THE UPDATE

Concierge Auctions will host a live, on-site real estate auction this week of a Cordillera home that was originally listed for $9.5 million.

The property, located at 50 Spring Creek Place, is selling Absolute, mean-ing it will sell to the highest bidder, re-gardless of price.

“I know I am taking a risk by selling Absolute; however, I weighed the deci-sion with great thought,” said seller Da-vid White. “I am willing to risk allowing the buyers to identify the price in return for a guaranteed sale on September 30th.”

The Thursday auction is being con-ducted in cooperation with Suzi Apple of Gateway Land & Development.

“50 Spring Creek Place is one of the finest homes that has ever been built in the entire Vail Valley in my 30 year ca-reer,” said Apple. “This auction format

presents an unprecedented opportunity for any buyer interested in living the Vail lifestyle.”

Inspired by the romantic architectural style found in the remote mountain vil-lages of Italy, 50 Spring Creek Place is 11,026 square feet of living area with

five bedrooms, seven and one-half bath-rooms, and overlooks Spring Creek with the Sawatch Mountain Range as its backdrop. The outdoor living areas con-tain more than 1,000 square feet of stone terraces.

As a preferred auction provider to So-

theby’s International and other luxury brokerage firms, the principals of Con-cierge Auctions have been involved in the transfer of more than $2 billion in luxury real estate sales over the past 10 years. The company’s CEO, George Graham, is excited about working in the Vail Valley.

“We are pleased to be working in Vail, Colorado, one of the most beautiful and sought-after mountain destinations in the world, and particularly in renown Cor-dillera,” said Graham. “Concierge Auc-tions only represents the most motivated sellers with the most premier properties in the most exclusive locations, and both this seller and property are ideal candi-dates.”

Graham calls Absolute the truest form of auction.

“On September 30th buyers will be able to bid with confidence, knowing that these are the most motivated sellers in the region, and will identify the property’s true value through live competition.”

The auction will be held live, on-site at 11 a.m. on Thursday. Attendance will be limited to registered bidders and their representatives. The property is avail-able for preview daily from 1 to 4 p.m. and by appointment. A 3 percent com-mission is offered to the buyer’s broker. See Auction Terms and Conditions for full details. For more information, visit www.VailLuxuryAuction.com or call 866-818-6986.

Bud Light’s fall concert series contin-ues tonight with soulful rocker Martin Sexton.

One of the most admired artists in the “new folk” acoustic music scene, Sexton blends many genres of American music, including soul, gospel, country, rock, blues and R&B. He has an unfathomable vocal range and makes improvisation his own art-form. Sexton’s style is often compared to that of Van Morrison, Al Green, Aaron Neville and Otis Redding.

Sexton’s uncanny ability to connect the personal to the universal via songs —mating heartfelt, unflinchingly candid lyrics with genre-spanning performances

— has earned him a devoted following among fans and critics alike. The New York Times wrote that Sexton, “jumps beyond standard fare on the strength of his voice, a blue-eyed soul man’s supple instrument . . . his unpretentious hearti-ness helps him focus on every soul sing-er’s goal: to amplify the sound of the ordinary heart.”

Sexton’s latest album, “Sugarcoating,” finds this one-of-a-kind writer/artist do-ing what he does best: locating larger truths within the specific details of the life he’s living. “I write from personal experience — my own hang-ups and

The first of three rescue capsules spe-cially built to lift out 33 miners trapped since early August arrived at the mine yesterday.

Two back-up rescue devices con-structed at Chile’s naval shipyard are expected to be delivered next week.

The man-size capsule will be used to pull the miners out one by one once one of the three rescue holes being drilled reach the men. The government says that should happen by early November or earlier if all goes well.

Mining Minister Laurence Golborne showed off the first capsule to rela-tives of the trapped miners yesterday.

To the Editor:The granddaddy of all shopping extravaganzas, the

Eagle Valley Community Fund Rummage Sale, en-joyed an extremely successful sale in August. This was the second-best event in its 46-year history, generating a whopping $189, 432.00 during the four-day event in Maloit Park. That translates into needed funds for more than 65 local non-profit groups.

