BW story prompts legal help
I represent Ms. Ashley Weber, the subject of Ms. Elizabeth Miller’s thoughtful article in the Boulder Weekly (“Between two laws,” Dec. 13). I was so affected by Ashley’s situation that I sought to represent her. Ashley’s Section 8 housing assistance is being terminated by the Longmont Housing Authority. I believe such action is discriminatory and in need of immediate action. To that end,
the
Highroad
I have requested, among other things, that the termination of assistance be withdrawn and that she be permitted to use her medicine in the privacy of her own home. If the termination is not withdrawn, I am prepared to proceed with litigation in the United States District Court, District of Colorado, to protect Ashley and her son from the harm that will be visited upon her. This will be a case of first impression in the United States
and stands to establish precedent for the disabled, as well as medical marijuana users. For Ashley and her 3-year-old son Collin’s sake I hope it does not come to that. Representatives [Cory] Gardner and [ Jared] Polis have already contacted the Longmont Housing Authority on Ashley’s behalf. I submit that the “low federal law
in cities and rural areas alike, this unbridled “gas rush” has become a matter of deeply grave concern. Literally. In the shriveled ethical universe of these fracking profiteers, money trumps everything, and nothing is sacred — not even graveyards, the eternal resting place of our loved ones. Yes, gas frackers across the country are out to get drilling rights in hundreds of cemeteries, promising maintenance money to caretakers in exchange for letting the corporations sink their explosive siphons down under the dearly departed. “Ashes to ashes, dust to dust — and mineral rights to Exxon.” How spiritual. Oh, come on, snap the industry’s impatient hustlers, the fracking takes place way underground, so it won’t disturb the graves. Yeah, but what about the souls? A cemetery is a spiritual

uch energy powers as BP, ExxonMobil, Halliburton and Koch Industries have gone crackers over fracking! Seeing huge profits from this dreadfully destructive and dangerously dirty method of forcing natural gas out of rock formations deep in the Earth, the industry is presently scurrying all over the country asking landowners to sign contracts allowing them to drill and frack on farms, parkland, playgrounds and even people’s backyards. But now,

sanctuary — a place of respect, serenity and moral decorum. But a fracking corporation has no soul, and its moral concerns penetrate no deeper than its bottom line. For a measure of just how shallow corporate morality is, note that frackers even threaten the hallowed ground of some of our veterans’ cemeteries. Their ethos is clear: “Hey, outta the way — decorum is one thing, but there’s money under those graves!” It’s not just deep rock that they’re out to fracture, it’s our deepest values, too — our sense of who we are as a people.

enewable energy could power a large electric grid 99.9 percent of the time by 2030 at costs akin to today’s electricity expenses, according to a new study by the University of Delaware and Delaware Technical Community College. A carefully designed mixture of wind power, solar power and storage in batteries and fuel cells would nearly always exceed electricity demands while keeping costs low, the scientists found. “These results break the conventional wisdom that renewable energy is too unreliable and expensive,” said coauthor Willett Kempton, professor in the School of Marine Science and Policy in UD’s College of Earth, Ocean and Environment. “The key is to get the right combination of electricity sources and storage — which we did by an exhaustive search — and to calculate costs correctly.” The authors developed a computer model to consider 28 billion combinations of renewable energy sources and storage mechanisms, each tested over four years of historical hourly weather data and electricity demands. The model incorporated data from within a large regional grid called PJM Interconnection, which includes 13 states from New Jersey to Illinois and represents one-fifth of the United States’ total electric grid. So a transition to renewables is not as big a technical problem as many thought. However, there is the question of political and economic clout. The fossil fuels industry is enormously powerful. They bankroll lobbyists and the climate change denial propaganda. Their politician friends are attacking government subsidies for clean energy because they
supposedly favor a purely “free-market” approach to energy. But the dirty energy boys have received an awful lot of government help. The blog ThinkProgress notes: “According to a recent report from the venture capital firm DBL Investors, the U.S. coal, oil, gas and nuclear industries have cumulatively taken in more than $630 billion in tax credits, land grants, R&D programs and direct investments from the government. That far surpasses the roughly $50 billion in government renewable energy investments (wind, solar PV, solar thermal, geothermal, biofuels) through these same mechanisms over the decades, according to the report.” Fracking technologies are definitely not the product of the free market. The ThinkProgress report says: “A 2011 investigation from the Breakthrough Institute showed that the natural gas industry was able to commercialize fracking technologies only after decades of tax credits, government R&D programs, government assistance with mapping, and partnership with companies entering commercial scale.” A geologist from Mitchell Energy, a leading company that pioneered fracking, put it this way: “I’m conservative as hell. But the [Department of Energy] did a hell of a lot of work, and I can’t give them enough credit for that.” Meanwhile, a bipartisan group of U.S. senators (including Colorado’s Mark Udall) is concerned about a subsidy to the wind energy industry expiring. This might mean a loss of an estimated 37,000 jobs. The senators released a petition signed by 3,500 veterans urging Congress to extend the

enforcement” policy pronounced by President Obama last week is insufficient and places people like Ashley and Collin in harm’s way. It is time to move forward with legislation exempting medical marijuana from prosecution under the Controlled Substances Act. States’ rights is good politics, and Ashley and I are prepared to “go all the way” if necessary. Please join us in this effort. Jeff Gard, attorney/Boulder For 35 years I have been the victim of the U.S. government’s “War on Citizens”! Forced to be a foot soldier in the trenches, defending my God-given right to ingest any food-plant I desire. You can’t wage war on an inanimate object. It is tax-paying citizens with human hearts that have been harassed, tortured, fined and jailed by government authorities for decades! Cannabis is not a drug and should never have been targeted as such. It is a very versatile, helpful and harmless plant if used properly. Fuel, textiles, food, paper, pain relief and getting people off their alcohol or narcotic addictions are just a few of the great uses for the cannabis plant. The government’s propaganda war has been largely successful at ruining people’s lives and creating an American society where citizens fear and hate the police and their government. Now, local housing authorities and their housing specialists have become DEA agents, kicking low-income, disabled people out of their much-needed subsidized housing, claiming that this is
what the federal government would want them to do. President Obama has now announced that the federal authorities should leave the people of Colorado and Washington alone! I, however, just received a three-day eviction notice from the city of Boulder Housing Authority telling me to vacate my apartment. Merry Christmas! This happened after I posted on my front door a full-page Boulder Weekly ad for Options Medical Center featuring my photograph and an article stating why my physician has for 10 years recommended medical marijuana for my health. Also posted was my Colorado legal patient “red card.” I have never smoked inside my apartment, but unproven reports of smoke smell in the common hallway have possibly ruined my chances to remain housed now and in the future. At Walnut Place Senior and Disabled Public Housing in Boulder, there are at least nine residents who possess red cards and plenty more living on every floor who regularly smoke. On any given day, you will smell marijuana in the public hallways, but it seems that I am the one targeted for harassment from the Housing Authority. For 10 years, Colorado Constitutional Amendment 20 has stated that the only place a patient can medicate is inside the privacy of their homes!

