Ski and Snowboard Club Vail’s Sylvan Ellefson leads the pack on his way to winning the men’s open division Nordic Classic Sprint on Saturday at the Rocky Mountain Division Nordic Junior Nation-al Qualifier in Durango. SSCV’s Briana Perkins won the woman’s sprint. Ellefson went on to win the men’s masters Junior National Qualifier skate race on Sunday, with SSCV’s Josh Smith and Max-well Burnell taking 3rd and 4th, respectively, in that race. While Ellefson, Smith and Perkins are too old for junior nationals, their im-pressive finishes will help their national ranking. Meanwhile Burnell was the first person to finish from the OJ (Older Junior) division in Sunday’s skate, giving him a win in that category. “This was a huge race for Max, and puts him in great position to qualify for junior na-tionals,” said coach Karl Hochtl.

President Barack Obama will deliver his first State of the Union address on Wednesday, Jan. 27. Obama will ad-dress a joint session of Congress, begin-ning at 9 p.m. EST.

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Monday the speech would be broadcast live on national television and streamed on the White House Web site. It will be Obama’s first State of the Union address.

Obama has been hoping to sign a health care overhaul bill into law in time for the speech. The speech Obama delivered last year, just weeks after tak-ing office, technically is not considered a State of the Union address.

Haitian refugeesto be sent back

U.S. authorities are readying for a po-tential influx of Haitians seeking to es-cape their earthquake-wracked nation, even though the policy for migrants remains the same: with few exceptions, they will go back.

Between 250 and 400 immigration detainees are being moved from South Florida’s main detention center to clear space for any Haitians who manage to reach U.S. shores, according to the Homeland Security Department.

Homeland Security spokesman Sean Smith said Monday that orphans who have ties to the U.S. — such as a family

Vail’s Town Council, along with its Planning and Environmental Commission will hear an update on the Ever Vail Project tonight.

Vail Resorts CEO Rob Katz is scheduled to lead a discussion that will “address the vision and need for a new portal,” according to the council agenda.

“In November, we resubmitted updated plans for EverVail to the town of Vail,” Vail Resorts spokes-woman Kristin Williams said yesterday. “Tomorrow night, we will review those plans, with a heavy em-phasis on how the project will contribute to the park-ing solution in Vail.

[Katz] will kick off the presentation by addressing the importance of EverVail to both our company as well as the community in terms of helping to solve both mountain operations and community needs, and to stay competitive with other mountain resort com-munities.”

George Ruther of the EverVail team is also set to update the town with “an overview of the proposed project with a focus on the proposed provision of parking and plan for allocation of that parking,” the agenda reads.

The Ever Vail project is billed as a sustainable mixed use resort at the base of Vail Mountain, one of the largest “green” resorts project in the country.

The roughly 12.2 acre site will include hotel space, shopping, employee housing and 400 new parking spaces. The council will take no official action on the matter, but the presentation will conclude with a discussion identifying topics for future hearings.

Guard Your Body in 2010

Renowned as a year-round center for athletes of vari-ous disciplines and ability levels, Vail is fast becoming the nation’s leading destination for visitors who want to pursue their recreational passions, and take their skill set to the next level.

In keeping with this trend, it was announced this week that Vail will be the site of Carmichael Training Systems’ newest High Altitude Training Camp from June 22-26.

Created in 2000 by Olympian and elite cyclist Chris Carmichael, Carmichael Training Systems leads the performance coaching industry with the ap-plication of the latest sports sci-ence knowledge for nutrition, fitness, and endurance training. Best known for his work as Lance Armstrong’s personal coach, Car-michael was instrumental in the cyclist’s comeback to his com-petitive best after his bout with testicular cancer. Carmichael has since coached a number of the world’s top athletes, as well as thousands of recreational athletes in their pursuit of personal bests.

“Training camps are an important component of im-proving as an athlete; the ability to focus entirely on your sport often leads to dramatic advances in confi-dence, skill, and fitness. We’re thrilled to have the op-portunity to combine the ultimate training and coach-ing experience with the ultimate vacation experience in Vail,” says Chris Carmichael, founder and CEO of Carmichael Training Systems. “The rides will be like nothing on earth, and nobody will be bored when they are off their bikes in Vail.”

