Highroad Big beer, big bully

by Jim Hightower

f “bigger is better,” as the old saw claims, does that mean that biggest is best? Not in CorporateWorld. Chanting the bigger-is-better mantra, corporations have constantly been merging to become global Goliaths. As we consumers have learned from banks, airlines, etc., far from getting better, the giants just became bullies. So let’s pay attention to another creature wanting us to swallow an extra-sour serving of conglomera-

tion-is-good-for-you hokem. You used to know what you were getting when you said to the bartender: “Make mine a Bud.” But Budwieser has mutated into a multinational corporate concoction that’s headquartered in Belgium, largely owned by South Americans and now renamed Anheuser Bushch-InBev Inc. It’s already the world’s largest brewer, but InBev is presently demanding that our government officials ignore their duty to the public and let it take over SABMiller — the world’s second largest brewer. Beer quaffers of the world, unite! If approved, this bitter deal would confront you with a monopolistic monster of a cartel with dozens of beer brands, including top-sellers like Bud, Michelob, Corona, Stella Artois, Modelo, Miller Lite, Blue Moon, Foster’s and Mickey’s. The InBev combine would control some two-thirds of all U.S. beer sales, as well as nearly a

Pulling in an estimated $64 billion in revenues each year, this Behemoth of Brews would be able to crush all other competitors with predatory pricing schemes — or simply buy them out.

because she was carrying a “Repeal the Second Amendment” sign. She was told not to carry her sign because it was not the message that MOMS wants to convey. A review of the MOMS website reveals that they are “fighting for public safety measures that respect the Second Amendment.” That statement is both paradoxical and obtuse and, evidently, MOMS respect the Second Amendment more than the First Amendment.

MOMS have attempted to censor speech and intimidate witnesses who wished to testify before the legislature against various bills attempting to expand gun rights. The reasoning behind MOMS attempts at censorship is because they say that they want to keep the dialogue “classy” and civil in order to not alienate the gun lobby. The time for “classy” and civil discourse with the gun lobby is over because too many

Americans are dying every day because of easy access to guns. MOMS fails to understand that the gun lobby does not respect them and sees their non-confrontational stance as a sign of weakness. Perhaps, MOMS should worry about alienating potential members and trampling upon people’s rights under the First Amendment instead of worrying about alienating the gun lobby. Andrew J.

poll conducted by the American Lung Association (ALA) reveals that people want oil and gas companies to better control the leakage of methane into the environment.

More than half of those say they do so “strongly.” “I think that in Colorado people have a real love for the environment. We’re a very healthy state so this just makes sense to people here,” Mullally says. Methane accounts for 20 percent of Colorado’s

Poll: Americans want environmental methane reduced

Public opinion coincides with recent restrictions by Katie Porter cise our authority under the Clean Air Act to advocate for things like pollution reduction,” says Dawn Mullally, director of Air Quality and Transportation at the ALA. “Any regulations that will improve health matters to us and we pay attention to and track those things.” Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas that can cause respiratory harm when inhaled. The ALA says emission pollution is especially detrimental to children, the elderly and those with conditions like asthma, emphysema or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The health risks are heightened closer to facilities that produce the gas. The new EPA rules require operators to use optical gas imaging cameras for leak detection and to fix any leaks within 30 days. Emissions from compressors must be reduced by 95 percent, and the rods in the compressors must be replaced every three years. The EPA calculates that with these standards in place, more than half a million tons of methane particles can be eliminated from the atmosphere by 2025. After the new regulations were issued, the ALA surveyed more than 1,000 people across the country, asking questions like “Do you favor or oppose these Boulder Weekly

greenhouse gasses, according to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, and has been rising since the ’90s. Urbanization and industrialization indirectly increases methane levels in the atmosphere — 60 percent are human-activity induced. Gas and petroleum production, storage and circulation are the biggest contributors, at 28 percent, releasing about 32 million tons into the atmosphere per year. Other factors include agricultural waste, abandoned mines and landfills. Colorado is sixth in the nation for natural gas production, which has doubled in the last decade. The recent EPA rules apply specifically to new and modified establishments. Existing operations are required to report data about technologies and practices used to decrease methane, in an effort to form regulations for them as well. These are expected in the next few years, as many studies are being conducted on the best way to reduce emissions. The Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) is at the forefront of such research. The organization is partnered with Colorado State University staff in a series of 16 scientific studies measuring methane emissions, data that has been used in drafting various climate legislations.

“When this all began five or 10 years ago there was little information about this gas’ prevalence so we launched an effort to work with academic institutions to find out more,” Jon Goldstein, senior policy manager for EDF Rocky Mountain region, says. The analyses of more than 100 plants all over the country reveals that the amount of methane that escapes is equal to the amount used by more than 3 million households. Thirty percent of emissions come from when the equipment is not even in use. The studies also found one in six facilities use methods that produce three times the rate of emissions than normal. The cost of reducing methane leaks accounts for a large portion of the opposition towards methane regulation. Earlier this month, the natural gas organization Our Nation’s Energy Future released a report estimating 63 percent of profits they make per thousand cubic feet would go toward cutting methane leaks. They calculate it would cost almost $300 million each year to eliminate emission particles equaling 2.2 billion tons. Regardless, the general consensus is that existing guidelines are not enough since global temperatures keep rising, an issue the new regulations seek to address. There are additional standards under the White House Climate Action Plan, which claims future changes to gas production could yield climate benefits of $690 million. This number is configured by the EPA to put a monetary value on avoided environmental consequences, such as reduced hospital visits. Another advantage is job stimulation. Adopting reduction strategies means a need for inspectors, maintenance workers and more researchers. “There is a market-based solution we try to focus on,” Goldstein says. “It’s really a win-win. You’re creating productivity from both the business and environmental perspectives.” It was also recently announced that CSU received $3.5 million to partner with the Colorado School of Mines to develop and run a methane emission research facility to determine the most resourceful technologies to sense and evaluate methane leaks from oil and gas facilities.

This is the controversial section of the newly updated 55th Street railroad crossing, where the old track and new track come together. Some spikes appear to be no longer in place and others appear to be missing their heads. Several citizens have expressed their concerns over the safety of the newly repaired section of track.

Hazardous IN consequences

April, the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (BNSF) completed an update of the 55th Street crossing in Boulder, but it appears the update could have unintended safety repercussions. Following years of complaints by drivers, the railroad worked with the City of Boulder to come up with a cost-sharing model to update the crossing on 55th Street in east Boulder between Arapahoe Avenue and Central Street. The City of Boulder and BNSF split the approximate $70,000 cost and during construction the railway replaced 100 feet of tracks, rebuilt the ties and decking, and the City updated the surrounding sidewalks and repaved the road. The update is a much needed improvement according to mechanical engineer Brian Nuel, who lives and works in the area and drives across the tracks multiple times a day. However, a couple of weeks ago, while sitting a few cars back in stopped traffic, he noticed a train swaying significantly as it went by. “I was just watching the train go by and noticed the cars lurching toward me, north if you will,” he says. “It seemed pretty severe, severe enough to catch my eye and I was trying to figure out why and I then saw the track flexing underneath the wheels.” Concerned enough to come back the following day, Nuel inspected the tracks to the

But Slatter also shared the photos with “a couple of trusted resources,” he says. “They’ve commented to me that it would seem that this is the kind of condition that the railroad would want to consider performing some maintenance on.” Slatter reported the issue to BNSF who had two different crews inspect the rail in question and ran an inspection car over it, says Joe Sloan, the regional director of public affairs. “They may have seen the same thing the resident (Nuel) saw, but they had no concerns,” Sloan says. When pushed on the issue, he says on joint tracks, such as the one in Boulder, often times work crews will wait and see how a new joint functions before performing any maintenance. The company inspects the railway in Boulder every other day at minimum. “Often after a project like that they’ll tend to see how the crossing does and if there is any maintenance or work that needs to be done after a project, they’ll just follow up,” Sloan says. “They will probably do some field welding at some point, but again they don’t have any concerns about it. That’s kind of how it’s done all across the system.” In terms of the deteriorated tie, Sloan says the inspection crews aren’t worried either. “It depends on how many sequences there are. If there is one bad tie in a long sequence then they won’t get in there and just replace that one,” Sloan says. “It could’ve just been that the one had bigger corrosion issues.” Weaver says concrete ties could be a good option in highly populated areas with the possibility of impacting a lot of people. But in reality he has more questions than answers. “I don’t care what the material is, it needs to be in good shape so the rails are in good shape,” he says. “What do we know about alternatives to what’s there now and would those alternatives provide a safety improvement when we’re in a high population zone?” Sloan says the railroad does use concrete ties in some areas, but the majority of tracks still have wooden ties. “It really just varies on the traffic and the best material to use,” Sloan says. “There are options. You don’t want to mix the type of ties. When you see concrete you’ll see very long stretches of them, you won’t just see small sections of them.”