Colorado’s new well setbacks are a joke
Anybody else tired of hearing the state of Colorado continuously lie to us about how it has the toughest restrictions on oil and gas drilling in the nation? In fact, lately, every time the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission makes such a statement, it’s just a signal that it’s getting ready to pass some lame half-measure designed to appease the industry at the public’s expense. This time the hollow claim preceeded the announcement that well setbacks would be pushed back to 500 feet from homes instead of the currently allowed insane distance of 350. Wow, whatever will the oil companies do under such difficult regulations? The answer is laugh all the way to the bank. As a matter of perspective, Midland, Texas, where oil companies run the show, has had 500-foot setbacks for years. Holy crap, 500 feet in Midland, the place you’d stick the hose if you wanted to give the Lone Star State an enema, and Colorado regulators only have the balls to ask for the same measly 500 feet? It would be comic if the public’s health weren’t the punch line. Finally, the state capped its impotent, incompetent attempt at regulation by making it illegal to drill within 1,000 feet of a nursing home or school, presumably because that would be dangerous. But if that’s true, then why is it supposedly safe to put a well 500 feet from a house that might be full of children and old people 24 hours a day? The state of Colorado is worse than incompetent when it comes to oil and gas regulation. In truth, it is simply in partnership with the industry. But you can be sure of this: The only reason the state is doing anything, no matter how meaningless, with regard to protecting our health and property values, is because of the pressure being exerted by fractivists and communities like Longmont and counties like Boulder. Keep up the fight and refuse to compromise, and the state might just find the guts to stand up to the industry someday. But don’t hold your breath.
Tribune sees its shadow
Like a groundhog in Punxsutawney, Tribune Co., the once-powerful media corporation that owns such brands as the Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times and Orlando Sentinel has, after four years, finally poked its head out from one of the longest bankruptcies in U.S. history. Unfortunately, it appears that the Tribune has seen its shadow. According to reports, the company plans to sell its newspapers and become a multimedia company more geared towards the new digital world. Sound familiar? Translation: The Tribune will soon be heading back into its hole having apparently learned nothing from its dark world of the past four years or the many bankruptcies of other chain-owned daily papers all trying to become hip and cool so they can appeal to all those young scallywags out there with fancy phones and other electronic contraptions with moving pictures. Sorry guys, but calling your chain of daily newspapers along with a few TV stations a multimedia company is just putting lipstick on a dinosaur. It doesn’t make you anything but a silly looking dinosaur, and it diminishes your only actual value, which was gathering and reporting the news. It’s hard to watch such important journalistic institutions fade away for no other reason than the fact that real estate moguls, investment bankers, website bubbleaires, hedge-fund managers and entertainment industry executives are running the show at the newspaper chains these days. That’s why their buildings are worth more than their papers. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com Boulder Weekly

Meat is murder
This year’s developments have certainly vindicated those of us who care about our health, our environment and our treatment of animals. In January, first lady Michelle Obama unveiled revamped federal guidelines requiring school cafeterias to serve more fruits, vegetables and whole grains, and less sodium and animal fat.
In March, a study involving nearly 38,000 men and 84,000 women by the Harvard School of Public Health concluded that one daily serving of meat is associated with a 13 percent to 20 percent increase in the risk of death from heart disease or cancer. The American Journal of Preventive Medicine estimates that prevalence of obesity among American adults will escalate to 42 percent by 2030, with a $550 billion increase in medical costs.

wind production tax credit (PTC). Hundreds of veterans have gotten jobs in that industry. The PTC subsidizes new wind generation by 2.2 cents per kilowatt-hour of wind electricity produced, considerably below the price of air pollution damages caused by coal plants. Time is short. We need to act on a local, state, national and global level. We need to promote a global Keynesianism to replace the neo-liberal “free market” approach. The United Nations came out in support of this concept several years ago. In 2009, a policy brief by the UN argued that investing 1 percent of global wealth, or around $750 billion, into five key sectors would stimulate a “Global Green New Deal.” They said that mobilizing and redirecting the global economy towards investments in clean technologies and natural infrastructure such as forests and soils is the best bet for real growth, combating climate change and generating an employment boom. The five areas of investment would be: • Raising the energy efficiency of old and new buildings • Renewable energies — wind, solar, geothermal and biomass • Sustainable transport — hybrid vehicles, high-speed rail and bus rapid transit systems • The planet’s ecological infrastructure — freshwaters, forests, soils and coral reefs • Sustainable agriculture, including organics That sounds like a good recipe to me. —Anderson is a retired CU librarian and a member of Democratic Socialists of America.

ties among three pig producers in Oklahoma and a Pennsylvania egg farm. It’s little wonder that 7 percent of Americans consider themselves vegetarian or vegan, and 28 percent are actively reducing their meat consumption, leading to a 12 percent U.S. drop since 2007. We should all consider following suit for this New Year’s resolution. Entering “live vegan” in a search engine brings tons of recipes and other useful information. Stanley Silver/Boulder

