The “kings of the unstoppable all-night show” Karl Den-son’s Tiny Universe takes to the stage next Tuesday night for the third performance in this year’s Bud Light Hot Summer Nights free concert series. The concert is sponsored by Ven-ture Sports and will be at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater in Vail.

Denson, who first came to prominence as a member of Lenny Kravitz’ band has collaborated with many other lu-minaries during his 15-year storied career, including Fred Wesley and The Greyboy Allstars. Now with his band the Tiny Universe, Denson covers vocals, tenor and alto sax and flute, and is joined by guitarist DJ Williams, bassist Chris Stillwell, keyboard player David Veith, trumpet player Chris Littlefield and drummer John Staten. Together, Karl Denson and his Tiny Universe have earned a reputation for creating a dynamic sound that defies categorization. Both jazz cat and funk daddy, Denson’s style is also infused with R&B and hip-hop elements.

Denson’s latest release, “Brother’s Keeper,” continues his artistic evolution, fusing sounds from rock to funk to afro-beat. Meshell Ndegeocello (bass) and Marc Ford (guitar, of the Black Crowes and Ben Harper) are just some of the spe-cial guests on the album.

“I’m not one to live in the past,” says Denson. “I am very

much a forward thinker. ‘Brother’s Keeper’ is a continuation of my general worldview, which is that we should be loving each other, having fun and taking care of one another. This

record is the culmination of all my life’s work up until now.”This year, the Bud Light Hot Summer Nights concert se-

ries is celebrating its 25th anniversary of bringing free music to Vail and kicked off the season June 12. The concerts will continue through Aug. 21, with all shows free to the public and doors opening at 5:30 p.m.

To launch its 25th anniver-sary year, perhaps it’s fit-ting that the opening per-formance of the Bravo! Vail

Valley Music Festival season will be a celebration of the past and present.

The June 25 performance at the Ford Amphitheater in Vail will feature the festival’s current artistic director, pianist Anne-Marie McDermott, and her two predecessors, flutist Eugenia Zukerman and Bravo! cofounder and violinist Ida Kavafian, on stage for a free night of music.

The opening recital will include music from Bach’s Par-tita No. 2 in C minor, and Franck’s Sonata for Violin and Piano on A major, among others. The performance is merely a teaser for the world-class music that is coming to the Vail Valley over the next six weeks, including performances from the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, the Philadelphia Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic, as well as a myriad of guest performers.

For McDermott, Zukerman and Kavafian, the recital will be a reunion of sorts, and the audience can expect some live-ly dialogue along with the music.

“What’s interesting about all three is that they’re not only accomplished soloists, but each is also completely devoted to chamber music, such as for small ensembles and string quartets,” says Jacqueline Taylor, the festival’s artistic ad-ministrator. “They’ve put together a program that is full of music and fun. We’ll have three bright, bubbly, wonderful human beings on stage, so that’s really the spirit of the open-ing.”

June 25 is one of McDermott’s numerous festival appear-ances, which include a performance of Tchaikovsky’s Sec-ond Piano Concerto during an all-Tchaikovsky program with the New York Philharmonic, guest conducted by Grammy Award-winner Bramwell Tovey on July 21, and a perfor-mance with three other world-class pianists for the “4 x 4: A Two-Piano Extravaganza Redux,” which closes out the Bravo! season on Aug. 4.

Still to comeFestival organizers have a number of special events

planned for the “silver anniversary” season, including a per-formance of Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 25 for the Dallas Symphony Orchestra’s opening night on Wednesday, June 27.

The celebration of a historical season also includes many firsts for the festival. Upcoming artistic debuts include con-ductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin, just prior to his inaugural sea-son as music director of The Philadelphia Orchestra.

“He’s the new hot thing right now,” Taylor says. “This will be an introduction to Vail audiences of him, and we’re pretty thrilled about that.”

Other performers new to the Vail stage include acclaimed violinist Jennifer Koh and cellist Alisa Weilerstein, playing with McDermott in a June 28 performance and again on June 29 with the Dallas Symphony.

Bravo! also debuts a new program, the “Silver Nights” se-ries held at Donovan Pavilion. The events feature one-hour sets of chamber music written over the past 500 years, jux-taposing music from composers like Schubert and Debussy with experimentalists like Charles Ives and modern compos-ers such as Thomas Adès and Osvaldo Golijov.

The concerts are sponsored by Silver Oak Winery, which will serve beverages at each of the performances. The theme of the nights will be exploring how “old” music is alive in the present, and how different musicians relate the classics with the new. Between hour-long sets, audience members can enjoy a glass of wine as they chat with players and com-posers, hearing from the artists themselves about the music.

“It’s such an opportunity to have an intimate setting with music from across five different centuries,” Taylor says.

Musicians at the festival will also be recognizing another anniversary: In honor of George Gershwin, who died 75 years ago this July and penned much of America’s most rec-ognizable music, a July 30 performance features the concert version of Gershwin’s folk opera, “Porgy and Bess,” with

the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. Also, a July 22 show in-cludes Gershwin favorites performed by renowned Canadi-an coloratura soprano Tracy Dahl, backed by the New York Philharmonic.

Off the beaten pathWhile featuring the best performers and orchestras play-

ing the classics has given the Bravo! festival its prestigious reputation, organizers will also be infusing the summer with a breath of fresh air by bringing in some “off-the-beaten-path” performances, Taylor says.

On July 2, jazz vocalist Curtis Stigers will perform at Ford Amphitheater backed by the Dallas Symphony.

“He has a very direct, honest, passionate style,” Taylor says. “The audience will be able to really sit back and just be blown away by this great singer and trio backed by the symphony. We’ve never done anything quite like it.”

Don’t forget “Cirque de la Symphonie” on July 8, a mar-riage of a concert and circus acrobatics. As the Philadelphia Orchestra plays, acrobats, jugglers and aerialists will soar above the crowd in synch with the music.

For McDermott, who begins her second season as artistic director, forays into the new and different are part of the in-novation she hopes will continue at the Bravo! music festi-val in the years to come.

“She hopes that the best musicians today will look at the festival and know that if they have a particular musical dream, that we can help make that open,” Taylor says. “We hope the festival will be alive with great music, old and new. We’ll be commissioning more music in the future, and we won’t be afraid of things that are new.”

The Swift Eagle Charitable Foundation’s bocce ball tour-nament will be an all-out affair, with players throwing, roll-ing or tossing larger and more colorful balls as close to a smaller white ball as possible with a precise aim -- to raise-money for local charity. The fourth annual fundraiser takes place this Sunday, June 24.

