Highroad A new home for poverty in America by Jim Hightower
I
t’s been nearly 50 years since poverty in America was a front-burner issue on our nation’s political agenda — and it’s time to move it up again. Even as those at the top of our society have grown fabulously richer in the past decade, those in the economic middle have seen incomes stagnate and fall, opportunities decline and poverty become not about someone else, but
I, for one, appreciate his intelligent and perceptive articles. It is a good counterpoint to the usual liberals, socialists, anti-frackers and anti-nukers that mostly inhabit Boulder these days. He is correct about fracking and nuclear energy. For the time being, it’s energy that we need due to increasing population. Where do these anti-frackers think the gas comes from that heats their
houses? Thank you for having the courage and fairness to publish his most reasonable thoughts. Bob Waber/Boulder
about them. Numbers that were not even imaginable half a century ago are now our cold reality — 50 million poor people, 51 million more who are “near poor,” almost one in four children under 5 years old living in poverty, and no sign of this mass decline decelerating. The face of American poverty, however, has changed somewhat. In the ’60s, the poor had largely been born into it and were out of most people’s sight — tucked away in backwater rural counties and isolated urban ghettos. This kind of poverty persists, but today’s big jump in numbers comes from families that have been knocked down from a middle-class life — dismayed to find themselves among the long-term unemployed, grabbing at temporary low-paying jobs, and buying meager groceries with food stamps. These are the new poor, but they also constitute a new demographic phenomenon: The suburban poor. Once

the secure base of the middle-class, suburbs have become the fastest-growing home of American poverty. Since 2000, the number of suburban poor has surged by 64 percent, twice the rate of urban poor. By 2011, America’s suburbs held three million more poor people than were in our core cities. American poverty is no longer about “them,” but us — people in our own close circles, living where we live.

DyerTimes Failure to extend drilling moratorium sparks talk of recall election for commissioners by Joel Dyer
I
f the emails crossing my screen these days are to be believed, then last week’s vote by the Boulder County commissioners to allow the county’s moratorium on oil and gas drilling to expire is shaping up to be the Lexington/Concord of the great fracking showdown. On Tuesday, May 21, Commissioners Cindy Domenico, Deb Gardner and Elise Jones took a vote on whether the county’s current drilling moratorium should be extended. Elise Jones put up a good fight to save the county from the coming wave of contamination, but in the end, Domenico and Gardner voted to let the moratorium expire on June 10. As a result, many in the anti-drilling and anti-fracking camp would like to see Domenico’s and Gardner’s careers as elected officials come to an end as well. Not only did the pair vote to let the moratorium end, they also had no interest in putting forward a ballot issue in November that would allow Boulder County residents to decide their own fate when it comes to drilling and fracking. This appears to have left the anti-fracking crowd with few options, aside from trying to initiate a recall effort against Domenico and Gardner. It is an option that is expected to be discussed in upcoming meetings of the various anti-fracking groups around the county. So what are the chances that such a recall effort could be successful? Well, what are the chances that Longmont could ever pass a fracking ban? In the current environment, it would be unwise to take such recall talk lightly. So why was failing to extend the moratorium viewed as the final straw for so many county residents? The answer is pretty simple, because the very future of Boulder County as we have known it is at stake. This is not an exaggeration. Here is what Domenico and Gardner have now voted to allow, for no other reason than because they fear being sued and/or believe that the county is not in a position to challenge the state’s claim that it alone has the authority to regulate the oil and gas 8 May 30, 2013
industry. It is estimated that 1,800 new wells will be drilled on our open lands, in our neighborhoods and backyards. That’s nearly six times as many wells as there are currently producing in the county. Aside from Boulder County’s beautiful landscape being transformed into a Weld-County-esque industrial wasteland, our air quality is going to take a huge hit. Just venting the tanks on these new wells will add an estimated 3.6 million pounds of hydrocarbon contamination into our air, and that doesn’t even take into consideration gas contaminants being burned off, flared or leaked. And make no mistake about it, the wells will leak. The industry’s own literature and estimates tell us that we can expect around 126 of the new wells to leak gas contaminants as soon as they are drilled, while over a 15-year period, we can expect that approximately 1,080 of the wells, 60 percent, will have developed a gas leak at some point. Some will leak to the surface, adding to the ground-level ozone as well as global warming, while other wells will simply leak gas into non-gasbearing formations, some of which may contain groundwater. To drill and frack those 1,800 wells will require between 4 million and 10 million truck trips over our county roads, depending on how many times each well is fracked over its life. The commissioners did vote to charge the oil companies a fee for road damage caused by the trucks, but what about our air quality losses from those trucks? The EPA’s formula for calculating truck contamination, based on 50-mile round trips in class VIIIa heavy trucks, estimates we will be breathing in 5.7 million to 14.2 million pounds of additional diesel exhaust contaminants as a result of oil and gas truck traffic. Spills are also a concern. Based on the current rate of spills in Boulder County from the current 300-or-so producing wells and an examination of the spill rate in adjacent Weld County, see COMMISSIONERS Page 9

danish plan Boulder’s sad siblings by Paul Danish
W
hen the scheme to establish a “sister city” relationship between Boulder and the Palestinian city of Nablus came to light 15 months ago, I wrote a column suggesting that wouldn’t be a good idea because Nablus, and the An Najah University located in Nablus, “were bubbling cesspools of anti-Americanism, anti-Semitism and jihad.” Since a formal request to establish the relationship has now been made to the City Council, let’s revisit some of the particulars from that piece. Item: On Sept. 11, 2001, as 3,000 people were being incinerated in jet fuel or ground into bloody bits of meat by the collapsing towers of the World Trade Center, the residents of Nablus were staging a howling, horn-honking, ululating celebration of the attacks and passing around celebratory trays of sweets and tea. Item: A few weeks later, students at An Najah University put up an elaborate display celebrating the suicide bombing at the Sbarro Pizza restaurant in Jerusalem on Aug. 9, 2001, which killed 15, including half a dozen children, and wounded 130 more. High points of the display, which was so offensive that Yasser Arafat personally ordered it closed, included a re-creation of the restaurant with body parts and pizza slices strewn across the room. It
also depicted a Palestinian behind a rock placed in front of a mannequin of an ultra-Orthodox Jew, with a taped recording broadcast on loudspeakers intoning “O believer, there is a Jewish man behind me. Come and kill him.” Item: Up until October of last year, 14 of the 15 members of the Nablus City Council were affiliated with Hamas. They were elected in 2005. Today, following Palestinian Authoritysponsored local elections held last Oct. 24, there are no Hamas members on the Nablus City Council. That’s progress, after a fashion, but it probably has more to do with the fact that Hamas chose to boycott the elections, which were held under the sponsorship of the rival Palestinian Authority, than with any shift toward moderation. Item: According to the AntiDefamation League, in 2011 the An Najah student council was composed “of student groups known to be affiliated with Hamas and Islamic Jihad.” It said the council “is known for its advocacy of anti-Israel violence and its recruitment of Palestinian college students into terrorist groups,” and that it “glorifies suicide bombings and propagandizes for jihad against Israel.” Hamas itself gives that characterization a big amen. It called An Najah a “greenhouse for martyrs.” With a rap sheet like that, you see SISTERS Page 10

