VMS soccer season ends Gore Rangers lose tough one to lady Lions 4-1 By Brian Alexander Mountaineer Staff Writer Doesn’t the saying go, ‘the third time’s the charm’? Unfortunately for the Vail Mountain School girls varsity soccer team that phrase didn’t hold true in yesterday’s home 3A playoff game against the Lutheran-Parker lady Lions. For the third straight year the Gore Rangers made the state soccer playoffs, and for the first time in that stretch hosted

their opponent at Bandoni Alumni Field. Sporting the traditional blaze orange playoff jerseys, which goes back to the ‘98 playoffs for VMS soccer – inspired by an underdog Netherlands team and their upset win in the ‘88 Euro Championships – the attire was perfect for the conditions in East Vail, as snow dumped on the field throughout the entire game. The weather and VMS’s jerseys were better suited for a late November hunt-

ing trip or one of the powder days local skiers spent the season enjoying. It was a tough fought, back and forth affair between the two squads, grinding through the weather to entertain the fans in attendance during almost whiteout conditions. The first half of play saw the lady Lions open the scoring, when the Gore Rangers goalie Clare Elitch challenged a breakaway run out by Lutheran-Parker’s

Shelby Raper. With the ball being wet and sloppy, Raper couldn’t find a grip on the shot attempt and the ball slipped past her allowing a Lady Lion to run up and finish the scoring attempt, putting LPHS ahead 1-0. Vail Mountain didn’t wait long to get the equalizer, as Gore Ranger Kelsey Samuels evened up the game shortly after her opponents goal. As both teams [See SOCCER, page 16]

Bin Laden sought new targets, higher body count

Deep in hiding, his terror organization becoming battered and fragmented, Osama bin Laden kept pressing followers to find new ways to hit the U.S., officials say, citing his private journal and other documents recovered in last week’s raid. Strike smaller cities, bin Laden suggested. Target trains as well as planes. Above all, kill as many Americans as possible in a single attack. Though he was out of the public eye and al-Qaida seemed to be weakening, bin Laden never yielded control of his worldwide organization, U.S. officials said yesterday.

Mississippi River continues to swell

Floodwaters from the bloated Mississippi River and its tributaries spilled across farm fields, cut off churches, washed over roads and forced people from their homes yesterday in the Mississippi Delta, a poverty-stricken region only a generation or two removed from sharecropping days.

LETTERS

Locals should be fair to accused Edwards man Editor, I have known and worked with Alfred Bamberger for the past several years as a patient. I never experienced anything but the highest professionalism and deep consideration for my well being throughout the time Alfred worked with me. Moreover, I never observed anything different than this same high regard in his interactions with others. I cannot imagine anything of the sort that he has been accused of. I would hope that our standard of law “innocent until proven guilty�

U N M AT C H E D P R I VA C Y Timber Falls #1401 East Vail

is upheld, not only by the authorities but most importantly by the citizens of Vail. What one person asserts about another is not necessarily factual. Accusations such as those against Alfred must be proven. As a retired psychotherapist with a former practice, I witnessed many moments when a memory was misstated, when an action was misconstrued. In such cases, any overt action taken before all was sorted out would have ruined lives and derailed any healing. Until this is the case, it is important to remem-

ber that all parties involved in the current situation must be given full consideration and respect; public discussion must be restrained and well thought out until all voices are heard and facts are proven. Lives and reputations are at stake here. As one of the “public� voices in the valley, The Vail Daily has a special duty to follow this consideration and respect and not drown in sensational and harmful reporting. The high road is there for the taking. Sincerely, John Geiger

CROP Hunger Walk raised more than $1,000 Editor, We are most elated to share the great success of the CROP Hunger Walk of Eagle County that took place in Eagle Ranch on May 1, 2011. More than 200 walkers from our valley showed their support for ending hunger locally and globally by participating in a 1k or 5k walk, helping us raise more than $11,000, truly a huge accomplishment! This money will help feed local families in need through the Salvation Army food pantries, as well as people in need throughout the world.