The tournament will take place on the old Battle Mountain High School athletics fields in EagleVail, and play is slated to take off at noon. Teams of four will go head-to-head on the short-cut grass of 10 courts, competing for cash prizes awarded to winners and the best-dressed team.

“It’s going to be a fun time -- it’s always a fun time,” says David Haakenson, the founder and president of Swift Eagle, a nonprofit that provides financial aid for local residents in crisis. “Even though the grass is cut short, the ground is pret-ty uneven. If you think you’re a pro, an odd bounce could take you out.”

It’s no golf tournament or 5K run, says Haakenson, who alongside the event organizers, Craig and Ginny Snowdon, chose bocce ball because it is an event where everyone can partake. The tournament will be conducted in a round-robin format, crowning winners and losers at 11 points, or who-ever is ahead at the end of 15 minutes of play.

Following the tournament, there will be an after party in the EagleVail Pavilion that is only steps - or one rogue toss of the bocce ball – away, featuring an Italian dinner, silent auction and entertainment.

“We’ve had perfect weather in the past, and we’re in for more good weather this year.” Haakenson says. In reference, a trusted iPhone weather report predicts a mostly sunny day with a high of 73 degrees that Sunday.

Swift Eagle offers swift aidBefore the bocce ballers took to any kind of court, the

Swift Eagle Charitable Foundation was born, like many noble causes, out of a dream. Dubbed as a near-spiritual ex-perience by Haakenson, he describes having a dream in the late ‘90s that called him to eliminate the red tape often bar-ricading access to aid, and help people in a swift manner.

“I remember waking up with a strong idea that when peo-ple are in distress, they need help swiftly,” Haakenson says. “I told my wife about it, and she backed it immediately, tell-ing me it was a great idea.”

Overwhelmed by this idea, Haakenson and his wife held back on the dream until 2004 when Haakenson shared it with a close group of friends and long-time valley locals. They embraced the idea without hesitation, feeling that if they could help just a single person, it would be worth it

While knocking the Denver Nuggets from the 2012 NBA playoffs, the locally loathed Los Angeles Lakers fans may recognize the name of the foundation, Swift Eagle, as the translated nickname to their almighty: former coach, Phil Jackson.

Jackson, the figurehead of the organization, is a childhood best friend to Haakenson and was among the 19 friends that raised Swift Eagle. While playing for the New York Knicks, Jackson volunteered at an Indian reservation in South Da-kota teaching basketball to kids. Noting his wingspan, he was given the Lakota nickname “Ounacho Wambli” which translates to “Swift Eagle.” Thus, the name was born.

“I’ve been coming to Vail since the early 1970s,” Jackson

says. “Much of my introduction to the area was with friends that lived there. Then, three of my children went to CU (Uni-versity of Colorado at Boulder) and the connection with Col-orado went on from there. When my childhood friend Dave (Haakenson) told me about Swift Eagle, I felt compelled to join. The bocce outing is a great way to share activity, just as Swift Eagle is a great way to share in your community.”

Today, the organization is thriving in its goal of helping folks around the valley get back on their feet after losses of all kinds.

“We help in any way that we can,” Haakenson says. “We help people who lost their jobs, or people who came here for seasonal work and now deal with three to four months of nothing. We help people with medical bills and health issues. We’ll help pay rent, utilities or car payments. Anything that can help.”

And, as promised, the help comes fast. Only last week a man who lost nearly all of his possessions in the Avon condo fire applied for aid. His circumstance: lost in the fire were his dentures inhibiting the basic need to eat. In only short time, Swift Eagle swooped in and provided the man with the necessary funds to purchase new dentures.

A few years ago, a local high school graduate, faced with a birth defect that impeded his ability to walk, had outgrown a brace that allowed him to put one foot in front of another. To celebrate so many years of formal education, the kid had one wish: walk the stage at graduation to receive his diploma. Again, Swift Eagle helped, supplying the kid with a new

Edwards resident Dan Piliero rides his bike

to work everyday, dressed in a bright, safe-

ty-yellow vest – but you’ve probably never

seen him.

Piliero’s commutes are usually before dawn, at 5 a.m. in the summer and 7 a.m. in the winter – that’s right, he does it in the winter as well, from his home in Edwards to the base of Beaver Creek, where he works as a snowboarding instructor in the winter and a shuttle driver in the summer.

“It’s pretty to see the stars and a nice way to wake up,” he says, as if the commute were as normal as catching the bus. “Plus, I definitely enjoy the efficiency.”

Piliero is one of a handful of Eagle County residents who are being recognized as nomi-nees for ECO Trails’ annual Commuter of the Year award.

“We just want to raise more awareness about biking or walking as a way to commute,” says Jamie Pfahl of Eagle County’s public health department. “We have a huge recreation industry, but people don’t necessarily think about doing that to go to work or to the store.”

Eagle County’s Bike to Work Day is on Wednesday, June 27, when hundreds of other residents will leave their cars at home and join Piliero on the bike path.

The community-wide event encourages bike commuting with six support stations located up and down the valley along U.S. Highway 6 from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. Volunteers will host rest stops with food, beverages and prizes at Mayor’s Park in Vail, the Malin pedestrian bridge in Dowd Junction, the U.S. Highway 6 main roundabout in Avon, Edwards Corner on U.S. Highway 6 in Edwards, the Mountain Pedaler in Eagle and Eagle Valley High School in Gypsum. The event also features drawings for free prizes, including ski lift tickets and restaurant gift certificates.

The day got about 500 commuters out last year, and this year will mark the tenth anniver-sary of ECO Trails’ Bike to Work Day, although EagleVail’s Pedal Power bike shop ran an informal bike day previous to that.

Rain or shine, sleet or snowWhile Piliero might be riding too early to catch many of the festivities, he’s in good com-

pany among other commendable commuters. Other nominees include students who ride

their bikes to school all year, rain or snow, and even Stephan Nicolas, who commutes from Breckenridge to Vail by bike.

Commuting, especially in rough weather and at early hours, can take some motivation and maybe a streak of craziness, but the nominees say the endeavor is well worth it. They cited reasons ranging from wildlife watching to built-in exercise to saving gas.

According to Piliero’s nomination by a coworker, the father of seven is “always in a good mood, even when it’s gusting 45 mph winds, and it’s more natural for him biking than driv-ing.”

