Morzel is a true patriot

Editor’s note: The following is an open letter to Boulder city council member Lisa Morzel regarding her affadavit described in “Judge rules against city of Boulder in Seth Brigham restraining order case,” http://bit.ly/ PnMnlM, Aug. 28. Right on, Lisa. I believe your letter to the judge regarding Seth shows you to be a true patriot. Even though we don’t agree on many issues, you have my utmost respect. Thank you.

Monsanto’s master plan

Joel Dyer’s article about Monsanto is superb (“Point of no return,” cover story, Aug. 30). But there is perhaps one aspect of their business model that is even more dire than he realizes. According to this book by Dutch biological ecologist Rob Hengeveld, the hybrid seeds sold by Monsanto must be purchased every year because the hybrids naturally disintegrate from year to year and revert to their non-hybridized state: Wasted World: How Our Consumption Challenges the Planet. Thus, Monsanto creates artificial dependency through its laboratory con-

coctions to replace what nature provides freely and plentifully. Menachem Mevashir/via Internet Thank you for a fair and balanced article, as frightening as it was. I’m glad to find a true journalist out there unafraid to tackle the important issues. Is there nothing we can do, other than through groups such as The NonGMO Project, to stop Monsanto’s assault on us, our food supply and our Earth? Jill S. Wiltberger/Cincinnati, Ohio

I read your article with interest. You have convinced me. I am going to buy some Monsanto stock. John Caldwell/via Internet

Pamela’s departure

Just picked up the Aug. 30 issue of Boulder Weekly. I read that Pamela White will be leaving. (“-30-,” Uncensored.) Our loss, hopefully her gain. As long as I’ve been reading BW, Pamela has been the voice of reason. So much so that I preferred reading BW and her editorials more than those of the

Boulder Daily Camera. I remember her story about the death of her son’s pet rabbit. I remember her description about her experience learning something about shooting at the Boulder Rifle Club, that not all firearms owners have horns, hell-bent on overthrowing the government. I remember her editorial about the barbaric practice of using restraint belts on female prisoners giving birth, and her leadership in getting legislation to stop that practice. see LETTERS Page 7

danish plan Nixon’s negative campaigns by Paul Danish

arvey and I were chowing down on an excellent plate of Alice B. Toklas fudge when there was a knock on the door. It was Richard Nixon. “Come in and pour yourself a cool one,” I said. “And pull up an empty chair.” “Don’t mind if I do,” he replied as he headed toward the fridge. “What brings you up from Purgatory?” I asked as he settled into an empty chair, which then remained empty. “I got some time off for bad behavior,” he said. “So I’m doing an election analyst gig for Fox News.” “That’s pushing the envelope on the fair and balanced thing, isn’t it?” I asked. “I suppose,” he said. “But I promised Roger Ailes that the first time Bill O’Reilly interrupted me I would grab a Civil War rifle with a bayonet, let out a blood-curdling rebel yell, leap over the table and pin his tongue to the floor.” “Well since you’re doing political commentary, I have a question,” I said. “Do you think this is going to be the dirtiest presidential election in history?” Nixon choked on his drink, spraying a mouthful of foam across the room. “You’ve got to be kidding,” he said when he finally got control of himself, tears of laughter running down his face. “The dirtiest campaign ever? You 21st century weenies have no idea what genuinely dirty campaigning is like. Just go to iTunes and listen to some of the campaign songs from after the Civil War. “My favorite is ‘The Bloody Hand of Treason’ from the Hayes-Tilden campaign,” he added brightly. “Hey, dirty campaigning didn’t end in the 19th century,” I countered. “Compared to what went on then, today’s mud-slinging is patty cake,” he said. “Because voters are better informed and more sophisticated today?” I asked. “No, it’s because today more than half the voters are women,” he said. “Girls are put off by that kind of shit. If you’re going to run a negative campaign today, you have to be more subtle.” “Your negative campaigns were about as subtle as a jack-hammer,” I said. “You’re right,” he said. “But when I took out Jerry Voorhees and Helen Gehagen Douglas, politics was still mostly a guy thing. Those campaigns wouldn’t work today.” “Do you still approve of smear campaigns?” I asked. Boulder Weekly

“Let me put it this way,” he said. “An old Tammany Hall Pol named George Washington Plunkitt once made a distinction between ‘honest graft’ and ‘dishonest graft’. He said honest graft was when ‘I seen my opportunities and I took ’em’ — by which he meant using insider information for personal gain. He defined ‘dishonest graft’ as outright theft of public funds or blackmail.” “I look at smear campaigns the same way,” Nixon said. “There are honest smears and dishonest smears. Honest smears are when you pick up on something your opponent said or did and spin it to fit your narrative — like when Obama goes after Romney on Bain or for not releasing his tax returns. Or when Romney goes after Obama for his ‘You didn’t build that’ crack or for raiding Medicare to pay for Obamacare. They may be quoting out of context and spinning like whirling Dervishes, but they start with a kernel of truth. I’m cool with that kind of negative campaigning.” “Give me an example of a dishonest smear campaign,” I said. He hesitated for a moment. “You know, the dirtiest thing I ever did in politics — other than Watergate, of course — was take out Edmund Muskie’s presidential campaign with the Canuck letter.” Harvey looked at him quizzically. “Let me refresh your memory,” he said. “The letter surfaced in early 1972 before the New Hampshire primary. It was supposedly written by a man who claimed he had heard Sen. Edmund Muskie of Maine, the front-runner for the Democratic nomination for president at the time, derisively refer to Americans of French Canadian ancestry as Canucks. It was actually written by one of my operatives. There were a lot of Americans of French-Canadian ancestry living in New Hampshire at the time. “The letter was a complete forgery. There was not a shred of truth in it. But a lot of people bought into it, and Muskie grew so frustrated trying to refute it that he cried in public. In 1972 that was enough to cause his campaign to implode. “That was a dishonest smear,” he said. “So will a dirty, negative smear campaign decide this year’s election — even if it’s a kinder, gentler smear campaign than one in the good old days?” I asked. “Look,” he said. “There have been over 50 U.S. presidential elections since 1790. When was the last clean one?” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

quotes “I dare say, before Katrina there’s no way that you would have the president and Romney here within days of one another in a storm of this relatively small magnitude — not to diminish the impact of [Isaac].” —Robert Mann, director of the Reilly Center for Media & Public Affairs at Louisiana State University, commenting on the fact that both Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama changed their schedules to visit New Orleans after Hurricane Isaac “It ... was odd. Not consistently terrible as some argued. I have no doubt some folks loved it. It may very well have actually moved some votes. But boy, did it get weird at times.” —Jim Geraghty of the National Review, discussing actor Clint Eastwood’s remarks at the Republican National Convention “It was exciting. I think any exposure during the game is good. You saw how the crowd reacted. People are getting more comfortable with the idea. Some people blog about her and there’s negative comments, some inappropriate comments. People need to get over her being a girl and just look at her abilities. That’s what she wants.” —Amy DiMeglio, the sister of Erin DiMeglio, who recently became the first girl to play quarterback in a high school regular-season game in Florida

Where are CU’s saunas?