omeone lives under the Boulder Public Library bridge that spans the creek, and he’s not a troll. He’s a Dwarf. Or at least that’s the nickname given to Ron Bauer, whose stature, graying goatee and hooded, weathered, leathery face fit the description. He has a surprising twinkle in his crystal blue eyes for someone who has lived on the streets for 32 years. He tells me that his last name means “tiller of soil” in German, which only makes sense later. Dwarf, one of Boulder County’s estimated 1,500 oftenforgotten homeless people, has a story. Lots of them, actually. Like the one about how he got his nickname: Dwarves are key characters in the fantasy game Dungeons and Dragons that he has played since he was a kid. Under his many layers of clothing, he says, is a dwarf tattoo, and he has named his two beloved dogs for characters of fantasy as well. Cooshee is named for a D&D character (but he also fondly refers to her as “mama”), and Rohan J. Bear’s name melds a Lord of the Rings kingdom and the dancing bear that his face resembles — a symbol from his years following the Grateful Dead after he first hit the streets of San Francisco in the 1970s. Dwarf looks older than a 45-year-old should. He has only been in Boulder about four years — this time. He has traveled the country since he was 13, and in his short current stint in Colorado he has become a prominent member of the local homeless community, cleaning up trash and encouraging troubled teens to stay in school. He knows the local scene: who’s dealing what drug, who’s drunk, who is mentally unstable. And they all know him. At one point during a Dec. 21 memorial at the bandshell honoring the 15 homeless people who died this year in Boulder County, a thin, 19-year-old blonde girl approaches Dwarf as we talk, and he waves her off with, “Not now, kiddo.” A week later, when we’re back under the bridge, an older kid walks up to him and begins to ask where he can buy something, and Dwarf cuts him off by pointing to a group of people smoking what could be cigarettes or marijuana — or both. He says he only refers people to where they can buy weed, not harder stuff.
slept under the bridge; the cops seemed to be giving them a break because it was so cold. Or because it was Christmas. Dwarf says he’d like to find a place indoors instead of sleeping outside virtually every night of the year, but the homeless shelters in town won’t let him bring his dogs in, and they are family. “I wouldn’t be able to get rid of my dogs,” he says. “They are part of my life, they are my kids. … If you want to hurt me, hurt my dogs. That would hurt more than if you hurt me.” Besides, Dwarf says, he gets claustrophobic behind walls unless they are part of a tent, and he doesn’t need to be in a homeless shelter or warming center. “I’ve got the gear for it,” he says of sleeping outside in the winter. “If I go inside, I take the place of someone who doesn’t have the gear for it.” As for his real family, his dad died at age 49 from a blood clot in the brain. He speaks fondly of some nieces and nephews. Other than that, he seems to lean on the homeless community, on friends who watched each other’s stuff under the bridge in shifts as they took turns going to the Walnut Brewery on Christmas Day to enjoy a free holiday meal of chicken, mac and cheese, potatoes and green beans. Even the drug dealers are part of the community. “They’re all Boulder family,” Dwarf says. “It’s just sad to see. Just as long as our youngsters aren’t doing it. … This is like a lost generation out here.” He says he’d look for a job, but he has trouble dealing with people and their attitudes. Dwarf says he’d prefer to just be with his dogs, reading. He likes Westerns. Besides, his monthly disability check would get docked if he had additional income. One day, a stranger gave him an envelope containing $325. He spent about $100 of it on dog food. As for the rest of the money? “I ate on it and kept myself in tobacco for a few days,” Dwarf says. He seems proud of the fact that he helps keep downtown parks clean and tries to help the wayward kids that show up under his bridge due to problems at home. If he has a legacy, he says, it will be for keeping some of those troubled teens off the streets and away from substance abuse. “So many doors are open for them,” he says a bit
Life under the bridge
HOMELESS MAN TRIES TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN HIS COMMUNITY BY JEFFERSON DODGE
10 January 3, 2013
Dwarf used to drink heavily, used to do a variety of drugs, but now he prefers pot — and the occasional mushroom or acid trip. “Anything you’ve gotta puke to get high, there’s no reason to do,” he says. Dwarf smokes cigarettes constantly as he sits under the bridge, next to his bike and an attached trailer loaded with all of his earthly possessions. Those include military-grade winter clothing, a 30-sided Dungeons & Dragons die, an old Playstation game system that plays DVDs and two sleeping bags in which he and his dogs share body heat to survive the coldest Boulder nights. “I just need to get a good pair of boots for the winter,” he explains. Dwarf says he usually sleeps somewhere next to the creek, under a tarp, taking his chances with getting ticketed by local cops enforcing Boulder’s anti-camping ordinance. “If you have a blanket under you, it is camping,” he says, adding that it seems to be OK to lie down with your gear, as long as there is nothing covering you. These days, after 11 p.m., even the homeless who are awake and upright are getting citations for trespassing, since the public parks are closed at night. Dwarf hasn’t gotten a ticket for sleeping next to the creek in a few months, but then again, some nights he just drinks coffee all night, reading at a bench that he likes near the St Julien Hotel. Some of his colleagues hang out a local hookah bar that stays open until 4 a.m. The parks reopen at 5. One night last week he and another homeless man

living conditions were inferior to his own. “He realizes how good he has it,” Mitchell says. Even certain Boulder cops recognize the role that Dwarf plays. “He cleans up after himself and urges others to clean up as well,” Officer Jenny Paddock says. “He’s always been polite and cooperative with me.” Before his trip to Haiti, Paddock gave Dwarf $20 so he could buy some food and coffee in the airport. He used the money to buy her a Haitian necklace instead, and also brought her a seashell. “That was a pretty cool thing,” she says of the Haiti trip’s effect on Dwarf. “I think that was transformative.” “In some ways, I’m a rich man,” Dwarf says. “I have plenty of friends and family and support. … I wouldn’t change a thing about my life. My cards of fate were played one way.” As the temperature drops and I get up to leave, Dwarf notices that I’ve dropped something. “Don’t forget your gloves,” he says. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com
Cops take various approaches to homeless oulder Police Officer Jenny B Paddock acknowledges that different police officers take different
approaches to the homeless and writing tickets for camping or trespassing, but much depends on their behaviors toward law enforcement as well. Those who are like Dwarf are likely to fare better. “They can get off on the wrong foot with me if they come to town with a bad attitude,” she says. “If you behave yourself and follow the rules, you’re not going to get any problems from us.” When it comes to the homeless, her primary motivation is not to write tickets but to make sure the most vulnerable among them are not putting their lives in danger, Paddock says. “I don’t want somebody freezing to death on my watch,” she says, adding that she’ll check to make sure there Boulder Weekly
aren’t any homeless people “with their boots off in the bandshell, freezing.” Chris Mitchell of Friends Encouraging Eating Daily agrees that officers’ approaches vary, noting that one cop referred to a dead homeless guy as a “bumcicle.” But other times, he says, police call on Dwarf and other homeless people to help keep an eye out for trouble. Once, he says, after being notified by the cops that a transient sexual predator had come to town, some homeless guys “creeked” the individual — threw him into Boulder Creek and told him to get out of town. Another time, Mitchell says, some kids were selling cocaine in the park. “They got run out not by the cops but by the homeless community, because we’ve got people trying to get clean down there,” he says.

wistfully. “Even though I’m a homeless man, I want to be remembered.” Chris Mitchell, who was homeless himself before becoming an advocate for that community and helping found local groups like Friends Encouraging Eating Daily (FEED) and the street outreach group called The God Squad, describes Dwarf as “the elder here in Boulder” when it comes to the homeless community. “He’s a father to a lot of kids on the street,” he says. “When people have problems they come to him because a lot of people respect him in the homeless community, including a lot of these kids. … Anything that goes on in that park, he knows about it. All he cares about in life is his dogs and trying to make the community better.” Mitchell, with the help of the church Creekside, took Dwarf and a few others on a trip to Haiti in February to help construct a new earthquake-resistant community center. They ended up spending most of their time interacting with the Haitian people, and Mitchell says the trip was a powerful experience for Dwarf, because he saw people whose

Hungry for a smarter food system
Organizations strive to alleviate food waste, hungry families by Jessie Lucier
A
t 8:30 a.m. on a chilly December morning outside of Community Food Share, a local food bank just off of Highway 119, people of all shapes, sizes and colors line up with shopping carts waiting for the doors to open so they can acquire the groceries needed to feed their families for the week. Moms comfort still-sleepy children, an older gentleman shifts side to side, trying to shield himself from the early morning wind, and a few singles shuffle their feet and look up at the mountain view. As the doors open, people pull out a card to show at the front. They’re not pulling out ATM or credit cards, but, rather, their IDs. Many of these people visit this location weekly and belong to some of the 1,300 families that Feeding Families, a program run by Community Food Share that focuses on families with children in their schools’ free lunch programs, will help feed this year. Forty percent of all the food produced in the U.S. goes uneaten, resulting in $165 billion a year in waste, according to an August 2012 report by the National Resources Defense Council.

