controlled burn north of Placerville, got out of control Tuesday after strong winds fanned the flames and crews were called in to put it out. Firefighters from several agencies responded to the fire after a call came in around 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The fire, which was burning in the San Juan Visa subdivision on private land, was
Small fire spread to more than an acre considered to be unpredictable due to high winds and its potential to spread fast. Though no structures were damaged during the blaze, it got into some trees and crews battled to keep it from spreading further all of Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. By Wednesday afternoon crews
had the fire completely contained and only around 1.3 acres had burned. “With the wind, it took the fire, and it extended it into the forest a bit,” said Telluride Fire Protection District Director John Bennett. “It was pretty small, but we had a lot of stand-
ing dead [trees] and a lot of what we call jackpots, which are big piles of dead debris and we were trying to keep it out of the tree tops.” Crews and vehicles from Telluride Fire Protection District Stations 1, 2 and 3 as well as crews and vehicles from the U.S. Forest Service and the BLM responded to the fire, along with members of the San Miguel See FIRE, Page 11

And for the fans of such bands, there’s the pure joy upon learning that the band they grew up listening to or fell in love with at a pivotal time in their lives is getting back together. That joy was felt by Nickel Creek fans earlier this year when the band, comprised of Chris Thile, Sara Watkins and Sean
Watkins, announced that after a seven-year hiatus they would be releasing a new album in 2014 and touring to support it. One of their first announced gigs is here in Telluride for the 41st annual Telluride Bluegrass Festival.

orwood Town Board members unanimously backed a motion to renew the fiveyear lease at the Norwood Community Garden at last Wednesday’s monthly town meeting. According to NCG spokesperson Lisa Ross, about 30 plots are rented, and approximately 60 people are currently gardening. Ross said she sees gardeners of all ages working in NCG and that more than 100 volunteers have participated throughout the last five years. The CSU Extension Office has a hoop house on site to provide gardening education. And, an overflow plot is being used for the local food bank. Sheds, compost bins and a sandbox have been added for the use of community gardeners. “Some people just come by and help for fun. We are really lucky, we have tremendous appreciation for this spot — the tree, the spot on the river. It attracts community members and is used by others besides gardeners,” Ross said. In the future, NCG has the Art in the Garden event through ACE coming up in August. NCG members are also in the process of building a handicapped gardening spot with a raised bed. “We are also joining the chamber and have created a website

MAN TRIED TO TOSS DRUG-FILLED FOOTBALL INTO PRISON
Michigan authorities say a man tried to throw a football loaded with drugs and cellphones into the yard of a state prison. According to state police Trooper Toby Baker, Sunday’s throw in Jackson came up short with the football landing between two fences and not in the yard where prisoners exercise. An officer at the G. Robert Cotton Correctional Facility saw the man throw the football, and he was taken into custody. The Detroit Free Press reports the ball contained heroin, marijuana, tobacco, three cellphones and chargers. ARIZONA

ASPEN
Prosecutors have dropped charges against one of three people arrested in the murder of a prominent Aspen woman, citing new evidence that came to light late last week. The Aspen Times reports prosecutor Andrea Bryan declined to discuss what led to Tuesday’s dismissal of charges against 62-year-old Nancy Styler in the death of 57-year-old Nancy Pfister. District Attorney Sherry Caloia says her office “could not prove that Ms. Styler was involved in the crimes.” Authorities arrested Styler and her husband, 66-year-old William Styler, on March 3. They were charged with first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder and being an accessory after the fact. Fifty-six-year-old Katherine Carpenter, of Aspen, was arrested March 14 and faces the same charges. Pfister, whose parents co-founded the Buttermilk ski area, was found bludgeoned to death in her home Feb. 26. GRAND JUNCTION

In a news release, officials say they suspect the businesses might be involved in prostitution and human trafficking. The release says some women might be moved from city to city against their will. A spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office says search warrants were executed but he declined to discuss what was seized. The search warrants have been sealed. Federal agencies involved in the raids include the Department of Homeland Security and the Internal Revenue Service.

