This week, you’ll have two chances to get up close at the Vail International Dance Festival.
Conceptualized by Festival Artistic Director Damian Woetzel, the dance fest’s UpClose series allows dance lovers to get a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of dance and dance performances with choreographers and artistic directors on stage alongside the dancers, mostly dressed in rehearsal attire.
The 22nd annual Vail International Dance Festival features two weeks of dance performances at the Ger-ald R. Ford Amphitheater in Vail, including two events in the UpClose series. UpClose: Stars of the Interna-tional Evenings of Dance will be held tomorrow, Au-gust 5 at 6 p.m. and UpClose: The Art of Tango takes place Saturday, August 7 at 2 p.m. Both events will be held on the Amphitheater stage.
Woetzel thought up the series four years ago when the first UpClose (with Morphoses/The Wheeldon Company) was held. Woetzel hosts the series, facilitat-ing discussion between the artists and audience and oc-casionally demonstrating a few dance steps himself.
As with UpClose: Morphoses/The Wheeldon compa-ny, UpClose audiences are often the first to see newly created works that are slated to world premiere at the Festival.
“A highlight of the UpClose: Stars will be a preview of the world premiere Aretha Franklin ballet by our artist in residence Larry Keigwin, the lucky UpClose audience will the very first to see it on the stage,” says Woetzel. “We will also be looking at some of the great-est dancers in the world do their pieces for International Evenings. Stars like Herman Cornejo and the thrilling bravura showpiece Don Quixote. This is an amazing op-portunity to see the stars of dance like never before.”
UpClose: The Art of Tango will feature acclaimed ballroom dancers Natalia Hills and Gabriel Missé with

In the world of food, “green” used to only refer to vegetables.
But now the broader concept of green – as in sus-tainability – has reached the culinary arts, and this fall Colorado Mountain College’s campus in Edwards is launching two new certificate programs in sustainable cuisine.
“Colorado Mountain College created these certifi-cates in order to help future chefs and restaurateurs learn about the issues, challenges and opportunities involved in creating sustainable food service opera-tions,” said Todd Rymer, director of culinary education at the college’s campus in Edwards. “This will also of-fer community members the opportunity to learn about these issues and to develop a philosophy that we are not simply consumers but co-producers of our food.”
The certificate programs, which are unique because

The annual Comic-Con pop-culture convention wrapped up Sunday after four days of comic books, costumes, ce-lebrity appearances and TV and movie previews.
One of the highlights of the event was the surprise an-nouncement of “The Avengers” cast. Samuel L. Jackson, who will play Colonel Nick Fury, made an unexpected ap-pearance to present the stars of the new Marvel superhero movie, which includes Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Robert Downey Jr. as Ironman, along with newly an-nounced Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk and Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye.
Locally, the buzz around the Avengers is more focused around the Secret Avengers comic book series, a new a ver-sion of the old super hero team. The more modern Avengers operate as a black ops unit under the guidance and leader-ship of Captain Steve Rogers, the former Captain Ameri-ca who was a founding member of the original Avengers squad. In “The Avengers,” Captain America will be played by Chris Evans, whom comic book fans will remember as the guy who played the Johnny “The Human Torch” Storm in the Fantastic Four movies. Before that movie comes out in 2012, however, Evans will make his debut as Captain America in a movie called “Captain America: The First Avenger,” scheduled for a 2011 release.

A new conduit for local musicians to ply their con-siderable talents will come to the fore tomorrow at 9 p.m., as Paddy’s Pub in Eagle-Vail debuts Open Form Music Night.
Don’t mistake this for just another “open mike” karaoke-fest, say Paddy’s promoters. The Open Form Music model is one that has it’s roots across the pond in Scotland, where Paddy’s owner Susan Swimm first encountered this unique vehicle for local musicians to come together and mix it up spontaneously on a given evening.
“It was unlike anything I’d ever seen”, says Swimm, who previously owned her own family pub in St. An-drews, Scotland. “These talented and diverse musicians just knew to show up on a given evening to mix and match and jam with each other. It was not only fun to watch the synergy take light, but it was incredibly fun to watch it all unfold.”
Ideally this new format allows individual members of local bands to keep their musical chops nimble by

