Enforce dog rules (Re: “It’s about doggone time!” Uncensored, Sept. 15.) Pamela White’s piece on the dog issue reassured me. I thought I was the only one who perceived uncontrolled dogs on trails and in the city parks as a problem. I learned of the farcical “green tag” program after twice being accosted by unleashed, uncontrolled dogs on the lower Sanitas trail. To get your dog one of these “green tags” all you have to do is watch a video and sign a paper saying your dog responds to voice commands. It seems that there is some serious delusionary behavior operating with the city and the dog owners on this one. Voice control means just that. I suggest a simple test of letting a fawn run in front of the dog, and if the dog will sit and stay on command, then it gets a tag. A shift in attitude from permissiveness to responsibility about dog ownership could be created by a few months of serious enforcement of existing leash laws everywhere. Places like North Boulder Park, where the larger spaces seem to encourage leashlessness, or the more subtle “dropped leash” behavior, would be good areas to start. Also, dogs, leashed or not, rationally should not be allowed in crowded areas and events such as the Farmers’ Market, especially since we also have a burgeoning population of stroller babies and toddlers whom a single bite from a confused or startled dog could disfigure for life.

I have had dogs, loved one in particular, and maybe that contributes to my firm belief that dogs are not people. Creating a climate where they can go anywhere, and do anything they want, does not appreciate dogs, their needs and their place in a very populated environment. Thank you. Heidi Freestone/Boulder

The Highroad
ow, let’s turn the Hubble telescope to the far-away galaxy where Rick, Mitt, Michele and Goofy are contending for the Republican presidential nomination. In the GOP’s recent debate at the Reagan Library, its seekers of the presidency collectively caused people to gasp and say to themselves: “Gosh, I miss Ronald Reagan’s intellect.” Especially stupid was the outbreak during the debate of a schoolboy spat between Rick Perry and Mitt Romney over the serious issue of job creation. Let’s replay the moment. Romney had boasted of his performance as a job creator during his governorship in Massachusetts, leading to this retort by Perry: “Michael Dukakis created jobs three times faster than you did, Mitt.” To which Romney shot back: “Well, as a matter of fact, George Bush
Boulder Weekly
Thanks for Hanson story
boulderweekly.com/highroad
The GOP’s jobs debate by Jim Hightower and his predecessor created jobs at a faster rate than you did, governor.” Mustering all of his wits, Perry parried with this fib: “That’s not correct.” And Romney struck the last blow by declaring definitively: “Yes, that is correct.” Aside from their juvenile inanity, it’s revealing to hear the two Republicans brag about having created jobs. “Look at what we’ve done over the last decade,” Perry exclaimed at another point in the debate, “we created one million jobs in the state of Texas.” We? That’s Republican heresy!
now, at 30 years old, I still deal with the silly mocking of “Wait, Hanson’s still around? Do they only play ‘MMMBop’ and then leave the stage?” This article was refreshing, heartfelt and much-appreciated! Thank you for taking the time to get to know the band see LETTERS Page 6

Indeed, out on the campaign trail, both Rick and Mitt are piously faithful to the GOP’s religious dogma, which sternly dictates that government can’t create jobs — only the magical free market performs that miracle. Believe it or not, though, these two are presently their party’s front-runners, which is why many Republicans are asking, “Is that all there is?” Well, maybe not. His Rudyness, Rudy Guiliani, now says he might jump into the race “if I think we’re truly desperate.”’ Wow, that really would be desperate. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com September 22, 2011 5

Bachmann’s dirty ties The sordid, often bizarre atmosphere that permeates America’s political process never ceases to astound and fascinate. Throw mainstream media collusion into the devil’s own hopper of political debauchery, and it’s a wonder that our electorate ever learns anything about our candidates. Take the case of the massive amount of mainstream media coverage given to Michele Bachmann, particularly during the past three months. One would think that her questionable financial ties to two of her big-time campaign contributors would have surfaced by now. Unfortunately for us voters, not so. Google the names Franklin (Frank) Vennes Jr. and Tom Petters to learn more about Ms. Bachmann’s campaign benefactors. Especially read articles written by Karl Bremer, an award-winning investigative journalist who has followed Bachmann’s career for years. One will find that Vennes served three years in a federal penitentiary a couple of decades ago for money laundering, cocaine trafficking and illegal gun sales. Having found religion in the slammer, its virtues didn’t seem rub off on Vennes, since he was indicted this year for his role in promoting the gargantuan Ponzi scheme run by Tom Petters. Vennes is to stand trial later this year. Petters currently is serving 50 years in Leavenworth for his Ponzi depredations. Add to this the fact that Bachmann, Republican presidential hopeful Tim Pawlenty and former Minnesota Sen. 6 September 22, 2011
Norm Coleman all wrote then-President Bush recommending a pardon for Vennes’ prior conviction. Many of the victims of the Ponzi scam were evangelical Christians, who, curiously enough, form a major contingent of Bachmann supporters. Whether Bachmann becomes the Republican candidate is of no consequence to me, but it beggars belief why our corporate media has almost entirely ignored her disreputable associations. Even more incomprehensible is why the Republican National Committee seemingly is unconcerned about Bachmann’s hobnobbing with convicted felons. The Vennes/Petters fiasco has been covered to death in Minnesota. Surely the honchos at the RNC know about it. Why haven’t they pulled the rug from under Bachmann and Pawlenty? Or are all Republicans as crooked as Bachmann’s funders? Secretly, I’m hoping that a ticket of the Texas Trash Talker and Minnesota Michele will be awarded the 2012 Republican nominations. In the past I have refused to watch/listen to political speechifying, but even the whiffle-ball debate questions served up by our media idiots would elicit from this dynamic duo some highly entertaining English, hitherto unknown historical facts and statistics that will confound the intellect.

O
dds are that this week or next the Palestinians will unilaterally declare their independence. What happens next? It’s easier to say what won’t happen. Peace isn’t going to break out. Conflict and violence will. Chances are events will play out something like this: The Palestinians will ask the United Nations to pass a resolution recognizing an independent state within the 1967 borders and with Jerusalem as its capital. It will be vetoed in the Security Council — where it counts — and passed in the General Assembly, where the action will not carry the force of international law. That much is an all but foregone conclusion. The Palestinian Authority will then issue a unilateral declaration of independence. More than 100 governments will quickly recognize the new Palestinian entity. Israel will counter the Palestinian
entity’s unilateral declaration of independence by unilaterally drawing the border between the Palestinian entity and itself. It may draw a border along the lines of the one it has proposed to the Palestinian Authority in the past, or it may come up with something different, but draw a border it will. The only certainty is that Jerusalem will be on Israel’s side of it. Israel then will declare its willingness to negotiate changes to the border as part of a final peace treaty — just as soon as the Palestinian entity recognizes Israel as a Jewish state. This would effectively serve to transform the Israeli-Palestinian conflict into a border dispute involving maybe 750 square miles of land (the most land that would likely be in dispute in a final settlement if the sides actually wanted one). To be sure, 750 square miles is a big piece of the West Bank (about 30 percent). But if the quarrel is reduced to a border dispute see PALESTINE Page 8

now enjoy are directly attributable to unions. To cite but a few: the 40-hour work week, paid holidays and vacations, sick leave, grievance procedures, collective bargaining and generally superior wages. Unfortunately, succeeding generations have come to take those benefits for granted. Those benefits came about because of unions and soon became the norm for union workers and many nonunion workers as well. All American workers owe a debt of gratitude to organized labor for its achievements. Paul G. Jaehnert/Vadnais Hts., Minn.
Hooray for Heath (Re: “Sinking ship,” cover story, Sept. 15.) I want to add my voice to the growing chorus of support for Rollie Heath’s proposed tax increase for public education. Three cheers for more money for a system that protects incompetent, unmotivated and low-performing teachers! Woohoo! Let’s hear it for rewarding high-performing teachers the same as low performers! Yippee! Let’s have a big round of applause for little or no competition among schools, which results in not much motivation to improve (it’s not like the tax dollars will stop rolling into their coffers or anyone will get fired if they don’t improve)! Hooray for national per pupil spending that has more than doubled over the past 40 years while results have stayed flat! Oh, give us more of that! More money for bloated public school administrations. Yahoo! How about a standing ovation for offloading the cost of educating children from parents to the taxpayers? Parents shouldn’t have a financial stake in the outcome of their children’s education. Heavens, no! Parents shouldn’t have to say to their child, “You can’t drop out of high school because we have $40,000 invested in your education.” Hurrah for higher taxes burdening our economy!

Obama caves in again President Obama let business off the hook and called off the EPA, which has been advocating stiffer air pollution rules. Supposedly this reprieve might “save” corporations $90 billion. And
this could be the straw needed to break the hiring camel’s back. Really? If $1.2 trillion in untaxed cash and $400 billion a year in executive tax breaks haven’t led to pervasive hiring, what makes the White House imagine that another $90 billion will do the trick? Illnesses resulting from “smog” are still with us, and Medicare and Medicaid may not be for long. How do we square these real needs with the additional benefit offered intransigent, well-heeled businesses who cannot see beyond the three R’s — Rape, Ruin and Run? If I promise to burn down America’s

Uh, what? Netflix announced this week that it is changing the name of its mailorder DVD service to “Qwikster,” but it failed to acquire the Twitter handle @Qwikster. Turns out, that account isn’t available. It’s held by some stoner named Jason who found himself with more than 3,000 new followers after Netflix’s announcement on Sept. 19. Boulder Weekly
Judging from his past tweets, his new fan base of movie-watchers can expect these kinds of deep thoughts: “Bored as shyt wanna blaze but at the same time I don’t ugh fuck it where’s the bowl at spark me up lls.” His reaction to all of his new friends? “Dayum over 3120 follower just cuz some ppl wanna buy my handle 3 ppl have asked but idk who to trust.” Ah, poor Netflix. It’s going to cost them more than some clean bong water to pry that account out of the hands of this cunning and calculating individual.
7. Sinking ship
When Sen. Rollie Heath, D-Boulder, speaks of Colorado’s budgetary woes, he speaks of Band-Aids that can’t stop the bleeding, wounds that are hard to heal and rearranging chairs on the deck of the Titanic. He’s particularly worried about public education.

