We can end intolerance This letter is in response to the racially motivated incident of violence that took place in the early morning of Sept. 18, in which an African student who attends CU-Boulder was called racist names, told to go back to his country of origin and then assaulted, causing him physical harm. This horrific act, enacted out of hate, intolerance and lack of education, happened right here in our community: the most “educated city in the country,” Boulder, Colorado. Many people reading this might be thinking, “What control do I have over the actions of one ignorant person?” The answer is that we all have the power and obligation to affect the social climate of the community in which we live. It is the responsibility of us all to continue to condemn incidents such as these and to fight every day to educate each other and our children about the importance of community, tolerance and the legacies of power and privilege that perpetuate a climate of intolerance, both in our homes and in our schools. This letter comes from a grassroots community organization called the Bias Incident Hotline Project. We exist because incidents such as the one that happened on Sept. 18 occur all too often and are just the tip of the ice berg. Incidents reach a violent level because of a general climate of intolerance and privilege that exists in every community, including Boulder. They also cause a

ripple effect, affecting every member of the targeted community and other communities that regularly experience bias and hate, whether in forms of violence or in more subtle forms like dismissive looks or being followed in a store. We would like to compliment the university in condemning this act as quickly as they did. We also believe it

would be beneficial to hear from Chancellor DiStefano (and the City of Boulder) about proactive actions the university (and the city) plan to take to ensure that the entire Boulder community is truly safe and welcoming for everyone. Finally, we want the victim and community members affected by this

The Highroad

Hey, Bucko — stop whining about this sour economy, and start thinking about the plight of others. For example: arms dealers. You’ve probably paid no attention to the hard fact that the global recession caused worldwide arms sales to plummet by 8.5 percent last year, pinching the profits of U.S. weapons pushers. The only saving grace in this downbeat news is that America’s glorious arms industry did retain its position as the number one supplier of weapons to the world. We still control nearly 40 percent of the global market, with Russia a distant second. But before you set off a mess of fireworks in celebration, note that U.S. sales in 2009 were down by more than $15 billion from the previous year. On the upside, the developing world is still in a buying mood! Last year, such emerging nations as Brazil, Venezuela, Iraq, India and Vietnam poured

by Jim Hightower billions into purchases of military playthings that go “Boom!” Again, U.S. dealers were the big winners, controlling a third of the arms trade in this robust market. The greatest news for American purveyors of killing machines, however, is Iran. This rising Mideast power has spooked the U.S. and Israel, so, in the vague hope of countering Iran’s growing punch, the White House and Congress are

about to OK a blockbuster sale to the monarchial rulers of Saudi Arabia. Some $90-billion-worth of top-line fighter jets, helicopters, naval armaments and other sophisticated war machinery would go to the Saudis — the largest single sale of U.S. arms ever. The theory is that (somehow or other, maybe, possibly, sometime in the future) this escalation of military testosterone in the explosive Mideast might produce harmony. Good luck with that.

Curious about letters Just curious: I’ve always considered the Weekly a compelling source of provocative issues, with article topics having either a local focus or at least being of local interest, given our political demographics and education level. Plus Boulder Weekly readers I know just like to debate stuff. So I’m wondering why there seems to be an upward trend in the number of letters to the editor chosen for the print publication from out-of-state sources. This week I’m looking at seven of nine being from nonarea folks (including Breckenridge) and tons from the coasts. Are you really that short on local commentary? I’ll prompt my loudmouth opinionated friends to chime in, if so. I much prefer to read the LTEs when there’s a chance I’ll know the author. Plus, when I do, I know the context that person has to their opinion, and that adds perspective. Keep up the great work, love the topics you guys choose to tackle. You’re the vanguard of the new media paradigm, I support you 100 percent. Dan Powers/Boulder

What color is that kettle? Qwest, headed for a merger with CenturyTel, has notified me that they are going to get more money from me soon. I received no prior notice about this, and I certainly never heard that the Public Utilities Commission was in on the “decision.” If I’m going to pay more, don’t you think I should get more? It’s interesting to hear Republicans and Tea Partiers rail about ObamaCare; they say no one should get any help with health care that he/she has not earned. Well, what color is that kettle? I tried to ask Qwest for some reasoning or justification, but I tired of being on hold, waiting for 24 minutes to talk to my friend in Mumbai. Maybe CenturyTel will hire more (American) customer-service people. If you believe that, then I’m switching to the GOP. Gregory Iwan/Longmont

Saying aloha to hula Boulder just had its first ever Aloha Festival; dancers and musicians came 6 September 23, 2010

from as far away as Maui, Utah and New Mexico, and locally within the state of Colorado. It was a well-attended festival with plenty of things to do and see and buy. It was an extension of the CU/UH football game on Sept. 18 at Folsom Field. Aloha! This is a word that has about five inches of meaning in the Hawaiian dictionary. But the truth in the word and the use has been severely abused by most non-Hawaiians, by many Hawaiians who don’t understand it, and sometimes by those uneducated in Hawaiian customs. When you watch a hula dancer, you can tell the difference between one who really knows what is the true meaning of that specific Hula and one who is just dancing to be pretty. The true dancer has his or her heart and their very guts showing in the face, eyes and the body. Hula and Aloha are not just a place to be pretty and to show off, but a place to express the Hawaiian way of life and of being. When I teach my students Hula, I teach them to feel it, to feel the soul of the words, to feel the pain or beauty of the Hawaiian native lifestyle and the history of their torment of 1893. This is part of Hawaiian Hula. It’s a culture and a lifestyle, a language, a 1,000-year history, and it is also an ancient religion based on four main gods and many lesser gods. The student must learn all this to really know Hawai’I and Hawaiian. One doesn’t have to subscribe to these gods and goddesses, but to respect them on behalf of the Hawaiian people. Miriam Pumehana Paisner/Boulder director, Halau Hula O Na Mauna Komohana

GOP is own worst enemy I am writing to express my concern and disappointment in the elected Republican state legislators who are endorsing a candidate of another party. As a Republican who has grown increasingly concerned over the direction of the party, I participated in the 2008 and 2010 Caucus process and then in both of the 2010 county and state assemblies, in addition to other work. I watched as requests for GOP volunteers turned into resentment that the new energy in the party was not properly fitting the mold. This especially concerns me since the “mold” has grown to act too much like the opposition, which has, in turn, plunged headlong into a progressive departure from our state and U.S. constitutions with socialist, Marxist, and tyrannical tendencies. Across the country, Republican races are turning toward true conservatives and to those who are much closer to that than many the GOP has favored. see LETTERS Page 9

The devil and Lenin in Delaware

by Paul Danish

hristine O’Donnell, the woman who just won the Republican nomination for U.S. senator in Delaware, wants you to know that while she experimented with witchcraft in high school, she has since moved on. “I was in high school,” she said. “How many of you didn’t hang out with questionable folks in high school? But no, there’s been no witchcraft since,” she said, shrugging off her dalliances with the dark arts. What prompted the comment was the release last week of a tape of Ms. O’Donnell’s 1999 appearance on Bill Maher’s Politically Incorrect show in which she averred that she had “dabbled into witchcraft.” But “I never joined a coven,” she added brightly. During the same appearance she said she’d had a date with a witch; they went to a movie and then had a picnic on a satanic altar. I can’t believe I’m writing this with a straight face. But wait. There is more news from Delaware. O’Donnell’s Democratic opponent is Chris Coons, a county commissioner. Commissioner Coons appears to have indulged in a bit of youthful experimentation of his own. Back when he was a student at Amherst he wrote an article for the student paper titled “Chris Coons: The making of a bearded Marxist.” Granted, judging by the quotes

from the article on The Politico website, it seems the article was really about his conversion from a conservative Republican who had campaigned for Reagan in 1980 to a bearded Democrat, not a bearded Marxist. Still, it’s the thought that counts. Moreover, no one in the press appears to have thought to have asked him if he had ever joined the Communist Party — the Marxist equivalent of a coven — or any other Marxist organization. The joint revelations raise a host of further questions as well, such as whether Joe Biden is really a straight man. Here are some of the others Delaware voters will have to answer before Nov. 2. 1. When it comes to youthful experimentation, which is more dangerous to yourself and to society: experimenting with witchcraft or experimenting with Marxism? (Hint: Over the past 100 years Marxists have killed about 100 million people. Witches can’t hold a bell, book or candle to them.) 2. Which is more dangerous: youthful experimentation with Marxism, witchcraft or pot? (Compare and contrast.) 3) If elected U.S. senator, is Christine O’Donnell more likely to bring Satanist views to the office than Chris Coons is to bring Marxist views to the office, or vice versa? 4) Which would be the more catchy campaign song: “The Internationale” or Hank Williams’ medley of “Satan is see WITCHCRAFT Page 8

Now he is trying to use Christine O’Donnell’s appearance on his show against her. In view of this, which phrase best describes Bill Maher: a) towering hypocrite or b) flaming asshole. For extra credit: Should Christine O’Donnell’s high school sweetheart cut out Bill Maher’s heart with a sacrificial knife and eat it? Would this act be considered politically correct or politically incorrect? Discuss.

“[Democrats] have had the White House for 21 months and they haven’t dug us out of the hole we left — so put us back in.” —Former President Bill Clinton, describing the Republicans’ reason for why they should prevail in the elections this fall “When the guy who told 300 million Americans there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq says you’re lying, he knows what he’s talking about.” —Comedian Jay Leno, referring to Karl Rove’s claim that Delaware Tea Party candidate Christine O’Donnell is a liar “They were ready to demonstrate their desire for peace and denuclearization.” —Former President Jimmy Carter, regarding his recent meeting with North Korean officials and their willingness to resume discussions on nuclear disarmament Boulder Weekly

LETTERS from Page 6

It has been refreshing to see the return to the values and principles that make the party great. But inertia and entrenched power can work against improvements in any system. So, what do we find but a member of the old guard jumping ship to join a fringe group with less than 1 percent of registered Colorado voters, with even less than a quarter the number of Libertarians in the state. Then, while that, in and of itself, looks exceedingly strange, numerous “Republicans” are charging over the cliff with him, including State Sen. Ted Harvey, State Sen. Greg Brophy, State Sen. Josh Penry, State Rep. Spencer Swalm, State Rep. Marsha Looper and State Rep. Steve King. I fully agree with the head of the Pikes Peak-area 9/12 group that “as these elected officials are displaying no loyalty to party, the party must take action. Committee chairmanships should be denied. If they can not be trusted to stand by the party, they can not be trusted to execute leadership in important committees.” Not only have they smeared egg all over the face of the Colorado GOP, they are directly contributing to the election of Democrat John Hickenlooper, with the future ramifications in the state Supreme Court, the post-census redistricting, the illegal immigration debacle and upcoming legislation. Many of us have trusted the GOP to uphold our values. Many of us have awakened to the fact that if you want something done right, you probably ought to get in there yourself and work to improve the system. Do not dismiss us, as some are trying to do. If you watch those who are attacked the most by the left, you will see who it is that frightens them the most. In respect for the Grand Old Party, I urge you to contact these legislators and ask them to reconsider our great state’s future. Actions have consequences. Janice McLain/Colorado Springs

wildlife officers advised in advance about this series of sermons featuring caged wild animals? If it’s not a violation of zoning or animal welfare regulations, shouldn’t it be? With the recent Jungle Island tiger escape, we’ve seen how quickly things can go wrong — dangerously wrong! Please put an end to the use of exotic animals as stage props. It presents an unnecessary danger to the public and is a cruel life for animals who do not deserve this type of life in captivity. The king of beasts has been relegated to nothing more than an animal transported around

for people to gawk at, which is shameful! Even though Florida accounts for only 6 percent of the national population, it accounts for 12 percent of the 602 reported incidents of killings, maulings and escapes since 1990. Other states that have passed bans on breeding dangerous exotics have seen these numbers drop dramatically, some to zero. There are not enough inspectors to guarantee that even minimal standards of care are being met or that the public is properly safeguarded. It is time for the USDA and FWC to step up and insure public safety and

animal welfare by banning breeding of big cats - period! Nina Vollmer/Lakewood

What’s with the animals? I am concerned about the “Wild” series of sermons that Flamingo Road Church in Cooper City, Fla., is presenting. I was shocked to see that, with a full congregation in attendance, an adult, 500-pound caged male lion was wheeled onto the pulpit. This lion was pacing back and forth during the entire service, which caused the cage to move and rock. There was no barricade of any kind around the cage, only a man seated on a chair beside the caged animal. A video clip can be seen online. It is very disturbing that this type of display is being allowed in a church setting. As I understand it, the next planned event will be using pythons as symbolic of original sin.