When students voted to approve funding for the “extensive renovation and expansion” of the CU Recreation Center, they didn’t know they were voting to eliminate anything. But it’s happening: no saunas, maybe no tennis courts. Student rec center fees will more than double, to about $220 per semester. My concern is the sauna. It’s a great place to relax, warm up, sweat and socialize. Students, alumni, faculty and staff all use the saunas. What happened? Apparently the rec center wanted a “wow,” not a “now.” How else to explain eliminating popular, inexpensive saunas for cost reasons in this $63.5 million project while building a heated outdoor buffalo-shaped pool only open April to October? Here are some of their reasons and my responses: Talking point: Tight budget. Rebuttal: Really? With $63.5 million? Rec centers have saunas because they are cheap. Talking point: Student surveys set priorities. Rebuttal: None of those surveys asked

any question about saunas. The existing saunas had one of the highest rates of use (per square foot) of any area of the rec center. Talking point: Saunas are heavy energy users and prevent LEED Platinum certification. Rebuttal: Only Gold certification was required. On days when the rec center needs to be heated, all energy the sauna uses ends up heating the rec center. No heat is wasted. The heat that escapes from the sauna simply reduces the heat the center’s heating system needs to provide. And saunas are a much more efficient way for people to warm up on cold days. The alternative, a long, hot shower, is wasteful because cold water first has to be heated up, and then most of the energy ends up literally going down the drain. Talking point: It’s too late to change the project. Rebuttal: Ridiculous. Change orders are common. It just becomes more difficult and costly as time passes. A sauna is easy to add, takes up little space and only requires an electrical outlet. If you want to express an opinion, email Cheryl.Kent@Colorado.edu or cusg.vp.external@Colorado.edu. If you get a response at all, it will likely be a canned response. So, for $63.5 million CU gets a new Wreck Center. Lee Gilbert/via Internet September 6, 2012 7

Second Place in 2012 Best of Boulder!

LYIN’ PAUL RYAN Paul Ryan learned his lesson the hard way: Don’t lie to marathoners. The Republican vice presidential candidate recently boasted in an interview that he once ran a sub-three-hour marathon, an extremely good time. But marathoners, with their tight-knit, obsessive communities, sniffed something rotten and asked for proof. Soon, it was discovered that Ryan was off by an hour. A casual lie? Maybe. But perhaps since the race was in 1990 and it was the only marathon Ryan ever ran, Ryan simply forgot. Twenty-two years is long enough for some details to get muddled. But the marathon is not the only athletic feat Ryan is claiming. Former Colorado Sen. John Andrews, Richard Nixon’s one-time speechwriter and the founder of the Independence Institute, endorsed the RomneyRyan ticket in the Aug. 26 Denver Post, and then revealed that Ryan claims to have climbed 40 of our state’s 14ers. Pyramid Peak and Capitol Peak, two of the most difficult in the state, are some of his “favorites.” And because of this, we should vote for Romney, Andrews says. “Why does it matter that Paul Ryan is a mountain man, at home above timberline on the 14ers? Because there is no better index of character,” bloviates Andrews. “It tells of someone’s backbone under pressure, resourcefulness in facing adversity, and trustworthiness for power.” For more wisdom like that last kernel, check the outhouse at the base of Pyramid. As proud Coloradans, we should exercise the same sort of healthy skepticism displayed by the marathon community. For an experienced hiker, Pyramid and Capitol are boast-worthy. For a flatlander like Ryan, those two peaks should be crowning accomplishments. Surely, there must be details and stories. What year did he climb them in? What part of summer did he ascend? Who did he go with? Can we see some pictures? Until we get some proof, we’ll assume that his claim of climbing 40 14ers is just as accurate as his three-hour marathon. REGENTS ARE PEOPLE TOO A question we often hear around these parts is, “What the hell is a regent?” Well, picture Dean Vernon Wormer in Animal House. Now picture the board that oversees him. A regent is like a member of that board, a college trustee. But in the University of Colorado’s case, the members of the Board of Regents are not appointed by a governor, as is common in other states, they are elected Democrats and Republicans. Which makes for some pretty interesting politics, especially when there is public backlash against the school for, say, hypothetically speaking, something one of its faculty members writes. Now brace yourselves: You’re going to get to elect some regents this fall! Don’t feel too intimidated. We once voted for a regent candidate in the 1990s because his last name was Beer. But if you want to see a real regent in action, and you missed the best of the bunch when Regent Joe Neguse helped introduce POTUS at CU-Boulder last Sunday, check out http://youtu.be/7nczLtoSk2w. It’s a video made by Democrat Stephen Ludwig, a sitting regent who is running for re-election. His statewide race against Republican Brian Davidson is the only one we in Boulder County can vote in, since the rest are in other congressional districts. Don’t worry, not all regents are this corny. And luckily, the number of old, white Republican men on the board is gradually dwindling. If the Dems hold their current seats and Jessica Garrow of Carbondale can defeat Glenn Gallegos of Grand Junction for the 3rd District seat currently held by Republican Tillie Bishop, it would create a 5-4 Democratic majority on the board for the first time since 1980. Now that’s a change that’s long overdue. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com Boulder Weekly

he election ballot system used by Boulder County is at the center of a standoff between Secretary of State Scott Gessler and several of Colorado’s county clerks. And someone has to blink soon, since the deadline for printing ballots is fast approaching. In addition to Boulder County Clerk and Recorder Hillary Hall, the players include Marilyn Marks, an Aspen activist who has filed suit against Gessler and a number of counties for using ballots printed with information that can be used to trace the identity of voters, contrary to state law. After being confronted with the outcome of Marks’ investigation, in which she and others demonstrated how to track ballots from a June primary election in Chaffee County to the individuals who cast them, Gessler recently issued an emergency rule saying counties could no longer use the serial

numbers or bar codes in question. The rule also requires clerks to black out that information when releasing past voted ballots under the state’s open records act, in an attempt to mitigate the damage done and prevent any further tracing. Boulder County’s Hall is among the clerks who have argued against the new rule, saying the numbering system is crucial to running a smooth election. This week, Hall asserted that she can continue using the codes in question and comply with the new rule, as long the numbers are not unique and are repeated, so that they are assigned to multiple voters and cannot be tracked down to any single individual. But some, like Marks, don’t think Gessler’s rule goes far enough, because it doesn’t keep government and election workers from seeing the code and raising the possibility — however remote — that one of the most basic tenets of a sucBoulder Weekly

cessful democratic election, the confidentiality of voter identities, could be compromised.

The principle Longtime local election reform activist Paul Tiger of Longmont acknowledges that the bar codes and serial numbers on ballots may in fact help track down election flaws like those that occurred in Boulder County in 2004, but that doesn’t change the fact that they are in clear violation of state law. One of the two has to be changed, he says. The Colorado Constitution contains the following sentence: “All elections by the people shall be by ballot, and in case paper ballots are required to be used, no ballots shall be marked in any way whereby the ballots can be identified as the ballot of the person casting it.” According to Marks, maintaining the confidentiality of how one voted is crucial to avoiding voter fraud, which has reared its head over the course of U.S. history in the form of things like bribes and coercion for votes. The state’s constitutional language around such ballot secrecy dates back to the late 1880s and 1890s. Marks notes that the constitution was even amended by the citizens of Colorado in 1946 to remove the rights of judges to inspect ballot codes (which until that point had been sealed under opaque glue under one folded corner so that any tampering was readily evident) in cases of suspected election fraud. “We were saying, ‘We’re willing to take the chance of fraud here and there,’” she says of the constitutional amendment. “Even a guy in black robes cannot know how you vote. Now Clerk Hall and others have taken us back to before 1892.” That 1946 amendment predates Colorado’s open records laws, which Marks says makes her case that the citizens were initially and primarily concerned about government access to voting records, an issue that she claims Gessler’s rule does not address. “It’s not just the public they’re talking about, it’s the insiders,” she says. Marks goes so far as to assert that the language in the constitution even precludes voters from being able to identify their own ballot later by jotting down the serial number. Conceivably, she says, voters could provide that number to an election worker or canvass board member, who could track down their ballot as evidence that they voted the way they were coerced or bribed into doing. In Chaffee County, Marks credits Mark Arnold, a Buena Vista chimney sweep, with cracking the code by adding four digits to a data matrix printed on each Republican primary ballot stub and envelope and using that information to find the voter’s name. “It was very easy to do,” she says. “We all got very nervous about it when we realized how easy it was to go back and find out how someone voted.” Her group, Citizen Center, filed a restraining order on Aug. 17 against Gessler, Hall and the clerks of Chaffee and Eagle counties.

