THE UPDATE

Trout Unlimited asked people to hold an electric stick as they walked through frigid, fast-moving water.

They had to beat the volunteers off with a stick, but not an electric stick.

Every spring for the past 20 years, Trout Unlimited and the Colorado Division of Wildlife has surveyed the Eagle River’s health in eight loca-tions.

We learn several important things

when they do this. One is that “The Electric Sticks” is a great name for a country band.

We also learn that the river has been getting healthier and the fish are get-ting bigger and more plentiful, thanks to efforts to clean up the Superfund site above Minturn.

They found some 12-year old fish, 12 inches long. Fish don’t grow very fast when there’s zinc in the water. You don’t grow very fast either when you’re ingesting heavy metal, and we ain’t talkin’ Mott the Hoople.

About the biggest fish they find in the Eagle River is 16 inches, despite what your fishing guide might tell you.

Maggie Emmer, 17, was raised here and has been fishing since she grew bigger than the trout she was chasing.

“It’s a little humbling to see how many fish are in this river,” she said, hauling another net filled with trout to be measured and weighed by DOW wildlife biologists.

Fuxi holding huge sale . . . County ends water warAurora, Colorado Springs agree to settle

An out-of-court deal bans two Front Range cities from pulling more water out of the Holy Cross Wilderness area.

The settlement keeps Aurora and Colorado Springs complete-ly out of wilderness areas, and slashes the size of the projects.

The settlement:• Moves a proposed reser-

voir at the mouth of Homestake Creek out of the wilderness area, and slashes the size from 30,000 acre feet to 9,000 acre feet.

• Bans more diversion points from the wilderness area to move the water to the Front Range.

• Eliminates a 90,000 acre foot underground water storage

facility under Camp Hale.• Bans the cities from pulling

90,000 acre feet of ground wa-ter out of Camp Hale, reducing it to three or four wells pump-ing s total of 4,000 acre feet.

• Forces any project to go through Eagle County’s land-use approval process. The county can stop any project that is not beneficial to both the Western Slope and the Front Range.

• Caps the amount of trans-mountain diversions from the Eagle River basin.

• Eagle County, Aurora and Colorado Springs will meet on an ongoing basis to design and develop projects.

• The county’s staff will as-sist in developing projects that meet the cities’ needs and the county’s land use objectives.

2 Vail Mountaineer Friday, April 9, 2010

A House committee on Wednesday backed legisla-tion that would allow supermarkets to sell full-strength beer, wine and liquor by purchasing existing liquor stores.

House Bill 1279, sponsored by Rep. Liane “Buffie” McFadyen, D-Pueblo, was backed by the House Busi-ness Affairs and Labor Committee on a 6-5 vote. The bill now heads to the House Finance Committee.

The controversial measure is viewed by some as a backdoor to allowing supermarkets to sell beer, wine and spirits. Grocery stores that earn at least 51 percent of their annual revenues from food sales would be al-lowed to purchase liquor stores within 1,000 feet and sell beer, wine and liquor inside those stores.

Liquor store owners and craft brewers primarily op-poses the bill, while supermarkets and free market sup-porters are in favor of the legislation.

For critics, the issue is about potentially putting an es-timated 1,600 liquor stores in Colorado — the ones not within the 1,000-foot rule — out of business. There’s also concerns about increasing underage drinking be-cause supermarket clerks may not be as well trained or vigilant at checking identification and being able to identify a fake.

An amendment to the legislation, however, addresses some of those concerns by requiring clerks to be 21 years old if selling alcohol.

Still, Ron Vaughn, owner of Argonaut Wine and Li-quor in Denver, expressed grave concern yesterday over passage of the bill.

“Colorado is unique in so many ways, we have bet-

ter pricing and selection by comparison … and it’s because we’re independent,” Vaughn testified. “That would change with this bill. Does Colorado have to be like other states because some large out-of-state cor-poration wants it that way? The Colorado consumer is smarter than a public relations campaign.”

Supermarket executives, however, defended the bill, arguing that it would do little to decrease craft brew se-lections in Colorado, while only improving consumer convenience.

David Spohr, category director for beer for Safeway, said store managers would be able to get craft brews approved for the shelf in as little as one day. He added, however, that the company wouldn’t just be approving all distributors that walk through the company’s doors.

“I’m not going to say we will carry every item that’s been trickled through a bathtub,” he said.

Dan Clayton, real estate director for Safeway’s Den-ver division, said that in Wyoming, where a similar law is in place, only about 50 percent of Safeway stores have liquor licenses. He added that when an existent li-quor store is purchased by Safeway, the purchase price is anywhere from $50,000 to well into the six figures, which could prove valuable to liquor store owners.