This helps explain why the tracks throughout Boulder are still made of older wooden ties; the cost of replacing the entire section of the system with concrete would undoubtedly be high. It seems unlikely, based on the Weekly’s previous reporting, that BSNF would be compelled to update the tracks through Boulder, given that it is an overflow line and the company appears to have little desire to spend its resources on tracks running through Boulder. Such improvements would require, among other things, purchasing property to get rid of curves and grades that make transporting heavy oil trains less safe. The swaying of the railway cars, like Nuel observed, is also normal according to Sloan. In what’s known in the industry as “hunting oscillation,” train wheels are designed to essentially “hunt” for equilibrium as they go around curves or the tracks change in elevation, in order to stabilize the cars. Sloan says the elevation change can be as minimal as a joint in the track that isn’t perfectly even, such as the one near the 55th Street crossing. Based on Sloan’s responses, it doesn’t appear that the railway is going to be doing any repair work on the section of rail in question. And the City of Boulder has no authority to either inspect or perform maintenance work on the property of another entity. “Even if there is a concern and [BNSF is] not acknowledging that they want to do anything about it, we have no authority to be able to go and take care of it for them,” Slatter says. He is set to meet with BNSF at the site this week to further express the City’s concerns. In regards to Weaver’s questions about possibly rerouting trains carrying hazardous materials, Sloan says that railroads really have no choice in the matter. As common carriers, BNSF and other railroads are federally required to transport anything and everything asked of them that is properly packaged. “Whether that’s chlorine for a water treatment plant or crude oil or ethanol, or even military or nuclear, really anything basically that can be packaged and that’s the federal requirement,” he says. “So we’re required to move it and then how we move it is based on where the customer is and where the track classifi-

cation is.” Despite recent catastrophes involving oil train derailments, several of which have been BNSF trains, Sloan says the railroad has a 99.98 percent success rate when delivering hazardous materials. “That’s safer than any other form of transportation,” he says. Regardless, Weaver is still interested in lobbying BNSF to reroute trains transporting hazardous waste away from Boulder, although he recognizes such efforts may be futile. “Even if Council voted, ‘Hey, this would be a great idea if they could reschedule,’ it doesn’t even mean that it would be actionable,” Weaver says. “We’re dealing with a much bigger entity than us, we’d have to put this out and maybe talk with our neighboring cities to see if we could build a coalition.” For now, the largest concern for the councilman is decreasing the chance of derailment near the 55th Street crossing, as he watches the video of trains moving over the new joint and deteriorated tie. “The question anytime you get this kind of bending regularly is what kind of fatigue is going on with the metal,” Weaver says. “So if it’s well supported you’ll have a lot less deflection so you’ll get a lot less fatigue.” These safety questions about the work done at the crossing update come at a time when the City is also waiting to hear from BNSF regarding the next possible crossing upgrade near the intersection of Valmont Road and Butte Mill Road, which is near the Stazio softball fields. “The railroad is exploring whether it makes sense for the crossing to be moved entirely or whether they will be conducting an upgrade there,” Slatter says. That particular section of line is a spur, or side track that ends 150 feet from the crossing, Slatter says. It could make sense to remove that section of rail altogether and simply repave the street over it. “If they don’t need it they would prefer to remove the crossing because it creates a maintenance and safety concern for their operation as well,” Slatter says. Or the railroad could elect to upgrade the crossing, which would require the same cost-sharing process as the 55th Street crossing. The City is expecting a decision from BNSF by sometime in July, if not before.

nvironmental concerns have been ingrained in multimedia artist Sybille Palmer since she was 10 years old. Palmer spent her teenage years in Leverkusen, Germany, a town then dominated by pollution from a nearby chem-

ical plant. “Certainly I could smell it,” she says. “The Rhine was very polluted — you couldn’t go swimming in it. Nobody could even set foot in it. And everything was dying.” Those issues would stay with Palmer throughout her life, manifesting itself in her artwork, which is now on display in The Dairy Arts Center’s SEED: Disperse

exhibit’s larger works. It evokes the environment on a macro-scale in its presentation and in the subject matter of its pieces. The other side focuses instead on the small-scale world of seeds; with pieces fitting together tightly. This natural effect is heightened by a physically smaller space and the use of ambient nature sounds coming from this side of the exhibit. Where the first side depicts the grave issues facing seeds and plant life, the second depicts the beauty, wonder and potential of those seeds. “I want to give a feeling of being immersed in the world of seeds, or planted as if you were a seed yourself,” Lee says. “It’s a super dense, salon-style installation in the area that should make you feel planted, versus the more fragmented, open repetition in the other half of the gallery.” On the first side, Evan Anderman’s aerial photographs depict agriculture and the human relationship to the environment on a large scale. Taken in Eastern Colorado, the photos appear abstract or microscopic, reminding us of the linkage of small and large-scale environmental issues. Macroscopic trends affect individual seeds, and individual seeds can have far-reaching effects. In the second section, Annette Coleman’s mosaics add vibrant colors to the otherwise earthy section, depicting a large seed, an avocado and an almond. The pieces aren’t just complex, captivating and fragile for their own sake — these traits also describe the depicted objects themselves. That the colorful tiles were recycled from found objects in the Boulder area sends a message that many small acts together can have profound effects. Also in SEED is Palmer’s piece “Alphabet of Life Scroll,” nicknamed the “Extinction Scroll.” The 34-foot-long scroll contains the names of 9,000 plant

exhibition through July 4. The exhibition explores seed-related environmental issues such as diminishing biodiversity, agricultural pollution, suburbanization and climate change while aiming to foster an appreciation for the complexity and beauty of plants. SEED, now in its fourth incarnation, began in Taos, New Mexico, in 2009. Making its first venture outside its birthplace, The Diary exhibition features more than 20 artists, a combination of both locals and long-time collaborators. “Each time I approach a different geography, whether it’s seeds or whatever topic I’m creating work about, it has to evolve in the same way that seeds change when they grow in a new geography,” says the exhibition’s guest curator, Lee Lee. “They adapt in response to the local conditions, and why wouldn’t an exhibition adapt to local conditions in the same way?” The seed theme is open for artistic interpretation. As a whole, the exhibition encompasses ideas including potential, travel and movement, “cross-pollination” between art and science, and the interconnectedness of big and small. The exhibit is divided into two sections. The first side is spacious and repetitive, containing many of the

species that are endangered worldwide. The piece looms high over the viewer, suspended from the ceiling. The scroll’s dense text is interspersed with large photographs of some of the plants, which grounds the mindnumbingly extensive list of names in reality. The photos are partially faded, reflecting the at-risk status of the plants — they’re facing extinction, but not yet gone for good. “Endangered means there’s still time, but extinct is forever,” Palmer’s artist statement reads. This theme — potential — pervades the exhibition. It’s what makes an otherwise discouraging topic inspirational. But Lee is clear about the magnitude of the issue. “Without seeds we’re not going to survive. On the nourishment level and on the wildlands level, they are essential to life on this planet.”

Researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem looked into the effect temperature has on floral smells, a method flowers use to attract pollinators. Their report, published in Plant, Cell & Environment, found there is a “negative effect of heat on floral scent production,” and it interferes with the pollination process. When plants are ready to Joshua Tree National Park reproduce they release distinct smells made up of phenylpropanoid compounds to attract insects like bees, beetles and butterflies. But high temperatures evaporate the scent in the atmosphere so the insects can’t find the nectar or pollinate the plants. Like fingerprints, no two aromas are the same. Morning glories attract flies and ladybugs. Hibiscuses attract butterflies, petunias attract hummingbirds. Pollination accounts for more than 90 percent of plant sexual reproduction and 35 percent of crop production worldwide. Less of this natural fertilization means less seeds, which means less crops, which affects all the organisms down the food chain that rely on them. Also noted in the study is that changes in sunlight are speeding up flowering times, meaning the pollinates and pollinators are getting out of sync. This has similar consequences of declining fertilization, because by the time insects are ready, it’s too late for the plant’s pollen.

POLLUTION CAUSES CARDIOVASCULAR PROBLEMS, STUDY FINDS A 10-year study conducted by the University of Washington, and funded by the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, has found that long-term exposure to air pollution leads to a higher risk of heart disease, among other health concerns. Scientists measured nitrogen and carbon levels from 1,500 areas in six states, and then compared the data with results of local residents’ CT scans taken over a period of 12 years. Researchers found that people who live in areas with higher air Wikimedia Commons pollution had calcium buildup and hardened arteries, something that can lead to heart attack or stroke. People from big metropolitan areas with lots of traffic, and therefore smog, showed up to a 20 percent faster rate of weakened hearts. The study does not explain the biological process that results in the calcium buildup after years of breathing in pollutants. Each year, the American Lung Association puts out a State of the Air report and ranks atmospheric quality in cities across the nation. In 2015, their list of the 25 most particle-polluted cities included seven California cities at the top and many areas in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Fort Collins and Colorado Springs made the “cleanest cities” list. Air pollution has also been linked to asthma and arrhythmias and can exasperate issues from preexisting conditions like lung cancer and emphysema, according to a statement from the American Heart Association. The main source of air pollutions is particulate matter including vehicle emissions, road dust, agriculture debris and fires. — Katie Porter

ADVENTURE Paul deBerjeois

Balloonists flock to Colorado to lift off from some of the highest altitude launch sites in the country, allowing them to soar to heights seldom so easily attained elsewhere.

PUSHING THE SKY’S LIMITS Hot air ballooning’s lift off from the Rocky Mountain State

by Emma Murray Paul deBerjeois

he “Stratosaurus” hot air balloon looked like an inverted and mismatched candy corn: an orange cone, white middle and red base. However, Stratosaurus’ orange, white and red nylon panels were sewn to form a teardrop shape that, once fully inflated, was big enough to fit more than 549 million candy corns, or at least 20 school buses. Stratosaurus belonged to Chauncey Dunn, a Denver-based real estate agent with a hot air ballooning obsession. In 1969, he’d bought his first balloon, and due to recreational ballooning’s rarity at the time, he’d taught himself with minimal instruction how to pilot and operate it. In 1971, Dunn brought Stratosaurus outside Longmont, attached a wicker basket and filled the balloon with hot air. They rose over the Front Range, climbing alongside the mountains, scanning the sprawling miles of the great plains. On that flight, he maneuvered Stratosaurus upwards more than 33,400 feet, breaking all previous hot air balloon altitude records and approaching the cruising altitude of most commercial airplanes. Dunn and Stratosaurus far surpassed the expectations of French brothers Joseph and Jacques Montgolfier, whose pioneer hot air balloon prototype sent a duck, rooster and sheep aloft in 1783. The Montgolfier brothers’ first balloon was constructed from a mix of paper and fabric and fueled by hot air generated from a straw fire. Today, in response to many fire accidents and rough starts, balloons are typically sewn with nylon and fueled by gas. Within a year of his record-setting flight, Dunn fueled his ballooning obsession by founding his own commercial ballooning company, and over the next five years he also helped found the Colorado Balloon Club and the Rocky Mountain Gas Balloon Society. As he pushed ballooning’s vertical limits, he also pressed horizontal public outreach across the state. Dunn passed away in 2012, but in 2014 he was inducted into the ballooning hall of fame by The National Balloon Museum, which said, “More than any other person, Chauncey was responsible for bringing the sport of ballooning to Colorado.” Now, nearly a half century after Dunn purchased his first balloon, with numerous hot air balloon companies based in Boulder and dozens scattered see HOT AIR BALLOONING Page 24

buzz For SHEL’s new album, Just Crazy Enough, the Fort Collins-based band of sisters combine their folk sound with a synth-tinged digital feel.

THE THOUGHTFUL SISTERS

EVA

Holbrook is sitting in the bedroom of her childhood home outside of Fort Collins when we touch base via phone. She’s there for a bit of rest in the midst of a coast-to-coast tour with her band SHEL. The indie folk group has been traveling the country in promotion of their newest album Just Crazy Enough. But SHEL isn’t just Holbrook’s band; the three other members — Sarah, Hannah and Liza — are also her sisters. Over the phone, Holbrook tells me she’s doing a “clothing capsule challenge” where she prunes her wardrobe back to just the essentials, creating one capsule of clothes for summer and another for performances. “There’s this amazing documentary called The True Cost, and it’s basically about the effects that our demands for cheap clothing have on [developing] countries,” she explains. Her bandmate sisters are also doing the challenge, and the group asked their fans to try it too, tagging SHEL on Instagram and Twitter with pictures of their own capsules. “You need very little to have a wonderful wardrobe,” Holbrook tells me. “And cutting back your wardrobe makes you more intentional and it brings attention to the fashion industry and how bloated and crazy it is.” Holbrook’s thoughtful nature shows itself again and again throughout our conversation, whether she’s talking about being homeschooled on a farm in an abandoned trailer park, how terrible she was at mandolin as a child or staying up until 2 in the morning reading about female circumcision. Holbrook seems to think about everything, and everything seems worthy of deeper inspection — or introspection.

Eva Holbrook says they are creating videos for all 10 tracks on Just Crazy Enough, with five videos already done. They are storyboarding and location hunting for the next five videos. “We have a lot of irons in the fire and we don’t know what’s going to happen with them but we’re optimistic that we’ll keep finding things to create and be excited about,” Holbrook says. “That’s what keeps us going. We’ve found a way to remain in love with the process.”

The same thoughtful nature is equally apparent in SHEL’s music, filled with classically inspired mandolin, violin and piano layered around rich, shimmering vocal harmonies. On Just Crazy Enough, the band’s catchy folk sound effortlessly takes on a synth-tinged digital feel under the masterful hand of Eurythmics co-founder and celebrated electronic music producer Dave Stewart (whose production credits include albums with Stevie Nicks, Joss Stone and Ringo Starr). The album had already been recorded in Nashville (with equally admired producer/engineer Brent Maher, who’s worked with SHEL for around seven years) when the band was introduced to Stewart. “He really wanted to work with us and explained his concept; he wanted to do a lot of synth programming and drum programming, and we’d never done anything like that before, so we were a bit skeptical,” Holbrook admits. In particular, Stewart liked a groovy earworm called “You Could Be My Baby.” So the band sent him the track with acoustic instruments and traditional drums. Along with engineer Mike Douglas, Stewart added programming underneath the track and sent the new version back to the band. “It just opened up all this potential for our sound that was really inspiring,” Holbrook says. “Everybody thought here are these traditional instruments, so it must be a folk band, but we grew up listening to Pink Floyd, The Beatles and Led Zeppelin, so we felt we were trying to write more in that vein and that vision came through for this album.” The band took on another unusual challenge on the new record by covering Metallica’s “Enter Sandman.” It was actually the Holbrook sisters’ father who suggested the girls cover the seminal metal hit. He’d heard the song on the radio while driving and called Eva to ask if she’d ever heard it. Charmingly enough, she hadn’t. “It was funny because I’m a big Peter Pan fan; that’s why Dad suggested it in the first place,” she says. “When I Googled the lyrics to figure out who it was, and listening to the song [for the first time], my heart was racing because I really loved the lyrics. It was an incredible experience to hear it for the first time.” Holbrook wanted to “pay homage to the brilliance of the song” in a way that was distinct from the original material — no electric guitars, just a sharp focus on the lyrics. “The first time we recorded it and I’m singing it, I’m thinking about being

