Typically, a factory operation has many thousands of chickens, cows, hogs, turkeys or other animals jammed together in tiny cages and crates that permit little movement beyond eating and defecating. An Ohio egg factory, for example, was found to have four million birds “living” six to a cage.

Really Bad Ideas

by Joel dyer & dave Kirby

I don’t understand why they didn’t buy it!

Taking care of our least fortunate by Dave Anderson

I

n 1992, Rush Limbaugh ridiculed Boulder Mayor Leslie Durgin for saying, “We don’t want to become the kind of community where everyone is white, upper-middle class. ... We really want to have a diverse community.” Limbaugh said she wanted to balance out the “yuppies” by importing “lowerincome black people.” Durgin said she was actually concerned that “people who are working in Boulder can also afford to live in Boulder.” Increasingly, Boulder employees have ended up living in the surrounding “L” towns. About the same time, economist Robert Reich was writing about increasing class segregation in America. The ideal of “community” was being perverted by a “secession of the successful.” Complete strangers in a well-off community can “suddenly feel intense solidarity when it is rumored that low-income housing will be constructed in their midst or that a poorer school district will be consolidated with their own.” Reich said, “If generosity and solidarity end at the border of similarly valued properties, then the most fortunate can be virtuous citizens at little cost. Since most people in one neighborhood or town are equally well off, there is no cause for a guilty conscience. If inhabitants of another area are poorer, let them look to one another. Why should we pay for their schools?” Today the homeless are a focus of controversy. In 2011, George Epp wrote a guest column in the Boulder Camera about “discrimination against the poor in Boulder.” Epp, a retired Boulder County sheriff and a board member of Bridge House (a Boulder day shelter for the homeless), wrote that “[a]ttempts to locate facilities to provide services for the homeless meet with strong, sometimes hysterical opposition. When a homeless person is accused of a crime, news accounts use the term ‘homeless’ or ‘transient’ to describe the person, much the same as the reporters of the 1920s referred to ‘Negroes’ and ‘Italians.’ An irony known to those who work in the nonprofit field is that raising money for homeless animals is far easier than raising money to give a hand up to our homeless brothers and sisters.” He asked how “[h]ow can a community that prides itself on tolerance for diversity be so insensitive to the needs and rights of its least fortunate members?” 8 November 8, 2012

Ultimately, homelessness requires a national solution. According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, an estimated 12 million renter and homeowner households now pay more than 50 percent of their annual incomes for housing. HUD says the generally accepted definition of housing affordability is no more than 30 percent of monthly income going toward housing costs. Families or individuals who pay more than 30 percent of their income for housing are considered “cost-burdened” and can have difficulty affording necessities such as food, clothing, transportation and medical care. From Reagan onward, the federal government has pretty much abandoned any role in providing housing assistance to low-income Americans. The “social safety net” has been shredded. For 30 years, we have suffered a rampant growth in income inequality created by “neo-liberal” government policies of deregulation, regressive tax cuts and union-busting. Fifty years ago, America was more optimistic. A best-selling book called The Other America by Michael Harrington helped inspire the Kennedy/ Johnson “War on Poverty.” It was quite successful. The proportion of people living in poverty dropped from 1 in 6 (1965) to 1 in 9 (1978). The War on Poverty created Medicare and it doubled Social Security payments and indexed them to inflation so that as inflation rose, Social Security benefits would also increase. As a result, poverty rates among the elderly dropped from 30 percent in 1962 to only 9 percent today. Harrington advocated much more sweeping reforms, particularly public works programs such as the New Deal’s Works Progress Administration and Civilian Conservation Corps. He said we can’t abolish poverty until a vast grassroots movement arises and we have a “new period of political creativity.” We need to look beyond the New Deal and consider alternative ways of running an economy. Socialism? Why not? Any good proposal that even mildly limits corporate power gets labeled “socialist.” The Cold War is over. The taboo against discussing socialist ideas has crippled mainstream politics. Anderson is a retired CU librarian and member of Democratic Socialists of America.

commentary Dems win pretty much everything, so now what? by Elizabeth Miller

W

hile President Barack Obama was still waiting for the phone call from Gov. Mitt Romney conceding the presidential race, Democrats in Colorado were celebrating victories here that make our swing state seem more like a Democratic stronghold. The Colorado House and Senate both emerge from Election Day with Democratic majorities. “We’ve all been working for weeks and weeks and months and months to get where we are tonight — where we can celebrate,” incumbent Rep. Claire Levy (D-Boulder), who won her race for House District 13 handily against Republican Adam Ochs, said in a speech at the Democratic election night watch party at the Boulder Theater on Nov. 6. The results around the state and the wave that was crossing the nation, she says, indicate that “hope beats cynicism and the truth beats lies.” Of course, to get out of the gridlock that’s gripped politics these past four years, legislators will have to set such partisan stereotyping aside. Rep. Dickey Lee Hullinghorst (D-Boulder), who defeated her Republican challenger, will become majority leader as Democrats reverse the narrow majority Republicans held in the State House. Colorado’s state Senate will also see Democrats in the majority and State

Sen. Rollie Heath (D-Boulder), who successfully defended his seat against Republican Barry Thoma, says his top priorities will be civil unions and an asset bill, as well as his continued focus on funding for education. Democrat Dianne Primavera, who lost the race for State Representative for District 33 in Broomfield two years ago by 314 votes after what she described as a “horrific smear campaign,” also saw victory Tuesday night over Republican David Pigott. “This race was about making sure that we kept things positive,” says Rep. Jonathan Singer (D-Lyons), who also won his race against Republican challenger Ellyn Hilliard. Singer was in a suit and tie at the Democrat’s watch party at Boulder Theater on Tuesday night, and said he’s not going to take his tie off and stop working until the civil unions bill passes. The civil unions bill died in May 2012 when the State Speaker of the House Frank McNulty (R-Highlands Ranch) refused to introduce the bill before the conclusion of the legislative session, instead referring it to a kill committee during a special session, though it appeared there was sufficient support among legislators to pass the bill. Losing the majority in the House will put a Democrat in that seat and could lead to a swift introduction of a civil unions bill. see DEMS WIN Page 11