The Carmichael High Altitude Training Camp in Vail will allow guests to experience classic Colorado summer rides while being coached by the world-class staff of Carmichael Training Systems. Rides will vary from breath-taking climbs, steep descents and flat val-ley roads. Participants will experience amenities typi-cally reserved for professional cyclists, from post-ride massages, to individual power file analysis with the coaches. This camp is structured to accommodate rid-ers of all levels and is relevant for both mountain bike and road cyclists.

“We’re extremely pleased to announce this new part-nership with Carmichael Training Systems,” says Kelli McDonald, Town of Vail Economic Development Man-ager. “People in Vail, whether our visitors or residents, are immensely passionate about their personal pursuits. For those who are out to achieve their personal bests on bikes or with their overall fitness and wellness, Chris Carmichael is America’s coach. Carmichael Training Systems has earned its reputation as the nation’s pre-mier destination for personal fitness and performance coaching, and we’re thrilled to have them be a part of our resort playground.”

In addition to the High Altitude Training Camp, Car-michael Training Systems is in discussion with Shaw Regional Cancer Center, located in the Vail Valley, to introduce a post-treatment cancer recovery camp in the healing environment of Vail. This particular camp is a first in the country. Utilizing the coaching approach de-veloped specifically for Lance Armstrong following his cancer treatment, this camp will focus on developing individual energy systems, optimizing oxygen delivery to working muscles, leave plenty of room for recovery and priorities outside of training, and set good fitness patterns for life after conquering cancer.

Jared Polis likes being your congressman and wants you to hire him again.

Polis made a campaign swing yesterday through Ea-gle County, announcing his re-election bid, and meet-ing with local Democrats in the local party’s de facto headquarters, Fiesta’s Café and Cantina in Edwards.

He had the good sense to schedule his Fiesta’s whis-tle stop during lunch.

Polis is a freshman congressman who spent $5.5 million of his own money in his 2008 campaign. He topped two of the state’s leading Democrats in the pri-mary, and then breezed by the sacrificial Republican in the 2008 general election.

The tour kicked off Saturday afternoon in Broom-field, and concluded in Eagle County yesterday.

Polis visited some local school kids during yester-day’s Eagle County stop.

“Last year, the people of Colorado’s Second Con-gressional District sent me to Congress because they wanted new leadership in Washington,” Polis said. “I am excited to kickoff my re-election campaign.”

So far, no Democrats have stepped up to challenge Polis.

Two Republicans have said they’ll be happy to square off with Polis, Stephen Bailey and Bob Brancato.

“In this election, you will have a clear choice between liberty and serfdom,” Bailey says.

He and his family live in Niwot, where he works in marketing for a software company. He served in the U.S. Air Force and has been a small business owner.

Brancato is a private investigator on the Front Range.

Polis lives in Boulder and became one of the coun-try’s youngest billionaires, cashing in at the height of the dot-com boom.

McInnis marches past $1 million markRepublican governor candidate Scott McInnis’s cam-

paign has raised more than $1 million in six months. That includes more than $487,000 in the final quarter of 2009.

McInnis has received donations from every Colorado county, according to his campaign reports.

In the campaign finance report filed yesterday, McIn-nis reported $487,663 from nearly 2,000 donors. Half of those donations were less than $100.

Through two fundraising quarters, McInnis has raised $1,036,877 from more than 3,500 donors.

“The growing grassroots support for our campaign from every corner of Colorado shows how our com-mon-sense message is working,” McInnis said. “We’ll bring Colorado together to spark job creation, expand economic opportunity and put taxpayers first again.”

Do a good turn while learning to do a good turn.That’s the simple concept of Ski For Good, an orga-

nization that pairs world-wide charitable giving with world class ski instruction.

“The relationship between ski instructor and student goes way beyond pedantic when you speak to (the stu-dent) about charitable giving,” said Ski For Good’s founder Scott Walcheck.

Walcheck has been building the buzz of Ski For Good for the past four seasons.

As a part-time adult ski instructor at Beaver Creek, Walcheck donates his earnings during private instruc-tion to the student’s non-profit of choice.

“I knew I wanted to do this from the very beginning, but I had to prove to (my students) at least in the first two to three hours, that they were getting quality in-struction first and then engage them, so they could feel they were getting something of real value,” Walcheck explained of Ski for Good’s origins.

Walcheck found that at least 50 to 60 percent of his clientele at Beaver Creek had a story about a charitable interest of their own - the fundamental reason why Ski for Good is not limited to just one charity. He calls it “open source philanthropy.”

“We at Ski for Good don’t want to control it - we want to be on the back end to control quality - but we want every instructor to own it themselves,” he said.