Ask, tell Here’s betting that a lot of people came out of the closet this week. On Tuesday, Sept. 20, America changed. Finally — finally! — gays and lesbians were freed from the ridiculous limitations of “Don’t ask, don’t tell,” a Clinton-era policy that enabled them to serve in the U.S. military — so long as no one knew they weren’t heterosexual. No doubt Pat Robertson and the “God hates fags” idiots will blame the next earthquake/terrorist attack/flood on this policy change, but the truth is it’s one change that will only bother bigots. And we’re okay with bothering bigots. Military leaders and Pentagon experts say the military is up to the task of integrating gay and lesbian members. That’s reassuring. Because if the military can’t handle integrating gays and lesbians, how can it possibly be trusted to catch terrorists or fight wars? War has to be more difficult than making room in the barracks for men who love men and woman who love women. The rest of us will go about our business as we did before, beneath a sky that simply isn’t falling. In fact, the sky might be a little brighter because justice has prevailed. Winston Churchill once said that Americans always do the right thing — after exhausting all other possibilities. That certainly seems to be the case with DADT. Now, about gay marriage … Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

Phlegming gags on tax hike What an ass. Republican U.S. Rep. John Fleming, who has slammed President Obama’s deficit-reduction plan because it contains tax increases for the wealthy, told MSNBC reporter Chris Jansing this week that raising taxes on the rich would prompt layoffs. He went on to say that while his companies made $6.3 million last year, that was before he paid all of his employees and expenses. He had the gall to say that “by the time I feed my family, I have maybe $400,000 left over … .” Cry us a river. Here’s the world’s smallest violin playing just for you, buddy. Meanwhile, the average household income in the U.S. is less than $50,000 a year. When informed by Jansing that he wasn’t exactly taking a sympathetic position, all this jerk could manage was, “Class warfare has never created a job.” Wow, that’s profound. One might respond that deficits of this size have never been cut without some tax increases, pal. And it was your former Republican president who racked most of it up. In his final term, the national debt rose more than 20 percent under Shrub, the biggest increase since Roosevelt. Under Obama, it’s gone up 9 percent. When Jansing asked whether he would have to lay off any of his own workers if the tax increase were approved, he sidestepped the question. Sorry, John, but you might not get to keep all of your measly $400,000. You might have to start living on ramen noodles, like the rest of us have been doing.

Voting made easier Local groups join forces in Community Questionnaire by Boulder Weekly staff
I
t’s another coordinated election, and that means city council races. For candidates, there are endless events and forums, as well as a stream of questionnaires from media, civic groups, voter organizations and special-interest groups. For voters, it means slogging through dozens of questionnaires searching for answers to questions that reflect their concerns. But this year, Boulder voters and candidates for Boulder City Council will find their work pared down to a more manageable level, thanks to the Community Questionnaire, which is now available for viewing online. The idea for a united questionnaire — one that brought many local organizations together — was the brainchild of Pat Shanks, who serves on the board for The Blue Line. His idea was to partner with organizations that typically send out their own questionnaires to create a single community questionnaire and then post the answers online in an easily accessible format. This makes it easier not only for voters to search for the candidates’ positions on specific issues, but also for the candidates themselves, who have fewer questionnaires to answer and, hopefully, more time to answer them. “We went through the questionnaires that one of the candidates had to answer a couple of years ago, and that person had 127 questions to answer,” says Liz Payton, editor of The Blue Line. “We’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback from the candidates about it. The ones who’ve been through this process before appreciate it.” Boulder Weekly was one of a handful of pioneer participants that worked with The Blue Line to establish a process for the project. “Boulder Weekly has been very happy to partner with The Blue Line and the other local organizations through this process,” says Pamela White, editor of the paper. “I’m sure 12 September 22, 2011
candidates get asked a thousand questions, and half of them are duplicates. This reduces that redundancy, while at the same time making it easier for voters to get the information they truly want about each candidate.” Other organizations that participated in the Community Questionnaire include Boulder County Arts Alliance, Boulder County Audubon Society, Boulder Decides, Boulder Outdoor Coalition, Clean Energy Action, Community Cycles, Community Foundation Serving Boulder County, Crestview West, Eco-Cycle, El Centro AMISTAD, Friends of Boulder Open Space, Human Services Alliance, Intercambio Uniting Communities, Mapleton Hill Neighborhood, McSorley/Cantebury Homeowners, New Era Colorado, Orchard Grove, Out Boulder, PLAN-Boulder County, Prairie Dog Coalition, Sierra Club and the University Hill Neighborhood Association. Participating organizations submitted questions. Those were edited to eliminate duplicates and then culled to 57 questions. “Most of the candidates were very thoughtful [in their answers],” Payton says. “We limited a lot of the answers so there wasn’t a lot of wiggle room, and some of them did not like that.” Topics addressed in the questionnaire include the arts, city of Boulder ballot issues, bikes, diversity, dogs, energy, the environment, recycling, localization, medical marijuana and transportation. The answers are searchable by topic and candidate, making the task of wading through 57 answers for 12 candidates as simple as possible. It also enables voters to focus on the issues that are most important for their lives. Key portions of the questionnaire will be published in Boulder Weekly’s VOTE guide, available on newsstands

briefs Hospital hosts drug drop-off Several local organizations are sponsoring a free pharmaceutical drive-up and drop-off event from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 24, at Boulder Community Foothills Hospital, at 4747 Arapahoe Ave. The sponsors of the event are the City of Boulder, Boulder County Public Health, Partners for a Clean Environment and Boulder Community Foothills Hospital. Expired, excess and unwanted medications may be dropped off for proper disposal at the hospital during the event, including prescription and overthe-counter medications, pills, liquid medications, trans-dermal patches and inhalers. Boulder’s municipal wastewater treatment plants are not equipped to completely remove all of the chemicals and compounds found in various medications. As a result, trace amounts of pharmaceuticals can be released into the waterways, where they may have an adverse impact on the environment. Recent studies have shown that these chemicals can affect aquatic life and even make their way into drinking water supplies. To learn more about the event, visit www.bouldercolorado.gov and click on “Pharmaceutical Disposal” under “City A-Z.” Fundraising for mental health On Saturday, Oct. 15, Mental Health Partners Foundation and Mental Health Partners will host the sixth annual “Dandelion Ball — Spreading the Seeds of Mental Health” from 5:30 to 11:30 p.m. in the Stadium Club at the University of Colorado’s Folsom Field. The fundraising gala will feature dinner, cocktails, silent and live auctions and Colorado’s Hazel Miller Band. Tickets for the ball are $125 per person, $80 for young professionals, $1,100 for a table of 10 and $1,350 for a sponsor table. Tickets will be on sale until Oct. 5. For more information, see www.mhcbc.org. Valmont Road being reconstructed Beginning Wednesday, Sept. 28, Valmont Road will be closed between 75th and 95th streets to all vehicles, including bicycles, on weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The daytime closures will be in effect until Nov. 8. Cyclists and motorists are encouraged to use detours, since there will be heavy delays. Accommodations have been made to allow passage of emergency vehicles, school buses, local traffic and delivery vehicles to homes within the work zone. The Valmont Shoulders and Roadway Reconstruction project includes the complete removal and replacement of the existing asphalt pavement and the addition of paved shoulders to each edge of the road. The City of Boulder’s trail connection to the Teller Lake trailhead will also be reconstructed, and the trail crossing of Valmont Road improved. Ride to rally for climate change On Saturday, Sept. 24, thousands of cyclists will ride 37 miles from Boulder to Denver to call for local and national solutions to climate change. Participants will launch from Boulder’s Municipal Building at 8 a.m. and will finish with a “Moving Planet Party” and “Green Fair” at the state Capitol building from 5 to 7 p.m. The bike ride will stop to rally at various “fossil fuel action stations” along the way — coal plants, a tar sands oil refinery and corporate headquarters — to call for a transition to a clean energy future and show support for a U.S. 36 bikeway between Boulder and Denver so cyclists can commute fossil-free.

CU monitoring sea ice decline The University of Colorado Boulder’s National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC), which is primarily funded by NASA, has discovered that the blanket of sea ice that floats on the Arctic Ocean appears to have reached its lowest extent of the year, and is the second lowest recorded since satellites began measuring it in 1979. The Arctic sea ice extent fell to 1.67 million square miles on Sept. 9, which is more than 1 million square miles below the 1979-2000 monthly average for September. Most scientists involved in the analysis say the shrinking Arctic sea ice is tied to warming temperatures caused by an increase in human-produced greenhouse gases pumped into Earth’s atmosphere. The NSIDC plans to issue a full analysis of the 2011 results and a comparison to previous years. Science project lands award The PhET Interactive Simulations project at the University of Colorado Boulder was named as a laureate of The Tech Awards 2011 for applying technology to benefit humanity and spark global change. The Tech Awards, a program of The Tech Museum of San Jose, Calif., is presented by Applied Materials Inc. The PhET project was selected from among hundreds of nominations from 54 countries. The project provides students of all ages with more than 100 interactive, research-based simulations of science and math concepts. Drug testing tool to be commercialized SuviCa Inc. of Boulder and the University of Colorado recently completed a license agreement for a CU drug screening technology used to identify novel therapies for cancer. The patented drug discovery tool, developed by CU-Boulder Associate Professor Tin Tin Su of the molecular, cellular and developmental biology department, uses a genetically modified Drosophila fruit fly model to screen for compounds effective against various types of cancer, either alone or in combination with existing therapies. The screening technique will be used to identify new clinical candidates using a method that is time-efficient and cost-effective.

