Great story on jazz
The Ainslee Mac Naughton article about the Longmont Jazz Association and its annual festival (Buzz, July 18) is absolutely the best piece I have read in my 13 years as a board member of that organization. Ainslee took time to listen to and to include quotes from board member Jerry Maddock and musicians Max Wagner and Bill Wilkinson, whose comments were spot on. Our mission is to increase

Highroad Repeal the Patriot Act

t’s back. The Patriot Act — a grotesque, ever-mutating, hydraheaded monstrosity from the Bush-Cheney Little Shop of Horrors — has risen again, this time with an added twist of Orwellian intrusiveness from the Obamacans. Since 2006, Team Bush, and then Team Obama, have allowed the littleknown, hugely powerful National Security Agency to run a daily dragnet
interest and participation in jazz music and to support those individuals who devote their lives to this music, often with little recognition. We are proud of our annual free festival and thankful that BW and other outlets have provided great coverage this year. Jazz lives! Bill Fairchild, treasurer, Longmont Jazz Association/Longmont
Congrats to gays
(Re: “One step closer,” Dodge’s
through your and my phone calls — all on the hush-hush, of course, not informing us spyees. Now exposed, leaders of both parties are pointing to the Patriot Act, saying that it makes this wholesale, everyday invasion of our privacy perfectly legal. When the story broke, Obama dissembled, calling these massive and routine violations of the Fourth Amendment “modest intrusions” that are “worth us doing” to make us more secure. He added disingenuously that Congress is regularly briefed about the program. In fact, only a handful of members are briefed, and they have been flatly lied to by Obama’s director of national intelligence. Yet Sen. Diane Feinstein loyally defends spying on Americans, claiming it protects us from terrorists. But she then admitted she really doesn’t know how the mountains of data are being used. This is nothing but a bottomless
Bullets, May 2.) Not being gay, I guess I’ve always kind of thought, “Gee, I’ve got no dog in this fight.” But I do detest obvious injustice, and the more one looks at the issue as a matter of political justice and human dignity, then one has no choice but to respect the gay struggle as such. So congratulations to the gay community on their securing the right to marry. see LETTERS Page 8

“Trust Us” swamp, created by the panicky passage and irresponsible reauthorization of the Patriot Act. Secretly seizing everyone’s phone records is, as the ACLU put it, “beyond Orwellian.” As a New York Times editorial flatly and rightly says, “The administration has now lost all credibility on this issue.” But no administration can be trusted to restrain itself from abusing the unlimited power of the Patriot Act. It’s not enough to fight NSA’s outrageously invasive spying on us — the Patriot Act itself is a shameful betrayal of America’s ideals, and it must be repealed.

danish plan China building world’s tallest skyscraper — in record time
Really Bad Ideas

by Paul Danish
A
ccording to the ConstructionWeekOnline website Broad Sustainable Building, a Chinese company, has broken ground for a new high-rise it is building in Changsha, China. Not exactly the world’s most exciting news story, huh? OK, describing the project that way is kind of like describing Mao Zedong as a Chinese agrarian reformer. When complete, Broad’s building, which is named Sky City, will stand 838 meters (2,749 feet) and 220 stories, making it the tallest building in the world (10 meters taller than the Burj Khalifa building in Dubai). It will contain 1.05 million square meters (more than 11 million square feet) of above-ground space. And it will be built in about 10 months. About half of the construction time will be devoted to building the foundation and the underground parts of the building. The 220-story, above-ground parts of the steel frame structure will be assembled using modular construction methods that Broad has developed — in as little as 90 days, according to some accounts. Broad’s modular building technology is the biggest construction news to come out of China since the completion of the Great Wall. If it succeeds, it will transform the way cities are built everywhere. Personally, I have doubts about the desirability of living and working in high-rises. Still, you have to admire the sheer audacity of Broad for attempting to put up the world’s tallest building, from start to finish, in less than a year. This sort of a project used to be an American thing — before we turned the
country over to trial lawyers and nanny statists. If that judgment seems overly harsh, consider the case of Freedom Tower, which is being built on the site of the destroyed World Trade Center in Michael Bloomberg’s New York. Construction of the 104-story, 1,776foot tower, which started on April 27, 2006, has been going on for more than seven years. The planning process before that, which started with a failed architectural competition in 2002, took four years. The building is scheduled to open in 2014, 12 years after the project began. Estimated cost as of last May was $3.9 billion. Estimated cost of Sky City is $850 million. So all honor to Broad for doing what we used to do routinely. It deserves to be cheered on. Broad’s audacity extends beyond attempting to build the world’s tallest building in record time. The company is attempting to redefine urban design and urban life — and set new standards for green construction in the bargain. Sky City is intended to be more than an office tower. Broad designed it, as its name implies, as a city of 30,000 in a single building. The 11 million square feet will include residential units of up to 3,000 square feet, as well as low-income units, office and commercial space, shops, restaurants, a hotel for 1,000 guests, public areas, recreational facilities, performance and meeting space, schools, a hospital and landscaped terraces. Broad is building Sky City on a 100acre site by a lake. The building will be surrounded by wooded open space, parks and water. The company claims that the typical resident of Sky City will use only
1/100th as much land as a conventional urban dweller, and will have a carbon dioxide footprint of two tons per year, compared with 5.5 tons for a conventional city resident. To be sure, the city-in-a-building concept has been around for decades. Broad’s project may be the most serious attempt ever to build one, however. What are Broad’s chances of successfully pulling the project off? Better than you might suppose. The modular construction methods that make the project possible have been proven. Broad has put up a 15-story hotel in six days and a 30-story one in 15 days, using the techniques. (Time lapse videos are available on YouTube; they’ll leave you slack-jawed.) In other words, the necessary construction technology is in hand. So what could possibly go wrong? Gad, what couldn’t. Design flaws, material flaws, human errors, unexpected delays, bureaucratic sticks in the wheels, market surprises (China is badly overbuilt, for instance), unknowns, you name ’em. The risks are there. I suspect the biggest risks will involve getting the interior spaces and human factors right. If they aren’t right,

LETTERS from Page 7
That it drives the Right so absolutely crazy still gives me that ol’ Center Leftist college kick too, though, I must admit. However, we should not, and I will not, let this ruling overshadow the tragedy this same court has done to minorities in gutting a central component of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. No one’s going back to the 1860s, thank you very much. Grant Cyrus/Boulder 8 July 25, 2013
it is entirely possible that people will reject the concept of living in a city in a building and won’t come. If things like city governance and policing haven’t been thought through properly, the city could become dysfunctional. Hopefully Broad’s staff haven’t been dazzled by its construction technology to the point where it has slighted the human dimensions of its project. Hopefully it has designed a building with interior spaces that can be quickly reconfigured to respond to the ways people actually choose to live in and use the building after they move in. If the Sky City project succeeds, chances are Broad’s payoff will not come from selling the world’s tallest buildings, but from selling the world’s fastest buildings, and at dramatically lower costs than today’s conventional ones. Imagine CU putting up new buildings, red sandstone included, in a matter of weeks instead of years, for instance. Like Google’s self-driving cars, Broad’s technology could transform life as we know it. It’s odd that hardly anyone has noticed it up to now.

Vegan diet and the flu
The flu epidemic invaded 48 states, overwhelming medical facilities, exhausting vaccine supplies and killing 29 children and thousands of seniors. The problem and solution to this disaster hinge on how we relate to animals raised for food. Indeed, 61 percent of the 1,415 pathogens known to infect humans originate with animals. The more recent, contagious and deadly viruses among these include Asian, dengue fever, Ebola,
H5N1 (bird), HIV, SARS, West Nile and yellow fever. The pandemic “Spanish” flu of 1918 killed 20 million to 50 million people worldwide, and the World Health Organization predicts more pandemics in the future. Today’s factory farms are virtual flu factories. Sick, crowded, highly stressed animals in contact with contaminated feces and urine provide ideal incubation media for viruses.

