Highroad Why are we taxpayers subsidizing corporate crime?

by Jim Hightower

D

o the crime, do the time,” goes the old saying. Unless of course, the criminals are corporate executives. In those cases, the culprits are practically always given a “Get out of jail free” card.

Even the corporate crimes that produce horrible injuries, illnesses, death, etc. are routinely settled by fines and payoffs from the corporate treasury, with no punishment of the hon-

chos who oversee what amount to crime-for-profit syndicates. The only bit of justice in these money settlements is that some of them have become quite large, with multibilliondollar “punitive damages” meant to deter the perpetrators from doing it again. Yet, the same bad corporate actors seem to keep at it.

What’s going on here is a game of winkin’ and noddin’ in which corporate criminals know that those headlinegrabbing assessments come with a secret escape hatch. Congress has generously written the law so corporations can deduct much of their punitive payments from their income taxes! As Sen. Pat Leahy points out, “This tax loophole allows corporations to wreak havoc and then write it off as a cost of doing business.”

For example, oil giant BP certainly wreaked havoc with its careless oil rig explosion in 2010, killing 11 workers, deeply contaminating the Gulf of

Mexico and devastating the livelihoods of millions of people along the Gulf Coast. So, BP was socked with a punishing payout topping $42 billion. But — shhhh — 80 percent of that is eligible for a tax deduction, a little fact that was effectively covered up by the bosses and politicians.

Sen. Leahy has introduced legislation to lock down this escape hatch for thieves, killers and executive-suite villains. For more information on the moral outrage of ordinary taxpayers being forced to subsidize corporate criminals, contact U.S. PIRG at www. uspirg.org.

Really BAD Ideas So, Boulder Cit y Council finally got a park by the library that accomplishes its goals.

Yep, the homeless have moved on.

Hardhats, hippies and hawks

by Dave Anderson

A

ccording to a widespread urban legend, the Vietnam anti-war movement was mostly composed of privileged college kids and the war was most enthusiastically supported by blue collar workers. That’s the story perpetuated in countless TV shows, movies, press reports and history textbooks.

Sociologist and labor educator Penny Lewis debunks this story in her meticulous and nuanced book Hardhats, Hippies and Hawks: The Vietnam Antiwar Movement As Myth and Reality (ILR Press, Cornell University Press).

Class and culture divides did exist around the war. It is certainly true that AFLCIO president George Meany supported the war and that a mob of New York construction workers attacked peaceful anti-war demonstrators outside the Wall Street stock exchange in 1970.

However, a national poll found that 53 percent of unionists surveyed immediately after the attacks condemned the hardhats. Anti-war unions in New York organized a peace demonstration in response. In another national poll at that time, a majority of union members opposed the war.

All over the country, many thousands of workers participated in antiwar activities through their unions. The national leadership of a significant minority of unions opposed Meany and denounced the war. Labor for Peace provided a sophisticated analysis in their book, A Rich Man’s War and A Poor Man’s Fight.

Paradoxically, the movement originated on elite campuses, but working class people were more likely to oppose the war. From the earliest days, polls showed that the Americans most likely to be pro-war were those who had the highest education, the highest incomes

and high status occupations.

Lewis notes that Charles Chatfield, a renowned historian of peace movements, argued the Vietnam anti-war movement “never succeeded in becoming a ‘positive reference point’ for sentiment against the war, a feeling whose parameters he estimates exceeded the organized movement by a ratio of 60 to 1.”

Chatfield said organized opposition “came mainly from middle class, college-educated whites, materially comfortable and motivated by moral considerations.” He said the “great majority” of Vietnam dissenters were a “people apart.” They were “lower-economic class, often women and black, with grade school educations and lowprestige jobs” who Chatfield characterized as “isolationist,” “politically inarticulate” and “disaffected.” At the beginning, they tended to oppose the war on pragmatic grounds, that it was “a waste of men and money.”

Lewis qualifies and challenges these conclusions.

She says the organized movement attracted many individuals and groups who were working class but didn’t identify themselves primarily as “labor.”

This was a time when many working class families were able to send their kids to college for the first time. Many of those students got involved in the anti-war movement.

The anti-war movement interacted with predominately working class civil rights, black power and other ethnicitybased groups (especially the Chicano movement). She notes, “Each movement developed its own form of antiwar critique and mobilized against the war on its own terms.”

