Kenny Loggins, by self-ad-mission, has never had a

very good relationship with time.

The veteran musician has authored and sung some of the most well known movie songs in the nation, including “Dan-ger Zone” for “Top Gun” and the theme for “Footloose.” It might be easy to label him a relic from the ‘70s and ‘80s, or for the iconic artist to ride on the success of his smash hits. But instead, he’s reinventing himself with a whole new project. These days he’s on tour with a new band, the Blue

Sky Riders, a collaborative project between Loggins, and songwriters Georgia Middleman and Gary Burr. The trio’s harmonic delivery of a mix of country, pop and rock ‘n’ roll results in what Loggins describes as a blend of Fleetwood Mac, Lady Antebellum and The Rolling Stones.

When Loggins pitched the idea for the new group to an advisor, the friend told him he was too old to start a new band. Of course, Loggins did so anyway, and the conversa-tion became part of a Blue Sky Riders song, “Dream.”

“It’s one of the best songs of the album,” says Loggins. “It’s kind of the theme song of the band, that you never are too old to reinvent yourself.”

The group, on the heels of recently released debut album

“Finally Home,” opens for Loggins’ solo show at the Vilar Center on July 20. While Loggins’ main act will feature some of his most well known hits, the Blue Sky Riders opener will introduce audiences to original, pop-and-rock flavored country tunes. Loggins says his audiences have been very receptive to the new band, and he considers the Loggins/Blue Sky Riders line-up a joint tour.

“Even though Blue Sky Riders is the opening act, I guess the message for my audience is, ‘Don’t show up late!’” Log-gins says. “My show is a hits show, with material from Log-gins and Messina and so on, so I used Blue Sky Riders to do something legacy artists often want to do to stay relevant. I’m not just walking around my house humming songs from the ‘80s – we’re viable, and it’s a way to turn audiences on to what I’m up to lately.”

Music veterans, new soundWhile Loggins’ name might be the most familiar of the

trio, as the performer behind a string of movie hit songs and half the successful pop-rock duo Loggins and Messina (with Jim Messina), chances are you’ve heard from Burr and Mid-dleman as well.

Middleman, a Nashville songwriter, has penned songs for Keith Urban, Faith Hill, Kenny Chesney and Reba McEn-tire, among others, and brings a sultry female voice to the trio. Burr originally arrived in Nashville to play on stage but ended up an award-winning songwriter. He’s penned 13 no. 1 hits and has written songs for Tim McGraw, Reba McEn-tire, LeAnn Rimes, Ricky Martin and Christina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson and played and written with Ringo Starr and Carole King.

Together, the three pack some serious songwriting power, and the result of their team efforts is a unique sound that listeners won’t necessarily connect with Loggins alone. That songwriting chemistry is what originally brought the band together, says Middleman. Loggins met Burr and had batted around the idea of a new band. He was looking for a female

Few courses on the national XTERRA circuit are quite as daunting as the Beaver Creek

edition.

The off-road triathlon is the U.S. XTERRA circuit’s Mountain Championship race, and will test hundreds of competitors from around the world on a course that is quintessentially “mountain” – a cold dip in Avon’s Nottingham Lake, a lung-busting, switchbacked climb up to the ski lifts, and once you’re 3,600 feet higher than where you started, throw in six miles of running through the woods. For anyone who doesn’t live and train in the mountains, such as local pro and reigning champ Josiah Middaugh, the sheer elevation (it starts at nearly

7,500 feet) is half the battle. Saturday, July 20 and Sunday, July 21 mark the fifth year the event will be hosted at Beaver Creek, and the competition is already heating up.

Middaugh leads the charge in the men’s pro race as the hometown favorite (he even de-signed the course) and following up from 2012, which was his best season to date. However, South African Dan Hugo is hot on his heels and fresh off a win at the XTERRA East Cham-pionship. Both men, however, have also faced either sickness or injury in the past couple months that added minor hiccups to their training. Regardless, good showing by Hugo at Beaver Creek could make the bid for the Pro Series title a two-man race.

We chatted with the two competitors about the upcoming showdown, breaking down the course and what it will take to come out with the win.

Josiah MiddaughKey sections on this course? The first 5 miles of the bike

climbs 2,000 vertical feet, so that first climb really sets the tone for the race. Big time gaps can develop, so it is impor-tant for me to work into a good position early.

What makes XTERRA Beaver Creek unique? The high altitude and the amazing vistas on top of Beaver Creek make this race unique. Singletrack climbing on the bike and the run through aspen glades is also very scenic.

What will it take from you to beat Hugo or any other challenger this year? Dan is a very well-rounded triathlete in all three disciplines. When he his racing well, he can be very tough to beat on any course. Hopefully my experience and specific training for this race will make the difference. It can be hard to predict the performance of competitors, so there may be someone off my radar that could be a very strong challenger. All I can control is my own effort, and I think I have the fitness to perform better than ever before on this course.

Any hiccups in your season so far this year? I’m feeling good now, so that is all that matters. Every athlete deals with adversity and my hiccups have been pretty minor this year. (He had a short bout with pneumonia earlier in the summer). So far I have won the first two XTERRA Championship races in the U.S. Series, but both were hard-fought victories.

Best and worst moments at Beaver Creek? The first year the Mountain Championship was in Beaver Creek ,I hit a sign post at mile 2 of the bike and tacoed my front wheel. I finished third after jumping on the wheel until it would roll through the fork and riding the entire race with the wheel rubbing on the frame. Other years I have made training er-rors that cost me good performances on my home course. My best moment was finally putting it all together and win-ning the race two years ago.

Dan HugoKey sections on this course? I am very hesitant to ex-

press any confidence for Beaver Creek. It is such a unique, high-altitude event. I believe pacing is likely key, never dip-ping into oxygen deficit for long. But I am not versed and skilled at high elevations like this - I just know from my one outing in Beaver Creek that heroics are not rewarded here.

What makes XTERRA Beaver Creek unique? I look forward to seeing the venue. I recall it being real pretty. I just wish we were rewarded with some descending for all that climbing, but that is what makes the route stand out - it is a hill climb.

What will it take from you to beat Middaugh or any other challenger this year? To be frank, I don’t believe Jo-siah to be beatable on this course. Not by me, anyhow. I hope he proves me wrong.

Any hiccups in your season so far this year? Sadly the past month has been sub-optimal with a hip injury costing me training time. I had to withdraw from an XTERRA in South Africa (a couple weeks ago), so at this point for Bea-ver Creek, I am optimistic that I’ll be able to compete, but

realize it will be a tough day out in a beautiful setting. Best and worst moments at Beaver Creek? I just have

a worst moment. I really struggled here in 2010, so much so I vowed never to return. But having missed Vegas as the season opener, I am obligated to try get some points for the series in Beaver Creek.

Amateurs to watchThe pros may make headlines, but there are some ambitious amateurs out there.

Here are a couple competitors who just might steal the show.

Hannah Rae FinchampThe 17-year-old XTERRA phenom from Altadena, Calif., won the overall amateur titles at both the XTERRA Na-

tional Championship and XTERRA World Championship in 2012, and this year she’s already taken the XTERRA West Championship.

Since taking the off-road triathlon scene by storm at the age of 14, Finchamp has progressed at a frighteningly fast pace and now is a member of the LUNA Pro Team. The often pigtailed high schooler began her athletic pursuits at the age of nine, when she noticed her favorite part of playing team soccer was not scoring or the team dynamics, but running – she never got tired. She asked her mother to sign her up for a running race, and from there she picked up swimming and biking (now her strongest discipline.)

She might be one of the few competitors this weekend who has to do math problems after the race. School still comes first, she says, and with the help of her teachers, she balances academics with her race schedule. Even though she is crushing the competition, she is in no hurry to enter the professional circuit. The reason? She wants to stay an ama-teur through college so she can compete in collegiate sports.

