Highroad Let’s adopt the GOP’s national platform by Jim Hightower
Well, I didn’t expect this! The National Republican Party has published an official policy document showing that the GOP really might be more than a gaggle of serve-the-rich plutocrats and wacky, Trumped-up right-wingers. Just when you thought the party was consuming itself in the know-nothingism of its presidential pretenders and the recalcitrant donothingism of its congress critters, out comes a sign of sanity.
In this 18-page manifesto, the party proclaims that, “Our government was created by the people for all the people, and it must serve no less a purpose.” ALL the people! Forget pontifications by Wall Street billionaires dividing America into virtuous “creators” (like themselves) and worthless “moochers” (like you and me) — this document abounds with commitments to the common good. “America does not prosper,” it proudly proclaims on page three, “unless all Americans prosper.” Wow — that’s downright democratic! And how’s this for a complete turnaround: “Labor is the United States. The men and women, who with their minds, their hearts and hands, create the wealth that is shared in this country — they are America.” Holy Koch brothers, share the wealth? Yes, and how about this: “The protection of the right of workers to organize into unions and to bargain

collectively is the firm and permanent policy of the [Republican Party].” Eat your heart out, Scott Walker, and you other labor-bashing GOP governors! The document also supports our public postal service, the United Nations, equal rights for women, expanding our national parks, “vigorous enforcement of anti-trust laws” and raising the minimum wage. New enlightenment in the Grand Old Party. Hallelujah! Can all this be true? Yes — except it’s not new. This document is the Republican Party Platform of 1956.

the crowd for 13 seconds. Four students were killed, two of whom were not even attending the rally. Nine were wounded, including one who was permanently paralyzed. On an audiotape, you hear one or more voices shouting, “Right here, get set, point, fire!” and the first shots ring out. A professor who had seen combat in the Korean war said, “It looked like a firing squad.” The distances of the victims from the guardsmen ranged from 265 feet to 390 feet. The massacre sparked a nationwide student strike that closed many colleges and universities. A Nixon-appointed presidential commission would conclude that the shootings were “unnecessary, unwarranted, and inexcusable.” Thomas Grace was one of the wounded. He is a retired social worker and union leader who is now an adjunct history professor at Erie Community College. He has written a comprehensive, evenhanded and massively researched history of the Kent State struggle entitled Kent State: Death and Dissent in the Long Sixties (Univ. of Massachusetts Press, Amherst and Boston, 2016, 384pp.) It isn’t a personal memoir, though he does provide a vivid account of his experiences on May 4 in a prologue and in sidebars to the description of the day. He has 80 pages of endnotes. Grace challenges media-generated myths about the sixties New Left. Activism is supposed to have begun on the two coasts and by 1970 spread to a monolithically conservative Middle America. Grace emphasizes that Kent had a tradition of student political activism that extended back to Ohio’s labor struggles of the 1950s and to a decade of anti-war and civil rights/ black liberation fights in the nation and on the campus itself. After World War II, Kent State expanded and brought in growing numbers of working-class students from the industrial centers of northeast Ohio. Members of this same demographic cohort would make up the core of American combat forces in Vietnam. In 1970, 10 percent of Kent State students had fought in Vietnam. The group, Vietnam Veterans Against the War, played an important role at Kent and around the country. Grace says of the anti-war Vietnam veterans involved in the May 4 rally: “They had a great deal of difficulty processing how they could have fought a war in defense of their country and then come home and have armed Boulder Weekly
agents of the state fire on them when they were unarmed.” Grace notes, “Those who shaped Kent’s long sixties were themselves formed by a variety of familial influences: unionism and a loyalty to New Deal politics, economic populism, Catholic social gospel, Christian existentialism, secular Jewish radicalism, the Old Left, a commitment to racial equality, and
Cold War liberalism.” It’s been said that the “sixties” ended after the Kent State killings. Grace shows how the anti-war movement grew larger and more diverse at Kent State and around the country until Nixon had to give up. He has a detailed appendix at the end about the fate of university’s activist generation. He concludes that,

I’m all for good road maintenance, but expanding our roads in response to increased traffic will likely just increase traffic and vehicle speeds [RE: “Danish Plan” July 7].

One of the most unreported stories of 2016 is election fraud in the Democratic Presidential Primaries that has earned Hillary Clinton her victory over Bernie Sanders. There are those in progressive media who remain focused on this issue including Redacted Tonight of RT America and The Humanist Report. The mainstream media, including NPR, has ignored the issue entirely. The Institute For American Democracy and Election Integrity has filed a lawsuit that involves the Democratic Primaries in over a dozen states. Go to their website TrustVote.org to learn about their work and the lawsuit. The lawsuit contends, “Here in the United States, all of our votes are counted by private corporations with proprietary software which they do not want people to examine if there is a problem with the election. These problems could include unwarranted purging of votes, apparent flipping of votes, disappearing of candidate(s) while voting and disappearing votes. An examination of Scytl/ SOE and ES&S, two vote counting companies demonstrates many negative reviews regarding their management of elections.”
The June 7 California Primary is now at the forefront of this fraud. According to some exit polls, Sanders should have won with 69 percent of the vote. In this state, a three pronged strategy was used to steal the election for Clinton. It included: purging of voter registrations, misinforming poll workers to have independents vote on provisional ballots (that weren’t counted) and hacking of electronic voting machines. In May 2016, a lawsuit was also filed in federal courts against Alameda County, San Francisco County and California’s Secretary of State regarding inaccurate election information mailed to voters. Go to BernieSanderVideo.com/lawsuit. html to learn more. Election fraud in general elections, committed by Republicans, has also been documented. It is a new low for the Democratic presidential primaries. It has become very clear that the Democratic National Committee (DNC), its corporate establishment politicians and big donors don’t want Bernie Sanders. The DNC has been colluding with the Clinton Campaign since before the race began, according to recent documents released by the hacker “Gucifer 2.0.” The primary process has been rigged in many ways, including the mainstream media naming Hillary as the candidate early on. The DNC’s was unwilling to let the Sanders campaign access the democratic voter database. The majority of superdelegates were committed to Clinton from the start. There is no Democracy found here! But who does Hillary Clinton, the DNC and the media think they are kidding? Just take a look of videos of any Bernie Sanders rally, (including when he lost the California primary). There were at least 10,000 people in the crowd. Over 60,000 people attended the Sanders rallying in Oakland. Compare this to many Hillary Clinton rallies being held in a school gymnasium with maybe a few hundred people in the crowd. Her California rallies were very poorly attended. Get the picture? The problem for Hillary is many Bernie supporters will never vote for her, because she has a proven, unprogressive track record. People just don’t trust her, even if they despise Donald Trump. But perhaps with enough election fraud tactics Hillary Clinton can win the general election. The Democratic Party is making a big mistake to nominate a fraudulent candidate and they could easily to lose to Trump because of it. Mark Rolofson/Boulder Boulder Weekly

moke hangs heavy in the air over the Mekong River in northern Thailand. Dawn is breaking over the village of Chiang Khong and with the sun comes the promise of another sweltering April day. The smoke is from slash-and-burn agriculture taking place on the other side of the river in Laos, a country ruled by a military dictatorship. The sound of reveille flows across the river each morning, along with the smoke and heat, into the democratic country of Thailand, with only the river between the two.
the Boulder-based Global Greengrants Fund, both of which fund and support river protection advocacy worldwide. In this capacity, Wockner has expanded his activism, traveling to and writing about dam and water threats in Costa Rica, Colombia, Mexico, Belize and Spain. Which brings us to the Mekong River in Thailand. This past April, Wockner traveled to the village of Chiang Khong to consult with locals in their fight against the development of more dams upstream. China has built several dams on the river that irrevocably damage the ecology of the waterway, and subsequently the lives of the people in Chiang Khong. Many more dams are proposed on the Mekong River in China, which will further mar the communities and ecological systems downstream in Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia and Vietnam. While Wockner’s no stranger to the water wars being waged across the globe, he had “a little bit of an epiphany” on his trip to Thailand. “The local people, or what you might call indigenous, are trying to protect their landscapes from the crush of industrial culture, [from attempts] to dam for hydroelectric power,” Wockner says. “People have been living there for a thousand years, but they don’t own the land so they can’t say, ‘Here are the four corners of my property.’ When the government comes in and tries to cut down the forest or build the dam, they have to start a process of legally demarking these land rights and going through the court process. It creates a very different legal and political dynamic.” And this is the work Wockner does in his far-flung travels; he advises locals on how to navigate new and complicated legal processes. Well, that’s the job description, anyway. One might say he’s teaching them how to save their own lives. Wockner says he’s realized that in the U.S. we protect nature for lots of reasons, often to defend endangered species or habitats, but we can be very removed from the idea that something like a dam can wipe out an entire village and its centuries-old way of life — that damage was done long ago with the influx of Europeans. “Preserving ‘local knowledge’ is different than westernized ‘nature protection.’ We are protecting He’s expanded his work because the problem people’s habitats, their homes, lives, food and voices.” — Chak Kineesee, program and outreach director at the Mekong School for Local Knowledge. has expanded.