playing with a new cast of characters. This gives these quasi jam sessions the potential to form some excit-ing new musical alliances by spontaneously blending sounds and styles.
While musicians are welcome to show up with their preferred axe, be it a guitar, mandolin, horn, harp or their own voice, there will also be several instruments, including drums, bass and various strings available for those who just want to jump into the jam and contrib-ute.
This grand experiment is not only open to local pros, however. The format encourages anyone who wants to contribute to these co-operative musical efforts to stand in and lend their voice to the ensemble. The stage will be open and plugged in from 9 p.m. until “late” and a complement of drink specials along with a late night menu will be available.

year, they were Hustle’s Ben Koelk-er and Pete Haugh with Frogs Gone Fishin’s Andrew Portwood and Dave Donahue of Laughing Bones. With the addition of Frogs’ Trevor Jones on key-board, they go by the name Stereo As-sassins.
Andrew Portwood of Frogs Gone Fishin’ said Stereo Assassins play aerobic funk, covering James Brown, The Meters and funky takes on Phish and the Dead. “We blend rhythm and soul with jam and groove and keep you moving until you’re in a full body freak out. This is a great group of funky mu-sicians, and we bring the party,” he said.
Tonight’s show at Saltwater Cowboy in Avon starts at 10 p.m. and is free. Look for the Assassins to play Saltwa-ter every Wednesday throughout the month of August.

As a CIA officer, Evelyn Salt (Angelina Jolie) swore an oath to duty, honor and country. Her loyalty will be tested when a defector accuses her of being a Russian spy. Salt goes on the run, using all her skills and years of experience as a covert operative to elude capture. Salt’s efforts to prove her innocence only serve to cast doubt on her motives, as the hunt to uncover the truth behind her identity continues and the question remains: “Who Is Salt?”
In a happy suburban neighborhood, surrounded by white picket fences with flowering rose bushes, sits a black house with a dead lawn. Unbeknownst to the neighbors, hidden beneath this home is a vast secret hideout. Surrounded by a small army of minions, we discover Gru (voiced by Steve Carell), planning the biggest heist in the history of the world. He is going to steal the moon, but along the way the world’s greatest villain meets his greatest challenge: three little girls named Margo, Edith and Agnes in Univer-sal’s new 3-D CGI feature, “Despicable Me.”

