Correction: The May 30 article “Boulder altogether” misspelled the name of Giulia Pecone. Clarification: The May 30 article “Physical theater and the silent tragedy of the inanimate” stated that Naropa University’s MFA program used to emphasize physical theater. The program still emphasizes physical theater, but not the specific Lecoq method used by the actors in the story.

Nablus: The time has come

(Re: “Boulder’s sad siblings,” Danish Plan, May 30.) Sister cities are designed for people-to-people opportunities to learn about each other, to share expertise, and broaden and expand appreciation for the diversity, as well as similarity, our world holds. The Boulder Nablus Sister City Project has initiated projects intended to offer opportunities to citizens in both cities, including yoga, rock climbing, teacher training, student

needs trees, shrubs, flowers and other plants that glow in the dark. I don’t mean glow dimly like a lightning bug or a luminous painting of Elvis on velvet, but a potted plant giving off enough light to read by. Wouldn’t that be cool? OK, actually it’d be silly. But ready or not, luminescent plants are likely to be the next grand contribution to humankind by the genetic tinkerers who brought us such advances as tomatoes implanted with fish genes. This latest bunch of biotech frankensteiners have given their mad science an oxymoronic title: Synthetic biology. Their goal is to “create” new living things not found in nature, by inserting man-made “genes” into the DNA of say, a rose bush. Voila! A burning bush that’ll light up your yard at night. Already, one of the plant tamperers has formed a corporation called BioGlow, to commercialize such things.

Renewable energy threatens big utilities by Dave Anderson

olar power and other renewable energy technologies may destroy U.S. investor-owned utilities. Amazingly, that is the conclusion of a recent policy paper from the Edison Electric Institute (EEI), an association of U.S. investor-owned utilities. This has received virtually no notice in the mainstream media, according to an MIT program that tracks science journalism. The report, entitled “Disruptive Challenges: Financial Implications and Strategic Responses to a Changing Retail Electric Business,” notes that the cost of power generation from solar panels, wind, geothermal, micro-hydro and fuel cells running on natural gas has been dropping dramatically. Residential and commercial utility customers can now generate some or all of their own power economically instead of drawing it from the grid. The cost of such distributed generation is set to continue falling as more of it is deployed around the world, and “could directly threaten the centralized utility model,” the report acknowledges. David Roberts, writing in Grist, explains that “the power generated by solar panels on residential or commercial roofs is not utility-owned or utility-purchased. From the utility’s point of view, every kilowatt-hour of rooftop solar looks like a kilowatt-hour of reduced demand for the utility’s product. Not something any business enjoys. ... It’s worse than that, though. Solar power peaks at midday, which means it is strongest close to the point of highest electricity use — ‘peak load.’ Problem is, providing power to meet peak load is where utilities make a huge chunk of their money. Peak power is the most expensive power. So when solar panels provide peak power, they aren’t just reducing demand, they’re reducing demand for the utilities’ most valuable product.” It has been assumed that renewable energy sources are limited by the fact they are intermittent. The sun doesn’t always shine and the wind isn’t always blowing. However, the EEI report says “one can imagine a day when battery storage technology or micro turbines could allow customers to be electric grid independent. To put this into perspective, who would have believed 10 years ago that traditional wire line telephone customers could economically ‘cut the cord?’” In Germany, which has been aggres8 June 6, 2013

sively utilizing renewable power for the past decade, solar power has nearly reached grid parity and may now be “unstoppable” even without subsidies, according to Macquarie Group, a global investment bank. In fact, Deutsche Bank just released a report concluding that the global solar market will become sustainable on its own terms by the end of 2014 and will no longer need subsidies. Germany already receives nearly 25 percent of its electricity from renewable sources, up from just under 7 percent 13 years ago. This is an impressive accomplishment, since Germany has the planet’s fifth-largest economy and is the third-largest exporter. Since 2004, cleanenergy investments in Germany grew by 122 percent. Jobs in the renewable energy sector have more than doubled, to around 380,000 jobs during the same period. Environmental activist and writer Bill McKibben praises the Germans, noting that there were days last summer when Germany “generated more than half its power from solar panels within its borders. Germany’s program isn’t perfect, but then, Germany doesn’t have Florida and Arizona and New Mexico and the California desert.” A 2000 German federal law that let citizens produce their own clean power and compete with utilities inspired Boulderites who wanted to “decentralize, decarbonize and democratize energy” via municipalization, according to Boulder Deputy Mayor Liza Morzel. Boulder City Council and environmentalists have prodded and goosed Xcel Energy (which has been heavily dependent on coal) into putting more clean energy into the grid, without much success. Finally, a movement for municipalization took off. It’s not a new idea. Today 15 percent of U.S. electrical generation is sold through publicly owned municipal power systems, and another 10 percent is sold through rural electrical cooperatives, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. There are 29 city-owned utilities in Colorado, including Fort Collins, Longmont and Colorado Springs. Fossil fuels cannot remain the dominant energy source if the planet is to survive. We have to keep the coal, oil and gas in the ground. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com This opinion column does not necessarily reflect the views of Boulder Weekly.

with all relevant legalities governing sister cities. In this case, approval does not imply council’s opinion about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict anymore than approving Yateras, Cuba, implies council’s siding with the Cuban government. 2. Safety — Dozens of our supporters have travelled to Nablus, in some cases for months at a time, and have had the most wonderful experiences. Delegates have included teenagers, seniors and in between. Without exception, they enthusiastically encourage us all to visit Nablus. 3. Divisiveness — Our project has been underway for two years. We have conducted dozens of events in Boulder. In no event have we experienced upset in the community. There has been no disruption, tears, mobs, anger or other sign of discord. We fully expect this to continue following the June 10 hearing. 4. One-sided — In the spirit of sister cities, our intent is to share Palestinian culture and experience. Our role is not to make commentary on foreign policies or political viewpoints. Our role is to share a new culture with fellow citizens. 5. Human Rights — While it is true that Palestinians face considerable human rights abuses, some even from their own government, the people themselves share all the same values we hold dear — love of family, friends and neighbors and kindness to strangers. We intend to collaborate with nonprofits in Nablus that share our interest in supporting women’s and human rights and the well-being of all. Anyone who has spent time in the Occupied

Territories will attest to the incredible hospitality bestowed upon visitors, regardless of religious identity. Palestinians are overwhelmingly kind, generous, good-natured and welcoming.

Psy-ops lawsuit?

(Re: “Failure to extend drilling moratorium sparks talk of recall election for commissioners,” DyerTimes, May 30.) Perhaps a nice whopping lawsuit against Range Resources Communications for their “psy ops” on the average American taxpayer would go a long way in keeping the ball in play, many years down the road. We might even win it, providing the decision hits when there’s a president to the left of Barack Obama. Karen Janson/via Internet You made the case quite superbly! Kaye Fissinger/Longmont

Chavez was not recalled

(Re: “Kidnapped,” cover story, May 9.) Ms. Salinas declares that Hugo Chavez’ presidency was “illegal.” According to a Carter Center Comprehensive Report: “On Aug. 15, 2004, Venezuelans came out in record numbers to participate in the first popularly mandated presidential recall referendum ever to be held.