we can estimate that when all the wells are drilled, we will experience approximately 27 spills of hydrocarbons and/or fracking fluids every year, with somewhere around 10 of those spills causing groundwater contamination. Yes, our water will be affected, and it is no secret, despite the denials and misinformation being disseminated by the industry. Compare the following quotes from the industry’s own literature to the false assurances being made by oil and gas executives who keep telling us that the industry has never caused the contamination of our underground aquifers. According to the August 2003 edition of Oilfield Review, a Schlumberger publication, “Many of today’s wells are at risk. Failure to isolate sources of hydrocarbon either early in the wellconstruction process or long after production begins has resulted in abnormally pressured casing strings and leaks of gas into zones that would otherwise not be gas-bearing. … Since the earliest gas wells, uncontrolled migration of hydrocarbons to the surface has challenged the oil and gas industry. … Continued demand for natural gas coupled with increasingly more difficult drilling environments has heightened operator awareness worldwide to the short- and long-term implications of poor zonal isolation.” It will be difficult to prove which company causes what contamination in Boulder County’s groundwater, thanks to the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC), the state agency charged with both promoting the oil and gas industry and supposedly regulating it. That’s because the statewide water testing that is required before and after drilling to protect groundwater and expose those responsible for contaminating it won’t be required in Boulder County. In a bizarre move, the COGCC exempted the Wattenberg field, which lies under much of Weld, Larimer and Boulder counties, from the required testing. Why? I’m sure that it didn’t have anything to do with the fact that Gov. John Hickenlooper’s choice to run the COGCC for the past few years, David Neslin, helped push the exemption through just before he stepped down from the regulatory agency to take a really great job at the law firm of Davis Graham & Stubbs, a firm that represents lots of oil and gas companies, including one of the Wattenberg’s largest oil and gas producers. And while I’ll assume it’s just a coincidence, it’s still bad news for Boulder County residents and their water. What Domenico and Gardner Boulder Weekly
apparently fail to realize is that victory for the county isn’t defined as beating the state’s claim that only the COGCC is authorized to regulate the oil and gas industry. Everyone understands that the state will sue Boulder County if it doesn’t cave in to Hickenlooper’s demands that his oil and gas pals be allowed to decimate any place they choose. We understand that we will be sued and quite likely lose in court down the road. That in and of itself is a victo-
ry.
The victory is in the delay. We need time for the science to catch up to the drilling when it comes to human health and the environment. We need five years, so that the demand for exporting gas overseas diminishes as other global players like China bring their shale gas online, as described in my “Hiding behind the flag” column last week. One way or another, buying time could get us past the current gas boom,

which will, in the not-too-distant future, implode of its own accord due to the low price of gas, lack of a domestic market and the fact that much of today’s shale gas drilling activity is being driven not by demand for gas, but rather by the demands of Wall Street investment bankers who require that publicly traded oil and gas companies continue to grow their reserves on see COMMISSIONERS Page 11

would think that the idea of “sistering” with Nablus would be rejected out of hand. But when it comes to sister cities, Boulder is the girl who can’t say no to weird sisters. At least three of Boulder’s sister cities — Dushanbe in Tajikistan, Lhasa in Tibet and Kisumo in Kenya — have all been the scene of ethnic violence that rises to the level of crimes against humanity. Both the Sister Cities Committee and the Boulder City Council have responded to such events with a profound indifference that would make Kitty Genovese’s neighbors proud. In the case of Dushanbe, the city that gave Boulder the teahouse, ethnic rioting in 1990 that initially targeted a small group of Armenian refugees morphed into a five-year civil war that killed 50,000 to 100,000 people, displaced more than 1.2 million, and left the country in ruins. I don’t recall anyone involved in the Sister Cities Project or the city government ever even acknowledging that anything out of the ordinary was going on. In the case of Lhasa, there was even a grotesque incident in the 1980s in which the puppet mayor of Lhasa was being entertained by the mayor of Boulder at City Hall while Chinese troops were shooting down protestors in the streets of Lhasa. Nothing was said, of course, either about the unpleasantness in Lhasa, or about China’s decades-long campaign to erase traditional Tibetan culture, language and religion. No one in city government or on the Sister Cities Committee, or any Boulder newspaper, saw anything
wrong with that picture. As for Kisumo, two weeks before Kenya’s presidential election last March, Kenyan police reported that “hate leaflets” were circulated in the neighborhoods of the city’s dominant Luo tribe, urging Luos to chase away (ethnically cleanse) Kisumu residents from the Kikuyu tribe. No one around here bothered to say anything about that either. When it comes to sister cities in Boulder, it’s just 24/7 happy talk. When it comes to sister cities, Boulder’s “sisters” are more like the mad aunts in the attic, and their little peccadilloes are treated with the same sort of discretion. Sister cities proponents will tell you that the program is supposed to be non-political (which it isn’t), and that it encourages “people-to-people” contact and understanding. They’ll also tell you that sistering and engaging with folks who don’t necessarily share your values is a good thing, not a bad one, because it builds understanding. And that’s all well and fine in theory, but the truth is that when you run with dogs you get fleas. Boulder’s sister cities are chock full of people who ought to be hauled before the International Criminal Court. When you establish people-to-people relationships with such folks you run the risk of turning yourself into an enabler of their pathologies — especially if you choose to ignore them. Which is exactly what Boulder will do with Nablus if it brings it into the weird sisterhood.