Secretary of state’s office responds Gessler’s emergency rule was issued three days later. It says counties may only use a “unique or sequential number” (or a bar code representing that number) on the removable stubs that some counties use to disassociate a voted ballot from any identifiable information — while still being able to make sure no voters or ballots were counted more than once. In what Marks calls an apparent acknowledgment that past See BALLOTS Page 12

office, told Boulder Weekly that county clerks have said they need the serial numbers and bar codes to tabulate results and help ensure that no votes are counted more than once. They have also repeatedly assured Gessler that the codes are randomized and can’t be traced back to voters, Cole says, but Marks’ discovery disproves that assertion, prompting the emergency rule. “To her credit, she did figure it out,” he says of Marks’ inquiry. When asked what will happen if county clerks don’t comply with the rule, Cole says, “Ultimately, we would take them to court and ask a judge to force them to comply.” He says counties will be expected to use a line of zeroes in the area where the current serial number is printed, adding that there are alternatives that counties can use, such as group12 September 6, 2012

Dozens of Colorado counties use the same Hart Ballot Now voting system employed by Boulder County, but Marks says a couple have opted to suppress the serial numbers in question. She says there are several ways to avoid voter fraud without using the codes. Other counties, including Denver and Jefferson, don’t use the Hart system. In Marks’ home county, Pitkin, a stub containing the ballot number is torn off before the ballot is inserted into the ballot box, separating the ballot itself from any specific voter information. It gives election workers a way to see who voted, but not how they voted. Marks estimates that Boulder County’s Hall hires between 1,000 and 2,000 election workers and volunteers who take an oath before getting access to the ballots, “and we’re not supposed to worry about it,” she says. “It’s dangerous in the hands of the government.” Marks acknowledges that the ballot serial numbers are not included in Boulder County voter records, but she says they are part of what is sent to the company that prints the ballots, and those files can be traced back to individual voters. “In counties one after another, including Boulder, you can bust out the system and find out which ballot went to which voter,” she says. “This is a huge potential meltdown for November.” Marks adds that Hall’s office has been “absolutely obstructionist in turning over their voted ballot files.” The edges of the ballots that she got from Boulder County were cropped to eliminate all of the identifying numbers and bar codes. (House Bill 1036, a piece of legislation passed last spring that allows clerks to withhold ballots in certain cases and time periods — contrary to a 2011 court ruling making them open records — was opposed by Marks’ group and others, but supported by the county clerks, including Hall.)

Hall’s reply Local election officials responded to a draft of the emergency rule in an Aug. 17 letter from Deputy Boulder County Attorney David Hughes to Gessler. In that letter, Hughes says Hall “believes that adoption of the rule in its proposed form is contrary to state law, that the draft Rule conflicts with other Election Rules, that the rule is unnecessary and overbroad, and that it has the potential to disrupt the 2012 General Election.” In an interview this week, Hall told BW that she still has concerns about whether Gessler had the authority to issue such an emergency rule, especially so close to the general elecSee BALLOTS Page 14

tion, but she is confident that Boulder County’s system already complies with the rule. She says the numbers her office uses are neither unique nor sequential. Not only is it possible for multiple voters to receive ballots with the same number, groups of ballots are generated by more than one machine and then shuffled at least twice — by county election staff, not an outside vendor — so that they are not in any particular order. “It doesn’t have to be either/or,” Hall says of the possibility of having both a numbering system and confidentiality. “Of course, anonymity is our top priority, and has been. The issues that happened in Eagle and Chaffee counties, they use the system very differently than we do, and we don’t have those issues. We were trying to get [Gessler] to look at the differences, as opposed to making a blanket emergency rule in a very short time period.” She adds that Boulder County used the same approach during the primary, so there is no need to worry about past local votes being traced. “We’ve never had a ballot tied back to a voter that has been brought to our attention in Boulder County since we started using this system,” Hall says. When asked whether she was surprised when she heard about the ballottracing in Chaffee County, she replies, “Very.” But she says the same thing won’t happen here. “There will be no unique numbers,” Hall explains. “We will be looping the numbers so that multiple voters will have the same number on their ballot. … We do believe fully that it is in compliance with the emergency rule.” When asked if the secretary of state has confirmed that Boulder County’s system complies with the rule, Hall says, “They’ve received it, they have not followed up with it, so we’re proceeding with our intended plan.” When informed that the secretary of state’s office expects clerks to use zeroes for all of their ballot numbers, Hall replies, “We have been in contact with them, and we have not heard anything contrary at this point, so we believe we have a solution that they haven’t thought of, which is not surprising. We’re the ones who spend all the time with the system, and we’ve been looking at this issue since January of this year.” Hall says the numbering system is important because it allows election workers to easily locate a ballot when there is a problem scanning it. “Imagine the whole stack has the same number on it, and you have to go figure out which ballot the system is rejecting,” she explains. “That’s why we want ‘unique enough,’ like five or six in a batch is not a big deal. When every-

thing in the batch is the same, that’s a really slow, manual process to figure out what’s going on.” The issue must be settled one way or another soon, since the printing of Boulder County ballots begins the week of Sept. 17.

Other precautions

Hall adds that Boulder County has a host of other checks and balances in place, besides the numbering system, to halt election fraud, including a signature verification system for mail ballots and security measures that make photocopied ballots readily detectable. She acknowledges that there seems to be conflicting guidance in state law and election rules (she and Hughes argued in their Aug. 17 letter to Gessler that one of the state’s rules actually requires clerks to use a unique identification number on ballots). But the priority for now, Hall says, should be how to conduct this election smoothly, saving bigger questions for 2013. “Having counties completely change how they’ve done things this close to a major election has its own risks and problems it can create, and so we are happy that our solution will allow us to maintain the efficiencies that we’ve gained and still ensure that ballots are anonymous, as they have been,” she says. “To make major changes like this to people’s processes in a county of our size, with multiple-page ballots, you’re introducing a lot of unknowns.” Hall also admits that her ballot-tabulating system, which was purchased in 2004, has its limitations. “Right now, we’re in the mode of how do we most effectively use what’s already been purchased, because the system we want hasn’t been created yet,” she says. Still, the question remains: Why, if Boulder County’s system does not allow for tracing a ballot to its voter, would there be any need for Hall to redact the serial numbers when faced with an open records request? “There is no compelling reason to release ballots with barcodes and serial numbers attached,” Hall replies. “The purpose of releasing images of voted ballots to the public — a policy I support — is to let interested parties review the voter selections and ballot content to look for problems. It’s not to let people try to figure out whose ballot is whose. Redacting this information is a good practice. It’s an extra layer of protection to ensure voter anonymity.” Of course, another compelling reason for not removing the identifying marks before releasing ballots may be that it could allow people to test whether, in fact, individual voters can be traced.