in case you missed it

BOHN GETS THE SHAFT The forced resignation of University of Colorado Athletic Director Mike Bohn is about money. And that’s sad. Granted, Bohn didn’t do enough to turn around the sorry financial state of the athletics department, but he inherited a football program that was reeling from a nationally publicized sex scandal and a coach who thought girls couldn’t kick because they were, well, girls. And granted, he didn’t do enough to turn around a program that foolishly invested $42 million into a 2003 expansion of the football stadium that it could never quite recover from financially, but that decision was made on his predecessor’s watch. In 2006, after one faculty leader referred to the project as a “stadium monstrosity,” and after CU Nobel Prize winner Carl Wieman ripped the campus publicly for being more beholden to athletics issues than its academic mission, the university agreed to provide the athletics department an additional $3.5 million to balance its budget. The amount the campus ultimately loaned the department in 2006 was $8 million, reflecting the amount it had to pay to former coach Gary Barnett in the financial settlement related to his departure following the scandal. In addition, the president’s office reportedly loaned the athletics department a total of $10 million in spring 2012 to help cover expenses associated with moving to the Pac-12 Conference in 2011, not including a related $6 million from those two entities that doesn’t need to be repaid. It’s apparent that the university’s leaders could no longer tolerate the bleeding. Regardless of the fact that Mike Bohn is a really good guy, he was dealt a bum hand and could never recover from it. Football, er, we mean, the athletics department, has not been about the student-athlete for a long, long time, and that’s too bad. It’s about money, and as long as that’s the case, having a Division I football team will always be antithetical to the university’s academic mission. Maybe CU will prove us wrong and keep interim AD Ceal Barry on permanently, demonstrating that they won’t play along with this good ol’ boys’ poker game any longer and they have their priorities in the right place. EMAIL HELL As you can imagine, we get a considerable amount of email at Boulder Weekly, and most of what pours into our main accounts for letters to the editor and press releases is, well, junk. But we’ve gotten pretty adept at deleting vast swaths of spam swiftly and decisively. At the risk of tipping off the people who want us to vacation in Malaysia to what our methods are, here is usually how it works. Subject lines, not the senders’ names, are usually the best indicator of whether something might be newsworthy for us to print. If a subject line says something like “Hello Friend,” “Please Acknowledge Receipt,” “I Need Your Assistance,” or “Urgent Request,” chances are it’s crap. Especially when there is unnecessary capitalization. Broken English and foreign languages are often dead giveaways, as are senders’ names that have formal, unnecessary titles, like “Mr. Angwar Chin.” Obviously, messages with topics such as burning belly fat, removing moles, new and improved garden hoses and metabolism boosters are usually not worth opening. But recently we saw a subject line we just couldn’t resist. Our finger hovered over the “delete” key for a good three seconds, which is an eternity in the process of excising the massive fat from our bloated inboxes. In the end, though, we couldn’t bring ourselves to send it to its demise in the ether. It said “Toxic Belly Bugs.” Yikes! We opened it, justifying the foolish move by thinking there might be a legitimate, highly contagious ailment threatening the good people of Boulder County. Um, no. All it contained was a bunch of computer code gibberish. Sigh. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com Boulder Weekly

Move bypasses the people

The Town of Superior is poised to grow by 30 percent on Monday, June 10, potentially increasing taxes and decreasing our quality of living without a citizen vote. Elected officials will consider giving away up to $140 million in tax increment financing to a developer proposing to build 1,500 residences on 150 acres. This is public financing to the tune of almost $1 million per acre for a high-density residential development. This is not the town center envisioned for the last major parcel of land within the town’s boundaries as agreed upon in the town planning process. It is a high-density housing development with less than one full downtown block. To entice town staff and board members, the developer is promising to build a new town hall, over twice the size of the current one, a new recreation center and a new community center with library space. Never mind that residents have voted down the funding for the construction and operation of a recreation center twice and a library once. On June 10, the board can approve these expenditures without going to the voters! In addition to the increased taxes for operation of new public amenities and services, the proposed development is right at the gateway to the town and, by the way, Boulder County. Additional traffic in the area could impact our existing revenue-generating businesses while providing no new significant revenue. Most alarming is that only 200 neighbors adjacent to this proposed development have been noticed about this monumental change. This is not due process. After years of planning and citizen input, the vision for our Boulder Weekly

town center has been tossed. In just a matter of months, our elected representatives are being asked to move forward with something completely different and to spend an inordinate amount of public funding, which will burden the community far into the future.

Gardner harvests lies

This letter is in response to Rep. Cory Gardner’s recent guest opinion in The Denver Post, where he proclaims that we don’t need top-down federal regulations since Colorado’s regulations are already stringent enough to protect citizens from fracking. Did you know, however, that this industry is exempt from current federal environmental regulations — and it’s called the “Halliburton loophole”? Gardner continues with the industry mantra that fracking has never caused a documented case of water contamination, yet our very own COGCC database has thousands of spill records that indicate groundwater and aquifer contamination. Denying water contamination is an outright lie and one that you’ll hear over and over again, fashioned by the industry spin machine that writes the scripts for the unconventional oil and gas industry. Even our governor spouts the same propaganda. We are led to believe that state and federal regulations offer us protection, but according to the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund, regulations only “regulate” the amount of harm done to us. Regulations don’t stop the industry from contaminating the air, nor do they stop the industry from destroying our most precious resource — water — which becomes so toxic after fracking that it must be transported away and injected deep into the earth. However, this highly toxic brew doesn’t necessarily stay entombed, according to several scientists who believe most of our groundwater is at risk from leaking injection wells in the future. Remember the fracked well leak in Parachute that contaminated the town’s water supply? Did regulations protect the citizens? No! Their news story seems to have faded away. However, Parachute citizens continue to be victimized by a powerful industry that cares more about profits than your health, safety and well-being. Energy independence? What price do we have to pay?

news Experts: Contamination from teahouse site likely spread by Jefferson Dodge and Joel Dyer

wo experts on manufactured gas plants like the one that operated at the Dushanbe Teahouse site in Boulder for half a century say it’s likely that contamination found at a nearby dry cleaner site came from the plant. And it seems there are some features of the historic gas plant that have been unaccounted for. One expert has suggested that the teahouse be moved, at least temporarily, so that the site can be properly cleaned up. The City of Boulder, which now owns the property, and its consultants have argued that a toxin called naphthalene found about a block southeast did not come from the gas plant, partly because groundwater at the site flows northeast. But scientists say naphthalene in groundwater is considered a “fingerprint” for gas plants. Allen Hatheway, who wrote a 1,400-page book titled Remediation of Former Manufactured Gas Plants and Other Coal-Tar Sites and is considered one of the nation’s top authorities on the topic, says that while dry-cleaning operations have their own set of contamination threats, naphthalene isn’t typically one of them. “If there is naphthalene at the dry cleaner or anywhere else, it’s most likely associated with the gasworks,” he

rom the time that the first commercial gas utility was formed in London in 1812 until approximately the 1950s, there have been three primary methods for making town gas: the coal carbonization process, the oil gas process and the carburetted water gas process. In 1902, Boulder’s 13th Street plant was built to use the coal carbonization process. In fact, the Boulder facility was extraordinary in that it was the first town-gas manufacturing facility in the world to create a successful technique for making gas from lignite, also known as soft coal. At some point in its life, probably prior to 1920, the Boulder town gas plant upgraded its equipment and began to use the carburetted water gas process to create gas with higher BTUs that was more reliable to burn. It is important to know which processes were used at the 13th Street site because each gas-making technique creBoulder Weekly

This aerial photo, taken between 1939 and 1943, shows the gas plant and its two holders.

says, adding that it doesn’t make sense for groundwater to be flowing away from Boulder Creek, at least not for any great distance. “Why would the groundwater be flowing to the north-

east?” Similarly, Bob Lewis, who is principal hydrogeologist at Aqui-Ver and who has investigated more than 50 gasification plants around the country

Boulder’s town gas processes and the resulting contamination by Jefferson Dodge and Joel Dyer ates a different fingerprint of contaminants. By knowing the process used, those evaluating and/or remediating a site can better understand what they should be looking and testing for. According to the Heritage Research Center, other historical resources, as well as interviews with knowledgeable experts, the town gas processes used at Boulder’s 13th Street site were as follows. The coal carbonization process used at the Boulder plant created gas by distilling the coal in heated, anaerobic vessels known as retorts. The coal was broken down into its volatile components by heating it in a nearly oxygen-free

environment. As a result of this heating, some of the coal, about two-fifths, was turned into non-solids or gases. Most of the remaining coal was left as solid wastes needing disposal. The gases were then put through a device known as the hydraulic main, at which point some of the gases were converted to liquors, which consisted of contaminated water, coal tar and its associated contaminants. The remaining gas was coal gas, but at this point, it was still full of dangerous impurities. Once out of the hydraulic main, the coal gas was put through one or more condensers and an exhauster. These cooled the gas and allowed still more

coal tar and other impurities, primarily gaseous ammonia and sulfur compounds, to be removed. This process was known as washing, or purifying, the gas. Allen Hatheway, who has examined thousands of gas works properties and who also wrote the 1,400-page book Remediation of Former Manufactured Gas Plants and Other Coal-Tar Sites, says that during the purifying process, workers would fill a purifier box or vertical “tree” purifier with lime, wood chips and/or iron oxide, then force the gas through the box or tower, allowing the materials to act as a filter. Once the materials became spent and stopped filtering out toxins, the box waste would be dumped at the plant or its nearby disposal site. When asked how toxic the purifier wastes were, he replies, “Oh God, you wouldn’t believe it. They were the kidneys of the plant.” Without this purifying technique, See CONTAMINATION Page 14

found at dry cleaners is different from the liquid form of the substance that one would find emanating from gas plants and turning up in monitoring wells like those dug at the dry cleaner site a block from the teahouse. “I’m not an expert on the dry cleaning process, but I’ve worked on a number of dry cleaning sites, and typically you find that the chlorinated solvents they used tend to be the problem at those sites, not naphthalene,” he says. “I’ve not seen that at those types of facilities. It’s much more likely to come from a gas plant, and I wouldn’t necessarily even talk about the mothballs, because I’m not sure how they would end up in the groundwater. Basically, when you look at a facility and the materials that they use, you might come across mothballs and naphthalene and say, oh, well, that’s why it could have come from the dry cleaner site, and that’s not very likely.” Lewis adds that the city should be able to provide some additional scientific evidence to back up the claim that its property was not responsible for contamination at the dry cleaner. “If they’re just saying that without any data, then I don’t know why they’d assume it didn’t come from the gas site,” he says. “My first inclination would be that it came from the gas plant.” Lewis also agreed that while the nearby ditch may cause groundwater at the 13th Street Plaza to move to the northeast, it’s bound to change direction.