Buist recalls meeting Larson at her house to practice for the event, where Larson picked up a guitar from the living room floor and began strumming purposefully. “I went and grabbed the ukulele and we started playing ‘We Are Going to be Friends’ by The White Stripes.

that.” Dause’s musical background was similarly relaxed — no Joe Jacksons, forced performances or finger wagging whatsoever. Their choice to forgo higher education in exchange for tours and recording was fully their own. “When I was 4, I was on a little league T-ball, team and I just played in the dirt the whole time,” Dause says. “My parents said, ‘OK, well he’s not doing sports.’ I still applaud my parents for allowing a 4-year-old to have a drum set in their house.” But solid support from their families doesn’t imply an effortless jump to success. It took long hours and estrangement from the common high school experience. “I don’t think that I’ve experienced anything as difficult in my whole life as junior year of high school,” Larson admits. Everyone laughs, but the word “sacrifice” starts to come up frequently after this. “We had a whole year where we were going from 8 to 5 to school every day,” Buist says. “Then we would go play a gig after school and then we would go home and do homework. On our spring breaks and prom nights and vacations we would drive across the country to get to a studio and record our albums.” “There are tons of small sacrifices every day,” Larson adds. “There are only so many hours in a day and when you’re working for yourself you don’t end after your 9 to 5. There’s always something more to do.” They don’t dance around the fact that there was a cost for what they all agree is also a gift. Resolute academics who pride themselves on 3.9 GPAs, which they maintained throughout those high school days, they all put college on hold in order to pursue music full-time. “That was probably the biggest sacrifice of our whole career so far,” Buist says. “All of the people around us, all of our friends, are all going to college. Nobody is doing what we’re doing right now and that can be really hard and really alienating.” But music is a choice that The Accidentals continue to make, taking the isolation and long hours in the studio over prom nights and college parties. And maybe that’s OK. Maybe a “normal” youth wouldn’t quite fit these three, who seem to have been born musicians. “I don’t think normal people are musicians,” Buist says. “I think we’re all really weird and messed up for sure.”

Now I gotta cut loose

‘Footloose’ stomps onto BDT Stage by Amanda Moutinho

t’s possible when Footloose was first created, it meant to serve as a metaphor about art prevailing in times of tyrannical control. It could be a symbolic battle cry for rebels to fight their oppressors and rally against Big Brother; the initial movie did come out in 1984, coincidentally or not. Or maybe, it could just be fun to romp to “lose your blues.” You know, to just cut footloose. Either way, the show takes the floor this summer at BDT Stage, through Sept. 3. The musical follows the new kid in the small town of Bomont, Ren McCormick, who immediately gets labeled the bad boy for no particular reason other than he’s new, which means different, which means bad. He soon learns that dancing has been outlawed, the legal aftermath of a tragic car accident that killed four drunk teenagers coming home from a dance. Ren decides to fight against the ban, subsequently pitting himself against its instigator Reverend Shaw Moore. It’s the classic story of youth versus adults — young people insisting they know best and adults reassuring them they do not. But in Footloose you root for the kids, who just wanna dance, man, and against Reverend Moore, who is reminiscent of political pinhead Donald Trump — misunderstanding the root of the problem and instead putting an unhelpful, harmfully misguided Band-Aid on the situation (read: building a wall). But in the end, Footloose is a celebration of the twinkly-eyed lens of adolescence, a perspective often needed in adulthood. In terms of movies turned musicals, Footloose falls on the better end of the spectrum. It leans heavily on its source material, for the better, but most importantly it forges its own path with a bevy of original songs mixed in with the classics, including “Let’s Hear it for the Boy” and the title song.

Boulder’s Global Greengrants Fund is hosting the local premiere of Not Without Us, a 90-minute film that poignantly chronicles the uphill battle facing seven environmental activists at last year’s COP21 Paris climate conference. This behind-the-scenes look into the bureaucratic struggle of forming an international treaty shows the selfless and fearless dedication some people have to protecting and preserving the environment. Join filmmaker Mark Decena, whose previous work includes the Colorado River documentary Watershed, for a post-screening Q&A. Tickets are $10, or $25 for VIP admission. — Katie Porter

Come watch a visuFrame from “Moving Yerevan” (2014) by Jevan Chowdhury & Nare ally stimulating marriage of Aghababyan cinema and choreography at the Sans Souci Festival of Dance Cinema. There will be 11 dance shorts from filmmakers all over the world that translate emotion and intimacy through movement and production. This locally conceived festival started in 2004 and experiments with blurring genres to make a multimedia performance. They now put on several screenings of dance films around the world. — Katie Porter

The hills are alive at the Denver Center of Performing Arts with The Sound of Music. The classic 1959 Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II musical takes the stage with a new touring cast. The show follows nun-turnednanny Maria as she swaps convent life for starting a family band with the Von Trapp Family. Almost 70 years later, the songs from The Sound of Music are still considered musical theater staples. So if you need to relearn your Do Re Mi’s or remember a few of your favorite things, stop by the DCPA.

by Arden Levine American Life in Poetry: Column 584: Faced by a loss, and perhaps by a loss of words, many of us find something to do with our hands. Here’s a poem about just that by Arden Levine, published in 2015 in an issue of Agni Magazine. Ms. Levine lives in New York. — Ted Kooser, U.S. Poet Laureate She tells him she’s leaving him and he bakes a pie. His pies are exquisite, their crusts like crinoline. He doesn’t change clothes, works in slacks, shirtsleeves rolled. Summer makes the kitchen unbearable but he suffers beautifully, tenderly cuts the strawberries, pours into the deep curve of the bowl. She hadn’t missed his hands since last they drew her to his body. Now she watches them stroke the edges of the dough, shape it like cooling glass. When the oven opens, his brow drips, he brings his hands to his face. We do not accept unsolicited submissions.

screen Where’s the story ‘Finding Dory?’  by Ryan Syrek

aby Dory is the cutest thing that has ever been recorded in the history of cinema. This is an inarguable fact. She’s 90 percent eyes. It’s a perfect formula for adorable; that’s just science. You can ask Mike Tyson! Sorry, I meant Neil deGrasse Tyson. And yes, that was an intentional metaphor for switching two things that share similarities but aren’t actually the same thing... Finding Dory follows Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), the comic relief from Finding Nemo cursed with a lack of memory, as she attempts to find her long-lost parents. In the same way, literally, that you physically ached for Marlin (Albert Brooks) reuniting with his abducted son, Nemo (Hayden Rolence), in the first movie, Dory’s plight in the sequel is palpably emotional. Cutting to flashbacks of the aforementioned giganto-eyed baby Dory absentmindedly losing track of her family is emotional manipulation more than worth the price of admission. Her journey takes her into an aquatic recovery center, where she This half-remake/half-sequel entity is only forgiven for its relentmeets Hank (Ed less adorableness. O’Neill), an octopus who is actually a septopus because he’s missing a tentacle, and reunites with Destiny (Kaitlin Olson), a near-sighted whale shark who used to be Dory’s friend when she was little. With the aid of layabout sea lions, half-witted birds and an almost infinite amount of Rube Goldberg-style escape sequences, Dory tries to find her way back to where she came from... which is basically the exact plot of Finding Nemo. Look, I get it: A sequel doesn’t (and largely shouldn’t) deviate hugely from the source material that birthed it. Finding Dory hits all the same themes as Finding Nemo just with prettier, more advanced, CGI animation. “Family is important,” “never give up” and “just keep swimming” are repeated ad infinitum. That isn’t a complaint so much as it is a statement of fact. Thus, Finding Dory is a responsibly worthy sequel. Mostly. The problems exist almost entirely in the last third of the film, with a series of unnecessarily increasing stakes. Having watched the memory-challenged Dory scrape her brains to find her origins, it seems almost cruel to introduce weird plot contrivances simply for the sake of visual tomfoolery. Car chases and otter-assisted traffic jams feel too silly for a sequel to a film that was grounded in genuine, honest emotion. This isn’t to say that Finding Dory is Cars 2. It has a soul and won’t steal yours or anything. The degree to which you enjoy this by-the-numbers, unfortunately unnecessary sequel will heavily rely on your tolerance for DeGeneres and embrace of baby Dory, who is, again, the cutest thing ever created by humankind. In terms of cashgrabbing franchises, a commitment Pixar doubled down upon some time ago now, Finding Dory is beyond acceptable. Pleasant, endearing and possessed of enough charm to make you overlook its lack of originality, the film is about as much as you could hope for from such a calculated follow-up. Sadly and honestly, even now, I don’t know if that’s a compliment. The review previously appeared in The Reader of Omaha, Nebraska.