eth Brigham, whose outbursts punctuate many a Boulder City Council meeting, may soon be addressing city council members as “defendants — and Lisa Morzel.” City spokesman Patrick von Keyserling says the city attorney’s office “does not plan to settle” with Brigham before his deadline of noon on Friday, Sept. 7. If that deadline passes, Brigham’s attorney David Lane says he will proceed with a federal lawsuit against the city council and several members individually for violating Brigham’s First Amendment rights. “The city is not interested in a settlement,” says von Keyserling, Boulder’s communication director. “They have not been served by Mr. Brigham’s attorney for a lawsuit, and the city’s position is that any lawsuit would be a frivolous lawsuit.” Brigham and Lane are threatening a lawsuit after the city enforced a temporary restraining order against the political gadfly, keeping him from city council members and municipal buildings. District Judge David Archuleta removed the restraining order and shot down the request for a permanent one Aug. 28. To Lane and Brigham, that’s evidence of a violation of Brigham’s right to free speech. Brigham says he and Lane have a settlement figure in mind, though Lane says they don’t. In the past Lane has said that Boulder’s previous settlement with Brigham, $10,000, won’t be enough this time. Brigham does say he would lower his asking price if the city took other steps, including removing city officials. “I would settle for much less than I thought we should get if [Boulder City Attorney] Tom Carr was removed,” he says. In a letter to Carr, Lane specifically said city council member Lisa Morzel wouldn’t be named as a defendant, though other council members would be, after she submitted an affidavit that supported Brigham and opposed the restraining order. If Brigham wins in court — or if the city switches positions and reaches a settlement — Lane says the taxpayers are on the hook. “I’m sure the city would end up paying — taxpayers would foot the bill for the city council’s wrongdoing,” he says. Lane acknowledges a Bureau of Justice Statistics statement that a large majority of federal civil rights lawsuits end in a loss for the plaintiff, but says he’s careful not to pursue litigation unless he’ll win. “After a trial, maybe they have a 70 Boulder Weekly

boulderganic Conventional farming results in the application of 1.5 billion tons of pesticides in the U.S. each year. That’s approximately five pounds for every person in the country. Even the authors of the Stanford study acknowledge that there is no way to determine the impact of pesticides on our health because there is not enough research on the subject.

Media coverage misleading on Stanford’s organic vs. conventional food study by Joel Dyer

f you only read the national newspaper headlines or caught the discussion on the Today Show or its other morning peers, you probably came away with the impression that a new Stanford University study released on Tuesday concluded that there are no health benefits to eating organic food compared to eating conventional food. It’s a pretty sensational headline. Unfortunately, it’s also completely wrong. The Stanford study found that there is approximately the same amount of vitamin A in a conventionally grown carrot as there is in an organically grown carrot. Now apply this to nutritional values of all food crops and meats and you have the conclusions reached by the Stanford study. Hardly groundbreaking. An accurate headline would have read

something like, “Stanford study finds that organic and conventionally grown crops have approximately the same level of nutrients.” Accurate, but not likely to garner much readership, even on a slow news day. So instead of stating the facts, the vast majority of members of the national press presented reports claiming that there are no health benefits to eating organic foods. Had the media reports been accurate, it would have been extremely convenient timing for a conventional food industry that is reeling from the market share it’s lost to the exploding organic food industry, which has grown from $1 billion in annual sales in 1990 to more than $34 billion in 2011. In addition, a study finding that there are no health benefits from organic food would also have been very helpful to a

conventional food industry that is facing the prospect of having to label GMOs in its products come November if California passes its labeling ballot initiative as reported last week in BW (see “Monsanto’s point of no return,” Aug. 30 edition). Surely it is only a coincidence that the near entirety of the national news media simultaneously and misleadingly announced on Tuesday, Sept. 4, that the Stanford study had found that organic foods are more expensive yet no healthier than conventionally raised food. A cynic might point out that the conventional food industry is one of the largest advertising segments for all national media, including print, digital and television, and that distorting See BOULDERGANIC Page 18

the Stanford study findings could have been the result of pressure being exerted on the news media by its major advertisers. That’s what a cynic might say. We’ll just say that here is what the Stanford study actually found. As stated above, the nutrients found in organic and conventional crops and meats are approximately the same. But consumers have a 30 percent greater chance of being contaminated by pesticides when eating conventional produce as compared to organic produce. As to whether this contamination is safe or not, Crystal SmithSpangler, one of the Stanford study’s authors, told Flora Malein of the Guardian: “This study is not able to give consumers hard information about More than 90,000 people in the U.S. will suffer from MRSA infection this year, and more than 18,000 will die as a result.

sumption from eating conventional foods is 31.68 mg per person in the U.S. per year. High-end estimates range up to a half-pound of pesticide consumption per person in the U.S. per year. Some studies have found that as much as 80 percent of conventionally raised meat coming from animals being fed antibiotics to increase growth contain an antibiotic-resistant bacteria that can be a health risk to humans if meat is undercooked. Organic food adherents also choose to eat organic because of the detrimental impacts that conventional farming has on the environment. Conventional farming now uses five pounds of pesticides per person, per year in the U.S. That’s 1.5 billion pounds of pesticides being applied in our country. Considering the lack of studies on the impacts of this pesticide on human health, as pointed out by the Stanford researchers, it’s safe to bet that it isn’t real healthy for any of us. In addition, organic consumers choose to bypass conventional foods because doing so helps to support local economies in many cases and at least helps to combat the monopolization of the conventional food industry that exists today. Research by rural sociologists has, for decades, shown that people in places where many small farms exist as opposed to large industrial operations are mentally and physically healthier. So while it may be accurate to say that organic and conventional crops contain similar nutrients, it is completely incorrect to say that eating organic food is no healthier than eating conventionally raised food. It’s amazing how misleading the news media can be when its advertising dollars are on the line. Buyer beware. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

ne look at the Shark’s Fin on India’s Mount Meru and it’s not hard to see how the arrowhead feature could dig into a climber’s mind. But that one look would be only a part of the story of why that particular piece of rock has haunted mountaineer Conrad Anker for two decades, and what compelled him and his teammates Jimmy Chin and Renan Ozturk to return to the mountain three years after an attempt at its northeast face sent them limping home. During their 2008 push to climb a mixed rock and ice route up a 3,000-foot granite buttress — which had turned back 20 previous attempts in half as many years — a storm trapped the three climbers on a portaledge at 17,500 feet on the side of the rock. When the weather broke, Anker looked up at a face the wind was still brushing snow from, and called it not that bad.

They set off in -25 F temperatures, only to have to turn away “within shouting distance of the summit” or face spending a night above 20,000 feet, risking severe frostbite. “We spent 19 days on the climb the first time and we only had eight days of food,” Ozturk says. “People came back in wheelchairs and couldn’t walk for weeks, so it was pretty traumatic.” But the story of that attempt provides just the opening of the 23-minute short film The Shark’s Fin, which will screen in the Reel Rock Tour that opens in Boulder on Sept. 13.

But Anker had Meru in mind for 23 years. His climbing mentor discussed doing the route when Anker was an up-and-coming expedition climber, but that mentor, Mugs Stump, died on Denali before he was able to climb the peak. Two years after their initial summit push, Anker called to reassemble the team. Then, just six months before they were to make a second attempt at the Shark’s Fin, a skiing accident in the Grand Tetons sent Ozturk to the hospital with a depressed skull fracture and a broken neck. When Anker visited him in the hospital, Ozturk said he still wanted to go to Meru. No one had the heart to tell him he probably wouldn’t be able to make the trip. He was immobilized for weeks after the March 2011 accident, and in May crawled on to a stationary bike and started pedaling. Early shots of him exercising show him lifting weights and working out in stiff and tender movements, his neck held still. When he returned to rock climb on the Flatirons, the Boulder

resident wore his neckbrace up the trail to the rock. The allure of the mountain was what drew him back, Ozturk says. The Ganges, the sacred river that cuts through India and that millions of Indians visit each year determined to cleanse their sins, has its headwaters at Mount Meru, and Indians consider the peak the center of the universe. “The place was really special,” Ozturk says of his motivation to return. “And the mountain is so iconic and beautiful, and the friendship of wanting to finish what we had started together — all those things combined.” Ozturk suited up and headed back to the peak six months after his injury. “I second-guessed my decision the entire time,” Ozturk says. “I made the decision but there was no way of knowing what was going to happen, so there was a lot of fear and doubt the entire time.” On top of climbing, Ozturk would also be filming the trip. “It’s a huge extra burden,” Ozturk says. “You have to carry extra weight and you have to be multitasking, thinking about being safe but then also capturing key parts of the story, and then my condition, I wasn’t really as strong as I normally am, so it beat me down to try to film. But it’s also something that I love to do, so there was no way I wasn’t going to at least try.” Ozturk says he’s glad to see the story in this year’s