“The biggest thing for me is to keep improving and keep getting stronger,” she says. “I really look up to the women on my team, and seeing these pros still excel into their 40s, it’s obvious to me I have a long career ahead of me if I play

my cards right.”

Brent BieshaarYou might spot Denverite Brent Bieshaar, 49, as he rolls

across the finish line – literally. The move, known as the Blazeman Roll, is a tribute of sorts to Jon “Blazeman” Blais. The young man had been diagnosed with Lou Gherig’s dis-ease in the mid-2000s, yet he was determined to complete the Ironman World Championships in 2005, even if he had to “roll across the finish line.” At the time, the disease had already affected him so much that he was unable to squeeze a water bottle, but he still completed the Ironman. Blais lat-er passed away from the disease in 2007, but his story so inspired Bieshaar and the high school wrestling team that he coached, that the group made Blais their inspiration and role model. Touched by Blais’ drive and further inspired by a friend who was diagnosed with the same disease, Bieshaar decided to dedicate the current XTERRA season to Blais and the Blazeman Foundation for ALS.

And by the whole season, he means the whole season. Bie-shaar aims to race all 24 national XTERRA events of the season. The summer has been a blur of cities, and many race promoter have helped him champion his cause, waiving race fees and hosting talks at awards ceremonies about his efforts. During races, Bieshaar carries a backpack and all the tools needed to run the bike section or repair his bike in the event of a mechanical – after all, his goal isn’t to place well, but finish all the races.

He doesn’t actively raise money for the foundation, which gives 100 percent of proceeds to ALS research, but support-ers can click a link on his website (www.xterraacrossamer-ica.com) or his Facebook page to donate or find out more.

“It’s ironic, because you don’t hear too much about ALS, but once you start talking to people, everyone has a personal connection with it, whether it’s a friend or family member who had it,” says Bieshaar. “So far people have been really supportive, and many have wanted to help out.”

If biking 100 miles in the mountains is a goal of yours this summer, break out a pen and check it off the list. Don’t get too ex-

cited yet, as you still have to put in the legwork. The 12th annual SOS Outreach Colorado Eagle River Ride (CERR) is quickly approaching, and it is the perfect cycling opportunity for all abili-ties and ages.

The July 25 ride is a fundraiser for SOS Outreach, which will directly benefit numerous kids in the Eagle community. The nonprofit is a youth development organization that uses recreation to get kids into year-round leadership and mentoring programs.

“For every daily activity, whether it’s skiing, rock climbing or backpacking, our kids learn about the SOS five core values. They also complete a course on urban leadership development. It’s very much about getting them involved in their community. We use these sports as the way to get them interested and stay active,” says Seth Ehrlich, vice president of operations at SOS.

The event is in fact SOS Outreach’s largest fundraiser of the year and proceeds will ben-efit the 5,000 kids in the program from across the country.

100-percent Eagle CountyFor local cyclists, the charity ride provides the opportunity to bike on a course that is en-

tirely in Eagle County. Distances of 102 miles, 68 miles and 42 miles offer cyclists a bit of everything from the lengthy century ride, to a milder ride down U.S. Hwy 6.

“It started with a lot of riders who were out to race at a fast pace. It progressively grew from there. It really is a ride that is not easy to do without the support of aid stations,” says Ehrlich, referring to the long stretches of empty back roads that make up a large part of the century course.

Throughout the years the aid stations have encouraged families and those who might be a bit unsure of their abilities to take the opportunity to sign up and accomplish personal cy-cling goals. At stations, manned by characters such as the “Ice Cream Lady” in Dotsero and the Lions Club members (who will be dressed in a jungle theme this year), participants will be provided food and water. The event is known for being one of the most well supported rides in Colorado. In addition to the aid stations, there are bike repair stations and six sup-port vehicles along the way.

With increased growth - last year the event drew 853 participants - the SOS team has their hands full.

“We are in the 800 to 1,000 riders range and it is a good number to keep it between for now,” says Ehrlich. “We have people who finish the 100-mile at 11:30 in the morning and then we have others who don’t finish until 5:30 in the afternoon. There is that group that goes out to see how fast they can ride, but the bulk of our participants are out to challenge themselves to ride a full 100-mile century course. It is all for personal challenge in the end. Nothing is timed.”

Participants can roll out between 6:30 a.m. and 8 a.m. Riders can leave whenever they wish and come back when you want while enjoying ride support throughout the day.

The course itself starts at the Beaver Creek Elk Lot and runs down U.S. Hwy 6 through

First, you can hear it in her voice. Then, as she goes on, you can tell it goes beyond passion – into data, information and a sheer wealth of knowledge.

Hannah Irwin of the Vail Nature Center, above all, is a naturalist. Her energy for nature is fueled by both person-al interest and education. These qualities are not only her own; rather, they are shared by the rest of the staff at the Vail Nature Center. Irwin has been working at the nature center for the last seven years. It started as an internship over the summers – between the long spring and fall semesters of the University of Michigan, where she studied environmental sciences.

“I had an internship out here over the summers and fell in love with the area,” Irwin says. “I knew I’d come back and become a naturalist after school.”

And what do naturalists do? A naturalist is someone who studies and interprets nature to others, a job that occupies the time of Irwin and the rest of the Nature Center staff through-out the summer. Right now, they are offering a number of programs designed specifically for kids, some for adults and others for the whole family.

The Vail Nature Center is located on the south side of Ford Park. Tucked away, it can be hard to find, but once you do, it is “totally worth it,” says Irwin.

Backing Irwin is the Nature Center’s director, Tom Gay-lord, and a handful of staff members who share Irwin’s pas-sion for the natural area surrounding the Vail area. They want the community to feel the same way, and work to educate the public through a number of programs. Check out a few of Irwin’s favorite ways to get to know the Vail outdoors. For a full slate of activities or more information, see www.vailrec.com/nature-center.

For the family Irwin doesn’t hesitate when it comes to her favorite activ-

ity: the beaver pond tours on Gore Creek.“My very favorite program (the beaver ponds tour) is

close to my heart and very popular,” Irwin says. “It is a fam-ily program and a really unique program. We get to see live beavers most of the time.”

She can spout off a list of interesting facts about the indus-trious little creatures.

“They have become my favorite animal,” Irwin says. “They are fascinating. They are like us in a way. They are one of the only animals that change their environment through construction, just like us.”

The beaver ponds tour starts at the Nature Center – right at 601 Vail Valley Drive. Each of the naturalists gives their own twist on the program, but most of it includes a natural history lesson about beavers and then a tour the ponds and the habitats the beavers flourish in. The tours start early in

the morning or later in the evening – times the beavers are most likely to be out working.

For the adultThe Vail Nature Center’s all-day backcountry hikes can be

a long day, better suited for adults. These adult-specific hikes are held on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s. They leave the Nature Center as early as 7 a.m. and can return as late as 2 p.m. or 3 p.m., depending on the trail. There is also a half-day wild-flower hike on Friday’s at 8:30 a.m.

The Nature Center’s director, Tom Gaylord, leads many of the hikes.

“There is nobody better to hike with than Tom,” Irwin says. “He has been a naturalist for more than 20 years. He is an expert in native plants and the area.”

Camera geeks should also check out the Nature Center’s photo safari. It acts as an outdoor photography lesson led by local nature photographer Dennis Jones.

“A few years ago, he was named photographer of the year in Colorado,” Irwin says. “It’s pretty cool that you can have someone like him guiding a tour.”

For the kidsIrwin’s passion for local nature in Vail sparked an intern-

ship and college education. The Nature Center seeks to instill that same excitement in kids with their kid-specific programs.

If you have the chance to talk food with Adam Roustom, executive chef and co-owner at The Blue Plate in Avon, pour a glass of wine

and enjoy yourself. Hell, grab an entire bottle – it’ll be like no conversation you’ve ever had about eating.

