An Ignacio Junior High School student sits in the back of an ambulance Monday waiting to be taken to Mercy Regional Medical Center. Noxious odors forced the evacuation of the school and sent more than 25 students to the hospital with nonlife-threatening injuries. An Ignacio Junior High School student on oxygen awaits transportation to Mercy Regional Medical Center. The gaseous odors that seeped into an eighth-grade science classroom were traced to a backup in a sewer line.

IGNACIO – Thirty Ignacio Junior High students suffering from headaches or nausea were taken to local hospitals Monday morning after a backed-up sewer line caused nonexplosive but overwhelmingly pungent gases to flow into an eighthgrade science classroom. Authorities were alerted by the school at 11:27 a.m., and multiple agencies responded, including the Upper Pine River Fire Protection District, Los Pinos Fire Protection District and Durango Fire & Rescue Authority. Testing showed gas levels were well below the threshold of being

DENVER – Gov. John Hickenlooper signed into law a $1 billion expansion of health care for the poor Monday. An estimated 189,000 Coloradans will get government health insurance – known as Medicaid – thanks to the bill. The expansion was one of the highest priorities for Democrats, and is a key piece of implementing President Barack Obama’s healthcare law in Colorado. “This is going to Hickenlooper support working Coloradans and improve economic security for individuals and families and ultimately even for businesses,” Hickenlooper said. “The bottom line is it keeps our businesses going and makes sure that our employees at so many of our businesses, when they’re hurt, when they suffer and illness or an accident at home, we make sure they have the medical attention that they need.” Hospitals and doctors’ groups

Firearm suicides far Coram punches above weight outnumber homicides Minority party state

COLORADO PUBLIC NEWS
Coloradans are four times more likely to die of suicide by gun than homicide by gun. “There’s far greater likelihood that a gun in the home will be used to kill somebody in the home, despite the perception ... that you need guns for protection,” said Dr. Carol Runyan, a public-health professor at the University of Colorado. According to the state health department, Colorado recorded 571 firearms-related deaths in 2011. Of those, 442 were from suicide. Another 105 were homicides. The remaining 11 were ruled as accidents. “The vast majority of homicides are by people who know you. They’re not by strangers,” Runyan said. “And, horrific as the incidents were in Columbine, in the Aurora theater shooting, in Newtown, Conn. – those are extremely rare.” When public-health professionals focus on gun violence, they look for strategies that will reduce the highest number of deaths. That’s why they are more concerned with suicide, ac-

DENVER – For state Rep. Don Coram, 2013 was a paradoxical year in the Legislature – a personal success, but a disaster for his party. The Montrose Republican, whose district includes Montezuma County, passed bills on forest health and hemp regulation, among others. His party saw defeats on renewable-energy mandates, elections reform and guns. “For rural Colorado, I don’t think it was a good year,” Coram said. But Coram finished the annual session, which wrapped up last Wednesday, with a 9-6 record on his own legislation, despite being in the minority. “Personally, I had a great year. I passed a lot of legislation this year,” Coram said. He was far less successful when he helped lead the debate for Republicans against a mandate for

Colorado Parks and Wildlife wants to organize a cadre of volunteers to alert folks about what a potentially active bear season means for homeowners. An initial orientation session is scheduled from 6 to 8 p.m. May 22 at the agency’s wildlife museum at the ďŹ sh hatchery, 155 E. 16th St. Further information is available from Leland Flores at 247-0855 or at Leland.ores@state.co.us. Follow-up meetings are anticipated as teams form and decide how best to spread information about bold bears that invade
urban areas in search of food. Ambassadors who go door-to-door with literature and answers to questions is one possible approach, agency Joe Lewandowski said Monday. Volunteers also could staff a booth at public events or make public presentations, Lewandowski said. “Dry conditions limit the natural food available to bears,� Lewandowski said. “We are cautioning residents that bear activity in residential areas may be high this year.� Steve McClung, district wildlife manager for Parks and Wildlife in the western side of Durango, said agency volunteers have worked
out well in other parts of the state. “We organized a group last year, but (bear) things got too busy,� McClung said. “We weren’t able to utilize them as well as we had anticipated.� It’s easy to find human fo o d b e c a u s e p e o p l e d o n ’ t s e c u r e w a s t e, Lewandowski said. Garbage, pet food, livestock food, barbecue grills, bird feeders, compost piles, chicken pens and fruit trees are easy pickings, he said. Bears are smart, Lewandowski said. They remember where they found food and return time and again. A mother bear teaches her cubs and can become
territorial to the point of defending her bonanza against intruders, including people. The easiest way to defuse an annoying and potentially dangerous situation is to make food unavailable to ursines, Lewandowski said. He made several recommendations: Get a bear-resistant garbage can; clean cans to eliminate odors; lock up pet food; suspend bird feeders out of reach of bears; secure compost piles and chicken coops; and keep ground-floor windows and garage doors closed. daler@durangoherald.com

were left without electricity at 12:40 p.m. “It was slow going because the lines are underg round instead of overhead,� spokeswoman Indiana Reed said. “But the cause was a fault in the wiring.� Crews methodically isolated sections of the line looking for the problem, Reed said. If no glitch was
found, power was restored to the area, she said. Electricity can be restored section by section if a line has “redundancy,� meaning power is available from both ends of the line, she said. The majority of Durango neighborhoods have redundancy, Reed said. Unincorporated areas are a different story.
All but 265 customers had power again by 2:30 p.m., Reed said. Only 156 were without power by 4:15 p.m., and the ďŹ nal 50 customers could turn on the lights at about 8:30 p.m. At the time of the outage, all the crews knew was that something tripped the system, she said. daler@durangoherald.com

Durango High School grad sings for Slovenia Long before “American Idol,” European countries began competing in a musical Olympics, with each vying for the title of Eurovision Song of the Year. This year, Durango will be represented in the competition. Hannah Mancini, who grew up here, will be on the stage singing Slovenia’s entry in the 39-country sing-off.
Mancini has been living in Slovenia for the last six years since marrying a Slovenian, and her career has taken off, with magazine covers, radio hits and now, this, considered quite an honor in Europe. Her parents, Durangoans Bill Ball and Kate Errett, said she grew up performing at Durango High School in the late 1980s and
early 1990s under the direction of Mona Wood-Patterson and Jill Langoni. Mancini is scheduled to sing third in today’s semifinal in Malmö, Sweden, which will air live at 1 p.m. on Eurovision013TV, available on the Eurovision website.

federal taxes breweries pay per barrel. Ska currently pays $7 a barrel in federal taxes, but that rate would be reduced to $3.50 a barrel under the new legislation. If the tax were reduced, Ska would hire about two more employees, Thibodeau said. “We would immediately reinvest that money in more people,” he said. “We’re one of the most highly regulated and taxed industries.” Colorado’s craft brewers contribute about $446 million to the economy each year, according to a University of Colorado study. “Craft beer is huge in terms of job creation,” Tipton said. Business that grow such as Ska “speak to what we as Americans do. We innovate and create,” he said. Ska Brewing also distributes products from Left Hand Brewing Co. and Stone Brewing Co., among others, because of a Colorado law that allows breweries to self-distribute and distribute other beer. “Everyone in the craft-brewing world seems to get along,” Thibodeau said. In true Colorado fashion, Tipton left with a six-pack each of Ska’s Steele Toe Stout, Pinstripe Red Ale and True Blonde Ale.

