ing plants across the country. Currently, government inspectors — who’re professionally trained in food safety — are stationed along the processing lines in the factory operations of such giants as Tyson Foods. They examine the birds for diseases and visible defects, including — yes — contamination by feces. But the Obamacans have a “modernization” plan to remove these skilled, independent inspectors and let corporations police their own lines with untrained company hirelings. In addition, the privatization scheme would allow the poultry plants to speed up their lines to an absurd 175 birds per minute! To justify this, USDA notes that it has been running a pilot project on privatization in 20 chicken factories since 1999. Yes — but the “modernizers” did not mention that salmonella rates in the privatized plants were higher than those having government inspectors. Just as

alarming, of the poultry operations that failed the most recent salmonella tests, a disproportionate share were using the spiffy self-policing model. Worse, government inspectors who observed the corporate-controlled system report that when the company inspectors tried to be thorough about safety or even tried to remove diseased birds from the line, they were yelled at, reprimanded and shunned. This senseless rush to privatize is literally sickening. For more information and clean food alternatives, go to Food & Water Watch at www. FoodAndWaterWatch.org.

wrong this is. I am proud to live in Boulder and love the city and its people … including my amazingly kind friends without homes. Please understand being homeless is not a crime. I strongly believe that the people quoted that were in charge should be called to the carpet. They are obviously not professional enough to do their jobs. Let’s come together and make Boulder the kinder place. There is so much beauty and kindness here … let’s remember to keep it that way. Carah Rector/via Internet (Re: “Homeless turned away at Red Cross shelter,” News, Sept. 19.) Thanks so much for doing an article on the homeless this week. I wonder if you’ve thought about doing something similar on the Boulder Shelter for the Homeless. They have a nice big building up there that is way underused even during emergency conditions. I thought it was an emergency shelter. Sarah Hartzell/via Internet

Holes in the Waters tale

A Boulder resident since September 1974, I have noted a huge increase in the homeless population, particularly in the last few years, and a very effective series of countermeasures by city council, reflecting public resentment of the homeless and the public resources they consume! The Waters case seemed suspicious to me from the start, and I appreciated the lengthy exegesis in the previous BW [“Troubled Waters,” cover story,

Sept. 5]. One man attacking two with a knife seemed dangerous, and East Pearl Circle is miles beyond the normal range of Boulder beggars, mainly office buildings, one hotel. Both the Camera and BW failed to provide photos or drawings of the area, and, having walked it, the distance from Target, 18th and Pearl, and East Pearl Circle, about Old Pearl and 49th, is several miles, uphill, with no trails or sidewalks going the full route; I question how two impaired men, in darkness, could make this trip in 20 minutes, as Giampino claims, and suspect the round trip would be closer to two or three hours. The police seem to have acted in good faith, as did the DA and courts, and I suspect the motive was to “send a message” to a growing, dysfunctional, disruptive subculture. While I now see the homeless as a symbol of our economic and social contraction, I also feel the homeless and their many apologists, enablers and advocates (minus recently convicted Boulder Outreach for Homeless Overflow founder Jim Budd) could acknowledge a need for greater self-discipline, maturity, sobriety and civility by only a few hundred lost souls, whom I now see as a Lost Generation post-Great Recession! Mike Reade/Boulder

Tip your street performers

I was on the Pearl Street Mall the other day and had a very discouraged street performer vent to me about a few things. I have seen this street performer several times, and he is rather good at Boulder Weekly

letters LETTERS from Page 7

what he does. He does prefer, however, to remain nameless. He mentioned how frustrated he was as a hard-working individual who delights in sharing his talent with those that pass by and take pictures of him. While he does not want to be rude, those that are used to YouTube and getting free things all over forget that there are talented, skilled people who cannot provide a roof over their head when they fail to compensate for the video and picture they take. He mentioned that if he had a dollar, just a dollar for every picture that was taken it would be a decent wage at the end of the day. However, he struggles to pay for things currently. This performer mentioned to me that it is not just him that is frustrated with this. There are quite a few other street vendors that give their time and talents as well becoming discouraged by the end of the day. Part of the sparkle of Boulder drawing tourists and residents is the rich culture and space of the Pearl l Street Mall, where anyone can come and let their talents shine. Those that choose to share their talents, however, cannot legally ask for a set price for their talents. While they can ask for a suggested donation, many times those that come to the mall leave with photos, videos, enjoying time spent, without compensating the talented individuals. It is my hope that in sharing this story those who enjoy the Pearls of the Mall can consider some etiquette while on the mall and compensate those who share their talents, realizing that for many this is how they earn their living in life, and if you enjoy it, and value it, compensate it. Lexi Delplo/Boulder

Donating to ‘conservation’

While at the checkout counter at Cabela’s, I was asked if I would like to make an 82-cent donation to conservation. I asked where the money would go and what it would support. She pointed me to a list of companies on the board before the exit. Two of these organizations were the National Rifle Association (NRA) and the Congressional Sportsmen Foundation. Both of these organizations lobby Congress on behalf of the gun and ammunition manufacturers of this country, under the guise of protecting Americans’ Second Amendment rights. The Congressional Sportsmen Foundation opposes restrictions on high-capacity ammunition magazines, a ban on military-style AR-15 rifles Boulder Weekly

and the imprinting of bullets with traceable serial numbers to help solve crimes. The Congressional Sportsmen Foundation’s board has included top executives of Freedom Group, the largest American maker of firearms, and ATK, the country’s biggest producer of ammunition. In 2010, the foundation disclosed that its most generous donor in its history was the gun industry’s trade association. Many of the galas, banquets and Congressional shootouts hosted by the Congressional Sportsmen Foundation are sponsored by the NRA, Cabela’s, Wal-Mart, Georgia Pacific (Koch Brothers owned) among others. Are these organizations the new face of conservation? Foolishly I was thinking of organizations that would help to protect and preserve open space, clean water, clean air, etc. Sen. Christopher S. Murphy, a Democrat from Connecticut, said the NRA’s “association with the sportsmen’s foundation plays up this mythology that they speak for sportsmen when, increasingly they don’t. They represent views that help gun manufacturers.” If we follow the money and see who is financing these organizations, as well as organizations like the NRA that sponsor them, then we will know their true intent. Cabela’s has made their intent clear. Brian Litwin/Longmont

Natural disasters and pets

As the flash floods that engulfed Boulder attest, natural disasters often strike with little or no warning. That’s why it’s vital to make emergency plans now to protect all members of our families, including our animals. Animals are even less equipped to survive a disaster than we are, so it’s vital to never leave them behind in an evacuation. Before an emergency strikes, find places where you can stay with your animals if you must evacuate (friends, family and hotels are good options). Have an emergency kit ready to go so you can leave at a moment’s notice. Include leashes, bowls, towels, blankets, litter pans and litter, and at least a week’s supply of food and medications. Always keep animals current on vaccinations and ensure they wear collars with identification tags. If you have no choice but to leave animals behind, leave them indoors, with access to upper floors and at least 10 days’ worth of dry food and water (fill sinks and multiple containers). see LETTERS Page 11

