The “Reverend of Soul” Christian Lantry photo
Soul singer Al Green comes to the Beaver Creek stage July 25. SneakPEAK staff report. There is no such thing as too much soul. Following a performance from The Family Stone, the famed San Francisco soul, funk and rock band, Al Green is next to hit the stage in the Vilar Performing Arts Center Summer Concert Series. The soul singer and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer performs on Wednesday, July 25 at 8 p.m. Green will show off his out-of-this-world vocal range and spread the word of, as he likes to say, “L-O-VE” on stage. The R&B icon reached the top of the charts in the ‘70s with his seductive singles. Green will perform favorites like “You Oughta Be With Me,” “I’m Still In Love With You,” “Love and Happiness” and “Let’s Stay Together.” Selling more than 20 million records in his lifetime, Rolling Stone Magazine named him one of the “100 Greatest Artists of All Time.” Al Green has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Gospel Music Hall of Fame, and the Song-
writers Hall of Fame. His latest project, “Lay It Down,” is a collaborative album between the soul legend and a handful of gifted young admirers from the worlds of contemporary R&B and hip-hop. The album is a refreshingly old school jam, with everyone laying down the music together, face to face, heart to heart, soul to soul. “The reason why we are doing this is because we all idolize Al Green,” says album collaborator ?uestlove. “Even today, nobody has range like him.” Tickets for VPAC’s 2012 Summer Concert Series are on sale now and available online at www.vilarpac.org, by phone at 888-920-2787 or in person at the VPAC Box Office in Beaver Creek. The remainder of the summer concert series includes k.d. lang & the Siss Boom Bang on Wednesday, Aug. 1, Diana Krall on Sunday, Aug. 5 and Ozomatli on Friday, Aug. 17.

Commemorating
30 years of Gypsum Daze This year’s down-valley festival promises to be best yet with music, art and sports. By John O’Neill

ypsum Daze celebrates 30 years this weekend, and festival organizers have planned an event that promises to be the biggest and best yet. The two-day celebration features music, athletics,
art and down valley culture with main events kicking off at noon on Friday, July 20 and concluding with a concert from Thompson Square with guest Gloriana on Saturday night. “This is the thread that gets us to come out of our homes and together as neighbors,” says Marie Sanders, special events coordinator for the Town of Gypsum. “We all get to get out, relax and enjoy our community without hurting the pocket.” The down-valley town decided long ago that their residents shouldn’t have to pay to play, celebrating the culture of Gypsum’s tireless work force. The $15 ticket for Thompson Square and Gloriana exemplifies this decision. The after-dark country jam was booked right as the bands were on the cusp of busting onto the country music scene. Currently, if you visit the Thompson Square website, finding a ticket to a show featuring the whole band for less than $80 would be a chore. “Gypsum is known for our hard-working people,” Sanders says. “This is a good working-class community, and the town wanted to give back in a big way.” Gypsum Daze has a history of booking big artists before they blossom as household country names. Rodney Atkins played the Daze while suspended in a limbo between album release and album recognition. Little Big Town also lit up the Lundgren Theatre for Gypsum Daze just as their name was being passed along by DJs in Nashville. “Oh the concert for sure,” says Gypsum resident Ashley Rowheder, 22, when asked her favorite part of Gypsum Daze. “It’s the big event. It’s probably the biggest thing we have all year. They always pull in some of the biggest
names.” Sanders attributes landing the big artists to being truly blessed with good timing. Also, in the name of being blessed, on Thursday at 6:30 p.m. eight local churches will set out to the park in Gypsum for their Praise in the Park, featuring worship bands that they hope will set the tone for the weekend. Other musical acts this weekend will be a free performance by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band on Friday Night; local Johnny Cash tribute artist, Instant Cash, and PBR roper and country singer Paul Bogart. Bogart, who plays a free concert at the Gypsum Town Hall from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday is also a treat to see for free. “If you’re into the rodeo circuit, you know him,” Sanders says. “He’s got lots of buckles to his name. I think his management calls it ‘Country music the cowboy way.’” More than music Gypsum Daze will have heaps of activities throughout the weekend to keep both participants and audience entertained. For kids 12 and under, there will be 18 free activities including face painting, jump castles and balloon twisting. For all ages and new this year, the Flow Photo Booth will be available for families and friends to take home a photo strip of memories. There are going to be more than 55 vendors scattered about the town promoting arts, crafts, culture and food. Keep an eye out for a few special dishes, namely the fried rattlesnake and the almost-certainly-not locally raised alligator tail.

A dusty road While some up-valley residents seem to slip in and out of their second homes at will, the residents of Gypsum seem to stick around. It is a celebrated characteristic of the town, with neighbors bumping into one another at the grocery, on the trails and around Gypsum Daze. Gypsum Daze has been building as an event for years. It all started 30 years ago when locals gathered around a flatbed truck in the still-vacant lot adjacent to the Columbine Market on the main drag in town for low-key live music. Today, the event ropes in big-name country music and raises a lot of money to be used by the town to take care of the residents. For instance, the money from the 5k entry fees goes to the public library, the money from the concert tickets goes toward a local project fund, and the money from the car show goes toward the Gypsum Creek Cruiser Car Show Charitable Fund, which helps pay electric bills in the winter for those in need. The event is characterized as community taking care of community, all in the name of good times with close friends.