The GI and veteran peaceniks provided an angry working class perspective. In a large demonstration by

letters Danish fails again

Paul Danish jumps the shark again [Re: “Putin and anti-fracking activism,” March 19]. And, he has now infected the Boulder Weekly with a stinking pile of trash from conspiracists like Lachlan Markay of the Daily Beacon. In addition, he has disparaged a whole community across this country who do not wish to see their land, water and air despoiled by fracking simply because the evil bogey man Vladimir Putin is also against U.S. fracking for geopolitical reasons. On the last point regarding geopolitical gamesmanship regarding energy, it is very complex, and there are players across the globe whom have their hand in manipulating energy supplies and prices for their own reasons.

See this article http://oilprice.com/ Energy/Oil-Prices/Did-The-SaudisAnd-The-US-Collude-In-DroppingOil-Prices.html for another point of view regarding this issue. What say about the Saudis Mr. Danish?

As is always the case, Mr. Danish starts his arguments with his own POV and then searches for information to support it. This is the failure of lazy narrow-minded ideologues. They don’t wish to engage complex issues with as many “facts” as possible. They find a nugget of information to support their theory and disregard anything that competes with it. Failure once again Mr. Danish.

David Segal/Lafayette

Dead bodies do not perpetuate a species.

In 2014 the U.S. Fish and Wildlife

Service (USFWS) imposed “trophy hunting” import bans on Zimbabwe and Tanzania. This ban is in danger of being lifted by the U.S. The ban prevents the bodies of animals killed for trophies from being exported into the United States.

The ban is in danger of being lifted.

Support for ending the ban is supported by Safari Club International, a strong pro-trophy hunting and lobbying organization that promotes hunting of endangered species. Elephant, rhinoceros and now giraffe populations are being heavily poached, and populations are fast dwindling.

Elephants in Zimbabwe and Tanzania are being especially hard hit by poaching and by taking baby elephants for zoos in China and Thailand.

And though China has called for an ivory moratorium publicly, BBC News reports that ivory continues to go there.

Zimbabwe and Tanzania lack sustainable management practices and law enforcement, which makes exploiting the animal populations to their economic advantage rather than actually managing them.

Elephant populations are especially suffering, and by upholding the ban, the U.S. will aid in their hopeful recovery and send a strong message to other African countries to stop unacceptable policies of poaching and hunting.

Time is critical. If you’re frustrated of hearing about elephant exploitation, please take a moment to send an email to dan_ashe@fws.com at the USFWS see LETTERS Page 10

Trophies are dead. Bodies do not perpetuate a species.

Billie Gutgsell and Leland Rucker/ Boulder

Dead story should go deeper

I read the article [Re: “Ladies and gentlemen, not the Grateful Dead,” Stew’s Views, March 5] and share your frustration about the monetization of special events and concerts like this one.

My first taste of this was when Phish came off their seven-year hiatus to return for a three-night stand at Hampton Coliseum. I tried like the masses to get tickets, only to see that the show was sold out it under 30 seconds, yet scores of tickets were readily available on StubHub and eBay for anywhere between five and ten times the face value. My friend went to all three nights with his wife for the low, low price of $3,500, stating that “you only live once.”

In the article, you took issue with the fact that thousands of tickets immediately became available on StubHub because Chicago Bears season ticket holders, who have first right of refusal on all ticketed events at the stadium, bought and then flipped the tickets for a massive profit. You then suggest that this had something to do with the

letters choice of venue, and you finish the paragraph with the comment, “The party line that Soldier Field was chosen because it was the site of the last Grateful Dead concert on July 9, 1995 rings more hollow with every passing scalped ticket purchase.” So, what would be the motivation driving the decision of venue based on this one point? If Bears ticket holders are the ones who turned $119.50 into $3500, then what skin does Ticketmaster or StubHub have in this game, other than a nominal fee to process the secondary sale?

I’m not saying you’re wrong; rather, I am saying you might be right on a much larger scale than you allude to in the article. And, I just want to know if there is a bigger issue here. It could be fiction, but I had heard Ticketmaster and/or the StubHub people employ sweat shops of people in India to pound the public on-sale windows from call centers with stacks of credit card numbers to buy up as many tickets as possible “the right way” in the primary market. The show then sells out in minutes, yet thousands of tickets are almost immediately available on StubHub for as much as ten times the price. If TM or StubHub don’t own the tickets as this point, they stand only to make about 10-15 percent fee on the resale, see LETTERS Page 11

Buy Local, Save BIG! 10 March 26, 2015

Vietnam Veterans Against the War, vets threw their medals on the steps of Capitol Hill. They held “Winter Soldier” hearings about atrocities in Vietnam.

Rebellious soldiers in Vietnam may have been the group that played the biggest role in ending the war.