Some answers to FAQs on Herald’s online metered access I’m very much enjoying the give and take that has occurred since we announced Sunday that we are moving our newspaper and website to an all-access model in which subscribers have full access to the news in all formats, and nonsubscribing website readers will be asked to subscribe after seeing a set number of articles. A number of questions have arisen, and rightly so because readers have yet to see for themselves how the plan will roll out. The launch of the new model will occur Wednesday. Here are a few clarifications and answers for those still wondering how Ken work: Admundson it will 1. Classified advertising, and all advertising for that matter, will remain visible to website visitors whether they subscribe or not. 2. Advertisers will not lose visibility to
their ads because website ads, with a few exceptions, are sold on a cost per thousand views basis. So if an advertiser buys 20,000 views, they’ll get 20,000 views. Our Web analytics for durangoherald.com show more than 3 million page views each month, well in excess of newspapers in larger communities. 3. The e-edition, or e-Herald, as we’ve called it, is a page-for-page replica of the newspaper. It is designed for the person who likes the traditional newspaper format but wants accessibility when away from home or does not want delivery of the printed newspaper. The website is not a replica of the printed newspaper. The website, before this change, did not include all the printed content, but it did include content not possible to print – videos for example. Nonsubscribers do not have access to the e-Herald or the new apps for Apple and Android devices. During the next few days, passwords for the e-Herald and for the new paid access to the website will be the same, but they aren’t today.

the rate will be about $2 more per month. Rates for digital-only subscribers will be less than print/digital bundle subscribers because we don’t have to physically deliver a newspaper to the household.

Co-op members have chosen a course change for La Plata Electric Association ny question as to what direction La Plata Electric Association is headed were laid to rest Saturday with the results of this year’s board election. Alternative-energy sources and conservation are where things are headed. The co-op’s membership has made that clear. LPEA provides electricity primarily for La Plata and Archuleta counties. Every year, four of the 12 seats on the association’s board of directors go before the voters, co-op members made up of everyone who gets an electric bill. This year, Tom Compton was unopposed and thus re-elected. He is one of the board members from District 2, representing southern and western La Plata County. In every one of the three contested races members chose avowedly green candidates. In a tight race in District 1, Archuleta County and slices of Mineral and Hinsdale counties, the voters picked Mark Garcia over incumbent Lindon Stewart. In District 4, northern and eastern La Plata County, Jack D. Turner narrowly defeated Herb Brodsky. Brodsky served as an LPEA board member for 21 years before losing his seat last year to Heather Erb. He was then appointed to ďŹ ll out the term of Pam Patton, who left to serve on the state’s Public Utilities Commission. In the most dramatic contest, Michael Rendon beat Alan Yoder by more than 2-1 for the District 3 seat representing the city of Durango. In fairness, Rendon started out with great name recognition, having worked at Fort Lewis College, served on the Durango City Council and headed up the Sexual Assault Services Organization.

Nonetheless, his win was still was the most telling result in that the visions espoused by Rendon and Yoder for the future of LPEA offered the clearest choice of any of the races. There was no doubt where either man would take LPEA and no doubt which direction District 3 voters chose. Rendon, Garcia and Turner all campaigned as supporters of alternative energy and conservation. And, in that, they join Erb and Britt Bassett, elected last year, and Jeff Berman, who has been on the board since 2005. That means fully half the board’s members are now self-proclaimed backers of moving more and more quickly toward renewable energy. None of this is to suggest that the other six are all anti-clean energy. They are not; nor are they uniform in their thinking or approach. The just re-elected Compton exempliďŹ es the board’s diversity. A rancher, he is also a former college professor who holds a doctorate in zoology. He also serves on the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission and the board of the La Plata Open Space Conservancy. That no “greenerâ€? candidate challenged him says something as well. Nonetheless, the results of this year’s election and last year’s – together with Berman – do represent a change. It is neither a reversal nor a radical departure from the past. LPEA’s mission still begins with keeping the lights on and rates in line. And the fundamental economics of electricity do not change with one vote. But the shift these elections represent should mean an increased emphasis on renewable energy, as well as local and more diverse energy sources. That, after all, is how LPEA’s members voted.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Common sense and gun rights can coexist The Second Amendment was put into the Constitution speciďŹ cally to allow states to maintain armed militias. For more than 200 years, the Supreme Court upheld this interpretation. In the 2008 Heller decision, the court ruled for the first time that the Second Amendment applied to an individual’s right to bear arms. However, even this conservative court stated in its decision that the Second Amendment should not be misunderstood as conferring “a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever, for any purpose.â€? In this decision, the court speciďŹ cally found that conditions on the commercial sales of firearms were lawful. The court also asserted that the Second Amendment is consistent with laws banning weapons that are “dangerous and unusual.â€? As Colorado’s solicitor general, Mike McLachlan has argued before the U.S. Supreme Court. So it’s probably fair to say that he has more than a basic grasp of constitutional law. The same, unfortunately, can’t be said of those who are still pushing this absurd recall. McLachlan has never
“liedâ€? or “changed his positionâ€? regarding the Second Amendment. It is possible to be “pro-gunâ€? and still support some common-sense gun restrictions. Even Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia has admitted that the Second Amendment does not grant unlimited rights. Don’t let the NRA propaganda machine control this debate. McLachlan’s votes for Colorado’s new gun laws are not inconsistent with his campaign rhetoric or with the Second Amendment. Nobody could have predicted the Newtown, Conn., shootings before the last election. That event has dramatically galvanized public and political pressure to reform the current gun laws. McLachlan’s votes were cast in this light and were in no way politically dishonest. Why is it when conservative legislators (Eric Cantor, et al) ip-op on issues such as immigration reform, they are “evolving,â€? while McLachlan is a “liarâ€? and a “traitorâ€? for simply responding to a changing political and cultural landscape?