McFadyen said her bill is about leveling the playing field.

“House Bill 1279 addresses Colorado’s liquor laws in a very phased-in approach,” she said. “It establishes a level playing field and fair competition; creates a vol-untary process for liquor store owners who choose to sell their business and their license; allows liquor sales in safe and secure grocery stores; provides increased convenience for all Coloradans; and preserves Colo-rado liquor wholesalers and the craft brew industry.”

But Laura Long, a spokeswoman for Colorado Springs-based Bristol Brewery, said the craft-brew industry would take a huge hit if HB 1279 becomes law. She pointed out that Colorado has about 114 craft brewers, which is providing a vibrant industry.

“Some small craft brewers will disappear if access to market is limited,” she testified.

With a shake of the head, a pregnant Leadville wom-an pleaded not guilty Wednesday to a charge of helping foreign terrorists who authorities say were plotting to kill a Swedish artist.

Jamie Paulin-Ramirez, 31, entered the silent plea to avoid giving prosecutors a sample of her voice. The government evidence includes hard drives and other computer files that may contain voice recordings, and her lawyer did not want to provide a sample for com-parison.

“If there’s any voice recordings, I would not want to be creating evidence against her,” said lawyer Jeremy Ibrahim, who spent several years at the Justice Depart-ment.

Paulin-Ramirez, then a single mother and nursing student, left Colorado for Ireland in the fall with her 6-year-old son to join a Pennsylvania woman she had met online, then married an Algerian terrorism suspect the day she arrived, according to the indictment un-sealed Friday. E-mails between the American women suggest a mutual intent to support a Muslim jihad, or holy war, authorities charge.

Co-defendant Colleen LaRose faces a life term on accusations that she pledged to carry out the murder of artist Lars Vilks, who angered Muslims with a drawing depicting the Prophet Muhammad with a dog’s body. The lesser charge filed against Paulin-Ramirez carries a maximum 15-year term.

Paulin-Ramirez, who is 12 weeks pregnant, agreed Wednesday to be detained until her trial, which could be many months away. The judge declined to set a date, given the complex nature of the case.

In court, she wore a prison jumpsuit and wire-frame eyeglasses, and her face appeared fuller than in past photos. Her straight blond hair hung loose down her back.

Ibrahim stressed that his client had chosen to return to Philadelphia after learning about the charges.

“She came voluntarily. She didn’t choose to fly to

any other state, or any other country,” he said after the brief hearing.

He had met with her in prison Saturday, a day after she was arrested landing at Philadelphia International Airport, and described her as distraught over her son. The boy has been placed with social services.

Ibrahim also noted that his client had been released by Irish authorities after an anti-terrorism sweep last month that included her, her husband and five others. Hours after the roundup, the LaRose indictment was unsealed in Philadelphia. But Paulin-Ramirez was later released.

“That tells me that, at least in Ireland, there was no evidence the Irish authorities had of an illegal act,” Ibrahim said.

LaRose had returned to Philadelphia in October and cooperated with authorities for a time, although it’s not clear whether she is still doing so, according to Rep. Charles Dent. He represents her district and serves on House intelligence and homeland security committees.

LaRose, 46, of Pennsburg, has also pleaded not guilty to the four charges lodged against her, including the plot to kill Vilks. He was never harmed.

Neither American woman had friends or family members attend their court appearances in Philadel-phia. Ibrahim suggested his client’s family could not afford to make the trip from Leadville.

Acquaintances describe both women as isolated, troubled individuals who spent increasing amounts of time on the Internet, where LaRose allegedly used the online name “Jihad Jane.”

There is no evidence the women ever met before they moved to Ireland to join what LaRose hoped, accord-ing to the indictment, would be “a training camp as well as a home.”

In court Wednesday, Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer Arbittier Williams did not object to Paulin-Ramirez’s silent plea. Prosecutors have otherwise declined to comment on the case.

The seventh annual Malay Day hit Beaver Creek yes-terday, combining all facets of park and pipe skiing and snowboarding to determine the best all-around rider.

Malay Day is held every year in remembrance of Josh Ma-lay, a Beaver Creek rider who lost his life in 2004 while on a photo shoot for Transworld Snowboard Magazine in the Pyrenees.

Josh Malay was not only an accomplished, up-and-coming pro snowboarder, but also a talented designer of ski and snowboard graphics.

He connected and discov-ered similarities with extreme skier Seth Morrison – a Vail native who helped transform and popularize the sport of ex-treme skiing.

Malay was asked to design

the graphics for Morrison’s “Seth Pistol” – a revolutionary ski manufactured by K2 that was one of the first big, fat, all-mountain/powder boards to be consumed on a massive scale.