Dissenting GIs could pay a high price for just speaking up. Nevertheless, resistance and sabotage was widespread. In a 1971 article in the Armed Forces Journal, Marine Colonel Robert D. Heinl Jr. wrote: “Our army that now remains in Vietnam is in a state approaching collapse, with individual units avoiding or having refused combat, murdering their officers and noncommissioned officers, drug-ridden, and dispirited where not near-mutinous. ... [C]onditions [exist] among American forces in Vietnam that have only been exceeded in this

century by ... the collapse of the Tsarist armies in 1916 and 1917.”

Lewis says that the movement was “a massive, sprawling, multiheaded phenomenon” with as many as 6 million active participants and another 25 million close sympathizers. At war’s end, a vast majority of Americans concluded not only that the war was a mistake but also “fundamentally wrong and immoral.”

Many years later in 2011, scruffy young protesters converged on Wall Street saying the one percent was screwing over the 99 percent. Unions rushed to support them, both to protect them from the cops and to provide aid. For the first time in decades, class had become a central issue in American politics.

instead of something more like 1,700 percent by marking up $199 tickets to $3,500.

It seems to me that the issue is way bigger than a record-setting money grab over a singular event, the Chicago Dead shows of 2015. Rather, it seems to be a systemic problem on a much larger scale. There are several articles out there about the $5 billion secondary market for tickets in this country and about the ongoing battles between TM+ and StubHub for market share, but are these behemoths really after a meager 10-15 percent grab on the secondary purchase while’ Joe Concertgoer’ clears $3-grand for a trip to Mexico?

Maybe someone should dig even deeper. After all, the same thing happened to me trying for Phish tickets at Hampton Coliseum years ago. To my knowledge, there are no football fans there with first right of refusal on concert tickets that will end up in the secondary market. Yet, the same thing still happened. And how do all those tickets end up online for resale so damned fast?

The system these days seems to be built for it.

Mark H. Frederick/Waitsfield

under consideration in Longmont, you might think it’s a battle over a permonth fee. That perspective is so narrow as to miss the big picture and the undeniable benefits completely.

The current system was inherited from our forefathers who set up a trash system based on linear thinking. You pick the trash up and drop it off at the landfill.

Our call for curbside composting is

to take the broken circle and put it back together. Instead of ignoring nature’s system, go with it. Instead of burying the half of our trash that is organic in a landfill, make it into black gold. Instead of mindlessly accepting the concept of “away,” let’s admit that the standard system is short-sighted and buries our unsolved problems for our grandkids to figure out.

The benefits of curbside composting

expand way beyond the trash bill.

That’s why we are advocating for an integrated Sustainability and Climate Action Plan for Longmont. Let’s acknowledge the severe drought in California where much of our produce originates. Let’s look at how our waste stream can bolster our ability to become a burgeoning local foodshed. Let’s link it to it’s ability to provide thriving community gardens and communities, to

Get the facts on coal

I read your article on coal plant construction in this week’s Boulder Weekly [Re: “Old King Coal is sick — but not yet dying,” Boulderganic, March 19]. I expected your statements regarding coal plants and usage were off my millions of coal tons.

I thought a little online research might shed light through the polluted air haze, and it didn’t take long.

Here is a recent summary of coal use in the world offered by the Washington Post: http://www.washingtonpost.com/ blogs/wonkblog/wp/2014/01/30/chinainstalled-a-record-number-of-solarpanels-in-2013-but-coal-is-still-winning/ Both India and China continue to add and use vast coal capacity, and the graphs show this succinctly. Yes, China is now dominant in solar and is adding capacity with solar, but this is a small percentage when put into proper context regarding coal and its resulting consequences.

Your article seems misleading and missing the larger concern regarding the growing world use of coal today and for the future.

As Dwight Eisenhower said, “If you cannot solve a problem, enlarge it.”

Let’s stop arguing about the billing of an ill-designed trash system and get on with identifying broken systems and fixing them. The concept of “trash” itself is a new idea. It’s a bad idea. And it’s time to roll up our sleeves. Let’s start with curbside composting. It’s time to close the loop.

TPP is a step away from democracy

I’m a current CU undergraduate, and I am writing to you today to express my concern about the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), a trade agreement between the United States and many other nations that will affect 720,000,000 people and 40 percent of the world’s economy. This extremely complex document has been drafted by corporations and government officials behind closed doors over the past four or five years. U.S. representatives have recently been allowed to read the document, but they are forced to read it without the assistance of their staff or lawyers who could help them decode its confusing legal jargon.

As if this isn’t concerning enough, the Obama administration is trying to convince Congress to adopt “Fast Track,” which aims to rush the TPP through Congress without public review or amending. I think that this bill unjustly validates the kind of secrecy in which the TPP was written. If it weren’t for Wikileaks, we would have no idea what the TPP entailed.