“The concerns that were there last year shouldn’t be there this year,” she says. “We’ve done a better job communicating with the children and the parents.” The settlement was reached on June 10, and the two parties signed off on 10 agreements. Some of the agreements by the school include licensing 60 parking spaces from nearby Front Range Community College for additional afternoon parking, implementing a two-stage system for pick-ups, adding restrictions on releasing students from school, encouraging more carpooling, and educating parents on the terms of the agreements, according to the settlement. The settlement also states that both Flagstaff Academy and Circle Capital should improve their informal communications and cooperation with each other to “solve problems amicably” without outside legal involvement. The school increased strict enforcement of its “drive line” policy, which is a detailed plan for parents who are dropping off and picking up their children and is aimed at providing an efficient and safe system for the school. The policy gives three time slots between 3:30
and 4 p.m. for parents and caregivers picking up their children, as a way to reduce traffic flow. Children are alerted when their ride arrives in the drive line, according to Krebs. Families that choose to carpool will be rewarded with an earlier and more convenient time slot, she says. “We’ve segmented the times parents come at different increments, rather than all at 3:30. It’s a nice, consistently moving line of traffic,” she says. “It works really well.” Krebs explains that the school worked closely with the city of Longmont and the Longmont police to ensure that Flagstaff follows all procedures necessary for smoother transportation to and from the school. A crossing guard and staff members also monitor the school after hours to ensure that parents and children are acting safely, she says. Angela Dailey, senior property manager at Circle Capital, says that the system is working for now. “We haven’t had any trouble,” she says. “School just started, but we are keeping an eye on it.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

A
Boulder man’s claim that Boulder Community Hospital reversed its position on allowing him to use his medical marijuana on the premises has raised questions about how closely medical staff follow hospital policies prohibiting cannabis use on site. The man, who asked to have his name withheld because he fears retribution, asserts that he and his wife were told by a BCH nurse in April that he could smoke medical marijuana at the west end of the BCH parking lot as long as he did it discreetly in his car. But he claims that hospital staff backed off that stance after he used cannabis in the parking lot during a Sept. 12–13 hospital stay. The man says that when he left the hospital to smoke in the parking lot, security guards thought he was leaving the premises against the medical advice of his doctor, and BCH staff discharged him as a result. He maintains that he needed to smoke the marijuana because he was nauseous and vomiting at the time, and he is allergic to the other medicines the hospital administers for such symptoms. The man did provide Boulder Weekly with a letter from BCH outlining concerns about the number of times he has been coming to the emergency room for chronic pain and vomiting, with requests for narcotic pain medication. The letter 16 September 22, 2011
states that BCH will provide him with hydration and anti-nausea medication, but will no longer give him narcotic pain medication unless he is suffering from an “acute medical condition.” Celanie Pinnell, a communications specialist for BCH, told Boulder Weekly that the hospital complies with federal law, under which marijuana is an illegal controlled substance, and as a result, no type of marijuana is permitted on the premises, including the parking lot. And yet the patient who was discharged on
Sept. 13 claims that his BCH doctor signed off on his medical marijuana card and is well aware that cannabis is among the medications he takes regularly. The situation raises questions about how hospital doctors deal with what Pinnell acknowledges is a gray area — the legitimate use of marijuana as a medicine by patients of a facility that is required to treat it as an illegal drug. Citing federal privacy laws, Pinnell would not comment on the man’s specific case, but she says no BCH employee can authorize marijuana use, and smoking of any kind is prohibited on the entire BCH campus. When asked whether it would be incorrect for a nurse to tell a patient that he could smoke medical cannabis in his car in the parking lot, Pinnell would not comment. She did say that hospital staff are educated about the cannabis prohibition during their initial training, and it is widely known that it is a non-smoking campus. Pinnell says that no one employed by BCH may sign off on a medical marijuana card, although doctors who have their own practices outside the hospital may do so. “If it is a hospital health care professional, no,” Pinnell says. “If they are an employee of the hospital, they would have to abide by federal law.” As for how BCH doctors deal with patients who use cannabis, she says that is between the docBoulder Weekly
tor and the patient. “It might be kind of tricky,” she acknowledges. “It’s all very new.” In response to a question about whether BCH employees are expected to report what the hospital considers illegal drug use, Pinnell says that if a patient is registered with the state as a medical marijuana user with the state, there shouldn’t be a need for BCH doctors or nurses to report cannabis use. “I’d imagine they’d be on the phone a lot,” she says with a laugh. According to Pinnell, BCH does prescribe Marinol, a synthetic drug that is chemically similar to marijuana and offers similar benefits. Niles Utlaut, an ophthalmologist whose office is located in the hospital, told Boulder Weekly that he didn’t know what the BCH policy is on medical marijuana, but it doesn’t apply to him anyway since he is not employed by the hospital. Utlaut says that while cannabis does mildly reduce eye pressure, he only recommends it to patients as a last resort, after they have tried all other therapies. Still, he says, from a philosophical standpoint, if a patient has severe, chronic pain or is terminally ill, “if they think it helps, why the hell not let them use it?” Timothy Tipton of Denver, a court-certified cannabis expert and patient advocate, says he knows of no hospitals in the area that permit the use — or even possession — of medical marijuana in their facilities. About six years ago, he says, a card-carrying medical marijuana patient brought her cannabis with her to Exempla Lutheran Medical Center in Wheat Ridge, and when she learned of their policy prohibiting it, she called Tipton to come get the medicine because he was certified as her caregiver. When he arrived, he says, “security got their underwear all up in a bind about it, and the police came out because they didn’t want me to take possession of her marijuana.” Things have improved somewhat since then, Tipton says, citing another patient who brought his cannabis with him when he was admitted into Porter Adventist Hospital for surgery last summer. Hospital staff simply stored the marijuana with his other belongings, “so there wasn’t a major freakout like there used to be,” Tipton explains. That patient, Larry Shurtleff, told Boulder Weekly that while hospitals are not as understanding of cannabis as they should be, “there’s really not much they can say about it,” because it’s legal under state law. Tipton, who is an instructor for the Cannabis Therapy Institute, calls cannabis “the most benign substance on the planet” and says other drugs prescribed by hospitals — not to mention Boulder Weekly
the ailments themselves — are much worse for one’s health. “The intake of synthetic drugs into the body is not something you want long term,” he says. Tipton notes that for non-smoking medical campuses, there are alternatives to smoking, from edibles to e-cigarettes that rely on cannabis oil and emit only vapor, do not smell and deliver 200 doses per cartridge. He says medical marijuana patients can sometimes get away with using cannabis by going to a smoking area at a medical campus, and one patient
“would go the next block over in the alley to smoke his joint.” Tipton even recalls a patient at BCH who used to go to his girlfriend’s van in the parking lot to medicate. He says he sees similar issues in nursing homes, many of which do not permit cannabis on the premises. Those that do have started requiring patients to medicate in the privacy of their own rooms, so that they don’t disturb — or tempt — fellow residents. According to Tipton, at one assisted living center, a medical marijuana patient was eating a cannabis
cookie when she was assaulted by another resident who wanted it. Inquiries into cannabis policies at other local medical facilities such as Longmont United Hospital and Kaiser Permanente did not yield replies by deadline. “It still hasn’t reached the point where patients can medicate in the hospital,” Tipton says. “I think it’s very sad that the traditional medical community hasn’t educated itself on this. … We’ve had nurses who wigged out completely over hard candy.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

Beyond green homes
E
Dressing your home for winter weather
repare to be amazed. Or surprised. Or jealous. This year’s Tour of Sustainable Homes, formerly the Tour of Solar and Green Homes, has planned a day of programming designed to let you get acquainted with more than your neighbors’ solar panels. There may be a little keeping up with the Joneses, but mostly this everbroadening tour is designed to meet the expanding view of what it means to live sustainably. Sixteen years ago, when the tour started as the Tour of Solar Homes with funding by the Department of Energy, photovoltaic solar panels (PVS) were “exotic technology,” says Brad Queen, energy division director for the Center for ReSource Conservation and one of the tour’s organizers. “We started funding these tours to say ‘Hey, a lot has changed since then. These are not that exotic, and they are something you can incorporate into your homes,’” Queen says. “Over the past five years, solar PV has become passé. ... Good luck going around Boulder and not seeing PVS.” So, the tour, which takes place this year on Oct. 2, has expanded on the elements of resource conservation — saving energy and water — it always included, and even expanded to assess homes based on their transportation options, waste transportation, access to local
by Elizabeth Miller foods, and surrounding community. This year’s tour selection committee considered $4 million homes and included an affordable housing development in Boulder and a former coal miner’s shack in Louisville. The debate on what to include, and whether to include the million-dollar homes, became quite impassioned, Queen says. “We keep emphasizing each year bringing in more and more variety in the homes, so rather than just having million-dollar investments, we also have very modest homes that, inside and out, are showing applications of living sustainably,” says Alison Layman, communications manager for ReSource. “There are people who approach buildings as high-tech, technology-driven sustainability, and they’ll build the net-zero house that’s $3 million, but you can see the obvious problems in something like that,” Queen says. “For one, it’s not scalable. Not many people can afford that type of solution.