Allowing the athletes to indulge in competitive spirit, Gypsum Daze will host a three-on-three basketball tournament at the Gypsum Rec Center and a 5K run, to name a few. The crowd favorite car show returns this year and welcomes all to check out their tricked out whips. But you might not want to enter you Subaru station wagon unless you’ve put in some seriously impressive modifications. “These guys take their cars pretty seriously,” Sanders says. “We will pretty much have history covered with everything from the Model-T to cars straight of the showroom floor.” The list of events goes on; however, the big bucks can only be won one way: through the pure pain and suffering of a jalapeño eating contest. Winner will take home $300 in the men’s, women’s and children division.

The tougher the race, the better
A look inside the twisted minds of ultra-endurance racers By Larry Grossman This past weekend in and around the Vail Valley was a conglomeration of events that would have even the staunchest of endurance athletes drooling into their bowl of Wheaties. Even through intermittent windows of challenging weather, professional and amateur athletes alike lined it up to test their merits in three of Colorado’s most notoriously difficult physical challenges. Saturday saw two events hosted by the town of Avon. The Beaver Creek XTERRA challenged athletes with a one-mile swim in the chilly waters of Nottingham Lake, followed by a 25k mountain bike ride up to Beaver Creek resort with 3,600 feet of climbing, which was then followed up by a 9.3-km trail run. Conrad “The Caveman� Stoltz from South Africa bested local favorite Josiah Middaugh for the victory in 2:07:05 in the men’s pro field, and Canadian Danelle Kabush took the women’s pro title. Later in the day, the Triple Bypass road bike ride from Evergreen to Avon took place. This ride covers 120 miles of grueling terrain over three mountain passes, which totals nearly 10,000 feet of climbing. Adding to the challenge of this years edition were rainy and cold conditions. The Triple Bypass slogan is, “For those who dare,� and it’s easy to see why when you look at the profile of the ride. This ride hosts up to 3,500 riders and raises hundreds of thousands of dollars for many different charities. Perhaps the most daring and by far difficult of the weekend was held in Summit County in Breckenridge, where the Breckenridge 100, part of the National Ultra Endurance Mountain Bike series, took place. This series hosts races spring through fall of 100 miles for those who particularly enjoy playing and suffering on their mountain bikes for very long periods of time. The Breckenridge 100 was also the fourth installment of the Colorado based Rocky Mountain Endurance. This series is made up of five races, with the Breckenridge race being by far the toughest with not only 100 miles of mountain biking on very demanding terrain, Sam Sweetser of Park City, Utah, comes through the finish line at the Breck 100 but also sees most of the pedaling taking place at over 10,000 feet in elevation!

n June 23, a handful of local residents will trade in their day jobs as chefs, business owners and realtors for dancing shoes and a night under the spot light.
The theme of this year’s event is “Imagine.” “While the theme and décor will convey more of a ‘Willy Wonka-esque’ feel, we also can’t help but imagine the possibilities that will be made possible to our children through the generous support of participants,” says the VVF’s vice president of education, Susie Davis. “No matter whether that involves learning to read, developing a friendship with a mentor, taking a risk on a mountain bike or being the first The Vail Valley Foundation Youth Foundation’s fourth an- in the family to attend college, our local children will connual Star Dancing Gala pairs “local celebrities” with profes- tinue to have the opportunity to dream and imagine a bright sional dance instructors.

He admits that his performance, a tango with dance instructor Inga Cox, has been quite the learning experience. “I never danced in my entire life, and I’m 44 years old. My brain doesn’t work with my feet, and that’s a big problem we have,” he laughs. Another dancer, chef and restauranteur Kelly Liken, doesn’t have kids of her own in Youth Foundation programs, but works with local children through her nonprofit Sowing Seeds in conjunction with the Vail Valley Foundation. The program is in three Eagle County elementary schools and provides the school with a greenhouse, garden and curriculum for teaching the students about science, gardening, health and nutrition. With the help of local gardener Sandy Story, the program has launched at Brush Creek and Edwards Elementary, and plans are in the works to start at June Creek Elementary. The vegetables grown in the Sowing Seeds greenhouse have been integrated into a cafeteria school lunch program and students are saving their lunch scraps to add to the composting stations in the greenhouse. During the summer, students sell their produce at the local farmers market as well. Liken will be performing a waltz with ballroom instructor Scott Hopkins to John Mayer’s “Daughters.” “I think the gala is such an awesome event. It brings people from all over the valley and it’s not your typical fundraiser. It’s refreshing,” Liken says. She and Hopkins have been working on the dance since March, and Liken says the most challenging part is getting

