THE UPDATE

With changing leaves, sunshine and cooler weather, fall is a great time to be in the Vail Valley, but there’s not always a whole lot going on in terms of events.

That was the observation of former Bon Appetite Associate Publisher Ilene Rapkin, who envisioned the first annual Vail Restaurant Month, kicking off with

this week’s “Market to Table” theme.Sunday is also your last chance to visit

the Vail Farmers Market, which has been extended for an additional week so folks can take what they’ve learned in semi-nars and events to prepare a farm-fresh, healthy meal.

“It will be very different from a tra-ditional restaurant month,” Rapkin said. “The Vail Restaurant Month will coin-cide with the Vail lifestyle and will focus

on an audience prone to Vail – families, young couples, locals, second homeown-ers and anyone who enjoys being in the mountains in the fall.”

Market to Table Week will feature en-tertaining and inspirational events, sem-inars and dining experiences all tied to fresh, delicious food and healthy living.

The Vail Restaurant Month will con-tinue with Health, Wellness and the Out-doors Week, which starts September 27

and hones in on all the fall activities that make Vail great, like biking, running, yoga, golf, rafting, hiking and fly fish-ing. There will be a variety of events that showcase how to incorporate food into the mountain lifestyle.

Lovefest Week will follow on October 4 with romantic activities for couples, champagne and wine tastings, late night romance, celebrations with friends,

Vail to finalize parking plan tonight

Vail’s town council is expected to fi-nalize the town’s winter parking plan for the 2010-11 ski season at their meeting tonight. This is the council’s last sched-

uled meeting before Sept. 30, when they have agreed to provide a definite park-ing plan to the Colorado Department of Transportation.

The council has reviewed information about parking options and trends, and spent much of their Sept. 7 meeting dis-

cussing possible changes to the plan. The council made no official decisions

at the meeting, but proposed instituting a new policy that would make all parking spaces in the Vail Village and Lionshead parking structures free for parking up to two hours before applying an hourly rate. Last winter, there were a limited number

Rep. Polis rejects idea to limit campaign spending

Rep. Jared Polis, will not limit his campaign spending this year, despite a plea from his Republican challenger, Stephen Bailey.

Polis, a Boulder county Democrat whose district also spans into Eagle County, represents the Vail Valley in the United States House of Rep-resentatives. He’s hoping to be re-elected to a third term in

“Polis has consistently stood for taking the big money out of poli-tics, while his largest big-money contributors consist of himself and his family,” Bailey wrote in a let-ter to the Polis campaign. He went on to challenge Polis to organize a grass-roots style campaign similar to his own, and to seek help from volunteers, rather than paid staff.

Bailey asked Polis to agree to a $350,000 campaign spending limit, which the Polis campaign rejected as “nonsense.”

In his 2008 campaign, Polis, a wealthy Princeton graduate, spent more than $5 million of his own money and went on to secure the Democratic nomination and the seat

itself. Lisa Kaufman, his campaign manager, could not say whether he will spend a similar amount in this year’s elections, but said that the candidate would spend as much time as possible meeting with vot-ers in his district.

“I can’t tell you a number of how much we’re going to spend com-municating with our constituents,” she said.

Kaufman said the campaign al-ready raised more than the proposed $350,000 limit. She addressed Po-lis’s commitment to campaign fi-nance reform as a supporter of the Fair Elections Now Act, which provides funding support for candi-dates with the intention of prevent-ing powerful lobbies from buying candidates, and defended Polis’s use of his own funds as legal.

“We’re working within the sys-tem that we have,” she said.

Bailey condemned Polis as a “hypocrite” who claims to stand for campaign finance reform while ex-ploiting loopholes in the system to fund himself and other candidates.

“He works very hard to, meta-phorically speaking, buy elections,” Bailey said. He said he was not as-

serting that Polis ever took any ac-tions that were illegal, only unethi-cal.

A marketing director for a soft-ware company, Bailey said that fi-nancing for his campaign has been a challenge. So far, the campaign has raised more than $100,000, close to a third of the spending limit he sug-gested placing on the campaign.