Deadly brawl is latest test of self-defense laws Law prevents charges in Grand Junction shooting By SADIE GURMAN
D
Associated Press
ENVER (AP) — A Colorado prosecutor said he’s frustrated that the state’s “Make My Day” law prevents him from charging a man who killed an acquaintance during a drunken brawl that spilled into his home, becoming the latest test to self-defense gun laws nationwide. The New Year’s Day shooting involving “foolish, drunken children” likely was not what lawmakers had in mind when they adopted Colorado’s law, Mesa County District Attorney Pete Hautzinger said. It protects homeowners from prosecution for using deadly force when someone illegally enters their home and there’s reason to believe that person will commit a crime. Self-defense laws like Colorado’s have received renewed attention recently after deadly shootings in Montana, Minnesota and Nevada. After a six-month investigation, Hautzinger decided last week not to file charges against Joseph Hoskins, 36, in the death of Randy Cook, 47. After a night of drinking at a party in the western Colo-

CASTLE ROCK TO VOTE ON OPENLY CARRYING FIREARMS
Voters in Castle Rock will be asked whether to allow people to openly carry firearms on town property and whether to include that right in the town charter.

The council voted in January to repeal a ban on openly carrying firearms in town-owned public See BRIEFS, Page 6
rado city of Grand Junction, Cook and another man went to fight Hoskins outside his house. The fight moved inside and to Hoskins’ bedroom, where the homeowner said Cook tried to snatch away his shotgun. Hoskins tackled Cook and shot him, according to Hoskins’ account of the night, which was relayed to investigators through an attorney. “These grown men, otherwise basically upstanding, lawabiding citizens, are acting like drunken children, and as a result, a good man got killed, and I can’t hold anyone accountable for it in the criminal justice system,” Hautzinger told The Associated Press. He said Cook apparently had no involvement in an ongoing Facebook feud between Hoskins and the other man that had been brewing for days before they decided to square off. “It sticks in my craw to be unable to hold Joseph Hoskins accountable for his actions,” Hautzinger said. “But it’s not a very close legal call.” Hoskins did not return calls seeking comment, and his attorney, Terry Ryan, said he could not talk about the case. Beginning with Florida in
2005, at least 22 states have expanded the self-defense principle known as the “castle doctrine,” the premise that a person has the right to defend their home against attack. Colorado was not among them. The broadened laws say the doctrine can be applied to confrontations outside the home, with language such “stand your ground” and “no duty to retreat.” The laws make it easier for a person to shoot someone and avoid prosecution by saying they felt an imminent danger, which has increasingly placed the burden on prosecutors to prove selfdefense did not occur, said Steven Jansen, vice president of the Washington, D.C.-based Association of Prosecuting Attorneys. “It has created an increase in investigation and an increase in frustration among prosecutors when trying to make decisions,” he said. “You have to proactively anticipate that self-defense is going to be claimed.” The concept came under national scrutiny in the 2012 shooting of an unarmed Florida teenager, Trayvon Martin, by a neighborhood watch volunteer who was following him. George Zimmerman was acquitted last year after arguing self-defense.

ENVER (AP) — Republicans hoping to topple Democrats’ one-seat majority in the Colorado Senate will take a first step next Tuesday when they pick their candidates in two key legislative races in the Denver suburbs. Their challenge, political observers said, is making sure they select candidates who can appeal to the crucial bloc of independent voters during the general election, instead of picking candidates that may be seen as too conservative to win in November. “The legislative races are important for two reasons: They have a very practical impact on what party controls the state Senate in January. And secondly, they’re important as an indicator of where the Republican Party is going and how strong its self-destructive mode remains,” said Eric Sondermann, an independent political analyst in Colorado. Republicans are still lamenting their choice to run for governor in 2010, when they selected political newcomer and tea-party favorite Dan Maes, who never mounted much of a challenge to current Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper. The high-stakes primaries are in Senate District 22, which covers Lakewood. That’s where the Republican candidates are Mario Nicolais, a GOP attorney who served as one of the map-drawers during state redistricting in 2011, and Tony Sanchez, who has experience managing nonprofits and who has worked on outreach to Latinos for the party. In Senate District 19, Lang Sias, a veteran of both Gulf Wars who is considered a rising star in the Republican Party, faces Republican Laura Woods, who has owned a court-reporting businesses and was involved in two recall petition efforts against former District 19 Sen. Evie Hudak. Hudak was targeted because she voted with fellow Democrats to pass gun-control laws last year. Hudak resigned during the second recall effort before signatures were turned in, and Democrats selected Rachel Zenzinger to take her seat and keep a onevote majority in the chamber. Sias and Woods are vying to challenge Zenzinger. Nicolais and Sanchez are trying to run against Democratic Sen. Andy Kerr. Zenzinger and Kerr don’t face primaries.

