Usually the annual rodeo and fair is the biggest event of summer in

upside down.
RANDY WYRICK, Vail Daily Reporter
the story of the year just fell out of the sky and landed on me."
Randy Wyrick reports for the Vail Daily and he's hard pressed these
days to cover anything other than Kobe Bryant.
it's a conversation piece, it's a curiosity. People are talking about
it here just like they're talking about it everywhere else.
Since last month when a 19 year old woman from Eagle accused basketball
star Kobe Bryant of sexual assault this town has been under national
scrutiny.
A media army has moved in and it's not always pretty. (nat tent falling
on still guy)
It may be Bryant who is facing trial but it sometimes seems a whole
community is being judged.
Henri Stone/Eagle Co. Resident
we're kind of amazed at some of the negativity
that's being directed in here
High in the Rockies and between the high priced resorts of Vail and
Aspen, Eagle is the kind of place where people come to get away from it
all.
But Eagle means something different to many fans of Kobe Bryant who
can't believe the superstar with the clean cut image could ever have
committed sexual assault.
In a town where there are few African Americans some outsiders see the
accusations against Bryant as evidence of racism.
MICHAEL CACIOPPO/Publisher, Speakout!
we may not have a lot of black people here but
to suggest that this county is racist is absurd.
Michael Cacioppo runs a local alternative newspaper Speak out Vail, that
also publishes on the internet. Visits to the site have increased ten
fold and are now measured in the millions. Many online readers,
Cacioppo says, have written angry responses to his reports.
INTV MICHAEL CACIOPPO
He reads a letter from his paper.
you freaking half-witted blankety blank. your
reporting of the blank story is a complete crock of
blankety blank. it goes onn to say the lakers rule,
kobe is innocent."
At the Eagle Diner, the manager is willing to talk but gives only her
first name, Barb because of e-mail and phone threats to some who have
spoken to the media.

While the young woman has not been named, its hard to remain anonymous
in a small town. Here in Eagle her identity is no secret.
YANDLE FRIEND/Alleged Victim's Friend
everyone knows everybody here.
Joshua Yandle, is a school friend of the alleged victim. He says her
true friends are honoring a plea from her family to say nothing publicly
about her.
YANDLE FRIEND
i've seen her around and i've talked to her a
couple times but i really haven't talked to her about
anything that happened.

There, she'll perform the legendary tune, and then reveal its subject.
In return, Ebersol has to swear not to tell anyone else.