“This is my home and these are my people,” says Chak Kineessee as he guides us on a longboat ride up the river. Chak was born in a village east of the Mekong River and is a member of one of the Hill Tribes of Northern Thailand. He works to protect the river and the livelihoods of the local indigenous people. Chak gave us a tour of one of the village forestry programs as well as a longboat ride up the Mekong River. Top right: Dawn breaks hot and smoky on the Mekong River in Chiang Khong, Thailand, on April 11, 2016. Looking across the river to the neighboring Laos town of Huay Xai, the sun eases above the hills amidst intense haze and humidity. April is the hottest month in Thailand, and April 2016 was the hottest month in 65 years, breaking 100 degrees Fahrenheit every day the entire month. The dawn smoke is from slashand-burn agriculture that is causing havoc on the forests on the Laos side of the border and throughout northern Thailand.
We start our day by meeting at the Mekong School for Local Knowledge, which sits along the banks of the Mekong River in the small town of Chiang Khong in the very north of Thailand, several kilometers downstream from the Golden Triangle where Burma, Thailand and Laos meet on the river. The school is a very small NGO and a grantee of Global Greengrants Fund (GGF) and GGF’s partner International Rivers. The School uses the phrase “local knowledge” in the same way that we think of “indigenous knowledge” — that which has developed naturally as a part of the lives of native peoples.
Yod La is a member of the Dai Yaun tribe, which is the oldest Hill Tribe in the area. She joined us on our tour of the forest preserve near the Ing River. While we walked and drove through the forest, she harvested wild vegetables from the forest floor. If the forest no longer floods because of the upstream dams, the food will no longer grow during the dry season.
Boulder Weekly
China has built several dams upstream on the river that impact the lives of downstream residents here in Chiang Khong. Many more dams are proposed on the Mekong River in China, down through Thailand, and downstream through Vietnam and Cambodia. The river — and the local indigenous people and their livelihood — is severely threatened by dams that change the flow in the river, drown fish and bird habitats, drown villages and displace people, and submerge and erase local, centuries-old knowledge of how to live sustainably on the landscape.
Yod La’s son, Sam, joined us on our visit to the forest as a passenger in the farm truck. Their family lives on the farm beside the Ing River along with 400 villagers. The Ing River is an important spawning habitat for Mekong River fish, and parts of the river are a fish sanctuary that the locals call a “fish palace.” The government has threatened to cut down the forest around the river and use the land for rice farming.
July 14, 2016 11
The Mekong School for Local Knowledge undertakes research about the river and all of its aquatic life and ecology, as well as the ways that local people use the river for their livelihood. The research collected by the school is used to inform decision-makers in the government. The School’s 20-meter longboat boasts its credentials on the canopy — “The Mekong River Is Not For Sale!” Chak’s hat echoes the same river-saving sentiment. The river is the center of the culture for tribal people as well as for the more modern culture that is encroaching on the Hill Tribe areas of Northern Thailand. Chak and his group believe that the Mekong River should be for nature and people, not “for sale” to the highest bidders in business.
Below: The Mekong River is used for transportation — crops and food travel up and down the river by longboat. Some of these boats have large inboard motors that run on propane; others have outboard motors with spinning propellers at the end of 10-foot long shafts. The river bursts with the noise of boat traffic, fisherman and even local students hollering out commands as they row crew.
The Mekong River is under siege by more proposed dams. Large political disputes in all of the countries across the Mekong River’s watershed underscore the significance of the river to this section of Southeast Asia. Governments have formed the “Mekong River Commission” to try and address the disputes. NGOs throughout the six-country region have alternatively formed the “Save The Mekong Coalition” to protect the river from dams. If all of the dams are built, the river will be devastated, along with the local people’s livelihood and the fish, bird and aquatic species that depend on the river for survival.

A small fish encampment on the Laos side of the river sits idle in the late afternoon as most of the fishing is done in the morning along the Mekong River. The Mekong School for Local Knowledge focuses heavily on research about the fish, their habitat and the ways of the fishermen along the river. By understanding the local knowledge, the school can influence decisions about the future of the river and help protect it from more dams. For example, the school has researched 93 fish species in the Mekong River, 83 of which are native, 10 non-native. Thirteen of the Mekong’s fish are officially “endangered,” including the world famous “Giant Catfish,” which can grow to over 200 kilograms. The operation of the Chinese dams upstream cause the river to be too cold, clear and deep in the dry season because they run the water out through the hydroelectric turbines at a steady and unnatural rate in order to generate electricity. This, in turn, has led to the endangerment of some of the fish.

Inset: In recent years, the Chinese government traveled by boat down to this section of the Mekong River near Chiang Khong in Thailand and attempted to blast the rocks out of the river to make it easier for ships to navigate its waters. The Mekong School for Local Knowledge has opposed the blasting — the rocks and rapids in the river are important bird-nesting and fish-spawning habitat.
Boulder Weekly
“We are the children of the Mekong River,” says Niwat Roykaew, director of the Mekong School for Local Knowledge.
news
After our trip up the river, we visit with Niwat who is locally famous for boarding a Chinese ship that was attempting to blast the rocks out of the river a few years ago. Niwat kept the blasting at bay for several days until the Chinese government agreed to stop the work. Niwat speaks about the river in spiritual terms and sees the relationship between the river and the people as holistic. “When the river has problems, the people have problems,” he says. “When the people re-learn their local knowledge and their relationship with the river, they can rebuild themselves as well as fight to protect the river.”
This is Mr. Niwat’s desk — and also serves as the Mekong School’s lunch table — on the banks of the river. Niwat sees the main threats to the river as dams, destruction of rocks and rapids, agricultural chemicals, garbage thrown into the river from ships, development in wetlands and illegal fishing techniques like blasting and electro-shock.
“When local people learn their history, they are empowered by that knowledge,” Niwat says. Researching all of the local history, relating that knowledge to decision-makers, and teaching that history to members of the Hill Tribes is the work of the Mekong School for Local Knowledge under Niwat’s stewardship. Niwat has served as an expert witness in Thai court, arguing for better protection of the river and the landscapes and people who live around it. He is also frequently quoted in Southeast Asian newspapers as a key spokesperson for local and indigenous people fighting for their livelihoods along the river.

