Tracy Straus and a handful of Celebrate The Beat dance instructors have the undivided attention of 120 kids, which explains why they speak clearly and succinctly. You don’t have their attention for long. Tonight, 120 Celebrate the Beat kids are the opening act for the Vail International Dance Festival performance. Watching them, you understand that Ron “Prime Tyme” Myles started like this. In fact, Myles will be surrounded by Celebraters when they take center stage in the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater. “What you’re about to experience will blow your mind,” said Tracy Straus.

CRISPY FINGERS At Thursday’s rehearsal, one kid was wearing a T-shirt reading, “Don’t forget to be awesome!” These kids don’t need to be reminded. They are. They exude enough energy to power a medium-sized industrial nation. They also have crispy fingers. If you’re a dancer, then that’s a good thing. Hayden is the crispy finger kid, even with his broken arm. These kids learn all kinds of wonderful stuff, such as never give up. Ever. “If you make a hoo hoo, keep going,” Straus said. It’s pretty amazing that they can get 120 kids doing the same thing at the same time. It’s even more amazing that they can get 120 kids to stop doing it and be quiet by rhythmically clapping their hands. The real miracle, though, is that

No health insurance cost relief seen in study Price, not limited population, drive insurance costs
of Insurance reported. “It should not come as a shock to anyone in Eagle, Pitkin, Garfield or Summit counties,” said Bethe Wright, who owns and operates Wright Insurance.
By Randy Wyrick rwyrick@vaildaily.com
HOW THIS STARTED
DENVER — The high price of High Country healthcare is driving insurance costs, not the number of people in the pool. State lawmakers ordered the Colorado Division of Insurance to determine if lumping all of Colorado into a single rating area would lower insurance prices in Western Colorado. It won’t, the agency reported this week. While some believed that the lack of population in the High Country made our insurance pools more expensive, that’s not what the study determined. It’s not the number of people, it’s the high price of care. “Moving to a single geographic rating area will have no impact on healthcare costs, and without tackling these costs, there is little hope of bringing down health insurance premiums,” The Division
When the Democratic-controlled Congress in 2010 passed the federal Affordable Care Act and President Obama signed it, the bill mandated that rates be set according to geographic areas. That system led to Eagle, Garfield, Pitkin and Summit counties having the nation’s highest health insurance rates. The four counties were lumped in with most of Western Colorado, which stabilized this region’s health insurance costs, but raised costs in the rest of Western Colorado. Our health insurance costs are still the highest in Colorado at $5,532 per member. That’s 36 percent higher than Boulder’s $4,073, the state’s lowest cost. There are more health insurance options on the Front Range, and that’s a big part of

the reason why their rates are lower, Wright said. Going to a single rating area could actually result in some insurance carriers leaving the state, the study said. That would only drive costs higher. A single geographic rating area could end up harming the very citizens it is trying to help, Colorado Insurance Commissioner Marguerite Salazar, said. “People in the mountain areas could be facing even higher premiums, or could be left without any insurance options,” Salazar said. “A move to a single geographic rating area would be an attempt to treat a symptom rather than finding a cure.”

THE PURPOSE OF GEOGRAPHIC AREAS Colorado is divided into nine geographic areas for individual and small group health insurance. Health insurance companies can differentiate their premiums between the geographic areas. The Affordable Care Act required states to create geographic areas, recognizing that different areas had different providers, healthcare costs and patterns. Each area HIGH COUNTRY, HIGH COST The Division of Insurance research took into account four areas of healthcare costs: inpatient admissions, outpatient visits, professional visits and prescriptions. Western Colorado had the

ABOUT THE STUDY The study was the result of House Bill 1336, passed in the most recent session of the Colorado Legislature. The study was conducted by the actuarial firm Lewis & Ellis, Inc. Data from the Colorado All Payer Claims Database for all of 2014 and part of 2015 was used, as well as data from the rate filings from carriers, as given to the Colorado Division of Insurance, for 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017.

EAGLE COUNTY — The Colorado Department of Transportation has announced rescheduled daytime, closures for Interstate 70 through Glenwood Canyon. The new dates are Wednesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The highway will be closed to all traffic. The Glenwood Canyon closure is necessary for continued rockfall safety work using a helicopter at mile point 124.2, just west of the Hanging Lake Tunnel. During these operations, the eastbound closure point is at Exit 116 (Glenwood Springs) and the westbound closure point is at Exit 133 (Dotsero). The Colorado State Patrol will assist with traffic mitigation and all vehicles must exit. Queuing will not be allowed. The Glenwood Canyon bike bath will remain open for recreational use, however, flaggers will be posted on the path closer to the rockfall site for traffic control during the helicopter picks. July’s helicopter operations were postponed due to downward wind drafts and challenges with rotor wash against the steep slope, which prevented any posts and fencing to be set. “After careful consideration, we decided to use a larger helicopter with a longer line to better ensure a successful operation,” said Mike Fowler, project engineer with SGM. Fowler added that part of the task includes using the helicopter to pick, or lift, posts weighing more than 1,000 pounds to the rockfall site then inserting them in designated slots to prepare for fencing. “This is a time sensitive, technical process that requires precision,” Fowler added. The contractor will set all 13 posts Wednesday. Helicopter operations Thursday include flying support materials to the site, project manager Jim Stepisnik said. As soon as the posts are set, crews will secure the posts and get them ready to hold protective fencing. “We understand the impact these closures pose to motorists and we thank you for your patience and understanding as we work diligently to complete the work,” Colorado Department of Transportation Region 3 Communications Manager Tracy
Trulove said. “However, we again urge travelers to plan ahead and schedule to drive through the Glenwood Canyon before 9 a.m. or wait until the canyon is reopened at 3:30 p.m. and anticipate heavy traffic at the beginning and end points an hour before and two hours after reopening due to vehicle congestion.”
ALTERNATE ROUTES ■ Eastbound motorists: Exit 116 to State Highway 82 (Aspen/ Independence Pass) to U.S. Highway 24 (Buena Vista) to State Highway 91 (Copper Mountain/Leadville) to Eastbound I-70. This route is only for vehicles under 35 feet in length. This route is very scenic and approximately 40 miles longer. Independence Pass has a vehicle length restriction in place of 35 feet. ■ Westbound motorists At Exit 195, take State Highway 91 to U.S. Highway 24 toward Buena Vista, then north on State Highway 82 (Independence Pass/Aspen) to Glenwood Springs. This route is recommended only for vehicles under 35 feet in length. ■ From the Front Range, take U.S. Highway 40 from Exit 232 (Empire), or State Highway 9 (Silverthorne) to U.S. Highway 40 through Steamboat Springs, west to Craig, then south on State Highway 13 to Rifle and back to I-70. ■ From Eagle County, take State Highway 131 (Wolcott) to Steamboat Springs, west on U.S. Highway 40 to Craig, then south on State Highway 13 to Rifle and back to I-70. This detour adds 146 miles and about three hours to a regular trip from Wolcott to Rifle on I-70. ■ South alternate route (west of Grand Junction or east of Vail) Use U.S. Highway 50. Access to that highway is available via Grand Junction for eastbound drivers and for westbound drivers by way of U.S. Highway 24/285 through the Salida area from the Front Range.
COMMERCIAL VEHICLES ■ Truck parking is available at Exit 133 (Dotsero). The following width restrictions are in place on several of the alternate routes: ■ State Highway 131 — eight-foot width restriction. ■ State Highway 9 north of I-70 — 12foot width restriction.