in case you missed it
Shocker: CU likes its new coach, AD Boy, that sports headline in Brand X last week was a real surprise: “DiStefano: Leadership ‘best’ in years.” It sounded vaguely familiar, the idea that when new coaches and athletics directors are hired at CU it’s a complete lovefest. Unfortunately, these love affairs don’t always last, as we have seen repeatedly over the years. So just for fun, for comparison’s sake, we decided to look back at some of the quotes uttered by CU Chancellor Phil DiStefano and other CU officials at the time of certain hirings. Here’s a good one, from CU Regent Jerry Rutledge in January 1999, right after former football coach Gary Barnett was hired: “I think we’ve chosen a great guy. He’s a man of integrity.” Barnett would go on, of course, to be at the center of one of the worst football scandals in CU history in 2004. Here’s what DiStefano said when former football coach Dan Hawkins was hired: “His record of achievements on the field is impressive, but he also brings a deep commitment to the personal and academic growth of student-athletes in his charge.” And when Jon Embree and Eric Bienemy were hired as head coach and offensive coordinator, respectively, here’s what former Athletic Director Mike Bohn said: “Their football acumen is impressive.” The more things change, the more they stay the same. Hopefully this time the story will have a happy ending. More CU shenanigans Speaking of CU, the idea that the Board of Regents isn’t at least subconsciously co-opted and unable to impartially evaluate President Bruce Benson while having a retreat at his mountain ranch is ludicrous. Yes, out of the goodness of his job security, er, heart, Benson generously allowed his bosses to meet at his ranch near Kremmling this month. Talk about appearances of impropriety. Sure, it saves CU money, but it only adds fuel to the perception that the regents have always been pretty cozy with their hires instead of holding them accountable. It takes a real shit storm for the board to get rid of one of its presidents. (See Judith Albino, John Buechner and Betsy Hoffman.) Oh, and speaking of impropriety, one of the topics at this Benson ranch retreat was a new initiative to examine and prioritize CU’s academic programs, presumably with the intent of eliminating duplication in the (un)holy name of efficiency. Oh, and to make sure there’s a job market for each field. Wouldn’t want anyone studying, oh, we don’t know, let’s just pick one — ethnic studies, for instance. Last we checked, decisions on what should be taught at the university were the purview of the faculty, not a bunch of right-wing politicians. Information bad Are you serious? Just when you think our federal government could stoop no lower, along comes this gem about the Department of Homeland Security telling its employees to — wait for it — not read the newspaper. The Washington Post, pesky government watchdog that it is, placed a link in one of its articles to a classified slide showing how the National Security Agency monitors international communications. Well, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) didn’t like that one bit, so it sent a memo to DHS staff on July 12 warning employees that opening the link from a non-classified computer could be a violation of the non-disclosure agreement they’ve signed pledging to protect classified information related to national security. “You may be subject to any administration or legal action from the Government,” the memo states. So, even though the classified slide is now available to millions and millions of people via the Internet, the government is threatening its employees about opening it on their computers? Typical bureaucrats. Can’t see the forest, but better make sure those individual trees follow the rules. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com Boulder Weekly

Tracking down the trafficked
n 2012, the FBI recovered 49 girls who were victims of sex trafficking in Denver. Some were runaways from broken homes, homes with a history of child abuse. Some may have been in and out of state care, including juvenile detention facilities, and had already been deemed “throwaway kids” by the system. Some were girls from the suburbs. They were white and African American, mostly, some Hispanic and some Asian. Their average age was 16. At a time when their peers were studying for drivers licenses and SATs, shopping for prom dresses and worrying about dates and who said what on Facebook, these girls were being pressured into selling themselves on the street, exchanging the sale of their bodies for food, a place to sleep or clothing. A handful were still attending school. Some of them may have encountered medical professionals, or even law enforcement, multiple times before being recognized as victims of trafficking. As of the end of June, the Innocence Lost Task Force, a multijurisdictional effort to combat juvenile sex trafficking that can track traffickers across agency lines and responds to calls from Colorado and Wyoming, had recovered 25 children in Denver who were sex trafficking victims so far in 2013. The agency usually sees a spike over the summer months, putting them on track to set a record high for the number of sex trafficking victims recovered this year. The task force has dedicated staff and officers from the FBI and police departments in Denver and Aurora and Arapahoe County. Before the task force was launched in January 2012, the FBI was recovering 10 to 15 juvenile sex trafficking victims each year. That number more than doubled just in the first year the task force existed. The FBI says it’s recovering more victims because of better, broader, interagency police work. But one officer says who’s doing the trafficking and who the victims are is changing. However the crime evolves, the victims will continue to face trauma that takes a lifetime of work and a crew of professional help to manage. As one of the largest cities in a five-state region, and sitting at crossroads of interstates 70 and 25, Denver falls prey to basic math — more people to sell product to. But exactly how prevalent the issue is remains unclear, both locally and internationally. “We just don’t hear about it enough,” says Patrick Lechleitner, assistant special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations, which handles transnational trafficking. “We know that more of it exists than we know about. We just don’t know what we don’t know.” The central issue to that, he says, starts with reporting — victims are unable or unwilling to come forward. “Probably one of the biggest things is that it’s a really secretive crime and people don’t want to come forward on it,” Lechleitner says. “There’s a lot of extreme trauma.” At Prax(us), a Denver-based organization that focuses on reaching homeless youth in domestic

tion on that stop, he can pass details on to the FBI, which may be able to use that information in ongoing investigations. They’ll track a suspected victim for weeks, even across state lines, before they’re able to conduct a sting to recover that victim. But if the cops don’t know what they’re looking at in the first place, the case dead-ends. “Without recognizing that it’s a trafficking situation, a lot of times we can’t get necessarily the help for the children to really get them out of it,” Wright says. It’s the coordinated efforts and better policing that are leading to more recoveries, he says. “I certainly don’t think that the problem has gotten worse in the last three years and that’s why we’re seeing more,” he says. “I think we’re just getting better at finding it.” Recovering one child may provide intelligence about other victims or traffickers, which can increase recoveries, he adds. But Sgt. Dan Steele, a Denver police officer who’s assigned full time to the task force — boots on the ground doing police work — has a different take. Steele came to the Rocky Mountain Safe Streets Task Force from vice in the Denver Police Department. A couple of other Denver detectives mentored him on trafficking, and his perspective started to shift. Then he was asked to lead an interview with a trafficking victim — a 14-year-old girl whose mother coerced her to prostitute herself and used the money to buy drugs. “That pretty much changed my perspective on everything,” Steele says. “While I was supportive of all the anti-trafficking efforts, I was supportive of going after pimps, I was supportive of trying to get girls and women out of the life, that interview, though, really solidified my desire to do more than we were doing.” Steele was on the ground floor with the launch of the Rocky Mountain Innocence Lost Task Force, which focuses on child victims of sex trafficking. As the Denver Police Department’s resident officer on the task force, he’s now considered their go-to source for information on trafficking. If Steele says he’s seeing a trend, says Denver Police Department spokesperson Sonny Jackson, that’s the official line from the Denver Police Department. And Steele, a bit the McNulty to Wright’s Lt. Daniels, is not afraid to disagree with the party line. Tips from outside agencies have increased recoveries, he agrees, and they’ve found better ways of identifying minors who are being prostituted. But the 14-year veteran of the Denver police force says there’s a new model for business developing in trafficking. “Beginning right around 2006, until now, the numbers have gone up every year as a far as the number of minor females that show up to prostitution operations or that are contacted in that capacity,” Steele says. “The Denver Police Department did not change their approach as far as, we do escort stings, we do street prostitution, we do massage parlors, we do brothels. This is just the number of kids that are showing up. In that sense, I do think that it is getting
human trafficking situations, staff doesn’t say “victims of human trafficking” because people rarely self-identify that way. “Never does anyone come up and say, ‘Hey this human trafficking thing, I’m a victim of human trafficking, can I have services?’” says Emily Lafferrandre, director of education and advocacy for Prax(us). “It was hard to make judgments based on the occasional child that was being found that was involved in it, and there was no really central reporting of it either,” says Ricky Wright, the FBI coordinator for the Innocence Lost Task Force and a member of an interagency anti-trafficking working group that predates the task force. An agency might find a child involved in prostitution, but make the arrest for drugs or another delinquency, or just take a child home or to an agency that works with runaways — and no one stopped to collect the data on whether that child had been trafficked, he says. Sometimes, an officer may not even recognize the signs of trafficking. The first obstacle the task force encounters comes in the flat disbelief that an issue as horrifying as human trafficking, particularly child sex trafficking, can happen among the neatly manicured lawns and tidy store fronts of suburban America. “Time and time again we heard, ‘Oh we don’t have that problem in our area. We certainly don’t have that,’” Wright says. “From time to time, some of these agencies stumble across problems or we’ve helped them recover a child in their jurisdiction and they’re like, ‘Whoa, wait a minute. Maybe it does exist here. How do we find it? How do we look for it?’” In addition to coordinating policing efforts, the task force has increased outreach and awareness programs to hospitals, schools, hotels and other businesses — there’s even a Truckers Against Trafficking, and they’ve done outreach with that group. They’ve seen a corresponding increase in the number and diversity of tips coming in, including one from Denver Public Schools. And they’re getting more referrals from law enforcement, often from the same officers, Wright says, who may have worked on a trafficking case in the past. “They more readily recognize it, where other officers maybe aren’t,” Wright says. “So we’re getting calls from those agencies about ‘Hey, I stopped this car and it was an older male with a younger girl, and I asked questions and things just didn’t add up. I think it could be a trafficking situation.’” Maybe the girl has little in her purse but lingerie and condoms. No identification. No money. Even if the officer isn’t able to get to the bottom of the situa-