According to the information that has been leaked, the TPP allow for more job outsourcing, and it gives pharmaceutical companies stronger patents, which means that cheaper, generic drugs will be delayed if they are to be released at all. The TPP would also allow corporations to sue nations, states, or municipalities that make any law, which interferes with their profits. Obviously, these are questionable ideas, and they seem to serve corporate interests, and nothing else. We need to call Jared Polis at 303484-9596, and tell him to vote against Fast Track and the TPP. If Fast Track is passed, then we will be one step further away from democracy, and if the TPP is passed, then we will be one step closer towards a corporate state.

Polis wrong on TPP

What is it with Congressman Polis?

12 March 26, 2015

At times he is a strong progressive voice on some very important issues. But when it comes to a most important issue affecting corporate control over our lives and protection of our jobs, communities and environment against corporate predation, he comes up woefully short.

I’m speaking of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), an all-encompassing treaty involving a dozen Pacific Rim nations, with provisions to add more.

For the past five years the Obama Administration has been negotiating the TPP in secret meetings attended by 600 corporate operatives but effectively closed to civil society and largely hidden from our elective representatives.

Leaked documents reveal TPP would enforce intensive competition between American workers and bastions of abusive low-wage sweatshop labor like Mexico, Malaysia and Vietnam. Protection of American jobs, our environment, food safety, consumer product quality and workplace standards would be subject to costly and undemocratic “state-investor tribunals” empowered to heavily fine governments that attempt to protect citizens, communities and environments from destructive corporate practices. Access to affordable drugs and use of the Internet would be highly restricted in order to protect corporate profits.

Regulation of big banks that caused the crash of 2008 would be virtually eliminated. Promotion of American-made products would be illegal.

The Obama Administration, fearing public scrutiny would doom TPP to ignominious defeat, will soon ask Congress to pass a bill popularly known as “Fast Track,” now euphemistically dubbed “Trade Promotion Authority” (TPA). TPA is intended to bypass Congressional authority, forcing all-ornothing ratification of TPP with no amendments. Worst of all, TPA would void public debate; a prospect Wall Street backers, trans-national corporations and the 1 percent drool over.

So where is Jared Polis on this seminal issue? Sadly, the congressman is non-committal, apologetic of the President and seemingly indifferent to the prospect of unfettered profiteering by elites who stand to benefit from the pending corporate free-or-all. We must insist he stand up for democracy and the majority of his constituents. No more pussyfooting. No more waffling.

Tell Mr. Polis to join 161 Democratic colleagues and oppose TPA. Email Jared now at polis.house.gov/contact/ or leave a message at 303-484-9596.

news briefs RULES ON FRACKING RELEASED, CRITICIZED FOR NOT TAKING FIRMER HOLD New rules released for hydraulic fracturing on public and tribal lands by the U.S. Department of the Interior called for increased transparency on chemicals used by posting them to the website FracFocus within 30 days of completing operations, “validation of well integrity and strong cement barriers between the wellbore and water zones through which the wellbore passes”; “higher standards for interim storage of recovered waste fluids from BLM Field office via WikiCommons hydraulic fracturing to mitigate risks to air, water and wildlife”; and “measures to lower the risks of crosswell contamination with chemicals and fluids used in the fracturing operation.”

The rules were an update to 30-year-old existing well-drilling regulations.

“As we continue to offer millions of acres of public lands for conventional and renewable energy production, it is absolutely critical the public have confidence that transparent and effective safety and enviNew rules from the ronmental protections are in place,” Secretary of the Department of the Interior for hydraulic fracturing are Interior Sally Jewell said in a press release. an update to 30-year-old Environment America criticized the rules as funexisting well-drilling regulations. damentally failing to protect American lands from pollution. The 12 million acres of parks, forests and public lands that the oil and gas industry has expressed interest in drilling are not offered protections and the chemicals used in fracking are not limited.

“Some places are just too precious to drill and frack, and that includes our parks, canyons, and forests,” said Kim Stevens, campaign director with Environment Colorado.

These rules apply only to wells on public and tribal lands, and take effect 90 days after their March 20 release. There are more than 100,000 oil and gas wells on federally managed lands, according to the Department of the Interior, and 90 percent of wells currently being drilled are fracked.

COLORADO’S CHILDREN STRUGGLING TO CATCH UP Children in rural Colorado are struggling with poverty, abuse and healthcare access, and minority students are expelled and Library of Congress/Dorothea Lange suspended from school more often than white students, according to the Colorado Children’s Campaign’s annual report on children’s health, education, and family and community support.