CALIFORNIA MAN DROWNS AFTER FALLING FROM RAFT
Authorities say a 44-year-old California man drowned after falling from a raft on the Roaring Fork River in Aspen. James Paul Sizemore, of Manhattan Beach, California, was one of two people who fell out of the commercial raft Monday afternoon. He was in the water for about five minutes before he was pulled back into the boat. He then said he couldn’t breathe and collapsed unconscious. The Pitkin County Coroner’s Office said late Tuesday that Sizemore died of drowning with a contributing factor of heart disease. Coroner Steve Ayers told The Aspen Daily News earlier that in such cases, rapid body cooling can significantly reduce heart rate and cause arrhythmia. He says it’s unclear how the man fell into the water. The other man who fell into the water got back to the raft and is doing OK. DENVER

Threatened bird leads feds to block some drilling Listing decision due in November By NICHOLAS RICCARDI
D
Associated Press
ENVER (AP) — The federal government this week declared more than 400,000 acres in southwestern Colorado and eastern Utah offlimits to energy exploration or any other kind of development to protect the Gunnison sage grouse, a precursor to a much larger fight over another species of the bird that ranges across 11 Western states. The Bureau of Land Management directive released Monday formalizes protections the government had already implemented to preserve the Gunnison grouse. A decision on whether to list it as an endangered species is due in November. BLM spokesman Steven Hall said that the protected land falls in 800,000 acres that have been identified as the bird’s general range. The Gunnison sage grouse only lives in a small sliver of Colorado and Utah and the estimated 4,500 animals remaining
are about one-tenth of its original population. Because it is so depleted, Hall said, its habitat has to be aggressively protected. A similar species, the greater sage grouse, has more of an impact on the West. The greater grouse, while still below its peak population, is healthier and doesn’t require as stringent onthe-ground development limitations, Hall said. But its range is far bigger, covering 160 million acres in 11 Western states. That land includes many of the areas under oil and gas development as part of the ongoing energy boom. “We don’t see as many conflicts between energy production and habitat protection with the Gunnison sage grouse as we do with the greater sage grouse,” Hall said. A decision on whether to list the greater sage grouse as endangered is due next year. Western states fear that the bird will receive federal protection, inhibiting development and ranching in huge parts of their territory.

ACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A bill that would have made California the first state in the nation to require warning labels on sodas and other sugary drinks was effectively killed Tuesday. Sen. Bill Monning’s SB1000 failed on a 7-8 vote as his fellow Democratic lawmakers doubted whether a label would change consumer behavior. It needed 10 votes to pass. Certain sodas, energy drinks and fruit drinks would have included a label reading, “STATE OF CALIFORNIA SAFETY WARNING: Drinking beverages with added sugar(s) contributes to obesity, diabetes, and tooth decay.” It was developed by public health advocates using cigarette and alcohol warnings as a model. Representatives of the beverage industry argued that the bill was unfair by not applying to other foods and drinks, including lattes and chocolate milk. Monning, of Carmel, says warning labels would be the most efficacious tool for educating people about the dangers of
sugary drinks. “Changing behavior is the hardest challenge in the world of medicine,” Monning told lawmakers before the vote. “But you can’t start to even make a commitment to make behavior change if you don’t have the information.” His bill had support from the California Medical Association, the California Center for Public Health Advocacy and groups devoted to improving the health of minorities. A similar bill introduced in Vermont stalled this year. Democratic Assemblyman Jimmy Gomez noted that cigarette warning labels were accompanied by taxes and prohibitions on smoking in public places before tobacco use plunged. “It wasn’t necessarily the labels that changed peoples’ habits, but it was the other requirements,” said Gomez, who represents Los Angeles. CalBev, the California arm of the American Beverage Association, says it posts calorie counts on the front of many beverage containers as part of a voluntary campaign that started in 2010.