TRAFFICKING from Page 13
a little worse. I also feel like we’re seeing a difference in the kind of people that are trafficking in minors.” It’s not escort agencies or madams as much anymore. Young men — 21, 22, 23 years old, one as young as 17 — with a history of robbery, narcotics, criminal mischief — gang crimes — are starting to leave behind selling crack on Colfax for selling women who are often under 18. They seem to be learning, he says, that if you get a certain number of hits for a crime like narcotics, the prison sentence grows, or if you’re the one on the street corner selling crack, you’re going to get arrested, and it’s the same class of felony as trafficking a child. But a trafficker, a pimp, can stay off the streets and manipulate other women to post ads, drive the girls around and set them up with the hotel rooms. “In other words, you can sit back, collect all the money, and really do no work, and the chance of you getting caught is less than it would be if you’re going out and committing bank robberies, for instance,” Steele says. The pimps may be so insulated from the day-to-day operation, buried behind layers of loyalty from the people who work beneath them, that the FBI can’t even identify them. Lechleitner, with Homeland Security Investigations, says they’re seeing gangs involved in transnational trafficking as well, though to a lesser degree. “It’s like, the high point of my gang life is to graduate to be a pimp,” Wright says. “And then I think, also, they realize that dealing drugs, you know, it costs money to get those drugs, and of course they’re making money and marking it up, but they only can sell those drugs once. They can sell a child or a human being 10 times a day and make an enormous amount of money.” Some of the pimps adopt a boyfriend-type model, recruiting girls with low self esteem, promising to care for them, and slowly wearing away their boundaries as the life they’ve promised relies more and more on the income the girls make by prostituting themselves. Success in policing trafficking is counted not in arrested perpetrators, but in recovered victims. The work recovering those victims often begins where their patrons start the search for them: on the Internet. Officers chase a tip on a missing girl whose family suspects her of being trafficked through social media or ads like those on Backpage.com. The search often ends in the back of a cop car, with FBI Victim Specialist Anne Darr waiting with a backpack full of supplies like food, water, basic
hygiene items, flip-flops and warm, comfortable clothing. Prax(us) also uses bags filled with water, snacks, clothing, sunscreen and hygiene items as a way of building a relationship. With each victim, Darr conducts a needs assessment that starts with medical needs and basic needs like food and water, then moves through developing rapport and conducting a forensic interview. The youngest girl recovered in 2012 was a 13-year-old picked up “walking the track” on Colfax who hadn’t eaten in three days. In another case, a girl’s trafficker had taken away her personal hygiene items and she hadn’t been able to brush her teeth in days. Darr has watched girls quickly swap their dresses and high heels for the sweatpants and sweatshirt in the backpack, zipping the sweatshirt all the way to the top. The clothes make them feel comfortable and at ease, Darr says, and the fact that they’re freely given signals a change from a living situation in which food and a place to sleep at night have been bought with the currency of sex acts with strangers. Darr says building trust starts with a simple question: She asks what their goals are. “No pimp is going to ask what you want to be when you grow up,” she says. That question is the beginning of breaking down barriers with girls whose psychological impacts of being trafficked include a lack of faith in humanity. “A lot of these girls feel like they’re in a black hole and they don’t know how to climb out of that black hole because they’re so deep,” Darr says. “They don’t know that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, and so my role is trying to help them see that and that somebody cares about them.” Darr, who started her work with the bureau at a police department in Alaska working with trafficking victims from bush villages and Indian country, transferred to Colorado in 2010 and was recruited to work on the trafficking task force based on her experience. Her favorite success story comes from the first girl recovered after she arrived in Colorado. The FBI followed a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about an endangered runaway from Aurora, and set up a sting to recover her off an online ad. She’d been a runaway for a year and a half, since she was 13 years old and had left an abusive home, and had been sold by eight pimps. “When we got her and brought her in she’s like, ‘I can’t do this anymore. I’m done.’ And she just had this look in Boulder Weekly

her eyes of being lost,” Darr says. The girl was sent out of state to a residential treatment program to keep her safely out of reach of her trafficker, a gang member. The residential program provides victims trauma therapy in group and individual settings, provides medical care, coaches job skills, fills educational gaps for victims interested in returning to school or taking the GED, and teaches about healthy relationships, self esteem and empowerment. “She just thrived in her program,” Darr says of that first recovered girl. “There’s always struggles, but she thrived in the program and really embraced it.” That recovered girl went on to go to prom and graduated from high school — Darr has a photo of her, a beaming blonde impossibly far away from the sunken-cheeked, black-eyed girl they picked up years before whose trafficker-given brand was visible in her booking photo. Now, she’s in college on a full-ride scholarship. Rarely, however, are victims available to testify against their traffickers when they finally come to trial, sometimes years after the initial arrest. Police do what they can to compile as much evidence as possible so they can still get a conviction even without the victim present to testify. In this case, the victim returned to testify against her trafficker, taking the stand for eight hours. The jury found her former pimp guilty of pandering and pimping of a child — though they could not reach a unanimous verdict on a count of child trafficking — and he was sentenced to 34 years in prison, according to an FBI press release. She was quoted after his sentencing hearing as saying, “I’m no longer a victim. I’m victorious.” But every morning, a survivor of trafficking has to wake up and decide how to manage the ongoing effects of the trauma, Darr says. Victims face social impacts like isolation from peers and community, physical effects from tattoos and branding to STDs and emotional damage from blaming themselves or facing a family that blames the victim, too, not to mention anxiety, paranoia, depression and other PTSD symptoms. “It will be a lifetime of recovery because there’s so much trauma,” Darr says. She’s just one of a team of service providers who immediately surround the victim — social workers, therapists and lawyers all step forward to provide them with the resources necessary to get out of the game. In a photo from the 18th birthday party for that first girl Darr helped recover in Colorado, Boulder Weekly
she’s surrounded by the people who surged to her aid in the days following her recovery — investigators, the prosecuting attorney, victim’s advocates and staff from the treatment program, her social worker. “She tells me all the time, she feels so loved because there are so many people that care and really went to bat for her,” Darr says. “And she really has thrived because of that.” Darr echoes what the law enforcement says — more outreach has meant more victims recovered — and adds that it may even mean prevention, if approached correctly, even implementing educational components on trafficking into schools. One of her victims, she says, was being dropped off at school every day by her pimp, and when she showed up with Air Jordans and her nails done, her friends said “Hey what about us?” instead of, “We’re worried about her.” “I think it’s an issue of trying to get it out there so they recognize the issue,” Darr says. But curriculum covering self esteem and life skills could also prevent trafficking — as could teaching about healthy relationships and mutual respect, so little boys don’t grow up to be pimps and traffickers someday, she says. Identifying at-risk kids who are likely to run away and wrapping them in comprehensive services may also help reduce the numbers of trafficking victims. There are two centers to help commercially sexually exploited children in Colorado. Amy’s House in Fort Collins opened earlier this year and Sarah’s Home in Colorado Springs will be opening soon, which is encouraging in terms of local treatment options. The Boulder Police Department hasn’t reported any cases of human trafficking, according to the department spokesperson, Kim Kobel. But Attention Homes reports that on a particular sample night in January 2012, 162 Boulder County youth were reported homeless, a 165 percent increase over 2011. They also claim that 1,500 12- to 25-year-olds are homeless in Colorado right now. Within 48 hours of leaving home, 30 percent of runaways are recruited into trafficking. Based on the cases that came in during 2012, Darr estimates that runaways’ first contact with a trafficker occurs within 24 hours of leaving home. “They don’t understand or recognize that it could happen anywhere, it could happen in anyone’s backyard,” Darr says of the outlying communities around the Denver metro area, which don’t always recognize that trafficking exists in their area. “It does happen anywhere.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

Animal behaviorists flock to Boulder by Camilla Sterne
T
he Superb Starling is named for its iridescent blue and orange plumage and is evoked in a Wynton Marasalis song for its complex and collective birdsong, consisting of warbling, trills and chattering. But what caught the eye of animal behaviorists was its complex cooperative living situation, in which groups of 30 birds have “extrapair mates” and often interbreed and collectively care for offspring. In the Superb Starling’s world, males and females are equal in both birdsong and plumage, and similarly compete for mates and nurture progeny, even those that are not their own, according to a study by Julia Pilowsky and Dustin Rubenstein of Columbia University. The intricacies of animal social behavior can call to mind similar manifestations in humans — social and cooperative animals can provide a useful source of inspiration, animal behaviorists say. “Across all animals, we’re fairly unique,” Emilie Snell-Rood, an assistant professor in ecology, evolution and animal behavior at the University of Minnesota, says of humans. “But at the same time there are a lot of animals who are pretty social and pretty cooperative. Understanding the question of ‘Why cooperate?’ not only reveals how we’re a special species but gives us the tools to promote more cooperation.” Delving into those differences — and exploring what humans can learn from, for example, a bird’s egalitarian approach to mating and raising offspring — is the motivation for the Animal Behavior Society, which concludes its annual conference with the Adventures in Animal Behavior fair on Aug. 2 at the University of Colorado Boulder’s Museum of Natural History. The museum will collaborate with the Animal Behavior Society to host the event, which is part of its 50th annual conference and brings together exhibitions from more than 50 scientists from 20 labs. “Studying animal behavior certainly provides a
better understanding of human social interaction,” says Michael Breed, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Colorado Boulder. Scientists from institutions across the U.S. will share studies on everything from animal decision-making to mate choice in birds and butterflies to tracking small animal movement. They will address a range of concepts, from ecology to conservation, and biodiversity to human behavior, according to a press release. The information will be widely accessible, as well as kid-friendly. “We like to understand the natural world around us,” Breed says. Gail Patricelli and children play with a robotic grouse meant for use in studying mate choice at an animal behavior fair in Bloomington, Ind. “But in a more practical or immediate sense, humans interact with animals every day.