film ‘Violence motherf*ckers!’ Beauty is only blood deep in ‘The Neon Demon’ by Michael J. Casey

ot every director starts a scene by yelling, “Action!” Clint Eastwood gently ON THE BILL: The Neon Demon. Century whispers, “When you’re ready,” while Boulder, 1700 29th St., others don’t even bother calling it. Sam Boulder, 303-444-0583. Fuller used to fire a starter’s pistol into Tickets start at $7.65, cinemark.com the air. And if IMDB.com is to be believed, Danish writer/director Nicolas Winding Refn got his cast and crew going by screaming, “Violence motherfuckers!” Well, there is more than one way to skin a cat. Refn’s directorial exclamation is more than an anecdote; it’s his way of life. The director of the acclaimed Bronson and Drive and the derided Only God Forgives lives to push the envelope and he’s at it once again with The Neon Demon. Building off of cult classics like Beyond the Valley of the Dolls and Grand Guignol theatre, Refn doesn’t just push the envelope, he dropkicks it into next week and defies his competition to keep pace. The Neon Demon’s story is sparse: Jesse (Elle Fanning), fresh off the Midwest-U.S.A. bus, has landed in Los Angeles and is looking to capitalize on her good looks. Barely 16, Jessie knows what she has, and she works her doe-eyes with Lolita precision to turn every male, and a few female, heads In The Neon Demon, Elle Fanning plays Jesse, a 16-year-old Midwestern girl who uses her good looks in the room. Beautiful? Yes. to get ahead in the LA fashion world. But even more so, Jesse has that special quality, that x-factor model agencies, designers and photographers desire: The perfect combination of virginal purity and illicit sexuality. Refn and Neon Demon cinematographer, Natasha Braier, glorify Jesse and her model peers ( Jena Malone, Abbey Lee, Bella Heathcote) by combining precise framing with garish and lurid photography. The Neon Demon is a horror movie and every frame is beautifully composed and photographed with violation, invasion and sinister leering. One standout scene uses strobe lighting to craft some of the most interesting and gorgeous close-ups in recent memory. If not for this fastidious approach, The Neon Demon would hardly be worth mentioning. But the cinematography is so seductive, so sensual, that when paired with Cliff Martinez’s pulsating score, The Neon Demon becomes something impulsively alluring even if it leaves one feeling rather icky. That ickiness comes from Refn’s employment of beauty, both the image and the content of the image. The value of this beauty will be up to each individual viewer, but the squeamish need not apply. Two scenes in particular, one in a morgue and the other at a Malibu beach house, test viewers’ patience and notions of good taste. For Refn, beauty is akin to a swimming pool — attractive on the surface, but ultimately empty and costly. To borrow a line from the British-American novelist Raymond Chandler, “Nothing looks emptier than an empty swimming pool.” If beauty is emptiness, then so is Los Angeles. As an outsider, Refn considers the city, and the people who inhabit it, with admiration and repulsion. He isn’t alone. Many cannot help but be drawn to the glowing lights and the shiny surfaces of what LA has to offer, but is also repulsed by what all that vapidness amounts to. Animals. They eat their own out there. Let’s go watch. Boulder Weekly

or a place that’s only been open for eight months, The Ghost BBQ and Spirits has more stories than some places that have been open for decades. Maybe part of that is its owner, Bob Sargent, a veteran of the restaurant business who’s done everything from bussing tables to cooking food to opening his own catering business (Savory Cuisines Catering in Boulder). Sargent opened The Ghost in November 2015, but the stories begin well before the first customer sat down for a plate of smoked meats and potato salad. First off, Sargent never intended for the restaurant to be a barbecue joint. Located right next to the Boulder Theater (in the space that had been George’s Food and Drink), Sargent had hoped to replicate the kind of success he had when he was cooking bar food for Avery Brewing. But the tiny kitchen in the building on 14th Street wasn’t going to accommodate Sargent’s plans, so he started to rethink the concept. “So I was looking at the brick [walls inside the dining room], and it had a lot of blues pictures, and I thought, ‘This feels like a barbecue place,’” Sargent says. And so he set out to find the perfect smoker. Without an endless supply of money, Sargent had to find a smoker that would get the job done at The Ghost without breaking the bank, and one day, as if by the grace of the barbecue gods, a smoker popped up on eBay that was within Sargent’s price range. The company he found was Heartland Smokers and Cookers out of Sikeston, Missouri, and the owner told Sargent he could build a customized smoker for him within three weeks. This was the end of July 2015. Three weeks passed and when Sargent called

through Kansas. I call him, and he says they are gonna finish it today.” But when Sargent arrived, the smoker still wasn’t finished. All the parts had been constructed and painted but not assembled together. Sargent said he wasn’t leaving Sikeston without his smoker. So the owner called a friend to help him put the rig together. “And it’s an event. The whole town comes, his father-in-law comes,” Sargent says. “People are asking me questions in these thick southern accents. I don’t recognize half of what they are saying. I’m just praying that my smoker will get done.” And it did get done. They loaded it into the rented trailer and closed the door with an eighth of inch of space to spare. With the smoker strapped in, Sargent drove another 16 hours back to Colorado, where he got the smoker forklifted out of the trailer and into the courtyard near The Ghost BBQ (the smoker would ultimately be moved two more times, but that’s another story). As Sargent weaves this yarn, I’ve been enjoying a sampler of chicken wings, a spare rib and brisket, all prepared in this infamous smoker. Everything has been cooked low and slow in the Texas style, spending a few hours in the smoker before being wrapped and placed back in the smoker to finish. The seasonings are minimal, mostly salt and pepper, to allow the flavor of the hickory smoke to take center stage. The rib meat falls away from the bone with minimal force. I’m a mess as I try all five of the in-house made sauces, dragging chunks of brisket through each sauce to see what it’s all about. I tell Sargent everything is “ridiculously amazing,” then pause and say, “Maybe I’ll say something a bit more eloquent in the paper.” “No, no, no,” Sargent says, waving his hand in protest. “We’re reaching a barbecue audience here. Ridiculously amazing is what we want.”