Major symbolic victory for environmentalists By JOSH LEDERMAN

Associated Press
ASHINGTON (AP) — Vowing to protect fragile marine life, President Barack Obama acted Tuesday to create the world’s largest ocean preserve by expanding a national monument his predecessor established in waters thousands of miles from the American mainland. The designation for a remote stretch of the Pacific Ocean marks a major symbolic victory for environmentalists, who have urged the president to take action on his own to protect the planet as Congress turns its focus elsewhere. But the initiative will have limited practical implications because little fishing or drilling are taking place even without the new protections. Protecting the world’s oceans and the vibrant ecosystems that thrive deep under the surface is a task that’s bigger than any one country but the U.S. must take the lead, Obama said, announcing the initiative during an ocean conservation conference. “Let’s make sure that years from now we can look our children in the eye and tell them that, yes, we did our part, we took action, and we led the way
toward a safer, more stable world,” Obama said in a video message. Obama hasn’t settled on the final boundaries for the expanded Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument, and will solicit input from fishermen, scientists and conservation experts. Obama’s senior counselor, John Podesta, said that process would start immediately and wrap up “in the very near future.” President George W. Bush, a Republican, created the monument in 2009 by setting aside waters that encircle an array of remote islands in the south-central Pacific, between Hawaii and American Samoa. Bush’s protections extend about 50 miles from the shore of the U.S.-administered islands, but maritime law gives the U.S. control up to 200 nautical miles from the coast, forming the outer limit of what Obama could protect using the 1906 Antiquities Act. Conservation groups urged Obama to be bold. If Obama opts for the full 200 miles, conservation groups said, he could roughly double the amount of ocean that’s protected worldwide. A geographic analysis by the Pew Charitable Trusts estimated
Obama could protect more than 780,000 square miles — almost nine times what Bush set aside — and far more if he included the waters around other U.S. islands in the Pacific Ocean. “Our oceans are feeling the strain of human activity from increased acidification, overfishing, and pollution, and we need to take bold action to protect this vital natural resource,” said Carol Browner, the former Environmental Protection Agency administrator. But in practical terms, the expanded sanctuary will likely have a modest impact. Very little commercial fishing is conducted around the islands. And Bob Fryklund, chief upstream strategist for analytics agency IHS Energy, said no one is currently exploring for oil or gas in the area. But conservation groups said it’s critical to take proactive steps to safeguard underwater ecosystems even if direct human damage isn’t imminent. “These are fairly long distances from any ports, and they’re very expensive to get to,” said Lance Morgan of the Marine Conservation Institute. “Still, we don’t know what all the future uses are going to be.”

Iraq fights militants as foreigners feared seized Iraqi soldiers abandoning posts in wake of offensive By SAMEER N. YACOUB and QASSIM ABDUL-ZAHRA
B
Associated Press
AGHDAD (AP) — Iraqi security forces battled insurgents targeting the country’s main oil refinery and said it had regained partial control of a city near the Syrian border Wednesday, trying to blunt a weeklong offensive by Sunni militants who diplomats fear may have also abducted some 100 foreign workers. In a televised address to the nation, Prime Minister Nouri alMaliki struck an optimistic tone and vowed to teach the attackers a “lesson” — even though Iraqi soldiers abandoned their posts in the wake of the initial militant offensive. “We have now started our counteroffensive, regaining the initiative and striking back,” alMaliki said. The campaign by the alQaida-inspired Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant has raised the specter of the sectarian warfare that nearly tore the country apart in 2006 and 2007. The relentless violence that followed the 2003 U.S.-led invasion now haunts those trying to decide how to respond. At the White House, President Barack Obama was to brief lawmakers later Wednesday on what options the U.S. could take. The U.S. is pressing al-Maliki to undermine the insurgency by
making overtures to Iraq’s oncedominant Sunni minority, which has long complained of discrimination by al-Maliki’s government and excesses by his Shiite-led security forces. Al-Maliki, a Shiite, has consistently rejected charges of bias against the Sunnis and has in recent days been stressing the notion that the threat posed by the Islamic State will affect all Iraqis regardless of their ethnic or religious affiliations. He appeared Tuesday night on television with Sunni leaders and politicians as a sign of solidarity. The prime minister’s relatively upbeat assessment came as the Iraqi military said its forces regained parts of the strategic city of Tal Afar near the Syrian border, which Islamic State fighters captured on Monday. Its closeness to the Syrian border strengthens the Islamic State’s plan to carve out an Islamic caliphate, or state, stretching across parts of the two countries. It also came hours after the chief military spokesman, Lt. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi, said government forces repelled an attack by militants on the country’s largest oil refinery at Beiji, some 250 kilometers (155 miles) north of the capital, Baghdad. Al-Moussawi said 40 attackers were killed in fighting there overnight and early Wednesday.

