Need more facts (Re: “Local food shift,” cover story, Aug. 25.) Mr. Brownlee wrote, “The idea that farmers can grow whatever they want to grow, using whatever methods or technology they choose, and then sell their products anywhere they want or can is an artifact of an era that produced devastating long-term climate change and the greatest planetary extinction of 60 million years.” This statement implies that governments have the right to control what farmers grow, the technology they use, and [their ability] to sell their products where they want, for the greater good of a community. The last time I checked, this is communism. Also, what facts does Mr. Brownlee have to back up his implication that conventional farming is one of the major causes of climate change and extinction? Mr. Brownlee also mentioned that local farming uses less fuel than conventional farming. Has there been a study of the fuel use per ton of food for Boulder County? I predict that if such a study were made, it would likely show that local, small-scale farming uses as much, if not more, fuel per ton of food than conventional farming. By the way, a citation at the end of the article shows that Mike Brownlee works for Transition Colorado and has a financial interest in the local food movement. The author of this article will likely have a large financial gain if public policy is changed to his favor. Collin Johnston/via Internet

Editor’s note: Transition Colorado is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization.

The Highroad

hey’re back. Citigroup, Coca-Cola, IBM, Merck, and dozens of other major U.S. corporations are back in Washington — like hogs at the trough — demanding to be fed another tax boondoggle. This is not the first pig-out for these oinkers. In 2005, having stashed huge profits in foreign countries and tax havens, the multinational giants came to Washington offering Congress a heck of a deal: We’ll bring this money back to the U.S. and invest it here, creating beaucoup jobs, if you give us a sweetheart tax rate on our profits of only about 5 percent, rather than the usual 35 percent rate. The Bushites and GOP Congress enthusiastically took the bait. Sure enough, $312 billion came home ... but instead of investing it in job creation, top executives and big shareholders simply put it in Boulder Weekly

They’re not going to go away until they’re resolved the way voters want them to be resolved. We as a community have a chance to

Corporate hoggishness run amuck by Jim Hightower their pockets. Sixty percent of the boondoggle was gobbled up by only 15 of America’s biggest multinationals — many of which actually shut down American plants, fired thousands of workers and moved more of their production abroad. Merck, for example, brought nearly $16 billion home in October 2005, then announced a restructuring plan the next month to close U.S. plants and cut some 3,500 jobs. You could almost hear the executives

make decisions that will protect our food supply, our soil and our croplands for generations to come. We have an opportunity to keep millions in food dollars here in Boulder County, to prevent an explosion in superweeds on open space lands and to establish food sovereignty see LETTERS Page 6

chortle and say, “Thanks, suckers.” Well, look out. A corporate lobbying front is working with Republican House leaders to sucker us again. The group includes such super-rich computer giants as Apple, Dell, Google and Intel, pushing for what they call a “repatriation holiday.” With a big stage wink, they promise to create jobs in exchange for that same, dandy 5 percent tax deal. What gross hoggishness! State and national budgets are being slashed — and these fat greedheads are trying to scam America with a tax holiday for themselves.

that will help keep our decendents fed when this current conomic system, which cannot last, finally buckles under the weight of its own waste, corruption and inhumanity. This will require citizen participation, as well as true leadership on the part of the county commissioners and others. Ultimately it comes down to this: who should control Boulder County’s food future, Monsanto or the people of Boulder County? The answer should be obvious. Robert Gordon/via Internet

Buck Uncle Sam on GMOs It looks like Boulder County residents are bucking Uncle Sam by objecting to genetically engineered (GE) crops on county open space. The news source Truthout has reported that Uncle Sam has been acting as agent for Monsanto and Dupont. This has just been confirmed by Wikileaks. New cables reveal details of the U.S. effort to push foreign governments to approve GE crops and promote the worldwide interests of those GE hucksters. Spain and France and other targets are in Africa, Asia and South America. For more info, go to http://tinyurl. com/3btvc67. Watch out Boulder! We could be targeted as well. Tom Moore/Boulder

11th & Pearl (Re: “Redeveloping 11th and Pearl,” Danish Plan, Aug. 25.) Briefly: How about something we really need for a change, like a performing arts center? Lynne Langmaid/via Internet

Thinking inside the box I believe that it would be a big mistake for Boulder County to allow genetically modified crops to be grown on our Open Space land. I believe the risks far outweigh the benefits, but it is valuable to understand the benefits that some farmers gain from GM crops. 6 September 1, 2011

GM crops can reduce the need for organophosphate poisons to control insects. They increase yields by reducing weed competition. They increase the quality of some crops by decreasing insect damage. They save time and labor because spraying is faster than hoeing or cultivating. However, these benefits are inside an outmoded 20th-century box. New 21st-century thinking is shifting our relationship with Nature from killing the Bad, to supporting the Good. We have learned that we are not separate from Nature and our environment. If we take an organic 21st-century approach, we can answer the GMO benefits in this way: Instead of replacing one poison with a weaker poison, we eliminate all poisons, building healthy soil and growing healthy plants, supporting populations of beneficial insects and using non-toxic sprays when necessary. Instead of reducing weeds with a gene that requires the use of an herbicide, we can reduce weed competition by mechanical removal, mulching and nontoxic weed killers. Increased time and labor are cost-effective when high-value crops (like organic vegetables) are grown. Instead of increasing crop quality with a gene that inserts a toxin into our plants and foods, quality can be increased through intelligent monitoring, beneficial insects, biodiversity, seed selection for local adaptability and, when necessary, non-toxic controls. Instead of saving time and labor, we can give more jobs to local workers to improve soils, remove weeds, monitor pests and beneficials and pick peoplefood. And we can save money by not buying expensive GMO seeds, petroleum-derived fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides. What kind of future and environment do we want to invest in? It’s time see LETTERS Page 8

f you haven’t watched the BBC series The Edwardian Farm, I highly recommend it. A series that ended this past January, the program features historian Ruth Goodman and archaeologists Alex Langlands and Peter Ginn, who attempt to show what daily life was like during the Edwardian period on a farm at Morwellham Quay, a historic quay in Devon in southwest England. This isn’t an insipid reality TV show that pairs hapless city dwellers with unpleasant chores, icky food and bad smells so that we can watch them shriek and cry and complain. It’s a documentary that makes history come alive — albeit with some humor. The location of the program is important because everything the three stars do is based on the natural resources, weather and landscape of Morwellham Quay. As they attempt to put food on the table and “earn a crust,” they look back on the industries that sustained the areas residents in historical times — lace making, growing oats, market gardening, mining, fishing, fish farming and raising beef, chickens and sheep. Experts on the history, Goodman, Langlands and Ginn nevertheless have little real-life experience with the tasks they face and often call upon those who do, learning new skills with each episode. First, there is old Farmer Mudge, whose name, face and adorable Cornish accent make him seem like a character

from a Harry Potter novel. He assesses the market value of their surplus hay, advises them which crops to plant, tells them how much quicklime they need to put on their fields. “You have to keep your lime up,” Mudge tells them. “Obviously, you want to put two tonne an acre.” Obviously. In addition to Mudge, there’s an elderly gent who knows how to use an old steam-powered plough. There are the elderly women who advise Ruth about raising pigs, dyeing Easter eggs with local plants and attempt (in vain) to teach her how to tat lace. There’s the old man who tells Alex and Peter how to build and thatch a hayrick so that their hay won’t rot over the long winter, not to mention the fellow who guides them as they shovel limestone and coal into a limekiln for 18 hours nonstop in an effort to make the 10 tons of quicklime they need for their fields. As an unrepentant history geek, I find all of this fascinating. From ingenious methods for preserving food to gathering lanolin from fleece to the latest contraptions for hatching chicks, the program opens the door to a world that is on the brink of being lost. What emerged for me as I watched the program’s 12 episodes was how much knowledge Mudge and the other elderly men and women had at their see MAD SKILLZ Page 8

command. From ancient techniques for keeping hay dry and repairing hedgerows to restoring a limekiln and building a coracle out of willow wands to smoking mackerel and gathering certain kinds of seaweed from rocks along the Devon shore, they still possess the mad skillz that kept their grandparents alive. In 10 years — 20 tops — that knowledge will disappear with them. And then the daily life of Morwellham Quay will slip entirely into history. This week, Transition Colorado has hosted a series of events as part of EAT LOCAL! Week to highlight the importance of shifting our food economy from a global one that is overly dependent on fossil fuels and big agribusiness to a local one that relies more on small local farms and human muscle. Eating locally grown produce not only helps support small farms and farmers, but also provides us with a fresher, more environmentally friendly option than pesticide-laden crops and genetically modified foods flown in from all corners of the globe. For now, eating locally grown produce is a choice. One day, when the oil is gone, it will be a necessity. And on that day, we’re all going to wish we

knew a Farmer Mudge. The “Transition” movement might start with food, but it implies growth in our skill set, from simply puttering in the dirt and bragging about a handful of tomatoes to growing enough food to feed our families — and preserving that food for the winter. My grandparents had those skills. Many of their generation did what they did — built their own homes, grew their own food, made their own clothing. It struck me as I watched the series conclusion that we in Boulder County do a relatively decent job of identifying “cultural resources” on the land — historic buildings, American Indian sites, pioneer graveyards — but we make very little effort to find our living cultural resources, those who can share with us the almost-lost knowledge of how people did things for themselves before it became the norm to outsource all of the essential functions of our lives so that we could watch more TV. Far too often we view the elderly as irrelevant. As this program demonstrated, they are repositories of wisdom, keepers of skills, human encyclopedias. We would do well to learn from them — while we still can. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

to reject the failed dominator system with a 60-year history of harming life on Earth. It’s time to invest in a holistic 21st-century vision that cares about quality, health and a prosperity that begins with the soil and radiates to all environments and beings. This is Nature’s successful model that we could imitate and partner with. Tell the Boulder County commissioners to deny permission to grow GMOs on our public land.