Xcel Playing catch up? yeah right Really? Xcel felt so threatened by the formidable donations being raised in favor of municipalization that the utility behemoth felt compelled to donate $300,000 to the opposition? To even the playing field? Hogwash. We almost choked on our fracking fluid when we heard this one. We read with great interest in corporate daily brand X that Sierra Club’s $60,000 donation, local fundraising and crowd-sourcing from around the country was enough to make Xcel shake in its boots. It’s laughable that a company the size of Xcel, which is no doubt rolling tens of thousands, if not millions, of dollars into a high-powered legal team to fight the possibility of losing Boulder as one of its customers — setting a precedent that other cities might follow — is somehow playing catch-up with fundraisers for the opposition. We’re supposed to believe that Goliath is David? For all its futile efforts in recent months to separate itself from Voter Approval of Debt Limits, the main campaign against municipalization, denying that it had much to do with the formation of a ballot question that could stop municipalization in its tracks, Xcel has finally fessed up to what all of us knew a long time ago: This is a fundamental question about local control versus corporate profits. Granted, we still have questions about the city’s ability to efficiently run its own electrical utility, at least in the beginning during its learning curve, but most models indicate that sticking with a profit-driven monopoly is not better for the environment or even our pocketbook. So let’s follow the example of places like, wait for it, Boulder’s neighbor to the northeast, Longmont, which not only runs its own electrical utility but successfully overcame corporate money to gain voter approval for the use of its own fiber-optic network a couple of years back. Power to the people. Gosh darnit. We missed this week’s media tour of Boulder’s new Walmart. We got the press releases. We had it on our calendar. And then, for some reason, we let it slip through the cracks. Hey, don’t get us wrong. We keep an open mind. We listen to the wingnuts that call, email and write to us as closely as we do to the public relations hacks. But in this case, our mind was already made up. Even if this so-called “Neighborhood Market,” which we acknowledge is an admirable PR attempt at making this job-sucking leech sound like a valuable addition to our community, was selling bricks of gold for a buck apiece, we wouldn’t give it the time of day. Being one ourselves, we happen to value independent, locally owned businesses, and Walmart is the antithesis, if not the poisonous death knell, of such entities. For all its efforts to change its image, Walmart is still the purveyor of cheap — from low wages to shoddy goods that are bad for the environment, and our health. Hey kids, there’s a new place to buy GMO corn opening up at 30th and Iris! Talk about picking the wrong market to expand into. We refuse to buy into yet another corporation whose infiltration into our community will do little more than put our mom-and-pop operations out of business. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

All too often the result will be consolidations, plant closures and lost jobs for the people who helped build and sustain their companies for decades. “The boomers should think again: Selling to their employees is often a far better way to go — for both moral and economic reasons.” Alperovitz notes that “over the next 15 years retiring boomers could help create 2 to 4 million new worker-owned businesses nationwide.” The Rocky Mountain Employee Ownership Center is promoting this idea.

tem.” Toro adds that the length of the term being filled plays a role as well, noting that in this case voters will quickly have a say in the performance of the person who is appointed, whether at the primary or general election. “It’s only one legislative session, and then they have to face the voters,” he says. Kline may have the inside track anyway, since Levy has endorsed him, and her opinion will likely carry weight with the members of the vacancy committee. (She has a seat on the group as well.) Levy acknowledges that some members have told her they will vote the way that she does. “From who I know on the committee, I think a lot of them have indicated that they would follow my lead, and the fact that I’ve endorsed Tad would be influential in their decision,” she told BW. When asked how many members expressed that view, Levy replied, “Honestly, like three, but I’m just assuming that’s kind of typical.” She and other Democratic leaders defended Kline’s stance, saying it’s common for candidates to serve on the very vacancy committees that are in charge of appointing them. “Why would that be a conflict?” Levy asks. “I vote on my own bills all the time. I don’t think it is at all. You know, it’s a political process, and of course he supports himself. And of course, people who are on vacancy committees are politically active people.” She says a half-dozen members of the Colorado House were appointed instead of elected, and “I’d be surprised if at least one weren’t on their vacancy committee. How could you articulate the source of the conflict? The assumption would be, somehow, that you go into a vacancy committee impartial, like a judge, neutral, and most people don’t.” She and others point out that current Boulder County commissioners Deb Gardner and Cindy Domenico sat on the vacancy committees that chose them to fulfill the terms of Ben Pearlman and Tom Mayer, respectively. When contacted by BW, Gardner confirms that she served on the vacancy committee that appointed her, by virtue of her status as a state legislator, and that she voted for herself. She says she’s not aware of similar situations, and declines to comment further. “I am so staying out of that,” Gardner says. “It’s a minefield waiting to happen, so I don’t want to go there.” Most seem to agree with Toro that the degree to which there is a conflict

of interest depends largely on the number of people on the vacancy committee. After all, they point out, President Barack Obama was allowed to vote for himself. Gardner says the vacancy committee she sat on during her own appointment had more than 300 members. Dan Gould, chair of the Boulder County Democratic Party, acknowledges that it would be different if there were only five or six people on the committee, as was the case with one Republican appointment for the legislature a couple of years ago. “Typically our vacancy committees are very large,” he says. “We like to have as many people involved as possible.” Leing agrees that the bigger the committee, the less power one vote has. “Your vote gets diluted if it’s in a large group,” he says. When asked if it would make a difference if there were only three people on the vacancy committee and the applicant had the swing vote to break a tie, Levy says, “That would be a very happy situation for the person, whoever had the deciding vote.” But she disagrees that the size of the committee determines the degree to which there is an ethical dilemma. “There’s either a conflict or there isn’t a conflict,” Levy says, “and whether there’s a conflict doesn’t depend on the number of people voting.” She also says her decision to bow out early had nothing to do with helping her former campaign manager and legislative aide land her position. “There’s no way I’d give up being chair of the Joint Budget Committee and serving out my last term,” Levy says. “No, it’s really just because of the [new] job.” Leggere-Hickey, the vacancy committee chair, says the group has not yet decided on a meeting date to make the appointment, but it needs to be done in a 20-day window before Levy’s last day at the end of October, and the earlier the better, because if the meeting doesn’t attract a quorum, the group should reserve enough time to try again. If the vacancy committee doesn’t appoint someone before Levy’s last day, Gov. John Hickenlooper can make the call. “If this vacancy committee doesn’t appoint someone, then the governor gets to pick whoever he wants,” Kline says. “So instead of 35 people who have worked in the district for years and years and know the district, John Hickenlooper — one person — gets to do whatever he wants.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com Boulder Weekly

boulderganic Digging out from carbon dioxide emissions

New EPA rules on power plants only confirm energy industry’s move away from coal by Elizabeth Miller Courtesy of TinRoof Marketing and Design

n announcing the first carbon dioxide emissions standards for new coal-fired power plants on Friday, Sept. 20, the Environmental Protection Agency in some sense brought to a close a 10-year struggle by environmental groups to see the agency regulate carbon dioxide emissions. Power plants are the largest single contributor to carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Were the 100 power plants in the U.S. that emit the most carbon dioxide, two of which are in Colorado, replaced with zero emissions sources, carbon emissions for the nation would be reduced to 11 percent below 1990 levels. “Climate change is one of the most significant public health challenges of our time. By taking common-sense action to limit carbon pollution from new power plants, we can slow the effects of climate change and fulfill our obligation to ensure a safe and healthy environment for our children,” EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy said in a press release. “These standards will also spark the innovation we need to build the next generation of power plants, helping grow a more sustainable clean energy economy.” Eighty-four percent of U.S. greenhouse gas pollution is carbon dioxide, and power plants account for one third of all domestic greenhouse gas emissions, according to the EPA. The EPA

