A leguminous error

Just wanted to point out an incorrect statement in the article, “Quinoa Conundrum,” in the Feb. 28 issue. “They’re also intercropping quinoa with leguminous crops, such as corn and potatoes, to keep weeds down and provide more nitrogen for the plants” They are intercropping with legumes but corn and potatoes are not legumes and they are not using corn and potatoes.

h-oh. You always have to worry when you hear that there’s a new “air of giddiness on Wall Street.” That’s a sure sign that financial disaster is looming on our horizon again. After all, giddy is a synonym for featherbrained, frivolous and foolish. This latest outbreak of what was once called “irrational exuberance” among financial titans has been sparked by a sudden splurge on

Cleveland offended

(Re: “All together now,” Boulder County Beer Tour, Feb. 28.) I hope you didn’t pay for this article. Anyone there doing any editing? Not cool taking a swipe at another city for no apparent reason.

corporate mergers. In just the past four months, a dozen super-sized corporate takeovers have siphoned off between $3 billion and $24 billion each in capital — money dumped into frothy deals that create nothing. Why are they done? Follow the money. First, such financial giants as JPMorgan Chase constantly push mergers because bankers pocket a fortune in fees for packaging and financing the buyouts. Second, since CEOs have drastically whacked jobs and wages the last few years, while also inflating their stock prices, they’ve now got trillions of dollars in cash they need to move. How about investing in more employees, better service or improved products? Nah — it’s easier and flashier to just buy up competitors, swell their fiefdoms, and get mega-kudos for “boldness.” Third, the biggest private equity buyout firms are also sitting on moun-

One problem with drafting elderly

(Re: “Want to bring back the draft? Here’s how.” Danish Plan, Feb. 21.) Mr. Danish has some good points on the drafting of seniors. Many of the duties of modern warfare don’t require the physical ability of younger see LETTERS Page 12

tains of cash they accumulated from speculators before the 2008 crash. Hundreds of billions of these speculator dollars — known as “dry powder” — have to be invested by the end of this year. So the rush is on for them to snap up corporations, whack as many jobs as possible, sell off or shut down segments of the business, then cash in for themselves and the speculators. One Wall Street economist says, giddily, that today’s urge to merge is “a sign that corporate America believes that the [economic] expansion is going to accelerate.” Yeah, and run right over us.

t’s a weekday at the Follis household, and 12-year-old non-identical twins Button and Pout are headed downstairs — getting ready for school. This morning, the girls are being “difficult.” “Mom,” Pout began, “those flak vests you got on sale at Ammo Dump® are gross! Dustin Beaver is so out! We wanted No Direction! And those trauma plates you bought us are embarrassing — Mutually Assured Destruction® is a cheap knock-off line. All the cool kids are wearing Terminate With Extreme Prejudice®!” Button followed: “The Johnsons are getting bazookas! Commander LaPierre says the only thing that stops a bad guy with a bazooka is a good guy with a bazooka! And the Vangs — they just got their own cruise missile! It’s so cool! Commander LaPierre says it’s the kwindasenshul self-defense weapon! What’s kwindasenshul?” “As you know, girls,” Mrs. Follis responded patiently, “your father has been out of work since his flamethrower accident, and things have been kind of tight. We’re doing the best we can, but we can’t keep shopping at fancy stores like KillZone®. And I’m afraid we just can’t afford the kind of firepower some of your friends have.” Pout wasn’t through: “Mom, that volunteer security guard at school is creepy! He has these long hairs growing

out of his nose. And he trembles, Mom. He trembles! Last week, he winged my math teacher with his sidearm. Mom, he’s scary!” “Oh, Pout,” Mrs. Follis countered calmly, “you’re exaggerating. First of all, sidearms don’t wing people, people wing people. And each and every one of those heroic volunteers has been hand-picked by Commander LaPierre. Anyway, sweetheart, that nice man apologized afterwards — an armed society is a polite society. And, girls,” she added, “as I recall from parentteacher conferences, your math instructor is completely encased in body armor.” It was a good point. Button sighed. Pout pouted. “So why all this complaining?” Mom continued, concerned. “You can just thank your lucky stars and stripes you live in a country where the courts entertain a robust reading of the Second Amendment! You know, there are places in this world where kids aren’t allowed to be armed, where every night, boys and girls go to bed without guns!” “M-om!” Button whined, “that’s not true! It, it can’t be!” ”Yeah,” Pout accused, “you’re just making that up to scare us!” Determined, Mom soldiered on, invoking her most hurt tone: “Button see GUNS Page 10

LETTERS from Page 7

(Re: “The bad seed strikes again,” The Highroad, Feb. 28.) Congrats on your fear-mongering and poorly written drivel on “The bad seed.” If your goal was to produce a steaming pile of text, that is. Farmers do not have to purchase Monsanto’s licensed germplasm, they are completely free to use whatever poor-producing antique varieties that they want. However, if they choose to buy Monsanto’s germplasm the requirements are very clearly spelled out as a condition of sale. This is really no different than buying licensed software or music. The purchaser

has no rights to reproduce these without paying royalties to their developers. Are those industries evil too? In your narrowminded world surely this must be true as well. The chemicals used with biotech crops are far safer than traditional agricultural chemicals. Try writing a real article instead of spreading your manure; the crops may like your contribution, but normal, rational and thinking people can see it for what it truly is. I am confident that you will not have the nerve or journalistic integrity to publish this. Dan Shiley/Frederick

educate people about marijuana and that would create a committee to identify marijuana topics that Coloradans need to know more about.” Unbiased and fact-based, my keister. The state of Colorado has already provided smoking-gun evidence that it cannot be trusted to be an honest information broker insofar as marijuana is concerned. That was conclusively proved last September when the Legislative Council, the standing committee of the Colorado legislature responsible for putting out the State Ballot Information Booklet (aka The Blue Book), the guide to ballot issues that the state sends to every registered voter before every

(Re: “Julia’s proves vegan can taste good,” cuisine review, Feb. 28.) I wanted to thank you for your review of Julia’s vegan restaurant. It is the first article I’ve seen of a vegan or vegetarian restaurant by an omnivore, and I was pleased to read your balanced review. My uncle’s cholesterol was high, and now he is enjoying low-meat and even vegan meals more often, with results that satisfy his physician! I recently took a devoted meat-foodie to a vegan restaurant in my city, and, unlike the other vegetarian restaurants, this one he enjoyed. I, myself, became vegan in 2011 and love it. Your article showed an educated critique, based on food quality rather than food perceptions. For that, I thank you. If I should make it to Boulder, I will definitely consider Julia’s.

election, arbitrarily deleted the three arguments that Amendment 64 proponents considered to be their strongest. The Legislative Council offered no explanation for why it did this, which is hardly surprising since the deletion was a brazen and deliberate abuse of state power intended to dishonestly influence the outcome of an election. The last people on earth who should be entrusted with running an “unbiased, fact-based” website about marijuana are the elected officials and bureaucrats who have been disseminating misinformation and suppressing dissenting views about marijuana for the last 76 years. To expect these guys

to run an “unbiased, fact-based” website is delusional. The task force would have produced a considerably higher quality work product if it had kept in mind that the official name of Amendment 64 was the “Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol Act of 2012.” Its misfires mostly involved attempts to regulate marijuana in ways fundamentally different from how alcohol has been regulated since the end of prohibition, and which would be rejected out of hand if applied to alcohol today.