Transworld Magazine point-ed out that the four ski pa-trollers that responded to his fatal accident arrived on K2 Seth Pistols, which featured the unforgettable neon yellow graphics designed by Josh.

The event is a three-part competition – half-pipe, rails, and big air – open to guys and girls, skiers and snowboarders of all ages and skill levels. The best overall skier or rider will win a 2010/2011 Epic Pass.

SSCV big mountain juniors end season

Ski and Snowboard Club Vail’s Big Mountain Team wrapped up an awesome season at Crystal Mountain, Washington over the weekend.

Big mountain is a judged competition that combines all the facets of skiing technical, gnarly lines, forcing riders to contend with several different types of snow conditions and natural terrain features. Competitors are judged on fluidity, style and air.

The fifth and final stop on the Junior Tour brought these young athletes to some of Washington’s premier terrain with am-ple amounts of new snow, but some foul weather made it interesting.

After the qualifying day on Elk Chutes, Lizzie Seibert, Christian Nichols, Erik Hilb and Aiden Stege advanced to Finals on Crystal’s famed Silver King.

In response to the gnarly weather, Crys-tal closed the lifts after the athletes arrived at the base of the venue. Then, after a 30-minute hike, high winds blew their skis off their shoulders left the young competi-

tors seeking shelter in the trees between big gusts.

Despite the winds and poor visibility, more than 50 skiers from across North America took on the steep, technical condi-tions and rose to the test on one of the most difficult venues they faced all season.

For the 15-16 age group, Lizzie Seibert and Christian Nichols recorded some of the highest line scores at Finals finishing fourth and 13th. And in the younger divi-sion, Aiden Stege skied a fluid line taking 11th, while Erik Hilb charged the course with an aggressive run, finishing 19th.

Overall on the season, SSCV’s Big Mountain Team finished with some im-pressive results.

Lizzie Seibert was fourth overall for girls, ages 15-17.

For the boys’ older division, Christian Nichols claimed 12th and Trevor Haley took 34th.

For the 12-14 division, Mitch Gilman led the charge in eighth, followed by Aid-en Stege in ninth, Jack Nichols, 10th, Erik Hilb, 15th and Cal Deline, 17th.

Franz “Fuxi” Fuchsberger is clearing out the store.If you’ve been in the market for some new racing

gear, now’s the time to head over to Fuxi’s in Edwards for his end-of-the-season blow-out sale with everything up to 50 percent off all this weekend.

Franzi is bit of a legend in this valley. He’s got knack for tearing it up down the racecourse and for finding high-quality products from all over country and the world at bulk prices.

His products might be inexpensive, but they’re cer-tainly not cheap, and that’s why you see so many locals sporting the unmistakable Fuxi Fox logo on their jack-ets, goggles, helmets and other gear.

Franzi was born and raised in a small town of Tam-sweg, Austria. At 19, Franz decided to pursue working in the local ski resorts in Austria. This is where he real-ized that the world of skiing could open new doors for him with a chance of lifetime opportunities.

After successfully completing his ski instructors’ exam for full certification at the Sports Government Institute in St. Christoph, Austria, Franz decided to ex-plore the skiing in America.

Only knowing a few words of English, he landed his first US skiing job at Boyne Mountain, Michigan, where he spent the 1983 and ‘84 seasons. Franz then moved on to Big Sky, Montana, working there for three years.

In ‘87, Franz decided to make a move to Vail, and

since then has been killing it on the racing and powder 8 scenes.

After Schneider Austria entrusted Franz in October 2000 with the exclusive distributorship for the USA, Franz announced his retirement from the World Pow-der 8 and Synchro Slalom Circuit, just after winning the 2001 World Powder 8 Championships.

Franz continues to work directly with race organiza-tions like USSA Masters, various Ski Clubs, Colleges and racing individuals.

If you’ve never met the man, you’ve got to swing by this weekend and talk to Fuxi. He’s a great talker and he’ll turn you on to some great products. They’ve got all kinds of freeski and race gear, as well as some ca-sual stuff for around town and summer sports gear.

His shop is located across from Riverwalk in the Ed-wards Business Center just off route 6 in Edwards.

Whiskey Blanket at Whiskey Jack’s, Vail

Whiskey Blanket is a group of talented artists bound by a passion for making music. Since 2000, they have fully dedicated their lives to creating an innovative sound that has proven accessible to an enormously wide variety of listeners.

Incorporating jazz, classical, and latin influences, their original brand of music stays rooted in the tra-ditions of hip-hop while embracing the more melodic nature of other genres.