Chanda Chai
S
ome of my most beautiful memories are of a village along the Ganges River where my mother grew up, the river literally her backyard, and where her parents were farmers. Fields of yellow. I remember playing with my brothers in the mango orchard, climbing and eating fruit from the tree. Fresh-picked bananas, coconut, jamun, lychee. As in most rural places, especially in the past, meals were always made with fresh ingredients. The spices for chai, of course, were also fresh. I’ve made chai every day for decades. Gotta have it. I sip on it all day. It’s a joke
with family and friends how much I have to have my chai. When I travel or camp I carry my spices and tea with me. This is how good it is to me. A huge thank you to the fabulous locations that have chosen Chanda Chai. These places know how to do it all just right, such as La Vita Bella Coffee, Paul’s Coffee and Tea, Eats & Sweets, Isabelle Farm, and Zeal (just to name a few). I am honored to be included in businesses that share a common theme: pride in providing the best quality. 720-232-1424. www.chandachai. com

As fire blazes through Nederland, neighbors open their doors to help
by Amanda Moutinho and Caitlin Rockett
L
iving in a mountain town means accepting the threat of fire and flood, and in the past few years the small town of Nederland has succumb to the ravages of both. As the Cold Springs fire continues to blaze in Boulder Canyon, the community has bonded together to help one
another. “We’re kind of isolated up here,” says Nederland Mayor Kristopher Larsen. “We basically have three ways in and out of town. When things happen we turn to one another, and that’s just an absolute wonderful thing to see.” First reports of the Cold Springs Fire came in at around 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 10, on Colorado 119 at Cold Spring Road and Peak to Peak Highway. High winds over the weekend aided its spread to more than 520 acres with 1,991 people evacuated by Monday evening. As of press time on Wednesday afternoon, the fire was 25 percent contained, with eight homes and seven other structures destroyed, according to data provided by Boulder Office of Emergency Management. On Sunday, two men from Alabama were arrested for starting the fire. Along with another companion, the two were camping on private property from Thursday evening through Friday morning and did not properly ensure their campfire was extinguished. They have been charged with fourth-degree arson and second-degree trespassing. Nederland High School is serving as an evacuation center for those who have been displaced. Ed O’Brien, public affairs officer and volunteer with the Red Cross, estimates the center is sheltering about Cassidy Sineni, first grader from Nederland Elementary School, shows her appreciation for all of the community help.

It’s a wonderful small community. I’ve always known that, but now I know it even more. I’m very thrilled to live here and to know these people and be friends with them.” To lend a hand, O’Brien says, many people have offered up their homes to displaced neighbors. “The biggest volunteering that’s Boulder Weekly

‘Slowing down as slowly as possible’
Olympic marathoner Frank Shorter pens new memoir
by Katie Porter
M
ost mornings, while many Boulderites are still wiping sleep from their eyes and brewing their coffee, Frank Shorter is already at Rally Sport, exercising on the elliptical and swimming laps. That might seem like enough daily fitness for the average person, but not for Shorter. In the early evenings he also hits the pavement around Wonderland Lake. Rewind 44 years and his quick-moving feet were on a different track: the 1972 Munich Summer Olympics arena. The gold medal he claimed that year sparked the crazy idea that running could be a popular sport, or even a hobby. “Millions of people discovered they love moving across the ground that way. Running for fun didn’t exist before. You ran for punishment,” Shorter says when I catch him during his afternoon downtime to escape the heat. Now retired from the professional sport — but nowhere near see SHORTER Page 22

done running — he has a little more time these days ON THE BILL: My Marathon — Frank and has taken up motivational speaking. On July 19 Shorter. 7:30 p.m. he will be at the First Congregational Church in Tuesday, July 19, First Congregational Boulder to sign and speak about his new memoir My Church, 1128 Pine St., Marathon. The book is a reflection on the aspects of Boulder, 303-447-2074. Shorter’s life that led to his record-holding, pioneering athletic career. While his first-place marathon win brought long-distance running to the forefront of the American fitness culture in the ’70s, that was hardly the beginning for Shorter. As early as middle school he felt a need to run. “Training” back then consisted of running back and forth to school in New York City’s Upper West Side, something that molded his sprinting style to this day. “I still run in a way that looks like I’m carrying my books in the crook of my left arm,” he says. A sense of competitiveness also spurred in his youth — not with others but within himself. Shorter remembers a field day in sixth grade when he beat all the older kids but really only participated to find out how well he could do. The prize was a book about great American sports heroes, something he chuckles about now. Little did he know he would be considered one a few decades later. The rest has gone down in athletic history. After the 1972 Olympics, he continued to win races around the world, including a silver medal in the Montreal games four years later. He won both the USA Cross Country Championship and the Fukuoka Marathon four consecutive years. He helped create the U.S. AntiDoping Agency and served as chairman for three years. In 2007 he was inducted into the Colorado Running Hall of Fame, his third such recognition. Although he may be the most distinguished and recognizable of American marathoners, he is quick to credit the subsequent cultural interest in the sport as a group effort, made possible with the support of guys like his Olympic team members Jack Bacheler and Kenny Moore. “We all had this common goal of helping each other,” Shorter says. “It truly was an amateur sport. “What’s great about the running boom is that it’s something that was built. It wasn’t that product of a public relations plan. It grew on its own and that’s the beauty of it. We’re just the caretakers for something that happened. No one is trying to get more out of it than anyone else.” Shorter moved to Colorado when training for the ’72 Olympic games because he could receive all the benefits of altitude from the comfort of the indoor track at Balch Fieldhouse on University of Colorado’s campus. A man of many firsts, he’s used his success to enrich the local community. He opened a specialty store that employed a handful of future star runners, and in 1979 he co-founded the annual Bolder Boulder, a race that now attracts more than 50,000 people. Reflecting on the ever-growing running scene, Shorter says athletes come here for community support. He has noticed the population becoming more inclusive, something he attributes to the rise of altruistic events where “people are running for other people, other reasons, more than just themselves.” But Shorter has always ran simply because he loves it. As he once replied to a friend’s mom who didn’t understand the appeal, “I like it. It does a lot of things for me.” The clear-headedness that comes from running has also helped him cope with a rough and abusive childhood, something he reflects on heavily in his book, and also influenced his decision to write it. “I hope young kids who are in bad situations see this and know this story and that they can create circumstances and situations to emerge from it,” Shorter says. “For whatever reason I was able to create that on my own. I had an instinct to deal with things by setting and achieving goals. ... That way of thinking is a thread for all I did going forward.” He credits his current mobility to being realistic about getting older and adjusting his training accordingly. Taking care of an aging body that has had multiple surgeries has allowed him to still run, albeit not against a stopwatch. Nowadays, the 68-year-old is focused on “slowing down as slowly as possible.” Off to sneak in a sprint before a thunderstorm rolls in, Shorter doesn’t seem to be slowing down at all. 22 July 14, 2016

TO BEND, NOT TO BREAK
Youth photo exhibit portrays resilience by Angela K. Evans
M
arda Kirn is no stranger to the topic of immigration. Raised in the U.S. by a traveling father and an Austrian mother, Kirn faced cultural discrepancies at a young age even if she wasn’t fully aware of it. “I would think that certain things were just the way that you did things but they were not in America,” Kirn says. “I remember having these arguments with people when I was very young ... because I really didn’t say the language correctly. And there’s certain things like food and politeness and

how you approach someone or not.” Now, Kirn is working with youth in Boulder County to not only articulate cultural nuance but to embrace it. As the executive director of ECO Arts Connections, a Boulder-based nonprofit, Kirn works to combine the arts with other disciplines, like science and social justice, in order to create sustainable living. “In our work when we think about sustainability, it’s not just environmental sustainability but also social cultural sustainability, economic sustainability and personal sustainability,” Kirn says. “[With] immigra-
tion, we’re trying to pull it out of the race and ethnicity narrative and bring it into the place of people leaving one place for a whole host of reasons that aren’t sustainable and moving to another place that is hopefully more sustainable.” Beginning last fall, Kirn and several local photographers collaborated with art classes at five high schools as well as three afterschool programs in Boulder County, to produce the youth photography exhibit The Resilience Project, now on display in the see RESILIENCE Page 26