THAT EVIL WEED Well, the city of Boulder’s heavyhanded puritan leaders are at it again. Despite the fact that Boulder voters overwhelmingly voted in favor of Amendment 64, the measure allowing recreational use of marijuana statewide, city council members and other city leaders — including City Attorney Tom Carr, shocker — are already scrambling to see how they can restrict the implementation of that new law, even if it means passing a moratorium while they plot their new oppressive strategies. Um, last we checked, Amendment 64 was aimed at regulating marijuana like alcohol. Why not just use the same rules that we have for liquor stores? Our city leaders need to loosen up and stop legislating morality, whether it’s about public nudity or alcohol on the Hill. Maybe they should all smoke a bowl before going into their meetings. MORE DECEPTION FROM JOE We’ve been making a big deal lately about the need for being able to quickly and inexpensively access public records, and here’s another example why it’s important. Emails obtained through open records requests by fractivists in Erie cast even more doubt on the findings of a recent study that Erie Mayor Joe Wilson heralded as giving the town a clean bill of health. A consultant hired by the town told Erie leaders on Feb. 12 that her review of a study conducted last year by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment indicated that health risks from emissions by local natural gas wellheads was low. “This is terrific news for Erie families who may have been misled into believing they were at significant risk,” Mayor Joe Wilson crowed after the presentation. But a July 17 email from Martha Rudolph of the CDPHE to Erie Trustee Mark Gruber shows that state officials acknowledged that the original study was flawed. “We will not be able to use these samples to perform long-term risk calculations, because a critical element in performing these calculations is sufficient data: in this case there will be too few air quality samples to provide sufficient data,” Rudolph wrote. “These findings and analysis, therefore, won’t provide the oil and gas industry with a clean bill of health and won’t go against the industry — the sampling is not being done to determine health impacts from oil and gas emissions.” Put that in your gas pipe and smoke it, Joe. FINDING OUR HAPPY PLACE Did anyone else find it curious, but pleasantly surprising, that Longmont was named the third-happiest city in the country based on a study of Twitter content? Nothing against Longmont. In the past two decades, that city has made tremendous strides, it’s just that the likes of Boulder and Louisville tend to make these types of national lists. This time around, Longmont bested its richer and more liberal sister cities when it came down to a geographical analysis of words contained in tweets done at the University of Vermont. Amazingly, Front Range cities took four of the top 12 slots in the country: Lafayette/Louisville/Erie came in eighth, Boulder was 10th and Fort Collins was ranked 12th. We’ve started speculating about the possible reasons for Longmont’s unreasonably happy tweets. Having a mayor who owns a local brewpub? Perhaps, but on second thought, our governor owns a brewpub and we wouldn’t insult Longmont Mayor Dennis Coombs by comparing him to Frackenlooper, or suggesting that our state at large is happy because of that oil and gas shill. Maybe it’s because there is no elk hunting allowed within city limits by anyone in uniform. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com Boulder Weekly

news Camera, sister papers undergo another ‘reorganization’ by Jefferson Dodge

oulder Daily Camera Publisher Al Manzi would neither confirm nor deny reports Wednesday that his company has laid off about a dozen more employees. Boulder Weekly has been told that the Camera and its sister newspapers in the area have quietly laid off approximately 12 staff members, reportedly affecting the only remaining reporter at the Colorado Daily as well as employees at the Longmont Times-Call and Loveland ReporterHerald. When asked about the reports, Manzi described it as “a very minor reorganization of staff, very, very minor.” But he declined to comment further because his papers had not yet printed their own story about the changes. “We’re going to do something on our own, and you’ll be able to pick that up right out of our product, and that will tell you everything you need to know,” Manzi said. “I’m not going to confirm or deny anything, because I don’t want to give you the information that you think you have.” When told of the information provided to BW, he said, “Well, you have some errors in there, but I’m not going to point them out, because they’ll be in our story, and that will be the accurate story. “I’m not trying to be difficult,” Manzi added. “I’m typically very cooperative in these kinds of situations, but we haven’t published anything on it, and I don’t think it’s fair to our employees to have that happen.” About a year ago, Prairie Mountain Publishing, the subsidiary of Denver Post parent company Digital First Media that owns several local newspapers, announced that it was laying off 17 employees and outsourcing ad design and production functions, using a company that has facilities in India and Indonesia. At that time, Manzi initially denied the move when interviewed by BW, then published a report about it in the Camera the next day. “We are constantly looking for ways to become more efficient, whatever direction that takes, because, as the CEO of the company has said, we’ve got to make sure we’re cognizant of the reduction of legacy costs so we can grow into our digital future,” Manzi Boulder Weekly

said at the time. John Paton, who replaced former MediaNews CEO Dean Singleton in September 2011, writes in blog posts about the need to “stop, reduce, outsource and sell all legacy cost areas” and

“slay the production god” by focusing resources on journalism and ad sales, eliminating infrastructure expenses. Prairie Mountain Publishing acquired Lehman Communications in January 2011, taking over the Times-

Call, Reporter-Herald and other area newspapers, allowing the company to share content among its various publications, consolidate staff and eliminate duplication. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

news Will Lafayette be the next Front Range community to stand up to Hickenlooper and the oil and gas industry? by Joel Dyer

ot only are the towns of Erie and Lafayette in close proximity to one another, they share a great deal of history. Both communities owe their existence to the discovery of coal that fueled their early economies. The shafts of old mines still zig-zag just below the homes and businesses of these enclaves on the eastern plains. Another common trait these communities have is that they are located on top of the Wattenberg field, a massive oil and gas play that covers much of Weld County and spills over into Boulder and Larimer counties as well. As a result, Erie and Lafayette are prime real estate for oil and gas companies looking to hydraulically fracture the shale and make millions of dollars from below their parks, schools and neighborhoods. But there is at least one thing that many of the citizens of Lafayette have no intention of sharing with their neighbor to the north: a landscape decimated by drilling and hydraulic fracturing, with its dangerously high amounts of ground-level ozone, chemical spills and other potential air and water contamination problems. Drilling and fracking was the issue of most interest among the citizenry at the Lafayette City Council meeting on Tuesday night, March 5. The first speaker of the night, Erie resident Rod Brueske, described his family’s plight to council. “My family has been adversely affected,” said Brueske. “There are 124 cancer-causing agents flowing into my home.” Earlier that same day, Brueske told BW how his young son developed frequent, severe nosebleeds shortly after nearby drilling caused an older well across the street from his Erie house to begin emitting contaminants into the air. He claims his family now suffers from a variety of health issues, including headaches and gastrointestinal problems. Brueske concluded by telling the Lafayette council members that Lafayette should not make the mistakes that Erie’s elected leaders made. He told council that the oil and gas rules written by the state were not written to protect people, but rather to protect the oil and gas industry’s profits. He added, “You should not hesitate to write your own rules.” One speaker after another, many of whom were 14 March 7, 2013

Lafayette

Abandoned wells

City of Lafayette

Active wells

Fracked, horizontally drilled wells

members of East Boulder County United, a group opposed to drilling and fracking in Lafayette and Louisville, warned the council of the hazards of oil and gas extraction within the community. Several speakers requested that the city provide maps showing where all the active and abandoned wells within and around the city are located (See map above). This information is critical because loopholes in the state’s oil and gas regulations allow the industry to re-enter currently active and possibly even plugged and abandoned wells for the purpose of drilling horizontal wells, and fracking those wells, regardless of how close to a home or business these old wells may be. It is not an exaggeration to assume that Lafayette, unless its city council and/or citizens take action to

stop it, could become the next Erie or Frederick. Drilling activity maps like the one above clearly show that the industry is pushing southwest from Weld County straight towards the heart of the town. It is simply a matter of time. Lafayette resident and East Boulder County United member Cliff Willmeng told members of the city council that if they did not take action, Lafayette would end up like Erie, where more than 300 wells now exist, with more being added every month, or, worse yet, like Frederick, where more than 500 wells now fill the town. Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, whose actions of late have demonstrated support for the oil and gas See LAFAYETTE Page 15

news More accounts of inmate abuse surface at jail

ity claimed she was strapped into the restraint chair for five hours straight, abused physically and verbally, and denied proper medical care for her diabetes. Another, current inmate Brandon Carroll, tells a similar story. Carroll, who has been in jail since Aug. 28 on charges of second-degree kidnapping, aggravated robbery and menacing, says he was falsely accused. His trial is scheduled to begin Monday, March 11. **** Carroll, who is on dialysis because of a kidney condition, claims he was assaulted by guards on Dec. 12 after complaining to a nurse because she was handling his medications with her bare hands instead of wearing gloves. One guard “thought I was being difficult,” Carroll claims, and challenged him to a fight. The inmate says he refused, was told to get in his cell and, as he was walking to retrieve his cup and playing cards from a table where he had been playing spades, the guard pushed him to the ground. He got up, and he acknowledges bracing for another blow by grabbing the guard’s shirt, at which point he claims the guard slammed him to the ground again, causing him to hit his head hard enough to cause swelling. He says several other guards jumped on him after the first guard falsely made it seem like Carroll was fighting back, and during the altercation he claims he was punched See JAIL Page 16

industry, has stated his intention to sue any community that attempts to create its own oil and gas regulations to protect its citizens’ health and property values. Should the Lafayette city council decide to stand up to the governor’s threat, or at least be willing to place drilling and fracking restrictions on the ballot so Lafayette residents can make their own decision, the town will not be alone on Hickenlooper’s hit list. Longmont is already being sued by the state for its citizen-passed fracking ban, and on March 5 the Fort Collins City Council voted 5-2 to also ban fracking within that Front Range community. Presumably Fort Collins, Colorado’s fourth-largest city, will be Boulder Weekly

getting sued any day now. The Lafayette City Council has signaled that, at a minimum, it is willing to enact an emergency moratorium on drilling within the city as soon as an oil and gas company seeks a permit to drill. It is unclear, however, if this ploy would thwart a company from re-entering an existing well, and at best it is, by definition, a temporary solution. Even so, any delay in drilling and fracking activity within Boulder County affords the science a chance to catch up to the drilling rigs whose owners are moving as quickly as possible to tap our resouces before environmental and health regulations can be stregthened at any level of government.