examination of historic Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps is inconclusive, although there are several areas around the property where no structures were built until after the plant’s holders were torn down in the early 1950s. “If a house post-dates the gasworks, it may be in trouble,” Hatheway says, explaining that these dumping sites “would be graded and leveled, and they’d build a house on it for some poor bastard.” Similarly, historic aerial photos don’t definitively show evidence of a disposal area on or next to the property. But after examining them carefully, Hatheway, who was an aerial observer in the U.S. Army and who has been interpreting aerial photos for more than 50 years, identified several strong candidates, including the mounds that have been piled up around the sides of the relief holder, the large, circular tank closest to the plant building. A monitoring well on the edge of that holder has recorded the highest levels of contamination of all monitoring wells on the property, exceeded only by levels recorded at the other tank, the main holder, when it was excavated in late 2012. Hatheway says that, based on aerial photos from the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, other possible candidates for the dump site include the property directly east of the gas plant and an open area on the same block as the gasworks, directly north of the two holders. The photos also show that a rail

per cubic foot, much superior to coal gas alone. Carburetted water gas plants were generally made up of a brick-lined, cylindrical, steel vessel along with a generator, a carburetter and a superheater. In this process the coal was distilled in the generator to create the original gaseous product. The gas was then drawn from the generator and pushed through a carburetor, where the oil was introduced into the vapor. This oil-gas mixture then made its way into the superheater. While in the superheater, the oil became thermally cracked and “fixed,” meaning it was completely mixed and bonded with the coal gas. From the superheater, the water gas, as with the coal gas, was forced through sealed towers or wash boxes, where it was cooled to allow some of the coal tar wastes to settle out of the gas. The gas was then passed through one or more

the country? According to the EPA, the following are the six major classes of chemical constituents typically present at town gas sites: polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs); light (volatile) aromatics; phenolics; inorganic nitrogen; inorganic sulfur; and selected heavy metals. According to the EPA, coal tars, from both the coal carbonization and the carburetted water gas processes, are complex mixtures of organic chemicals. The following are the two major classes of chemical compounds found in coal tar and are the focus of most town gas site investigations and cleanups. The first class of contaminants is comprised of volatile organics, characterized by benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene, which are identified by their initials as the BTEX compounds.

which accounts for much of the contamination left behind at town gas sites, the coal would have been less reliable to burn and also poisonous to breathe. Once washed and cleaned, the gas was passed through the gasometer that measured it and then on to the holder (the large round tank-looking objects in photos), where it was stored until it went to the customer by way of the company’s pipelines. The carburetted water gas process used at the Boulder plant was slightly different than coal carbonization and was considered superior because it created better burning gas. This process basically enriched coal gas by injecting oil into a vessel containing heated water, which transformed the coal gas into what was known as water gas or blue gas. Because the oil and vapor combined, the water gas had a thermal content of approximately 300 to 350 BTU 14 June 6, 2013

condensers, where impurities such as cyanide, lead, arsenic, ammonia and hydrogen sulfide were removed. Then, the gas was passed through a scrubber, which pushed the gas through water so that still more impurities were taken out. What this carburetted water gas process means for those now charged with cleaning up the 13th Street site is that the contaminants in play are waste products derived from both coal and petroleum. One more unfortunate thing about carburetted water gas plants is that they required a second holder known as a “relief holder.” And it is this second holder that can be the real beast when it comes to contamination onsite and in migrating groundwater (See ‘Relief holder’ section, page 16). So what exactly are the contaminants of concern at the 13th Street site and other former town gas sites around

See CONTAMINATION Page 17

Boulder Weekly

‘Relief holder’ may be the biggest problem of all at former town gas site “Gas holders are typically the most contaminated structures on former [manufactured gas plant] sites. Water seal holders often accumulated large quantities of tar, especially in relief holders, where freshly manufactured gas was held and cooled prior to purification. Much of the tar held in these holders eventually leaked out the bottom. Furthermore, when MGPs ceased operations, it was a common practice to bulldoze the debris from the MGP plant buildings into the circular foundation of the water-seal holders. It is common to find tar-soaked demolition debris in these holder foundations today, decades after the plants closed down.” —New York State Department of Environmental Conservation

ne of the biggest problems associated with carburetted water gas plants, such as the one that operated on the property where the Dushanbe Teahouse now stands, was the need for a relief holder, a second large round tank-like structure for storing large quantities of gas (see illustration). First, according to a white paper titled “A profile of Water Gas Plants, their history, design, development, application and the type of contaminants which may be associated with them” by Dr. Russell Thomas, technical director of Parsons Brinckerhoff Ltd., relief holders were used to smooth out the uneven flow of the gas production process of water gas plants. This meant that as soon as gas was created, it went very quickly into the relief holder before any cleaning of the gas took place. The gas in the holder tended to cool, which allowed many of the gas’s nastiest contaminants to settle to the bottom of the relief holder, before the relief holder was eventually used to push the gas out and through the various scrubbers and purifiers that removed the remaining contaminants prior to moving the clean gas on to the larger holder that was used to store and push gas

through the pipeline system to the customer. Relief Holder Some relief holders were built with subsurface water-seal pit tanks made of brick and often without bottoms. The tanks needed water in them to maintain their seal for sucking and pushing purposes, as the top Condensers/purifiers of the tank went up and down like a (previously unidentified piston. Many of the tanks extended on city diagram) 15 to 20 feet below the surface, well below groundwater levels, and because they were often brick and/or bottomless, they began contaminating the groundwater as soon as they went into service. Boulder Weekly asked Allen Hatheway, one of the nation’s leading experts on town gas sites, to examine photos of the 13th Street site’s relief holder and offer his opinion on its condition and what we might expect This electromagnetic survey shows where metal underground elements like pipes and oil to be found during remediation. tanks are in relation to the teahouse, in addition to the former location of the two holders.

line ran next to the property, raising the possibility that waste materials could have been hauled by train to any of a number of known dumping sites, from the kids fishing pond at Ninth Street and Canyon Boulevard to Valmont Butte — near where Public Service Co. built a coal-fired generation plant in the 1920s, the same time it took over majority ownership of the Federal Gas Company. Hatheway says the location of the disposal site would be documented in the archives of the Public Service Co., which has surely preserved all of its historic maps and files. “Gas companies do not destroy their archives,” he told Boulder Weekly. “The drawings and documents held there in are essential to the safe and economical planning and conduct of gas distribution to the public.” According to Hatheway, a former 16 June 6, 2013

Public Service employee told him that the company maintains a huge historical archive. “If they tell you they don’t have any, it’s a bald-faced public relations lie,” he says. Michelle Aguayo, a spokesperson for Xcel, the company that now owns Public Service, was still looking into the matter as of press time.

The culprits Evidence of a gas plant’s dump site can linger for decades. Hatheway cites a case in Champagne, Ill., in which a low-income neighborhood located at a former gasworks property experienced high cancer rates and had a 150-square-foot patch of land where no vegetation would grow. Hatheway says Boulder’s gas plant would have dumped a variety of hazardous materials at its disposal site.