Gov. [ John] Hickenlooper, why did you not support HB 13-1269, introduced by Rep. [Mike] Foote? What a shame. This bill could have created some good will from the concerned citizens of Longmont and other communities in Colorado who are being bullied by oil and gas companies. Many of these oil and gas companies are from out of state or are international. The best interests of our communities are not their priority. The bottom line is that they want our minerals, however they can get
them, and if it means poisoning our air, water and land, so be it. This bill could have protected Colorado residents. It is shocking for those of us who chose to move to the Front Range for its beauty, health, lifestyle and high education rate to find out that all of this is threatened by an industry’s plan to significantly increase fracking activity in our communities. Instead of supporting a bill that would help protect Colorado residents, we have a governor who concedes to corporate exploitation. We need to champion an ethical candidate for the next election who will represent his constituents and not sue them, as in the case of Longmont. We need a new governor.

paper to inflate their stock values, making them desirable targets for mergers or acquisitions. It’s a scam and a bubble. We just have to make sure the county hasn’t been permanently degraded before the whole thing runs its course and the drilling frenzy slows or stops completely. Boulder County doesn’t need to fear being sued. Instead, it needs to have a quiver filled with delay tactics to tie up the drillers and the permit process in the courts as long as possible. And it is imperative that the quiver include a drilling moratorium, which should be extended continuously until the courts find a way to step in and stop it. The anti-drilling and anti-fracking movement is changing tactics, and so is the industry. Those opposed to fracking are now moving towards more proactive action, including peaceful civil disobedience and political pressure, such as attempting to recall politicians like Domenico and Gardner, who are viewed as unwilling to stand up to the oil and gas industry. The industry is turning up the heat as well. As reported by CNBC more than a year ago, the oil and gas industry is now treating the fight to frack our lands as something more similar to a war or occupation than a business decision. Consider these remarks made and recorded at a hydraulic fracturing industry conference at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Houston. The manager of external affairs for Anadarko Petroleum, Matt Carmichael, told those gathered that he had a few helpful suggestions for them, including one that came compliments of the military. He told his fellow frackers, “Download the U.S. Army/Marine Corps Counterinsurgency Manual, because we are dealing with an insurgency. There’s a lot of good lessons in there, and coming from a military background, I found the insight in that extremely remarkable.” Similarly, Range Resources Communications Director Matt Pitzarella gave a talk on “overcoming stakeholder concerns” when it comes to fracking. His suggestion, “We have several former psy ops [psychological operations] folks that work for us at Range because they’re very comfortable in dealing with localized issues and local governments … having that understanding of psy ops in the Army and in the Middle East has applied very helpfully here for us in Pennsylvania.” I should point out that it is illegal for “psy ops” to be used on the American people. It is a powerful miliBoulder Weekly
tary tool designed strictly for screwing with the enemies of our nation in a military setting, not for dealing with U.S. citizens opposed to the actions of a private corporation, such as fracking. By the time this is over, few in Boulder County will be left on the sidelines. Now is the time to educate ourselves and choose a side. Will we fight to preserve our and our children’s health, our clean air and water, our
property values, and our long-held quality of life, or will we accept that we must allow all these things we cherish to be destroyed because a few politicians tell us we have no choice in the matter since the profits of a handful of companies are more important? It would be nice if commissioners Domenico and Gardner would change their minds and help Elise Jones extend the moratorium on drilling in Boulder
County. But if they won’t, I suspect that the citizens of this county will find a way to get Jones the second vote she needs to make it happen. Time is running out, and the stakes are simply too high to not take whatever action is needed to keep the moratorium in place.

T
he Bridge House, which provides food and other resources to homeless in the Boulder area, is poised to cut the ribbon on a new commercial kitchen that will do much more than simply expand the amount of food the organization can serve. The kitchen will also help the Bridge House address one of its other primary missions: Helping the homeless find jobs. The organization plans to employ homeless individuals at the kitchen. And they won’t just be serving their peers, they’ll be getting the training they need to go on to a career in the food service industry. The addition of the large kitchen, which will open in early July near Arapahoe Avenue and 55th Street, will also permit Bridge House to make more use of what it grows in its community garden, improving the quality and freshness of the meals it serves. •••• Doug McKee has spent eight months in the Bridge House’s Ready to Work program, an initiative designed to give homeless individuals transitional work as they get back on their feet. The Army veteran spent about 20 years in the Aspen area, regularly living outdoors in a tent because he couldn’t afford rent in the ritzy town. He worked in the restaurant business and served as a backcountry guide on snowmobile and horseback trips. He spent some time in Glenwood Springs, living briefly in the Hotel Colorado while cooking there, then building his own home out of “cedar and mud.” He decided to sober up in a two-year substance abuse program offered by the Department of Veterans Affairs in Cheyenne, Wyo. McKee says the new kitchen — and the Ready to Work program — are making it possible for him to return to the culinary career he started all those years ago. After spending recent months doing landscaping, cleaning parks and doing other odd jobs for the city of Boulder through Ready to Work, he’s just been hired to be kitchen assistant for Bridge House. “It’s all been able to come full circle with me,” McKee says. “I’m sober and I’m cooking again. I grew up in this area, so I’m back home.” Recalling his wilder days running Boulder Weekly
Bridge House employee Doug McKee sweeps the floor at the organization’s new commercial kitchen.
New homeless kitchen will serve more than meals by Jefferson Dodge with the likes of people with names like Smackwater Jack and Crazy-Eyed Jimmy in a homeless gang called the Wrecking Crew, McKee credits the Bridge House’s Ready to Work program with turning lives around. “It’s designed to let you get your foot in the door, and you can do with it what you want,” he says. “If you put 100 percent into it, it will give you 100 percent back. … If you want out of homelessness, you can. For me, it was really a godsend.” •••• Isabel McDevitt, the executive director of Bridge House, says some very interesting findings have emerged from surveys of homeless people taken at the group’s new resource center at the First Presbyterian Church since it opened seven months ago. Of the 417 people served by the
resource center over that period, 41 percent were disabled and half of them reported having mental health issues. According to survey results, 41 percent had drug/alcohol problems, and 24 percent suffered from traumatic brain injuries. About 87 percent reported being unemployed, and 54 percent said they were actively seeking employment. That last figure is especially important, McDevitt says, because it indicates that more employment services like the Ready to Work program are needed in the area. “We provide that stepping stone to get them ready for another job,” she explains, noting that about 75 percent of Ready to Work participants go on to find employment. Many people think the Bridge House is just a soup kitchen, giving free food to the homeless, “but people need more than a meal to get back on their
feet,” McDevitt says, referring to the organization’s entire spectrum of services as the Bridge of Opportunity. “It’s great to feed someone who needs a meal, but let’s get someone a job at the same time. … We’re just going to keep spinning our wheels as a community unless we have real resources for people.” The new kitchen kills both birds with one stone. The acquisition and renovation of the facility, which will initially employ about five Ready to Work participants, was made possible by a $750,000 gift from an anonymous donor. Bridge House closed on the former Seth Ellis Chocolatier property in October, and the remodeling started in April. Workers will learn a variety of skills, including knife skills, sanitary practices, temperature control, food preparation and dishwashing. Currently, McDevitt says, the 60,000 meals served each year at the Bridge House and area churches are prepared at the First United Methodist Church in an eight-hour-a-week timeframe that forces workers to freeze much of what is cooked and rely on prepared and processed foods. The new kitchen will allow Bridge House to move away from those practices. McDevitt says the Bridge House already has a plot at Hawthorn Community Gardens, but the new kitchen expands the types and amounts of food that can be grown there, because it will have more space and better equipment than a church kitchen can offer. There is even talk of using the 2,700-square-foot kitchen’s excess capacity to produce goods that can be sold to area food providers, giving the operation a way to become financially self-sufficient. Or the kitchen could even generate a signature product that could be marketed as locally made, McDevitt says. For now, the meals cooked at the new kitchen will continue to be served at local churches and the Bridge House building. But while the quantity may initially be the same, the quality is expected to be vastly improved. McDevitt says the emphasis on increased nutrition that the new kitchen makes possible is important, because in many cases, it may be the only meal a See HOMELESS Page 14

homeless person receives in a given day. She says Bridge House will now be able to deliver hot breakfasts every weekday, instead of only occasionally. •••• McKee, the chef who has reinvented himself, seems excited as he discusses the capabilities the new kitchen will provide. He says the staff will be able to prepare fresh-made foods every day, and will be able to make their own salads, breads, desserts, soups and sauces.