The sale would not be possible without the coordinat-ed efforts of so many community members, so grateful thanks go out to:

•All the individuals and businesses who donate the clean, useable items that fill the 14 rooms of the fa-cility, as well as the items for the silent and live auc-tions. (donations are currently being taken for next summer’s sale at Maloit Park and for large pickups call 476-5701.)

•The efforts of all the volunteers that put in about 16,000 hours of time to sort, fold and mark the moun-tain of donated items that transformed the former school into a department store venue. Volunteers also mended and washed clothing, checked and repaired appliances, computers, televisions, lamps, alphabetized books, di-rected traffic, served lunch, coffee and donuts, put out flyers, cleaned and performed many other tasks to make

the event run smoothly.•To Jac Laman for his auctioneering skills.•To all those savvy bargain hunters who came and

shopped, shopped, shopped.•To businesses who allowed posters to be placed in

their windows to advertise the sale.•To the media: Mark Bricklin of The Vail Daily, Lyn-

da Gustafson and Tricia Swenson of TV8, Pam Boyd of The Eagle Valley Enterprise, John LaConte of The Vail Mountaineer and Tony Mauro of KZYR, who donated ads, wrote stories, took photos and conducted inter-views that were instrumental in getting the word out to the community, generating donations, volunteers and shoppers.

It takes a community to put on a unique, successful event like this rummage sale, but the efforts will be widespread as funds are dispersed to sweeten the cof-fers of so many local non-profit groups.

Thank you to everyone involved,The Eagle Valley Community Fund Auction and

Rummage Sale Board of Directors: Vi Brown, Nancy Nottingham, Merv Lapin, Ken Mason, Sue Mott, Gail Newman, Valerie Wegert, Darrell Wegert, Ottalie Car-lin, Mike Brown, Nancy Gamble, Marka Moser, Lor-raine Haslee, Patty Plagen Dixon and Sharon Dale .

Top architects compete for shot at designing Vail Pass wildlife overpassContest draws finalists from New York, Amsterdam

Five design teams from around the world came to the top of Vail Pass yesterday to start drawing up plans for a bridge – for animals.

The teams represented architectural design compa-nies from as far as the Netherlands. They were invited to the Antlers in Vail as finalists in the ARC Interna-tional Wildlife Crossing Infrastructure Design Compe-tition.

The contest was first organized as a collaboration between the Western Transportation Institute and the Woodcock Foundation, and has also received sup-port from Federal Highway Administration Edmonton Community Foundation and U.S. Forest Service.

Each of the finalists has been given $15,000 and tasked with designing a bridge that is supposed to help wildlife cross I-70 at the top of Vail Pass. Competitors

Professional dancers, choreogra-phers, musicians, and composers from Colorado based Celebrate the Beat (CTB) have partnered with PEACE, a Mexican non-profit, to host an inspirational evening of cocktails, contemporary Italian cui-sine, and a children’s dance perfor-mance. Proceeds from this special evening will go to support Vail Val-ley Foundation’s CTB school pro-grams in Eagle County and Peace CTB programs in Mexico.

Through inspirational music and dance classes the Vail Valley Foundation’s CTB program helps children discover their potential by motivating them to believe in them-selves, value artistic expression, and develop a personal standard of excellence. Celebrate the Beat cur-rently serves over 1,500 students in

Colorado, and this year CTB has partnered with PEACE to imple-ment their programs with the dis-advantaged students from Punta de Mita, Mexico.

“The kids that are sometimes overlooked in the classroom be-come stars on stage. You can see their hard work and their growing confidence and enthusiasm,” said Molly Fisher, Founder and Direc-tor of PEACE. “We hope this event will strengthen awareness about the

importance of creatively investing in children.”

One half of the proceeds will go to support PEACE sponsored CTB programs in Punta de Mita, Mexi-co. The other half of the proceeds will directly benefit the Vail Valley Foundation’s CTB programs in lo-cal schools. The Vail Valley’s CTB program is an education project of the Vail Valley Foundation. For more information about Vail Valley Foundation’s CTB program, visit http://www.vvf.org/vvf/info/educa-tion.celebrate-the-beat.aspx

Senate candidates battleover Veterans’ health care

Democrat Michael Bennet’s campaign continued to hammer Republican Senatorial rival Ken Buck for say-ing he believes that the private sector is better suited than the government to run a veterans administration’s hospital.