The 2012 International Dance Festival opens for its 24th season on July 29 with a performance by New York City Ballet MOVES, but you can get out your dancing shoes starting now with a series of off-stage preview events throughout Vail in the coming weeks. With artistic director Damien Woetzel at the helm, this year’s festival features everything from breakdancing to classic ballet. Visiting dance group New York City Ballet MOVES, a select traveling group from the New York company, will return for three nights. Their special performance, “UpClose: Stravinsky by Balanchine,” celebrates the 40th anniversary of the New York City Ballet’s landmark Stravinsky Festival and focuses on the ballets created by founding choreographer George Balanchine to the music of Igor Stravinsky. For the first time, the entire Martha Graham Dance Company will be at the festival. The group’s involvement with the Vail Valley dates back to the late Betty Ford’s days of dancing with the modern American dance company. “She used to dance with the company, so they have a very close connection with the festival,” says festival spokesperson Julie Kapala. BalletX, a contemporary ballet group, will also be performing throughout the festival with their unique brand of high-energy dance. International evenings of dance, a staple of the Vail Dance Festival, will also return pairing dancers of different companies for a wide variety of different dances on a single night. The festival closes out with Dance TV, a crowd favorite that feature performers from the TV shows So You Think You Can Dance and America’s Best Dance Crew. However, before any of that hits the stage at the Ford Amphitheater and Vilar Center, people can catch a series of free shows and classes to warm up for the festival.

on the ranch’s diverse and open playground, an activity that has quickly become one of the company’s biggest attractions along with rafting in the summer and snowmobiling in the winter, says Darryl Bangert, co-owner of Sage Adventures. “They have kind of made jeeps obsolete,” says Bangert, practically gloating with pride at his fleet of shiny RZRs. “We first saw them in Moab, and knew they were going to be the next big thing.” Bangert and his son, Cole, worked on bringing a fleet out
At first glance, you might not know what to make of the newest off-roading craze. When Polaris came out with the RZR (pronounced “razor”), a four-seat utility-terrain vehicle a few years ago, they quickly became the newest darlings of the double track. It looks something like a sleek ATV with a cage, or a mini dune buggy, with all the power and more maneuverability than a jeep. Jacked up on 14-inches of suspension, it can climb over rocks and obstacles at five times the speed of a bulkier rock crawler.

The fun part is that even Leery and Bangert say that they’re still exploring the many routes on the ranch. They haven’t even scratched the surface, they admit. Adventure specialists The beauty of the company’s location on Piney River Ranch is the emptiness of the grounds – it is located 10 minutes from the interstate exit, but gives the feeling of being a world away. In the winter, snowmobile and RZR tours (yes, the RZRs can be driven in snow) have an added element of open fields of snow and white-laden forests, says Bangert. “Throughout my entire life, I thought that if I could find a job that allowed me to be outside, that’s what I wanted to do.

With the addition of the RZRs, Bangert’s created his own personal outdoor fun center on the expansive ranch. “I love seeing the people. We’re lucky enough to work and live out here.

Make the most of your gym time
Try this 30-minute kettlebell workout to burn fat and gain strength By Jake Wells Photos by Kent Pettit With the usual wonderful summer weather that we have here in the Rocky Mountain High Country, many of us want to be outside as much as possible. While you might not want to be in the gym, a strength workout can help you play harder and longer outside. Instead of going to the gym and fumbling around with benches and machines, you can maximize your time with a simple 30-minute workout that only requires one or two kettlebells. Kettlebells are cast iron weights that look like a cannonball with a handle. They come in multiple sizes and weights. Kettlebell exercises are more challenging than traditional dumbbell exercises because the weight isn’t evenly distributed, requiring work from your stabilizer muscles, and thus working your core and burning calories. Kettlebell exercises can help you move better and improve strength and endurance, especially in the lower back, legs and shoulders. However, the movements used in kettlebell exercises could potentially be dangerous if not learned correctly. With the proper form and instruction, kettlebell training is one of the most effective forms of exercise for fat loss, functional strength and increased athleticism.
decreased performance and chronic pain due to imbalance. Multiple studies show endurance athletes perform better with just two short, high-intensity strength sessions per week during their competitive season. Try a few of the following basic kettlebell exercises in a 30-to-40-minute session. Start with the first move and complete several exercises back-to-back without resting. Between sets, either jump rope or rest for one or two minutes, then repeat for a total of two or three circuits. An example routine follows. Do this two or three days a week, using a 15-or-20 -pound kettlebell and doing 10 reps per set. Front Squat
sit back into your heels, being careful not to bend too much in the knees. Lower your legs into nearly a full squat. Then stand up completely and repeat. Two-hand high pulls Squat over the bell and pick up with both hands on the handle. As you lift the bell with your legs, finish off the motion with the bell at your chest, your elbows pointing at the ceiling. Kettlebell swings Squat over the bell, and pick it up with both hands on the handle. As you straighten your legs with straight arms and a strong back, begin to swing the bell up to about eye level. As the bell decelerates, absorb the momentum by bending at the hips and in the knees, loading up for the next rep. Reverse lunges Grip the bell with an under-hand grip, then rest the bell on the back of your wrist and on your bicep (like a waiter carrying a tray.) With your feet hip-width apart, step back with the leg opposite the weight into a reverse lunge. After 12 reps, switch hands with the weight and switch legs. Reverse lunge
Do it right
Kettlebell workouts can be dangerous if done incorrectly. To start out, I recommend a short session with a trainer, or an introductory group class. Check out the one-hour “Live It, Sweat It,” classes on Mondays and Wednesdays at 12:30 p.m. at Dogma Athletica for $18 per session, or contact me for a personal kettlebell session for $30 at jakewells@me.com.