His new boss, Shari Leyshon, director of nutrition and kitchen initiatives for Bridge House, says the new kitchen’s walk-in cooler will be key to expanding the offerings in both volume and variety. She says Self Solutions, the food safety training operation that serves prominent local restaurant groups like Big Red F, is partnering with the Bridge House to train its kitchen staff, and the Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts has been offering classes on subjects like high-altitude baking.
“All the way around it’s a win-winwin,” she says. McKee says full use of the Bridge House garden is expected to make a big difference among a homeless population that can suffer from health problems because of the lack of a solid nutritional foundation. “Just that little thing can turn a few lives around,” he says. “We’re going to focus on nutrition. That’s where it starts, with good food. And karma.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

by Boulder Weekly staff XCEL ENERGY: TURN DEAD TREES INTO A POWER SOURCE
Xcel Energy has filed with the Colorado Public Utilities Commission for approval of a project that would produce electricity by burning dead wood and using the steam to turn an electrical turbine. Xcel is seeking a 10-year power purchase agreement for the two-megawatt demonstration facility. By making insect-infested and drought-stricken forest biomass into fuel, the biomass generation facility could help address Colorado’s forest health issues, according to Xcel, in addition to increasing understanding about how to use woody biomass byproducts for heat and electricity. “Xcel Energy would gain valuable experience concerning the potential use of biomass for future electricity generation, and we would be able to determine whether this type of technology is a reasonable and promising way to address the health of our Colorado forests,” David Eves, the president and CEO of Public Service Company of Colorado, said in a press release.
The U.S. Forest Service has asked Xcel to provide additional information on the feasibility of this process for generating heat and electricity.

CONTEST MARKS LAUNCH OF SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS WEBSITE
A new website created to connect people to green businesses and nonprofits, Greener50, is hosting a contest as part of its launch promotion. The website, created by Boulder locals Rick Oberreuter and Matt Neidenberg, will provide a business directory and a job board for people looking to connect with and work for sustainable businesses and organizations across the country or learn from industry professionals. The contest asks for entrants to answer the question, “If you had one wish and could solve any environmental problem, what would it be and why?” The contest is open to the public, and winners based on the Greener50 team’s selection and the highest vote-getters will receive a storefront level membership in the new website. Voting is open at www.greener50. com through June 5.

have been developing cleaner, more efficient diesel engines. But he says it’s the “farmers, small business owners and communities” that have benefited from the program. “Many projects have focused on school buses due to the importance of cleaner transportation for children and communities. In addition, the program targeted long-haul trucks, assisting fleets with fuel-saving technologies, and low-
ering emissions,” the EPA report says. The new report comes on the heels of President Obama’s 2014 proposed budget, which would slash the program’s funding from $20 million in fiscal year 2013 to $6 million. Funding already was cut from $50 million in fiscal year 2011 to $30 million in fiscal year 2012. For every federal dollar put into the diesel program from 2008 to 2010,
about $3 was invested by nonprofits, state and local governments and private industry, according to the EPA report. The proposed cuts are “not a very smart strategic move,” Schaeffer says. “The president just announced clean air particulate standards, and will be announcing ozone standards soon, so there will be many more communities that would naturally turn to a program like this to help reduce their emissions.”
Bailey said the program is “one of the few areas where we’ve been handin-hand with the diesel industry.” “The diesel industry has come a long way,” Bailey says. “It would be really disappointing to see the program funding slashed when it’s been so successful on all accounts.” Brian Bienkowski is a staff writer with Environmental Health News.

climb a 14er. This is a complete change, and it’s an ultimate statement, it really is the ultimate thing.” As part of the Colorado-based No Barriers What’s Your Everest? climb on Saturday, June 1, Hassell will be attempting her fifth 14er as she joins a diverse group of climbers — from novice to expert — on an ascent of Front Range classic Grays Peak (14,270 feet). The climb will raise money for No Barriers, an organization that provides transformative experiences to empower people to embrace a no-limits mindset and discover the potential that lies within themselves and the world. Created in 2005, No Barriers operates on the assumption that each person, regardless of age, state of mind or physical condition, has a thirst for adventure and a hope for the future that is worthy of igniting. The organization started with a summit featuring innovative technologies that enabled people with and without disabilities to envision a full and active life. Later, the group’s mission expanded to include a partnership with Soldiers to Summits and an online educational resource library. Put simply, No Barriers seeks to get people with disabilities or other issues to break free of what they thought was possible, think outside the box and push
themselves and their life into a space that they never thought they’d reach. The organization takes a multi-faceted approach, from assisting with paying for prosthetics as well as providing expertise and funding for bigger projects, such as Antarctic expeditions undertaken by disabled veterans. They’ve supported individual efforts, such as congenital amputee Kyle Maynard’s successful Mt. Kilimanjaro summit attempt. And, locally, they host and organize the What’s Your Everest? climb in Colorado, an opportunity to connect the No Barriers and Soldiers to Summits communities, to raise support and funds for the organizations and, for those like Hassell, to push themselves beyond what they ever dreamed possible. This year’s attempt on Grays is, according to No Barrier’s Katie Watkins, the opportunity to “harness the power of our adversary, connect with others and hear their shared stories and an easy way to immerse yourself in the No Barriers community.” Watkins admits that she doesn’t have an illustrious background as a mountain climber. “The first time I did it,” she says, “I got to climb with the
Soldiers to Summits program. It was a reminder that this person can do this who doesn’t have a leg, and they can go on and live a life that’s pretty full of adventure and fulfilling.” The Grays trip has a variety of people participating. Along with Hassell, Watkins says there will be some disabled veterans from the Soldiers to Summits program, some young adults and a woman who is blind. “It will be her first climbing experience,” says Watkins. “And the goal for her is to make it to the summit.” It was also Jana Zunich’s goal to make it to the summit the first time she attempted a 14er as part of a group with Soldiers to Summits participating in last year’s What’s Your Everest? “I made it to 12,000 feet,” she says of an effort that started due to her husband turning 60 and wanting to make some positive changes to his lifestyle. “He said, ‘I’m turning 60 and I need to have a healthier lifestyle and get into shape,” Zunich says, and laughs. Zunich’s husband, Jim McDonald, is a veteran, having served as a contractor in the Middle East, so, she says, climbing with Soldiers to Summits see SOLDIERS Page 22