PROTESTS OF THE WEEK There are a couple of hot protesting opportunities this week that any cardcarrying lefty activist won’t want to miss. First, on Saturday the 10th, there will be a “Stop Walmart in Boulder” rally beginning at 11 a.m. on the Pearl Street Mall, in front of the county courthouse. Word on the street is that Walmart is opening a store in the Diagonal Plaza near the intersection of 30th and Iris. Talk about the antithesis of Boulder. We can’t think of a better way to stymie the continuing effort to support independent, locally owned businesses than by having infamous local business killer Walmart descend on us. The other sign-waving opportunity this week arrives on Tuesday the 13th, when the Boulder County commissioners take up the fracking issue. The county is considering a host of ways to regulate oil and gas operations, which includes hydraulic fracturing, and this public hearing will be a fine opportunity to make your voice heard. If you can’t make it, you can send comments to commissioners@bouldercounty.org. Considering how much the commissioners were swayed by that fake “grassroots” effort by big-ag companies stumping for the growth of genetically modified crops on public open space, the role of local activism and protest can’t be underestimated. These events are definitely worth getting off the couch for. STRANGE BEDFELLOWS We thought it would be a cold day in hell when we’d see a Republican CU president laud anything done by a Democratic governor, but indeed, Bruce Benson is lauding John Hickenlooper for proposing a budget that includes an infusion of new money for higher ed. Then again, they are both oil men, and old Hick sometimes forgets he’s a Dem. Benson issued a press release patting Frackinlooper on the back for recommending a $30 million increase in state funding for colleges and universities, and the CU system’s share of that would be about $9 million. Hey, maybe all of that oil and gas revenue is finally paying off if Hick is feeling pretty flush. Still, it makes us pine for the good old days when former CU President Betsy Hoffman and former gubna Bill Owens were at each others’ throats. All kidding aside, it’s about time a governor realized the crucial role that higher ed plays in jump-starting an economy. Maybe the ever-tightening financial noose around the necks of CU and other Colorado universities is starting to loosen. FOX NEWS MORE THAN A LITTLE OFF-BALANCE For the gullible: “Fair and balanced” is just a slogan, not a promise. Oh, and it’s complete crap. Just to prove the point, network news giant Fox News stomped all over the spirit of its slogan as this election season wound down. The Rupert Murdoch-owned channel, as conservative as it is white, gave Republican Gov. Mitt Romney a massive amount of airtime compared to President Barack Obama, a study from Media Matters found. The network dedicated an incredible 168 minutes over four days, Nov. 1-4, to Romney. In the same span Obama got less than half an hour — 27 minutes. Fox News showed the challenger for six times longer than it did the president. And in the final 24 hours of that span, from 5 p.m. on Nov. 3 to 5 p.m. on Nov. 4, Romney appeared on Fox News for almost an hour and a half, 84 minutes. Obama got nine. And this isn’t critical coverage, like what a real news outlet would do. Media Matters measured the amount of time given to the candidates’ speeches. But, apologists say, Fox News is just counteracting that dang ol’ liberal media. Sure, the same way an atomic bomb counteracts a sparkler. CNN and MSNBC showed Obama a little more — CNN’s numbers were 66-53 Obama, MSNBC 79-44 Obama. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

LETTERS from Page 7

Rotten Danish

You really have to kind of pity Paul Danish. Later in life, after careers spent alternately spewing liberal opinions while posing as a Democrat and feeding at the public trough, then spurning those views and the record of his political career to become a fiercely libertarian pundit, he has paradoxically wound up as an anti-regulation oil industry apologist who must privately hate himself for DEMS WIN from Page 11

“I will be surprised if civil unions don’t pass in the first month,” says Matt Jones (D-Louisville), who defeated Charlie Plagainos in the race for State Senate District 17, which includes Louisville, Lafayette, Superior and Longmont, and will replace State Senate President Brandon Shaffer, who lost his bid for Congressional District 4 to incumbent Rep. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.). Other issues Democratic representatives and senators mentioned taking on this session include renewable energy, voter suppression laws, clean energy jobs, schools and fracking. Speaking of winning everything, Longmont’s Ballot Question 300, which puts a ban on fracking in that city’s charter, also passed, as did Amendment 64, which legalizes the possession of less than one ounce of marijuana. In contrast to the increasingly progressive will of the voters, Gov. John Hickenlooper’s office is emerging now as the most conservative institution in the state. The governor told The Washington Post that while he respects the will of the voters, “federal law still says marijuana is an illegal drug so don’t break out the Cheetos or Gold Fish too quickly.” On election night he made it clear he was more interested in working with the Feds to challenge Amendment 64 than fighting the federal government on behalf of the majority of Colorado citizens who supported its passage. Hickenlooper has also already cautioned Longmont residents that their ban on fracking would incur lawsuits and claims for value lost to the mineral rights owners who would otherwise have used fracking to access oil and gas reserves. For those eager to let the governor know just what they think about his recent deafness to the majority of Colorado voters, Hickenlooper’s name will be on the ballot in 2014. Perhaps he’ll see about getting his hearing back before then. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com Boulder Weekly

his complete hypocrisy. One thinks of the two-faced Roman god Janus. Only more bitter … In the Aug. 23 Weekly (“The toxic hell of fracking [children welcome],” Danish Plan), this deeply conflicted person disguises his latest screed about the wonders of fracking as an ad hominem attack on any who disagree with him — even to the point of accusing protesters of “using” their children (who, after all, will be the ones most likely to suffer long-term negative

effects of fracking and have every right to have their own opinions) sandwiched between a letter from Gregory Iwan, who actually has some of the qualifications to comment on fracking, which Mr. Danish lacks, an article about present and future anti-fracking efforts in the area, and an article about potential (as yet unproven, but definitely possible) leaching of fluids from the Marcellus Shale formation into groundwater in Pennsylvania.

BACKDOOR BUFF BUCKS CU football players continued to collect scholarship money despite run-ins with the law

by David Accomazzo and Jefferson Dodge

L

ynn Katoa was a four-star football prospect coming out of his senior year in high school in 2007, a

major recruiting coup for head coach Dan Hawkins and assistant Brian Cabral. But success on the playing field would never materialize for the star high school linebacker. Almost immediately after enrolling, he was arrested under allegations that he assaulted a non-athlete student with a rock. He was charged with assault and suspended from the university for the fall 2008 semester, which would have been his freshman year. He continued to do poorly in school and could not regain academic eligibility. He left the school without even playing a down.

Katoa was the recipient of the Presidential Scholarship II, a piece of financial aid for out-of-state student-athletes with very specific criteria that must be met before being renewed. The man in charge of renewing that scholarship was then-head coach Dan Hawkins,

who, despite the appearance that Katoa failed to meet the scholarship requirements, seems to have renewed Katoa’s award after the player returned from his initial suspension. There are several other instances where Hawkins apparently renewed scholarships for troubled football players, despite circumstances that suggested the players did not meet the minimum requirements. At the time, the Presidential Scholarship was funded by the university’s general fund and the University Initiatives Fund in the CU president’s office, not the athletics department, raising questions about whether taxpayer money was being used to fund scholarships for delinquent outof-state athletes. Former CU President Hank Brown created the Presidential Scholarship in 2006. Brown gave the chancellor of each campus some flexibility in how the program would be administered, and at CU-Boulder it was originally intended to be offered to the top 5 percent of the incoming nonresident freshman class, based on their GPA, class rank and test scores. Another 20 scholarships were reserved for student-athletes, in what would become a separate offering with its own criteria essentially identical to that of a standard scholarship provided by the athletics department. Student-athletes only had to maintain “good academic standing” as defined by the NCAA, which at CU ranges from 1.8 to 2.0, while non-athletes had to have a minimum GPA of 2.75. The award amount for both athletics and academics was set at $40,000 ($10,000 a year for four years), though the amount given to academic scholars would increase to $55,000 ($15,000 a year for the first two years and $12,500 a year for the second two years) in 2009. The standards for the academic version of the scholarship appear to have been upheld strictly. In one case, redacted documentation provided to BW shows that a student whose GPA dropped four onehundredths of a percent below the minimum lost the academic scholarship permanently. The standards for the athletic version of the scholarship don’t seem to have been as stringently enforced. The Presidential Scholarship program seems to be run more even-handedly at CU-Colorado Springs (UCCS) than at the Boulder campus. Jennifer Fisher, assistant director of scholarship programs, says that at UCCS, the minimum GPA that Presidential Scholars must maintain is the same for athletes as it is for non-athletes: 2.75. The scholarships rotate around the various UCCS sports, and Presidential Scholars who do dip below the minimum GPA have one semester of probation to bring their grades up, or they lose the award, she says. The form letters sent to non-athletes by the CU-Boulder chancellor described the honor as “the university’s largest and most prestigious scholarship award.” It was to be given to students who not only demonstrated a special talent or skill, but who maintained a minimum GPA and who remained continuously enrolled at CU (at least 12 credit hours a semester). In the case of athletes, the scholarship rules for CU-Boulder also required recipients to “demonstrate commitment to excellence” and remain Boulder Weekly