ute food to those in need before it spoils, food banks, food pantries and other nonprofit organizations are working in tandem with national and local grocery stores, restaurants and farms. Locally, organizations like Community Food Share, Emergency Family Assistance Association and Boulder Food Rescue, a nonprofit that was started in 2011 by CU-Boulder students and alumni, work daily to close the food waste gap and get food to the people who need it rather than allow it to go to a landfill. Community Food Share reports redistributing nearly 8 million pounds of food to more than 35,000 individuals each year. Their staff estimates that there are 4,000 local families in need and has plans to move into a larger location in Louisville in early 2013 to increase distribution and add clients. Their capital campaign to finance the new location has been sponsored almost exclusively by independent donors, including an anonymous donation of $2.5 million. Community Food Share acquires food from Feeding America and major retailers like Walmart and Whole Foods and food corporations like WhiteWave Foods, and distributes it to more than 50 other local basic-needs agencies, including the Emergency Family Assistance Association, which also receives the majority of its funding from in-kind — non-food — and individual donations, along with food stuffs gathered at food drives often run by faith organizations, schools and groups like the Girl Scouts. “All these donations, big and small, are so important,” says Liz Rowland, Emergency Family Assistance

Association’s food bank manager. “They all add up and make such a difference in many people’s lives.” In 2012, the Emergency Family Assistance Association estimated supporting 4,540 families and distributing more than 746,547 pounds of food valued at $1,261,664 out of its Boulder Food Bank. While Community Food Share and Emergency Family Assistance
Association mainly distribute canned foods and dairy products, along with whatever produce and meat they can source, Boulder Food Rescue is working with local grocery stores and restaurants to distribute fruits and vegetables that are nearing expiration. Rather than having this food travel to a thirdparty warehouse, like Community Food Share’s, one of their 175 volunteers picks food up on bicycle and pedals it over to recipients who will be able to eat the food immediately. “We started Boulder Food Rescue in order the fill the niche — to help close the gap left by organizations like Community Food Share,” explains Hana Dansky, Boulder Food Rescue’s executive director. “Warehouse systems like those can’t handle soon-to-expire foods. We take the food directly from the donor to the recipient, which expedites the process in order to save the food, like fruits and vegetables that are close to perishing.” Boulder Food Rescue is operated almost entirely by bicycle power, and because food is thrown away just blocks from people who need it, she says, there is little need for cars. “I’m just so grateful,” says Cindy, a 48-year-old newly single mother of two young children and the recipient of food redistributed by the Emergency Family Assistance Association and Community Food Share, who asked that her last name be withheld. “It’s a life transition for me, and I don’t want to feel ashamed, but they’ve given me an opportunity to start over and provide for my children. I can now go to bed at night knowing that my children are not hungry.” Cindy says she left her husband of
13 years last year after he began locking the family’s food in the basement. While he was making roughly $150,000 annually, she says, she was given an allowance of just $250 per month to purchase food and other necessities for herself and her two children. Cindy learned of Emergency Family Assistance Association through the Boulder Valley School District, which has added her children to the free school lunch program. But it’s not just single parents who are in need. “Food needs must be viewed in a larger context,” says Terry Benjamin, Emergency Family Assistance Association’s executive director. “Food needs squeeze people with low income and, increasingly, the middle class. More people need to be calling their representatives and telling them not to cut back on government programs like food stamps. Nonprofits like ours and others just can’t make up the gap.” Community engagement, education and volunteers are also important in making the local food distribution process efficient and effective. “Kids are taking on projects in schools and learning, and people in our community are very generous with their time and resources,” Benjamin says. “These organizations and the volunteers and staff who work at them make such a difference in people’s lives,” says Cindy. “They provide people with the ability to make their lives better, and they do it civilly and graciously. “Because of these organizations, we eat better than we did on $150,000 a year because no food is locked up,” continues Cindy. “I’m treated kindly and respectfully and my kids can go to the fridge and eat whatever they want, whenever they’re hungry.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

doing something that has not been done, seen or climbed by anyone else. From year to year, even from day to day, the ice cracks, splinters, melts and reforms, creating a climb that is unlike the one before — like if a new mountain sprang up every year. “It’s just a different experience. You can think of an untouched, virgin sheet of ice,” Whewell says. “It might be a stretch, but I’d compare it to a climbing gym versus climbing outdoors.” The backcountry ice climber’s ice routes are not hacked out from 500 previous climbers like the routes in an ice park. It is just the climber, the sound of his breathing and the clink of his axe digging into glassy ice. Although the entire surface of an ice wall can potentially be a handhold, that does not make ice climbing any safer than rock climbing. Rock climbers see their world as stable. Each handhold has been used by previous generations of climbers. But no matter how thick the ice or how low the temperature, the ice climbers’ world is volatile, and with each swing of the axe they are reminded that this surface will soon be gone, be it in a few months, a few days or a few hours. With every pick swing and foot-stomp that progresses the ice climber higher, he is destroying the very thing supporting him hundreds, sometimes thousands, of feet in the air. Even in the thickest backcountry ice, air pockets entombed beneath the tranquil surface lie in wait for an unsuspecting climber’s axe to pierce the surface and release the gas in an explosion of icy shards. At any moment, the ice beneath can blow out as the sun and temperature rise. Covered in sharp points, 12 on each shoe and two on each axe, climbers also become a danger to themselves. The first rule in ice climbing is
not to fall. Dan Mottinger almost broke that commandment when leading an ice climb up a vertical ice wall in Cody, Wyo., in 2007. High above the ground and far above where he last anchored the rope with an ice screw, one of his crampons slipped off his heel and dangled on its tether below him. The Rocky Mountain Rescue Group volunteer says he knew just how precarious this situation could be for him and the party he was leading. “It was like climbing with only one leg,” Mottinger says. “And it was amazing how something simple brought me such a scary and dangerous situation.” A common injury among climbers is a broken ankle or leg, because it is not easy for an ice climber to have a clean fall, like rock climbers, who are immediately caught by the end of their rope feet below, dangling like a spider suspended from its silk. A crampon can snag the ice and easily twist a leg or ankle until it snaps. Mottinger speculates that if he had been on a more precarious climb, he might not have been able to complete that route, but carefully and slowly, he was able to crawl into an ice cave to reattach his dangling crampon and resume climbing. Other climbers in 2012 have not been so lucky. Nationally famous ice climber Jack Roberts died after falling 60 feet while climbing Bridal Veil Falls near Telluride in January 2012. In Boulder, where there are few surfaces with ice suitable for climbing, the community is fairly small and the most talented climbers tend to keep to themselves, Boulder resident and professional backcountry guide Andrew Councell explains. “The scene is quiet, unassuming, humble and incredibly badass.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com Boulder Weekly