Stop harming the Earth for convenience I support the proposed plastic bag regulations. A couple of personal anecdotes underline the importance of the issue to us. We were in Oahu several weeks ago, quite a distance off the coast doing the archetypical “dolphin swim� (lots of fun). My little boy pointed out a sea turtle and said “Look, it’s eating, Daddy�. We looked closer and, yes, it was: a plastic bag. The photographer swam over and managed to disentangle the turtle. We read that a lot of cities instituting bans are near the sea (and that locales far from the ocean were citing that as a reason not to do so here). I mentioned that “fact� to my 9-year-old, driving home from Pagosa to Durango last Sunday. So he began to count the plastic bags hung up on trees,
bushes, and fences on his side of the road as we drove. He ďŹ nally got bored at a count of 83 and so we didn’t get close to a full tally. That was about a 10-minute stretch. We support the plastic bag ban as do most folks we know. I know there are many who don’t. But, at age 53, the one thing I always say about this to them is this: “When I was a kid, we didn’t even have plastic bags and we somehow – under terrible duress and suffering – managed to survive.â€? Come on, folks, for goodness sake! How soft and spoiled have we gotten? Screw up the Earth just for a bit of convenience? We can do better, friends. Gregor Gardner Durango
Tea party taxes focus of country’s latest ‘Brown Scare’ As a taxpayer and a conservative who hopes to remain on good terms with the Internal Revenue Service for many April 15ths to come, I don’t want to speculate too freely about the motives of the “low level� IRS employees who decided to single out tea party groups for an inappropriate level of attention during the heat of the 2012 campaign.
But I’m willing to guess this much: Even though an American Civil Liberties Union ofďŹ cial described their excessive interest in right-wing groups as “about as constitutionally troubling as it gets,â€? the bureaucrats in question probably Ross thought they were just doDouthat ing their patriotic duty and giving dangerous extremists the treatment they deserved. Where might an enterprising, publicspirited IRS agent get the idea that a tea party group deserved more scrutiny from the government than the typical band of activists seeking tax-exempt status? Oh, I don’t know: why, maybe from all the prominent voices who spent the ďŹ rst two years of the Obama era worrying that the tea party wasn’t just a typically messy expression of citizen activism, but something much darker – an expression
of crypto-fascist, crypto-racist rage, part Timothy McVeigh and part Bull Connor, potentially carrying a wave of terrorist violence in its wings. The historical term for this kind of anxiety is “Brown Scareâ€? – an inordinate fear of a vast far-right conspiracy, which resembles the anti-Communist panics of our past. As the historian Philip Jenkins wrote in 2009, Brown Scares no less than Red Scares recur throughout U.S. history. They fasten on real-enough phenomena, from homegrown fascist sympathizers in the 1930s to the militia movements in the 1990s, but then wildly exaggerate the danger these extremists pose and their ties to the conservative mainstream. In the ’30s, Jenkins noted, this mentality inspired the persistent media-fed fear that “the U.S. was about to be overwhelmed by ultra-Right ďŹ fth columnists, millions strong, intimately allied with the Axis powers.â€? In the ’60s, it persuaded many liberals that Dallas’ right-wing fever was somehow responsible for John F. Kennedy’s assassination even though the president’s actual assassin was a communist sympathizer. After the Oklahoma City bombing, it led many people to tar the entire militia movement as terrorist, not just extremist, and then to conate the militias (this was one of Bill Clinton’s defter moves) with the mainstream small-government right. Our own era’s Brown Scare followed a similar pattern. Early in President Barack Obama’s ďŹ rst term, a Department of Homeland Security report predicted an increase in right-wing extremism, citing real
... Brown Scares no less than Red Scares recur throughout U.S. history. They fasten on real-enough phenomena, from homegrown fascist sympathizers in the 1930s to the militia movements in the 1990s. threats, but also employing “a deďŹ nition of extremist so broad,â€? Reason magazine’s Jesse Walker noted, that “it seemed to include anyone who opposed abortion or immigration or excessive federal power.â€? As the tea party movement gathered steam, liberals consistently echoed the DHS report’s themes, warning that the movement’s fringier elements and often-overheated rhetoric, which were real enough, and worth criticizing, were laying the groundwork for a wave of far-right violence. Invoking JFK’s assassination and Oklahoma City, these critics then leapt to connect the dots every time a kook pulled a gun or set off a bomb somewhere – whether it was a lone neo-Nazi shooting a guard at the Holocaust museum in Washington, the apparent murder – ultimately ruled a suicide – of a census worker in rural Kentucky, or even the failed Times Square bombing, which turned out to be the work of a would-be jihadist, but not before Michael Bloomberg had suggested that it might be “someone with a political agenda that doesn’t like the health-care
bill or something�). The dots-connecting peaked, of course, with the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords, which was instantly deemed a case of rightwing incitement leading to political violence, with the blame going to Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck and conservatism in general. When none of this turned out to be true, however – the shooter was not really a political actor at all, just a mentally ill lost soul with no connection to partisan politics – the scare began a slow retreat. The tea party had won its midterm victory, and as the movement’s ardor cooled and its inuence diminished, the fears of its critics began to diminish as well. With Beck off Fox and the tea partyers off the streets – replaced by Occupy Wall Street and union protesters, often shouting nonetoo-moderate slogans of their own – it became harder to look at American conservatism and see Brownshirts or grand wizards on the march. Moods and prejudices linger even after panics recede. The IRS and the conservative movement have never been on the best of terms, and perhaps the recent abuses just reect that longstanding tension. Yet I suspect that it’s more than that, and that this episode will be remembered as one of the last embarrassments produced by our era’s Brown Scare.

BOISE, Idaho – After another dry winter across much of the West, fire officials are poised for a tough wildfire season that will be even more challenging because federal budget cuts mean fewer firefighters on the ground, Interior Secretary Sally Jewell said Monday. Jewell, who is just five weeks into her new job, said automatic budget cuts mandated by Congress will force fire managers to make choices as they prioritize resources. They also will have fewer resources to use on strategies designed to reduce future fire potential, such as prescribed burns and reseeding. “We will fight the fires and we will do them safely,”
The U.S. Forest Service alone will hire 500 fewer firefighters and deploy 50 fewer engines this season. Jewell said. “But the resources will go to suppression, which is not ideal. What you’re not doing is putting the resources in place to thoughtfully manage the landscape for the future.” Jewell spent the last two days touring the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, the government’s national, wildfire nerve center. She was joined by U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, who said the U.S. Forest Service alone will hire 500 fewer firefighters
and deploy 50 fewer engines this season. “We are going to be faced with a difficult fire season,” Vilsack said. “The bottom line is we’re going to do everything we can to be prepared. But folks need to understand ... our resources are limited and our budgets are obviously constrained. We will do the best job we possibly can with the resources we have.” Congress cut the current budgets for the Forest Service and Agriculture Department 5 percent under the mandated spending reductions, then added another 2.5 percent cut for fiscal 2013. Other federal agencies that battle blazes also anticipate hiring fewer people to fight fires, including the Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service and Fish and Wildlife Service.

3 crises challenge Obama IRS, Benghazi and inquiry about telephone records test the president BY AAMER MADHANI USA TODAY
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama found himself in the unusual position on Monday of echoing GOP outrage about revelations that the Internal Revenue Service targeted tea party groups, while slamming his adversaries for creating “a sideshow� for reviving a the imbroglio over his administration’s response to last year’s attack on a U.S. diplomatic post in Libya. By the end of the day Monday, the administration found itself battling yet another potential crisis as lawyers for The Associated Press charged that the Justice Department secretly obtained two months of telephone records of reporters and editors for the AP in what the news agency called a “massive and unprecedented intrusion� into how news organizations gather the news. “We take seriously our obligations to follow all applicable laws, federal regulations, and Department of Justice policies when issuing subpoenas for phone records of media organizations,� the Justice Department said in a statement in response to the AP’s allegations. “Those regulations require us to make every reasonable effort to obtain information through alternative means before even considering a subpoena for the phone records of a member of the media.� Attorney General Eric Holder is scheduled to appear before the House Judiciary Committee on

President Barack Obama found himself on the defensive Monday, addressing questions about the administration’s response to the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi, Libya, and questions about the IRS targeting conservative groups. Wednesday and will likely face questions on the matter. “This is obviously disturbing,â€? said Rep. Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Committee. “Coming within a week of revelations that the White House lied to the American people about the Benghazi attacks and the IRS targeted conservative Americans for their political beliefs, Americans should take notice that top Obama administration ofďŹ cials increasingly see themselves as above the law and emboldened by the belief that they don’t have to answer to anyone.â€? Obama stopped short of apologizing for the IRS or calling for any particular action against agency officials in his first public comments since the IRS acknowledged last week that employees in the Cincinnati office routinely required conservative organizations seeking nonproďŹ t status to undergo more scrutiny. But Obama said that anyone found to be guilty of such actions should be held accountable, while calling the actions by agency personnel “outrageous.â€? “I’ve got no patience for

last September. But the president pushed back, saying his administration officials have been forthcoming about Benghazi and suggested that Republicans are more interested in scoring political points than figuring out how to prevent such incidents from happening again in hot spots where U.S. diplomats and other personnel are deployed. “There’s no ‘there’ there,� Obama said. From a strictly political calculus, Obama’s sharply contrasting responses to the two brewing scandals – dismissive on Benghazi while expressing outrage about the actions of IRS personnel – are easily explained. The public paid limited attention to last week’s congressional hearings about Benghazi, according to a Pew Research Center poll. Forty-four percent of Americans say they are following the hearings very or fairly closely, virtually unchanged from late January when Hillary Clinton testified. Last October, 61 percent said they were following the early stages of the investigation at least fairly closely. But getting picked on by the IRS, whether you agree with the tea party or not, is something people of all political stripes can relate to. “It’s like a tire, they wear out after a while if you keep driving them,� said John Straayer, a political scientist at Colorado State University. “This thing with the Internal Revenue Service could resonate with people for a while, just because it is the IRS and people can relate to it in a way ... but I’m not sure how much staying power that it will have either.�
it,â€? the president said in a joint news conference with British Prime Minister David Cameron, who was visiting the White House. “I will not tolerate it.â€? But on a second battlefront with Republicans, the confrontation about the administration’s response to last year’s attack on a U.S. facility in Benghazi, Libya, that left four Americans dead, Obama is not giving an inch. Republicans hammered Obama during last fall’s presidential campaign for inaccurate comments made by Susan Rice, Obama’s ambassador to the United Nations. And Republicans have revived scrutiny of the White House on Benghazi in recent days, including last week’s House Oversight Committee hearing that featured the No. 2 U.S. ofďŹ cial in Libya at the time of the attack describing how his pleas for a military response to the assaults were rejected. Last week, internal emails showed that his senior aides and State Department officials edited out references to terrorism in early “talking pointsâ€? put Š 2013 USA TODAY.