Buck’s campaign fired back, however, saying that Bennet’s campaign is trying to mislead the media and voters with a video clip that doesn’t tell the whole sto-ry.

Bennet’s campaign held a press conference with Democrat lawmakers and veterans to blast Buck for the “troubling” comment he made at a Tea Party event earlier this year. The comment, in which Buck said, “Would a veteran’s administration hospital that is run by the private sector be better run then by the public sector? In my view, yes;” came in a small clip circu-lated by the Bennet campaign.

Despite having some issues along the way, veterans are continually more satisfied with their government-run health care compared to people with private health providers, according to the American Customer Sat-isfaction index. Artie Guerrero, a veteran who was wounded in Vietnam, said at Bennet’s press conference Wednesday that the government should continue to provide health care for veterans.

“To turn it over to bureaucrats and the bureaucracy that have absolutely no knowledge of military process or the VA process would be totally wrong,” he said.

Meanwhile, Buck’s campaign said Bennet is lying to veterans by claiming that the Republican candidate wants to privatize VA hospitals. Buck does not want to privatize VA health care, according to Buck campaign

spokesman Owen Loftus.Prior to saying he thought the private sector would do

a better job running a VA hospital, Buck said at the Tea Party rally that he believed the government should take a lead in a government/private partnership for health care for veterans. Bennet’s campaign did not include Buck’s full comment in the original video clip they cir-culated.

“Bennet should be concerned about a longer narra-tive coming out from his campaign, and that’s that he can’t be trusted,” Loftus said.

But Bennet’s campaign argued that Buck’s quote in which he seemingly supported the private sector run-ning a VA hospital speaks for itself. For his part, Loftus said that Buck’s quote was his way of saying that the government needs to do a better job of providing health care to veterans.

Bennet and Buck supporters both acknowledged that the government run VA health care system isn’t per-fect. An expose run by the Washington Post in 2007 found that the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, the “Army’s top medical facility,” had become a “messy bureaucratic battlefield nearly as chaotic as the real bat-tlefields they faced overseas” due to the ongoing wars. Buck’s campaign manager John Swartout said the Wal-ter Reed hospital is proof that the government doesn’t always provide the best service, though the hospital often relies on private contractors and is run by the De-partment of Defense.

Guerrero added that while he sometimes wonders why the government doesn’t act faster to help provide care for veterans, the quality of care has always been great.

“If we were to turn it over to a privatized organiza-tion it would be disastrous,” he said.

The Avengers are like the justice league of the Marvel Comics world, and since Marvel has been absolutely dominating its longtime competitor DC on the movie scene for the last decade or so, it’s no surprise the Avengers titles are the top sellers at Eagle Valley Music and Comics in West Vail.

In the upcoming Avengers movie, Samuel L. Jackson will play Colonel Nick Fury, Scarlett Johansson will play Black Widow, Robert Downey Jr. will be Ironman, Mark Ruffalo the Hulk and Jeremy Renner Hawkeye.

Behind “The Avengers: The Heroic Age” No. 5, which was the top seller at the local comic shop last week, was “Secret Avengers: the Heroic Age,” also No. 5, which is just a new a version of the old super hero team. The more modern Avengers operate as a black ops unit under the guidance and leadership of Captain Steve Rogers, the former Captain America 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 John-ny “The Human Torch” Storm in the Fantastic Four movies. Before the Avengers 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.

Stoltz, a two-time Olympi-an, completed the 1-mile swim, 20-mile mountain bike ride, and 7-mile run in 2:24:03, five full minutes in front of last year’s race winner, Nicolas Lebrun from France, who also won the Beaver Creek XTERRA event in July. Middaugh’s time was 2:29:38.

With the victory, Stoltz also won the six-stop XTERRA U.S. Pro Series for the eighth time since 2001, and took home $12,500 in prize money.

More than 1,000 racers from 40 states and 10 countries took part in yesterday’s events, which also included a short and long course off-road tri and a half-marathon trail run.