offerings at Reel Rock, which screened in more than 290 places last year to 65,000 audience members and raised $15,000 for non-profits. But he’s also got a bigger picture in mind — namely, Meru, a feature-length documentary that will tell the whole story of the Shark’s Fin and the men who tackled it. The Shark’s Fin is a nuanced, character-driven story that dips into Anker’s personal history as a climber and how his ongoing projects occasionally put tension on his family, and his relationship with his wife, whose first husband, Alex Lowe, was Anker’s partner until his death in an avalanche while the two were on an expedition together. But Chin, one of the leading founding figures from the Camp 4 Collective, is given the haiku version of a character in the cut. Meru will fill in greater, deeper back stories for all the characters and work to make a climb like that look less insane and more understandable. “We’ve gotten feedback from a lot of Academy Award-winning directors and different people who think that it has legs beyond the outdoor world, and that’s something we’re excited about because it will portray climbing in a light that we’re proud of,” Ozturk says. “We think we have a film that could go into the mainstream that shows climbing for what we see it as.” But while the work on Meru continues, Reel Rock gives a taste of what’s to come — with a beer garden to boot. This year’s tour debuts at the Chautauqua Auditorium, a jump up in size from the usual location for Reel Rock, the Boulder Theater, a move that is designed to let more people see the premier. The film line-up also includes The Dura Dura, about 19-year-old Adam Ondra challenging Chris Sharma to set up the first 5.15c; Wide Boys, on the Brits who come to American soil solely to tackle off-width cracks, including a first ascent of the horizontal offwidth Century Crack; and Honnold 3.0, about free soloist Alex Honnold’s preparation, mental and otherwise, for the Yosemite Triple, climbing Mt. Watkins, El Cap and Half Dome in 19 hours. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

Jon Kedrowski

fter weathering tent pole-breaking winds and a mostly sleepless night at 14,443 feet on the summit of Mount Elbert, Jon Kedrowski and Chris Tomer awoke to an idea: Could they sleep on the summits of every 14er in the state? “We were just sort of training that day, and we said, can we do this 55 more times? Is there room on the 14ers for this? Can we do it in just one summer?” Tomer says. “We kind of both are just dreamers in the sense of we come up with these big ideas and just see if we can do it.” The two were roommates at Valparaiso University and have been ON THE BILL: Jon hiking together in Kedrowski and Chris Tomer will be speaking Colorado for more than a on Sleeping on the decade. Kedrowski comSummits and mountain meteorology at 6:30 pleted all the 14ers while p.m. at the Boulder growing up in Colorado, REI, 1789 28th St., Boulder, 303-583-9970. and had started to wonder about new ways to experience them. “When I was climbing mountains, basically for training, I started sleeping on a couple to prepare myself for going overseas … and I noticed there was always a little rock shelter, a little spot where you could maybe set up a tent,” he says. “So that was kind of how I decided, I think you could probably camp on all of them.” When you’ve summitted peaks like Russia’s Mount Elbrus (18,356 feet), Chile’s Aconcagua (22,841 feet) and Nepal’s Mount Everest (29,029 feet), it makes sense that you would have to do something new to keep 14ers from losing their ability to intimidate. Kedrowski started the project on June 23, 2011, and went until Sept. 28. Although there are only 55 mountains over 14,000 feet tall in

Sleepers at altitude

Colorado, the attempt to sleep on all of them had Kedrowski climbing the equivalent of 73 14ers to catch the right conditions. Tomer completed about 12 of them with him. His work schedule allowed for less time away than Kedrowski, who was an assistant professor at Central Washington University-Ellensburg and could spend his summer off in Colorado. Kedrowski started on easier 14ers, like Missouri and Torreys, before taking on Little Bear and Capitol, which he says were the two most difficult ones. Tomer says he made a point of coming along for the more challenging peaks. Sometimes, Kedrowski says, he would have linked five or six peaks and Tomer’s presence provided a helpful spark. The conventional wisdom is to start for the summit of a 14er before dawn and be off the peak before afternoon storms roll in. “It’s tough to wrap your head around the idea that we weren’t climbing in the mornings, we were climbing in the afternoons, in the afternoon storms, and you know lightning is the number one weather killer in Colorado, and that was the one thing we had to do,” Tomer says. “To make the summit in time for sunset we had to climb through the storms.” When Tomer couldn’t come along to help read clouds and weather patterns, Kedrowski

would call and ask for updates about weather systems he could see. Tomer, a meteorologist on Denver’s KDVR Fox-31 and KWGN Channel 2, would zoom in on the weather radar and coach Kedrowski on when to go up, when to wait and when to run for lower ground. “There were a lot of times I’d sit up there and could watch the storm go by at eye level and lightning within a couple miles, but I knew it wasn’t going to hit me,” Kedrowski says. Mountain storms maintain some of their unpredictability, though, and Kedrowski just escaped a lightning strike at the top of Mount Harvard that left his tent with holes in it and his headlamp charred. The storm did clear, though, and he spent the night there. “It was difficult, but I felt like we took calculated risks during the project,” Kedrowski says.

Jon Kedrowski on the summit of North Maroon

For all the hikers’ searching for windows of nice weather, 14ers have a mind of their own — and a climate of their own, too. “Once you’re up there, it’s cold, and once the sun goes down it gets cold fast, it’s windy, and a number of times I remember waking up to fog, freezing fog or wind or even some snow flurries,” Tomer says. “It’s a different world weather-wise up there.” They packed light, often leaving stoves behind in favor of taking food like a pizza ordered along the way. While Kedrowski was on Little Bear, the food stash in his truck was raided by a bear. It tore up some blankets, threw peanut butter pretzels and

gummy bears all over the interior and left a trail of gummy bears into the woods — but not a trace remained of a Costco-sized bag of powered protein drink mix. They’ve written the experiences up in a book, Sleeping on the Summits, and will be presenting that book at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 7 at REI, 8 p.m. Sept. 20 at Neptune and later this fall at the Boulder Book Store.

e’ve neither burned out nor faded away. There must be a third option where you just keep plugging,” offers jovial Old 97’s frontman Rhett Miller. Were that only the case they’d probably still be happy, but in fact, two decades in, the band’s enjoying a creative renaissance. They survived a tough stretch in the mid aughts where the Austin quartet — still boasting all its original members — came close to breaking up. They not only recovered, but assembled as outstanding a collection of songs as they’ve written since the late ’90s. It spans two albums, The Grant Theatre, Volumes I & II, released eight months apart in ’10 and ’11. “There was a minute where it seemed pretty touch and go, but we weathered the see OLD 97’S Page 26

storm, and I think it made us stronger,” he says. The band’s blend of country twang, power pop hooks and garage swagger landed them in the same berth as forbearers The Replacements and ’90s contemporaries the Bottle Rockets. Their first two albums have their moments, and Miller’s wry cleverness peeks out from the lyrics, but it was their major label Elektra debut, 1997’s Too Far To Care, that put them on the map. For the present tour they’re playing that album from start to finish. Like Grand Theatre, there was something cooking when they wrote those songs. Miller describes the time as “magical.” “It hit right before cynicism crept in. It hit us right when we were at the peak of our confidence and youthfulness, and everything was clicking,” he says. “That same thing could be said about the Grand Theatre record, where we had kind of come out of the other side of this major label system’s collapse and we’re still here. So all these records in, we get to keep doing this? We get to support our family by playing these songs? It’s ridiculous and awesome.” Miller’s witnessed the maturing of an alt-country movement that’s grown exponentially over the course of his career. These days you can’t throw a ball in a room of musicians without hitting a half-dozen beardos with a