A healthier diet for kids With the start of a new school year, parents’ attention is turning to school clothes, supplies and lunches. Yes, school lunches. Traditionally, USDA had used the National School Lunch Program as 8 September 1, 2011

a dumping ground for surplus meat and dairy commodities. Not surprisingly, 90 percent of American children consume excessive amounts of fat, only 15 percent eat recommended servings of fruits and vegetables, and one-third have become overweight or obese. Their early dietary flaws become lifelong addictions, raising their risk of diabetes, heart disease and stroke. But the tide is turning. In recent years, Hawaii, California, New York and Florida legislatures asked their schools to offer daily vegetarian options, and most U.S. school districts now do. The Baltimore public school system offers its 80,000 students a complete weekly break from meat. Last December, President Obama see LETTERS Page 9

signed the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act to replace junk food in school lunches and vending machines with more healthful options. In January, the USDA announced the first new school lunch guidelines in 15 years. Parents should continue to insist on healthful plant-based school meals, snacks and vending machine items. They can consult www.vrg.org/family, www.healthyschoollunches.org, and www.fns.usda. gov/cnd. Rudolph Helman/Boulder

Legalize raw milk As a Colorado transplant (from California) and an avid follower of the Weston A. Price eating/diet/nutrition/ health way of life, I find that the media should take charge on this issue of the legality of raw milk and its products. For too long, raw milk has been outlawed based on flawed information (factoids) and mistaken media reports (about either food poisoning or salmonella and so on and so forth), and it is time that Colorado follow states like California and allow the commercial sale of raw milk. For the raw milk farmer and for the general public that would hugely benefit from the health attributes of unpasteurized milk, this outdated and misinformed policy must be corrected. Benjamin Applebee/Denver

Raise taxes The explanation for the rising tide of conservative economic theory in Congress lies in our modern Supreme Court rulings that money and free speech are created equal and that corporations have an unlimited right to spend money to influence elections. Our politicians have become terrified at the power of money and, particularly, the power of money in media. Despite overwhelming polling supporting raising taxes (actually returning taxes to the levels of earlier, more prosperous times) on corporations and the wealthy, raising revenue has never been on the table, and the Grover Norquist/Koch brothers/Tea Party/anti-government/anarchist elements of the Republican Party have gained an improbable ascendency in Washington. There is no longer a center in government, only the far-right and the ultra-far-right. Cutting government failed to right an economic collapse in the ’30s. There is no reason to believe it will succeed today. Robert Porath/Boulder

Food and protests related The popular revolutions we are witnessing in the Middle East, while inspired by a desire for personal freedom and self-determination, are certainly sustained by a pervasive hunger pandemic, Boulder Weekly

particularly among the world’s less privileged populations. Since last December, skyrocketing demand for food and dwindling supplies have driven the global Food Price Index to new records. Supplies have suffered from catastrophic floods and droughts linked to global warming and from gradual depletion of groundwater aquifers. Demand has been fueled by unchecked population growth and by diversion of massive amounts of grains into biofuel and meat production. Hunger afflicts nearly one billion

people worldwide, mostly women and children. It feeds massive popular migrations and unrest that, sooner or later, will affect us all. Some of the causes of global hunger are beyond our personal control. But, as the world’s highest meat consumers, we have a special obligation to free up some grain for the hungry by limiting our own consumption. With the broad availability of delicious and nutritious meat and dairy alternatives in every supermarket, there is no reason to delay. Entering “live vegan” in a search

engine returns lots of good guidance. Stanley Silver/Boulder

Blame God It’s not unusual for right-wing Christians — America’s Taliban — to attribute catastrophic events to the wrath of God. Apparently, nothing satisfies God more when He’s pissed off than a bit of mayhem and indiscriminate death — men, women, children, babies, pre-born babies. Hell, kill ’em all. Pat Robertson famously blamed 9/11 on homosexuals and feminists, blamed abortion and gay marriage for Hurricane Katrina, and said Haiti’s earthquake was the result of Haitians having made a pact with the Devil. Of course, blaming God is just a handy way of whipping stupid people into a frenzy, while attacking one’s political opponents. Why would God have to resort to hurricanes — a means of communication that is at best vague — in the age of the Internet? Most recently, Michele Bachmann brought God into Hurricane Irene. “I don’t know how much God has to do to get the attention of the politicians. We’ve had an earthquake; we’ve had a hurricane. He said, ‘Are you going to start listening to me here?’ Listen to the American people because the American people are roaring right now. They know government is on a morbid obesity diet, and we’ve got to rein in the spending.” Her handlers quickly said Bachmann had been joking. Pardon us if we’re not impressed either way. If she initially intended her comments seriously, then she’s a scary religious extremist who doesn’t belong on a school board, much less in the White House. If she was joking, then she’s pretty crass, given that the hurricane killed 40 people and caused an estimated $7 billion in damages. Yeah, that’s funny. Not! Ensuring profits Speaking of that bitch Irene ... last weekend’s hurricane is the 10th storm this year to cause more than $1 billion in damages here in the United States. Insurance companies must be on the brink of bankruptcy, right? Wrong! The Associated Press reported Tuesday, Aug. 30, that the insurance industry is looking at another profitable year. After Irene, insurance stocks actually shot up in value. How can this be, you ask? Well, premiums continue to rise, which means monthly mortgage payments continue to rise for those who pay their premiums through escrow funds. And then, of course, there’s the fact that insurance companies are very good at finding ways not to pay for damages. A great number of those who lost property and homes in Hurricane Katrina due to floods were surprised when insurance adjusters informed them that the six feet of standing water in their houses wasn’t flooding, but rather “wind-driven water.” But, hey, there are still a few months left in hurricane season. Forget buying an insurance policy. Buy insurance shares instead. Spoiling Spot Just when we thought we’d heard it all, along comes yet another opportunity to treat your dog like a human.

Revising history

want it to be torn down, it needs to be,” Amy Levine says of the Eldorado Corner Market, where she works. “The gas pumps don’t work right; sometimes they give too much, which cuts into profits, and the place is just dilapidated. It needs to be torn down.” The market, scheduled for a building permit review on Sept. 8, has stood at the intersection of highways 93 and 170 for a half century and has raised a lot of controversy recently in tiny Eldorado Springs. “Some people are like, ‘Oh, it’s been here my whole life,’ but is it a historic landmark?” Levine asks. “I have no idea.” Navigating land use codes can be difficult anywhere, but in many unincorporated Boulder County towns, the task can be made more difficult for properties with historic significance. Many towns, like Eldorado Springs, have drafted their own plans to preserve the rustic spirit of their frontier-era settlements, but when does appreciation for the past interfere with economic growth, and to what end? In the case of the Corner Market, says Debbie Schmitz, the store’s manager, preserving the iconic Flatirons view could make the business go under. Again. “Everyone who has ever owned it has lost their shirt,” she says. “People drive right by the place. We need to be seen to keep from going under, but that’s the point, Boulder County doesn’t want us to be seen.” The building the Corner Market occupies was built in 1960, Schmitz says, and has been everything from a porn

shop to the convenience store it is now. Renovation isn’t an option because the building violates so many codes, she says. It’s not so much a case of the county not wanting the store to be seen, but whether what people will see clashes with the historic aura of the town. “We have a remarkable history of mining and it’s gratifying to see it preserved,” says County Commissioner Will Toor. “Each townsite has the opportunity to draft their own zoning regulations, but it has to fit in fundamentally with the countywide plan.” The biggest issue for the Corner Market is an awning over the proposed new fuel pumps, which represent a large but necessary investment and need to be protected from direct sunlight. “The Boulder County planning department first said we absolutely need an awning, then changed their mind and said we can’t have an awning here; it will ruin the view,” Schmitz says. “The land use process is pretty complex, and it’s difficult to understand all the pieces,” says Hannah Hippely, the county planner in charge of the Corner Market review. The increase to more than 150 average daily trips and the change in principal use triggered this review process for the Market, she says. If the building permits are denied, it will likely not be because of the historic significance of the building itself. “We do have a prerogative for historic preservation in the county for buildings 50 years or older,” she says. “But I think this is more an issue of preservation of rural character than historic character.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com September 1, 2011 11

or some victims of the Fourmile Fire that ravaged the hills of western Boulder County the week of Sept. 6, 2010, this has been the “year of the phoenix.” Others are still waiting to rise from the ashes. In honor of the one-year anniversary of the Fourmile Fire, the most devastating in the state’s history in terms of property lost, Boulder Weekly interviewed a handful of the residents who lost their homes. Their stories run the gamut, from insurance nightmares to tales of rebirth and renewal. Despite their loss, many of the fire’s victims somehow found silver linings in the clouds of smoke that filled the sky on that Labor Day. **** Toward the end of the summer, staff at the summer camp held at Colorado Mountain Ranch started using the term “year of the phoenix,” referring to the way the ranch and its camp bounced back from the Fourmile Fire. “It does feel like we’ve been rising from the ashes,” says Lynn Walker, who owns the ranch and runs the camp with her husband, Mike. Matthew Legg of Cowbell Construction During the fire, Mike stayed is building a new home for on the family property, beating Philip Helper at 5617 back the flames with everything Sunshine Canyon. from a rug to a tractor. He is credited with saving the main lodge, a structure built in the 1920s that Lynn Walker refers to as “the heart and soul” of the ranch. “It’s been very inspiring to see how much a good “Kids told their friends that camp was better than summer camp can mean,” Walker says. “The positive ever,” she says of this summer at the ranch, despite the outcome for us has been greater for us than for most loss of several buildings to the fire. people. It’s really brought the community together.” The Walkers have rebuilt only their barn so far, She says the fire put things in perspective. because that was the one building they needed to get “It’s been huge, realizing that even though we lost up and running again. It contains her husband’s tools all that stuff, the animals and the people keep on and workshop, among other things. They replaced the going,” Walker says. “There’s a lot of resurgence and kids activity building that was lost in the fire with a appreciation for the ability of nature and people to large sun shade, she says. The rest of the lost strucregenerate. The grasses are greener than expected. The tures were for storing equipment and supplies but, as wildflowers were beautiful. People have tried to stay Walker says, their equipment and supplies were lost in positive and look at the upside of things. The vistas the fire, so there is nothing to store. are more open.” Their home burned, so the Walkers turned three **** rooms of the summer lodge into their new residence, But not everyone is singing the same upbeat tune. adding wood stoves to heat it in the winter. In a classic example of adding insult to injury, a year “We’re just taking one step at a time,” she says. later some residents are still fighting to get what they The Walkers were under-insured, but unlike many are owed from their insurance companies. other fire victims, they were well aware of that fact Tave Campbell, who lost his house on Wild before the fire — they simply couldn’t afford higher Turkey Trail, finally got what he was owed — but it premiums for property insurance when they were took more than 10 months. And now, his insurance already paying for liability insurance for the camps. company, Liberty Mutual, has declined to extend his Lynn Walker says that because of the extended additional living expenses (ALE) beyond 12 months, family they have through summer camp alumni and so Campbell will start paying for his Boulder rental their parents, the ranch enjoyed support beyond what house next week. most fire victims experienced.