EnergySmart is running energy audits around the county, and advisors have found Boulder homes consistently under-dressed for the winter — in spots that surprise some homeowners. Boulder homes aren’t alone. Department of Energy officials estimate that more than 60 percent of all U.S. homes are un- or under-insulated — even some built in the past 10 years. This year, EnergySmart is working to help homes and businesses in the county stay warm by providing energy advisors who work on their energy assessments, then help prioritize projects, complete forms for rebates and review bids from contractors. “We were starting to see that homeowners were getting energy audits and starting to have like Xcel and other independent contractors do energy assessments of their homes, but then they’d get the report and just kind of be left hanging on ‘What do we do next’ and ‘How do I coordinate contractors’ and ‘What rebates are available,’” says Dave Penzkover, a senior advisor for the team of energy advisors from Populus Sustainable Design Consulting working with EnergySmart. The response from the people he’s worked with on Boulder Weekly
actually that well, compared to a moderate home that’s sealed up well, wellinsulated and has a few technology updates, Queen says. “We’re trying to give people more of a larger scope of all things they can do, which often don’t have to be investing in larger technologies or expensive technologies,” Layman says. What ReSource is moving toward is a way to aggregate information on conservation to help homeowners craft plans to work with their personal situation, because the bottom line in sustainable homes doesn’t always come down to a balance sheet. It comes down to a comfort, safety and lifestyle, Queen says. “They want to enjoy their homes,” he says. “They don’t want to be uncomfortable in the den when they’re trying to read by the window in the winter. … They want to enjoy their home more, and if they can make improvements and also save money, great.” ReSource teamed with government and nonprofit groups to get more information out about programs and rebates available to help people attending the tour work out a personal plan for more sustainable living. The tour will also be
by Elizabeth Miller the program has been overwhelmingly positive, he says. “I probably could have done this all on my own, but it would have taken a lot longer,” says Kathy Denault, a former EnergySmart participant, in a testimonial collected by EnergySmart. “We constantly talk about recommending the lowest cost upgrades for the most benefit to the homeowner,” Penzkover says, “and that’s typically with insulation and air-sealing.” A lot of homeowners expect to need to replace their windows, he says, but usually improving the air sealing around them makes enough difference. Better insulation and air-sealing can provide a relatively quick return on the investment, compared to replacing windows or installing solar panels, Penzkover says. More than 2,800 residents and 700 businesses have benefited from EnergySmart services to date, according to Beth Beckel, Boulder County’s energy efficiency and sustainability specialist. Their target is to reach 10,000
an opportunity to meet the contractors required to do a serious remodel on an energy-sucking home. “Our mission is to empower people to conserve natural resources,” Layman says. “Showing people the whole spectrum of these programs is accomplishing our mission.” Their partners include Transition Colorado, B-Cycle, which is providing free bikes for tour participants to ride the route, and the City and County of Boulder, which devoted a Hop bus to provide a bus-powered tour of the homes. The tour includes a home improved with the assistance of local government programs, which shows that it doesn’t take a fortune to remodel a house to have a small footprint, and one that devoted a limited budget to building out the property with a permaculture plan. “This is an overwhelming number of topics and tactics and lifestyle issues, and we realize that and we’re not expecting people to come through and say, at the end of the tour, ‘Now I know it all and I’m going to go off and do this at my home,’” Queen says. “What we want to do is show them that there are a lot of local resources that can help them start working their plan ... and now, at the end of the tour, they’ll know who to talk to.” And, yes, there will be chicken coops.

homes and 3,000 businesses before federal funding for the program runs out in May 2013. “Every person that signs up will at least be saving a little bit of energy at the end,” Beckel says. “The ideal is to get as many of those people through the program to some sort of upgrade, but we recognize not everybody is going to be in a position that they’re financially ready to do that.” EnergySmart starts with a technical home energy assessment to help pinpoint hidden leaks and energywasters. For $120, the Energy Advisor helps start cutting waste with a comprehensive energy assessment, in addition to installing free energy-saving light bulbs, showerheads and water pipe insulation. Those already set on a project can get rebate assistance and quick installs for $30. Those who have an audit report from the past three years receive the energy advisor service free. “It seemed like a good investment for $120,” says Joe Roberts, another EnergySmart participant, in a testimonial collected by EnergySmart. “I was wrong … It was worth five to 10 times that cost.” EnergySmart also offers rebates, as well as “microloans” for $500 to $5,000 at 2.5 percent interest.

A
favorite folk tale that captivates children around the country is the legend of John Henry, the tale of the man who bests a steam-powered hammer in a drilling race, only to die with hammer in hand after victory. It’s a tale of Olympian strength and determination, but the profoundly tragic message of the story is often lost on the children who read it, too young to understand the full connotations of the relationship between humanity and technology. The message, of course, is that you can’t fight progress. John Henry was left where he fell, and the world moved on. We moved forward. He won the battle, but the outcome of the war had been decided long before John Henry ever picked up a hammer. Never has the rift between humanity and technology been so apparent as now, in the midst of the digital revBoulder Weekly
olution, when technology is evolving at a more rapid pace than in any other time in history. It is also the only time where we will be faced with a rift between Digital Natives, who came of age in the digital era, and Digital Immigrants, who remember a time when cell phones, iPads, GPS and Facebook were not a way of life. “The Digital Immigrants who didn’t grow up with these tools will soon retire and pass away,” says Mark Bauerlein, an Emory University professor currently teaching at the University of Colorado Boulder’s English department. Bauerlein is the best-selling author of The Dumbest Generation, which railed against the effects of social media on our nation’s youth, and editor of The Digital Divide, a more moderate collection of see INTERNET Page 22

has much to do with the way we read online. Rather than sit down and read an article as it was written, our eyes now scan through articles or web pages, quickly picking out the relevant information while tossing aside the rest. It’s all part of the need for the instant gratification that the digital age has ushered in. If we can’t pick out what we are looking for on a website within a few seconds, we’ll just move on to the next one. In a sense, the digital revolution has replaced meticulous study and knowledge for its own sake with intellectual efficiency. In perhaps the most chilling and resonant piece in The Digital Divide, a reprint of the 2008 article from The Atlantic called, “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” Nicholas Carr worries that the endgame of the digital revolution is a world where “intelligence is the output of a mechanical process, a series of discrete steps that can be isolated, measured and optimized.” With such easy access to every piece of information known to man, the danger is the brain will begin to struggle with abstract thought, and that “ambiguity will not be an opening for insight but a bug to fixed.” Just as the Industrial Revolution turned laborers into some-
thing resembling an automaton, Carr fears the digital one will do the same for thinkers. It’s a bit of a wonder that we haven’t tried to make the brain more efficient before now. All of those great machines we build, those pillars of our progressing society, are all ways to make the world a more efficient place. We make things easier, simpler and faster, as if we have the idea that if we could just save enough time, we could start tackling those big dilemmas of the human condition. But some things can’t be made efficient, and the worry is that those things will be left by the wayside. Reading, for example, is a horribly inefficient process, requiring both time and undivided attention. Yet you can’t tell me that a society where people don’t read is somehow more advanced than one where reading is highly valued. “Eventually, everything is going to be done over the screen,” Bauerlein says. “They will read and write through that medium, and it has the power to be a wonderful learning tool. But I would hate to lose the long book, the old linear reading. All I hope is that we preserve a little space for reading and writing in the oldfashioned way.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

Sweet Slumgum
Avant-garde jazz quartet teams up with Art Lande for concert by Jon Ross Boulder Weekly
T
revor Anderies, one-fourth of the Los Angeles-based avant-garde jazz group Slumgum, sees the band’s current tour through Colorado as a trip into the past. The drummer was born in Denver and grew up in Castle Rock, studying swing techniques with area musicians, and though Anderies is now far removed from his bebop beginnings, he credits the vibrant jazz scene in Denver and Boulder with shaping his career as a musician. Before moving away to attend the California Institute of the Arts in Los Angeles, Anderies learned the rudiments of jazz from Hugh Ragin, Ron Miles and other luminaries of the Colorado jazz scene. These early lessons form the base of his work with Slumgum
rial ownership attached to it. Sharing that process with another songwriter is perilous enough — how much harder can it be with your own brother? “Well,” Wood says, “I think the thing for us, and this came from our last CD Loaded, we realized we had a lot of the same musical influences, which goes way back to before Chris’ band and my own stuff, to the days where we grew up listening to our dad’s record collection and listening to our dad sing and play. So we’re coming back to our roots, in a way … Joni Mitchell, The Beatles, Dylan, but also blues stuff like Lightnin’ Hopkins. “So in a way, we’re going back to that, but maybe more importantly we’re going back to a lot of family issues, when it comes to writing … On the Loaded CD, we wrote a lot about the passing of our Mom. … That sort of united us when it came to writing and what we were going though in our lives. And that was a kind of grown-up experience, but we also had issues with our parents, issues with each other, and now we both have wives and kids … so we just have a lot in common.” The brothers Wood collaboration took on a life of its own after some live tapes in 2004 and a why-not project to make a CD in 2005 unexpectedly led to a label deal and tour offers — great press, generous plaudits from the folk/Americana crowd, and the sense that the duo was maturing and developing more or less out in the open gave the project the kind of room and support it needed to breathe and flourish. But there’s always coming back home. “I love coming back to the mountains, absolutely,” he says. “I went to Boulder High, so did Chris, and our father [just retired from a professor seat at CU] still lives there. Yeah, it’s changed a lot since I lived there, but I look up to the mountains, and they still look the same.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com — a bee-keeping term for the detritus left over from processing honeycomb — even if bebop lies a few layers below the group’s oddly structured tunes and reliance on anything but a standard swing drum beat. “I was just encouraged and inspired by those guys as I was growing up,” Anderies said by phone while riding down the highway toward Santa Fe, N.M., the first stop on Slumgum’s six-night tour. “They’re really into supporting young jazz education, so there was a whole host of jazz musicians when I was growing up that came up under the wing of these musicians.” While out on the road, Slumgum will play four concerts in Anderies’ home state, including a show at see SLUMGUM Page 26

the Ceraso Gallery and Studio in Lafayette with pianist Art Lande on Thursday, Sept. 22. Lande is one of the biggest influences from the drummer’s early days in Colorado, and the pianist’s musical influence rubbed off to some extent on the other musicians in the group. “He’s one of the best teachers all of us have had who really knows how to bring out the best qualities of a person in a human way and a musical way,” Anderies says. The music on Slumgum’s sophomore release, Quardboard Flavored Fiber, is definitely harder to listen to than what many of Anderies’ first teachers play, but the sound isn’t as unpredictable or strange as what most people tag “avantgarde” music. Saxophonist Jon Anderson eeks out plenty of multiphonic squeals, and pianist Rory Cowal and bassist Dave Tranchina help create a heavily dissonant harmonic language, but there is a purpose to the uproar. Tenderness, in the form of Anderson’s breathy subtone mixing with Cowal’s gentle piano touch, is as part of the group’s dynamic as loud, free-blowing sections. World rhythms pulse through the music in tiny bits, and there’s an underlying groove to most of the proceedings, even if that pulse gets thrown through a blender every few measures. So how did a Colorado jazz drummer get involved in avant-garde music? Anderies credits his study at the California Institute of the Arts, where he also met the other members of the band. Professors at the college encouraged Anderies and his friends to take musical chances. In Los Angeles, they moved beyond the standard approach to jazz education, which is seen by some to stifle
creativity, and embraced being different. Each member of the group latched on to world music in addition to jazz — Anderies learned about Ghanaian drummers, while Anderson focused on the Hindustani and Carnatic forms of Indian composition — and these studies come across in the Slumgum sound. “[The institute] was the type of environment where everything was encouraged and nothing was discouraged, which sometimes brought about the worst things and sometimes brought about the best things,” Anderies says. “It created a community where people were always willing to experiment and try new things and support each other rather than putting a front up about what they think is the right thing to be doing.” But they’re not in college anymore, and Anderies will freely say that being a touring musician isn’t the easiest job, especially when the musicians are playing jazz with a few added quirks and wrinkles. The music, Anderies says, isn’t abrasive, but it’s still a struggle to get people to hear something new. To supplement the meager income from gigs, the musicians are performing clinics at schools in the cities they visit. Every time Anderies helps open the ears of some high-school kid to a new sound, he’s helping pass avant-garde jazz onto the next generation. “To see a younger musician’s mind go off and open their minds to a possibility that they never thought of” is gratifying, he says. “It can just take one sentence, and that could just set someone off in a completely different direction for the rest of their life. To have that ability to share that with someone is extremely special to all of us.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com Boulder Weekly