from the university treasury. It is public money, not private donations like the funds held in the CU Foundation, and presidents have used it to fund pet projects for years, with the approval of the Board of Regents. In an interview with BW about the intent of the Presidential Scholarship, Brown initially described the program as part of the effort to bail the athletics department out of its financial hole. But then he corrected himself, saying he was thinking of a different effort and clarifying that it was not intended solely for athletics, “it was to recognize exceptional students who made contributions to the university.” When advised that athletes not only had a lower bar than the general campus in terms of the minimum grade point average required to keep receiving the scholarship, but that certain athletes continued to get the money even after failing to reach that lower bar, Brown initially argued that football players were held to a higher standard than the general campus. But he also expressed reserved concern. “Obviously, to get the scholarship, they should have maintained that [minimum GPA],” he says. “Without knowing what the people who administered it came up with, you know, I haven’t been involved in it, the awarding of it, but my recollection is that minimum academic achievement was part of the prerequisites and one of the requirements to get it.” He added, however, that he didn’t want to come across as lambasting something that has gone on under the watch of current CU President Bruce Benson. “I don’t want to sound like I’m criticizing Bruce, but I can say clearly, to receive the scholarship, you should meet the minimum academic requirements,” Brown says. “It’s bizarre that they would — it’s hard to figure out what they were thinking of, isn’t it?” And when told about the football players who have violated the terms of the scholarship and yet continued to receive it, Brown said there may have been problems in the way the program was implemented, despite his original intent. “Obviously if the question is should you follow the rules, absolutely,” he says. “It strikes me you’re on to quite a story; if I were you, I’d be checking with [Athletic Director] Mike Bohn, because obviously that’s something that ought to be looked into. “You set ground rules on those things,” Brown continues. “As far as I know, those ground rules should still be in place. If there’s a problem, as we’ve talked about in these areas, it would fall in the area of someone not enforcing the rules.” Bohn could not be reached for comment before press time. Benson’s spokesperson, Ken McConnellogue, said he’s certain that Benson is not familiar with the scholarship. •••• The program was renamed the “Athletic UCB Merit Scholarship” in 2009, according to CU spokesperson Hilliard. And the president’s office stopped contributing to the scholarship in 2010. It is now funded solely by the campus to the tune of $1 million (100 scholarships) a year, Hilliard says, representing about 25 percent of the athletBoulder Weekly

ics department’s total scholarship budget. Despite the fact that the regents originally approved the Presidential Scholars as a single systemwide program as proposed by Brown, Hilliard stressed that at the Boulder campus, the two versions of what was known as the Presidential Scholarship have always had different criteria, and that the athletics version has no minimum academic standards that student athletes must comply with. They only need to be nonresidents and athletes, according to Hilliard. But one of CU’s own documents clearly states that the award may be renewed for up to four years, “provided the student-athlete continues to demonstrate commitment to excellence” by fulfilling a list of requirements, including maintaining full-time enrollment, being in good academic standing in the eyes of the NCAA (the 2.0 minimum GPA), and remaining “actively and positively involved in CU’s athletics program.” When the regents approved the scholarship in 2005, they did so under the conditions that recipients would “continue to demonstrate adequate progress and commitment to excellence according to criteria established by the Chancellor of each campus,” according to minutes from the December 2005 meeting. Hilliard says that while he can’t discuss individual student cases, a student-athlete would normally keep receiving the scholarship until he or she was no longer enrolled. “My understanding is that the student would continue to receive the scholarship until such time as that individual was actually disenrolled from the university proper,” he says. Hilliard says that there’s no objective way to determine whether Boulder Weekly

a player meets the more open-ended criteria for renewal of the scholarship, such as remaining actively and positively involved in CU’s athletics program. “That’s a matter of opinion,” he says. “The determination of the player’s eligibility is made by the coach.” The university examines athletes’ eligibility for the scholarship each semester, Hilliard says. He explains that Dee Menzies, CU’s associate registrar for regulatory compliance, sends paperwork about athletes’ eligibility to the head coach of the football team, who then makes the determination on whether to continue the player’s scholarship. In the cases of Katoa, Sipili, Vaiomounga and Maiava, that person would have been Dan Hawkins, the head football coach fired in 2010 after compiling a 19-39 record at CU. The final decision about determining their eligibility for the scholarship, which is based on criteria like achieving academic progress toward a degree, being in good academic standing and remaining actively and positively involved in the program, was in Hawkins’ hands. “The coach makes the determination [whether to terminate the scholarship] based on the information he receives,” Hilliard says. “The coach might say, ‘Oh, this guy stumbled in his positive contribution to the team, but in these other areas he’s eligible.’ … If you’ve got six of the seven [criteria] that you’re good on, the coach can make the determination that you’re on a positive trajectory in some way and you’re eligible to receive the scholarship. “He has to get that feedback from Dee’s office on the basic numbers … and then he has to make a

For the last two decades, revenue from the Colorado Lottery has been used to build parks and trails, create open space and protect wildlife habitat. This month, Great Outdoors Colorado, which was created in 1992 when Colorado voters directed lottery revenues to go toward those projects — rather than the federal buildings, including prisons, they’d been paying for before then — is celebrating that anniversary. “Effectively all lottery goes to protecting natural heritage,” says renowned landscape photographer John Fielder, one of the founders and a former member of the governor-appointed board for Great Outdoors Colorado. “It’s had a massive impact on recreation and outdoors in Colorado.” Between 1994 and 2011, GOCO awarded $715 million for almost 3,500

projects throughout the state. They’ve built or restored nearly 720 miles of trails, protected 837,000 acres of open space and created or enhanced 1,172 parks and outdoor recreation areas, in addition to running the Colorado Youth Corps Association to give young people experience in the outdoors, enhancing wildlife habitat and conducting the state’s first inventory of open space. Projects in Boulder County alone have received $15.4 million. When Larimer County hired a crew to spend two weeks removing the invasive Siberian elm trees from River Bluffs Open Space outside Windsor, the $19,450 grant to pay for the Larimer County Conservation Corp, one of the nine youth corps in the state employing and training people ages 14 to 24, came from Great Outdoors Colorado.