The students explore issues from family, tradition and wildlife protection to anorexia, bulimia, bullying and academic pressure to perform. The images are as varied as the perspectives, but all convey a deep sense of experience in this world. As part of the Boulder County afterschool program GENESISTER, 13-yearold Fatima Talavera is a first-time artist featured in The Resilience Project. “Resilience means to me [that] when something bad happens or a bad experience just happens you bounce back up Fatima Talavera from it,” Talavera says. “It can be used for anything. Like grass — people step on it everyday and yet it’s still alive, it’s everywhere. Or like trees — people hang on them or yank on them but they’re still standing.” Even at a young age, Talavera has experienced this first hand. Her younger brother passed away two years ago, and the siblings were close during “the time we got together,” she says. “When my brother passed away everything went downhill. But then we got back on our feet.” Talavera’s photo “One in a Million Man” features her grandfather at the decorated grave of her younger brother, a depiction, she says, of youth empowerment. “My grandfather has always “One in a Million Man” taught me that nothing ever happens for no reason, it always happens because it’s supposed to and everything that happens you’re just supposed to get back up,” she says. “We really wanted kids to think about resilience in their own lives — environmentally, socially and culturally and personally,” Kirn says. “What we are trying to do is to get kids interested in these topics, to get kids to tell what they see in their homes and neighborhoods, in their communities in the outdoor world as well as in the human world.” Astha Adhikari’s father moved from Nepal to Colorado in 2000, and she came in 2003 with her mom and older brother when she was 4 years old. “The hardest thing was not being able to make friends that fast and not being able to talk to others,” she says.“Resilience means being active with others, being open with others and talking or being able to show people what a great person I am.” Naturally shy, Adhikari finds life in expressing herself through her photography as part of the ECO-Exploring Culture & Opportunities in Lafayette. She has also studied wildlife photography — something she aspires to keep pursuing — with the Boulder Audubon Society for a few years. On a recent road trip, she noticed an unusual outcropping of trees on the side of the road, captured in her piece “Circle of Trees” “It caught my attention because the trees were bent in an almost unnatural way,” Adhikari says in her artist statement. “These trees represent resilience in that they bend but do not break. I feel flexible when I bend. I can reduce my stress by being flexible. Nature helps me be resilient like these trees.” The 75 images in the exhibit broaden the viewer’s concept of the human spirit, the ability to bounce back with more strength and courage than we previously employed. It may be a difficult concept for many of us to comprehend, but it is how the next generation will lead us in the making of a better world. 26 July 14, 2016

Two drummers, one beat
Joe Bonamassa’s newest album has rhythm
B
by Alan Sculley
lues-rocker Joe Bonamassa has made a habit of choosing a specific theme or musical direction before recording many of his solo albums. For his new album, Blues of Desperation, the concept came from Bonamassa’s long-time producer Kevin Shirley, who wanted the album to feature not one but two drummers. In a recent phone interview, Bonamassa says he wasn’t sold on the drummer format when Shirley presented it. “You’d probably have to ask the two drummers, Greg (Morrow) and Anton (Fig), and they’d probably say the same thing: ‘We don’t think this is going to work, frankly,’” Bonamassa says. “And I didn’t think it was going to work. But Kevin has this thing, when he hears something and he knows how to put the right people in the room to achieve that. You cannot discount that for one minute. That’s why he’s a great producer.” The presence of two drummers on Blues of Desperation isn’t quite as apparent as it is, for instance, on Allman Brothers Band albums, where Butch Trucks and Jaimoe tended to play different but complementary patterns. There’s some of that approach on Blues of Desperation, but more often Morrow and Fig sync up closely, resulting in fat rhythms that kick up the power on many of the album’s rockers. On “This Train,” the crackling drum track recalls the beat Aerosmith used on “Back in the Saddle.” A couple of songs (“Mountain Climbing” and the title track) have the kind of thundering beats Led Zeppelin’s John Bonham brought to that band’s music. The rolling drums on “Distant Lonesome Train” give the song a cool tribal blues feel. “Well, the Allmans, that’s a different thing altogether,” Bonamassa says of the rhythmic approach of the new album. “That’s more of a soup, where the way we approached this was two separate parts making one beat. And if you play each part à la carte, it would
almost sound disjointed and not like drums. But when you come with the two parts, and you have a straight versus a swing, I mean, that’s when it really, no pun intended, that’s when it really starts to swing.” The potent rhythms are a selling point on Blues of Desperation, but so are the meaty guitar riffs and leads and vocal melodies that turn tunes like “This Train,” “Mountain Climbing” (with its great descending signature riff ) and the notably bluesy, string-accented “No Good Place For The Lonely” into standout rockers. The album also features several first-rate ballads in “How Deep This River Runs” (which has an epic feel), the ghostly “Drive” and the more acoustic and soulful “The Valley Runs Low.” Such songs suggest Bonamassa is doing some of the best songwriting in a career that now stretches back more than 25 years to when the Utica, New York native arrived on the scene as a pre-teen guitar prodigy playing some 20 shows with B.B. King by the time he was all of 12 years old. But the real coming-out party for Bonamassa, now 38, came in 1995, as a featured member of the band Bloodline. That group, though, broke up after one album, and Bonamassa launched his solo career. His first significant impact came with his sixth album, 2007’s Sloe Gin. He has followed the Sloe Gin album with seven more studio albums, including such well received titles
as The Ballad of John Henry ON THE BILL: Joe (2009), Black Bonamassa. 8 p.m. Rock (2010) Tuesday, July 18, Red and Driving Rocks Ampitheatre, 18300 W. Alameda Towards the Parkway, Morrison, Daylight 720-865-2494. (2012). But where as Bonamassa, up to that point, included a good number of covers on most of his albums, he has focused on all-original material on Blues of Desperation and his 2014 album Different Shades of Blue. And after writing his original songs on his own, these two most recent albums have seen him co-write with several seasoned tunesmiths, including James House, Jeffrey Steele and Jerry Flowers. Bonamassa says the skills of his co-writers nicely complement his strengths as a songwriter. “Well, these guys are song guys,” he says. “These guys know the structures and they know what songs and what they don’t need. I’m a riff guy. I know how to make blues-rock. So it’s the marriage of the two.” Bonamassa is showcasing a good chunk of Blues of Desperation on his current tour. He’s using just one drummer live (Fig), but along with Michael Rhodes on bass, he’s added keyboards (Reese Wynans, formerly of Stevie Ray Vaughan’s Double Trouble), trumpet (Lee Thornburg) and saxophone (Paulie Cerra). “It’s a killer six-piece band,“ Bonamassa says. “Yeah, the shows have been going great. We’re doing a lot of stuff on the new album. We’re doing some stuff from the new album, some stuff from the old albums and all points in between.”

Anna Christy and Susanne Mentzer shine in their performance in The Ballad of Baby Doe, now on stage at Central City Opera House.
‘Baby Doe’ opens Central City Opera season by Peter Alexander
C
entral City Opera (CCO) has a fresh and imaginative remake of an old friend this summer. Their 60th-anniversary production of Douglas Moore’s The Ballad of Baby Doe — CCO’s signature piece, which the company premiered July 7, 1956 — features a uniformly strong cast and chorus, creative use of projections by designer David Martin Jacques and inspired work by stage director Ken Cazan. The orchestra, under conductor Timothy Myers, gave a nuanced and supportive performance, responding well to the many moods and styles of Americana in Moore’s effective score. The result was a performance worthy of the company’s great history with this opera. The projections, which include mountains and snowy forests, the streets of Leadville and Baby Doe’s famous cabin at the Matchless Mine, deserve special notice. In an opera with many changes of scene, they suspended all limitations of the small stage in Central City. The principal singers and the director were all doing their first Baby Doe, likely one reason for the production’s freshness. “We’re feeling it as a premiere,” Cazan says. The choice to tell Baby Doe’s story as a memory piece worked well. A figure of “old Baby Doe,” based on pictures taken near the end of her life, reappeared throughout the production, and screens droped down often revealed
the character’s thoughts. This worked especially well because the opera ends with both flashbacks and flashforwards for Horace Tabor, as he dies in Baby Doe’s arms. Of the lead singers, Anna Christy’s bright soprano was well suited for the sparkly Doe. She was able girls, Tabor’s Cronies, Augusta’s to float delicious high notes, only occaFriends, Washington Dandies — were sionally crossing into shrillness.

