4060 Cost: $3 plus daily admission for drop in; $10 monthly, unlimited class passes with membership Fitness instructor Jenna Stecker is a hula-hoop junkie. She’s the owner of BLAH and recently started teaching the Hoop Fit class at the Avon Recreation Center, which combines aerobics, core exercises and body lifts like squats with an unlikely toy, the hula hoop. “Hula hooping itself is not new, of course,� says Stecker, a former personal trainer who refers to the activity as simply “hooping.� “It’s kind of an underground activity on one hand, and fitness nuts have taken it up as a way to waste an hour or more for fun.� Stecker’s classes at the rec center are similar to other group fitness sessions: surprisingly difficult movements set to uptempo hip-hop, so participants build stamina and strength. A favorite exercise are speed drills, with 30 seconds of hard hooping punctuated by 30 seconds of slow hooping – kind of like interval training on a track. First-time hoopers often leave the course feeling a burn, Stecker says, because her classes treat the hoop as much more than a kid’s toy. “Hoop isolation� moves the hoop off the waist and onto arms, legs, hands and more. “(For) people who don’t hoop, or those who haven’t done it in a long time, their body can be out of whack,� Stecker says. “It really can be difficult. It’s definitely a full-body workout.� Stecker also offers outdoor classes (including “hoop tech� to learn new moves) during summer through her Web site, www.highcountryhoops.com.

Restaurants serving up success New eateries finding a base in Gypsum By Kat Jahnigen It may be surprising to some, but the town of Gypsum is becoming a dining destination, thanks to several new restaurants that have opened in the last couple years. For some proprietors, these culinary ventures represent a significant change in career direction, and for some a realization of passions that started from family roots. Bringing the “aloha” spirit Danny Woolsey – who owns the Ekahi Grill along with his wife Cheryl and daughter Dionne Puha – may have come from a long family tradition of cooking, but until Father’s Day of 2011, he worked in construction. He says that when the construction business “died,” he and his wife decided to try their hand as restaurant entrepreneurs. Woolsey moved to the area from Hawaii, where he was raised, 12 years ago and until opening Ekahi, he had been cooking in a more recreational way. “I was cooking in the valley for fundraisers – like lacrosse teams and football teams, and people liked my food and asked me to do more, so I started doing weddings,” says Woolsey. “Ekahi” means “number one,” and it comes from Woolsey’s full Hawaiian name – Ekahi Nalu Nui – which means “First Big Wave.” The restaurant, at 116 Park Street in Gypsum, specializes in Hawaiian food, but to pigeon-hole it into one ethnicity would be difficult, given the luau of culinary influences in Woolsey’s cooking. “I learned to cook from my family growing up,” he explains. “My grandfather was half Chinese and his grandfather came to the islands from Hong Kong and had Chinese restaurants. My grandfather started mixing the cultural foods, and he didn’t just season things up, he experimented with how he cooked – the different temperatures to make different flavors.” Later on, Woolsey became friends with an eclectic assortment of folks of other nationalities like Korean or Japanese, and they enjoyed getting together to cook, blending elements of their various cultures in the food they created.

Starting a restaurant hasn’t been easy. Woolsey and his wife weren’t able to get a loan so they, “took a chance with what we had in our pocket and just depend on customers to get by.” “If it wasn’t for people in Gypsum trying and liking it, we would fail because I didn’t have anything to fall back on. But we’ve got people coming in twice a week,” he says. While diners certainly come to Ekahi for the huge portions and tasty, home-cooked food, there’s something else that keeps them coming back, according to Woolsey, who attributes the restaurant’s success to “aloha.” “It’s the ‘aloha’ spirit,” he says. “That’s treating people the way I want to be treated. We’ll keep that going.” Built for customers -- literally Joe Frasco, who opened The Dog House in October 2011, also came from a professional background in construction – something he still does, in addition to running the restaurant. Frasco has been working on a construction project with different motivation: expanding his new restaurant. The expansion includes an outdoor patio and a bar, which he’s aiming to open for diners at the end of the month. Frasco had planned from the get-go to do renovations this spring because when The Dog House opened “we ran out of summer,” he says. What he didn’t plan on was the direction the renovations would take. “We took a lot of input from our customers those months we were open,” says Frasco. “We listened to what they wanted, we made adjustments to our business plan. The bar wasn’t intended to go in – originally we were going to be no alcohol – but a lot of customers were saying they wanted a beer and a burger, so we hope they’ll enjoy this.” This is, in fact, a key part of the restaurant’s success, according to Frasco: incorporating customer feedback. “Whatever their wishes are we tried to make happen,” he says. “That statement could apply to every aspect of every business: your customer will let you know. What you’re doing wrong and what you’re doing right, and if you care about your business you’ll incorporate it.” The Dog House, at 10663 U.S. Highway 6, offers grill