of the $1.82 million purchase of the land that is now the River Bluffs Open Space itself, in fact, came from GOCO. The Ouray Ice Park, the 24-acre park beloved of ice-climbers around the world, is now solely owned by the City of Ouray after a $193,000 grant from GOCO was awarded to the city. The list goes on. “What GOCO really does is it provides recreational and outdoor opportunities for people in any place, whether out in the country or in the middle of the city, and opportunities right out their back door, whether it’s big county open spaces or just swing sets and playgrounds and ball fields, which lottery invests in more than they do ranches and open space,” Fielder says. But not everything GOCO pays for

GROUPS TAKE LEGAL ACTION TO PROTECT HAWAII’S REEF ECOSYSTEM

Earthjustice, a non-profit public interest law organization that works to protect the environment, filed a complaint on Oct. 24 to require the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources to protect Hawaii’s reefs and coastal areas from unlimited collection of fish and other wildlife for the aquarium trade. Every year, aquarium collectors catch hundreds of thousands of wildlife from Hawaii’s reef, according to the com-

Migratory creatures like elk and deer pretty much live in those ranch meadows in the winter, and we count on that land being open and available for that purpose,” Fielder says. “Lottery invests in wildlife habitat — effectively, biodiversity — and lottery tries to connect private lands with public lands to have a bigger space for wildlife habitat and that works.” When the initial campaign to create GOCO was being launched by former See GOCO Page 20

plaint. The Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources has stated that this is just a minimum estimate because it does not validate the accuracy of catch reports submitted. Presently, there is no limit on the number of aquarium permits the department can issue and neither is there a limit on the number of animals an aquarium collector can take under one permit. The complaint aims to obtain a court order to force the state to comply with the Hawaii Environmental Policy Act’s requirement to assess the effects of aquarium collecting before issuing collection permits. — Adelina Shee

hutan is not an easy place to get to, or to get around in. Just getting to Bhutan costs a small fortune, but for Clyda Stafford, the price was worth it. According to the Tourism Council of Bhutan’s website, Bhutan’s national airline — in fact, its only airline ­— is Druk Air. From Bangkok, Thailand, to Paro, Bhutan, round-trip flights for the three-hour journey can cost upwards of $875, not including the plane ticket to Bangkok and back. One Nepalese Airline, Buddha Air, now flies to Bhutan as well. To get into 1Bhutan, the 2:37 Tourism Council says, travelers rudy.bw.ws.revised06.12.pdf 6/19/12 PM

must purchase a visa through the capital city of Thimphu, but because of the country’s strict tourism laws, visas are only issued to visitors booked through a local licensed tour operator directly through a foreign travel agency. Every visitor during the high season pays a mandatory $250-per-day tariff, which, according to the Council’s website, pays for hotel stays, a van, a driver and a guide, and cultural activities and treks. During the low season, the tariff drops to $200. Stafford recounts her landing at the airport in Bhutan as an obstacle in itself. The plane approached the airport through a valley, she says, then had to quickly lose elevation

as it dipped between two mountains and sharply turned a corner. All of this is done purely by sight. The Tourism Council reports that Druk Air has just two airbuses in its fleet, so reservations must be made well ahead of time, and if the weather is bad, they simply don’t fly. According to the Royal Geography Society, during monsoon season, Stafford could have been stranded at the airport for days. Bhutan’s lateral highway runs from east to west across the entire Connecticut-sized nation. It is narrow and broken and weaves in and out of the numerous tiny villages that dot the Bhutanese Himalaya. Seat belts, Stafford notes, are not a common accessory. This road is roughly 300 miles long, and according to Stafford, guides told her it can take up to three days to drive in its entirety — longer if they run into a landslide. And yet, Stafford, a former English teacher, frequent traveler and veteran mountaineer, calls it her favorite place to visit. “It was like stepping back into centuries ago, into a long-lost world and a long-lost culture,” Stafford says. “Bhutan is dubbed the last Shangri La and it really is. It’s an otherworldly experience from the moment you land at the airport until the moment you leave.” Stafford and her small group of five Boulder locals didn’t just see Bhutan, they trekked it. Their 19-day trip began almost immediately, with an eight-day hike up to the base camp of Jomolhari, the 24,000-foot mountain that straddles the border between Tibet and Bhutan.

The trek would take the group about half the distance up the mountain, but despite the aches in their knees, they sought higher elevations for the chance to take in just a bit more of the incredibly diverse ecosystem and the newly blossoming rhododendrons. Her mind, and her camera, paint a picture of the moment she first glimpsed the freshly snow-capped peak. “These trails have been trade routes for centuries, and there’s no maintenance, and it’s just a jumble of big boulders and you’re picking your way up the trails,” Stafford says. “We got to the high camp on our last day. That night it was clear. You get there and you turn to the left and here’s this 24,000-foot peak looking right at you, and it was really beautiful.” For Stafford, the influence of Buddhism and the way it has carved out well-respected leadership in Bhutan has led to a deeply connected and strongly protected culture. Without hesitation, Stafford recalls her favorite moment of the trip, a peek into the Punakha Dzong. Cameras aren’t allowed in monasteries, for fear that

the sacred photos might be thrown away, but Stafford’s recollection of the image is unfaltering. “It was a huge interior temple. There were probably a hundred monks, young and old, mostly young, sitting in rows inside this temple,” she says. “And this temple is just covered with tapestries and paintings, and all around incense is burning, and there were nooks and crannies and little altars, and they were chanting. Oh, it was just like stepping back in time because you know they’ve been doing that exact same thing for centuries. It was just marvelous.” From a distance, such untouchable ancient traditions seem to shroud the people and their country in mystique. But when she was invited into the home of the head Lama in the Ura district of Bumthang, Stafford says, she became a part of that culture, if only briefly, wearing traditional gho and kira and taking part in Ura Tsetchu, an elaborate local festival. “The Bhutanese people are very friendly and warm, even up in the highest parts of the Himalayan valleys,” she says. “Of course, they have so little physical comfort, but they want people to come into their homes and they’re willing to share. … We were stopped in this small town and it suddenly struck me that we had been in that country for about two weeks, and I had never heard a single person raise their voice. Not even the children.” Bhutan is a land steeped in tradition, in many ways unchanged from centuries ago. Yet elements of the modern world have found their way into the somehow solid yet constantly evolving country.

In fact, Stafford says she would love nothing more than to meet the burdens of travelling to Bhutan again. “A trip like that is just long enough if a person really enjoys getting to know another country; a tour is just a flavor that makes you more interested,” she says. “It’s the tantalizing experience that makes you want to stay.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com Clyda Stafford will give a presentation on her trip to Bhutan, the Land of the Thunder Dragon, at 7 p.m. Nov. 13 at Changes in Latitude Travel Store, 2525 Arapahoe Ave., Boulder.