CANDY’S vintage clothing etc. Cinematography and ski porn by David Accomazzo
F
rom the opening shots of Solitaire, the new ski film from Sweetgrass Productions, you know you’re in for something
different. The movie begins with a grizzled Argentine actor, Tata Cabral, sitting by a fire, speaking lines inspired by Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness. “The heavy, mute spell of the wilderness seemed to draw him to its pitiless breast, by the awakening of dark and brutal instincts, by the memory of dark and satisfied passions,” the narrator intones over shots of barren Patagonian plains. Solitaire, featuring JP Auclair, Kim Havell, Will Cardamone, Chris Erickson and others, has plenty of pornographic moments to satisfy your most prurient interests as a skier, but the rest is unlike any ski film you’ve ever seen. Shot entirely in Patagonia and other parts of South America, the film tackles thematic elements more typical of mountaineering literature — man versus wild, the solitude of the high country, the invisible madness that propels extreme athletes to take extraordinary risks — than your run-of-the-mill ski porn. Not only that, the cinematography is beautiful, often stunning. Director Nick Waggoner fills the final product with underexposed moving postcards. He takes advantage of the wind-created striations in the snow to create some very visually striking images. There’s every sort of cinematography trick in the book — underexposures, artistic lens flares, match cuts, slow motion, time Boulder Weekly
lapses, crane shots, tracking shots and more. Waggoner, who did much of the shooting and editing as well, said that on the heels of Sweetgrass’ first two films, Hand Cut and Signatures, he started looking for a different challenge. “We saw some other film companies repeating the process year after year, pretty much making the same movie, and we didn’t want to do that,” Waggoner says. “We wanted to challenge ourselves and wanted to do something stylistically new. … South America is great for that. It’s super unique; it’s super diverse. Nobody has really ever tackled making a ski film down there before, because it’s super difficult.” Wind-whipped Patagonia is a notoriously difficult place to access, let alone ski. Waggoner and crew spent days at a time trekking with 90-liter packs over treacherous terrain, including one particularly difficult climb in Peru’s Cordillera Huayhuash. They were attempting to ski a glacier that had only been climbed by two people, and they had the most experienced guide in Peru leading them. They were skiing over thin, unstable snow bridges, leaping five-foot crevasses and trying not to damage the expensive equipment they had to bring with them. “It was pretty fantastic,” Waggoner says. “It was a 22-hour day. In the sun, at altitude, and all of that. I remember coming down, broken. At the end of the day I was so glad to be back at base camp, eating fried chicken. … It’s incredible, that kind of danger, that kind of rawness, being on the edge.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

Shades of grey
A Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Clybourne Park packs a punch by Gary Zeidner
H
Michael Ensminger
From left, Dee aving lived and traveled all Covington, ZZ over this great land of ours, Moor and Cris Davenport I can say without reservation or equivocation that Boulder is one of the most racially homogenous places left in the United States. Despite its pronounced liberal bent and the fact that it wears its progressiveness like a pot-leaf-shaped badge of honor, Boulder is just about as white-bread as it gets. Certainly, other races are represented, but white folks make up such a supermajority of Boulder’s populace that it is actually noteworthy when one sees an African-American (or, to put it in terms Prince might use, “person of the race formerly known as black”) walking down the street. Trust me — in most other parts of the country, that is simply not the case. For that reason alone, I encourage all you overwhelmingly white, privileged, sheltered timeframes involved, the central conflict of the first Boulderites to get out of the bubble and make the act revolves around the first African-American — at trek down to Denver for a performance of Clybourne that time referred to as either “colored” or “Negro” Park. Continuing its tradition of bringing intellidepending on which character is speaking — family gent, challenging plays to the stage, the Curious moving into the all-white neighborhood. In the secTheatre Company opens its 14th season with the ond act, the situation is reversed, as a white couple regional premiere of Bruce Norris’ 2011 Pulitzer attempts to move in to what has become an entirely Prize-winning examination of racial issues both in African-American neighborhood. contemporary America and in its more, er, blackThe same seven cast members, Dee Covington, and-white past. Cris Davenport, Josh Hartwell, C. Kelly Leo, ZZ Set in a residential neighborhood just outside Moor, Erik Sandvold and Andy Waldschmidt, appear downtown Chicago, Clybourne Park takes place almost in both the first and second acts. Interestingly, as no entirely within a single house that, due to its geogracharacter from the first act shows up in the second phy and assorted random events, becomes the flashact, none of the actors play the same roles from one point for racial tension on two separate occasions. act to the next. As usual, Director Chip Walton has Playwright Norris uses the two-act structure to its assembled a crackerjack cast, and every one of them utmost by setting the first act in 1959 and the second delivers an applause-worthy performance. Denver 50 years later in 2009. As one might expect given the Center Theatre Company regular Erik Sandvold once
again astounded me with his craft. In the first act, Sandvold’s Russ is the absolute center of things, both emotionally and in terms of the action on stage. He makes you feel every ounce of his sadness, rage and isolation. In the second act, he flips 180 degrees and plays a much more marginal character with a light and unaffected comic air. The contrast is incredible. Sandvold is not alone in his ability to transform, however. Josh Hartwell goes from playing a well-meaning but extremely bigoted Rotary Club member in 1959 to playing an urbane yuppie facing unexpected community pressure of his own in 2009. What really amazed me about Hartwell’s performance, though, was that it took me until intermission before I was 100 percent certain of which role I’d seen him play in Boulder Ensemble Theatre Company’s An Empty Plate in the Café du Grande Boeuf a mere four and a half months ago. His physical appearance had not changed much at all — this is not a case of gaining 50 pounds and growing a Grizzly Adams beard — but he was virtually unrecognizable to me simply by virtue of his acting. Bravo, Mr. Hartwell, bravo! A play like Clybourne Park strives to make its audience think as well as feel. The highest praise it can obtain is that people are still discussing and deconstructing it hours or days after seeing it. In my experience, post-performance discussion with my companion de nuit generally ends about 10 or 15 minutes after we leave the theater. With Clybourne Park, my theatre-mate and I debated various aspects of the play, often with considerable passion, for more than an hour. It’s just that good. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

Dear Dr. Jenni, I’m not so into sex. My husband loves it. He would ideally like it every day. We end up having sex about once a week. I figure if I can get him to do things for me, I will feel better about conceding to sex. For instance, I offer sex if he can mow the yard or do some ironing. I’ll even offer oral sex if he can clean the bathroom. Sometimes I feel like I am trading sex for housework chores. Is this a reasonable arrangement to do? —Housework Sex

T
he hike started innocently enough: a well-trodden trail from a Utah campground near the small ski resort of Brianhead. Soon, though, we left the trail and started bushwhacking up a steep ridge. The terrain was rough. Loose rocks made progress difficult for those in front and dangerous for those behind, as the occasional boulder would bounce free and tumble towards the valley floor. We crested the ridge and traversed along the steep face of yet another valley, dodging the fallen trunks of pine as the dry needles crackled beneath our feet. Below us, we could see the faint reflection of water, a thin band of wetness that coursed out of the Cedar Mountains, only a foot or so wide, and inches deep. We worked our way down to it, a hidden oasis in the dry climate. The stream led us down, over some red slickrock, remnants of the land’s geologic history. Then, suddenly, without warning, the stream vanished, into unseen depths, the gaping hole of a slot canyon hiding a netherworld of ferns and moss. From a precipice overlooking the waterfall, we could see the bottom, nearly 150 feet down, the first step in a series of steps we’d take as we left the surface of the planet behind and climbed into the depths. Canyoneering has been around as long as there have been canyons and people to go into them. The antithesis of rock climbing, canyoneering is about going down. But that doesn’t mean it’s easy or without risk, as Aron “One Arm” Ralston can attest. Still, for those who enjoy a bit of adventure, canyoneering is about as accessible a sport as you can find. Basic trips don’t require much at all: Some footwear that

can get wet and which will dry easily (and shorts to match) and a backpack with water, food and some first aid essentials are all that you need to get started. More intense trips await: The ability to handle ropes, do rappels and swim in icy waters, decent rock climbing skills and an immunity to claustrophobia allow serious participants to descend into places that are hidden from view. At its best, canyoneering takes you to spectacular grottos paved in the finest sand, the canyon walls painted in kaleidoscopic colors, the heat, noise and confusion of the Earth’s surface a forgotten memory. At its worst, canyoneering is a high-risk gamble with hypothermia, flash floods and Ralston-like mishaps where death can come quickly and without warning. Today, though, we’re not being served up a helping of Ralston’s survival fries, but rather feasting on the kind of beauty and solitude that are the hallmarks of a good canyoneering adventure. Our first rappel is a big one. With beefy trees for anchors, we rig up the lines, double-check our harnesses and then clip in, walk backward in the stream and drop over the edge. A riot of green plants and algae grace the red canyon walls as we rappel into the gloom. The water splashes into our eyes and cools us off. Up there on the ridges, it’s 102 in the shade. Down here, it’s perfect. The rappel ends in a shallow pool with sandy banks. We pull the rope and, with it, our lifeline to the world above. From here, there’s only one way to go: down. Most people think of mountains when they think of Colorado. But the state’s rugged geology, along with a privileged location on the Colorado see CANYONEERING Page 42