On behalf of the students, staff and executive board at the Family Learning Center in Edwards, we would like to offer a very hearty “thank you” to the donors and participants that made the 14th annual Barbara Treat Memorial Golf Tournament an enormous success. The Family Learning Center is a not-forprofit organization that relies on monetary contributions from community members, awarded grants, and proceeds from the tournament to keep the lights on and the staff ’s positivity flowing. This annual fundraiser goes a long way in supporting our belief that all children deserve access to a great start in learning and in life. Our caring, certified teachers bring experience and passion to each classroom while setting children up for a successful transition from preschool to elementary school. Barbara Treat was a champion of early childhood education; her legacy continues to grow with every donation, sponsorship and volunteer opportunity that benefits the children of the Family Learning Center. The festivities for the 14th annual golf tournament began last Tuesday night at the breathtaking Walden House in Lake Creek. Over 100 Family Learning Center supporters gathered for an evening of fellowship and fun. Those in attendance sipped wine and were busy bidding on a long list of silent auction items that ranged from restaurant and spa gift certificates to fly fishing trips and rounds of golf at some of the county’s most exclusive courses. When the live auction began, many guests had their eyes on winning First Light/First Tracks for eight on Vail or Beaver Creek Mountain, hosting dinner parties with the help of local, established chefs and a fabulous four-night stay in a two-bedroom ocean view suite at stunning Atlantis that included airfare. The charitable giving was not over once the live auction ended, however, as a guest decided the pond deserved a swimmer if those in attendance were able to
In Colorado and throughout the West, we have seen increases in devastating wildfires that are damaging property and habitats and resulting in the tragic loss of life. Most recently the Hayden Pass fire burning near Coaldale scorched more than 16,000 acres, the Beaver Creek Fire continues to burn growing past 30,000 acres, and the Cold Springs Fire in Boulder County destroyed eight homes. As temperatures continue to rise and dry conditions persist, it is likely that we will continue to Michael Bennet face catastrophic wildMy View fires. Fortunately, unlike other natural disasters like hurricanes or earthquakes, there are proven mitigation efforts that can lessen the severity of wildfires. That’s why in July we introduced The Wildfire Mitigation Assistance Act, with Republican Senators Mike Crapo and Jim Risch from Idaho and Democratic Senator John Tester from Montana, to provide more funding to mitigate the severity and the effects of wildfires. Our bill would treat wildfires in the same manner as other natural disasters by allowing Hazard Mitigation Assistance funding — federal funding provided to help communities implement measures after a disaster to reduce risks of future disasters — to be provided to states affected by catastrophic wildfires. Currently, Hazard Mitigation Assistance funding can only be provided to states after the president declares a major disaster. However, unlike in the case of floods, tornadoes, or other disasters, wildfires usually do not receive a major disaster declaration. Instead funding to fight wildfires comes from Fire Management Assistance Grants, and this funding is only available while the fire is actively burning. This means that funding is not provided for mitigation efforts to protect homes from the next wildfire or prevent postfire flooding and erosion — despite the fact that such work is critical. This is a problem because while we can’t reduce the strength of an impending hurricane, mitigation efforts are actually proven to reduce the costs, severity and long-term effects of wildfires on communities, properties and watersheds. For example, we know that for every dollar we spend on mitigation efforts like reducing fuel loads, there is an average savings of $4. The importance of investing in fire mitigation efforts is also something we have heard about from firefighters, forestry experts, local officials, researchers and community members across the state. Last year, we held a Fire and Forestry Summit in Colorado Springs with Sen. Gardner to hear recommendations from Coloradans with real-world, hands-on experience. Their report focused on increasing education, outreach and investment in wildfire prevention work. That’s also why we have continued to fight in Congress to end fire

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Email issues The Disingenuosity Of The Week award goes to Rohn Robbins for his column “Mr. Trump, hacking is a crime” (July 29 Vail Daily). It’s about Donald Trump’s suggestion that the press would thank the Russian government if it could produce the 30,000 emails that were deleted from Hillary Clinton’s personal server. Robbins started off mentioning the hack of the Democratic National Committee server that is currently in the news. It appears to have happened in the past few months. He then leaps over to the 30,000 emails Hillary Clinton had deleted from her personal server, before turning it over to the FBI. Like a number of others, Robbins claims Trump’s remark amounts to encouraging a crime. He even muttered darkly about treason. There are two problems with these claims. First, in either case, the missing emails have already been hacked, if it happened at all. So Trump wasn’t inciting someone to hack in the future. And, second, Hillary Clinton claims her deleted emails involved purely personal matters — her daughter’s wedding, yoga classes, etc. How could this constitute theft of vital political information? Hillary didn’t just click on the “delete” button; the server was cleaned so thoroughly that even the FBI’s experts couldn’t recover many of them. We have to ask — why was so much trouble taken over such mundane content? Which leads to the question: Do you believe Hillary Clinton about what was in the emails she deleted? FBI Director James Comey testified that she was not truthful in her statements about her emails. This is what could be going on — Robbins and Co. may be trying to deflect attention from the real issue, which is whether some those deleted emails deal with embarrassing matters like the Clinton Foundation’s activities and funding from foreign governments and commercial interests. And exorbitant speech fees. Pay for play. Or Bill Clinton’s latest amorous adventures. Or getting the Democratic National Committee to undermine Bernie Sanders’ campaign, which just came to light. Who knows? What would happen if the deleted emails were submitted to the court of public opinion? Before the election.
Lest anyone make the charge — I am not a Donald Trump supporter. He is bad, but Hillary is worse. Don’t blame me for the choices; I supported Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and Dr. Ben Carson. Terry Quinn Eagle

COMMENTARY provide a significant spike to the fundraising efforts that evening. Once the figures were met, the guest happily shed any inhibitions and showed everyone in attendance his best strokes. A special thanks is also in order to everyone at Cordillera Valley Club, the generous host of the Barbara Treat Memorial Golf Tournament this year. Golfers were impressed by the pristine and well manicured conditions of the course while being challenged with the picturesque features of each hole. Charles Hays, chef and co-owner of Vin 48 Restaurant and Wine Bar in Avon, told me that he looks forward to this event every year. “Being able to play at this magnificent course while helping such a worthwhile cause as Family Learning Center really speaks volumes about how important it is for our community to care about early childhood education.”

LOCAL & REGION Three arrested after car theft and chase Daily staff report newsroom@vaildaily.com
EAGLE COUNTY — Three men from Ohio were arrested and jailed Thursday morning after allegedly stealing a car in Edwards, then leading police on a chase that ended in Eagle. At 8:22 a.m. Thursday, the Eagle County Sheriff ’s Office received report of a stolen vehicle near Interstate 70 in Edwards. The reporting party stated that the vehicle had just been stolen from the Wendy’s in Edwards and was seen heading westbound onto I-70. Deputies caught up with the vehicle on I-70 near Wolcott and gave chase. The suspect vehicle exited at Eagle, lost control and crashed into a guard rail, immobilizing the vehicle. The suspect vehicle was occupied by three males from Ohio. The Sheriff ’s Office, in cooperation with other local law enforcement agencies, is investigating another stolen vehicle from Ohio that had been abandoned locally prior to taking the Edwards vehicle. The males are being detained at the Eagle County Detentions center for aggravated motor vehicle theft, reckless endangerment, vehicular eluding and careless driving. Other charges may be pending. Arrested in the incident were: ■ Jesse James Ambrogi, 36. ■ Joshua Adam Barney, 31. ■ Jeremy O. Rogers-Stemen, 29. The Eagle County Sheriff ’s Office in a release acknowledged the assistance and cooperation of other law enforcement agencies and first responders who assisted in the swift, safe apprehension of the suspects and controlling the scene of the crash. The release also included a reminder to the community about the risks of leaving your vehicle running and unattended. Always lock your vehicle and take your keys with you.

really are that much more expensive in the High Country than they are in other areas of the state,” said state Sen. Kerry Donovan, D-Vail. “Now, no one can dispute that fact.” As part of the legislative package, Gov. John Hickenlooper appointed a commission to come up with possible solutions, and to present them in December, just before the state legislature convenes in January. “We all know things cost more in the mountains. But are our healthcare prices justified to be that much higher?” Donovan asked. Among the commission’s early ideas: ■ Possible subsidies for people who are caught between health care costs and salaries that won’t pay those costs. ■ Establishing a range of prices for what could be charged for procedures, instead of letting geography be the

determining factor. ■ Transparency that would enable consumers to look up what procedures cost in different locations. “We turned around the study in a matter of months, and we’ll turn around the first set of solutions by the end of the year,” Donovan said. Donovan said those seeking changes to the system hope to make some difference by 2018. Since Obamacare became the law of the land, there have been numerous stories that skyrocketing rates are forcing some people to pay more for health insurance than their mortgages. “These can no longer be dismissed as unique, one-off examples,” Donovan said. “This study shows it’s a reality for many, many of our neighbors.” Staff Writer Randy Wyrick can be reached at 970-748-2935 and rwyrick@vaildaily. com.