declined to confirm the report. She said the singer planned to make an announcement tomorrow night in Haiti but declined to say what it would be.
Jean-Jacques, who will be seeking to return to the Chamber of Deputies in the election, said he will be a candidate for a new coalition that calls itself Ansanm Nou Fo, which translates as “together we are strong” in Creole.
“Yes, we have an agreement (with Jean). But he’s the one who has to announce it first,” Jean-Jacques told AP, declining to elaborate on their political plans.
Jean is popular in Haiti for his music and for his work through his charity Yele Haiti, which raised millions of dolars after the Jan. 12 earthquake that killed an esti-mated 300,000 people and knocked down most of the government ministries and many of the homes in the capital.
Rumors have swirled for months that Jean would run for president. The singer has always been careful not to rule out a run for the office and recorded a song “If I was President.”
The 37-year-old was born outside Port-au-Prince but left as a child and grew up in Brooklyn.
Authorities: Wire cutters aided AZ inmates’ escape
Three remain at largeThree convicted murderers escaped a privately run
prison in Arizona by using wire cutters that a woman threw over a fence, a state Department of Corrections spokesman said yesterday.
Officials also said prison staff didn’t realize the in-mates were missing Friday until after sensors on the pe-rimeter fence sounded and a 9 p.m. head count, which came five hours after the three were last accounted for by prison staff.
The woman who authorities say helped in the escape is Casslyn Mae Welch, 44, of Mesa—the fiancee and cousin of John McCluskey, one of the three inmates. She was waiting outside the prison in Kingman as the inmates breached a perimeter fence with the wire cut-ters and escaped, said department spokesman Barrett Marson.
A security camera captured Welch driving a blue se-
dan around the facility that holds minimum- and medi-um-security inmates.
Corrections Director Charles Ryan has said “lax” se-curity created an opportunity for the men to escape. The local sheriff’s office wasn’t alerted until more than an hour after prison staff discovered the three were miss-ing, and state corrections officials found out about the escape at 11:37 p.m., Maroon said.
Daniel Renwick, 36, was captured Sunday in western Colorado. He was being held yesterday in a Colorado jail on suspicion of attempted first-degree murder, ve-hicular eluding, possession of a weapon by a previous offender and felony escape. His bail is set at $2.5 mil-lion. According to an arrest affidavit, a Garfield County sheriff’s deputy noticed a vehicle with its lights off in a church parking lot and found that it matched the Ari-zona license plate of a Chevy Blazer connected with the fugitives. Another officer noticed the vehicle pull-ing out of the parking lot and chased it for three miles on an interstate until Renwick slowed down and exited. Renwick shot through the rear window of the Blazer, and nearby Rifle police Officer William Van Teylingen said he heard objects hitting his car. Teylingen rammed Renwick’s vehicle, which came to a stop in a hotel parking lot. Teylingen’s airbag activated in his cruiser and by the time he got out, Renwick was lying on the ground behind the cruiser. Teylingen found a rifle in the Blazer and a hole in a headlamp on his cruiser.
Meanwhile Tracy Province, 42, the 45-year-old Mc-Cluskey and Welch had kidnapped two drivers of a semi-truck in Kingman early Saturday morning and traveled in the rig to Flagstaff, where they left the driv-ers unharmed, authorities said. The three remain at large and are believed to be together in Arizona, said U.S. Marshals Service spokesman Thomas Henman.
Province was serving a life sentence for murder and robbery, and McCluskey was serving 15 years for sec-ond-degree murder, aggravated assault and discharge of a firearm. Renwick was serving a 22-year sentence for second degree murder.
Jailed for not having skid marks
The Toyota Camry involved in a 2006 crash that [See THE UPDATE, pages 8-9]
killed three people had antilock brakes that would not have left skid marks at the crash scene, according to a defense witness who testified Tuesday at a hearing to determine whether the driver will receive a new trial.
Koua Fong Lee, 32, of St. Paul, is serving an eight-year prison sentence on multiple counts, including two criminal vehicular homicide convictions. He has in-sisted he tried to stop his car and requested a new trial after Toyota recalled millions of vehicles because of problems with sudden unintended acceleration.
Lee’s attorneys say his 1996 Camry—while it wasn’t part of the recall—may have experienced the same problem.
Lee, a recent Hmong immigrant with only about a year of driving experience, was driving his family home from church on June 10, 2006, when their Camry zoomed up an Interstate 94 exit ramp in St. Paul. Police said it was traveling between 70 and 90 mph when it rear-ended an Oldsmobile stopped at a red light.
Javis Trice Adams, 33, and his 10-year-old son, Javis Adams Jr., died at the scene. Adams’ 6-year-old niece, Devyn Bolton, was paralyzed from the neck down and died shortly after Lee was convicted. Two others were severely injured.
Tuesday’s testimony by forensic engineer Sam Sero contradicted testimony presented during Lee’s 2007 trial, when a witness for the prosecution told the jury Lee’s 1996 Camry did not have antilock brakes. Pros-
ecutors said at the time that the absence of skid marks proved Lee was not braking.
But when shown a picture of Lee’s car on Tuesday, Sero used a laser pointer to show the court where the ABS system was located. With antilock brakes, he “wouldn’t expect to find any” skid marks, he said. One of Lee’s attorneys, Bob Hilliard, said the jury never heard that Lee’s car had antilock brakes.
Prosecutors argue the defense hasn’t come up with the kind of decisive new evidence Minnesota law re-quires for a new trial. Ramsey County District Judge Joanne Smith will decide after the hearing, which will resume today with more testimony from Sero and other experts.
6 dead in river accidentDeKendrix Warner was splashing around in the
waist-high waters of the Red River with his cousins and friends, trying to escape the oppressive Louisiana heat, when he stepped off a slippery ledge—and was plunged into water 25-feet deep.
As the 15-year-old kicked and flailed, one cousin rushed to help—and found himself plummeting down the severe drop-off. Then another.
In all, six teenagers tried to save DeKendrix—and each other—but none of them could swim. Their rela-tives, who can’t swim either, looked on helplessly as