Bailey said his campaign has tak-en a grassroots approach to reach-ing constituents, and described the structure of his office as “nontradi-tional.” A phone call by the Moun-taineer to Bailey’s campaign office was answered by Bailey himself.

The contested seat, which repre-sents Eagle, Summit, Grand, Boul-der, Clear Creek and Gilpin coun-ties, has been held by a Democrat since 1975. Despite the seat’s his-tory and what promises to be a mas-sive funding gap, Bailey said he re-mains confident that voters, angered by government spending, will sup-port a change in November.

“It’s definitely a different election year,” he said. “Given that this is typically considered a safe Demo-crat seat I think we have a pretty good chance this year.”

Tanc crashes motorcycleGubernatorial candidate was helmet-less, not at fault

Tom Tancredo, longtime Colo-rado politician and Gubernatorial candidate for the American Con-stitution Party, is still recovering from a motorcycle accident Sunday afternoon.

Tancredo was not wearing a hel-met at the time of the collision, which he called “ironic,” because, as a member of the Colorado House of Representatives 30 years ago, he carried the bill to make helmets vol-untary for Colorado motorcyclists

over the age of 18.“Wear your helmet,” he said with

a laugh. “I was not.”Tancredo fell from his motorcy-

cle while swerving to avoid a Pon-tiac Grand Am on South Broadway Street in Littleton. The driver of the Grand Am, Littleton local Jenni-fer Dugan, cut Tancredo off while leaving the parking lot of a McDon-ald’s. Dugan was found at fault for the accident, and has been charged with failure to yield, a minor traffic violation, said Lt. Trent Cooper of the Littleton Police Department.

Tancredo’s injuries were described

as minor in the accident report, but he said he did have to go to the hos-pital to get road burns scoured and sterilized. In a telephone interview yesterday, Tancredo said he was still sore, and that he had canceled his attendance at a candidate forum last night due to his injuries.

While he said he was uncomfort-able, Tancredo agreed with the re-port that his injuries were relatively minor.

“My bike’s in worse shape than I am,” he said.

The Eagle Lodge and Suites (formerly the Best Western Eagle Lodge) unveiled renderings and plans for a major renovation as well as a new affiliation with La Quinta Inns & Suites, the nation’s fastest-growing mid-level hotel chain, at the September 16 Eagle Valley Chamber of Commerce meeting hosted by and at the hotel.

The hotel’s new Managing Part-ner and General Manager, Ralph Ciarlanti III, revealed his plans for the La Quinta Inn & Suites of Eagle with a display of the renderings of the property’s new look. The reno-vation will be sweeping and will in-clude a complete remodel of every guest room including new carpeting, furniture, fixtures and beds as well as significant changes to the lobby and common areas. The exterior of the hotel is also being completely remodeled and landscaped. An ad-dition will be added, joining the two existing buildings together with a new 1200 square foot tower room and outdoor terrace to be used for banquets, meetings and conferenc-es. Renovation will begin as soon as possible for an anticipated Grand Opening by summer 2011. The ho-tel will remain open throughout the

renovation process.Ciarlanti stressed that he intends

to hire a local general contractor and employ all local workers throughout all phases of the renovation process. “There are many local construction workers and tradesman who are out of work or who have been having a tough time these past few years and we want to do our part to help the local economy by providing jobs where we can,” he said.

Ralph Ciarlanti III spent twenty years in Executive Management in High Technology companies and ten years as Chief Operating Of-ficer. He participated in an IPO in 1997 and was instrumental in sev-eral mergers and acquisitions. Over the last ten years, he developed two small companies focusing on Real Estate, Financial Services and Busi-ness Consulting with an emphasis in the hospitality industry. He is currently the Managing Member for PJS Eagle Lodge, LLC and the GM for the hotel & Athletic Club.