Jenkins gets his NFL rookie horns Former Fort Lewis quarterback inks free-agent contract with Rams BY RYAN OWENS HERALD SPORTS WRITER
Hurdle No. 1 has been cleared, getting smaller and smaller in the rearview as the dream drives on. Time to see if there’s enough gas in the tank to knock off an even bigger benchmark. Former Fort Lewis College quarterback Tim Jenkins impressed enough at rookie minicamp last weekend to be offered SHAUN STANLEY/Durango Herald file photo a free agent contract by the St. Louis Rams, which he signed Former Fort Lewis quarterback Tim Jenkins went from avoiding sacks at the FLC Monday. He’ll enter organized spring game to rubbing elbows with Sam Bradford, signing a free-agent deal with the St. Louis Rams on Monday. team activities as one of four
quarterbacks on the roster, alongside starter Sam Bradford and backups Austin Davis and Kellen Clemens. If you have an image in your mind of Jenkins getting the call from his agent and running around the house screaming excitedly, think again. After a few days of late-night playbook studying followed by 5 a.m. wakeup calls for drills, Jenkins was asleep Saturday when his agent attempted to give him the good news. “It was a good thing to wake up to,” Jenkins said with a laugh. “It was probably the best Moth-
er’s Day gift to call and tell my mom I’m not going to be home for Mother’s Day now, but I’m signing a deal Monday.” According to the St. Louis PostDispatch, Jenkins was one of 26 players in the rookie minicamp on a tryout basis. As of Monday afternoon, he was one of just six to be offered a free-agent deal. The Rams, however, had only 81 players under contract entering the minicamp, nine short of the 90-player limit, according to the report. The weekend consisted of a lot of 1-on-1 and 7-on-7 drills, Jenkins said – and a lot of playbook studying in a brief window. “I think they were seeing how much of the playbook we can

CHARLES KRUPA/Associated Press
Patrice Bergeron’s overtime winner sent teammate Zdeno Chara and the rest of the Bruins faithful into a frenzy as Boston completed a third-period rally from a three-goal deficit before topping Toronto 5-4 in Game 7 on Monday. The Bruins found out during the game that their plane had mechanical difficulties, so they returned to their Toronto hotel and flew back to Boston on Monday morning, just hours before the game. They appeared tired in the early part of the game, spotting Toronto a 4-1 lead on Nazem Kadri’s goal at 5:29 of the third period. But Nathan Horton brought Boston within two goals, then Milan Lucic and Bergeron scored 31 seconds apart in the final 1:22 after the Bruins pulled Rask for an extra skater.
Bergeron ended it early in the overtime, sending his teammates pouring over the boards while the crowd fell into a frenzy. Or, at least, those who stayed: Hundreds if not more had left in the third period, then begged security to get back into the TD Garden after the Bruins rallied.
N.Y. Rangers 5, Washington 0 WASHINGTON – Led by Henrik Lundqvist’s 35 saves in a second consecutive shutout, and goals from some unlikely sources, the New York Rangers beat the Washington Capitals in Game 7. New York contained Alex
Ovechkin again and completed its comeback after trailing in the series 2-0 and 3-2 – the latest in Washington’s long history of playoff collapses. Sixth-seeded New York faces No. 4 Boston in the second round. It is the first time New York won a Game 7 on the road in its history. Arron Asham put New York ahead in the first period, before Taylor Pyatt and Michael Del Zotto made it 3-0 early in the second on goals 2:10 apart. Ryan Callahan added a goal 13 seconds into the third period, and when Mats Zuccarello scored with about 13½ minutes remain-
ing, thousands of red-clad fans streamed to the exits. Soon after, when Lundqvist fell forward to smother a puck, chants of “Hen-reeek! Henreeek!” from the no-longer-outnumbered Rangers supporters rose in the arena. From the moment Mike Ribeiro’s overtime goal gave Washington a Game 5 victory, Lundqvist was superb. The Swede stopped all 62 shots he faced in Games 6 and 7, showing exactly why he won the Vezina Trophy as the league’s top goalie last season and is a finalist this season.

Miami reasserts its dominance with smothering D Heat roll to 3-1 lead on Bulls THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The 65 points allowed were only two more than the all-time postseason low for a Miami opponent, and it was easily the worst offensive performance by a Chicago team.

It's hard to believe the Bulls won the series opener the way the past three games have gone. Miami pounded Chicago in Game 2, coming away with its most lopsided playoff victory while handing the Bulls their worst ever postseason loss, and the Heat continued to roll from there.

Skyhawks strong on and off course Golfers get their postseason due HERALD STAFF REPORT
One Fort Lewis College men’s golfer was honored for his work on the course and three others for their course work in the classroom when the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference handed down
its postseason awards recently. Senior Charlie Laudermilk landed on the All-RMAC third team as one of the top 15 RMAC golfers in the NCAA West Region rankings as of April 24. Nick Ellis was a second-team choice and Dillon Washburn and Ronnie Toplyn third-team selections to the RMAC’s All-Academic team. Laudermilk, an Austin, Texas, native, pieced together an impressive fall and spring slate for the Skyhawks, finishing in the
top five in three events. He finished tied for second at both the RMAC No. 2 event at Fox Hollow Golf Course in Lakewood and at the Crawford/Wade Invitational at Tanglewood Resort and Conference Center in Pottsboro, Texas. The senior placed fifth at the Skyhawk Classic Club Shootout at The Classic Club in Palm Desert, Calif., and he capped his collegiate career with a 26th-place showing at the
RMAC Championships. Michael Lee of Colorado Mines was the league’s Golfer of the Year, with Western New Mexico’s Calum Hill the top freshman. Mines’ coach Tyler Kimble was tabbed Coach of the Year. Ellis earned the second-team academic honor for carrying a 3.92 grade-point average in business administration. The Litchfield Park, Ariz., native just finished his sophomore season.

Alfonso Soriano’s first-inning home run was the 376th of his career, tying him on the all-time list with Carlton Fisk, and put the Cubs well on their way to a 9-1 win over Wilin Rosario and Colorado. Dale Sveum, becoming a major part of the “core” of the team. He continued his run against a team that began Monday hitting .277 against left-handed pitching. “That’s as good an outing ... to throttle those guys the way they hit left-handed pitching is very, very impressive,” Sveum said. The Cubs offense wasn’t bad, either. With two outs in the first, Alfonso Soriano gave the Cubs a 2-0 lead with his fourth home run. It was Soriano’s 376th of his ca-
reer, tying him for 69th all-time with former Red Sox and White Sox catcher Carlton Fisk. Chicago added to its lead with three in the third on two-out RBI doubles from Wood and Starlin Castro. Wood’s RBI was his first of the season and just his third hit. The Cubs offense had 14 hits, one short of a season high. Along with Wood, Nate Schierholtz, David DeJesus, Soriano, Castro and Castillo each had two hits. Colorado starter Juan Nicasio (3-1) worked around a leadoff Sori-
ano double in the third, but the five earned runs increased his ERA over the first three innings to 6.38. “We tried to be aggressive against him,” Castillo said. “Trying to get a pitch on top of home plate and trying to hit and trying to get Wood a couple runs.” Wood and the Cubs didn’t need much more than that. Josh Rutledge hit a home run off Carlos Marmol with one out in the ninth, ruining the Cubs’ bid for their first shutout win since they beat Colorado on Aug. 26.