Boulder bus routes: There’s an app for that by Mitchell Byars

inding your way through Boulder by bus can be a daunting task for anybody. One University of Colorado student is trying to change that. Junior Zack Shapiro is the designer of an iPhone and iPod Touch application that he thinks will make the RTD bus system more accessible. The application, called Beeline RTD, lists bus times, routes and stops for all of RTD’s lines, including the Buff Bus. It has a map function that plots out routes and stops. It also finds the stops closest to you. In addition to providing information on the buses, the app receives RTD and GO Boulder news and updates, and lets users give feedback that is fed directly to RTD. “I want to break down the barrier and the friction between the commuter and the bus,” says Shapiro, a journalism media studies major. “If you’ve never ridden the bus, you’ve got to find a stop, find the right bus, and you’ve got to find schedules. This app presents it really cleanly and effectively. RTD’s website is a nightmare. This app is fast, easy information in exactly the way you expect it, so you don’t need to learn how to use the app. It’s all intuitive.” Shapiro also says he hopes the app will encourage people to save paper by not printing out bus schedules or maps every time they decide to catch the bus. Shapiro says the idea for the app, which is the second he has released through an application company he started in April called 59thirty, came from a computer science project he did two years ago when he created an application called RTD Bus Times. As an out-of-state student from Baltimore with no car, he often rode the bus. “The buses I took the most were the AB and the B, and I thought, ‘What if I put those schedules in your pocket?’” Shapiro says. “So it was originally designed for out-ofstate freshmen at CU.”

That first app saw more than 1,200 purchases through the Apple app store, but Shapiro noticed a lot of comments asking him to expand the app beyond the AB and B lines. “People kept asking me, ‘Where’s my bus? Where’s the Skip? Where’s the Bound? Where’s the 209?’ I internalized all the feedback and used that to create Beeline.” He began working on Beeline RTD in October 2009, and it went into development in May. The application is currently available for iPhones and for the iPod Touch, and will become available for the iPad later this year. Shapiro says the app has received great reviews in the Apple App Store, where Beeline RTD is available for $2.99 in the navigation section. “We have a couple of reviews in the app store about how people who were never bus riders before have downloaded this and used it to ride the bus for the first time to work or school,” Shapiro says. “Some people have cool stories about how it makes the buses more accessible, and they’ve recommended it to co-workers.” While Shapiro says he hopes to create more applications through his company, he is currently focused on improving and marketing Beeline RTD. He is still planning to add features, including arrival times and showing where bus lines overlap to make transfers easier. Ultimately, Shapiro hopes his application will encourage people to ride the bus to make their lives easier and help the environment. “Ideally what I would like everyone to do is take the bus more often,” Shapiro says. “If you’re just heading down Broadway — you live on the Hill and you’re headed to Pearl Street — catch the Skip, don’t ride in your car. Don’t drive to Denver; spend the extra 20 minutes and take the bus. To do your little part is a big thing, and I hope Beeline can be the bridge between people and their little part.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com Boulder Weekly

The spooky truth Whether or not he’s a racist, Robert Plant certainly ought to know what it’s OK to call an ethnic group and what simply doesn’t fly. Apparently, he doesn’t though. The Led Zeppelin front man, on a recent taping of the Today show, mentioned rather matter-of-factly that he was influenced early on by lots of American sounds, including the oft-overlooked genre known as “spook music.” For those of you who either have lived a charmed life or simply don’t travel in racist circles, “spook” is a rather offensive term for black people. “Spook music,” then, would be R&B or blues. And it’s not just that Plant used the term, it’s how easily it rolled off his tongue. Clearly it’s a term he’s used with some regularity. Several of us at Boulder Weekly are veteran music journalists and we have to admit, even though we’ve encountered plenty of racists over the years, we’ve never heard the term “spook music.” Since Led Zeppelin pretty much modeled its music on American blues, the whole mess is even more disappointing. Plant owes black people a big apology. We say he be forced to write his next record without using any black American musical influences. We’re guessing it would be an abomination and a joke, much like Plant has apparently become.

Time for a refresher course in sexism, boys We thought by now everyone has gotten this through their thick skulls, but judging by the actions of the New York Jets, there’s still a sizable population of meatheads out there. At a recent practice, Ines Sainz of the Mexican network TV Azteca was treated in a way that could best be described as borderline assault. At the very least, the players’ and even the coach’s hooting and hollering amounts to sexual harassment. Sainz, of course, was extremely embarrassed by the team’s childish antics but, being a true professional, she continued on with her interviews. Now there are those who say she brought this treatment on herself by dressing like a whore and using her sweet bod to flirtatiously gain access to her sources, but that is the tired old argument that has been used to blame female rape victims for years. Men try to absolve themselves of responsibility by saying the woman brought it on herself by dressing that way, or by walking down that dark alley, or by flirting after a few drinks. So for anyone who has missed the past 50 years of social discourse, here are the rules: Even if a woman is dressed seductively, calls herself “the hottest sports reporter in Mexico,” and waltzes about clearly reveling in the knowledge that she has been blessed with Goddess-like good looks and what has been described as a perfect ass, it’s still not OK to harass her. Get your shit together, Jets. Since you haven’t won a Super Bowl since 1968, maybe you should be concentrating on your football skills instead of the media covering your practices. Freedom of speech? Not in this town, sister Cardiac nurse Miriam Leverington made a poor choice when she told Colorado Springs police officer Duaine Peters, “I hope you are not ever my patient.” The statement cost Leverington her job, because Peters told the woman’s employer he felt threatened by the statement. Wouldn’t it have been considerably more creepy if Leverington had said, “I sure hope you’re one of my patients one day,” while wringing her hands and smiling wickedly? There’s nothing more sickening than someone in a position of power using that power to hurt someone just because he can, and Peters’ actions definitely fall into that category. Leverington got off easy, though. Now that it’s clear Colorado Springs police officers can get whatever they want, it won’t be long before they are beating the piss out of anyone that contests a ticket. Good thing there’s a good cardiac nurse in the area. Oh, wait … Boulder Weekly

2050 timelines. And I was feeling overall a deep sense of despair over the fate of the world and what kind of future we’re leaving our children.” It was then that a vague, life-long dream returned to him. Instead of feeling sorry for himself and for the movement he’d nursed along like a sick friend, Weis was reinvigorated to get off his ass and do something, even something a little crazy, to get the people of the United States as invigorated about renewable energy as he was. “I decided I could not spend one more day sitting in front of my computer with everything collapsing around us,” says Weis. “We’re in a crisis, but we’re not acting like it. We’re out of time, and I just can’t sit still anymore. So I shut down my consulting gigs, moved out of my apartment, put what little I own in storage and walked out my front door to ride across the country and tell the American people what’s going on.” Weis, an avid but by no means extraordinary cyclist, decided he would put his money where his mouth is and pedal around the country showing everyone he could, friend and foe, that there

The same goes with the two major political parties. This isn’t about whether you consider yourself an environmentalist, or a Republican or a Democrat. We all need clean air to breathe, fresh water to drink, healthy food to eat and a stable planet to live on.” To a lesser extent Weis is also out to confront what he sees as a political system hijacked by special interests and cash-induced apathy. “This is about taking back our power from unaccountable corporations who are running the show in D.C.,” says Weis. “Why President Obama himself hasn’t used the bully pulpit of the presidency to rally the American people around this issue utterly astounds me, but he still has time.

OWARDS THE END of 2009, Tom Weis was a man growing weary, watching the pre-Obama promises of a cleaner, more sustainable future slip away, bit by bit. As the enthusiasm brought on by the idea of a quick U-turn in energy policy was replaced by ever-deepening despair over the realization that even the most minimal environmental changes could be decades away, Weis’ life work as an activist and political organizer was beginning to look like grains of sand in a desert sea of apathy and opposition. “I’ve been a professional environmental and political organizer for the past two and a half decades,” says Weis. “I’ve worked in the halls of Congress as a congressional aide. I’ve worked on presidential campaigns as a field director. I’ve led organizations. I’ve gotten arrested trying to shut down Boulder’s coalfired power plant. And I had just devoted the past five years of my life unsuccessfully trying to galvanize the wind industry to step up and lead the green industrial revolution. I was sickened by the sorry excuses for climate bills coming out of Congress, with their ridiculous

New customers receive $15 off! Main Street America with a bold, exciting vision of what America can be.” Weis’ message is a simple one: 100 percent renewable energy for the United States by 2020. The realities of that goal are a bit murkier, especially considering some of the people who are supposed to be pushing Weis’ agenda are the ones muddying up the water. Weis calls Congress’s goal of 2050 too little too late. He wants to make ambition a bigger part of the discussion and says it’s exactly the kind of thing America is known for. “One-hundred percent by 2020 is an ambitious goal, to be sure, but no more audacious than Obama’s presidential campaign, and he’s now the president,” says Weis. “We have the technology. What’s lacking is the political will. The good news is there are precedents in the U.S. for this kind of massive and rapid economic conversion. During World War II, we initially resisted joining the war effort, but once we embraced our role, we turned the tide of that war in three and a half short years. This is America. We can do this.” Since he’s riding across the country to promote a slightly futuristic idea of energy production, Weis thought it best to make the trip in something a little more eye-catching than an ordinary bicycle. Enter the German-built Go-One Rocket Trike, a stable, threewheeled bicycle with an electrical assist motor contained inside a hand-crafted, carbon fiber shell that looks like the cockpit of a fighter jet. It’s not the cheapest way to pedal cross-country (Weis said his cost about what you’d expect to pay for a nice used car), but it does the job Weis needs it to do. “The reason I picked this particular trike, even though I had to liquidate my retirement fund to buy it, is I needed something that was going to capture people’s imaginations to build interest in the 100 Percent By 2020 goal,” says Weis. “It represents human ingenuity, it’s a conversation starter, it’s cool, and it’s fun. People smile when they see it. Saving civilization is going to be a big job, but there’s no reason why it can’t also be fun. Who wants to be part of a depressing cause? It’s time to bring some joy back into the planetary protection movement.” That movement, Weis says, needs more than just the usual suspects to succeed. Ordinary Americans, he says, can make a big difference in the energy debate, and getting them on board is a critical part of his trip. “That’s why I’m riding through Middle America and Appalachia to push this 100 percent by 2020 goal,” says Weis. “I’ll be visiting major wind projects, solar projects, coal plants, nuclear plants and lending my support to the brave activists fighting mountaintop removal mining in Appalachia. I’m ridBoulder Weekly