xpressions,” a RAW:natural born artists showcase, is mixing different forms of art to generate a new event and creative atmosphere different from any other venue in Boulder. On June 2, the showcase will feature more than 30 up-and-coming local artists, spanning visual art, fashion, photography, performing arts and music. RAW:natural born artists is an organization that works with artists within the first 10 years of their careers, educating them on self-promotion. RAW holds showcases and works with artists in more than 70 cities in the United States, Canada and Australia. Last year, RAW held around a half-dozen showcases in Boulder. “Expressions,” aims to give local artists the exposure needed to jump-start their careers. Artists can have a hard time managing the business side of the art world, says Guilia Pecone, director of the Boulder showcase. Meeting

the right people and getting their work featured and sold can be a struggle. RAW tries to educate artists about the promotional side of their business. “We don’t see ourselves as promoters,” Pecone says. “We’re more like the tools and resources for the artist.” The showcases allow artists to get unique exposure, and they draw an engaged, creative audience that wants to appreciate the art rather than simply check out the event, says jewelry designer Tara Walker. “It’s a totally different kind of atmosphere,” Walker says. “When people go to a show like that, it’s not like a casual, ‘I’m going to walk into this store and kind of give it the Bracelets created by Tara Walker, a jewelry designer featured in “Expressions” once-over and not really care that much.’ If you buy a ticket to go to something like this, you’re invested in taking the time to look at things and Simmons says. “Most artists are kind paired up with musicians, and so now to appreciate them.” of nervous, skeptical about the turn they go to concerts and they do live Photographer out.

Physical theater and the silent tragedy of the inanimate by David Accomazzo
C
laire Patton and Lucia Rich, both wearing allblack clothes for the evening’s rehearsal, are sitting in a studio space in a structure outside a North Boulder home, trying to explain what “physical theater” means. The actors are putting the finishing touches on Quake Theater’s The Awkward Art of Flying, a piece they will debut at the Wesley Chapel on Friday, May 31, and Saturday, June 1. Improvisation is a key aspect in physical theater, the two say, and they demonstrate an uncanny way of completing each other’s sentences as they explain their training. They explain what a “tréteau” is — a small platform on which Lecoq actors will often perform their works — and how the platform’s limited space forces the actors to redefine the vocabulary through which they perform. In lieu of words, they both pop up to demonstrate and mark off an invisible platform with their hands. “Hi Claire!” Rich says cheerily and waves, standing on the wooden floor, braced over an imaginary window and looking down towards the ground. “What are you doing down there?” Patton, standing to Rich’s right, bends her upper body forward and cranes her neck upward.

“Oh, nothing,” she replies casually. The two characters agree to meet on the top floor. Rich goes down and Patton goes up, and they maneuver around each other, trapped within the confines of the invisible platform. Patton is suddenly looking down, and Rich is looking up. “What are you doing down there?” an exasperated Patton asks. After one more vaudevillian switch, the two end their impromptu scene
and sit back down on the wooden floor. “A lot of what gives us joy is timing,” Rich explains. “A lot of the time, the scenes that give us joy just fall into sequence.” The two are trained in the Lecoq method of acting, named after Jacques Lecoq, a Parisian athlete-turned-actor and mime who developed a physical

arilyn Manson doesn’t want to be shocking. In fact, he says that’s impossible. “I think the only thing you can be in today’s world is chaos and confusing,” Manson says. “You can’t be shocking. The minute Kennedy was shot on color TV you can’t be shocking. You can be chaos and confusion, [and that] is what brings the interest, the attention.” Attention is what Manson aims to get when he hits the concert stage, and entertainment is what he aims to deliver. “I guarantee what’s coming your way is going to be enjoyable,” Manson says. “If someone was to see it for if for the first time, they should know I’m enjoying it to the point where I can say it won’t be anything less, at the very worst, than the best thing happening today in rock ’n’ roll. That might not be saying much today. That’s why I wanted to be a Manson had a hit with his cover of the Eurythmics’ rock star.

With his reputation and popularity growing quickly, wasn’t able to live up to what I am supposed to be” —
Manson decided he was depressed. “The only way you can get out of it is to put your [bleeping] boots on, stand up and start kicking your own ass,” he says. So he “let everything go,” putting all his trappings of fame into storage and moving into a spare, warehouse-style Los Angeles space with a pared-down inventory. “It was the first time I’d lived alone,” Manson says. “I went from high school to here. I was living with my parents in high school. Then with [guitarist] Twiggy [Ramirez], then on tour. I had three longterm relationships. I always had somebody living with me. I found it very liberating to do simple tasks, like walk down the street and buy a sandwich. [It wasn’t that] I was spoiled. I’d never had a chance to do it.” Manson started going out and met people — a lot of actors, directors and Hollywood types. “There were no expectations,” he says. “They knew I wrote the song ‘Beautiful People.’ They’d heard about the 36 or more school shooting victims that I’d been blamed for, even though I had nothing to do with it. They knew about my dick getting me in trouble. We became friends like regular people, which is unusual in Hollywood, where you usually lead with your resume.” Soon he brought them back to his place. “I created sort of a factory, like Andy Warhol — and began recording there, with people, mostly girls, watching.” “It would be like reading a book report naked in front of the class,” he says. “It wasn’t embarrassing. It made me do more what I do live.” Those sessions brought Manson back to his roots. “I was sitting in a shitty apartment in Boca Raton, Fla., and had to do this,” he says. “I suddenly found the same inspiration. … I wanted to make music for the reason anyone would write a song in the first place. You want to communicate with the person in front of you. You want to impress a girl.” The result impressed critics, fans and even Manson himself. “I wouldn’t say it’s a fun record,” he says. “I don’t know how people respond to it. But it seems like a strong record to me. This is what I’m good at. This is what I do best.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