In Colorado’s rural counties, 23 percent of children live in poverty, compared to 19 percent in urban counties. That percentage was higher in 2013 than it was in 2007 before the In Colorado’s rural counties, 23 per- recession started. cent of children live in poverty.

“In some of our cities and rural communities, child poverty is still high and growing, even while the economic situation of the average Colorado child is looking up,” Chris Watney, president and CEO of the Colorado Children’s Campaign, said in a press release.

Children of color are more likely to live in poverty.

Maternal and infant health is also lower in Colorado’s rural counties, according to the report, which also found that prenatal care is less likely and the highest uninsured rate for children is found in those same areas.

“Among Colorado children under 18, one in five has been exposed to at least two adverse childhood experiences,” according to a press release from the Colorado Children’s Campaign. “Among low-income children, that percentage rises to one in three.”

Those adverse experiences include divorce, abuse, neglect, caregiver substance abuse and exposure to domestic violence, which put children at higher risk for physical and mental health problems for the rest of their lives.

Colorado ranks among the least affordable states in the country for centerbased child care, ranking second for infant care and sixth for 4-year-olds. Children of color are less likely to be enrolled in preschool.

Black students are also more than twice as likely to be suspended or expelled from school than white students. Hispanic and American Indian students were expelled at higher rates, too. The report’s press release states, “Research shows students of color often receive harsher punishments than non-Hispanic white students for similar infractions.”

news WHITEWASHING

THE PAST A CHICANO ACTIVIST REMEMBERS A VIOLENT HIGH SCHOOL WALKOUT 46 YEARS LATER

BY MATT CORTINA

F

orty-six years ago, a group of Denver high school students and Chicano supporters participated in a walkout. Some were beaten by police and arrested. They were protesting the fact that a history teacher was teaching them a washed-over, ethnocentric version of history. When they asked to include more of their own experience in the lesson plan, they were ignored.

Carlos Santistevan was arrested during that walkout. He was a founding member of the Chicano rights group, Crusade for Justice, which organized the event with the high school students.

As the anniversary for his walkout came a few days ago, on March 20, Santistevan reflects on that day and notes that many of the issues fought for that day are still being fought today in Colorado schools.

In 1969, Jeannie Perez was in Denver’s West High School. She was the daughter of a member of Crusade for Justice and one of a small number of students of Hispanic descent in the school. One day, Santistevan says, Perez’s history teacher belittled her identity.

“One of the things that came up, first of all, was her teacher at West High School was mispronouncing her 16 March 26, 2015

name,” Santistevan says. “Her name was Perez, and she corrected him. The teacher, being spiteful, started calling her ‘Parrish.’ And he did it purposely, even though she corrected him. So Jeannie began to correct some of his history. He was talking about American history, and he was not too happy with [being corrected]. So he challenged her and said, ‘Bring some teachers to class, and let me hear what they have to say about American history.’”

The teachers to whom Jeannie’s teacher was referring were members of Crusade for Justice, including Santistevan, Chicano leader Rodolfo “Corky” Gonzales and others. The group decided it might be a good idea to take the teacher up on his offer. “[Gonzales and others] went to the class and when they got there, [the teacher] left the class so he didn’t even give them the privilege of even caring what they had to say,” Santistevan says.

So the group reconvened and galvanized support to remove the teacher from the school. By consulting with Perez, other students and their parents, the group sought to gain support before making a push to remove the teacher. “[Members] said, ‘Why don’t you talk to your parents? Let’s see if we can talk to them and gain support so they as parents can get involved with this so

we can resolve this problem.’ That was what do you want to do?’ and [Perez the important part,” Santistevan says. and the students] said, ‘Maybe we “That was a key thing that we just should stage a walkout to get the attendidn’t want the students to start sometion of the school.’ So we asked them, thing and then it wouldn’t go any place. ‘How many fellow students support But by having their parents support you?’ and they said, ‘Maybe 50.’ them, it would make more sense.”

HOPE FOR A CURVED SPINE The diagnosis of scoliosis is difficult to process.

Options are few, as anxious parents are told to just watch and wait to see if the curve progresses enough to warrant bracing or surgery.

Adolescents with scoliosis who escape surgery often find that scoliosis is not something that you outgrow. Significant curves can progress in adulthood, causing problems with pain, arthritis, disc pathology, breathing, and muscle spasms.

Conventional approaches to the management of most spinal problems, such as manual and exercise therapies have not been shown to change whether or not a curvature will progress.