Luxury in one of Vail’s best neighborhoods

It doesn’t get much better than living minutes from the amenities of Lionshead with the privacy of a quiet road.

716 A Forest Road is a recently remolded duplex lo-cated in one of Vail’s most finest neighborhoods.

The five-bedroom, five-bath residence offers easy ski-in access off the Prima ski run, complete with mud-room for changing in and out of ski gear. Homeowners can easily walk into Lionshead for shopping and din-ing, but in a private setting.

The kitchen is complete with granite slab counter-tops, top of the line appliances and characterized by a unique metropolitan design adjacent to a comfy den with big screen TV – because the kitchen is where ev-eryone winds up hanging out anyway, right?

The kitchen also offers easy access to the back pa-tio surrounded by towering aspens, which includes, of course, a hot tub to sooth the ski muscles after a long day on the hill.

The primary living room, with views of surrounding hills, is currently arranged as a formal space for en-tertaining guests or relaxing with a book, but it could easily be set up to include a entertainment area. Half a level above, there is also a large dining area for those big Thanksgiving dinners.

The home boasts primary and secondary masters with full limestone baths, surrounded by an aspen grove ap-propriate for Colorado.

There is also spacious upper patio that is currently unfinished, but could certainly be decked out (no pun intended) to host parties or serve as a private outdoor lounge area in the summertime.

The home is suited for a big family, perhaps grand-kids, potentially sleeping as many as 12 people.

There is a 1½-car garage – essentially you could store a small sports car in there along with a primary vehicle – and plenty of space for storage and toys.

Bomb scare diverts plane; may have been a hoax

Canadian police are investigating whether a phoned-in hoax caused a Pakistani jet to be diverted to Stock-holm for several hours Saturday for fear that one of its passengers was carrying explosives.

Police evacuated 273 people from the jet, and briefly detained a Canadian man, after an anonymous caller in Canada tipped-off authorities that the suspect was car-rying explosives.

However, no explosives were found on the man, who was released after questioning by police, or on the Boe-ing 777 from Pakistan International Airlines, which had been bound from Toronto to Karachi, Pakistan.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said it was investigating whether the incident was a “terrorism hoax.”

“If the information is deemed to be a hoax, the per-son who passed along that information can be charged for public mischief,” said spokeswoman Sgt. Julie Ga-gnon in Ottawa.

8 million ways to die, choose one

San Quentin Prison’s warden walked to the death row cell of Albert Greenwood Brown on Aug. 31 and read a warrant informing him of his scheduled execu-tion this week.

Prison staff then examined the convicted rapist and murderer to ensure his veins were healthy enough to handle a lethal injection scheduled for Wednesday. And, then, just as quickly, a federal judge on Friday refused to block the execution, or reconsider the deci-sion on Saturday.

With that, Brown made a surprising leap to the top of the long list of California death row inmates facing ex-ecution. Certainly, it was unforeseen by legal experts, by the federal judge who halted executions in 2006 and by Brown’s own lawyers.

Late Saturday, U.S. District Court Judge Jeremy Fo-gel extended a deadline until noon Sunday that allows Brown to choose his execution method. He can decide between a lethal injection of one drug or the three-drug cocktail California has used in its last 12 executions.

Fogel said he would cancel the execution if prison of-ficials refused a request for a one-drug execution. But in court filings Friday and Saturday, the state said it was prepared to carry out such an execution.

Mexico nabs trafficker poised to replace capo

Mexican authorities have arrested an alleged traf-ficker known as “The Tiger” who they say shipped a half-ton of drugs to the U.S. each month and may have been poised to take over for a dead capo in the Sinaloa cartel. Federal police said Saturday that Margarito Soto

Reyes, 44, was detained along with eight alleged ac-complices near the western city of Guadalajara, but could not immediately specify when or in what circum-stances the capture occurred.

Police said Soto Reyes allegedly traded in synthetic drugs on routes established by former Sinaloa leader Ignacio “Nacho” Coronel, who was killed in a gunbat-tle with soldiers in July.

“Intelligence reports indicate that amid the reorgani-zation within the Sinaloa cartel after the death of Igna-cio Coronel ... ‘The Tiger’ was able to use the so-called Southern Pacific route” presumably operated by Coro-nel, a federal police statement said.