the teens screamed out for help. Six van-ished and drowned Monday – DeKend-rix, the lone survivor, was rescued by a bystander.
“It’s hard when you can’t save your kids,” said Maude Warner, whose 13-year-old daughter Takeitha and sons 14-year-old JaMarcus and 17-year-old JaTavious were among those who drowned.
“It’s hard when you just see your kids drowning and you can’t save them,” she told KTBS TV.
The other victims were three brothers: 18-year-old Litrelle Stewart, 17-year-old LaDairus and 15-year-old Latevin.
About 30 feet away, 22-year-old Chris-topher Patlan was hanging out with his friends when he heard screams and ran toward the river. By then, all of the teens were struggling, he said. He jumped in and ended up closest to DeKendrix. By the time he dragged DeKendrix to safety, the rest of the teens had vanished.
The teen pleaded with Patlan “to go help my cousin,” as he was being saved, but it was too late.
The tragedy highlights an unsettling statistic among African-Americans like the teens who died: 69 percent of black children have little or no swimming abil-ity, compared to 41.8 percent of white children, according to a study released last spring by USA Swimming.
And African-Americans drown at a rate 20 percent higher than whites, ac-cording to the Centers for Disease Con-trol and Prevention.
Patlan, who is white and Hispanic, and took swimming lessons as a youngster.
“Everything happened so fast. It was like a wreck,” he said.
Beer thief goes on shooting rampage,
kills 8A driver caught stealing beer from the
warehouse where he worked agreed to resign his job yesterday and then as “cold as ice,” one of his victims said, went on a shooting rampage, killing eight people and injuring two before committing sui-cide.
Omar Thornton, 34, pulled out a hand-gun after a meeting in which he was shown video evidence of the thefts and was offered the chance to quit or be fired.
“Then he went out on this rampage,” company vice president Steve Hollander told The Associated Press. “He was cool and calm. He didn’t yell. He was cold as ice. He didn’t protest when we were meeting with him to show him the video of him stealing. He didn’t contest it. He didn’t complain. He didn’t argue. He didn’t admit or deny anything. He just agreed to resign. And then he just unex-plainably pulled out his gun and started blasting.”
The shooting was over in a matter of minutes. The victims were found all over the complex, and authorities said they didn’t know if Thornton fired randomly or targeted specific co-workers.
Thornton was alive when police got to the scene but killed himself before offi-cers got to him, Manchester Police Chief Marc Montminy said.

Contador wins CastillonThree-time Tour de France champion Alberto Con-
tador of Spain has won the Castillon-la-Bataille crite-rium race ahead of Sylvain Chavanel of France in a sprint finish.
Chavanel won two stages of the Tour this year. Yes-terday’s field included other Tour stage winners Alex-andre Vinokourov of Kazakhstan—Contador’s Astana teammate—and French rider Thomas Voeckler.
Riders completed 30 laps of a 1.9-mile circuit that featured minor climbs.
Contador will leave Astana and ride for Bjarne Riis’ Saxo Bank-SunGard team next year. Riis said yester-dat that Contador has signed for two seasons. Contador also won the Tour de France in 2007 and ’09.