ing across the country so I can connect with the American people one-on-one.” Weis is the first to admit that his chosen path is one wrought with adversity. Along with the conversion of the car-loving masses and the monumental task of reorienting energy policy, there is also the small matter of actually pedaling about 2,000 miles through 10 states. Boulder, of course, is filled with people that could make such a trip with, if not ease, minor difficulty. Weis, by his own admission, is not one of those people. “I’m no Boulder elite athlete,” says Weis. “I’m just a middle-aged guy who’s had it with Washington, D.C., and wants to see real change. I biked through most of the winter and trained this spring and early summer, … but focused training ultimately gave way to planning and preparations, as I’m doing this project without any organizational support. So I honestly don’t know how well I’ll do.” Still, he’s confident he’ll be able to hit his goal of riding 60 to 80 miles each day, through sheer force of will if necessary. “In addition to the internal visioning I do, I just try to keep my eyes on the prize,” says Weis. “Whenever things get tough, and there have been plenty of difficult moments over the past seven months, I just remind myself of the urgency of the situation. Ideally, I could have used another six months to adequately prepare, but we’re running out of time to address this crisis.” And address the crisis he will. Once he arrives in Washington, D.C., Weis plans to meet with any and every political figure he can to spread his mantra of renewable energy. He also has an online petition he hopes to present to anyone who can make a difference. “I try not to have expectations, because they can limit outcomes, but I want the online petition to make the social media rounds and go viral,” says Weis. “I don’t have a specific number of signers in mind. I just want to show Congress and the White House that we, the people, mean business and demand and expect action from them on a huge scale. When I get to Washington, D.C., I plan to invite as many supporters as want to join me for a press conference at the White House, and the U.S. House and Senate office buildings, to deliver our petition.” Weis says he hopes to meet with as many members of Congress as possible and even President Obama. After that he’ll return to Colorado by train, with no solid plans. “I have no idea what I will do when this is all over,” says Weis. “I just know it’s something I need to do, so I’m going for it.” To sign the online petition and to follow Weis’ travels visit http://rideforrenewables.com.

Part III of a five-part series on undocumented immigrants in Boulder County

Two local women share glimpse of life after the crossing

t’s not easy to find undocumented workers who will agree to be interviewed for a newspaper article. And the more xenophobia spreads, the greater the reluctance by undocumented Hispanics to come forward and share the pragmatic realities of their lives. The fear of deportation is rampant. In 2008, almost 359,000 immigrants were removed from the United States, according to the Department of Homeland Security. That’s 18,000 more than in 1980. Two women, who want to be referred to only as Magdalena and Jovita, spoke to Boulder Weekly about their lives as undocumented immigrants. Jovita would respond only in writing. Magdalena and Jovita are friends who live, work and have small families in Boulder County. They hail from different parts of Mexico, and both decided to take a chance on crossing the border in pursuit of what moves humans all over the world to take serious risks: hope. Predators here and there In her hometown of Guadalajara, Magdalena was one of nine children. Her family owned and operated a small grocery store that barely made enough money to pay the rent and feed the family. On two occasions, bullies decked out with guns and testosterone tied the family members up in their small bathroom and robbed them of their supplies and what little cash they had in the store. They were forced to close the store, leaving the parents, seven sisters and two brothers without jobs and with plenty of debt. With the blessing of her father and the prompting of a pregnant cousin, Magdalena decided to cross the border at the first opportunity and head to California, where both women had relatives. The trip took two weeks. The price was $2,000 per person for the “coyote” fee, which her cousin lent her. She was moved to and from various houses, slipping in and out of vehicles led by strangers. There were two early-morning attempts to cross, while patrol cars on both sides of the border cruised the area. She dodged helicopters with bright lights and men with loud voices warning them not to cross. “It took digging a hole in the dirt that separated the two countries,” says Magdalena. “We had to 14 September 23, 2010

by Ana Arias crawl through this nasty hole on our backs twice, because we would have been caught if we had crawled out the first time. It seemed like an eternity to me. I didn’t think that tunnel I was crawling through would ever end.” According to Magdalena, once on the U.S. side, they ran in a dirt/sand mixture that gave them no traction. “There were barking dogs; we had to run through people’s yards and over or around fences to avoid running in the streets so we wouldn’t get caught,” she says. “The first town we came upon, we ran to this yard. And my pregnant cousin had to plead with a man who came out with a bat not to hurt us four women and the coyote for taking refuge in his backyard. She explained to him that we were very needy and begged him not to hurt us.” The man didn’t seem to understand their Spanish too well, and he went back inside. Magdalena and her small group spent the early, dark morning hours huddled in that yard, cold, hungry, dazed and uncertain about how, when and by whom they’d be picked up and delivered someplace safe. Eventually she arrived in California, where she wasn’t particularly welcomed by a number of cousins who didn’t want Anglos to call the cops because more Latinos were congregating in the neighborhood. Jovita’s journey to the border, on the other hand, was outright brutal. What happened to Jovita, says Magdalena, is something that has happened to many of her other friends when they get to Mexico while migrating from places like Chile and Guatemala. Born in Zacatecas, Jovita was encouraged to make the crossing by her three brothers, who lived in the United States and sent money home to the family. Her brothers sent money to one of their friends to get her across the border. She was picked up and taken to a house where 30 other people were awaiting passage. When she got there, she was told that they’d take her to the border that very night. “But it wasn’t like that,” she writes. “That night the man took me to a hotel and raped me, [and] not only once.” After two days with no word from her, her brothers called the man who had been paid to take her across the border, the man who raped her for two days. He lied and told them that he had already

gotten her across the border. A woman who cleaned rooms in the hotel where Jovita had been taken helped her escape when the abusive man left the room to go buy food. The woman took Jovita to her house, and the woman’s daughter, who was headed for California, helped her cross to the States. “We walked in the desert without stopping for a full day,” writes Jovita. “At night we rested by some bushes. I remember that it was very cold, and I was so thirsty.” The next day they came across more people who were lost because the “coyote” who helped them cross the border took off when a patrol car at the border saw them. They ran and hid so they wouldn’t be taken back. “After that all of us were lost for three days, wandering in the desert without water,” she says. “Two guys killed some turtles, and they cooked them in their shells. They smelled horribly. I remember I didn’t eat any. There were women in our group who were lactating and had babies. There was a boy, and the children kept asking for water and food and were crying the whole time. Finally we arrived at a highway, I was shaking, thinking that I didn’t want them to take me back [to Mexico] after everything I had gone through. “Finally a van with a family drove by, and they stopped,” Jovita continues. “The man driving was from Michoacan, Mexico, and he told us he would help us. So we all ran and jumped into his van and finally, feeling safe, we arrived at a house; it was very humble. The women, we helped with the cooking; they were the best potato tacos I’ve ever eaten in my entire life. From there, we left in small groups of two and three at a time, as [we were able to make contact] with our families, who were waiting for us in particular places. I first arrived in San Francisco, where my brothers live, who, by the way, were furious; not for the money they paid him but for the damage he caused me, after I told them he had abused me.” Land of opportunity Magdalena spent five years in California before she moved to Colorado. She learned quickly that to get a job, she needed a social security card and a green card. She needed money to survive and to help pay for the family’s debts. She bought a fake social security number and Boulder Weekly

Results of mountain transit study out Boulder County recently asked residents, commuters and recreational users of its mountain towns to provide thoughts on potential mountain transit service serving their communities. Nearly 500 responses to the survey were collected from July 14 to Aug. 15. Among the key findings were that service frequency, hours and stop locations of potential bus service are the most important ridership criteria for new transit service. The results also show that almost 90 percent of the respondents visit Boulder County recreation areas outside their community at least a few times a month; 54 percent do so at least once a week. Brainard Lake, Eldora Resort and the Hessie and Fourth of July trailheads were listed as the most desired locations for recreation-oriented transit service. Complete survey results are available at www.bouldercounty.org/ newsroom/articlefiles/2343-SurveyResults.pdf. Results from the survey are currently being used to create a transit system plan to be included in a Mountain Town Transit Feasibility Study report, which is expected to be completed in November.

green card for about $175. Her first job was working for a fast-food restaurant, where she got paid $6 an hour. Eventually she went to work for a cleaning company, where she was told she’d be paid $7 an hour but ended up only getting $5 an hour. “I felt so desperate, I needed five jobs to be able to send the money owed, plus the money I still owed to my cousin for the coyote,” she says. Eventually, she met and married an Anglo in California and got pregnant. The computer company her husband worked for closed its office there, but offered him a job in Colorado, so they moved and have been here for about four years. They live with their child in a small apartment, where they pay about $650 monthly. Magdalena works between 30 and 37 hours a week in a restaurant that pays her $10 an hour, with no health or vacation benefits. She likes the work and, while she says she thinks the owner and one of the managers treat her well, she also thinks one of the other managers is racist and slights her. She’s also noticed that an Anglo woman who started on the same day she did is being trained in other areas of the restaurant, and they’ve increased that woman’s pay by $4 an hour. Whenever she has asked about the possibility of being similarly trained, she’s told she’s still not ready. Magdelena aspires to one day become a documented citizen and is constantly afraid of the prospect of being deported. She has seen Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) take one undocumented immigrant away at the restaurant. And she’s fearful of being noticed by any police officer — the prospect of being deported and thus separated from her child is a constant worry. She pays taxes through work and files federal and state tax returns every year with her husband. One day she’d like to be able to attend a university where she can learn other languages. Jovita’s life in the land of opportunity has been more challenging. Her first job in the United States was watching a child, for which she was paid $5 a day. The Venezuelan parents of the child then told her she also had to clean their house for the same amount of money, and she did that for six months. When Jovita finally told the couple she was quitting they refused to pay her for that week. After she left that job, she enrolled in a class for adults and learned English. A woman who also

attended classes there offered her a job cleaning offices, and they both cleaned office buildings and learned English together. She then met an Anglo who told her he wanted to learn Spanish. They dated for a while, and she eventually got pregnant by him. Three months into her pregnancy, she learned that he was married with three children. When she confronted him in the supermarket with his wife, he told his wife he didn’t know Jovita, said he was incapable of going out with someone like her, and ridiculed her. When her son was born, she moved to Colorado. A friend invited her to move in with her, and that’s where she still lives. “My son is now 13 years old,” writes Jovita. “I have my own housecleaning business, and I speak English well. It’s not perfect like I’d like it to be, but now I can defend myself from people who make fun of me. But my son has also suffered a lot of discrimination in his school, not just from his classmates but also from some of his teachers, who think they’re superior. But I don’t keep quiet about it. I report injustices to the principal. “I don’t understand how people can say that we come to this country to take [Anglo] jobs when in the streets you find Anglos asking for money, and I wonder why,” Jovita says. “If they have government support and they’re taken care of, I think it’s unfair that those of us who work and don’t receive any such assistance are treated as if we’re vermin or criminals, like some people have told me.” In her free time, Jovita likes to go to the movies with her son, read, play and help at school functions. “I have taught my son that we’re all equal,” writes Jovita, “regardless of skin color or what language a person speaks.” Like Magdalena, she does most of her shopping at Walmart or where there are sales. “I try to help my son understand that money isn’t that important; in other words, that it doesn’t matter what brand of clothes or shoes his friends wear, they all cover them the same,” Jovita says. “I think often about giving my son a high level of education so that he may earn a better living than I do and so that he can help people. “I’d like for him to become a lawyer,” she concludes. “What interests me, and what I want to make of my life, is directly connected to his, as is the future of this country.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com September 23, 2010 15