It’s not as though Roustom will wax philosophical about flavor profiles or gastronomy or trendy new ingredients. His approach is de-cidedly more old school and steeped in his-tory, a testament to his Middle Eastern roots. Unlike many gourmet chefs, he doesn’t fill precious few hours of free time poring over cookbooks. He’d rather read about the evo-lution of cuisine – say, why it makes sense to serve the summer-friendly Colorado lamb kafta on skewers, or how the restaurant’s weekly pig and lamb roasts trace back to an old-world style of dining people inherently appreciate, even if they don’t lmow it.

“A lot of people just associate meat with a yellow Styrofoam container, what you find at the supermarket,” Roustom says while cub-ing a fresh lamb loin. “It’s neat to see little kids come in and look at a whole animal. It’s very old-fashioned – it’s made with more love, more attention, more connection to the food and person making it.”

For the past four summers, those outdoor roasts have made The Blue Plate the place to be on Friday afternoons. Early in the morning – some seven hours before dinner service, around the time he was cubing lamb for the kafta dish on a Tuesday morning – Roustom fires up a charcoal pit, rubs the whole lamb or pig with spices, then slowly spit-roasts it

throughout the day. Within a few hours, the town center smells sumptuous, a co-mingling of earthy flavors and the charcoal spit. Once the meat is cooked through, he breaks it down and fire-finishes individual cuts to order.

“This isn’t just pulled pork,” says Elli Roustom, the chef’s wife and restaurant co-owner. “Some people say, ‘There’s fat on there or there’s something I’m not used to.’ That’s the point of old-world style – you get a piece of everything.”

Though the roasts sound more like a publicity stunt than a legitimate meal – sort of a mountain-town counterpart to the luau pig roasts at Hawaiian resorts – they’re far from chintzy, at least with Chef Roustom’s meticulous approach. Lamb is easy enough to find fresh in Colorado, but the pig is a different story. Few suppliers are licensed to carry whole, unfrozen animals, yet the chef found a Front Range farm that delivers pigs within a day or

two of being slaughtered. That extra bit of care for an unorthodox

but affordable dinner – $28 for pig, $32 for lamb, and plates come with cuts from each part of the animal – fits snugly with Rous-tom’s food philosophy: If you’re going to do something, do it right.

“I’ve never worked in construction, but the old saying ‘measure twice, cut once’ works here,” Roustom says. “That’s the whole philosophy behind our food.”

Doing it rightWhen Roustom finishes cubing the lamb,

he moves from the open prep station near the front of the restaurant to a large meat grinder at the back of the kitchen. About a year and a half ago, Roustom and his wife moved to

the space next to Vin 48, a similarly minded hot spot in the center of Avon. The transition gave the chef a chance to build from the ground up, with vaulted ceilings, a newly expanded patio and a kitchen to house all the equipment he wanted: a grinder for dishes like lamb kafta and homemade meatloaf, the exposed prep station looking out over the dining room, a

no-frills filet ($36) and rib eye ($38) shine with cuts of all-natural, grain- and corn-fed beef. Comes with one of three sauces (we like the brandy peppercorn), plus seasonal veggies and a starch.

Colorado lamb kafta – Executive chef Adam Roustom infuses Colora-do’s signature protein with Middle Eastern flair for slightly spicy ground lamb, rolled into balls with cracked wheat, preserved lemon and spices. Just don’t call them lamb meatballs. Served with rice, sautéed spinach and a tomato-ginger sauce. ($25)

Schnitzel – Don’t write it off before you try it – this dish put Blue Plate on the map. Center-cut pork loin ($20) or milk-fed veal ($27) is sliced thin, coated in breadcrumbs and sautéed in purified butter, then paired with potato salad and greens.

By day, Suzannah Harris teaches English as a second lan-guage at Colorado State University. By night, though, she assembles her team of musicians and becomes something different. She becomes Dixie Leadfoot, and her band be-comes the Chrome Struts.

Harris plays the upright flat bass, but she says her true instrument has always been her voice. Then there is her son, Nate Harris, who plays the guitar. He is also accredited to having a voice of his own in the band, while being a mu-sic historian of sorts. Keeping the rhythm on drums is Mike Brown, a country music and rockabilly enthusiast.

Together, they from a three-piece rockabilly band that rips through Elvis, Wanda Jackson and Ray Orbison covers, and also spills out their own original music. The trio is coming to Eagle to play this Thursday’s ShowDown Town in the Eagle Town Park.

SneakPEAK caught up with Harris to talk about her mu-sical alter ego, her band and what audiences can expect on Thursday evening.

SneakPEAK: What is rockabilly music?Suzannah Harris: The roots are kind of intricate, but it

basically grew out of rhythm and blues, and swing and coun-try, and rock and roll. The artists that come up with having some rockabilly style vary a lot. Elvis, Buddy Holly, Ray Orbison, Wanda Jackson, Imelda May are some. Really the genre can have any number of influences. Some of the more progressive music can even have an R&B influence. It’s the kind of stuff a lot of people like.

SP: How did you get into playing rockabilly?SH: I’ve been a musician all my life. I got into rockabilly

with my son who plays guitar in the band. One day I saw a lady playing an upright bass and thought that was pretty cool. Then I found with rockabilly that it lets you do a lot with music, and I like that.

SP: Have you ever played in Eagle before? SH: I think my husband and I played at a hotel up there a

long time ago. But this band configuration is new, and we’ve never played together up there.

ShowDown Townseries in eagle

The Eagle free concert series, dubbed “The ShowDown Town” is held every Thursday night through Aug. 15 in the Eagle Town Park. Cele-brating its 12th season,

The concert series is a product of the Vail Val-ley Foundation with the help of presenting spon-sor Moe’s Original BBQ. These concert gatherings are a down-valley way of enjoying great live mu-sic and getting out in the community.

“It is a very family-friendly and family-focused event,” says Kate Peters, marketing manager for the VVF. “There is face painting for the kids and booths for food. People are welcome to bring a cooler and their own food and drinks and set out lawn chairs. It is a relaxed, chill concert atmo-sphere.”

The ShowDown Town, Peters says, is catered to the locals that live in the valley. As with this week’s band, Dixie Leadfoot and the Chrome Struts, the Foundation tries to seek out a diverse summer musical experience that lends itself to enjoyable listening and a great show.

Concerts start at 6:30 p.m. See www.vvf.org for a full concert schedule.

While motorcycles have been a signifi-cant part of popular culture for sev-eral decades, when it comes to find-

ing, maintaining and repairing motorcycles it takes a skilled professional to handle what most people in the industry need. Originally from Albuquerque, N.M., Dan “The Wrench” Rolfe brings 20 years of experience to the pow-er sports performance industry.

Soft spoken, extremely knowledgeable and an excellent teacher, Rolfe offers onsite ser-vice, pickup and delivery across Eagle County for motorcycles, dirt bikes, ATVS, side-by-sides, vintage motorcycles and snowmobiles.

“I bring attention to detail and extreme focus to every project I work on,” Rolfe says. “My clients talk directly to the person doing the work – there is no service manager or office man-ager. When they call me they are talking to the person who will be handling their project.”

Rolfe also says that he’s worked to set himself apart through his integrity, transparency and willingness to explain to a client exactly what he’s doing in a simple and straightforward way.

A Vail Valley resident for almost a decade, Rolfe has been learning about motorcycles and how they work since age 10.

“My dad’s rule is that if you own it, you better be able to fix it, so I learned very early how to take things apart, how they work and how to put them back together,” he says. “My dad always took the time to explain everything and made sure that I understood all the details.”

The education started with basic skateboarding parts and then went on to motorcycles. Rolfe’s father took him to motorcycle rallies all over New Mexico, and his mother bought him his first Suzuki DS80 motorcycle in 1987 when Rolfe was only 10 years old.

Hobby to career When Rolfe moved to the Vail area in 2003, he quickly learned that the cost of living was

high and that having multiple jobs was necessary. But to him, it was worth it. After work-ing in retail and valeting for a while, he got recruited and hired by Marshall Ringler at The Clinic repair shop.