CORRECTIONS - The headline for an obituary in Tuesday’s Mountaineer incorrectly identified the name of the deceased. The woman’s name was Janice Fox, but the headline read “Rest in peace: Janet Fox.� The Mountaineer regrets this error, and apologizes to all friends and family of the deceased. In yesterday’s Mountaineer, an article titled “Snowball boosts special events� incorrectly cited the amount Beaver Bench Condominium Owner’s Association is requesting from the town for expenses during the Snowball Music Festival in March. The association wants to be reimbursed for roughly $1,700, not the $17,000 reported. The Mountaineer regrets this error.

State legislature has a tough fight on last day Republicans, Democrats square off on rules bill, but avoid special session By Peter Marcus The Denver Daily News As the Legislature approached the midnight hour to approve legislation that would enact state agency rules, lawmakers increasingly attacked each other through the media, while the governor attempted to diffuse the situation. At stake was a $20,000 per day special session, needed only if Republicans and Democrats were unable to find common ground before midnight, when the Legislature adjourned for the year. House Republicans ultimately backed down on a controversial amendment to the annual rule-review bill, which governs hundreds of rules facing every aspect of state government — from hunting to oil and gas regulation. But not before Democrats told Republicans to “grow up” after they attached the amendment to the legislation. The amendment pushed by Republicans aimed to assist the payday lending industry, repealing a rule directing lend-

ers to refund all fees on a pro-rated basis if the short-term loan is paid off early. Critics say the repeal protects the payday lending industry, while increasing costs for “hard-working Coloradans.” “By taking this bill hostage, (House Speaker Frank) McNulty has shown that he cares more about predatory lenders than the well-being of Colorado teachers, oil and gas producers, hunters, the poor or the elderly,” Senate Majority Leader John Morse (D-Colorado Springs) said in a statement earlier in the day. “Frank McNulty is standing up for predatory payday lender organizations while making Colorado citizens feel like they’ve been slapped with a wet leather glove.” Rep. Bob Gardner (R-Colorado Springs), who introduced the amendment, said the original rule went beyond its intent. “When Republicans came into office, we were told by Coloradans that we need to get our economy back on track and create jobs,” Gardner said in defense

of his amendment. “By supporting this amendment, and keeping state agencies in check, we are doing just that.” Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper, who has mostly sat out the partisan bickering facing the Legislature this year, left his executive office yesterday in an attempt to find common ground between Republicans and Democrats. As governor, Hickenlooper is charged with the task of calling a special session if needed. The rules must be adopted by Saturday to take effect, so threat of a special session loomed all day. The fighting continued throughout the day, though there were some lighter last day highlights that made the Capitol feel more like a high school on the last day of classes, than a Legislature tasked with crafting laws that govern the state. Sen. Shawn Mitchell (R-Broomfield) dropped a rubber band ball from the third floor rotunda, which gathered a large crowd along the winding steps of the Capitol, and Rep. Mark Waller (R-

Colorado Springs) let his toy helicopter buzz around the House for a while. But as some lawmakers were celebrating the last day of the session, others kept the fight alive. House Democratic Leader Sal Pace (D-Pueblo) told Republicans to “grow up and stop toying with rules bill.” “We’re wasting money and time on political shenanigans and it is wholly unacceptable,” said Pace. The Senate ultimately voted 21-14 to adhere to the rules bill, opposing the House amendment pushed by Republicans. Only one Republican, Sen. Ellen Roberts of Durango, joined Democrats. House Republicans then had to plan their next move. Rather than cost taxpayers a special session, McNulty announced that Republicans would recede from its position. Democrats cheered their victory, and gave credit to Republicans. “I have to give credit to my friends on the other side of the aisle,” said Pace.