has previously limited the arsenic, mercury and lead pollution power plants can emit, but until the new standards, there were no national limits on the amount of carbon pollution new power plants could emit, according to the EPA. The proposal outlines standards that would limit large natural gas-fired turbines to 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide per megawatt-hour and coalfired units as well as small natural-gasfired turbines to 1,100 pounds of carbon dioxide per megawatt hour. It’s great, environmental activists say, but in some ways, it’s way behind. “I guess I kind of think of the rule that just happened as, when you figure out you’re in a hole, the first thing you should do is to stop digging,” says Travis Madsen, senior program manager for global warming solutions with Environment Colorado and co-author of a report recently released by the agency on pollution from power plants. “There really aren’t that many coal-fired power plants that are proposed for construction right now. A lot of that has to do with the fact that fracking has made cheap supply of natural gas readily available, so a lot of power companies have been building gas plants. And at the same time, renewable energy has been taking off at a rapid pace, especially wind and solar. So the practical impact of this rule, it’s mostly to give the power industry some certainty

about where they should invest their money in the future. … It’s hard to predict the future as far as how much emissions that this rule is actually going to prevent. Mostly, it’s a clear signal to the power industry that they have to take global warming into account when they’re making investments in the future and that’s really important.” Existing power plants produce on

average 2,180 pounds of carbon dioxide per megawatt hour, according to Environment Colorado, and some produce more than 3,000 pounds. The new rules could make it prohibitively expensive to build a coal-fired power plant. Any new coal-fired power plants would have to utilize carbon capture and sequestration technology, Madsen says.

by Boulder Weekly staff Sage grouse under Endangered Species Act review

The sage grouse, with pointed back feathers like a crown and yellow eyes, is under review for endangered species status by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Sage grouse, as their Conservation Media name suggests, occupy the sagebrush country of the northwest U.S. and some of southern Canada, an area highly contested among the sage grouse, ranchers and the oil and gas industry. The House Natural Resources Committee held two full commitSage grouse tee field hearings in Casper, Wyo., and Billings, Mont., to open discussion with the public about authorizing the Endangered Species Act to protect the sage grouse. “It’s the uncertainty that surrounds it,” says Doc Hastings, chairman of the

Committee on Natural Resources. “Someone has a lease, for example, and wants to make an investment and somebody says, ‘Uh-oh, there’s a potential endangered species — file a lawsuit.’ How much is that going to cost?” Fish and Wildlife Service will make a decision regarding the sage grouse in 2015. — Zak Weinberg

Changes in precipitation were able to explain about 30 percent of degradation across Mongolia as a whole, while temperature changes played only a minor role. “This is a pretty serious issue,” Thomas Hilker, an assistant professor in the OSU College of Forestry, said in a press release. “Regionally, this is a huge area in which the land is being degraded and the food supply for local people is being reduced. Globally, however, all ecosystems have a distinct function in world climate,” he added. “Vegetation cools the landscape and plays an important role for the water and carbon balance, including greenhouse gases.” Twelve percent of the area’s biomass has disappeared in recent years, and 70 percent of the grassland ecosystem is considered degraded. — Zak Weinberg

providing 16 percent of the nation’s electricity. The 500 plants with the highest carbon dioxide emissions — of nearly 6,000 electricity generating facilities in the U.S. — produce 90 percent of the carbon dioxide emitted through power production. The top 10 polluting power plants emit as much carbon dioxide as all the passenger vehicles in New York and California — or as much as the energyrelated emissions for Venezuela. In Colorado, as across the country, 41 percent of all carbon dioxide emissions come from power plants. The top five plants for carbon dioxide emissions are responsible for 26.2 million tons of carbon dioxide, and 28 percent of total carbon dioxide emissions for the state. The power plant in Craig, operated by

Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, Inc., is the 55th most carbon-polluting plant in the U.S., emitting the equivalent of 1.87 million passenger vehicles in 2011, or 9 million metric tons of carbon dioxide. The other four power plants with the highest carbon dioxide emissions in Colorado — Comanche Generating Station in Pueblo, Cherokee Generating Station in Denver, Hayden Generating Station in Hayden in northwest Colorado and Pawnee Generating Station in Brush in northeast Colorado — are operated by the Public Service Company of Colorado, a subsidiary of Xcel Energy.

Generating Station’s recently added third unit, which began construction in 2004, as an example of cost-effective greenhouse gas emissions reductions at coal plants. Because the EPA standards released apply only to new power plants and not to existing structures, none of those power plants, which began construction in the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s, will be affected by them. “Though we are still reviewing the rule, we don’t believe it affects any of our plans for new power plants,” Mark Stutz, Xcel’s senior media representative, said in an emailed statement. “However, we are concerned with the potential long-term implications of this proposed rule for our customers and the nation’s energy system as the rule makes it very unlikely that any new coal plants will be built in the United States.” Xcel’s clean energy strategy in Colorado has reduced carbon dioxide emissions by 20 percent since 2005 and is projected to reach a 30 percent reduction by 2020. Nearly a dozen states, including Colorado, have implemented or are implementing market-based programs to reduce carbon pollution. More than 25 have energy efficiency targets, and 35 have renewable energy targets, according to the EPA. Colorado’s Clean Air Clean Jobs Act has been contested in court as too costly a burden to place on Colorado’s ratepayers. And it’s with states, and Congress, Xcel Energy argues, that measures to govern climate change should remain. “Xcel Energy believes Congress is the appropriate body to implement well-designed policies that promote clean energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in a flexible, cost-effective manner,” Stutz says. “Overall, effective climate policy will give states the ability to rely on clean energy programs and will reward early action that has already reduced emissions across the country.” The standards from the EPA for new power plants come 10 years after the agency released an official statement declaring that the Clean Air Act did not authorize the agency to regulate global warming pollution. When the Clean Air Act was passed in 1970, the directive it gave to the EPA’s administrator was to oversee emissions from motor vehicles. Pressed by a 1999 lawsuit to regulate greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the EPA responded in 2003 that the Clean Air Act didn’t authorize the EPA to address global climate change, nor would it be wise to engage with greenhouse gas emission standards at that time. The agency

pointed to a National Research Council report that identified areas of scientific uncertainty on the mechanisms of climate change and its effects on human health and the environment. In 2007, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the agency did have that authority, could not decline to regulate greenhouse gas pollution and was in fact required to determine if greenhouse gases were contributing to global warming and thereby endangering public health and welfare. Two years later, the agency concluded that carbon dioxide was a public health risk because of global warming and in 2010, released a plan to release new performance standards and emissions guidelines for fossil fuel-fired power plants. “In many ways, these regulations should have been passed a decade ago, so we’re still playing catch-up, I think, in terms of what’s needed both to address the crisis and to really help protect communities in the U.S. from local pollution from these power plants,” Henn says. “Coal is already falling behind fast, and it’s a combination through some incredible activism work on the ground and the natural gas boom, which is taking place across the U.S. which has really changed the whole economics when it comes to the coal industry. So while it’s still incredibly important to have these regulations in place, this is really dealing with a dying industry. … The real challenge is taking on big oil, which continues to spend upwards of $100 million a day looking for new fossil fuel reserves, often more dangerous and extreme forms of energy like the tar sands.” Natural gas has been couched as the solution for coal’s carbon dioxide emissions — Colorado’s Clean Air Clean Jobs Act calls for taking coal-fired power plants off line and replacing them with natural gas-fired power plants. But natural gas presents its own issues. “Leaks of methane during both the drilling and the transportation process can easily cancel out whatever benefits are gained from having reduced emissions of CO2 simply because methane is so, so potent,” McCall says. Fracking to secure natural gas needs regulating, she says, but ultimately, power needs to be provided by clean and renewable sources. The EPA has “initiated outreach” to stakeholders to develop emissions guidelines for existing power plants, which are expected to be issued by June 1. Those debates are expected to be more controversial and see more pressure from industry lobbying groups. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com Boulder Weekly