“I was handpicked by Marshall,” Rolfe recalls. “After purchasing a snowmobile, helmet

particular penchant for vintage rides. By Laura Lieff.

Buying a used bike?Five quick things to look for when checking out a vintage bike to pur-

chase:1. Tires – Are they in good shape? Is the rubber in good condition, or are

they dry and cracked?2. Oil – Is it leaking? Is it clean or dirty? 3. Battery – Does the battery have a charge to it? This is important be-

cause some of the older motorcycles completely depend on the battery to run.

4. Power – Does the motorcycle start? Will it run? A non-running motor-cycle can be a good or bad situation. It could help you get a good deal, or it could mean that the bike isn’t worth buying.

5. Documentation – Does the seller own it? Does it have a title? Does it have maintenance records?

Chances are, if you’ve ever taken a look at the ingredients of your face wash or moisturizer, it wouldn’t take long be-fore you run into an ingredient you can’t pronounce, much less identify.

That bothered Vail local Katlyn Dawn, so much so that she decided to make her own product, one that would be completely natural and good for the skin.

But making your own moisturizer isn’t anything like mak-ing your own energy bars or growing your own vegetables. Dawn, who is a massage therapist, yoga instructor and mu-sician, learned the ropes by studying under a biochemist in her native Hawaii last year. The biochemist, who has a line of natural health products, taught Dawn the science behind the production.

Dawn touts the resulting products, dubbed Frequency Fare, as “better than organic,” a claim that stems from the fact that it is made with 100 percent natural and organic in-

gredients – something that very few other skin-care lines can claim. Dawn says that even the products labeled “natural” or “organic” will contain synthetic materials.

“In our society, ‘organic’ is a loose term,” Dawn says. “What does it actually mean? I honestly haven’t been able to find another brand that is actually fully organic. There’s always at least one synthetic ingredient in there.”

Deciphering health productsUnfortunately, when it comes to health, deciphering in-

gredient lists, wading through the latest fads, and digging through terms like “organic” and “natural” is not easy.

“Understanding health is like understanding politics,” Dawn says. “They make it so confusing. How do you know what to believe? That’s a problem for a lot of people.”

Dawn set out to research ingredients and create a product people could trust, something she’d want to put on her own skin. Yet cost is the problem with creating a “bio-available” product, which only use ingredients found naturally. As a result, the Frequency Fare line is on the expensive end – a bottle of the night or day serum is less than 1 ounce and lasts several months, yet costs $70. Dawn likens it to applying

your purchase of a daily glass of wine toward skin care. In concocting the products, using ingredients that were

completely organic and found in natural form was not an easy task.

“Talk about expensive – using synthetic ingredients is much cheaper, which is why most companies do,” Dawn says. “It took months to find companies that have integrity in their extraction processes and will sell these in their bio-available state. I had to find companies that don’t use ex-treme heat or alcohol to get these elements out.”

And why should you care? According to Dawn, your body soaks in what’s applied to your skin. If your daily regimen includes harmful elements, the body will try to repel it. Eventually, you either soak up a good amount of toxins, or at best, your skin never improves beyond the surface.

Back

When Anne-Marie McDermott and the Calder Quartet took

the Vail Mountain School stage, there was a palpable sense of anticipation.

As the group settled into the first suite, lilting bars of Mo-zart’s Concerto No. 12 in A Major, the small audience had a chance to hear the music much like the Austrian composer meant for it to be heard – in an intimate setting, played by only strings and piano, meant to both charm the audience yet offer some musical depth. The No. 12 and two other con-certos that followed in the performance, No. 13 in C Major and No. 14 in E-flat major, were all written during a time Mozart enjoyed great popularity and success in Vienna, and arranged in a scaled-down form that allowed wind instru-ments to be omitted. In this form, it was meant to be chamber music for the home.

While the Bravo! Vail music festival affords concertgoers a chance to enjoy music per-formed by some of the nation’s most prestigious orchestras in the large setting of the Ford Amphitheater, performances such as the trio of Mozart concertos showcase how Bravo! first got its start, says pianist and Bravo! artistic director McDermott.

In Bravo!’s first seasons, when visiting orchestras and musicians played on the stage alongside the audience, there’s a joke that there were more musicians on stage than there were audience members, McDermott says. While that may be true, chamber concerts not only harken back to more intimate venues, but also how many composers wrote their pieces to be performed – in a music salon, or in a wealthy patron’s home, guests crowded around

the piano or milling about the living room.Chamber music is defined as music where there is one

player to a part, as opposed to a full orchestra, where many people might play a single part at once. There’s no set num-ber of musicians in a chamber ensemble, but usually there are up to eight players on stage, and pieces are often per-formed in smaller concert halls or rooms.

“The joy of chamber music concerts is the intimacy and the immediacy of being closer to the musicians, hearing and seeing the conversation between musicians up close,” Mc-Dermott says. “There’s something very powerful about it.”

Up close and personalThis Bravo! season gives audiences a number of opportu-

nities to hear chamber music – more, in fact, than any recent season. With the large orchestral concerts growing in popu-larity, Bravo! had moved away from the chamber format un-til McDermott took the helm three seasons ago.

“Chamber music is the heart and soul of the festival, and one of my big goals was the increase the profile of chamber music,” McDermott says. “You hear the music in a whole different way, and it’s cool to hear some of the great pieces

of music in a chamber ensemble. I have seen chamber music touch peoples so strongly that it changes lives. It’s such an intense experience sitting in a room hearing these musicians, and I just want people to get more addicted to it like I am.”

The Bravo! season has a chamber music series, with five performances held at the Vail Mountain School concert hall. The Linda and Mitch Hart Soiree Series bring chamber mu-sic or solo recitals to different spectacular homes around the area. Guests enjoy music and dinner with the musicians. The newer Silver Oak and Twomey Series brings three nights of music to Donovan Pavilion, showcasing more traditional pieces with more modern, but

Editor’s note: SneakPEAK columnist Felicia Kalaluhi is the owner of Cornerstone Chocolates and Confections and also teaches a pastry course at Colorado Mountain Col-lege in Edwards. She can be reached at fjablonski@corner-stonechocolates.com

The summer heat is at its peak, but you can keep cool with some easy-to-make frozen treats. Sorbets and granites are the perfect way to highlight fresh seasonal fruits and will certainly compliment some of your favorite desserts or can be enjoyed singularly as the main component of your dessert course.

What is the difference? Sorbet is a fruit-based frozen des-sert consisting of three main components: puréed fruit, sugar and water. Equal parts sugar and water can be combined to

make simple syrup, which is then combined with the purée and processed in an ice cream machine. The machine will churn the liquid base to produce a fluffy frozen sorbet. Churning is the process of agitating and aerating the sorbet mixture within a frozen climate. If you’re making sorbet at home, you can work in and out of the freezer while periodically agitating the base as it starts to freeze.

For the avid sorbet scientist, you can invest in an attachment for your Kitchen Aid mixer. This attachment is a special bowl that can be frozen and used in conjunction with the paddle attachment to mimic the churning that takes place in an ice cream machine. When using a machine or mixer, it’s important that you don’t over-churn your sorbet. Too much aeration will create small pockets of space that can encourage an influx of undesirable ice crystals to form within the sorbet.

The crystals create a courser feel in the mouth, rather than a smooth and creamy feel. They will also cut the shelf life of your sorbet since these ice crystals will ultimately lead to freezer burn. In the professional world of pastry, there are additives to help homogenize and stabilize the sorbet mixture during churning and reduce the risk of large ice crystals. At home, simply increasing the amount of sugar by small increments can help soften a stubborn sorbet. But be careful not to increase the sugar too much.