Piliero is proof that you don’t need any sort of fancy equipment to successfully commute. He started out on a thrift store bike when he began teaching snowboarding in 2005 and has had various upgrades through friends, including a new pair of snow tires someone gave him. Still, his set-up – a Bridgestone mountain bike – is basic, and it does the job. His ride sometimes includes run-ins with nature: He hears coyotes in the woods, he has seen bears and once even heard the shriek of a mountain lion. Still, he says the biggest hazards are ice patches in the winter, and the occasional stop by a police officer wondering what in the world he’s doing on the bike path before the crack of dawn.

His family does own a car, he says, but sometimes he and his wife get all the kids out bik-ing (the eldest on a unicycle and the smallest in a trailer) to run errands around town.

“I do it because it’s fun,” Piliero says. “I’m married, and I have seven kids. I’m not going to go home and tell people, ‘See ya, I’m going to the gym.’ I find this a nice way to start the day and get some exercise.”

Tips from the prosHow do you make a bike commute work into your schedule and work? The ECO nomi-

nees had some tips.When it’s cold – “ride faster,” says 14-year-old Ethan Pence, only half joking. He was among some younger commuters also recognized for their daily efforts. Pence,

along with fellow Eagle Valley Middle School students Alex Davis, Brandon Sheard and Tyler Grear, all 14, were recognized for riding to campus almost every day of the last school year. Pence says the group decided they wanted to ride daily two years ago and have mostly done so, only missing one day this year.

He says that parents have offered them rides in the car on the worst winter days.“We said, ‘No, it’s OK.’ It was more of a pride thing at that point,” Ethan laughs. “I re-

member the worst was probably one time during the winter. It was -12 degrees and hailing. When it’s cold, you just try to ride faster.”

Even if you are unaware of The Minturn Community Fund’s existence, you may very well have participated in one of their events without even knowing it – you might have attended a free concert in the park, or stopped to listen to the weekly community jam session, all endeavors of the local nonprofit.

The fund exists to “connect people, enhance lives, and preserve Minturn’s authentic com-munity,” as their mission states. Historically, this is something it has done through commu-nity events and support of local businesses, and now, after the fund’s office celebrates it’s grand opening on June 25, the fund will serve as a physical meeting place as well.

Long history, new spaceThe Minturn Community Fund has been around for longer than you may think. “We incorporated about 10 years ago,” says Andrew Kaufman, president of the board of

directors. The Fund today was born out of a live concert series that is still held in the summer at

the Little Beach Park and Amphitheater. These days, alongside those ever-popular concerts, there are a plethora of programs held for the benefit of the entire community.

“People sometimes come up with ideas that, as an individual, are too much for one person to manifest and perhaps not appropriate for government to initiate. This is where we come in. If we can facilitate these ideas, as good additions to the community, we can create a more cohesive community in general,” says Kaufman.

The Minturn Community Fund will be celebrating their new offices, now housed at 291 Main St., site of the old Lift Cafe, with an open house from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on June 25.

Kaufman says they are eager to use all the things that the larger space has to offer. Besides housing the offices, the space allows room for community meetings and programs. Come in on any given afternoon, and you can find out what events are coming up, chat with a neigh-bor or see local kids drawing on the sidewalks.

While Kaufman says they moved into the new offices in April, but it took a few months to get set up, and now the space appears to be ready for business. The friendly looking headquarters has the fund’s calendar of events drawn across the entire floor-to-ceiling front window. Photos hang on the brightly colored walls, and there is plenty of plush seating to

sink into.

Musical MinturnA goal of the fund is to partner with other business in Minturn to foster that community

vibe. One of these programs is the “Mini Music Makers”. The fund and Minturn Music co-created the Mini Music Makers, a bi-monthly program

La Sportiva and Columbia on board for popular local racesBy Larry Grossman

Vail trail running seriestakes

52 miles and 16,475 feet of climbing.These daunting numbers are what you will experience if

you choose to run all seven events in the Vail Recreation District La Sportiva Vail Mountain Trail Running Series. The 15th year of this very competitive series is presented by a new partner, the Columbia sportswear company. Two of the events have already taken place, and each race has overall time champions crowned, as well as podium places for individuals in different age groups. The races sometimes draw more than 400, and the Vail Hill Climb, the next race on the 2012 schedule, is the most popular on the calendar, says Beth Jahnigen Pappas, sports event and sponsorship manager for the Vail Recreation District.

The notorious Vail Hill Climb, which was voted the “best non-ultra running race” by the readers of Colorado Runner Magazine, is being contested on July 7 this year, which gives you two more weeks to get prepared for the grueling assault on Vail Mountain. Part of the mystique of this running series is its reputation for being challenging for even the best run-ners. Even the 5K Berry Picker race, which takes runners from the bottom of the Lionshead gondola on Vail Mountain to the top of the gondola at Eagle’s Nest, is a difficult test of fitness. However, it seems that runners embrace the test. This is clearly evidenced by the growth and popularity of the running series, which grew an impressive 22 percent in 2011 from the previous year. The 2010 season saw the addi-tion of two 5K events, with the intent to draw more runners into the series.

“For someone who runs a little bit and is interested in competing, definitely start with one of the 5k races and work your way up to a 10K or a longer distance,” says Pappas. “That was the Vail Rec District’s thinking when we added the 5K races.”

The cost to race is $170 for the entire series, $28 if you pre-register, and $38 if you register day of the event. You can register at the Vail Rec District website (www.vailrec.com) or at www.active.com.

Put it on your bucket listSeveral of these running events have become bucket-list

items for many racers. One of the more inspiring stories from the 2010 series was that of 57-year-old runner Peggy Campbell-Rush from Washington, N.J. Campbell-Rush is a cancer survivor, and has also survived a near-fatal traffic ac-cident. She was fortunate enough to be awarded a Project Athena scholarship, which provides women who have over-come medical challenges with the opportunity to embrace recovery and assists with accomplishing athletic goals. Not only did she accomplish her goal, but she finished an incred-ible seventh place in her age group by conquering the 14.4

mile half-marathon event in Vail, (voted the most scenic race by the readers of Colorado Runner magazine in 2010.)

The half marathon is another highlight of the series, and the 2012 course will take on a new personality with a few changes to accommodate U.S. Forest Service travel manage-ment plans. But do not panic, this is sure to be every bit of a challenge as the old course.