What has traditionally been the third slot in the season will be taken by two one-act operas, both performed in English. Mozart’s Impresario, an 18th-century backstage tell-all comedy, will be performed in Central City and at Boulder’s Nomad Playhouse. Later the Same Evening by John Musto, bringing together characters from several well known Edward Hopper paintings, will be performed in Central City and Colorado Springs and, most notably, in the Denver Art Museum. Taking short operas in English on the road is a considered strategy by CCO and General Director Pelham (Pat) Pearce. They are aiming to attract new audiences to the art form by eliminating four barriers they have identified for new opera-goers: price, language, length and location. In the first two years of this program, Pearce has chosen interesting, accessible works that have broad appeal. The strategy seems to be working: Aiming for 50 percent new ticket buyers, they have achieved 55 percent. CCO is one of Colorado’s oldest and most venerable cultural institutions. It’s ongoing success, important to the community and the state, appears to be in good hands. To read more from Peter Alexander visit https://sharpsandflatirons.com/

Thirty-seven years ago, two college friends with a dream to ferment alcohol opened up their own brewery named Boulder Beer Company. Now to celebrate the anniversary of Boulder’s first craft brewers, they are inviting community members for a musical drinking event, featuring live bands and a variety of classic and seasonal beer. Local favorites and ’80s pop-rock cover band The Goonies will be headlining, with earlier performances by ska group The Al Capones and bluesy band Half Raff. All partakers will receive a commemorative glass. — Katie Porter
Words come to life in Courtesy CMF this musical transformation of famed poet Tracy K. Smith’s collection Life on Mars. These poems have themes of intergalactic exploration and the limits of being earth-bound. As a part of the Colorado Musical Festival, creative partner Joshua Roman wrote a song cycle to accompany Smith’s poems. On July 16, Roman, Smith and soprano Jessica Rivera will come together for “we do it to one another.” David Kaplan will be on piano, and he’ll be joined by other CMF instrumentalists. Along with the performance will be a conversation with the artists. Tickets are $32. — Katie Porter

This story is accompanied by colorful set design and vivacious choreography that match the rhythm of this whirlwind tale. — Katie Porter

film ‘A picture with a smile — and perhaps, a tear’
Chaplin’s ‘The Kid’ to play Chautauqua Silent Series by Michael J. Casey
L
ON THE BILL: The Kid and ike it or not, artists change. Though the preceding short, “A Dog’s we wish to preserve them in amber, Life,” accompanied by Hank Troy on the piano. 7:30 p.m. those we hold near and dear grow Wednesday, July 20, into individuals that we may not Chautauqua Auditorium, 900 necessarily want, but certainly may Baseline Road, Boulder, 303442-3282, chautauqua.com/ need. That was the case with Charlie events/film/. Tickets start at $6. Chaplin, who in 1918 — merely four years after his inauspicious debut — was one of cinema’s biggest comedic stars. With his shabby appearance, baggy trousers, oversized shoes and dusty bowler hat, Chaplin’s Tramp character was the very image of refinery and hilarity. His short comedies were a sensation, and they quickly made him one of the most recognizable individuals in the world. However, Chaplin wanted more. He already had complete control over his movies — which he wrote, produced, directed, starred, edited and, eventually, composed — and his own, personal studio in Hollywood offered him the ability to work endlessly on his projects. But it still wasn’t enough. Chaplin wanted to say something deeper, and he knew comedy alone wouldn’t cut it. He needed drama. Those around him warned against mixing sentiment and slapstick, but Chaplin knew better. And when he set eyes on young Jackie Coogan, a 5-year-old vaudevillian, Chaplin knew he struck gold. Here was the co-star he needed for his first feature-length film: The Kid. The Kid opens on an unwed mother (Edna Purviance, a long-time Chaplin co-star) leaving a charity hospital with her baby. She has no means Along with costar Jackie to raise the child and through a series of ridicuCoogan, Charlie Chaplin mixes comedy and drama in The Kid. lous, but hilarious, contrivances, the small bundle ends up in the Tramp’s lap. Thankfully, the Tramp’s heart is big, and he takes the child in. Jump five years later, and the Kid (Coogan) lives arm in arm with the Tramp. Their home is impoverished, but it is filled with love. Chaplin claimed that, “Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.” And The Kid is quite possibly the best example of this aphorism. Many of the comedic scenes take place in wide shot with the Tramp or the Kid perfectly framed in the center while other characters circle around them, best illustrated in the back alley brawl between the Tramp and a bully (Charles Reisner). Later, a welfare officer (Frank Campeau), feeling that the Kid would be better off in an orphanage, tears him from the Tramp’s home. Here, Chaplin moves in close and provides one of the most gripping and heart rending moments in all of silent cinema. By cutting from the Kid pleading to be returned to the Tramp, and the Tramp physically restrained in his home, Chaplin tugs at the audience’s heartstrings until they almost snap. The Tramp even stares directly into the camera, further pleading with the audience to stop this injustice. If there was any doubt in the audience’s mind that Chaplin would forever be confined to comedy, it evaporated immediately with those two shots. Ninety-five years later, their power hasn’t dwindled one iota. Woe to those who thought Chaplin was just another silent clown. Artists grow. How lucky we are for that. Boulder Weekly
The Girl on the Bullard Overpass by Peter Everwine
Someone told about a blind man who stood at a busy intersection, waving toward all the passing cars. When asked why he did that, he said that there might be someone in one of those cars whom he knew and he didn’t want to miss the opportunity. Peter Everwine, a California poet, here gives us another such waver, from his book Listening Long and Late, from the University of Pittsburgh Press. — Ted Kooser, U.S. Poet Laureate The girl on the Bullard overpass looks happy to be there, getting soaked in a light rain but waving her hands to the four o’clock freeway traffic in which I’m anything but happy.

You might think she’s too dumb to come in out of the rain, but rain or shine, it doesn’t seem to matter. She’s there most every afternoon, as if she does this for a living. Some living, I’d say. Doesn’t she ever get bored, or wish someone would stop and say, “Where to?” and her life would change? That’s how I’d be, hating the noise, the stink of exhaust, the press of people. I can’t imagine what her life is; mine is confused and often fretful. But there’s something brave about standing alone in the rain, waving wild semaphores of gladness to impatient passersby too tired or preoccupied to care. Seeing her at her familiar station I suddenly grin like a fool, wave back, and forgive the driver to my right, who is sullen and staring as I pass.

The healing power of pho by Caitlin Rockett
I
Su
’ve had strep throat three times in as many months. For a 31-year-old who doesn’t work with children or in a hospital, this is a pretty befuddling situation. Round Three hit hard over a recent weekend. It was purely summer outside — kids squealing with delight as they played, while I lay inside my apartment with the curtains drawn and the air conditioner kicking on and off while I slept. My lucid moments were spent wondering if I’d managed to ce an Fr create a new super strain of streptococcal bacteria. n sa Was I patient zero in the impending Streptopocalypse? (Note to self: trademark Streptopocalypse and begin drafting screenplay.) As an undergrad, I got strep throat a few times a year and I know two things are critical to ending the misery: Take every single antibiotic and eat pho. I’d taken all of my antibiotics in my previous bouts with strep, but I hadn’t eaten any pho. Perhaps this was my mistake. Luckily, just down the street from my apartment, in a shopping complex anchored by a grocery store, is an unassuming restaurant called Viña Pho & Grill. Despite the hustle and bustle of the parking lot outside, I’ve always found Viña to be a quiet respite. Its décor is simple and relaxing, its walls painted a warm shade of burnt orange that compliment the dark wood of the tables and chairs. Bamboo grows from a short wall that separates the dining room from a small bar area. It’s a great place to go to have a quiet talk with a good friend, and most importantly, it’s a great place to go to have a delicious bowl of pho. But on this particular weekend it seemed best if I get my pho to-go since I was a walking biohazard. Traditional pho is served with piping hot broth, rice noodles and thin slices of rare beef (the broth cooks the beef down a bit more as you eat), but truth be told, I
eat meat about once a week (mostly to write this column) and on this sickly Saturday I was craving a bowl of veggie pho. An in-house bowl of pho usually comes with a side plate of bean sprouts, basil, jalapenos, cilantro and lime, with chili and hoisin sauces on the table to add if desired. While this allows for customizing the soup, my to-go order offered me the ability to further tailor my pho to my tastes. The veggies — broccoli, carrots, mushrooms and onions — broth, bean sprouts, limes, basil, cilantro, noodles... all came independently. I made myself a thin soup at first — mostly broth and noodles, a wedge of lime and just a touch of basil — to test how my throat would handle food, and to my delight, for the first time in days, something I ate not only felt amazing on the way down, but tasted delicious too. I had no idea how hungry I was before that first bite, and the relief was immediate. A well-made pho broth, to me, is a little reminiscent of the holidays, with hints of anise, cinnamon and clove. I’ve heard folks say that making great pho lies in that soothing, aromatic broth, simmering it for hours and hours with just the right blend of spices. I’m not sure what the cooks at Viña do, but their broth has that light festive flavor that provides the perfect backdrop to soft noodles and veggies (or beef or chicken). By that sickly Saturday evening I was able to eat a second round of pho from my order, this time adding more veggies and a bit of chili sauce. A little heartier, still soothing. I woke up on Sunday morning feeling exponentially better. I can’t say Western medicine didn’t have something to do with it, but I also can’t say the pho didn’t help. I’ve been strep-free for a few weeks now, and I’ll go ahead and admit I’m a believer in the healing power of pho. (Note to self: Create pho vaccine in Streptopocalypse screenplay.)