Gaining muscle, losing fat The multi-joint movements you’ll do in kettlebell exercises mimics real world movement. In natural movements, muscles seldom work alone. Rather, they incorporate large muscles groups in a coordinated manner. Using more muscles for an exercise also means an increase in energy expenditure, and thus more calories burned during and after the workout. Doing a kettlebell exercise for several minutes in a row, or with small breaks between sets, can simultaneously be a muscle-building workout and a challenging aerobic workout. This combination has proven in studies to be very effective in promoting fat loss – your body can continue to burn more energy for as much as 10 hours post workout. This is key to anyone looking to lean out and be efficient with their available training time Are you a runner, cyclist, triathlete or other endurance athlete? Many endurance athletes use the weight room as a training tool during the off-season. However, muscular strength and the ability to generate power is a transient component of fitness. Meaning if you don’t use it… you lose it. Sure, most of your summer is spent riding, running or swimming, but endurance work alone quickly changes the nature of your muscle fibers. This often leads to repetitive use injuries,

Gilbert leads the orchestra for the three final nights of the orchestra’s residency, July 25, 26 and 27. For its first appearance under the baton of Gilbert, the New York Philharmonic partners with Principal Associate Concertmaster Sheryl Staples on July 25 as violin soloist in renditions of “Winter” and “Spring” from Vivaldi’s beloved “Four Seasons,” alongside Tchaikovsky’s epic Fourth Symphony, which the composer called “better than anything I’ve done so far.” On July 26, for the residency’s penultimate night, Gil-

Gilbert, the orchestra’s director and the first native New Yorker to hold the post, began his tenure in September 2009, launching what New York magazine called “a fresh future for the Philharmonic.” Brahms figures prominently in the Vail Music Festival 2012 programs, and the New York Philharmonic launches its tenth residency with Beethovenian First Symphony, under dynamic Russian guest conductor Andrey Boryeko. The July 20 program also presents Saint-Saëns’ popular Second Piano Concerto, with the teenaged Grosvenor at the piano. He has been called “a formidable technician and a thoughtful, coolly assured interpreter” (New York Times) who has just been named winner of the UK Critics’ Circle Award for “Exceptional Young Talent.” To honor the silver anniversary season, a number of important works are being presented for the first time this summer in Vail. These premiere performances include Tchaikovsky’s Second Piano Concerto, with McDermott on Saturday, July 21. This concerto anchors an all-Tchaikovsky program that embraces such audience favorites as the 1812 Overture, guest conducted by Grammy Award-winner Bramwell Tovey. On Sunday, July 21, Tovey returns to conduct the third concert of the residency, an American program that highlights the “superlative coloratura” (Globe and Mail) of soprano Tracy Dahl in favorite songs by Bernstein and Gershwin (another composer whose work is explored in depth

Gala supports music, life les sons Bravo’s after-school program sees success, pairing teachers with kids SneakPEAK staff report As a high school student, Hannah Ploughman had always been discouraged from pursuing a degree in music. That changed while she was still in high school, after working with the Bravo! Vail Valley Music Festival as a piano teacher for their after-school piano program, teaching music to elementary school students. “Before my experience with the festival, I was discouraged to pursue music through college,” she says. “I was just told by so many that a degree in music was a waste of time. But my experience with Bravo made me realize there are many options and careers in the music industry. Whether you try to perform, teach or run a music festival, the options are plentiful.” Currently she is enrolled in the University of Northern Colorado’s School of Music, majoring in vocal performance. This weekend, supporters of Bravo! and its music programs will gather at the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens for the festival’s 25th annual gala. This year’s theme is “Under the Silvery Moon,” and ticket sales benefit the Music Matters program. Launching the program Ploughman is one of a number of promising high school students who have both helped the Music Matters program take off and have found success themselves in the process. The festival’s after-school piano lessons impact the lives of both students and the teachers-intraining, and the festival’s internship program has led to careers in nonprofit and arts management throughout the country. In 2009, Bravo launched the piano program in two locations in Eagle County. A professional piano teacher taught one classroom, and Ploughman, then a senior at Battle Mountain High School, taught the other. She had no experience teaching in the classroom, and the thought that teaching piano to five students in one half-hour class was daunting. But through the mentorship of retired piano teacher Lynn Chapin, Ploughman found herself at home in the classroom as she developed and refined her teaching skills. “Lynn definitely helped me a lot that first year,” she says “I just didn’t know where or how to start. I knew how to play the piano but no idea on how to teach instrumental lessons. Bravo provided me the opportunity to learn how to teach, develop lesson plans and manage a classroom.” Upon graduating from high school, she decided to take a year off and continue working for Bravo’s after-school instrumental program. Her involvement enabled the program to grow, and in 2010 she managed three classrooms, two in Edwards and one in Gypsum. Working for Bravo, Hannah was able to save enough money to purchase a car and started applying to colleges. Each year, the festival employs up to six accomplished high school pianists like Ploughman to help run the piano classes. Part of the goal is to create a new generation of piano teachers for Eagle and Lake Counties while at the same time help these teachers-in-training to develop job skills. Piano for everyone Now in its fourth year, the after-school piano program has grown tremendously and provides half-hour piano classes each week for 175 students during the academic year. The program retains more than 90 percent of the students throughout the year. Last year, nine classes were conducted in eight locations each week. Lessons cost $2 per class and fees are waived for more than 40 percent of underprivileged students. Students who cannot afford to