Stafford recalls seeing a mix of Western and traditional clothing, brand-new sedans parked in front of modest homes high atop the Himalayas, and even monks texting. The change is seen in both culture and government. Bhutan’s king has become a figurehead, in favor of a two-party parliamentary democracy that began with the country’s first elections in March 2008. This balancing act is the very reason that Bhutan places such careful controls on tourism. The system is one Stafford admires and appreciates rather than resents. “You have this country that has one foot firmly planted in that centuriesold tradition and the other foot in the

Although the band originated with Lande laying down some funky bass lines to play with his son Otis, Funko Moderno uses a combination of composition and improvisational freedom where everyone participates. Papa Lande, a pianist by trade, leads from behind his drum kit. “It’s kind of crazy. There’s all this intersection. Sometimes we all play one part, and sometimes everybody’s playing different things even at different speeds. It’s that intersection of humor and serious music in a way, with kind of ferent genres; unable to pin down to funky, basic rhythms and melodies that one.

The room sounds different and the feeling of the audience is different,” Lande says. Funko Moderno will open their culture to all who show up to Absolute Vinyl Records & Stereo on Nov. 9. Storeowner Doug Gaddy will collect donations for the band, but he says he would understand if you just wanted to show up to support the local scene. “I’m for the underdog,” Gaddy says of his small venue on Arapahoe Avenue. “We wanted a place in Boulder to stage local bands comfortably, in front of a receptive audience.” Lande appreciates the integrity of his adopted home. Despite world travel and commercial opportunities elsewhere, Boulder suits the man who never wants to grow up just fine. “I can go deeper here with the people,” Lande says. “We go deep and we’re friends. There’s more space to explore things in depth instead of just producing a lot of stuff.” Besides that, there is always the ‘tree falls’ logic of living in land-locked Colorado. “Nobody cares what we do out here, so we can do what we really want to do,” Lande says.

ynthia Katsarellis likes to travel. In fact, the director of the Pro Musica Colorado chamber orchestra likes travel so much that she has organized the group’s 2012-13 season as a series of musical journeys, starting with “Mozart Travels to London” Friday and Saturday in Denver and Boulder. Upcoming concerts will be “Mendelssohn goes to Scotland” (Feb. 1-2) and “The Road Home” (April 12-13). “I’ve always been fascinated by the journeys of composers,” Katsarellis says. “Bach walking all that way to hear Buxtehude” — a prominent older composer and organist who was giving concerts about 250 miles from where Bach lived as a young man — “I found that to be really amazing, and how much Baroque composers knew about each others’ music, despite not having the Internet or fast travel.” Such stories from the past, combined with Katsarellis’ own professional and personal travels around the world, gave her the idea for the concert series. “I spend about three months of the year outside the country, and I’ve thought a lot about how formative that is,” she says. “It inspired me to think even more, in two ways actually, about the journeys. “No. 1 is real journeys of composers and how they’ve influenced each other. [No. 2], I believe that listening to great music can be likened to taking a journey. You know, I think that great, great music can carry you on a human journey like that, in a metaphorical but deeply meaningful way.” Mozart’s trip to London in 1764-65 is a fitting place for Pro Musica Colorado to start its season of musical journeys. Not only is Mozart a staple of the group’s repertoire, this is likely one of the most important journeys in all of music history. Mozart was just 8 when he arrived in London with his family, on a threeyear tour that included stops in Paris, Brussels and Munich. This particular journey has a special place in history because the experiences on the tour gave the young composer an extraordinary set of compositional tools.

Katsarellis says. Two works Colorado performs at St. Paul on the program Lutheran Church in Denver on Friday, Nov. 9, and at First United represent the Methodist Church in Boulder on relationship Saturday, Nov. 10. Tickets are $18 in between the two: advance, $20 at the door, $5 for students. For more information, visit J.C. Bach’s bit.ly/MozartJourneys. Sinfonia in G minor, a work that Mozart could have heard while he was in London and that likely influenced his later symphonies in the same key; and Mozart’s Piano Concerto in E-flat, K. 271, the young composer’s first great concerto, written in Salzburg several years after the visit to London. “The concerto is a work of incredible invention,” Katsarellis says. “It’s just magnificently charming and inventive. It’s a great piece and we’ll be so excited to do it with [pianist] David Korevaar, because he’s a great collaborator.” Bach and Mozart make up one half of Pro Musica Colorado’s opening program for the season. The other half takes the performing tradition Mozart encountered in London — public concerts featuring virtuoso orchestras and soloists playing to large paying audiences “No composer was better travelled than the young — into the 20th century with Edward Elgar’s Mozart,” Katsarellis explains. “His father took him “Introduction and Allegro for String Quartet and around not only to show off the young prodigy, but also String Orchestra,” and Benjamin Britten’s “Simple so that the young Mozart could learn about all the Symphony.” compositional styles of all the places that they went to. “I definitely see the Elgar and the Britten pieces as So he was about as learned as you could get.” part of that legacy,” Katsarellis says. “We can’t fill in all That understanding of styles from all across Europe the gaps of the legacy in one program, but Elgar wrote is one of the traits that mark Mozart’s mature style. his ‘Introduction and Allegro’ for the virtuoso string London was especially important for the young section of the London Symphony, and then there’s Mozart. It was there that he first experienced a vibrant Britten with his not-so-‘Simple Symphony.’” musical life centered on public concerts.

he year is 2243. The Philadelphia Eagles have just won their first Super Bowl. And much to everyone’s surprise, God himself decides to take a leisurely stroll down 5th Avenue in New York City (now known as Little Beijing) with his arm ensconced firmly in the backside of the corpse of Charles Darwin. Using Darwin as possibly the most disconcerting hand puppet in history, God makes Darwin mouth his theory of evolution like some sort of divine Jeff Dunham. Even if such an unprecedented, incontrovertible turn of events were to occur, it is likely Ryan Wuestawald and Emily Paton Davies, as a young creationist student and an empirical science teacher, are the lens through which the Boulder Ensemble Theatre Company explores the divide between religion and science. that the debate about religion versus science would continue, at least in some circles, unabatOne man marveled at the idea that the fossil record ed.

Will the real Bond please stand up?