Heartland to check on his smoker, there was no answer. He let another few days pass. Still no answer. “I’m still not being mean at this point because I’ve already sent the guy a check,” Sargent says. It turned out the owner of Heartland had been in the hospital, and he called Sargent to let him know that he’d make sure his guys were working on the smoker. For another two weeks Sargent tried to plan a trip to Missouri to pick up the smoker, but every time he called, the owner of Heartland told him, “Sorry, Bob, it’s just not ready.” It was suddenly the beginning of October — weeks past the estimated opening date for The Ghost. Sargent called to tell the owner of Heartland that he’d be in Sikeston on October 16. “I’d rented a truck I wasn’t even sure the smoker would fit in,” Sargent says. “I get up in the morning and drive 16 hours to Sikeston, Missouri, by myself,

nibbles BY JOHN LEHNDORFF

YOU HAVE TO LOVE A COOKBOOK THAT puts warning labels on some of its recipes: “Warning! Recipes marked with this symbol are INEDIBLE and shouldn’t be attempted.” It makes sense in 1988’s Rock N’ Roll Cuisine (Billboard) by Robin Le Mesurier and Peggy Sue Honneyman-Scott, a collection of recipes from 1980s rock bands with big hair to benefit Phoenix House.

new to read this summer. By “new” I mean a book I forgot I had. Fifteen years as a food writer for the Daily Camera and the Rocky Mountain News delivered an onslaught of food books to my desk. I only kept a tiny fraction, maybe 800 or so, but two moves in 10 years has culled the library to a reasonable number I’ll trim again. However, there are some books I’ll never sell. One of those is 1992’s Are you Hungry Tonight? Elvis’ Favorite Recipes (Grammercy) by Brenda Arlene Butler. It focuses on the young Elvis’ taste for Southern and Midwestern classics from Biscuits and Red-Eye Gravy to Banana Coconut Chiffon Pie. There is a chapter titled “Yes, The King Ate Vegetables,” featuring a recipe for Fresh Kale with Cheese. “At some point in the ’50s Elvis became fond of a dish which is now frequently associated with him,” Butler writes, offering a recipe for a Fried Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich. Elvis’ taste in sandwiches got more excessive later in life and that’s where Colorado comes in. The way I heard it, the King and friends were hanging out on Feb. 1, 1976, at Graceland. Something reminded Elvis of the Fool’s Gold Loaf he had sampled at the long-gone Colorado Gold Mine Company in Glendale. The $50 “sand-

IN THE HAMMOCK WITH ELVIS’ FAVORITE SANDWICH, OZZY’S SCARY CHICKEN AND ALICE TRILLIN Others look quite tasty such as Julian Lennon’s Chicken Cinnamon Soup, Cher’s BoyfriendApproved Macaroni Salad and the almost inevitable Meatloaf ’s Meatloaf. Each recipe page was created by the musician, often handwritten with snapshots, or in the case of Ozzy Osbourne, a cartoon recipe for Ozzy’s Chicken Curry. The volume emerged as I was digging through the recesses of the Nibbles book archive for something

wich” was a hollowed-out loaf of white bread stuffed with a pound of cooked bacon, peanut butter and grape jelly. The entourage ended up taking Elvis’ jet that night to Stapleton Airport where they were met on the tarmac with several Fool’s Gold Loaves. Over the years several eateries have tried to duplicate the monstrosity, but it hasn’t caught on. Maybe some hipster café will revive it with gluten-free bread, artisan boar bacon, hand-ground peanut butter and wild berry conserve. The newest volume in my seasonal pile is a great addition to my pie bookshelf, 2015’s Empanadas: The Hand-Held Pies of Latin America (Stewart, Taboori & Chang).The book takes you through 10 dough variations, dozens of savory and sweet fillings plus salsas, sauces and other toppings. While I might quibble with her account of hand pie history, I have developed a hankering for candied pineapple empanadas. Finally, there is one volume I have re-read every summer for decades. Alice, Let’s Eat: Further Adventures of a Happy Eater (Random House) by Calvin Trillin was published in 1976, and I was given a copy soon thereafter. It’s a revelation — the voice, the sharp humor and the On the Road sensibility. Trillin writes that “Marriage is not merely sharing the fettucini, but sharing the burden of finding the fettucini restaurant in the first place.” He describes the food at private dining rooms as being “so tasteless because the members associate spices and garlic with just the sort of people they’re trying to keep out.” I wanted to be Calvin Trillin and find my own Alice with whom to traverse America’s blue highways in search of the last slice of banana coconut chiffon pie, and reading the book started me on my path to writing this column this week. If you see my book, Denver Dines: A Restaurant Guide and More ( Johnson, 2005), please don’t buy it. I’m proud of it, but now it is mainly a historic artifact see NIBBLES Page 48

Worst New Food Product

The worst new food product I’ve seen on local supermarket shelves in awhile is So Natural Microwave Corn on the Cob, available at the Lafayette Wal-Mart. It is two, pre-cooked mini corn cobs vacuum-sealed in heavy plastic and on the shelf next to the canned corn. Thank goodness it’s non-GMO. Cost: $1.58. Or maybe just eat an ear of fresh sweet corn?

Taste of the Week

Keep an eye out for the new season of organic “Cotton Candy” grapes. I don’t always endorse fruit, but this remarkable result of luck and selective breeding is the best-tasting grape I’ve ever sampled. The yellowish-green fruit does initially taste a bit like cotton candy but mostly it’s a great juicy flavor balanced between tart and sweet.

hen I was in college, we drank beer. When my sons were in college, they drank draft beer. But when my granddaughter was in college, she’d get together with five girls, go out to a restaurant, and they’d each put $10 toward a $60 bottle of wine.” Tony Terlato, the chairman of Terlato Wine Group, shared this story while explaining why his entire company is focused on millennials. Marketers everywhere are obsessed with this demographic, which is comprised of those born between 1980 and 2000. But hearing Tony Terlato talk about this generation was different. Terlato isn’t some young, tech-obsessed marketing executive. He just celebrated his 80th birthday and has worked in the wine industry for nearly six decades. Master sommelier Tim Gaiser recently praised Terlato for bringing “wine into mainstream American consciousness” and gave him credit for helping change “domestic wine tastes from mass-produced, sweet, fortified jug wines that dominated drinking habits after WWII to the likes of classified-growth Bordeaux, top Italian estates, and the best wineries in California that are enjoyed by many Wikimedia Commons today.” Indeed, one in every eight bottles of wine over $14 sold in America passes through Terlato’s sales and marketing firm, Terlato Wines International. So Terlato has seen it all. And he’s more optimistic than ever before about the future of America’s wine market, because he’s certain that millennials are embracing wine. Most forward-looking companies are targeting the nation’s 75 million millennials, of course. Today’s young professionals have more discretionary income than any previous generation, so working to attract these consumers makes sense. In the wine industry, though, many are dismissive of today’s 20- and 30-somethings. Three years ago, while speaking on a panel about marketing to the next generation of wine drinkers at the Culinary Institute of America in Napa Valley, Kayla Koroush of Heringer Estates talked about a recent experience in an area tasting room. Because of her age, she was completely ignored. Treating any customer — in wine and elsewhere — in such a fashion is inexcusable. But in the wine industry, Kayla’s experience is common. Some industry leaders even defend ignoring this demographic. Rob McMillan, who heads up Silicon Valley Bank’s wine division, has urged his colleagues to spend less time worrying about young consumers, because it’s “absolutely false” to think that millennials are driving fine wine sales. Never mind the fact that today’s youngest consumers grew up seeing wine as part of the American experience. Or the fact that more wines from more places are more available than ever before. Plus, as Joe Roberts of 1WineDude.com once wrote in an industry missive, “You cannot ignore this younger generation forever. Boomers and Gen Xers will some day have to stop buying your wine because they have a terminal condition that will eventually kill them all (it’s called being human).” Baby boomers do have more spending power than millennials, but millennials are more likely to spend more than $20 on a bottle of wine. Terlato has noticed this. “Millennials can afford to spend $20, $25 on a bottle of wine; they don’t even think twice about it,” he commented. Terlato has always tried to predict where the wine market is headed. “I want to try to be where the market is going,” he explained, “because if you’re where the market already is, it’s too late to be important — somebody else already made those plans.” And he’s succeeded. Consider Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio, which Terlato discovered in 1979 while in northern Italy searching for America’s next great white. Shortly after bringing the wine to market, it became the most successful imported wine priced over $15 in U.S. history. In his autobiography, Terlato wrote about a 1956 encounter with Robert Mondavi, where Mondavi predicted that one day, a bottle of wine would be on every American dinner table. We’re not there yet, but if Terlato’s granddaughter is any indication, that’s where we’re headed. David White is the founder and editor of Terroirist.com. His columns are housed at Grape Collective.

ARIES

MARCH 21-APRIL 19: “The past lives on in art and

memory,” writes author Margaret Drabble, “but it is not static: it shifts and changes as the present throws its shadow backwards.” That’s a fertile thought for you to meditate on during the coming weeks, Aries. Why? Because your history will be in a state of dramatic fermentation. The old days and the old ways will be mutating every which way. I hope you will be motivated, as a result, to rework the story of your life with flair and verve.