La Sportiva and ColumbiaThe title sponsor of the series, now in their fifth year, is La

Sportiva (www.sportiva.com), a company with a very im-pressive lineup of footwear for every type of endeavor you

may embark on. This is not just a trail-running shoe com-pany, folks. La Sportiva also has everything you need for any of your summer or winter adventures with full line of backcountry winter gear to compliment their warm weather choices, so be sure to check out the website for all the de-tails.

This year due to some fortuitous timing and circumstance, the mega brand Columbia jumped on board as the present-ing apparel sponsor of the race series. You will be seeing many runners in the valley sporting the latest Omni-Freeze ICE tech T-shirts. Every participant in each of the races will receive this technologically advanced garment from Colum-bia. The fabric is designed to lower in temperature when an athlete sweats, creating a built-in cooling system that you actually wear while running. Basically, when you get hot, the fabric gets cool, and that helps keep your personal engine running at optimum temperature for better performance.

“We can’t think of a better place than the Vail Trail Run-ning Series to introduce Colorado runners to the Omni-Freeze ICE shirts,” says Columbia spokesperson Scott Tre-panier.

Does Columbia Omni-Freeze Work?The Vail Rec District was kind enough to get me one of

these Columbia T-shirts to test. When presented with these opportunities, I try to give the product a true test, and that was definitely the case with the Omni-Freeze ICE shirt.

I went perhaps a bit over board with this effort and de-cided to wear the Omni-Freeze ICE underneath a cycling jersey and head out on a three hour mountain bike ride on the singletrack trails of Eagle with temperatures in the mid 80s. I rode hard and did some pretty heavy trail work along the way, guaranteeing I’d get pretty overheated and sweat a lot.

Being a pretty notorious sweater, I lost buckets of perspi-ration on this ride, and you know what? The Omni-Freeze ICE shirt performed very well. I’m not sure if I was actually expecting a different result or not, but I did remain notice-

In the United States, hamburgers are as in-

grained in the cultural palate as baseball

and apple pie. Even Chinese takeaway res-

taurants have a burger for picky kids.

Like a lot of American food, the burger has been reclaimed from fast-food joints and dressed up as a gourmet staple, with premium beef and rare toppings. At its medium-rare core, though, a burger is still a glorified sandwich – like freedom of choice you can eat.

The Vail Valley is teeming with choices for foodies who crave juicy, seductive burgers, featuring ingredients often found at area farms. SneakPEAK rounded up a few of the best, including options for grab-and-go, sit-down and vegetarian dining. No matter what, bring your appetite.

E-Town, Edwards RiverwalkAt first glance, E-Town seems to be made of disparate parts: A sports bar with a fine-

dining menu, neighborhood regulars and lofted ceilings, local craft brews served behind a sleek, brick-lined bar.

Then a server appears with a luscious burger on an angular plate, and everything clicks. The half-pound patties are handmade daily – the veggie version includes black beans, chick-peas, jalapenos and garlic – and seared on a flattop for juiciness. Toppings are simple, rang-ing from bacon to mushrooms to cheese, but meld seamlessly on the buttered bun – just the way a burger should.

E-Town’s blend of high and low captures the Colorado resort-town vibe, and after re-cently celebrating its fifth anniversary, E-Town co-owner Kevin Egan credits it for the res-

taurant’s success in a bleak economy. Egan and business partner Miller Lewis let a simple but careful menu guide their restaurant, a no-brainer philosophy that’s overlooked by less-fortunate establishments.

“We’re hands-on owners, and really try to listen and adjust,” Egan says. “We have our ideas of what people might want, but when the clientele inform us something isn’t working, we change. We just want to make everything better – up the ante food-wise without driving prices through the roof.”

True to Egan’s word, E-Town unveiled a new menu this week, featuring more than a dozen additions for under $20, including a portabello burger and turkey burger packed with jalapenos and cheddar cheese for $9.95.

SneakPEAK pick: A plain burger with sweet potato fries on Tuesday, when the basic ver-sion is $6.95 all day.

Taqueria No Se Hagan Bolas, AvonWhile driving through Avon, blink and you’ll miss one of the few bona fide taquerias

in the Rocky Mountains. Corner taco joints are ubiquitous along the Front Range, but few make a better Mexican hamburger than Taqueria No Se Hagan Bolas.

From a flavor standpoint, the burgers are unexpected – no green chile, no salsa, no outra-geous spice – and highlight traditional street cooking, with a single flattop manned by two chefs. The Alacrana burger ($5.50) honors the Mexican tradition of bold, fresh flavors with a touch of sweet, topping a quarter-pound burger patty with a slice of ham, grilled pineapple, homemade guacamole, lettuce, tomato, condiments and cheese on a plate-sized bun. The “Special” ($8) replaces the bun with a torta, a traditional flatbread large enough to make eat-ing with your hands deliciously impossible. Both burgers are enormous and sloppy, colorful and flavorful, comforting and surprising – near-perfect blends of American and Mexican food sensibilities. Eat the burger with a side of simple tacos or green chile fries (hey, we’re still in Colorado) and the meal clocks in under $10.

The Vail Valley is well known for producing a number of gifted athletes in many disciplines. Pro skiers, mountain bik-ers and tri-athletes all reside in our valley.

There are two coaches in the valley who are looking to add an entire new line of these great athletes to that list in the world of gymnastics. Heather Gilger and Mark Rosenstein, who are responsible for the Vail Recreation District’s gym-nastics program, have developed a very successful program and group of athletes, both male and female. Currently in the off-season, the program is in full training mode right now, with 35 girls and 11 boys preparing for the upcoming sea-son. The program has shown tremendous growth since 2008, when there were only eight girls on the team.

The 2012 season saw many great success stories come out of the VRD gymnastics program. Sage Abel, Kate Pittel and Kara Woodland have all had stellar performances in several disciplines at the State Gymnastics Meet in March, and Nat-alie Morrissey, 15, of Eagle, won the all-round. At the Gyp-sum compulsory meet this spring, the Vail team took home first place in virtually every competition category. These meets are all through the state’s sanctioning body, Colorado USA Gymnastics (COUSAG).

It is clear that all the hard work and coaching is paying off for these athletes. They are in the gym two to four days a week practicing their routines and working on new skills. Their website has a wealth of information pertaining to any and every question you may want answered as it relates to

Colorado gymnastics. You can find meet schedules, rules, and meet results.

For youth interested in getting involved with the Vail Rec District gymnastic program, see www.vailrec.com, which explains the different levels of classes from those for first-time newbies to more experienced athletes.