banjo or a fiddle. But while he acknowledges the growth, he doesn’t think things have changed that much. “When we started doing this there was a real honest-to-God movement which now I think is a much bigger movement,” Miller says. “It felt like there was a real cultural force to this thing we were also ‘kind of ’ doing. But so many people were doing it in the most hackneyed Hee-Haw country way. It’s not like it’s become — it started off — schlocky. It’s such a fine line between being authentically rootsy and Americana and being Hee Haw.” The band’s three-album run at Elektra concluded in 2001 with its fifth album, Satellite Rides. Miller’s solo career and the uncertainty of stepping back to the indies heightened tensions for a time. “It was a growing pains kind of time for us,” Miller explains. “The label system that we’d been a part of was starting to deteriorate. I wanted to make a solo record, just because I had all these songs the band kept turning down, and Elektra really wanted to put it out. So they put out my solo record instead of a 97’s record.” Two middling independent Old 97’s albums followed — 2004’s Drag It Up (please don’t) and 2008’s Blame It On Gravity — but they worked it out and with Grand Theatre rediscovered their

groove. They’re not about to let up. “The next record we’re talking about making is either going to be a bunch of my songs and [co-songwriter Murry Hammond]’s songs that sound like the Nuggets comps or actual covers of old ’60s garage rock songs,” Miller says. “That garage rock thing has always been a part of our sound. It got amped up the last couple records, and it’s not going away for at least an album or two.” Miller won’t deny waxing a little nostalgic playing the album that helped make the band 15 years ago. Especially when every night he reaches “Nite Club,” the spunky little paean that threatens, “I just might get drunk tonight and burn the nightclub down.” Miller laughs at the song’s mention. “It really is all these years later and the same nightclub’s followed me around and it did steal my youth. It turns out what were just silly jokes were prescient,” he says. “The line every night that’s gotten more and more weird to me is the line about ‘telephones making strangers out of lovers.’ I look out at the audience and they’re not looking at the person next to them, much less me. Or they might be looking at me but it’s on their viewfinder. Weird. It is what it is. You can’t fight city hall.” Forget it, Rhett. It’s Chinatown. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com Boulder Weekly

ith its first major label release, 2008’s Remind Me in 3 Days, The Knux immediately got touted as one of the most innovative and different-sounding new acts in hip-hop. There was only one problem with that sort of talk. The two brothers that The Knux make up The Knux — Kentrell “Krispy” Lindsey and Alvin “Joey” Lindsey — don’t consider themselves a hip-hop act at all. In fact, in a mid-November phone interview, Krispy says he and his brother don’t have much use for labels at all. “We’re just artists,” he says, before drawing a comparison to describe his vision for The Knux. “I mean, Prince did all of it. Prince did the super, super [rocking] stuff with guitar solos. He did so much that was R&B. He did soulful stuff. He was a funky guy. So we saw ourselves the same way, I guess … or even as a band like Radiohead that would change every album. We’re like them because we see ourselves as artists.” The Knux’s new CD, Eraser, should further the idea that Krispy and Joey don’t want to be tied to any particular musical style. The first CD had a strong hip-hop element, but it was liberally cross-pollinated with soul (“Daddy’s Little Girl”), funk (“Parking Lot”) and rock (“Bang! Bang!” and “Roxanne”). The Knux also made considerable use of electronic textures and instrumentation on songs like “The List” and “The Train” — a sonic signature that set the group apart from the vast majority of hip-hop acts. But Eraser is another animal altogether. This new CD brings out the rock side of The Knux’s sound — to the point where it’s difficult to consider Eraser a hip-hop album at all. The programmed rhythms and electronics and hip-hop elements (including rapped vocals) of Remind Me in 3 Days are still there, but they play second fiddle to the rock sound that defines Eraser. That much is apparent with the first

vocal track on the CD, “She’s So Up,” an energetic tune that is driven by its hooky guitar riffs and harmony-laden chorus. Several other songs, such as “Maniac,” “Beautiful Liar” and “Razorblade,” also bring some big riffs and plenty of catchy hooks. “This is the kind of record we’ve always wanted to make,” Krispy says. “Even when we were like teenagers we always thought of making this kind of record, a very heavy, guitar-heavy record, where you can feel the guitar and not just hear it. … It’s very aggressive and it’s guitar-heavy, man, live drums. That’s how we sound live, so I felt like why not make a record where we could play all of the songs live?” The ability to move easily between musical styles didn’t happen by accident for the Lindsey brothers. In fact, it’s an outgrowth of how they were raised growing up in a rough-and-tumble area of New Orleans. Their music-loving mother made sure her sons experienced a range of musical styles growing up, including funk, R&B, soul, pop and rock. Along the way, Krispy and Joey also got well acquainted with rap and hip-hop. Early on, they knew they wanted to not just write and play music, but to have it be their career. After Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, the brothers headed for Los Angeles, and it didn’t take long for the duo to get noticed. After flirting with signing with Atlantic Records in 2005, the Knux

signed to Interscope after getting the label’s assurance that the group would have creative control over their music. That sort of artistic freedom is apparent on Eraser, which, like the first CD, was essentially self-produced and written by the two brothers, and clearly takes some commercial risks by playing up the rock influences of the Lindsey brothers. The actual sound of the music isn’t all that’s different about Eraser. Joey says he took a different approach with his songwriting for the second album. “A lot of it was written on an acoustic guitar,” he says. “Before it would be [started] on programming and then we would write a song [around the rhythm track]. But a lot of the new songs were written on acoustic guitar. “Personally, I think songs just sound better on acoustic,” Joey says. “If it doesn’t sound good on acoustic, it’s probably not a very good song.” Considering one of the goals on Eraser was to do songs that could be recreated live, it’s no surprise that Krispy feels the live lineup (guitarist/ vocalist Joey and keyboardist/vocalist Krispy are joined by a drummer, bassist and second keyboardist), coupled with some triggered sounds, can bring The Knux’s music to life on stage. “A lot of bands just have never had the same feel as the songs on the album,” he says. “So we decided to make an album that would sound good live when we played it live.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com September 6, 2012 29

Proceeds from the fundraiser will go towards buying a high-horsepower helicopter for the organization’s Frisco base. “Those funds raised will be used to offset the cost of a replacement helicopter for our Summit [County] base,” Meyer says. “And it’s very similar to the ones we already have, but it has about 20 percent more horsepower. So for those high-altitude flights, especially in the warmer weather, we’ll have just a little more of a performance margin there when we’re doing mountain rescues there at 13,000, 14,000 feet.” The fact that the list of ransomees includes prominent attorneys, business leaders, developers, and a radio DJ, is something of which Saunders is painfully, selfdeprecatingly aware. “Somebody introduced the idea that along with all these prominent Denver business people, they’ll have a loser like me also get a shot,” Saunders says. “But unlike a lot of these Richie Riches, these businesspeople, I can’t just make two phone calls and say, ‘Hey Lars, give me $75,000.’” So he is taking his call to action to the airwaves, entreating listeners to give a few dollars to the cause. As of press time, he had around $1,500. Oil executive Duncan has raised more than $90,000. “My fear is that all these prominent Denver business people, lawyers, etc., are going to be taken off the mountain immediately, and after two weeks they’re just going to find my skeleton up there,” Saunders says. But he’s proud to put in his hat with the business elite, especially for a good cause. “It’s just been a spectacular 40 years, and I wish them at least 40 more years. … It’s good to know when you see that helicopter flying above your head that maybe you’re part of that, you chipped in 10 bucks or 20 bucks, that maybe I’m part of that great Colorado tradition.” Visit bit.ly/RockyMtRansom to donate to any of the ransomees.