Facing your neighbors Art exhibit illustrates refugees from Burma in Colorado by Elizabeth Miller
A
group exhibit of mixed media portraits opening at Core New Art Space on Jan. 4 is putting a face on a faceless population in Colorado — groups of refugees from Burma who have arrived in increasing numbers over the last 15 years and been met with all the struggles of strangers in a strange land. Each year, as many as 500 refugees from Burma arrive from camps in the jungles of Thailand, unemployed, uneducated and unable to speak English. Once here, they are moved into apartments on East Colfax and given the chance to start a life in the United States. But starting a life from scratch is hard for anyone, and harder if you don’t have any understanding at all of how the systems around you work — not buses, food stamps or Medicaid. It wouldn’t take much to learn. Just a friendly face to show you around, help you understand that eggs go in the refrigerator and escalators take you all the way to the top if you just stand on that first step. That’s the kind of work Frank Anello Jr., director of Project Worthmore, has been trying to recruit more people to do. But first, he just wants people to see that these refugees are here — some 20,000 to 30,000 refugees live in Denver. Project Worthmore focuses on the 3,000 refugees from Burma living in the city. “We were helping everyone — we were helping Somalians, we were helping Bhutanese people, we were helping the Iraqis, Sudanese people, but what we learned was, it seemed like the people from Burma just had it the hardest,” he says of the early 20 January 3, 2013
years of Project Worthmore, which began as Project such a hard life.’ I could just feel it immediately and DR, or Project Denver Refugees. “I went to the it kind of struck me immediately, why don’t I just camps last year for my first time in November just to paint these people? I’ve always wanted to do somesee what it was like on that side and it’s just a broken thing besides commissions. I just felt like commission place. The people that are there, the camp life, that’s work always kind of fell flat and it was over and done their life.

“Reflexion” by Carmen Melton
“We had no idea of anything about Burma, we didn’t know anything about refugees, especially living in our city,” Anello says of that first encounter with a family from Burma. “What sponsoring a family meant was just sort of walking along side of them, teaching them the ropes, grocery stores and so forth like that, helping their kids in school. So that’s how it all started, and through that we got introduced to a whole new world, like thousands of refugees living in Denver and Aurora that we knew nothing about.” Over the years they’ve become increasingly invested in working with refugees, to the point that Anello quit nursing school to devote more time to Project Worthmore. Many of the 70,000 refugees who arrive in the U.S. each year don’t get much in the way of one-on-one support. They’re added to a stack of a families handled by caseworkers who often don’t have time to talk them through the day-to-day basics. “They’re falling through the cracks in a system that’s really, really broken, so through that we decided we’ve got to figure out a way to help people,” Anello says. A former manager at Watercourse, a vegetarian restaurant in Denver, he turned there and to other restaurants, including Hooked on Colfax and Watercourse’s sister restaurant City O City, to help get the word out to the community. He is sure that there are socially minded people who want to help, but, just like him four years ago, don’t know what the problem is or what to do to help. Or even Boulder Weekly
that there are people just a few miles away, living on East Colfax, which has one of the highest crime rates in Denver, in low-rent apartment buildings that are poorly maintained and often infested with cockroaches and bedbugs. Once here, refugees have six months of benefits and six months before they’re expected to start paying back their airfare, so they’re sometimes as much as $12,000 in debt before they even arrive. That’s a lot to pay back considering that many end up with low-paying jobs such as those in a meat packing plant in Greeley. The work prevents them from having the time to attend free English classes available to them at the Emily Griffith Center — miles down Colfax from their homes on a bus system they’re not familiar with and don’t have enough passes for. And they’re working next to other people who aren’t native English speakers, so learning English is a struggle. What little they knew of the language when they arrived was likely taught in the refugee camps by another refugee or a Thai, and the three-day class they’re given on adjusting to life in America is taught by someone who’s never been to the U.S., Anello says. “I got a phone call this week from a Burmese woman pertaining to Medicaid,” Anello says. “She said through a translator, ‘Can you come help this woman, her child is sick? She’s been sick for a week.’ I said, ‘Well, how long has she been here?’ She came in September, so a couple months, two,
three months now. So I go over there, ‘Do you have Medicaid?’ ‘Yes, we have Medicaid. We don’t know how to use it. We don’t know how to make an appointment.’ So, yes, they get all these benefits, but there’s a language barrier. … It’s great that we give them these things, but what happens when the food stamp card’s not working, or what happens when their child is sick? I mean it’s difficult when you call and you’ve got to press one for English and two for Spanish, you’ve got to press one number to get to this person, and that number to get to another person, and then if you actually get to someone and you don’t speak the language, how do you make an appointment? It’s very difficult. The challenges are one after another.” Anello has ideas for fixing that system — build a cultural center in their neighborhood to support the community-focused culture refugees bring with them from Burma, and waive airfare and extend benefits from the government for a year to allow them to learn English and develop basic street savvy for life in Denver. But for now, it’s just a start to take families in and help them through. He’s seen refugees with mentors blossom into families that can care for and support themselves, and teach us a little bit about their world and their lives. “I want people to know who they are,” Anello says. “I want people to know that they are here to bring a whole new way of living to teach us how to live in community.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com January 3, 2013 21

bandwagon. The song became more than a hit. It was a phenomenon, going number one in 37 countries, including the United States, where it held the top spot on the “Billboard” 100 for nine weeks. “Call Me Maybe” makes a return appearance on Kiss. “Good Time” (which is also on the current Owl City CD, The Midsummer Station) is also featured on Kiss. And the rest of Kiss sticks to the playful dance-pop of those two songs, as Jepsen sings her way through 10 additional tracks that include cheery, up-tempo tunes like “This Kiss,” “Turn Me Up” and “Hurt So Good” and an occasional ballad, like “Beautiful,” which features guest vocals from Bieber. Jepsen’s opening set on Bieber’s “Believe” tour will feature many of the songs from Kiss. While Jepsen said there are a few visual bells and whistles in the show, the focus is on the music Jepsen and her band plays during her set. “We’ve definitely been having a lot of fun creating the show,” Jepsen says. “We really focused in on wanting the music to feel great. So we’ve been perfecting the songs as best we can and making a set list that feels like home.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