There are classes for preschoolers and tumbling and tram-poline classes as well, and the team hopes to increase the number of boys on the team to 20 this year. Prices range from $45 to $90 monthly depending on the program you sign up for. Bottom line is that there is a program for every athlete at every level. To find out more please contact the Vail Rec District at 970-479-2286 or e-mail them at [email protected]

And go get your tumble on.

On Yelp and other review sites, visitors from Arizona, New York and California often rave about the ramshackle seating, black-and-white vaquero photos and other genuine touches, all of which make the taqueria “un-Vail.” It’s a glowing compliment.

SneakPEAK pick: The Alacrana burger ($5.50) with pineapple and guacamole.

Larkburger, Edwards VillageCompared to other large resort communities (ahem, Summit County), the Vail Valley

has relatively few chain restaurants. Of the handful founded here, not many are better than Edwards-based gourmet burger joint Larkburger, started by restaurateur Thomas Salamu-novich of Vail’s fine-dining staple, Larkspur.

The Larkburger menu riffs off of Salamunovich’s founding creation – a third-pound An-gus patty, aged cheddar, fresh-picked veggies and house-made sauce – with staples and surprises: Shakes and fries served with portabello burgers and ginger-rubbed tuna patties. The hand-cut truffle fries with parmesan, parsley and truffle oil are as sublime as chopped potatoes get, and it’s the only fast-food stop where burgers are cooked – not just made – to order. (We like ours medium rare).

Larkburger trims the fat off a fast-food experience and leaves only the delicious basics: Starting at $5.95, a burger here costs a buck or two more than at McDonald’s in Vail and the service is just as quick. After stellar reviews in publications like Denver’s Westword and Bon Appétit, the two-year-old chain now has locations in Colorado foodie hotspots such as Boulder, Fort Collins and Greenwood Village.

SneakPEAK pick: The third-pound Larkburger with pepper jack cheese ($6.45) and truf-fle fries ($2.95).

Bearfish Bar and Grill, West VailWhen a restaurant’s marquee burger is the brainchild (and favored meal) of the owner,

entire reputations are at stake. Luckily, the Lonestar Burger ($12.95) at Bearfish Bar and Grill in West Vail keeps diners returning year after year, even as myriad other eateries take root in the valley.

The massive burger is an ode to Texas in name, flavor and flair – not to mention utter size. Cooks begin with a half-pound of prime Angus beef, marinated and seared in a house-made sauce to lend it a zesty, slightly-sweet tang. The burger is cooked to order and layered on a Texas-made jalapeno cheddar bun, fried onions and jalapenos, pepper jack cheese and scratch-made aioli, served with a fried pickle on the side. The end result is a juicy, sultry, not overly-spicy burger, and the closest most Texas natives will get to a taste of home in the mountains. You have to eat this one with your hands.

SneakPEAK pick: The Lonestar Burger ($12.95) with plenty of napkins.

The Dusty Boot, Beaver Creek and Eagle RanchA name like “The Dusty Boot” implies mountain-town simplicity, and the burgers at both

locations of this favorite watering hole begin unassuming enough, featuring a half-pound of hand-packed beef with tomato, lettuce and red onion on a grilled bun for $11 bucks. From there, things get interesting.

The Dusty Boot is one of several joints with a “build your own burger” menu – at a buck per item, it gets a bit pricey – but forgo mad-scientist urges and choose a pre-made specialty burger for $14. There’s the Fat Burger, crafted with bacon strips, crumbled bleu cheese, house-made onion rings and barbecue sauce infused with Fat Tire, the namesake of Colo-rado’s largest craft brewery. The Southwest Burger packs heat with pepper jack cheese and sliced jalapenos, all smothered with homemade green chile good enough to eat with a spoon.

SneakPEAK pick: The Fat Burger ($14) with included sweet potato tots.

The Beaver Creek Music Experience will envelop the hillside of Strawberry Park with sounds of music for four weekends this summer with the return of the resort’s outdoor concerts. The series features music of America’s most popular genres ranging from jazz t bluegrass to rock ‘n’ roll on the lawn of Strawberry Park.

All shows start at 6 p.m. and gates will open at 5 p.m. Tickets for the regular shows are $25 for VIP seating and $10 for general admission lawn seating. Finale show tickets on Sept. 8, featuring Great American Taxi, The Soul Rebels and Dr. John, are $50 for VIP seats and $30 for general admission. Kids 12 and under receive free lawn seating in general admis-sion. The Music Experience 4-Pack provides tickets to all shows for $112 for VIP seating and $54 for general admission. Tickets can be purchased online at www.beavercreek.com/musicexperience.

“We’re excited to bring back Beaver Creek’s popular outdoor concert series with the Bea-ver Creek Music Experience,” said Tim Baker, executive director of Beaver Creek Resort Company. “The unique Strawberry Park venue will serve as the perfect setting as a natural outdoor amphitheater for the musical talent of our summer lineup. We’re expecting some great shows.”

The LineupJune 30: Jazz, Soul and FunkHazel Miller thunders into town with her primal dose of genuine soul. Miller has been a

sought-after performer in Colorado for the past 24 years. On the funkier side of things, Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk is a recipe for creating a new standard for an entire genre. The band continues to receive accolades and awards such as “New Orleans Best Funk Band” by

Offbeat Magazine and Gambit Weekly in 2007 and 2009. They also took home the trophy for Best Funk Award at the 2010 Big Easy Awards.

July 7: Americana (Country/ Bluegrass)The second show of the series features White River Ramble; a Colorado-bred quintet that

combines the elements of mandolin, fiddle, acoustic guitar, upright sass, drums and vocals through a mixture of original music and innovative covers. Also playing that evening is Bleu Edmondson, known for his gritty vocal style. But look just beneath the surface and you find the heart of a Texas poet filled with all-American roots rocker’s blood.

Aug. 4: Rock ‘n’ Roll/ Rhythm & BluesChris Duarte rolls into Beaver Creek with his blues/rock guitar style. This singer/song-

writer will rock the mountains with his passion and exquisite guitar skill. Sept 8: Grand FinaleThe Beaver Creek Music Experience concludes with its Grand Concert event. Taking

the stage will be Great American Taxi, which marks its sixth year as one of the best-known headliners on the Americana music scene with a new release, “Paradise Lost,” featuring their signature upbeat, country-, bluegrass-, rock-infused, Americana-without-borders feel. Also playing are The Soul Rebels, called “the missing link between Public Enemy and Louis Armstrong” by the Village Voice. They combine top-notch musicianship and songs with grooves that celebrate life in time-honored New Orleans style. Dr. John, a recent inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, brings his infectious jazz and popular music sound to the Beaver Creek stage.