Who will run Vail welcome centers? By Scott N. Miller smiller@vaildaily.com
Board: Vail Town Council, Tuesday afternoon and evening meetings. Present: Kevin Foley, Greg Moffet, Kim Langmaid, Jen Mason, Dick Cleveland, Mayor Dave Chapin. Issue: Choosing an operator for the welcome centers in the Vail Village and Lionshead Village parking structures. Who they talked to: Colorado Activity Centers, Inc., Donovan Pavilion Management, Inc. and Vail Info Inc., the current operator. What they did: All three companies gave presentations in the afternoon and discussed either how they’d run the centers, or, in the case of Vail Info, how the centers are now being operated. Those interviews took a full 90 minutes. What happened: During the evening meeting, council members were split 3-3 about whether to award a oneyear contract — with a one- or two-year renewal option — to either the current operators or Donovan Pavilion Management. What’s next: Awarding the contract with a tie-breaking vote is probably on the shoulders of council member Jenn Bruno, who was absent Tuesday. Issue: First reading of ordinance 19, which would ban most vehicle booting in town. How they voted: 4-2 for approval, with Foley and Cleveland opposed. What they talked about: Council member Greg Moffet made the first arguments for this ordinance, claiming that many people in town are having their vehicles improperly booted. On the other hand, Evergreen Lodge General Manager Brian Butts said booting at that hotel is a way to keep more parking available for guests. What’s next: Town Attorney Matt Mire will make some changes to the ordinance before its second reading.

Businesses, Bogeys golf tourney returns Daily staff report newsroom@vaildaily.com
VAIL — The Vail Recreation District and Vail Chamber & Business Association will host the third annual Businesses, Bogeys and Bragging Rights community golf tournament on Sept. 15 at the Vail Golf Club to benefit the recreation district’s Tom Slaughter Jr. Memorial Youth Recreation Grant. The grant program, a memorial to Vail Valley resident Tom Slaughter, Jr., who enjoyed endless recreational opportunities in the valley, is used to award funds to schoolaged children who are in need of financial support to participate in district youth programs. The recreation district is partnering with the Vail Chamber for the tournament as an opportunity to bring the community together for a day of golf, celebrate a successful summer and contribute to the development of the Vail Valley’s youth. The grant program began in 1997 and provides youth with opportunities to participate in district day and sport camps, gymnastics, golf, basketball and other programs in Vail. Each year, the district awards approximately $20,000 in cash and in-kind services to children in Eagle County through its Eagle County Youth Activities Grant and the Tom Slaughter, Jr. Memorial Grant programs. Last year’s tournament hosted 20 teams and raised an additional $10,734, more than $4,000 more than in 2014, to be used this year and in future years. “Last year’s tournament was incredibly successful and showed how the local community can come together for a great cause,” Vail Recreation District Executive Director Mike Ortiz said. “We pride ourselves in providing amazing learning opportunities for the young and young at heart.

From page A2 aspect of their lives.” They also learn a little about how to compartmentalize. “If they’re having a bad day, they learn to leave it outside when they walk through those doors, to put everything else out of their minds,” Straus said. Every kid can do it, Straus said. “We never give up on them,” she said. Kids rotate from back to front during different rehearsals, so every kid gets to be in charge. They carry that back into their classrooms with the attitude that if they can be in charge of dozens of dancers, then they can assert themselves in a classrooms. “Classroom teachers constantly tell us about quiet shy students who emerge as leaders,” Straus said.
NINE YEARS, THOUSANDS OF KIDS Celebrate the Beat showed up here nine years ago when the Aspen Santa Fe Ballet
hired Straus to launch an outreach program in Colorado’s underserved schools. When it comes to the arts, that referred to most Colorado schools. Straus is the former associate artistic director of the National Dance Institute in New York City. They started with 120 Roaring Fork Valley kids in five schools. They’re up to 4,000 kids in 25 U.S. schools and seven schools in Mexico schools. Celebrate the Beat classes are in schools throughout the day. “That reinforces that the arts are as important as any other subject,” Straus said. It’s for kids ages 5-12 from both genders, who are taught by professional instructors. Colleen MacComber runs the Mexico program. That means she teaches kids to dance in Colorado and Nayarit, Mexico where, if MacComber’s T-shirt is correct, it’s called “Celebrando el Ritmo.” Staff Writer Randy Wyrick can be reached at 970-748-2935 or rwyrick@vaildaily.com.

When you think of a library, you usually think of a place where you need to be quiet, but when the Bravo! Vail Music Festival comes to town, the library is anything but silent. We checked out the Little Listeners program at the Vail Public Library and were treated to the sounds of not only the Qwinda Woodwind Quintet, but also the sounds of kids playing a mini violin for the first time or making Tricia Swenson noise via a clarinet. These kids, whose ages range beOff the Hill tween 3 and 7 years old, were having a ball experiencing music in this new way, and parents and other spectators were delighted with the actions and reactions of the kids and these instruments. During the Bravo! Vail Music Festival, various artists take time out of their busy schedules to visit the libraries throughout the Vail Valley. The Qwinda Woodwind Quintet had just wrapped up a free performance at the Vail Chapel and then packed up their instruments and made their way to the Vail Library. The Quintet consisted of a flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon and a French horn. The members had a lot of fun sharing the particular noises that their instruments could produce with the kids, making them laugh when they would play tunes that sounded jovial and cartoon-like (think “Pink Panther”) and then eliciting a little fear when they played something more ominous-sounding (think the “Jaws” theme song). This program is free to the public and has been a favorite activity for local families and those visiting the area. Who knows, this early introduction to the instruments that make these sounds may be the spark that ignites a love for music or a passion to play and maybe one day perform on stage like the Bravo! Vail musicians. Take a look at today’s video of the Little Listeners at www.vaildaily.com and don’t forget, “Inuksuit” is a free event with 66 percussionists playing in the woods at Maloit Park on Saturday at 2 p.m.

Time for the solution Imagine being invited to a party and then walking into an empty room. No decorations, no music, no cake, no energy or excitement in the air. It certainly wouldn’t feel as though it was going to be fun, or that someone even cared enough to get things ready. In fact, you may even wonder if you’re in the right place. The room with the nonexistent party is analogous to our future unless we proactively address the afChris Romer fordable housing issue Vail Valley in Eagle County. This Partnership needs to be done in a thoughtful, pragmatic manner with a recognition of the importance of affordable housing on providing not only a great vacation experience for our visitors, but a foundation of workforce for our business community across industry sectors. The importance of laying the proper groundwork before attempting to solve a problem is emphasized in a popular statement that is usually attributed to the scientific luminary Albert Einstein: “If I had only one hour to save the world, I would spend fifty-five minutes defining the problem, and only five minutes finding the solution.” The lesson is that it is important to
understand the problem and to review all the variables and root causes before diving into solutions. This framework reminds me of the five Ps of success — proper planning prevents poor performance, and is a good way to remember what is necessary to achieve and complete any project successfully. Let’s apply the five Ps to affordable housing, by far the number one issue facing our business community based on my daily conversations with business owners and managers.
PROPER Regardless of what it is you are doing, there is a proper way to approach and execute the task. There are steps to follow and specific tools you will need in order to complete any project efficiently and skillfully. Regardless of business size, location or industry, business owners and managers indicate that affordable housing is their biggest challenge. Addressing affordable workforce housing is a proper use of community time, effort and funding.
PLANNING A detailed, well thought-out plan is important when starting a task — especially a community-wide effort to tackle a fundamental challenge as large as affordable workforce housing. Thoughtful, detailed planning is important to ensure time and

From page A16 money are not wasted in the process, and to ensure the outcome meets essential community needs. We have successful community models in our neighboring communities, including Pitkin and Summit, and a good awareness of the local housing situation from private and public entities to ensure a good plan is in place to address housing in our community. Our changing demographics of citizens aging in place only exasperate our affordable housing challenge.
A multi-jurisdictional countywide housing effort with proper focus and governance is a good step to avoid poor future community results. PREVENTS As the saying goes, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” We’ve talked about our affordable housing challenges for years and years. It’s time to stop talking and to start acting in order to prevent further paralysis by analysis. We can’t control the high cost of housing caused by the international and domestic demand for housing in our valley; we do have the ability to control our future through a countywide affordable housing program. This can prevent the further decay of our workforce in the prime of their careers and increase the ability of our businesses to expand and grow.
If something is done poorly, why bother? We have successful models and public and private partnerships designed to address workforce housing, such as Miller Ranch, The Riverwalk at Edwards, Eagle River Water and Sanitation District, Vail Resorts, Lions Ridge and successful models in neighboring communities. A multi-jurisdictional countywide housing effort with proper focus and governance is a good step to avoid poor future community results.

PERFORMANCE Staying focused and actively involved with public and private stakeholders, to ensure various voices are heard and the needs of all industries are met, will be key to a housing program that meets our current and future community needs. We need to catch up to current and future demand (more than 11,000 units, per the Eagle County Housing Needs Assessment). Performance of a housing authority will be judged on reducing this number throughout time. For comparison sake, let’s call the past 50 or more years dating back to the development of Vail Mountain in 1962 an hour; it is safe to say Einstein would agree that we’ve spent 55 minutes of our hour defining the problem — and the problem is a lack of affordable housing. Now we’re in crunch time: we have 5 minutes to solve the problem. The five Ps of success should be applied to housing — and show that now is the time to move forward in a meaningful way. The continued success and growth of our community and our small businesses demand it.