Learning to play an instrument is not easy, so when a child is able to actually read and play the music they get so excited. These ‘aha’ moments are so fun and build a very positive self-image for the students” Children in the program are tested half way through the year, and the same test is administered again at the end of the program. Overall, students experienced a 110 percent improvement in understanding music theory and piano performance. “The younger the students were, the more significant their improvement, says Marguerite Tuthill, the festival’s piano class administrator. Others such as Ploughman have been mentored and encouraged to pursue related careers as a result of the program. Bravo’s college internship program has contributed significantly to some successful careers in nonprofit and arts management for many college graduates. After completing his Master’s degree in December, former intern Andrew Koch was invited to the League of American Orchestras’ Essentials program in January. From there, he traveled from meeting to meeting and sat down with artistic directors from Boston to Los Angeles. Koch’s job search created an interest in various positions, but ultimately, it led him to accept a full-time job as an artistic coordinator in Indianapolis. Within just two months, he has worked with musicians Joshua Bell and Andre Watts and contracted dozens of artists for future engagements. Koch recognizes the Bravo Internship Program for creating a solid foundation in successful arts management. “I’m very grateful to the Bravo! Vail Valley Music Festival for identifying my passion and skills and allowing me some artistic tasks,” he says.

Understanding how different ingredients interact with each other and under different circumstances will help you troubleshoot Have you ever watched a cake bake? Most people don’t have the time to stand in front of the oven. many common mistakes and fine-tune your favorite recipes. If you’re struggling with a cake that rises and falls, or that explodes beyond the confines of You’re most likely cleaning your kitchen, or whipping up a the cake pan, you can start by reducing the chemical leaveners (baking powder, baking soda) by batch of frosting while your cake slowly, but surely, rises to a third and adding some extra flour. This is a common occurrence at high altitude because the perfection. Suddenly, in the midst of your cleaning brigade, the chemical reactions of these ingredients are more intense and create a crumb structure that the rest timer goes off, and you hurry to the oven to remove your cake. of the ingredients cannot support. As a result, the cake collapses in on itself.

You confidently pull your golden-brown confection from the oven and set it aside to cool, and certainly not without Choose your flour giving yourself a good ol’ pat on the back. Be careful not too add to much flour though, since this will dilute other flavorings in the batter, “Now that’s a cake!” you think to yourself. “I just might even have what it takes to be the next and create a cake that is more dense than light and fluffy.

Your confidence as a Sweet Genius is now just another pipe dream, but never mind that, because you’ve got bigger concerns – like how you’re going to frost a cake with a choice of flour for making bread because it has the most protein and therefore will create the most gluten during the mixing process.

Likewise, if you over mix your dough, you will encourage a tighter web of gluten to form.
What to do if...
• Your cake sinks in the center: Decrease the amount of leavener (baking soda or powder), and increase the amount of flour • Your cookies spread out too much: Decrease the amount of sugar and increase number of eggs, or reduce the amount of baking soda, if there is any. • Your puff pastry or pie dough is gummy, rather than flaky: Increase the oven temperature. • Your bread is heavy and dense: Use a high-gluten flour or bread flour. Increase mixing time and proofing time. Also, try and create a source of steam in your oven during baking. • Your cheesecake cracks: Bake it like a custard in a hot water bath at a low baking temperature for a longer period of time.

Egg-xactly In baking, flour is considered a stabilizer, as well as eggs. While eggs may be added with the liquid ingredients, they consist of protein, which coagulates during baking. Eggs are the most important ingredient in custard. If you your crème brûlée ends up too runny, then you may need to add am extra egg or two to your recipe. Likewise, if your crème brûlée tastes more like scrambled eggs than you may need to remove an egg, bake at a lower temperature, and/or for a shorter amount of time. Other common ingredients like butter, sugar, milk and water are liquefiers. Increasing these ingredients will usually add moisture to your baked goods, but will also cause them to spread out more, which is usually the case when you are making cookies. If you wanted to make your cookies sweeter, you can add more sugar, but you may have to add an extra egg to prevent your cookies from spreading out too much. Follow these tips to troubleshoot your next mishap in the kitchen, and don’t let that high altitude foil your next dessert.