Residuals included wastewater, or “gas liquor,” light tar oils and broken ceramic bricks that fractured regularly when subjected to the high temperatures employed in the gasification process, he explains. The dump would have likely also received waste material from the purifying process, such as cyanide, sulfur and tiny tar particles. In addition, Hatheway says, the gasification process produced “lampblack,” a powdered black carbon. When asked for his impressions about how the City of Boulder is handling the cleanup, he expressed concerns about the quality of the USA Environment report, and he was critical of the voluntary clean-up (VCUP) process that the city plans to use to remediate the site. The VCUP process, which the city also employed at the controversial Valmont Butte site, is an arrangement

between the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and the Environmental Protection Agency that permits parties to perform their own remediation of contaminated sites when they aren’t serious enough to qualify for the Superfund National Priorities List. According to a memorandum of agreement between the CDPHE and EPA, the VCUP is encouraged “due to limited resources, the need to prioritize sites and the need to expedite cleanup action” in cases where facilities are being transferred, redeveloped or reused. The VCUP “is tasked to operate quickly and with a minimum of administrative processes and cost,” the agreement states. Officials from the CDPHE, the city and Xcel have denied that the See EXPERTS Page 18

news CONTAMINATION from Page 14

referred to as the “dirty 17” by those in the business of cleaning up contamination. These 17 contaminants are recognized by the EPA as priority pollutants, and their presence is commonly used to evaluate levels of PAH contamination. The dirty 17 contaminants are acenaphthene, acenaphthylene, anthracene, benzo(a)anthracene, benzo(a)pyrene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(g,h,i)perylene, benzo(k)fluoranthene, dibenzo(a,h) anthracene., chrysene, fluoranthene, fluorine, indeno(1,2,3-cd) pyrene, 2-methylnaphthalene, naphthalene, phenanthrene and pyrene. Each of the italicized PAHs in the above list are classified by the EPA as probable human carcinogens that are capable of causing cancer and other serious health issues in humans and animals. These carcinogens associated with town gas sites are often referred to as cPAHs. According to the EPA and New York Department of Health and Environment, most of the PAH compounds do not readily dissolve in water, so as a rule, they are not as easily transported in groundwater as the BTEX compounds are. There is, however, one exception to this rule, naphthalene, which can move relatively quickly in groundwater. Most of the PAHs, again, unlike the BTEX compounds, do not readily volatilize in the environment, so they are not as readily transported as soil gas. However, despite low solubility and volatility, PAHs, including cPAHs, may still migrate significant distances, because mobile tars or emulsions may move through the subsurface. All of the BTEX and PAHs contaminants listed above have been tested for at the 13th Street location where the

teahouse now resides. Nearly all are present in measurable quantities, some incredibly high, as reported in the first installment in this series. It should also be noted that the monitoring wells, which were installed to keep track of groundwater contamination associated with an earlier toxic spill at a dry cleaner some 300 feet to the southeast of the old gas site (see Part 1 of this series in Boulder Weekly, May 16, for more details on the dry cleaner site), have detected all of the BTEX compounds as well as naphthalene in the groundwater. The environmental consultant working the dry cleaner site believes that these contaminants originated from the town gas site. The city denies this offsite contamination is from the teahouse location, even though the EPA has stated that there are no other possible sources for this particular contamination footprint in the area. As noted earlier, in addition to the BTEX and PAHs contaminants, the EPA also states that heavy metals and complex cyanides are a major contamination concern at town gas sites. These contaminants include cyanide, arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium and lead. These pollutants do not break down and will remain in the soil until they are leached or transported offsite by groundwater. The 13th Street town gas site has not been tested for these contaminants to date, nor has the dry cleaner site been tested for these pollutants. Such further testing could help to determine conclusively the source of various contaminants in the area — and the extent and direction to which they are migrating.

EXPERTS from Page 16

VCUP is a way to fast-track cleanups on the cheap, to avoid cumbersome and expensive EPA procedures as well as limit the EPA’s ability to require additional cleanup in the future. But Hatheway says VCUPs around the country have repeatedly been proven to be ineffective. “You put the fox in charge of the chicken coop, and if the fox doesn’t eat the chicken, it will take as long as possible to do anything,” he says. “The world’s largest environmental parking lot is the VCUP. It’s shameful. … What they always want is that the public accepts all responsibility.” And just because the EPA granted the site a “no further remedial action planned” ruling in 1997 doesn’t mean

the property poses no health threats, it just means it did not meet the high threshold of being eligible for the National Priorities List. “It does not mean it’s safe,” he says. According to Hatheway, it would be “a really draconian escape from the reality of social responsibility” to just clean around the teahouse, because it will be impossible to properly remediate the site unless the building is relocated, at least temporarily. “The teahouse should be carefully disassembled and moved to safe ground,” he concludes. In the a future installment, BW will explore how the site was chosen for the teahouse, even after news of the contamination came to light. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com Boulder Weekly

able to support agriculture. Climate change may dramatically affect the lives of the next generation, he says, and he notices that when he talks to younger audiences, he pulls his punches slightly. The solution 15,000 years ago was to migrate, but with 7 billion people on the planet, he says, that isn’t an option. “The prognosis is bleak and it looks very painful and very deadly to all species of animals, not excepting the twolegged variety,” he says. The inspiration for his work starts just behind his home about 30 miles north of Yellowstone Park, where warmer winters have allowed for an explosion in the white bark pine beetle population in the past six years. The mountain ranges have turned from green to red in beetle kill — and pine nuts are the single most important food for Yellowstone-area grizzlies he’s studied for decades, he says. “I’ve been saying for 40 years the fates of men and bears are mingled — and not quite flippantly, either,” Peacock says. “So that was a big red flag for me.” The bears he’s spent most of four decades studying, grizzlies, will have few places to go — and though the species has been extirpated in Colorado since 1979, with rumored sightings as recent as 2006 and promising evidence from a study Peacock himself led in the ’90s, Colorado’s high mountains may provide some of the better remaining habitat for grizzlies, or wolverines and wolves, which are also extirpated in Colorado. “The bottom line is human tolerance,” he says. “Humans got to quit killing those animals, and that’s why they never get very far. One agency or another or just individuals shoot them out of fear, ignorance, hatred. It’s really beyond irrational, at least it is up here.” Those animals need to be around just like wilderness areas need to be around, he says, as a necessary part of

feet of me and reached forward and sort of sniffed my pant leg, then turned around and ran away.” His approach now is to travel quietly unless he thinks he runs the risk of surprising a bear, particularly one napping, then he’ll make noise — cough, or sing softly. “I used to say, you know, it’s OK, you can sing softly, but whatever you do, never sing country western,” he says, and laughs. “I don’t know, I might have been joking, but maybe not. I just haven’t tested — I don’t have the data yet.” That he met Edward Abbey right about the time he came back from Vietnam was no accident either, he says. He returned from war and saw the Rocky Mountains he turned to for refuge being chewed up by mines, clear cutting and development as the destruction of a homeland. It’s a battle now to save what’s left of them. “I tended to regard defense of that homeland very militantly. I still do,” he says. “I think it’s that important. I think if we lose these places, I think we’ve lost ourselves, not just our souls but I think we’ll lose our physical existence on earth. It’s that important and I will fight it like a war. It’s the most important thing I do. It’s a cause I’d die for.” Climate change should be the main focus for environmental activists now. Among the conclusions he reaches in his new book, he says, is “in lieu of other action, maybe the best thing you can do to fight for a future for yourself and your kind and the creatures around you is fight for wilderness. Fight for saving wild habitats in any size or form. Anything that smells like wilderness is close enough.” Doug Peacock: Grizzlies, Wilderness and War, a talk and book signing, will take place at 7 p.m. Thursday, June 13, at Chautauqua Auditorium, 900 Baseline Road.

f you look west from Foothills Parkway at just the right moment you’ll notice a building that looks like an oversized irrigation pipe made of concrete. Tucked into an unassuming block on Pearl Parkway — you wouldn’t know unless you investigated — is Front Range Boxing Academy. The out-of-the-way location and rugged appearance create a mystique that blends with a charming grittiness upon entering. It’s easy to imagine late-night sparring followed by jubilant shoulder pats and sparkly eyed reminiscing. And Dave Gaudette, owner and former boxing champion, has much to reminisce about — his segue from priesthood to boxer, the road to opening his own facility and the life lessons he’s learned in the boxing world and now imparts to his students. “A seasoned boxer would rather break bones than throw in the towel,”

with how to deal with your demons.” Gaudette came to boxing after making the decision to leave his religious high school, where he was studying to become a priest. It was under the tutelage of the Petronelli brothers, famed boxing managers and trainers, that he discovered his passion for the sport. He began training unbeknownst to his parents, who never quite got on board with his newfound love and despised their teenage son turning up to dinner with black eyes. For someone tending toward the cerebral — hence the initial draw to religious studies — boxing offered a stark physical reality. “Boxing forces you to be in the moment. When your heart is pounding and your lungs are pumping, you’re in shape, but it’s still painful to some extent,” Gaudette says. “It puts you in touch with your body, which is especial-