O
Antebellum antiheroism
h, Quentin Tarantino, you’ve really done it this time, haven’t you? Nobody really cared when you fantasized that Hitler didn’t end his reign of terror with one last murder (his own), placing therapeutic cinematic release into the hands of machinegun toting Jews blasting the bogeyman back to hell in Inglourious Basterds. But slavery? This ain’t Europe, QT; here in America, we like to judge everyone abroad for their sins and keep ours buried at Wounded Knee and Gettysburg. But there you go, digging up white ghosts and giving a six-shooter to a slave-turned-superhero. While every movie about slavery has the obligatory “face to the camera back whipping scene,” few show a runaway slave pulled apart by dogs, and as far as records indicate, none have cracked open a dead slave’s skull to demonstrate the pseudo-scientific bullshit racists used as a reason to keep other humans as glorified pets. But you? You shove our faces in this, teaching us about “Mandingo fights” in which black men were forced to cockfight to the death. Then, right when we can’t take anymore of this, you paint the screen red with the blood of our sick, evil ancestors. Thank you. Thank you so much. Quickly, the plot: Django ( Jamie Foxx) is a slave recruited by a bounty hunter, who is not accidentally named Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz), to find and kill wanted men that Django can identify but Schultz cannot. They become friends (over a delightfully used Jim Croce song) and Schultz, having freed Django, “feels responsible” for him. As though a white man who once owned a black man owes him more than just emancipation, he owes him equality, which is Boulder Weekly
‘Django Unchained’ is awesome and complicated by Ryan Syrek
not a simple synonym for freedom. Django is seeking his wife, Broomhilda (Kerry Washington), who is owned by Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio). He keeps her at an estate run by an elderly slave named Stephen (Samuel L. Jackson). After a bloody winter together in which Django’s aptitude for righteous violence is more than demonstrated, the bounty hunting duo set their sights on “Candie-land,” and spaghetti-western mayhem ensues. Because “movie stuff ” is the least interesting part of this movie, let’s only briefly mention how this fits into Tarantino’s filmography. Having explored Eastern vengeance (Kill Bill) and European revenge (Inglourious Basterds) he has now added an American perspective, even if some would wish to ignore it. It’s also important to mention that working without his life-long friend and editor, Sally Menkes, who sadly passed away, Django Unchained is easily QT’s messiest film, with fragments of aborted subplots, second-act pacing problems and a few too many indulgences. But the more complicated, more ponderous element is the character of Stephen, whose name resembles Steppin Fetchit for good reason. In some ways, he’s revealed to be more of a villain than the mustache-twirling Candie, which either suggests a paternalistic and condescending view that no matter how evil whites are, blacks are still their own worst enemies or suggests that the worst damage done by slavery was
manipulating a cultural mentality, depending on how much credit you want to give Tarantino. It sure helps there’s no “white messiah” who saves the day… The two best moments, the ones that suggest QT’s sophistication deserves the benefit of our doubt, involve of all people Don Johnson, who plays a plantation owner named “Big Daddy.” In telling one of his servants to treat Django as a free man, the servant asks if she should treat him like a “white person” then. Big Daddy instantly responds in the negative, deciding it’s best to treat him like a mentally challenged white person if anything. Again, Tarantino reiterates the separation between freedom and equality. Oh, and then in the next scene he turns Big Daddy and the entire Ku Klux Klan into emasculated, half-wit cartoon characters. Tarantino again gives us escapist revisionist history that does more to show the vile nature of slavery than anything in recent memory. Spike Lee may claim that Tarantino is using slavery for fun and profit, but like his choice in sports teams, Lee is way wrong. Django Unchained is a fun action movie nestled in a comedy wrapped in an homage to spaghetti westerns. It is more flawed than many of his other films, but it is more ambitious, as above all else this is a violent wake-up call that we cannot wish slavery away from our cultural history. We must own up to it and dream, together, of shooting those sons of bitches from our past right in the face. —This review first appeared in The Reader of Omaha, Neb.

ANNA KARENINA
PG. At Century and Colony Square. — The Reader of Omaha, Neb.
Leo Tolstoy’s classic novel of love and infidelity comes to life thanks to director Joe Wright. A unique narrative device illuminates the theatrical behavior of the randy Russian nobles who can’t seem to help trying to sleep with each other’s spouses. In the end, it’s a costume drama, with a Masterpiece Theatre feel, but fans of the novel and the genre will enjoy this version. Rated R. At Esquire. — The Reader of Omaha, Neb. ARGO Ben Affleck’s latest directing project (in which he also stars) is based on true events from the Iranian revolution in 1979. Militants storm the U.S. embassy and take 52 Americans hostage, but six Americans escape to the home of a Canadian ambassador. A CIA agent comes forward to get them out of the country before they’re found. Rated R. At Colony Square. BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD In a forgotten but defiant bayou community cut off from the rest of the world by a sprawling levee, a 6-year-old girl exists on the brink of orphanhood. Buoyed by her childish optimism and extraordinary imagination, she believes that the natural world is in balance with the universe until a fierce storm changes her reality.

In June 1939 the King and Queen of England were invited to stay overnight at President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s country estate Hyde Park in upstate New York (actually, it’s his mother’s — he just lives there).

THE CENTRAL PARK FIVE
HITCHCOCK
In 1989, five black and Latino teenagers were arrested and charged for brutally attacking and raping a white female jogger in Central Park.

Peter Jackson goes back for an Unexpected Journey that produces expected results, as this adaptation of J.R.R.

JACK REACHER The tough-as-nails main character of 17 Lee Child crime thriller novels is brought to the screen in this film, an adaptation of the book One Shot. The 6-foot-5 protagonist, portrayed by the 5-foot-7 Tom Cruise, uncovers a plot to frame an Army veteran, including clues that might have been left specifically for Reacher to find. Rated PG-13. At Century, Colony Square and Twin Peaks.

LIFE OF PI 3D A storm ravages a boat carrying a zookeeper’s family and menagerie, and the only survivors are the family’s son, Pi, and a Bengal tiger, coyly named Richard Parker.

THE STORY OF FILM: AN ODYSSEY, PARTS 1-2 Guided by film historian Mark Cousins, this is a bold 15-part love letter to the movies. Part 1, “Birth of the Cinema” (1900–1920): Filmed in the buildings where the first movies were made, we see ideas and passion as the driving forces behind film, more so than money and marketing. Part 2, “The Hollywood Dream” (1920s): Star/directors like Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton made Hollywood a glittering entertainment industry. But the gloss and fantasy were challenged by movie makers like Robert Flaherty, Eric Von Stroheim and Carl Theodor Dreyer.