Man accused of harassment after alleged peeping A Boulder man was arrested Monday, Sept. 20, for allegedly harassing a woman after sneaking up to her home and peeking in a sliding glass door while she was having sex with another man. The man had lived with the victim in the past, but was never romantically involved with her, according to the victim. The man allegedly told the woman and her partner that he was taking pictures of them having sex. He was arrested on two charges of harassment and two charges of thirddegree trespassing. Police identify two men in bias-motivated assault Boulder police have identified the two remaining men suspected of being involved in the bias-motivated assault that occurred at 2:28 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 18, at Broadway and Pleasant Street. Detectives have spoken to both men and are conducting line-ups and additional investigation before deciding whether charges will be filed against them. Another suspect, Joseph Owen Coy, 22, of Lafayette, was taken into custody on charges of bias-motivated crime, which is a felony, and obstruction. According to a police report, a 19-year-old CU student from Nigeria was walking near Broadway and Pleasant Street on Sept. 18 with a 23-year-old friend, who is also from Nigeria, when they heard voices behind them. The suspects allegedly used the n-word, called the victims monkeys and told them to go back to their country of origin, the report said. Coy is suspected of punching the student after a verbal altercation ensued, police said. Police arrest suspect in vehicle trespass involving fire evacuee Boulder police officers have arrested a transient wanted in connection with a vehicle trespass that occurred in the 2400 block of Bluff Street between the evening hours of Sept. 7 and the early morning hours of Sept. 8. The victim in the case was an evacuee from the Fourmile Canyon wildfire who was staying with a friend and had most of her belongings stored in her car. Police arrested Roger L. Kincaid, 45, on Sunday, Sept. 19, at a make-

shift campsite on the southwest corner of Folsom and South streets. Officers had been looking for Kincaid after recovering forensic evidence that allegedly linked him to the vehicle break-in, according to a police report. None of the victim’s stolen belongings have been recovered yet. Police investigate similarities in prowler reports Boulder police officers are investigating similarities in prowler reports coming in from neighborhoods in the northwestern part of the city. Since Aug. 29, police have responded to a number of prowlertype calls in the Dakota Ridge and Northbriar Estates neighborhoods. The incidents have occurred in the late evening hours and early morning hours between 10:45 p.m. and 5 a.m. The suspect in the Dakota Ridge and Northbriar Estates cases has been described as a white male, 19 to 22 years old, 5 feet 8 inches to 6 feet tall, thin, with short, light-colored hair. He was seen wearing khaki shorts and a short-sleeve T-shirt. The department had also issued a press release on Sept. 10 detailing five similar incidents that have occurred since May in neighborhoods east of Broadway, west of Folsom Street, south of Norwood Avenue and north of Spruce Street. The incidents occurred between noon and 4:30 a.m. on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. In three cases, the homes were occupied when an intruder entered them. The suspect in the previous cases has been described as a white male in his 20s, 6 feet 3 inches tall, with a thin build, wearing khaki shorts and a short-sleeved shirt. Members of the community are reminded to keep doors and windows locked and are encouraged to report any suspicious activity to police at 911 for emergencies, or 303-441-3333 for non-emergencies. Anyone with information about these crimes is asked to contact Det. Tom Dowd at 303-441-3385. Those who have information but wish to remain anonymous may contact the Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Boulder Weekly

Live free this weekend The University of Colorado at Boulder’s student-run Oasis group and CU’s counseling and psychological services department are hosting the second annual Live Free Weekend: 96-Hour Sobriety Challenge Sept. 23-27. The event challenges the CU-Boulder community — students, faculty and staff — to 96 hours of abstinence from alcohol and recreational drugs. Activities are being provided throughout the weekend to demonstrate how substance-abuse-free lifestyles can be fun, engaging and rewarding. “It has been really exciting to see students challenge each other and come together as a community to prove that college students are about more than beer pong,” said Corey Wiggins, health and safety director of CU Student Government. Among the events is the “Clear Heart, Clear Mind” gathering, hosted by the Center for Multicultural Affairs and CU Student Government, where attendees will learn about the various philanthropic and community service groups on campus. The event will be held from noon to 2 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 24, in the fifth-floor lounge of the University Memorial Center. Free frozen yogurt will be served. Also on Friday, a kickball match with freshman athletes will take place at Folsom Field from 4 to 5:30 p.m. There will be free pizza and soda along with Buffs tickets and gear giveaways. On Saturday, Sept. 25, volunteers are invited to participate in building approximately 400 feet of multiuse trail at the Betasso Preserve west of Boulder. Transportation and food will be provided. Registration is required, and details can be found at www.colorado.edu/vrc/GIVEADAY.htm. To sign the pledge and see a complete list of events, visit www.colorado. edu/livefreeweekend.

CU lands $6.7 million for sun mission A team from the University of Colorado at Boulder has been awarded $6.7 million from NASA to design, develop and test instruments for the fastest space probe ever built, one that will orbit 22 times closer to the sun than Earth and well inside the orbit of Mercury, to better understand how the sun ticks. The small-car-sized satellite known as Solar Probe Plus is slated for launch in 2018. The probe will take five years to reach its closest orbit of the sun — zipping to within four million miles of it — in a region that has never been visited by a spacecraft. The satellite will be equipped with a high-tech heat shield to protect it from the searing 2,550-degree temperatures. At its closest point to the sun, the spacecraft will be traveling at 400,000 miles per hour — more than 100 miles per second. The CU team will design and test key components of the electrical and magnetic field instruments, including the spacecraft’s antennas and the onboard signal and data processing hardware.

boulderganic Grant helps communities kick-start zero-waste efforts

oulder County is launching a nifty initiative that will help eight rural communities and townships, as well as a couple of rural homeowner associations have a chance to offer greater resource conservation opportunities to their constituents. Thanks to a zero-waste grant from the Department of Agriculture, residents of Allenspark, Lyons, Jamestown, Gold Hill, Nederland, Eldorado Springs, Eldora and Ward will benefit from technical assistance, education and outreach provided by a new part-time hire. Lisa Friend, a sustainability planner with the Boulder County commissioners office, says that while the “plains” communities such as the cities of Boulder, Longmont and Louisville have access to curbside recycling for things like mixed materials and composting on a regular basis, not every mountain community has those opportunities. Friend says that she’d love to be able to help make those opportunities happen for the residents of those communities — whether it’s to help them promote existing opportunities, look at new service options, consider new infrastructure or assess appropriate technology choices. She adds that new programs and sercvices will be determined by what each community

by Ana Arias

would find useful and the what is economically feasible for the haulers. In 2005, the county adopted an aggressive zero-waste resolution: to have 50 percent recycling by 2010, and zero waste, or “darn near,” by 2025. (At the moment, it’s estimated that the baseline diversion rate throughout the entire county stands at approximately 31 percent.) So what is meant by zero waste? According to the county’s draft Zero Waste Plan, “Zero Waste encompasses manufacturing, purchasing, reuse, recycling and composting of all the materials we use, with safe disposal as a last resort.” During the comment period for the Zero Waste Plan held earlier this year, the public made approximately 90 suggestions. With the assistance of the Resource Conservation

[events] Upcoming

boulderganic.com

Advisory Board, the recommendations were narrowed down to 28. It’s believed that these 28 recommendations will take most of Boulder County to a 70 percent diversion rate within the next 10 years. The additional 30 percent needed by 2025 still needs to be addressed. The draft Zero Waste Plan is expected to be presented to the county commissioners sometime this fall for adoption. Once the plan is approved by the commissioners, it will be presented to the municipalities of Boulder County on a cityby-city basis, in an effort to work with both staff and elected officials to gain their support and adoption. At that point, mountain municipalities and communities will be encouraged to choose the recommendations they feel would be most appropriate to implement in their towns; particularly in regards to incorporating bear-proofing, fire safety or water quality considerations that are unique to those communities. Currently, the state estimates that the average recycling rate of mountain communities is 12.5 percent or lower. The county would like to support and encourage these communities to double that rate, to 25 percent. Respond: letters@boulderweekly. com

ose Hill Drive almost dissolved 17 months ago, when members became disillusioned with the direction their career was taking. Now, they’ve added bassist Jimmy Stofer and they’re gearing up for a second run, reincarnated as a four-piece. But they came close to making their so-called hiatus permanent. Rose Hill Drive’s intense love of ’60s and ’70s rock and their stunning ability to channel their heroes on stage and in their songwriting gained them a lot of fans, both in their hometown and out, after they released their first album in 2006. Then a power trio, the three possessed the massive chops necessary to pound out outstandingly faithful reproductions of the classic rock influences they wore proudly on their sleeves. Their covers were so good that people at their shows across

the country would shout out Hendrix and Zeppelin songs at shows instead of the band’s original songs. Eventually, bassist/singer Jacob Sproul started to hate it. “We were going to quit. We were going to stop playing together,” Sproul says. The trouble began just months after they released their second album, Moon Is The New Earth, on July 24, 2008. They were touring, but they were restless. They had trapped themselves in a web of their own talent. Their stellar covers became the main attraction, Sproul says; the silhouettes of the rock gods whose music they loved had begun to overshadow their own. They played one final show on Dec. 31, 2008, and called it quits indefinitely. Appropriately, the band covered, start to finish, Led Zeppelin II. “We were just ready to be done at that point,” Sproul says. “We learned the tunes, and it was hard for us. It was just a self-fulfilling annoyance to me. ... Playing the Zeppelin show at the very end felt very appropriate to me, because it was like, I don’t want to do this anymore. I want to be myself; I don’t want to pretend to be some-

thing else.” For those not close to the band, the timing of the hiatus was puzzling, to say the least. It capped off a three-year stretch that saw the band open for The Who, The Black Crowes, Robert Randolph, Wilco, Queens of the Stone Age, Van Halen, Gov’t Mule and Aerosmith. The reviews for Moon Is The New Earth were generally positive. When critics say things like, “Rose Hill Drive have already played arenas as openers; one suspects it won’t be long before they return as headliners,” and “They don’t have their own ‘Immigrant Song’ yet, but they have the learning — and the will,” you’d think the band would have been able to buoy that praise into momentum of some sort. But for Rose Hill Drive, success didn’t come that easily. “We [were] on the road for a long time and, you know, just wanting to do certain things, and pushing and pushing and trying for these things that felt like they were so close yet so far away,” Sproul says. Burdened by the cover-band shackles, Rose Hill fell into creative doldrums. The band didn’t play another show until a year later, when they opened for Jane’s Addiction this past New Year’s Eve in Aspen. Looking to shake things up, the band reached out to Stofer — who had joined them on

Playing with those other bands, you just sort of sit in the back and chew your gum. I like being up front, I like being in the spotlight too.” Having Stofer in the band provided a creative spark, says Sproul, and in the nine months or so since the four started practicing together, the band has recorded and demoed 30 to 40 tracks, two of which they’ve posted online at www. rosehilldrive.wordpress.com. Sproul and Stofer wouldn’t say when the album will come out, but Stofer says the band is still trying to figure out the logistics. “The whole goal out of this was to pick the best 11 or 12 songs [out of the 30 or 40 demos] to put together in the album, and we’re still figuring out who we’re going to record with and where, and which tunes and stuff,” Stofer says. Regardless, the band has a renewed energy and a renewed drive to make music. Only time will tell if they end up happier than they were previously. Either way, the band has left the starting gates for a second time. We’ll have to wait and see how far they run before they finish. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