by Jefferson Dodge Boulder Weekly story about the Boulder County Jail and the use of a restraint chair on unruly inmates has prompted other current and former inmates to come forward with allegations of abuse suffered at the hands of jail staff. The story, “The chair and the camera,” ran on Jan. 17. The following week, jail staff installed video surveillance cameras in the disciplinary area where the restraint chair was used on an inmate who claimed he was taunted and abused by guards without justification. The cameras are intended to protect inmates — as well as guards who are sometimes falsely accused of mistreating their charges. In the weeks that followed, BW began to hear from others who claimed they were mistreated at the hands of jail staff. Seth Brigham, the Boulder City Council critic whose actions prompted city officials to unsuccessfully place a restraining order on him in August, says he was mistreated when placed in the jail’s disciplinary unit after being arrested on charges of trespassing, harassment and indecent exposure after an incident last September. “Abuse is the norm, as conditions themselves are abusive,” says Brigham, who told BW he was placed in the disciplinary unit because it is the overflow area for mentally ill inmates. “I was left naked for three days in isolation with lights on, air conditioning turned on and off, food abhorrent, no toilet paper, using the same plastic spoon and paper cup.” One woman who requested anonym-

twice in the face and suffered a dislocated pinky finger and a cut in his mouth. One guard bent his arm where the needles for his dialysis are inserted despite Carroll’s protests, and they put a “spit bag” over his head even though he wasn’t spitting at the guards, he says. While he avoided being put in a restraint chair by being cooperative, Carroll says, he was harassed and teased by guards and deprived of medical attention for his dislocated finger. “I ended up snapping it back in place myself,” he recalls. The guards have a different version. The official incident report says Carroll struck the guard first. It also says Carroll was being verbally abusive to the nurse and refused to go to his cell when told, instead yelling “Get out of my face!” to the guard and taking an aggressive stance before punching the guard in the face. The report confirms that Carroll was punched twice in the face and several guards jumped into the fray. The next day, Brandon Carroll Carroll says, he woke up with severe back pain, was denied medication and was told that since he didn’t have any visible bruises he was fine. When he was transported to a Longmont clinic for his dialysis treatment, the medical staff there documented the pain he was feeling in his side, but he never got any medication for it. “Getting these people to care for you is very difficult,” he says. **** There is an ongoing internal investigation into the incident, and there is video footage of the altercation that both sides claim backs up their version of events. The video viewed by BW shows the guard grabbing Carroll’s arm, but it is unclear what happened afterwards because the two moved out of the camera’s frame. Jeff Goetz, administrative commander for the jail, told BW that the internal affairs investigation is nearly complete and is expected to exonerate the guard in question, Dan Newcomb. According to Goetz, the district attorney’s office reviewed the case and determined last week that Newcomb did not overstep his bounds. “Inmates say a lot of things,” Goetz says. “Sometimes they skip pieces.” But Carroll claims that when he was

interviewed about the incident, an internal investigator tried to get him to change his story by admitting to hitting the guard. He points out that if he had hit the guard, charges would have been filed against him. Goetz points out that between his medications, dialysis treatment and paying deputies overtime to escort him to and from the Longmont clinic three times a week, Carroll is costing county taxpayers about $10,000 a month. Rather than charge Carroll with a relatively minor crime (Newcomb declined to press charges), which would likely further delay his trial — and extend the amount of time the jail has to cover his expensive medical care — the decision was made to drop the matter. “Not filing charges, in the big picture, means he doesn’t stay here longer,” Goetz says. Carroll says he is considering filing a lawsuit regarding the altercation, but he has to allow the internal procedures to be completed first. “Being disabled, I shouldn’t be treated certain ways,” Carroll says. “I shouldn’t be assaulted and thrown down. Then they lie in the incident report because it’s your word against theirs. Just by luck I have the video to back me up.” He adds that he fears retribution for telling his story publicly, especially because Newcomb works in the pod where his cell is located. “I’m scared for my life, honestly,” Carroll says. “But it’s worth the risk, because it needs to be talked about.” **** He has a host of other complaints about his treatment at the jail, including regularly being denied medication he is supposed to take before meals, or being given the drug at the wrong time. Carroll claims that nurses sometimes try to give him another inmate’s medication and that one time he was placed on dialysis for only about two hours instead of his full four-hour treatment. Once, when he complained about being charged $2 for each “kite,” or written complaint he was filing, a jail staffer told him that if he wanted to stop paying the fee, the jail could always decide to stop footing the bill for his dialysis. Guards have also tried to keep him cuffed and in shock ankle bracelets during dialysis, he claims, even though he cramps up badly during Boulder Weekly

news the treatment. “I can’t run with my blood being in a machine,” he says of the dialysis process, in which his blood is drawn through one needle, passed through blood-cleaning equipment, and returned to his body through another needle. He also says there have been times he was neglected after his blood pressure registered high. “When your pressure is high, you need to take it seriously,” Carroll says. “I’ve never seen the doctor here. I don’t even know what he looks like.” Revada Farnsworth, the jail’s health services administrator, responded to Carroll’s complaints. She says he consults with the nephrologist he sees at least once a week at the Longmont clinic, and that doctor has control over all of his medications instead of the jail’s doctor. Farnsworth also told BW that Carroll was placed on a restricted diet because he seemed to believe that the restorative power of dialysis allowed him to eat whatever he wanted, including ramen noodles, Doritos and other food that is not healthy for someone who can’t have iodine or much sodium. “We’re just protecting our own interests,” Farnsworth says, citing the investment the county is making in Carroll’s health. “Mr. Carroll has gotten a lot of attention while he’s been here.” Farnsworth also says jail staff have adjusted the way they distribute medication to Carroll. Initially, in the morning they were giving him three doses of the drug that he takes before each meal — one for breakfast, one for lunch and one for dinner. But she claims he was hoarding that drug and may have been selling it to other inmates, because a search of his cell uncovered a bag of about 24 doses. Now, according to Farnsworth, jail staff make special rounds to give him each dose individually, and “he refuses them quite often.” As for another of his complaints, she says her nurses wear gloves most of the time and don’t touch medicine with their bare hands — pills are popped from a bubble pack into a medicine cup and liquids are poured into a cup. **** Regarding the injuries he sustained in the altercation, the incident report says a nurse saw him at 1:30 a.m. on Dec. 13, about five hours after the scuffle, and determined that his finger was just “jammed.” “We’ve X-rayed it and there’s absolutely nothing physiologically wrong with it,” Farnsworth told BW. “By the time we saw it, it was not dislocated anymore.” She adds that his back problems preBoulder Weekly

date the incident. Farnsworth denies that nurses try to slip him other inmates’ medication, that he was ever threatened with discontinuing dialysis and that he was ever deprived of a full treatment. “There has never been a time that we have taken him to dialysis and have cut it short,” she says. As for the “kite” complaint process, Farnsworth acknowledges that $2 is charged for requests that prompt a nurse visit and for repeated frivolous requests, as a way to recapture some of the funding spent on staff time. Some of the money collected is invested into supplies for the inmates. Goetz says patients are handcuffed when they are taken to non-jail facilities such as the Longmont clinic for security reasons, including the safety of the medical staff and to minimize the risk of flight in a setting where an inmate’s family or friends might try to assist in an escape attempt. (The one exception, he acknowledges, is that pregnant women are not typically shackled during labor and delivery, thanks to a 2010 BW investigation into that practice that prompted a change in state law.) But Carroll has more concerns, including what he describes as unsanitary conditions in the jail. “They have a lot of health issues,” he says. “Our showers have flies in them every day. They fly in our cells, they get in our food, people eat them and get sick.” Goetz acknowledges that the jail does have a flying ant problem during certain seasons of the year and receives monthly visits from an exterminator. “Every facility has that problem, no matter what state you’re in,” he says. But he says Carroll should have no fear of retribution. He stresses that the welfare of the jail’s occupants is a top priority for his staff. “We take the inmates’ health very seriously,” Goetz says. “Our job is to make sure they don’t leave here in worse condition than they came in.” He also says he’s neither surprised nor concerned that additional accounts of mistreatment have surfaced since BW’s initial story in January, because he has confidence in the checks and balances system in place to protect the inmates — including the new video cameras in the disciplinary unit. He adds that in an effort to be more transparent, the Boulder County Sheriff ’s Office is planning to start releasing annual reports about the general outcomes of internal affairs investigations. “If someone thinks there has been an injustice, we encourage them to come forward, because we need to be held accountable,” Goetz says.