TAOS from Page 21

I’m at San Geronimo Day, an annual September feast day at the Taos Pueblo (www.taospueblo.com), one of several powerful pilgrimage sites in the area of Taos, N.M. The only living Native American community that’s been designated both a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a National Historic Landmark, the Taos Pueblo is one of the oldest continuously inhabited communities in the world. For more than 1,000 years the Taos Pueblo Indians have been spiritually and physically tending the land nestled at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. I always feel it’s a tender privilege when I visit the pueblo, where its inhabitants have been bound together by complex religious ceremonies for centuries. I like to walk around Red Willow Creek, which cuts through the center of the earthen plaza and provides their only source of drinking water, and to visit the little San Geronimo Chapel, where frescoes of corn plants hark back to the indigenous roots of La Virgen de Guadalupe up on the altar. The Catholic chapel is the site of a Vespers service the night before the San Geronimo pole climb — a reminder of how very old spiritual traditions both survive and overlap in this high desert land. For someone like me, a seeker who drinks deeply from the wells of a variety of religious traditions, Taos is an ideal destination. A town of less than 6,000 surrounded by a landscape of rugged, mystical beauty, Taos captivated me from the moment I went there in 2004 to make a pilgrimage to the

Neem Karoli Baba Ashram and Hanuman Temple (www.nkbashram. org/), an unexpected bastion of Hinduism in the middle of an old Spanish neighborhood just west of the downtown Taos Plaza. Little did I know that within two years I would be un-Velcro-ing myself from Los Angeles and making Taos my new home. I had decided that year to study divine devotion through Hanuman, the Hindu monkey-god whose unswerving dedication to the god Ram makes him the embodiment of spiritual commitment. I was delighted to discover, in the modest adobe temple, a Hanuman murti from India (a statue believed to contain the living spirit of the god), whose jewel-colored sashes and crowns change with great regularity. The temple, surrounded by fertile gardens and farmland, is part of an ashram dedicated to the late Neem Karoli Baba, the Indian guru who influenced the best-selling Be Here Now author Ram Dass and musicians Krishna Das and Jai Uttal. During the week I often drop in to meditate or to join in a spontaneous kirtan (sacred Sanskrit chanting), and on Sundays I like to attend the 11 a.m. chanting of the Hanuman chaleesa, a repeated song of praise that puts me into an ecstatic trance, followed by a huge vegetarian feast hosted by this very welcoming community. I also enjoy the special festival days throughout the year, like Shivaratri (an all-night ceremony in praise of Lord Shiva, the Cosmic Dancer, held when the new

Going up and down stairs whenever you please might seem like a small thing to some people… but it’s become a thing of the past for me. I’ve known for awhile that for me, climbing stairs is tempting fate. Now, everyone from my doctor to my kids are telling me I need to avoid them. The problem is, I’ve lived in this house for years, and if I don’t use the stairs I either have to sleep in my family room or live in my bedroom. Why should I risk my safety just to live my life? Then, a friend told me about an innovative solution, Easy Climber®. It’s basically a chair lift for your stairs... and it’s given me back my home.

n America, we seem to forget that regular exercise does more good than to just burn fat and make our buns look good on the beach. A healthy exercise program also reduces stress, rejuvenates our physical self and strengthens coordinated communication between mind and body. I teach all of my clients and athletes that the most important element of training is recovery. In that area, the proper amount of sleep at night is vital for the brain to properly reset and our physical body to replenish itself. Shallow sleep, from a training perspective, puts us at risk for disease, muscle loss, weight gain and states of ongoing chronic stress. Diving into the shallow end of the sleep pool also ages us prematurely and slows us down on a cellular level. Slow-wave sleep is a term for the deepest level we can attain, says the Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School. As a trainer or exercise enthusiast, it’s important to strive for and understand the benefits of slowwave sleep. The primary function of reaching this deep state for the proper amount of time is to allow the brain to recover from all of its daily activities. No brain recovery means poor body connection and poor training results. Not achieving adequate slow-wave sleep exposure increases catabolic hormones like cortisol, that we break down, and decreases the major anabolic factors like testosterone, IGF-1 and growth hormone (the ones that build and repair). Lack of slow-wave sleep negatively affects your ability to recover, build muscle, adapt, maintain mental sharpness and stay healthy while training. Our diminishing ability to maintain

slow-wave sleep as we age only compounds the problem.

Snooze solutions

Gradually tone down your activity levels heading into your pre-set bedtime. Turn off lights and the television as it gets closer. Stop reading, texting, emailing or working on problems right before bed so the mental activity doesn’t continue to manifest while sleeping. Trade the unhealthy activities right before bed for a short meditation. This will create a gap between daily stress and healthy sleep. Remember the last time you went camping? The sun goes down and within an hour sleepiness starts to set in — even at 8 p.m. This is our natural Circadian Rhythm expressing itself when not influenced by artificial light. The reason you feel alert at night is that artificial light and a high level of activity are keeping you from producing the chemicals that make you tired. Switch over to candlelight before bed rather than just clicking off a light before trying to sleep. Always be sleeping between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. without food or alcohol in your system to divert valuable energy. According to Ayurvedic expert John Douillard in his book Body, Mind and Sport, these are the hours the body turns on our internal cleansing cycle. This means the body is going to work detoxifying and rejuvenating tissues. Sometimes we get much stronger by doing less and better results often come from working smarter — not just making workouts harder.

the highest concentration of hippie communes in the U.S., and the Lama Foundation (www.lamafoundation. org/) is the only one that still exists as an intentional community. Located about 20 miles north of Taos, on 110 acres set amidst Carson National Forest land, today Lama is both a sustainable spiritual community and an education center dedicated to all spiritual paths. Summer is the high season, with a juicy program of workshops and retreats until the end of September, and all are welcome to such regular weekly events as the Friday-night Jewish Shabbat service and community feast. (Yes, Taoseños love to share meals!) My favorite things to do at Lama are the Sufi Dances of Universal Peace, held on some Thursday nights in the Dome, a starburst-ceilinged structure that holds great spiritual power. These led dances melt my heart as we hold hands, move gently in a circle, make eye contact with our fellow dancers, and chant mantras from all world religions to promote peace. When I want to connect with the t Spanish heritage of Taos (and my own Hispanic roots), I head south of town, to the San Francisco de Asis Church (www.archdiocesesantafe.org/Parishes/ ParishDir.html) on the Ranchos de Taos Plaza. Completed in 1815, its - massive buttressed exterior is famous from paintings and photographs by such artists as Georgia O’Keeffe and Ansel Adams. I’m fond of the slightly crooked wooden altar covered with thand-painted saints, a charming example of the art of northern New Mexican santeros, whose humble methods for creating holy images is still passed down from generation to generation. The Spanish-language mass on Sundays, where locals sing rancheras to Jesus and everyone knows everybody else (and their abuelos and abuelas), resonates with a feeling of deep community. Sometimes, though, I crave the deep sort of stillness that fills me with spaciousness and melts my boundaries to nothing. That’s when I drive northeast of Taos, wind my way through the village of Arroyo Seco, and climb up El Salto Road to Hoko-ji (http:// hokojitaos.org/). About 25 minutes from downtown Taos, Hoko-ji is a rustic Zen Buddhist temple in the lineage of the late Kobun Chino Otogawa Roshi. This sweet spot where piñon pines and junipers give Boulder Weekly