he Hangover Part III is so jaw-droppingly terrible, America deserves an explanation. Not because this series has become some nation-defining work of art, but because it sure feels like writer/director Todd Phillips just told everyone who likes his films to go “make sexy-time” to themselves in the most unpleasant of orifices. It isn’t merely unfunny, as unfunny would have been a heaven-sent upgrade. This film plays like depraved fan-fiction used as therapy, in which Phillips gets the last word with critics by flinging poo at them. The criticism levied against The Hangover Part II was redundancy. Stunningly, the objection wasn’t to the increasingly abhorrent behaviors of Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms) and their reluctant friend, Alan (Zach Galifianakis), who is a walking, talking cry for mental health help that people laugh at because of obesity and hair growth. The opening scene is Phillips’ first response to detractors: we see Mr. Chow (Ken Jeong) escape from a Bangkok prison, which indicates a very different tone. On the way to take Alan to rehab, because emotional retardation is apparently cured at Betty Ford’s Clinic, the gang is stopped by a criminal boss named Marshall ( John Goodman), who abducts Doug ( Justin Bartha) and tells the trio they must find Chow. The reasoning for this would be laughable, but all laughter has been outlawed here. The so-called “Wolfpack” hunts for a minor character incapable of doing major plot work and, along the way, mutilates and kills many animals. If that last sentence raised your eyebrows: Congrats on holding on to basic
human decency! In what is clearly a response to PETA’s criticism of the “smoking monkey” character in the last movie, Phillips beheads a giraffe and smothers a rooster to death with a pillow. Later, when two dogs are drugged, seemingly spared the fate of their brethren, we’re told that Chow went back and snapped their necks. Because nothing says comedy like killing pets, am I right, Mike Vick? If Phillips was attempting to indict his characters and their fans for their willingness to accept darker and darker debauchery, then he isn’t a bad person, he’s just bad at what he does. The end product wasn’t some stroke of genius like the Seinfeld finale, in which the morally vacant are held accountable; instead, this is just a laugh-free swim in a sea of deplorable behavior. Don’t worry, they still find time to show Jeong’s exposed genitals one last time. That Jeong has such a huge role is proof no one understood what made the previous films work. Just like the Cookie Monster now describes the food for which he is named, Ken Jeong is only a “sometimes food.” He works only as a bizarre contrast in small doses; too much will cause diabetes or kill you. The Hangover Part III is easily the worst film of the summer and the frontrunner for the year’s title. As it turns out, being redundant is far more entertaining than being original when your “original” idea is a swirling supernova of suck.

Locally grown superfood All a Coloradan needs to know about asparagus by Jessie Lucier
or Front Range gardeners, nature lovers, foodies and road runners, the mark of spring may be better indicated by the first sighting of wild asparagus sprouting up beside roadways, in irrigation ditches and along fences than whether or not Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow in early February. You may be one of the many super foodies who rise at the crack of dawn to make it to the Saturday morning Farmers’ Market before the fresh-picked asparagus is sold out, a gardener eager to begin growing the perennial or a locavore who wants more info on the where and why of local asparagus. Regardless of your personal interest and affection for asparagus, it’s fun to note that asparagus is much more than a vegetable that jokingly compromises the scent of urine in up to 50 percent of the population, prompting French novelist Marcel Proust to famously write in 1913 that asparagus “transforms my chamber-pot into a flask of perfume.” Asparagus has a rich history.

ASPARAGUS BEGINS TO LOSE FIRMNESS, FLAVOR AND NUTRIENTS AS SOON AS IT IS HARVESTED.
ASPARAGUS from Page 41
is known that Muslims brought it to Spain during the conquest of Iberia. Asparagus, hailed by many as a “rite of spring,” boasts high levels of many vitamins and antioxidants. Historically, it has also been used as an aphrodisiac, which may be attributed to its phalliclike appearance. Here in Colorado, the perennial asparagus plant grows freely and wildly and can also be found at farmers’ markets around the state. In some regards, asparagus is similar to tomatoes in that it does not travel well and should be purchased seasonally and locally. Asparagus begins to lose firmness, flavor and nutrients as soon as it is harvested. From a nutritional standpoint, several studies suggest that eating asparagus may contribute to good health. “Asparagus is loaded with fiber, foliates and antioxidants,” says Stephanie McCubbin, a registered dietician and a healthy eating specialist for Whole Foods. “It’s one of the top vegetables for antioxidants, which is really exciting because it’s also delicious.” Asparagus contains anti-aging properties and is a natural diuretic, which rids the body of excess salt, explains McCubbin. It also may help protect the body against cancer. To add to that list, asparagus is also nutrient-dense, loaded with antiinflammatory properties and contains asparanin A, which helps protect the liver and may protect against liver cancer, says Lisa Turner, a holistic nutritionist, food writer and founder of
inspiredeating.com. Turner also says asparagus helps the body make glutathione, which some consider the master antioxidant. Finally, asparagus is alkalizing and helps combat the levels of acids that many Americans have in their bodies due to diets high in meat, sugar and refined grains — as well as stress. “Like many people and as a foodie, I love asparagus,” says Carol O’Meara, horticulture entomologist for Colorado State University Extension Boulder County. “There are great varieties, it’s so good for the American diet and I just love them on the grill.” It’s great when something that does the body so well tastes so dang good. Yet many asparagus eaters limit their preparation of the vegetable to grilling or steaming. While both are options, there is an enormous range of how to use it, says Turner, who grew up eating canned asparagus and has subsequently spent years creating innovative and delicious ways to prepare fresh asparagus. It can be cut raw in thin slices and tossed into salads. A vegetable peeler can be used to shave long strips from the stalks and then tossed with a salty cheese, such as parmesan, cherry tomatoes, pine nuts and a light dressing made from olive oil, basil and fresh lemon juice to fashion a salad that Turner describes as simple and beautiful. It can be cut into little pieces and added to scrambled eggs to create an easy, fast and healthy breakfast. Finally, Turner suggests roasting asparagus, which really brings out the flavor.

warns against over-roasting, as heat diminishes important nutrients, and suggests tossing asparagus with olive oil and roasting it at 400 degrees for seven to 10 minutes. She then suggests sprinkling the asparagus with black salt, which is not only delicious, but creates a visually appealing dish.
Growing your own
Now that you have a few tips on how to prepare a spring favorite, your green thumb may be aching to add asparagus to your garden. O’Meara shares her how-to on preparing, planting, caring for and harvesting asparagus. The first and most important thing to consider when planting asparagus is that it is a perennial plant, so its location needs forethought and consideration, explains O’Meara. Pick a place that receives full sun, is out of the way and can provide a permanent home. An asparagus patch can be created either in the early spring or early fall. If beginning in the spring, it may be a little “pokey” to start and you’ll likely want to wait an extra year before harvesting. Fall may be a better time to begin, but O’Meara advises gardeners to start at least six weeks before the ground freezes. When you purchase asparagus crowns, expect them to look dehydrated. To rehydrate, soak the crowns in room temperature water for a few hours. Once rehydrated, trim off any roots that appear broken or dead. Amend the soil with a couple of inches of plant-based compost and mix thoroughly. Plan for about three inches of compost for every 12 inches of soil. Dig a trench four to five inches deep and be mindful that the roots will need space to flare out. Space asparagus crowns about 18 inches apart and cover with only two inches of soil. Continue to add topsoil throughout the growing season, but do not add too much or cover completely, as the asparagus plant is easily smothered. Plan to apply a nitrogen-based fertilizer when growth starts in the spring and again right after the harvest. Do not over-water, and protect the plant from pests, such as the asparagus beetle. Sticking a finger in the soil to see if water is needed can prevent overwatering. The soil should be consistentBoulder Weekly
ly moist but not water-soaked. The asparagus beetle is scarlet red, easy to spot and large enough to hand-pick from the plant. You can crush it to prevent further infestation, although the beetle does not usually create a major problem in this area. Note that asparagus does not compete well with weeds. Hand-pull or consider mulching the area, which will help control weeds. Be prepared to wait a few years before harvesting. Asparagus needs about three spring seasons to establish itself. When you do harvest, do not pull the spears from the ground — either use a knife or break the spear. Never harvest all the spears, as the plant needs to maintain some to photosynthesize, and never harvest spears that are less than pencil-size in diameter. Harvest season is over when the spears begin to decrease in size. Following the harvest season, the plant will produce an airy top growth with beautiful leaves. Do not cut this back as, again, it’s needed for the plant to feed itself through photosynthesis.