Chemical pesticides are being blamed for recent declines in bird populations in grasslands.

esticides are made to kill something somewhere — it says it in the name and there is always a trade-off, says Pierre Mineau, Ph.D., co-author of a new study that found that pesticides are the leading cause of grassland bird deaths. Contrary to a widely held belief that loss of habitat has been driving down bird numbers, the 23-year-long study reveals pesticides are responsible for four times the amount of bird deaths than the other five potential causes: changes Study finds pesticides leading in cropped pasture, farming intensity and permanent pasture and rangeland, as well as overall insecticide use and herbicide use. pesticides are chemical insecticides that The study was published by PLOS affect the nervous system of an insect One, an online, peer-reviewed journal, by disrupting the enzyme that regulates using data collected by Mineau, recent- acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter. ly retired from Environment Canada Developed in the 19th century, these and Mélanie Whiteside of Health chemicals were used during World War Canada.

mate use has been reduced, grassland birds are making a small recovery, moving away from potential extinction, but some will probably still die due to pesticides through more indirect ways. “We have fewer acute problems than before — we’re not killing quite as many birds outright,” Mineau says. “But the loss of insect biomass is so extreme, we’re probably going to start killing birds through the food supply.” The problem comes down to eco-

nomics, Mineau says. Manufacturers of pesticides need to make a profit and are doing so by developing chemical compounds that can be used on multiple crops to combat many pests. The most eco-friendly solution would be herbicides that only work on a few pests or a few crops, but the approach remains blockbuster: Develop one that can kill every pest because it’s cost-effective, Mineau says, but it’s this approach that is fueling the pesticide problem.

“We have a sledgehammer approach when we need the scalpel,” Mineau says. The use of dangerous pesticides cannot be entirely blamed on agriculture. About 90 percent of homeowners in the United States use 136 million pounds of pesticides per year, according to pesticide information on the Boulder County website. The city of Boulder has been working towards reducing their use of pesticides for more than 12 years, according

to Rella Abernathy, integrative pest management coordinator for the city. Boulder focuses on maintaining healthy grass for parks and turfs without relying on pesticides, she says. “The most important thing to consider when you are trying not to use pesticides on grass is to maintain healthy grass so you can crowd out your weeds,” Abernathy says. “People tend to rely on products instead of overall health maintenance.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

adventure A cloud of snow from an avalanche intentionally triggered by helicopter rushes into the town of Telluride last week.

ccusations fly around Telluride like the wind whipping the faded prayer flags, music posters and tourists’ fur coats. “Tom Chapman is a douchebag,” announces a bumper sticker spotted along the streets of jubilantly colored houses. Most locals spit out a bitter laugh at first mention of his proposed helicopter-accessed resort in Bear Creek Basin, a backcountry area accessed from Telluride Ski Resort. The bumper sticker says it best, they agree. Thomas Chapman is a Colorado real estate developer who has been called “the most hated man on the Western Slope” by a Telluride realtor quoted in Powder magazine. He’s known for selling properties surrounded by wilderness after threatening to build mansions or subdivisions on them. In the late 1990s, he purchased 18 parcels in Colorado wilderness for one of his companies, according to The Wall Street Journal. Those 18 don’t even include Chapman’s most infamous land deals, in places like Gunnison National Park and West Elk Wilderness. In 2010, he and a business partner in the Gold Hill Development Company, Ron Curry, purchased about 100 acres of mining claims in Bear Creek and then announced it would be developed. But Telluride locals are skeptical about those latest development plans. “It’s actually

In a press release, he threatened that armed gunmen would be patrolling his land adjacent to Telluride in case outdoor recreationists approached. But Chapman’s past revelations have made some locals more skeptical. When the government didn’t want the property he was selling in Gunnison National Park’s Black Canyon in 1984, media accounts claim a bulldozer was used to spew up extra dirt, making it appear that condo construction had begun. Environmentalists freaked. The government wound up buying the property for $2.1 million in 1987, says Connie Rudd, superintendent for the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. “You’ve got a bulldozer, you know it will rile people up, you make some dust. It’s not rocket science,” says Lou Dawson, who runs the backcountry blog Wildsnow.com. Name-calling reached a new high in 2010 when Chapman persuaded the Forest Service to close Bear Creek access by complaining about liability that avalanche victims could pose for landowners. “I’d like to punch him,” professional backcountry ski guide Andy Abner jokes while riding Telluride’s Gold Hill chairlift. “He’s trying to take away people’s God-given pretty funny, to see what outrageous plan he comes Our Entire Inventory of Clothing, Footwear, right to open space, trying to pull this Wild West up with next,” says part-time ski instructor and Camp Travel & Sunglasses shit,” says Charlie Higginbotham, a Durango resiTelluride resident&Zach Sands.Gear Chapman’s first dent who has been backcountry skiing in Bear declared intentions for Bear Creek included gold Creek for nearly 20 years. mines and futuristic “balloon-igloo construction.”

A view from the hike to Bear Creek from the Telluride Ski Resort

“Of course people are angry,” chuckles Leftover Salmon guitarist and longtime Colorado legend Vince Herman, who’s aware of Chapman’s public past. “That’s why it works,” he e says while in Telluride for two soldout performances at the historic Sheridan Opera House.But in January, Chapman offered full access back to backcountry skiers — many of whom had never stopped skiing there, anyway — if they register on a his website, print and sign his waiver, and carry it while skiing. “People shouldn’t need a waiver to use the Wasatch Trail,” says Tor Andersen, president of the Telluride Mountain Club, who has mapped ski routes in Bear Creek that use the federally recognized trail without crossing private lands. Signing Chapman’s waiver could weaken the legal case for “prescriptive access” to the Wasatch Trail based on decades oof public use, he says. Chapman has filed suits against the Forest Service and Telski over access, and a court date is set for this summer, so some say the waiver is a calculated move. Critics of Chapman’s business practices range from ABC News to the American Land Rights Association, which normally advocates for landowners like Chapman. Locals allege that Chapman bought the property immediately after Telski received a permit for guided skiing in Bear Creek. “I had heard that Telski was considering a move into Bear Creek,” Chapman’s GHDC partner Curry said via email from Israel this week, “so I called USFS District Ranger [ Judy] Schutza in January of 2010 … GHDC closed on the purchase on March 18, 2010. On March 19, 2010, Ranger

Boulder Weekly

Schutza announced the issuance of a permit to Telski for guided skiing in Bear Creek.” In May 2010, Chapman sent the USFS a letter arguing that Telski would need to own GHDC’s land before their boundary expansion or guided skiing could be possible. Telski’s guided skiing route did blatantly cross their private property, says Dawson.

“I thought that was unbelievable,” says Dawson, who acknowledges he has worked as a consultant for Curry in the past. “They may have been reacting to that, or trying to leverage it, so that Telski would buy the property from them.” “As to intimations that my intention is to ultimately sell the land for more than GHDC paid for it,” Curry says, “this is true.” He does not specify an intended buyer, but many locals speculate that Telski is part of the plan.“There are two prior instances where Telski bought out landowners who blocked access or built there,” says Andrew Dolese, a longtime local Realtor who has served on the town’s Planning and Zoning Commission. When a private European-style hut was built on a mining claim blocking Gold Hill access, Telski bought it. Then a fivestory home was built into the rock directly above Temptation Chute, and Telski bought that, too, Dolese says. Telski isn’t the only Telluride entity that purchases land. The town also buys property, which makes them potential suitors to Chapman, to buy property to stop development such as that on Bear Creek. “We rule the roost as a people,” says Eliza Gavin, who owns renowned local restaurant 221 South Oak. “We’re historically oriented. And Bear Creek is part of our resort. Developing it is like trying to erect a hotel inside the Empire State Building. It’s unrealistic.” Tor Anderson, president of the Telluride Mountain Club, agrees the proposed resort is highsee TELLURIDE Page 26

ly unlikely. “Bear Creek is one of the most avalanche-prone areas in Colorado. Telluride Ski Area would have a hell of a time managing this area, even with all their personnel.” Avalanche control is a key part of Chapman’s proposal. “It is not safe to ski in this area without avalanche control,” Chapman told Telluride Magazine. “There have been several deaths in Bear Creek in the last 15 years.” At the top of the Gold Hill lift, Higginbotham and Abner doublecheck their beacons before parting with friends to take on Tempter, their second Bear Creek run of the day. “If I don’t call you in an hour,” Abner tells a friend, “worry.” Later, over $3 fish tacos at local favorite Floradora Saloon, Higginbotham recounts the hair-raising “moving snow” that accompanied them down Bear Creek, especially in an area known as Fingers. “Bear Creek is definitely very serious avalanche terrain,” says Ethan Greene, director of the Colorado Avalanche Information Center (CAIC). “Managing avalanches in that area is not a trivial thing. It depends how much money you want to spend.” It