screen Rednecks and white lightning ‘Lawless’ does its job, but goes down rough  by Ryan Syrek

cuff him, scrape him, buff him up; nobody is going to buy Shia LaBeouf as a country boy. He has a face built for Instagram and his posture is that of a narcissist demanding bottle service at a trendy club. Even though he plays the least burly of the Bondurant boys, a real-life trio of brothers who ran moonshine during prohibition, nobody is buying what he is desperately giving away. Thus, it’s a minor miracle that Lawless mostly works anyway. Set in 1930s Virginia, Lawless is kind of a redneck fairy tale: Three boys thumb their nose at the law, get rich off the land and love the hell out of their kin. The leader of the pack is Forrest (Tom Hardy), an unassuming mountain of a man who prefers grunting to speaking. He and his brothers, Jack (LaBeouf ) and Howard ( Jason Clarke), have become legends in Franklin County, as rumor has it they can’t be killed. Willing to put that legend to the test is Special Deputy Charlie Rakes (Guy Pearce), brought from Chicago to bust moonshining heads (or at least muscle in on their action). When Forrest won’t give Rakes

a taste, it becomes a war, with Jack’s young love interest, Bertha (Mia Wasikowska), and Forrest’s lady friend, Maggie ( Jessica Chastain), caught in the crossfire. Lawless eventually settles just outside of great, having blown past “acceptable” and “decent” before finally taking up residence in “pretty good.” Director John Hillcoat and writer Nick Cave (yes, that Nick Cave) managed something akin to a “noir western.” It’s Chinatown by way of the Pony Express. Hardy is the glue that holds this semi-mess together, with Pearce shaving his eyebrows and slicking his hair into demented cartoonish villainhood that is eminently watchable. Oh, and dames don’t come more troubled

or tempting than Chastain’s Maggie, a redhead poured into dresses that pop with color against a bland background. And it all almost adds up, but it’s just a little Shia of perfect. LaBeouf ’s performance is tone deaf, not enough time is spent with the most interesting characters (Forrest and Maggie) and huge subplots are dropped like a hot pistol. Gary Oldman plays a tommy gun-toting mobster … for like two scenes. The Blu-Ray will inevitably feature the entirety of his aborted storyline. While Hillcoat does have an eye for revolver and shotgun-based action and sparse scenery, it’s outweighed by his bloodlust. His first film, The Proposition, had more blood in the mud than can almost be imagined, so Lawless may feel like he’s taking it down a notch. Still, throats are opened, neck growths are popped and Forrest’s brass knuckles sure do crack a lot. There are moments when Lawless is almost thrilling, when it is definitely well acted (as in, whenever Chastain is on screen) and when it comes close to feeling complete. Maybe one more draft of the script (keep making music, Mr. Cave), one more round of edits (come on, Mr. Hillcoat) or one different actor in a key role (exit stage left, Mr. LaBeouf ) we’d be talking about Lawless as a summer surprise and not a near-miss.

Chinese art attack

‘Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry’ is a moving middle finger  by Ryan Syrek

t’s impossible not to watch Ai Weiwei, dubbed by some as the “Chinese Andy Warhol,” tell his motherland to eff right on off without thinking one thing first and foremost: That dude has got some Buddha-sized stones. Although Ai may possess the street-art cred and pop culture popularity of Warhol, paintings of a Campbell’s soup can never inspired fear in the heart of an oppressive regime; oh, and nobody ever gave Warhol a beating that made his brain bleed for challenging authority. Documentarian Alison Klayman’s immersive biography, Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry, is stunning in its revelation of a man with the potential to dynamically change a rigid nation and none of the haughty pomposity that should accompany such potential. Seemingly nothing Boulder Weekly

was off limits to Klayman, who managed to detail elements both personal (he has a young son with a woman other than his wife) and public (his savage encounter with Chinese police). The end result is the portrait of an activist with the grace of an artist. Beginning with Ai’s inclusion on designing “The Bird’s Nest” for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the genius, seemingly disguised in the body of a pizza delivery man, rocketed to international acclaim. He was one of the first to fully embrace social media within China, leveraging his burgeoning fame to hold those in power accountable. When the government failed to release the number of children killed due to

shoddy, or “tofu,” construction during the Sichuan earthquake, Ai spent months networking to arrive at a number. And once there, he created a sprawling monument composed of more than 5,000 colorful backpacks. You do not do that in China. Ai recorded the night the authorities finally came for him; his agony in the wake of being brutally struck in the head was eventually tweeted to thousands of followers. The film follows not only his response to this incident, but his astoundingly humble reaction to becoming a man fans call “Ai God.” In Ai there is a sort of Americanized resistance that is familiarly charming.

Klayman’s unobtrusive, uncontrolled narrative endears her central figure so much that when the boisterous, no-holds-barred hero is muted by torture from government officials, it’s genuinely heartbreaking. Never Sorry is fascinating, which is the adjective for which documentaries aspire. But it isn’t quite transcendent, stumbling a bit with boring Art 101 history segments about Ai’s early years and showcasing a few too many talking heads we care nothing about telling us what is already evident to us without their “expert opinions.” Still, there is a lot to ponder, from the fact that Ai no longer actually makes the art himself, he has the work done for him by others, to what could possibly be next for a mostly ordinary guy with the weight of billions on his back. —This review first appeared in The Reader of Omaha, Neb.

Steve Redzikowski

At home with Boulder chefs by Hayley Proctor

hefs from some of Boulder’s most popular restaurants seem to agree that when it comes to cooking at home, the only rules required are simplicity and good, fresh ingredients. Take Steve Redzikowski, executive chef at Oak at Fourteenth, for example. From freshly made pasta to basic quesadillas, his philosophy proves that cooking a proper meal at home doesn’t need to be complicated. “I like to eat super simple. Roasted potatoes, onions, creamed corn … really easy, simple stuff. I’m not into anything too over-the-top,” says Redzikowski. “Just start with nice ingredients and kind of let them just speak for themselves.” When at work, Redzikowski doesn’t always have time to make any sort of meal — for himself, that is — but he

Boulder Weekly

does often rely on a very simple sandwich he makes with sliced tomato, basil, olive oil and sea salt on a house-made baguette. David Engel, executive chef at The Sink, shares a similar philosophy. “For the most part, I try to keep it really simple, but it’s mostly all about who you’re cooking for,” says Engel. “There are also times too, like if I’m going to have friends come over and I’ll actually do some recipe testing, things that I might possibly be thinking about running as a special.” Engel mostly enjoys making soups both at the restaurant and at home, but the soups made at home tend to be a little less extravagant. “When I’m cooking at home, I tend to do simpler soups,” he says. “Chicken noodle, vegetable soups and chili. Chili’s a big one around the house. You

can’t beat a nice big bowl of chili with some crusty bread on a cold winter day.” Making the best meal at home isn’t always just a matter of simplicity. Another important factor is the ingredients. Every chef knows just how important it is to get the ingredients right, and it all starts with where they are purchased. At home, some even prefer to raise their own. “I like to use whatever the garden gives me,” says Alberto Sabbadini, executive chef at The Kitchen. “If you have fresh produce, it doesn’t need too much. Just let nature give it its flavor.” For those without a garden, there are plenty of other places around Boulder to find the best meat and produce, such as local farmers’ markets and butchers.

Strawberries and raisin bread

est known for leading the American Transcendentalist movement, Ralph Waldo Emerson also counted poet, essayist and Henry David Thoreau’s landlord at Walden amongst his accomplishments. Oddly enough, Thoreau is the subject of at least two food-related stories that are likely urban legends. The first is that Thoreau brought the strawberry to Cape Cod. The second, and perhaps easiest to disprove, is that he invented raisin bread. Proponents of this theory note that Thoreau wrote of throwing raisins into a bowl of bread dough, but omit the fact that references to raisin bread in literature predate the author by years.