2012. The addition of Brandon Marshall gives the Bears their first true #1 wide receiver in decades, and Michael Bush will get touches as well, all of which may make Forte even that more effective. Bowe and Welker don’t strike a deal and have to settle for nearly $10 million Not surprisingly, the Kansas City Chiefs and New England Patriots failed to come to long-term deals with their franchise-tagged wide receivers Dwayne Bowe and Wes Welker. Don’t feel too bad for these pass catchers though, as each player will earn $9.5 million in 2012. Welker signed his franchise tender back in March while Bowe has yet to sign his. FanRag’s sneakPEAK: The Patriots weren’t about to sign the 31-year-old Welker to a long-term deal. Tom Brady’s cap number is nearly $22 million in 2013, so it is unlikely that New England will franchise Welker again next year ($11.4 million) and devote roughly one-fourth of cap space to two players. Though not considered an elite wide out, Dwayne Bowe should feel lucky to be paid the average salary of the five highest paid receivers. Bowe is a six-year veteran who boasts breathtaking talent but also screams of inconsistency while lacking motivation. Bowe’s best season was in 2010 when he led all NFL receivers with 15 touchdowns. Bowe has caused his own coaches, players, and fans headaches with his erratic behavior and play, and the Chiefs may not even pursue a deal in the future. I can see Welker taking less in 2013 to stay with New England -- that’s the “Patriot way.” In contrast, Bowe’s propensity for boneheaded plays will mean he’ll hold out and come into camp out of shape.

Clutter becomes fire relief Eagle Chamber sidewalk sale to raise wildfire funds By Melanie Wong The Eagle Chamber of Commerce wants your slightly used and unwanted “stuff” – old clothes, furniture, jewelry, appliances, furniture and sports equipment. Through a community sidewalk sale on Eagle’s Broadway Street on Saturday, July 28, organizers hope to turn the community’s clutter into financial aid for Colorado’s wildfire relief. Donations can be dropped off at Eagle Town Hall during business hours through June 27. From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, you can shop the goods and even catch some deals with the sale’s “name-your-own-price” format. The Old
Salvation Army sends canteen While the donation of items are greatly appreciated, it’s true that monetary donations are the most effective type of help for the Salvation Army, says Tsu Wolin-Brown of the Vail Valley Salvation Army. “One thing that happens with a disaster is that there is no storage, so it becomes a bit of a logistical challenge to handle donated goods. If you send money, then they can give gift cards to victims and people can go locally and buy what they need,” Wolin-Brown says. While the Salvation Army’s state headquarters handles the

Kentucky Tavern across the street will be donating part of their proceeds of the day to the effort as well, and there will also be a silent auction with a variety of Colorado trips and activities up for bid. The proceeds will be split between the Colorado Red Cross and the Salvation Army. Eagle Chamber member and sale organizer Michelle Friedman says the idea came about as to what the community could do to help out during the wildfires that raged throughout the state in June. “We were thinking about what the chamber could do, and I found out (many organizations) were just asking for financial donations because that is what they need most,” she says. “One idea they gave was for a yard sale. I thought that was an easy way for everyone to help out. There are people who want to help, but not everyone might have money to donate funds, so you can drop off your unwanted items instead.” The urgency to pitch in really hit after a lightning strike caused a small fire outside Eagle on June 29. “It is happening here, and it could very easily be our neighbors who are affected,” Friedman says. “There were a lot of people (in the Front Range fires) who lost a lot of things, and we should do this as Coloradans and neighbors.”

wildfire relief efforts, the Vail Valley chapter did send their mobile canteen to Colorado Springs. The four-wheel drive truck is equipped with a full commercial kitchen and can feed about 200 people per hour. A group of Vail Valley volunteers spent five days at the fire site helping to feed evacuated residents. “We wanted to share the canteen with other communities. I always say that we know how to cater disasters,” WolinBrown laughs. Other donations of clothing, food and personal hygiene items, gathered by the Community Banks of Colorado branches in Avon, Eagle and Edwards were sent to the Lakewood Salvation Army for distribution last week. “We’re doing this because first of all we’re a community bank, so we’re always doing community projects,” says Ellie Swingle, banking center manager at the Avon branch. “Also, our banks are all over the state, and some of our employees down there were directly affected by the fire.” Red Cross continues help Part of the sidewalk sales proceeds will also go toward the Red Cross, which in response to the fires, has set up and

Now that evacuations are lifted, Red Cross workers have been staffing service sites where residents can come for cleanup and recovery supplies, mental health support and to meet one-on-one with caseworkers who connect them with the necessary resources. Red Cross mobile teams have also been driving through the affected areas delivering snacks, water, cleanup kits and more to people who have returned to their neighborhoods. “Donations will help cover our costs of responding to the wildfire throughout the state. It helps support the mental health workers, feeding, and cost of basic supplies at the shelters. It also helps with ongoing recovery activities as we keep meeting with affected residents who are moving back to their neighborhoods,” says Red Cross Regional Communications Director Patricia Billinger. She says the best ways people can support the Red Cross’ wildfire efforts is to give financial donations through www. coloradoredcross.org or to sign up to be trained as a volunteer. “In emergency response, cash donations give us the flexibility to respond to a large number of people in a short period of time,” Billinger says. “For example, earlier last month we had the Hyde Park fire.