AVON — Local entrepreneurs Jeffrey and Martina Chavis, of Servpro, of Summit, Lake, Park and Eagle counties, were recently recognized with the company’s Millionaire’s Gold award for outstanding revenue performance at the 47th annual Servpro Convention. More than 2,800 franchise owners, key staff and corporate representatives attended the convention, which was held at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas from June 26 through 30. “While building a successful small business takes work and dedication,
our success is also a reflection of the support and exceptional disaster remediation solutions and training we receive as a member of the Servpro franchise network,” Jeffrey Chavis said. “We are proud to accept this award on behalf of our business and our employees, and are grateful to Servpro for giving us the tools, framework and training we need to be both successful and a resource to our community when disaster strikes.” The awards event was a highlight of this year’s convention, which was organized around the theme “All In.” The week of workshops and networking was designed to unite franchise
owners, team members, distributors, associates and corporate employees. “Servpro understands running a small business is a challenge,” said Sue Steen, CEO of Servpro Industries. “Our annual convention gives us the opportunity to recognize individual franchisees that have excelled at building their business, as well as enhancing Servpro’s reputation as an industry leader in disaster cleanup, restoration and remediation services.” For more information about Servpro of Summit, Lake, Park and Eagle Counties, call 970-949-3235, email servpro9730@aol.com or go to www.

the consequent volatility in the markets, the S&P 500 was back in positive territory—up over 4 percent for the year. This resilience has kept this bull market going, and we expect the S&P 500 to potentially post gains by the end of the year. Looking ahead to the rest of 2016, we maintain confidence in our existing forecasts, with some minor adjustments. We also anticipate periods of volatility throughout the rest of this year, but we do not expect to enter a bear market or economic recession. Here are some of the key influential factors we’ll be watching for: ■ Federal Reserve rate hikes. We have reduced our forecast for Fed rate hikes in 2016 from two to one, with additional rate increases next year. ■ International growth uncertainty. We are looking for clarity around future global growth, due to Brexit, the impact of the U.S. dollar, China’s debt problem and
earnings growth in Europe and Japan. ■ Corporate America investments. A pickup in economic growth and an energy sector turnaround may boost companies’ investments in their future growth, an element that has been lacking recently. ■ Second half turnarounds: oil, dollar, earnings. These three turnaround stories are key for the rest of 2016. Should the drags from oil prices and the U.S. dollar continue to ease, we expect an earnings rebound may occur in the second half of the year.

Diversification is valuable for retirees During your working years, your primary investment goal is generally growth — you need your money to grow so that you can eventually afford the comfortable retirement lifestyle you’ve envisioned. But when you retire, should you change course and adjust your investment strategy from offense to defense? Actually, it’s not quite that simple. To begin with, even while you are working, you don’t want your portfolio to be completely filled with growth-oriented investments, such as stocks. If it were, you would Chris Murray, Dolly Schaub, likely be taking on a deKevin Brubeck, Charlie gree of investment risk Wick, Bret Hooper, Chuck that’s too high, because, Smallwood and Tina DeWitt as you may know, stocks Financial Focus will fluctuate in price — sometimes significantly. And if you only own stocks, then you could take a big hit during a market downturn.
SPREAD INVESTMENT DOLLARS That’s why you need to have an expansive array of investments — stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit and so on. By spreading your investment dollars in this manner, you create for yourself more opportunities for success while reducing the impact of volatility on your portfolio. Keep in mind, though, that diversification, by itself, can’t guarantee profits or protect against all losses. Now, let’s fast-forward to your retirement date. Once you retire, you may need to look at your investment portfolio somewhat differently — instead of building it up, you may now want to think of making it last. So your first impression might be that instead of maintaining the diversified portfolio you had when you were working, you need to switch to predominantly safe investments, such as certificates of deposit and Treasury bonds, to reduce the risk of losing principal.
A LONGER RETIREMENT And such a strategy might indeed be effective — if your retirement were going to be limited to lasting a year or so. But the chances are reasonably good that you could be retired for two, or possibly even three, decades. If that’s the case, then you will have to deal with a threat to your lifestyle that you might not have considered: inflation. We’ve had low inflation for several years, but that could change in the future. Consider this: Even at a relatively low 3 percent inflation rate, prices double roughly every 25 years. And depending on your personal needs and spending patterns, your personal inflation rate might be even higher. To protect yourself against inflation, you will find that investments such as certificates of deposit and Treasury bonds are typically not much help. In fact, in a low-interest rate environment, your returns on these investments may not even keep up with inflation, much less keep you ahead of it. That’s not to say they have no value – they can provide you with an income stream and help lower your overall investment risk. But to defend your purchasing power, you will still need some growth potential in your investment portfolio during your retirement years. Your exact percentage of stocks and other growth-oriented investments will depend on a variety of factors – your projected longevity, other sources of income, family situation, risk tolerance and so on. You may want to consult with a financial professional to ensure that your portfolio mix is suitable for your needs. Many things may change in your life when you retire — but the need for investment diversification is not one of them.

IOC explores options for banning all Russians Doping allegations loom over team By Stephen Wilson AP Sports Writer
LONDON — With just over two weeks until the opening ceremony, Russia still doesn’t know whether its athletes — all or even some — will be competing in the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. It may all come down to the lawyers. While the IOC decided Tuesday to ban from the Rio Games all Russian Sports Ministry officials and other administrators implicated in allegations of a staterun doping program, it delayed a ruling on whether to take the unprecedented step of barring the entire Russian Olympic team. The International Olympic Committee said it “will explore the legal options with regard to a collective ban of all Russian athletes for the Olympic Games 2016 versus the rights to individual justice.” The IOC has also said it could let individual international sports federations decide on whether to ban Russians from their events in Rio, just as the IAAF has done by ruling track and field athletes from the games. The 28 international federations that govern the individual sports at the summer games have made clear that they do not support a blanket ban. The IOC’s legal options may

People pass a display with mannequins dressed in a Russian Olympic National Team uniforms in Moscow on Tuesday. While the IOC decided Tuesday to ban from the Rio Games all Russian Sports Ministry officials and other administrators implicated in allegations of a state-run doping program, it delayed a ruling on whether to take the unprecedented step of barring the entire Russian Olympic team. become clearer after Thursday, when the highest court in sports will rule on an appeal by 68 Russian track and field athletes
seeking to overturn their ban from the games. Two-time Olympic pole vault champion Yelena Isinbayeva was
among those arguing the Russian track and field team’s case Tuesday in Geneva at the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Should
the court rule Thursday in their favor, it would seemingly rule out the chance of the IOC imposing a blanket ban.
Weeks away, Olympic Games are not looking good Is this sport or chemistry? OK, admittedly, I am more of a Winter Olympics guy than a fan of the summer games. Skiing, snowboarding, hockey, bobsled and the hypnotic power of curling make for exciting viewing. I can do without the figure skating, but to each their own. Of course, Chris Freud the Summer On Preps Olympics are so much more popular throughout the world — logically — as more nations participate. But how are the games in Rio de Janeiro, which start next month, going to go? Truthfully, not very well. The Olympics are at a flawed site and the integrity of competition is at risk.
WHY NOT CHICAGO? It’s important to bring the world’s sports festivals around the globe. Putting soccer’s World Cup in South Africa for 2010 was historic. We welcomed back that country to the community of nations after years of apartheid. Of course, the 2014 World Cup came to Brazil, which works. That country is absolutely soccer-mad. Building a stadium in a rain forest, perhaps, was not the greatest idea, but it’s logical to hold the event in a big South American country. The Olympics are a different matter for Brazil. It’s a massive undertaking for a country, which clearly doesn’t have the financial resources to do it. And this was predictable even before the country was engulfed in political and health crises. As with every major sporting event, some places are better equipped to take on and handle such a smorgasbord. London, a three-time Olympic host including 2012, had an infrastructure and a lot of facilities already built before it got the games. The
Tube’s been around for a while, people. London had stadia and arenas and even when it built a new Olympic Stadium for the opening and closing ceremonies and track and field, there was a plan to convert that site into a multipurpose sports facility after the games — West Ham soccer plays there. London spent $15 billion to host the games. Rio’s budget is $14.5 billion. That’s a budget. Olympic Games almost always go over estimates. London initially budgeted $4 billion, and look how that turned out. The Associated Press is reporting ticket sales are sluggish and ticket prices are being reduced. Rio’s facilities are behind schedule, which usually means more money. Throw in health issues like the Zika virus, water pollution and security, and this is a mess. How’d this go for Montreal (1976), or, more recently, Sydney (2000), Athens (2004) and Beijing (2008). The last won’t admit
to “white elephant” projects, but those games cost $60 billion. So after all of this, how did Rio beat out Tokyo, Madrid and Chicago in 2009?
THE RUSSIAN CONUNDRUM The answer is money, and that’s why the Russian track team is already banned from Rio and may soon be followed by the rest of its delegation. Despite their noble roots, the modern Olympics are cash extravaganza be it to athletes or organizers. Medals mean money — be it endorsements or simple lumpsum payments from governments, and the incentive is there to cheat with performance-enhancing drugs. The 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia, were proven to be a sham as PED use was rampant and state run. That and similar abuses Russian track team led to expulsion from this year’s games. And now the International Olympic Committee is considering kicking the entire Russian team out. Let’s not be naive — the Russians aren’t the only ones
in this game. Everyone is. As always, the cheaters are ahead of the testers. (And as an added bonus, Rio’s drug-testing center has been shut down because of corruption.) Banning Russia’s entire team would be a bold move by the IOC, an organization not known for daring. Sports need to send a big message that cheating isn’t tolerated. (Bravo to the International Tennis Federation for banning Maria Sharapova for two years for PED use.) This is more of chemical competition than an athletic one.
PERHAPS … Maybe, it will work out. There are always gloom-and-doom reports before Olympics. Lake Placid in New York in 1980 was an infrastructure disaster until the U.S. Hockey Team made everyone forget their problems. I hope for the athletes themselves that Rio becomes about competition and not health issues, PEDs, cost overruns and useless facilities after the events. I’m not confident.