way to ponderosas and white fir is a perfect place to refresh my spirit. The zendo is soothingly orderly, a mixture of oak and pine and cedar finishes, with meditation cushions on raised platforms arrayed around the room’s perimeter. Kobun (whose shrine you can visit

in the backyard gardens) always stressed that Hoko-ji was not a monastic training center but, rather, “a place for people to practice zazen, and it will belong to the people who use it.” This populist purpose rings true for Hoko-ji and, in fact, for all my favorite pilgrimage places in Taos. The

more I use them, the more their power enters and stays with me. I feel they belong to me, not in the sense of possession, but in the sense of gentle, long-lasting influence. This story first appeared in Whole Life Times. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

y this time, while most of the national press has moved on and the TV cameras are all wearing local station logos, and chocolate-brown waters are lazily carrying pieces of Boulder County toward the Missouri River, Colorado’s northern Front Range communities are figuring out how to reconstruct themselves. Natural disasters are cruelly binding events — everybody in the area has a story, a loss, a reaction so surreal that it sears its own place into the memory. For Big Gigantic’s Jeremy Salken and Dominic Lalli, who were on tour when the thing went down, it may have been that disabling frustration of watching your neighborhood getting drowned — on TV. “I think we were in … Missoula, one of the big nights we did, when we heard about that 30-foot surge coming down the canyon,” Lalli remembers. “It was just crazy, watching videos and watching the news on our computers. It was just … yeah. It was awful.” For their part, though, Salken and Lalli count themselves among the fortunate who lost nothing in the deluge. “Nothin’, man,” says Lalli. “I felt guilty for one, being out of town, and then nothing happening.” see BIG GIGANTIC Page 28

Musicians band together to help community after flooding Benefit concerts in the double digits and rising

by David Accomazzo and Alexis Schwartz

ay what you will about Americans, but when faced with a tangible, non-partisan threat, we band together, set aside our differences and support each other. When facing Mother Nature, we have each other’s backs. If there’s one silver lining to the seemingly never-ending series of fires

and floods to hit Boulder (and the rest of the state), it’s that we’ve gotten to watch our neighbors and fellow residents come together to help out those in need. As the evacuations started, shelters and charities quickly filled to the seams with donations; organizations formed within days to help coordinate volunteer efforts. Now, two weeks after

floodwaters raged through the streets of Boulder County, the music community is pitching in too, to the tune of at least 11 fundraising events happening in the coming weeks. Josh Elioseff of The Zimmermans has put together a nonprofit called Wake of the Flood (after the 1975 Grateful Dead album of the same

name) with fellow musicians Ted Tilton (Deadphish Orchestra) and Julie Gussaroff to help fund flood relief efforts. Together with Hot Soup guitarist and vocalist Matt Flaherty, the musicians are hosting a benefit concert on Saturday, Sept. 28 at the Fox Theatre, featuring members from Deadphish Orchestra, Hot Soup, Mountain Standard Time, The Zimmermans, Jet Edison, Technicolor Tone Factory, Grant Farm, Bonnie Sims, Danny Shafer and more — all in all, Flaherty says, about 40 musicians coming and going. All performers will be donating their time, including those who themselves lost things in the flood. As Flaherty says, “We all need help. … Sometimes you get it, and sometimes see BENEFITS Page 30

benefit,” Patterson says. Danny Shafer, who is playing a few flood benefits himself, was a Lyons resident pre-flood. Now, he and his fiancée and her two children have relocated to Longmont. “Colorado bands step up when the going gets tough, more than any place I’ve ever seen,” Shafer says. “It’s a tightknit community; everybody knows somebody or has been affected by it. Everyone comes together when things get tough here.” He says he hopes one day to move back into Lyons, but he’s not sure. He lived in the River Bend Mobile Home Park, near Planet Bluegrass, and he says he hopes the park will continue to exist when the town re-opens. “We loved it down there,” Shafer says. “[It was] down by the river. The school was two blocks away. A town like Lyons being able to retain its economic diversity is really important for the town’s culture. “I’m doing OK.

SOMETHING UNDERGROUND

34 September 26, 2013

osh Davis, better known by his elusive moniker, DJ Shadow, has enjoyed a kind of staying power few artists experience. A San Francisco DJ and producer with a famous affinity for record collecting, he forever influenced the world of hip-hop in 1996 with Endtroducing, his debut full-length album. Heralded as the first record constructed entirely out of samples, its expert craftsmanship and tastefully hazed approach to funk, soul, jazz and various obscurities stunned critics and fans, laying a groundwork for the trip hop, instrumental and experimental hip-hop sounds that East Coast producers and DJs still tinker with today. However, despite this early acclaim, much of Davis’ career has gone relatively unnoticed. Endtroducing fittingly marked the beginning and end of that particular jaunt, and since then, he has built a reputation on eluding expectations. His career is marked by experimentation, which can be heard in melodic strings and disco found on The Private Press or mainstream rap on critically divisive The Outsider. Even his long list of collaborators, which includes names like Thom Yorke, Q-Tip and Cut Chemist, is always

An Exercise in evolution

DJ Shadow talks about life after ‘Endtroducing’ and the digital age by Stephanie Riesco growing. But for someone who has continually reinvented himself as an artist for more than a decade, Davis has always maintained a sense of mystery about himself as a person. That doesn’t mean he isn’t honest; on the contrary, he freely and courteously dispenses his views on just about any subject. But when it comes to public perception, especially with the advent of social media, Davis is wary. “I know that that’s a different sentiment than the way most people do things now,” Davis says. “Now [musicians] want their Twitter to pop, so they get a team of people and invent content

to make it seem like they’re super out there and up on things and opinionated. But whenever I sit down and feel like I want to vent on Twitter, I end up just deleting it because if I were following me, I wouldn’t care about that stuff. So why would anybody else?” This skepticism about technology is something that’s become central to Davis as an artist. In fact, his 2011 release The Less You Know, The Better dealt with the threat he feels technology poses to music. He’s also planted his singles in record stores to give fans the tangible thrill of discovering music, as well as conceived a marketing campaign to combat the Internet’s culture of negativity. But in 2010, people especially took notice when he came out on his website staunchly against the practice of free music downloads. Though Davis has since started offering freebies of his own music and even worked with BitTorrent, he says that coming to terms with that reality was not easy. “I thought that [free downloads] sent out a weird message about the value of music in general at the time. But then you feel like, ‘So, I’ve said what I wanted to say on that subject.’ Instead of fight a losing battle you just go, ‘OK, my own thought processes are Boulder Weekly