To date, Walcheck has recruited roughly 35 to 40 in-structors who donate their earnings during private les-sons. Last year, Ski for Good gave $20,000 to various charities around the world.

Ski for Good’s model is basic. The student requests a participating instructor when they book private instruc-tion with either Vail or Beaver Creek.

On the slopes, the instructor and student fill out a form designating any registered 501(c)(3) as the recipi-ent of that day’s lesson cost. The guest may choose to give more than the cost of instruction if they wish.

Ski for Good takes it from there, sending 100 percent of the proceeds to each charity at season’s end, along with a letter to the guest which serves as proof they donated to a tax deductible charity.

Any charity recognized by the IRS applies to the Ski for Good cause.

The great thing about Ski for Good is that the donor is already engaged in an activity they love, learning to better their ski ort snowboard skills, said Walcheck.

“So often generosity and philanthropy is laborious,” said Walcheck. “When you match it with something that you’re good at everyone wins.”

Tina Bump-Irmakesen, also a part-time ski instruc-tor, found herself signing on to the Ski for Good cause

last year.“I’ve always had an interest in using sports to support

philanthropy,“ said Bump-Irmakesen, who has nearly 15 years experience organizing sporting events that give to a good cause. “When people are having fun, it’s a win, win situation because they’re still enjoying the activity and everyone gets something out of it.”

Bump-Irmakesen founded AID Tansania, along with her husband, a non-profit that assists Tanzanian chil-dren in obtaining education.

AID Tansania has already benefited greatly from the Ski for Good cause during Bump-Irmaken’s instruc-tion, when the student wasn’t sure which non-profit they would like their lesson’s fee to go to, she said.

1st Town Series hits Beav’Rackley, Delaney, Treat within 6/10 on Bear Trap course

At the Beaver Creek Town Se-ries opening GS race of the year, the Bear Trap course was running fast and straight, no surprises com-ing over any of the rollers. And with firm snow conditions, the racers were able to throw down some fast times.

Justin Rackley found his way back on top the podium beating out Sean Delaney, who was racing without foot beds, and former U.S. Ski Team member Sandy Treat.

“It was pretty good, man,” Dela-ney said. “Ronny Rupert set a ripper, gave everyone a chance to get their feet underneath themselves. We’re looking forward to the rest of the se-ries and taking on the Yote.”

For the ladies, Coyote Café’s Kath-ryn Keane was a half a second better than newcomer Aleksandra Buczyn-ska, whose teammate was late bring-ing her a GS suit, so it should be in-teresting how this rivalry plays out. Adrienne Snow took third.

As for team results, The Coyote Café inched out Scott Josephs Me-morial Team by one point. Grimaldi International Real Estate currently sits in third.

Chief of Race Ron Rupert said, “It’s the first time no one has ever complained about the course, so that’s good.”

Fellow Russian upsets Sharapova in Australia

Former top-ranked tennis heart-breaker Maria Sharapova made a surprise exit in the Australian Open losing 7-6, 3-6, 6-4 on Monday to fellow Russian Maria Kirilenko.

U.S. Open champion Clijsters, also a former No. 1 and making a return to the Australian Open in her sixth tourna-ment back from retirement, easily won her first-round match 6-0, 6-4 over Canadian qualifier Valerie Tetreault.

Later Monday, another former No. 1 also on the comeback trail, seven-time Grand Slam singles winner Justine Henin, advanced with a 6-4, 6-3 win over fellow Belgian Kirsten Flipkens. Henin lost to Clijsters in the Brisbane International final 10 days ago in her return to the tour.

It was Sharapova’s earliest exit from a Grand Slam since the 2003 French Open, and comes after she lost in the second round at last year’s U.S. Open.

She missed the Australian Open last year as part of a 10-month layoff due to shoulder surgery, but said her shoul-der did not bother her Monday.

“I could be disappointed or I could just take it as it is and just go back on the court and just keep working,” Sharapova said. “I choose option two. A bad day’s not going to stop me from doing what I love. I’ll be back here on a Saturday of the second week, so you watch.”

Sharapova rallied from 5-2 down in the deciding set, hold-ing serve and then breaking Kirilenko to stay in the match. She dropped her own serve after giving Kirilenko double match point.

Farmers Insurance Group to sponsor Torrey Pines tourney

One week before the PGA Tour makes its way to Tor-rey Pines, the tournament formally known as the San Diego Open has found a title sponsor.