Drone Season ‘BW’ lines up to be first to shoot one down

F
or sporting types like ourselves, the alluring call of the wild drone was not something we could resist. It was mid-morning when we headed out for Deer Trail, a tiny burg that sprouts from the empty plains with an optimistic population estimate of 598. The Google directions from Denver to Deer Trail are as simple as the landscape; go 54 miles east on I-70 and exit when you see the water tower. For all intents and purposes, this was the first huntingrelated experience for both of us, if you don’t count hunting as guiltDodge searches the sky laden, childfor game. hood BB gun incidents involving birds. And apparently most men wearing camo don’t. While we weren’t actually going to be shooting anything this particular day, getting to Deer Trail was an important first step, because we needed to get our names on the waiting list for a new type of hunting license the town is considering issuing. Plus, we thought we might pick up a few pointers from the locals
U
nfortunately, we were unable to find a taxidermist in Deer Trail who could advise us on the subtle nuances and intricacies of properly stuffing and mounting a drone that one has bagged. But common sense tells us that there are two likely ways to mount such a trophy: sideways and head-on. The sideways mount allows visitors to view the full, impressive length and markings of the aircraft, while the head-on mount would be sure to deliver spine-tingling shivers, as it gives the impression that it is flying straight toward your houseguest. We’ve surmised that when it comes to drone taxidermy, much depends on the size of the game; some 10-point drones only weigh about a pound, while the 18-point variety can be upwards of 40,000 pounds. Depending on the preference of the hunter, and the size of his or her house, only the nose of the drone could make a fine addition above the fireplace mantle, whereas keeping a large, full drone in the home could necessitate the use of the better part of a sizeable rec room, or even the backyard, where it could provide hours of enjoyment as a play structure for the kids.

on things like bait selection and building a proper blind. After all, one would think unmanned federal drones would qualify as pretty crafty prey. So we figured we were going to need some solid coaching from the pros if we were going to have any chance of successfully blasting one of those spy jobbers out of the sky. We also realized that at some point we will probably need some kind of gun, but that’s a problem for another day. We wondered how “drone hunting” plays when listed as the reason for purchase on a background check form. **** The first thing you see as you’re rolling into Deer Trail is a billboard by the highway declaring that the town was the site of the world’s first rodeo in 1869. The next thing you see is a Shell station. So we started there. The bathroom line was surprisingly, and disappointingly, long, a testament to
the town’s isolation and lack of similar public facilities. But the waiting did offer the opportunity to begin our research into drone hunting with our fellow fidgeters in the queue. It went something like this: “Hey there, we want to shoot down unmanned federal drones, and we hear this is the place to do it. Where do we go to get our names on the waiting list for a drone license?” It was instantly clear which folks in line were locals and which were merely sidelined travelers from I-70 whose bladders had forced an emergency Deer Trail detour. The locals rolled their eyes as if to say, “Oh boy, here we go again.” The visitors took a few quick steps back and stopped making eye contact. Guess if you weren’t aware that the town is actually mulling a very real initiative allowing the issuance of drone-hunting licenses, such a greeting could be a little off-putting. But the locals get it. Deer Trail is a pretty unique place. Sure, outsiders think it’s odd that the residents of this
hole-in-the-wall are embroiled in a debate over whether to sell hunting licenses that would make it legal to shoot down a $16.9 million unmanned federal aircraft, as long as it’s with a shotgun, but it’s in their blood to be different. After all, according to the rodeo sign by the highway, this is the first place in the world where somebody said, “Hey, I’ve got a good idea to pass the time. Why don’t we tie a strap around that big bull’s nuts to get him bucking, and then we’ll take turns riding him?” One local fellow finally offered up a conversation, saying, “I can see why you newspaper people think this is funny, and it could be if it weren’t for the guy who proposed it and the people trying to push it through. They’re serious about it.” After a little back and forth regarding the drone hunting license’s potential to raise revenue for the cashstrapped town, the man offered this suggestion: “We could build a tower by the old pool that doesn’t have water, and people driving by could stop and go up there and look for drones.” Sound farfetched? Remember, I-70 is the highway that has birthed such roadside attractions as the world’s largest prairie dog — a 20-foot-high cement likeness of the critter with chipped paint and steel bolts for eyes — see DRONES Page 20

and that makes money. Why not a drone observation tower? Our new friend pointed us to Town Hall for more info on the license. When we got to Town Hall, we were confronted by two signs. One read “Open” and the other said “Closed.” Unfortunately, the door agreed with the latter. It was a Friday morning, and the entire local government was MIA. Had the NSA gotten here first? We headed to the only eatery in town that was open, the Brown Derby, in hopes of locating the mayor or one of his minions. It wasn’t much like its namesake in Hollywood — celebrities were in short supply. Just for grins we checked Yelp. The first review opened with, “This place was scary!” In all fairness, we’re pretty sure Phillip Steel, the author of Deer Trail’s drone-hunting initiative, is said to live in this metal building, which has a tower in back and is surrounded by warnings to trespassers such as the one inset. the Yelp reviewer was a bit out of his element.

house resembling a Quonset hut that could have been designed from Popular Mechanics plans to thwart electronic surveillance. It is covered in metal sheets and surrounded by signs sporting a prominent skull and crossbones motif, informing visitors that they will be shot if they set foot on the property. But the coup de grâce is the 25-foot tower of pipe built off the back of the house, presumably to serve as a blind for blasting federal drones out of the sky. Seeing Steel’s homemade metal platform blind made us wonder exactly what type of blinds are actually the most effective for luring drones into shooting range. What could attract those high-flying robots close enough to nail with a 12-gauge? Our best guess is that it likely varies by region. What pulls a drone into progressive Boulder County might not work in, say, Mississippi or Yemen. In Boulder, if you want to get the attention of a federal drone, you probably need to cover your blind in subversive, lefty, activist cardboard placards with slogans like, “Don’t Frack My Town,” “Oil and Gas Companies Suck,” “#Occupy,” “Get Money Out of Politics,” “Global Warming Requires Action Now,” or “I’m an Environmentalist, and I Vote.” You get the idea. Such a drone blind would definitely get the attention of the National Security Agency (NSA) and all the other government acronyms in our neck see DRONES Page 22

ing the roof and front door. Perhaps its congregation wanted a deterrent to drone-sensor infiltration as well. In most places, this shiny feature would have seemed a bit odd, but it was becoming the norm in Deer Trail. No one was home at the hut church, so we headed back to town for better directions to the mayor’s house. We pulled up at the first place we came to, an auto repair shop called Awful A’s. Yes, we thought it was a pretty poor choice for a business name as well, but later on we discovered that it was simply run by a descendant of Awful John’s, a local institution that had since faded. When we found another place called Asshole’s Garage, Awful’s didn’t seem so bad. Two garages in town, Awful’s and Asshole’s. We wondered what the neighbors must think. Then we got an answer to that question. The house next door to Asshole’s garage proudly displays a sign in its picture window facing the street that reads, “Asshole’s neighbor.” You really can’t make this stuff up. The nice folks at Awful A’s pointed a mile or so down the road, instructing us to turn left when we could. Finally, we found Deer Trail Mayor Frank Field’s house. Above the front door was a large advertising sign for a business that was apparently being operated out of the mayor’s home. The sign read, “Fields Balloon and Party Supplies.” Seemed appropriate somehow. Once again, no one was home. The NSA theory was gaining steam. Where was everyone? A few feet from the mayor’s front door stood an oddly adorned mannequin, wielding a “Slow” sign. Had he been using it to bait a drone? Had something gone wrong? We searched the sky above. It was at this

point that we realized that we really weren’t all that sure what a drone actually looked like. More research was needed. We had previously seen a sign touting the presence of a town library, so we headed that way. We entered, momentarily considering the idea that we should be whispering, but quickly realized that — shocker — we were the
only patrons. We asked the librarians if we could see all of their books that had pictures of unmanned federal drones. Another surprise! They didn’t have any. Not one. How could this be? How could a town about to pass an initiative that would allow the hunting of drones within city limits not have a book in its library with a picture of a drone? This is a major safety issue.

f approved by the Deer Trail Board of Trustees on Aug. 6, the sevenpage ordinance drone-shooting ordinance drafted by Phillip Steel would: • allow the town to issue hunting licenses for $25 each, permitting the holder to shoot at drones only within Deer Trail; • permit only the use of shotguns that are 12-gauge or less, with barrel lengths of 18 inches or greater and shot sizes between 2 and 7.5; • require the licenses to be issued anonymously, without background checks and with no record of the data kept; • allow licenses to be issued only to people age 21 or older who can read and understand English; • only allow shooting at windowless drones flying lower than 1,000 feet that do not have any apparent means of entry for a human being, including fixed
wing, rotary wing or a combination of the two; • require the use of optical equipment like binoculars for drones flying between 300 feet and 1,000 feet, and prohibiting the use of such aids for the aircraft when they are less than 300 feet above the ground; • require those who accidentally shoot down remote-controlled toy aircraft to reimburse the owner for its full cost; • only allow shooting upwards, in directions that are within 20 degrees of an axis perpendicular to the ground; • reward individuals $25 for a piece of a drone, such as a wing or the fuselage, with identifiable markings; • reward individuals with $100 if they bring down a full drone, defined as a drone that can have a missing or damaged nose or tail section, but not both.