County Sheriff’s Office. San Juan Vista Road is located off of Last Dollar Road on Hastings Mesa several miles northeast of Placerville. Bennett said the fire was started by a property owner and it was not called into the sheriff’s office beforehand, but he said the matter is under investigation. While no structures were
damaged, if the fire had grown larger there could have been damages. “I believe we had potential for structure damage, but I don’t believe we had any damage,” Bennett said. Crews will also be doing checks of the area over the next few days to make sure the fire is completely out. Bennett said the district and the sheriff’s office request that anyone planning to do a controlled burn call it into the sheriff at 728-1911 beforehand. He
said they have up-to-date weather information and will give permission for fires based on the weather outlook. If a fire is not called in and it gets out of control, whoever started it could be liable for any damages it causes and the costs to fight it. San Juan Vista Road is a relatively remote area and in April a three-story house by the road burned to the ground. The house was unoccupied, but due to high snow levels at the time, it was difficult for fire crews to reach.

And she knows festivals after extensive touring with Nickel Creek and her own tours with the Decembrists and with her solo project. To Watkins, Telluride is a larger festival, but it still feels small because there is only one main stage (compared with such festivals as Bonnaroo that have multiple stages). “There’s this shared experience knowing that most of the people are there to see everything,” she said. “As a performer that makes the musical community backstage a lot tighter.”

The monies will fund the rehabilitation of Norwood Pipeline, which will greatly benefit Norwood. “It’s over 600 feet of pipe.

Excellent care is about access DEAR EDITOR, I have been involved in emergency medical response for 38 years and on the board of two hospitals. It has come to my attention that there’s been suggested a new location for our medical center in Lawson Hill or Mountain Village. They’ve got to be kidding. From experience, excellent urgent medical care is all about medical access and patient care. The patient base is primarily the town of Telluride, and a mother with a child running 103 fever should not have to wait for a
gondola or the Galloping Goose. Since our community has a substantial number of young mothers and seniors, do we make their medical access difficult? I do not think so. We did not locate our worldclass library at Society Turn or our wonderful post office in some remote area, why our terrific medical center? Our residents and visitors should not have to reach for excellent medical access. Telluride has a fabulous opportunity to make our community more desirable by establishing the most outstanding medical center in the Rockies. Great PR.
There is absolutely no deal that could possibly warrant making medical access difficult for Telluride residents or visitors. The Telluride Town Council was elected to serve the people and locating a new medical center in Mountain Village or Lawson Hill does not serve the people. A great medical center is firstly about great medicine and not money. If we are going to do something, do it right or don’t do it. Let’s not look back and say, “We wish we had.” Thanks for reading.

PROSECUTOR DETAILS 14 KILLINGS IN BLACKWATER TRIAL
WASHINGTON (AP) — In a recitation of death and destruction, a federal prosecutor on Tuesday chronicled for a jury the alleged conduct of four Blackwater security guards accused of killing 14 Iraqis and wounding 18 others in downtown Baghdad nearly seven years ago. In opening statements at the trial of the four guards, Assistant U.S. Attorney T. Patrick Martin said some of the victims were “simply trying to get out” of the way of gunfire from Blackwater guards. “Fourteen died, 18 injured. For what?” he said. One component of the prosecutors’ case is that the Blackwater guards harbored deep hostility toward Iraqis and boasted of indiscriminate firing of their weapons.

AP Business Writer
OS ANGELES (AP) — YouTube will launch a new subscription music service, the company acknowledged Tuesday after being dragged into a public dispute over royalties that will result in the blockade of some independent artists’ music videos. The Google Inc.-owned video site said in a statement that it is “adding subscription-based features for music on YouTube” and that “hundreds of major label and independent artists” have signed on. The paid service — to be launched within a few months — will likely allow playback of videos without ads and allow for offline playback on mobile devices. That’s according to two people familiar with the matter. The people weren’t authorized to speak publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. The people also confirmed that a small number of independent artists who had not agreed to new deal terms will have their videos blocked in some countries starting in a few days, even on the free version of YouTube.
YouTube will block the music videos so users of the test version won’t be confused about which content they can access for free and which features require payment, the people said. Allowing free streams of music by certain artists while not offering them on the paid service would erode the value of the paid plan, one person said. The move also adds pressure on those labels to sign, because not being on YouTube altogether will result in less advertising revenue and exposure. YouTube has reached deals with all three major music labels — Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, and Warner Music Group — and many independent labels as a whole representing about 95 percent of all labels, the people said. Determining which artists are blocked —and where— could be confusing because some indie artists have their music distributed in certain countries by the major labels. Singer Adele, for instance, is signed with Beggars Group’s XL Recordings in the U.K., but Sony Music’s Columbia label distributes her music in the U.S.