The feud between the GOP’s presidential nominee and House Speaker Paul Ryan continued to overshadow fresh attacks on Clinton, underscoring the rising concerns from party leaders over the New York billionaire’s unorthodox candidacy and its impact on the future of the Republican Party.

Democratic presidential nominee Clinton wooing a new group of voters: Republicans Hoping to capitalize on the criticism battering Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton has begun portraying support for her candidacy as a patriotic duty of voters. She’s broadening her message and appealing directly to Republicans to keep him out of the White House. It’s a twist for a Democratic presidential candidate who has some of the highest unpopularity ratings in history. But aides believe Trump’s controversial campaign and the chaos it’s caused within the Republican Party offers a unique opportunity.

Three experimental Zika vaccines work in monkeys, boosting hopes for success in people Three experimental Zika vaccines protected monkeys against infection from the virus, an encouraging sign as research moves into studies in people. The success in monkeys, which involved a traditional vaccine and two more cutting-edge ones, “brings us one step closer to a safe and effective Zika vaccine,” said Dr. Dan Barouch of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. “But of course, there’s a lot more work to do.” Barouch and others reported the results in a paper released Thursday by the journal Science. One of the vaccines is expected to enter preliminary human studies this year.
Obama: US doesn’t pay ransom President squashes rumors $400M payment to Iran was for hostages By Matthew Lee and Alicia A. Caldwell Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama expressed surprise Thursday at criticism of his administration’s $400 million cash payment to Iran to settle a longstanding legal claim, adamantly rejecting claims that it was a ransom paid for the release of four Americans held in Iran. “This wasn’t some nefarious deal,” Obama told reporters at the Pentagon. He pointed out that the payment, along with an additional $1.3 billion in interest to be paid later, was announced by the administration publicly when it was concluded in January, a day after the implementation of a landmark nuclear agreement with Iran. “It wasn’t a secret. We were completely open about it.”
PAID IN CASH Obama allowed that the one piece of new information, first reported this week by The Wall Street Journal, was that the $400 million was paid in cash. It was delivered to Iran on palettes aboard an unmarked plane. “The only bit of news is that we paid cash,” he said. “The reason is because we couldn’t send them a check and we couldn’t wire the money. We don’t have a banking relationship with Iran which is part of the pressure we applied on them.” The payment has revived allegations from critics of the Iran nuclear deal. The timing of the arrival of the cash coincided with the release of the four

President Barack Obama echoed denials of a ransom on Thursday that have been repeatedly been offered by other administration officials including Secretary of State John Kerry. “We do not pay ransom for hostages,” Obama said, citing longstanding U.S. policy not to pay them for fear of encouraging abductions. “We didn’t here (Iran) and we won’t in the future.” detained Americans as well as implementation of the nuclear deal, leading to charges that the settlement of the 35-year-old claim was a “ransom” payment. Obama echoed denials of a ransom that have been repeatedly been offered by other administration officials including Secretary of State John Kerry. “We do not pay ransom for hostages,” Obama said, citing longstanding U.S. policy not to pay them for fear of encouraging abductions. “We didn’t here and we won’t in the future.” Earlier in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Kerry told reporters that the “story is not a new story” and “was announced by the president of the United States himself at the same time.” The settlement stemmed from a
claim filed by Iran with an international tribunal in 1981 that related to a $400 million payment made by the government of the U.S.-backed Shah of Iran to purchase military equipment in 1970s. The equipment was never delivered because, in 1979, his government was overthrown and revolutionaries took American hostages at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. Diplomatic relations were subsequently severed although the two countries did agree to set up the tribunal to rule on claims from both nations. U.S. officials have said they were concerned that the tribunal might order the U.S. to pay billions more in interest as part of an enforced judgment and that settling the claim in January made good sense.

UN bungles response to Africa’s yellow fever outbreak Health officials estimate they’ll be short millions of vaccines By Maria Cheng and Krista Larson Associated Press
KINSHASA, Congo — The World Health Organization and its partners shipped more than 6 million yellow fever vaccines to Angola in February to quash an emerging epidemic, yet when they asked country officials the following month what happened to the vaccines, they discovered that about 1 million doses had mysteriously disappeared. Of the shipments that did make it to Angola, some vaccines were sent to regions with no yellow fever cases, while others arrived at infected areas without syringes. In neighboring Congo, some vaccines weren’t always kept cold enough to guarantee they would be effective. This lack of oversight and mismanagement has undermined control of the outbreak in Central Africa, the worst yellow fever epidemic in decades, an Associated Press investigation has found. There is now a shortage of vaccines so severe that WHO has recommended doses be diluted by 80 percent to stretch the supply, even though there is limited evidence
they will be effective in African populations. “We have a major problem on our hands,” UNICEF’s Robert Kezaala wrote in capital letters in a June email to his colleagues at WHO, Doctors Without Borders and other partners. WHO vowed after its fumbled response to the 2014 Ebola epidemic in West Africa that it would adopt a “no regrets” policy to better manage future disease outbreaks with its partners in other health organizations and national governments. But according to hundreds of pages of internal emails and documents obtained by AP, the U.N. health agency is facing many of the same problems that compromised its handling of Ebola, an outbreak that killed 11,000 people in three West African countries. Health officials now estimate they will be short millions of doses to fight an epidemic that has also spread to Congo. To date, yellow fever is estimated to have caused upward of 5,000 cases and at least 450 deaths. More than 18 million vaccines have been sent to the continent, far short of the 40 million doses some experts think are needed to contain the outbreak. Some of the most vulnerable areas of Congo’s sprawling capital have been vaccinated, but millions of people still are waiting for doses as fumigation teams spray
crowded neighborhoods in an attempt to kill the mosquitoes that spread the disease. “People are very afraid,” says Dr. Ernest Mumakubwidi, who treats patients out of a tiny cement-block neighborhood clinic in Kinshasa. “They won’t be able to vaccinate everyone — that is clear.” Amanda McClelland, a senior emergency official at the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, or the IFRC, said the crisis is a repeat of WHO’s mismanagement of the Ebola epidemic in 2014. “It was the same people at WHO that made the initial calls during Ebola and it was the exact same response: We’ve got enough, we don’t need any help and it’s all under control.” Dr. Bruce Aylward, who directed WHO’s Ebola response, acknowledged that more changes are still needed to enable WHO to respond quicker to complex emergencies, even though he said the agency has made substantial reforms in the past two years. “It would be a mistake to think that WHO is now ready,” he said. “I think a lot of things are better but I don’t think we’re there yet.”
‘A DISASTER’ Unlike Ebola, yellow fever is not highly contagious and is easily prevented with vaccines. The virus is transmitted by the

Aedes aegypti mosquito, the same species that spreads Zika, dengue, and chikungunya. Once infected, people often fall ill with fever and muscle pain, but many recover after several days. Others, however, suffer a more toxic phase and can develop jaundice, as the virus attacks the liver and kidneys. In the worst cases, patients bleed internally in their digestive systems, becoming delirious before dying. According to WHO, the death rate for reported cases is between 15 to 50 percent. Yellow fever has largely been eliminated in developed nations
after vaccines were developed in the 1930s, but outbreaks continue in Africa and Latin America. For countries that cannot afford broad vaccination programs, a consortium was formed in 2001 by WHO, the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, Doctors Without Borders and UNICEF. Their role is to dole out the global emergency stockpile of about 6 million vaccines, which cost less than $2 each. Until this outbreak, the consortium had never before used more than 4 million doses in any one country.