Trattoria’s special may not approach the offerings of more elevated Italian meals at establishments where the cost of the appetizer alone easily exceeds a ten spot. But for the money, the consistently welcoming atmosphere and comforting fare is unmatched. If you’re pressed for time during lunch, the prompt service here makes it easy for the diner to get out in under an hour without fear of hobgoblins. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

ramble and Hare, Boulder’s new self-styled farmhouse kitchen and pub, distinguishes itself by offering locavore small plates as well as a relatively affordable prix fixe menu.

Native Foods Cafe

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

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

The Mountain Sun Pub and Brewery

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

Pastavino

1043 Pearl St., Boulder 303-955-8791

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

yons Fork provides a top-notch weekend brunch experience. Hospitable service, a bright and comfortable familyfriendly ambience, and skillfully prepared fare make for a low-key but quality meal. Top choices include the Haystack goat cheese and zucchini fritters with a spunky aioli, and the hefty French toast, garnished with toasted almonds, sour cream and a pleasantly complex apple compote.

“Disappointments should be cremated, not embalmed,” said the aphorist Henry S. Haskins. That’s good advice for you right now, Libra. It’s an auspicious moment for you to set fire to your defeats, letdowns, and discouragements — and let them burn into tiny piles of ashes. I mean all of them, stretching back for years, not simply the recent ones. There’s no need to treat them like precious treasures you have an obligation to lug with you into the future. The time is right for you to deepen your mastery of the art of liberation.

TAURUS

OCT. 23-NOV. 21:

According to the religion of ancient Egypt, Tefnut is the goddess of moisture. In the natural world, she rules rain, dew, mist, humidity, and condensation. For humans, she is the source of tears, spit, sweat, phlegm, and the wetness produced by sex. In accordance with the astrological omens, I nominate her to be your tutelary spirit in the coming week. I suspect you will thrive by cultivating a fluidic sensibility. You will learn exactly what you need to learn by paying special attention to everything that exudes and spills and flows.

GEMINI

MAY 21-JUNE 20:

I’m guessing that you don’t know the name of the person who sent the first email. It was Ray Tomlinson, and he did it in 1971. You’re probably also unaware that he originated the use of the @ symbol as a key part of email addresses. Now I’d like to address your own inner Ray Tomlinson, Gemini: the part of you that has done valuable work hardly anyone knows about; the part of you that has created good stuff without getting much credit or appreciation. I celebrate that unsung hero, and I hope you will make a special effort to do the same in the coming week.

CANCER

NOV. 22-DEC. 21:

In the 1960 Olympics at Rome, Ethiopian runner Abebe Bikila was barefoot as he won a gold medal in the marathon race. Four years later, at the summer games in Tokyo, he won a gold medal again, this time while wearing shoes. I’m guessing this theme might apply to you and your life in the coming weeks. You have the potential to score another victory in a situation where you have triumphed in the past. And I think it’s even more likely to happen if you vary some fundamental detail, as Bikila did.

SAGITTARIUS

Wikipedia has extensive lists of the biggest unsolved problems in medicine, computer science, philosophy, and nine other fields. Each article treats those riddles with utmost respect and interest, regarding them not as subjects to be avoided but rather embraced. I love this perspective, and urge you to apply it to your own life. This would be an excellent time, astrologically speaking, to draw up a master list of your biggest unsolved problems. Have fun. Activate your wild mind. Make it into a game. I bet that doing so will attract a flood of useful information that’ll help you get closer to solving those problems. (Here’s Wikipedia’s big list: tinyurl.com/ListofProblems.)

Imagine you’re living in 1880. You’re done with work for the day, and are at home enjoying some alone-time leisure activities. What might those be? By the light of your oil lamp, you could read a book, sing songs, compose a letter with pen and paper, or write in your diary. Now transfer your imaginative attention to your actual living space in 2012. It might have a smart phone, tablet, laptop, TV, DVD player, and game console. You’ve got access to thousands of videos, movies, songs, social media, websites, and networked games. Aren’t you glad you live today instead of 1880? On the other hand, having so many choices can result in you wasting a lot of time with stimuli that don’t fully engage you. Make this the week you see what it’s like to use your leisure time for only the highest-quality, most interesting and worthwhile stuff.

2714 28th St.

Columnist Sydney J. Harris told the following story. “I walked with a friend to the newsstand the other night, and he bought a paper, thanking the owner politely. The owner, however, did not even acknowledge it. ‘A sullen fellow, isn’t he?’ I commented as we walked away. ‘Oh, he’s that way every night,’ shrugged my friend. ‘Then why do you continue being so polite to him?’ I asked. And my friend replied, ‘Why should I let him determine how I’m going to act?’” I hope you’ll adopt that approach in the coming week, Scorpio. Be your best self even if no one appreciates it or responds. Astrologically speaking, this is prime time to anchor yourself in your highest integrity.

SCORPIO

JUNE 21-JULY 22:

Busy editor Katie Hintz-Zambrano was asked in an interview what she does when she’s not working at her demanding job. She said she likes to get together with her “article club,” which is like a book club, except it’s for people who don’t have time to read anything longer than articles. I would approve of you seeking out short-cut pleasures like that in the next few weeks, Cancerian. It’s one of those phases in your astrological cycle when you have a poetic license to skip a few steps, avoid some of the boring details, and take leaps of faith that allow you to bypass complicated hassles.

Mon-Sat 11am-7pm / Sun 12-5pm www.helpinghandsherbals.com 2714 28th St. Boulder, CO 80301 303.444.1564

SEPT. 23-OCT. 22:

Life tests you all the time. Sometimes its prods and queries are hard and weird; they come at you with non-stop intensity. On other occasions the riddles and lessons are pretty fun and friendly, and provide you with lots of slack to figure them out. In all cases, life’s tests offer you the chance to grow smarter, both in your head and heart. They challenge you to stretch your capacities and invite you to reduce your suffering. Right now, oddly enough, you have some choice in what kinds of tests you’d prefer. Just keep in mind that the more interesting they are, the bigger the rewards are likely to be.

LIBRA

I’ll bet that a-ha! experiences will arrive at a faster rate than you’ve seen in a long time. Breakthroughs and brainstorms will be your specialty. Surprises and serendipitous adventures should be your delight. The only factor that might possibly obstruct the flow would be if you clung too tightly to your expectations or believed too fiercely in your old theories about how the world works. I’ve got an idea about how to ensure the best possible outcome. Several times every day, say something like the following: “I love to get my curiosity spiked, my hair mussed, my awe struck, my goose bumps roused, my dogmas exploded, and my mind blown.”

DEC. 22-JAN. 19:

AQUARIUS

JAN. 20-FEB. 18:

There’s a certain lesson in love that you have been studying and studying and studying -- and yet have never quite mastered. Several different teachers have tried with only partial success to provide you with insights that would allow you to graduate to the next level of romantic understanding. That’s the bad news, Aquarius. The good news is that all this could change in the coming months. I foresee a breakthrough in your relationship with intimacy. I predict benevolent jolts and healing shocks that will allow you to learn at least some of the open-hearted truths that have eluded you all this time.

PISCES

FEB. 19-MARCH 20:

A mother wrote to the “Car Talk” columnists to ask whether it’s possible to cook food on a car engine. She wanted to be able to bring her teenage son piping hot burritos when she picked him up from school. The experts replied that yes, this is a fine idea. They said there’s even a book about how to do it, Manifold Destiny: The One! The Only! Guide to Cooking on Your Car Engine! I suggest you engage in this kind of creative thinking during the coming week, Pisces. Consider innovations that might seem a bit eccentric. Imagine how you might use familiar things in unexpected ways. Expand your sense of how to coordinate two seemingly unrelated activities.