The featured beers are the Loose Leaf American Session Ale; the Tree Shaker Imperial Peach IPA, made with Colorado peaches; the Amuste Imperial Porter, which includes Tempranillo grape juice; the brewery’s “retired” barrel-aged Deconstruction American Wild Ale and the Nitro Lugene Chocolate Milk Stout. The keg of Lugene is one of the last kegs available in Colorado until next fall.
around Boulder County Lucky Pie Chef Joe Troupe’s culinary itinerary will pair with the evening’s beers: Wisdom Farm’s Chicken Ballotine with Hazel Dell mushrooms, an organic beet salad with a local chevre and potato croquette, prawns, grilled Triple M Bar lamb with Cassoulet and pickled lamb’s heart, and, for dessert, chocolate truffles and gorgonzola dulce. The dinner is $75 per person. Reservations can be made by calling Lucky Pie LoDo at 303-825-1021, or emailing lodo@luckypiepizza.com.

A few weeks ago, the principal at a school in Bellingham, Wash., announced that classes would be canceled the next day. What was his rationale? A big storm, a bomb threat, or an outbreak of sickness? None of the above. He decided to give students and teachers the day off so they could enjoy the beautiful weather that had arrived. I encourage you to make a similar move in the coming days, Taurus. Take an extended Joy Break — maybe several of them. Grant yourself permission to sneak away and indulge in spontaneous celebrations. Be creative as you capitalize profoundly on the gifts that life is offering you.
When explorer Ernest Shackleton was planning his expedition to Antarctica in 1914, he placed this ad in London newspapers: “Wanted: For hazardous journey. Small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, return doubtful. Honor and recognition in case of success.” Would you respond to a come-on like that if you saw it today? I hope not. It’s true that your sense of adventure is ratcheting up. And I suspect you’re itching for intense engagement with the good kind of darkness that in the past has inspired so much smoldering wisdom. But I believe you can satisfy those yearnings without putting yourself at risk or suffering severe deprivation.

In Japan it’s not rude to slurp while you eat your ramen noodles out of a bowl. That’s what the Lonely Planet travel guide told me. In fact, some Japanese hosts expect you to make sounds with your mouth; they take it as a sign that you’re enjoying your meal. In that spirit, Gemini, and in accordance with the astrological omens, I encourage you to be as uninhibited as you dare this week — not just when you’re slurping your noodles, but in every situation where you’ve got to express yourself uninhibitedly in order to experience the full potential of the pleasurable opportunities. As one noodle-slurper testified: “How can you possibly get the full flavor if you don’t slurp?”
“I’d rather not sing than sing quiet,” said the vivacious chanteuse Janis Joplin. Her attitude reminds me a little of Salvador Dali’s. He said, “It is never difficult to paint. It is either easy or impossible.” I suspect you Sagittarians may soon be in either-or states like those. You will want to give everything you’ve got, or else nothing at all. You will either be in the zone, flowing along in a smooth and natural groove, or else totally stuck. Luckily, I suspect that giving it all and being in the zone will predominate.

Here’s a thought from philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein: “A person will be imprisoned in a room with a door that’s unlocked and opens inwards as long as it does not occur to him to pull rather than push that door.” I’d like to suggest that his description fits you right now, Cancerian. What are you going to do about it? Tell me I’m wrong? Reflexively agree with me? I’ve got a better idea. Without either accepting or rejecting my proposal, simply adopt a neutral, open-minded attitude and experiment with the possibility. See what happens if you try to pull the door open.

If you have been waiting for the right moment to perfect your party skills, I suspect this might be it. Is there anything you can do to lower your inhibitions? Would you at least temporarily consider slipping into a chronic state of fun? Are you prepared to commit yourself to extra amounts of exuberant dancing, ebullient storytelling and unpredictable playtime? According to my reading of the astrological omens, the cosmos is nudging you in the direction of rabble-rousing revelry.

They are on the verge of serving you even better than they usually do, and you should take steps to ensure that happens. I also advise you to be on the lookout for a new power spot. It’s available.

In 1948, Nelson Mandela began his fight to end the system of apartheid in his native South Africa. Eventually he was arrested for dissident activities and sentenced to life imprisonment. He remained in jail until 1990, when his government bowed to international pressure and freed him. By 1994, apartheid collapsed. Mandela was elected president of his country and won the Nobel Peace Prize. Fastforward to 2008. Mandela was still considered a terrorist by the United States, and had to get special permission to enter the country. Yikes! You probably don’t have an antiquated rule or obsolescent habit that’s as horrendous as that, Capricorn. But it’s past time for you to dissolve your attachment to any outdated attachments, even if they’re only mildly repressive and harmful.

To question that which seems to have ceased forever to astonish us.” A meditation like this could nourish and even thrill you, Pisces. I suggest you boost your ability to be sincerely amazed by the small wonders and obvious marvels that you sometimes take for granted.

Dear Dan: I think someone asked you a question about me and my amazing Boyfriend. I set up and re-rack the weights when we work out. The person who wrote saw me kneel and tie my Boyfriend’s shoe and was wondering what was up. You told the guy to ask my Boyfriend. He hasn’t asked, so my Boyfriend told me to write. You said we were doing some “not-nearly-subtleenough, semipublic Dom/sub” scene, but that’s not accurate. My Boyfriend is dominant and i’m submissive. That much you got right. But we keep things very subtle in public. Observe us closely, and you’ll see signs of my submission. But since we’re not doing anything hardcore in public — no verbal abuse, no hitting, nothing that might be triggering for someone who has been in an abusive relationship (our relationship is not abusive, but we understand that much of what we do looks like abuse to others) — we don’t see why we should have to keep it completely hidden. So, yeah, I tie His shoes. Not because He can’t, but because He likes to make me. And He’s amazing and amazingly hot (pic enclosed), and I’d do anything He asks. —Savage Love Appearance Verifies Everything Dear SLAVE: Thanks for sharing, SLAVE.