Consisting of three members, the band brings together a unique combination of sounds. Steakhouse is emcee, on the turntable, recording and mixing engineer. Funny Biz also emcees, performs beatbox and plays the cello, while Sloppy Joe emcees and plays the violin.

Whiskey Blanket has headlined multiple sold out shows at the legendary Fox Theater in Boulder Colo-rado, in addition to performing all around the U.S. with such artists as Coolio, Masta Ace, Living Legends, The Pharcyde, Dj Abilities, Pigeon John, Flava Flav, Old Dirty Bastard, DJ Mike Relm, Cunning Linguists and One Be Lo.

Check them out tonight at Whiskey Jack’s in Vail Village at 10 p.m.

The Fox Street All Stars at Finnegan’s, Avon

Originating from varied musical backgrounds, the founding trio of drummer Eric Low, guitarist and lead vocalist Jonathan “Skippy” Huvard, and guitarist James Dumm strive to be masters of adaptability.

“We can play a country blues honky-tonk show, a 10 piece funk extravaganza or a melt your face off gui-tar rock-a-thon,” Huvatd says. Skippy brings the Dirty Southern Blues feel, Eric adds a funky energetic New Orleans approach and guitar monster James is a human jukebox.

Dave Solzberg and Bill McKay (on bass and keys) round out the wall of sound with their seasoned skill and intensity. With the wide range of influences that are shared among the band members, The Fox Street All Stars have quickly built a catalog of cover songs and originals that numbers in the hundreds, allowing

for vastly different setlists from show to show.They come heavily endorsed by our friends Frogs

Gone Fishin’. Show starts at 9:30 p.m.

Boxcar Daisies at Kirby Cosmos BBQ, Minturn

Minturn’s Boxcar Daisies is quickly becoming one of the area’s most intriguing musical groups, and they re-cently picked a third Daisy in Jackson Hole. Comprised of singer/songwriters KT Homes and Elli Gauthier, the powerhouse duo takes listeners on a mesmerizing jour-ney – sometimes whimsical, sometimes somber but always heartfelt. Playing soulful originals and the oc-casional covers, their sound is timeless and yet relevant to the times; think early jazz vocals with just a handful of sawdust. The band’s strengths lie in their silky har-monies, melodic prowess, and unique instrumentation. The show starts at 7 p.m.

Supersonic Shrimp, Anti-M, Assets of the Universe at The Saltwater Cowboy,

AvonSupersonic Shrimp is a new local three-piece rock

band, featuring wizard guitarist Steve Karanbay, drum-mer Shawn McKeown and their bassist known simply as Conan.

“It’s like guitar-oriented classic rock,” says McKe-own “We’re like a power trio, doing covers of Hendrix and Cream – a lot of that sixties and seventies guitar rock – delivered with authority, like it should be. We definitely rock it out. It’s not overly aggressive, like heavy metal, but it’s fun and high energy.”

While Anti-M’s sound is unique you may be able to hear some of their influences such as the Dreamside, Within Temptation, Garbage, Lacuna Coil, The Gather-ing, and Depeche Mode.

Assets of the Universe “pleasure themselves by loos-ening definitions, basking in colliding influences and sustained ironic revisions. Comprised of opposite mu-sical intuitions, they meet somewhere between acces-sibility and vision,” their MySpace page says.

Strike two!For the second straight season,

Majestic, the athletic wear com-pany that manufactures jerseys for all teams in MLB, has had a major spelling blunder.

When Giants reserve Eugenio Velez took the field for a double switch in the seventh inning at

Houston on Wednesday night, he had no idea his road grays read: “San Francicso.”

Last season, Majastic was respon-sible for the Washington “Natinals” debacle.

The Giants say the bug will be fixed by the team’s next road trip.

Valverde reclaims lead in Basque Country, Sanchez wins stage-4

Spaniard Samuel Sanchez won the mountainous fourth stage of the Tour of Basque Country on Thurs-day, while Alejandro Valverde re-claimed the overall lead.

Sanchez, the Olympic road race champion, pulled away during the

ascent of the Alto de Uzartza to fin-ish 2 seconds ahead of Valverde, who had taken the first two stages of the six-leg race before surrender-ing the lead to Oscar Freire. Freire described the leader’s jersey as a consolation prize because he took

second three straight stages. Valverde leads RadioShack’s

Chris Horner, who was fourth on Thursday, by one second in the overall standings. Today’s fifth stage from Arrate to Orio features six mountain climbs.

Samuel Dumoulin of France led a sprint finish to win the fourth stage of the Circuit de la Sarthe in northwest France, and top-ranked Spaniard Luis Leon Sanchez retained the overall lead on Thursday.