Local Natives stay restless by Matt Conner

ndy Hamm has no time to think. One thing he knows: This is a good thing. The whirlwind of tour dates and promotional appearances surrounding Hamm and his bandmates in Local Natives happens once or twice a year, when a buzz band rises above the here-today-gonetomorrow hype machine to sustain the momentum indefinitely. Rest assured, we’ll be hearing about them long after 2010. That’s because the L.A.-based folk-rock band conjures comparisons to indie heavyweights like Fleet Foxes, Arcade Fire, Grizzly Bear and Yeasayer, depending on the review. Their February debut, Gorilla Manor, scored high marks with critics and earned tour dates with Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and placements at Pitchfork Music Festival and Austin City Limits. In short, the swell continues to grow. that — to question and scrutinize every little aspect. “We haven’t really had any time in the last year to So it’s a good thing the busy schedule keeps the guys put any kind of perspective on it,” says Hamm, the from taking the time to breathe. band’s bassist. “I think it’s just one of those things where “We know that we’re busy and that’s a good we’ve just worked really hard at it and that we’re lucky thing,” laughs Hamm. “If we weren’t busy, that probato be where we’re at.

vous, at least according to Hamm, given the hometown audience. “We never really get nervous for shows,” he says. “I think the only time I do start feeling the nerves is when we come back from tours and play at home. The guys all have family or friends that show up. There are also the fans that have seen us since we first started as a band. Those are definitely the most intimidating people to play for, because they know the music, next to the band, the most. So there’s some nervousness and excitement that come with that. These are the two biggest shows of the tour kicking the whole thing off, so we hope we have all of the ducks in a line and have a good show.” For Hamm, the playing is the hardest part. He’s naturally drawn to the studio side of the musician’s life, so the relentless touring has been a bit difficult. Yet after this tour, the band plans to settle down and work on their followup. And he also knows that they’re lucky to have the audience that they do in such a short amount of time. “Touring has been a harder one for me personally,” Hamm explains. “I’ve always been very attracted to the music. Even bands that I’m a fan of, I’ve always been attracted to their music. So the performance side for me was sort of secondary. I always wanted to hear the music live, and so seeing someone jump up and down or go crazy was a secondary thing. “I think I’ve realized more and more the importance of one main thing: As long as you’re being honest, that’s what matters,” he continues. “I think people can sense that. If you’re up there putting on a show, and if I was jumping around, but inside my head I wasn’t feeling the show or felt miserable or whatever, people can sense that. It comes off as a gimmick. Whereas if I’m up there and we’re really into it, the crowd will be receptive there, and that makes you move. That’s when the performance clicks.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

Brace yourself for Stockhausen

f you are looking for a mind-blowing classical music experience, Boulder is the place to be next week. That is, unless you have been traveling to Europe to hear the music of Karlheinz Stockhausen. One of the most influential composers of the late 20th century, Stockhausen is virtually unknown in America — largely because his music is almost never performed here. But the CU College of Music is presenting a five-day Stockhausen Festival from Sept. 29 to Oct. 3 with three full concerts, including many of Stockhausen’s most influential pieces and some that have never been performed in the United States before. (See the list of concerts at right.) To meet the demands of Stockhausen’s challenging music, the festival will call on the Pendulum New Music Ensemble, faculty and students of the College of Music, guest artists from Europe, and, for Stockhausen’s electronic works, a massive surroundsound system that will be installed in the ATLAS Black Box Theater specifically for the festival. It is likely this will be the most Stockhausen presented at one time in the United States in a very long time. A leader of the post-war avant garde, Stockhausen embraced a dazzling variety of techniques, styles and forms. He wrote instrumental pieces of daunting difficulty and complexity, works that are almost mathematically

by Peter Alexander ences that you’ve never had before. That is really what we’re aiming for here.” Miller believes that Stockhausen already has a following in Boulder. “There are a lot of people here who came of age in the 1960s and ’70s [when] Stockhausen was all the rage,” Miller says. “Also, Stockhausen made a number of visits to Boulder and Denver, and many people remember the lectures that he gave.” Then there are people who are drawn to the spiritual aspects of Stockhausen’s music. Starting as a devout Catholic, Stockhausen was later influenced by The Urantia Book, an esoteric religious/philosophical text that attempts to place earth and humanity in a larger context, in both space and time. “There’s quite a following of The Urantia Book in Boulder,” Miller says, “and they’re very, very interested in Stockhausen’s connection with that text.” But it is the music that will bring the audiences into the concert halls. And Miller believes that the electronic music will be the biggest draw. “We have an opportunity to bring in a sound system the likes of which I don’t think we’ve ever seen here in the university. This is going to give us the ability to do these multi-channel surround-sound electronic pieces the way they were really meant to be done. “The sounds kind of move around you and through you in a way that probably most people have never experienced before. [Because] each channel

controlled, and works that allow performers so much freedom that every performance is different. He wrote intimate solo pieces and an opera that takes seven days to perform. And he took advantage of all the advances in technology to create stunning multichannel electronic soundscapes that have earned an enthusiastic following in Europe. Apart from a long list of concertmusic composers from the 1960s to the present day, Stockhausen has influenced musicians as diverse as Miles Davis, Pink Floyd and Björk. The Beatles put his photo on the Sgt. Pepper’s album cover. He even gets mentioned in novels by Philip K. Dick and Thomas Pynchon. Festival organizer Paul Miller, a CU music professor and Stockhausen expert, says, “Stockhausen’s music is very challenging to play and to understand. But the idea is to have experiColorado’s award-winning restaurant and music venue for adults of all ages. We can also host your business meeting or private event.

is treated independently, you get an effect that is so enthralling and so enveloping that it’s hard to describe. … It’s like going to an amusement park where you have never experienced this roller coaster before, and you strap yourself in and you go for a ride. “It’s also an experience of time in a different way. You can experience time very quickly [or] very slowly, you can experience flows in time, you can experience time stretched out to infinity, and those are things that Stockhausen’s music comes close to doing.” So be prepared for something you have never heard before. As Miller says, “It really is going to be wild for some of these pieces.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

Super spoofers

The Denver Center delivers a good evening of Hitchcock by Gary Zeidner

fter seeing The 39 Steps at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, I tried to recall all of the Hitchcock references the show contained. I counted no fewer than seven, and I’m almost certain I missed at least a handful more. Then, at the same moment that I was so impressed with the number and variety of those Easter eggs, I realized that unless one was at least 40 or so years old or was an unapologetic film buff, virtually every one of those Hitchcock shout outs would be lost. Time and tide, eh? My musings on mortality aside, let me be absolutely clear that even if you are an 18-year-old who has never seen a movie in your life, you will laugh your ass off at The 39 Steps. From Richard Hannay’s (Sam Gregory) first droll introduction in front of the still-drawn curtain to the last time that same curtain rises for the absurdly sweet finale, this is a show that delivers the goods, carries them inside and puts them away in your pantry, and it does it all with a welcome, lopsided smile. The 39 Steps began as an adventure novel written by John Buchan in 1915. It introduced the world to Richard Hannay, a sophisticated gentleman of quick wit and boundless energy who used brains as much as brawn to outmatch his foes and overcome the odds. In a way, Hannay is at least the spiritual greatgrandfather of many other top tier action heroes, from James Bond to John McClane. In 1935, Alfred Hitchcock adapted and produced The 39 Steps for the screen. Other, lesser film ver-

sions followed over the years. Then, in 2008, The 39 Steps got a Broadway makeover. Rather than play it straight, as in the book and prior films, the Broadway version turned this taught tale of preWorld War II international espionage into a joyous spoof of itself and its idiom. The 39 Steps as a comedy wowed critics and audiences alike and earned six Tony Awards — including Best Play — along with three Drama Desk honors. As usual, the Denver Center Theatre Company takes exceptional material and produces it exceptionally. The 39 Steps is, without a doubt, one of the funniest plays I’ve seen in years. Walking out of the Ricketson Theatre, I felt like a kid who has just ridden his first roller coaster and wants nothing more than to get back in line to do it again. The copious

On the Bill

The 39 Steps plays through Nov. 14 at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, 14th and Curtis in Downtown Denver. Tickets start at $34. For tickets or information, call 303893-4100 or visit www.denvercenter.org.

laughs come strong and steady in this perfectly paced parody. Hannay’s harrowing ordeal — during which he must clear his name of false murder charges and thwart a ring of nogoodniks bent on bringing England to its knees — takes him from London to Scotland and back again. He interacts with dozens of characters ranging from paper boys to nonagenarians. Amazingly, all of the characters in The 39 Steps are played by just four actors. (Ok, four actors and one purposefully obvious stuntman.) As mentioned above, the inimitable Sam Gregory plays Hannay. Every other character comes to life thanks to Victoria Mack, Rob Nagle and Larry Paulsen. (You might guess that Mack is charged with acting every female character, but both Nagle and Paulsen get bewigged and bebosommed as well.) So many characters from so few actors in so little time requires costume changes faster than a rascal’s hand up a prom dress. At times, one character disappears and another appears so quickly that it almost defies logic. The 39 Steps has something for everyone. Hitchcock fans get a new take on a beloved classic as well as all those juicy references to the master’s other works. Film noir buffs can enjoy a live action take on what they mostly only ever see on screen. And everyone likes to laugh, right? So, anyone else, young to old, cinephile to philistine will leave the theatre happy. If laughter were cowbell, even Christopher Walken’s prescription would be filled by The 39 Steps.

The meet market

by Dr. Jenni Skyler

or hundreds of years in some cultures partners met each other when walking down the aisle of their own arranged marriages. Nowadays, people meet well before marriage and in a variety of venues. Joseph met Anne during orientation week at college. He was instantly attracted to her, but Anne had a boyfriend back home. They began a sweet friendship in chemistry class and began backpacking on weekends. Anne’s longdistance relationship eventually disintegrated, and her friendship with Joseph started to ignite. They shared a kiss one evening over a campfire and became insatiably inseparable ever since. Steven met Roman online at OKCupid.com. Steven’s profile said he wanted a man between 30 and 39 who liked cats, sarcasm, snowboarding, bluegrass music and meditation. Roman fit the bill perfectly, and two years later they were married at the top of Vail Mountain, snowboards in hand. Lorrie met Don, Daniel, Edward, Peter, Sean, Bill, Mark and Jesse at a speed-dating event. She spent eight minutes with each man before being shuttled on to the next. At the end of the evening, she chose Peter, who luckily also chose her. The event coordinators e-mailed the pair each other’s phone number and they dated for the subsequent seven months. Nat met Erica at a small Shabbat dinner at a friend’s house. They shared the same circle of friends, but had yet to meet each other until their friend Paul set them up. Knowing Nat already came with a sound recommendation, she was open to taking an evening stroll with him after dinner. Seven years later, they are still taking evening strolls. Sally met Sarah on Facebook. They used to date back in college in the ’70s, but recently found each other again on the popular social media site. Sarah had a work trip to San Francisco, where Sally was living, and the two met up in Chinatown for dinner and drinks. Now, Chinatown is a monthly tradition Sarah flies in for. Today, more than 10 million singles employ electronic technology to meet, whether by online dating or to find groups and events to meet other singles. The booming industry of online dating has yielded more than 1,400 virtual bars and many a marriage. Partners-tobe can streamline the process of meetBoulder Weekly

ing people with shared values and interests by perusing pages upon pages of profiles. While online dating can save time, many complain that the constant rummaging rules out potential candidates too quickly, not allowing enough time to let the magnets do their magic before impulsively window-shopping to the next profile. As local couples’ therapist Ben Cohen points out, “People can get into a consumer mentality to meet as many people as possible.” However, those opposed to online dating don’t have to sweat being single. We still meet partners in bars and parties, in classes, at dinners through friends of friends, at the gym, on the Mesa Trail, at in-person speed dating events, through matchmaking services like Just For Lunch, or through Meetup.com, where people find groups and events with like interests. And then there are those who don’t have to sweat being single because they prefer the solo lifestyle. The Quirkyalone movement, started by Sasha Cagen, highlights those who prefer to be single rather than settle. Cagen states, “Quirkyalone (or choosing to stay single) isn’t so much about being alone as it is about connection: with yourself and others. … It’s about developing comfort with aloneness and recognizing that comfort is crucial to being with someone else.” These people enjoy being single, but are open to relationships with the right person. But whether we date the right person, or the right person for now, meeting a future partner can be an art. Some hunt in the wilderness, some prefer to shop in the meat market at the kosher deli, and some prefer to sit down at Southern Sun for a delectable veggie burger. What kind of meat or where you shop does not matter. If you meet the right person, the meal never gets old. Joseph still sings Jack Johnson songs to Anne 10 years later. “Do you remember when we first met? I was crazy about you then, and now the craziest thing of all is over 10 years have gone by and you’re still mine.” Ultimately, it’s about the connections we create.