requires helicopters and explosives and personnel trained to use both in order to properly mitigate avalanche danger in an area like Bear Creek. “Avalanche control there would work only with no regard for making any money,” Anderson says. “Proposing this type of ski area in this location shows how little Chapman knows about the business and the science of avalanche control.” Just as it would require permits and helicopters for Chapman to cleanse the area of its avalanche danger, Helitrax also has to have permits to conduct its business. “You need a permit,” Helitrax Director Joe Shults says. “it’s federal land.” GHDC would need one, too: Curry says they plan to lease at least one helicopter to whisk skiers to and from the sole avalanche-free zone in upper Bear Creek. Helitrax already has a USFS permit to land in upper Bear Creek, Shults says. “I don’t think that [overlapping permit] situation currently exists in the lower 48 states,” Shults says. But the helicopter permit question might not be addressed anytime soon. No proposal for the Bear Creek resort has been submitted to the USFS yet, Boulder Weekly

according to Schutza. The permit process took Silverton Mountain, the last ski area approved in Colorado, almost six years. “A few weeks ago, we guided Ron Curry through the process so he would know how to submit a proposal,” Schutza says. “He needs to give us a proposal and we’ll decide if it can become an application.” Curry is in no hurry. “No one I have spoken with at the Forest Service has given me a deadline,” he wrote. “They are aware that I am busy, out of the country.” So they haven’t taken the first official step, Anderson says, “just created a website to generate panic.” That website warns in red lettering that “if the ski permit idea is not acceptable … upper Bear Creek becomes a private ski area for the homeowner” of the single-family luxury home they would build instead. Dawson believes cooperation may be best for Telluride. “It’s better to work with people with resources like that, than to totally road-block,” he says, “because if you road-block, you don’t know what you’re gonna get.” Curry explains his options in his email.“Should our

other applications fail to gain traction, we still own the land,” he writes. “The county is obligated to give us a building permit for at least a 1,000-square-feet permanent dwelling. If someone is interested in acquiring this from us, we are are willing to entertain an offer. We also have the right to have a small mining operation.” But the main plan is the heli-ski resort, according to GHDC — if it doesn’t hit any major road blocks. “With regards to just the safety issue alone, all skiers who value the safety of backcountry skiing, and we feel that is nearly everyone, would not have a problem with a minimal charge to make a place safe to ski,” Chapman says. It turns out many do have a problem with his plan — if they take it seriously, that is. “The locals know his plan is a scam,” says Andi Moran, an employee at a local ski shop with indoor climbing walls. Nonchalant Telluridians, convinced Chapman is bluffing, may add a new twist to an old Colorado controversy. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

Far from flowers

O’Keeffe exhibition shows her place in the world beyond petals, into landscapes, spiritual objects and early expressionism by Elizabeth Miller

“Chama River, Ghost Ranch” from 1937. New Mexico Museum of Art; gift of the Estate of Georgia O’Keeffe

28 March 7, 2013

n a wintry afternoon in New York state, far from her beloved New Mexico and its ochre, umber and rust palette, the color and line that had drawn her in and kept her coming back, Georgia O’Keeffe sat painting the piece of that landscape she could bring with her when she came home to the New York City art scene and her husband, Alfred Stieglitz, and his gallery there. As it snowed, she painted “Kokopelli with Snow,” a katsina tihu doll with his chin tucked toward an invisible flute, his red, brown and black plumage flaring upward toward a blue and white blur of sky and a few white dots. It was 1942, some 13 years after O’Keeffe had started spending a portion of the year in New Mexico. What she found there was very much what she found in the katsina tithu, sacred objects from the Hopi tribes of the Southwest. She found a thing that matched what she was seeking as an artist: a study of line, form and color that meant reducing the realism in favor of evocative images that border on abstractions. O’Keeffe was among the early artists — of any gender — to play with those lines. Three paintings done between 1936 and 1945 of a spot she called “The Black Place” in New Mexico show her beginning with a recognizable landscape of those coal-blacked cliffs and arroyos touched with pink, blue and green, then charging so far into abstraction that the gully becomes a jagged line in near monochromatic black and white, then backing out to a roughed but less abstract landscape, and a less tight zoom. The interplay and exploration of form, color and contour are among the aspects of O’Keeffe’s work not named in the exhibition Georgia O’Keeffe in New Mexico: Architecture, Katsinam and the Land, currently on view at the Denver Art Museum. What O’Keeffe found, when she came to New Mexico, was a place where her study of line moved from the verticals of the New York City skyscrapers that championed America’s rise as an industrial power to the horizontal adobe structures and mesas of New Mexico — another American icon, but one much more about native people and ancient traditions than the rise of a new world superBoulder Weekly

power. What she said of her first trip to New Mexico was that she had found a place that matched her perfectly. “She had this great quote that, ‘The first time I came to New Mexico, I knew this place was mine,’ and something to the effect of, ‘It matched me just perfectly,’” says Thomas Smith, director of the Petrie Institute of Western American Art at the Denver Art Museum. “So I think it was that instant thing, and I think we’ve all experienced that from time to time. You find some place that you’re like, ‘Oh wow, this is my spot,’ and I think that happened to her.” The exhibition was curated around a sense of place, of understanding O’Keeffe and what New Mexico meant Boulder Weekly

for her, and will tour museums around the country. But at the Denver Art Museum, what Smith and John Lukavic, associate curator of native arts, have been able to add is an influx of Native American art, drawn from the museum’s collection. The Denver Art Museum began collecting American Indian art in the 1920s — it was one of the first art museums to do so — and now has some 20,000 art objects by Native Americans. Among them are the katsina tithu, also referred to as kachina or katsina dolls, which represent spiritual beings that visited the Hopi tribes of the Southwest each year during the harvest. see O’KEEFFE Page 30

O’Keeffe did a total of 17 paintings of katsina tithu, and the exhibition includes 15. They have rarely been exhibited, much less shown side by side with the katsina tithu, whose forms, colors and lines show how truly O’Keeffe was engaging with those artworks. “It’s a sort of curious aspect to her work in that she didn’t talk about them much, she didn’t write about them much — she did a little bit. But also she didn’t exhibit these works, and so no one has really ever studied them and they’ve never really been presented together like this,” Smith says. “So it’s kind of a curious thing. You’re going, ‘OK, why was she attracted to these? Why did she paint them?’ And I think there are some obvious answers to that, the first being, she found them really beautiful objects. I mean she was really interested in them for their aspects, like their color and forms, all the things that she was thinking about. She’s thinking about color, she’s thinking about form, and she looks at churches and architecture and landscape, and then here are these katsina that have great form and color and abstract design. It’s just again, the idea of matching — it’s just the perfect natural match.” Far from the ethnographic cataloguing artists often undertook at the turn of the 20th century, seeking to preserve native cultures before they vanished, O’Keeffe’s interest appears to be one solely of artistic merit. “Maybe at first you could see that as sort of naïve,” Smith says. “I see that as just the opposite. It’s sort of her acknowledgement of this native art form and the understanding of line and

form and color that native artists had, and something that she’s trying to develop herself. These people and these objects — it was already there. They had it and they understood it.” O’Keeffe — who had lived for years in New York before an invitation to Taos in 1929 brought her to New Mexico for more than a stopover on a train — had been searching for a place that held a personal connection for her, visiting Texas and Colorado’s Rocky Mountain National Park. Her home in New York was filled with the busy life of Stieglitz’s art galleries or, when they retreated to Lake George, N.Y., crowded by his extensive family. “The noise and confusion of the Stieglitz family there, and that of visits from Stieglitz’s friends, compromised the quiet and solitude O’Keeffe needed for her work,” Co-Curator Barbara Buhler Lynes wrote in the introduction in the exhibition catalogue. “Moreover, she felt increasingly stifled by that environment and determined that she needed to work in a place that held meaning for her and would provide her with fresh inspiration.” New Mexico gave so much more than a quiet place to work. In an era when American Modernism was searching for distinctly American imagery, it gave O’Keeffe plenty of fodder. “I think the most important part about the landscape in particular in New Mexico is it matched her ideology of American Modernism just perfectly,” Smith says. “It was just the same way as she said, it matched her personality or matched her ideas about painting and that landscape Boulder Weekly

therefore, a bit of a conundrum. Though they are effectively owned by their “parent company,” Jon and the rest of the teenagers are free to terminate their employment and join the proletariat anytime they want. The introduction of the opiate opens the door to any number of plot lines about control, self-medication or the nexus between corporate profiteering and mental health, but none of these ideas are explored. With its wet-wired world and the borderline aphasiac consequences of pulling the plug, Jon sets up a truly interesting, multi-leveled quandary with the potential to touch on issues of morality, responsibility and group dynamics. When it fails to till this fertile philosophical and theatrical ground, instead opting to approach it in the most simplistic, binary manner, a great opportunity slips through the play’s fingers. As he did in How the World Began, Wuestewald shows a considerable amount of acting acumen. He is just as believable here as an urbane yet confused pseudo-celebrity from the future as he was there as an ultra-religious country bumpkin from the present day. In the supporting role of a corporate caregiver with a sliver of soul remaining, Jason Maxwell also deserves much praise. Jon comes alive every time he joins a scene.