Dumoulin, who rides for Cofidis, finished the 112-mile jaunt from Angers to Pre-en-Pail in 4 hours, 50 minutes, 42 seconds. He outpaced countryman Ju-lien Simon and Xavier Florencio of Spain, while 24 other riders had the same time.

Sanchez, of the Caisse d’Epargne team, has the over-

all lead by 8 seconds over Tiago Machado of Portugal. He’s also 13 seconds ahead of Simon.

The course Thursday favored breakaway riders, and several took their chances before finally getting over-taken by the fast-moving pack within the last half a mile.

The final stage Friday is a 106-mile trek from Ab-baye l’Epau to Sille-le-Guillaume.

Armstrong pulled out of the Circuit de la Sarthe be-fore the second day due to illness.

Tiger tops many exciting stories at The Masters

Tiger Woods was given a warm reception when he stepped on the first tee at Augusta National, and Curtis Strange described it perfect-ly as business as usual for the world No. 1.

Its was actually better than usual for Tiger as he had never broken 70 on the first round of The Mas-ters; that all changed Thursday in a round that included two eagles.

Woods return was the biggest story, but the day belonged to Fred Couples. Couples wore skater look-ing shoes and no socks in his open-ing afternoon round and is alone on top of the leaderboard at -6. The

crowd favorite who recently turned 50 has been taring up the Champi-ons Tour this year and continued his fine play converting 7 birdies to match 1 bogey for a 66.

Tom Watson was the big morning story as he backed up his historic performance at Turnberry last year by making birdie the 18th hole to cap an opening-round 67.

Phil Mickelson, Englishman Lee Westwood and Korean Y.E. Yang all shot 67 to give Watson company at the top of the leaderboard among the morning rounds at Augusta Na-tional.

Watson was finishing his round

minutes after Tiger Woods teed off at 1:42 p.m. ET with K.J. Choi and Matt Kuchar.

Woods started the round as he would like with two pars and a bird-ie and finished the front nine with an eagle on 8 and a birdie on 9. Woods narrowly missed eagle on 13, made the second eagle of his round on 15, and missed a short birdie putt on 18 to finish at -4.

Woods plays a morning round tomorrow and will likely be done when coverage starts.

When asked what the day meant to him he said, “I’m two shots off the lead.”

Flyover targeting Tiger disrupts MastersOne Tiger hater attempted to rat-

tle Woods by paying a pilot to tow a banner that read “Tiger: Did you mean bootyism” behind a plane during Tiger’s first hole at Augusta National. The sign is referencing Tiger’s proclamation that he has re-cently turned to Buddhism to help him through his recent ordeal.

A second fly by came on No. 10 when the sign read “Sex Addict? Yeah. Right. Sure. Me Too!”

A Toledo, Ohio, company is the ad agency that handled the arrange-ments of the flyover but would not disclose who financed the air ad. Jim Miller of Air America Ariel Ads

said there will be more on Friday, a total of six messages.

Miller also would not identify the air strip they planned to use nor would he discuss the cost.

Rhonda Cook of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that the plane circled over the golf club even though the Federal Aviation Administration has issued an “ad-visory,” asking aircraft to stay at least two miles away from the golf club during play. Richmond County Sheriff’s Office Capt. Jim Griffin said the law enforcement agency had no authority over the plane and he didn’t know if any laws were vio-lated. Because “it’s up in the air and we don’t deal with federal law.”

Tiger said he was not aware of the plane flying above while it was hap-pening.

been expected to press Washington’s case for Beijing to ease exchange-rate controls that critics say distort trade and keep China’s currency artificially low.

An undervalued Chinese currency makes Chinese goods cheaper for American consumers but hurts U.S. exporters by making their products more expensive in China.

Arms pact could face Senate fight

Top Democratic allies of President Barack Obama called yesterday for quick Senate ratification of a US-Russia treaty committing the former Cold War foes to major nuclear arms cuts, according to the Agency French Press.

Obama has called on the Senate to meet that time-table, but Democrats and their two independent allies hold only 59 of the 67 votes needed to approve the trea-ty, meaning they will need to rally eight Republicans, reports the AFP.

With November mid-term elections on the horizon and a bitterly partisan climate in Washington, prospects for doing so were unclear, and Republicans have sig-naled strong concerns over the new accord, writes the AFP.

Berkeley students accused of spy

links in IranIran’s intelligence minister appeared to harden the

country’s position on three recent UC Berkeley gradu-ates who have been held there since last summer, ac-cusing them of having links to U.S. intelligence ser-vices, reports the San Francisco Chronicle.