A preview of the 2010-11 ski season by Isaac Woods Stokes

ou know ski season is on when you are standing in Boulder Ski Deals at 9 a.m. on a Saturday in September — soaked in sweat because it’s already 80 degrees, the town permeated with a campfire aroma — and the line is out the door. And the reason that you’re there at 9 a.m. on a Saturday (or anywhere at 9 a.m. on a weekend other than a biz that purveys coffee) is that your 4-year-old son is beyond amped on picking up his first pair of skis. “Are they ready today?” “No.” Tears. Repeat for six days straight. Ah, that’s my boy. Folks get religion early in Colorado when it comes to downhill sliding.

Skiing is seductive enough, the classic Cloudveil commercial featuring the prototypical ski bum handing over his resume — 2009/Dishwasher/ Jackson Hole, 2008/Dishwasher/Alta, 2007/Dishwasher/Mammoth — captures it, but every year the resorts of Colorado make it that much more difficult to focus on gainful employment. The lame-o economy has actually added even more seductive deals to the buffet. Let’s peruse the goods. Copper Mountain and Winter Park/Mary Jane are offering the $469 Rocky Mountain Super Pass Plus until Oct. 17. This pass gives skiers and riders unlimited skiing at Copper and Winter Park/Mary Jane, as well as six unrestricted days at Steamboat and 20 Friends and Family $59 discounted lift tickets. Do the math —

the day tickets at the Boat alone are worth the price. Then figure in the bad-ass bumps of “bring the pain” Mary Jane and the cat-skiing backcountry access on Tucker Mountain at Copper, and it merits a major Wayne’s World “schwing.” I-70 is pretty much the Antichrist in Colorado (providing for the needs of the people, but denying ultimate salvation. I wish it were an exaggeration but it ain’t) and the sooner you get off the pain train the better. Enter Loveland — proximate, diverse and featuring free parking. Kudos. Loveland’s season pass now gives skiers and riders three free days at Monarch Mountain and Purgatory at Durango Mountain Resort, one free day at Silverton, and a 10 percent discount on food and retail at

Loveland’s unrestricted four-pack tickets are also available at last year’s rate of $119 ($109 if purchased at a Front Range ski show) and can be used on separate days or all at once with friends and family. Get ready to slap their ubiquitous bumper sticker on your Suby. Wolf Creek, always the first resort to torture you with an e-mail featuring blower powder shots (waterboarding would be easier for your average ski bum to endure) has marked down its early purchase price for an unlimited season pass to $574 from $718, and that is available from Sept. 25 through Oct. 3. Wolfie is a must, must visit for the uninitiated. Yes, it’s in Colorado — way down toward Pagosa Springs (yes that’s in Colorado too).

Maybe the Echodemic is just starting, but it’s hard to argue with lift tickets that are good for 12 hours — ’til 9 p.m. — on Mondays and on Wednesday through Saturday. Plus, the location is less than an hour from most of greater Denver, and it has a terrain park and a feature-centric layout. Definitely a little guy with soul. Always loving on the local, Eldora’s season pass is available for $399 ($389 for a renewal pass) and includes unrestricted alpine skiing as well as the option to add five days at Steamboat for $149. Passes can be purchased online any time at www. eldora.com and at the resort after Oct. 4. Eldora’s tree skiing is one of the best-kept secrets in ski country, and the lift-accessed backcountry is epic. You didn’t hear that from me; I don’t want the Ned mafia showing up at Casa Stokes. The XC center (access included with a pass) is an awesome option and workout for those frosty days, and the setup for kids’ skiing is unmatched, with close-in parking and a spacious lodge.

f you spend time wandering and wondering in the fitness center, pick up Marco Borges’ new book Power Moves. Bring it to the gym. Use it at home. It’s a fantastic tool that can be used anywhere and by anyone who wants to take control of their health. To Borges, an exercise physiologist, the only machine you really need for an effective workout is your own body. Instead of focusing on specific muscles, Borges’ innovative program hinges on four joints — the shoulder, elbow, hip and knee. All the exercises in the book — the “power moves”— stem from the simple movements of these four joints. Though Borges has made his name training professional athletes and celebrities, Power Moves is simple and accessible. Borges is convinced that once you get hooked on the four motions, you’ll become more conscious of what you’re eating and drinking. “Your health is the one area — perhaps the only area — of your life in which you are almost completely in control of the results,” he wrote. “You are in the driver’s seat.” His book, then, is a handy road map that shows readers how to combine resistance training with cardio and how to make better nutritional choices. He advocates yoga, adapting exercises to keep them interesting and fun, and staying consistent. Borges’ breaks his strength-training programs into three main catego-

ries: “No Excuses,” “Maintain/Stay in the Game,” and “The Warrior Workout.” The “No Excuses” program — 11 exercises using your own body weight — is designed for those who don’t know where to start, are short on time, frequently travel, don’t have access to equipment or have some other excuse. It can be adapted by adding a resistance band or adding hand weights. For those who want to bump things up a notch, the Maintain/ Stay-in the-Game sequence adds toys: medicine balls, resistance bands, Swiss and Bosu balls and weights. It’s great for those who want to start losing weight, who exercise daily, who are comfortable around weights and machines and who have a little more time, Borges said. Finally, athletes or those who consider working out a priority can try the two “Warrior Workouts.” The “Try This!” section includes four extra-challenging moves — including my favorite, “the medicine ball sit-up and stand,” that can be added to any sequence. So far, my biggest problem has been finding time to try all the different exercises. But what I like most is that Borges’ philosophy makes sense. Strength training is not about trying to lose weight or building big muscles. It’s about harnessing the empowering value of exercise. His book is an excellent way to start.

Sailing the seas of local cheese

ne of Boulder County’s best-kept secrets may be its small but growing cheese-crafting industry. Varying widely in flavors, forms and textures, local dairy farms are producing cheese with the same passion and creativity that one might expect from French cheese dairies and varieties. According to Samm White, co-owner of Cheese Importers in Longmont, four basic elements are needed to create cheese: a milk source, heat, a turning motion and rennet, a natural enzyme complex produced in any mammalian stomach to digest the mother’s milk. Cheese combines proteins and fat from milk, usually derived from cows, goats or sheep. “We use different cultures for different cheese, and we heat it up to induce separation,” White says. Traditionally, the milk is acidified, and the addition of rennet causes coagulation. “When the cheese curds, you can leave the curd or take it out, depending on what variety of cheese you’re making,” White says. The solids are usually separated and pressed into a final mold. Cheese Importers, a family-owned distribution company, helps small cheese-producing farms promote their products. “Our big focus is giving local farms and cheese producers a market and helping the cheese world grow in the United States,” White says. “Our quality rivals French counterparts, and if we’re able to produce the same thing locally and more sustainably, we should do that.” The majority of Cheese Importers’ varieties are produced at three Colorado locations: Sunny Breeze Farm in Craig, MouCo Cheese Company in Fort

by Heather May Koski

Collins and Haystack Mountain Goat Dairy in Longmont. White says no less than 350 cheese varieties are present at Cheese Importers and available for sampling any time of the year. “We get a lot of really special, unique ones during the holidays, and then numbers increase between 450 and 500 varieties,” he says. Although Cheese Importers doesn’t offer wine with their samples, they make many recommendations and work with various local wineries, as well as local restaurants, natural grocers, co-ops and neighborhood buying clubs. “We distribute to Frasca, Lucky’s Market, Pasta Jay’s, Jalino’s Pizza, Laudisio and The Med,” White says. “The Flagstaff House uses us exclusively for their cheeseboard.” White says goat and sheep cheese varieties are the biggest growing category and that there are options for people with digestive intolerances.

“The lactose, fat and sugar molecules found in cheese are typically what people have trouble digesting,” he says. “We have great, flavorful cheeses that are palatable for lactose-intolerant people, such as our harder, aged cheese.” Haystack Mountain Goat Dairy, one of Cheese Importers’ primary cheese producers, contributes to the growing interest in goat cheese varieties. Joanna Byrd, a Haystack retail associate, says the first cheese was made on founder Jim Schott’s farm in 1992, and the Longmont location opened in 2004. “The Longmont creamery is where we still produce cheese, however all our milk is now outsourced, mostly from the Cañon City state penitentiary, who we have worked with for years when the farm became too small to produce the amount of milk needed for production,” Bryd says. Bryd says more than 700 goats in Cañon City produce the milk that creates their six flavors of chevre, three raw milk cheeses and several surface-ripened cheeses. “Chevre is the most widely known and made of the fresh cheeses,” she says. Haystack doesn’t offer farm or production tours, but its cheese is sold at many different local distributors, wholesalers, restaurants and farmer’s markets, as well as nationwide. One such local restaurant is Boulder’s new downtown arrival, Absinthe House. Located where the Foundry used to be, Absinthe House claims to offer the largest selection of genuine absinthe of any bar in North America and authentic European cuisine, complete with a vast variety of cheese. General Manager Sean Alcock says the restaurant offers 18 cheeses of domestic and imported see CHEESE Page 46

Awful everything by Roger Moore

he good news for Paul W.S. Anderson is that Uwe Boll, his only serious competition for worst moviemaker in the biz, has another BloodRayne movie on the way. The bad news is that Anderson has another Resident Evil movie in theaters. These two — a Brit and a German — will fight their World War II of the Worst until somebody stops them. Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D begins just past the finale of the last film and ends with a cliffhanger. They’re not even pretending to wrap up this video game adaptation of a post-zombie apocalypse world. It’ll go on until Milla Jovovich puts her kids through college. Alice ( Jovovich) is still stalking the evil Umbrella Corp., the folks who created the virus that made her super-strong and everybody else the Living Dead. Wesker (Shawn Roberts) is an Umbrella executive who never takes off his sunglasses; he’s seen Val Kilmer in Top Gun a few too many times. Alice shoots up his latest headquarters in Tokyo in the film’s opening moments. Then she sets out to find the refugees she packed off to Arcadia, Alaska. Alice narrates her quest into a camcorder as she flies over the Great White North. She finds only one survivor, Claire (Ali Larter). And that sends them

both to Los Angeles, where another tiny group is holding out against the undead. It’s a tribute to Anderson’s genius that he throws these survivors (Boris Kodjoe, Kim Coates, Kacey Barnfield and others) into a prison. Because it’s L.A., he makes one of them an actor and another a producer. Then he shows us the last inmate there. Darned if it isn’t Wentworth Miller from TV’s Prison Break. No doubt Anderson thought he looked at home behind bars. But it’s still a humorless movie of morphing zom-

bies, phoned-in performances and trite dialogue. “You can’t help him,” they say when one of their number is picked off. “We have to move on.” Jovovich can act, as she proves in the October drama Stone. She used to give her all in Resident Evil movies. She still wears the leather jumpsuit with style, but she no longer runs as if her life depends on it. That’s a problem with the film. Characters saunter through deadly situations as if they know there’s a cliffhanger coming. No sense breaking a sweat. And Anderson lets them. Even as legions of Umbrella minion troopers are hurled into combat, Anderson stages and shoots their scramble like a walk-through at the first day of rehearsals. The 3-D is mainly used to hurl shell casings into the audience. In the World’s Worst Wars, it’s advantage Anderson. Boll’s BloodRayne: The Third Reich is on its way, but there will always be another Resident Evil to top it, unless Anderson’s dreaded take on The Three Musketeers (also starring Jovovich) ends that debate for good.