Think about it. What if some poor fool pulled off the highway in one of those stainless-steel DeLoreans and popped up those gull-wing doors? It would likely cause a hail of gunfire to rain down from the blinds of poorly informed, overzealous drone hunters who had no clue what a real drone looks like. You’ve got to ask yourself, without books with pictures of drones for people to study before getting their dronehunting license, is hunting these things in the middle of town really a good idea? Will everybody and their dogs, literally, be forced to wear ugly orange hats and vests just to go outside in Deer Trail? One librarian joked that residents with flying dogs should keep them indoors when drones are in season. Despite grasping the humor of Deer Trail’s situation, she also lamented that her town, which is in desperate need of positive publicity because it was decimated by a massive flood in 1965 that wiped out the business district, leaving it economically crippled ever since, has been reduced to trying to issue drone hunting licenses as a means to drive badly needed tax revenue. Just as we were preparing to leave, an older lady wandered into the library. When asked about the drone proposal, she responded, “I think it’s asinine. You don’t know what else it could bring in. It could bring in crazies. It could endanger our children.” When asked if she felt threatened by the prospect of being shot by a drone, she replied, “No, but I might be in danger of someone shooting me see DRONES Page 24

with a shotgun.” **** Undeterred, we returned a final time to Town Hall, which still proclaimed that it was open and closed. The door was still locked, so in utter desperation, we finally wrote our names on a piece of paper, requesting that we be placed at the top of the waiting list for a drone-hunting license. Then we pushed it through the mail slot that was normally reserved for paying municipal utility bills, onto the Town Hall floor. Whether or not we will ever get to flop down our $25 for a drone hunting license is now in the hands of the good people of Deer Trail and, to some degree, the feds. And if the local government doesn’t adopt the initiative, Steel only needs 25 signatures to put it on the November ballot for a vote of the entire town. He claims to already have 28 signatures, making the vote a given.
Since our return from Deer Trail, the Federal Aviation Administration has made a formal statement regarding Deer Trail’s drone-hunting escapades. In a news report issued by the Associated Press that ran in major newspapers across the country (think about that for a moment), the federal agency stated that a drone “hit by gunfire could crash, causing damage to persons or property on the ground, or it could collide with other objects in the air. Shooting at an unmanned aircraft could result in criminal or civil liability, just as would firing at a manned airplane.” According to the report, Steel’s response to the FAA warning was to say, “I don’t want to live in a surveillance society. I don’t feel like being in a virtual prison. … This is a pre-emptive strike. … The FAA doesn’t have the power to make a law.” We don’t like the idea of living in a “surveillance society” either. Keep our names at the top of that waiting list. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com Boulder Weekly

raditional bluegrass does not include any kind of electronic components or a modern-day drum kit, but its history throughout the United States and its improvisational nature has proven time and time again that bluegrass is one of the most complicated genres to perform. At its very essence, bluegrass captivates audiences with a powerful spell that sucks you into a tranquil state of nostalgia. The time has come again for bluegrass’s top artists to descend on Planet Bluegrass in Lyons for the 41st rops olate D the headliners RockyGrass Festival, which runs from a Choc Carolin at RockyGrass.

the town, RockyGrass and the Folks Festival in August at Planet Bluegrass are the two biggest weekends of the year socially and economically. “This town is so full of [bluegrass] every other week of the year as well, but even more so this week,” says Ian Rubenoff, the chef of the Lyons Fork restaurant located a couple blocks from Planet Bluegrass. “There are endless opportunities for businesses to make money and do things during the festival, so it’s really a plus for everyone.” The atmosphere of RockyGrass is special, but a festival is only as good as the artists who play it. From Tim O’Brien to the Sam Bush Bluegrass Band to the Carolina Chocolate Drops to Jerry Douglas and the Del McCoury Band, RockyGrass is full of some of the biggest names in the genre. “It’s the right amount of pressure [for the artists] to give an extraordinary performance, because they can be relaxed and still recognize that this one of see ROCKYGRASS Page 28

he plays of William Shakespeare (not to be confused with the plays of Paco “Shaky” Shakespeare of Walla Walla) fall into four categories: comedies, tragedies, histories and problem plays — and yes, for the more bookish out there I am rolling the romances into the problem play category. The natures of the first three types of play are rather self-explanatory, and the only “problem” with those of the last type is that they don’t fit neatly into any one of the other three rubrics. The comedies, such as A Midsummer Night’s Dream or Much Ado About Nothing, are lighthearted Jamie Ann Romero as Queen Isabel, left, and Chip Persons as Richard II. romps akin to today’s sitcoms or rom-coms. The tragedies, like Macbeth or Romeo and Juliet, share DNA with our era’s dramas and melodramas. The histories, among them Henry VIII and Richard III, are decidedly more documentary-like and would have felt right at home on Richard II begins with King Richard the History Channel before it history in general. (Chip Persons) arbitrating a dispute became a wasteland of reality TV dreck. Some people complain that between Thomas Mowbray (Geoffrey The final play of this year’s Shakespeare’s drier-than-a-Bond-marKent) and Henry Bolingbroke (Steven Colorado Shakespeare Festival, Richard tini histories lack the entertainment Cole Hughes). Each man accuses the II, marks the beginning of an audacious value of the tragedies or comedies, and other of treason, and Richard ultimately plan by the CSF to produce, in frankly, there is some truth to that decides the best solution is to banish order, the entire gripe.

has done, Bolingbroke amasses an army of Richard’s enemies and erstwhile friends and returns to England to take back his title, lands and wealth. After a nearly bloodless coup, Richard is forced to relinquish the crown, and Bolingbroke becomes the new king. As is the way of things, the deposed Richard is soon thereafter murdered. The cast of Richard II, especially the central actors, is an all-star team. Though his stage time is limited as Mowbray, Geoffrey Kent, as always, demonstrates a natural, focused acting style. Lawrence Hecht, who gives a brilliantly against-type performance as Puck in this year’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, also impresses here, especially in Gaunt’s final scene with the king. In smaller roles, Jamie Ann Romero displays passion and intelligence as Queen Isabel, and Sam Gregory gets to show off his snide side as the Earl of Northumberland. As King Richard, Chip Persons grows the character throughout the play until the entitled opportunist is replaced by a supremely human and sympathetic outcast. The one complaint I have about Richard II may be laid at the feet of a Russian. To paraphrase Chekhov’s (the author, not the ensign) “gun rule,” if a play introduces a gun in the first act, that gun simply must be fired by the end of the story. In Richard II, duels are offered and accepted on not one but several occasions, and though one such duel is mere moments away from commencing, no duel ever occurs. Call me a Philistine, but a little bloodletting would liven up this otherwise talky, subdued historical account. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

Frequent Flyers celebrates 15th Aerial Dance Festival by David Accomazzo
D
ue to the altitudinal nature of aerial dance, Frequent Flyers Productions founder Nancy Smith says the spaces where her company can rehearse and train around Boulder are limited. One of those spaces is the Black Box Theatre on the CU campus, and on a Monday night just six days before her company will perform at the 15th annual Aerial Dance Festival, the dancers are working out the kinks of the choreography and even now are trying out new things. “I have an idea,” announces David Clarkson, cofounder of the Australia-based Stalker Theatre Company that is collaborating with Frequent Flyers for a performance called Mapping, on Saturday, July 27, at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. Four slings hang roughly 20 feet off the ground, with secondary loops hanging off maybe 8 feet up. Clarkson instructs the dancers to hang from their feet with their arms flat to their sides. The dancers effortlessly scale the slings and suspend themselves. (One comments on how good being upside down feels.) Then Clarkson tells the dancers to spin themselves around in circles as fast as they can. As they do, the image projected on the giant screen behind them — a mercurial, moving image, like grains of sand in an earthquake — begins to roil and swell, parts of the image spinning in time to the dancers’ movements. Clarkson observes for a minute then thanks the dancers, and they take a break. Clarkson was testing out the technology behind the dancers, a motion-based, interactive fluid simulaBoulder Weekly
tion designed and adapted for performance by fellow Australian Andrew Johnston. “This particular simulation was designed for [video] games,” Johnston says, noting that he took an open-source program and “hacked” it in the name of performing arts. Aerial dance is a different type of modern dance in which performers soar Susan France through the air, aided by apparatuses such as fabric, rings, low-flying trapeze, static trapeze and more. The collaboration between Frequent Flyers and Stalker is emblematic of the Aerial Dance Festival. For 15 years now, Frequent Flyers has invited the top talent in aerial dance to come to Boulder for a few weeks during the summer for a series of performances, workshops and classes. In fact, Clarkson first attended the festival as a student more than a decade ago, and Smith asked him to return the next year as a teacher. This year marks the seventh time he’s visited Boulder. It’s been a long flight for Frequent Flyers, which is celebrating 25 years as a company. When Smith, trained in ground-based movement, first saw aerial
dance, it was love at first sight. “I was with a dance company in Seattle and I moved to Boulder, and I went back to visit and one of the people I danced with was doing an aerial show,” Smith says. “Once I saw it, I knew I had to do it.” She locked herself in a studio for months and experimented with the form. Soon, she started inviting friends to come play in her studio, and in 1988, she founded Frequent Flyers. She realized what drew her about aerial dance appealed to others as well. “Aerial work is accessible, and exciting, and compelling to the point where people who wouldn’t go to dance concerts would come out and fall in love with us,” Smith says. “Men tend to watch what we do more than most traditional modern dance, I think, because of the physicality,” she says. “That’s one of the things that I realized early on in the company, where I realized that we might make it, because we were drawing a nontraditional dance audience.” see UPWARD Page 36