food: sliders, soups, hot dogs, shrimp baskets, ice cream and, of course, burgers. Made in-house with certified Angus beef and unique embellishments, they aren’t your ordinary hamburgers. Even the Dog House version of the traditional grilled chicken sandwich, for example, is topped with Gouda cheese. As for the future of The Dog House? Well, that’s anyone’s guess. “I’ve learned from this business that you’re really not driving the car. Your customers are driving the car – you’re along for the ride,” says Frasco. “Where I see it going isn’t necessarily where it ends up. You just make tentative plans and be flexible enough to make adjustments along the way.” Family secrets, Italian style While Jay Manto comes from a family of Italian restaurant owners and worked in the family business when he was younger, he spent the last 15 years working as an electrician – until September of 2010, when he and his wife, Donna, opened Manto’s Pizza at 106 Oakridge Court. At that point he became privy to all the old family recipes and restaurant secrets that have led to the restaurant being so well-received. “We offer true East Coast Pizza and authentic Philly Cheese Steaks. All our food is made with fresh homemade ingredients daily – pizza dough and sauce, marinara sauce, desserts. Our customers rave about our wings,” says Jay Manto. “We have customers who travel from as far away as Vail and Parachute for the pizza and cheese steaks.” Manto’s has also done well by offering special promotions, such as a Tuesday through Friday $5 lunch menu, and a “Kids-Eat-Free Night” on Thursdays and Saturdays. Manto says the restaurant has been seeing an increase in sales, as well as building a clientele of regulars. The Mantos plan on having an official grand opening on March 31, following a week in which the restaurant will be closed for remodeling and improvements. “We wanted to do this from the start, but weren’t able to so. We thought in order to let our customers know how much we appreciate them supporting us… let’s have a celebration,” says Manto. “We also invited former employees who were here for most of the first year and have left for college or moved away to help with the event and share in the celebration.” The event will take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., with a free keg, kids’ activities, prize giveaways and a charity donation from the symbolic “ribbon cutting.”

STOLEN ART ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Vail Symposium speaker Monica Dugot works to track down and research stolen art for Christie’s. She presents with lawyer Michael Lacher on Saturday. Photo special to SneakPEAK.
“A good part of my job is to help ensure that Christie’s never knowingly sells looted or stolen artwork,” says Dugot. “When my teams come across a problem, we try and find fair and just solutions between the claimant and the consignor.” Dugot’s presentation will also discuss the widespread looting of cultural and personal property in Europe during the Nazi era – but also “the legacy it has left us for today’s art market.” “I will share insights that my current restitution work and experience provides in dealing with the issue of looted art and also what the events of 70 years ago mean for folks today who may be buying art objects or who may someday be interested in buying art,” says Dugot. What if you’re simply an average person, an art lover
who will never have the means to become an art collector? The issue still affects you, according to Dugot and Lacher. “This is important work because these pieces should be returned to their rightful owners, who can decide where and when they should be seen,” says Lacher. The event begins with a 5:30 p.m. reception at Edwards Interfaith Chapel and will be followed by the 6 p.m. presentation. Tickets cost $35 per person or $25 for Vail Symposium members. More information can be found at www. vailsymposium.org.

BACK TO SCHOOL –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
“I’m an artist and took to makeup really well,” Schober says. “I was taught to look at the face as a canvas. It will be a very fun, interesting class.” The four-hour course covers basic stage makeup – “how to look pretty,” Schober says – along with advanced techniques, such as aging and sex reversal. It’s rooted in stage, not film, with an emphasis on eye-popping image over delicate texture. “It’s all very dramatic because of the stage focus,” Schober says. “You want things to really pop.” The course fee includes a professional-quality stage makeup kit, although it’s $20 cheaper if you already own one. Schober recommends shying away from street makeup, as it doesn’t have the right range for more dramatic techniques. Schober and VVTC hope to offer other one-day seminars in the future, including a special effects course for scars and prosthetics. “It’s a lot of us theater people are trying to take our talents to the community,” Schober says. “It’s a way of getting people excited about what we have going on with the theater.”
Back to the start line? In the off-season, Stockdale and Sluder do a significant amount of traveling, often heading to Mexico for a month to surf. “I’ve lived in the mountains for 25 years, and I love it, but I could see moving to the ocean somewhere down the road, just for a change,” muses Stockdale. “I’ve talked for a lot of years about doing surf camps, that’s something we’ve thought about. But that’s my vacation spot – I don’t know if I want to work when I go down there!” And as for racing, Stockdale is excited that she’s been feeling good enough in the last couple years to begin testing out the competitive waters again. She’s tentatively begun doing some mountain bike, Nordic and snowshoe racing over the last year.