companies, it was simply Liberty Mutual dragging its feet, taking eight weeks to do something that was supposed to take two, for example. “It was a pattern of delays and unresponsiveness on the part of Liberty Mutual,” Campbell says, adding that the company initially denied having a copy of a video he took of his property for insurance purposes several years ago. Then someone found it. By the time he got paid, it was too late for Campbell to start rebuilding before his ALE ran out. He’s now leaning toward buying a house somewhere else rather than rebuilding, in part because the construction season is quickly coming to a close. “You have to be an advocate for yourself,” he says of the insurance claims process. “What you and I might think is the right thing to do may not be done unless you fight for it.” **** Liberty Mutual is not the bad guy, or at least not the only bad guy, according to Garry Sanfaçon, the county’s Fourmile Canyon Fire recovery manager. “It really depends on the adjuster, it seems,” he says, declining to name any company that’s gotten a particularly bad reputation in the fire’s aftermath. Sanfaçon says the profile of the Fourmile Fire victims is a varied one. Some decided not to rebuild on their mountain property — they bought a replacement home on the plains. Others are renting. Some are still engaged in the aforementioned insurance hassles. And a little less than one-third of the structures that burned that day are being rebuilt. According to Sanfaçon, 45 home building permits have been issued since the fire, and 169 structures burned in the blaze. According to a recent survey of Fourmile Fire victims conducted by United Policyholders (UP), an insurance consumer advocacy group that has been holding meetings with the affected homeowners for the past year, 64 percent identified themselves as being under-insured, or not having enough to replace their property. They are under-insured by an average amount of $200,000 for the structure and $150,000 for contents, the survey says. “The clear message is that everybody should be checking their policies to make sure they’re covered adequately,” Sanfaçon says. “We assume that our insurance company and our agent are doing that for us. That is not the case.” According to Sanfaçon, homeowners should check “Coverage A,” which covers the structure in their policy, then divide that by their square footage and compare that per-square-foot amount to a quote from a local general contractor. see FOURMILE Page 14

September 1, 2011 13

FOURMILE from Page 13

“The biggest obstacle for people recovering is getting their insurance,” he says. “The insurance company is out to make a buck, and their job is to fight you.” Sanfaçon adds that only three homeowners have moved back into rebuilt homes a year after the fire, so “12 months of ALE is not even close” to being enough to bridge policyholders from their old home to their new one with rent money. He says he and others are working with state lawmakers on legislation that would require insurance companies to extend the ALE when necessary. According to the UP survey, 41 percent of respondents said they were “somewhat dissatisfied” or “dissatisfied” with their insurance company’s handling of their claim. And 32 percent said they were still negotiating with their insurance company. The survey says 65 percent of the respondents reported receiving “lowball” estimates from their insurance company. Aside from the insurance woes, Sanfaçon says the lingering negative impacts of the fire include the increased flood risk due to the loss of vegetation and a dive in the communities’ property tax revenues due to the lost homes, which is hurting, among other things,

funding for fire departments. Another challenge, he says, is that state officials declared the burned homes asbestos suspects, and the county is requiring homeowners to have all debris removed from their properties by Sept. 30. The county is providing free Dumpsters to the under-insured to aid in that process. While the county has been applauded for its efforts to support affected residents, Sanfaçon acknowledges that some fire victims have complained that the county didn’t waive building permit fees and didn’t waive the BuildSmart regulations that require homeowners to adhere to a host of sustainability and energy-efficiency requirements when they re-build. **** But for every horror story, there seems to be an uplifting one. Fourmile Fire victim Mike Davidoff was lucky enough to be covered by USAA, an insurance company that serves the U.S. military and their families. Davidoff says he had almost all of his insurance money in hand within two weeks. “The day after our fire, I thought we were screwed,” he says. “I didn’t even know what our

policy was.” To make the situation even more ideal, Davidoff and his family were planning on moving to a new house anyway, and they collected more in insurance money than they would have gotten by selling their house. They closed on their new home in Boulder within 21 days of the fire. “We ended up with a house on the top of our reach list,” he says. But there were downsides, of course, like the family’s two cats that perished in the fire, and Davidoff ’s Jeep, which was a casualty as well. “With my mountain lifestyle, there went my Jeep,” he says. “But the reality is that out of something traumatic and horrible can come something good.” Another victim, Half Fast Subs owner Stephen Schein, says he had a fairly positive outcome in his negotiations with Travelers Insurance — but it took eight months and a lot of work. “It’s like a chess game,” he says. “They will fight to give you as little as they can. If you can prove to them what you lost, they don’t have a choice but to give it see FOURMILE Page 16

Couple uses materials from burned home to build new one by Jefferson Dodge

Boulder County couple who lost their home in the Fourmile Fire a year ago is now building a new house on a local farm — using materials salvaged from their burned house and logs charred by the fire. The distinctive home of Karel and Alice Starek was on the cover of Boulder County Home and Garden in 2006. It was a work of art in many ways, with a copper roof, stone archways and a comet sculpture encircling the kitchen. Now that it’s gone, the Stareks are creating a new work of art, albeit a simpler, more sustainable one. In addition to re-using cobblestone and other rock from their old house for their new flooring, they are milling logs from the burn area for the posts and beams of their new home. And they are making the entire house out of materials that can be either composted or recycled. Leaf Running-rabbit, the builder who constructed their former home in the Gold Hill area, is now working on their new house on a farm that the couple bought on 75th Street, just north of Valmont. On a recent tour of the farm, he points to the dead walnut trees that will be used to make the wood cabinets and the large, tarp-covered shipment of 14 September 1, 2011

straw bales from a nearby farm that will be used as insulation in the 16-inch thick walls of the new home. The straw will be about three times more effective at insulating than traditional insulation, he says. Running-rabbit explains that instead of using rubber on the roof or plastic for things like electric-box components, he is using steel and aluminum, which are more easily recyclable. “We’re trying to extend the meaning of the term ‘green’,” he says, adding that the entire construction process will be zero-waste, right down to the screws and nails. According to Running-rabbit, the Stareks did a similar “green” renovation to an old farmhouse they bought at Arapahoe Avenue and Old Tale Road — just not to this extent. “Anybody else would have torn it to the ground, and they’ll put $300,000 into re-doing it,” he says. “They’re unyielding about reclaiming, salvaging and re-using.” Alice Starek is an architect, and she designed her old house in Gold Hill, Running-rabbit’s Ward home and three small structures for the farm: a main house, an ag house and a studio house. She says that Running-rabbit used recycled Styrofoam and other reusable materials in their Gold Hill house, but after it burned, the couple came to the

realization that more compostable materials would be preferable. “I would have felt so much better about it if it had been a straw-bale wall,” Starek says. She hopes to use as many locally sourced materials as possible in the new construction — maybe even sheep wool for the roof insulation. “We’re raising sheep on the farm — how cool would it be to use sheep wool from the farm?” Starek says. They’re even re-using the existing farmhouse on their property — the plan is to relocate it. Karel Starek says that while a building may get LEED certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, that doesn’t mean the structure is eventually going to decompose back into the earth, as a compostable building would. He says he hopes their new home can be a model for others to emulate. As for their loss, Alice Starek says the things she misses most from her

old home are the artwork and the photos of her children. “But I have those photos in my mind, so they’re not really gone,” she says. “And I have my kids. I have everything that really matters to me. The fire helped me realize how I want to live my life. Now I look back on it, and it was a pretty small event when you look at what else goes on in the world.” She says the fire also taught her that the American way — the amassing of wealth and material possessions — takes a lot of time away from connecting with the people you care about. So the Stareks decided to downsize. “It’s about having a simpler life and having more time for the things that matter,” she says. “That was my big lesson out of the fire. It gave me a big kick in the butt.” Karel Starek agrees. “It was kind of freeing to not have all that stuff to take care of anymore,” he says. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com Boulder Weekly

Fourmile benefit, exhibit on tap

celebratory fundraising dinner, “A Night at the Gold Hill Inn,” will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 7, to mark the oneyear anniversary of the Fourmile Canyon Fire. The event, which will be held from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m., is intended to acknowledge the devastation while honoring the lives and communities that were saved. The dinner and fundraiser will feature the collective culinary talents of some of Boulder’s best-known chefs, as well as an auction and live music by Romano Paoletti and KC Groves. Dinner will be a five-course tasting menu, and each chef will prepare one course and pair it with an appropriate wine. Tickets are $200 per person. The attire is mountain casual. Participating chefs include Dave Query of the Big Red F Restaurants, Eric Skokan of the Black Cat, Hugo Matheson of The Kitchen, Bradford Heap of Salt and Colterra, Bobby Stuckey and Lachlan MacKinnon-Patterson of Frasca, and Janos Wilder of Janos Restaurant in Tucson, Ariz. All proceeds will be directed to two areas: the Foothills United Way Fourmile Fire Recovery Fund Mental Health Program, which provides residents of fire-affected areas with

trauma counseling and other mental health services, and the Gold Hill, Sunshine, Sugarloaf and Fourmile volunteer fire departments. Reservations can be made at http://bit.ly/ fourmilefunds. In addition, an exhibit titled, “Burning Issues: The Fourmile Canyon Fire,” will be on display at the University of Colorado Museum of Natural History Sept. 6 through Jan. 26. The exhibition commemorates the first anniversary of Boulder’s most destructive and expensive fire by exploring the ecological importance of fires and the environmental and human factors that affect fires. Through photographs, fire-scarred trees and video interviews with local firefighters, scientists and affected homeowners, visitors will learn how scientists reconstruct fire history.     An opening reception and presentation, “Fire in the Mountains: Understanding Fire History and Fire Dynamics in Colorado,” by geography Professor Tom Veblen will be held on Thursday, Sept. 15, in the museum’s BioLounge.    The museum is located in the Henderson Building, at 15th Street and Broadway.

back. The trick is proving what you’ve got.” Schein says he heard that one insurance company responded to a reimbursement request for a Jenn-Air oven/ stove with “the dollar amount for a Coleman camping stove.” He adds that insurance companies will even go so far as to question whether someone had Nordstrom furniture by saying it’s not consistent with the fact that they went to Wal-Mart to buy a toothbrush and underwear after evacuating the fire area. “It becomes a real pissing match,” Schein says. **** Steve Spencer moved to the townsite of Sunshine in 1977, and he built a house there in 1985. On the day the Fourmile Fire started, he was outside working on his deck, preparing to host a rehearsal dinner for his son and daughter-in-law the following week. He saw the smoke coming over the ridge, but didn’t think much of it. After all, he’d seen and even fought some wildfires over the years, and they usually stopped spreading and got contained at the top of ridges, because it’s rare for them to burn downhill. Then Spencer got the reverse-911 evacuation order and decided to treat it as a practice run, in case there was a real fire threat someday. He grabbed his computer, photo albums, musical instruments and important papers, and headed through the smoke and snowlike ash to Boulder. But about eight of his neighbors stayed at their homes in defiance of the evacuation order, going from house to house, extinguishing the small fires that

were being started by flying embers. Spencer’s neighbors extinguished fires at his house twice, but they couldn’t stop the third one, and the house burned to the ground. “They were doing what they could, with no electricity and no water,” he says. “If I had to do it all over again, I would have stayed.” Luckily, he was adequately insured by Farmers, and the company has extended his ALE from 12 months to 15, giving him just enough time to complete construction on his rebuilt home — a home that now sports many of the energy-efficient improvements he had hoped to make someday. “Of course, we’re sad we lost things we cherished,” Spencer says. “But at the same time, we lost a house with a 25-year-old roof, a 25-year-old water heater, a 25-year-old floor. Now we’ve got a new house.” On the other hand, he misses the people that he would regularly join on walks in the area. “One thing that makes me saddest is that a number of my neighbors have chosen not to rebuild,” Spencer says. “Now those neighbors won’t be walking that road. They’ll be walking another road.” He says one of the main lessons learned from the Fourmile Fire relates to supporting one’s fellow community members — and gaining comfort from their recovery. “It could happen to any of us,” Spencer says. “We all want to see people who have misfortune somehow recover. People want to see you sweep up the ashes, because they want to know that they could do it, too.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com Boulder Weekly