evolving,’” Davis says. “But that’s another reason why when you voice an opinion on a subject on social media, it sort of becomes frozen in time or it defines who you are permanently. As human beings we’re always changing our minds about things, but sometimes when you’re under the microscope as a musician, it creates kind of a chilling effect on really sharing your opinions.” If the music he’s made since Endtroducing is any indicator, the last thing Davis wants is to be put in a box. But his releases since that fateful album have often been met with lukewarm reviews. Davis says he never intended to recreate Endtroducing, but he did have misconceptions about how people would respond to his work. “It may sound strange, but I actually used to think that people should like everything I make because I felt that invested in what I was doing. I felt like I was challenging my fan base at times, and I wanted them to follow everything I did,” Davis says. “But then I just started to think that that’s kind of unrealistic. Once I came to that realization, it made being adventurous and doing different things and really following my own path a little bit easier.” At his upcoming All Basses Covered show at Boulder Theater, he’ll flex his DJ muscles to not only spin some original material, but also mix together funk and contemporary tracks, old and new songs, and anything he feels like digging out of his music library. Davis says he hasn’t been able to DJ like this since the late ’90s. “For a while, I felt a big responsibility to put together a live show in the way that a band would, but suddenly 13 years went by and I realized I really should allow myself to just DJ again because I’ve been missing it,” Davis says. “I think knowing when to switch it up really has to do with, ‘Am I invested in what I’m doing?’ But at the same time I can sort of feel the need for a change and I like to listen to those little signals.” While there’s no concrete plans beyond finishing out his tour, Davis knows he’s the kind of artist who is always searching for something new and unexpected. He just hopes that, in time, his audience will understand that his perspective will never stop evolving. “Once people allow that for an artist, it all falls into place and makes sense for people,” Davis says. “I don’t know whether that’s going to happen or has happened, but, as an artist, you have to have faith that it will.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com Boulder Weekly

a break, a new vision. We need to feel inspired again. Or to put it more succinctly, we could all use a good dose of art. Fortunately, we can get just that this weekend during the Longmont Council of the Arts’ Studio Tour 2013. This self-guided tour features the work of 47 of the area’s most accomplished artists. These creatives who work in Longmont and Niwot are opening their studios to the public this weekend, and the timing couldn’t be better. For a couple of weeks now, area residents have been participating in a different kind of tour, the flood destruction tour. At every missing bridge, crumpled home, swollen creek and crevassed road, crowds gather daily to compare stories and see the damage for themselves. It has been a powerful, if not uplifting experience. But it seems a good time to change tours. Art can offer much-needed escape and inspiration. If we give it a chance, it can take us from our monotone world of mud and debris to a place where light and color can still coax a smile and an artist’s vision can resurrect our depleted sense of wonder. Art can work powerful magic in our lives if we’ll only give it the time. This year’s Longmont Studio tour appears to have something for everyone’s taste, from contemporary oil paintings to whimsical blown glass creations to sculpture, jewelry, fabric art and even hand-painted furniture. With such variety, a great place to start your self-guided tour is at Muse

Gallery. Muse, in downtown Longmont, is hosting the 2013 Studio Tour Preview show, which includes a work of art from each of the 47 participating artists. Pick out your favorite pieces and grab one of the studio tour maps available at the gallery and plot out your day’s route. The studio tour is a great way to meet the county’s arts community and to observe them working in their own space. Several of the artists will be conducting demonstrations during the tour. The tour map, available at Muse or online from the Longmont Council for the Arts at http://tinyurl.com/jvrworo, shows which artists will be offering demonstrations. For art patrons or just those needing an injection of creativity, the tour is a great way to keep up with artists who are new to the area, such as Judy Batty, who has relocated her stainedglass studio to Old Town Longmont from Maine, or to discover the new work of the region’s best-known creators, such as painters Rick Stoner and Kathleen Reilly. Of late, Stoner seems to come up with something that departs from his more familiar landscapes and still-lifes around studio tour time, and this year’s work featuring a bee is definitely in that mold-breaking vein. The studio tour runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday. Give yourself a well-deserved break and enjoy a flood-free day of art and inspiration in east Boulder County. Pablo says it will do you a world of good. Respond:letters@boulderweekly.com Boulder Weekly

music

Thursday, September 26: Soofy and the Walrus, The Laughing Goat, 1709 Pearl St., Boulder, 8 p.m.

Nederland-based band Nokuthula will be bringing traditional Zimbabwean marimba stylings, as well as electric guitar and saxophone, down to Caffè Sole this weekend for an all-ages showcase of world music. The band’s name means “Mother of Peace” in Zulu, reflective of the laid-back sounds the band coaxes from its wide arrangement of instruments. The audience can look forward to a relaxed atmosphere and an ensemble of regular performers alongside some local guest musicians.

film Wednesday, October 2: Defiant Requiem — Movie screening. 6:30 p.m. Boulder Public Library Main Branch, 1001 Arapahoe Ave., Boulder, 303-4413100. Czech conductor Rafael Schächter brought a copy of Giuseppe Verdi’s Requiem with him when he was imprisoned in the Terezin concentration camp during World War II. Unbeknownst to his Nazi capturers, Schächter assembled a choir and began rehearsing the peace. “Here they were, surrounded by man’s worst, and these Jewish prisioners were determined to remind everyone of man’s best,” conductor Murry Sidlin says in the documentary, which explores the resiliency of the human spirit when aided by music.

You can get to the Greenbriar

“Apparently a lot of people think we are gone!” That’s a sad line to read in a press release, but following Boulder County’s massive floods, it’s heartening news from The Greenbriar Inn. Co-owner Emma Goddard says the Greenbriar, located at Lefthand Canyon Drive and Foothills Highway — that’s U.S. 36 north of Boulder — is open for business. The Greenbriar is located south of the section of U.S. 36 that is closed, so Boulder residents can access it just by heading up 36. The Greenbriar is open during its regular hours. Its website is www.greenbriarinn. com and its phone number is 303-440-7979.

Oktober is still coming

Boulder’s uphill little brother will still hold its Oktoberfest, organizers have announced. Nederland’s first annual Oktoberfest Bavarian Celebration might be off to a rocky start, but it’s still on, minus the Mountain Bike Race, which has been canceled. The Sept. 28 celebration, which is free, will feature seasonal fall beers from five regional craft brewers, bratwurst from local company Boulder Sausage and pizza from Backcountry Pizza. As-yet-unnamed bands will be performing Bavarian music live, also with free admission. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Humane Society of Boulder Valley. The event will be held at the Jeff Guercio Memorial

cuisine review

elita and David Issa know a good Izakaya. An Izakaya is best translated as a tavern, or in the case of Izakaya Amu, a classy looking sake bar. In Japan, this is the place to go after work to drink, smoke, eat and drink some more. In Boulder, Amu is the place to forget the plight of gluten-free, sugar-free, this-grew-on-a-bush-next-door rhetoric and stuff some sea urchin bruschetta into your mouth. The couple is new to Boulder, having lived in Japan on and off for 16 years. On a recent return trip to Tokyo, Melita stocked up on specialty ingredients. Her suitcase brimmed so full of culinary delights like soba noodles and sauces, she says, she was surprised customs didn’t inquire into whether she plans to open a resIzakaya Amu taurant. And she might have if 1221 Naoto Kanda, Amu’s owner, Spruce St., didn’t already have a grip on Boulder the market in Boulder. 303-440From the owner of Sushi 0807 Zanmai comes an interpretation of upscale Japanese cuisine. Don’t expect to get away with your American version of Japanese dining: There are no California rolls or edamame — and you have to take your shoes off. It’s only polite. We sit on tatami mats, and the Issas both scan for favorite dishes they haven’t been able to order since arriving in Colorado. Melita spots staple dishes she is used to ordering after a day skiing in a mountain village. It turns out, between the attention to etiquette, the use of Japanese language among waitstaff and the authenticity of the food and drink, we easily could be in a trendy Izakaya in Japan. If you need a little incentive to feel bold ordering because of the unfamiliarity of the menu, start with a beer and then get a sake flight. “Kitten mizu” (mizu meaning water) is what David calls the beer. In an Izakaya, beer is considered water because of the ease with which it’s consumed.