attention. Valmont Bike Park is a perfect place to start and has partnered with Avid 4 Adventure to offer five-day skills camps (ages 7-16) and private instruction on features ranging from extra small to extra large. Private and group lessons are available starting at $195. Check www.avid4.com for more information. Community Cycles and Boulder Mountainbike Alliance are also hosting a beginners trail ride on June 15 at noon, starting from their shop at 2805 Wilderness Place in Boulder. The ride will take the Eagle/ Sage loop near the Boulder Reservoir and an out-and-back to Lefthand Valley Reservoir. Details are at www. communitycycles.org. When you’re ready to strike out on your own and begin honing your skills, there’s no better place to start than Marshall Mesa in South Boulder. The Dirty Bismark loop is 17 miles made up of nine easy trails easily accessible from nearby roads, just in case you need a pick-up or assistance from your support crew (thanks, Mom). When you’re ready to test those skills on a singletrack trail, the Betasso Preserve has two three-mile-plus loop trails and links to the Boulder Creek Path and Fourmile Canyon. Biking up from Boulder can be a challenge. Thankfully, there’s a parking lot near the loop for easy access. There’s no biking at Betasso Wednesdays and Saturdays and the trail is narrow enough that travel is restricted to one direction each week, so pay careful attention to the signs. Looking to up the ante? West Magnolia Trailhead in Nederland offers easy access to the intermediate and advanced Dot trails, including the Lollipop Loop and Star Wars trail. Watch out for undesignated trails, as riding illegally can result in big fines and bad crashes. Just outside of Boulder, Lyons offers access to Hall Ranch and the Nelson Loop, a technically challenging trail system that will make you earn that post-ride Oskar Blues beer. If you want to start slowly, take the Antelope trail in to enjoy the great scenery with a less strenuous challenge. For more information about places to ride, the Boulder Mountainbike Alliance, found at www.bouldermountainbike.org, has trail ratings from one to 10 for trails in the Boulder area based on technical difficulty, aerobic difficulty and coolness factor. They also offer organized rides so like-minded riders can find some offroad company. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com Boulder Weekly

What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger Colorado Shakespeare Festival seeks to remain timeless by Michael Callahan

A Midsummer Night’s Dream kicks off the Colorado Shakespeare Festival’s 2013 season. From left, Taylor Fisher as Helena, Sammie Joe Kinnett as Demetrius, Sean Scrutchins as Lysander and Jenna Bainbridge as Hermia.

fter a winter spent rearranging house, the Colorado Shakespeare Festival is ready to defend its position as cultural and educational touchstone. The 2013 edition has sprinted ahead of expectations and appears on tap for a successful start to the season. It may not be a make-or-break year, but plenty of eyes will be on the CSF as it unfurls its latest repertoire. “I can take very little credit for the way things are currently going,” says Timothy Orr, interim producing artistic director of the CSF. “It’s a great team between production, artistic, marketing and fundraising. We are Boulder Weekly

all on the same page and working really well together.” Orr may be trying to deflect credit for increased web traffic and ticket sales versus last year at this time, but since taking over for departing artistic director Philip Sneed after planning for this year’s festival had already begun, he has emerged as a steadying force for the enterprise. A recent rehearsal for 2013 CSF opener A Midsummer Night’s Dream reveals that everyone involved seems to relish bringing the Bard to Boulder. see CSF Page 30

t’s hard to find a good corned beef sandwich in Boulder, especially now that the Jimmy and Drew’s deli has moved their Katz Deli-style restaurant to the heart of Denver. But have no fear, beef lovers, because the Boulder Jewish Festival is here on June 9, offering live music, traditional Jewish food and art, and an all-day celebration at the Boulder Courthouse lawn and Pearl Street Mall in honor of the thriving Jewish community in Boulder and the entire city. “The Jewish Festival is really a big thing for the community,” says Cheryl Fellows, the executive director of Boulder Jewish News and one of the main volunteer coordinators of the event. “It’s a perfect “I Am Grateful,” by Risa Aqua example of how the Jewish organizations in The 2007 Metro-Boulder Jewish our community work together, and the Community Study shows that there festival itself is such a great expression were around 50,000 Jewish households of how our community supports each and 85,000 Jewish adults in the other.” Denver-Boulder area.

ON THE BILL: The Boulder Jewish Festival takes place on Sunday, June 9, on the Boulder Courthouse lawn and Pearl Street Mall. Festivities start at 11 a.m. For more information, visit www. boulderjewishfestival.org.

One of the headlining musical groups, which will be playing at 2 p.m. on June 9, is Sababa, which includes Denver native Steve Brodsky, who has played the Boulder Jewish Festival with various groups for 13 years. Brodsky says that the center stage of the festival attracts a lot of people that would have otherwise not have known about the Jewish Festival. “The festival has grown to be quite big,” Brodsky says. “I always get a kick out of how people are just walking down the mall on a Sunday afternoon and hear something that catches their ear, and then later someone always come up to me afterwards and says, ‘Oh, I’m Jewish and I didn’t even know this was happening. What is this, who are you guys?’ And they just kind of wander along and stumble upon the festival and find a connection.” These connections that are made at the festival are the heart of what the Jewish Festival is all about, according to Lev. “There are some significant things happening within the Boulder Jewish community that aren’t happening anywhere else in the country,” says Lev, referring to the festival and other opportunities the Boulder Jewish community offers. “The heart of the Jewish Festival is giving an opportunity to connect, exchange ideas and have fun together in a completely open environment without any baggage. Come, be yourself, be part of this, learn new things, eat some food and have fun while you’re doing it.” To learn more about every musician, artist and many more details about the 2013 Boulder Jewish Festival download the smartphone application by going to my.yapp.us/boulderjfest.

The point of the piece is to go in an outdoor space and bring people in.” Lewin comes from a gene pool of artists, inventors and engineers. She realized in her early 20s while studying at CU that it was possible to combine it all. After growing up in a communal environment in Maui, she says, it was her natural inclination and desire to create pieces to return people to a sense of community. And her visions are not limited to engaging groups in a single space, or even country. “My hope is to put them on the same time zone and put them in two different communities that don’t normally have public art. We can do infinite things with the data, like, you can create a situation where if someone is playing on one pool it’s represented in the other pool.

You can be sitting there and you run across it, and it leaves a trail. And then you’re sitting there and you see that same trail appears in a different color. … That’s someone in Singapore.

There is something interesting to me about the high-tech with this hand-made quality.” Whether at a festival or in a traditional museum, her playful sculptures leave many participants mesmerized. “To see lights move and interact with your body is otherworldly,” says Victoria Olsen, an art patron attending the opening. “We are so used to reacting to technology and controlling it, so to see it as part of an artistic movement is unique. I have a reaction I don’t get with other visual art because when I’m in a position of interacting it feels like I am the artist.” Lewin’s current exhibit, It’s Electric, will run until July 27 at the CU Art Museum.

Boulder Weekly: You guys have all known each other since your college days at Notre Dame, and since you guys know each other so well I was wondering what are some funny things about the side of Umphrey’s that we don’t really know about? Joel Cummins: Well, one of the most well-known things is that [guitarist/vocalist] Brendan [Bayliss] loves to bust my balls on stage, and I really want to let all the fans know that he gets it back at least in double if not triple off the stage from me, so that’s We’re going back into the studio kind of nice. right after the Colorado shows for a One fun thing that people probably week to record material for the next don’t know is that we have a fantasy release, and it’s been so evident in the football league together with the band studio lately that we all understand and crew members, so once fall comes what it’s going to take to get a good around there’s definitely an uptick in recording of a song. Everybody is the amount of shit talklocked in and focused but ing that happens, which having fun with it. is always a lot of fun. Everyone loves it ON THE BILL: Umphrey’s McGee What kinds of when you cover another plays Red Rocks moments in your life band’s song and put your Amphitheatre on inspire you to create a own spin on it.

by Joe Wirth a portal to getting someone’s attention that we may not have had previously. I think there’s kind of a comfort zone that we find with the covers like when everyone jumps into a song like The Who’s “Baba O’Riley,” which is a universally known song. There’s something really cool to see the audience explode in recognition of that. How does the atmosphere of a big venue like Red Rocks, and the crowd that fills those venues, inspire you? It’s always been my favorite outdoor venue we’ve ever played, and there’s such an inherent energy there. So the minute you step on that stage, you feel it. I really feel like last year was the first year that we were able to completely harness it, and all of a sudden, Red Rocks felt like a 500-person room. You realize more than anywhere else that you just have to go for it and take something to the next level there,

and I feel the energy is so much more apparent than in most venues so you have something to build steam off of when you feel the crowd getting into it like that. So you’ll do the big show at Red Rocks, but then the small venue at Chautauqua Auditorium the next day. What can we expect from Umphrey’s debut at Chautauqua? The fun thing about doing this show after Red Rocks is that the pressure is kind of off, and everyone that’s there is going to be so amped to be there in this small environment. I think you’ll see things get a little loose, maybe even get a little silly. Colorado crowds are just always the best, there’s really not a better musicloving state than Colorado. People just get it there, and that just makes us more confident to be able to try new things. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com LIKE US!