EW YORK (AP) — The energy world is not keeping up with Elon Musk, so he’s trying to take matters into his own hands. Musk, chairman of the solar installer SolarCity, announced Tuesday that the company would acquire a solar panel maker and build factories “an order of magnitude” bigger than the plants that currently churn out panels. “If we don’t do this we felt there was a risk of not being able to have the solar panels we need to expand the business in the long term,” Musk said Tuesday in a conference call. Musk is also a founder and the CEO of the electric vehicle maker Tesla Motors, which is planning what it calls a “gigafactory” to supply batteries for its cars. In both cases, Musk’s goal is to make sure that the components critical to his vision of the future — electric cars and solar energy — are available and cheap enough to beat fossil fuels. Musk’s future customers could ignore traditional energy companies completely. They would have SolarCity panels on their roof that would generate

It’s a far-off vision — solar power is still much more expensive than conventional power, even before the enormous cost of a battery backup. And electric cars are less than 1 percent of the total auto market. But Musk has made a career of thinking far into the future. He is also the
CEO of SpaceX, the rocket company with an ultimate goal of enabling people to live on other planets. SolarCity, based in San Mateo, California, is one of the nation’s largest installers of rooftop solar systems. It was founded and is now run by Musk’s cousins, CEO Lyndon Rive and Chief Technology Officer Peter Rive.

HERNANDEZ LAWYERS WANT SUBPOENA OF PATRIOT RECORDS
Aaron Hernandez’s attorneys asked a judge on Tuesday to approve their subpoena to the New England Patriots for the team’s medical, psychological and other records on the former player. Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the June 2013 shooting death of Odin Lloyd, whose body was found in North Attleboro near Hernandez’s home. On Monday, a Bristol Superior Court judge set a July deadline for the team to respond to the defense’s earlier requests for the 2010-2013 records. But in a motion filed Tuesday, Hernandez’s attorneys said the records are potentially relevant to his circumstances and state of mind, and asked to have them within 30 days. A Patriots spokesman declined to comment Tuesday.

AO PAULO (AP) — After arriving back at their rooms at 4:45 a.m., victorious American players skipped breakfast Tuesday, slept late, went for medical tests and turned their attention to Portugal. The U.S. opened the World Cup with a thrilling 2-1 win over nemesis Ghana on John Brooks’ 86th-minute goal. But Jozy Altidore, Clint Dempsey, Matt Besler and Alejandro Bedoya all got hurt to various degrees. Altidore, taken off on a stretcher after straining his left hamstring, appears unlikely to play against the Portuguese this weekend. “We’ve got to see how he now reacts the next couple days,” U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. “We’re full of hope that he comes back still in this tournament.” Players hope to become the first American team to win consecutive World Cup games since a 2-0 start at the very first tournament in 1930. “Woke up today, this morning, and you look at your Instagram and Twitter and you see the videos that people posted,” Bedoya said of fans back home celebrat-
ing Brooks’ goal. “It’s really cool, and I’m sure everybody feeds off this energy.” The match drew 11.09 million viewers on ESPN, a record for men’s soccer on the network. And after decades when U.S. soccer fans felt outnumbered — even at home games — players took notice of the raucous red, white and blue-clad crowd at Arena das Dunas in Natal. “It was an incredible feeling, the support we had from the fans in the stadium along with the fans in every part of the country. We felt that,” said midfielder Graham Zusi, whose corner kick was headed in by Brooks. “It just makes me want more of it.” But before the next game, the U.S. needs to heal a little. Dempsey, who set the tone when he scored 30 seconds in, had his nose broken by a shin to the face from defender John Boye when they battled for a header. Klinsmann expects him to play Sunday in the Amazon rain forest capital of Manaus. “I don’t know how much a mask can protect him,” Klinsmann said. “It was tricky during the game. He barely could breathe.”