Ballet takes local teen across world Student invited to prestigious Bolshoi Academy in Moscow By Phil Lindeman Mountaineer Staff Writer Haley Hervert’s life feels like a math equation. In four weeks, the 15-year-old ballet dancer joins 16 others from across the country in New York, where they will train with the Bolshoi Ballet Summer Intensive, a program culled from hundreds of applicants across the country. Three weeks later, the small cadre -- all under the age of 18 -- travels nearly 4,700 miles to the 235-yearold Bolshoi Ballet Academy outside Moscow, Russia, hailed by many as the most prestigious traditional dance academy in the world -- a sort of Oxford for ballerinas. While there, she and the group will undergo hours of training, inside the studio and out, on the Russian language, culture, history, and renowned dance curriculum. The entire experience, nine weeks from start to finish, comes at no expense to Haley or her family. The U.S. Department of State foots the bill through its National Security Language Initiative for Youth program, which finds students with an interest in less-common languages, and in turn gives scholarships to study in a host country. Ballet, in some ways, is just a lucrative perk. While the numbers seem overwhelming, they give only a narrow glimpse into Haley’s whirlwind schedule. Perhaps a math equation isn’t the right analogy; as a dancer, the image of an intricate, international dance is more fitting than static lines on paper. “If she’s not dancing, she’s doing homework. If she’s not doing homework, she’s working,� said Haley’s mother, Susie. “She is the type of person who will make the most of this experience. She’s going to take this opportunity and run with it.� As Susie recalls, Haley has dreamed of Moscow for over two years. In the summer of 2009, while she was still a middle-schooler at

She was taught in Russian and “She loves languages,� Susie said, noting Haley’s vigor for dance is reflected in the classroom. “She’d like to pursue it as a possible career, maybe with the government or another agency.� The camp experience stuck with Haley, and she stays in regular contact with the other students. This year marks the first time she was old enough to apply for the program

abroad. “She has been easing into this, taking things several weeks at a time,� Susie said, noting Haley has spent the last four summers at ballet camps across the country. “It’s a gradual thing. She will improve, she will learn.

Party for the planet in Eagle Annual celebration will benefit local environmental groups Memorial Day is still weeks away, but businesses and residents of Eagle plan to kick the summer season off Saturday with the town’s fourth annual Party for the Planet. Organizers said the party attracts anywhere from 1,500 to 2,000 greenies every year, and expect this year will be no different. Partygoers will enjoy bands, a beer garden, and environmentally friendly activities like trash cleanup or tree planting. The event was originally planned as an Earth Day celebration, but organizers moved the date to midMay to avoid Vail Mountain’s closing day festivities and to dodge crummy late-season weather. So far, it looks like Mother Nature will cooperate. As of last night, the National Weather Service predicted fair weather for Saturday, though there is a 20 percent chance of rain showers or afternoon thunderstorms. “The weather reports have varied, but I believe it’s going to be beautiful,� said Gabrie Higbie, sales director from KZYR radio. The party is the brainchild of KZYR, the Eagle Valley Alliance for Sustainability, and Walking Mountains Science Center, Higbie said in an interview yesterday. The event is primarily a fundraiser for the Eagle Valley Alliance and Walking Mountains, two of the valley’s foremost environmental organizations. Registration fees for the 40-plus venders registered for the event will go directly to the organizations, Higbie said. Beer will be provided by Ed-

Short track race cancelled after rain

Public event at 4 Eagle Ranch rescheduled for this coming Monday The Vail Recreation District’s (VRD) Spring MTB Short Track Race Series scheduled for last night at 4 Eagle Ranch has been postponed as a result of inclement weather and poor course conditions. It has been rescheduled for Monday, May 16, and all start times are the same for the rescheduling. The final Spring MTB Short Track race will still take place at Beaver Creek on Wednesday, May 18. Race-day activities begin at 5 p.m. with day-of registration, which will last until 6:30 p.m. The first race of the event begins at 5:30 p.m. for kids ages 6 to 9 years, followed by a race at 5:45 p.m. for kids ages 10 to 14 years. Adult races will begin at 6 p.m. with the Beginner Category and continue with the Sport Category at 6:25 p.m. The final race, the Expert Category, will begin at 6:50 p.m. Costs to participate in the races are $5 for kids and $10 for adults. All races take place on a short, dirt loop, with adult participants completing as many laps as possible in 20 minutes with an average lap taking approximately two minutes to finish. The length of time for the youth races is 10 minutes for both ages 6 to 9 and 10 to 14. More than 120 racers have partici-