Sugar is hygroscopic, meaning it draws water upon itself, making it responsible for keep-ing certain dessert items moist. It also means that it can be somewhat resistant to the freezing process. If you add too much sugar to your sorbet, it won’t set up in the freezer. Likewise, you can add alcohol to your sorbet recipes to create interesting flavors, but too much will prevent the sorbet from freezing. If you plan on using alcohol for fun and unique flavors like “white wine peach,” and “blackberry port,” you’ll want to allow the alcohol to reduce first. A reduction of wine requires that the wine be simmered over heat to release steam, thus leaving an essence of flavor, but without the properties of the alcohol. Reducing any liquid will always result in a lesser quantity than the amount you initially started with.

So for example, if you plan on reducing wine by half to achieve a total amount of 1 cup of reduced wine, you’ll need to start with 2 cups of wine. The reduced wine can be combined with purée and simple syrup and then processed in a machine or hand churned. We typically strive to eliminate ice crystals in the making of sorbet, but there comes a time when you actually want a crystal-like feel. For those of you that are looking to top off your dessert with a scoop of shaved ice or are looking to build your own flavor-filled snow cone, you’ll want to look to granite, an Italian ice dessert. Granite or granita has less sugar to help encourage the formation of ice crystals while undergoing the freezing process. Sometimes granite may be processed in a machine to create a more smoothie like consistency, but it’s typically made by hand.

The base for granite includes the same ingredients as sorbet, just in different ratios. In fact, granite can make great use of fruit juices and fruit byproducts of lesser substance than purée. (such as passion fruit juice, pomegranate juice, grapefruit juice, etc.) When making granite, the liquid ingredients are combined and poured into a shallow pan that is placed in the freezer. The mixture is agitated with a fork to generate ice crystals every 15 to 20 min-utes while the mixture freezes. Eventually, you are left with a shallow pan of flavorful ice crystals that you can scoop into a cup or assemble on top of your favorite dessert!

complimentary music. On a budget, or didn’t grab tickets in time? Check out the

festival’s free concert series, which feature chamber music performed around town at locations such as the Vail Public Library and the Vail Interfaith Chapel throughout the sum-mer.

While it might be hard to rival the grandiose sounds of an orchestral concert at Ford Amphitheater, the fun of cham-ber performances are getting to hear and see the dynamics between players in a smaller setting. While an orchestra operates as one organism, chamber performances allow the audience to hear and appreciate each player, and even see as they egg each other on. Part of the fun of creating chamber performances is choosing musicians who will play off each other and deliver a unique rendition of the piece.

Most visiting musicians jump to be part of a chamber en-semble, says McDermott.

Music for the massesBut these performances aren’t just fun for the musicians,

and McDermott and Bravo! Executive Director Jim Palermo says the community has met these smaller concerts with en-thusiasm.

The Donovan Pavilion series sold out last year, and the soiree series held in private homes has been popular as well. What especially pleases the organizers are the turnouts thus far for the 14 free chamber concerts, performed by various members of the visiting orchestras.

Palermo says that part of the idea was to mimic the feel of music festivals in some European cities, where in addition to large performances, there is music going on all day long around the city.

“We’ve had completely packed houses,” says Palermo. “Not everyone can pay the cost of a concert at the Ford Amphitheater, but with a menu of chamber music options in town, people are really interested in that. We’re delighted

to see the audiences. There’s definitely a thirst for chamber music.”

The various chamber performances also serve to introduce audiences to some less known works in addition to the fa-mous favorites. Last Wednesday’s chamber performance and two free concerts held on Thursday will bring male choral group Cantus featuring works by Dvorak, the composer in focus for this season’s lineup, alongside early 20th century composers Janacek and Bartok. They are works not often heard in concert settings, but as Palermo points out, every famous piece had to get its start somewhere.

“I think the real message is that these are all fantastic works that deserve to be heard, there is a lot of surprise and delight over quality of these pieces so far. It’s just a beau-tiful mix of well-established master pieces with the lesser known,” he says.

Edwards into Wolcott. After a few hill climbs, the course continues up U.S. Hwy.131 to the dirt-packed Colorado River Road into Dotsero. After the descent into Dotsero, participants will continue their way back along the Eagle River on U.S. Hwy. 6 to Beaver Creek. After resting tired legs, participants can head to the Dusty Boot for the post party.

Ready to rideWhile we would all like to be able to easily bike 100 miles, a bit of realism is sometimes

required, which is why the format of the race is so appealing. “If you sign up for the 100 and you aren’t feeling like you can make it, we have buses

taking people back at the 68 mark. On the other hand, if you feel spectacular and you never thought you would ride a century, you can keep going,” says Ehrlich.

This format, coupled with the fact that all the profits go directly to SOS, has helped the event gain a good deal of traction through the years.

Others have taken note of the event including celebrities and professional riders. The ride has the likes of Tour de France competitors, Boston Marathon champions and of course, dozens of local pro cyclists. This year NBA Hall of famer Bill Walton will be participat-ing in the ride. At 6-foot 11-inches tall, Walton must require a bike that is something of an engineering masterpiece.

Walton will be teaming up with event sponsor Vail Summit Orthopaedics to give a talk

on the prevention of back and spine injury at the Shaw Regional Cancer Center in Edwards on Friday, July 26 at 5 p.m. The talk is free but if you can’t make it catch Walton at the Vail Summit Orthopaedics start-and-finish tent or the post party at the Dusty Boot in Beaver Creek. He will be the jovial guy towering over everyone.

There are dozens of places to watch all the athletes, including Walton, but Ehrlich sug-gests Wolcott as a good vantage point.

“One of the best spots is on the climb just eight miles outside of Wolcott. We have an aid station right at the top of the hill and that is a really good spot to cheer people on, especially if this is their first century ride.” Says Ehrlich.

He’s right - at that point most of the participants in the century ride will start to think, “Hmm, am I really doing the full 100 mile?” and will surely appreciate the support.

For more information on the ride and to sign up to race or volunteer go to www.vailvelo.com or www.sosoutreach.org.

SP: What can an audience expect from the rockabilly performance of Dixie Leadfoot and the Chrome Struts?

SH: We can play and we know our songs. Our goal is to entertain people, and that is what we do. I choose songs that will be most entertaining to the crowd. People love our covers. But we also do some original music that people really like. You’ll hear covers of Jonny Cash – he is always a big one. Also, the Stray Cats, Imelda May, Elvis and others.

SP: You’re the one up front, but it sounds like you have good musicianship all around you. Tell us more about the band.

SH: I’m up front on the bass, which has a really unique sound - all the slapping and click-ing. Nate (Harris) is on guitar. Nate is a really well rounded guitar player. He came from punk and even some blues. Growing up he listened to every kind of music, including Music Theater. He has a really rich background with what he’s listened to and what he can do with a guitar. He knows guitar styles and can slip his own take into what we do. Mike (Brown) on drums has a good background in rock and country. He can do whatever to make it all sound right. It’s a talented group. Together we make a nice triangle.

(For the concert in Eagle, the band will use a substitute drummer, Joe Clark.)

SP: It seems like a pretty wide range of music you take on. Do you try to hold on to any strand in particular?

SH: I want to reach an unlimited audience. Most people have heard a lot - if not all - of these songs at some point in their life. We bring in such a mix, and people really like it. The only difference is that we prefer to stay upbeat. We have maybe one ballad per set. But the nice thing is that a three-piece band can pull off a bunch of these different songs. We feed off the audience. There is nothing better than playing to an audience and when everyone is getting into it together. When the audience is out there having fun, you know we are up on the stage having fun.

Featured Wedding of the Week

Lubinski-Gutierrez WeddingBride: Meghann Gutierrez of EagleVail, Colo.

Groom:Nathan Lubinski of Littleton, Colo.Married: Feb. 3, 2013Location: Eagle, Colo.

How they metThe two first crossed paths at Vail Valley Calvary Chapel. Nathan was the new drummer for the worship crew, and Meghann sat right next to him while listening

to the band practice. Between practice and service, the two ended up chatting up a storm.

How he proposedNathan proposed right before New Year. Both of them worked Christmas, so they had a late holiday celebration with Nathan’s family. Near the end of opening

presents, Meghann was handed one last, large box. She opened it to find another box, and another and another, until only a ring box remained. She looked up to see Nathan on one knee and with a smug look on his face, gesturing over his shoulder.