COLORADO Missing woman with dementia found dead in Uncompahgre American culture. The Daily Camera reports the City Council voted Tuesday in favor of the new holiday, which will be celebrated on Columbus Day each year. Mayor Suzanne Jones said at the city meeting she was sorry the holiday proclamation “took so long.” The city’s decision culminates months of work spearheaded by the city’s Human Relations Commission. It also comes after Democratic State Rep. Joe Salazar of Thornton authorized a bill this year seeking to replace the state Columbus Day holiday with Indigenous Peoples’ Day. As part of the city’s new holiday declaration, officials have also decided to rename Settlers Park at the mouth of Boulder Canyon.

LOCATED WITHIN
MONTROSE — Family members have found the body an 82-year-old woman with dementia who went missing in the Uncompahgre National Forest. The Montrose Daily Press reports Mary Finnegan, of Delta County, was found Tuesday night about 3 miles from where her car was discovered abandoned July 24. She was last seen leaving a bowling alley in Montrose on July 15. The Mesa County Sheriff’s Office looked for the woman for several days but called off the search Thursday. Between 40 and 60 people searched for her each day since her car was found on a rough road in the forest near the border of Mesa and Montrose counties. Searchers didn’t have many clues to go on because rain had washed away footprints. Heavy brush also made it difficult to move around and to see the ground.

The Denver Post reports that the $35,000 billboard, which is 28 feet tall and glows at night, includes a message that reads: “Hits Lead to Hits, Don’t Drive High.” It was funded by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Colorado Department of Transportation spokesman Sam Cole says the billboard is likely to make an impact, as its downtown location puts it within a mile’s distance from six pot dispensaries and near several hotels. State data shows 20 percent of DUI citations this year have involved marijuana use.

Clarence Seeley, of Indiana, told KMGH-TV that he had only been in Denver for about a week before the June 29 attack that was caught on video and posted to Facebook, where it has since been watched more than 3 million times. He is charged with aggravated assault in connection to the incident. Seeley says he was reacting to someone with a knife. No other weapons are seen on the video and no other arrests were made.

Iowa zoo settles lawsuit; lions sent to Colorado sanctuary Wednesday A wildlife protection group says two
African lionesses have been sent to a Colorado sanctuary, settling its lawsuit against a roadside zoo in northeast Iowa. The Animal Legal Defense Fund said Wednesday that The Wild Animal Sanctuary took possession of the lions Monday. The sanctuary sits near Keenesburg, Colorado. The organization and five Iowans sued Cricket Hollow Zoo in Manchester, Iowa, last month. They alleged the zoo confined the lions in small enclosures strewn with fly-laden meat and feces and said the animals’ treatment violated the Endangered Species Act. Owners Pam and Tom Sellner say they’ve been unfairly maligned.

The Denver Post reports that Denver District Judge Michael Martinez on Wednesday ruled that Douglas County’s School Choice Grant Program is not substantially different from its predecessor the Choice Scholarship Program, which was struck down by the Colorado Supreme Court as unconstitutional last year. After the high court ruled that Douglas County’s voucher program violated the state constitution’s ban on using public funds for religious schools, the district in March introduced a new program that would allow taxpayer money to help cover non-religious private schools. Martinez ruled that the new program was too similar to the previous program.

Realignment reconfigures Slope for teams New leagues for Devils, Huskies, Gore Rangers and Saints By Chris Freud cfreud@vaildaily.com
Local schools play in the Western Slope, and that’s about all that’s the same. Delta’s out of the 4A Slope. Steamboat is sometimes in the 4A Slope. The 2A Slope has new faces and a new format. The 3A football Western Slope looks like its been dieting. And Vail Christian football has a completely new league. Here’s an attempt at explaining that flow chart.
THE WHY As Colorado’s population has grown and moved, assorted classifications got bigger than others. CHSAA, seeing an imbalance — 4A, for example, kept growing to the point where it had more schools than any other class, a fact not lost on either Battle Mountain and Eagle Valley — in those divisions, rejiggered the numbers upon which classifications are based to even those numbers. Ergo, new leagues.
THE I-70 LEAGUE? Class 3A football is down to six teams — Summit County, Battle Mountain, Eagle Valley, Glenwood Springs, Rifle and Palisade, from east to west on Interstate 70. All seven leagues in 3A football are now six teams. Montezuma-Cortez has moved down to 2A permanently, based on a petition to CHSAA about general football woes. (Current
Slope teams will miss the win on the schedule, but not the every-other-year journey to Four Corners. Moffat County went down to 2A in the last count cycle, and, under the new counts, both Delta and Steamboat join Moffat. (Perish the thought of what Delta may do at 2A.) And, thus, a once 10-team league is now six. League play for both the Huskies and Devils starts on Oct. 7, which sounds really weird.
Steamboat Springs football is going down a class, but the Sailors stay in the 4A Slope in most other sports, including soccer.
FOOTHILLS LEAGUE Vail Christian football was changing leagues even before CHSAA announced new numbers. The Saints were going from 8-man football to Class 1A 11-man because of the school’s growth. The best news is that Vail Christian will have nine games — honest. The Saints will not have programs dissolving the week of a game. Nonconference is mostly the 1A Slope — Grand Valley, Cedaredge and Hotchkiss with Lake County from Tri-Peaks. The Saints are in the new 1A Foothills conference with Platte Canyon, Bennett, Clear Creek, Front Range Christian and Manual.
TWO LEAGUES INTO ONE At 2A, the Gore and Mesa leagues are no more. Vail Christian boys basketball becomes the answer to the trivia question, “What was the only team to win the Gore League?” For volleyball and basketball, Vail Christian and Vail Mountain are in a 13-team league with everyone — Caprock Academy, Hayden, Hotchkiss, Meeker, Paonia, Plateau Valley, Rangely Soroco, West Grand, DeBeque

SAD HOOPS COACHES In non-football prep sports, the 4A Slope subtracts Delta as well. That sound you just heard were sighs of relief from basketball coaches Phill Tronsrue and Chris Wells. That’s never a fun trip, and, perhaps, the officiating isn’t the greatest there. Rifle, 4A in non-football, also returns to the Slope in soccer.
Nobody in the Western Slope, including Eagle Valley and Battle Mountain, is sorry to see Delta football drop down a class in football for the upcoming season.

Late-summer fishing provides some challenges And here are some tips With a warmer-than-average summer continuing this week, fly-fishing conditions demand that anglers employ special tactics when on the water. Lower levels of clear water means trout are more wary. Insect hatches are less intense. Warmer Brody water during Henderson the day can On Fishing make trout less aggressive. All of these factors affect how, when and where to find the best fly-fishing.
WALK SOFTLY When fly-fishing for trout in the shallow, gin-clear water of late summer a stealthy approach is important. With everything from minks, otters, herons and eagles and anglers searching them out, trout become very spooky under these conditions and will quickly move away from perceived danger and stop feeding. Wade quietly into position and try not to push waves into the area where trout are holding. Seek out faster riffles where trout are feeding and easier to approach. Also, take the time to tie on a longer leader and lighter tippet if necessary and scale down the size of your flies unless you are fishing a big hopper dry fly. Late summer sees the end of the bigger hatches such as caddis and Pale Morning Duns. More common are much smaller insects
such as trico mayflies and midges. Trout easily adjust to smaller food sources but sometimes anglers find it hard to give up on the bigger flies that were working well just a couple of weeks ago. Smaller flies also prove effective when targeting trout that have seen many artificial flies throughout the course of the summer.
CHECK THE TEMPS Another important factor in late-summer fly-fishing is water temperature. Water temperatures on the Colorado, lower Eagle and lower Roaring Fork are beginning to rise into the upper 60s and approaching 70 degrees on some days. Warmer water means less active trout so anglers should focus on the times of day when water temperatures are at their coolest. Sunrise until late morning is
currently the best time to catch trout and the last hour or two of the day when water temperatures begin to fall again is also a good choice. When catching trout in warm water, anglers should take care when practicing catch and release fly-fishing techniques. Be sure to use barbless hooks that are easily removed without handling fish. Try to avoid holding fish out of the water for photos or overplaying trout to ensure they are not stressed due to oxygen depletion. Revive any trout that seem overtired by allowing them to rest in your net, facing upstream into the current until the water flowing over their gills has restored their oxygen supply. While all of this may make for more challenging fly-fishing, our rivers are still holding up well
despite the heat and with more monsoons in the forecast, cooler water will follow.
WHERE TO GO The Eagle River is still fishing well for wade fishermen, especially in faster pocket water and riffles. Meanwhile, over on the upper Colorado River above and below State Bridge, the hopper fishing for float fishermen has been consistently good. Anglers should avoid the lower Roaring Fork River near Glenwood Springs during the heat of the day until the water cools off. Instead, head to alpine lakes and higher-elevation creeks for wilderness trout that are enjoying colder water.