Daniel Craig finally nails spy’s character in ‘Skyfall’ by Dave Taylor

8-bit-o’-honey

‘Wreck-It Ralph’ is sticky sweet by
Ryan Syrek

F

or a generation weaned on more Mario than Mother Goose, Wreck-It Ralph has been a long time coming. An 8-bit fairy tale with a burly bruiser in the role of the misunderstood princess, it skews a tad more prepubescent than Pixar but shares similar DNA. Writers Jennifer Lee and Phil Johnston won’t be unlocking any bonus levels for originality, with a conceit that feels poached from Toy Story and a take-home message espoused by almost every kid-targeted piece of entertainment in the last half-century. But with boundless energy and enough saccharine sentiment to win an entire cupcake crusade, let alone a mere war, Wreck-It Ralph is basically calorie-free comfort food. Set in an arcade where the characters in the games come to life when nobody’s watching, the film follows Wreck-It Ralph ( John C. Reilly), who is basically Donkey Kong without the hair and plumber problem. His “job” is to smash the crap out of a building so that Fix-It Felix ( Jack McBrayer) can use his magic hammer to do repairs. Only Ralph is in the midst of a pixelated existential crisis, no longer wanting to cause mayhem and destruction but create unity and joy. Despite AA-style self-help meetings designed for “bad guys” to not feel like bad guys, Ralph is forlorn. So he “game hops” in search of accolades to prove his worth, landing in “Heroes’ Duty,” a first-person shooter led by a no-nonsense gal named Calhoun ( Jane Lynch). By accident, Ralph winds up in “Sugar Rush,” a kartracing game inhabited by a spunky kid named Vanellope (Sarah Silverman). 42 November 8, 2012

Before you can say “awkward friendship,” Ralph finds himself helping Vanellope battle King Candy (Alan Tudyk) while Felix and Calhoun fight the alien menace that accidentally followed the characters to the childlike racing game. The soul-searching quest for identity moves at a relentless pace, only pressing pause for “duty vs. doody” jokes. Director Rich Moore snaps off the gearshift at its high point, never letting the film rest, which works perfectly in a film targeted to kids who grew up with fruit-fly attention spans. There is no sophistication or depth to Ralph’s “find my place in the world” struggles, nor to the copious bodily function jokes, which isn’t to say both aren’t somewhat effective. Silverman’s voice is sometimes cloying, and it’s possible that the film sets a record for “most weepy-eyed CGI characters,” but it’s all so well-intentioned that it is easy to forgive. Many have praised this as the first truly great “video game movie.” It most certainly isn’t. It’s simply a fairy tale movie; a classic Disney yarn dressed in video game trappings. It is no more the “first great video game movie” than Snow White was the “first great movie to espouse buying organic produce.” The growing animosity between those who feel games are a fertile artistic medium and those who abhor that concept will have to wait for another champion to settle things. Wreck-It Ralph is too busy being cute, sweet and generally adorable to make any substantial contributions. —This review first appeared in The Reader of Omaha, Neb. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

T

here’s no more iconic spy in Western culture than 007, Bond, James Bond, and with a 50-year cinematic history, the 22 previous films in the franchise also represent an extraordinary body of cinematic work. The character of suave but deadly Bond has been played by a number of actors, from Sean Connery to Roger Moore, George Lazenby to Timothy Dalton. The two latest Bond films, Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace, have both featured the rugged Daniel Craig in the title role. This newest Bond is played as more of a rough-edged killer, a thug, rather inconsistent with the original vision of author Ian Fleming, and indeed, these latest two outings in the franchise were a mixed bag, missing some of the wit and sophistication of earlier movies. Skyfall fixes all of these problems and is the first film where Daniel Craig captures the classic hero. The film has all the hallmarks of the best 007 films too, including exotic locations, beautiful women, a nefarious villain, interesting gadgets and amazing action stunts. A complex storyline that twists and turns, surprising even the most jaded viewer with its intricate machinations, marks this as a great action film too, one that requires — and rewards — close attention. When a computer drive containing the identities of all deep cover agents associated with U.N. security efforts worldwide is stolen, Bond does his best to recover it in a thrilling opening chase through Istanbul. As a last resort to ensure the data doesn’t fall into enemy hands, field agent Eve Moneypenny (Naomie Harris) is ordered to shoot Bond. He falls, seemingly to his death, in a scene that’s shocking: Bond dead? Can it really be true? Months later MI6 is ingeniously attacked while M ( Judi Dench) finds herself in front of the new head of MI6, Gareth Mallory (Ralph Fiennes) defending her approach to recovering the agent list. She’s too old, it’s time to retire, Mallory insists, a theme that recurs throughout Skyfall. She’s not about to retire when the list is still missing, and when Bond shows up unexpectedly to assist, we learn that the theft of the list is just the first step in a far more complex plot. The cast offers uniformly excellent performances and the introduction of young hipster Q (Ben Whishaw) is inspired: He has just the right amount of self-importance that he serves both as a good foil to Bond and an anxious field agent when he realizes that villain Raoul Silva ( Javier Bardem) has anticipated every move MI6 makes. There are so many things I liked about this Bond film, I’m eager to see it again — in IMAX to compare the two versions — and unabashedly recommend it as one of the best films in the entire Bond franchise. With many subtle nods to earlier Bond films (including the Aston Martin’s ejector seat control, lifted directly from Goldfinger), fans of the series and newcomers to the Bond mythology alike will enjoy Skyfall.

Food happenings around town

New tequila brand brings Mexican tradition to Boulder in a bottle by Hayley Proctor

O

nce there was an agave farmer whose wife happened upon a rabbit that was acting rather strange. She saw him running madly to and from an agave plant, and after closer observation, she realized the rabbit was drinking a liquid that was dripping from the plant. The farmer’s wife decided to collect the liquid and share it with her husband. It made them both feel alive and vibrant, so they continued to enjoy the agave liquid for the remainder of their lives. And tequila was born. If a rabbit was able to discover it, surely the process of making it should be rather simple. However, there is a lot that goes into making a pure, 100 percent agave tequila, and part of it has to do with sticking with the traditions that began in Mexico. Laurence Spiewak, co-founder and CEO of Suerte Tequila in Boulder, takes those traditions very seriously. “What makes it different from other brands is our tequila is hand-crafted, small batch. And so it’s being made still in the traditional ways that tequila had been made for a long time and that now a lot of the larger manufacturers are getting away from,” he says.

Part of sticking to the tradition involves using traditional equipment, such as an horno, a traditional outdoor oven made of brick. This is used to slow-cook hearts of the agave plant, called piñas, for 52 hours, which is four times longer than the industry standard. The piñas are then transferred to a tahona, which is a large stone that rolls around and crushes the agave to get the juice out of it. This equipment is seldom used by tequila manufacturers anymore, but it is what was originally used for tequila production in Mexico. After the tahona crushes the piñas for 16 hours, the juice is then diluted with water to the proper consistency needed for fermentation. Spiewak and his business partner, Lance Sokol, decided to honor that original process. “Being from Boulder and living in Boulder, and having both worked in the natural products industry for many years, we both had a really strong desire and passion to see that it was natural and 100 percent pure,” Spiewak says. Much like a good wine, tequila tends to get better with age. The Tequila Regulatory Council in Mexico has set requirements on how long each type of tequila should be aged. For example, for tequila to be labeled añejo, it needs to