pated in the last two races in Eagle and according to event director Beth Pappas, 4 Eagle Ranch will once again challenge riders while preparing them for the Riverfront Club at Westin’s Mountian Bike Race Series, which kicks off May 25. “We’ve had a blast offering riders some early season racing this year,” said Pappas. “With only two more short track races to go, this is a great opportunity for bikers to get ready for our annual summer race series.” An after party will be held at 4 Eagle Ranch following the race for all participants and spectators. All racers will have the chance to win raffle prizes and adult racers will receive a free Bud Light. Unlike the seven race Riverfront Club at the Westin’s Mountain Bike Race Series, the Spring MTB Short Track Series does not award prizes or points for individual racers or teams. Sponsors of the 2011 Spring MTB Short Track Series include Beaver Creek Resort, Bud Light, Technovia Consulting, Howard Head Sports Medicine and Dusty Boot. Pre-registration for the MTB Short Track Race as well as information about VRD’s action-packed lineup of spring and summer mountain bike activities is available by calling 970-479-2280 or by visiting www.vailrec.com.

Gadhafi alive despite rumors of death

Pressing to break a two-month siege, rebels in the port city of Misrata said yesterday they had captured the local airport and pushed Moammar Gadhafi’s forces ever further from the city’s western outskirts. The reported advances were the latest in a recent flurry of accounts of rebel victories, coinciding with intensified NATO airstrikes on Gadhafi’s forces in several areas of Libya. In all, NATO said yesterday, the alliance has carried out more than 2,400 airstrikes since March 31 as part of the effort to assist the rebels and pressure Gadhafi to end his 42-year authoritarian rule.

Late yesterday evening, local time, Gadhafi made his first TV appearance since a NATO airstrike on his residential compound killed one of his sons on April 30. Because Gadhafi had not made an appearance, rumors began circulating that he had been hit in the April 30 airstrike. The brief TV appearance seemed designed to squelch the rumors.

Syrian army bombs homes, residents

The Syrian army shelled residential areas and unleashed gunmen yesterday, and a human rights group said at least 18 people were killed, including an 8-year-old boy. The shelling of neighborhoods evoked memories of the Assad regime’s brutal, 40-year legacy of crushing dissent. Syrian activists and protesters involved in the seven-week-long uprising renewed their cries for the world to join them in calling for embattled President Bashar Assad to give up power.

“The Syrian people are being killed and Bashar knows that he has a free hand. Nobody is really stopping him,” a 28-year-old Syrian from the besieged seaside city of Banias told The Associated Press by telephone, asking that his name not be used out of fear for his own safety. Assad is determined to crush the uprising despite international pressure and sanctions from Europe and the United States. European countries summoned Syrian ambassadors yesterday to threaten a new round of sanctions if the regime fails to halt the bloodshed.

Obama approval hits 60 percent

President Barack Obama’s approval rating has hit its highest point in two years — 60 percent — and more than half of Americans now say he deserves to be re-elected, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll taken after U.S. forces killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden. In worrisome signs for Republicans, the president’s standing improved not just on foreign policy but also on the economy, and independents — a key voting bloc in the November 2012 presidential election — caused the overall uptick in support by sliding back to Obama after fleeing for much of the past two years. Comfortable majorities of the public now call Obama a strong leader who will keep America safe. Nearly three-fourths also now say they are confident that Obama can effectively handle terrorist threats.