Natural/organic grocer finally sprouts in Longmont by Jefferson Dodge

Jefferson Dodge
t’s been a long time coming, but Longmont finally has its own largescale natural/organic grocer. Sprouts Farmers Market opened its doors this week in the store formerly occupied by Borders on South Hover Road, and it is expected to address a market gap that has been waiting to be filled for years. With the exploding popularity of natural and organic products over the last couple of decades, it only made sense that a store like Alfalfa’s or Whole Foods would make its way to Longmont, given the city’s demographic shift in recent years. Jenny Johnson Now, the increasing of Sprouts slices number of people with blocks of cheese at the new Boulder values who have Longmont store. moved to Longmont for various reasons — financial not the least among awaited development for some, and is them — won’t have to drive to the perhaps another sign that historically People’s Republic for their feel-good conservative, rural Longmont is being groceries. swayed by its hippie big sister to the Sure, Longmont has Natural south.

than three years for Sprouts to find a place to put the store. At one point, a sign saying that the market was “coming soon” was posted at the Twin Peaks Mall, but that deal fell through. Bill Falconer, Sprouts store manager, says grocery store officials weren’t aware at the time of the current plans to raze the current mall and rebuild it in the vein of Twenty Ninth Street in Boulder. Moving into a short-term space and being surrounded by construction didn’t sound like a good option for the store, he explained. Among the other sites considered was a location on Main Street. Sprouts CEO Doug Sanders told BW that the sign placed at Twin Peaks generated a lot of interest and calls from the public inquiring about the timing of the opening, but “it was going to take a while to put all of the pieces together” for the redevelopment of the mall, so Sprouts began to look elsewhere.

y recent fascination with sauerkraut is the product of an infatuation with choucroute garnie, a product of French and German cuisine. The base of this dish consists of sauerkraut and onions typically braised in white wine, although beer and champagne can also serve as a cooking liquid. More complicated versions may include a variety of sausage and varying cuts of pork. Simpler versions that are relatively quick to prepare may involve precooked sausages, including those made from poultry as a healthier alternative. A meatless version using carrots and winter root vegetables, or perhaps a bit of tempeh, could satisfy vegetarian appetites.

I thought it could use a whisper more smoke flavor, but it blended well with the unmistakable sharpness of raw red onion and briny capers. “Moe’s is one of the closest to a New York bagel,” Keith declared while addressing the issue of local options. Reflecting on his toasted poppyseed specimen, he noted, “The crust has substance, almost a bit of crunch. And it’s chewy inside.” While it’s been more than 20 years since I’ve enjoyed a Manhattan example, Moe’s signature creation lines up well with my memories of these doughy treats. The quality of our reasonably priced meal also helped me realize there’s more to this local institution than an on-the-run repast. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

THIS LITTLE PIGGY WENT TO MARKET
You might love bacon. You might get it on burgers, crumbled on your baked potatoes or wrapped around your hot dogs. But did you know that bacon comes from pigs? That’s just one revelation to be found at Lucky’s Market’s pig butchery class, happening 6-8 p.m. Jan. 17. The store’s master butcher, Paul Gingerich, will teach the process of breaking down a pig into primal and individual cuts. The store’s announcement, posted on Facebook, says Gingerich will teach students how to prepare, cook and serve “the hapless porcine,” although being put to educational use is a relatively fortunate end for a pig. Gingerich will also teach the basics of sausage- and bacon-making. The course costs $20. Participants can sign up at the meat department ahead of time for one of the 20 spaces in the class. Each participant will “go home with some portion of the pig for their enjoyment,” Lucky’s says.

Market, was also angling for the Longmont market and had signed a lease to take over the former Borders space. When the two companies merged last spring, Sprouts officials decided that the Borders location was a much better option than the mall, where questions continued to swirl. (All of the Sunflower stores are being renamed Sprouts as a result of the merger.) Sprouts officials say they hope they can attract some of the mainstream grocery stores’ traffic, but also capture customers who are driving to Boulder to shop at Alfalfa’s or Whole Foods. Sprouts also has two locations in Boulder as well as one in Lafayette. “We feel like they’re going to come to us instead of going to Boulder,” Falconer says. “Hopefully we’ll save them the trip,” adds Sanders. Sprouts emphasizes high-quality produce at lower prices than their competitors, Falconer says, adding that the store will match any price set by other grocers.
King Soopers spokesperson Kelli McGannon told BW that company officials don’t comment on their competition, and declined to say whether the arrival of Sprouts would negatively affect King Soopers’ market share in Longmont. “We know customers have a choice on where they shop,” she says. “We work hard every day to earn our customers’ business, and new competition doesn’t change that. We’re still going to have to work hard to earn their business.” “It’s beneficial to any community to see businesses supporting healthy eating habits, especially organic products,” added Nancy Flynn, director of marketing for Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage. “Longmont has been an excellent location for us, and we expect that will continue. Our stores remain successful in areas where a variety of options are available. Shoppers will always compare prices, quality and availability and make their selections accordingly.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com Boulder Weekly

1310 College Ave., Ste. 210, Boulder 303-449-4265
S
haggy’s Famous Poutine brings Canada’s foremost contribution to guilty pleasure chow to Boulder’s University Hill. Poutine is a mix of french fries, gravy and cheese curds. Shaggy’s dishes out filling portions of basic poutine, as well as sophisticated versions featuring jalapeños, chili and guacamole. One offering is the French Tickler, poutine featuring beef gravy and Montreal-style smoked meat.

upscale pudding, have also burnished this eatery’s reputation. First-timers might want to try the Margherita, perhaps the most emblematic of Naples pie, with buffalo milk mozzarella, basil and tomato.
Dizzy’s Donuts 1606 Conestoga St. Boulder 303-494-5331
D
onuts seem to have supplanted cupcakes as the retro sweet of the moment, and Boulder’s Dizzy’s Donuts is riding this wave by offering fresh takes on this pastry. Dizzy’s brews Ozo coffee alongside unique creations like maple bacon donuts. Other new-school selections include S’More and pumpkin cheesecake varieties, although classics like the first-rate apple fritter are more than satisfying.
Kasa Japanese Grill 1468 Pearl St. Boulder 303-938-8888
K
asa Japanese Grill is unmatched in its design aesthetic and hospitable service. This Asian eatery offers all the standbys of Japanese cuisine, including fried tempura options, donburi rice bowls, yakitori skewers, noodles and, of course, sushi. Attention to detail is evident in offerings such as the perfectly steeped Sencha green tea and the agedashi tofu appetizer, and the bento lunches provide fine value.
Colterra
210 Franklin St. Niwot 303-652-0777
L
espite its nondescript 28th Street strip mall location, Tangier Moroccan Cuisine is a sensual delight that makes one feel far from Boulder. Featuring North African specialties, this restaurant also has a visually rich ambience. Can’tmiss dishes include the bastilla, a delightfully flaky savory pie stuffed with either vegetables or chicken, and the flavorpacked couscous selections. Tagines, gluten-free North African stews featuring such intriguing combinations as lamb with apple and apricot.
ow-key and locavore, Niwot’s Colterra spotlights fresh takes on traditional fare in a homey yet elegant setting. Weekend brunch options feature oatmeal, griddle cakes and egg dishes such as a reimagining of
Mediterranean Market 2690 28th St., Boulder 303-448-9552
B
oulder’s Mediterranean Market serves up simple, reasonably priced gyros and falafel near the corner of Bluff and 28th. Both the baba ganoush and hummus feature a remarkably silky texture packed with fresh flavor, and the gyro has a pleasing lamb savor that’s a cut above other versions. Sweets include a flaky, honeyed baklava that surprises with a gentle rosewater accent.
Black Pepper Pho 2770 Pearl St. Boulder 303-440-1948
B
oulder’s Black Pepper Pho is a spruced-up version of the typical Southeast Asian beef noodle soup joint. Boasting a mostly gluten-free menu, this venue dishes out first-class spring rolls and a winning spicy green papaya salad. Pho is available with a half-dozen beef-based variants, as well as chicken, seafood and meatless versions.
Mustard’s Last Stand 1719 Broadway, Boulder 303-444-5841
E
very so often, you just crave a hot dog, and Mustard’s Last Stand is Boulder’s best venue to enjoy authentic Chicago-style sausage. Like the best Windy City dog purveyors, Mustard’s uses natural casing Vienna beef sausages, steamed poppyseed buns and a classic mix of condiments like peppers, celery salt and mustard — ketchup need not apply. Other treats include Italian beef sandwiches, garnished with jus “gravy,” peppers and onions. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com January 3, 2013 39