Also present for the announce-ment was David Dillon, Assistant General Manager, and Ralph Ciar-lanti IV, Sales and Marketing Direc-tor. Dillon has been with the hotel for almost four years as its Front

Desk Manager and was promoted to oversee hotel operations when Ciarlanti III joined the company. Dillon spent more than 25 years working in the professional theatre all across the country before mov-ing to Eagle in 2006 and making a change to the hospitality industry. Ralph Ciarlanti IV recently joined the company as the new Director of Sales & Marketing for both the hotel and the Eagle Athletic Club. He worked in sales & marketing positions in a part time capacity as he worked his way through col-lege and graduated last June with a BSBA with an emphasis in Market-ing from Cal State San Marcos.

The Eagle Lodge & Suites sev-ered its relationship with Best West-ern International this year.

“We chose to leave our previ-ous hotel brand of 20-plus years because we thought we needed a fresher, more current brand as a partner in order to grow the busi-ness and the image needed in to-day’s competitive market,” Ciar-lanti said. “Since our investment to renovate the property is significant, the timing of a brand change was critical and needed. After conduct-ing market research on the Top 10 national hotel brands and discuss-ing our plans with several of them, we chose to partner with La Quinta

Bonfire Brewing in Eagle is poised to be the next great local business to start out of lean times, and it all started with home-brew kit that IT Consultant Matthew Wirtz received as a birthday present.

Brewing quickly developed into an all-consuming passion for Wirtz, enveloping his house and house-mate, lawyer Andy Jessen, for years.

Soon they built an automated system that became featured in “Make” magazine as well as the American Home-brewers website. The system grew to include a Kegerator, a full on tap service and a constant flow of enthusiastic friends. The only way to go seemed to be a full-sized bar and brewery, with Wirtz brewing and Jessen managing.

The pair found a great location on the corner of Sec-ond Street and Route 6 in Eagle, and with a little extra time on his hands supplied by the recession, Matt threw himself into the refurbishment.

“Eagle doesn’t have any place like this, we are mak-ing a place we want to go to and hang out, we’ll have pool, darts and shuffleboard,” Jessen says, buzzing with excitement. “We want it to be a place for people to gather around.”

With Andy’s legal and technical expertise, they’ve been able to navigate the bureaucracy in a fraction of the time it takes most people, moving their opening for-ward to November. Bonfire Brewing is quickly becom-ing just one of the dozens of new businesses popping up in the valley.

For Wirtz, the timing could not have been better. “Because of the recession we’ve been able to get

money from people who were willing to try something different, the stock market being bad has been great for

us,” he said with a smile.Jessen is equally enthusiastic about the economy. “More people are willing to do deals,” he said.Still, it’s all about the beer, and Wirtz’s years experi-

menting at home is paying off. “The fermenters come from a wine company in Or-

egon, I think we’re the first to use these for beer,” he said. “I get a lot more control and can produce a higher quality product on a smaller scale.”

The smaller scale has also allowed him to fabricate everything to his design.

“We are anything but traditional,” he said.The process may be ingenious, but the product is all

A group of bank robbers find their $20 million plan interrupted by a hard-boiled detective in “Takers.”

As Alice’s deadly battle with the Umbrella Corpo-ration reaches new heights, she gets some unex-pected help from an old friend. But she might be about to step into a deadly trap in “Resident Evli: Afterlife.”

As an assassin, Jack (Clooney) is constantly on the move and always alone. After a job in Sweden ends more harshly than expected for this American abroad, Jack retreats to the Italian countryside. Savoring the peaceful quietude he finds in the mountains of Abruzzo, Jack accepts the friendship of local priest Father Benedetto (Paolo Bonacelli) and pursues a torrid liaison with a beautiful woman, Clara (Violante Placido). Jack and Clara’s time together evolves into a romance, one seemingly free of danger. But by stepping out of the shadows, Jack may be tempting fate in “The American.”

China might start making things here

Chinese automaker and General Motors Co. partner SAIC said yesterday it is paying close attention to GM’s upcoming stock sale, but gave no hint over whether it plans to take a stake itself.

GM executives in the U.S. and China likewise re-fused comment on reports that the automaker is in talks with its state-owned joint venture partner SAIC about buying a stake in the Detroit company through its ini-tial public offering.