RIO DE JANEIRO — Even if only for two weeks, can “Faster-Higher-Stronger” overpower deadlier, scarier and bloodier?

Sports are, and always will be, trivial compared to such atrocities that have come depressingly thick and fast of late. “The Olympics may help me take my mind off things,” said Parisian lawyer Remy Durand, reflecting over lunch Thursday on the Champs-Elysees. “But it’s not going to change my overall mood lastingly, after the attacks in recent weeks and months in France.”

Nike departs golf equipment biz, remains in clothes, shoes What does Tiger play when he returns? By Doug Ferguson AP Golf Writer
Nike is getting out of the golf equipment business, a surprising announcement Wednesday that is sure to send Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and other players searching for new clubs and golf balls next season. Nike said it would stop making clubs, golf balls and golf bags, instead devoting its resources to shoes and apparel, longs its strength in the golf marketplace. “We’re committed to being the undisputed leader in golf footwear and apparel,” said Trevor Edwards, president of Nike Brand. “We will achieve this by investing in performance innovation for athletes and delivering sustainable profitable growth for Nike Golf.” Woods has been with Nike since he turned pro in 1996 with that “Hello, World” advertisement, and he remains the most famous figure among Nike golfers. The Beaverton, Oregon-based company also signed Rory McIlroy in a splashy announcement in Abu Dhabi to start the 2013 season.
LOYAL AMBASSADOR Woods has gone more than a year without playing because of back surgeries, though his agent at Excel Sports Management said he would remain “the iconic ambassador” for Nike Golf, just with a smaller group of products. “He’s been the most loyal ambassador and longest standing for Nike Golf. That doesn’t change,” agent Mark Steinberg said in a telephone interview. “It just means he’ll likely have some different equipment in the bag, whether that’s tomorrow, next month or a year from now. Tiger and I have been talking about this the last couple of days. We have a very sophisticated, legitimate plan in place and we’re going to see it through.” Woods began promoting the shoes and

No other Nike golf ball moment was more vivid than when Woods won the 2005 Masters with a chip-in for birdie on the 16th hole, in which the ball rolled down a slope and hung on the edge of the cup for a full second — the Nike swoosh aimed at TV screens around the world — before falling. He changed to the Nike irons at the American Express Championship in Ireland in 2002, one week before the Ryder Cup, and then gradually added the fairway metal, the driver and, finally, the putter in 2010. During those changes, Phil Mickelson caused a stir when he said in a Golf Magazine interview that Woods had “inferior” clubs and then tried to pay Woods a compliment by saying he was the only player good enough to “overcome the equipment he’s stuck with.”

Hitch a ride Associated Press
LOS ALAMOS, N.M. — A New Mexico bear hitched a ride on top of a garbage truck, traveling at least 5 miles on the vehicle before it was able to make its escape up a tree. Santa Fe National Forest spokeswoman Julie Anne Overton says the driver was picking up a dumpster last week when he heard a squeal then realized the bear was on top of the truck. It rode atop the vehicle to a site where the Forest Service keeps a firefighting helicopter. Helicopter mechanic Evan Welsch, who snapped photos of the bear, said about 30 Forest Service and National Park workers had gathered around to see the spectacle when it was suggested that the driver back up near a tree to give the animal an escape route.

merican rock favorite Chris Isaak will take the stage at the Vilar Performing Arts Center on Sunday. Known for classic hits including “Wicked Game,” “Baby Did a Bad, Bad Thing” and “Somebody’s Crying,” Isaak has also acted in television shows and movies and been a judge for “X-Factor Australia.” Read on to learn more about his musical influences, career and excitement about returning to the Vail Valley.
AMERICAN ROCK ’N’ ROLL SINGER CHRIS ISAAK COMES TO VILAR PERFORMING ARTS CENTER
1
VILAR PERFORMING ART CENTER: What was it like to be a judge for “X-Factor Australia?” CHRIS ISAAK: At first, I thought I would hate it. I come from a background playing bars, stores, clubs and working my way up. I had the idea that television singers just couldn’t be real. I’m happy to say I was wrong. I met a great group of young singers that made it a ball to go to work each day. I loved just passing around a guitar backstage, singing and picking and talking music. The best!
IF YOU GO … What: Chris Isaak. When: 8 p.m. Sunday. Where: Vilar Performing Arts Center, 68 Avondale Lane, Beaver Creek. Cost: Tickets start at $105. More information: Tickets are on sale now at the box office by calling 970-845-8497 or at www.vilarpac.org.
2
VPAC: What do you like most about performing in the Vail Valley? ISAAK: It’s a gorgeous place. It reminds me of my hometown of Stockton, California, but the best thing in any town is the people. They come to have fun, and Vail makes that easy.
3
VPAC: How has your acting career influenced your music? ISAAK: I think I’m a guy who loves movies; even as I’m doing this interview, I have an old movie playing in my bunk on the bus. But I think of myself as a singer more than an actor. And I have 20 films to prove it.
Chris Isaak and his band will take the stage at the Vilar Performing Arts Center on Sunday. “We love putting on a live show; I’m really proud of this band. After 31 years, I think we are having more fun than ever,” Isaak said. SPECIAL TO THE DAILY
4
VPAC: As your albums have been released throughout the span of 30 years, how has your musical style changed and evolved? ISAAK: Not much. I love pretty singing, love songs and American style rock ’n’ roll. I don’t rap; I don’t have a political message. I’m not angry. What the hell do I have to be angry about? I sing for a living! I just try to do what I’ve always tried to do. Sing pretty and have fun doing it!

VPAC: What is new or different about your most recent album, “First Comes the Night”? ISAAK: We recorded in Nashville with two new producers. I was running back and forth from studio to studio, but it was a ball. Paul Worley and Dave Cobb, two very different guys with a lot in common, they love and respect American music and they know its history. Every day was playtime, not work.

VPAC: How does it feel to be coming back here and performing in the Vail Valley? ISAAK: We love putting on a live show; I’m really proud of this band. After 31 years, I think we are having more fun than ever. … The guys are dressed up sharp in suits that could have come out of James Brown’s closet. And I have one suit that weighs 35 pounds and is covered in mirrors. It looks like something Liberace turned down as too flashy! I can’t wait to be back. We have been working out twice a day — our team is ready.

VPAC: “Wicked Game” is a classic that everyone can’t wait to hear live in Beaver Creek. Why do you think that song resonated so well with audiences and became such a classic hit? ISAAK: I think everybody has had that feeling when love grabs you and you aren’t in control. It’s scary, and it’s wonderful. Ain’t life grand?

‘Xanadu Jr.’ certainly does Vail Performing Arts Academy’s hysterical musical stage adaptation plays at Vilar Center By Randy Wyrick rwyrick@vaildaily.com
BEAVER CREEK — Can a group of kid performers properly and hilariously lampoon an outrageously bad 1980s movie about an artist and his muse who find love in a Los Angeles roller disco? Why yes, they can, and we’re glad you asked. The Vail Performing Arts Academy is presenting “Xanadu Jr.,” the hilarious comedic stage adaptation, not the howlingly bad movie. That’s an important distinction, because even the strident and humorless New York Times called the stage play an “outlandishly enjoyable stage spoof.” The “outrageously bad movie” killed Olivia Newton-John’s budding movie career, and might have killed Hollywood legend Gene Kelly outright. It was his last cinematic dance, which is completely unfair. The medical examiner did not list the movie’s unbridled awfulness as the cause of death, but you never really know. But at least he went out smiling, and dancing with Newton-John, who’s so adorable that your dad probably has an LP record in his album collection with her on the cover. Dad gets bonus points if the plastic wrap is still on it.