Featured Wedding of the Week
Vizcaino-Lemon Wedding Bride: Kelly Lemon of Vail, Colo. Groom: Agustin Vizcaino of Quito, Ecuador Married: June 26, 2011 Location: Beaver Creek, Colo. How they met Agustin and Kelly met salsa dancing in Ecuador when Kelly was studying abroad in Quito. How he proposed Agustin took Kelly on one of her favorite hiking trails, Stone Creek Trail, in the fall. Kelly was taking a photo of the aspens and turned to see Agustin on his knee. “After sharing some beautiful words - he asked me to marry him!” says Kelly. “I said, ‘Wait... really? Yes! Yes!’ He then asked me if he could give a gift and gave me the ring. I loved that the focus was on us getting married, and the ring came after to symbolize our commitment.” Favorite memories from the wedding day “I loved seeing Agustin’s expression,” Kelly says. “My brother, JD Lemon, walked me down the aisle and about halfway, he pulls out his point-and-shoot camera from his pocket and says ‘Smile!’ in the middle of the aisle! It definitely broke the ice and is the best photo.” Her other favorite memory is the dance party at the reception. The music was a blend of American favorites and Latin music. Agustin’s family came from South America and taught Kelly’s friends and family how to salsa and merengue. “There was never a dull moment,” she says.

ULTRA RACING –––––––––––
[From page 5]
tastes just as good.” One of the most difficult aspects of this type of hobby is obvious – the time commitment. Mt. Pleasant admits that training for these events with a nine-to-five job is a huge obstacle. “It’s tough to train your body to race for six plus hours when your average day allows for about an hour or two of training. By the weekend, work has taken away the motivation to go out and ‘train’ for a six hour ride,” he says. Vail Valley rider Brett Donelson says another appeal to ultra races is the opportunity to explore new trails. “I get stuck in riding the same trails and courses year after year,” says the endurance coach. “These longer events get me out pre-riding the courses and exploring new trails. So many of these rides are on sweet singletrack that I would never ride if I did not sign up for these events.” There’s a lot to be said for the mindset of pushing your limits, too, he says. He sees that all the time with the people he coaches and the girl’s mountain bike team, Ells Angels, which he trains with his wife. “I like to push what I think is possible,” he says. “I think it helps people that I coach and the Ells Angels realize that whatever the event, there are always ‘bigger and better’ things to strive for if they want to. I will probably never win one of these events and I will hate it for that day, but the day after I immediately start thinking about next year.” Michael Weiss, a rider with an impressive race resume that includes the title of Austrian National MTB Champion and world-class triathlete, dominated the Breck 100 this year. Weiss is also currently serving a two-year ban from sanctioned events due to involvement in a blood doping event in 2005. Weiss overcame a slow-leaking tire twice during the race on Sunday, and eventually had to ride the last four to five miles to the finish downhill on a rear flat tire. He was still able to take the victory with a time of 8:14:46. Josh Tostado, a local Breckenridge rider who has won the Breck 100 a record six times, finished second just over eight minutes behind On the women’s pro side of the field, Amanda Carey of Kenda/Felt won with a time just over 10 hours, stealing the title from defending champion Yari Kirkland of Crested Butte. Completing the task So each weekend brings more difficult tests of endurance for athletes in every discipline of sport. Make it tougher to finish an event, and it seems more people will make it a goal to toe the line to complete the task. This coming weekend brings another big mountain biking test at the12 Hours of Snowmass and many of the competitors who raced in Breckenridge will be there on Saturday to challenge themselves in yet another brutal test of endurance. These athletes require a unique blend of drive, determination, mental fortitude, talent and a small element of mental illness to pull it off. As for me, I’d just prefer to sit around and talk about it. Happy racing! SneakPEAK writer Larry Grossman can be reached at info@sneakpeakvail.com

Finding the truth in healthy eating amongst the shelves of a grocery store could be likened to finding a moral lawyer or atheist clergymen. Genetically altered veggies can be labeled “Colorado Proud” and the meat almost sarcastically “free range.” A new and unlikely candidate can be exposed as duping buyers and recruiting them to think that their purchase is in good taste. The culprit is olive oil. Acclaimed as a non-waistline-destructive substitute over its counterparts, butter and margarine, the health benefits of olive oil run deeper than simply slimming the stomach. In fact, olive oil is chalk full of fat, says Daryl Moss, a health counselor who also runs the health website www.missiontowellness.com. “Everyone needs fat in their diet,” says Moss. “Good quality olive oil is a good source of that good type of fat. It is full of antioxidants and the necessary unsaturated fat.” The difference between the slippery golden oil and a slab of butter is that olive oil is full of monounsaturated fat. “These (monounsaturated) fats help with cholesterol control,” says Tom Crisofulli, owner and physician at Dr. Tom’s Healthy Habits in Avon. “In moderation, they don’t raise cholesterol and when substituted for saturated fats or trans fats, it can reduce risk of heart attack.” Scientifically, the monounsaturated fatty acids that are so good are the oleic and linoleic fatty acids, says Crisofulli. These fatty acids lower cholesterol by creating high-density lipoproteins while lowering the creation of low-density lipoproteins, otherwise known as “bad cholesterol.” Generically, you could think of how the fats are processed and their transport in the body. The high-density lipoprotein cruises through the body like a, well, oil. Low-density lipoprotein coagulates and pushes through the body like a gunked-up pipe. Crisofulli also says that the oil is high in vitamin E, a known antioxidant. Consuming two to three tablespoons of raw or uncooked olive oil can maximize these benefits. Consuming olive oil uncooked, as with vegetables, preserves the nutritional structure that gives the body these good fatty acids and antioxidants. When olive oil is cooked above a flash point of 350 degrees, the nutritional elements break down, he says.
Not your everyday oil Crisanti’s shop celebrated its grand opening last weekend and promises its customers top products both in health and in taste. “We don’t sell just everyday olive oil,” Crisanti says. “Our product comes from trusted producers all over the world.” Crisanti, who owns the shop with his wife, Nichole, says they only order from distributors in areas of the world where what is going into the olive oil is in pristine condition. When ingredients in Australia are good, they order from Australia. When the season shifts to the Mediterranean, so does their distributor. To pair with the oil, they sell a variety of balsamic vinegars. Some of their most outstanding vinegars include their 18-year-old traditional balsamic, Sicilian lemon and dark espresso. The products are top-notch, says Crisanti, but he says they also take pride in giving their clientele a good experience.