Aztec High School’s Tyra Gabehart was the 2012 District 1-4A Co-Player of the Year, and come this fall, she’ll be a Skyhawk after recently committing to join the program. “Tyra is a very strong and versatile athlete, and has been a varsity soccer player since eighth grade at Aztec High School,” Clarke said in a news release. “She had a very successful career and capped her senior season off with eight goals and seven assists from a center back position.” Gabehart was a first-team allstate selection and the Tigers’ team MVP in 2012. She also played basketball and was a member of the track and field team at Aztec. FLC went 13-4-3 last season, narrowly missing out on an NCAA Tournament berth in a year the Skyhawks were ranked as high as No. 2 in the nation at one point. With a strong recruiting class and a majority of last year’s team set to return, FLC will be aiming higher next season. “We believe (Gabehart) has a high ceiling based on athletic ability and attitude. She wants to learn to be a better player, and at this level this is the attitude it takes to be successful,” Clarke said. heraldsports @durangoherald.com

NFL: Jenkins could be fighting with NFL veteran Kellen Clemens for final QB spot on roster Continued from 7A handle,” he said. Jenkins fought injuries his senior year and played in just six games, in which he completed 161 of 301 passes for 1,817 yards and eight touchdowns with eight interceptions. But he finished third in school history with 8,857 passing yards, fourth with 47 touchdown passes and second in completion percentage at .583. Now, Jenkins likely is battling Clemens for a spot with the Rams. St. Louis head coach Jeff Fisher told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch
in February that second-year man Davis likely will be behind Bradford on the depth chart. That leaves Clemens, entering his ninth season, and Jenkins to battle for the No. 3 spot. In his career, Clemens has started eight times and appeared in 30 games, throwing for 2,271 yards, seven touchdowns and 13 interceptions. For now, Jenkins simply is trying to learn as much as possible. “I’m trying to be a sponge and soak up as much information as I can from those guys,” he said. “Because the system is going to be way different (than in college).”
The former Skyhawk had a pretty quick turnaround in what’s been a whirlwind few days. He said the quarterbacks had a morning meeting, then did some a bit of on-field work. At that point, Jenkins got his first bit of rookie initiation. Not that he minds much. He’s just trying to make the most of his time. “They were doing a throw-onthe-run drill, and I had to chase everybody,” Jenkins said. “Now being the fourth quarterback, you’ve got to do as much as you can with the time you have. ... It’s great when you do get a rep,
get a rep in the National Football League.” Now, it’s all about settling in. Jenkins will be back in Colorado briefly to pick up some personal belongings this weekend before jetting back to St. Louis, back to a different world from his Division II experience. After all, the budgets are a bit different. “There’s Gatorades in every room, and if you need new cleats, you get new cleats. ... I think I’m a lot more thankful for it coming from a smaller school,” he said. Despite those changes, being an under-contract player in the
NFL still hasn’t sunk in yet for the former FLC signal caller. Then again, maybe that first big OTA or the start of training camp or, if everything falls right, that first regular-season practice will jar that particular response. Until then, it’s the same old Tim. “This is my goal since I’ve been a little kid. ... So you feel like you’re going to feel all different, but I still feel like the Tim who stepped on the field freshman year at Fort Lewis,” he said. rowens@durangoherald.com

Boogaard’s family suing the league for wrongful death
MLB
CHICAGO – The family of a National Hockey League player who died of an accidental overdose of pain medication and alcohol has filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against the NHL, blaming it for brain damage he suffered as an enforcer and for his addiction to prescription painkillers. Derek Boogaard, who was found dead on May 13, 2011, at age 28, posthumously was diagnosed with chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a degenerative brain ailment that can be caused by repeated blows to the head, according to the 55-page lawsuit filed in Cook County Circuit Court late Friday. One of the attorneys who filed the lawsuit, William Gibbs, said Monday the NHL profited from Boogaard’s physical abilities as team doctors dispensed “pain pills like candy” after he suffered repeated injuries.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Police say a freshman basketball player at Brown University is in critical condition after being punched in the head in what appeared to be an unprovoked assault on Providence’s East Side. Deputy Police Chief Thomas Oates says 21-year-old Joseph Sharkey of Norwood, Mass., suffered severe head injuries when a man came up to him and hit him early Sunday morning while he was talking to a group of women around Thayer and George streets. Both campus and city police responded. Oates said he didn’t know if Sharkey and the assailant knew each other. A Rhode Island Hospital spokesman said Sharkey is in critical condition. A Brown spokeswoman had no immediate comment. Brown’s basketball team website lists Sharkey as a guard who played in high school at Northfield Mt. Hermon.

MILAN – FIFA president Sepp Blatter was “appalled” when he learned that AC Milan’s match against Roma was suspended because of racist chanting. Sunday’s game was stopped for 97 seconds during the second half when visiting Roma supporters would not stop chanting at Milan players Mario Balotelli and Kevin-Prince Boateng. The league fined Roma 50,000 Euros, equivalent to almost $65,000, on Monday. “Appalled to read about racist abuse in Serie A last night,” Blatter tweeted Monday. “Tackling this issue is complex, but we’re committed to action, not just words.” Blatter added that FIFA’s taskforce against racism and discrimination is “serious about devising a unified approach for FIFA’s 209 members.” Referee Gianluca Rocchi made the decision to suspend the match briefly after warnings issued over the stadium speaker system went unheeded. Roma captain Francesco Totti also had attempted to calm the fans to no avail. Balotelli was born in Italy to Ghanian immigrants and is the star forward of Italy’s national squad. Boateng was born in Germany to a German mother and a Ghanian father and plays for Ghana’s national team.