But a U.S. Treasury Department statement said in-vestors in GM would be sought across “multiple geog-raphies,” with a focus on North America.

“Shanghai Automotive is watching GM’s progress closely. As a strategic partner of GM, SAIC-GM hopes for a successful IPO,” Shanghai Automotive Industries Corp. said in an emailed statement. Its staff would not comment further.

Hurd pays millions to go back to work

Mark Hurd, the ousted CEO of Hewlett-Packard Co., has settled a lawsuit brought by his former employer that sought to stop him from working at rival Oracle Corp.

Under the terms of the settlement announced yesterday after the stock markets closed, Hurd agreed to relin-quish stock he was given in his sev-erance package. The shares are worth nearly $14 million, based on yester-day’s closing price of $39.39.

HP and Oracle said in a joint state-ment that Hurd will be able to per-form his duties as an Oracle co-president without spill-ing HP’s trade secrets.

Not everyone likes Mahmoud

The New York Post is reporting that while the UN is welcoming Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, some New York lawmakers are now happy about it.

A group of elected officials, led by New York Gov-ernor David Paterson, spoke out against Ahmadinejad yesterday just as the Iranian president was preparing to speak to the United Nations General Assembly, accord-ing to the Post.

Enjoy the boom; the recession was over last year

The panel that determines the timing of recessions concluded yesterday that this one ended — technically, anyway — in June 2009, and lasted 18 months. The duration makes it the longest since World War II.

It may be over, but you won’t be hearing any cheers from the millions of Americans who are struggling to find a job. Or are worried about the ones they have. Or have lost their homes. Or are behind on the mortgage. Since the recession began, 7.3 million jobs have dis-appeared. Nearly 2.5 million homes have been repos-sessed, and unemployment is now at 9.6 percent.

Kim Jong-un, come on down

North Korea says it will hold a key political meeting next week to elect new ruling party leaders.

The North’s official Korean Central News Agency said in a dispatch yesterday that it will hold a meeting of representatives of the Workers’ Party on Sept. 28 to elect its supreme leadership.

The North earlier had said the meeting would take place in “early September,” but it didn’t take place. Yesterday’s dispatch did not say why the North appar-ently postponed the meeting.

The gathering is being watched closely for clues whether aging leader Kim Jong Il could give top jobs to his youngest son, Kim Jong-un as part of the country’s eventual power succession.

Obama’s town-hall eventAt a Washington Town Hall event, the president re-

peatedly expressed sympathy for people still out of work and struggling despite economists’ assertions that the Great Recession of 2007-2009 had ended. In fact, the National Bureau of Economic Research said earlier yesterday that the downturn ended in June of last year.

For the millions of people who are jobless and strug-gling, “it’s still very real for them,” the president said. He added that people are frustrated because progress has been “slow and steady” instead of “the kind of quick fixes that I think a lot of people would like to see.”

Obama acknowledged that his policy accomplish-ments may not be playing well politically and that the difficult economic conditions—including a nearly 10 percent unemployment rate—are hindering his ability to convince people that a revival is under way.

Cojones take the stage in New York governor’s raceThe gloves have never really been “on” for Tea Party

darling Carl Paladino, but now he’s really hitting below the belt in the fight to be governor of the Empire State.

The New York Republican Gubernatorial nominee sent a letter to his Democratic rival, Andrew Cuomo, accusing him of having “no cojones.”

Paladino makes the claim while trying to goad Cuo-mo into an open debate with him.

Everybody pray for Hitchens

The writer best known to believers for his 2007 book “God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything” has esophageal cancer, the same disease that killed his father. He is fighting it, but the 62-year-old Cristopher Hitchens is realistic: At the very best, he says, his life will be shortened.

For some of his critics, it might be satisfying to see a man who has made a career of skewering organized

Hitchens, however, wasn’t bowing his head, even on a day set aside just for him.

Turn in your antibioticsThe U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration has an-

nounced a nationwide prescription drug “take-back” initiative aimed at preventing pill abuse and theft.