4. The local food shift The local food shift is gaining significant traction in Boulder County, growing well beyond the euphoric early adopter stage into early majority territory. It is unfolding so rapidly and so unpredictably that it could well be called a revolution.

the country’s highest — is an example of pro-conservation majorities in the state legislature, according to Maysmith. “The environment is such an integral part of who we are as Coloradans — our mountains, clean air, clean water. … People care about those issues,” he says. “When districts are competitive and there’s a real choice between the candidates, it’s certainly not always the case, but it’s often the case that candidates that have a vision for how to protect our environment are going to have a leg up in that race.” “That hasn’t seemed to happen,” Levy says. “It depends on who wins, but it seems like the Republican candidates just don’t see the importance of environmental issues.” All of this is beside the point to Gardner, who looks at the reapportioned districts and sees the heart of Longmont set into another district. “I know a lot of the discussion has been framed around a more political agenda, and more around the demographics of it from a political standpoint rather than the geography of it, and I just don’t think that’s the right discussion that serves the community,” she says. The way the lines are drawn now, she says, 10,000 people in Longmont will not be well-represented because they’ll be grouped with another district that may not share their values. Regardless of how they feel on the environment — or any other issue — they’ll struggle to have those views represented. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

by Elizabeth Miller only to Democrats. The highest-scoring Republicans earned 45 percent. “I think it’s safe to say that if the maps are adopted as they’re currently proposed, Republicans will have a pretty strong lock on the House for the next decade,” says Rep. Claire Levy, D-Boulder. “If we just look at the record of one session of Republican control, I think we know what’ll happen for the next 10 years if they stay in control.” Levy was able to pass a bill she introduced this year that required more transparency in the bidding process for renewable energy. But she watched fellow Democrats fail to find similar luck. Rep. Deb Gardner, D-Longmont, introduced a bill to require more energy efficiency in certain structures. It was killed in the House State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee. “It shouldn’t be, but it seems to be partisan,” Levy says. Some of the bedrock pieces of environmental legislation, like the Clean Air and Clean Water acts and the bill creating the Environmental Protection Agency, had bipartisan support, were even championed by Republicans and were signed into law by Republican President Richard Nixon, Maysmith says. “The legacy of conservation and protecting our environment for future generations is a bipartisan legacy. It’s a bipartisan notion,” he says. “To fast-forward to today, it has very much become way too often falling on partisan lines.” Colorado’s renewable energy goal of 30 percent renewable energy — one of

hen the lines for the statehouse are redrawn after this year’s reapportionment, more competitive districts could cost Democrats seats in the House, leaving them facing a Republican supermajority. Based on the voting record of the last year, that could make it tough for pro-conservation Democrats to pass environmental bills. “What the lines look like have the potential or the great likelihood to dramatically impact the fate of pro-environment legislation at the Capitol,” says Pete Maysmith, executive director of Colorado Conservation Voters, which scores members of the state legislation on their voting record for issues including the management of natural resources, renewable energy and waste. “If they’re drawn in a competitive way, so people can really have clear choices, on balance, that’s going to benefit the environment,” Maysmith says. “There’s a greater opportunity for their voice to be heard, and for issues like the environment to really be key, or swing issues in the race.” The lines for reapportionment allot dramatic increases in Republican voter registrations in four formerly securely Democratic districts. In three of those four districts, the Democratic incumbents have, according to the Colorado Conservation Voters scorecard, a record of voting pro-environment 100 percent of the time. The fourth scored 83 percent. Statewide, 100 percent scores went

Jean Grae hates being called a female emcee — especially a “femcee.” “[Femcee] is a stupid word. It’s not even a real word,” she says. “I think it’s a lot easier to say that and just put it in a box. It’s easier to put people in categories because you don’t actually have to think about anything or use your own mind or decide what it is on your own. It’s like, we get it! You can see my boobs, they’re right here, we get it!” Because of her gender, Jean Grae is often grouped in with other female rappers like Nicki Minaj, Lil’ Kim and Lauryn Hill, instead of being categorized by her skills on the mic. She’s stylistically closer to artists like Pharoahe Monch, Lupe Fiasco and Talib Kweli. Her clever, meticulous and witty lyrics combined with her rapid-fire flow have listeners constantly rewinding to catch bars like “They call me Jean McCoy, beast in thee employ / Deploy deplorable, through audible destructive actions, attractive decoy / Then pass it to Troy, after I’m passing your life over / He’ll deliver it through river Styx, Hades / I’m cold, deliberate, ladies, my foes limited,” from the song “Assassins.” Grae’s buzz started in the mid- and late-’90s as part of the New York-based group Natural Resource. Under the moniker What? What?, she consistently outshined her fellow group members. So when the group disbanded in 1998, she should have been an obvious pick-up for any major label, right? “Everybody hated me,” she says now. “Seriously. One of the interesting things that I ever heard when my group Natural Resource split up, the immediate reaction from everyone was, ‘Oh man, it’s going to be so easy for you to get signed, your stuff is going to be everywhere.’ And I was like, ‘Yeah!’ Then I was like, ‘Oh, let me get out of my bubble of the world. No, it is not!’ What it’s relegated to is, ‘Oh, female emcee,’ so that’s not the entire story, and it’s a lot more difficult.” Jean Grae with DJ Mr. Len plays the Fox Grae released her

debut album, Attack of the Attacking Things, in 2002 on small indie label Third Earth Music. She dropped an EP, Bootleg of the Bootleg EP and a sophomore album, This Week, with then-upand-coming indie hip-hop label babygrande music in 2003 and 2004, respectively. In what was essentially a “one-off ” deal with babygrande, according to Grae, the label released another album, Jean Grae: Evil Genius but under the name of the production team, Blue Sky Blue Death. She’s not supposed to talk about the situation, but admits she was just as surprised as her fans when the album dropped a few years ago. “Yeah, that’s interesting isn’t it?” she says. “I don’t even know those albums are coming out, and then there’s like … an album. I’m like, ‘Oh, wow, what songs are those?’ I don’t even know those songs. You just took my vocals and beats and called it a new album? So, fuck babygrande.” Grae signed with Blacksmith Records in 2005, the label launched by rapper Talib Kweli, and dropped a few previously unreleased projects, including her album with producer 9th Wonder, called Jeanius, and a collection of rare, unreleased and collaborative songs called The Orchestral Files. She also gave away a mixtape earlier this year, Cookies or Coma, which is already being touted as one of

22 September 1, 2011

the top mixtapes of the year. With all the Jean Grae music that’s out there, she still hasn’t officially released a third album. She’s currently working on it — it’s titled Cake or Death — but she won’t announce a release date. “I think the idea is when it’s right, when everything sounds like what it’s really supposed to sound like instead of rushing to get everything out, then it’ll come out,” she says. “It’s really heavy on the music side of things, and by that I mean tons of vocal arrangements, string arrangements and horn arrangements. It’s not a very typical rap kind of album. And I think it’s OK to take the time to make it coalesce instead of rushing to put something out. Because there’s gonna be 82 albums that come out that sound exactly like it … no, not really. But you guys can wait.” That’s the other thing about Jean Grae — the sarcasm runs deep. When asked if she would reveal any guests or producers that may end up on the album, she refuses. “Um, no. With today, on the account of the earthquake, I’m not going to,” she says referring to the East Coast earthquake that occurred on Aug. 23. “But they’re all very talented people … and Yanni. Yes, Yanni is also on it. No. But if I did have a contact for Yanni, I am the person who will put people on songs just

for the sheer entertainment value of it and say it’s featuring Yanni because that would be awesome. But, no, he’s not on it, I’m doing false promotion, and I don’t want Yanni to sue me. Because even though he’s not very popular in the rest of the music business, I’m pretty sure he’s rich. Yanni has to be pretty paid. What does he play? The panflute?” No one knows Grae’s sarcasm more than her Twitter followers (www.twitter. com/jeangreasy). She has close to 50,000 followers and continually has loads of fun at the expense of some of her nottoo-bright followers. She started a hashtag trend called #TheFuture where she “wishes” for things that currently exist and plays like she doesn’t understand when a few of the followers try to explain. Once she announced she was sick of wearing glasses and wished there was something she could put on her eyeballs so she could see without glasses. Another time she pretended not to know what downloading, MP3s or iPods were and delighted in frustrating people trying to explain them to her, not knowing she was playing them the whole time. “It’s wonderful, sometimes, and it’s also sad,” she says. “There was a day where I was like, ‘OK, how do I count bars [of music]?’ and people actually responded! So I was like, let’s see how far I can take this. So I asked, ‘What is

82 plus 3?’ You guys are really telling me? You don’t think I know how to add three to a number? Then I was like, what two colors make purple? Really? You guys think I’m a fucking idiot? But sometimes it’s really funny. There was another, I asked ‘How do I tweet to everybody so that you guys see the message?’ I guess there’s something masochistic about it. Or sometimes I need to be reminded that not everybody is as bright as the people I’ve chosen to be around.” Now on tour, Grae is taking the razor-sharp rhymes and her comedic sensibilities on the road. And even though it’s just her and former Company Flow DJ Mr. Len, she guarantees that the show will be a good one. Or does she? “It’s gonna suck. It’s gonna be awful,” she says. “But it’s just me and Mr. Len and a lot of rap words. And a lot of jokes and fuckery. We kind of play it by ear and play by the crowd. We’ve known each other for a very long time, and it’s nice to have someone on stage with you that knows like, ‘OK, let’s do this now … or maybe not. I’m gonna lay down. Or I’m gonna walk off stage.’ I don’t know what’s gonna happen. There may be a lesbian threesome! Who knows! But I am doing a lot of Cookies and Comas stuff and then previewing Cake or Death.” Respond:letters@boulderweekly.com