UPWARD from Page 35 Susan France
Smith’s first risk came when she designed a performance for the Boulder Theater, called Theatre of the Vampires, based on the novels of Anne Rice. It was a risk, she admits, because if the company hadn’t sold any tickets, the company would have gone under then and there. But it was a roaring success, selling out and drawing repeat patrons. Smith knew she had something special. The grace and strength of aerial dancers is apparent to all, Smith says. Everyone can relate to the desire to fly through the air, to feel weightless. “Almost everyone can appreciate the amount of strength that’s required. We have an aesthetic that’s effortlessness. ... Dancers make stuff look easy,” Smith says. “I think that’s what an audience responds to. They know that it’s hard and yet we make it look really beautiful and easy. “Beyond that, I think everybody’s had the experience of floating in utero, of weightlessness. I think there’s an element of flying and spinning and swinging that actually has that feeling in it,
that everyone can connect with.” Now, Frequent Flyers hosts 13 dancers as permanent members of the troupe and offers classes for everyone from beginners to professionals. They perform roughly 30 shows a year, and with the addition of a new portable apparatus from which the dancers can suspend themselves, Smith imagines the company will be performing much more in the future. For now, the focus is on the upcoming festival. Clarkson says that Mapping is very much a work-in-progress, a continuation of a three-year experiment his company has conducted with interactive technology. “I think it is a very strong future with theater and dance,” Clarkson says of technology. “It’s a new addition to the palette.” “Theater is ultimately dealing with universal truths,” Clarkson states, turning the conversation toward the vast amounts of data being produced every day all over the world. “[We are] looking for meaning behind all this information.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com Boulder Weekly

Thursday, July 25: Purple Squirrel, The Laughing Goat, 8 p.m. We’ve never seen a purple squirrel, but we will tell you that Boulder’s own Purple Squirrel is a band that you should check out. Sitting somewhere in between funk, acid jazz and the jam bands that are ever so popular in Colorado, Purple Squirrel executes its style at the highest level. Featuring Chris Malley on guitar, Bob Schlesinger on keyboard, Mark Diamond on bass and Christian Teele on drums, the group takes an untraditional approach to music in comparison to a lot of bands today. They read off of sheet music — a testament to their musicianship.

Friday, July 26: Steve Conn, eTown Hall, 6 p.m. Steve Conn has been around the block. His huge, soulful voice has brought him from Louisiana to Los Angeles and everywhere in between. Now he is returning to Boulder to grace the eTown Hall stage. But that’s not to say Conn doesn’t have a history with eTown. When the radio program started in 1991, Conn played in the house band. To warm up the crowd, Mollie O’Brien and Rich Moore will play their own brand of folk that Boulderites know and love. O’Brien has been featured on A Prairie Home Companion and is a strong solo performer.
Wednesday, July 31: Sparrows, Chautauqua Auditorium, 7:30 p.m. The classic silent Mary Pickford film — of kidnapping and infanticide — is playing with a real live piano accompaniment by Hank Troy. The movie begins when a child is brought to a “baby farm” for safe-keeping until a ransom is received. When the owner of the land decides to drop the children in the alligator-infested swamp nearby, Pickford’s character, Molly, must find a way to save the children and find the kidnapper.

ecause the world needs the palpable sexuality of John Malkovich and Helen Mirren on screen together, here comes Red 2. You’d never know from the inspired title, but it’s actually a sequel to the film Red, which was something of a sleeper hit, and not just because it starred actors old enough to go narcoleptic mid-interview. The key to making a movie that absolutely nobody needs and very few actually demand is to keep things loosey goosey. Things don’t get much looser or goosier than what writers Jon and Erich Hoeber and director Dean Parisot just did. Assuming the ending of Red hasn’t penetrated popular culture to the point of memorization: The film resolved with ex-C.I.A. superhero Frank (Bruce Willis) opting for domesticated bliss with Sarah (MaryLouise Parker), a delightful “normal.” However, Marvin ( John Malkovich) shows up to tell the blissful-butbored couple that their lives are in danger because of one of the countless cases Frank worked on once. The danger comes in the form of two hitmen who are called in. Well, one hitman and one hit-Dame, as Han (Byung-hun Lee) and Victoria (Helen Mirren) are tasked with offing Frank. To save himself, Frank must find Bailey (Anthony Hopkins), a wacky scientist, with the help of Katja (Catherine Zeta-Jones), Frank’s former flame and femme fatale. Things are so casual, if you look carefully, there’s a good chance Malkovich is wearing his house slippers. Unfortunately, Parker didn’t get the “breezy” memo and takes a
detour towards manic, which explains Malkovich’s occasional looks of jealousy. Mirren is typical Mirren, demure and badass; it helps she has the single best comedy bit, mocking herself. Meanwhile, Willis was sculpted into a leading man from television clay by the movie gods just to star in films that allow him to alternate between shooting and smirking. Red 2 looks like the most fun he’s had since Ashton Kutcher left his life. What’s nice is that Red 2 actually brings a considerable amount of action with it. Adding Lee opened up high-speed martial arts absent from the first film. It has solid car chases, well-choreographed gun battles, and Parker and Malkovich duking it out in an unspoken silly hat contest that leaves no prisoners. The busy-ness of it all helps disguise the fact that the plot is just remarkably lazy and steals liberally from other films of its ilk. Everyone on screen seems to know that, to the point where a credit cookie with the leads breaking the fourth wall and apologizing for the writing wouldn’t be out of place. Red 2 has no reason to be. But in the pantheon of unnecessary sequels, it floats to the top of the chum-filled pack. Watching talented folks like this have a genuinely good time is contagious, and given the late-summer tsunami of mediocrity we’re swimming in, simply having reason to smile a bit feels like a decent victory.

verflowing plates of hearty brunch food, tart Arnold Palmers in mason jars and silverware wrapped in mismatched cloth napkins crowd the tables shared by college students and older Boulder residents at The Buff. It’s hard not to feel at home in the restaurant that’s become a Boulder staple — and the $1 mimosas and Bloody Marys don’t hurt. And due to delays with city building permits, Boulder residents will have a few more months at “home” at The Buff before the restaurant completes a relocation it has planned since April. After 18 years serving skillets and Dirty Hippies at 1725 28th St., The Buff owners will uproot their familyoriented business and move to a new home across the street. Plans to demolish the hotel next door and the current building housing The Buff to make room for a new hotel and retail complex had haunted co-owner Jacquie Meyer and her husband and coowner Chris since 2006. When the market crashed in 2008, the plans stalled, giving the restaurant a few more years in its original location. This year the plans are finally being put into action, forcing the restaurant to relocate rather than close for renovations. “I think we knew that it was imminent deep down inside, that something might happen sometime, and I think we were also in just total denial,” Meyer says. “You know, the older you get, the more difficult change can be.” Because The Buff is a mom-and-pop business in the truest sense, the restaurant could not afford to be closed for an extended period while the demolition
“We’re going to do everything we possibly can,” Meyer says. “For us, it’s devastating that we’re going to have to be moving in the first place, so the general idea is, ‘Let’s just do this and take it over there.’ We’re going to repurpose; we’re going to recycle; we’re going to reuse everything we can, as beat-up and broken-down as it is.” Meyer hoped to open the new doors in mid-August, but hold-ups by the city on the building permits have made that goal impossible. Because building permits are required for “any construction that physically changes or adds structures to [a] property,” according to the Boulder County website, The Buff owners had to go through the city for approval before starting construction. This process has slowed recently, delaying the plans for the new restaurant. “We’re over 60 days behind right now,” Meyer says. “We’ll be 90 days behind, and we have a lot to do, because our goal is to get the same feel in that big huge box over there as to what we have right now.” The Meyers are paying rent at both locations right now, making every day delayed more costly. Because of revenue concerns, Meyer says she hopes to keep the number of days that The Buff is closed to a minimum. “We don’t even want to be closed for one day, if that’s at all possible,” Meyer says. “Our goal is to close in the afternoon and then open the new doors at the new place.” The Buff will operate at its original location until it is possible for the restaurant to move into its new space or the building is closed for demolition.

and construction occurred. To avoid losing revenue, The Buff will move to a new location across the street, at 2600 Canyon Blvd., a building that once housed The Original Pancake House and The BlackEyed Pea. While the move isn’t ideal, Meyer says the restaurant will have the same atmosphere as the original location. To ensure this, the restaurant plans to remodel the inside of the new location, giving it a homier feel.