Saturday, June 8 Dead Floyd — With Dr. Phil Good. 8:30 p.m. Fox Theatre, 1135 13th St., Boulder, 303-443-3399. Fort Collins-based Dead Floyd returns to the Fox Theatre on June 8, bringing their high-energy blend of two of rock’s greatest bands back to Boulder’s nightlife. Because Dead Floyd has such an abundance of legendary songs to choose from, there is no telling what kind of show they will play, but their creativity and mash-ups, mixing songs like “St. Stephen” and “Brain Damage,” will sure to be to the Boulder Deadhead’s liking. Guitarist Charlie Humphreys sings like Bob Weir and has the “twang” of Jerry Garcia, while bassist Josh Miller has the young, Live at Pompeii voice of David Gilmore. Together, Dead Floyd takes the audience on a long, strange trip, switching back and forth from tracks off of some of the best albums ever made, and after more than 1,000 shows these guys are worth much more than $12 to see in the flesh. — Joseph Wirth

For the past few years, Caffe Sole transforms several nights a week from an unassuming coffee shop into a jazz bar, complete with wine on tap and finger-snapping patrons with black turtlenecks and goatees. OK, so we have yet to see someone snap instead of applaud at Caffe Sole. But the talent coming through Caffe Sole usually exceeds what you’d expect from a coffee shop in sleepy South Boulder. Take Ryan Seward, for example. The drummer studied composition with pianist Dan Cavanagh and is working on his master’s degree in composition, improvisation and technology. He and his quartet — Tyler Farr (alto sax), Adam Revell (piano/keyboards) and Jean-Luc David (bass) — will be playing a selection of originals and standards. And it’s free, too. So get there early and grab a table and a glass of wine and enjoy the sounds. — David Accomazzo

‘Love Is All You Need’ if you have Pierce Brosnan

Rated AV Preeminent by Martindale-Hubbell

720-260-7392

by Ryan Syrek

et’s be honest, Love Is All You Need (or Den Skaldede Frisør if Danish is more than a donut to you) is basically redundant escapist fantasy. But when the fantasy services the desires of middled aged women struggling with uncompassionate husbands and cancer and not hormonal, heterosexual male teenagers d (as most movies seem intent to service), it scores a free pass on originality. Writer/director Susanne Bier’s latest is destined to be remade into a domestic Diane Keaton vehicle. But until then, feel free to enjoy the splendid performance of Trine Dyrholm as Ida, a woman who finishes her chemo treatments just in time to see her louse husband, Leif (Kim Bodnia), stickin’ it to his accountant, Thilde (Christiane Schaumburg-Müller). Thilde is every cancer-stricken, hairless, mastectomysurviving, faithful wife’s worst nightmare: a healthy and beautiful version of zher younger self. She’s the devil in booty shorts. Because all crises occur immediately surrounding a family gathering, Leif and Ida’s daughter, Astrid (Molly Blixt Egelind), is getting married in Italy that weekend. Or at least she’s supposed to marry Patrick (Sebastian Jessen), who has an Elton John-sized secret hidden just about as well as the crocodile rocker’s was. Thankfully, Patrick’s dad, Phillip (Pierce Brosnan), is the widower of which dreams are made. He’s a wealthy silver fox and devoted father who only cares about what’s inside a woman’s heart. He’s every bit as plausible as any role Megan Fox has ever played and should be afforded no more scrutiny. Anders Thomas Jensen’s script can be forgiven for serving Brosnan on a Boulder Weekly

platter to Dyrholm, especially because the actress exudes holistic, raw beauty. What it struggles with is both tone and subplot. It’s melodramatic moments fail to mesh with its rom-com moments, leaving audience members unsure how to handle characters like Leif, who is at once soulless vermin and comic relief. And the “B” plot, involving Astrid and Patrick, tastes like pure asphalt given the surface-level attention it is given. Watching a vibrant young woman’s heart break at having fallen for a closeted homosexual is nearly as depressing as watching a closeted homosexual deny himself for the sake of his loving father’s supposed happiness. And this is primarily a comedy? But the core, Ida’s story, is blissful daydreaming. Her intelligent, kind and curvaceous 50-something wife/mother is seen for the modern-day marvel she is by a man who possesses the external qualities (flowing hair) and internal qualities (superior listening abilities) that comprise stereotypical fantasizing for women in that demographic. It helps that Dyrholm’s performance transcends language, with heart-racing flirtation and gut-wrenching fears of mortality. Love Is All You Need is an endearing reminder that escapism is not relegated to boys who dream of car chases and big-chested ladies. It is a sweet, somewhat flawed, exploration of what women “of a certain age” want. And considering how rare it is for such silver-haired visions to ever reach the silver screen, it is a recommendation easily made. —This review first appeared in The Reader of Omaha, Neb.

usiness is booming in the organic food sector. Since 2004, sales of organic food have increased 150 percent, from $12 billion to a projected $30 billion in 2013, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. One additional factor that is not included in this number, though, is the sale of “natural” foods. And there’s some evidence that consumers actually prefer the “natural” label to the more specific “organic.” A survey conducted in 2010 by the Hartman Group, a research group based in Bellevue, Wash., found that shoppers valued products being “natural” over being organic. Sixty-nine percent of consumers believed that products labeled as “natural” were free from both pesticides and herbicides, while 63 percent believed that they were free from genetic modification. Other studies indicate shoppers consider “natural” labels to be more important to them than “organic” labels. When Congress passed the Organic Foods Production Act under Title 21 of the 1990 Farm Bill, the term “organic” was given a specific definition in the food business. Until recently, though, “natural” did not have a legal definition. With a vague USDA definition of having “no artificial ingredients and is minimally processed,” “natural foods” have become very popular, but figures for their actual scale of growth are unavailable. The vague definition of “natural” is not the only issue, though. The USDA does not police that definition heavily, so manufacturers and producers

than conventional foods, and even sometimes higher than organic foods. “Natural” or “all natural” granola was as much as 30 cents per ounce more expensive than organic options or options with no claim at all. Despite the importance of the term in consumers’ eyes, Nelson says the actual definition is nebulous. In her CU classes, she says, many students say they buy “natural” products solely for the label, but there is �� c�� onfusion regarding the definition. “I always make the joke in class that the table is natural, I’m natural and so is this bread,” Nelson says. “We say that and students say, ‘Well, I always buy foods that say 100 percent natural.’ It sounds like a good word, but it’s costing us financially when we buy into that.” Nelson says her students were not aware of the vague definition for “natural.” She suggests that there is a psychological reason for her students buying into the use of the word “natural.” “We all like that word,” Nelson says. “There is 100 percent natural cereal. It sounds good.” Even natural/organic groceries stores aren’t clear on what natural means to them and their customers. Evan Bushnell, assistant store manager of Natural Grocer by Vitamin Cottage, says that customers have varying ideas of what it means for food to be natural. “Some people think one thing and some people think another thing,” Bushnell. “They have their own idea. There’s no clear definition.”

Natural foods: Who knows what your food actually is? by Patrick Fort may use “natural” without having to be checked by the USDA on their claims the first time around. Only after products hit the shelves may the companies be prosecuted, whereas other products must be tested prior to hitting store shelves. Suzanne Nelson, an instructor at the University of Colorado Boulder, teaches classes about nutrition in the school’s integrated physiology department. She says that consumers�� are �� willing to pay more for products that are labeled as “natural.” “Consumers will pay approximately 10 cents more for a product if it says ‘natural’ on it,” Nelson says, referring a previous study. In fact, the price differences could be even more than her estimation. A 2011 study by the Cornucopia Institute found “natural” foods are often priced higher