Rebound band

Nate Cook rolls previous success into Yawpers by David Accomazzo

he demise of Nate Cook’s old band, local favorites Ego Vs Id, did little to derail the 25-year-old’s musical momentum. Ego Vs Id’s first and only album, Taste, came out to generally favorable reviews last November, a product of 18 months in the studio, but, perhaps a sign of brewing portents, Cook says none of the band members were particularly happy with the record. “It was a bad marriage. We all loved each other, but we couldn’t make it work out,” Cook says of his previous band. EVI has finalized the divorce papers, and the band played its last show in March. Now, just six months later, Cook has a brand new project, Yawpers, that is off to a redhot start — they are already in talks with a blues and rock label in Florida that wants to record and distribute their debut EP, they just booked their first Denver show at the Larimer Lounge on Sept. 7, and they have a mini-tour of the Southwest planned for November. For Cook, the sudden-onset success is a welcome lurch forward. “[Ego Vs Id] spun our wheels for so fucking long,” Cook says. “And it was such a big draw for [Yawpers’] first show.” Cook must be ecstatic. For all its early success,

Yawpers, a name inspired by Walt Whitman’s proclamation to “sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world,” hasn’t even reached its infancy as a band. According to Cook, the band is still “embryonic.” Yawpers is still developing its sonic identity, but the band appears to being heading towards a more country-rock sound, as opposed to Ego Vs Id’s rock ’n’ roll tendencies. “For me as a performer, I find I identify more with country. … What feels more honest to me is when I’m singing country,” Cook says. “It’s funny, Ego Vs Id got accused of being too country for a rock ’n’ roll crowd and too rock ’n’ roll for the country crowd. “Yawpers is more country. More than that, though, it’s Americana. It’s stripped down. It’s four-on-the-floor, rather than intricate arrangements.” At the band’s first-ever show at Shug’s Low Country Cuisine this July, Yawpers was nothing more than Cook on rhythmic acoustic guitar, Adam Perry (a Boulder Weekly contributor) on drums and EVI alum Jesse Parmet on lead acoustic guitar. Despite the unconventional, bass-less lineup, the turnout was strong — no doubt thanks to the clout Cook developed during his time in EVI — and Yawpers has played Shug’s several times since.

Good times for My Chemical Romance

The once-emo band is happier than ever after CD release by Alan Sculley

Boulder Weekly

n a way, the huge achievement that was The Black Parade CD and tour almost caused the guys in My Chemical Romance to forget who they are as a band. Released in 2006, The Black Parade CD itself was one of the most ambitious albums of recent vintage, a full-blown theatrical concept album that essentially centered around a journey through death as told from the perspective of a character called “the patient.” Despite that subject matter, it was a musically compelling and highly entertaining work. The real topper, though, was the marathon tour, in which My Chemical Romance donned black outfits and essentially became the band The Black Parade. During that set, the group performed the album from front to back, before returning to the

The back room of Shug’s, a roughly 90-person concert space they’re calling The Shack, has special meaning for Cook, as his old band got its first gigs at the b.side Lounge, which shut down in December 2009. Yawpers’ first gig was at the same location, though under different ownership and disguise, and it’s also where they got their big break. At this August’s annual Adult Album Alternative conference in Boulder, where radio industry-types gather to talk about which Dave Matthews Band songs to play on stations like KBCO, Yawpers got the chance to play one of the showcases, and Cook says they were approached by several radio insiders interested in the band. Contacts they made at the showcase led to their pending record deal. Cook feels more fulfilled playing in Yawpers than he did in Ego Vs Id. For one, he is the main songwriter and singer, where in Ego Vs Id the duties were spread more evenly. EVI’s music asked him to play guitar leads and solos, which he was never really comfortable with. In Yawpers, Parmet, a fantastic lead guitar player, handles almost all the soloing duties. The band only has two songs available online, “Heart on a String” and “Runner.” Both are simple, uptempo, driving country-rock tunes with infectious hooks, anchored by Perry’s driving four-on-the-floor kick drum. “Heart on a String” got some airtime on KGNU and is proving to be popular, but Cook stresses that the lightly produced demo of the song is far from the final product. He likes the progress so far but is excited for things to come. “It surprises me because it sounds like it was recorded in the top tank of a toilet,” Cook says. “It’s a good song, but I like to have a lot of quality control.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com stage for a second set as My Chemical Romance and playing a selection of songs from earlier albums. Having been immersed in such a lavish production for months on end, the group reacted sharply to The Black Parade by teaming up with super-producer Brendan O’Brien and recording a back-tobasics, non-thematic album that was essentially the polar opposite of The Black Parade. It was only after finishing that CD that the guys in My Chemical Romance — singer Gerard Way, his brother, bassist Mikey Way, guitarists Ray Toro and Frank Iero, and recently departed drummer Bob Bryar — realized they had lost their way and began the process of rediscovering and reclaiming the group’s musical identity. see ROMANCE Page 26

Matters of life and death

New film festival explores life’s two inevitabilities

he first annual Life and Death Matters International Multimedia Festival — better known as LADmatters — promises to be a thought-provoking, engaging event with plenty to prick the senses. Running Sept. 1 to Sept. 4 at various venues in Boulder, the event encompasses speakers (including famed autistic writer and teacher Temple Grandin), panels, seminars, workshops, films and short plays. The fest is themed around the vivid landscapes of life and death, with topics ranging from aging, disease and vaccination to living within/promoting peace and LGBTQ concerns. Karen van Vuuren and Erin Kelly developed the idea for the festival in 2010. Kelly took seventh grade math from van Vuuren’s husband, and over coffee last October, the two women chatted about film and end-of-life care and decided to create the festival. Van Vuuren’s background in broadcast journalism and nonprofit leadership worked in tandem with Kelly’s experience as an actor on stage and on screen — and behind the camera as a producer. The film festival would hopefully cause people to think about the process of living and dying and in the end exude hope. The nonprofit event would not be just about film, however. Seminars, plays and the like would further allow attendees to ponder and learn. Festival director Kelly wants to focus on the positive aspects of the topics while remaining cuttingedge. She also hopes that attendees’ thought processes will have been engaged once they leave the event. “I feel that our realization in creating this is not necessarily that we’re telling people what to think or how to think, but more that they come away thinking something,” says Kelly, referring to herself and festival partner van Vuuren. “We are really keen on just stimulating conversations, stimulating thoughts

Kids’ sexual health, part II by Dr. Jenni Skyler Dear Dr. Jenni, My son is 6 and has put on his older sister’s dresses and shoes. Recently he got into my make-up. Part of me feels like this is typical, developmental exploration, but my husband adamantly disagrees. We are nervous about what is going on, and what to do. —Bizarre Behavior?

Dear Dr. Jenni, I read “Kids’ sexual health” last week, and I have a question about my 7-year-old daughter. My husband complains that I have shut down sexually since she was born. It’s true that I am very nervous about having sex, in case she might walk in. I remember walking in on my parents, and I was horrified. I don’t want to replicate this experience for her, but I don’t know how to balance what is good for my daughter and what is good for my husband. —Intimacy Impasse

Dear Bizarre, You are correct. Your son’s behavior is most likely normal, curious exploration, especially if he admires his older sister and wants to emulate her. Even if your son exhibits feminine behaviors, he may grow out of this stage.

defines a flow trail? Let’s think back to the halcyon days of a kid’s summer, dripping popsicles, scabbed knees and all. Remember the big hill in your neighborhood where the local tough guys and girls built milk-crate jumps and effortlessly aired in banana-seat high style? You finally (wo)manned up in your cutoffs and queued up for your place in local legend. Gravity pulls you down, the back wheel wobbling against the chain guard, and despite the ferocious urge to stab the brakes at the last (and worst) second, you acknowledge that the bike knows best, and with the whump, whump of the plywood ramp, you soar into fame. High fives are exchanged as you brave a smile over shallow breaths. One of the hardships of adulthood is the lack of these visceral thrills. We are expected to live vicariously through the exploits of pro athletes in HD. Not so, however, for those who never let go of the BMX handlebars. Mountain biking is entering a new era on the trail construction side. Historically, mountain biking was done on old hiking trails, and those trails might have had their genesis in game paths or American Indian routes.

new era of CU football officially kicks off this Saturday against the Hawaii Warriors. A fresh new coaching staff is looking to re-establish the program and build it back up into the powerhouse it once was. This process starts with Jon Embree, who is restoring a tradition implemented by his coach, Bill McCartney. The tradition was carried on until it was discontinued and covered up by former head coach Dan Hawkins’ staff. The tradition is simple yet powerful: Every time the Buffaloes win a big game, they paint a brick in the Dal Ward Center to commemorate their victory. And Hawaii is the game Embree and his staff have targeted to “bring back the bricks.” Not only is it the new regime’s first game, but it also holds significance because of the Buffs’ recent road woes. The Buffs have not won a single road

game since 2007, meaning only five players on the roster have felt the experience of traveling back to Boulder with a road victory under their belts. Although those statistics belong to the previous staff, they still hold weight with the current team. A win against the Warriors would be priceless for the Buffs. However, getting that win will be much more difficult than restoring old program traditions. Last year the Buffs beat Hawaii, but the game was played at Folsom Field, giving the Buffs a significant advantage considering Boulder’s elevation and the distance the Warriors had to travel. The Buffs also had two threeyear starters and future NFL players at cornerback in Jalil Brown and Jimmy Smith. Hawaii, while a relative unknown to casual football fans, boasts a highpowered offense that makes any defensive coordinator cringe. Known for passing the ball early and often, Hawaii

returns their starting quarterback, Bryant Moniz, who threw for more than 4,000 yards and 36 touchdowns last season. That high-powered offensive attack will present problems for defensive coordinator Greg Brown and his players. “Anytime you go against a team that’s that explosive on offense, that’s going to be a challenge,” said senior safety and co-captain Anthony Perkins in Tuesday’s press conference. To compound this fact, the Buffs lack depth and experience at the cornerback positions, and they will need relatively unproven players to step up against Moniz, who is considered a dark-horse Heisman trophy candidate. Fifth-year senior and converted safety Travis Sandersfeld and true freshman Greg Henderson will start against the Warriors. However, the coaching staff and

Game predictions Matt Sparkman: Hawaii, 45-31 Buffs fight hard and keep the game close until the very end, when Hawaii scores a late touchdown to seal the deal. CU fights, but Moniz tears the inexperienced defensive secondary to pieces as Hawaii notches their first win of the season. Guest Picker Ferd Lewis, Honolulu Star-Advertiser: Hawaii, 31-28 After huffing and puffing at 5,345 feet in the Rockies and blowing a 10-0 lead last year, the Warriors have the Buffaloes right where they want ’em — at sea level and in humidity.