Anthony Kim back after 3 month layoffAfter not teeing it up for even a
single hole for the past three months while recovering from surgery to repair ligament damage in his left thumb, Anthony Kim, a three-time winner on the PGA Tour, doesn’t know what to expect.
“I have four days of golf guaran-
teed, even if I shoot 110,” he said yesterday. “I haven’t played much golf, but I’m excited to be here.”
Kim’s thumb was hurting when he won the Houston Open, and when he finished third at the Masters. It reached a point where he knew he had to do something about the in-
jury. The biggest risk was dropping in the Ryder Cup standings because one of his primary goals the rest of the year is making the U.S. side.
“At Quail Hollow I started feel-ing like other parts of my body were breaking down because of my
Armstrong’s image taking hit from Landis allegations
Everything the seven-time Tour de France champion Lance Arm-strong is being threatened by a new opponent: a federal investigation. Philanthropy experts say the foun-dation, in particular, is at risk of los-ing future donations if its namesake and chairman is dragged down in scandal.
Federal prosecutors have been in-vestigating pro cycling since Floyd Landis, a former Armstrong team-mate who was stripped of his 2006 Tour title, admitted this year that he used performance-enchancing drugs. Landis also accused many others in the sport, including Arm-strong, of doping too.
Last week, prosecutors subpoe-naed documents from a 2004 case in which a Texas company with business ties to Armstrong tried to prove he used drugs in order to avoid paying him a performance bonus.
Armstrong has long denied—vehemently—that he used perfor-mance-enhancing drugs, and he has not been charged.
The foundation has not been ac-
cused of wrongdoing, but it is so closely linked with Armstrong it could be hurt.
“They are not going to be able to thrive if the person who is the spirit behind it is in trouble,” said Ken Berger, CEO of Charity Navigator, which analyzes more than 5,000 nonprofits in the U.S. “It is just go-ing to devastate them.”
Just the mere juxtaposition of Armstrong with prosecutors seems to already be harming his image.
Although the investigation is on-going, public opinion may be start-ing to shift. Words such as “scan-dal” and “lie” and “steroids” are now the most popular phrases used to describe Armstrong, according to Zeta Interactive, a marketing firm that tracks online sentiments. In 2008, when Armstrong was the fourth-most talked about athlete, words used to describe him included “hero” and “legend” and “Nike”—a reference to one of his main spon-sors.
“Anyone or anything associated with Lance Armstrong should be very worried right now,” Zeta Inter-
active CEO Al DiGuido said. “He has faced these kinds of allegations before, but the fuel really seems to be kicking in this time.”
Fifty-eight percent of online sen-timents about Armstrong remain positive, according to Zeta’s rating system, but that’s down from 86 percent at the beginning of July and the first time that it has fallen below 60 percent.
Armstrong still has legions of fans too, including 2.6 million Twitter followers that track his musings on racing and life.
And his sponsors, for now, are standing behind him. Armstrong’s endorsements include deals with Nike Inc., RadioShack Corp., Oak-ley sunglasses, 24-hour Fitness, Nissan, Anheuser-Busch InBev’s Michelob Ultra, FRS energy drinks and Trek bikes.
Several of them also support Armstrong’s foundation, which he started after he beat cancer. It was the nation’s 10th largest cancer foundation, based on revenue in 2008, according to the most recent data from research firm GuideStar.

thumb, and I was starting to compensate. Just to pre-vent any further damage anywhere else, I wanted to get
it taken care of,” he said. “But 100 percent I wanted to be back for the Ryder Cup and try to do as much as I can to make that team. I think the timing was right.”
Kim was No. 2 in the U.S. rank-ings when he had the surgery on May 5. He’s only dropped to fifth despite the time away.
“To even fall to No. 5 isn’t a great feeling, but I know I can take care of that with some good play and not
worry about that,” he said.Just a couple of hours after he came out of surgery, he
called U.S. Ryder Cup captain Corey Pavin. He tried to make his case to not be forgotten while he was out.
“I told him, ‘Listen to this and I’m done, I won’t bother you again. I want to play on your team so bad that the reason I played hurt is to make the team. I promise you if you put me on the team, I’m going to have a good attitude going over there. I’m the kind of player you want,”’ he said.
Kim didn’t do anything terribly dramatic or adven-turous during his sabbatical. He hung around his house in Dallas with his friends, spent a lot of time with his mother and got a new French bulldog named Deebo.