In a clear signal of the tapes’ importance, the U.S. District Court jurors asked several times to rehear some of the recordings before convicting Rajaratnam of all 14 counts: five of conspiracy and nine of securities fraud. Rajaratnam could be heard wheeling and dealing with corrupt executives and consultants — in one case demanding “radio silence� on information that could affect a stock price.

quarters to view graphic photos of Osama bin Laden’s corpse. But the American people might have to wait decades to see images of the al-Qaida leader who was killed in Pakistan by Navy SEALs during a daring middle-of-the-night raid. The CIA is allowing members of the House and Senate Intelligence and Armed Services committees to see the photos in a secure room at the agency’s headquarters in Langley, Va., a CIA spokeswoman said yesterday. Lawmakers cannot take copies of the photos with them. The disclosure that the Obama administration was keeping the photos at CIA headquarters could have important legal implications. The Associated Press and others have requested copies of the photos and other materials under the Freedom of Information Act, which applies to the CIA but not to the White House. Legal experts initially wondered whether the White House would act as custodian of the photos and other records to keep the information from becoming public through the open records law.

Cabinet agencies, doubling down on cuts to domestic programs just weeks after a split-the-differences bargain with President Barack Obama. The moves by the powerful lawmakers atop the House Appropriations Committee are the first concrete steps to try to implement a tight-fisted 2012 budget plan approved by Republicans’ last month. It would build on $38 billion in savings enacted in a hard-fought agreement with Obama over the current year’s budget. The $30 billion in savings from agency operating budgets that have to be annually approved by Congress seems small compared to deficits that could top $1.6 trillion this year. But they’re actually a key building block in eventually wrestling the deficit under control, assuming Congress can make the cuts now and stick with them year after year in the face of inflation.

Rapper causes stir with White House invite

Michelle Obama’s evening of poetry at the White House set off Republican critics before the artists had uttered a word. The first lady invited prominent writers, musicians and a rapper to perform yesterday evening to showcase the impact of poetry on American culture. Poetry, she said at an afternoon workshop, “helps us see the world in an entirely different way.� It was the inclusion of Grammy Awardwinning rapper and actor Common that set off Republican complaints. Common,

The Donald backs torture of terrorists

Potential presidential hopeful Donald Trump said Wednesday that if torture helped lead U.S. intelligence officials to Osama bin Laden, he’s all for it. In the days since bin Laden was killed in Pakistan, officials have sidestepped questions about whether waterboarding and other so-called enhanced interrogation of detainees had produced information that led to the raid. “We’re so politically correct, nobody wants to say the word, but isn’t another word for that torture? You know what? The people I watched jump off the World Trade Center, that was torture,� Trump said at a business expo luncheon. “In terms of torture, in terms of enhanced interrogation, we wouldn’t have caught bin Laden without it.�

Norma Zimmer, TV’s ‘Champagne Lady,’ dies at 87

Norma Zimmer, the “Champagne Lady� of TV’s “The Lawrence Welk Show� and a studio singer who worked with Frank Sinatra and other pop stars, has died. She was 87. Zimmer died peacefully Tuesday at her Brea, Calif., home, Welk’s son, Larry, said yesterday. Larry Welk didn’t know the cause of death but said Zimmer had been living an active life in recent years. “She was one of the most gracious, likable people that anyone could ever meet. The other people on the show, to this day, just respect and love her,� Larry Welk said. Zimmer performed on Welk’s network and later syndicated show from 1960 to 1982 as the “Champagne Lady,� the title Welk traditionally gave to his orchestra’s lead female singer. Zimmer sang solos, duets with Jimmy Roberts and waltzed with Welk to the strains of his effervescent dance tunes tagged “champagne music.� —Update stories, unless otherwise cited, appear courtesy The Associated Press

