A vote for privacy

Jeff Dodge’s excellent article exposing the traceability of ballots in Boulder (“Can your vote be traced?” Sept. 7) raises interesting political scenarios as well the obvious privacy concerns. Consistent with Dodge’s report, Clerk Hall has now reportedly communicated to Secretary Gessler that she will defy the intent of his “no-barcode” rule and will print identifying barcodes on Boulder’s ballots. Boulder Republicans and Libertarians may be silently cheering their Democratic clerk’s bizarre decision. Always in the minority in leftleaning Boulder, the conservatives know they will be outvoted on tax measures and candidates for office. But this year, some may gladly “waste their vote” knowing Boulder’s election could be voided in the courts due to Clerk Hall’s unconstitutional barcoding practices. The Colorado Supreme Court long ago set the legal precedent by voiding an election because of traceable ballots. Imagine the statewide impact of a lawsuit voiding the 125,000 estimated Obama votes in Boulder, while say, Republican-controlled Douglas County obeys the no-barcode order. Douglas County’s estimated 90,000 votes for

Romney would stand while Boulder’s election could be voided. The conservatives will happily have their ballots “voided” to see the tax increases and special district bond issues on the November ballot die, requiring a “do-over” election with predictably lower voter turnout. The state, if not the nation, will be fascinated as Clerk Hall explains to the press and the Democratic Party why she chose the barcodes over voters’ rights to a secret ballot and as Secretary Gessler explains why he fought Citizen

Center’s request for a federal court order to reverse Clerk Hall’s decision to print barcoded ballots. Citizen Center has asked the federal court to issue an injunction to protect Colorado’s election by stopping Clerk Hall’s practices. Gessler and Hall say no court order is needed. The issue will be argued in court on Sept. 21. Marilyn Marks/Aspen, CO

Stanford’s nose is growing

Thank you for pointing out the glaringly misleading media coverage on

this topic (“Media coverage misleading on Stanford’s organic vs. conventional food study,” Sept. 7). I choose to buy organic over conventional for the reasons that you stated: to attempt to lower the amount of toxins my body is bombarded with; to support local economies; and I’d like to add two more reasons: because organic foods have stronger flavor/taste and to avoid GMOs.

quotes

Seth Brigham’s legacy By Joel Dyer

eth Brigham is leaving Boulder after 30 years; at least that’s what he told me on Monday. So is it true? I’m sure he meant it when he said it, but I have no idea if he’ll actually move to Wisconsin as he’s planning. He has been known to change his mind. But regardless of whether or not he heads north, everyone in Boulder owes Brigham a debt of gratitude. He really has made a difference despite his selfdescribed struggles with manic depression, disruptive behavior and a few other demons. Brigham also told me that he won’t be suing the city or our council members, sans Morzel, over the city’s restraining order fiasco as he had originally intended. A judge recently ruled that the city’s request for a permanent restraining order was unwarranted, but Brigham says the stress of the whole restraining order mess caused him to “have a breakdown” and that he doesn’t have the wherewithal to keep fighting. I suspect that if Brigham hadn’t used his recent legal triumph to do a silly victory dance with somersaults in front of city council, as opposed to stepping to the microphone and asking certain council members to once and for all provide the public with the accurate and legally-required financial disclosure information he has been trying to pry out of them since just before the city attorney hit him with the original

restraining order, things might be different now. It’s quite likely that the city and the council members would have eventually wound up with their heads hanging on attorney David Lane’s office wall over a plaque reading “First Amendment Trophy.” But in the end, Brigham’s giving up the fight probably won’t make much difference, not with this city’s current leaders. Even had he won a federal suit, this group of elected officials would simply have given Brigham a big bag full of your money, while whining that they were the real victims. Sadly, for whatever the reason, arrogance, ignorance, insecurity or fear, it seems that many of our current city leaders are incapable of admitting when they screw up. And that’s too bad, because it also likely means that they are incapable of learning any lessons from their mistakes regardless of whether such miscues are being pointed out by a judge, the news media or a lousy singer doing somersaults. I said earlier that all of us in Boulder owe Brigham a debt of gratitude, here’s why; before Brigham’s antics and court battle, I believe that many, if not most, of us had gotten lazy and complacent regarding our local government, and I put myself at the top of that lazy list. Until we started looking into Brigham’s restraining order and BRIGHAM from Page 11

LETTERS from Page 7

Monsanto hits below the belt

I want to thank you for your indepth article on Monsanto and its dangers beyond gmos (“Monsanto’s point of no return,” Aug. 30). Where there is no moral conscience for the use of power, big corporations can be extremely dangerous to the welfare and future of us citizens. And attacking our food supply and the strength of our genetic diversity is striking us below the belt. If Monsanto cares for nothing but their profits, we have to be the adults in the society who cultivate a long-term vision for the health and vitality of the human species, and we have to really work to manifest that vision. Whereas the outcome of this election may be important, it is far less critical than the outcome of our food supply. Mikl Brawner/Boulder Full credit for exposing the consolidation in the gmo (genetically modified organism) seed market by Monsanto. This is, of course, uncompetitive and anticapitalist. However, the author misses a couple crucial points. First, roundup-ready seed means less roundup pesticide is used. This is an environmental boon, since less weedkilling pesticide is, by any measure, an environmentally favorable outcome. Traditional

seed varietals may not be “frankenseeds,” but they suffer higher crop losses due to weeds and bugs no matter the weedkiller used, which raises prices as commodity costs increase. This is in addition to imposing a higher environmental cost. Also, larger acreages are required for an equivalent yield using traditional varietals instead of gmo seed, meaning more arable land being farmed and less forest coverage, with all that implies in lessened mitigation of carbon sequestration. The second issue raised by the article is one of misinterpretation, or perhaps, ommission. Russia, China and the EU have not banned gmos due to public pressure or idealism. That gives far too much credit to their politicians and bureaucracies. Rather, public pressure has been used by the governments as a convenient way to maintain protectionist walls around their (inefficient and subsudized) agricultural sectors. There is an entire can of worms opened by this, from economic distortions to problems in the worldwide food chain. The debate about Monsanto is necessary and healthy, especially regarding their monopoly of the agricultural “killer app” that is roundup. But I’d say there are plenty of grey areas in the greater debate about gmo crops themselves. Lawrence Pearlman/Black Hawk Boulder Weekly

in case you missed it

AS THE WARD TURNS Read the quote below very carefully. It was part of a statement released Monday by CU in response to Ward Churchill losing his court appeal to get his teaching job back at the university. “It is vital that what is published and what is taught in the classroom be based on research and scholarship grounded in honest, accepted and time-tested methods. This was always what was at stake in this case for the university, and the winners today are our faculty and students.” — CU Chancellor Phil DiStefano Based on this quote, Phil DiStefano has committed an offense that is worthy of his being terminated. At least that’s true if he holds himself to the same standard he is apparently setting for Ward Churchill. Think about it, DiStefano is blatantly rewriting the history of the Churchill case and in so doing, is himself guilty of publishing false information that is not based on “research” or “grounded in honest” anything. To imply, as he obviously is, that Ward Churchill’s scholarly track record is what “was always at stake in this case for the university” is simply not true, it is low-quality revisionist Phil DiStefano history at best. So listen up CU students. Your chancellor is trying to trick you into thinking that your school did nothing wrong when it fired Ward Churchill and that it was only trying to protect you and your education from his evil scholarly ways. In 2009, as DiStefano is painfully aware, the courts found that Ward Churchill was wrongfully terminated by the University of Colorado for exercising his right to free speech. Apparently the chancellor’s scholarly research failed to turn up that fact. Or maybe he just has a different standard for his time-tested method of teaching …or should we say marketing. ROMNEY FLIPS, THEN FLOPS Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney flip-flops more than a sandal store. By all rights he should lose the unearned nickname “Mittens” and get a new one: “Crocs.” Ignore the many moderate positions Romney the Governor once held that now clash with the views of Romney the Candidate. Watching Romney zoom from one side of an issue to another this past week alone has been like watching a tennis match from the net, only with more whiplash. Take his health care debacle. During a Sept. 9 appearance on Meet The Press, Romney said he would preserve two major parts of the Affordable Care Act, namely coverage for pre-existing conditions and letting children stay on their parents’ plans for longer. Then, once his handlers realized he had contradicted everything the GOP has stood for in the past two years, he issued a statement clarifying the “marketplace,” not a President Romney, will provide those two things to the public. (Except, obviously, it hasn’t — hence the need for the law.) Then a Romney aide re-clarified the clarifying statement to say that he would insure that Romney would make sure that “discrimination against individuals with pre-existing conditions who maintain continuous coverage is prohibited.” Follow that? Romney reversed his position and supported parts of the federal health care law (the same parts he championed while passing a similar law as governor of Massachusetts) then flipped around and said he didn’t support them, then flopped to the other side and said that he would. At this point, it’s hard to know what Romney believes regarding health care. He seems to wish his years governing Massachusetts could be forgiven, as if the term he spent revolutionizing health care in the state was merely a youthful dalliance, like buying a Backstreet Boys CD or sporting a Jheri curl. But like so many other issues (gay rights, gun control and abortion), Romney’s true beliefs on health care are proving difficult to pin down. But who knows what the future will bring. Maybe Romney will soon clarify, with finality, his positions on the issues important to America. Then he’ll probably release a statement reversing his previous positions. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com Boulder Weekly