It said officers seized drugs, weapons and cash during the arrests of Soto Reyes and his alleged accomplices. Those detained included a man who allegedly posed as a veterinarian to acquire precursor chemicals for syn-thetics drugs like methamphetamines, and two women who allegedly helped operate a synthetic drug lab.

Also Saturday, police in the northern state of Chihua-hua announced they had found the bodies of six men piled in a sport utility vehicle on a roadside in a remote, southern area of the state. The men had all apparently been shot in the head. And in the border city of Ciudad Juarez, unidentified assailants dumped the hacked-up body of a man on a street.

5 shot, 1 fatally, at NJ house party

A man who was denied access to a private party at an apartment near Seton Hall University left and returned with a handgun, then fatally shot a student and wound-ed four people, sending screaming partygoers rushing out the door and climbing out windows.

Seton Hall student Jessica Moore, 19, died from her injuries Saturday afternoon, said Katherine Carter, a spokeswoman for the Essex County Prosecutor’s Of-fice. Moore had been hospitalized in critical condition after the shooting just before 12:20 a.m.

The other four victims were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, and one has been released, said East Orange Police Sgt. Andrew Di Elmo.

The victims did not know the shooter, who fled from the apartment on foot, Di Elmo said. Police offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to the suspect’s capture.

Police said that two of the wounded are both 19-year-old women who go to Seton Hall, and one is a 25-year-old man who attends the New Jersey Institute of Tech-nology. The fifth victim is a 20-year-old man from New York City who is not a student.

8 shot, 1 fatally, at LA house party

Authorities say eight people were shot—one fatal-ly—and another three stabbed after a fight broke out at a birthday party in east Los Angeles.

Police spokesman Cleon Joseph said Saturday that at least one suspect is being sought in the shootings that erupted just after 2 a.m. at a house in the Boyle Heights neighborhood.

Joseph says a dispute escalated to the point where several people pulled out knives and guns. Police said earlier that 10 people had been shot. Police said

Ill. anti-war activists targeted by FBI speak outTwo anti-war activists said Saturday that a 12-hour

search of their Chicago home by the FBI was an at-tempt to intimidate them and silence the peace move-ment.

Joe Iosbaker and his wife, Stephanie Weiner, said the government targeted them because they’ve been outspoken against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and U.S. funding of conflicts abroad. They denied any wrongdoing.

The FBI said it searched eight addresses in Minneap-olis and Chicago Friday. Warrants suggest agents were looking for connections between local anti-war activ-ists and groups in Colombia and the Middle East.

Iosbaker and Weiner declined to discuss their rela-tionship with any groups abroad, citing their upcoming testimony before a grand jury on Oct. 5.

“These raids, searches and grand jury investigations are nothing more than an attempt to intimidate us and to intimidate the anti-war movement,” Iosbaker said. “We have done nothing wrong.”

FBI spokesman Paul Bresson said Saturday that the bureau’s investigations “are predicated on criminal vi-olations, not First Amendment protected activities.”

Chavez fights to keep control in legislative voteGoing into today’s legislative elections, President

Hugo Chavez pitched his candidates like a salesman, promising Venezuelans he will give them low-interest credit cards and discounted appliances from washing machines to TV sets.

Chavez turned to his long successful populist appeals seeking to woo voters more concerned with their pock-etbooks than with his socialist politics. He is trying to hold off a determined challenge by the opposition, which is intent on breaking Chavez’s stranglehold on the National Assembly for the first time in his presi-dency.

“I want us to win the elections by knockout!” Chavez told cheering supporters during one of his final cam-paign rallies, standing amid allied candidates dressed in his party’s signature red.

Chavez’s allies have had near total control of the con-gress since opposition parties boycotted the last leg-islative elections in 2005. If Chavez’s opponents can deny him a two-thirds majority, they would have more clout in trying to check his sweeping powers. The vote

is also a referendum on Chavez himself before the next presidential election in 2012. Polls suggest he remains the most popular politician in Venezuela, yet surveys also say his approval ratings have slipped in the past two years as disenchantment has grown over problems including rampant crime, poorly administered public services and 30 percent inflation.