Shishito peppers from Deep Nutrition Farm
his time of year I love sweet ripe tomatoes, freshly dressed lettuce and buttered roasted corn as much as any person can, but there really is more to life than a bowl of Colorado cherries. I watch folks ignoring the summer smorgasbord to focus on the mild, sweet favorites. Playing it safe means you are missing the sizzle, produce-wise. Instead of mutiny-ing against the bounty, taste something new. This is what I found in 15 minutes last Saturday at the Boulder County Farmers’ Market in Boulder.
Munson Farm rainbow chard
Kohlrabi from Miller Farms
Swiss chard is a green leafy treat with white, red and yellow stems and can be used much like spinach except it has a little more flavor. Some trim the stems and cook them a bit longer than the leaves but I like the crunch they add. Saute chard with a little olive oil or butter and salt, add it to omelets or combine it with cooked macaroni, sausage slices and grated Parmesan for a quick, weeknight all-inone dish. see NIBBLES Page 44

Fava beans from Munson Farms
NIBBLES from Page 43
Pastures of Plenty Fava Beans
I’ll skip the obligatory Silence of the Lambs reference here. If you love edamame you’ll enjoy fresh fava beans. The big pods can be grilled in the pod, which gives them a little smoke flavor. The beans have a thin shell that can be removed. Cooked favas can replace peas in most dishes. Best of all, make a Boulder County summer bean salad with fava beans, green beans, onions and herbs in a vinaigrette dressing.
Miller Farms Kohlrabi
Kohlrabi topped the shopping list when producers of TV’s Star Trek Voyager went looking for alien vegetables to stock the pantry in Neelix’s galley. Once you peel the alien-looking cabbage relative it looks much less threatening to small children and has a mild flavor. Cut kohlrabi into matchstick sized pieces or shred to use in stir frys or vegetable slaws. The War of the Worlds arms are also edible.
Aspen Moon Farms Purple Scallions
Scallions are the older sibling of regular, friendly bunches of green onions that spent the summer in the weight room. These are much bigger and can be used like any onion, except you don’t want to cook them too much. “I like to eat them thinly sliced in a salad. They have a little more bite than onions,” says Jason Griffith, coowner of Aspen Moon Farms. The whole bulb and part of the green top can be brushed with oil and grilled until charred to serve chopped in fajitas or burgers.
Deep Nutrition Farms Shishito Peppers
These little green peppers are the hottest thing since edamame on restaurant menus, but they are not particularly spicy. Shishitos should be cooked with a little bit of oil — I like toasted sesame oil or broth in a frying pan over high heat so the pepper skins start to blister. Season them with a little salt and lemon juice and eat whole except for the stem, as with a pickled pepperoncini. (P.S. Break out the butter. My agricultural sources tell me that some local sweet corn should start to be available this week and then arrive by the truckload after that.)
Taste of the Week
I was pretty blissful after my first visit to Boulder’s Bohemian Biergarten. What’s not to like about cold pilsener, perfectly chewy pretzels and a platter of sausages, spaetzle, mustard, red cabbage, goulash and potato-filled pierogies with sauteed mushrooms, consumed at a long wooden communal table? (If you are a fan of hearty European fare, keep an eye out for the big kielbasa at the annual Polish Food Festival, Aug. 20-21 in Denver. Details: polishfoodfestival.org.)

reetings from Ocean City, New Jersey. This past Saturday, I checked into a rental house for the week with some friends. Since Ocean City is a dry town, we came with plenty of beer and wine, along with ingredients for a few basic cocktails. While prepping dinner on the first night, we opened our first wine — a rosé of Pinot Noir from Pascal and Nicolas Reverdy, two brothers who produce some of the best wine in Sancerre. After sitting down to eat, we decided to open a red. So we pulled the cork on a bottle of Refosco from Matthiasson Wikimedia Commons/Stefan Krause, Germany Wines, a small, family operation in Napa Valley. It had been in the refrigerator for about two hours, and so was quite cold. But nothing about the serving temperature struck any of us as wrong; it was lipsmackingly delicious. This time of year, light reds deserve a spot in the fridge and on the table. Such a concept might seem foreign. After all, when consumers think of chilled wines, they tend to think of whites and rosés. And for most Americans, a light, brisk red is an oxymoron. Reds are supposed to be dark, powerful and served alongside steak. But plenty of reds shine when chilled. Take Gamay, the red variety from Beaujolais. Famed wine importer Kermit Lynch once described the wines of Domaine Diochon, a producer there, as “juicily delicious,” praising them for having “a lush, supple, swallowable texture.” This description can be used for virtually every top Beaujolais. The best examples effortlessly combine vibrant acidity with depth and complexity. And they sing when served slightly cold. (If you’re scratching your head, then you’re probably thinking of Beaujolais Nouveau, the easy drinking, fruity wine that floods ashore every November and is almost always insipid.) Elsewhere in France, the Jura’s reds — which consist mainly of Poulsard, Pinot Noir and Trousseau — demand to be chilled. This region is becoming quite popular with wine enthusiasts. Beaujolais and the Jura are both quite cool. On the viticultural edge, grapes struggle to ripen, so it’s nearly impossible to produce big reds. Consequently, the indigenous grapes tend to be light-bodied, supple and energetic. Take Zweigelt and Blaufrankisch, Austria’s all-star reds. They’re spicy and brooding, yet light on their feet. Or look at Lagrein, which hails from to Alto Adige in northeast Italy. It’s deep and plummy but rarely heavy. Refosco, from Friuli-Venezia Giulia, the northern Italian wine region that borders Slovenia and Austria, is similar. All these grapes take to a chill. And notably, they’re all low in tannins. If a wine is too tannic, that’s all you’ll taste once it’s cold. So don’t stock your refrigerators with Barolo and Napa Cabernet. If you’re looking for something with a bit more oomph, Grenache, Barbera and even some Zinfandel can handle a brisk serving temperature. When the mercury rises, wine enthusiasts in France cry out for “vins de soif,” a term that describes wines that are thirst-quenching and gulpable. Plenty of reds fit that description. And they belong on the summertime drinks menu. David White is the founder and editor of Terroirist.com. His columns are housed at GrapeCollective.com.

ARIES
MARCH 21-APRIL 19: Upcoming adventures might make
you more manly if you are a woman. If you are a man, the coming escapades could make you more womanly. How about if you’re trans? Odds are that you’ll become even more gender fluid. I am exaggerating a bit, of course. The transformations I’m referring to may not be visible to casual observers. They will mostly unfold in the depths of your psyche. But they won’t be merely symbolic, either. There’ll be mutations in your biochemistry that will expand your sense of your own gender. If you respond enthusiastically to these shifts, you will begin a process that could turn you into an even more complete and attractive human being than you already are.
TAURUS
APRIL 20-MAY 20: I’ll name five heroic tasks you will
have more than enough power to accomplish in the next eight months. 1. Turning an adversary into an ally. 2. Converting a debilitating obsession into a empowering passion. 3. Transforming an obstacle into a motivator. 4. Discovering small treasures in the midst of junk and decay. 5. Using the unsolved riddles of childhood to create a living shrine to eternal youth. 6. Gathering a slew of new freedom songs, learning them by heart, and singing them regularly — especially when habitual fears rise up in you.
monthly edition to a porn magazine published by smut magnate Larry Flynt. What’s even more scandalous is that I enjoyed doing it. OK. It’s your turn. Locate a compassionate listener who won’t judge you harshly, and unveil one of your subterranean mysteries. You may be surprised at how much psychic energy this will liberate. (For extra credit and emancipation, spill two or even three secrets.)