Europeans, however, have been using a curve specific approach to Physical Therapy shown to be effective for scoliosis management based on the work of Katarina Schroth. This approach is considered to be the gold standard of treatment in Europe. Dozens of studies (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18432435) support this type of treatment. The therapy is tailored to each person’s curve pattern, and involves 3 dimensional corrective exercises and postural re-education that counteracts the rotation and curvature of the spine. The sooner a person starts therapy, the greater the chance that progression of the curve can be halted and in many cases improved.

Schroth based Physical Therapy is gaining momentumin the US, as patients are demanding meaningful options for treatment, and therapists are now able to complete the extensive training here in the States. Only a handful of Physical Therapists in Colorado have been certified in this method, four of which are at Avanti Physical Therapy. They have been implementing this approach for four years, and have seen great results. Most people can at least halt their curve progression, and many see improvement on their x-rays.

Pain decreases, posture and lung capacity improve, the visible signs of scoliosis frequently disappear.

Their dedicated scoliosis specialists provide expert care in a supportive and compassionate environment.

Intense chemotherapy followed, as well as debates about whether the affected leg would need to be amputated. Surgery saved the leg, but the chemo continued.

“Then he was clean — clean for almost five years,” says Al’s wife Amy. “In that time we had our second child.

But when our kids were 5 and 2, the cancer came back in his lung.”

The cycle began again: The tumor in Al’s lung was removed. More chemo. Three years clean and the cancer came back in the same lung. By that time the Visconti children were 8 and 5. They watched their father undergo another surgery to remove the tumor in his lung, but just six months later it was back — and this time it was inoperable.

And this is where the family is now.

Amy says Al has been undergoing chemotherapy relentlessly for the past two years. Al’s chemotherapy regimen was so intense he couldn’t work, and now he’s on disability. Their children, now 7 and 10, have never known a life that wasn’t controlled by cancer.

“Our kids are around it all the time, and he has a very intense chemotherapy, so there’s no way of hiding that he’s ill,” Amy says. “They see him sick and weak — his body has changed a lot. We don’t talk about prognosis and outcomes, but they’ve always known about everything.

You can’t hide those emotions, and you can’t hide the fact that he’s sick, so they’ve always been a part of all of it, and their life is highly disrupted when he goes through chemotherapy because I go with him, and so people pick them up and take them to school and bring us different foods. It’s very obvious that there’s something going on in our life.

“So when we had an opportunity for the kids to just escape all of that, that’s what Camp Kesem is,” Amy says. “It’s just an opportunity for a kid to be a kid and not stare cancer in the eye every Boulder Weekly

The University of Colorado Boulder joins more than 60 other universities in hosting a chapter of Camp Kesem, a camp that supports children through a parent’s cancer.

day.”

Camp Kesem is a nationwide network of camps that support children through a parent’s cancer, completely free of charge to the family. Each chapter is founded and led by college students, just as the first Camp Kesem was in 2001. Now with 62 chapters across the U.S., Kesem serves thousands of children ages 6 through 16 each year.

Some of their parents have cancer.

Some are in remission. Some have succumbed to it. Some have been cancer free for years. Whatever the situation, Kesem provides community and support — and magic. The word kesem means “magic” in Hebrew, the original idea being Camp Kesem’s ability to bring “magic” to families coping with cancer.

In 2013, two students from the University of Colorado Boulder started Colorado’s first chapter of Camp Kesem. Santiago Gonzalez, now a senior in biochemistry at CU Boulder, was one of those students.

Then, Gonzalez was just 18 years old and “looking for something fulfilling” to do with his time, so when a Camp Kesem leader from Vanderbilt University brought the idea to CU when she transferred, Gonzalez jumped at the opportunity to make it happen.

With grant money from the LIVESTRONG Foundation, Camp

Kesem CU Boulder was one of 12 new chapters started in 2013, with their inaugural weeks of camp occurring in the summer of 2014.

Gonzalez says planning was overwhelming at times — there was still money to be raised, committees to be chosen, a camp location to book, staff to hire.

“You see these numbers of money you have to raise and you’re like, ‘I’ve never seen that amount of money in my life. I don’t think it’s possible.’ But it is,” he says. “You have to deal with lots of things, whether it’s families or trying to get a medical professional who needs to go to camp or trying to depend on college students. It does cause some really stressful situations, but it’s worth it. I really never have experienced anything like it. I’ve gone to many camps and gone to cool places, but this is a highlight of my college career.”

The CU Boulder chapter held their first summer of Camp Kesem at CalWood Education Center in Jamestown with just over 40 campers. This year’s camp will be held at Camp Shady Brook in Deckers, and Gonzalez says they’re aiming for a minimum of 60 campers. Kids will have access to an array of activities, including an archery range, ropes course and lake for canoeing, swimming or fishing. Experts will

be on hand to teach and lead all activities.