Lohan spends less than a day in LA jail

Lindsay Lohan was freed from a suburban Los Ange-les jail late Friday night, well short of the nearly month-long stay a judge had intended for the actress following a failed drug test.

Lohan was released at about 11:40 p.m. after posting $300,000 bail, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Depart-ment spokesman Steve Whitmore said early Saturday.

Celebrity website TMZ.com reported her release just before midnight.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Elden Fox had ordered Lohan held without bail during a brief hear-ing Friday morning, But his ruling later was overturned after the “Mean Girls” star’s attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, filed a late-afternoon appeal seeking bail.

Judge Patricia Schnegg, who is an assistant supervis-ing judge of LA’s criminal courts, issued a ruling short-ly before 6 p.m., saying that since the starlet had been convicted of misdemeanors, she was entitled to bail.

The actress is not entirely free. She will be required to wear an ankle alcohol monitor and stay away from establishments that primarily sell alcohol.

Lehman Bros. assets provide relief from trouble

Lehman Brothers may have blundered its way to di-saster on Wall Street, but at least the bank’s art curators knew what they were doing.

An auction of contemporary artworks held by the failed investment firm and its former subsidiary, Neu-berger Berman, brought in nearly $12.3 million Satur-day, according to Sotheby’s.

The auction house said many of the works sold for far more than what Lehman and Neuberger paid. Prof-its will help pay the bank’s many creditors.

Top sellers at the Manhattan auction included an ink and acrylic work by the Ethiopian artist Julie Mehretu called “Untitled 1,” which fetched a little over $1 mil-lion, and Liu Ye’s oil painting, “The Long Way Home,” which sold for $962,500.

Art in the collection once hung in Lehman’s Manhat-tan headquarters, but the works weren’t acquired sim-ply to beautify the offices of executives and impress clients. Lehman and Neuberger Berman both purchased art as an investment.

Russians pay off karaoke winner in dumplings

A technician for an American telephone company has won the top prize of 1 million Russian dumplings in the Karaoke World Championships.

Edward Pimentel won the unusual prize early Sun-day in Moscow after getting the most votes from audi-ence members.

A panel of judges chose two Finns as the male and fe-male champions -- Sam Moudden and Maria Saarima-Ylitalo. They were awarded karaoke machines.

Amateur singers from 16 countries took part in the three-day competition.

Pimentel, from Albuquerque, New Mexico, favors the R-and-B genre. For his song in the final round, he chose Usher’s “DJ’s got Us Fallin’ In Love.”

Wyo. man douses himself in paint to avoid Taser

A Cheyenne man who doused himself with white la-tex paint in hopes of avoiding a police Taser was hit with the stun gun anyway.

The Taser chase happened Sept. 16, when Cheyenne police went to Brian Mattert’s house on a domestic vi-olence call. The Wyoming Tribune Eagle reports that when police arrived, Mattert thought they’d use a Taser on him, so he hastily covered himself in paint and told officers that if they shot him with the stun gun, he’d die.

Officers told him the paint wouldn’t affect the Taser’s capability. According to police, Mattert scuffled with officers and was hit with a Taser twice before officers handcuffed him.

He faces several criminal charges. Police say the of-ficers’ uniforms had to be cleaned.

Beaver Liquors probably facing same problem

A rural Georgia county is losing about 550 street signs a years to thieves and a commissioner says he has a solution: Make the names boring.

McIntosh County Commissioner Mark Douglas serves a rural county about 60 miles south of Savannah. He says signs marking Green Acres, Boone’s Farm and Mary Jane Lane are frequently stolen.

He suspects the thieves are targeting those signs because they share names with a popular TV series, a low-cost wine or, in the third case, a slang term for marijuana.