It’s just neat to turn them on at a young age.” Stephanie Dow, a winter resident in Vail, who has taken private Nordic lessons and clinics from Stockdale for the past three years, calls her an “awesome” instructor. “When she teaches you, she explains things in different ways so you understand, so that it connects with you,” says Dow. “She teaches all different levels – she’s not intimidating. She’s got great enthusiasm for the sport, she motivates you. She’s really positive.”

“Being an athlete in the valley, and everyone else is competing and you don’t, it’s been one of the hardest challenges of my life. It’s been fun jumping back into racing, but I’m still not there,” she says. Having done well in both business endeavors – the Mountain Bike Camps and the Nordic Center – Stockdale attributes her success to doing something she’s passionate about. “I can’t imagine not being in a job that I’m passionate about. I feel really lucky to be able to work in two fields I feel so passionate about, because then it seems like it’s not work at all.”

Why should you buy Custom Metal Work? Reason #2 to Go Custom:
You’re not an “average consumer”, you’re an individual one. When an item is manufactured for the masses, the company’s marketing department decides which features to include according to their profile of a “typical consumer.” Alternatively, custom made items are made specifically for you.

Young writers’ corner A short story from a Berry Creek Middle School student My life is seriously messed up “Get off of your stupid butt and get to work! I’m sick and tired of you acting like a sissy, now put a little more effort into your punch! If you’re going to fight them you’re going to need to learn how!” yelled Derek at the top of his lungs. Everyone scrambled to their feet afraid of making him even more mad and started working on their punching techniques looking at the ground to avoid his gaze. Obviously he was pissed because normally his veins weren’t popping out of his neck and his face wasn’t as red as a tomato. Lately he had been acting more like this and less like himself and my whole team was starting to get tired of it. Although we all knew that he was our best bet in teaching us the basics to defeat them. Them being blood sucking freaks of course and those blood sucking freaks just had to be trying to kill us. My life is seriously messed up. “Hey, Dylan want to hang out later?” Payton said coming up behind me. Payton and I have been Best Friends for as long as I can remember. She has strawberry blond hair the flows down her spine to her rib cage. Her eyes are a purple color and she is a few inches taller then me. “Sure, but I’ll have to check with my dad because he might question the marks on my face,” I said as we started toward my house. In the background we heard Eli and Will arguing over some stupid topic. “Hey, who do you guys think can do a better Double Kick Flip? Will or I?” asked Eli as he jogged up behind us. Both Payton and I rolled our eyes and kept walking. But as we got further ahead of them we could still hear them bickering behind us. We started to get closer to my house and when we finally got there the first thing my dad noticed was the bruises and scratches on my face. Unlike my brother I got all of my features from my dad. I got my hazel eyes from my father. And normally my fiery red hair was kept up in a tight ponytail, but now it was falling out and snaking down my neck That night when my head hit the pillow I immediately fell asleep and that is when my dream started. I wake up gasping with sweat dripping down my forehead because of my horrifying dream. In my dream, I vividly relived the terrifying sensation of the vampire attack. The vampire jumped out from behind a tree and before we knew it we were giving him our best moves but then realized that they weren’t good enough. Blood was shed that day, not from his teeth but from scratching and surprisingly he couldn’t get his teeth on any of us. After that first encounter with the vampire we immediately were told not to tell anybody and started our training the next day in school. At first Derek seemed cool with everything and was really excited to start physical training but as we got further in with the training he seemed to get more intense, serious, and nervous. I try to calm down a little bit so I can go back to sleep before another hard day of training but suddenly I hear my door crack
open and Eli walks in fully dressed in jeans and a red t-shirt with his favorite sweatshirt over his shoulder. He tells me to get dressed quickly and that we won’t be back tonight. So I put on my favorite jeans and a purple t-shirt and grab my favorite sweatshirt. On the way out the door I grab my worn tennis shoes and put them on as we walk out the door. When we get outside I see that Eli’s truck is running and Will is sitting in the passenger seat. I start freaking out and wondering what we are going to do. When I get in the car and we start driving away Eli starts to explain to me what we are doing. “One night every month Will and I got to the forests behind our house and lay around under the stars and listen to our favorite music for the whole night. And since you were awake we decided to bring you with.” “Can I invite Payton so I’m not the only girl?” I ask because even though I have a slight crush on Will it still is really awkward for me to be alone with them. So I grab my phone and dial Payton’s number. When she picks up I tell her to get dressed and bring a sweatshirt cause we will be outside the whole night. We pick her up then start driving up to the trail that leads to the forests. When we get there Eli goes