BRIGHAM from Page 8

his emails to the city regarding improper financial disclosure forms, it doesn’t appear that any journalists in recent times had been keeping a proper eye on the issues of disclosure, campaign finance and conflicts of interest for members of city council. We shouldn’t have needed to be reminded by a local political gadfly to do our job. But alas, the newsrooms of Boulder made the same mistake as our local government. We ignored the hundreds of emails Brigham was sending to all of us because of who he was and how he acted, not because what he was saying was wrong. As a result of the investigative reporting we have done stemming from our original Brigham story, I have to say we now have a clearer picture of how this particular Boulder government works. We can see who is pulling whose strings and where proper checks and balances no longer exist. This is important to know at a time when Boulder’s government, including a majority of council members, is increasingly showing itself to be more concerned with “pretty” and “propertyvalue” issues than “people” issues. Sadly, Brigham’s case is only one in recent days where council along with a wink and a nod from the city attorney’s office has shown itself to be increasingly enthusiastic for suppressing free speech. I find it to be pretty bizarre behavior for a local government in a place like Boulder that once prided itself on its commitment to protecting civil rights and individual freedoms. At one time we were such a liberal community that our government didn’t spend most of its time looking for ways to stop people from protesting things or trying to prevent college students from drinking or otherwise being … college students. But back to the issue at hand. So Seth Brigham says he’s leaving. If he really does go, he will be leaving behind a lasting legacy. For all of his goofiness and admittedly obnoxious behavior, Brigham reminded many of us in Boulder that what our local government does, or doesn’t do, is important. I can’t speak for every member of the news media in Boulder, but I can guarantee you that this paper will do its best to fulfill its role as government watchdog going forward. That includes, of course, checking and rechecking every disclosure form filed for every person running for or holding elected office in Boulder County. And when we find incorrect information, which history says is likely, we’ll tell you, our readers, so you can make informed decisions about who to vote for. We will also continue to make such Boulder Weekly

discoveries known to City Attorney Tom Carr. Hopefully, at some point, he will decide to take action to correct the growing pattern of disclosure issues instead of acting as chief apologist for those who don’t play by the rules. Or here’s a novel idea, in honor of Brigham’s leaving town, city council members should celebrate by just voluntarily correcting their old inaccurate disclosure forms tomorrow. They can do it. They actually don’t need Tom Carr’s permission to be honest or a newly designed disclosure form to do

the right thing, right now. It is, and has been all along, simply their choice to not immediately provide corrected disclosure information. Which is perhaps the most bewildering aspect of this whole Brigham affair. All Brigham did was point out a couple of glaring omissions on a few disclosure forms of current council members. But instead of just providing the corrected information, the city has instead sought restraining orders, suggested the rewriting of the city charter, launched a process to completely invent

a new disclosure form rather than just filling in the blanks correctly on the old one, and to this day, nearly five months after the corrected disclosure information was required by law to be made public, not one corrected piece of information has been put forward. In fact, the city has now removed the disclosure forms, including those in question, from their website. Methinks the city doth protest too much. Thanks for waking us up, Mr. Brigham.

atty Limerick is sitting, incorrigible as ever, in her cluttered office, wearing a T-shirt that reads, “It’s a greater thing to be a good citizen than a good Republican or a good Democrat.” It’s not just a lesson for the upcoming election. It’s also a glimpse into the mindset of a CU-Boulder professor who refuses to take the easy way out and point fingers when it comes to controversial issues. From the vilification of hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,” to the criticism that the Denver Water Board has taken in recent decades for the ways it has secured H2O for the Front Range, Limerick seems to be willing to

Boulder Weekly

ignore popular opinion and take an objective, scientific look at what the real story is behind the hyperbole. Regarding the former topic, which has made headlines in recent years thanks to questions about fracking’s possible health impacts, the director of CU’s Center of the American West may be on the verge of becoming one of its experts, historically speaking. Limerick is a co-investigator in CU’s fracking-related research proposal for a project that may be first in line for a $12 million grant from the National Science Foundation. Funding for that multi-institution project, titled “Routes to Sustainability: Natural Gas Development and Air and Water Resources in the Rocky Mountain Region,” is expected to be announced within the next couple of weeks, and CU officials say the university could be named the lead university in the multi-disciplinary effort to examine the effects of hydraulic fracturing and related extraction processes. see WATER Page 14

WATER from Page 13

For her part, Limerick points out that the term “fracking” refers only to a specific portion of the modern oil and gas extraction process, leaving out things like drilling, casing, transportation and disposal. “Fracking has become the word for putting anything into the ground,” Limerick says with a wry smile, suggesting a possible conversation among local activists: “Why are you fracking the garden?” “I’m just planting a tomato.” “No, you’re fracking.” She takes the same approach to Western hydrology issues, of which fracking is not disassociated, thanks to its much-publicized use of millions of gallons of water. When presented with the dilemma of siding with Denver Water for her new book (it helped fund the project) or joining with the chorus of environmental activists who have condemned the damming and redistribution of water on the Western Slope to feed the thirsty urban and suburban sprawl of the Front Range, she takes a rational approach, acknowledging both sides. Apparently, it’s the timing of their arrival on the scene that is problematic. Limerick’s A Ditch in Time: The City, the West, and Water, which she coauthored with Jason Hanson, presents a national case study — in this instance, Denver — for why there is so much tension now between past and current priorities when it comes to what has been called the new gold rush of the West. And it involves a mirror. **** The writing project started about seven years ago, she explains, but was a piecemeal effort with multiple contributors that she didn’t reclaim and see through until two and a half years ago, when she began remodeling the manuscript — as workers were remodeling her house. One of the central tenets of the book, released this month, is that Denver Water, originally charged with securing the water resources necessary to support a burgeoning population, in recent years has been told to be more respectful of the origins and other uses of that water. “While I am not an apologist for Denver Water, working on this book has left me reluctant to offer a complacent condemnation of the organization and its leadership,” Limerick writes in the introduction. “Why? Because those of us who live in the American West