CAPRICORN
DEC. 22-JAN. 19:
What do you want to be when you grow up, Capricorn? What? You say you are already all grown up, and my question is irrelevant? If that’s your firm belief, I will ask you to set it aside for now. I’ll invite you to entertain the possibility that maybe some
parts of you are not in fact fully mature; that no matter how ripe you imagine yourself to be, you could become even riper — an even more gorgeous version of your best self. I will also encourage you to immerse yourself in a mood of playful fun as you respond to the following question: “How can I activate and embody an even more complete version of my soul’s code?”
AQUARIUS
JAN. 20-FEB. 18: On a summer day 20 years ago, I took my 5-year-old daughter Zoe and her friend Max to the merrygo-round in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. Zoe jumped on the elegant golden-maned lion and Max mounted the wild blue horse. Me? I climbed aboard the humble pig. Its squat pink body didn’t seem designed for rapid movement. Its timid gaze
was fixed on the floor in front of it. As the man who operated the ride came around to see if everyone was in place, he congratulated me on my bold choice. Very few riders preferred the porker, he said. Not glamorous enough. “But I’m sure I will arrive at our destination as quickly and efficiently as everyone else,” I replied. Your immediate future, Aquarius, has symbolic resemblances to this scene.
PISCES
FEB. 19-MARCH 20: Early on in our work together, my psychotherapist confessed that she only works with clients whose problems are interesting to her. In part, her motivations are selfish: Her goal is to enjoy her work. But her motivations are also altruistic. She feels she’s not likely to be of service to anyone with whom she can’t be deeply engaged. I understand this perspective, and am inclined to make it more universal. Isn’t it smart to pick all our allies according to this principle? Every one of us is a mess in one way or another, so why not choose to blend our fates with those whose messiness entertains us and teaches us the most? I suggest you experiment with this view in the coming weeks and months, Pisces.
GEMINI
MAY 21-JUNE 20: Your life has resemblances to a jigsaw
puzzle that lies unassembled on a kitchen table. Unbeknownst to you, but revealed to you by me, a few of the pieces are missing. Maybe your cat knocked them under the refrigerator, or they fell out of their storage box somewhere along the way. But this doesn’t have to be a problem. I believe you can mostly put together the puzzle without the missing fragments. At the end, when you’re finished, you may be tempted to feel frustration that the picture’s not complete. But that would be illogical perfectionism. Ninety-seven-percent success will be just fine.
CANCER
JUNE 21-JULY 22: If you are smoothly attuned with the
cosmic rhythms and finely aligned with your unconscious wisdom, you could wake up one morning and find that a mental block has miraculously crumbled, instantly raising your intelligence. If you can find it in your proud heart to surrender to “God,” your weirdest dilemma will get at least partially solved during a magical three-hour interlude. And if you are able to forgive 50 percent of the wrongs that have been done to you in the last six years, you will no longer feel like you’re running into a strong wind, but rather you’ll feel like the beneficiary of a strong wind blowing in the same direction you’re headed.
LEO
JULY 23-AUG. 22: How often have you visited hell or the
suburbs of hell during the last few weeks? According to my guesstimates, the time you spent there was exactly the right amount. You got the teachings you needed most, including a few tricks about how to steer clear of hell in the future. With this valuable information, you will forevermore be smarter about how to avoid unnecessary pain and irrelevant hindrances. So congratulations! I suggest you celebrate. And please use your new-found wisdom as you decline one last invitation to visit the heart of a big, hot mess.

VIRGO
AUG. 23-SEPT. 22: My friend Athena works as a mas-
seuse. She says that the highest praise she can receive is drool. When her clients feel so sublimely serene that threads of spit droop out of their mouths, she knows she’s in top form. You might trigger responses akin to drool in the coming weeks, Virgo. Even if you don’t work as a massage therapist, I think it’s possible you’ll provoke rather extreme expressions of approval, longing and curiosity. You will be at the height of your power to inspire potent feelings in those you encounter. In light of this situation, you might want to wear a small sign or button that reads, “You have my permission to drool freely.”
LIBRA
SEPT. 23-OCT. 22: The latest Free Will Astrology poll
shows that 33 percent of your friends, loved ones, and acquaintances approve of your grab for glory. Thirty-eight percent disapprove, 18 percent remain undecided, and 11 percent wish you would grab for even greater glory. As for me, I’m aligned with the eleven-percent minority. Here’s what I say: Don’t allow your quest for shiny breakthroughs and brilliant accomplishments to be overly influenced by what people think of you.
SCORPIO
OCT. 23-NOV. 21: You are at the pinnacle of your powers
to both hurt and heal. Your turbulent yearnings could disrupt the integrity of those whose self-knowledge is shaky, even as your smoldering radiance can illuminate the darkness for those who are lost or weak. As strong and confident as I am, even I would be cautious about engaging your tricky intelligence. Your piercing perceptions and wild understandings might either undo me or vitalize me. Given these volatile conditions, I advise everyone to approach you as if you were a love bomb or a truth fire or a beauty tornado.
SAGITTARIUS
NOV. 22-DEC. 21: Here’s the deal: I will confess a dark
secret from my past if you confess an equivalent secret from yours. Shall I go first? When I first got started in the business of writing horoscope columns, I contributed a sexed-up

Dear Dan: My first refractory period — the time it takes me to get ready to have sex again after my first orgasm — is shorter than the time it takes me to lose my erection. I was in a relationship and wasn’t using condoms anymore by the time I figured this out, so it was just generally good times — I’d blow my load, take less than a minute to catch my breath, and be © LaRae Lobdell ready to go again. But now that I’m single and entering the dating pool, I’m going to be wrapping it again. Obviously. But I’m not 100 percent sure it’s safe to blow two loads into one condom. I’m not sure how much ejaculate I’m producing the second time I come, but it’s surely less than the first time. I’m not confident that “second” erection would survive the whole taking-off-the-condom-and-tyingit-up-and-then-putting-on-another-condom exercise, but I would like to avoid that rigmarole if possible. So is it safe to blow two loads in a single condom? — Two Pump Champ Dear TPC: The failure rate for condoms when
Boulder Weekly
SAVAGE by Dan Savage
used correctly is low (2 percent), TPC, but the failure rate for condoms when used incorrectly is high (18 percent). Leaks are the most common way condoms fail, and slamming your cock in and out of someone with a fully loaded condom wrapped around it will result in leaks. Even if your second load consists of nothing but good intentions, TPC, reusing a condom the way you describe is a recipe for disaster, impregnation, disease transmission, or all of the above. Dear Dan: I have to put my two cents in about Heartbroken And Devastated, the man who discovered that his wife has been cheating on him the entire time they have been together. Her constant and selfish betrayal is egregious. Instead of
Love
being honest and giving him a chance to be in an open relationship, she chose to make a fool out of him. She is selfish and a slut. Not to mention that she could have given him an STD, AIDS, you name it. I disagree with you about the concept of monogamy — I don’t think it is a fantasy. I believe there is something that separates us from the animals, and that’s called integrity and self-control. I am happily married to a beautiful woman. I am a singer in a band, I get hit on all the time, but I don’t act on it. Because some of us have a conscience and don’t betray the ones we’ve made a COMMITMENT TO. I wish HAD the best of luck, but I hope he moves on and finds someone who will appreciate him. — Monogamous And Proud In Portland Dear MAPIP: I have a few questions for you, MAPIP, but first: I agree that HAD’s wife betrayed him in an extreme and egregious way, and I made that clear in
my response. (“The scale, duration, and psychological cruelty of your wife’s betrayals may be too great for you to overcome.”) Now here’s my question for you: What did you make a COMMITMENT TO? Was it to your wife or was it to an ideal? Did you commit to a fallible human being or did you commit to a principle? Let’s say your wife screwed up and cheated — which happens all the time, it could happen to you (you do realize you’re whistling past the world’s most densely populated graveyard), women cheat now at pretty much the same rate men do — and let’s say it was a far less egregious betrayal than the one HAD is suffering through. Let’s say it was a oneoff, years from now, or maybe a twooff. Would you stay and try to save your marriage or would you leave your wife? Staying and trying to save your marriage says, “I committed myself to this person,” leaving says, “I committed myself to this ideal.” If your ideals are more important to you than your spouse, I think you’re doing marriage wrong. But you’re free to disagree. Send questions to mail@savagelove.net and follow @fakedansavage on Twitter.