Ex Bears QB Jim McMahon opens up about dementia Believes problems were brought on by the beating he absorbed playing football By ANDREW SELIGMAN
C
AP Sports Writer
HICAGO (AP) — Jim McMahon would leave home and forget how to get back. Sometimes, he would stay in his room and lie on his back in the dark because the pain in his head was so excruciating. At his darkest moments a few years ago, when it was just about too much to handle, the former Chicago Bears quarterback thought about killing himself. “I am glad I don’t have any weapons in my house or else I am pretty sure I wouldn’t be here,” McMahon said. “It got to be that bad.” McMahon opened up about his struggles with early onset dementia and depression in a gathering with a small group of reporters on Tuesday, issues he believes were brought on by the beating he absorbed playing football. He is scheduled to be honored Wednesday in Chicago by the Sports Legacy Institute, a Boston University-based group that has been studying the effects of brain trauma in athletes and others. While his suicidal thoughts are a thing of the past thanks to treatment that drains spinal fluid from his brain, the fight with dementia continues. The “punky QB” who once helped the Bears shuffle their way to a championship is also digging in for another battle, one that could have major consequences for the NFL.
McMahon is one of several players identified by name in a federal lawsuit filed in California last month accusing teams of illegally dispensing powerful narcotics and other drugs to keep players on the field without regard for their long-term health. He also is part of a class-action lawsuit in which the NFL agreed to a $765 million settlement without acknowledging it hid the risks of concussions from former players. A federal judge has yet to approve the settlement, expressing concern the amount is too small. While McMahon wouldn’t discuss the most recent suit, he did talk about the troubles he has faced in recent years, issues he believes took root when he was getting battered on the field. McMahon said he had three to five diagnosed concussions and who knows how many more that went undiagnosed. That’s in addition injuries to the kidney, broken ribs, an addiction to painkillers and a broken neck that he said team doctors and trainers never told him about. He found out about five years ago, when he went for X-rays and an MRI. Doctors told him he had broken his neck at some point, and McMahon believes it happened with the Minnesota Vikings during the 1993 season, when he got sandwiched by two Giants defenders in a playoff game at New York.

Limited-edition book BOOK, from page 28
ily by longtime festival Master of Ceremonies Pastor Mustard (Dan Sadowsky) the book is a wonderful tribute to all things Bluegrass. Sadowsky has taken the Hunter S. Thompson writing approach to his narration of the book and his unique voice adds color and depth to the stories to make it more than your average coffee table book. Planet Bluegrass’ Steve Szymanski and Brian Eyster oversaw the project and gathered essays from musicians such as Sam Bush, Chris Thile, Bela Fleck, Sara Watkins, Winston Marshall (of Mumford and Sons) and longtime friends of the festival such as Marikay Shellman (the late Fred Shellman’s wife), Dave Lamb, Kooster McAllister and Jane Dunham. Their first-hand accounts and memories of the festival are joined by stunning photos of musicians on stage, antics backstage and crowd shots that show how much TBF has morphed and grown over the years. “It had to be done for deep historical reasons,” Eyster said. “It’s a gift for the artists and festivarians and everyone who has poured their lives into this festival.” “You can find all your favorite artists and great stories on how this thing came to be,” Szymanski said. “It really shows the magic of how this festival came

‘Transformers: Age of Extinction’ screened as fundraiser for the Palm Theatre on July 3
B
uckle up as “Transformers: Age of Extinction” is making its way to Telluride. As a fundraiser for the Michael D. Palm Theatre, Telluride Film Festival has secured this brand new film to open at the Palm, for one night only, on Thursday, July 3 with a screening time of 7 p.m. Telluride Film Festival provides one to two new releases to the Palm Theatre each year, and the monies raised are used to maintain the state of the art projection componentry in the theater, ensuring an exceptional experience for all film attendees. This newest Transformers science fiction action film is based on the Transformers franchise
and is the fourth installment in the series. A sequel to “Transformers: Dark of the Moon,” the film takes place four years after the invasion of Chicago. As humanity picks up the pieces, following the conclusion of “Transformers: Dark of the Moon,” Autobots and Decepticons have all but vanished from the face of the planet. However, a group of powerful, ingenious businessman and scientists attempt to learn from past Transformer incursions and push the boundaries of technology beyond what they can control — all while an ancient, powerful Transformer menace sets Earth in his crosshairs. “Transformers: Age of Extinc-
tion” features an entirely new cast of human characters, with Mark Wahlberg in the lead role, and is the first film to feature the Dinobots. Joining Wahlberg are Nicola Peltz and Jack Reynor. Returning Transformers include Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Ratchet and Brains. The film, rated PG-13 and 166 minutes long, is directed by Michael Bay and executive produced by Steven Spielberg.