“No one is going to fall over dead on a dry lawn. It is a standard of beauty brought from different locations and their rainfall and river size.” — Patty Limerick, author, CU professor and director of CU’s Center of the American West

today are dependent on, complicit with, and indebted to the organizations and institutions that disrupted the ecosystems and disturbed the landscapes that, a little late in the game, we came to treasure. This is a paradox that is not going to go away, and it is a source of much mischief if denied and evaded. Handled with honesty, the paradox provides the best footing we have for moving toward a more honest and productive relationship to natural resources and the managers to whom, for so long, we delegated the responsibility to acquire those resources and to supply them on demand.” **** Indeed, it is lawn waterers and unmindful tap-turners with whom Limerick seems to have the most issue. As for the notion that we must have green lawns — in case we occasionally walk on them barefoot or the neighbors gaze upon them — she says it is only right that such hydration should be the first to go when we have watering restrictions. After all, more than half of Denver Water use goes toward outdoor irrigation. “No one is going to fall over dead on a dry lawn,” Limerick says, laughing. “It is a standard of beauty brought from different locations and their rainfall and river size.” Even if a good portion of the water that we use to make our grass green ends up back in the hydrological cycle, she asks, was it worth it to take it from the Western Slope? And perhaps the most irritating people for Limerick are most of us: those who simply turn on the faucet and take it for granted, without being aware of what was involved in getting it into our house in the first place. It is this water journey and its politics, specifically in the case of the metro Denver area, that Limerick focuses on in her new tome, which is a successor to The Legacy of Conquest, the

25-year-old book that helped make her one of CU’s faculty superstars. Among the near-ridiculous paths that she documents in water’s local journey is the transference of runoff from the Western Slope via the Gumlick Tunnel over to the Front Range, then back to the Western Slope through the Vasquez Tunnel, and finally over the Continental Divide again through the Moffat Tunnel, to quench the demands of Denver-area residents and their landscapes. **** Limerick acknowledges on one of the book’s first pages that Denver Water provided funding to support some of the background research for the book, but that funding “carried no strings and placed no constraints on the book’s content, analysis, and interpretation.” In short, Limerick insists that the contribution did not taint her examination of the organization’s activities and relationships. She says she followed the same path she always follows in an academic inquiry, learning about and representing all sides she can find. “It’s like musical chairs, where you get to sit in someone else’s chair for a short time and move on,” Limerick says. “And you try to find a pattern in the universe.” And she makes no apologies for coming to Denver Water’s defense where others have taken that institution to task, describing it as a case of changing priorities. “Like many other agencies involved in natural-resource management, Denver Water scrupulously and wholeheartedly pursued goals that had been identified as progress,” she writes in the book. “Abruptly, the definition of progress changed directions. In the manner of Dr. Jekyll turning into Mr. see WATER Page 15

Hyde, projects that had once been perceived as advancing civilization, making the desert bloom, and supporting prosperity through growth were recategorized as intrusions and impositions that disrupted tranquil landscapes and natural harmony. Heroes of American development were recast as arrogant imperialists of human dominance.” When it comes to an issue that hits home with Boulder-area residents, she says she can appreciate both sides of Denver Water’s controversial attempt to increase the size of Gross Reservoir through increased Western Slope diversions. Limerick explains that she has ties to both Denver Water and neighbors of Gross Reservoir, and while she acknowledges the valid complaints that have been made about the water giant’s effort to siphon even more of our most valuable liquid from the mountains and the already-parched Colorado River basin, she notes that there is “exurban sprawl” around the reservoir. Wells and homes have been built in sensitive environmental areas, and residents there use fossil-fuel vehicles and state-sponsored roads to get there, so no one is completely innocent, Limerick asserts. “It’s hard to live on this planet without having an impact,” she says. “It’s very easy to live in Boulder and not realize that we are recipients of water diversion from the Western Slope.” Her book is about “how oblivious I choose to be in the future,” she says. “We’re in better shape when we acknowledge that we’re complicit, too. … Maybe we should start handing out mirrors.” **** Limerick also raises the issue of density. Contrary to the ideals of Edward Abbey, John Muir and Henry David Thoreau, she suggests that instead of trampling on more wild lands, it might be better to — gasp — increase building heights in Boulder. After all, she says, high-density development reduces our environmental footprint and reminds us “that we have feet, and can walk, or take the bus.” Limerick adds that she is particularly intrigued when two opposite sides — like the ranchers and farmers who have historically been at odds with Denver Water over their most important resource — join together when faced with an apparent common enemy like the oil and gas industry, which needs water for fracking. “That’s interesting to me when everyone is divided into teams, and Boulder Weekly

fighting hard to win, and then they’re shaken up like dice,” she says. “I think that’s the magic moment I dream of, that realization that it’s hard to take these positions of purity.” Everyone has a vested interest in seeing a well casing completed properly, perhaps the oil and gas industry the most, since it has the most to lose, Limerick says. “Who has an interest in a contaminated water supply?” she asks. “Who

goes home to his wife and says, ‘It was a great day, we contaminated a water supply, and that’s been on my bucket list for ages’? To be in a state of rage against each other and be dependent on each other, it’s not the best we can do.” When asked how the research for the book changed her personal life and practices, Limerick cites predictable outcomes like adopting xeriscaping and reducing her home water usage.

Then she cites a twist in everyday encounters that we all take for granted. “I can’t go to a drinking fountain without thinking, ‘This is really nice, having a drinking fountain,’” she says. “Or going to a restaurant and being offered water by the waiter and saying, ‘Why, how nice that is. And yes, I’d like water, but can I also get a half an hour to tell you about the network that brought it here?’” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

to remain open, whether or not you’ve adjusted your name/location/ownership to comply with other changing regulations. Now it’s even harder for Colorado dispensaries to profit, thanks to their multiplying taxes. One small-business owner in Boulder expects to owe an additional $100,000 a year — money he doesn’t have, because he’s invested it in his business. Yes, our country needs tax dollars. But dispensaries aren’t the only businesses selling controlled substances: Others sell Oxycodone, Vicodin, morphine. In 2007, the US pharmaceutical industry collected $315 billion, and their revenue keeps rising. If 280E was enforced, their taxes would go a long way towards reducing our national deficit. But the pharmaceutical industry enjoys a relaxed tax rate, about 40 percent less than other industries, according to a Public Citizen report. Those companies get tax breaks for paying their executives high stock-option-supplemented salaries. (At least one pharma giant paid its CEO more than it paid the government in taxes last year.) They receive tax credits and subsidies for research and development. Tax dollars fund most pharmaceutical R&D, so how much is the industry really spending? None of your business. Thanks to a nine-year legal battle the industry fought and won in Supreme Court (Bowsher v. Merck and Co.), they don’t have to disclose R&D records. No disclosure needed: It’s just medicine. Dispensary owners only have to sign away privacy rights and submit a Boulder Weekly

22-page application measuring their “moral character.” (Question #672D: What is the value of your spouse’s great-aunt’s stock portfolio divided by the average age of your pets?) Even extraneous MMJ folks like me can’t escape the disclosure demands. The state department of revenue has, currently on file, a diagram mapping of the bodily locations of my tattoos. (Not a joke.) Pharmaceutical giants justify their secrecy and skimpy taxes by citing the high “risk” they face. If only the marijuana industry was riskier. Like, if crop failures due to pests were increasing because inspectors now tramp through grow after grow without changing clothes; or if MMJ grows were now especially vulnerable to break-ins, due to state regulations now requiring that their locations be made public. Or if, say, dispensaries could be shut down by the federal government at any moment. Both the marijuana industry and the federal government face changes in November, when Colorado votes on legalizing marijuana, and the country decides between candidates whose campaigns focus on taxes and small business. In a safer, healthier, more economically-stable America, marijuana would be legal — or would at least be a Schedule II drug like Oxycodone, not a Schedule I drug like heroin. That wouldn’t be a full victory for MMJ — but at least the taxes would be easier. Cecelia Gilboy owns Colorado Quality Collective, the first wholesale marijuana brokerage licensed by the state.

‘The Human Quest’ calls for new Industrial Revolution

Power from windmills like these at Skutskär may be crucial to achieving a global clean energy revolution. According to some estimates, wind power has the potential to supply all of the world’s electricity—roughly 20 times the current electricity consumption in China and the U.S. combined.