Mastering the mob mentality

n 1997 Sicilian-born filmmaker Marco Amenta made an hour-long documentary about Rita Atria, the young woman who risked her life by ratting out various members of the Sicilian mob — including members of her own family — pulling the strings and the triggers in the village of Partanna. Now the filmmaker has revisited this heroine in a fictionalized feature film. Many of the names have been changed (including the name of the village) and the screenwriters, among them Sergio Donati, co-author of Sergio Leone’s Once Upon a Time in the West, pump the story full of standard-grade melodrama. Not to stoke any rivalries, but the movie’s no Gomorrah, the recent, excellent Italian crime drama ripped from the headlines made by the Neopolitan mob. The Sicilian Girl does, however, hold your interest. We meet Rita as a preteen full of love and respect for her father, one of the local dons. When this oldschool man of honor opts out of the extended family’s burgeoning drug trade, he’s marked for death, and death comes in the town square, with his wailing daughter smearing her Communion dress with his blood. Years later, when the now-teenage Rita and her brother learn who was behind the killing — Uncle Boulder Weekly

by Michael Phillips

Salvo, criminally sleazy — they vow vengeance. Certain individual compositions in The Sicilian Girl, photographed by Luca Bigazzi, capture the beauty and menace of the setting very well, such as a fixed shot, just after sundown, of seven Palermo police cars screeching to a halt in the eerily empty town square prior to a raid. Elsewhere, director Amenta exerts a less certain grip on the dramatic tone, allowing his actors the sort of scenery-chewing that belongs to a drama not based in anything like fact. In

an entirely different key, meantime, is French character man Gerard Jugnot, playing a Palermo prosecutor whom Rita, played by fledgling actress Veronica D’Agostino, pressures into action. Jugnot’s voice is dubbed, and, while this fact isn’t necessarily enough to thwart a performance’s impact (see Burt Lancaster in Visconti’s The Leopard for a glorious exception to the rule), it adds to a not-quite authenticity. Around the midpoint, as Rita enters the witness protection program and assumes a new identity in Rome, The Sicilian Girl becomes leaner and more effective in its storytelling. “This is your new past,” a Roman policeman tells her, as he slips her a sheaf of papers in the weeks prior to her testifying at a mob trial. “Learn it.” The film works very hard to turn Rita into not just a martyr but a saint. She was likely a more interesting and complicated person than the one we meet here. But there’s little doubt she had as much nerve as anybody she put away. —MCT, Tribune Media Service Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

The American As an assassin, Jack (George Clooney) is constantly on the move and always alone. After a job in Sweden ends more harshly than expected for this American abroad, Jack retreats to the Italian countryside. He relishes being away from death for a spell as he holes up in a small medieval town. While there, Jack takes an assignment to construct a weapon for a mysterious contact, Mathilde. Savoring the peaceful quietude he finds in the mountains of Abruzzo, Jack accepts the friendship of local priest Father Benedetto and pursues a torrid liaison with a beautiful woman, Clara. Jack and Clara’s time together evolves into a romance, one seemingly free of danger. But by stepping out of the shadows, Jack may be tempting fate. Rated R.

After gallantly making the repair, without a single word spoken, he

speeds off. Later in town, Vittorio learns that Kate has returned to join her family’s travelling circus after leaving under mysterious conditions many years ago. Intrigued by her story, Vittorio stays for the show, and the next one, and, little by little, is ingratiated into the circus and the lives of its performers.

This remake of a French farce has a lot of funny people going for it. In it, a wealthy businessman hosts a monthly soiree for which his employees must bring an idiot to dinner, and the best idiot wins. Tim (Paul Rudd) feels conflicted about this, but into his life (and off the front of his car) bounces a pluperfect dolt, played by Steve Carell. While cast members like Jemaine Clement and Zach Galifianakis play well, this schmucked-up American edition does the chortling for us and then scolds us for laughing. Or, in my case, not.

The story of a girl who gains a reputation as her high school’s No. 1 skank after her white lie about a boring weekend, Easy A is neither as smart nor as funny as it wants to be.

embraces her shame and the pretend shenanigans ensue. The movie is up-to-the-minute with text gossip and webcam narration, but a bit over the top. Rated PG-13. At Flatiron, Century, Colony Square and Twin Peaks. — Sheri Linden Eat, Pray, Love Ryan Murphy, creator of TV’s Glee and Nip/Tuck, directs this adaptation of Elizabeth Gilbert’s memoir about a woman (Julia Roberts) who realizes she is unfulfilled, divorces her husband and goes on a trip around the world. Rated PG-13. At Flatiron, Century, Colony Square and Twin Peaks. — Rene Rodriguez GasLand The largest domestic natural gas drilling boom in history has swept across the United States. The Halliburton-developed drilling technology of “fracking,” or hydraulic fracturing, has unlocked a “Saudia Arabia of natural gas” just beneath us. But is fracking safe? When filmmaker Josh Fox is asked to lease his land for drilling, he embarks on a cross-country odyssey uncovering a trail of secrets, lies and contamination. At Starz. — Denver Film Society Get Low For years, townsfolk have been terrified of the backwoods recluse known as Felix Bush (Robert Duvall). One day, Felix rides to town with a shotgun and a wad of cash, saying he wants to buy a funeral — a “living funeral,” in which anyone who ever had heard a story about him will come to tell it, while he takes it all in. Rated PG-13. At Esquire and Century. — Landmark Theatres The Girl Who Played With Fire Lisbeth Salander is a wanted woman. A researcher and a Millennium journalist about to expose the truth about the sex trade in Sweden are brutally murdered, and Salander’s prints are on the weapon. Her history of unpredictable and vengeful behavior makes her an official danger to society — but no one can find her anywhere. At Mayan. — Landmark Theatres Going the Distance This film tells the story of a recession-era long-distance relationship and its hurdles, complete with calculated sexual raunch (mostly verbal), something like a real-world setting and delightful lead actors. A&R rep Garrett (Justin Long) falls for newspaper intern Erin (Drew Barrymore), and their late-summer fling turns into a commuter relationship, kept alive by awkward phone sex and frequent-flier miles. Rated R. At Flatiron, Century, Colony Square and Twin Peaks. — Michael Phillips I’m Still Here The directorial debut of Oscar-nominated actor Casey Affleck, I’m Still Here is a striking portrayal of a tumultuous year in the life of internationally acclaimed actor Joaquin Phoenix. With remarkable access, I’m Still Here follows the Oscar nominee as he announces his retirement from a successful film career in the fall of 2008 and sets off to reinvent himself as a hip-hop musician. At Mayan and Starz. — Landmark Theatres Inception Blithely summarized, Inception’s plot would seem confusing and impenetrable. Confusing? No doubt, and that’s what makes the film so enjoyable, as we try to tease and puzzle out what is really going on. Impenetrable? Hardly. Simply put, mainstream moviemaking just doesn’t get any better than Inception. Rated PG-13. At Flatirons, Century, Colony Square and Twin Peaks. — Randy Myers

When the kids make contact with the donor behind the moms’ backs, Mark Ruffalo’s easygoing restaurateur Paul shows up to stir this family’s pot a bit. Bening and Moore have never been looser on screen, and Ruffalo is the perfect foil. Rated R. At Esquire abd Chez Artiste. — Michael Phillips The Last Exorcism This faux documentary offers up a squirmy tale of demonic possession. Director Daniel Stamm’s film follows Cotton Marcus, a charming huckster preacher who intends to show the film crew how the fake exorcism business works by taking the case of a distraught, hyper-religious Louisiana farmer who believes the devil has taken hold of his teenage daughter. While the wrapping-up feels obvious, for a good while The Last Exorcism makes for an atmospheric stab at movie fright night. Rated PG-13. At Century, Colony Square and Twin Peaks. — Robert Abele Let The Right One In Twelve-year-old Oskar, the constant target of bullies, spends his time plotting revenge and collecting news items about the grisly murders plaguing his town. But things change when he meets a new girl named Eli, a misfit vampire who steals his heart. As a serial killer continues to prey on teen boys in their small Swedish village, Eli helps Oskar find the courage to stand up to his tormenters. At Starz. — Denver Film Society Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole A young owl must gather a mythic band of winged warriors to fight an evil army and save the owl kingdom. With voices of Helen Mirren, Sam Neill, Geoffrey Rush, Jim Sturgess and Hugo Weaving. Rated PG. At Flatiron, Century, Colony Square and Twin Peaks. — Los Angeles Times/MCT Lovely, Still With the approach of Christmas causing him to feel lonely in life and love, Robert Malone braves the wintry snow to arrive home from his job at the grocery store only to find a stranger standing in his home. What begins as an odd and awkward encounter quickly blossoms into what appears to be a romantic late-life love affair that takes us on a heartfelt and wonderful journey which takes an unexpected turn. At Starz. — Denver Film Society Machete A loud, giddy, carnal blast from one of cinema’s most relentless schlock auteurs, Robert Rodriguez’s latest is best enjoyed with your brain switched off. Billed as a “Mexploitation” flick and doffing its sombrero to the likes of Coffy and Shaft, this over-thetop pastiche of Westerns, revenge thrillers, cultural stereotypes and soft-core porn will be catnip for those who flocked to Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino’s 2007 cult opus, Grindhouse. Rated R. At Colony Square, Century and Twin Peaks. — Preston Jones Mao’s Last Dancer From Academy Award-nominated director Bruce Beresford comes the inspiring true story of ballet dancer Li Cunxin and his extraordinary journey from a poverty-stricken boy in China to international stardom as a world-class dancer. Based on Li’s bestselling autobiography, Mao’s Last Dancer weaves a moving tale about the quest for freedom and the courage it takes to live your own life. At Chez Artiste. — Landmark Theatres