Twinkies return with a vengeance
In what was a surprise to nearly no one in Boulder, a new study released by the Colorado Public Interest Research Group confirmed what many believed to be true already: Government food subsidies support cash crops more than they do healthy foods. The report, entitled Apples to Twinkies 2013, reports that about 70 percent of government food subsidies go to only about 3 percent of American farms. The study also reveals that 17 of a Twinkie’s 37 ingredients are created or harvested with the help of government subsidy programs.

here’s little doubt spicy cocktails have found a place on many menus. So Boulder Weekly sought the thoughts of several bartenders, mixologists and general managers around Boulder to find out what appeals to drinkers about spicy cocktails and whether capsaicin, chili peppers’ spicy chemical, is too hot to handle. For Tyler Anderson, a mixologist at Abby Faires The Kitchen [Upstairs], spicy drinks are just fun to make. “That’s one of my favorite things to do, is make spicy cocktails,” he says. “To tell you the truth, it’s kind of like an adventure. It’s kind of testing the waters.” And he says that enthusiasm is mirrored in his guests. “I love to use Serrano peppers,” Anderson says. “You add that in to the cocktails and people just go crazy about it. “I think it’s kind of a little bit dangerous, a little bit out of the ordinary,” he says, “and people like to live dangerously sometimes.” Alan Henkin, a general manager and co-owner of Basta in Boulder, says the Italian restaurant doesn’t currently have any spicy cocktails. He says chili peppers are just too inconsistent for him to use them confidently in drinks. “All chilis vary quite a bit in terms of their heat, and it’s really hard to know exactly how it’s going to come out as far as the heat level,” he says. “And then of course each person is more or less sensitive than others. So you can easily get drinks sent back.” Q’s and The Corner Bar bartender and Beverage Director Adrian Sutevski says he doesn’t have drinks sent back, but staff is instructed to quality-test the jalapeños they use in drinks, and that can result in some unpleasant spiciness and discarded drinks. But Sutevski credits the quality testing for keeping the spice regulated in the three spicy drinks currently on the menu at Q’s,
which include a new cocktail that uses vodka from Boulder’s J&L Distilling, muddled cucumber, ginger and basil simple syrup, soda and, of course, jalapeño. Anderson admits he has to deal with the unpredictability of peppers. “Absolutely. That’s what I always tell someone ordering something like that: ‘Just to let you know, one out of eight [times], you’re going to be breathing through your mouth pretty heavily,’” he says. “I think that’s part of the adventure, that’s part of the fun. If it’s really hot, it’s added flavor. “For the most part, people who order spicy cocktails know exactly what they’re getting into,” he adds. “That’s why they order it. I mean, I’ve had people sit at my bar and ask for Tabasco sauce to put in their whiskey drink.” At Q’s, Sutevski has seen the same phenomenon: Some customers treat hot drinks like a challenge. “That does happen,” he says. “I don’t encourage that from myself or from my staff, to push them to the limit, but if the table, if they have that kind of interaction between themselves as guests, it happens. … I’ve done it myself when I was younger.” Henkin says there’s a greater chance he will make spicy cocktails in the future if there’s progress in how the spice is delivered. “I think we’ll start seeing — and they probably exist already — some sort of bitters that involve the heat,” he says, “where you know you have a consistent level of that spice and you can use an eyedropper and you could hit that cocktail with that one eyedropper and you know that it’s not going to ever take it over the top, it’s always going to be at a nice safe level. Whereas once you throw a chili pepper into a Boston shaker and you start muddling, you’re asking for trouble. It could get out of control very fast.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com Boulder Weekly

beer tour
Baby beers at BRU by Steve Weishampel
T
he beer with lunch. In my non-scientific survey of the Boulder workforce, roughly 100 percent of Boulder’s workers have experienced it. But many are unaware of the dangers of the beer with lunch. Sure, you think everything’s under control — you’ll just head to an old favorite like Mountain Sun or Avery, or check out a new brewpub like West Flanders or this week’s visit, BRU Handbuilt Ales and Eats. Steve Weishampel You’ll try a beer with your food and be on your way, no problem. But next thing you know, it’s 3 p.m., you’re back at the office and your brain is moving so slowly it might win an award from the Danish Film Institute. Yes, just one beer in the middle of the day can shut you down for the afternoon like a 5-Hour Energy commercial. It’s happened to us here more than once, and it’s had some very sad consequences: When we get a beer with lunch, I catch myself reading the ABVs on the menu more closely than I do the beers’ styles. That’s just wrong. Enter the 9-ounce pour. Our noon lunch at BRU prominently features the baby beers, just over half the size of a typical 16-ounce pint glass. (I have a sneaking suspicion some breweries around Boulder use pint glasses smaller than 16 ounces, and one day I’ll bring a measuring cup and a funnel with me into taprooms, but that’s all for another time.) BRU offers most of its beers in both 16- and 9-ounce pours, aside from some Belgians in 10-ounce tulip glasses. The 9-ounce might look a little silly, but if it does what it suggests
it’ll do — let you get a beer with lunch and let you accomplish something afterward — it’ll be well worth it. So naturally I didn’t get one. What, you think I’m sacrificing 7 ounces of beer in order to do more work? No, I got a full 16 of BRU’s light, delicious, yeasty saison, a collaboration between two of BRU’s chefs, Jason Brown and Josh Monopoli. The beer, brewed with tangerines, continues BRU owner Ian Clark’s pattern of incorporating added ingredients into beer, like honey, black pepper, dates and sour cherries. But Elizabeth tried the 9 with her Citrum IPA, brewed with juniper and lemon zest. Despite her initial reaction — “Umm, can I get a sippy top for this?” — afterward she says she “did snap out of it faster,” which is good because she dashed off to an interview after lunch. Me and Jeff, not so much. When he was done with his 10-ounce pour of Beezel, BRU’s sweet, relatively highly carbonated golden strong ale — probably my favorite of theirs — Jeff and I made the decidedly not-industrious decision to go for two. Jeff ’s patersbier — yes, that’s father’s beer, a lighter Belgian style — is a smooth, easydrinking summer beer; my Arium Dubbel is an excellent cherry-yeast blend. Offering the 9-ounce pour is a very nice gesture on BRU’s part. I’m sure it will be appreciated by many patrons with greater self-control than I. But when the server comes around and asks to take the menus, especially with a beer lineup like BRU’s, I’m keeping a beer list. Work be damned. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com Boulder Weekly

Dear Dan: I am a straight woman who has been with my fiancé off and on for 12 years. I have broken up with him repeatedly, each time after two years of being together, but we always end up back together. The two-year point seems to be when I become so incredibly soul-crushed by our sexless relationship that I have to end it. Why is our relationship sexless? He is possibly asexual, my attraction to him is limited, he roughhouses and I am afraid he will hurt me, and he is crap in bed when we do have sex. But I love him, I treasure our history, and I would love for our families to merge. I essentially can’t live without him. I had the opportunity recently to get sexual attention outside the relationship, and now I can see living a life with my partner while having a separate sex life that involves other people. This is something he would never agree to. I am currently trying to examine my morals to see if I can be OK with this arrangement. It is the only thing I can think of that will allow me to stay with him. —Wondering If Faithfulness Endures Dear WIFE: Would it be a good idea to marry a possibly asexual man you don’t find attractive, a guy who’s lousy in bed on those rare occasions when you do have sex, because you could see yourself being happy with him … so long as you can wrap your morals around lying to him for the next three or four decades? Don’t do it. The amount of stress that will pile up over the years — all that working to convince him that you’re not only not having sex with him, WIFE, but that you’re not having sex with anyone else either — will soon outweigh the stress of one knock-down, drag-out, openand-honest conversation about the role of sex in your marriage. But instead of saying, “I’ll marry you, but only if I can fuck other people,” go with this instead: “Sex has never really been important to us as a couple. It doesn’t define our connection, honey, and it never has.” Then tell him that you won’t consider any sex that happens outside the marriage — so long as it is safe and com-
Love
pletely discreet — grounds for divorce. Hopefully he’ll agree, WIFE. If not, don’t marry him. Dear Dan: In your response to FURFAG last week, the guy who has been in an online relationship with another furry guy who he has never met, you focused on their need to meet in person at least once (to confirm their connection) before moving across the country to be with each other. Good advice for someone in a similar circumstance, perhaps, but I believe you focused on the wrong part of FURFAG’s letter. His real problem was revealed in the last part of his letter: “Sex doesn’t hold a big interest for me, and porn doesn’t do ANYTHING for me — gay, straight, it’s like watching a sweaty, breathy anatomy class. I’ve never even masturbated. Am I going about this wrong?” That just screams POSSIBLE MEDICAL ISSUE. A 21-year-old man who is not aroused by visual stimuli and has never masturbated? This man needs to see his doctor and get referrals to an endocrinologist and a urologist. It is not normal for a 21-yearold man to have no sexual urges. (I know the asexuals will skewer me for this, but until someone has explored all possible medical and psychological explanations for a disinterest in sex, then I have to politely disagree with their assessment of their sexual orientation. The only places in nature where you find completely asexual creatures are in hive communities where there is a queen that does all the reproducing.) The likelihood of FURFAG having a spark with his online boyfriend when they do finally meet is nil if he didn’t find that spark with a gym sock at age 12. —Get That Checked
Sex has never really been important to us as a couple. It doesn’t define our connection, honey, and it never has.

TAURUS
SCORPIO
“There are some things you learn best in calm, and some in storm,” wrote the novelist Willa Cather. According to my reading of the astrological omens, Taurus, you’re in a phase of your cycle when storm-learning isn’t your priority. The educational experiences you need most will unfold when you’re exploring the mysteries of peace and serenity. In fact, I suspect that the deeper you relax, the more likely it is that you will attract life-changing teachings — lessons that can transform your life for the better and fuel you for a long time.
Let’s try an experiment. It’s risky, but I’m hoping you will do it with such flair that there will be no karmic blowback. What I propose, Scorpio, is that you have fun expressing more confidence than usual. I invite you to strut a bit, even swagger, as you demonstrate your command over your circumstances. Enjoy acting as if the world is your plaything … as if everyone around you secretly needs you to rise up and be a bigger, bolder version of yourself. The trick, of course, will be to avoid getting puffed up with grandiose delusions. Your challenge is to be more wildly devoted to embodying your soul’s code without lapsing into arrogance.