The idea, Gonzalez says, is not to focus on whatever is happening at home, but to create community and support.

“At camp we rarely bring [cancer] up,” he says. “I mean, everyone knows why they’re there — it’s kind of the elephant in the room sometimes. At camp we have cabin chats every night where we just sit in our cabin and we hang out kind of as a family. We talk about random things. Sometimes cancer comes up, sometimes it doesn’t.”

Danea Sharp is one of this year’s co-director’s for CU Boulder’s chapter of Camp Kesem. Now 23, Sharp was 14 when she lost her own mother to cancer.

“Even though I’ve experienced what these kids have experienced, sometimes I don’t know the right words to say, but in those moments... even if you’re just crying with them, even if you’re just hanging on to them... you can’t tell them everything’s going to be all right, but you can tell them, ‘Hey, we’re in this together,’” she says.

Amy Visconti says she was impressed with the students running the show at CU Boulder’s Camp Kesem. Her children still talk about counselors who snuck marshmallows into their cabins after curfew. They will both be going back to Kesem this summer.

“When a family is hit with something like cancer ... there’s an immediate ‘put everything else on hold’ [mentality],” Amy says. “Your entire focus is on the patient and the cancer, and that’s just life. It’s everything for a while. But for some of us it hasn’t stopped now for two years. At the beginning we were putting our lives on hold and then we realized how fast [our kids] were growing up. We couldn’t put off their childhood anymore. This is the only time they were going to be 7 and 10, so for someone else to scoop them up and take them and let them be kids, that was huge for us.”

Wallander says that being for-profit is actually a “sustainable model.”

“We have a triple bottom line mission — for people, for planet, for profit,” he adds. “By being profitable, by paying living wages, by contributing to the local community by paying taxes, we are creating a model that’s sustainable into the future for reusing and recycling textiles where we’re not depending on grants or government contributions or anything like that. It’s a business, but it’s a business that’s doing something good.”

Last year, Colorado residents diverted 2 million pounds of textiles, which “prevented 17 million pounds of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere, saved more than 3 billion gallons of water and 14,325 cubic yards of landfill space,” according to a press release from USAgain, using figures from an EPA Office of Solid Waste Report.

The Secondary Materials And Recycled Textiles Association (SMART), an international, recyclingbased nonprofit trade association comprised of nearly 200 companies in the textile recycling industry, says that 45 percent of recycled textiles are reused as apparel, 30 percent is cut into wiping rags or polishing cloths, 20 percent is reprocessed into its basic fiber content and remanufactured to create things like furniture stuffing and upholstery, and 5 percent is simply unusable and is discarded.

The Bureau of International Recycling (BIR) outlines three classifications of recycled textiles — post industrial, by-product from yarn and fabric manufacturing and post-consumer. Once categorized, the textiles are manually sorted as “wearable,” and resold domestically and abroad, or “unwearable,” and sold to the flocking industry for shredding and respinning.

The Colorado House has voted in favor of ending the state’s ban on residential rainwater collection — the only such ban in the nation.

The bill will now move on to the state senate and, if passed, will allow homeowners to collect up to 110 gallons of water in rain barrels.

Colorado “claims the right to all moisture in the atmosphere that falls within its borders,” according to the Colorado Division of Water Resources.

“As a result, in much of the state, it is illegal to divert rainwater falling on your property expressly for a certain use unless you have a very old water right or during occasional periods when there is a surplus of water in the river system,” the division writes on their website.

A 2009 Senate Bill eased these standards, allowing certain property owners — namely those who owned wells — to collect rainwater. This did not extend to municipal residents.

“The bipartisan Colorado House vote today is a strong show of support to allow Coloradans to collect a limited amount of water for use on our flowerbeds and vegetable gardens,” Pete Maysmith, executive director of Conservation Colorado, said in a press release. “The common sense legislation will serve as an easy tool to raise awareness of Colorado’s unique water challenges and the need for strong water conservation policies.”

essary. The World Bank estimates that almost 20 percent of industrial water pollution is due to textile dying and treatment, and that up to 72 chemicals found in polluted water come directly from the textile dying process — 30 of which cannot be removed or completely extracted.

Sixty-one percent of clothes recovered for second-hand use are exported, and, according to the BIR, more than 80 percent of the population of many African countries dress themselves in second-hand clothing. While much of the domestically recycled textiles are utilized abroad, the environmental

impact can be felt globally.