Nelson uses cereal as an example of how food labeling legally works. “[Companies] can’t say it lowers cholesterol until we have proof that it does,” Nelson says. “There is a really rigorous testing process to make sure that Cheerios actually lower cholesterol due to their fiber content.” But, she says, there’s no comparably rigorous test for whether a food is “nat� ural.” Bushnell agrees with Nelson regarding the confusion about the definition of the term. “I don’t understand the word ‘natural’ because it doesn’t really mean anything,” Bushnell says. Although the USDA’s definition of the term “natural” is vague, the federal agency has in the past stopped compa� nies from placing it on food labels when they deem its usage to be untruthful or misleading. Kelli McGannon, a spokeswoman for King Soopers grocery stores, says the company tries�� to be as fair to cus� tomers as possible when it advertises foods as “natural.” “Our approach is that we obviously try to be very transparent to our cus� tomers and to carefully identify things that we label as organic and natural as a message that customers can trust,” McGannon says. McGannon says that the grocery chain �� is�� not in control of �� what its sup� pliers put on their packaging. King Soopers stores do what they can to control the prices of their organic and natural products, McGannon says. “Obviously there are things that drive the cost of an item: Is it sourced 52 June 6, 2013

locally, can we source it locally, or the cost of the ingredients,” McGannon says. “Like all of the products in our stores, not just our organic and natural products, we try to be as competitive as possible.” George Frushour, produce and floral merchandiser for King Soopers and City Market, says that the stores try to stock what their customers are buying. “The customer comments that we get on a weekly basis — we get recaps from every single store — [requests] for organics is one of the number one requests that we get,” Frushour says. “We are always looking to source more organics and what is important to [the customers].” Each King Soopers and City Market store receives multiple requests per week from customers asking for more and more organic and natural products, says Frushour, further validating the studies of the Hartman Group. Natural Grocer stocks foods that it sees as “high quality and contain no artificial colors” among other things, says Bushnell. In the end, even as grocery stores themselves wrestle with the definition of “natural,” Bushnell arguest that Natural Grocer's products meet a higher standard — although there still isn't a lot of clarity. “We don’t have the brands the Safeway and King Soopers have,” Bushnell says. “We have what our company has deemed to be a healthy alternative.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com Boulder Weekly

beer tour

A walk in the Woods Wild Woods brewery simulates the great outdoors by Steve Weishampel

e aren’t quite done yet, but it’s hard not to think of Wild Woods Brewery as dessert. Yes, the Boulder County Beer Tour is nearing its end, with only Nederland’s two breweries and one or two new taprooms left to visit. The staff here is toying with ideas like revisiting each brewery to see what they’ve tapped for summer, or making trips beyond county lines to tip off Boulderites about lesser-known spots like Arvada Beer Elizabeth Miller Company; Copper Kettle, Strange Brewing and Renegade in Denver; Broomfield’s Big Choice; and a lot more. Ever heard of Beer By Design in Northglenn? See what we mean? But for now, before we make our long-awaited journey to Ned to wrap up Boulder County, we want to have our cake and drink it, too. Not that Wild Woods has cake beer. But it wouldn’t be out of place. Wild Woods does have two of the best dessert beers around: the Ponderosa Porter and the Smores Stout. The husband-and-wife team of Jake and Erin Evans has constructed what might be Boulder’s first “concept brewery” — Joel’s term — by dedicating their beers to recreating the sensations of spending time in the woods. “They’re like The Who with Tommy,” Joel says. Sure, except, a lot less weird. The porter has already earned its praise in our 2013 Best of Boulder publication, where it was among our staff picks for best new beer. It’s a vanilla porter that every fan of dark beer should try. It’s a sweet, pitch-perfect blend of vanilla and roasty undertones. Since Wild Woods doesn’t serve food, you’d better bring your own ice cream for Ponderosa floats. Boulder Weekly

SATURDAY

If you’re a chocolate-over-vanilla kind of person, your ears already perked up at the Smores Stout. Graham cracker base, marshmallow and chocolate: It’s all there. It’s a dense combination of flavors, so we have to suggest a sample or splitting with a friend — this one is a lot to handle for 16 ounces. Given the brewery’s mission to simulate some element of a weekend in the woods with every beer it serves, it should be no surprise that the spot-on flavors don’t stop there. There’s the floral Wildflower Pale Ale, which is like falling facefirst into a high country meadow; the Campfire Red, a hoppy red ale with a solid helping of smokiness; and the strawberry-tinged Berry Patch Wheat. Wild Woods also dedicates two taps to its limitedrelease and seasonal beers. Sadly, the Boulder Weekly staff just missed the release of Wild Woods’ Grapefruit Pale Ale, which Jake Evans says will be the brewery’s summer beer. Instead, we grabbed the Honey Nut Blonde, which Evans says should last through early summer. It’s a toasty, honey-flavored, easy-drinking ale that vaguely reminded me — and only me, it seemed — of a breakfast cereal, with its toasted almonds and honey. Just a year old, Wild Woods is steadily growing, making appearances on guest taps and in liquor stores around the county. And at 4:30 p.m. on a Thursday, it fills up quickly. As we reach the end of the tour, we’re thinking a little about the supposed bubble of new craft breweries, as readers sometimes ask us if the bubble’s going to burst. It doesn’t look that way to us. It looks more like Wild Woods, and breweries like it, are going to step their creativity up and keep bringing beer lovers in. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

by Dan Savage

Dear Dan: I love my husband of 20 years, but our sexual differences are putting a strain on our marriage. Ten years ago, he asked me to talk dirty to him about having sex with other men. It has progressed to him wanting to be a cuckold. I only want to be with him, but he presses the issue by verbalizing cuckold situations during sex. This makes me close my eyes and shut down. By the time he is done, I have no desire to orgasm because I no longer feel attractive. Worse, I feel like I am not enough for him. The only way he can get off is to talk about, think about or hear me talk about having sex with other men. It makes me feel worthless as a sex partner — which is crazy, because I am attractive and open to a great deal of things (toys, games, dressing up, striptease, etc.). I long for him to touch me, kiss me and look at me the way he used to. He is a good father and a good provider, and I love him. But this matter is crushing my self-esteem. I won’t stay much longer if this continues. —Extremely Frustrated Female Experiencing Despair Dear EFFED: Your husband was probably reading cuckolding blogs for years before he worked up the nerve to raise the subject, EFFED, and here’s what he’s gleaned: Husband brings it up, wife shoots it down, husband whines, wife agrees to explore it as fantasy only and then one day — after months or years of dirty talk — wife announces she wants to give it a try. She winds up loving it, she says she regrets waiting so long and husband lives happily ever after in cuckolded bliss. Reading so many cuckolding success stories — many likely fictitious — has left your husband convinced that if he just keeps at it, one day his wife will want to try it. (Some wives do try it and like it. I got a letter from a woman who’s angry that her husband — after years of dirty talk and a half-dozen cuckolding experiences — has decided that it isn’t for him after all. He doesn’t want her sleeping with other men; she doesn’t want to go back to sleeping with just him. Dr. Cuckenstein created a monster.) Tell your husband in no uncertain terms that you don’t want to hear about cuckolding anymore. Period. He is free to think about whatever he wants to during sex — we all are — but he has to keep his cuckolding fantasies to himself. Wrap up the convo by informing him that from now on, your sex sessions end the moment the subject of you sleeping with other men is raised. No more closing your eyes and waiting for him to finish. (And what kind of ass-

hole can finish under those circumstances?) If he brings up other men, EFFED, get off the bed, get out of the bedroom and go to the kitchen and have some ice cream. Your husband needs to find a new erotic script that works for you both. The incentive for him: Since you are open to many things — toys, games, dressing up — a fantasy scenario that turns you on is likely to become a reality scenario pretty quickly. Finally, EFFED, cuckolds don’t see their wives as unattractive. Cuckolds see their wives as so desirable — and so insatiable — that they’re incapable of giving their wives all of the sexual attention they deserve. But I can see why you’re upset. You want sex to be about the two of you, about the intimacy you share (or used to share), and your inconsiderate husband is always running his mouth about people who aren’t in the room. It’s understandable that you would feel like you’re not enough for him after 10 years of this bullshit. But your husband’s cuckolding fantasies don’t mean he finds you unattractive — they mean the exact opposite. Dear Dan: I am a 28-year-old married straight male. I have a lot of confusion regarding my sexual orientation and gender identity, and I am in therapy. My question for you is about my current self-pleasuring routine. I get high and watch “sissy self-hypnosis” videos. These videos consist of text, pictures and subliminal suggestions aimed at hypnotizing straight males into some kind of “mind control” sex slavery. Some are about cuckolding and femdom; some are about being brainwashed into sucking cock. It is all done in a really amateurish and (hopefully) ineffective way. Am I destroying my brain? —Man Wondering About Hypnosis Dear MWAH: These videos sound like a harmless way for an otherwise healthy, stable straight guy to fantasize about ceding his power and privilege to people the culture taught him to regard as weak and inferior, i.e., women and fags. That said, MWAH, it doesn’t sound like you’re an otherwise healthy, stable straight guy. You’re confused about your sexual orientation and gender identity and you’re working on those issues with a shrink. That being the case, MWAH, I think you might wanna avoid these videos for the time being. Send your questions to mail@savagelove.net, and follow Dan on Twitter @ fakedansavage.