cuisine review Susan France

Colterra 210 Franklin St., Niwot 303-652-0777

I

t was one of those chilly, grayish Saturdays that was a harbinger of upcoming winter. Too cold to go out on the bike and not enough snow on the ground to enjoy wintry sports, so why not go out for a leisurely breakfast? In this spirit, friend Justin joined me on an excursion to Niwot’s Colterra for a lowkey morning meal. Michael Drazsnzak, Colterra is a executive chef at homey place, which Colterra probably has something to do with the fact that it’s housed in a vintage residence. It opens for brunch at 10 a.m., which is a bit later than other eateries, but the atmosphere is less frenetic than spots that pack folks in all morning. Breakfast choices on the weekend brunch menu include griddle cakes, oatmeal and a range of egg dishes. More lunchlike options include pasta, sandwiches and salads such as an ahi Nicoise. We started off with a serving of $5 Grand Marnier beignets accompanied by local Madhava alfalfa honey. These pillowy morsels, gently perfumed with citrus, arrived at the table fresh from the fryer, and would please those that prefer these New Orleans delicacies on the cakey side. The honey’s sweetness was superfluous given the ample dusting of powdered sugar on the pastry — I soon regretted my decision to wear a black fleece top. Justin took it as a positive sign that “there’s so much sugar that you can breathe it in and cough.” The soup of the day was a $6 butternut squash, which one could easily dismiss as an autumnal kitchen cliché. However, the skilled execution made a compel-

ive sauces, known as the mother sauces, serve as a cornerstone of classic French cuisine. Cooks can vary the ingredients in each of these sauces to suit the needs of a particular dish. For example, Béchamel sauce is your standard milk-based white sauce. With the addition of grated cheddar, it becomes the foundation for macaroni and cheese. Another master sauce lending itself to countless variations is tomato. Espagnole is a brown sauce with a veal foundation, while veloute is a white sauce flavored with stock. Hollandaise, defined by emulsifying egg yolk and butter, among other ingredients, is the starting point for Béarnaise.

ling case for this sweet and subtly curried preparation. Understated additions of slivered almond and cream contributed complexity to both texture and flavor. The only improvement might be to lighten the texture a notch, as the soup was approaching near sauce-like consistency. Justin’s main event was a hearty $13 sausage frittata featuring Long Farm pork. Initially, we had a difference of opinion regarding the virtues of this dish. We both agreed on the endearing fluffiness of the eggy foundation and the charms of the creamy, slightly chewy, higher moisture mozzarella. My friend initially found the sausage bland, and I agreed it wasn’t as fully flavored as most. But I argued this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, as most sausage has been overly processed with salt and preservatives that obscure the actual taste of the pork. I found the purer sausage flavor a positive, and Justin later conceded, “It’s grown on me.” My entree was Colterra’s $13 reimagining of

classic eggs Benedict. More crisp than creamy polenta cakes supplanted English muffin, while proscuitto stood in for Canadian bacon. Hollandaise was supplanted by a variant of its close cousin Béarnaise, sauce Choron, featuring a tangy dash of tomato. The poached eggs were perfectly prepared with firm but not rubbery whites, and a nicely fluid golden yolk. Some might find the cured ham saltier and more pungent than Canadian bacon, and a little less of this ingredient might have been beneficial. Nevertheless, an eggs Benedict fan would likely relish this fresh take. This time of year, a tranquil weekend meal can provide great comfort. Understated but attentive service, a menu that embraces tradition but also a few new twists, and understated ambience are welcome ingredients. On this recipe, Colterra assuredly delivers.

WINE AND BRINE IN PREPARATION FOR THANKSGIVING

Boulder cheese shop Cured has taken steps to make Thanksgiving a little bit easier. Recognizing the difficulty of pairing wine with a big Thanksgiving meal, Cured has chosen four different bottles of wine to match the many flavors of the holiday. On Nov. 15, Cured invites residents to come sample the selected wines for free along with bites of roasted turkey and porchetta, a rolled pork roast seasoned with garlic, herbs and spices. Cured will also have sweet sausage, fall apples, squash, potatoes and more from other local restaurants and farms for sale for Thanksgiving dinner. For more information visit www.curedboulder.com.

be aged a minimum of one year. Once again, Spiewak and Sokol decided that the minimum simply wasn’t enough. “Our añejo is aged for two years. The longer it sits in the barrel and ages, the smoother it gets. So it really has a smoother quality that the other añejos don’t have. And the other thing is that it starts to take on more flavor from the barrel, from the oak, so it starts to take on some very unique characteristics,” says Spiewak. “It’s definitely got more of a full-bodied flavor, but it’s still a really wonderful balance of the pure agave with some subtle oak from the barrel.” One of the initial goals that the founders had when making Suerte Tequila was making sure that it had a certain smooth quality that could be sipped easily and wasn’t harsh in any way, according to Spiewak. “We purposefully went looking for something very smooth because we knew the American consumer needed something smooth. Americans don’t really take too kindly to really harsh spirits,” he says. “We also felt like we could offer something to the American consumer that’s more affordable. There’s so many people that won’t go near a really good bottle of tequila because it’s $70 a bottle, and so we wanted to give them another choice.” Part of what gives tequila these characteristics has to do with not only how it’s made, but where. In the Mexican state of Jalisco, the highlands in the city of

Atonilco el Alto are where Suerte Tequila is made, along with popular brands such as Patrón and Don Julio. Tequila made in the lowlands, including Jose Cuervo and Sauza, has much different characteristics. “The soil is different, the weather is different, and the environment is different,” says Spiewak. “Highlands tequila tends to be a little sweeter and just more of a sweet agave flavor, in essence. Lowland tequilas tend to be a little more floral. Still agave, but much more floral.” Despite being very traditional when it comes to the process of making tequila, Spiewak and Sokol aren’t quite so traditional when it comes to marketing it. This winter, for example, they will be taking the brand to some Colorado ski resorts, Spiewak says. “Vail, Aspen, some of the bigger ski towns that have a lot of people coming from all over the world, there’s always nightlife going on at night after the ski day, and there’s always live music, there’s always parties and things,” he says. “So we hope to be able to get involved with some of those things. We not only want to make it available up there to people in Colorado, but we’re hoping to start educating people outside of Colorado.” Suerte Tequila is available in seven different liquor stores around Boulder. It is also being served at Casa Alvarez in Boulder, Treppedas in Niwot and Comida Restaurant in Longmont. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com Boulder Weekly

Tangier Moroccan Cuisine 3070 28th Street, Boulder 303-443-3676

Synopses of recent restaurant reviews. To read reviews in their entirety, visit www.boulderweekly.com.

D

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’t-miss dishes include the bastilla, a delightfully flaky savory pie stuffed with either vegetables or chicken, and the flavorpacked couscous selections. Tagines, glutenfree North African stews, arrive piping hot and feature such intriguing combinations as lamb with apple and apricot.

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 Montrealstyle smoked meat.

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.

rishna Kare is one of those cool ethnic finds that foodies live for, spotlighting chaat, or savory Indian street fare. Located in a Lafayette strip mall, this spot serves spicy options like samosa chaat, the familiar fried potato-filled turnovers submerged in peppy stewed garbanzos. There’s also a range of Indochinese dishes, a hybrid of Indian and Chinese cuisine. These include ginger-scented Hakka noodles and the intriguing Dry Manchurian, a chile- and soyseasoned meatless dumpling.

ygiene’s Crane Hollow Cafe is an endearingly rustic breakfast and lunch spot that may more closely resemble a friend’s country cottage than anything else.