The federal government was not far behind. In In 1970 the Nixon administration launched the 1930, Henry Anslinger was appointed to head the “War on Drugs” by passing the Controlled
Substances Act (CSA) that regulates drugs based on their potential for abuse as well as the medical benefits they may provide. In a swift pivot, Nixon moved the conversation away from racial language toward a new, more politically correct target — the drugs themselves. In an address to the nation, President Nixon said, “America’s public enemy number one in the United States is drug abuse. In order to fight and defeat this enemy, it is necessary to wage a new, all-out offensive.” But changing the protagonist and the narrative did not change the story or eradicate the racism, it just made them more subtle, pervasive and defensible. As the drug took center stage, new kinds of criminals were invented — the drug pusher worst of all, but the drug user, too. These patriotic defects were to be dealt with harshly. After all, this was war. The CSA provided the justification to increase police presence in poor neighborhoods where the use of drugs was more visible and this came with a powerful cultural impact on these communities as the presence of an armed militia became the new norm. The violence of the last week is not new nor is it over. It does not belong to just a couple of cities, to just one race or even to just this country. The war on drugs is among America’s primary justifications for maintaining a military presence in countries around the world. In 1963, writer and civil rights activist James Baldwin said in reference to the bloody integration occurring in the South: “There is no moral distance, which is to say there is no distance, between the facts of life in San Francisco and the facts of life in Birmingham.” It is our responsibility to act to right the errant history of prohibition and endorse drug policies that restore communities instead of depleting them.

The end of the line for 139
W
ell, look who’s dazed and confused now. Less than a month ago, a brave little band of Colorado marijuana recriminalizers and drug war dead-enders announced they were going to launch a petition drive for a state constitutional amendment that would 1) limit the THC content of marijuana and marijuana products sold in Colorado to 16 percent, and 2) require that all pot and pot products carry a warning label that read like something of a bad re-make of Reefer Madness. “Warnings,” which would have been written into the Colorado Constitution, included birth defects, reduced brain development, permanent loss of brain abilities, increased risk of brain and behavioral problems in babies, altered senses, mood swings, impaired thinking and so on. The supporters characterized this as a “commonsense” health measure. The marijuana industry said its passage would outlaw 80 percent of the marijuana and marijuana products sold in the state. Three weeks after kicking off their petition drive, the neo-prohibitionists issued a press release saying they were withdrawing the initiative in the face of insurmountable opposition. “139 is done,” said former Colorado House Speaker Frank McNulty, a leader of the Healthy Colorado Coalition, the official name of the group sponsoring the initiative. Leaders of the group offered a number of reasons for what sent them into sudden withdrawal. The Associated Press reported that the Healthy Colorado Coalition issued a statement saying they were unable to raise enough money to advertise their initiative. “Putting it on the ballot simply wouldn’t have been enough,” according to Ali Pruitt, one of the measure’s prime sponsors. “We simply couldn’t go toe-to-toe with the marijuana moguls who committed tens of millions to defeat our common-sense controls on the sale of recreational marijuana,” Pruitt continued. “The marijuana industry built a wall of money between us and the November ballot that we simply couldn’t break through.” Tens of millions, huh? Actually, the Colorado Health Research Council, the group created by the marijuana industry to fight Amendment 139, raised $300,000. 420
El ements Bo ulder 56
Added former Lakewood High School Principal Ron Castagno, another prime sponsor of the initiative, “The Marijuana Moguls put a pile of campaign cash on the table and won. Our kids, and our communities are in crisis, for now.” Kids in crisis, huh? On June 20, about the same time the re-crim gang was launching their petition drive, the Colorado Health Department announced that its biannual Healthy Kids Colorado Survey found that marijuana use among high school students in 2015 was down slightly from 2011, the year before recreational marijuana was legalized in the state. McNulty’s take on why Amendment 139 folded was a little different. He claimed that the reason his group had to throw in the towel was that a group opposing the amendment had paid off signaturegathering firms to not work for the Amendment 139 time team. I’m told that one might have some truth to it. The version I heard was that anti-139 forces got the most prominent (and competent) signature gathering firms under contract before the Amendment 139 people contacted them. But signature gathering isn’t a black art, and there are companies all over the United States that do it competently. It’s inconceivable that the socalled marijuana moguls could have locked up all of them and that McNulty couldn’t have found one somewhere in the country. Successful petition drives often rely on a combination of paid and volunteer signature gatherers. If the Amendment 139 campaign folded in three weeks due to its inability to find paid petition gatherers, chances are it also had a paucity of unpaid volunteers — which is much more serious than lack of money because it would indicate an absence of popular support. The poor-mouthing by Amendment 139 supporters over their inability to raise enough money to hire paid signature gatherers, much less advertise the initiative, seems implausible to say the least; the roster of the nation’s most prominent marijuana neo-prohibitionists is shot through with people who have a nine- and 10-figure net worth. If the Amendment 139 folks couldn’t get them to pony up the necessary dough for a petition drive and advertising campaign, chances are that polling showed the initiative was dead on arrival.

“FRACKING IS CRAPPY”
The day, or more precisely days, are upon us. The days of political conventions affirming the candidacy of perhaps two of the most disliked presidential candidates in all of history. While the Republic National Convention (RNC) kicks off in Ohio next week, the Democratic National Convention (DNC) follows later this month in Philadelphia. And the City of Brotherly Love is already prepping the scene with 57 painted donkeys around town to make the Dems feel welcome. But it looks like the city isn’t the only group using creativity to usher in Hillz and her posse. In opposition to fracking, and more importantly the DNC’s stance (or lack thereof ) and Clinton have taken on it, activists have begun placing paper mache piles of poop behind the Dem donkeys around the city. You read it right — poop, aka feces, aka doodie, aka crap. The activists are hoping to send a strong message to all that come across their “art” — “Fracking is crappy,” so cut it out. Why not target the RNC elephants, you may ask? Because of the lack of hypocrisy on this issue. (Albeit perhaps only this issue.) Although climate-change deniers and fossil-fuel grabbers are unpopular, the position is almost expected from high-ranking Republicans, maybe even expected. Democrats on the other hand well, we expect more of them. They are the party that gave us Al Gore and An Inconvient Truth, for one. Regardless of how you feel about that whole thing, you can’t deny it brought the conversation to a broad spectrum of people now admitting climate change is real, it’s a problem and if we don’t do something, it’s here to stay. Who knows, maybe the “crappy” campaign will catch on and, once elected, Hillz will ban fracking. Here’s to hoping (fat chance.)
BUT REALLY, JEN, WHEN ARE YOU PLANNING TO HAVE A BABY?

When will women finally understand that they Wikimedia Commons/ Angela George were only put on Earth for one reason? It’s as if they think that their lives can have meaning, depth and fullness without procreating. The latest vigilante opting out of motherhood, not that it’s a decision she can make for herself, is Jennifer “Uterus Closed For Business” Aniston. After being asked for the 487,283rd time if she has a bun in the oven, Aniston chose to set the record strait in an essay for Huffington Post. “For the record, I am not pregnant,” she wrote. “What I am is fed up.” She goes on to slam the media for body shaming, and she calls the objectification of women “absurd and disturbing,” while we’d call it “righteous and empowering.” There’s always hope she’ll change her mind (George Clooney did conform to societal norms and “settle down”). Until then we’ll just keep asking (we’re still holding out baby hope for 94-year-old Betty White). As a courtesy to those journalists who can’t think of any other story angles for Aniston or any other female of child-bearing age, we’d like to offer some up some: Is Mickey Rourke sad he doesn’t have kids? How does Christopher Walken fill his days without a baby? Does Jay Leno feel like he’ll amount to enough without children? And for those who are sad that Aniston is not contributing any kids to this planet, do what Brad Pitt did: Find a consenting partner and have 365 children with them. One kid for every day of the year will surely make up for Aniston’s selfish decision to not add to the already over-populated Earth. Boulder Weekly