We try three sake choices from a dizzying selection: Yaegaki, Karatanba and Kagatobi. The Yaegaki is distinguished by its murky coloring, or “rice dust.” The cold drink is a pleasant reset for the palate between dishes. With a little sake in our system, we muster the nerve to try the sea urchin bruschetta. It comes with bread coated in cheese and fried, alongside a modest pile of squishy uni, sea urchin, to spread on top. This special is an invention of Amu. For the seafood novice, eating an animal you are used to seeing at an aquarium can seem as foreign as eating brains. Before you go and get all squeamish, sea urchins don’t actually have brains, although they do have hundreds of tube feet. This special is one tasty anatomy lesson. Vegetarians, there is food for you, too. The agedashi tofu is a staple dish: Impressive tofu chunks soak up a flavorful, sweet broth topped with nori, dried seaweed, an added nuance. Opt for this over the tofu steak, which tasted bland by comparison. For the meat-eater, the kamo soba is not a dish you can expect to find from any street vendor. A traditional dish from Osaka, it is a staple in mountainous regions for its nourishing qualities. The broth is full of lean duck chunks, cooked to be tender with very little fat. We round out our order with another traditional dish, okonomiyaki. Think of the okonomiyaki as a savory pancake. It arrives out of the oven with tiny dancing bonito (fish)

Cheaper than a plane ticket to Japan Izakaya Amu offers authentic cuisine, atmosphere by Cayte Bosler flakes on top. It’s filled with bacon, octopus, squid and veggies. If the presentation of the uni is too real for you, this is a brilliant way to get a taste of tradition with the critters disguised in batter. Definitely a must for its presentation. How the chef is able to craft such perfectly decorated dishes is as much a mystery to me as what the bar patrons are conversing about in Japanese as they pour each other sake. From the cuisine to the backdrop of Japanese chatter, Amu is a refreshing dining experience among the dominance of contemporary American in downtown Boulder. Drink some kitten mizu. Then some sake. Eat something you have never tried before and please, make sure your feet aren’t too stinky before taking off your shoes. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

props. To this day, the Dark Horse prides itself on being locally owned and operated. Known for its cheap drinks and food and its famous “Tuesday night trike nights,” the Dark Horse serves as Boulder’s “working class bar,” bartender Nate McCoy says. Though students make up a large portion of its clientele, the Dark Horse also caters heavily to construction workers, professionals and the occasional motorcycle crew. Regular Kat Brown, who met her fiancé there, says that she goes nearly seven days a week because of the staff and the bar’s laid-back nature. “It’s my local bar,” Brown says. “I’ve gotten to know the staff really well. When I walk in, they know my name, my drink order, my birthday and what’s going on in my life. I know that they’ve got my back. … I’m not afraid to go there in my chef pants and be myself.” Brown adds that the bar fits her lifestyle — which, living in Boulder, means getting away from college students for a while. “I like it there because there aren’t a lot of college-y people,” says Brown. “I can afford to have a few drinks and relax with my friends and coworkers.” Of course, at certain times during the week, college students do flock to the

Dark Horse. What sets Boulder dive bars apart from others throughout the country is the featured craft beers. Both the Sundown Saloon and the Dark Horse offer a variety of local craft beers from breweries like Avery, Oskar Blues, Boulder Beer, Upslope and more. “Having craft beer in your bar is a part of being in Boulder,“ McCoy says. “Boulder is the Mecca of micro-brewing and craft brews in general. I think it’s definitely a cool part of keeping it local.” The Sundown Saloon usually keeps 10 to 15 rotating craft beers based on popularity, with what’s new and what’s popular sharing fridge space with dive staples like Miller High Life, Lost Lake, Coors, Budweiser and the most popular, Pabst Blue Ribbon. The Sundown Saloon boasts that it is the number one PBR seller in the world two years running. The bar offers $6 pitchers and $2.50 pints of the brokecollege-student staple and considers it its top-selling beer. “When it comes down to it, we’re a beer and bourbon bar,” Sanders says. “I think that makes it a very conducive atmosphere for having a good time.” Steve Weishampel contributed to the reporting of this story.

SAVAGE by Dan Savage

Dear Dan: I’m a 23-year-old homo who came out one year ago. Life has done good and bad things to me. Good things include success in the intelligence lottery, a full ride to college, and now a job with a six-figure income. Sadly, I find that my place in life is different from the place occupied by most other young gay men. When meeting someone, I am often bummed to discover that they are in a state of transience (between cities, between degrees), or bummed because I detect a difference in socioeconomic upbringing/status that will make it hard for us to relate to each other, or bummed because they are not as smart as I am, or most often bummed over a combination of all these things. These thoughts sap my interest in new people, telling me that “it just wouldn’t work.” Am I right to think that and keep looking, or should I do some substantial “rounding up to one” and go on that second date, even though the odds of compatibility seem slim? —Lots Of First Dates Dear LOFD: I’m tempted to tell you not to go on “that second date” with anyone you feel is beneath you intellectually, socioeconomically, or status- or upbringing-wise — not to spare you his ghastly company, LOFD, but to spare him the ghastliness of yours. Look, Gloria Upson, if dating gay men your own age means exposing yourself to guys who are in “states of transience” — completely normal states for dudes in their early 20s — then date guys in their 30s and 40s. Not that dating older guys is a surefire recipe for romantic success: Your snobbery, classism, and elitism are so repulsive that most older guys will be blocking your number before you can call about a second date. Andrew Sullivan wrote a beautiful post at The Dish a few weeks ago about the egalitarianism of getting laid. He recalled dancing all night in a gay club full of African American guys back when he was a “cute twinky English schoolboy.” And Andrew didn’t just dance with the black guys he encountered after moving to Washington, D.C. “There’s nothing like dating or fucking a person of another background, race, or class to help you see the humanity in everyone,” Andrew wrote. “How do you get scared of generic young black men when you’ve danced with them all night long? … In that sense, I’ve always felt that being gay was a real moral blessing. I could have been so much worse a human being if I’d been straight.” You’re young, LOFD, and I’m being hard on you. I don’t mean to step on Boulder Weekly