DEA will be collecting unused, expired and unwanted prescription drugs at sites around the country on Sept. 25. The pills will later be destroyed.

Steve Derr, special agent in charge of the DEA for New England, said the free and anonymous program is an opportunity to get rid of unwanted medications be-fore they can be abused, cause an accidental overdose or hurt the environment

Seal is no Tiger ...The San Francisco Chronicle is reporting that singer

Seal sympathizes with golfer Tiger Woods over his cheating scandal – but is adamant he will never make the same mistake with his supermodel wife Heidi Klum.

“I do understand why people are tempted and I un-

derstand why people do it,” Seal was quoted saying. “... I mean, I’m married to one of, if not the most won-derful woman in the world. She is everything – funny, attractive, hardworking, she has integrity, she loves me to bits ... Honestly, if I was looking at myself and I cheated, then I’d just think, ‘Wow, how disappointing, I actually thought you were better than that.”

... And he can’t survive at 13,450 feet

Agence France-Presse is reporting a television crew filmed a “lost” population of tigers living at a higher al-titude than any others known, raising hopes of linking isolated groups of the big cats across Asia. The BBC was cited in the report. The cats were spotted roaming in the hills in the remote Himalayan nation of Bhutan by a conservationist and a team from the BBC’s Nat-ural History Unit at a height of 13,450 feet, said the broadcaster on its website, according to AFP.

researchers found that obese children were far more likely to have antibodies to a specific strain of adeno-virus than normal weight children, according to the re-port published early online in Pediatrics. Children who showed signs of infection with adenovirus 36 (AD36), a common cause of some colds and eye infections, were an average of 50 pounds heavier than those who had no antibodies to the virus.

Netflix may put a hit on the Soprano’s network

Netflix Inc. has a deal with the production company behind Sylvester Stallone’s action film “The Expend-ables” that will add five to 10 new movies per year to its Internet streaming service.

Netflix said last Wednesday it has struck an agree-ment with Nu Image/Millennium Films to start stream-ing the company’s releases at the same time that pre-mium movie channels such as HBO and Starz start running them.

Lake’s couch fireAuthorities say Ricki Lake’s beachfront rental home

in Malibu has burned down.Los Angeles County sheriff’s officials say deputies

answering a 911 call Saturday found the 41-year-old actress and talk show host, her two sons and their dog standing safely outside.

Firefighters put out the blaze in 20 minutes, but the home was destroyed.

Sheriff’s Lt. Rich Erickson tells the Los Angeles Times that a couch caught fire when Lake was refuel-ing a portable heater.

The blaze shut down a stretch of the Pacific Coast Highway for 90 minutes.

Lake starred in the movie “Hairspray” and later host-ed a daytime talk show.

She has recently become an advocate for home birth, co-writing a book and producing a film on the subject.

Jerry Garcia’s house for sale

Would-be home buyers now have a chance to taste the high life, Grateful Dead-style: Jerry Garcia’s house is for sale.

The 11-acre estate in rural Marin County, north of San Francisco, was the bandleader’s last home before he died of a heart attack in 1995 at age 53.

The sellers are asking just shy of $4 million for the 7,000-square-foot Mediterranean-style home and sur-rounding grounds.

The real estate listing describes amenities such as a 1,500-square-foot artist’s studio, a solar-heated pool and an organic garden. The estate has 300-degree views that span the Berkeley skyline to the Pacific Ocean.

In recent years, a man who bought the house and renovated it shortly after Garcia’s death sold many of the fixtures — including the guitarist’s toilet — to raise

money for charity

Eddie and Jill are marriedInternet news website Newser is reporting Eddie Ve-

dder has gone from grunge to groom. The Pearl Jam frontman tied the knot with longtime girlfriend Jill Mc-Cormick in Hawaii on Saturday, according to Newser.

That’s a price reductionThe owner of what was once thought to be America’s

most expensive home listing has knocked $70 million off his asking price after filing for bankruptcy protec-tion.

The Beverly Hills mansion that once belonged to publishing magnate William Randolph Hearst was on the market for $95 million yesterday, down from $165 million when it was briefly listed in 2007.