“The charge was made during an interview on state television, portions of which were described on Iran’s English-language satellite channel Press TV today,” ac-cording to the Chronicle. “It comes a month after Sarah Shourd, 31, and Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal, both 27, were allowed to call home.”

According to the Chronicle, the three were arrested on July 31 after hiking across the border from Iraq. Friends said the three had been backpacking to see a waterfall during a break from teaching jobs in Damas-cus, Syria. In the report, their families maintain the hik-ers strayed across the unmarked border accidentally.

Three years of a woman’s life spent spending

Women spend an average of two years and ten months shopping during their lives, says a study, cited in the Sun.

“Buying essentials, including food and clothes, ac-counts for 25,184 hours and 53 minutes during 63 years,” reports the Sun. “Researchers found that fe-males make 301 shopping trips - totalling 399 hours, 46 minutes - annually.”

The Sun reported that the survey of 2,000 women showed they window shop at least 51 times. They buy food on an average of 84 occasions, taking a total of 94 hours and 55 minutes.

DC teacher salary max jumps 87K to 147K

School districts around the country are eyeing a tentative deal that would make unionized teachers in Washington, D.C., eligible for merit pay, although dis-trict officials know replicating the model will hardly be easy, reports the Wall Street Journal.

The deal between the district and the local teachers’ union, announced Wednesday, is a coup for D.C.’s ag-gressive schools chancellor, Michelle Rhee, who had long sought to inject performance criteria into teacher evaluations for her 45,000-student system, according to the Journal.

The report stated that teachers in the D.C. system can currently make a maximum of $87,000, but under the new system, that would rise to up to $147,000.

King of Punk dead at 64The former manager of the Sex Pistols and one of the

seminal figures of the punk rock era, Malcolm McLar-en, died yesterday, his son said. He was 64. Joe Corre his father died of an aggressive form of cancer in Swit-zerland, declining to give the exact location.

“He was the original punk rocker and revolutionized the world,” Corre told The Associated Press in a tele-phone interview. “He’s somebody I’m incredibly proud of. He’s a real beacon of a man for people to look up to.”

McLaren is best known for his work with the Pis-tols, whose violence, swearing, and antiestablishment antics shocked Britain and revolutionized the music scene. The band’s chaotic career owed much to their manager’s talent for self-promotion.

No offers for Nicolas’ cage

Nicolas Cage is leaving Bel-Air. And not by choice. The fate of the sprawling Tudor man-sion owned by the actor, who won an Oscar for his role in “Leaving Las Vegas,” was decided Wednesday far from the baronial estate, reports the LA Times.

It was up for auction Wednesday morning -- along with a handful of other foreclosed properties -- on the steps of the county courthouse in Pomona, the Times reports.

After a rapid-fire spiel by the auc-tioneer, the bidding was opened at $10.4 million, far less than the $35 million that Cage had tried unsuccessfully to sell the house for, according to the report.

Beer ban at work causes strike

Several hundred warehouse workers and drivers at Danish brewer Carlsberg halted work for a second day today to protest a company decision to limit beer drinking at work to lunch breaks, according to the Irish Times.

The strike in Denmark followed the company’s deci-

sion on April 1st to introduce new rules for employees on beer drinking at work, said Jens Bekke, spokesman at the world’s fourth largest brewer, in the Times’ report.

“There has been free beer, water and soft drinks ev-erywhere,” he said in the report. “Yesterday, beers were removed from all refrigerators. The only place you can get a beer in future is in the canteen, at lunch.”

Mr Bekke said in the Times’ report drivers retained an old right to three beers per day outside lunch hours, and warehouse workers claimed the same right.

Qatari diplomats are funny guys

A Qatari diplomat was on his way to an official visit with an imprisoned al-Qaida sleeper agent when he touched off a bomb scare by slipping into an airline bathroom for a smoke, officials said yesterday as the diplomat prepared to leave the U.S.

Questions remained about why a diplomat on an official trip, like Al-Madadi, would apparently flout airline security rules. Law enforcement officials said Al-Madadi later joked that he had been trying to light his shoe — an apparent reference to the 2001 so-called shoe bomber, Richard Reid.

No explosives were found on the plane and authori-ties said they don’t think Al-Madadi was trying to hurt anyone during Wednesday’s scare. He enjoys diplo-matic immunity from U.S. prosecution and will not be criminally charged, authorities said.

Trial location decision coming soon

The United States will decide where to try self-con-fessed 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other accused “within a number of weeks,” U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said yesterday, in an Agency French Press report.

“This is still under review. The initial determination to try the case in Manhattan is under review. I expect that we will have a final decision within a number of weeks,” he told a news conference in Madrid, reported by the AFP.