SPORTS Mets-Rockies game postponed by rain, snow

Limping out of the clubhouse yesterday morning, Dexter Fowler was headed straight home to recline on the couch and ice his bruised left knee. This unexpected day off couldn’t have come at a better time for the Colorado Rockies center fielder. Fowler left the game Tuesday night after fouling a pitch off his kneecap. He was sore and smarting as he arrived at the ballpark. But Mother Nature did him a big favor. With a snow and rain mix falling in the area, the game between the New York Mets and Rockies was scrubbed. It will be made up Thursday at 3:10 p.m. This postponement and Oakland’s washout at Texas raised the major league total this year to 21 — matching last year’s big league total. “Crazy weather,” Fowler said. “I’d rather play, but it gives me another day. All I’m going to do is sleep and ice this knee. That’s it.” The Mets could definitely use another day to rest and recover as well. First baseman Ike Davis was scheduled to fly to New York yesterday to be examined by team physicians after leaving in the fifth inning the night before with a strained left calf. Davis was dinged when he stumbled over third baseman David Wright’s foot as the two closed in on a popup by the Rockies’ Troy Tulowitzki. “We didn’t really collide that hard — I think I just rolled my ankle or something. At the time there was a lot of pain everywhere,” Davis said after New York’s 4-3 win that included a nearly hour-long rain delay. “I actually don’t think it’s going to be that long.” The busiest person on this deserted day at the park may have been Rockies head athletic trainer Keith Dugger. He checked in on Fowler, saying the speedy outfielder was “a little better.” Dugger also gave an update on righty Jason Hammel, who took a comebacker off his left calf Tuesday.

Jackson leaving on low note as Lakers swept away

The fun is over for Phil Jackson and his five kids. They’ve spent the last 20-plus years treating the NBA playoffs like a private party, according to their dad. So with Jackson retiring after this postseason, and with his Los Angeles Lakers on the brink of elimination, four of them flew to Dallas for Game 4 of a second-round series against the Mavericks. Decked out in yellow hats with Roman numerals marking Jackson’s 10th and 11th championships, hoping he could somehow pull out No. 12, they instead witnessed perhaps the worst game of his playoff career — an ugly blowout loss to the Mavericks, completing Dallas’ sweep. Jason Terry tied a playoff record with nine 3-pointers and the Mavs advanced to the Western Conference finals with a 122-86 victory Sunday that ended the Lakers’ run toward a third straight NBA championship. “It felt good tonight, but we know we’re only halfway home,” center Tyson Chandler said. “We’ve got eight wins, but we need eight more. That’s our ultimate goal.” Jackson knows that better than anyone. A Hall of Famer since 2007, he leaves with a record 11 titles, and only 10 series losses. Take away Red Auerbach, who won nine championships, and Jackson won more titles than any two coaches combined. He won six championships with Michael Jordan, three with Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal, and the last two with Bryant leading the way. The 65-year-old Zen Master had to be talked into coming back this year. He was lured by the chase for a 12th title, bundled neatly as four three-peats, but he

knew it would be tough with a team worn down by three straight years of playing into mid-June. “(That) puts a lot of strain on the basketball club from all angles: personalities, spiritually, physically, emotionally, and getting charged up for game after game and assault after assault when you go in and play a team,” Jackson said. “It was a challenge bigger than we could beat this year.” Jackson has retired before, only to come back. This time, he said he means it. “In all my hopes and aspirations, this is the final game that I’ll coach,” he said. “It’s been a wonderful run.” Assistant Brian Shaw, a former Lakers player, is considered a front-runner to take over. The bigger decisions for general manager Mitch Kupchak will be how to surround Bryant. He may want a younger point guard than Derek Fisher, who turns 37 before next season, and he may consider breaking up his tandem of 7-footers, Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol. “We all know they always come back and get themselves back in the race,” Jackson said. “The Lakers are going to survive.” “Just a little bruised up,” Dugger said.

Avs sign Hejduk

The Colorado Avalanche signed forward Milan Hejduk, one of the top scorers in franchise history, to a one-year contract yesterday. Hejduk, 35, scored 22 goals and had 56 points last season, his 12th with the Avalanche. He tied Joe Sakic’s franchise record by scoring 20 or more goals for the 11th straight season. The Czech Republic native entertained thoughts of possibly calling it a career after the 2010-11 season. But now he’s eager to return for another go-round following a frustrating year in which the Avalanche won their fewest games (30) and tallied their fewest points in the standings (68) since relocating from Quebec to Denver in 1995. “It was a bad season last year, but I think this team has quite a potential if everybody gets healthy.