Plateau (which it shares with Utah and Arizona), means that Boulder residents have easy access to a region that is unparalled in North America when it comes to canyons. In fact, the Colorado Plateau might be the best place in the world for canyoneering, with destinations such as Zion at the top of many hit lists. Canyoneering can be as complex and difficult as you want it to be, and rock climbing skills are appreciated when you get into the tough stuff. Canyons are ranked according to a system that seems complex, but really isn’t too difficult to understand once you get the hang of it. This knowledge is power. Unlike the classic rock climbs of Yosemite or Eldorado Canyon, where one can look up at a face and quickly realize that the route is out of their league, canyons can be seductive and tricky. It’s easy to get into some of them, and nearly impossible to get out. And once you’re in, particularly if you rappel in, you are in, fully committed and, if a rescue is needed, in a place where it can be impossible for people on the surface to see where a victim is in trouble below. Throw in water, sometimes running and sometimes sequestered in potholes and pools, and you have another danger. At the bottom of a narrow slot, a pool may never see the sun, making the risk of hypothermia great. Flash floods can appear even when the sun is out, fueled by thunderstorms miles away. And some pools, with their sloping walls of sandstone, are impossible to climb out of once you get into them. Because of these risks, a good place to start a canyoneering education is at the American Canyoneering Association’s website. It’s here you’ll find a ranking system for canyons. Canyons are ranked on a scale of 1 to 4, with 1 being non-technical hikes and canyons with a grade of 4 requiring exposed free climbing, extensive use of ropes and expert anchor building skills. These numbers are augmented by the letters A 42 September 22, 2011
to C4, which denote the water hazard of each canyon. Canyons in the A and B categories can be approached with confidence, particularly when conditions are dry. But C1 to C4 canyons have water, with C4 canyons being extremely dangerous even for experienced canyoneers who are strong swimmers. Canyons are also given a risk assessment ranging from G (general public) to X and XX. In the latter two cases, errors in judgment or lack of ability will likely be punished with severe injury or death. The ACA also ranks canyons on a time/ commitment scale. Ranging from short (I) to multi-day (VI), the assessment grades how fast a person can travel through a specific canyon. Finally, some canyons get the coveted S designation. S stands for “slot,” the most spectacular and narrow canyons but also some of the most difficult, dangerous and technical canyons to attempt. Understanding this designation, as well as the other ways in which canyons are graded, is a key to pursuing the sport safely. The sad truth about canyons is that they kill people every year — people who exceeded their abilities, people who failed to comprehend exactly what they were getting into and people who didn’t bring enough gear or warm clothing and succumbed to the elements. Knowledge of the terrain and a healthy respect for the dangers that lurk in the depths of a canyon will help you avoid a similar fate. We leave the sandy pool and the large atrium at the base of our first rappel and rappel again, traveling deeper into the slot. In the shade, the water is cold, and we’re happy we’ve brought extra fleece layers despite the heat of the day above. Splashing through pools and climbing over chockstones with filtered sunlight painting the walls myriad shades of red, the exit comes as a surprise, the sun too bright, the air too hot, as we return to life on the surface.

Fairview grad Darragh O’Neill finds walk-on success with the Buffs by Alec Pronk
P
Courtesy of CU athletics
assion and pure drive are undoubtedly the reasons for CU’s starting punter Darragh O’Neill’s success as a Division I athlete in a sport he never played in high school. The fact that O’Neill propelled himself to a starting role at a program with a storied history in football in a matter of months speaks volumes about not only his athletic ability, but also his will to compete. I was a sophomore at Fairview High School when O’Neill was entering his senior year, in which he became captain of both the soccer and basketball teams. I was playing basketball at a yearly summer Darragh O’Neill basketball camp when I was faced with the daunting task of playing O’Neill in front of the rest of the campers. than his.

came in CU’s second game against California, when O’Neill believed he was illegally hit while still vulnerable after getting rid of the ball. O’Neill responded by jawing with a pair of Golden Bears, both of whom likely outweighed O’Neill by 100 pounds. A Division I soccer prospect, O’Neill declined scholarships to smaller schools to attend CU on his own dime. While watching the Buffs struggle last season, O’Neill began to believe he could be an asset to the team. “I was just watching some games last year, and I just loved the atmosphere, and I thought I could help out the team,” O’Neill says. “Over the winter I was just messing around punting with my dad, and I decided it was something I could do, so I started working on it.” His rise to a starting role is an uncommon one. Often soccer players become kickers rather than punters because the kick comes more naturally. The transition was not as easy as he originally thought.

stats and facts
Colorado head coach Jon Embree was recruited out of Cherry Creek High School by Ohio State. When he went to visit the campus, he witnessed the Buckeye basketball team take down then No. 1 Indiana. After the game, Embree met and spoke to legendary Indiana basketball coach Bob Knight. While scheduling fierce competition like Ohio State on the road may not seem to be a recipe for success, Colorado will be rewarded in the form of monetary compensation, with the athletic department receiving more than $1.4 million from the Buckeyes. There may be some bad blood between the Buffs and the Buckeyes, as it was OSU Athletic Director Gene Smith, who headed up the NCAA basketball tournament selection committee that ultimately denied Colorado basketball a trip to the NCAA tournament last season, much to the chagrin of fans and analysts alike.
Game predictions
Matt Sparkman (3-0): Colorado, 21-17 Don’t ask me why, but I think the Buffs will finally snap their hideous 18-game road losing streak on Saturday in Columbus against a struggling OSU offense. Guest Picker (2-1) — Bill Rabinowitz, Columbus Post-Dispatch: Ohio State, 24-13 Ohio State’s passing game can’t be any worse than it was against Miami. Colorado will get decent yardage through the air, but will have a hard time punching the ball into the end zone against a Buckeye defense stinging from allowing three touchdowns last week.
PERSEVERANCE from Page 44
“Definitely, I thought it would be like kicking a soccer ball,” O’Neill says. “But it was absolutely nothing like it. Obviously the shape of the ball is completely different, so it’s a completely different leg swing. It was definitely hard to pick up at first.” O’Neill has been able to translate his determination into one of the few consistent bright spots for the Buffaloes. He has stepped up in a big fashion for a program that has recently had problems with the punting game. He has averaged 45.9 yards per punt in the first three games of the season, and he also kicked six of his punts inside the opponent’s 20-yard line.
What makes his performance all the more impressive is the fact that O’Neill is excelling in high-pressure situations in front of a home crowd. “It’s pretty cool to be a part of it,” says O’Neill. “But, honestly, when I’m out there, I just blank out the crowd and everything, and I’m in the zone, and I do what I need to do and just get the job done.” O’Neill will have to draw upon both his athletic abilities and his fiery attitude with tough opponents approaching. He seems to possess the intangibles needed to succeed and improve a CU squad looking to return to its past glory. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com
Spikers struggle in California A look at Colorado’s first Pac-12 road trip by Matt Sparkman
W
hile Colorado volleyball’s official Pac-12 opener came last week against Utah, their true first test came this past weekend against the top two teams in the nation, California and Stanford. Coach Liz Kritza knew her team was in for a rocky weekend coming off a disappointing 3-0 loss to Utah, picked to finish 10th in the rigorous Pac-12. The Buffs appeared out of sync all night, struggling to finish winnable points and failing to make quality first contact off of Utah’s serves and attacks. Kritza threw a couple of relatively fresh faces into the match, including 6-foot, 5-inch middle blocker Neira Ortiz Ruiz and defensive specialists Elysse Richardson and Caitlyn Hubbard. “If you get beat, we can stomach that,” said Kritza. “That’s collegiate athletics, especially when you’re playing in this conference. But when you don’t perform well, that really doesn’t settle well with me, doesn’t settle well with these players, and we have to do something about it. We have a huge challenge ahead of us.” That challenge would begin with the No. 1 team in the nation. California, coming off an impressive 3-1 win against rival Stanford, turned its focus to the Buffs. After dropping the first set to the Golden Bears, Colorado matched California point-for-point, even putting themselves in a position to take the second set, something that had only been done once to Cal all year. CU had match point at 24-23, and their best server, Kerra Schroeder, at the line when Cal rolled off three straight points, taking the set and, ultimately, the match, in three sets.
Colorado’s Schroeder recorded 14 kills, and Megan Beckwith had a solid outing from her libero position, digging out 18 balls against California. Setter Alyssa Valentine orchestrated a fairly successful offensive effort, registering 32 assists. “We put ourselves in a position in the second set to beat the top team in the country through our aggressive serving and tenacious defense,” Kritza told CUBuffs.com after the loss. “We got better tonight as a team despite the loss simply because we were able to stick to our overall game plan for a higher percentage of the match than we had been before.” While the Buffs lost, it was clear that they had improved from their match against Utah. Next on the itinerary would be Stanford, the second-ranked team in the nation. While their ranking stood inferior to that of California, the Cardinal proved to be a much tougher test than the Golden Bears. CU fell to Stanford without much of a fight in three sets, unable to contend with the electrifying offense possessed by the Cardinal. CU now faces tilts with Oregon and Oregon State in Boulder on Friday, Sept. 23, and Saturday, Sept. 24, respectively. Oregon comes into the match ranked 15th nationally with only one loss, coming at the hands of nationally ranked Minnesota. The Ducks boast a win over Penn State, which has won the past four national championships. Oregon State will be one of the few teams the Buffs are expected to beat during Pac-12 play. A split over the weekend would be critical to CU’s confidence, as the Buffs find themselves in dire need of a victory, standing at 0-3 in Pac-12 play. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

Our authentic Italian cravings were cured when Frasca opened Pizzeria Locale next door and Il Café. The desire for both an intimate lounge and a kid-friendly community pub was satisfied when the Kitchen spread to Upstairs and Next Door. Our love of happy hour is being perpetuated by Q’s chef John Platt’s new Riffs, and our hunger for exotic fare has been fed by the Big Red F group, with Zolo, Jax, Centro and Happy. So what could we possibly want next? According to Peter and Mara Soutiere, owners of Tahona and Sushi Tora, what we are appardoing there.” ently craving is a high-end steakhouse. The couple got the idea for their steak room from a “I always look and see if there is a niche that needs trend they began to notice: the emergence of boutique to be filled,” Mara Soutiere says. “There is The Cork, steakhouses.