Court records reviewed by the Los Angeles Times showed that the home’s owner, attorney-investor Leon-ard M. Ross, filed for bankruptcy on Wednesday.

Coach Leonard Skinner dead at 77

Leonard Skinner, the basketball coach and gym teacher who inspired the name of the Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd, died yesterday in Florida, his daughter said. He was 77.

Skinner died in his sleep at the St. Catherine Laboure Manor in Jacksonville, where he had been living for about a year, his daughter Susie Moore said. Skinner had Alzheimer’s disease.

He was working at Robert E. Lee High School in Jacksonville in the late 1960s when he sent a group of students to the principal’s office because their hair was too long. Those students later formed a band, using a variation of Skinner’s name for their own.

During an interview in January 2009, Skinner said he was always bothered by the way the legend grew to say he was particularly tough on the band members or that he had kicked them out of school, according to The Florida Times-Union, which first reported Skin-ner’s death.

“It was against the school rules,” Skinner said then. “I don’t particularly like long hair on men, but again, it wasn’t my rule.”

Congressional approval rating at new low

Gallup is reporting that public approval of Congress remains in short supply in September, with 18 percent of Americans now approving of the job it is doing, sim-ilar to the 19 percent approving in August. Congress’ approval rating has not been above 20 percent since May, and has not surpassed 30 percent since September 2009, according the polling company.

While many people may have forgotten, Tim Tebow wasn’t the Broncos’ only first round selection.

After missing all of the preseason and week one, 6-3 230-pound rookie Demaryius Thomas exploded onto the scene with eight receptions for 97 yards and one touchdown in Denver’s 31-14 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. Tebow never even stepped onto the field.

The Broncos forced four turnovers and held the Sea-hawks offense to under 23 minutes of possession time. Meanwhile the offense put together four scoring drives of 80 yards or more – a big difference from last week when the offense piled up yards but couldn’t get into the end zone.

The Broncos controlled the game from the early go-ing. Cassius Vaughn recovered a fumbled punt which led to a touchdown and a 14-0 lead. Champ Bailey and Brian Dawkins both intercepted passes inside the 10 yard line. Bailey left the game on crutches with his right ankle taped, and Andre Goodman left in the sec-ond half with an injured right thigh.

Coach Josh McDaniels said yesterday that Bailey didn’t have any broken bones, and he’s hopeful both Bailey and Goodman will be able to play against India-napolis on Sunday.

If they can’t, the team might be relying on a couple of rookie cornerbacks to square up against Peyton Man-ning. Perrish Cox, a fifth-round draft pick from Okla-

homa State, and Cassius Vaughn, who went undrafted out of Mississippi would line up. Cox had an intercep-tion Sunday and Vaughn recovered a muffed punt.

Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton finished with 307 yards passing on Sunday and two touchdowns. Kno-shown Moreno played solid in his bid to hold off new-comer Laurence Maroney. Moreno finished with 51 yards rushing and 67 yards receiving. Eddie Royal continued his strong play finishing with 65 yards and a touchdown.

But Thomas was the story of the day. While few out-siders saw him coming, the Broncos knew what kind of player they had.

“You saw a little bit of what we think he can do.” Broncos coach Josh Mcdaniels was quoted saying.

The Seahawks defenders have already seen enough. “I definitely know who he is now.” said Lawyer Mal-

loy. Rookie Safety Earl Thomas added, “He’s a big receiver and he made some great catches today. I’m pretty sure he is going to have a great year.”

Josh McDaniels and The Broncos sure hope so.Kyle Orton finished with his fourth career 300-yard

passing game and was sacked only once.Sunday’s matchup against Indianapolis will take

place in Denver and is scheudled for a 2:15 p.m. start our time. National television coverage will be provided by CBS.

Broncs other 1st round pick was star of winMcDaniels expects injured cornerbacks to be healthy by Sunday

By Josh Cacella

Vick back to backup in PhiladelphiaAfter an impressive showing

against the Packers, some thought Michael Vick may replace Kevin Kolb as the Eagles starting QB. That’s not the case. With Kolb now back from injury, Vick is more like-ly to begin the game at wide receiv-er than quarterback this week.