iz Kritza’s CU volleyball team got off to a decent start in 2011, as the Buffaloes went 2-1 in their opening weekend of competition. Colorado began the season in Greeley on Friday, where they split a doubleheader against UNLV and UC Davis, beating the former and falling in the nightcap in four sets. CU returned home and defeated Northern Colorado, which was picked to finish first in the Big Sky conference, in five dramatic sets. “It’s a new team that has a little more maturity,” Kritza said of her team after they defeated the

Bears. “I see a little bit more fight and a little bit more confidence — and to see that in the first weekend of play is really promising.” The Buffaloes will undoubtedly be led by their junior superstar, Kerra Schroeder. A dynamic outside hitter whose ruthlessness in attack could earn her a mention among the best players in the Pac12, Schroeder carried the Buffs during a difficult 2010 campaign. Other dynamic contributors will be senior setter Alyssa Valentine, whose passing precision is a see VOLLEYBALL Page 45

Hawaii starting quarterback Bryant Moniz threw for an NCAA-leading 5,040 yards last season, leading the Warriors to a 10-4 record. The University of Hawaii’s teams have several different nicknames. Football, golf and volleyball are called the Warriors. The baseball team’s moniker is the Rainbows. Every other sport goes by the Rainbow Warriors. Jon Embree has coached in Aloha Stadium on two previous occasions, both at Colorado and as an assistant coach. In 1993, the Bill McCartney-led Buffs defeated Fresno State 41-30 in the Aloha Bowl. In 1998, Rick Neuheisel celebrated his last game at CU by beating current conference foe Oregon by a final score of 51-43, also in the Aloha Bowl. The only time the Buffs will see the beach on their “business trip” to Hawaii this weekend will be on the Boeing 767 charter ride to Honolulu, according to Embree.

fellow players are confident in the pair’s ability. “I have a lot of confidence in [Sandersfeld and Brown],” Embree said. On the offensive side of the ball, the Buffs will need repeat performances from quarterback Tyler Hansen and running back Rodney Stewart. Hansen threw for 200 yards and two touchdowns against Hawaii last year, and Stewart ran for two touchdowns. A win in Hawaii will not immediately resurrect the Buffaloes, but it would be a great positive step forward for this new coaching staff and would

go far in restoring the team’s confidence. Embree recognizes the game’s importance, but he realizes a lot has to change at CU. “As far as setting the tone for the program — yes and no — [bringing back the bricks is] big in that manner,” he says. “What the guys will find out, every game is a big game if we want to accomplish things we say we want to accomplish as a team and as a program. … You can’t put too much importance on one game.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

big part of Schroeder’s success; Megan Beckwith, a sophomore libero who leads the Buffs in defense; and Anicia Santos, who will start for the second straight year at middle blocker. Colorado volleyball remains in a rebuilding process in Kritza’s third season at the helm. CU has only one player (Schroeder) with more than a year of experience in a Buffs uniform. Kritza will once again be relying on freshman contributors. Kelsey English, a Doherty (Colorado Springs) grad, and Nikki Brown figure to record significant playing time as true freshmen. For a program that has gone 15-42 in the past two years, things seem to be looking up for Colorado volleyball. The recently completed basketball/volleyball practice facility has boosted the perception of the program. It also guarantees that the Buffs spikers will always have a place to practice at all hours of the day. The fact that CU is consistently recruiting and landing some of the nation’s best players (such as Fairview High School’s Nicole Edelman) demonstrates how the facility has improved the program’s image. Kritza’s class of 2012 figures to be among the top 10 in the nation, according to some recruiting pundits.

ing block in her new assistant, Leonid Yelin. Yelin comes to Colorado from the University of Louisville, where he was a head coach for 15 years. Louisville enjoyed great success during Yelin’s tenure, competing in 14 NCAA tournaments and advancing to four Sweet Sixteens. Yelin ranks 16th on the NCAA active wins list. In front of Kritza, Yelin and the Buffs stands a daunting challenge. The Pac-12 Conference is a step up from the Big 12 in terms of competition. Five Pac-12 teams (California, USC, Stanford, Washington and UCLA) find themselves ranked in the American Volleyball Coaches Association’s top 12 teams in the nation. “For volleyball, [the Pac-12 is] probably one of the best conferences in the world,” said Associate Athletic Director Ceal Barry, who supervises volleyball. “[The move] is great for volleyball.” Before Pac-12 play begins, CU has business to take care of in its out-ofconference schedule. CU hosts the Slovenian national team in an exhibition on Friday. Colorado closes out the three-game homestand against Albany, one of the top teams in the American East conference. Next week, CU hits the Empire State to compete in the Rose Hill Classic, hosted by Fordham University in the Bronx. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

Unemployed Georgia boys turn to BBQ

by Christie Sounart Christie Sounart

wo Boulder County men, in the wake of losing their jobs, have decided to support their skiing addiction by serving up authentic Southern barbecue. Delicious barbecue that holds true to its deep Southern roots — while also catering to the environmentally conscious masses — can be a difficult find in Boulder County, but Matt Alexander and Nick Reckinger are facing the challenge head-on. Alexander, 30, and Reckinger, 31, both from Georgia, became friends through their fraternity at the University of West Georgia. Upon graduating, they went their separate ways, both eventually moving to Colorado due to their passion for skiing. They reconnected several years later Matt Alexander, left, and Nick Reckinger and, as fate would have it, both found themselves unemployed late last year. (Alexander they couldn’t find a space in Boulder for their new worked for U.S. Foodservice and Reckinger worked in small-budget business. Their hope was revived when the renewable energy field.) they saw a Craigslist post for a century-old house in They shared a dilemma: Where would their Longmont that had been previously used by a catermoney come from to get to the slopes? ing company.

The aspiring young men began to waver when Georgia boys BBQ has five different sauces, all

Alexander’s own recipes. Customers are served heaping plates of hot, flavorful food such as pulled pork and chicken, brisket, ribs and the “dawg bowl,” a “breadless wonder” of the customer’s choice of meats. Sides include mac ’n’ cheese, sweet potato casserole, “special” baked beans, potato salad and jambalaya. Their “dang good tea” promises to be the best sweet tea around, and since the barbecue serves no artificial sweeteners or ingredients, the only sodas to be found are glass-bottled Cokes and Fantas from Mexico. Reckinger explains that since they cook everything from scratch, their menu changes daily. Every morning, they post their menu line-up on their Facebook page. Alexander and Reckinger say they are hoping to open more locations of their restaurant, especially in Boulder. Staying true to their love for skiing, they also hope to open locations in resort areas such as Breckenridge. “We would like to leave a trail of barbecue shacks up to the mountains,” Alexander says. They also intend to sell their sauces in grocery stores, eventually, and this winter, they plan to renovate their original space to seat people inside. Alexander and Reckinger continue to cater outside of their restaurant, and still set up at Left Hand Brewery Co. on occasional weekends, where they also hold events that donate a portion of their food sales to charities. “It wasn’t easy to get to this point. We just did what we could to get here,” Reckinger says. “People need good food, and we’re here to give it to them.” Georgia boys BBQ is open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. To check out their menu of the day, visit their Facebook page at facebook.com/georgiaboysbbq or their website, georgiaboysbbqcompany.com.

’m hitting the trail again this week. No, not running, hiking or biking — why would I do that? I get plenty of exercise in the kitchen, with all that whisking and lifting of heavy saucepans and such. You should see the guns on this diva. Plus, my kitchen is like Dance Party USA when I’m creating new recipes, a booty shake here, a cup of sugar there, it’s really all the workout I need. That’s what I keep telling myself, at least. So this week, the dessert may not sound as enticing as some that have come before it, but it is tasty, on the healthier side, and perfect with all the back-to-school craziness many households endure. Oatmeal Trail Mix Bars. Yee haw! We are making our own granola bars. These are perfect for lunchboxes, after-school snacks or, of course, dessert. Packed with my favorite combo of nuts, dried cranberries, dark chocolate and oatmeal, the kiddos won’t know what hit ‘em. It’s something that tastes delicious and is good for kids and adults alike. I’m using half butter, half mashed banana for the fat content. There’s only a tad bit of sugar in the bars — I’m using agave nectar to really sweeten these bad boys. I like almonds, sunflower seeds and walnuts, but you could use your faves. I love the tartness the dried cranberries give, and the texture. If your kids (or you) like dried blueberries or dried cherries, use them, since any dried fruit works. Darn, the options I’m giving you are endless. I’m such a giver, they should really name a foundation after me. I should add that I am using dark chocolate because of the health benefits. Even if you have peeps who don’t care for dark chocolate (whatever), you should know, with all the other ingredients, they will never know. The chocolate blends in perfectly, and has a mellow flavor combined with the oatmeal and agave nectar. So load up, dark chocolate lovers. Back to my heavy lifting and

whisking. Gotta get my workout in. I wonder if the lifting of one’s wine glass to the mouth and down counts as arm exercises. I sure hope so. Now follow the directions, put some love into it, and invite me over when it’s done.

Line a 9-inch-by-13-inch baking pan with foil or parchment paper (let edges hang over slightly to pull bars out of pan). Lightly grease. In small bowl, combine flour, salt, baking soda and cinnamon. Set aside. In large bowl, combine butter and banana. Add in brown sugar and agave nectar. Mix in eggs and vanilla, stir batter until well-combined. Stir flour mixture into wet mixture. Fold oatmeal into batter. Fold in cranberries, chocolate chips, sunflower seeds, almonds and walnuts. Press mixture into prepared pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until top is golden brown. Take out and let cool. Grab edges of foil (or parchment) and pull out onto counter. Cut into bars. Enjoy! Note: The nuts and dry fruit can be altered. This combo is my favorite, but you can can change it up and still come out with a great-tasting bar. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

Deli Zone

2900 Valmont Rd. #D1 Boulder 303-447-9349

1155 13th St., Boulder 720-353-4442

he dollar-to-flavor ratio at Pickled Lemon on The Hill is impressive, as this fast-casual locale offers up flavor-packed Middle Eastern plates priced at well under $10. Classic favorites like beef and lamb kabobs are given new life with such toppings as spicy-sweet Moroccan carrots, incongruous but flavorful Korean kimchi and the namesake pickled lemon. The herbed falafel is another noteworthy item, as these fried chickpea delights possess a remarkably delicate coating and light interior.