With the kitchen exper-
tise of Mara, the management talent of Peter, and the pair’s hard-earned knowledge from owning several restaurants over the years, they have developed the business savvy to operate three very different restaurants. Also, with the example of others, they have learned one of the most important lessons. “We looked around and saw how other people have done it,” Mara Soutiere says. “[Big Red F owner] Dave Query stands out as one of the most successful restaurateurs, and it is because of his team. So we know we need good managers and a good team.” Peter Soutiere makes sure his team is constantly evolving. The management is taught to work in each of the restaurants, to prevent an absence from becoming an emergency. The staff is taught every detail of the menu and the finer nuances of tequila at Tahona or wine at the Steak Room. The entire team, from the cooks to the busboys, will be practicing long before the opening of the new restaurant. In short, the Soutieres say they are going to make sure opening night runs as smoothly as possible. “Often restaurants open without the best plan in place because they are losing money and are only concentrated on getting people through the door,” Peter Soutiere says. “So many restaurants, including Tahona, are sweeping dust out the back door while people are walking through the front on opening day. Luckily, with the Steak Room, we have the luxury of taking another week if things aren’t running as smoothly as we like.” The Pearl Street Steak Room is scheduled to open in the next four weeks, provided that construction is finished soon and the Soutieres have the time to train their new staff. “Opening a restaurant is kind of like ripping off a Band-Aid,” Mara Soutiere says. “There is only so much you can do to prepare, and then you just have to open the doors.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

he standard-issue American breakfast of bacon and eggs traces its lineage back to its British ancestor, the “full English.” While some breakfasts may focus on sweet pastries and not much more than a tipple of coffee, the Anglo-American approach embraces both savory flavors and hearty sustenance. The downside is that while a steady diet of eggs and bacon (or other porcine-derived product) is mighty tasty, there’s a whisper of a chance it could be detrimental to one’s health over time. Consider the traditional Japanese breakfast. Instead of pork products, the protein usually consists of heart-friendly fish like mackerel and salmon. Eggs appear, but in modest quantities. Steamed rice replaces hash browns, and there’s usually a smattering of land or sea vegetables. In short, this repast is a healthier alternative, and it’s the sort of fare that makes it easy for diners to imagine themselves as ronin pitting the town’s criminal factions against each another. In the Bay Area, I was hard-pressed to find this breakfast outside of San Francisco’s Japantown, and it can be scarce even in the most populated metroplexes. Happily, the rebooted Alfalfa’s food court in downtown Boulder now offers this fare in partnership with Sushi Zanmai. The breakfast menu here consists of three choices, including an $8.80 meatless option called the Shojin, or Buddhist monk, consisting of miso soup, rice, sea vegetable and pickles. On the upper end, there’s the $10.80 Obaa-chan, which translates into “Grandma,” but could just as easily be dubbed an Asian Grand Slam, since it comes with nearly everything. There’s also the $6.80 Ochazuke, which gets the short end of the cool nickname stick, since this merely translates to “rice and tea.” Unsurprisingly, it’s rice in green tea broth, augmented by salmon. Natto, fermented soybean, is a $2 side, but it wasn’t available when friend Amy and I visited. Note that each meal is made to order, so one shouldn’t expect fast-food timing here, and seating is cafeteria-style.

Clay’s Obscurity Corner Fermented soybeans
N
atto is a preparation of fermented soybeans that visually resembles baked beans. Typically eaten with rice and seasoned with mustard and soy sauce, this dish possesses a pungent aroma and flavor that some may find off-putting. Fans of natto, however, associate it with myriad health benefits. Some of these are easily proven; for example, natto is a good source of vitamin K, associated with blood clotting necessary for healing. Natto is said to lower cholesterol and to help prevent certain types of cancer. Others have lauded it as a baldness cure, as well as a means to promote pet health.
The green tea broth in Amy’s Ochazuke was bland yet comforting, and the flavor was enhanced by the flaked salmon’s brininess and a dollop of wasabi. Taking a cue from the dashi playbook, the addition to the broth of sea vegetable would likely enhance the flavor, as would a shake of furikake, the spice and seaweed condiment. Nevertheless, this dish made for a healthy, clean-tasting breakfast. The Grandma was worthy of the name, resembling something a doting older relative would feed beloved children. I encountered friends Lieko and Nils, who were also sampling this offering, and Lieko noted that the salmon portion was larger and less salty than that of a typical Japanese breakfast. Tamago, the
layered omelet familiar to sushi bar denizens, complemented the fish, and here it wasn’t as sweet as other versions, which is fine by me. Besides the required bed of sticky white rice and miso soup, the sides included strands of tasty hijiki sea veggie and pleasingly earthy kabocha squash chunks. Japanese breakfast at Alfalfa’s is truly a unique dining experience, and apparently this is the only retail spot in Colorado serving this meal. It’s definitely worth experiencing, especially if one seeks a healthier alternative to bacon and eggs. Plus, breakfast here has the added benefit of making you feel like you are dining like a masterless samurai. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

guess my Crispness in the Air Dance really paid off. It’s similar to the Rain Dance, but involves juggling and firethrowing. I pulled out all the stops for this lovely weather we are having — you can thank me later. You might have to thank me twice after you sink your teeth into this dreamy fall dessert. Besides making your house smell delicious, like Bath and Body Works, it is the treat you will turn to all season. Apple Cardamom e Crisp. Hello spicy! I love cardamom. It is a bit strong, so we aren’t adding too much. Less is more with this warm and cozy spice. Cardamom has a bit of a citrus undertone, which pairs so well with the apples. After the first bite, you will see visions of leaves changing colors, hay rides and pumpkin patches. This is one magical dessert, my friends. If I were a Spice Girl, forget about Sporty Spice, I would be the real thing and rock the Cardamom Spice moniker like nobody’s business. I really like using Granny Smiths in this particular recipe. They are tart and crisp, and pairing with the cardamom really enhances their flavor and makes this a crisp to remember. I would suggest a little bit of homemade whipping cream — the touch of sweetness really rounds out the flavor. And who couldn’t use a touch of sweetness in their lives? As always, I don’t peel the apples. I like the texture of the skin, and there are a lot of nutrients in the peel. I certainly don’t want to deprive you of your nutrients. I just care way too much. The topping is an easy combination of brown sugar, oats and the usual suspects you would generally see BAR

L
ongmont’s Georgia boys BBQ has the feel of an old-school barbecue, right down to its location in an old house nestled among warehouses a stone’s throw from downtown. Available meats include pulled pork, pulled chicken and brisket. Both the pork and brisket are outstanding preparations, adroitly balancing spice, smoke and meatiness, while even a typically mundane side like BBQ beans becomes noteworthy once the Georgia boys have laid their hands on it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Driven by fashion to mediocrity by Michael Phillips
D
rive begins extremely well and ends in a muddle of ultra-violence, hypocrisy and stylistic preening, which won’t be any sort of deterrent for those who
like its looks. Director Nicolas Winding Refn’s avengingangel thriller premiered at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, where Refn won the directing prize, and every supersaturated image is designed for hushed adoration. If the movie were a movie star, it’d be looking just past you to see if someone cooler had recently come in. Ryan Gosling plays Driver, a tight-lipped loner who puts the stench in “existential” and has nothing in his blinkered life outside his gig as stunt driver for the movies; his job at an auto repair garage run by his pal played by Bryan Cranston; and his illegal work as a getaway driver for criminals. The story’s L.A. setting locates Drive in the category of sunshine-SoCal noir, half-blue skies and shiny surfaces, the other half nocturnal villainy. The superb Carey Mulligan plays Irene, a Denny’s waitress who lives down the hall from Driver in their MacArthur Park-area apartment complex, which is decorated like Dorothy Vallens’ place in Blue Velvet. Irene’s lowlife husband (Oscar Isaac) is due out of prison soon; prior to his release, Irene and their young
son become friends with Driver, who takes them for, yes, drives along the concrete basin of the L.A. River. How this glamorous cipher in the scorpion jacket becomes part of a troubled family unit, and how he becomes the target of loutish mobsters played by Albert Brooks and Ron Perlman, form the crisscrossing roads of the narrative. It’s compelling for a good while. The pre-credit sequence — the first robbery and getaway we see in Drive — is one of the more gripping openings of the year. Refn’s tendency to turn every close-up into fashion photography is held in check. Drive is like the poseur nephew of the Lee Marvin character from
Point Blank; his is a world of shadows and solitary figures trapped in severely art-directed spaces. None of the behavior or dialogue in Drive consciously evokes human speech, or planet Earth; we’re in movieland. For a while Refn’s noir tropes are seductive, even though the story — Driver stepping up as psychoShane protector of the waitress and her son and transforming into a blood-spattered revenge machine — is the same old story, albeit with super-cool lighting and fastidious postproduction color correction. I especially like Mulligan, one of the great listeners and empathetic interpreters in contemporary film, and Brooks, whose sleazy character’s backslapping nature (the gangster used to be a movie producer) masks a bloodthirstiness, at least until the blood starts flying. Before long, and then with grinding relish, Drive becomes one garishly sadistic set piece after another. Refn and screenwriter Hossein Amini, adapting the novella by James Sallis, don’t have the interest or the guts to examine Driver from the inside, if there is one. —MCT, Tribune Media Service Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com
Women, poorly portrayed by Michael Phillips
T
hwarted by the same awkward timing that zonked Confessions of a Shopaholic two years ago, just when shopaholics began to seem extra-heinous, the film version of I Don’t Know How She Does It doesn’t know how to do what I think it’s trying to do. I think it’s trying to acknowledge the real-world pressures shaping millions of women’s work/life to-do lists. When the investment firm wizard played by Sarah Jessica Parker tells a colleague she got into fund management because people today are “scared to death about their future,” it’s meant sincerely, and Parker — even in a disposable comedy with a pudding-like consistency and the aftertaste of something other than real sugar — does not oversell it. Her comic and dramatic technique is formidable. If she can survive Did You Hear About the Morgans? and the second Sex and the City movie, she can survive anything. Freely adapting Allison Pearson’s 2002 London-set Boulder Weekly
best-seller, adjusted to Boston and New York locales and a tougher economy, screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna has the devil’s own time juggling agendas. It’s the same for Kate Reddy, the Parker character, who must negotiate time-sucking work projects; a backbiting rival (Seth Meyers) and a demanding boss (Kelsey Grammer); the sweet attentions of a high-powered colleague played by Pierce Brosnan; and a tightly packed calendar involving two kids, a nanny and her super-easygoing-but-there’s-alimit husband, an underemployed architect played by Greg Kinnear. The movie concerns three especially chaotic months in Kate’s life. In addition to direct-address bits to the camera, the script relies largely on Kate’s musings in voice-over, whisking us back in spirit to the comparatively carefree days of Parker in Sex and the City (which, on television, let’s remember, was often wonderful). But the comedy’s forced and rather forlorn in I Don’t
Know How She Does It. We first see Kate, who’s TypeTriple-A, as she desperately repackages a store-bought pie for a bake sale to make it seem homemade. Old joke; no new spin. Each supporting character gets placed into her own little box, labeled “shrill, stay-at-home, exercisemad mom” (Busy Philipps plays the queen of the elliptical machines) or “generically supportive best pal” (Christina Hendricks) or “workaholic assistant reminiscent of Emily Blunt in The Devil Wears Prada (Olivia Munn as Kate’s driven aide-de-camp, Momo). For a movie largely about temptation, I Don’t Know How She Does It has a weirdly low sexual current. Whenever Kate and her husband argue about their dangerously low rate of intercourse or some other matter, the stakes seem low, the friction frictionless. The Brosnan character apparently has been keeping himself chaste all these years (since the loss of his wife) for That Girl — sorry, Carrie Bradshaw — sorry, Kate Reddy. I enjoy a lot of these performers. But performers can do only so much to specify what is not specific, or vivid. —MCT, Tribune Media Service Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