“On the TV screen, I read, ‘Will you marry me?’” says Meghann. “He had spent a month or so working on this video game called MineCraft, where you make your own world, basically Legos on a video game. He made the words out of aspen trees and lights, and a heart around it made out of roses. The character had a

tux on and held a rose. It was very romantic.”

Why they got married in the Vail Valley Vail is Meghann’s hometown, and it is where the two fell in love, so it only made sense.

Favorite memory from the wedding dayThe two had a “steampunk” themed wedding (think Wild West meets Victorian era meets the future) with a hand-made dress, perfect for the “theater-geek”

groom and dancer/artist bride.Meghann says her favorite memory from the wedding day was when Nathan presented her with a gift – a wooden sword -- he had made at the age of 15 for his

future bride.“It was significant in part because I fenced in high school and have a fascination with swords,” says Meghann. “It was surprisingly perfect, considering he had no

way of knowing who his future wife would be. The sword hangs on our wall in our living room now.”

River Reportbrought to you by

The Eagle Colorado River Gore Creek Roaring Fork

Fishing is prime in the mornings and evenings. The warm and sun-ny days have put the fish down

during mid day, but the afternoon rains we have been seeing have really been picking things up in the evenings. Recommended

Flies: Tungsten Ant, Stripping Quill and Twenty Bombs.

Denver is finally sending some water our way and the fishing is still improving. Keep an eye on water temps in the afternoons.

Recommended Flies: Large Stones, Kyles Yellow Sally, and

Tungsten Ants.

Fishing is still technical but can be very rewarding. It’s getting to be that smaller is better time of

year. Recommended Flies: Purple Juju’s, Natual WD-40’s and the

soft hackle thorax.

Dries have been hit and miss, but the nymphing has been really good. You will see pretty much

everything coming off throughout the day, but the smaller flies have

been producing best. Recom-mended Flies: Copper Bob’s,

Merc Rs 2’s, and BLM’s.

Food for the skinDawn ended with a small line of skin products, which in-

cluded a day serum, a night serum and facial cleanser. She claims the products, packed with amino acids, antioxidants, vitamins and oils, are “food for the skin.” There aren’t dif-ferent lines for dry skin, oily skin or break-out prone skin – instead, the idea is that the ingredients provide the nutrients needed for skin cells to repair themselves and resist damage, regardless of your climate or skin type.

The product’s name comes from the theory that a certain frequency (528 hertz), also known as the Solfeggio frequen-cy, has the ability to repair DNA. She stresses that people who use Frequency Fare should use it as their only skin care regimen, as the products open up pores and can magnify the effects of other creams or serums.

Dawn says that the products create glowing, healthier looking skin in as soon as three to six days.

“The reactions I was getting were amazing,” Dawn says. “People said it cleared up acne breakouts and discoloration. People told me they looked years younger. People who had really damaged skin came back and said, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m seeing a difference already.’”

Edwards resident Jill Hughes began using the products and said her family was shocked by the results when she went home to visit a few weeks later. Hughes says that while she has always had relatively healthy skin, age was causing fine lines and wrinkles, even though she always tried to use the most natural products available.

“My mom thought I had some sort of cosmetic proce-dure,” Hughes says, laughing. “I had been using it for a cou-ple weeks and everyone from my family was amazed. They thought I’d gotten Botox.”

Because the Frequency Fare products tend to soak into the skin, Dawn created a spray called Renew for people to freshen up throughout the day. Hughes says she spritzes it on

her hands and then rubs it on her face. As an artist, she says her fingers and cuticles are often damaged, but she notices that the Renew even helps heal her hands.

Frequency Fare began with the goal of empowering wom-en, but now Dawn hopes to market her products to men and teens as well. Dawn is also currently working on a lip balm and sunscreen.

“The original concept was that youth fades, and I wanted to help women feel as good as they possibly could about themselves from the outside-in, and also help them health-wise,” Dawn says. “Now I’ve had men using it, too, with great results. An ideal market for me would be teenagers. When you’re a teenager, you eat crap. You don’t know who you are. It’s hard enough as it is without worrying about your skin.”

and registration from him he invited me to come in and use his equipment and tools, and before I knew it he hired me as part of his staff.”

While Rolfe enjoyed his four years working with Ringler, he now has his own repair business. He recognizes the up-and-coming trends in power sports – specifically vintage motorcycles as a summer sport/activity – and has found that people need his help for more than just repairs.

“The Vail Valley is seeing more and more vintage bikes around,” Rolfe explains. “I think it’s becoming a trend because people like the idea of taking something that’s old and tired and making it cooler, newer and better.”

While vintage motorcycles come in all different styles and colors, Rolfe says that their popularity is largely due to their accessibility, as they can function as a substitute for a car, or as a fun, stylish alternative for weekend rides.

“Vintage motorcycles are something people can use for all kinds of reasons because they have on and off-road capabilities,” he says. “They can be used for transportation or recre-ation or both.”

Teaching and helping others In addition to possessing the knowledge to repair anything with a motor that’s not a car,

Rolfe is also a “motorcycle concierge” – he helps clients find the power sport vehicle they desire. He will research, make sure the item is worth the money and help his clients find exactly what they want.

“I enjoy sharing my knowledge, putting in the time and finding these things for people to ensure they get what they want,” Rolfe says.

In addition to helping clients find what they’re looking for, Rolfe also teaches his craft to classes and individuals. He is happy to teach those who want to learn how to do motor work, how to repair their bikes or just gain more knowledge about power sports in general.

“I’m so passionate about things that run, and I have a deep understanding of the whole system,” Rolfe says. “It’s more than just knowing about the pieces and replacing them – it’s knowing why the piece broke and how it affects the system as a whole.”

voice to round out the group, and Burr said he knew just the girl. He introduced Loggins to Middleman, and the two sat down the day they met and wrote a song together on the spot.

“(Burr and I) were doing a show together that night, and I sent (Loggins) some stuff, and he liked it. So we sat down and wrote a song together, and from then on, we kind of knew we were going to be a band,” says Middleman.

That was two years ago, and now Blue Sky Riders is on the road on a three-month tour that spans coast to coast, including performances at the Sundance Festival and eight shows at SXSW in Austin, Texas, where they were ranked Number Three on Examiner’s “Top Five Bands Not to Miss.”

What you can’t planThe new band not only allows three veteran artists to create a new musical spark, but al-

lows Middleman and Burr to perform their own songs, as opposed to penning them for other people to perform.

“As a songwriter here in Nashville, you’re always writing for other people,” says Burr. “Unlike most people I came to town being an artist and settled in to being a songwriter. I am

now able to partially achieve something I came here to do at the beginning.”The new album includes some irresistibly catchy tunes, such as the country-rock anthem

and title track “I’m a Rider (Finally Home),” the poetic love ballad “A Thousand Wild Horses,” and the band’s unanimous favorite track about moving forward when life gets a little uncertain, “Just Say Yes.”

Loggins says he’s excited about the project, and that any hiccups the band has faced in its time together have been resolved – it is as if this was the time for the Blue Sky Riders to take the stage.

“As with most things in my career, it wasn’t really planned – it just fell into place,” says Loggins. “Such as recording ‘Danger Zone’ or meeting Jimmy Messina. I had planned my solo career, but not on meeting Stevie Nicks, which got me an opening act for Fleetwood Mac just as ‘Rumors’ took off. There are a lot of things you just can’t plan.”

Bravo! welcomes the New York Philhar-monic

The New York Philharmonic begins its weeklong residen-cy at Bravo! Vail on Friday, July 19, bringing the legendary musicianship of one of the world’s most renowned orches-tras to the Vail Valley. New York Philharmonic Music Direc-tor Alan Gilbert opens the week with an evening of Dvořák and Tchaikovsky at Vail’s Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater. The concert begins at 6 p.m. with Dvořák’s Cello Concerto, with New York Philharmonic Principal Cello Carter Brey as solo-ist. Also on this program is Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5 – a smash hit with audiences ever since the 1888 premiere.