CANCER
I suspect that you are longing to take a quantum leap of faith, but are also afraid to take that quantum leap of faith. You sense the potential of experiencing a very cool expansion, while at the same time you hesitate to leave your comfort zone and give up your familiar pain. In light of the conflict, which may not be entirely conscious, I suggest you hold off on making a gigantic quantum leap of faith. Instead, experiment with a few bunny hops of faith. Build up your courage with some playful skips and skitters and bounces that incrementally extend your possibilities.
Is there a message you’ve wanted to deliver for a long time but haven’t been able to? Are you bursting with thoughts or feelings that you’ve been longing to express but can’t find the right way to do so? Have you spent months carrying around a poignant truth that you have felt wasn’t ripe enough to be revealed? If your answer to any of those questions is yes, I believe the time will soon be at hand to make a move. But it’s important that you’re not impulsive or melodramatic as you initiate your breakthrough communications. For best results, be full of grace and balance.
June 21-July 22:
Bees and other insects can see ultraviolet light, which is invisible to humans. When they look at flowers, they detect designs on the petals that you and I cannot. For example, the evening primrose appears completely yellow to us, but it calls seductively to bees with a flashy star pattern at its center. Many of the secret signs that flowers offer the pollinators are meant to guide them to where the pollen and nectar are. Let’s use this as our metaphor of the week, Cancerian. I am not predicting that you will be able to perceive a broader spectrum of light. But I do believe you will discern cues and clues that are hidden from most people and that have been imperceptible to you in the past.
LEO
July 23-Aug. 22:
“I was 6 years old when my parents told me that there was a small, dark jewel inside my skull, learning to be me.” So said the Leo science fiction writer Greg Egan in his story “Learning to Be Me.” Let’s pretend that you, too, have a small dark jewel inside your skull that’s learning to be you. It’s a good metaphor for what I believe has been happening all these years: You have been gradually mastering the art of being the best Leo you can be. It hasn’t been easy. You weren’t born knowing how to be your beautiful, radiant, courageous self, but have had to work hard to activate your potentials. Now you’re moving into an especially critical phase of the process: a time when you have the chance to learn how to love yourself with greater ingenuity.
VIRGO
Aug. 23-Sept. 22:
“Dear Astrology Guy: Please tell me why I have to work so hard — meditate, reflect, read, analyze, poke, prod, investigate — to discover truths about myself that must be obvious to others. Why is it so hard for me to see where I need healing and where I need to let go? Why is it such an ordeal to grasp what is interfering with my wholeness when I can quickly pinpoint what other people’s issues are? –Overworked Virgo.” Dear Overworked: I’m happy to report that you Virgos will soon be offered a gush of revelations about who you are, how you can heal, and what strategies will best serve your quest to minimize

Hoaxes exposed! Bluffs called! Secrets revealed! Whitewashes uncovered! Curses banished! Taboos broken! Those are the headlines I expect to see emblazoned in your Book of Life during the coming weeks. Can you handle that many holy disruptions? Will you be able to deal with the stress that might come from having so much raucous success? These are important questions, because if you’re not up to the challenge, you may scare away the transformations. So steel your resolve, Capricorn. Mobilize your will. Do what’s necessary to harvest the unruly blessings.
AQUARIUS
Jan. 20-Feb. 18:
The French novelist Flaubert declared that if you hope to write a book, you should first read 1,500 books. A Roman author named Petronius believed that the imagination does not work at its peak power unless it is inundated with reading material. I suggest you adopt their advice and apply it to your own field, Aquarius. Whatever skill or subject you want to master, expose yourself lavishly to the efforts of other people who have already mastered it. Flood yourself with well-crafted inspiration.

Feb. 19-March 20:
Should you be worried that a venomous spider has crawled into your shoe while you were sleeping? Just in case, should you flip your shoe upside-down before putting it on each morning? My studied opinion: hell, no. The chances of you being bitten on the foot by a venomous spider lurking in your shoe are even less than the possibility that you will be abducted by an alien who looks like Elvis Presley and forced to sing a karaoke version of Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” at an extraterrestrial bar. And if you are going around filled with delusional anxieties like that, you will definitely interfere with life’s current predilection, which is to give you a cleansing respite from your fears as well as immunity from harm.

EEDBETWEENTHELINES

Getting high goes high-tech
Y
ou still smoke weed? That’s adorable. How quaint. Boulder’s more dedicated stoners rarely smoke actual marijuana. They smoke “oil.” (Oil also goes by wax, butter, shatter and unusual spellings like “errl.”) Some say these concentrates are dangerous. Others say they’re an improvement on marijuana and hash. They’re definitely different: While the old hash was made with water, the new hash oils are usual- Bradley Melshenker, 710 Labs ly made with butane. And as producers have embraced technology and chemical solvents, hash oil’s popularity has exploded. “I get more calls about oil or wax than I do about weed,” says Aaron Shaw, owner of Boulder RX, a dispensary on the Pearl Street Mall. Oil hits are called “dabs” because of a common practice. The oil is “dabbed” onto special bong-attachment hardware that’s been preheated with a blowtorch, like a crème-brulee torch. The oil vaporizes instantly; you inhale through a glass dome or straw. Coughing ensues. Hopefully you don’t vomit. Then you’re outrageously high for hours. The buzz has generated a “dab culture” with its own events and a roving party bus giving out free dabs in Denver. And it must be boosting Colorado’s torch sales. (You’re welcome, crème-brulee torch industry.) You can also smoke hash oil without a blowtorch. You don’t even need a lighter to use vaporizer pens, the electronic cigarettes containing hash oil “cartridges.” They’re conveniently discreet, with hardly any smell or smoke. Push a button, and the “atomizer” heats the pen enough to boil the oil inside. Pens can be charged with a USB cord. Plugged into your laptop, they’re a technological leap from a doobie.
The pens almost make butane lighters obsolete — but not butane itself. Butane is used to concentrate marijuana’s chemical compounds. Then it hopefully gets burned off, leaving the concentrated cannabinoids. But varying levels of butane remain, raising concerns. Local dispensary The Farm has taken a firm stance against butane hash oil. (It offers “CO2 oil” instead.) Research on butane’s effects is scarce. So discerning patients are looking for the cleanest concentrates, Shaw says. Wax Machine used to make hash oil. sales have fallen, while “shatter” sales have exploded, because patients recognize that butane is more effectively purged from the glassy amber sheets. And new extractor machines are constantly being developed. “Our new machine recycles the butane that’s used,” says Brad Melshenker, who owns Boulder dispensary The Greenest Green. His newest facility, 710 Labs, just became the first licensed by the city of Boulder to make butane hash oil, he says. “The city was very cautious in licensing us,” he says. The process took 10 months, involving the fire department, safety engineers, a scientist and an industrial hygienist. Because butane is explosive, extraction safety is a concern noted even by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). “Explosions in residences and hotels around the country,” FEMA warned in February, “are being traced back to a process: using butane to extract and concentrate compounds from marijuana.” But butane extraction can be done safely, according to Melshenker. The new 710 Labs use “research N-butane,” he says, because it’s more refined than the butane in lighters. (The city does not regulate
the grade of butane, but it does require that his oil machine be “ETL or UL listed,” a safety credential required on most industrial equipment.) “Some call it extract art,” Melshenker says. “I think of it as science. My passion has changed from the flowers. Oil just has more flavor.” Melshenker says it’s not necessarily about getting higher. His facility may soon produce a less-potent oil variety that simply tastes better than marijuana. At Boulder RX, some patients have found oil more effective at treating their pain, Shaw says. Most dispensaries send their trim (resin-coated leaves) to separate processing companies that produce their hash oil. Facilities process several pounds every day in a constant struggle to “feed the machine.” And appetites for oil keep growing. Earlier this month, Denver hosted the 710 Cup, where those who enjoy concentrates could congregate. At a separate sampling party called “Dabs of Denver,” crowds were told they were making history by celebrating the new 4/20 — on 7/10. It’s a more refined holiday, with less actual weed. Why? If you look at 710 upside down, it spells OIL. (It’s marketing magic — oil and gas executives must be kicking themselves for not discovering this holiday first.) The hash oil business is booming. Some call it the evolution of the marijuana industry. Maybe this industry isn’t that different from others that handle crops and medicines: As processes grow more efficient, products bear less resemblance to plants. Now there are vaporizers you can plug into your computer, and machines that churn out great quantities of hash oil daily. Soon, there may be pills with only a single cannabinoid (of the dozens in marijuana) isolated in a lab. Why stop there? Maybe we’ll see vaporizing zip drives and smartphone apps, or plug-in air-fresheners that infuse your living room with hash oil vapor. As the industry grows more sophisticated, the possibilities are endless. Maybe, someday, the businesses will even be allowed to have bank accounts. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com Leland Rucker is taking a well deserved break. He will be back to writing this column next week.