The Farmers Insurance Group has agreed to a deal for at least one year.

The PGA Tour said Monday that Farmers, a subsid-iary of Zurich Financial Services, has an option to be the title sponsor beyond 2010.

The tournament, formerly the Buick Invitational,

will be called the Farmers Insurance Open when it be-gins Jan. 28.

This is the fourth new title sponsor the PGA Tour has signed up in the last two years, along with Waste Man-agement (Phoenix), SBS (Kapalua) and The Greenbrier (West Virginia).

San Diego is the first PGA Tour event of the year that is broadcast on network television.

Danny Davis injures backA near lock for the Olympics, snowboarder

Danny Davis suffered a non-boarding related back injury and has been admitted to a Utah hospital Monday.

He was admitted to the hospital Sunday, the day after he won the Winter Dew Tour half-pipe contest at Snowbasin in Utah.

Details of his injuries were not available.Davis is good friends with Kevin Pearce,

the snowboarder who was injured Dec. 31 in practice and is in a Salt Lake City hospital in serious condition with a head injury.

About a week after Pearce’s injury, Davis won a Snowboarding Grand Prix event in Cal-ifornia in a run for the ages that some are call-ing with the greatest run in snowboarding his-tory—a performance he dedicated to Pearce.

No details about Davis’ injury has been re-vealed.

Google cyber-attack may have been inside job

International journalists in China said Monday that their Google e-mail accounts have been hacked in at-tacks similar to the ones against human rights activists that the search giant cited as a reason for considering pulling out of the country.

In announcing a possible exit from China last week, Google did not specify how the accounts with its Gmail e-mail service were hacked into or by whom. Informa-tion since then has trickled out.

The Foreign Correspondents’ Club of China sent an e-mail Monday to its members warning that reporters in at least two news bureaus in Beijing said their Gmail accounts had been broken into, with their e-mails sur-reptitiously forwarded to unfamiliar accounts.

Pot robber leaves pot shop empty-handed

A man made a botched attempt to rob a medical mar-ijuana dispensary yesterday afternoon in Denver, ac-cording to Denver police.

A police department spokesman said the man “walked into the dispensary at 4101 E. Wesley Ave., and started looking at various products,” reports The Denver Post. “After picking up some products, he approached the manager and pulled a gun and indicated he was going to take the merchandise without paying, said Jackson.”

However, he left the premises without the merchan-dise and fled in a car with a Colorado license plate of 873-OWC, reports the Post

First the Chihuahua, then the founder

Glen W. Bell Jr., an entrepreneur best known as the founder of the Taco Bell chain, has died. He was 86. Bell died Sunday at his home in Rancho Santa Fe, Ca-lif., according to a statement posted yesterday on the

Taco Bell Web site.Bell launched Taco Bell in 1962 in Downey after cut-

ting ties with his business partners and quickly expand-ing around Los Angeles. He sold the first Taco Bell franchise in 1964. In 1978, Bell sold his 868 Taco Bell restaurants to PepsiCo for $125 million in stock.

Taco Bell is now owned by Yum! Brands and is the largest Mexican fast-food chain in the nation, serving more than 36.8 million consumers each week in more than 5,600 U.S. locations. Bell is survived by his wife, Martha, three sisters, two sons, a daughter and four grandchildren.

Somali pirates bag$7 million ransom

A shootout between rival Somali pirate gangs over their biggest ransom ever threatened to turn an oil su-pertanker and the 28 hostages aboard into a massive fireball until bandits begged the international anti-pira-cy force for help, a negotiator said Monday.

A group of pirates showed up in two speedboats just before a $5.5 million ransom was to be dropped by parachute onto the Maran Centaurus, according to a Somali businessman responsible for the negotia-tions who spoke on condition of anonymity because he feared reprisals.

The stand off began Sunday, nearly two months after the supertanker was seized on Nov. 29 about 800 miles (1,300 kilometers) off the Somali coast. After weeks of wrangling, the pirates had finally settled on a $5.5 million ransom for the tanker, the Somali businessman said.

French let no good deed go unquestioned

The United Nations must investigate the dominant U.S. role in Haiti, a French minister said, claiming that international aid efforts were about helping Haiti, not “occupying” it, according to the United Kingdom Press Association.

“U.S. forces turned back a French aid plane carrying a field hospital from the damaged, congested airport in the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince last week, prompt-

ing a complaint from French co-operation minister Alain Joyandet. The plane landed safely the following day,” reports UKPA. “French foreign minister Bernard Kouchner warned governments and aid groups not to squabble as they try to get their aid into Haiti.”