GEMINI

MAY 21-JUNE 20:

OCT. 23-NOV. 21:

SAGITTARIUS NOV. 22-DEC. 21:

How free do you want to be, Gemini? A tiny bit free, hemmed in by comfortable complications that require you to rely on white lies? Or would you rather be moderately free in ways that aren’t too demanding — politely, sensibly free? Maybe you feel brave and strong enough to flirt with a breathtaking version of liberation — a pure, naked freedom that brings you close to the edge of wild abandon and asks you to exercise more responsibility than you’re used to. I’m not telling you which kind you should opt for, but I am suggesting that it’s best if you do make a conscious choice.

Octavio Paz spoke to a lover in his poem “Counterparts”: “In my body you search the mountain for the sun buried in its forest. In your body I search for the boat adrift in the middle of the night.” What have you searched for in the bodies of your lovers, Sagittarius? What mysteries and riddles have you explored while immersed in their depths? How has making love helped you to better understand the meaning of life? I invite you to ruminate on these uncanny joys. Remember the breakthroughs that have come your way thanks to sex. Exult in the spiritual education you have received through your dealings with lust and sensuality. And then go out and stir up some fresh epiphanies.

CANCER

CAPRICORN

In August 1961, the Communist government of East Germany built the Berlin Wall. It was a thick concrete barrier designed to prevent the oppressed citizens of East Berlin from escaping to freedom in West Berlin. The barrier was eventually policed by armed guards. Traffic between the two Berlins became virtually impossible for the next 28 years. Then a miracle occurred: East German authorities relinquished their stranglehold. They tentatively allowed East Berliners to travel to West Berlin. Soon the Mauerspechte, or “wall woodpeckers,” showed up. Armed with hammers and chisels, these people began chipping away at the Wall. Two years later, most of it had been demolished. I hereby assign you to be a wall woodpecker in your own sphere, Cancer. The time is right to demolish a barricade. It may take a while, but you’re ready to start.

Do you know what minced oaths are? They’re rarely used anymore. If you went back a hundred years, though, you’d hear them regularly. They were sanitized swear words, basically; peculiar exclamations that would allow people the emotional release of profanities without causing a ruckus among those who were listening. “Bejabbers!” was one. So were “thunderation! and “dad-blast!” and “consarn!” Here’s one of my favorite minced oaths: “By St. Boogar and the saints at the backside door of purgatory!” I bring this up, Capricorn, because I suspect it’ll be a minced oath kind of week for you. What I mean is: You’ll have every right to get riled up, and you should express your feelings, but not in ways that create problems for you.

JUNE 21-JULY 22:

LEO

JULY 23-AUG. 22:

The following slogan captures the spirit I bring to composing my horoscopes: “I live in the future so that you don’t have to.” But right now this slogan doesn’t apply to you. From what I can tell, you are currently visiting the future as much as I do. Here’s what I wonder, though: Are you time-traveling simply to run away from the dilemmas that face you in the present? Or are you taking advantage of your jaunts to acquire revelations that will help you solve those dilemmas once you return?

VIRGO

AUG. 23-SEPT. 22:

You know that there are different kinds of stress, right? Some varieties wear you out and demoralize you, while other kinds of stress excite and motivate you. Some lead you away from your long-term goals, and others propel you closer. The coming weeks would be an excellent time for you to fine-tune your ability to distinguish between them. I suspect that the more you cultivate and seek out the good kind, the less susceptible you’ll be to the bad kind.

Boulder Weekly

DEC. 22-JAN. 19:

AQUARIUS

JAN. 20-FEB. 18:

There’s only one correct way to spell the English word “beauty.” But that wasn’t true centuries ago. Before the advent of the printing press, orthographic anarchy prevailed for many words. Some of beauty’s variations included bewte, beaute, beaultye, beuaute, bealte, buute, bewtee, and beaultye. I bring this up, Aquarius, because I think it would be fun and healthy for you to take a respite from having to slavishly obey standardized rules. I’m talking about not just those that apply to spelling, but others, too. See what you can get away with.

PISCES

FEB. 19-MARCH 20:

In the last chapter of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s novel The Brothers Karamazov, the lead character says the following: “There is nothing nobler, stronger, healthier, and more helpful in life than a good remembrance, particularly a remembrance from childhood. A beautiful, holy memory preserved from childhood can be the single most important thing in our development.” I bring this up, Pisces, so as to get you in the right frame of mind for this week’s featured activity: remembrance. One of the greatest gifts you can give yourself is to reminisce about the old days and the old ways. To do so will enhance your physical health and purify your emotional hygiene.

Forget Big Tobacco; Big Marijuana wants to be part of the .bong boom

here has been a persistent rumor, dating back to the 1960s and 1970s, that cigarette companies have been plotting to take over the marijuana industry, were it ever legalized. It’s still around and probably holds on because it doesn’t seem that unreasonable — if they can grow and sell tobacco, they can grow and sell pot, right? “They’ve copyrighted Panama Red.” “They already have warehouses ready to roll.” Would you trust this guy for your premium marijuana needs? “They’re buying farmland already.” I have heard all these and more over the decades. A fascinating post on the website Legends and ments and information against Big Tobacco. (Neither Rumours explains the possible origins of this legend, comes up in an Internet search today.) dating back to a 1969 Business Week article that Rolling Cigarette companies have always insisted that they Stone commented on. Business Week’s sources were are in business to sell tobacco products only. I know more than dubious — the editor of an underground what you’re thinking — who would believe anything a newspaper in Atlanta and a University of Wisconsin cigarette company says? — but the companies’ denial graduate in fine arts who said, “I’ve heard that the is as adamant today as ever, and it does not appear names Acapulco Gold and Tijuana Gold have already that Big Tobacco, at least so far, is planning a move been copyrighted.” into the pot industry. Rolling Stone’s comment on the article, for many That’s not to say that there aren’t thoughts of Big readers, amounted to a tacit endorsement of the infor- Marijuana dancing in entrepreneurs’ heads. Enter mation, and the rumor took hold. The magazine later Jamen Shively, a former Microsoft corporate executive printed a letter with quotes from CEOs of the largest based in Seattle, who announced plans last week to cigarette companies saying they had no plans to enter open national marijuana stores under the Diego the marijuana market, if it were ever to exist, to no Pellicer brand and become for pot what Starbucks has avail. The magazine never did find any trademarked become for coffee. pot names for tobacco companies, either. In interviews since Washington and Colorado The hearsay is still with us. When I mention it to legalized marijuana for adults, Shively, who seems to friends, some have said they heard the same stories be positioning himself as a junior Bill Gates, has been and most believe it. Domain Name Wire reported in spouting off about his aspirations to control 40 per2009 that Altria, the parent company of Phillip cent of what could become a multi-billion dollar Morris USA, filed to contest the domain names annual business. His brand, Diego Pellicer, is conveAltriaMarijuana.com and AltriaCannabis.com. Was niently named after a man who Shively claims was his the company preparing to sell pot? As it turns out, great-grandfather and a major Spanish marijuana Altria filed an arbitration hearing against the owners grower during the Spanish-American War. It will be, of those domains, who had filled them with advertise- he says, like fine cigars or liqueurs. Premium.

This is pretty bold stuff. Marijuana is still considered illegal by the federal government, and though President Obama said that prosecuting people who smoke marijuana in the two states where it’s legal is a low priority, the Justice Department has had no problem with raiding medical marijuana operations when it feels the urge, especially large operations. What caught my eye were some accounts that mentioned Shively is in negotiations with dispensaries in Colorado. That approach would seem to be in conflict with the new Colorado law. I asked Boulder attorneys Leonard Frieling and Jeff Gard, both of whom said that there would be many hurdles for an outsider to surmount before he could create a large marijuana operation here. First and foremost is the very clear regulation that an owner of any marijuana business has to be a resident of Colorado for at least two years. There is no indication Shively has even been to Colorado, let alone was part of the medical marijuana businesses that have been operating here since 2009. Gard said that Shively might be able to invest in companies in Colorado, but he couldn’t be part of the ownership. Amendment 64 is structured in a way that allows those already in the medical cannabis business to have a head start, and gives resident innovators and trailblazers the chance to succeed. As Frieling notes, there’s nothing wrong with large companies like Starbucks, but the spirit of the amendment is to favor the “local microbrew” approach over the “big business” model. I applaud anyone ballsy enough to come up with such a bold plan for market share, but in this case I’m left to wonder whether Diego Pellicer is, like Big Tobacco’s takeover plan, nothing more than a headline-grabbing, well-hyped pipe dream.