As part of 22nd annual Vail Jazz Festival, Vail Jazz celebrates life, music, art of legendary bass player Daily staff report newsroom@vaildaily.com
VAIL — A famous bass player and prolific photographer, not to mention a man of many nicknames, Milt Hinton chronicled jazz through the ages from the 1920s up until his death in 2000. Revealing a colorful sample of the mark he made, a digital exhibit of Hinton’s work and music will be presented at the Lionshead Welcome Center four times daily through Monday, Sept. 5. But that’s just the teaser for Vail Jazz’s ongoing Hinton tribute this summer. In addition to the display at the Lionshead Welcome Center, the digital exhibit will be shown each night of the Vail Jazz Party (Sept. 2-4) in the lower lobby of the Vail Mountain Marriott Resort, where the evening sessions take place. The documentary “Keeping Time: The Life, Music and Photographs of Milt Hinton” will be shown at the Marriott’s Grand Ballroom on Friday, Sept. 2, at 2 p.m. The documentary chronicles Hinton’s storied 70-year career, embracing the rich life of a remarkable musician who recognized and recorded history as he was playing it. Tickets are $20 or included in the weekend passes.

Wander woods with 66 percussionists Immerse yourself in John Luther Adams’ ‘Inuksuit’ at Maloit Park Daily staff report newsroom@vaildaily.com
MINTURN — In a rare presentation of an epic environmental piece, the Bravo! Vail music festival presents a performance of Pulitzer Prize-winning composer John Luther Adams’ monumental outdoor work “Inuksuit” during a special event in Maloit Park at 2 p.m. Saturday. The performance closes the festival’s 2016 summer season and is free to the community. This performance of “Inuksuit” will feature 66 percussionists playing either individually or as part of small groups throughout Maloit Park. Audience members will walk through the park, finding themselves immersed in a cohesive sonic landscape that provides new perspectives on what it means to hear and to listen. “Inuksuit” has been performed across the world, and audiences have described the experience as surreal, meditative, immersive and exploratory. Adams, whom The New Yorker has called “one of the most original musical thinkers of the new century,” has said in the past that his music “has always been profoundly influenced by the natural world and a strong sense of place.” While composing “Inuksuit” — scored for 9 to 99 percussionists — Adams drew inspiration from the landscapes of Alaska. Adams said the work, which The New York Times described as “the ultimate environmental piece,” is “haunted by the vision of the melting of the polar ice, the rising of the seas and what may remain of humanity’s presence after the waters recede.”

Adams also described “Inuksuit” as reflecting “the natural evolution” of his work over the years and his tendency toward “making pieces that are bigger and bigger sonic landscapes, pieces that have begun to exceed the capacity of enclosed spaces. At a certain point,” he said, “the music becomes too big for a concert hall, so then you sort of have no choice but to move outside.”
WELCOMING NOISE Because percussion “makes noise, not tone,” the “inseparable relationship between noise and silence” is a defining characteristic of “Inuksuit,” Adams said. “When we regard noise as an intrusion,” he said, “it bothers us, it annoys us; we try to keep it out. But when we welcome noise as something to hear, then suddenly the whole world becomes music.” The active, non-fixed role of the audience for “Inuksuit” means that the piece “is all about the listener shaping their own experience,” Adams said, and the different landscapes of different outdoor performance venues impact

Even though “all the individual parts, every sound that someone plays in the piece, is written,” Adams said, “exactly when and exactly where and exactly how individual events relate to one another is open to the conditions of the performance site and to the magic of the moment.” While for “Inuksuit” Adams conceives of “each instrumentalist as a soloist and each listener as a solitary figure,” he hopes the piece becomes greater than the sum of its parts. “Out of the shared experience of our individual listening emerges this larger sense that we’re all in something bigger than we are,” he said. “Inuksuit” is a co-production between Bravo! Vail and the Aspen Music Festival and School, supported by the town of Minturn and Eagle County Schools.

EAGLE — Comedy Night at the Bowlmor returns to The Back Bowl in Eagle today at 8:30 p.m., when comedian Brent Gill makes his debut comedy series appearance. As a regular headliner at both Comedy Works Denver locations, Gill has entrenched himself as a mainstay in the city’s extremely deep live-comedy culture. Plying an onstage presence that exudes charisma and energy, he has a gift for communicating the many absurdities he observes as he stumbles awkwardly through daily life. This talent — along with plenty of effort at honing his craft — has not gone unnoticed. Both Denver’s Westword and The Denver Post have recognized Gill as one of Denver’s top comedic talents, with Westword calling him “a paragon of Denver comedy.”

The Vail Valley Art Guild has more than 180 active members who are inspired by the beauty of the Vail Valley, and the “Art of the American West” exhibit features oil paintings, watercolors, photographs and ceramic works created by local artists.

LEADVILLE — The 66th annual Leadville Boom Days festival takes place today through Sunday in Leadville, bringing to life the Old West and celebrating the town’s 1880s gold- and silver-rush heritage. Marshals and outlaws roam the crowd and a parade rolls down the avenue for more than an hour, plus there’s mining competitions, Wild West gunfights and ladies and gentlemen in Victorian costumes. Events include two days of live music, a food and craft fair with more than 100 vendors, pancake breakfasts, a car show, motorcycle games, a rod and gun show, a pie-eating contest and egg toss, Cowboy Church at the Tabor Opera House on Sunday morning and two nights of Boom Days dances.
STEVE SUNDAY | SPECIAL TO THE DAILY
In mining competitions, competitors slam down axes to drive spikes, or they use sledgehammers to pound the drilling steels their partners hold by hand.
IF YOU GO … What: Leadville Boom Days. When: Today through Sunday. Where: Leadville. Cost: Most activities are free to spectators. More information: Visit www.leadville boomdays.com, or call 719-486-3900.
CHILDREN’S ACTIVITIES Kids can pretend to be miners and join a mucking race, grabbing a shovel, loading gravel into an ore cart and pushing the cart to the finish. They can pan for gold, make crystals, go on a scavenger hunt and learn to identify Colorado rocks, all at the National Mining Hall of Fame and Museum. Or they can hop around with old-fashioned sack races and three-legged races. Burro racers embark on a 21-mile or 15-mile trek leading sometimes-stubborn
burros on ropes. The long race follows fourwheel-rive roads to the top of Mosquito Pass at nearly 13,200 feet, while the short course loops nearby Bald Mountain. In keeping with the sport’s mining history, all burros must wear a pack with prospector’s paraphernalia, including a pick, shovel and

‘XANDU JR.’ From page B3
Vail Performing Arts Academy since she was 12 years old. She graduated Vail Christian High School in the spring, and Meiring asked her to work this summer to help design the choreography. Her parents, who love her, did not make her watch the movie. Her uncle did, although they heckled it the entire time. Everyone should come under the occasional influence of a renegade uncle. The stage adaption, especially VPAA’s stage adaptation, is laugh-out-loud funny. “It’s perfect for these kids,” Keith said. The cast is 50 young performers, all younger than 16. “They’re younger, but almost all of them have all done this before. We lucked out
with the group of kids we have,” Keith said. “It’s a chance for the younger kids to show us and the valley what they can do.” Performing with them is one thing, but choreographing them is a different animal, Keith said. “It’s awesome to see the love I have for theater come alive in the younger kids,” Keith said. Rehearsals run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Thursday, with some Friday time thrown in for good measure, which keeps the youngsters away from video games. “It’s like school in the summer, but the fun part of school,” Keith said. Harry Jaffe plays Danny in the VPAA version. He’s transformed into a real estate mogul who may be running for political office and who may or may not resemble someone prominent on the current political scene.

Opening this summer edition of Comedy Night at The Bowlmor is Los Angeles girl Janae Burris. She’s performed standup and improv comedy for more than a decade. With chops that include acting and improv with some of the top performing arts groups in Southern California, Burris is now tearing it up at many of the top clubs in the Denver region. This is also her first appearance at The Back Bowl.
gold pan. This 68th running of the International Leadville Pack Burro Race is the second leg of the Western Pack Burro Association’s Triple Crown. In the mining events, competitors hand-carry a 135-pound jack leg drill to score holes in a boulder, or they race to see who’s the speediest at shoveling a ton of crushed rock. They slam down axes to drive spikes, or they use sledgehammers to pound the drilling steels their partners hold by hand. Boom Days is a dog-free event. Doggie day care and overnight boarding are available from Cold Nose Warm Heart Pet Care; call 719-486-2014 for reservations or visit leadville petcare.com.