eredith Monk has accumulated many titles during her nearly 50 years as a performer. She is a commissioned composer, a choreographer, a vaunted contributor to the avant-garde explorations of downtown New York City in the ’60s, a director, a filmmaker, a dancer. She is a breathing encyclopedia of the human voice, a living catalogue of the range of expression available to the singer. Her performances range from seated, solo a cappella performances to mass ensemble productions involving dance, music and film. Her work has earned numerous accolades, including a $500,000 genius grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and a Guggenheim Fellowship. A tireless creator and performer, she recently sang two nights of John Cage songs with the New World Symphony in Miami, and when she comes to Boulder on Wednesday, March 13, she will perform and lecture and teach every day through Sunday, March 17. (All events are open to the public.) Monk, 70, shows no signs of slowing down. After all her successes and accomplishments as an artist, she has yet to draw herself away from the urge to create. “I’m trying to get a balance. I think the last four or five years, I’ve never worked as hard, with so much intensity in my entire life,” she told Boulder Weekly. “On one hand, I definitely want to have more space and more contemplative time. I try to practice my meditation every day. I really want that kind of time. At the same time, I have this feeling that it’s now or never; I won’t get these things done if I don’t do them now.” A fourth-generation singer, Monk started performing in 1965, just after graduating from Sarah Lawrence College in Yonkers, N.Y. She created her own degree, studying classical music, opera and theater, dance and choreography. Her early pieces integrated all those elements and more, but shortly after graduating she had an epiphany about her voice that would help shape the rest of her career. She realized she could express just about anything with it, her voice had the flexibility of “a spine” and contained a multitude of potential feelings and sounds. She began exploring the potential of her voice, and, those explorations became “the core of the work,” she says. Monk realized she could develop a vocabulary with her voice, much like a choreographer does with the body. “Within [voices], male and female, were different

lect and from a more ... intuitive space, what we might say a space of no mind or not thinking. Then there’s ... what Trungpa Rinpoche called ‘the secret.’ It’s a place of epiphany.”) Boulder Weekly talked with Monk about fear in the creative process, the meaning of contemplative art and the history of her unique, amazing voice. Boulder Weekly: You have very traditional music performers [a cantor, conservatory-trained musicians, a radiojingle singer] in your family. So what drove you to the fringes of art? Meredith Monk: I guess I always felt that I wanted to create. I always had that strong impulse even as a child. I always loved to make things. I think that when you come from a family like that, it’s hard to find your spot. I had some sense of urgency to find my own way that was my own expression and my own way of thinking about things. Can you explain what being a contemplative artist means to you? Number one, I feel that my work has always had that aspect, even before I knew anything about Buddhism, in that it very much goes from the inside out. It starts with a lot of quiet and silence and then what comes from that ends up being the insight, or the musical material. I really try to start from zero every time I make a piece, like beginner’s mind, as painful and as terrifying as that is. Just start from there with no assumptions and no past on my back and really try to discover what the world of that piece is and what it wants. The world of that piece, the principles of that world. There’s a lot of listening involved. That’s a very contemplative approach as opposed to taking stuff from the outside and making something from that. How much do you consider the audience when you write a piece? Well I’m making a piece for other human beings; I’m not making it for myself. (Laughs) Of course, I’m trying to make my music and theater pieces as clear and direct and as rich as possible, perceptually, emotionally, spiritually, physically. It’s really making work as an offering to other people. But you have to start with what your truth is, and you have to try to be very rigorous and meticulous about letting the forms become [self-evident] with as much clarity and discipline as possible, because otherwise you really have nothing to give to other people. But of course, I’m doing it for other people, so I’m

characters, different landscapes, different emotions,” she says. “I started deeply exploring the voice. I felt like I was born to do it. I had that crazy feeling of going back to my family, blood.” Monk has a long history with Boulder. In 1975, she came to Naropa University to teach a masters class on voice and movement. She came back again in ’76, and several times after that in the ’70s and ’80s. It was there she met school founder Trungpa Rinpoche, the creator of the Shambhala Buddhist tradition. In 1985, she became Buddhist after reading Rinpoche’s book, Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior. “I was exploring and searching at the time, and I went to all of Rinpoche’s talks in both ’75 and ’76 that I could,” she says. “I was skeptical about any kind of ‘organized religion,’ even though Buddhism is not religion, but still I was very open.” Monk calls herself a contemplative artist, a somewhat nebulous term describing a mindful approach to artistic creation. (Sue Hammond West, director of Naropa’s School of the Arts, defines contemplative artists as people who draw from three areas, “their intel-

allie Ford says that growing up, she was more comfortable singing in groups than by herself. (Her sister, after all, was the one with the performance flair.) Sallie was never one for the spotlight, she says. You’d just never guess that, listening to her music. Ford’s voice is the opposite of camera-shy. On the contrary, her powerful pipes arrive on your ears like a bucket of ice water. Her belting, aggressive punkmeets-rockabilly voice demands attention and forms the centerpiece of her band, Sallie Ford and the Sound Outside, whose era- and / It all sounds the same / What have genre-blending sound comes together these people done to music?”). on Untamed Beast, the band’s recently Untamed Beast hearkens back to a released second album. couple decades’ worth of country and Given the spate of tough-gal lyrics blues, and it carries a decidedly vintage on her album (“I could take all that tone.

one and not other ones. But maybe because it isn’t really specific?” Born and raised in the mountains of North Carolina, Ford experimented with various artistic mediums before settling as a musician. Before she moved to Portland, Ore., in 2006, she had never before played in a band. She fell in with a group of transplanted Alaskans and became Sallie Ford with her band. From friends with left to right are drummer Ford Ford Tennis, Tyler Tornfelt Tennis, who was and Jeffrey playing in a band Munger with bassist Tyler Tornfelt. Ford found her guitarist when she kept running into Jeffrey Munger busking around Portland. The three members are the only band she’s ever really played with, Ford says. When she first started playing music, she wanted to create an indiesounding band with jazzy vocals on top. But she found that to be a little too restrictive, and she wanted to play music with more of an edge. “I was listening to a lot of Saddle Creek and Sub Pop stuff in high school. I thought it’d be cool to do a band like that but with jazz vocals, like Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald,” Ford says. “That was cool, but I think for me it was too proper. So just over time I think I found the roughness in that, or the more rockin’ sound in that. Also, performing it’s just better for me and more interesting to have music that has energy and that makes people want to dance.” And dance they will. Ford’s music is infectious and addictive, so it’s not hard to imagine the band playing a room packed with gyrating bodies. As for the possibility that Ford might continue to dial up the rock in the band’s sound? That might be the most exciting possibility of all. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

here’s a new “Incan superfood” popping up around Boulder. “Incan” because it’s a Peruvian root plant, which grows exclusively in the Andes and has been cultivated for more than 2,000 years, and a “superfood” because gram for gram, the plant packs a ton of nutrients. Maca, the mighty superfood, has hit the shelves of Boulder, and it comes bearing a number of red flags. Traveling all the way to Peru to import the plant uses fossil fuels to make the transcontinental trip. Secondly, local herbalists say that maca is just a fad; moreover, they say the amount of maca being added to Western products is trivial. And lastly, many say that maca is an illusion; it’s not the end-all, be-all solution. Maca, or Lepidium meyenii, is being sold by several natural grocers in town, including Lucky’s Market, Alfalfa’s Market and Whole Foods. All three companies offer maca as a supplement in pill and powder form. Alfalfa’s juice bar offers it as a smoothie add-in, and both Alfalfa’s and Whole Foods carry a number of raw cereals, chocolate bars and protein bars that feature maca as an ingredient. The words “raw,” “energy” and “vitality” are all splattered across packages, accompanied by messages of maca’s alluring ability to boost libido and increase stamina. “That’s the problem with maca,” says Lisa Ganora, director of the Colorado School of Clinical Herbalism (CSCH). “It’s the newest fad.”