by the name Royal Peeps. Their debut album “Alessia’s Walk” was inspired by Basso’s new-born daughter, now 2 years old, and the walks around Eagle they shared as a family.
It was a vehicle for inspira-tion, Basso said. He would return to his Eagle studio, the Funk Bunker, and start laying down tracks on instruments like the 1971 Lowrey Organ, which feeds into a high-tech recording system. Conceptually, however, the album was built around the base, Basso’s primary instru-ment.
“As a funk record, bring-ing Leo (Nocentelli) in was instrumental because he is a funk master of rhythms, and he began to layer his guitar work with my base. Then, we went to the drums, then keyboards, then vocals,” Basso said.
Tony Gulizia, a local jazz legend, said he was thrilled and honored to be a part of the proj-ect.
“The finished product is kill-er,” Tony G said. “It’s definitely one of the heaviest projects that has ever come out of the valley, if you think about the lineup of personnel. I always joke that I’m always the oldest cat in these bands, but Leo (Nocen-telli) is older than I am, which means he’s older than dirt.”
Basso, who is known around town for his previous work in Little Hercules, first met Nocentelli at State Bridge in 2002 when he approached the funk ledged with a pic-ture he had taken of a Meters performance in Pennsyl-vania 10 years prior. After the meeting, Basso was able to begin playing with the musician he calls his “idol and mentor,” but “Alessia’s Walk” represents the first time they’ve played in a band and put out a record to-gether.
The demo was written in a single year and the com-plete scores were sent to artists in L.A., Chicago, New Orleans, New York City and Colorado. As the producer, Basso would fly to the various musical hotbeds for re-cording sessions. MP3 files were also sent to the artists via email, and they would work off what had already been laid down.
“The final product turned out to be what you might expect if the Meters, Pink Floyd and Crystal Method had a baby,” Basso said. “But, the songs themselves are written about the time you spend with the people you love. In this case, I was all inspired by my first child.”
While the record was produced independently by Basso, he’s working on a deal with Warner Bros. to potentially sell the masters for a two-year period, dur-ing which he would surrender about 60 percent of the profits. But he said having a major record label distrib-uting the album all over the world would greatly in-crease sales and also help get the word out about Royal Peeps, who have already begun recording their second album.
The entire Royal Peeps band has never played to-gether in the same room or played a live show for that matter, but Basso is hoping that their first performance will be in Vail this winter, perhaps for Street Beat.
“With the release happening now, we’re planning shows for the winter. These guys are all down for do-ing it,” Basso said.
The album is currently being played on local stations KZYR and KLNX, but you should either swing by Mojo Music in Avon or visit www.RoyalPeepsMusic.com to pick up a copy.
The photo Eagle resident Cristian Basso took of Leo Nocentelli at a Meters show in Pennsylvania in 1992. 10 years later he presented the picture to Nocentelli -- who Basso calls his idol -- at a show in State Bridge, and the two have been making music together ever since. Their new band Royal Peeps released its first record this week.

they offer a thorough, accredited approach to sustainable cuisine, will include a shorter offering for food service professionals and a longer program for culinary arts students. Both options will focus on the principle of sustainability, or meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs, Rymer said.
“Our current food system relies on importing our community’s food and degrades our health, security, economy, soil, water, air and rela-tionships,” Rymer said. “This pro-gram offers students the opportu-nity to learn about these issues and alternatives that can improve the quality of our health, community and environment.”
Fall semester starts week of Aug. 30
Coursework toward the Sustain-
able Cuisine Operations I certificate will introduce students to the rap-idly expanding area of food service operations based on the principles of sustainability. Students will learn basic cooking skills and the essen-tials for working in a successful sustainable food service operation. To earn the certificate, students take 21 college credits and undergo al-most 400 hours of hands-on train-ing.
A shorter certificate program in Sustainable Cuisine Operations II is targeted at professionals already working in the culinary arts, who want to create and operate success-ful sustainable food service opera-tions. Students will learn ways to cost-effectively improve an opera-tion’s environmental and social im-pacts. The certificate requires that students complete five credit hours and almost 100 hours of hands-on training.
The hands-on cooking portions of the classes will be taught in the new professionally equipped learning kitchen shared by Colorado Moun-tain College at the neighboring Bat-tle Mountain High School.
Raised garden beds were con-structed on the campus grounds this spring and are already producing delicious organic vegetables, said Rymer. Future plans for the pro-gram include a greenhouse space so students can extend the grow-ing season to a full 12 months. The 500-square-foot greenhouse, using energy-efficient design innovations, is part of the campus renovation and expansion plans that will kick off this summer in Edwards.
More information on the sus-tainable cuisine certificates is available by contacting Rymer at 970-569-2920 or [email protected].