Swedish writer and photographer say the planet is fast approaching critical boundaries

by Alyssa Hurst

umans have taken over the “planetary driving seat,” according to The Human Quest: Prospering within Planetary Boundaries. Through the “language of art and science,” writer Johan Rockström and photographer Mattias Klum work to steer the world’s “drivers” down a different road. Without a serious change, they argue, we are doomed to a future in which the “world drives at an ever faster pace toward the escarpment, along our unsustainable and undesirable development highway.” Both Rockström and Klum were contacted during the reporting of this story, but are attending the International Union for Conservation of Nature World Conservation Congress and were unavailable for an interview. The book, currently only available in the United States as an e-book, describes nine thresholds that form a boundary for human growth. Should we

surpass all of these thresholds, Rockström and Klum tell us, society is in for disastrous events. According to The Human Quest, the world requires a large-scale paradigm shift of industrial revolution proportions, especially considering that Rockström and Klum’s analysis indicates that one of the “Big Three Boundaries” — climate change — has already been surpassed. Rockström and Klum have defined a planetary boundary for the human combustion of fossil fuels. The concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere needs to stay within that boundary to maintain safe human societies and avoid catastrophic events. They set this level between 350 parts per million (ppm) and 550 ppm. Currently, we are on a path that will bring us to 560 ppm, Rockström and Klum argue. Many, like 350 Science, a project that gets its name from the 350 ppm boundary, agree that this is a scientifically supported number, and that the

world has reached a level of 392 ppm. According to their website, this number is increasing by 2 ppm per year. Others, however, disagree with the weight that 350 Science and the authors of The Human Quest place on this statistic. “In general I think the idea of a tipping point is a pop cultural concept,” says Myron Ebell, director of energy and global warming at the Competitive Enterprise Institute. “The term can be applied in certain areas and can be used correctly, but because of Malcolm Gladwell, it’s applied mistakenly.” Ebell continues, “If you go back, you will find long periods where the Earth was much warmer, and carbon dioxide levels were in the thousands parts per million, not hundreds like we are now.” According to Rockström and Klum, the scientific evidence indicates that the climate change boundary is the first, and thus far, only boundary that the Earth has transgressed. They attribute this conclusion to factors such as the

retreat of summer sea ice in the Arctic Ocean, the shrinking of mountain glaciers and accelerated melting of ice sheets in Greenland and West Antarctica. Other trends that they point to include an increased rate of sea level rising, bleaching and mortality rates in coral reefs, increasing numbers of massive floods, and emissions of methane from thawing permafrost on the Siberian peninsula. The fact that such environmental factors have spilled over into the socioeconomic sphere is cold evidence pointing to a clear boundary transgression, Klum and Rockström argue. Events like the outbreak of mountain pine beetles, the effects of which are certainly seen in Colorado, are not only evidence of climate change, but also show how such change can affect human industries, like forestry, as well as human livelihood, See HUMAN QUEST Page 22

HUMAN QUEST from Page 21

according to the pair. Here, the catastrophic effects that Rockström and Klum warn of come into play. Crossing into this “danger zone” could lead to extreme weather and conditions that modern societies are not prepared to deal with, they say. The extreme weather patterns that have been manifesting themselves in recent years could become the “new normal.” Though the information offered by the pair is plentiful and the outlook appears to be bleak, Rockström and

Klum aim to inspire, not scare. “Our deep, scientifically founded concerns for the future are coupled by an equal share of hope, based on the vast treasure of opportunities and the good chances of succeeding in a global transition to a world within the safe operating space of planetary boundaries,” Rockström writes in the conclusion of The Human Quest. The successful turnaround of another of the “Big Three Boundaries,” stratospheric ozone depletion, is a beacon for Rockström and Klum as to the

possibility of success. “Fortunately, international efforts to protect the ozone layer are somewhat of a success story, and we now appear to be on a path that is projected to prevent transgression of this planetary boundary,” Rockström writes. Though Klum and Rockström say worldwide efforts could have a halting effect on climate change, others, like Ebell, say otherwise. “I think most lifestyle changes that people undertake may have very beneficial effects for them personally in terms

of their self-esteem. But what allows mankind to address and deal with global issues is technological progress, and that depends on the creativity of the society,” Ebell says. As Klum describes Mafia Island, a place he calls a “sliver of paradise,” he summarizes the message of their joint venture: “We are now a species with the power to alter Earth. This is the mind shift. To wake up each morning without any reason to put in doubt our common course of action.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

Brooks Carter on the Intrepid Loop near Dead Horse Point, Utah

’m probably too young to be making jokes about dating myself with cultural references, but I’ll take this one — remember the T-shirts about biking in Moab that boasted “I survived” and when you came home bloody after a weekend on slickrock, you felt like, yeah, I did survive. Just barely. Moab may still be king of tough biker country (and we mean spandex, not black leather), but every year additional trails are popping up to add new terrain — and that includes tough enough terrain to keep experts entertained, but let the intermediate and beginner riders get some miles in, too.

developers and land managers has let up to 80 new miles of trails be opened or proposed in the last four years and cut back the number of illegal trail miles. The model is one other places, including trail developers in Colorado, are looking to mimic. But I didn’t know any of this when I got in a van with Brooks Carter, who retired from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and started guiding mountain bike rides with Rim Tours in Moab seven years ago, and headed out toward the singletrack trails at Dead Horse Point. It’s a 45-minute drive to Dead Horse from downtown Moab, and while passing other cyclists unloading at areas along the way, Carter starts talking about the latest addition to the Moab trail system, 7-Up. Carter designed that route with Trail Mix, a volunteer committee that assembles trail users, particularly bikers, to create, update and maintain Moab’s classic bike rides. Their work includes Magnificent 7, Pipe Dream, the Colorado River-Gemini Bridges bike/pedestrian path, the Moab Brand Trails (Bar-M, Circle-O, Rockin’-A and Bar-B) and the Whole Enchilada Trail System. Volunteers remove brush from trails, rake them, line the trails with rocks, and move dirt and rocks into and out of the trails, sometimes with a grip hoist. In August, they opened the 7-Up trail, a new seven-mile trail that starts from the same trailhead as the Magnificent 7 trail on Gemini Bridges Road before arching through pinyon forest and connecting back to Highway 313, the road to Dead Horse Point. The trail is in a group of new trail developments, including Getaway, the main section of

which was finished this year and will eventually connect to 7-Up, Great Escape, which is a year old, and Bull Run, a two-year old trail. “One of the things that we’ve been looking at in Moab is the need to develop some trails that just aren’t all the hardest thing you can think of to ride — because that used to be what Moab was known as.

a T-shirt that you’re still alive and you made it through these trails,” Carter says. “We were like, well how about something for the intermediate biker that’s really fun and challenging but it’s not death defying, and that’s what these trails are like. They’re really fun, there’s a lot of technical in it, but not so hard technical that only expert riders can ride it.” The trails flow above red rock canyons and provide enough of a challenge to keep expert riders entertained, but still allow intermediates to get some mileage in. Most mountain biking trails — legally developed ones — have a longer gestation period than humans. Carter started work last year designing another new trail on the north end of the Klondike Bluff area, beginning initially with aerial photographs then walking the trail, setting up cairns for where it would go. “I got that partially done, or at least I thought I was done, then you have to take Trail Mix, the group, with you, to go out and walk the trail,” he says. “You spend your time and you say, ‘OK, now come see if this looks like what Trail Mix wants to spend its money and its trail miles to build.’ They looked at it and they liked 80 percent of the

years before the trail is open to ride. Once the BLM gets to take a look, its staff will review the trail for its proximity to sensitive areas, which can include buffers around nesting raptors, migrating desert bighorn sheep, cultural resources and hiking-specific sites. The BLM’s resource management plan, which was signed into action in 2008, allows for 150 miles of new trails. “We understand that Moab is a mecca for mountain biking and at the time there was quite a worry that Moab was going to lose its hegemony to Fruita, both from recreational opportunities but also from an economic opportunity,” says Katie Stevens, recreational technician with the BLM Moab Field Office. “A lot of people who do come to recreate in Moab come specifically for biking, so it’s quite an economic engine and we were really sympathetic to that and, you know, part of our mission is to provide recreation opportunities too and mountain bikers are a big portion of our recreators.” Trail Mix represents the interests of non-motorized trail users, but because there are no laws against horseback riders and hikers going wherever they want — though that’s not the preferred use of BLM land — the bulk of the attention goes to maintenance and development of mountain biking trails. The collaboration between the two has made it easier on both ends — the