It’s become a costly problem. County Manager Lu-ther Smart says the area is paying $17,000 a year to replace the signs.

get paid to travel.”The show starts at 7:30 p.m. at the

Vilar Performing Arts Center in Beaver Creek and is presented by The Dusty Boot, which is offering a three-course dinner for two plus two tickets to the concert for $50. Tickets to the show are

otherwise $30 apiece, so two tickets and two dinners from the Dusty Boot is actu-ally cheaper than two tickets and no din-ners from the box office. It’s hard to be-lieve, we know. That’s why we verified it by calling the Dusty Boot at 748-1146, which is also where you’ll want to call to

make reservations. But if you’d rather pay $60 for two

tickets, you can get them at www.vilar-pac.org, by calling 970.845.TIXS (8497) or in person at the box office in Beaver Creek.

BUDDY NEEDS A BUDDY. He is an 8-year old yellow lab mix, weighing in at 99 lbs. of nothing but love. He is well behaved indoors, very obedient, and does well with other dogs, cats and older kids. To meet Buddy, call 970-328-3647 or stop by the Eagle County Animal Shelter at 1400 Fairgrounds Road in Eagle. They are open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and they are always looking for foster homes and volunteers.

will be allowed to design the structure as they see fit, but the design will have to cross six lanes of highway at the mile 187.4 mark on I-70. The winning design will receive $40,000. The entries will be judged on their cost effectiveness, func-tionality and innovation of design.

The competition is the first of its kind in North America, but wildlife crossings have been around in the United States and Canada for decades. Perhaps the most famous of these projects are the overpasses in Banff National Park in Al-berta, Canada.

In designing the competition, orga-nizers sought out a project that would attract the same amount of attention to the issue. The organizers reviewed 22 different potential sites in several states around the nation, but chose Vail Pass because of a demonstrated need, interest from local transportation authorities in constructing wildlife overpasses in the future, and the high profile of Colorado wildlife like deer, elk, mountain lions and lynx.

“There’s something about megafau-na that captures public attention and is good for projects like this,” said Tony Clevenger, an ecologist who has been studying the wildlife crossings in Banff National Park. Clevenger was one of several experts who spoke at a special reception for the contestants at the Ant-lers Hotel in Vail.

The competitors also heard from rep-resentatives from the Forest Service, De-partment of Wildlife and Western Gover-nor’s Association, all of which stressed the importance of building the profile of such projects.

One of the event’s organizers read a letter of support from Rep. Jared Polis (D – Colo.), who represents the Vail Val-ley but could not be present because he is still in Washington D.C.

“This project is being watched closely by Washington,” Polis wrote. “I hope federal funds will be part of the final plan to build it.”

At this point, no funds have been allo-cated to build the project, but organizers are optimistic that it or a similar project will be adopted in the near future by the Colorado Department of Transportation.

CDOT does not have any financial

stake in the competition, but has agreed to consider all finalists “pre-qualified” for any request for proposals to build a wildlife structure along I-70.

“We’re partners, but there’s been no exchange of money, said Rob Ament of the Western Transportation Institute

In CDOT’s Programmatic Environ-mental Impact Statement for renova-tions to the I-70 corridor, a document that a CDOT representative described as a “30,000-foot view,” of the overall proj-ect to reduce traffic on the I-70 through the mountains, CDOT reported that there was a potential need for as many as 13 wildlife crossings in the corridor.

The construction of a 60-meter over-pass in Banff cost about $12 million, Celevenger said, but new projects could come in at a much lower cost.

Asked if taxpayers would support state spending to protect deer and elk, Ament and Clevenger both said that the project would ultimately be cost effec-tive. By allowing wildlife to bypass traf-fic while crossing the highway, the high-way would eventually pay for itself by keeping down costs incurred by wildlife collisions, including costs to vehicles, to road crews responsible for cleaning up road kill and the cost to human life., they said.

The five finalists were selected from 36 teams from nine countries, and came from as far as Amsterdam, New York or Toronto to see the hypothetical site for the overpass.

Because there is no guarantee of a contract even if they win the contest, the teams said they were not motivated by direct financial gain, but by the op-portunity to work creatively and the collaborate with those working outside their field.

For some, the contest is part of a solu-tion to what they say is a far more seri-ous problem: that of mankind’s impact on the natural world.

“The world is going to end if people don’t start paying attention to it,” said Janet Rosenberg, of Janet Rosenberg and Associates, the finalist from Toronto.

Designs will go before judges in early November, and the award will be pre-sented in January.