around to the back and grabs the boom box and all the CDs from his car console. We start slowly up the trail and before we get 20 feet up, I trip and I’m pretty sure I sprain my ankle. After a few attempts of walking I realize that I can’t go any further on foot. My only options are to rough it out and try to walk up or sit in the car with Payton and do nothing for the rest of the night. As I’m thinking though I suddenly feel Will stop in front of me and bend down while gesturing for me to climb on his back. I soon realize that this is the best idea and so I hop on his back and we start moving again, but this time a little quicker. Once we reach the top I am sat down and Will laid down next to me as Eli set up the boom box with his favorite CD. Soon after the music starts I find my sleep-deprived self lying down in between Payton and Will. Soon after I drift into a light sleep I feel Will’s hand slip in my hand and I feel all the blood rush to my face and am thankful that it is dark and nobody can see my face. In my head I am thinking thank goodness this is not a common hangout for vampires. All of a sudden I feel a quick burst of wind in my face and I sit up quickly. I look around and see nothing but my gut is telling me that we are not alone. Remembering that Will’s hand is still in mine I quietly shake him awake and tell him “We aren’t alone, I felt a breeze in front of us Quietly wake up Eli as I wake up Payton.” Once all awake we all ready ourselves to fight. We see a swift figure flash in front of us and then hear... “Yoho, back here,” said a teenage girl’s voice behind us. We all swiftly turn around to see nothing but black. We then hear the voice again but this time from another direction. It came two more times once right in front of us and the other to our right. After that we didn’t hear it for another few minutes and
we start to get nervous. By now we have a hunch of what the creature is that is taunting us. As we are all thinking of what our next move is going to be the creature comes up right behind us without making a sound and all of a sudden we hear breathing. Will throws back his arm with his fist clenched and hit the face but did nothing to the creature. Suddenly I feel a hand in mine as Will grabs my hand and starts to run. I hear Eli and Payton right behind us and once I know that they are safe I put all my attention to running as fast as I can to keep up with Will and to escape the creature. I’m running so fast that I can’t even feel my feet hit the ground. I feel Will panting behind me and realize that I have been pulling him with me. I feel the creatures swift movements behind me and know that if it wants to run faster it will. I hear it chuckle behind me as I fumble over my feet. Once we get out of the woods we all freeze in our paths. We were to late. The creature beat us to the car and was standing on the hood with an evil smile sewn to his face. Just great I say in my head because of course the “creature” has to be a vampire. “Hi there.” There was a cold edge to its voice that made a shiver run up my back to the hairs on the back of my neck standing up. As soon as a vampire was standing right in front of us , it went through my mind. I got ready to take it out in hope that my friends would be right behind me to back me up. Out of the corner of my eye I saw my team get in their positions to fight. “Whoa there, I’m so scared,” teased the vampire with a little snicker. At that moment the vampire jumped from the hood of the car to right in front of us. Before I knew what happened, the vampire had brought her fist up and clocked Eli in the jaw. She was so fast and swift when she moved you couldn’t even hear her. Everyone looked in shock from Eli, holding his jaw to the vampire who had a smug smile on her face. It took us all a minute to get ourselves together before we went into action. We were throwing punches and kicking the vampire until she was laying on the ground unconscious. A small drip of drool was coming out of her mouth as she tried to catch her breath. “Victory is ours,” I quietly say under my breath as not to jinx it. Suddenly I feel something warm against my lips and look up to realize it is Will. instantly get all jumpy inside and start to blush. We excitedly jumped in to the car, jazzed to Derek to tell his that all his hard work had paid off. - Annonomus

Hip Pain
I

f you ever had hip pain you know how agonizing it can be. Several years ago I developed hip pain without sustaining any significant trauma or injury. I received various treatments without seeing any improvement. I was told I had bursitis and having surgery done could correct the problem. In searching for a conservative solution. I met a sports injury specialist who was developing a dynamic new treatment for soft tissue (muscles, tendons, etc) injuries. This tretment is called Active Release Treatment (ART).
He examined my hip and found a muscle that had gotten so tight it created a “false hip arthritis�. After three treatments, my hip pain was gone and I have been running pain free ever since. Generally, we see this very common type of muscle imbalance in runners and skiers. Over the last eight years I have developed expertise in using ART as a treatment. If you are having hip pain, make an appointment to come and see us. By the end of your appointment, you will know what is causing your pain and also see some significant relief. One exam and treatment will tell us whether this progressive treatment of sports injuries will be a solution to your problem.
Dr. Daniel Chesney, DC Dr. Tina Bragg, DC Active Release Technique (ART) Benefit from the same techniques the PGA & NFL use.