BY DAN ELLIOTT ASSOCIATED PRESS
CENTENNIAL – Lawyers for the Aurora theater shooting suspect told a judge Monday he wants to change his plea to not guilty by reason of insanity, but the judge won’t immediately rule on whether to allow it. Attorney Daniel King made the request in court,
saying the defense now has a diagnosis for James Holmes, though he didn’t specify what it was. Holmes, with bushy hair and beard, didn’t speak during the hearing after entering the courtroom with his eyes downcast. Before deciding whether to accept a new plea, Judge Carlos Samour said, he would consider arguments about constitutional ques-
tions the defense has raised about Colorado’s insanity and death-penalty laws. He isn’t expected to announce his decision until May 31, when another hearing is scheduled. At the heart of the dispute is a list of cautions Samour has prepared advising Holmes of the ground rules of an insanity defense.
Firearms: Agencies give away free gun locks Medicaid: Voting was split along partisan lines Continued from 1A are suicidal and by building safer firearms. It’s the same concept as improving safety in automobiles. “It’s not about taking away things that people like to have,” Runyan said. “It’s about making those products safer.” One safety measure is a gun lock, a mechanism that blocks the chamber or the trigger to prevents its firing. The La Plata County Sheriff’s Office has had gun locks for at least eight years, Lt. Ed Aber said Monday. “We don’t get a lot of requests for gun locks, but we have them at events we set up as part of a national program,” Aber said. “They’re free.” Aber said the agency has probably 150 gun locks on hand. Lt. Ray Shupe, with the Durango Police Department, said the department supports gun-lock programs and has given away gun locks free since at least 1997. “We always have them available,” Shupe said. We have cable style and trigger-guard style.” Some skeptics say re-
stricting gun access will not prevent suicide. Dr. Marian Betz, a researcher and emergency doctor at the University of Colorado Hospital, says that’s not the case. “A majority of people who attempt suicide, and don’t die, don’t go on to kill themselves in the future,” Betz said. “I think we really need to stop looking at suicide as this inevitable thing ... We wouldn’t treat people with cancer that way and say, ‘Well, they’re just going to die.’” The National Shooting Sports Foundation, a gun manufacturers’ trade association located in Newtown, Conn., advises on its website that every owner of a firearm should “take steps to prevent firearm accidents, theft and misuse.” The company further stresses that guns should never be kept loaded. That’s a suggestion rejected by some owners who say firearms used for protection should be ready to fire. Another simple safety step is a $10 gun lock, currently sold with new firearms, and available free for older guns from some police departments. The
locks are provided under a program called Project ChildSafe. The NSSF recently dedicated more money to the program, which also distributes information about keeping guns away out of hands of children. The Lakewood Police Department has been distributing free locks through the program for almost nine years. “It’s a needed thing if it saves one kid, if it keeps somebody from committing suicide,” said Agent Mark Mansanares of the department’s crimeprevention unit. Researcher Runyan also advocates designing guns that will physically permit only the owner or other pre-approved user to fire them. Such firearms could offer the sense of protection many gun owners want, while also helping prevent avoidable deaths, she said. However, Hollywood’s James Bond seems to be the only one with such a so-called “smart gun” right now. In the movie “Skyfall,” Bond’s “smart gun” scans for his unique grip before it can fire – and saves him when an enemy tries to use the gun against him.
Gas leak: Sewer line likely installed in 1998 Continued from 1A had been admitted. All of the students who were transported to Animas Surgical Hospital were released to their parents within a few hours, said Peggy Patterson, the hospital’s director of quality. The students arrived with complaints of nausea, vomiting and headaches, Patterson said. Upon hearing news of a potential gas leak, staff members evacuated the junior high school, but students returned to their classes after lunch. School officials originally suspected the noxious gases emanated from the contents of a sediment-collection tank beneath the class-
room, but further inspection showed the sewer line was at fault, Ignacio School District Superintendent Rocco Fuschetto said. The sewer line backed up into the science classroom, causing noxious odors to flow up through the sink and floor drains, Fuschetto said. The sewer-line infrastructure was likely installed in 1998 as part of an addition to the junior high school. The teacher in the classroom, Joseph Duffy, said he was aware the room had some drainage issues. On Monday, the stench got to a point where it was a little worse than normal, Duffy said. He took the students outside and turned on the fan in the classroom,
which seemed to help. About half the students in Duffy’s science class then went to English teacher Kathy Herrera’s class where several started complaining about headaches and nausea, Herrera said. They mentioned the smell of gas in the science classroom, which spurred Herrera to notify school officials of a potential health issue. In all her years teaching, she said she hasn’t had an experience such as this one. “It’s a first I don’t want to repeat,” she said. Herald Staff Writer Ann Butler contributed to this report. ecowan@durangoherald. com
Continued from 1A supported the bill – Senate Bill 200 – because they think it will reduce the amount of charity care they have to provide at emergency rooms. Hickenlooper stressed no general-tax money would be used to pay for the expansion. Instead, the federal government will pick up the full cost for the first three years, tapering down to 90 percent by 2020. An existing tax on hospitals will cover Colorado’s 10 percent of the cost. But Republicans called the bill irresponsible for the state and national budgets. During the bill’s debate on the Senate floor, Sen. Ellen Roberts, R-Durango, said Colorado and especially the Four Corners lacks enough doctors to provide for the Medicaid patients already on the rolls. “Expanding a program, increasing the number of
Medicaid patients when we can’t even care for the ones we have, to me is particularly concerning,” Roberts said. Roberts also said Colorado hasn’t done enough to root out Medicaid fraud. And, she said, Congress might put a stop to the way Colorado and other states are paying their share of the expansion through a hospital tax, which draws Roberts even more federal money. Other Republicans, such as Sen. Kevin Lundberg, RBerthoud, had more fundamental objections. “It is one more step to the government controlling your medical life. I don’t believe in that kind of socialist mentality,” Lundberg said. The new law expands eligibility for Medicaid to people making 133 percent of
the federal poverty level, up from a current 100 percent. The new cutoff line will be a yearly income of $14,856 for an individual or $30,657 for a family of four. The expansion was supposed to happen automatically through the federal Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare. But the U.S. Supreme Court threw out that portion of the law and left it to the states to decide whether to expand Medicaid. In the Legislature, SB 200 passed on highly partisan votes. No Democrat voted against it, and only one Republican voted for it – Sen. Larry Crowder of Alamosa. Hickenlooper’s signature on the bill was never in doubt. He called for Medicaid expansion during his State of the State address in January. jhanel@durangoherald. com
Coram: Energy mandate No. 1 agenda item Continued from 1A thinks Coram and other rural Republicans overstated their constituents’ opposition to wind, solar and biomass power. “They didn’t hear one person ever speak for renewable energy. If they did, they didn’t want to hear it,” McLachlan said. Still, the Southwest Colorado lawmakers worked together a lot on rural issues. They co-sponsored bills on forest health and an update of the law that creates the Colorado Commission of Indian Affairs. “I like Don Coram a lot. Obviously, he and I have virtually opposite political perspectives,” McLachlan said. “We were able on the (House) Agriculture Committee to work together on every Western Slope bill.” Coram’s first four House bills either failed or he withdrew them. They dealt with the use of produced water from natural-gas and oil drilling for dust suppres-
sion, waste tires, exempting heavy trucks from daily fees on vehicle rentals and additional review by the Legislature of rules adopted by state agencies. Coram thinks he can make progress on the first three issues without sponsoring new bills. He presented the last bill as a statement against heavyhanded rules by state agencies – a long-standing Republican complaint. After early setbacks in the House, he hit his stride later in the session. Coram was a favorite partner for Senate Democrats looking to pass their bills with bipartisan support. He carried a Senate bill that allows farmers to grow hemp with state permission and regulation. He also sponsored three Senate bills to add $10 million in wildfire-prevention grants, give companies incentives to use dead trees to generate electricity and heat, and allow the state to pick up more of the cost of early at-
tacks on wildfires. Also, he was one of four sponsors of a bill requiring police officer training for dealing with dogs, in the hopes of reducing the number of dog shootings by police. Gov. John Hickenlooper signed the bill into law Monday. Coram’s biggest surprise came the last day, when the House passed his resolution opposing endangered species status for the Gunnison sage grouse. As a resolution, it doesn’t carry the force of law, but it could put pressure on federal wildlife officials. Still, it’s the renewableenergy mandate that sticks out as his biggest letdown and the topic he will work on next year. “That’s probably my No. 1 agenda for next year,” Coram said. “Sometimes, the pendulum swings too far in one way, and then it comes back.” jhanel@durangoherald. com

Culture Gulch
Busy musicians, actors shrug off ‘shoulder’ season Mid May. It’s time for chamber music and 10-minute plays. The fifth annual Durango Chamber Music Festival got off to a colorful start Friday. “Rhythm, Romance and Revelry,” this year’s edition, will continue Friday and May 24. Festival impresario C. Scott Hagler asked three musical colleagues to assemble the concerts. Linda Mack Berven and company opened May 10 with “Rhythm,” works from Monteverdi to Gershwin. On Friday and May 24, violinist Nathan Lambert and trumpeter Marc Reed will assemble parts two and three: Romance and Revelry. Romance is three works by Brahms, Max Bruch and Dvorak. Soprano Roni Turner, violist Sharon Neufeld and pianist Mika Inouye will open with two songs by Brahms. “Roni has one of the most beautiful, clear voices you have ever heard,” Lambert said. “Everyone who loves music should hear her sing.” Bruch’s “8 Pieces for Clarinet, Viola, and Piano,” will center the concert with clarinetist Joshua Mietz, Neufeld and Inouye. Dvorak’s big String Quartet No. 10 in E-flat Major will anchor the evening with violinists Nathan and Kristina Lambert, Neufeld and cellist Hans Freuden. The final concert, May 24, will feature Fort Lewis College Music Department Chair Marc Reed and fellow brass players plus winds and percussion. Works by Bach, Stravinsky and Giovanni Gabrielli, among others, will be performed. Pianist Mack Berven returns to join the revelers in works by contemporary composers. Tickets are $18 and $10 in advance – (800) 838-3006 – or take your chances at the door.