There’s also a full complement of espresso beverages and homemade pies, including a topnotch mixed berry number.

ramble and Hare, Boulder’s new self-styled farmhouse kitchen and pub, distinguishes itself by offering locavore small plates as well as a relatively affordable prix fixe menu. A spinoff of its next-door neighbor, the Black Cat Bistro, this restaurant also spotlights ingredients from Chef Eric Skokan’s farm. Menu highlights include the full-flavored and tender-smoked Mulefoot pork, as well as a duck liver “doughnut” set off by a remarkable orange marmalade.

Mexico Bistro and Tequila House. But there are also more distinctive offerings such as grilled seafood plates and vegetarian dishes featuring breaded cauliflower and chile-simmered cactus. One memorable dish is the Tampiqueña, which combines a tender carne asada with an expertly prepared chicken mole enchilada.

nown for lunch, dinner and happy hour, Boulder’s Brasserie Ten Ten has added weekend brunch to its list of accomplishments. The expansive morning menu includes Belgian waffles, hot sandwiches such as French dips and Reubens, entree salads and a plethora of omelets and egg dishes. The Bordeaux Scramble winningly combines eggs, arugula and a herbed biscuit, and the beignets are memorable, closely resembling cream puffs.

The data that’s stored and disseminated on the Internet is unimaginably voluminous. And yet the 540 billion trillion electrons that carry all this information weigh about the same as a strawberry. I’d like to use this fun fact as a metaphor for the work you’re doing these days — and the play, too. Your output is prodigious. Your intensity is on the verge of becoming legendary. The potency of your efforts is likely to set in motion effects that will last for a long time. And yet, to the naked eye or casual observer, it all might look as simple and light as a strawberry.

TAURUS

APRIL 20-MAY 20:

What if you have a twin sister or brother that your mother gave up for adoption right after you were born and never told you about? Or what if you have a soul twin you’ve never met — a potential ally who understands life in much the same ways that you do? In either case, now is a time when the two of you might finally discover each other. At the very least, Taurus, I suspect you’ll be going deeper and deeper with a kindred spirit who will help you transform your stories about your origins and make you feel more at home on the planet.

GEMINI

MAY 21-JUNE 20:

I urged my readers to meditate on death not as the end of physical life, but as a metaphor for shedding what’s outworn. I then asked them to describe the best death they had ever experienced. I got a response that’s applicable to you right now. It’s from a reader named Judd: “My best death was getting chicken pox at age 13 while living in the Philippines. My mother banished me to the TV room. I was uncomfortable but hyperactive, lonely and driven to agony by the awful shows. But after six hours, something popped. My suffering turned inside out, and a miracle bloomed. I closed my eyes and my imagination opened up like a vortex. Images, ideas, places, dreams, people familiar and strange — all amazing, colorful, and vibrant — flowed through my head. I knew then and there that no material thing on this Earth could hook me up to the source of life like my own thoughts. I was free!”

ment, Virgo, is to see what you can do about coalescing a few constellations.

LIBRA

Doctors used to believe that ulcers were caused by stress and spicy foods. But in the 1980s, two researchers named Barry Marshall and Robin Warren began to promote an alternative theory. They believed the culprit was H. pylori, a type of bacteria. To test their hypothesis, Marshall drank a Petri dish full of H. pylori. Within days he got gastric symptoms and underwent an endoscopy. The evidence proved that he and his partner were correct. They won a Nobel Prize for their work. (And Marshall recovered just fine.) I urge you to be inspired by their approach, Libra. Formulate experiments that allow you to make practical tests of your ideas, and consider using yourself as a guinea pig.

SCORPIO

OCT. 23-NOV. 21:

This is not prime time for you to rake in rewards, collect hard-earned goodies, and celebrate successes you’ve been building towards for a long time. It’s fine if you end up doing those things, but I suspect that what you’re best suited for right now is getting things started. You’ll attract help from unexpected sources if you lay the groundwork for projects you want to work on throughout 2013. You’ll be in alignment with cosmic rhythms, too. Your motto comes from your fellow Scorpio, writer Robert Louis Stevenson: “Judge each day not by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant.”

SAGITTARIUS NOV. 22-DEC. 21:

On a beach, a man spied a pelican that was barely moving. Was it sick? He wanted to help. Drawing close, he discovered that ants were crawling all over it. He brushed them off, then carried the bird to his car and drove it to a veterinarian. After a thorough examination, the doctor realized the pelican was suffering from a fungus that the ants had been eating away — and probably would have removed completely if the man hadn’t interfered. Moral of the story: Sometimes healing takes place in unexpected ways, and nature knows better than we do about how to make it happen. Keep that in mind during the coming weeks, Sagittarius.

CANCER

CAPRICORN

Conservationists are surprised by what has been transpiring in and around Nepal’s Chitwan National Park. The tigers that live there have changed their schedule. Previously, they prowled around at all hours, day and night. But as more people have moved into the area, the creatures have increasingly become nocturnal. Researchers who have studied the situation believe the tigers are doing so in order to better coexist with humans. I suspect that a metaphorically similar development is possible for you, Cancerian. Meditate on how the wildest part of your life could adapt better to the most civilized part — and vice versa. (Read more: tinyurl. com/HumanTiger.)

A farmer in Japan found a 56-leaf clover. Well, actually, he bred it in his garden at home. It took effort on his part. Presumably, it provided him with 14 times the luck of a mere four-leaf clover. I don’t think your good karma will be quite that extravagant in the coming week, Capricorn, but there’s a decent chance you’ll get into at least the 16-leaf realm. To raise your odds of approaching the 56-leaf level of favorable fortune, remember this: Luck tends to flow in the direction of those who work hard to prepare for it and earn it.

LEO

The largest bell in the world is located in Moscow, Russia. Called the Tsar Bell, it’s made of bronze, weighs 445,170 pounds, and is elaborately decorated with images of people, angels, and plants. It has never once been rung in its 275 years of existence. Is there anything comparable in your own life, Aquarius? Some huge presence that has never actually been used? The time is near when that stillness may finally come to an end. I suggest you decide how this will occur rather than allowing fate to choose for you.

JUNE 21-JULY 22:

JULY 23-AUG. 22:

What is a dry waterfall? The term may refer to the location of an extinct waterfall where a river once fell over a cliff but has since stopped flowing. Döda Fallet in Sweden is such a place. “Dry waterfall” may also signify a waterfall that only exists for a while after a heavy rain and then disappears again. One example is on Brukkaros Mountain in Namibia. A third variant shows up in “Cliffs Beyond Abiquiu, Dry Waterfall,” a landscape painting by Georgia O’Keeffe. It’s a lush rendering of a stark landscape near the New Mexico town where O’Keeffe lived. Soon you will have your own metaphorical version of a dry waterfall, Leo. It’s ready for you if you’re ready for it.

VIRGO

AUG. 23-SEPT. 22:

You are getting to where you need to be, but you’re still not there. You have a good share of the raw materials you will require to accomplish your goal, but as of yet you don’t have enough of the structure that will make everything work. The in-between state you’re inhabiting reminds me of a passage from the author Elias Canetti: “His head is made of stars, but not yet arranged into constellations.” Your next assign-