BLM has seen a significant reduction in illegal trail development, according to Stevens, and Trail Mix, in learning more about the sensitive areas the BLM protects, has learned to check those maps and work around them. “We had a considerable illegal trail issue and since we’ve set up the mechanism of how to do this right — you just don’t go out and do it, you go with proper environmental consultation and looking at all the issues — I think, it probably hasn’t stopped but it’s certainly much less of a problem,” Stevens says. And some of those new trails that opened in the Magnificent 7 area were created specifically to reroute illegal trails — saving the BLM a perpetual thorn in its tire while keeping riders happily pedaling along highly coveted terrain. They’ve shut down 30 or 40 miles of illegal trails, she says, and they probably didn’t know half of it. Illegal trail riding is punished by fines and an officer can require a mandatory court appearance — meaning coming back to scenic Moab to stand in front of a judge instead of a canyon vista. Overall, Stevens says, the collaboration has led to more sustainable trails — ones that don’t threaten the rest of the desert environment, but also don’t wash out in the rain. “I’ve got a few bike trail proposals from Trail Mix in front of me right now, and we look at a whole host of issues,” Stevens says. “I’d say the biggest issue we’ve had so far has been Boulder Weekly

Trail builders also know to call the BLM when they find something like a shard of pottery, and once called in an orange and black fragment that contributed to a developing theory about the trade routes Native Americans used, because its style is so different from that native to the area. “Our archaeologists have turned all the Trail Mix people into junior archaeologists,” Stevens says. Trail designers like Carter also know to check the maps for wildlife migration patterns before submitting a proposal. And when the proposals come in with all those considerations in mind, Stevens says, and are in the areas designated for biking, not all of which even have trails yet, they’re pretty much a slam dunk — or insert the equivalent biking metaphor. “We try not to say just ‘No,’ but ‘Where could move it that this could work?’” Stevens says.

miles. “I’m actually not worried that we’re going to bump up against that ceiling,” Stevens says. Trail developers in Fruita are among those looking at the model in Moab. But while those trails are great, Carter says, personal opinion — it’s not much of a competition. Cooperation, however, could see developments that expand on routes like the Kokopelli trail, connecting the two towns and letting riders pass between. “There’s so little resources in federal land management in terms of economic and human resources that there has to be some kind of public private partnership to make anything work,” says Ryan Schutz, Rocky Mountain regional director for the International Mountain Bicycling Association. And around the region, having those partnerships in place has cut back on illegal trail development. “If program for your users, then they’ll stop trying to do it for themselves, so providing great trails generally solves the illegal trail building issue,” he says. Setting out on the Intrepid Loop, Carter has us geared up to cruise along the canyon rim, peeking down on stretches of red desert. It’s a good intermediate ride with plenty of corners to lean into and a few bumps uphill to whoop over. We survive — better than just barely. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

Hot Rize

Nick Forster talks about his bluegrass band’s Boulder base by Sebastian Murdock

olorado is well known for its folksy bluegrass scene. Bands like Leftover Salmon, The String Cheese Incident and Yonder Mountain String Band sell out shows all along the Front Range, and Colorado is also home to the yearly, highly-successful RockyGrass festival that brings together musicians from all over the states. But it’s the well-established banjo-pickin’ members of Hot Rize who helped give Colorado its reputation as one of the biggest states for bluegrass in the nation. Started in 1978, Hot Rize — Tim O’Brien, Pete Wernick, Bryan Sutton and Nick Forster — paved the way for Boulder’s music scene as they struggled to find venues at which to play. Forster, who plays electric bass, lap-steel pedal, mandolin and banjo and provides vocals for the band, says he and his bandmates had to help create a bluegrass music scene in Boulder. “Ultimately we had to break a lot of new ground,” Forster says. “Frankly, there were not a lot of opportunities for bluegrass bands to perform in and around Boulder when we started. So it was an interesting period of time where we had a hard time getting local bars to sort of trust that bluegrass music would be something that could be popular. For example, we went up to Niwot and rented the Grange Hall and put on some shows ourselves in a venue that we rented ourselves, which created an opportunity for us to just see HOT RIZE Page 35

have shows. So we are in some ways, I guess, pioneers of that scene.” Hot Rize gets its name from an ingredient found in Martha White flour and cornbread mix. Forster says bandmate Wernick decided on the name. “Pete Wernick had been in a band called Country Cookin back in New York and was very conscious and very aware of the bluegrass music world and also very sensitive to marketing ideas,” Forster says. “He was also the only guy I knew who always carried a pen and a pad, so he always had some way to capture whatever ideas came to him.” Forster says the idea came from the strong influence that Martha White flour had on bluegrass music of the day, after the famous bluegrass band, Flat and Scruggs, performed the theme song and endorsed the down-home country cooking of Martha White flour products. “So that was his inspiration and luckily he had the pad handy and he wrote it down and it all worked,” Forster says. After years of successful records and touring, Hot Rize disbanded in 1990 as the members pursued solo careers. But when member Charles Sawtelle was tragically diagnosed with leukemia, Forster says the band decided to reunite in support of not only their band member, but close friend. “As Charles was going through his treatment and all of the care involved in treating that disease, we realized it was a big morale booster for him to occasionally have Hot Rize shows for him to play, and so we started playing more of those just to make sure he always had something on his calendar to look forward to,” he says. Forster says he remembers a reunion show at the Boulder Theater that Sawtelle got to play — one of his last shows. “He just played his ass off,” he recalls. Boulder Weekly

Sawtelle passed away at the age of 52 during an unsuccessful bone marrow transplant. Forster says the loss of Sawtelle inspired the band to continue playing together. “Once Charles died we were asked to put some tribute shows together honoring Charles’ memory, and that was the reason for another batch of reunion shows,” he says. “Since that time, we have now for 10 years, been asked to perform more, and we were interested in performing more, so we did.” As Hot Rize gets ready to return to Boulder, Forster waxes nostalgic about his old stomping grounds. “What’s so exciting for us is that it’s very rare for us to play in Boulder, and Boulder is really where the band took shape and we have such a deep history here,” he says. “This is the only time we’re playing in Boulder this year and we’re back at the Boulder Theater, which feels like home for us.” Forster adds that a new album could be in the works soon. “To tell you the truth, we’re spending a couple of days later this week looking at some new material and exploring our options with the goal of recording a new record in mind,” he says. “It’s sort of the natural expansion of us having a good time playing music together.” With so much history to Hot Rize, Forster says the most important thing to him and the members of the band are enjoying the company of friends and fans. “The opportunity to play music with other people is really just about having a conversation,” he says. “I’m lucky enough to play lots of instruments, but I do them all in service to the song and the circumstance. Everybody who plays music is after the same thing: That moment of magic where you’re all playing together and you’re able to elevate the song to this higher level, and that’s why we do it.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com September 13, 2012 35

t first glance, it doesn’t seem like Colorado has anything in common with the Deep South. Yet despite geographical differences, the love of music crosses all boundaries. Mixing traditional with contemporary, the North Mississippi Allstars not only have a rich musical pedigree to draw upon, but also the wherewithal to know that hard work is necessary for survival. Drawing on acoustic blues from the 1920s and electric Chicago blues from the 1950s, singer/guitarist Luther Dickinson was in the right place at the right time to hone a fresh take on these wailing sounds and grooving beats. In the early 1990s, a new breed of electric country blues emerged from the haven of northern Mississippi. The sounds of artists such as R.L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough hooked Luther, his brother Cody and bassist Chris Chew on a sound that has been their staple since their 2000 album debut Shake Hands With Shorty. “I’m so happy and proud to be an ambassador,” Luther says. “Not only is it the Mississippi culture that I grew up in, it’s my dad’s culture, vintage rock ’n’ roll that he grew up in.” Despite growing up in the music world (father Jim Dickinson was a longtime

Bridging the divide

Colorado and Mississippi have more in common than you think by Michael Callahan Memphis musician and producer before passing away in 2009), Luther doesn’t take his life for granted. Working side by side with his brother Cody, making music for a living has become a blessing. “It’s an honor and a privilege to be a working musician. You have to respect that,” Luther says. It might not be 9 to 5, but life on the road can be a grind. A grind the North Mississippi Allstars welcome. see NORTH MISSISSIPPI Page 38

“This symphony takes you through a whole gamut of emotions, and really takes you on a bit of a journey and ride as a listener.