“People always want it to be their plane that lands,” Mr Kouchner reportedly told UKPA. “(But) what’s im-portant is the fate of the Haitians.”

Health care reform bumped by Mass. campaigning

President Barack Obama stepped in to try to bolster the Democrat in a tight race to replace the late Senator Edward Kennedy, an effort meant to keep Republicans from gaining a seat that could stall Obama’s health care reform plan.

Obama campaigned over the weekend in Massachu-setts for Democrat Martha Coakley, the state attorney general, who faces a little known Republican state senator in the special election Tuesday. Democratic of-ficials said Monday they were readying a new TV ad for Coakley featuring Obama to run in the campaign’s final hours.

Meanwhile, the White House and congressional Democrats scrambled to come up with a fallback plan to pass health care legislation in case of a loss in Tues-day’s special election in Massachusetts.

Cameron full of bliss, Bullock and Streep kiss

James Cameron — who borrowed Leonardo Di-Caprio’s line from “Titanic” and declared himself “king of the world” when that film sailed to Oscar glory 12 years ago — positioned himself for a repeat with his Golden Globe wins Sunday for the sci-fi blockbuster “Avatar.” The tale of big, blue aliens in conflict with rapacious humans on planet Pandora earned the Globes for best drama and director, prizes that also preceded the Oscar run of “Titanic.”

Globe acting winners also firmed up their Oscar prospects, including dramatic-performance recipients Sandra Bullock for the football tale “The Blind Side” and Jeff Bridges for the country-music story “Crazy

Heart.” The musical or comedy acting prizes went to Robert Downey Jr. for the crime romp “Sherlock Hol-mes” and Meryl Streep for the Julia Child tale “Julie & Julia.”

Bullock and Streep had previously tied for the Crit-ics Choice Movie Awards on Friday in the Best Actress category; a win they celebrated with a kiss.

HAVE YOU BEEN TUBING YET? The snow might not be perfect on the mountain, but it is perfect at Meadow Mountain Tubing hill. Just minutes from Vail and Avon, you can spend the afternoon with the kids being pulled up the mountain by a tow and sliding down the hill with excitement. Owners Bob and Kim will be thrilled to show you their hill side of adventures with Melissa and Dane to pull you up the hill. There are also great locals discounts on tubing and snowmobiling! Call today to make an appointment 827-4155 or stop by Thursday through Monday each week for great family fun. Dane by the way is single, so if you are a single lady in the Vail Valley, you should stop by just to say hello.

OSCAR, BRIAN AND SARAH just got some new lights installed at Old Forge in Edwards, and it makes the pizza look even better (if that’s possible). It’s so bright they need to wear shades. Brian’s glasses actually double as onion slicing goggles.

their Honduras trip, Feb. 20-27, and still have some room.

SCW concentrates on building and repairing schools in Third World countries. The Haiti Task Force is figuring out what they can do, and how they can best help the recovery.

The tasks are daunting. Haiti needs everything. Of course, the poorest country in the Western Hemi-sphere always has. The Haiti Task Force needs struc-tural engineers to figure out if surviving schools are safe, and volunteers to assist with the clean-up ef-forts.

If a school can be repaired, they’ll need project managers to handle money and for project oversight, architects and engineers, contractors for repairs and building projects.

If a school cannot be repaired, they need project managers to coordinate efforts, contractors to help with the demolition and cleanup, and planners and architects to plan and design new schools.

Of course, they need fundraisers to help raise the money to pay for it all.

Volunteer making the trip can expect to pay be-tween $1,500 and $2,000 to cover their expenses.

Not their first disasterThey’ve done this before.In 2003, Schools for the Children of the World

developed its National School Facility Master Plan, when the organization was responding to problems it faced in Honduras.

In Honduras, they inventoried the condition of 12,901 schools and 20,204 buildings.

It works so well that both governments and non-governmental organizations use the plan to identify and understand areas of need.

Donations can be made through Schools for the Children of the World.

More ways to giveAmerican Furniture Warehouse at Riverwalk is a

drop-off location for donations to Haiti. They are ac-cepting personal supplies, toiletries and other neces-sary survival

items and can accept tax-deductible donations as well. American Furniture Warehouse is partnering with CBS4 to provide relief and rescue funds to sup-port the survivors of the Haiti earthquake.