Maca mania

Ganora disagree with the evidence. They just argue that the amount of maca being added as an ingredient to raw bars, granola and smoothies is trivial. “It’s like having a big dinner and calling two peas on your plate your serving of vegetable,” says Lubovich. “You know, it’s like adding spirulina and bee pollen to bars. It looks good, but it’s such a small amount, it’s trivial.” Mic LeBel, brand communications expert for Nativas Naturals, a company that has been bringing raw maca powder to North America since 2003, disagrees with Lubovich. “We promote getting a lot of diversity in your diet,” says LeBel. “Even if it is in small quantities, maca makes up a significant amount of nutrients that your body can and will use.” Dried maca powder is more than 10 percent protein and contains seven essential amino acids. As a root crop, maca contains five times more protein than a potato and four times more fiber, according to a report published by BeWellBuzz magazine. “Maca is definitely a unique food, and there is nothing like it as far as the chemistry and complexity of nutrients,” says LeBel. “It’s like comparing apples to oranges or gojis to oranges in a sense.”

New Incan superfood stirs mixed emotions in Boulder by Abby Faires Kevin Lubovich, a natural living expert at Lucky’s Market, agrees. “Everyone is always looking for something new,” says Lubovich. “We’re always chasing the illusion, thinking of what’s next — what’s the next new thing, and there’s always something. It’s just like it was with chia seeds, then amaranth and quinoa. Now it’s maca.” Studies have suggested that maca has energizing and fertility-enhancing properties, and it can help sexual dysfunction, osteoporosis, memory and exposure to UV radiation. And neither Lubovich nor

cuisine review

any times, when you set foot in a Boulderarea deli, you’ll experience a certain degree of geographic predictability. Often you’ll see images of New York landmarks, such as the Statue of Liberty, to help build Big Apple culinary cred. North Boulder’s D’Angelo’s Italian Deli follows a different tack, as this hospitable family-run spot embraces all things Philadelphia. For example, one of the walls features a mural of pugilist Rocky Balboa in a moment of triumph, which I reckon beats Marion Cobretti. More importantly, the sandwiches and salads borrow their names from such Philly locales as Germantown and Rittenhouse Square. These monikers were of particular interest to lunch partner Carin, who identified some of these venues as her grandparents’ home turf. Familial venues aside, the menu features a quartet of entree salads, featuring such ingredients as arugula, proscuitto, sun-dried tomato and tuna salad. Cold sandwiches abound, including vegetarian, turkey, roast beef and Italian combo selections. Flagship hot sandwiches feature meatballs, including vegetarian ones, and roast pork. To begin, we shared a cup of the $3 soup of the day, cream of broccoli with pancetta. While some might covet a more dairy-rich version, this was a chunkier, healthier soup that featured more green vegetable than usual. While it was difficult to discern the taste of smoked pork, a side of bread and endearingly crunchy crouton provided more than adequate recompense. Carin waxed rhapsodic about the bread enveloping her $6.95 six-inch Grandma Dot’s Meatball Parmigiana.

combination of meats and seasoning, including hints of anise. Both the sauce and spheres would be worthy of topping a pricey plate of pasta. As Carin put it, “It’s exactly what you want from a meatball sub.” I’d go a step further and submit it could be the best in town. One of the City of Brotherly Love’s best-known hot sandwiches is the Italian roast pork hoagie. I ordered the six-inch $6.95 South Philly, composed of provolone, broccoli rabe and marinated pork prepared in broth. At first bite, I found the pork mild. Then I encountered a spot in the D’Angelo’s Italian Deli bread where the hearty 3325 28th St. #1, broth had soaked Boulder through, and the sand303-247-9000 wich became alive with flavor.

The pizzeria, which also has seven California locations, makes “Chicago-style and Italian pizzas,” with an emphasis on freshly-made food and a cornmeal crust for its pan pizzas. Patxi’s (pronounced PAH-cheese) is launching the cornmeal crust strictly in Denver as part of its Chicago-style deep dish pies. Like Colorado favorite Beau Jo’s, Patxi’s recommends finishing the crust with honey. For more information, see patxispizza.com.

FATE TO START BREWING PROCESS

FATE Brewing Company has officially opened its brewery, housed within the company’s restaurant on 38th Street. The brewing company, which up to now has been serving collaboration concoctions made with other breweries, will now start brewing its own beer. The beer is expected to be available by late March, the company says. FATE’s brewing operation is headed by former Golden City Brewery brewer Jeff Griffith. At Golden City Brewery, Griffith helped create unusual beers like the JavaPeño Imperial Stout.

MACA from Page 49

Ganora argues that while maca can be very powerful, dandelion root, which can be grown in Boulder, is just as good. “We’re Americans, so it’s like, ‘Ahhh, what can we have next?’” she says. “But just ’cause it’s from the Andes doesn’t mean it’s any better than what’s under your feet. You don’t need to go all the way to the Andes for it, you know. You can grow a root in your backyard.” Alanna Whitney, an herbalist and student at CSCH, agrees with Ganora. “The herbs that are popular are faddist,” she says. “They’re Amazonian and fancy and exciting. But people don’t realize that something like chamomile can be super powerful.” For both Whitney and Ganora there is an ethical component that comes with North Americans traveling all the way to Peru to extract maca. “You gotta think about the rattledout, gas-guzzling trucks you’re driving to reach these farmers, the middlemen you are using to do business and the airplanes you’re flying home,” Ganora says. “You gotta think, ‘Is that really the best way that I can heal myself?’” A statement made by Zach Adelman, the founder of Nativas Naturals, was featured in the company’s July newsletter speculating on the impacts of global warming on the maca growing season. “The harvest season has been getting later and later into the winter,” he wrote. “I suspect that the change is due to global warming. It’s alarming that environmen-

tal problems generated so far away in industrialized nations could be impacting the Andes ecosystem and the native people inhabiting this remote place.” When asked about their company’s carbon footprint on the region, LeBel, the company’s spokesperson, found it difficult to come up with a solid answer. “It’s hard to get around the issue of ‘These are international foods, and we do source them from faraway places,’” says LeBel. “But in doing so, our emphasis is primarily on making sure the sustainability of that harvest and the sourcing of that product is as good as it can be.” LeBel says that one of the biggest reasons maca is becoming increasingly popular is that consumers are becoming more aware of what they’re eating and the impact it can have on their health. “I think people in general are starting to look for health through their food,” says LeBel. “Food is medicine, and more and more people are reading labels closer.” Herbalists like Ganora, however, fear that consumers are missing a piece of that label: the vast distances that companies are trekking to bring these superfoods home. “There really is no separation between human health and environmental health,” says Ganora. “It’s about being your own authority and experimenting and educating yourself about what’s good for you.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com Boulder Weekly

Big beers and food fixes

At Louisville’s Gravity, another clever cuisine workaround by Steve Weishampel

e didn’t have much hope for food in Gravity Brewing’s Louisville warehouse. They’ve got a billionfoot-long bar and pool and pingpong tables, but there’s no sign of dining until we smell someone else’s fries. We grab menus, which we’ve already read carefully. Not a victual Elizabeth Miller in sight. Then Elizabeth spots the window on the east wall that opens into the neighboring warehouse in the industrial park. It’s the home of the American Legion Post 111, and it’s the kitchen for Gravity’s customers, who queue up and order burgers, fries and pretzels from the Legion’s menu. This is probably the oddest arrangement we’ve encountered for serving food to brewery patrons, but not by much. Back at Niwot’s Bootstrap, we saw a file organizer full of local restaurants’ menus. At Avery, you order off an Avery menu with an Avery server, who brings you food from Savory Cuisines across the alley. Asher has a steady rotation of food trucks parked just outside the front door. There are the traditional brewpubs, of course, like Boulder Beer and BJ’s. And places like Shine built their reputations on their food before ever mixing barley and water. But for a good number of Boulder County breweries, feeding the masses involves a workaround or an improvised solution. Colorado’s regulatory structure is often mentioned as one of the reasons for the craft beer explosion here. State law allows breweries to sell on-site, which many states don’t allow. But there’s still a sizeable labyrinth of state and federal rules, and breweries need to make a decision in their application of whether they’re a “brewpub” or a “brewery” — if they’ll be serving food, Boulder Weekly