You are all here in New York City, that’s where you are right now, to go on a TV talk show to tell the nation that aliens destroyed your trailer and you think the people need to know about it. Now exhale. Did it work? Probably not, but that’s a scenario Flip Orley pulls during his comedy shows, and when he does it, he is somehow able to turn comON THE BILL: Flip Orley plete strangers at a comedy plays Comedy Works South club into a ragtag bag of Sept. 13-16. Tickets start at $15. 5345 Landmark Place, trailer trash from Alabama, Greenwood Village, 720accent and everything. 274-6800. Orley is a hypnotist. He’s also a comedian, a hypnocomic, if you will. His shows start with a stand-up routine, and then he asks members of the audience to join him on stage. Then, he hypnotizes them and then guides them into certain scenarios, like the one above. It’s like improv comedy. “In fact to me it’s the purest form of improv, Flip Orley’s hypnosis shows involve getting audience members involved in improv comedy-esque scenarios. because what you have is a group of people on stage most of the time with, in most cases, no formal acting training,” Orley says. “But the difference between suffering through a period of demystification, there’s improv, and the reason I say it’s the purest form of still an element of wonder attached to stage hypnosis, improv, is because in that moment, they’re not acting. as it’s something that can’t be explained in a two-minThey’re not thinking. ‘What am I going to say next?’ ute YouTube video. In that moment, there’s this feeling that, ‘My home Some hypnotists claim to be able to be able to was destroyed by a UFO, and I’m angry, and I feel like hypnotize anyone on stage and make them do funny the country needs to know about it.’ It’s all spontanethings. Some, like Derren Brown, make TV shows in ous and it’s all really natural.” which they convince people on the street to give the Orley is part of a centuries-old tradition of hypno- hypnotist their wallet and keys. Orley is less aggrestists as performers dating back to the mesmerists of sive in his approach. He says he doesn’t try to embarthe 1800s. While their cousins, magicians, might be rass anyone, and he doesn’t claim to be able to control

anyone’s mind on a whim. Instead he tells the audience the show is about tapping into their latent creativity, and if anyone wants to give it a shot, come up on stage. It’s important that he work the audience this way; otherwise a skeptic might volunteer and put a damper on the show. “It’s important to me that any club I work … they make it pretty clear to the audience that the show is all about hypnosis. And then there’s sort of an early part of the show where I’m doing some comedy and explaining the show and setting it up and so by the time I ask for volunteers, typically, the people who are more predisposed to keeping an open mind come to the stage. By that point I think the audience is pretty sold on the idea of giving it a try as well, in terms of being a little bit quiet during the induction and giving me a little bit of the time that I need to make the whole thing work.” Nowadays, everything’s consensual, but Orley got into hypnosis in a much creepier way. As a child, he says, girls would rebuke his attempts to ask them to the school dance, and his frustration led him to a book called How To Pick Up Girls With Hypnosis. “It was a horrible book,” he recalls. “It was just a horrific experience, I was trying to hypnotize a girl just to get her to go to a dance with me in elementary school, and I was like, ‘Look into my eyes,’ and she was like, ‘You are freaking me out’ and she kicked me in the groin. “[After] I had this run-in with this gal’s knee, I think most people, at this point, would have said enough with that. And yet I became really intrigued. I thought to myself, ‘This book is garbage, but this stuff has been around forever.’” He swore never to use his powers for evil again. But you’ll only know for sure if you check out the show. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

he degree to which you will enjoy Celeste and Jesse Forever solely depends on how ensorcelled you are by the luminous Rashida Jones. If you love her, this movie is a moderately effective slice-of-life romcom-dram. If you think she’s just OK (or worse), you’re left to find enjoyment with Andy Samberg giving a fake handjob to a tube of lip Vaseline. Jones, who co-wrote with Will McCormack, makes some classic firsttime screenwriter blunders, including giving almost every character a stupid name — when was the last time you were in a room with both a Tucker and a Celeste? — and giving everyone fancy weird careers — have you ever met a “trend forecaster”? Considering the strength of the movie is displaying the authentic, messy nature of real-life romance, these weird quirks (we haven’t even gotten to the tarty pop star yet) work in direct opposition to the film’s goal. What’s left is a breakout display of what Jones is capable of buried under a pile of hipster nonsense. Celeste ( Jones) and Jesse (Samberg) were high-school sweethearts who got married too young and filed for divorced too fast. They remain best friends, despite the whole failed marriage thing. They see each other every day, still live together and still end conversations with “I love you.” This understandably freaks out their best friends Beth (Ari Graynor) and Tucker (Eric Christian Olsen), who feel their friends are emotionally stunting themselves. After a few months of separation, Jesse boffs Veronica (Rebecca Dayan); it’s not quite a rebound, as he really likes her, but their relationship gets off to a rocky start what with him being

still legally married to and obviously still in love with Celeste. When she is told by Jesse that his thing with Veronica is like “for real” for real, Celeste launches on an introspective journey aided by her gay business partner (Elijah Wood) and a Britney Spears clone (Emma Roberts) who winds up a gay icon because of a logo that looks like anal sex. Oh, you wacky indie, you! There are problems beyond the shoehorned quirk: Samberg is painfully uncomfortable being “real,” the relationship between Veronica and Jesse is woefully underexplored and director Lee Toland Kreiger seems to want his film to look like someone scrolling through Facebook photos of fake eyeglass-wearing, navel-gazing, trendy douche bags. Then there’s the inherent problem with the “lesson” that Jones seems to come to, which is that she should have settled for the lazy, penniless, emotionally juvenile Jesse because she “loved him.” Why? Jones almost pulls it all together with her performance, which vacillates between awkward comedy and beautiful introspection. She’s as comfortable climbing into a trash can as she is grappling with her inherent need to be right all the time. It’s a great performance in an average-at-best movie, which is sad, considering Jones deserves to be more beloved than she currently is. Celeste and Jesse Forever wanted to be a dourer When Harry Met Sally but plays more like The Breakup re-enacted by customers at a Whole Foods. Still, it’s just barely worth seeing if you jones for Jones, which more people should do these days. — This review first appeared in The Reader of Omaha, Neb.

or some cultures in the world, staring into the faces of their dinner as it sits in front of them is a common feat, but it certainly is quite unusual in modern America — until now that is. The nose to tail cooking movement has been gaining momentum all over the United States. From New York City to Chicago and now even here in Boulder, chefs are attempting to embrace this new culinary challenge of serving the whole animal to their guests, leaving no parts out. Eating offal, or the internal organs and entrails of a butchered animal, can be seen as a delicacy, especially in different parts of Asia and Europe. Chicken feet, cow’s tongue and pork bellies are regarded as some of the most exquisite and delicious parts of the animal. Here in Boulder, SALT the Bistro on Pearl Street has decided to jump on the bandwagon and is now serving up an interesting array of dishes consisting of different parts of an animal. Alex Krill has undertaken the brave and innovative task of serving Boulder’s

insatiable palates with this unusual dining experience. Krill has been the executive chef at SALT the Bistro for the past three years. In the past, Krill has had the chance to work with whole animals like pigs, salmon and even lamb. He says his interest in cooking like this came from his time studying abroad in France,

where he had the chance to see how butchers and cooks utilized every part of the animal. “One of the things I remember we used was a fish dish and it was a soup and we basically just took whole, tiny fish, like little rock fish and just threw them in a pot and boiled them with veggies and just blended it up,” says Krill. “So nothing was wasted; you would just skim it and take all the bones out.” The idea of eating an entire animal may be a little daunting for some people but Krill says some of the best parts of the animal are the ones that are rarely used. “For me, nose to tail eating is all about utilizing parts of the animal that are always overlooked, or mostly overlooked,” says Krill. “A pig is the best example to use because you can pretty much eat every single part of the pig, literally from the nose to the tail.” Krill vouches for braised pig’s heads and tails, saying that if rightly prepared and cooked, they can be one of the most delicious dishes.