The Kitchen [Next Door]

1035 Pearl St., Boulder 720-542-8159

hree things distinguish The Kitchen [Next Door] from its namesake neighbor, namely a focus on swift service for time-constrained diners, menu offerings all less than $9, and a family-friendly emphasis. The kids menu features dishes priced at $5.95, and includes such dishes as a scaled-down version of the Kitchen’s famed pulled pork sandwich. For adults, the lamb sandwich with mint sauce, perfect with a side of roasted beets, is a fine choice, as is the salmon salad.

Wildflowers Restaurant 9009 Metro Airport Ave., Broomfield (formerly Jeffco Airport Ave.) 303-469-3900

un by a British-American family, Broomfield’s Wildflowers Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and high tea. The dinner menu reads like a greatest hits album of British Isles specialties, including bangers and mash, fish and chips and shepherd’s pie. The Lancashire Hotpot is a compelling preparation of lamb braised in Guinness over mashed potatoes, and desserts such as the fruit-infused trifle and Guinness chocolate cake provide an ideal Commonwealth ending. Definitely worth the drive to Broomfield.

Cuba Cuba Sandwicheria

2525 Arapahoe Ave., Boulder (The Village Shopping Center) 303-442-1143

oulder’s new Cuba Cuba Sandwicheria spotlights $7 Caribbean-inspired sandwiches, as well as $6.50 rice bowls topped with a choice of vegetables, beef, pork or fish. For $5.75, you can have a fresh Caesar or watercress salad, or a kids plate consisting of either a scaled-down bowl with juice or grilled ham and cheese. Each item represents good value for the money, particularly the meatless Boulder Cuban, featuring grilled veggies and goat cheese, and the delicious and addictive Mahi sandwich garnished with spicy garlic habanero aioli.

Tangerine

2777 Iris Ave., Boulder 303-443-2333

un by the same folks who operate the neighboring Arugula Ristorante, the recently opened Tangerine is bound to become a top North Boulder venue for breakfast and lunch. Compared to the brunch bill of fare, Tangerine’s lunch menu is relatively modest, featuring entrée salads such as an albacore nicoise, and classic sandwiches including Reubens and BLTs. The brunch menu is where the action is, as it includes delectably moist lemon ricotta pancakes topped with blueberries, and outstanding chicken and waffles.

ing as it is an enjoyably casual dining experience. Menus vary from week to week, so it’s best to call ahead to find out what’s cooking. On some evenings the entrée might be fried chicken or steak, on another night, clam pasta. One recent evening, it was a wonderfully executed barbecue dinner featuring both brisket and ribs, sided with extraordinary collard greens as well as macaroni and cheese.

Centro Latin Kitchen and Refreshment Palace

950 Pearl St., Boulder 303-442-7771

othing screams summertime more than cuisine from warm-weather climes, cool drinks and al fresco dining, all of which are available at Boulder’s Centro Latin Kitchen and Refreshment Palace. Centro serves up ceviche, tacos, tortas and platters featuring such specialties as chicken enchiladas with an optional fried egg, a suave avocado salsa dip and the Fresno chile lemonade.

Bácaro Venetian Taverna

921 Pearl St., Boulder 303-444-4888

nder the supervision of Executive Chef Fabio Flagiello, Boulder’s Bácaro Venetian Taverna serves winning Italian small plates and entrées to a West Pearl Street crowd. Especially noteworthy is their monthly bike ride and lunch, which affords an opportunity to try several menu options. These include first-rate fried calamari sided with both tangy marinara and luxurious aioli, fresh-flavored

2770 Arapahoe Rd., Lafayette 303-664-1275

ruly good Italian-American cooking is surprisingly hard to find locally. That’s a shame, because many crave the simple comforts of garlic bread, an unfussy salad, pasta and an Italian sweet. Fortunately, Lafayette’s Zamparelli’s Italian Bistro rises to the occasion with first-rate interpretations of red sauce standbys. Simple spaghetti and meatballs are a top choice here, as is the chicken marsala. Start with cheesy garlic bread and end with a cannoli, and you’ll have a near iconic meal.

Naraya Thai and Sushi

1575 Folsom St., Boulder 303-447-9718

nder new ownership, Boulder’s Naraya Thai and Sushi occupies the former Siamese Plate space. Though the old proprietor is long gone, the new incarnation provides a similar menu and ambience. The Thai lunch specials are a fine value, providing entrées with a choice of protein in the $7 to $8 price range. Excellent choices include the shrimp Pad Thai and a fine chicken red curry, distinguished by perfectly cooked corn, zucchini and eggplant that retain pleasing texture and fresh, individual flavors.

Ted’s Montana Grill

1701 Pearl St., Boulder 303-449-5546

pecializing in bison-based selections, Ted’s Montana Grill is a culinary endeavor spearheaded by billionaire Ted Turner. The menu straddles the line between straightforward bar food and traditional steakhouse, with such unique offerings as bison nachos and a plethora of burgers and steaks. While not inexpensive, the bison burgers, such as the Blue Creek with blue cheese and bacon, are generously sized and are both lean and flavorful.

Lucky Pie Pizza and Taphouse

637 Front St., Louisville 303-666-5743

he menu at Louisville’s Lucky Pie Pizza and Taphouse consists of a variety of starters, sandwiches, salads and brick oven pizza. Sophisticated starters include winter squash purée and tapenade, and although you’ll find archetypical Italian grinder sandwiches here, there are also roasted veggie selections with smoked mozzarella. The roasted beet salad, which comes with goat cheese and candied pecans, is first rate, as is the wonderful Hazel Dell Wild Mushroom pizza, topped with fresh arugula and a whisper of truffle oil.

Nothing to be afraid of by Michael Phillips

hen fantasy filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says he considers the 1973 made-forTV movie Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark the scariest thing ever made for the medium, he’s not really talking about the teleplay itself. He’s remembering, fondly, his own preteen susceptibility — what it was like to be a freaked-out kid watching a moderately well-made, cleverly suggestive haunted-house thriller (with goblins!). I felt the same way the year before when The Night Stalker aired, or watching another made-forTV scare picture from ’72, Gargoyles with Cornel Wilde, Jennifer Salt and Bernie Casey as the chief gargoyle. Memories — especially boomer memories — of what frightened us on TV as kids, and what might be worth a remake, are no less or more reliable than anyone else’s. Del Toro may have misjudged the source material in remaking Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark for a theatrical release, a new century, an R rating and a realigned narrative. There’s a good horror film to be gotten, again, out of that material. But this one’s fairly good at best. Filmed in and around Melbourne, Australia

A pretty smart idiot

loating through life on a personal high only partly provided by cannabis, the bearded, Crocs-sporting, semiprofessional farmer specializing in organics (or rather, “biodynamics”) is played, winningly, by Paul Rudd in an enjoyable shamble of a picture called Our Idiot Brother. The character qualifies less as an idiot than as the most trusting soul in America, a man of limited ambition but infinite warmth, crazier about his golden retriever, named Willie Nelson, than he is about anyone or anything else in his existence. The concept and marketing of Our Idiot Brother suggests raunchy arrested-development high jinks on the order of Step Brothers, or, to name a couple of pictures Rudd personally made better, I Love You, Man and Anchorman. This one’s different. It’s sweet and low-key. It’s very ’70s in its vibe, which helps when the script veers in and out of formula. Even when the characters (particularly the female ones) threaten twodimensionality, the actors have room to maneuver and create moments that stick. As Ned, Rudd runs the show, but it’s not a oneperson show. Essentially Our Idiot Brother is Chekhov’s Three Sisters with an idiot brother, an unofficial cousin Boulder Weekly

(standing in for somewhere in the eastern U.S.), we’re back in the mansion containing nasty little homunculi in the sub-basement region, though they’re bold enough to venture upstairs now and then. Guy Pearce plays a preoccupied architect renovating the house; Katie Holmes is his girlfriend. A key character has been added for the remake, the architect’s daughter, played by Bailee Madison. This unhappy girl, adjusting to her divorced parents’ new lives, hears the whispered, hissing invitations of the monsters when no one else can. As in del Toro’s widely admired Pan’s

Labyrinth, the young girl must navigate her way to safety, while convincing her elders that she’s not vindictive, a liar or losing her mind. Directed dutifully by first-time feature filmmaker Troy Nixey, the script adaptation by del Toro and Matthew Robbins develops a mythology about why the goblins are grabbing humans and their teeth through the centuries. The atmosphere of Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark never rests for a second, straddling both the ’73 film and a modern update. Some details remain old-school (a Polaroid camera plays a key role), others are new. To my taste there’s too much of everything. The soundtrack never shuts up with the wind, the murmurings, the shudderings. And while director Nixey has talent, his indiscriminately roving camera tends to diffuse the tension, not heighten it. Also, the human element goes wanting. Pearce in particular is not helped by his role as one of the more clueless dolts in the history of parenthood. All in all, in a different key, I prefer the remake of Fright Night. —MCT, Tribune Media Service Respond:letters@boulderweekly.com

by Michael Phillips of The Dude in The Big Lebowski. Early in the film, this little Lebowski makes the mistake of selling marijuana to a uniformed police officer at Ned’s local farmers’ market. Eight months later, Ned leaves prison and returns to the farm to find his girlfriend (Kathryn Hahn) has taken up with another, equally addleheaded stoner (T.J. Miller). All Ned wants, really, is his dog. Which his ex won’t give up easily. The three sisters have had a lifetime of Ned being Ned, i.e. causing inadvertent chaos. Co-screenwriter Evgenia Peretz, a Vanity Fair contributing editor, surely sees the weaselly magazine writer played by Elizabeth Banks as a repository of all things Ned is not: ambitious, selfish, tightly coiled. Zooey Deschanel plays the sister closest to Ned in spirit, a bisexual artist’s model whose girlfriend, played by Rashida Jones of Parks and Recreation, doesn’t know her lover has recently zinged back temporarily over the fence. Meantime, the third female sibling, played by Emily Mortimer, has buried her personality inside the

disdainful aura of her husband, a philandering documentary filmmaker (Steve Coogan). In various ways the grown sibs of Our Idiot Brother represent different, comical aspects of knucklehead liberalism, whether it’s a penchant for clothing made of flax, or Ned’s amusingly guilty reaction to not being up to accepting an offer made by a swinging couple at a party. Peretz wrote Our Idiot Brother with her husband, documentary filmmaker David Schisgall, and though the film doesn’t feel like a documentary, exactly, it doesn’t operate according to the usual slam-bang rhythms. As Ned’s guilelessness causes one relational crisis in his extended family after another, the jokes rarely land as conventional punch lines. For example: Ned, tagging along on his writer-sister’s interview with a reclusive socialite, ends up in an elevator with the profile subject. They’re getting along. He asks her on a date. The way she turns him down, and his reaction, cannot be described, really — merely enjoyed. Director Jesse Peretz (brother of the screenwriter) encourages a loose, unforced interplay among his cast members. Some of it’s routine, to be sure. But in a world of aggravating Little Fockers-level shrillness, or Hangover-style nastiness, Our Idiot Brother — small, but satisfying — is a pretty smart cookie. —MCT, Tribune Media Service Respond:letters@boulderweekly.com