SAVAGE by Dan Savage with an AMAZING guy for eight years. We have great chemistry and are best friends. My man has this fantasy about seeing me fuck his friends. It comes up EVERY SINGLE TIME we have sex. He begs me to call out their names during sex. I love to please him and I find it super-hot. But is this something that he really wants to explore? We never talk about it outside the bedroom. It also makes me feel awkward when we hang out with his friends, because I can’t help thinking about how many times I’ve come while shouting their names. How can I open up this topic without giving him the idea that I actually would let one of his friends bone me? If this was something that he REALLY wanted to do, I’d be willing, but how do I ask him if he thinks about actually doing it? —Please Help Me Dear PHM: Some people will dirtytalk about shit they wanna experience IRL*, ATKS**, and some people will dirty-talk about shit they never wanna experience IRL. But the only person who knows if your boyfriend wants to do this shit IRL is your boyfriend — and he’s not telling, and you’re so worried that he’ll

think you actually wanna fuck his friends that you’re not asking. And you don’t wanna fuck his friends … but you would fuck his friends … but only if he wanted you to fuck his friends. It’s possible that your boyfriend wants to realize these fantasies IRL, PHM, but is so paralyzed by shame that he can’t bring himself to talk about his fantasies when his dick isn’t hard. His own shame may also have led him to misread the fact that you’ve never raised the subject outside the bedroom. He may be thinking, “We talk about it every single time we have sex! But she never brings it up when we’re not having sex, so she must not be into it.” But it’s just as possible that your boyfriend doesn’t want to realize these fantasies. You’ve spent eight years demonstrating to him that you’re down with his kinks — hell, his kinks are your kinks at this point. So it stands to reason that your boyfriend would’ve asked you to fuck his friends by now if he wanted you to fuck his friends. So what do you do? Grab a drink with your boyfriend and ask him to talk
with you about his kinks. Don’t say, “Hey, do you really want me to fuck your friends? Because I would — I totally would — if that’s what you wanted!” Instead, tell him you want to talk about his fantasies in a general, open-ended way because, hey, healthy couples can talk about their sexual fantasies. Start by telling him what turns you on about these fantasies, PHM, and then ask him what turns him on about them. Hopefully, he’ll open up and you’ll get some clarity about the IRL issue. But if he can’t bring himself to talk about his fantasies when you aren’t fucking, that means you’re never gonna fuck his friends IRL. Not because he doesn’t want you to — he may — but because realizing these sorts of fantasies requires open, honest, and exhaustive communication. And if he can’t do that (communicate with you), PHM, you can’t do them (his friends). * In real life. ** As the kids say.

EEDBETWEENTHELINES

Is this really the best the White House drug czar can come up with?
T
he latest issue of the journal Molecular Psychiatry provides physiological evidence as to why cannabis might mitigate certain symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. In another study published this month in The American Journal of Medicine, researchers found that current marijuana users had 16 percent lower fasting insulin levels than nonusers, 17 percent lower insulin-resistance levels, smaller average waist sizes and higher levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, or “good cholesterol.” And the same week, Gil Kerlikowske, the White House director of national drug-control policy, gave a speech at the Urban Institute based around the 2012 Annual Report on the Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring Program II, a study by his office that showed a “troubling” link between marijuana use and crime. Basically, the White House “study” found that one-fourth of criminals in the study had marijuana in their systems. Kerlikowske infers that the marijuana had a causal effect on the crimes. He made clear in the speech that if it’s up to him, federal policies against marijuana will continue, with legalization not an option. This is so absurd. Marijuana is the most-used illegal drug in the United States. A large majority of Americans have admitted to using it at least once, and 17 million American admit to smoking it regularly, so why is it surprising (or of any value to the argument) that it’s found in the blood systems of some criminals? I don’t have space here to get into any more specifics, but the study, which also asked about alcohol use, leaves out any mention of it in the report and doesn’t differentiate whether the study’s suspects were stopped for a traffic violation or a major crime, which is kind
52
of important. So here we have reputable scientists doing cannabis research and finding more and more suggestions of its healing properties. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is one of the most serious problems facing veterans returning from combat in Afghanistan or Iraq, and powerful mood-altering drugs like Lorazepam are commonly prescribed, often to the detriment of the patient. Doctors are finding that marijuana can relieve some of the debilitating aspects without the dangerous, sometimes deadly side effects of the prescription drugs now being used. And the White House drug czar doesn’t really care? Kerlikowske has no intellectual curiosity about the legitimate studies being done on medical marijuana for pain relief, glaucoma, spasticity in multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, breast cancer, HIV, brain cancer, opioid dependence or ALS? He isn’t interested in why almost half the states in the union already have medical marijuana laws and are doing research, with more joining the ranks each year? Instead, he goes to the scare tactic, using the 1930s image of a connection between marijuana and crime. Did he watch Reefer Madness one too many times? Has becoming drug czar, which, incidentally, means “absolute ruler with great power,” eliminated any common sense he might have once possessed? Actually, Kerlikowske’s ignorance and complete lack of curiosity shouldn’t be that surprising. Let’s not forget Richard Nixon buried a marijuana study he commissioned himself because it didn’t reach the conclusion he wanted, which is the reason pot is a Schedule I drug, a designation Kerlikowske seems intent upon keeping. Or how about the case of the government and Dr.
Donald Tashkin, a published pulmonologist who conducted research for the National Institute on Drug Abuse on the effects of illegal drugs on the body? If you don’t know his name, you might remember his 1990 study, which found that marijuana smoke contained more carcinogens than tobacco, which led to the government’s warning that one joint does as much damage as four cigarettes. (And quite an admission by the government in itself about cigarettes, a legal product.) After that study, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, having learned that carcinogens in smoke are what causes lung cancer, gave Tashkin a big grant to prove the same for marijuana and slam the door on marijuana forever. Tashkin studied 2,252 subjects (611 with lung cancer and 601 with other cancers of the head and neck, along with 1,040 people without cancer) and found no links of any kind between marijuana smoking and lung cancer. The government, of course, was aghast at this notion. But Tashkin’s research suggested even more: Marijuana smoke might actually inhibit cancer cells rather than create them. Many more studies, including one presented this month at the annual meeting of the American Association of Cancer Research by scientists at the University of California-Los Angeles, indicate that regular consumption of marijuana is not associated with an elevated risk of lung cancer and, further, suggest that cannabinoids can halt the spread of brain cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, skin cancer, pancreatic cancer and lymphoma. Is this proof that marijuana inhibits cancer cells or helps those suffering with PTSD? No. Is it worth studying more? Could anybody really say no? Well, yes. The White House drug czar doesn’t sound interested in any of that. He’s still fighting the War on Drugs in a way that would make Dick Nixon proud.