TAURUS APRIL

20-MAY

20:

better to sell out a little and be, say, just 75 percent faithful to your muse? The next 12 months will be an excellent time for you to figure this out once and for all.

CANCER

JUNE 21-JULY 22: My meditations have generated six metaphorical scenarios that will symbolize the contours of your life story during the next 15 months: 1. a claustrophobic tunnel that leads to a sparkling spa; 2. a 19thcentury Victorian vase filled with 13 fresh wild orchids; 3. an immigrant who, after tenacious effort, receives a green card from her new home country; 4. an 11-year-old child capably playing a 315-year-old Stradivarius violin; 5. a menopausal empty-nester who falls in love with the work of an ecstatic poet; 6. a humble seeker who works hard to get the help necessary to defeat an old curse.

astrology

“Critics of text-messaging are wrong to think it’s a regressive form of communication,” writes poet Lily Akerman. “It demands so much concision, subtlety, psychological art — in fact, it’s more like pulling Go to RealAstrology.com to check out puppet strings than writRob Brezsny’s EXPANDED WEEKLY AUDIO LEO ing.” I bring this thought HOROSCOPES and DAILY TEXT MESSAGE JULY 23-AUG. 22: to your attention, Taurus, HOROSCOPES.

If I want to be successful, I’ve got to sell out; I must water down my unique message and pay VIRGO homage to the generic formulas favored by celebrity artists.

As a result, my described the opponent he was most wary of: “I fear not soul has thrived and I eventually earned enough money the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear from my art to avoid starvation. But does my path apply to the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.” In you? Maybe; maybe not. What if, in your case, it would be my astrological opinion, you should regard that as one of

your keystone principles during the next 12 months. Your power and glory will come from honing one specific skill, not experimenting restlessly with many different skills. And the coming weeks will be en excellent time to set your intention.

LIBRA

SEPT. 23-OCT. 22: To celebrate my birthday, I’m taking time off from dreaming up original thoughts and creative spurs. For this horoscope, I’m borrowing some of the BOLD Laws of author Dianna Kokoszka. They are in sweet alignment with your astrological omens for the next 13 months. Take it away, Dianna. 1. Focus on the solution, not the problem. 2. Complaining is a garbage magnet. 3. What you focus on expands. 4. Do what you have always done, and you will get what you have always gotten. 5. Don’t compare your insides to other people’s outsides. 6. Success is simple, but not easy. 7. Don’t listen to your drunk monkey. 8. Clarity is power. 9. Don’t mistake movement for achievement. 10. Spontaneity is a conditioned reflex. 11. People will grow into the conversations you create around them. 12. How you participate here is how you participate everywhere. 13. Live your life by design, not by default.

SCORPIO

OCT. 23-NOV. 21: No pressure, no diamond. No grit, no pearl. No cocoon, no butterfly. All these clichés will be featured themes for you during the next 12 months. But I hope you will also come up with fresher ways to think about the power and value that can be generated by tough assignments. If you face your exotic dilemmas and unprecedented riddles armed with nothing more than your culture’s platitudes, you won’t be able to tap into the untamed creativity necessary to turn problems into opportunities. Here’s an example of the kind of original thinking you’ll thrive on: The more the growing chamomile plant is trodden upon, the faster it grows.

SAGITTARIUS

NOV. 22-DEC. 21: The royal courts of Renaissance England often employed professional fools whose job it was to speak raw or controversial truths with comedic effect. According to the Royal Shakespeare Company, Queen Elizabeth once castigated her fool for being “insufficiently severe with her.” The modern-day ombudsman

has some similarities to the fool’s function. He or she is hired by an organization to investigate complaints lodged by the public against the organization. Now would be an excellent time for you to have a fool or ombudsman in your own sphere, Sagittarius. You’ve got a lot of good inklings, but some of them need to be edited, critiqued or perhaps even satirized.

CAPRICORN

DEC. 22-JAN. 19: Capricorn journalist Katie Couric is a best-selling author who has interviewed five American presidents and had prominent jobs at three major TV networks. What’s her secret to success? She has testified that her goal is to be as ingratiating and charming as she can be without causing herself to throw up. I don’t often recommend this strategy for you, but I do now. The coming weeks will be prime time for you to expand your web of connections and energize your relationships with existing allies by being almost too nice. To get what you want, use politeness as your secret weapon.

AQUARIUS

JAN. 20-FEB. 18:“The water cannot talk without the rocks,” says aphorist James Richardson. Does that sound like a metaphor you’d like to celebrate in the coming weeks? I hope so. From what I can tell, you will be like a clean, clear stream rippling over a rocky patch of river bed. The not-really-all-that-bad news is that your flow may feel erratic and jerky. The really good news is that you will be inspired to speak freely, articulately and with creative zing.

PISCES

FEB. 19-MARCH 20: Every now and then you may benefit from being a bit juvenile, even childlike. You can release your dormant creativity by losing your adult composure and indulging in free-form play. In my astrological opinion, this is one of those phases for you. It’s high time to lose your cool in the best possible ways. You have a duty to explore the frontiers of spontaneity and indulge in I-don’t-give-a-cluck exuberance. For the sake of your peace-of-soul and your physical health, you need to wriggle free of at least some of your grown-up responsibilities so you can romp and cavort and frolic.

Dear Dan: I recently synced my phone contacts to my Twitter account. When I was scrolling through the list of people who turned up from my contacts, I saw a username that looked out of place. It was the account of a low-key traditionalguy friend of mine. To my surprise, on the account he was dressed as a woman in a few of the pictures and was with another Twitter user who is a popular dominatrix in the area where he lives. I’m sex-positive and support people who are gender nonconforming, of course. I also © LaRae Lobdell work for a porn company, so I don’t judge anyone who participates in BDSM. My concern is that I don’t know if this person is aware that his account can be found via a regular old social media and phone sync. I don’t want him to get outed for being a fetishist or possibly being gender questioning or transgender if he does not want to be out. Should I give him a heads up? Should I keep my mouth shut? I want to be respectful. — Knowing Isn’t Necessarily Knowledge, Yes?

Boulder Weekly

SAVAGE by Dan Savage

Dear KINKY: Send that traditional guy a note, KINKY, but “bury the lead,” as they say in the news biz. Instead of opening with those particular photos being easily accessible to all, open with the relevant facts about yourself: “You know I work in porn, and I’m not fazed by BDSM or sex work or any sort of gender-related sex play, and I’m a big supporter of gender-nonconforming people as well as the trans community.” Then let him know what you found, how you stumbled across it and how to adjust his privacy settings. Dear Dan: My name is Peter and I’m a longtime fan. I’ve also been very involved with the Human Rights Campaign and their work in getting the Equality Act passed. I’m 21 and only recently out of the closet. I opened up about my sexuality after the passage of

Love

marriage equality last June and have since been a proud gay man. It seemed that since marriage equality, our community was only going up. Even the passage of HB2 didn’t make me cynical about the future. But this recent shooting has changed my world completely. Fighting for equality in housing, education and employment seems like a joke after this massive act of violence in Orlando. I’m looking to someone in the community for guidance. — Peter Dear Peter: They don’t win — the haters don’t win — when they chase us, beat us or kill us. They win when we stop fighting. Please don’t stop fighting. And please don’t despair. Hundreds of thousands of us died in the 1980s and ’90s when hate, fear, greed, racism and negligence intersected with a deadly virus. A lot of us felt then the way you do now — that it was over, that it was hopeless, that the coming out and

the organizing and the fighting had been for nothing, and that everything we had won up to that point was meaningless. And then we got up off our butts and we showed them — we showed those motherfuckers — that the fight in us was greater than the hate in them. We showed them that we were stronger and smarter than they were, we showed that fucking virus that we were stronger and smarter than it was, and we made it clear to them that we were not going to shut up and die quietly or go back into the closet and die alone. And we had only each other for a while there — for a long while. For years we fought alone. Look at who is on our side today — all good and decent people everywhere. The president of the United States and the next president of the United States. Look at the rallies, look at the vigils, look at the outpouring of love, sympathy and support. Don’t look at the killer. Don’t look at the haters. Don’t look at the vile comments left by shit people on Twitter and Facebook. Look at the good. Look at the love. Look at the good and loving people inside and outside the LGBT community and take strength from their love and support. Then get out there and fight.