Attendees can receive various discounts at participating village merchants by flashing their concert tickets. For more information on the Beaver Creek Music Experience, see www.beavercreek.com/musicexperience.

Work up a healthy appetite, indulge in some of the Vail Valley’s finest gourmet offerings and give back to your com-munity, all at the same time on Sunday, July 8, as the Vail Valley Foundation introduces the inaugural Trek to Table benefit hike and dining extravaganza on Arrowhead and Beaver Creek mountains. Benefiting the Foundation’s over-arching mission of enhancing the Vail Valley through arts, athletic and educational events and programs, Trek to Table will feature a nine-mile hike, with guides from the Beaver Creek Hiking Center, from Arrowhead to Beaver Creek,

with varying routes and degrees of difficulty. Along the way, hikers will be treated to a gourmet trail feast, with dining stops at four of the private cabins and restaurants that dot the route.

“Trek to Table is a wonderful opportunity to combine a great day of hiking and beautiful scenery with a full day of incredible food, all for a terrific cause,” says Ceil Folz, presi-dent of the Vail Valley Foundation. “Not only can you have a great outdoor outing, but you can make a significant contri-bution to our community in the process, in essence feeding both the body and the soul.”

The day will begin at 7:30 a.m., with breakfast at the Bro-

ken Arrow Restaurant at the base of Arrowhead Mountain. Mid-morning refreshments will be served at Zach’s Cabin, while lunch will be provided at Beano’s Cabin on Beaver Creek Mountain. Trek to Table will conclude with après at Allie’s Cabin.

After living in Eagle long enough, natives and longtime residents likely have a story or two about Eagle Flight Days, the town’s annual celebration of all things local and funky.

Marilene Miller, the town clerk and treasurer, took her children every year before they grew up and moved away. She now spends her Summer Solstice – which always coin-cides with the celebration – organizing dozens of vendors. Sheryl Staten, the Eagle Area Recreation Manager for WEC-MRD, watches for the annual return of friends who moved away over the years. This weekend, her mom will be back in town.

“It’s an awesome small-town event,” Staten says. “One of the cool things you get is all the people you haven’t seen in a while. It’s a place to reconnect and just a lot of fun.”

Celebrating communityEagle Flight Days kicks off this Friday at Eagle Town

Park and runs through Sunday afternoon, with the majority of activities taking place Saturday within walking distance of the park and town hall. The full roster of events reads like an off-the-wall state fair, including free concerts by local and Denver bands, community karaoke, a pet show, pancake breakfast, something called “blooperball,” a vintage Girl Scout fashion show, and dozens of food and craft vendors.

Despite such an enormous range of activities, event com-mittee co-chair and former Eagle mayor Roxie Deane says most of the events have been part of the Eagle Flight Days lineup for decades, including opening-night favorites like the pet show and baby show. Her favorite recent memory: open karaoke, when more adults than kids lined up to belt out ‘80s pop tunes.

“People really know what to expect,” Dean says. “It’s a local celebration – I call it ‘a gift to the people of Eagle.’ It’s not a tourist attraction, and we never try and make it that. This is something for the community.”

Must-see productions After more than 50 years, Eagle Flight Days has enter-

tained nearly three generations of down-valley residents. During that time, it has kept a down-home feel and audi-ence, even as similar events like Gypsum Daze and the Ea-gle County Rodeo in July attract more out-of-town attention.

It’s not that Eagle Flight Days is a half-hearted affair; like community gatherings of old, the celebration features nearly a dozen public performances. The one-two punch of the pet and baby show starts the weekend at 5 p.m. on Friday at Centennial Stage in the park. The tradition is more than 20 years old and features town newborns and prized pets, all in a friendly pageant-like format. The evening caps off with more than four hours of free concerts beginning at 6 p.m. with SomeTown, a local country/rock band, and the nation-ally known horn-and-guitar act Chris Daniels and The Kings from Denver.

After the enormous pancake breakfast by the Eagle Li-ons Club from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., the celebration gets into full swing with a community-wide parade along Broadway. Entries from Eagle Valley High School clubs, local summer camps, the 10th Mountain Roller Dolls roller derby team and more take to the streets, attracting thousands of spectators.

Following the parade at 11 a.m. is a demonstration by the Lawn Chair Brigade, a must-see routine that crosses color guard-like theatrics with webbed, multi-colored folding

chairs. At 11:30 a.m. is the Girl Scout uniform vintage fash-ion show, sponsored by local Girl Scout units with members decked out in iconic beige and green uniforms, some dating back to when Eagle Flight Days was founded.

The rest of the day is filled with music and dancing, in-cluding a performance by the Eagle Valley High School Dance Team. The evening culminates in another four hours of live music at the park, lead by local bluegrass and jazz act New Shoes at 6 p.m., followed by returning Denver cover band and summer-concert specialists Hot Posse at 8:30 p.m.

Let’s play BlooperballIn keeping with Eagle’s reputation as an outdoor Mecca,

Eagle Flight Days is packed with sports, but none of the bik-ing or trail races that epitomize more recent events. Instead, organizers opted for team events like the manic “Blooperball Tournament” on Saturday at 1 p.m. in Bull Pasture Park.

As described by recreation manager Staten, blooperball is like softball played with a 14-inch padded ball, aluminum bats and no gloves. The game is so rare, it took several hours on the Internet to find equipment, and invites the kind of

costumed insanity typical of a fun, non-competitive environ-ment.

“In years past, we’ll get teams dressed in these ridiculous, funny outfits,” Staten says. “People really have a blast – the longtime locals love to come out and play.”

Registration is $5 per team and is open to co-ed players over 14 years old. Last year’s tournament had four teams, and Staten suggests signing up beforehand by calling the Eagle Pool at 970-328-5277, although teams can register on the spot before 1 p.m.

Sunday is the busiest day for athletics, beginning with 5K and 10K races at 7 a.m., an outdoor yoga session in the park at 9 a.m., and grass volleyball tournament at 9 a.m. with adult and youth divisions. For registration info on all three, call the town at 970-328-6354.

Players line up for a vintage baseball game, an annual part of the Eagle Flight Days, a weekend community festival from June 22-24. Photo special to SneakPEAK.