Unless you have been living under a rock, you must be aware of the hard work Colorado firefighters have put in all summer. Here’s your chance to thank them. To culminate the end of Firefighter Appreciation Week, the Twenty-Ninth Street Mall in Boulder will be hosting the Fight Fire with Beer Festival Sept. 15. The festival will feature some local brews, food and live music. Not only will you have the chance to personally thank some of Colorado’s firefighters, but all proceeds from the event benefit the Colorado Fire Relief Fund. Not a bad deal. Some other activities include a 2-mile road race, a brew competition for the 10 local breweries that will be attending and the chance to interact with some firefighting equipment.

Clay’s Obscurity Corner Backstory on the biscuit

iscuits and gravy are commonly associated with the American South and the dish dates back to the time of the American Revolution. As is often the case in times of war, foodstuffs were scarce, and dishes like biscuits and gravy could be easily prepared with such staples as milk, flour, and pepper. In some circles, the white gravy is called “sawmill gravy,” a likely testament to the logging camps that used this sauce as a means to stretch hard-to-come-by meats. Sausage is the most often encountered protein in this dish, which also became a common meal for slaves.

Creamy and smooth, this adornment was the ideal counterpoint to the slightly crispy edged biscuits.

The lightly textured crust stood out for Mara, and the filling had a fresh, yet rich flavor pro-

Sometimes the ideal weekend meal is something that harkens back to an earlier time, and where simple preparations trump the latest foodie trends. A humble cup of diner coffee, white cream gravy and tasty burgers can be part of such a repast, and in this regard, Crane Hollow delivers. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

NOSE TO TAIL from Page 52

Krill says that he and his team oversee it completely, from the butchering to the plating. “We get a whole pig in, we break it down into all the parts that people are used to like the ham, the pork shoulder, and chops, and then using those other parts like the head, and the tail, and the feet and all of the bones, and even the intestines to do sausage with or the liver to do pâté with,” he says. “Our first one was actually with a pig and we did a charcuterie plate using all of the off cuts, so we did deviled kidneys and pork rillettes using all of the leftover kind of stuff and we did grilled heart,” says Krill. “Surprisingly everyone really liked the kidney; it doesn’t really taste that great on its own but with what you put it with, you can make it taste really good.” Also in Boulder, Blackbelly Catering’s owner and chef Hosea Rosenberg has incorporated nose to tail cooking into some of the farm dinners he’s hosted. He says that nose to tail cooking meant finding a new way to cook. “The more you work with the animal, the more you know that this is the way it’s supposed to be,” Rosenberg says. “It’s kind of a lost art, but it’s getting trendier.” Rosenberg says people are often surprised to find out they’ve been eating unusual parts of pigs, like crispy pork ears and fried pork feet served as hors d’oeuvres. “I had this group of girls that told me they would never try it but I served them some without telling them what it was,” Rosenberg says. “The next thing I know, they were eating handfuls of it.” Utilizing the entire animal is a way of showing respect to it, he says, in addition to producing a higher yield of food from the animal. Diners can expect not only a unique

experience, but also one that is delicious and educational, he says. “I like to talk about how the food is prepared and the animal I’ve raised,” he says. “It is going be educational.” Steve Redzikowski, head chef for Oak at Fourteenth, does what he calls quarterly roasts, where he roasts a whole animal once a season and pairs the meal with a type of spirit. “The one in the winter that’s coming up is cider, so just think about that crisp apple cider going along with the pig,” Redzikowski says. “That will just be awesome.” In the past, Oak has paired its roasts with champagne and bourbon. The restaurant typically serves 60 to 80 people per event and guests have been returning every time Oak puts on another roast, Redzikowski says. “Every time they come, we’ll do a different preparation of the pig, try to present it differently,” he says. “At the same time, too, we want them to come back and try something new, so we change the beverages.” The dining experience also offers something more than just sitting at a table and eating good food. “It’s really casual,” he says. “We do some of the courses family style, and what we’ll do is that in a room we’ll put the tables together so that it’s communal seating, and then you really get to interact about the food, you get to meet new people as well; everyone’s there for the same thing, and it turns into a really nice buzz.” If you’re still doubtful about eating kidneys or unconvinced that grilled heart could possibly be one of the better dining experiences of your life, Redzikowski says to take a chance. “It’s a weird saying but, you only live once, why not try something?” he says. “I mean, this is the foodiest town in America, so why not give it a shot?” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

Synopses of recent restaurant reviews. To read reviews in their entirety, visit www.boulderweekly.com.

he Trattoria on Pearl continues to please lunch patrons with its high-value, $10 power lunch. Consisting of a choice of beverage (including house wine), organic green salad or minestrone, and an entree of pasta or hot sandwich, this meal can be enjoyed in less than an hour if you’re pressed for time. Top selections include the tasty eggplant parmigiana or the unapologetically decadent spaghetti carbonara with egg and pancetta.

he fundamental strength of this selfproclaimed “urban taqueria” is its strong respect for the original source cuisine, which is basic street-influenced Mexican. The guacamole here is impeccably fresh and epitomizes balanced flavor. Amongst the tacos, clear winners are the decadent braised pork belly and the snapper, which evokes all the best qualities of this Baja California staple.

The expansive morning menu includes Belgian waffles, hot sandwiches such as French dips and Reubens, entree salads and a plethora of omelets and egg dishes. The Bordeaux Scramble winningly combines eggs, arugula and a herbed biscuit, and the beignets are memorable, more closely resembling cream puffs than its New Orleans ancestor.

Dot’s Diner on the Hill 1333 Broadway, Boulder 303-447-9184

H Burger Co.

1710 Pearl St., Boulder 720-465-9683

ow open on Pearl Street, H Burger is the local offshoot of the successful Denver-based burger, cocktails and shake eatery. Burgers include those made from beef, bison, turkey and veggies. Those seeking something different might enjoy the Colorado lamb burger topped with feta and aioli, while the more traditionally minded might relish the Boulder burger, freighted with a full seven ounces of grassfed beef. Don’t miss the liquid nitrogen frozen milkshakes, especially the refreshing strawberry mint selection.

Native Foods Cafe

ot’s Diner on the Hill’s offerings include a full complement of egg dishes, ranging from single egg, bacon and toast kids specials for $4 to $8 jumbo-sized helpings of huevos rancheros. The usual suspects of grilled cheese and BLTs with avocado share space on the lunch bill of fare alongside meatless specialties like Gardenburgers and a tempeh Reuben. The abovementioned huevos are adorned with particularly flavorful red and green chiles, and the Monte Cristo sandwich serves up sweet and savory satisfaction.

riginating in Palm Springs, Native Foods Cafe is a fastcasual chain restaurant featuring vegan fare, where various forms of meatless protein stand in for such items as chicken wings and gyros meat. This hospitable spot in Boulder’s Twenty Ninth Street features everything from meatless nacho starters to dairy-free cupcakes. The seitanbased meatball sub is a winner, as is the Soul Bowl, a surprisingly compelling take on Southern fried chicken sans poultry.