They would then charge stupid high rental rates, could be in better compliance with the spirit of the like an order of magnitude higher than market, and law (reducing criminal activity) instead of the letter of that’s how they extracted their money out of the busi-

ness.” Not only is this problematic because that money is not regulated, but there is no way to know who these out-of-state investors are. Without regulated investments and background checks, there is no assurance that the landlords are not cartel members. External capital is also attractive to Colorado cannabis businesses for a few reasons. First and foremost because the cost of capital in the industry is pushed extraordinarily high without access to bank loans and with an arbitrarily limited pool of investors. “Our cost of capital is anywhere between 18 and 25 percent, and it is really hard to build a viable business that has incredibly high federal tax burdens when your capital costs you what your credit card costs you,” Heizer says. “We want to be a business that plays on par with all of the other business as much as possible but can’t do that without reducing that percentage.” This is important for a company like LivWell, one of the biggest cannabis players in the state, but perhaps more important to the smaller mom-and-pop shops trying to keep pace with rapid growth and ever changing regulations, both of which require frequent dips into capital reserves. This causes major cash flow problems for businesses and can often exhaust capital reserves, inhibiting their ability to compete. When it came to winning over the Colorado legislature, the most effective argument was keeping Colorado competitive as more states and countries legalize marijuana. Without an option to invest in Colorado, legislators worried that they would forfeit that capital to other states that would accept the cash, unnecessarily putting Colorado’s industry at a disadvantage. “We need to remain a leader because we are one,” Heizer says. “That was the most persuasive argument, especially in gaining bipartisan support. It allowed the Democrats to hop on to it. The Republicans were behind it from the very beginning because it is just smart business.” This opinion column does not necessarily reflect the views of Boulder Weekly.

cannabis corner

Anti-pot Prop 139 missed the Alzheimer’s memo

here may be a major anti-marijuana initiative on the Colorado Ballot this November. Here’s what you need to know about it, and about a couple of studies that make a mockery about one of its claims regarding “permanent loss of brain abilities.” The initiative is called Proposition 139. Its proponents last week were given the green light to start circulating their petitions by the Colorado Supreme Court. They have until August 8 to collect 98,000 signatures to get it on the ballot. If passed, Proposition 139 would impose an upper limit of 16 percent THC on the potency of marijuana and marijuana products. Marijuana industry spokespeople say this would effectively ban 80 percent of the marijuana products being sold today. The initiative would also impose a labeling requirement that would require all marijuana and marijuana products to contain a warning label listing “identified health risks,” which reads like something out of a bad remake of Reefer Madness. The “health risks” that would have to be listed on all pot, concentrates and edibles sold in Colorado include: (i) increased chance of a harmful reaction due to higher tetrahydrocannabinol levels; (ii) birth defects and reduced brain development; (iii) increased risk of brain and behavioral problems in babies; (iv) breathing problems; (v) permanent loss of brain abilities; (vi) altered senses and mood swings; (vii) impaired body movement and impaired thinking; (viii) depression, anxiety and temporary paranoia; (ix) potential for long-term addiction. If Proposition 139 gets on the ballot and passes,

this laundry list of alleged horrors will be written into the Colorado Constitution. Proposition 139’s chances of actually getting onto the ballot are murky. The supporters will have a total of only seven weeks to gather the needed signatures, which is a heavy lift, but not an impossible one if they are well-organized and sufficiently well-funded to hire paid petition circulators. In other words, they have a real chance of making the ballot if the rubber band is off Sheldon Adelson’s bankroll, as well as mounting a serious campaign in the fall. The Colorado marijuana industry would do well to assume that Prop 139 will be on the ballot in the fall and they ought to start raising some serious money to fight it. Starting now. Many of the items on Proposition 139’s putative warning label are based on junk science studies that have already been debunked. We’ll go over it point

by point if Prop 139 actually makes it onto the ballot. However, one item merits special mention — item five, “permanent loss of brain abilities.” This is because some studies are emerging that show marijuana — far from causing “permanent loss of brain abilities” — can combat Alzheimer’s Disease. A 2014 “pre-clinical” study (a laboratory study conducted on cells, not patients) done at the University of South Florida and published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease found that small doses of THC can reduce the production of protein fragments called beta-amyloids that destroy synapses in the brain and eventually form plaques that lead to nerve cell death. The study also found that THC directly interacts with beta-amyloids inhibiting aggregation into plaques. More recently, an Israeli study of a small group of Alzheimer patients by researchers at Tel-Aviv and Bar-Illan Universities, also published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, found that ingestion of cannabis oil corresponded with decreased levels of aggression, irritability, apathy and delusions. “Adding medical cannabis oil to Alzheimer’s disease patients pharmacotherapy is safe and a promising treatment option,” the researchers concluded. For years, marijuana prohibitionists claimed that marijuana caused cancer. Eventually, multiple studies found that not only did pot not cause cancer, it had strong anti-cancer properties. While not as much work has been done on marijuana and Alzheimer’s, these initial studies suggest a similar pattern may be about to emerge regarding marijuana neo-prohibitionists’ and re-criminalizers’ brain damage claims. “Permanent loss of brain abilities” indeed.

(IN CASE YOU MISSED IT) An irreverent and not always accurate view of the world

THE PRINCESS PARADOX In the latest extremely important, not overly obvious study, Brigham Young University researchers found evidence that Disney princess culture could be harmful for girls. No way! After studying almost 200 preschools who engaged with princess culture, they found the girls were more inclined to adhere to female stereotypes, which researcher Sarah Coyne says can limit girls’ confidence to enter math and science areas, further discouraging them to “get dirty,” making them less inclined to explore and experiment. Is nothing sacred? How can Disney princess movies be next up on the liberal feminist chopping block when they’re filled with so many good, empowering lessons and characters? Snow White? A story about a witch so obsessed with youth and beauty that she poisons an innocent girl. The Little Mermaid? Starring a female sea creature with killer pipes who gives up her voice to be closer to a guy. Cinderella? A tale that proves it’s the beauty of your shoes, not your character, that gets you noticed. Belle? A woman who falls in love with a “beast,” which does not in any way romanticize domestic violence. Sleeping Beauty? With its romantic ending of a prince kissing his unconscious, non-consenting princess. How could any of theses story lines be damaging to girls? Of course, there was one group that did benefit: boys! The study found boys who partook in princess culture were more helpful to others and had greater confidence. Wait a minute... that can’t be right. Something intended for female consumption could combat hyper masculinity and be beneficial for males? Does that mean it could be the other way around? If girls were exposed to more math and science culture in the mainstream media it would be beneficial to them? Are you saying that gender is a social construct and kids shouldn’t be force fed only a certain type of media and culture because of their genitals? Nah. Wikimedia Commons/ RyC Behind The Lens

NO LIZARD LEFT BEHIND Imagine the dismay when you’re Courtesy of Boulder County Sheriff’s Department told you can’t, in fact, bring your pet iguana into the Boulder County Courthouse. We have a feeling the owner who attempted the aforementioned feat was clued in on this particular folly before trying. Why else would they hide their iguana in a handbag and put it through the metal detector instead of walking it on a leash as most iguana owners do when strutting their pet around town? Why else indeed. Well good eye, Boulder County Sheriff officers who made out the skeletal shape of the large lizard in an x-ray image on Friday, June 17. Imagine the surprise. In case you were wondering, only service animals are allowed in the Courthouse and lizards have yet to be trained as such. According to a Twitter image and the follow-up story by Associated Press, the owner simply took their lizard and waited outside, not wanting to be separated from their scaly, coldblooded friend. Nice try.