“We are always so happy to return to our home away from home in Vail, and this year we are bringing programs that feature our great principal players,” says Philharmonic Vice President of Artistic Planning Ed Yim. “With Carter Brey on the Dvořák Cello Concerto (which he just played for tens of thousands of New Yorkers during our Concerts in the Parks season), Joe Alessi on the delightful ‘Lincoln Tunnel Caba-ret’ composed by conductor Bramwell Tovey and Glenn Dicterow on the sublime concertmaster solos in Rimsky-Korsakov’s ‘Scheherazad.’ we are so proud to present our own members as soloists this year.”

For the first time in Vail, the orchestra also brings a bit of the Great White Way, too. Ted Sperling leads two stars of Broadway in an program that traces a romance from meeting to relationship to marriage through Broadway hits.

“So all in all, it will be a very New York summer in Vail,” says Yim. During its Bravo! Vail residency, the New York Philharmonic will perform a series of six concerts. Featured masterworks include Berlioz’s “Symphonie fantastique” on Saturday, June 20, led by conductor Rafael Frühbeck de Bur-gos. Making this evening of music under the stars even more

“fantastique” is the return of violinist Augustin Hadelich, who made his triumphal Bravo! Vail debut with the New York Philharmonic in 2010, in performance of Lalo’s fiery “Symphonie espagnole.”

On Sunday, July 21, Gilbert returns to the podium with “Scheherazade,” Rimsky-Korsakov’s musical retelling of 1,001 Arabian Nights, featuring New York Philharmonic concertmaster Glenn Dicterow. Also on Sunday, pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet returns in Liszt’s “Totentanz.” Hailed as “one of the best pianists in the world,” Thibaudet is a favorite among Bravo! Vail audiences. “We are thrilled to be welcoming the New York Philharmonic to Bravo! Vail,” says James Palermo, Bravo! executive director. “The variety of their programs this year is just spectacular. From Tchai-kovsky to Broadway, Vail Valley audiences will hear one of the world’s most famous orchestras in one of the most acoustically perfect, intimate outdoor spaces anywhere. Hearing the New York Philharmonic in Vail is like welcom-ing family members back home. It’s a musical celebration with close friends.”

The New York Philharmonic’s Bravo! Vail residency continues on Wednesday, July 24 with its first-ever Broad-way night featuring some of the most romantic songs ever written for The Great White Way. Tony and Drama Desk Award-winner Ted Sperling conducts this evening featuring selections from “Promises, Promises,” “West Side Story,” “Annie Get Your Gun,” “Carousel,” “Guys and Dolls” and much more. Joining Sperling and the New York Philharmon-ic are Broadway stars Betsy Wolfe (“The Mystery of Ed-win Drood,” “Everyday Rapture”) and Andrew Samonsky (“South Pacific,” “Scandalous”).

Tickets for all Bravo! Vail concerts are on sale at www.bravovail.org or by calling the box office at 877-812-5700. Tickets for concerts featuring the New York Philharmonic may also be purchased in-person at the Gerald R. Ford Am-phitheater. Tickets range from $32 to $165. Lawn tickets for children 12 and under are $5.

Ann Hampton Callaway returns to VailArguably one of the most accomplished artists to step foot

in Vail this summer, Ann Hampton Callaway calls herself an “American Diva,” but the rest of the world recognizes her as one of the Great American Songbook’s most striking luminaries.

“The word ‘diva’ has always been funny to me. I mean it tongue-in-cheek when I call myself that,” Callaway says. “It allows me to have a larger-than-life persona so I have more possibilities of reaching my audiences. I can have fun with them and sort of be a character.”

Hypnotizing audiences with her rich vocal delivery of the classics, Callaway also happens to be a Tony Award-win-ning Broadway star, pianist, producer and songwriter, hav-ing composed hundreds of songs for everyone from Barbara Streisand to the hit TV series “The Nanny.”

In the Vail area, Callaway most recently leaps to memory for her stage-rattling tribute to Ella Fitzgerald at the Vilar Performing Arts Center in winter 2012.

This Thursday she is back in town, performing The Great American Songbook from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. for Jazz @ Vail Square.

While Callaway’s grasp of the Songbook’s intricacies is well-established and her delivery passionate and deeply fa-miliar, her live performance has often been recognized for its spontaneity. The New York City-based performer is famous for improvising songs on the spot, based on audience reac-tions and comments.

In the midst of its strongest season to date, the Vail Jazz Festival brings a variety of internationally acclaimed musi-cians to the jazz tent every Thursday for the Jazz @ Vail Square series as well as free live jazz at the Vail Farmers Market and Art Show and Kelly Liken Restaurant every Sunday. The summer-long festival culminates with the La-bor Day Vail Jazz Party, a five-day celebration of live jazz music from Aug. 29 to Sept 2. For more information, visit www.vailjazz.org.

Tickets to hear Callaway are $20 in advance or $25 day of show for preferred seating and general admission is free on a first-come basis.

BecTri event goes duathlonIf you’ve ever thought about participating in a multi-sport

event but were afraid to take the plunge, the sixth annual BecTri Duathlon Run-Bike-Run is for you. The waters of Nottingham Lake were taken out of the equation and for this year only, the BecTri will be a duathlon. Registration is available at www.bectri.com for this Aug. 3 event.

Participate as an individual or bring some friends and form a team. The race begins with a run or jog out of the park and

along the Eagle River. Runners or their team members then mount bikes for a ride through the Singletree neighborhood. Lastly, there is a short run or walk to the finish in Notting-ham Park. Friends and family are welcome to join in for a day of fun in the park and to cheer on participants. There will be music and a silent auction to follow.

This race is held in memory of Rebecca Lynn Yarberry, a local triathlete and community member who passed away in a car accident in 2007. This event honors Yarberry’s spirit by fostering a race environment that is encouraging to every-one, regardless of skill level. Friends of Yarberry say she had a generous heart, a loving spirit, and was passionate about charitable causes. Two nonprofit organizations, Vail Valley Charitable Fund and CURE International, are the beneficia-ries of race proceeds.

Celebrating its 25th anniversary, the Vail International Dance Festival is a celebration of dance, renowned for its artistic excellence and unparalleled programming. Perfor-mances will take place July 28 through Aug. 10 at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater in Vail and the Vilar Performing Arts Center in Beaver Creek, while community events will be held in the streets and villages throughout Eagle County.

“Art and Nature” is a program for kids that happens on Fridays and is for kids five and older. Each week, the program offers a different topic. The goal is to use nature as an inspi-ration for the kids.

For the kids eight and older, also on Fridays, is an innovative program enticingly titled, “Learn to Think Like a Trout.” Here kids learn how to fly fish, but the naturalists take it beyond simply learning a sport.

“It isn’t just about catching fish,” Irwin says. “The kids learn about stream ecology as well. They learn about the life cycle of the trout. Really, it all relates to the sport and is all really cool information.”

Ask any kid - no day in nature would be complete for a kid without a s’more from around the campfire once the sun has fallen. Irwin says the naturalists at the Nature Center know this, and that is why they offer the “Stories in the Sky” program. The time varies as the sea-

son moves along and the darkness comes earlier. During the experience, the naturalists tell stories around the campfire about the Vail area

and help kids identify different constellations. It’s a stargazing and mythological tale kind of time. Irwin describes it as a “genuine, fun American family experience.”

No matter your age, it is never too late or too early to discover a passion for nature as deeps as Irwin’s or any of the other naturalists at the nature center.

“I absolutely love coming to work everyday,” Irwin says. “This is such a beautiful place, and there is always so much learn about what surrounds us.”

dedicated range and line just for Blue Plate’s signature dish, veal schnitzel.