“Holder announced in November that Sheikh Mo-hammed and his co-defendants would be tried in a fed-eral court in Lower Manhattan just steps from where the World Trade Center once stood,” reports the AFP. “But the plan for the “trial of the century” was met with a fierce backlash from Republican lawmakers who have introduced legislation to require a military trial at an army base.”

Oil hits $87 a barrel, then tumbles back to $85.39

Oil prices fell yesterday, dropping further away from recent 18-month highs amid concerns of softening de-mand and growing US crude inventories. New York’s main contract, light sweet crude for delivery in May, ended the day down 46 cents to 85.39 dollars a bar-rel, after spiking above 87 dollars on Tuesday, reports News Asia.

London’s Brent North Sea crude for May fell 70 cents to 84.89 dollars. Oil prices took a hit in early New York trade as equities sank and the dollar rose,

according to News Asia.“The stronger dollar makes dollar-priced oil more

expensive for buyers using weaker currencies and therefore tends to dent demand,” reports News Asia. “The greenback’s later slide helped oil prices to claw back some ground, but not enough to finish up on the day, as traders weighed higher-than-expected US job-less claims.”

Raquel Welch: It’s hard when husband No. 4 goes and you have to look for 5

Legendary beauty Raquel Welch is struggling to find love in her senior years, because men her age would rather date much younger women, reports the San Francisco Chroni-cle.

The former Hollywood pin-up has been married four times and is cur-rently separated from her fourth hus-band, Richard Palmer, and finding a mature man has been a challenge for the star, who turns 70 in September, according to the Chronicle.

She reportedly says, “The younger men are not all they’re cracked up to be. I think it would be nice to be with somebody in their 60s but all the guys that age wants to be with somebody in their 30s.

Pimp My Ride’s producer suspected in wife’s death“Pimp My Ride” and former “Survivor” producer

Bruce Beresford-Redman is a suspect in his wife’s death days after reporting her missing in the resort city of Cancun, a Mexican official said Thursday. The body of Monica Beresford-Redman was found Thursday in a sewer at the swanky Moon Palace resort where the family was on vacation, according to Bello Rodriguez, the attorney general for Quintana Roo state, where Cancun is located.

Rodriguez said a security guard at the hotel saw the

couple arguing Monday night and said Beresford-Red-man tried to hit her. Beresford-Redman, who has been detained as a suspect, had scratches on his neck and officials were doing toxicology tests to determine if he had consumed drugs, Rodriguez said. The cause of death has not been determined.

Thursday was orb dayNASA says a newly discovered asteroid whizzed

harmlessly past Earth yesterday.The asteroid dubbed 2010 GA6 flew safely by the

planet shortly after 4 p.m. PDT.At the time of its closest pass, the 71-foot-wide space

rock was 223,000 miles away from Earth. That’s about 16,000 miles closer than the moon.

NASA routinely tracks asteroids and comets that make close approaches to Earth. In January, another small asteroid made an even closer approach to Earth, passing within 76,000 miles.

Very strange bedfellow in Boulder

A 20-year-old Boulder man was arrested early Sun-day after police said he crawled naked into a woman’s bed, then refused to cooperate with officers who arrived at the apartment, reports the Denver Post.

“Boulder police were called to a woman’s apartment in the 1000 block of 12th Street about 4:30 a.m. Sun-day on a report that an unknown man — later identified as Stuart Wilkinson — had crawled into bed with the woman while she slept, according to police spokes-woman Sarah Huntley,” reports the Post. “The woman told officers she hurried out of bed and went into her roommate’s room to call police, Huntley said.”

Officers determined that another roommate had come back from a party with Wilkinson, who wandered into the wrong room by mistake, Huntley said in the report. Wilkinson, who officers said was drunk, refused to co-operate with police when they knocked on the bedroom door and ordered him to come out, Huntley said in the Post’s report.

for a few minutes - the fish, not the biologists - they’re returned to the river to live happily ever after, and turn out a whole herd of baby trout.

How it worksThe volunteers wade through down the river with

their electric sticks in one hand and a fish net in the other. Electric cables run out the backs of their electric sticks and through the water, connecting them to two big generators on the river’s edge.

They are smiling and laughing with one another as they do this.

The fish are attracted to the electric current, swim-ming nearer and nearer like a conservative to a tax cut. When the fish get near enough, they’re stunned by the electricity and just roll over, like an Obamaniac at a campaign rally.

The volunteers, the ones up to their thighs in frigid water with electric sticks in their hands, net the fish and hand them over to another volunteer, who hauls the over to be weighed and measured.

If the fish are healthy, the river is healthy. This year, they’re both healthy, as they’ve been for the past sev-eral years.