Picasso painting reveals hidden man Not unusual to reuse canvas 217 W. Colorado Ave, Main Street
(970) 728-4620
By BRETT ZONGKER

Associated Press
ASHINGTON (AP) — For Pablo Picasso, 1901 was a pivotal time to experiment and find his own unique style. At just 19 years old, he was living in Paris, painting furiously and dirt poor, so it wasn’t unusual for him to take one canvas and reuse it to paint a fresh idea. Now scientists and art experts are revealing they’ve found a hidden painting beneath the surface of one of Picasso’s first masterpieces, “The Blue Room.” Using advances in infrared imagery, they have uncovered a hidden portrait of a bow-tied man with his face resting on his hand. Now the question that conservators at The Phillips Collection in Washington hope to answer is simply: Who is he? It’s a mystery that’s fueling new research about the painting created early in Picasso’s career while he was working in Paris at the start of his distinctive blue period of melancholy subjects. Curators and conservators revealed the discovery of the portrait for the first time to The Associated Press last week.

“When he had an idea, you know, he just had to get it down and realize it,” Phillips curator Susan Behrends Frank told the AP, describing how Picasso had hurriedly painted “The Blue Room” over another complete picture. “He could not afford to acquire new canvases every time he had an idea that he wanted to pursue. He worked sometimes on
cardboard because canvas was so much more expensive.” Experts long suspected there might be something under the surface of “The Blue Room,” which has been part of The Phillips Collection since 1927. Brushstrokes on the piece clearly don’t match the composition that depicts a woman bathing in Picasso’s studio.

ARTIST BACCA CREATES WINE-RELATED ART Work is inspired by love of wine
T
his year’s Telluride Wine Festival artist, Natasha Bacca, has been creating wine-themed artwork for several years. In this short time, she has managed to exhibit the series around the country, and it has been featured internationally. Bacca’s family name means berry in Italian, and forms the root of Bacchus, the Roman god of wine. In line with her heritage, Bacca creates wine-related artworks. She says her work is inspired by her love of wine. She encapsulates wineglasses and wine bottles on light-sensitive paper in a darkroom. She does so by using only LED-pens of her own creation, a process for which she was granted a U.S. patent. A unique approach to the production of photographic art, she does not document an existing image but rather, like a painter, generates an original one. Manipulating color, intensity and direction of light, she literally paints with light. The results are an intriguing illustration of vivid, fanciful still life images. Collectors of Bacca’s wine series include The Conrad Hilton in Dubai, Fair View Lodge at Mesa Verde National Park, Naked Winery in Oregon and numerous private collectors. In April, Wine Enthusiast Magazine featured Bacca’s wine art as their Crush, and deemed it “wall-worthy for any oenophile.” The following month the Italian magazine, Wine Pass, featured Bacca’s series in an article on “wine as inspiration” and detailed how she began the series. With her wine series expanding in features and collectors, Bacca said, “I have plenty of inspiration to continue developing the series. I am working with several new techniques as well as combining more elements into the wine pieces.” Most recently, Bacca was commissioned by the Telluride Wine Festival to create the artwork for this year’s promotional materials. She will be in Telluride later this month promoting her wine series and signing festival posters. In addition to seeing Bacca’s artwork on Wine Festival posters around town, you can see it at Arroyo Wine Bar and Art GalSee ART, Page 24

40 years of festivation
ROCKWELL KENT: THE NATURAL WORLD
Bluegrass celebrates four decades with limited-edition book By KATHRINE WARREN
“W
Planet Contributor
e didn’t know what was involved in putting on a festival, and neither did the town. By not knowing what to do, it actually made it possible, because we didn’t realize things like you’re supposed to have money to pay the bands before you hire them. If we had known, it never would have happened. We just sort of did it the Telluride way.” — Kooster McAllister, Fall Creek Band Member and founding father of Telluride Bluegrass Festival Last year the folks at Planet Bluegrass celebrated a monumental milestone with the Tel-
luride Bluegrass Festival’s 40th anniversary and musicians, organizers and fans alike reminisced about the early days of the festival that were so grassroots, it’s hard to believe it when you see the well-oiled machine it is today. But they waited for year 41 to commemorate this huge milestone in print since it was only natural to include every single year of the past four decades that have made TBF what it is. After more than a year of gathering photos and stories from friends of the festival, the fruit of their labor is available for sale on Thursday with the release of “Telluride Bluegrass Festival: 40 Years of Festivation,” a limitededition collector’s coffee table book.
The book will be sold at the Country Store inside the festival for $50 or online for $60 (which includes shipping online). Only 5,000 copies of the book have been printed and will be available while supplies last. The elegantly hardbound 216-page book is bursting with amazing (and hilarious) stories, photos many have never seen before and each year’s lineup and poster artwork. Written primarSee BOOK, Page 23