Love

your ping-pong ball. But if you don’t get a grip on your classism and snobbery, you will become so much worse a human being than you need to be. So snap the fuck out of it, OK? And remember: We gay people are a tiny, tiny minority. If you reject as potential partners, friends, and fuck buddies all gay men who aren’t of your exact same class, education level, social status (ugh), or salary level (barf ), LOFD, you won’t be left with many guys to date, hang out with or fuck. Which is not to say that you’ll wind up alone. Refusing to date any gay man who doesn’t belong to the same club that Bunny Bixler does (and isn’t pulling in 100K+ a year) will complicate your search for love, LOFD, but there are other gay snobs out there. You could find a boyfriend who’s just like you, i.e., same class, same education, same income bracket, same snobbery and shitty-ass attitude. But I wouldn’t wish that kind of guy on anyone, LOFD. Not even on you. Dear Dan: My girlfriend and I have a vibrant relationship. Sex is great and adventurous when we have it, but I have one small issue that clouds up the sexual chemistry and turns me into a somber theologian: Since the earliest days of my childhood, I was told by my family that abortion was a horrible, horrible thing. And that thought has complicated my relationships. I simply don’t know how to get past this thought and indulge my partner and myself sexually without feeling uncertain about the possible outcome of our getting funky. I feel awful that my girlfriend has to deal with this moral panic of mine, and I’m sick of putting her through it. Help! —Bummed About Bad Experiences Dear BABE: Some suggestions: Use a hormonal birth control method and a condom and pull out before you come. Don’t have penis-in-vagina intercourse — you can stick to oral sex, mutual masturbation and doing her in the butt (if being done in the butt is something your girlfriend enjoys). Deposit a few loads at a sperm bank, keep ’em on ice until you want kids and get a vasectomy. Or, hey, you could learn more about abortion while continuing to act responsibly, i.e., using birth control and condoms. Abortion is not a horrible, horrible thing. It is a medical, medical thing.

ARIES

March 21-April 19:

NEW STRAINS WEEKLY

SCORPIO

TAURUS

April 20-May 20:

Would you be willing to go to extraordinary lengths to transform aspects of your life that you have felt are hard to transform? Now would be a good time to do that. Luck will flow your way if you work on healing your number one wound. Unexpected help and inspiration will appear if you administer tough love to any part of you that’s addicted, immature, or unconscious. Barriers will crumple if you brainstorm about new ways to satisfy your frustrated yearnings.

GEMINI

May 21-June 20:

I bet your normal paranoia levels will decline in the coming weeks. Fears you take for granted won’t make nearly as much sense as they usually seem to. As a result, you’ll be tempted to wriggle free from your defense mechanisms. Useful ideas that your mind has been closed to may suddenly tantalize your curiosity. I won’t be surprised if you start tuning into catalysts that had previously been invisible to you. But here are my questions: Can you deal with losing the motivational force that fear gives you? Will you be able to get inspired by grace and pleasure rather than anxiety and agitation? I advise you to work hard on raising your trust levels.

CANCER

June 21-July 22:

“Sometimes people have nothing to say because they’re too empty,” writes author Yasmin Mogahed, “and sometimes people have nothing to say because they’re too full.” By my reckoning, Cancerian, you will soon be in the latter category. A big silence is settling over you as new amusements and amazements rise up within you. It will be understandable if you feel reluctant to blab about them. They need more time to ripen. You should trust your impulse to remain a secret and a mystery for a while.

LEO

July 23-Aug. 22:

“Insight is not a light bulb that goes off inside our heads,” says author Malcolm Gladwell. “It is a flickering candle that can easily be snuffed out.” Take that as a constructive warning, Leo. On the one hand, I believe you will soon glimpse quite a few new understandings of how the world works and what you could do to make it serve you better. On the other hand, you’ve got to be extra alert for these new understandings and committed to capturing them the moment they pop up. Articulate them immediately. If you’re alone, talk to yourself about them. Maybe even write them down. Don’t just assume you will be able to remember them perfectly later when it’s more convenient.

VIRGO

Aug. 23-Sept. 22:

After a storm, British wildlife lover Gary Zammit found a baby heron cowering in a broken nest. Its parents were dead. Zammit took the orphan under his wing. He named it Dude, and cared for it as it grew. Eventually he realized that Dude was never going to learn to fly unless he intervened. Filling his pockets full of the food that Dude loved, Zammit launched a series of flying lessons — waving his arms and squawking as he ran along a flat meadow that served as a runway. Dude imitated his human dad, and soon mastered the art of flight. Can you see ways in which this story might have metaphorical resemblances to your own life, Virgo? I think it does. It’s time for your mind to teach your body an instinctual skill or self-care habit that it has never quite gotten right.

LIBRA

Sept. 23-Oct. 22:

For four days twice a year, the East China Sea recedes to

Boulder Weekly

Oct. 23-Nov. 21:

The desire for revenge is a favorite theme of the entertainment industry. It’s presented as being glamorous and stirring and even noble. How many action films build their plots around the hero seeking payback against his enemies? Personally, I see revenge as one of the top three worst emotions. In real life, it rarely has redeeming value. People who actively express it often wreak pain and ruin on both others and themselves. Even those who merely stew in it may wound themselves by doing so. I bring this up, Scorpio, because now is an excellent time for you to shed desires for revenge. Dissolve them, get rid of them, talk yourself out of indulging in them. The reward for doing so will be a great liberation.

SAGITTARIUS Nov. 22-Dec. 21:

Just for a few days, would you be willing to put your attention on the needs of others more than on your own? The weird thing is, your selfish interests will be best served by being as unselfish and empathetic and compassionate as you can stand to be. I don’t mean that you should allow yourself to be abused or taken advantage of. Your task is to express an abundance of creative generosity as you bestow your unique blessings in ways that make you feel powerful. In the words of theologian Frederick Buechner, you should go “to the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.”

CAPRICORN

Dec. 22-Jan. 19:

Imagine a scenario like this: The CEOs of five crazily rich U.S. corporations, including a major defense contractor, stage a press conference to announce that in the future they will turn down the massive welfare benefits and tax breaks the federal government has been doling out to them all these years. Now picture this: The Pope issues a statement declaring that since Jesus Christ never had a single bad word to say about homosexuals, the Catholic Church is withdrawing its resistance to gay rights. I am envisioning a comparable reversal in your life, Capricorn — a flip-flop that seems equally improbable. But unlike the two I named, yours will actually unfold in the course of the next eight months. If it hasn’t already started yet, it will soon.

AQUARIUS

Jan. 20-Feb. 18:

Matteo Ricci was an Italian Jesuit priest who lived from 1552 to 1610. For his last 28 years, he worked as a missionary in China. Corresponding with his friends and family back home required a lot of patience. News traveled very slowly. Whenever he sent out a letter, he was aware that there’d be no response for seven years. What would you express about your life right now if you knew your dear ones wouldn’t learn of it until 2017? Imagine describing to them in an old-fashioned letter what your plans will be between now and then … what you hope to accomplish and how you will transform yourself. Right now is an excellent time to take inventory of your long-term future.

PISCES

Feb. 19-March 20:

The cosmos is granting you a poetic license to practice the art of apodyopsis with great relish. You know what apodyopsis is, right? It refers to the act of envisioning people naked — mentally undressing them so as to picture them in their raw state. So, yes, by all means, Pisces, enjoy this creative use of your imagination without apology. It should generate many fine ramifications. For instance, it will prime you to penetrate beneath the surface of things. It will encourage you to see through everyone’s social masks and tune in to what’s really going on in their depths. You need to do that right now.