which has to account for 15 percent of their sales, or if they don’t want to serve food at all. “People start brewpubs if they want to start restaurants,” Gravity owner John Frazee tells me by phone after our visit. “People who are just brewers don’t want to have a thing to do with that. It’s just a nightmare.” Frazee’s workaround allows Gravity to focus strictly on the beer, and that’s a very good thing. Even within the brewery’s high-alcohol concept — it’s not called “Gravity” because they like basic laws of physics — there’s a ton of variety in the offerings here. It’s not all the heavy-handed stuff like imperial stouts. But let’s start with there, because of course Gravity’s got one. Tsar Bomba, the imperial stout that just returned to the taps, deserves a place among Boulder County’s best. Malty, brownsugary, molasses-y and heavy at 11 percent ABV, the Tsar is an instant classic. Naturally, Gravity also offers a double IPA with an alcohol content just under 10 percent. But it’s beyond those obvious highgravity beers that Gravity is most surprising. The double red rye and ESB, two rarely seen styles, are both great examples of their styles, with sharp spice from the rye and a caramel sweetness from the ESB. The Mendacious Belgian blonde has surprising depth and a mouthfeel best described as slightly chewy. Banana and citrus flavors shine through, as well as some acidity. In the perfect example of the Gravity philosophy, the menu calls it “highly drinkable” and says it clocks in at 8.1 percent ABV. Call a cab. Next stops: J Wells, 2516 49th St. #5, Boulder, 5 p.m. March 7; Left Hand, 1265 Boston Ave., Longmont, March 14. Members of the public are welcome.

The noodle soup here is a far cry from the dime-a-pack fare favored by starving students, and comes with a choice of salt, soy sauce or spicy miso broth. Toothsome noodles couple with such ingredients as pickled red ginger, sweet corn, fish cake and roast pork. For those desiring something other than noodles, this family-friendly spot also features reasonably simple sushi rolls and nigiri.

astrology ARIES

MARCH 21-APRIL 19:

Go to RealAstrology.com to check out Rob Brezsny’s EXPANDED WEEKLY AUDIO HOROSCOPES and DAILY TEXT MESSAGE HOROSCOPES. The audio horoscopes are also available by phone at 1-877873-4888 or 1-900-950-7700.

Maybe you’re not literally in exile. You haven’t been forced to abandon your home and you haven’t been driven from your power spot against your will. But you may nevertheless be feeling banished or displaced. It could be due to one of the conditions that storyteller Michael Meade names: “We may experience exile as a lack of recognition, a period of transition, an identity crisis, a place of stuckness, or else having a gift and no place to give it.” Do any of those describe your current predicament, Aries? The good news, Meade says, is that exile can shock you awake to the truth about where you belong. It can rouse your irrepressible motivation to get back to your rightful place.

TAURUS

APRIL 20-MAY 20:

Do you have a recurring nightmare that has plagued you? If so, I suspect it will recur again soon. Only this time, Taurus, you will beat it. You will trick or escape or defeat the monster that’s chasing you. Or else you will outrun the molten lava or disperse the tornado or fly up off the ground until the earth stops shaking. Congratulations on this epic shift, Taurus. Forever after you will have more power over the scary thing that has had so much power over you.

GEMINI

MAY 21-JUNE 20:

The following request for advice appeared on Reddit.com: “My identical twin is stuck in an alternate dimension and she can only communicate with me by appearing as my own reflection in mirrors and windows. How can I tell her I don’t like what she’s done to her hair?” This question is a variant of a type of dilemma that many of you Geminis are experiencing right now, so I’ll respond to it here. I’m happy to say that you will soon get an unprecedented chance to commune directly with your alter egos. Your evil twin will be more available than usual to engage in meaningful dialog. So will your doppelganger, your shadow, your mirror self, and your stunt-person.

CANCER

JUNE 21-JULY 22:

Usually I advise Cancerians to draw up precise borders and maintain clear boundaries. As a Crab myself, I know how important it is for our well-being that we neither leak our life force all over everything nor allow others to leak their life force all over us. We thrive on making definitive choices and strong commitments. We get into trouble when we’re wishy-washy about what we want. OK. Having said all that fatherly stuff, I now want to grant you a partial and temporary license to get a little wild and fuzzy. Don’t overdo it, of course, but explore the smart fun you can have by breaking some of your own rules and transgressing some of the usual limits.

LEO

JULY 23-AUG. 22:

In the course of formulating his theory of evolution, Charles Darwin read many books. He developed a rather ruthless approach to getting what he needed out of them. If there was a particular part of a book that he didn’t find useful, he simply tore it out, cast it aside, and kept the rest. I recommend this as a general strategy for you in the coming week, Leo. In every situation you’re in, figure out what’s most valuable to you and home in on that. For now, forget the irrelevant and extraneous stuff.

VIRGO

AUG. 23-SEPT. 22:

Here’s a passage from Charles Dickens’ novel Great Expectations: “It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.” Judging from the astrological omens, Virgo, I suspect your life may be like that in the coming days. The emotional tone could be sharply mixed, with high contrasts between vivid sensations. The nature of your opportunities may seem warm and bright one moment, cool and dark the next. If you regard this as interesting rather than difficult, it won’t be a problem, but rather an adventure.

LIBRA

SEPT. 23-OCT. 22:

“I worked as a hair stylist in Chicago’s Gold Coast for

Boulder Weekly

20 years with some of the most gorgeous women and men in the world,” writes sculptor Rich Thomson. “Once I asked a photographer who shot for the big magazines how he picked out the very best models from among all these great-looking people. His response: ‘Flaws. Our flaws are what make us interesting, special, and exotic. They define us.’“ My challenge to you, Libra, is to meditate on how your supposed imperfections and oddities are essential to your unique beauty. It’s a perfect moment to celebrate — and make good use of — your idiosyncrasies.

New Strain Alert!

SOUR KUSH, BIG BUBBA DIESEL, HEROJUANA & SUPER LEMON

SCORPIO

OCT. 23-NOV. 21:

The genius of Leonardo da Vinci was in part fueled by his buoyant curiosity. In his work as an artist, musician, inventor, engineer, and writer, he drew inspiration from pretty much everything. He’s your role model for the coming week, Scorpio. Just assume that you will find useful cues and clues wherever you go. Act as if the world is full of teachers who have revelations and guidance specifically meant for you. Here’s some advice from da Vinci himself: “It should not be hard for you to stop sometimes and look into the stains of walls, or ashes of a fire, or clouds, or mud or like places, in which, if you consider them well, you may find really marvelous ideas.”

SAGITTARIUS NOV. 22-DEC. 21:

Ready for a reality check? It’s time to assess how well you know the fundamental facts about where you are located. So let me ask you: Do you know which direction north is? Where does the water you drink come from? What phase of the moon is it today? What was the indigenous culture that once lived where you live now? Where is the power plant that generates the electricity you use? Can you name any constellations that are currently in the night sky? What species of trees do you see every day? Use these questions as a starting point as you deepen your connection with your specific neighborhood on planet Earth. Get yourself grounded!

CAPRICORN

DEC. 22-JAN. 19:

There’s a writer I know whose work is brilliant. Her ideas are fascinating. She’s a champion of political issues I hold dear. She’s well-read and smarter than me. Yet her speech is careless and sloppy. She rambles and interrupts herself. She says “uh,” “you know,” and “I mean” so frequently that I find it hard to listen, even when she’s saying things I admire. I considered telling her about this, but decided against it. She’s an acquaintance, not a friend. Instead, I resolved to clean up my own speech — to make sure I don’t do anything close to what she does. This is a strategy I suggest for you, Capricorn: Identify interesting people who are not fully living up to their potential, and change yourself in the exact ways you wish they would change.

AQUARIUS

JAN. 20-FEB. 18:

The German word “verschlimmbesserung” refers to an attempted improvement that actually makes things worse. Be on guard against this, Aquarius. I fear that as you tinker, you may try too hard. I’m worried you’ll be led astray by neurotic perfectionism. To make sure that your enhancements and enrichments will indeed be successful, keep these guidelines in mind: 1. Think about how to make things work better, not how to make things look better. 2. Be humble and relaxed. Don’t worry about saving face and don’t overwork yourself. 3. Forget about short-term fixes; serve long-range goals.

PISCES

FEB. 19-MARCH 20:

“Telling someone your goal makes it less likely to happen,” says musician and businessman Derek Sivers. Numerous studies demonstrate that when you talk about your great new idea before you actually do it, your brain chemistry does an unexpected thing. It gives you the feeling that you have already accomplished the great new idea — thereby sapping your willpower to make the effort necessary to accomplish it! The moral of the story: Don’t brag about what you’re going to do someday. Don’t entertain people at parties with your fabulous plans. Shut up and get to work. This is especially important advice for you right now.