In 2013, I pledge to conspire with you to increase your mastery of the art of friendship. Together we will concentrate on making you an even stronger ally than you already are. We will upgrade your skill at expressing your feelings with open-hearted clarity, and in ways that don’t make people defensive. We will also inspire you to help others communicate effectively in your presence. I hope you understand that doing this work will empower you to accomplish feats that were never before possible for you.
TAURUS
APRIL 20-MAY 20:
Chickens and alligators share a common ancestor. Seventy million years ago, they were both archosaurs. That’s why chickens possess a gene that has the ability to grow teeth. A few years ago, a biological researcher at the University of Wisconsin managed to activate this capacity, inducing a few mutant chickens to sprout alligator teeth. I predict there will be a metaphorically comparable event happening for you in 2013, Taurus. The “chicken” part of you will acquire some of the gravitas of an alligator.
GEMINI
MAY 21-JUNE 20:
“People wish to learn to swim and at the same time to keep one foot on the ground,” said French novelist Marcel Proust. An attitude like that is always a barrier to growth, of course, but in 2013 it would be especially ill-advised for you Geminis. In order to win full possession of the many blessings that will be offering themselves to you, you will have to give up your solid footing and dive into the depths over and over again. That may sometimes be a bit nerve-racking. But it should also generate the most fun you’ve had in years.
CANCER
JUNE 21-JULY 22:
Here’s the horoscope I hope to be able to write for you a year from now: You escaped the chains that kept you enslaved to your primary source of suffering. You broke the trance it kept you in, and you freed yourself from its demoralizing curse. Now you have forged a resilient new relationship with your primary source of suffering — a relationship that allows you to deal with it only when it’s healthy for you to do so and only when you feel strong enough to do it. Very nicely done! Congratulations! Excellent work!
LEO
JULY 23-AUG. 22:
“In this world,” said Oscar Wilde, “there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.” I’m counting on you to refute the last part of that questionable assertion, Leo. According to my analysis of the long-term astrological omens, you will definitely be getting what you want in the next six months. You will receive your prize … you will earn your badge … you will win a big game or claim your birthright or find your treasure. When that happens, I trust you will make sure it is an enduring blessing. There will be no sadness involved!
VIRGO
AUG. 23-SEPT. 22:
English poet Alfred Tennyson wrote so many memorable lines that he is among the top 10 most frequently cited authors in The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations. One of his most famous passages was “’Tis better to have loved and lost / Than never to have loved at all.” When he was on his deathbed at age 83, his enigmatic last words were, “I have opened it.” Let’s make that declaration your mantra for the coming year, Virgo. In your case, it will have nothing to do with death, but just the opposite. It will be your way of announcing your entrance into a brighter, lustier, more fertile phase of your life. Try saying it right now: “I have opened it!”
LIBRA
SEPT. 23-OCT. 22:
Back in 1830, it was expensive to stay up and do things in your room after dark. To earn enough money to pay for the whale oil that would light your lamp for an hour, you had to work for 5.4 hours. And today? It’s cheaper. You have to put in less than a second of hard labor to afford an hour’s worth of light. I suspect that in 2013 there will be a similar
Boulder Weekly
OCT. 23-NOV. 21:
“I’ve been absolutely terrified every moment of my life,” said Scorpio painter Georgia O’Keeffe, “and I’ve never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.” I think her declaration is excellent medicine for you. In 2013, you will have great potential for upgrading your relationship with your fears — not necessarily suppressing them or smashing them, but rather using them more consistently as a springboard, capitalizing on the emotions they unleash, and riding the power they motivate you to summon.

boost in your ease at getting the light you need to illuminate your journey. I’m speaking metaphorically here, as in the insight that arises from your intuition, the emotional energy that comes from those you care about, and the grace of the Divine Wow. All that good stuff will be increasing.

“Ambition can creep as well as soar,” said Irish philosopher Edmund Burke. That will be good for you to remember throughout 2013, Sagittarius. Later this year, the time may come for your ambition to soar — in the month of April, for example, and again in the month of August. But for the foreseeable future, I think your ambition will operate best if you keep it contained and intense, moving slowly and gradually, attending to the gritty details with supreme focus.
In Tom Robbins’ book Skinny Legs and All, one of the characters, Ellen Cherry, has a conversation with a voice in her head. The voice gives her a piece of advice: “The trick is this: keep your eye on the ball. Even when you can’t see the ball.” I think that happens to be excellent counsel for you to heed during the next six months, Capricorn. You may not always be able to figure out what the hell is going on, but that shouldn’t affect your commitment to doing the right thing. Your job is to keep your own karma clean and pure — and not worry about anyone else’s karma.

I’ll be bold and predict that 2013 will be a time when you’ll discover more about the art of happiness than you have in years. Here are some clues to get you started. 1. “It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.” -Agnes Repplier. 2. “There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things that are beyond the power of our will.” -Epictetus. 3. “For the rational, healthy person, the desire for pleasure is the desire to celebrate his control over reality. For the neurotic, the desire for pleasure is the desire to escape from reality.” -Nathaniel Branden. 4. “Our happiness springs mainly from moderate troubles, which afford the mind a healthful stimulus, and are followed by a reaction which produces a cheerful flow of spirits.” -E. Wigglesworth. 5. “Happiness is essentially a state of going somewhere, wholeheartedly, one-directionally, without regret or reservation.” -William H. Sheldon. 6. “We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about.” -Charles Kingsley.

In 2013, I pledge to help you feel at peace and in love with your body; I will do everything in my power to encourage you to triumph over media-induced delusions that tempt you to wish you were different from who you actually are. My goal is to be one of your resourceful supporters in the coming months — to be a member of your extensive team of allies. And I will be working with you to ensure that this team grows to just the right size and provides you with just the right foundation. If all goes well, your extra help will ensure that you finish almost everything you start in the coming year. You will regularly conquer everyday chaos and be a master of artful resolutions.