Eagles coach Andy Reid said Kevin Kolb will be the starting quarterback at Jacksonville on Sun-day, despite a pair of impressive performances by Vick.

Kolb has been cleared to practice after missing the second half of a season-opening loss to Green Bay and Sunday’s win over Detroit be-

cause of a concussion. So he’ll start unless he has a setback this week.

Vick still will play in Philadel-phia’s version of the wildcat of-fense. In the first play of the season, he lined up as a receiver.

“I think it’s a beautiful situation,” Reid said yesterday. “I look at it a lot differently than other people look at it. I’ve got two quarterbacks that can play at a very important position. I’m a happy guy about it. There are a lot of teams that don’t have good quarterbacks, ones that they feel like they can win with, and I feel like we can with both of those guys.”

Vick threw for 175 yards and one touchdown and ran for 103 in a 27-20 loss to the Packers, nearly rallying the Eagles to victory from a 17-point deficit. He had 284 yards passing and two TDs in a 35-32 win over the Lions in his first start in al-most four years.

A three-time Pro Bowl pick dur-ing six seasons in Atlanta, Vick missed two seasons while serving an 18-month sentence in federal prison for his role in a dogfighting operation. He signed a two-year contract with the Eagles before last season, then played sparingly be-hind Donovan McNabb and Kolb.

Nibali wins Spanish VueltaVincenzo Nibali won the Spanish Vuelta on Sunday

after Tyler Farrar of the United States sprinted to vic-tory in the final stage just ahead of Britain’s Mark Cav-endish.

Nibali won the overall race in 87 hours, 18 minutes, 31 seconds, while Ezequiel Mosquera finished 41 sec-onds back in second. Peter Velits was third, 3:04 be-hind the winner. Nibali became the first Italian since Marco Giovannetti in 1990 to win the Spanish classic, his triumph essentially sealed when he held off Mos-quera’s challenge a day earlier in a grueling mountain top finish near Madrid.

“Victory in the Vuelta is very important for me be-cause it puts me up there with the top riders. Now, there’s nothing I can’t aim for,” Nibali told Italian me-dia. “Alberto Contador is the number one in stage races and it’s very difficult to beat him. But one day, I hope I’ll be able to take him on in the Tour de France.”

Summing up his attitude toward cycling’s two other major stage races, Nibali said: “The Tour de France is in my thoughts, but the Giro d’Italia is in my heart.”

Farrar crossed the line in 2 hours, 2 minutes, 24 sec-onds after a 52.8-mile ride from San Sebastian de los Reyes to Madrid. Cavendish crossed the line just be-hind the Garmin-Slipstream rider and Allan Davis of Australia was third with the same time.

“Winning two stages in the Vuelta is more than I had

hoped for and my team was incredible,” said Farrar, who will head to Australia and the world champion-ships.

Cavendish won the green jersey for the event’s com-bined points crown, while French cyclist David Mon-coutie was the top climber for the third straight year.

Katusha of Russia was the top team, edging Caisse d’Epargne by 33 seconds.

Have You Hugged Your Car Lately?


of parking spaces near Vail Village that were available for 90 minutes of free parking.

In order to offset revenue losses caused by the additional half hour of free parking, the council pro-posed changing last year’s “free after three,” policy, which allowed anyone to park in the village for free after 3 p.m.

To make extra revenue, the coun-cil proposed adopting a “three from three to three,” policy, which would charge those who do not hold a val-ue pass $3 to park any length of time from 3 p.m. to 3 a.m. Purchasers of value passes would be allowed to park for free during this period.

At the Sept. 7 meeting, the coun-cil asked Public Works Director Greg Hall to evaluate the econom-ics of this plan and to consider a va-riety of different options for the rate structure of the various value passes offered by the town.