“Having my own place has always been the dream,” Rous-tom says as he loads chunks of lamb into the grinder. “It’s never the same in this business, but the vision is still intact. It’s a combination of passion and strength – when you put in 100 hours a week, passion alone won’t help you survive. You need strength to make sure your food is as delicious and inventive every day.”

In Roustom’s case, surviving – and even thriving – means embracing dishes others may balk at. Take the veal or pork schnitzel: It’s an upscale version of the Austrian staple, a kind of comfort food Elli Roustom enjoyed before coming to Colorado and meeting her husband. When the two opened The Blue Plate nearly six years ago (then known as Blue Plate Bistro), schnitzel wasn’t high on the chef’s must-have list.

“If you have told me six years ago I’m on the map be-cause of schnitzel, I’d probably slap you,” Roustom laughs. “I never thought it’d become the thing it is, but we do it the right way and that makes the difference. We do it from the heart, the way it’s supposed to be done.”

History on a plateThe schnitzel is easily the restaurant’s top-selling dish,

along with another European staple, fondue. Roustom likes giving diners what they enjoy, but he also enjoys subtly playing with the menu. Born in Damascus, Syria, he often finds ways to bring Middle Eastern flair to seasonal dishes. The ground lamb forms the base of his Colorado lamb kafta, a slightly spicy combination of lamb, preserved lemons and cracked wheat, all rolled into balls and served on wooden skewers with rice and sautéed spinach. The recipe is hand-written in illegible chef scrawl – he hasn’t yet had time to type it out – and the list of ingredients is straight from a Syrian street bazaar: bulgur wheat, ground cumin, Moroc-can henrissa.

For diners familiar with Colorado lamb in its many varia-tions, the dish is refreshing. It’s bright and spicy thanks to cilantro and cumin, and the depth of flavor is endless. As for the skewer, it traces back to Roustom’s obsession with the history of cuisine: He explains how Middle Eastern cooking was often done on sticks – they had volumes upon volumes of books, but Europeans were the first to adopt metal pans and utensils.

“Cuisine comes from what people were able to work with, while sustenance is just getting by,” Roustom says while fin-ishing the lamb kafta mix. “Cuisine comes from excess, and the progression of history – going from eating crap in the Dark Ages to Arabs making due with less water – has led to the cuisine we have now.”

For Roustom, cuisine at The Blue Plate is unabashedly American. Sure, the menu has meatloaf and steak – the latter of which is superb, using natural, humanely raised cuts from the same Front Range supplier as the whole pig – but as a restaurant owned by a Syrian and an Austrian, it revels in the influences of an immigrant country.

“When it comes to food, you always have to look at his-tory,” Roustom says. “Knowing the origins of this and the origins of that can tell you how it became part of American society. That comes back to cuisine in America, and the pro-gression of history has led to the cuisine we have now.”

Editor’s Note: Minturn-based sports fan Patrick Whitehurst writes for www.fanrag.com. Read his mus-ings on the site or in Sneak-PEAK.

Not long from today, NFL action will consume mul-tiple hours of every day for millions of Americans. It’s time to grab the beers and get prepped. Let’s look at the top storylines from ev-ery division in the American

Football Conference (AFC).

AFC EastRelax, the New England Patriots will be just fine. Tom

Brady has done much more with much less in the past and an underrated running game will grind out first downs and victories late. When the new year strikes, the Patriots should be in prime position for another top seed or bye in the AFC.

The Miami Dolphins are banking on second year starter Ryan Tannehill to lead this team back to prominence. The only questions revolve around an unproven running game, changes along the offensive line, and whether or not the de-fense can elevate their play.

Expect the Buffalo Bills to play many high-scoring thrill-ers this season. Just don’t expect them to register too many wins. CJ Spiller should continue to impress, but growing pains for a young defense and a rookie QB will be evident from day one.

With lowered expectations, the circus surrounding the New York Jets might not be as dramatic as in years past, but this team will be in the headlines for all the wrong reasons all season long. Any way that Mark Sanchez and Rex Ryan can lose games and their jobs can-and-will happen.

AFC NorthThink the Pittsburgh Steelers are destined for a drop off?

Not me. Mike Tomlin and Big Ben will propel this team into contention; the players will still hit opponents in the mouth, the offense will be effective (and boring), and the wins will pile up.

The Baltimore Ravens are now Joe Flacco’s team, but

he will need help from Ray Rice and a defense without a proven leader to make another Super push. The good news for Ravens fans is that John Harbaugh still has the headset, and he knows how to prepare this squad to win.

The Cincinnati Bengals have weapons in place. As good as AJ Green and Andy Dalton have been in their two years together in the Queen City, they need another viable, reli-able option to step up consistently.

Will the Cleveland Browns ever be done rebuilding? I forget which stage of yet another five-year plan this team is currently in, but the wicked cycle of drafting QBs early and firing head coaches will continue -- there’s no stopping it now!

AFC SouthWhile the league’s best running game and a nasty de-

fense should easily translate into double-digit victories for the Houston Texans, this is a team whose Super window is closing quickly. The Texans have proven they can beat the Bengals in the playoffs, but that’s it.

Andrew Luck didn’t make Indianapolis Colts fans forget about Peyton Manning, but he exceeded expectations. In order for this team to be a playoff fixture every season, the defense must play better, and the running game has to take some pressure off the budding superstar under center.

The Tennessee Titans seem to be spinning their wheels. Jake Locker hasn’t proven exactly effective or durable, Chris Johnson talks a big game, but his production and ef-fort has suffered ever since signing a massive contract, and this team lacks a true identity.

Outside of Maurice Jones-Drew, the Jacksonville Jag-uars lack any sort of star power. Keep a close eye on how the lightning-quick Denard Robinson is utilized in the pre-

season; the Jags may be able to squeak out a couple of wins.

AFC WestFans in the Rocky Mountains don’t want to hear about

Peyton Manning’s 9-11 career playoff record (Manning is tied with Brett Favre for most playoff losses all-time) or that the Denver Broncos enter the 2013 season as the prohibitive favorites of winning the Lombardi Trophy. What fans of the Orange and Blue want to discuss is a high-powered offense that will be complemented by a fast defense playing with the lead and rushing the passer relentlessly. It’s Super Bowl or bust in the Mile High City.

If Philip Rivers regains his form, if Ryan Mathews can stay healthy, and if Dwight Freeney can re-emerge as a dominant pass rusher, the San Diego Chargers could con-tend for a wild-card berth. If not, rookie head coach Mike McCoy may wish he were still calling plays for Peyton and company.

On paper, the Kansas City Chiefs weren’t the worst team in football last season. Andy Reid will change the culture in KC and by season’s end this team will be very competitive. Draft Jamaal Charles early in fantasy leagues.

Will the Oakland Raiders be a lock for the first overall pick in 2014, or is there reason for hope? Charles Woodson is back in silver and black, and Darren McFadden enters training camp healthy. Do you see their renewed commit-ment to excellence?

As training camps get rolling, the plot will only thicken.Stay tuned for an exciting season and more commentary

Hip PainIf you ever had hip pain you know how agoniz-ing it can be. Several

years ago I developed hip pain without sustaining any signifi cant trauma or injury. I received various treatments without seeing any improvement. I was told I had bursitis and having sur-gery done could correct the problem. In searching for a conservative solution. I met a sports injury specialist who was developing a dynamic new treatment for soft tissue (muscles, tendons, etc) injuries. This treatment is called Active Release Treatment (ART). He examined my hip and found a muscle that had gotten so tight it created a “false hip arthritis”. After three treatments, my hip pain was gone and I have been running pain free ever since.

Generally, we see this very common type of muscle imbalance in runners and skiers. Over the last eleven years I have devel-oped expertise in using ART as a treatment. If you are having hip pain, make an appoint-ment to come and see us.

By the end of your ap-pointment, you will know

what is causing your pain and also see some signifi cant

relief. One exam and treatment will tell us whether this progressive

treatment of sports injuries will be a solution to your problem.