Cured

The Mountain Sun Pub and Brewery

1825 Pearl St., Boulder 720-389-8096

earl Street’s Cured, a small and welcoming shop, is the perfect spot to indulge cravings for fine wine, cheese and charcuterie. This open brick-and-wood space also includes the sublime Boxcar Coffee’s retail outlet. Cured is a go-to destination for top-notch gourmet sandwiches artfully combining the best crusty baguettes in town with artisan charcuterie, like prosciutto and salami, and small-batch cheeses. For a special occasion or picnic, signature platters of charcuterie and cheese are just the ticket. 56 September 13, 2012

1675 29th St., Suite 1272, Boulder 303-442-0213

1535 Pearl St., Boulder 303-546-0886

Boulder favorite since the early ’90s, the Mountain Sun continues to dish out its winning combination of microbrews, salads and sandwiches. Burgers range from your standard-issue cheeseburgers to more distinctive selections like the brightly herbal basil blue cheeseburger. Other offerings, such as the tender Monterey chicken sandwich and hearty hummus starter, also hit the culinary mark.

oulder’s recently opened Curry N Kebob features value-priced Indian that’s served up quickly. At lunch, there’s a $7.95 special that includes a choice of one of about a half-dozen entrees — at least one is vegetarian — as well as rice, naan bread and dessert. Popular selections include the rich and herb-infused makhini, or butter chicken, and various kebobs, which include classic tandoori chicken and fish and shrimp variants.

Pastavino

1043 Pearl St., Boulder 303-955-8791

oused in the former site of Juanita’s on West Pearl, the new Pastavino is a winning exercise in fairly priced Italian classicism. Featuring entrees like veal legs, New York steak and baked fish cioppino, this eatery also unsurprisingly features a plethora of noodle dishes. Daily pasta specials include the veal canneloni, a rich concoction of meat and cream sauce, and one can’t-miss item is the spaghetti vongole, featuring Manila clams in a perfectly balanced white wine sauce. The rare beef Carpaccio and Fritto Misto mix of fried calamari and bay scallops are noteworthy starters.

Thai Avenue Rice & Noodles 1310 College Ave., #220, Boulder 303-443-1737

espite Thai Avenue Rice & Noodle’s humble appearance, quick service setup and rock-bottom prices, it unquestionably stands as one of Boulder’s top choices for Thai. Located in a basement food court on University Hill, this order-at-the-counter spot dishes out heaping portions of top-notch Pad Thai, with subtle hints of tamarind and egg. The red curry stands out for its winning complexity of flavor, punctuated by the perfume of fresh basil.

The West End Tavern 926 Pearl St., Boulder 303-444-3535

t’s easy to associate the West End Tavern with bar staples like chicken wings and beer, which are in fact available. But this association doesn’t acknowledge this eatery’s considerable acumen in replicating American cookout standards. Back-to-basics choices like the Tavern burger, with its unpretentious pairing of Colorado’s Best Beef meat and aged cheddar, illustrate how the simple can create great satisfaction. Barbecued items from the smoker, such as pulled pork, beef brisket and ribs, are also worthwhile selections evoking summer tastes. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com Boulder Weekly

You will never be able to actually gaze upon your own face. You may of course see a reasonable likeness of it in mirrors, photos, and videos. But the real thing will always be forever visible to everyone else, but not you. I think that’s an apt symbol for how hard it is to get a totally objective view of your own soul. No matter how sincere you may be in your efforts to see yourself clearly, there will always be fuzziness, misapprehensions and ignorance. Having said that, though, I want you to know that the coming weeks will be an excellent time to see yourself better than ever before.

I’ve got four related pieces of advice for you, Taurus: 1. The most reliable way for you to beat the system is to build your own more interesting system. 2. The most likely way to beat your competitors is not to fight them, but rather to ignore them and compete only against yourself. 3. To escape the numbing effects of an outworn tradition, you could create a fresh tradition that makes you excited to get out of bed in the morning. 4. If you have a problem that is not only impossible to solve but also boring, find yourself a fascinating new problem that will render the old problem irrelevant.

What should I do? — Itchy-Hearted Gemini.” Dear Gemini: I suspect that it’s not just you, but many Geminis, who are experiencing symptoms like yours.

Should we stop praising the work that Martin Luther King Jr. did to advance civil rights because he engaged in extramarital affairs? Those are the kinds of questions I suspect you’ll have to deal with in the coming days, Leo. I encourage you to avoid having knee-jerk reactions.

VIRGO

AUG. 23-SEPT. 22:

Arthur Turner, a Virgo reader from Austin, is upset with my recent horoscopes. In his email, he wrote the following: “You’re making me mad with your predictions of non-stop positivity, Brezsny. I need more dirt and grit and muck. I’ve got to have some misery and decay to motivate me. So just please shut up with your excess projections of good times. They’re bringing me down.” Here’s my response to him and to any other Virgo who feels like him: I’m afraid you’re scheduled to endure even more encounters with cosmic benevolence in the coming week. If these blessings feel oppressive, try to change your attitude about them.

LIBRA

SEPT. 23-OCT. 22:

The humorous science journal Annals of Improbable Research published a paper entitled “The Effects of Peanut Butter on the Rotation of the Earth.” Signed by 198 Ph.D. physicists,

it came to this conclusion: “So far as we can determine, peanut butter has no effect on the rotation of the earth.” If possible, Libra, I suggest you summon a comparable amount of high-powered expertise for your own purposes. But please make sure that those purposes are weightier than the question of peanut butter’s role on our planet’s movements. Round up the best help you can, yes; call on all the favors you’re owed and be aggressive in seeking out brilliant support; but only for a truly important cause.

SCORPIO

OCT. 23-NOV. 21:

Sept. 16 is the first day of Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year. So begins 10 days of repentance. Whether or not you’re Jewish, Scorpio, you are entering an astrological phase when taking stock of yourself would be a brilliant move. That’s why I invite you to try the following self-inventory, borrowed from the Jewish organization Chadeish Yameinu. 1. What would you like to leave behind from the past 12 months? 2. What has prevented you from living up to your highest standards and being your very best self? 3. What would you love to bring with you into the next 12 months? 4. Who served as a teacher for you in the past year? 5. Were you a teacher for anyone? 6. Is there anyone you need to forgive? 7. How will you go about forgiving?

SAGITTARIUS NOV. 22-DEC. 21:

If I’m accurately interpreting the astrological omens, the coming months will be a soulful feast in which every day will bring you a shimmering revelation about the nature of your soul’s code and how best to activate it. Reasons for grateful amazement will flow so freely that you may come to feel that miracles are routine and naturally-occurring phenomena. And get this: In your dreams, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty will get married, win the lottery, and devote their fortune to fostering your spiritual education until you are irrevocably enlightened. (I confess there’s a slight chance I’m misinterpreting the signs, and everything I described will be true for only a week or so, not months.)

CAPRICORN

DEC. 22-JAN. 19:

A reader named Marissa begged me to insert a secret message into the Capricorn horoscope. She wanted me to influence Jergen, a guy she has a crush on, to open up his eyes and see how great she is. I told her I wouldn’t do it. Why? For one thing, I never try to manipulate people into doing things that aren’t in alignment with their own desires. For another, I faithfully report on my understanding of the tides of fate, and refuse to just make stuff up. I urge you to have that kind of integrity, Capricorn. I suspect you may soon be invited or coaxed to engage in what amounts to some tainted behavior. Don’t do it. Make an extra effort to be incorruptible.

AQUARIUS

JAN. 20-FEB. 18:

“The far away, the very far, the farthest, I have found only in my own blood,” said poet Antonio Porchia. Let’s make that thought your keynote, Aquarius. Your assignment will be to search for what’s most exotic and unknown, but only in the privacy of your own heart, not out in the great wide world. For now at least, the inner realm is the location of the laboratory where the most useful experiments will unfold. Borrowing from novelist Carole Maso, I leave you with this: “Make love to the remoteness in yourself.”

PISCES

FEB. 19-MARCH 20:

It would be an excellent time for you to elope, even if you do so with the person to whom you’re already mated. You might also consider the possibility of wearing a wedding dress everywhere you wander, even if there is no marriage ceremony in your immediate future, and even if you’re a man. And if neither of those ideas appeals to you, please at least do something that will symbolize your intention to focus on intimacy with an intensified sense of purpose. Fling rice at yourself. Seek out someone who’ll give you lessons in how to listen like an empathetic genius. Compose and recite vows in which you pledge to become an utterly irresistible and reliable ally.