Ashley with Affl eck Insurance

� e Bride: Jessica � ompson of Lancaster, Kansas� e Groom: Adam Hurley of Hutchison, Kansas

Married: July 28, 2011Location: Vail, Colorado

How they metJessica and Adam � rst met at Lake of the Ozarks over Memorial Day weekend of 2005 during a weekend with mutual friends at the lake. Jessica contacted Adam a couple times a� er the weekend, and Adam asked Jessica to join him and a few friends for drinks. Af-ter a fun summer getting to know each other, Adam invited Jessica to be his date at a family wedding he was attending, and shortly

a� er that Adam asked, “So would it be OK if I called you my girlfriend?” And that’s where it all started.

How he proposed:On October 16, 2010, Adam bought three long-stemmed roses and placed one at the front door with a note that said “May 28, 2005” (the day they met). He placed another in the bedroom with one of their favorite pictures together, and the date “Oct. 16, 2010,” writ-

ten on it. Beasley (their dog) was sent out to the back patio to alert Adam when Jessica arrived. When Jessica got home, she found the � rst two roses. Turning around, she found Adam is kneeling behind her with the third long stem rose, a ring and the question.

Why they got married in Vail:According to Jessica, “Vail has always had a special place in my heart. My grandparents own timeshares in Vail, and my family has been going there every year for ten-plus years. So for that, I thank my grandparents for providing such a beautiful place where we have created the most special and amazing memories. � ere was never a doubt in my mind that I would have my wedding in Vail

some day. It is such a special place to me, and the wedding couldn’t have been more beautiful… just as I’d imagined.”

HOT SUMMER NIGHTS –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– [From page 3]

The four decided to bike to school partly for fun and partly to do their bit for the environment.

“I think with gas prices so high and the environmental is-sue, doing public transportation or riding – it’s a little thing we can do to preserve natural resources and the planet, even if its just once a week,” Pence says.

A group of six Brush Creek Elementary students also got awards for biking to school.

Nicolas, the commuter from Breckenridge, advises com-

muters to be prepared for any type of weather and to bring plenty of food.

As the general manager at the Lodge at Vail, Nicolas rides his road bike once a week to work from his home in Breck-enridge, 32 miles each way. The commute takes 1 hour and 45 minutes to Vail, and 2 hours 15 minutes going back, he says.

Nicolas began riding once a week to save money on gas, as well as to train for his triathlon, mountain bike racing and

trail running races. Always bring warm clothes in your back-pack, even if the weather is nice, he warns.

“Any month of the year, bring stuff to be warm and safe in,” Nicolas says. “I’ve seen a bluebird day turn into a hail storm. Also bring lots of food. I don’t know how many times I’ve been on a ride and just bonked in the middle of it. Just make sure to think ahead and have a backup plan.”

BIKE TO WORK ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– [From page 6]

ably cooler on a hot day while putting in a substantial effort on the bike for several hours. When I got back home after a long descent, the shirt was dry. Once again, I wore this UN-DER another garment to test it, and the shirt performed very well.

Hence, the Omni-Freeze ICE t-shirt does what it claims, and you should be pretty psyched to find it in your schwag bag when you sign up for any of the Vail Rec District Running

Series races. Run hard, stay cool and enjoy the trail running this summer. Don’t sweat it.

&Health WellnessWalk along Eagle River or Gore Creek over the past few

weeks and, despite balmy temperatures, it seems like early November. The dusting of white, puffy dander is pollen from thousands of cottonwood trees lining area waterways. When it looks like snow and feels like summer, it means that al-lergy season is in full swing, and heavily wooded areas like Eagle County can be some of the harshest for people with hay fever.

The bulk of seasonal allergens – ragweed, tree pollen and grasses – affect sufferers in wildly different ways, but even folks with normally hardy resistance may notice itchier eyes and raspier throats. The county hasn’t had a solid rainstorm in several weeks, which makes airborne allergens more likely to cloud en masse. Add the potential of smoke from nearby fires in Northern Colorado and New Mexico, and the season could be worse than normal.

“Some allergies hit hard in spring, but right now it’s really high season,” says Deborah Wiancek, a naturopathic physi-cian and owner of Riverwalk Natural Health Clinic in Ed-wards. “Smoke and other pollutants can exacerbate previous issues. It could get worse as summer goes on.”

As a resident of Eagle County for more than 15 years, Wiancek has become familiar with the allergens that plague residents and visitors in summertime. She claims ragweed and tree pollens are the most common, followed by grasses in particularly dry years. Before treating symptoms, though, she looks at the root problem of any seasonal allergy: long-standing food allergies. Anyone with a food allergy – par-ticularly brought about by poor diet and lack of exercise – can be susceptible to the swift but miserable symptoms of seasonal allergies.

“What we find now is food allergies tend to be getting worse,” Wiancek says. “When you don’t straighten out the internal environment, the environmental allergies can de-velop.”

Know what you’re against Before beginning an allergy-treatment regimen, Wiancek

prescribes one of two tests: a skin scratch or Immunoglobin E (IgE). Skin-scratch tests expose portions of the arm di-rectly to allergens, then gauges small reactions like a rash or bumps. It’s particularly helpful for people who move and develop new allergies – a doctor familiar with the area can test for common allergens.

As a blood test, the IgE test evaluates one of the immune system’s main indicators for allergic reactions, an antibody found in lung cells and mucus membranes known as IgE. When people have allergic reactions to food or plants, IgE levels spike and release histamines, the substance that causes the most noticeable nervous reactions. Quick-relief medica-tions like Benadryl are anti-histamines – in other words, they only treat symptoms, not root causes.

Even if a patient doesn’t opt for holistic or homeopathic remedies, Wiancek still recommends visiting an allergist for an evaluation. Both the skin and blood test can identify nearly 100 different allergens – without knowing the specific

pollens or plants that affect you, treatment is no more effec-tive for long-term relief than taking Benadryl each morning.

Save a day on the trailLack of exercise can factor into the emergence of new al-

lergies, but Wiancek realizes that’s rarely a problem in the valley.

What can you do when a sudden allergy attack hits during a bike ride, and you don’t want the droopiness of an antihis-tamine? Chow on snacks or trail mix covered in wasabi. The Japanese spice is a member of the horseradish family, which accounts for its spicy, tear-jerking constitution and makes it

a boon for allergy sufferers. It contains allyl isothiocyanate, a chemical that promotes mucus flow and can momentarily clear clogged passages.

If you can’t stomach wasabi, make a homemade saline rinse with kosher salt and warm water. Keep it in a spray bottle and sniff a bit into each nostril before leaving for the day, or carry it in your backpack. The mixture can wash away irritants already in your nose, as well as potentially cleanse entire affected cells.