Crisanti, owner of the newly opened Rocky Mountain Olive Oil Company located in Riverwalk. Manufacturers also use genetically modified ingredients that “ripen” before hitting their nutritional prime. Some may even use oils from other vegetables and then dye the substance to achieve an olive color. This creates oil, not olive oil, says Crisanti. Think in terms of a chocolate milkshake -- if one uses the $2 gallon ice cream, powdered milk and expired chocolate, the outcome may be cheap and bearable but it will not be the creamy, savory treat one hopes. Olive oil is the same in that the quality of the product is directly related to what goes into it. “There may be other seed oils that dilute the olive oil, making it impure,” Crisanti says. “You can taste the difference. Bad olive oil tastes olive-ey, good olive oil tastes like olive oil. There is a difference.” Olive oil is problematic in this regard because it is seen as a base ingredient to many other dishes, which can cause people to overlook its quality. When washed and dyed, the nutritional benefit of olive oils is lost. When it is mixed with other vegetable and seed oils, the nutritional benefit is sacrificed.

STAR DANCING GALA ––––––– the final polishes on the piece. “I have no dance background, so this has been fun but challenging. I am starting to get a little nervous to do it in front of a 1,000 people, but it wouldn’t be the first time I’ve made a fool of myself in front of a crowd!” she says. The limited remaining tickets for the fourth annual Star Dancing Gala are $275 per person and are available online at www. stardancinggala.com. Various event packages are also available. For additional information on the Youth Foundation, visit www. theyouthfoundation.org.

Davis says one of the best things about the gala is that participants and donors can see the effect of the Youth Foundation’s work in the community. “This playful evening doesn’t end with dancing,” says Davis. “The effects of the Star Dancing Gala are experienced daily all year through opportunities for local children. This is what constantly reminds us to continue reaching for the stars.” SneakPEAK editor Melanie Wong can be reached at Melanie@sneakpeakvail.com

The way he sees it, he not only gets to be outside doing what he loves, but gets to share that with his customers. “Recreate is literally re-create. That’s what people come to Colorado to do. It’s a paradigm shift. We allow people to recreate their life view in a natural setting. It’s really fun to see them do it,” he says.
GYPSUM DAZE –––––––––––
SneakPEAK editor Melanie Wong can be reached at Melanie@sneakpeakvail.com
The awards ceremony after the 5k in years past has been as much a ceremony of awards as it is the setting to catch up with good friends. Rowheder, a standout for Eagle Valley High School track and field hurdles, ran her first 5k there last year. She spoke her first words and took for her first steps in Gypsum as a true town local. “I’ve lived there (in Gypsum) since I was 0,” Rowheder says. “I moved into the house

Spiritually-integrated psychotherapy COUNSELING THAT CONNECTS HEART, MIND & SPIRIT Do you rarely enjoy being with your family? Do you worry about never having someone who cares about you? Do you wonder why others need so much closeness? What we know is what we do, and it begins with attachment. The first connections experienced in life influence our relationships and interactions for years. When there have been interruptions to those early attachments - whether adoption, divorce, death, medical crises, abandonment or abuse - the basis for trust and security in relationships is affected. Identifying your attachment/connection style and the beliefs associated with it can move you toward what you want in your relationships and in your life. Deb Felio, M.A., L.P.C., is a nationally recognized presenter and therapist specializing in attachment issues for adoptive and blended families, individuals healing from trauma, and those who want to change the repeated patterns of choosing the wrong people. For real change, change how you connect. To set up an appointment, Call Deb directly at 303-548-8902.
Shoulder Pain? S
uffering from shoulder pain or pain in the upper back and shoulder blade is very common. This is a condition that can limit any number of activities from working on a computer, golfing or even biking. The shoulder is a very unique region due to the great amount of movement that happens here. This is possible because the actual shoulder joint itself is not a tight fit like many other joints Many elite and in the body. Instead, muscles surrounding the joint professional sports (called the rotator cuff), provide a great amount of movement as well as stabilizing this joint. organizations have During the many activities of our daily lives, used ART extensively for these muscles can become tight and fail to improved recovery times, work properly.