MOVIE REVIEWS from Page 55

Denver FilmCenter/Colfax. — Denver Film Society Littlerock A sleepy-eyed exurb of Los Angeles is seen through the eyes of two young Japanese tourists, stranded there with a broken rental car. At Denver FilmCenter/Colfax. — Denver Film Society Midnight in Paris A lark, a souffle, a delightful shaggy-dog story with Owen Wilson as its shaggy hero. What’s he doing in a Woody Allen movie about a B-list screenwriter who time-travels from the present to the Jazz Age? Disarming the audience with his wistful joie de vivre, that’s what. Rated PG-13. At Century and Mayan. — Carrie Rickey One Day This movie follows a man and woman’s relationship over 20 years, revisiting them each year on the exact day that they first entered each other’s lives. Rated PG-13. At Flatiron, Century, Colony Square and Twin Peaks. — Los Angeles Times/ MCT Opera: Eugene Onegin Eugene Onegin is a selfish hero who lives to regret his blasé rejection of a young woman’s (Tatyana’s) love and his careless incitement of a fatal duel with Lensky, his best friend. At Boedecker. — Boedecker Theater

Rashomon

Senna

Through an ingenious use of camera and flashbacks, director/co-writer Akira Kurosawa (The Seven Samurai, Ran) reveals the complexities of human nature as four people recount different versions of the same story: the murder of a man and the rape of his wife. At Mayan. — Landmark Theatre

Brazilian Formula One racing legend Ayrton Senna’s story, charting his physical and spiritual achievements on the track and off, his quest for perfection, and the mythical status he has since attained. At Esquire. — Landmark Theatres

Rise of the Planet of the Apes

When the renegade crew of Serenity agrees to hide a fugitive on their ship, they find themselves in an action-packed battle between the relentless military might of a totalitarian regime that will destroy anything — or anyone — to get the girl back. At Esquire. — Landmark Theatres

Genetic experiments on primates lead to them developing intelligence and eventually battling humans for supremacy. Rated PG-13. At Flatiron, Century, Colony Square and Twin Peaks. — Los Angeles Times/MCT

Serenity

At Denver FilmCenter/Colfax. — Denver Film Society Sarah’s Key Sarah, a 10-year-old girl, is taken with her parents by the French police as they go door-to-door

A group of college students expecting a weekend of fun at a Louisiana lake island cabin find themselves terrorized by sharks. Rated PG-13. At Flatiron, Century, Colony Square and Twin Peaks. — Los Angeles Times/MCT The Smurfs A Smurfs movie was probably inevitable. But doesn’t this feel as if it’s arriving a decade late? Rated PG. At Flatiron and Twin Peaks. — Rene Rodriguez

Spy Kids: All the Time in the World A retired secret agent who has her hands full with a new baby and twin step-kids is called back into action to battle a supervillain and gets help from her family. Rated PG. At Flatiron, Century, Colony Square and Twin Peaks. — Los Angeles Times/MCT The Tree The exquisite Charlotte Gainsbourg (I’m Not There) stars in French filmmaker Julie Bertuccelli’s mystical drama of loss and rebirth in the Australian countryside. At Chez Artiste. — Boedecker Theater The Tree of Life The Tree of Life is the impressionistic story of a Midwestern family in the 1950s. The film follows the life journey of the family’s eldest son, Jack, through the innocence of childhood to his disillusioned adult years. At Esquire. — Landmark Theatres The Whistleblower Kathy (Academy Award winner Rachel Weisz) is an American police officer who takes a job working as a peacekeeper in post-war Bosnia. Her expectations of helping to rebuild a devastated country are dashed when she uncovers a dangerous reality of corruption, cover-up and intrigue. At Chez Artiste. — Landmark Theatres

March 21-April 19:

Strange but true: To pave the way for your next liberation, you will have to impose some creative limitations on yourself. In other words, there’s some trivial extravagance or unproductive excess in your current rhythm that is suppressing an interesting form of freedom. As soon as you cut away the faux “luxury” that is holding you back, all of life will conspire to give you a growth spurt.

TAURUS

April 20-May 20:

Using two tons of colorful breakfast cereal, high school students in Smithfield, Utah, helped their art teacher create a gymnasium-sized replica of Vincent van Gogh’s painting “Starry Night.” After admiring it for a few days, they dismantled the objet d’art and donated it as food to a farm full of pigs. You might benefit from trying a comparable project in the coming days, Taurus. What common everyday things could you use in novel ways to brighten up your personal palette? What humdrum part of your routine could you invigorate through the power of creative nonsense? It’s high time to try some experiments in play therapy.

GEMINI

May 21-June 20:

“The energy you use to read this sentence is powered, ultimately, by sunlight,” says science writer K.C. Cole, “perhaps first soaked up by some grass that got digested by a cow before it turned into the milk that made the cheese that topped the pizza. But sunlight, just the same.” That’s a good seed thought to meditate on during the current phase of your astrological cycle. In the coming weeks, you will thrive by gleefully remembering your origins, by exuberantly honoring the depths that sustain you and by reverently returning to the source for a nice, long drink of magic.

CANCER June 21-July 22:

Speaking about her character Harry on the TV show Harry’s Law, Cancerian actress Kathy Bates said, “Harry is her own woman. She isn’t going to take guff from anybody. I’m very much like her. I try to be diplomatic, but sometimes pterodactyls fly out of my mouth.” I wouldn’t always advise you to follow Bates’ lead, Cancerian, but in the coming week I do: Be as tactful and sensitive as possible, but don’t be shy about naming the difficult truths or revealing the hidden agendas. Pterodactyls may need to take wing.

LEO

July 23-Aug. 22:

“My green thumb came only as a result of the mistakes I made while learning to see things from the plant’s point of view,” said gardener H. Fred Ale. I urge you to experiment with a similar approach in your own chosen field, Leo. Conjure up more empathy than you ever have before in your life. Use your imagination to put yourself in the place of whomever or whatever it is you hope to nurture and commune with and influence. And be perfectly willing to make productive errors as you engage in this extravagant immersion.

VIRGO

Aug. 23-Sept. 22:

Avant-garde author Gertrude Stein was renowned for her enigmatic word play and cryptic intuitions, which brought great pleasure to her long-time companion Alice B. Toklas. “This has been a most wonderful evening,” Alice once remarked after an especially zesty night of socializing. “Gertrude has said things tonight it’ll take her 10 years to understand.” I expect that something similar could be said about you in the coming week, Virgo. It’s as if you’ll be glimpsing possibilities that won’t fully ripen for a while; as if you’ll be stumbling upon prophecies that will take months, maybe even years, to unveil their complete meaning.

LIBRA

Sept. 23-Oct. 22:

I periodically perform a public ritual called Unhappy Hour. During this focused binge of emotional cleansing, participants unburden themselves of their pent-up sadness, disappointment, frustration and shame. They may choose to mutter loud complaints or howl with histrionic misery or even sob uncontrollably. At the end of the ceremony, they celebrate the relief they feel at having freely released so much psychic congestion, and they go back out into the world feeling refreshed. Many people find that by engaging in this purge, they are better able to conjure up positive emotional states in the days and weeks that follow. It’s a perfect time for you to carry out your own Unhappy Hour, Libra. For inspiration, listen to my version here: http://bitly.

SCORPIO Oct. 23-Nov. 21:

Age of Mythology is a computer game that invites participants to strategically build up their own civilization and conquer others. There are of course many “cheats” that help you to bend the rules in your favor. For instance, the “Wrath of the Gods” cheat gives you the god-like powers of lightning storms, earthquakes, meteors and tornadoes. With “Goatunheim,” you can turn your enemies into goats, and “Channel Surfing” allows you to move your armies over water. But the cheat I would recommend for you right now, whether you’re playing Age of Mythology or the game of your own life, would be “Wuv Woo,” a flying purple hippopotamus that blows rainbows out its back end and blasts loveydovey hearts from its mouth. (P.S. Using it will make other good cheats easier to access.)

Of all the tribes of the zodiac, Sagittarius is most skilled at not trying too hard. That isn’t to say that you’re lazy or lax. What I mean is that when it’s time for you to up the ante and push toward your goal with more force and determination, you know how to cultivate a sense of spaciousness. You’ve got an innate knack for maintaining at least a touch of cool while immersed in the heat of the struggle. Even when the going gets tough, you can find oases of rejuvenating ease. In the coming week, I suggest you make an extra effort to draw on these capacities. You will need them more than usual.

TEE IT UP Top PGA Pros

CAPRICORN Dec. 22-Jan. 19:

Wild mountain goats in northern Italy have been photographed moseying their way up and across the near-vertical wall of the Cingino Dam dam. (Go here and scroll down seven rows to see photos: tinyurl.com/GoatTrick.) It looks impossible. How can they outmaneuver the downward drag of gravity, let alone maintain a relaxed demeanor while doing it? They are apparently motivated to perform this feat because they enjoy licking the salty minerals that coat the face of the dam. I foresee you having a comparable power in the coming weeks, Capricorn. Rarely have you been able to summon so much of your mountain goat-like power to master seemingly unclimbable heights.

AQUARIUS Jan. 20-Feb. 18:

Phrygia was an ancient kingdom in what is now Turkey. In its capital city was the Gordian Knot, a revered icon that symbolized the power of its ruler. According to legend, an oracle predicted that whoever would be able to untie this intricate knot would become the king of all Asia. Early in his military career, Alexander (who would later be called Alexander the Great) visited the capital and attempted to untie the Gordian Knot. He was unsuccessful, but then changed his tack. Whipping out his sword, he easily sliced through the gnarled weave. Some regarded this as the fulfillment of the prophecy, and Alexander did, in fact, go on to create a vast empire. Others say that he cheated — didn’t really do what the oracle had specified. And the truth is, his empire fell apart quickly. The moral of the story, as far as you’re concerned, Aquarius: Untie the knot, don’t cut through it.

PISCES

Feb. 19-March 20:

“If you don’t become the ocean, you’ll be seasick every day,” sings Leonard Cohen in his song “Good Advice for Someone Like Me.” I think you already know that, Pisces. Of all the signs of the zodiac, you’re the top expert in simulating the look and feel of an ocean. But even experts sometime need tune-ups; even professionals always have more to learn about their specialty. And I think this is one of those times when you will benefit from upgrading your skills. If your intentions are pure and your methods crafty, you just may reach a new level of brilliance in the art of living oceanically.