Golfers, family gather for Ballesteros funeral

To the mournful wail of a lone bagpipe, some of Europe’s greatest golfers joined family, friends and local residents yesterday at the funeral of Seve Ballesteros, paying an emotional final tribute to the dynamic Spaniard who revived the European game. Ryder Cup captains Nick Faldo, Colin Montgomerie, Ian Woosnam, Sam Torrance and Jose Maria Olazabal and players including Miguel Angel Jimenez marched together in silence as part of the procession from Ballesteros’ family home to the church of San Pedro de Pedrena. Young boys and girls wore replicas of the navy blue outfit that Ballesteros wore for his first British Open win in 1979. They each held a 3-iron, the only club Ballesteros owned when he learned to play golf. About 400 people packed the church to provide Ballesteros with one final sendoff before his ashes were spread under a magnolia tree at the family home in this tiny fishing village in northern Spain. Ballesteros, a five-time major winner and Ryder Cup stalwart, died Saturday at age 54 from complications of a cancerous brain tumor. “He was so young and such a great

man. A great champion — the best Europe ever had,� Torrance said. Ballesteros’ oldest son, Javier, carried the urn holding the Spanish golf great’s ashes at the front of the procession, with the somber notes of a single bagpipe punctuating the occasion on an overcast day in the village off the Bay of Santander. The crowd of up to 1,000 gathered outside the church burst into applause as Ballesteros’ ashes reached the church. Locals, friends and others watched from one of the three giant screens set up outside. “With hard work he went from nothing to everything, realizing his dream to be the best and to be in the heart of the people,� said nephew Ivan Ballesteros, who was flanked by the golfer’s sons Javier and Miguel on the church altar. “In the end he decided when and where it ended. Rest my friend, rest Seve.� Relatives inside the church wept and embraced, and so did friends and Pedrena residents watching outside after applauding heartily. “It’s not a goodbye — we know you’ll always be here by our side,� Ballesteros’ son Miguel said. Ballesteros’ brother Vicente picked up the urn — which had been set above two golf clubs and a golf ball at the foot of the altar — and carried it out of the church back to the family home, where a private family ceremony was held before the ashes were placed under the magnolia tree overlooking the nearby Real Club de Golf Pedrena course where his career began.

QB Kordell Stewart arrested near Atlanta

Authorities say former NFL quarterback and ESPN analyst Kordell Stewart has been charged with driving with a suspended license and speeding. Fulton County sheriff’s spokeswoman Tracy Flanagan said Stewart was booked into jail in the Atlanta suburb of Alpharetta Wednesday and freed on $3,000 bond about four hours later. Stewart is scheduled to appear in court July 12. It wasn’t immediately known whether he has an attorney. The Louisiana native played in the NFL for 11 seasons. He played eight with the Pittsburgh Steelers from 1995 through 2002. He also played for the Chicago Bears and the Baltimore Ravens. In college, he played for Colorado. ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz said the network had just learned about the incident and was looking into it.

it’s going to be a different story. I’m still pretty positive for next year,� Hejduk said in a conference call. “It was always my intention to play for the Avalanche as long as I can and as long as they’re interested.� The Denver Post reported the deal was worth $2.6 million with incentives that could push it to $3 million, which is what he made last season. Hejduk is one of the team’s most prolific scorers, ranking fourth in franchise history in goals (357) and points (757). “Milan has been a big part of our organization throughout the past 12 seasons,� Avalanche general manager Greg Sherman said. “He’s been one of the top goal scorers in the NHL over the last decade and we look forward to having him back.� With longtime defenseman Adam Foote’s retirement, Hejduk becomes the elder statesman on a squad filled with youngsters. “There’s nobody near my age group,� Hejduk said, chuckling. A three-time Olympian, Hejduk won a gold medal with the Czech Republic at the 1998 Winter Games in Nagano, Japan, and a bronze medal at the 2006 Olympics in Torino, Italy.