Hall will give a presentation to the council at tonight’s meeting with the additional information re-quested, and the council is expected to establish a final parking plan for this coming winter. If approved as they were discussed in the Sept. 7 meeting, parking rate in the two structures will be free for the first two hours, $15 for the thirst, $20 for the fourth, and would top out

at $25 for parking longer than four hours.

The council will also address a solution for parking on the town’s frontage roads, a topic that was de-bated at the Sept. 7 meeting. At the meeting, they discussed a number of options for dealing with over-flow parking on the north and south frontage roads. They came to a loose agreement to institute a policy that would limit overflow parking to spaces on the roads to 15 days per season if another agreement is not reached with Vail Resorts. The council has been asked by staff to give direction for a comprehensive plan to present to the CDOT.

Inn & Suites. Our goals seemed to be a perfect match for the Eagle-Vail market place. La Quinta is the fast-est growing mid-tier hotel chain in the nation with one of the highest customer satisfaction ratings in the in-dustry. We want to offer the most comfortable rooms and best night sleep in the valley at any price.”

There was great interest from all the companies Ciar-lanti approached due to the size, location and amenities the property has to offer such as the largest and most rooms of any property in Eagle. Nearly all the major brands without a current presence in Eagle were anx-ious to move into this territory.

The recent lack of new hotel construction across the country, the loss of many properties over the past few years and the desirability of the hotel’s structure and location were major factors in the various discussions.

LQ Management L.L.C. is one of the largest op-erators of limited-service hotels in the United States. Based in Dallas, Texas, the company operates and pro-vides franchise services to close to 800 hotels under the La Quinta Inn and La Quinta Inn & Suites brands. With its strong emphasis on Guest Satisfaction and its commitment to clean, brightly colored properties offer-ing top-notch service at a reasonable price, La Quinta has earned strong customer loyalty, one of the things which most drew Ciarlanti to the brand.

“We are very proud to have the Eagle Lodge join the LQ family of hotels,” said Robert Clasby, LQ Director of Development for the Central and Western region of the U.S. “It is a wonderful property in a beautiful loca-

tion and we couldn’t be happier about our new relation-ship.”

The soon-to-be La Quinta Inn & Suites of Eagle has more and larger rooms than any other Eagle hotel, ac-cording to the company. With two buildings, the Main Building and the Lodge Building, the hotel has more room types than any other Eagle hotel as well. From standard rooms in the Lodge Building with one king or two queen beds to deluxe, oversized king and dou-ble queen rooms, Executive Suites and two and three bedroom Suites in the Main Building, there is a room configuration and price level to suit any guest and their travel budgets.

The hotel also boasts the Eagle Athletic Club, the largest fitness facility housed in a hotel in the area. This large, two-story club features an indoor lap sized pool and hot tub (both with the only saline filtration system in Eagle for maximum comfort), a steam room, sauna and fully equipped weight and cardio rooms. A variety of fitness classes and massage therapy are also offered and local residents can obtain memberships in addition to it being an amenity for hotel guests. The Athletic Club will also be expanded as part of the reno-vation process, providing more and updated equipment as well as a larger set of offerings in fitness classes.

Those amenities coupled with the total renovation of the property promise to make the La Quinta Inn & Suites the showcase hotel in Eagle.

about the American tradition with six beers planned including Ales, Wheat beer and an IPA all on the menu – although Wirtz has a han-kering for a sweet potato ale.

For both Jessen and Wirtz, the biggest lift comes from the buoy-ancy they feel from everyone in the local community – from strang-ers lending a good word to friends stopping by and lending a hand.

“The strange phenomenon is the

support we are getting, it’s inspir-ing,” said Jessen.

Local contractor and neighbor Daniel Ritsch has been lending a helping hand because he wants to see the area develop.

“Daniel’s been completely on-board, he sees we want to build a place that draws people into down-town,” Jessen added.

It’s a faith they have every inten-tion of repaying.

“Matt and I have a lot of faith in the strength of our community,” said Jessen. “I think its because people just don’t end up here, they come here by choice. We want to make a place that strengthens people’s ties to this valley, something that can become part of our identity.”