The Durango Arts Center 10-Minute Play Festival will serve up part one Friday. If you haven’t been before, give it a try. Five 10-minute plays will have staged readings from a contest sponsored by DAC. Part two will take place Sept. 13-14. The 10-minute play has been around for a few decades. It achieved national recognition when it was first introduced by the Actors Theatre of Louisville in 1977. Annual editions of Louisville winners are now published, and festivals have sprung up all around the country. Dinah Leavitt Swan initiated one in Oxford, Miss., which is still growing. A few years ago, Swan revived the idea at DAC with her husband, Terry, who is president of the board. The Swans act as consultants to DAC Contest Director Theresa A. Carson, who issues a national call. This year, 128 scripts came in from all over the country. Readers sift through the scripts in a blind competition. Five finalists are chosen, and those scripts will be presented by local actors Friday, in the arts center’s theater. The evening is free. Jurors select the Grand Prize Winner, but the audience selects a People’s Choice Award.

‘Hidden’ follows drama of Hollanders who try to save a life IF YOU GO
BY MARGARET HEDDERMAN SPECIAL TO THE HERALD
idden: Stories From the Dutch Resistance,” this year’s opening offering at the Pagosa Springs Center for the Arts, is a delicate, yet blatant reminder of what human beings are capable of – for better or for worse. Set in occupied Holland during World War II, the latest production from the adventurous Thingamajig Theatre Co. asks the simple question: What would you do? “Hidden” follows the lives of seven Dutch men, women and children as they risk the lives of their own family to save the life of a Jew. Where many theatrical and cinematic visitations to the Holocaust grimly depict the unimaginable horrors of the concentration camps, “Hidden” examines the internal, moral drama so many faced in circumstances few can comprehend today.
Thingamajig Theatre Co. presents “Hidden: Stories from the Dutch Resistance,” by Jamie Bruss and Christopher Willard, directed by Laura Moore, at the Pagosa Springs Center for the Arts, 2313 Eagle Drive. Show times are 7 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays through May 26. Tickets cost $18 in advance/$25 at the door, available by phone at 7317469 and online at www.pagosacenter.org.

In a setting where hope struggles to survive, the human spirit proves itself time and again. Written by Colorado playwrights Jamie Bruss and Christopher Willard, “Hidden” premiered in 2007 at the Backstage Theatre in Breckenridge. Bruss and Willard conducted extensive interviews with survivors and research to construct this beautifully written drama. Both writers sought to explore the experiences of survival and heroism. Pagosa Springs High School actress Hayley Hudson (Siena) reminisces in a scene from “Hidden.”

Painters: Artists will have access to exclusive areas to work at Mesa Verde National Park Continued from 1B this exclusive event with so many other talented artists,â€? said Jim Wilcox, a Jackson Hole, Wyo.-based artist. “The landscape of the park is ideal subject matter for plein air artists.â€? The artists will have access to exclusive areas to work, including Wetherill Mesa, home to the Long House ruin, the wild piĂąonjuniper woodlands and overlooks of archeological
sites in cliff-side alcoves. “One of my goals is to make the park more accessible to visitors and enhance the visitor experience,� said park Superintendent Cliff Spencer. “The ruins and the natural beauty of the park is interpreted uniquely by each visitor, and we are excited to see the visions captured by this stellar group of artists.� Participating artists are William Acheff, Joe Anna Arnett, James Asher, Joe

All proceeds will beneďŹ t the Mesa Verde Foundation and Mesa Verde National Park.
Drama: Center for the Arts to feature comedies, musicals Continued from 1B Director Laura Moore, who acted in the 2007 premiere, respectfully handles Willard’s and Bruss’ material with subtle direction. Moore also revives her role as Astrid, the wife of a Nazi doctor. The Pagosa Springs Center for the Arts continues to recruit talented local and out-of-town professional actors. Pamela Chabora and Wade P. Wood join the Pagosa Springs and Durango cast for this production. Chabora, a performance
specialist and professional actor from Maine, portrays Miriam as a teenager during the occupation and as an old woman recounting her experiences. She tastefully ďŹ nds humor even in the darkest moments. Wood, formerly the executive producer of the Denver Victorian Playhouse, is Piet, a schoolboy who becomes essential to the Dutch Resistance. Bearded and gray, Wood awlessly brings to life the joy and fearlessness of a child. Local actors Bonnie Hite, Hayley Hudson (Pa-
gosa Springs High School) and Kenneth Breece (Fort Lewis College), further prove the existence of hidden talent in Southwest Colorado. Tim Moore, artistic director of Thingamajig, rounds out the charismatic ensemble. As with many mountain theaters, the Center for the Arts will feature comedies and musicals for its summer season – “Spamalot,� “The Full Monty� and “Good People� are on the summer bill. Dramatic pieces such as “Hidden� are the company’s opportunity to experiment
and take risks. With this performance, the risk paid off. “Hidden� begs us to not only remember the horrors but also the uplifting stories of goodness and survival. Because, as Willard and Bruss point out, humans must remember that we never learn from our mistakes. “Hidden� will run through May 26. margaretyh@gmail.com.