SOCCER

––––--––––------------------

struggled to get solid strikes on the ball with the slippery top coat of snow on the field, Samuels stepped into a pass from her teammate ripping a shot into the back of the net to get the Gore Rangers on the scoreboard and tie the game up at one a piece. After some good solid play between the teams, the half came to an end with the game knotted up at 1-1. In a scene reminiscent of a Zamboni cleaning a hockey rink, VMS brought out their tractor and cleaned up the field as best as they could to help improve the playing conditions. With the second half about to begin, the boisterous home team fans were making their way back to the field after finding shelter during the halftime, and just as they were getting back to the stands, it was the lady Lions Shelby Raper taking the opening second half possession down the field for a quick score not even

a minute into play giving LPHS a 2-1 advantage. The Gore Rangers didn’t let the fast score discourage them, as they played hard for every minute of the game, threatening with multiple scoring attempts throughout the final half of play. VMS teammates, Misha Harrison and Maggie Sherman, were both close to evening the game up as their scoring attempts just missed, including a rocket shot that was turned away by the Lady Lions goalie and an unlucky 25-yard ripper just missing the lower ninety area of the goal and instead ricocheted off the left post. Unfortunately for the Gore Rangers, Lutheran-Parker added two late scores making a comeback impossible for the Vail Mountain School girls, and with it ending the tremendous season of VMS by a final score of 4-1.

––––––––----------------------

cial live audition in Denver this February. For an audience of Bolshoi instructors, she earned a place at the New York intensive. “From Vail, Colorado? In dance? Think about it,” emphasized Anne Powell, Haley’s ballet teacher at Vail Valley Academy of Dance. “If it was a skier, no big deal. But this is big. Just to be a candidate was an honor.” Powell has worked with Haley since she began ballet lessons at the age of four, and descriptors like “role model,” “exemplary,” and “positive” easily fall off her tongue. “Haley is one of those young ladies with tremendous drive,” Powell said. “When people like Haley go to Bolshoi, it broadens their horizons. We’re in a very tiny valley. These experiences grow them as people and dancers.” After the audition in Denver, Haley began the academic application, which included several essays, teacher recommendations, and school transcripts. The New York-based Russian American Foundation is largely responsible for guiding students to the Bolshoi programs. Officials at the RAF won’t give an exact number of applicants, but they claim it is easily double what they saw in 2010. “The interest this year was amazing,” said Anna Dameniuk, the director of youth programs for RAF. “The program is only two years old, and we were amazed at how many more people applied. We selected the best of the best from a national pool, and Haley fits into that group.” Even now, when it would be easy to

celebrate, Haley’s agenda is fully loaded. Aside from her first round of finals as a freshman at Battle Mountain High School, there are countless visa applications, medical forms, academy papers, itineraries, and mounds of other paperwork to be completed. Thankfully, a freshly minted passport -- the first she has ever owned -- is firmly in hand, ready for its inaugural stamp when she arrives in Moscow on July 16. But a hop across the Atlantic is hardly on Haley’s mind. Tomorrow and Saturday she has recitals with the Vail Youth Ballet Company, a troupe of 17 girls she has been with for over five years -- her final performances before leaving the U.S. She was unable to talk yesterday evening, thanks to a rehearsal at the Vilar Center that started shortly after 4 p.m. and went well past 9 p.m. “I don’t think it has quite hit her yet,” said Susie, who first read the acceptance notice on April 29. When she sent a text to Haley with the news, her daughter thought it was a joke. Several messages later, it finally hit. In short, Haley Hervert’s life is hectic. Yet those around her believe she can handle each portion and, more likely than not, do so with grace and verve. After all, when she returns from Russia on August 27, her sophomore year is just days away. “Dancers who take ballet make a major commitment,” Susie said. “All of them live up to a demanding schedule. It’s kind of cool a kid from Vail made it.”