Boulder Weekly
astrology boulderweekly.com/astrology ARIES
March 21-April 19:
“I have a simple philosophy,” said Alice Roosevelt Longworth, a self-described hedonist who lived till the age of 96. “Fill what’s empty. Empty what’s full. Scratch where it itches.” That’s not an approach I recommend you pursue all the time, Aries, but I think it could be both wise and fun for you to do so in the coming weeks. Given the upcoming astrological omens, you have a mandate to find out where the most interesting action is, and dive in with the intent to generate even more action. The catalysts need another catalyst like you.
TAURUS
April 20-May 20:
A guy on Reddit.com posted a photo that made me think of you. He had been out walking in the wilds of Ontario, and found a single ripe peach growing on a scraggly, skinny tree in the middle of an abandoned quarry. There were no other peach trees in sight, let alone peaches. I suspect that when you find beauty and sustenance in the coming days, Taurus, they will be in similar situations: unexpected and unlikely. That doesn’t mean they’ll be any less sweet. (See the peach: http://bit.ly/lonelypeach.)
GEMINI
May 21-June 20:
If you’ve ever been to a flavor-tripping party, you’ve eaten “miracle fruit” — berries with the scientific name Synsepalum dulcificum. They coat your tongue with a substance that makes all subsequent foods taste sweet. The effect lasts no more than an hour, but while it does, lemons, radishes, and pickles may as well be desserts. Be alert for a metaphorical version of the miracle fruit, Gemini. There’s an influence coming your way that could temporarily make everything else seem extra delectable. As long as you’re aware of what’s happening, it will be a quirky blessing.
CANCER June 21-July 22:
Born in Austria, Susanne Wenger became a high priestess of the Yoruba religion in Nigeria. When she died in 2009 at the age of 93, she had devoted the last 50-plus years of her life to protecting and beautifying a sacred forest in the Osogbo area. It’s hard for most of us to imagine loving a place as much as she did, but that’s what I’m encouraging you to do. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you will accrue unforeseen benefits by becoming more deeply connected to a special patch of earth. To do so will awaken a dormant part of your soul, for one thing. It could also advance one of your lifelong quests, which is to feel ever-more at home in the world.
LEO
July 23-Aug. 22:
“Personally I’m always ready to learn,” said Winston Churchill, “although I do not always like being taught.” You may soon find yourself sharing that paradoxical state of mind, Leo. It’s time for you to receive the new teachings you have been unconsciously preparing yourself to absorb. But at least in the early stages, these useful lessons may get on your nerves or make you squirm. Stick with them. Keep the faith. Sooner or later, your crash course will become enjoyable.
VIRGO
Aug. 23-Sept. 22:
“Our job is to become more and more of what we are,” says poet Marvin Bell. “The growth of a poet seems to be related to his or her becoming less and less embarrassed about more and more.” Whether or not you’re a poet, Virgo, I would like to apply this gauge to your own growth. The way I see it, your power to claim your birthright and fulfill your destiny will ultimately hinge to a significant degree on your ability to shed all residual shame about your true nature. And guess what: There has never been a better time to work on that noble project than right now.
LIBRA
Sept. 23-Oct. 22:
Your theme for the week comes from travel writer Stephen Graham in his book The Gentle Art of Tramping: “As you sit on the hillside, or lie prone under the trees of the forest, or sprawl wet-legged on the shingly beach of a mountain stream, the great door, that does not look like a door, opens.” I can’t wait to see the expression on your face when a portal like that appears for you sometime in the near future, Libra. I expect your mood will be a mix of surprise, humility, vindication, joy and a pleasant kind of shock. By the way, you won’t necessarily have to be out in nature in order to become aware of the opening door. But it will probably be crucial for
Boulder Weekly
you to simulate the state that nature evokes in you. That’s why I suggest you rev up your aptitude for innocence and make sure your sense of wonder is turned on full blast.
SCORPIO Oct. 23-Nov. 21:
More than a 100 years ago, a team of British adventurers led by Ernest Shackleton trekked across Antarctica, attempting to reach the South Pole. They ran out of supplies and had to turn back before reaching their goal. In 2006, modern-day explorers discovered a cache of stuff Shackleton had been forced to leave behind, stashed in the ice. It included two cases of whiskey. Some of the century-old liquor found its way back to England, where it was quaffed by a few daring souls eager for an exotic taste. I suspect you may soon stumble upon a metaphorically similar curiosity, Scorpio: something like old spirits preserved in ice. My advice: Try a small sample and wait a while to see what effect it has before imbibing the whole thing.
SAGITTARIUS Nov. 22-Dec. 21:
Punk musician Wesley Willis was fond of greeting friends and audience members alike with a headbutt. So prolific was he in employing this ritual that he developed a permanent callus on his forehead. Now would be an excellent time for you to make this tradition your own, Sagittarius. Just think of all the affection you’ll generate and all the great conversations you’ll stimulate by ramming people! JUST KIDDING! I was exaggerating a bit. It’s true that now is an excellent time to ramp up your friendliness and expand your social reach. But you probably shouldn’t engage in fulltilt headbutting unless you’re extroverted, gregarious and so extravagantly charming you can get away with it.
CAPRICORN Dec. 22-Jan. 19:
In Japan you can buy Vaam, a sports energy drink that contains hornet saliva. It acquired a legendary reputation after Japanese marathon runner Naoko Takahashi said she used it to propel herself to a gold medal at the 2000 Olympics. Vaam’s creator, biochemist Takashi Abe, claims there is scientific evidence that it works as well for humans as it does for wasps, which fly as much as 70 miles a day. According to my reading of the astrological omens, the cosmos will be infusing you with a metaphorical version of hornet saliva in the coming weeks, Capricorn. You’ll have the power to go further and be stronger for longer periods of time.
AQUARIUS Jan. 20-Feb. 18:
I gathered together a panel of renegade astrologers to investigate your imminent future. By a unanimous vote, they designated you, out of all the signs of the zodiac, as the one “Most Likely to Exceed the Boring Limitations of Good Taste,” as well as “Best Candidate to Slap the Conventional Wisdom Upside the Head.” That sounds fun. I hope you make good use of the freedom that those roles entail. By the way, the general consensus also suggested that you are primed to find valuable stuff in out-of-the-way borderlands or in off-limits haunts where no one else even wants to look.
PISCES
Feb. 19-March 20:
You’re on course for a warm, wet, soft collision with the enigmas of the libido. I urge you to give yourself fully to the exploration, even if it stirs up feelings you have no names for. In my opinion, the best way to use your intelligence right now is to undertake a rigorous investigation into the heights and depths of your passion, to experiment with new guidelines for your instinctual nature, to make yourself extra receptive to the spiritual teachings available through erotic communion.
Spacious Presence www.spaciouspresence.org

SO WHEN IS THAT SECOND COMING THING HAPPENING? When you grow tired of waiting for the end of the world or to see Jesus show up in the clouds with trumpets blaring and all that, come and see us. We believe the Second Coming happened a while ago. We believe the Lord came again within His Word by sharing with the world the deeper or spiritual meaning of His Word (the Bible). In this deeper meaning we learn many beautiful truths about God, salvation, eternal life, how to grow spiritually, etc. It is quite thrilling to dig into the Word and see these powerful teachings within. At the New Church we are not waiting for anything, we are just busy living, loving and enjoying life. Come and see this hopeful new view that the Lord has shared. It’s pretty awesome!