54 September 23, 2010

Mesrine, a loyal son and dedicated soldier back home in France and living with his parents after serving in the Algerian War. Soon he is seduced by the neon glamour of 1960s Paris and the easy money it presents. Mentored by Guido, Mesrine turns his back on middle-class law-abiding and soon moves swiftly up the criminal ladder. After pulling off an audacious heist, he and his lover Jeanne flee to Canada where the opportunity of one big payout lures him out of hiding. Directed by JeanFrançois Richet. At Mayan. — Landmark Theatres Mesrine: Public Enemy No. 1 Mesrine is now back in France, finally in police custody and facing justice for his crimes. After escaping a courtroom and kidnapping the judge at gunpoint, Mesrine is declared Public Enemy No. 1 and is eventually condemned to a maximum-security prison, where he writes his memoirs, establishing himself as a household name and the anti-hero across France. Mesrine stages another daring escape and disappears into the lawless underworld, taunting the police and reinventing himself as a celebrity criminal through his savvy manipulation of the media. At Mayan. — Landmark Theatres Nanny McPhee Returns A fine, fat hit in the U.K., this film transports us back to WWII-era rural England, where the farm belonging to the beleaguered Green family is on the brink. The three Green children are forced to play host to their snooty London cousins, all watched over by the supernatural presence of Nanny McPhee (Emma Thompson). Shenanigans ensue. At Century and Twin Peaks. — Michael Phillips Never Let Me Go In his highly acclaimed novel Never Let Me Go, Kazuo Ishiguro created a remarkable story of love, loss and hidden truths. Director Mark Romanek brings Ishiguro’s hauntingly poignant and emotional story to the screen. Kathy, Tommy and Ruth spend their childhood at Hailsham, a seemingly idyllic English boarding school. When they leave the shelter of the school and the terrible truth of their fate is revealed to them, they must also confront the deep feelings of love, jealousy and betrayal that threaten to pull them apart. At Esquire. — Landmark Theatres The Other Guys Two mismatched New York City detectives find themselves stepping into the limelight of the top cops they idolize. With Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg. Rated PG-13. At Twin Peaks. — Los Angeles Times/McClatchy Tribune Media Services Resident Evil: Afterlife See full review on Page 51. At Flatiron, Century, Colony Square and Twin Peaks. Restrepo Restrepo is a feature-length documentary that chronicles the deployment of a platoon of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan’s Korengal Valley. The movie focuses on a remote 15-man outpost, “Restrepo,” named after a platoon medic who was killed in action. This is an entirely experiential film: The cameras never leave the valley; there are no interviews with generals or diplomats. The only goal is to make viewers feel as if they have just been through a 94-minute deployment. At Century. — Landmark Theatres Scott Pilgrim vs. the World Meet charming and jobless Scott Pilgrim. A bass guitarist for garage band Sex Bob-omb, the 22-year-old has just met the girl of his dreams ... literally. The only catch to winning Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead)? Her seven evil exes are com-

ing to kill him. Genre-smashing filmmaker Edgar Wright (Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead) tells the amazing story of one romantic slacker’s quest to power up with love in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. At Starz. — Denver Film Society The Sicilian Girl See full review on Page 51. At Chez Artiste. The Switch This film is all over the place. Single and ready for a kid, TV producer Kassie (Jennifer Aniston) decides on artificial insemination. Her longtime friend and long-ago lover, Wally (Jason Bateman), does not get the nod. The title refers to a switcheroo that Wally pulls at the “insemination party,” substituting his own donation for the cause. Seven years later, Kassie’s son’s quirks appear to have more in common with Wally than the presumptive birth father. At Flatiron and Twin Peaks. — Michael Phillips. The Tillman Story Pat Tillman gave up his professional football career to join the Army Rangers in 2002 and became an instant symbol of patriotic fervor and unflinching duty. But the truth about Pat Tillman is far more complex, and ultimately more heroic, than the caricature created by the media. And when the government tried to turn his death into war propaganda, they took on the wrong family. At Mayan. — Landmark Theatres The Town

Worth seeing for its actors, The Town is violent but soft-hearted, and clearly digs the grungy allure of its Boston criminal world, where the bank robbers disguise themselves as ghoulish nuns. This is a one-lastjob movie. Doug angles to make one last score with the gang and go clean. Hot-headed Jem wants the heists to continue. Everything gets complicated when a hostage doesn’t recognize her captors and becomes involved with Doug. All in all, an enjoyable film, if a tad too long. Rated R. At Flatiron, Century, Colony Square and Twin Peaks. — Michael Phillips Vampires Suck A spoof of vampire-themed movies, where teenager Becca finds herself torn between two boys. Rated PG-13. At Flatiron, Colony Square and Twin Peaks. — Los Angeles Times/McClatchy-Tribune Information Services Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps Gordon Gekko is released from prison into a brave new financial world. Rated PG-13. At Flatiron, Century, Colony Square and Twin Peaks. — Los Angeles Times/MCT Winnebago Man

Winnebago Man reveals the story of Jack Rebney, who has delighted and fascinated millions of viewers with his hilariously foul-mouthed outtakes from an RV sales video — one of the first and most infamous underground videos to be passed hand-tohand on VHS tapes. The four-minute clip, edited together by the crew after a two-week shoot, sparked an international underground phenomenon. Filmmaker Ben Steinbauer takes on the seemingly impossible task of tracking down Rebney, who turns out to be more savvy, deep, weird and cool than anyone could have imagined. In short, he’s a star. At Chez Artiste. — Landmark Theatres

You Again High-school rivalries rear their ugly heads for a PR exec and her mother during her brother’s wedding. Rated PG. At Flatiron, Century, Colony Square and Twin Peaks. — Los Angeles Times/MCT

ing, and even rebelling against your image right now. Return to the source of your ever-evolving life energy.

Rightwing talk show host Rush Limbaugh is a person whose ideas and attitudes repel me. But in the dream I had last night, I enjoyed hanging out with him. He was affable and humorous. We had several fun adventures together. Here’s how I interpret the dream: It doesn’t necessarily mean that Limbaugh is a better human being than my bias allows me to imagine. Rather, I think I’m becoming more relaxed about people I disagree with. I’m less susceptible to being motivated by hatred. I’m able to maintain a live-and-let-live approach to things that used to knock me off center. You’re now set up for a similar shift, Aries. I hope you take advantage.

You have entered a phase in your astrological cycle when your best lessons will come from doing hard work. I mean that in the most literal way: intensifying your commitment to doing your job with maximum integrity and intelligence and excellence. But I also mean that you should concentrate on what needs fixing, refinement, and upkeep in other areas of your life. Could your best relationships use some tweaks that would pump up the collaborative energy? Would you consider making a course correction in your spiritual path? Is there any part of your rhythm that could use more discipline and organization?

GEMINI

May 21-June 20:

I’m getting excited to see what you’ll create in the coming weeks. You’re slipping into the most expressive groove you’ve been in for a while. I’m guessing that any minute now your imagination will start churning out a wealth of fresh perspectives and new approaches. Half-rotting problems that sat immobile for weeks or even months will begin morphing into opportunities as you zap them with your frisky grace. Misunderstandings that have festered far too long will get cleansed and salved by your tricky ingenuity. Get the party started!

CANCER June 21-July 22:

As I stood by the creek at dusk, the silhouette of a woman in a kayak came flowing my way. The last crease of the orange sun hovered on the horizon behind her. I spied the reflection of the planet Venus shimmering in the violet water before I saw it in the sky. The temperature was balmy. A translucent spider floated nearby at the end of an airborne silk strand. Nine geese in v-formation trumpeted as they soared overhead. When the woman got close enough for us to see each other’s faces, she addressed me. “We win!” she exclaimed jubilantly, then paddled onward. I agreed. We were basking in a great victory, paradise having temporarily descended into our midst. This is the kind of triumph I expect you’ll be capable of achieving several times over in the coming week.

LEO

July 23-Aug. 22:

Focus on what’s small and slippery, Leo. Turn your gaze away from what’s big and obvious. Exult in the salamander on the rock and a friend who has a new trick and the guilty pleasure you just discovered; excuse yourself from obsessing about the state of the economy, the meaning of life, and the clash between science and religion. Your pleasurable duty is to love what’s in the midst of changing, and not fixate on trying to make arrangements that will supposedly last forever. Don’t just grudgingly attend to the mercurial details; dive in as if playing with them were your central purpose.

VIRGO

Aug. 23-Sept. 22:

“Artists suffer for their work, but they don’t mind,” read the headline in the San Francisco Chronicle. The attached article featured brief interviews with five artists who all said they enjoy doing their creative work so much that they gladly put up with the privations it causes them. That’s the spirit I’d like you to embrace in the coming weeks, Virgo. See if you can immerse yourself in a labor of love with so much enthusiastic devotion that you drive away some of your aches and anxieties.

LIBRA

Sept. 23-Oct. 22:

Albert Einstein was extremely famous during his lifetime. Although he had no publicity machine promoting him, his face became an iconic symbol for genius. “Einstein” was, in effect, a brand name that made people think of creativity, wisdom, and imagination. There were times that bothered him. “I am no Einstein,” he said, preferring to be his raw self rather than the idol on a pedestal. I offer his example up to you, Libra. You can benefit from slipping away from, ignor-

Oct. 23-Nov. 21:

My proposed assignment for you would be fun, but it wouldn’t be easy. It would require you to dissolve at least one of your fixations, escape at least two of your habits, and override at least three of your dogmatic beliefs. I’ll completely understand if you’re not up for the challenge. But if you’re game, read the following excerpt of a poem by Pablo Neruda (translated by Alastair Reid), and incorporate its attitude into your daily rhythm. “I have a mind to confuse things, unite them, make them new-born, mix them up, undress them, until all light in the world has the oneness of the ocean, a generous, vast wholeness, a crackling, living fragrance.”

SAGITTARIUS Nov. 22-Dec. 21:

I love to listen to DJ Schmeejay on San Francisco radio station KUSF. Like a throwback to the Golden Age of FM radio in the 1970s, he plays a “visceral, cinematic” mix that delights you with a flow of unpredictable juxtapositions. Unlike some music experts who harbor haughty elitist prejudices, the dude is an open-minded aficionado. His playlist may include a psychedelic tune, flapper-jazz, a pretty pop song, a barbershop quartet, 1960s folk, polka, and trip-hop. He understands that good entertainment keeps you guessing about what’s going to come next. I urge you to borrow his approach as you cruise and schmooze in the coming weeks. Charm people with good surprises. Expand your bag of tricks, and use everything in it.

CAPRICORN Dec. 22-Jan. 19:

I’m not a big believer in the idea that dreams are prophetic. I’ve recorded thousands of my own dreams, and just three of them have foreshadowed waking life events that actually occurred. However, I have often found it valuable to regard my dreams as pointers on how to develop unripe aspects of myself. For example, when I was 19 I had a series of dreams suggesting that the best way to become a writer was simply to write at least three hours every day. I acted on those prompts, and they worked. I bring this to your attention, Capricorn, because it’s prime time for you to tap into your own dreams for tips on how to create your best possible future.

AQUARIUS Jan. 20-Feb. 18:

In his opening comments on an episode of his TV show, Stephen Colbert announced, “I have butterflies in my stomach. I just ate a cocoon quesadilla.” If I’m reading the omens correctly, you, too, will soon have fluttering sensations in your gut, but not because of your food choices. Rather, you’re likely to be quivery and atwitter due to encounters with the Great Unknown — arrivals from beyond the Wild Blue Yonder that will blow your mind and recalibrate your philosophy of life. Don’t worry. Your appointments with the numinous are likely to be stirring, even awe-inspiring, but not frightening. P.S.: You should celebrate the fact that you feel free enough to go exploring so far and wide.

PISCES

Feb. 19-March 20:

“If we wish to outline an architecture that conforms to the structure of our soul,” wrote Friedrich Nietzsche, “it would have to be conceived in the image of the labyrinth.” I take this to mean that clarity, assuredness, and single-mindedness are luxuries the ego may indulge in, but they are not the natural state of our deepest selves. Rather, at our cores, in the essential primal source that sustains us, we are complicated and meandering … mysterious and exploratory ... curious and questioning. In other words, it’s perfectly healthy to be in a labyrinthine state of mind. I hope this meditation helps you enjoy your upcoming Season of Soul.

A Safer Way To Medicate

Rather than burning the herb, which produces irritating, toxic, and carcinogenic by-products, a vaporizer heats the material in a vacuum so that the active compounds contained in the plant boil off into a vapor. The vapor contains virtually zero tar and is significantly lower in concentrations of noxious gasses such as carbon monoxide. We carry a full line of vaporizers from all major manufacturers.