More than once a seasonAt her clinic, Wiancek uses the results of the allergy tests –

which can find everything from seasonal issues to unknown food reactions – to build an “allergy elimination” program. In keeping with her holistic training, the treatment includes

Banish seasonal allergies

Is it hay fever or a cold?

Symptoms for the most common sickness and most common allergies are frustratingly similar. Although the seasons for both don’t exactly match, you don’t want to treat one when your body is fighting the other. A quick guide:

Hay fever - Runny nose with watery, clear discharge- No fever- Itchy eyes, throat or roof of mouth- Sinus pressure and pain- Symptoms appear immediately after ex-

posure (e.g. a walk)- Symptoms last as long as you’re around

allergens

Cold- Runny nose with thin or thick yellowish

discharge- Body aches- Fever- Symptoms show after one to three days- Symptoms last up to seven days

in its second summer season in which local musicians teach children the importance and fun of music. Each event is held at the Minturn Music store at 10 a.m. every other Tuesday. Shop owner and Minturn resident Shawn McKeown says the fund and Jodi Jahrling, its executive director, for their work and enthusiasm in partnering with local businesses.

“When Jodi took over at the community fund, she seemed to change the focus of the organization,” McKeown says. “She really incorporated some of the ideas that I had and saw them through to execution. I think she did that with other business owners as well, and I believe that the sense of com-munity among us has blossomed because of it.”

Local musician Ellie Gauthier led the first Mini Music Makers of the season last week.

“I had so much fun,” Gauthier says. “The entire Pooh Cor-ner Preschool came over. We had over 20 kids with us. To-gether we created homemade maracas, and I played them a bunch of Woody Guthrie’s children songs. We sang, played the maracas and danced around.”

Gauthier says she looks forward to possibly participating in future community fund events later this summer. The next Mini Music Makers is scheduled for Tuesday, June 26, and will be led by Kevin Heinz.

There are many other programs created and supported by the organization. Every Saturday at 9:30 a.m., residents en-joy free Yoga in the Park with Jill Koellhoffer. There is also a free book exchange for kids, and every other Saturday there is a free movie shown at the Little Beach Park and Amphi-theater with a singer/songwriter showcase before the start of each movie. The last Monday of the month, the fund gives away a household staple like milk or toothpaste or eggs.

A recipe for successThe intertwining thread to these activities and events of

the Minturn Community Fund is the fact that all are free, supported by donors and fundraisers.

“We try to just raise enough funds to support the programs we hold.” says Kaufman.

The other essential item behind these programs is the vol-unteer community. Volunteers are the backbone to programs like the new Minturn Community Garden.

“We couldn’t create things like this without the aid of our community volunteers. These people work in conjunction with us to create and maintain our programs such as the gar-den.” says Kaufman.

One of the most effective, but intentionally least touted

programs is the Family Emergency Fund. Occasionally the Minturn Community Fund offers up financial assistance to identified Minturn residents in need of some financial help. Organizers are alerted by local law enforcement, medical professionals, social workers, ministers or professional care-givers who can request emergency assistance for families or individuals currently in need. These gifts are confidential and not publicized with the objective of quietly supporting the goal of “strengthening community bonds.”

All in all, business owners and residents alike have the same single word to say when talking about the fund -- com-munity.

The organization works to bring together the people who live and work in the Minturn area and enable them to enjoy and support each other. These people and businesses are the pieces of a whole, and participants all seem to understand that whatever they do to benefit the whole will benefit the pieces. To get more information on the Minturn Community Fund and to find a full calendar of programs and events go to www.minturncommunityfund.org.

brace before graduation.

A local affairBridging the financial gap so many families face today, Swift Eagle has gotten locals car-

ing about locals in the Valley. Through grassroots fundraising such as the upcoming bocce ball tournament, those seeking aid understand that it comes from a valley-wide effort.

“Recently, my husband was injured and unable to work,” says one of the aid recipients. “Needless to say, we were struggling to get by, and Swift Eagle came to the rescue. I can’t tell you how much it meant to us to have that assistance – I mean being able to pay medical bills and still make out mortgage payment.”

The recipient says that after living in the valley for 27 years, she takes pride in the fact that organizations such as Swift Eagle are so important in taking care of one another.

Haakenson, much like the other 19 members of Swift Eagle, knows what it is to be a Vail local. Sharing a similar story to other long timers in the valley, Haakenson moved out to Vail in 1970 to spend a season skiing and never left. He found roots in the community working at the old outdoor skating rink in Vail, tending golf courses, ski instructing, bartending and owning various businesses. Swift Eagle, he says, is one way that he can give back to the community he has enjoyed for so many years.

a total-body evaluation, looking at everything from diet to exercise to past health issues. It again goes back to her belief that individual treatment is best, even for people who believe seasonal allergies are little more than an occasional burden.

“You can desensitize people from some allergens, but not one thing is going to work for every person,” Wiancek says. “That why it’s important to sit down and be diagnosed.”

The bulk of the desensitization process is building a

healthy immune system, what Wiancek says is key to ward-ing off allergies. Strong antibodies, including IgE, mean it’s less likely for the body to react drastically and release his-tamines when flooded with allergens. A portion of treatment includes clearing the diet of unhealthy or toxin-heavy foods, such as processed sugars and white flour. She suggests in-troducing organic multi-vitamins, clean Omega-3 fatty acids and probiotics, such as those found in foods like yogurt.

After looking at lifestyle elements, Wiancek can recom-mend herbal or botanical remedies. The treatments aren’t vaccines – they won’t prevent symptoms by introducing strands into the body – but they can detoxify body cells and help the immune system recover from allergic reactions.

Samaritan Counseling Center

Spiritually-integrated psychotherapy

Deb Felio, M.A., L.P.C., is a nationally recognized presenter and therapist specializing in attachment issues for adoptive and blended families, individuals healing from trauma, and those who want to change the repeated patterns of choosing the wrong people.For real change, change how you connect.To set up an appointment, Call Deb directly at 303-548-8902.

Do you rarely enjoy being with your family?

Do you worry about never having someone who cares about you?

Do you wonder why others need so much closeness?

What we know is what we do, and it begins with attachment.The fi rst connections experienced in life infl uence our relationships and interactions for years. When there have been interruptions to those early attachments - whether adoption, divorce, death, medical crises, abandonment or abuse - the basis for trust and security in relationships is affected.

Identifying your attachment/connection style and the beliefs associated with it can move you toward what you want in your relationships and in your life.