That wasn’t always the case.“This started because there was concern about the

water quality,” said Kendall Bakich, with the Division of Wildlife.

There should have been concern. Most of the Eagle River was downstream from the Superfund site above Minturn. Metals leached out of the mine, turning the river orange and the rocks red.

Red Rocks is great for an amphitheater. It’s bad for the river.

The mine water started spilling into the river, and in 1993 the cleanup started.

It gets a little better every year.This week, they turned up 400 brown trout below

Minturn. They found 12 when they started doing this two decades ago.

They were near Arrowhead yesterday, turning up hundreds of trout in a 100-yard stretch of the Eagle River. There were a couple dozen 20 years back.

The day before, they counted and weighed 150 healthy trout at Two Elk. Years ago they found two or three - or none.

“All the tens of millions of dollars that have been spent on cleaning up the river and the mine has been worth it,” said John Woodling, a retired DOW officer helping with this week’s project.

You’ll be glad to know that almost none of that money came from you, the taxpayer. But it might have come

from you, the CBS/Westinghouse customer.Corporations buy the darndest things, when they de-

vour each other.Westinghouse bought Viacom, then CBS bought

Westinghouse. It’s a little like remembering that Cush begat Nimrod, except in this case the toxic assets really are toxic.

Cleaning up the mine is sort of like building the country’s interstate highway system. About 10 percent of the money was spent on 90 percent of the highway system, because it was pretty easy.

The other 90 percent of the money went to build stuff like the road through Glenwood Canyon.

“They’ve taken out all the easy stuff,” Woodling said. “Now they’re arguing about how clean is clean enough.”

The case goes all the way back to the 1970s, and centers on wilder-ness water rights. It was scheduled to go to trial in June. The settlement reached this week brings the case to an amicable end.

They agreed to cooperate with authorities in Eagle County and the rest of the Western Slope to cap the amount of trans-mountain diver-sions from the Eagle River basin.

Among those authorities is the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District (ERWSD) and the Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority.

“The cities agreeing to forever abandon additional water rights within the wilderness area is sig-nificant. Eagle County’s renewed focus to work through tough issues over the past few months to settle a 15-year-old case provides a great public benefit by protecting the Holy Cross Wilderness Area and our watershed,” said Bob Warner, ERWSD board chairman.

Previous boards of county com-missioners were adamant that the proposed projects have as little im-pact as possible on the area’s natu-ral resources.

“We have always insisted these projects be realistic in scope and lo-cated outside the wilderness area,”

said Tom Stone, former Eagle County commissioner. “Any new project will need to be reviewed carefully and it appears this settle-ment provides a process to make that happen.”

Aurora Mayor Ed Tauer helped push through the settlement. His father was mayor of Aurora during the contentious Homestake II hear-ings in the late 1980s. The current Mayor Tauer approached the Eagle County commissioners, asking for talks outside the courtroom.

Those talks eventually led to the settlement.

“What started as a battle has be-come Colorado’s best east-west partnership,” said Tauer. “It turns out that through a little listening we can preserve wild areas, support the river and help cities. The Eagle Val-ley team is a model for our state.”

Eagle County Commissioner Jon Stavney helped facilitate the talks with Aurora and Colorado Springs,.

“It’s good for both sides to have an agreed upon process that avoids expensive legal posturing and works toward a right-sized, mutu-ally beneficial outcome,” Stavney said. “I’m proud to be a part of this agreement that stands midpoint be-

tween entrenched battles of the past and solutions on the horizon that will occur years after we’ve left of-fice.”

The Homestake Partners’ wa-ter rights in the upper Eagle River basin were first developed by John Elliot in the 1940s and 50s, who envisioned water diversions from the mountains to the faster growing Front Range. In 1952, Elliot sold those rights to the cities of Aurora and Colorado Springs. The cities subsequently developed several surface diversions, including the Homestake Reservoir and the trans-mountain Homestake Tunnel.

However, the cities did not devel-op all of their decreed rights before the Holy Cross Wilderness Area was established 1980.

The State of Colorado directs counties to regulate development in “areas of state interest,” such as wilderness, through House Bill 1041 of 1974.

The cities’ attempt to develop their rights in the Holy Cross Wil-derness met with opposition in Ea-gle County through litigation that ultimately recognized the county’s right to regulate land use through its 1041 powers.

Maggie Emmer hauls another load of trout to DOW wildlife biologists to be measured and weighed yes-terday, as part of a study to determine if the Eagle River is getting healthier. Trout Unlimited has run the annual study every year for the past 20 years. So far, the river and the fish in it are getting a little better all the time. Randy Wyrick photo.