This year’s Cannes, the 66th, kicks off Wednesday with Baz Luhrmann’s “The Great Gatsby,â€? a 3-D extravaganza starring DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan and Tobey Maguire. In many ways, the movie’s lavish, star-powered decadence epitomizes Cannes. But by the time Luhrmann and his cast stroll down the Croisette, “The Great Gatsbyâ€? will have already opened in North America. Such a move by the widely respected Cannes artistic director Terry Fremaux has suggested to some perhaps a modicum of atypical desperation to lure a big, ashy ďŹ lm with some artistic ambitions (not always an easy thing to ďŹ nd these days). But it also highlights Cannes’ loyalty to its favorites: Luhrmann’s debut, “Strictly Ballroom,â€? premiered at Cannes, and his “Moulin Rougeâ€? was also a fest opener. Cannes remains the g randest platform for filmmakers who want to be considered among the world’s elite. For studios, it’s an opportunity to globally promote some of their most prized films. This year, there’s a ďŹ nely curated buffet of both varieties. Several ďŹ lms expected to have a big presence come Oscar season will premiere at Cannes, including Alexander Payne’s “Nebraska,â€? a ďŹ lm starring Bruce Dern and Will Forte as a fatherson pair on a road trip. And few can top Ryan Gosling as a star attraction: His second collaboration with Danish director Nicolas
Winding Refn (“Driveâ€?), the Bangkok noir “Only God Forgives,â€? promises to be one of the most thrillingly violent films at the festival. Much of the world’s attention will be focused on the 20 ďŹ lms competing for the prestigious Palme d’Or, which last year went to Michael Hanekes “Amour,â€? also a best-picture nominee at the Oscars. The in-competition ďŹ lms are a typically international group, including films from Chad (MahamatSaleh Haroun’s “Grigrisâ€?), China (Jia Zhangke’s “A Touch of Sinâ€?) and Japan (Hirokazu Koreeda’s “Like Father, Like Sonâ€?). Many Palme d’Or winners are returning, including the Coen brothers (1991’s “Barton Finkâ€?), Roman Polanski (2002’s “The Pianistâ€?) and Steven Soderbergh (1989’s “sex, lies and videotapeâ€?). Joel and Ethan Coen will debut “Inside Llewyn Davis,â€? a 1960s period ďŹ lm about the Greenwich Village folk scene. Polanski will premiere “Venus in Fur,â€? a French-language adaptation of the David Ives play. Soderbergh’s “Behind the Candelabraâ€? will screen shortly before airing on HBO. It stars Michael Douglas as the amboyant pianist Liberace and Matt Damon as his lover, Scott Thorson. Soderbergh initially declined a spot in competition, preferring to leave a space for a young filmmaker in need of exposure. Fremaux called him a week before announcing the lineup and said that, having seen everything, “Behind the Candelabraâ€?
deserved to be in competition. “The prism through which a movie is viewed when it’s in competition is very different than when it’s not in competition,â€? says Soderbergh. “And I wanted to have fun. I didn’t want to feel that pressure. But I don’t really care now. I’m going to have fun no matter what, I’ve decided.â€? The “Out of Sightâ€? and “Magic Mikeâ€? director says “Behind the Candelabraâ€? is his last feature film, at least for a time. So Soderbergh’s ďŹ lm career, effectively launched at Cannes in 1989, will conclude there 24 years later. P re s i d i n g ove r t h e jury that will choose the Palme d’Or winner is Steven Spielberg, who hasn’t had a film at Cannes in decades. (His “Sugarland Expressâ€? and “E.T.â€? both premiered at Cannes.) Speculators predict that Spielberg will either gravitate to the warm-hearted tales he’s best known for, or seek to prove his more hifalutin’ bona fides with a more unconventional choice. (Of course, there’s always the chance that he’ll simply try to pick the best movie.) But the hot-house atmosphere of Cannes can obscure reactions. Films in competition are greeted with hopes, even expectations, of being a masterpiece. The Brooklyn Academy of Music is running a series throughout May called “Booed at Cannes,â€? with ďŹ lms such as Martin Scorsese’s “Taxi Driverâ€? (it still won the Palme) and Francois Truffaut’s “The Soft Skin.â€? Passion for movies,
whether positive or negative, runs deep at Cannes. Sofia Coppola (last at Cannes with the polarizing “Marie Antoinetteâ€?) has experienced both sides. This year, she leads a particularly strong Un Certain Regard sidebar with “The Bling Ring,â€? a film about star-worshipping California teenagers who burglarize celebrity homes. There’s also J.C. Chandor’s follow-up to his acclaimed debut “Margin Call,â€? “All Is Lost,â€? starring Robert Redford in a dialogue-less performance. And the industrious James Franco will premiere his Faulkner adaptation, “As I Lay Dying.â€? Several notable directors will present ďŹ lms not in their native tongues. Regarded a possible Palme d’Or favorite, the Iranian filmmaker Asghar Farhadi (the Oscar-winning “A Separationâ€?) brings the French-language “Le Passe, starring Berenice Bejo (“The Artistâ€?). Out of competition, French actor-director Guillaume Canet makes his English language debut with “Blood Ties,â€? a New York crime ďŹ lm starring Clive Owen and Billy Crudup. For much of Hollywood and the ďŹ lm world, Cannes is most importantly a marketplace – the biggest in the industry – where casts are assembled, financing is sought and distribution deals pursued. Last year during the festival, director James Toback documented the behindthe-scenes process as he and Alec Baldwin shuttled around hotels and yachts pitching a ďŹ lm.

Sex-free woman attracts ardent suitors DEAR ABBY: I am a woman in my late 40s, and I hate sex. I always have and always will. I’m disabled, and it has always been torture. I never got any positive benefits out of it. My problem is I get hit on Dear Abby constantly. I tried marriage once, more for financial reasons than anything else, but I couldn’t wait to get out. I’m single now, own my own home, and the men in this town (married and single) all seem to think I’m fair game. They’re convinced that I’m in need of satisfaction because I don’t date or have a steady man in my life. I have told them repeatedly that it’s not going to happen, but every once in a while one pops up on my doorstep or approaches me in town, only to be told again to leave me alone. Please don’t tell me to see a therapist. The last one I went to tried to tell me I was gay. No! I’m simply happy being single and sex-free. I go where I want and don’t have to answer to anyone. Short of running these idiots off with a shotgun, how do I get it through their thick skulls that I’m not available? – Sexless by Choice DEAR SEXLESS: Although we live in a sexobsessed society, not everyone – male or female – is a sexual creature. Your therapist should not have tried to label you as gay. You appear to be asexual, which you describe as happily sex-free. The next time you are hit on by one of
these men – who, by the way, probably think that by doing so they are “helping” – tell him you are happy with your life just the way it is, and it isn’t necessary to offer help where none is needed. Period. DEAR ABBY: I really like this girl, but my parents absolutely cannot stand her. They hate that she has a tattoo and a lip ring, but her appearance has had no effect on her professional life, as she is on the road to success in her field. I am not writing to ask whether I should stay with her, because I intend to. She’s an amazing person, a hard worker, a trustworthy partner and, most of all, she’s my best friend. How can I diffuse potentially “combustible” situations with my parents, who always try to put her down no matter how often I plead my case? – Joe in Rhode Island DEAR JOE: Whether your parents approve or not, tattoos seem to have become a rite of passage for many people of your generation, and so have lip rings, eyebrow rings and multiple ear piercings. If you are older than 21 and living independent of your parents, then you have the right to choose the women you become involved with. From your letter, I’d say your values are mature. In time, your parents may recognize the fine qualities you see in this young woman. If they don’t, they may wind up estranging a son. Right now, getting into a debate about her will be a losing proposition, and I’m advising you against it. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21 to April 19): Today, your focus is on home, family and domestic matters. You might also want to cocoon at home. Discussions with a parent or older female relative will be significant. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20): This is a busy, curious day. Enjoy short trips, spending time with siblings and talking to neighbors and daily contacts. You want to enlighten others about something. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20): Money, cash flow and something you own will absorb your attention today. Stay in touch with your bank account. Avoid disputes about possessions. CANCER (June 21 to July 22): Today the moon is in your sign, which brings you extra luck. However, it also makes you more emotional than usual. Avoid aggressive tactics with others in groups. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22): You have been highviz lately, which makes you popular. You’re enjoying this, but even you need a rest. Today is a good day to lie low. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22): A confidential discussion with a female friend could be meaningful today. Avoid disputes about religion, politics and racial issues; instead, share your ideas about travel or educational plans. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22): Private details about your personal life might be public today. (Not always easy to handle.) Be aware of this and ready to do some damage control if necessary. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21): Indulge your
need for a little adventure today. At least, learn something new because you don’t want to be bored. You want something different to happen to enliven your life! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21): Stay in touch with bank accounts, insurance matters and details about inheritances. Make sure shared property is clearly defined. This might be a sexy day for some. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19): Be prepared to go more than halfway when dealing with others today because the moon is opposite your sign. It’s not a big deal. Just be tolerant and cut others some slack. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18): Set aside some time today to get better organized. Get rid of or recycle things from your medicine cabinet or your kitchen. Do something. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20): Enjoy sports events, playful times with children and little flirtations because this is a playful day for you. You might want to watch a movie or read a mystery. BORN TODAY: You’re an energetic perfectionist, which means you can accomplish a lot. You’re opportunistic and are quick to see ways to use new ideas. In fact, you are always modern and up-to-date. You can be demanding, but you rarely demand more than what you are prepared to give. Set aside time to learn or study something this year – you will not regret it.