“In these last 15 years that USAgain has been in existence, the world population has grown by about 1 billion people, and most of that growth has been in less developed countries where the competing priorities of food, shelter, water, clothing, medical care and education makes it impossible for many people to even have the option of buying new clothing,” Wallander says. “And with used clothing being sold at maybe one-tenth or one-twentieth of the price of new clothing, that means that people have more money available for other basic needs.”

The rapids of the Colorado River and the Roaring Fork River in Glenwood Canyon pass by options for rock climbing, ice climbing and mountain biking.

Mountain Resort.

The big stat for skiers — and one that Sunlight likes to brag about, albeit with tongue slightly in cheek — is the fact that the ski area has the steepest run in Colorado. This seems a bit outrageous until you drop into the resort’s expert terrain. Comprising a series of short and steep avalanche chutes that plunge through aspen glades, this zone is modest in total skiable acreage but rewards experts with phenomenal and uncrowded powder skiing. It’s so good, in fact, that it probably shouldn’t be mentioned here. But with Aspen just up the road, there will always be fresh lines tucked away at Sunlight. The rest of the mountain offers a nice counterpoint to the steeps: fun groomers and some bump runs are complemented by a low-key après scene in the bar. It’s mellow and ends early, but that’s not an issue, because there are places to go and things to see, primarily the hot springs that sit just outside the center of town.

Most people know Glenwood

Springs due to the town’s hot springs pool. It’s easily visible from the cars speeding by on Interstate 70, and at just over $20 bucks, might be the largest hot tub and most expensive hot tub in the world that you’ll ever experience. Still, it’s worth doing once if just for the novelty as well as to experience a slice of history. The springs have a rich and illustrious past, hosting everyone from luminaries to socialites to average tourists. These waters, coupled with easy access provided by the railways, first put Glenwood Springs on the map. The town boomed in the late 1800s, becoming a summer destination for East Coast society, many of whom stayed at the Hotel Colorado, which rises behind the springs. Notable guests include Teddy Roosevelt, who summered at the hotel one season.

The hotel is located a pole position close to the hot springs and at the western side of Glenwood Canyon, a climbsee GLENWOOD Page 28

ith skiing, climbing, mountain biking, hiking, river rafting and a whole lot more — Glenwood Springs is a complete outdoor recreation locatio.

Arguably, the only thing that’s keeping this low-key, authentic location from being overrun is that most people haven’t given it a chance. Here’s a primer on where to go and what to do.

Skiing: Aspen is 45 minutes away. You can drive or take the RAFTA bus. Closer yet is Sunlight, a 680-skiable-acre gem that is only 20 minutes from town. With daily lift tickets averaging a mere $45, it’s well worth the visit and will reward adventurous skiers with plenty of untracked snow on powder days.

Climbing: Rock year-round and ice in the winter. That’s the beta on the world-class crags surrounding Glenwood Springs. Sport routes can be found in nearby Rifle, a 30-minute drive west and closer to town at a crag called the Puoux, five minutes east off of Interstate 70. For ice climbers, Glenwood Springs offers challenging, vertical routes in Glenwood canyon. www.visitglenwood.com/ climbing Rafting and Kayaking: A dedicated whitewater park is complemented by the rapids of the Colorado River and the Roaring Fork River, offering everything from flatwater to class IV rapids. www.visitglenwood.com/kayaking Mountain Biking and Hiking: From the paved recreation trail through Glenwood Canyon to the singletrack charms of Boy Scout Trail, there’s a wide variety of options for walkers, hikers and bikers. www.visitglenwood.com/biking Relaxing: The Glenwood Springs Hot Pool features water at 104 degrees, while the nearby Yampah Vapor Caves and Spa offers spa treatments using natural hot springs waters. www.hotspringspool.com and www.yampahspa.com

Boulder Arts Week is both about drawing audiences in and bringing art out into the world

omewhere between the cupcakes and the ciabatta, a cluster of singers will belt out love ballads. Watercolor landscape paintings will provide a backdrop to the rods and reels for sale at Front Range Anglers. The tale of Little Red Riding Hood will be retold — for adults — with shadow puppets on the walls of a dance studio. Amid the shelves of cumin and curry at Savory Spice Shop, stories about chocolate, salt and food will be told. The North Boulder Recreation Center swimming pool will become a stage.

It’s all part of Boulder Arts Week’s efforts to remind the city of the vibrant arts scene present here, to bring it out of doors to meet with the people where they are. Of course, people are also invited in to traditional venues to see the many concerts, theater and dance performances, film screenings and visual art exhibitions that go on all the time and from March 29 to April 4 have been welcomed under the umbrella of Boulder Arts Week.

“The hope is that there will be art Boulder Weekly

everywhere, and as the week progresses, no person will be in Boulder and not have a creative collision, so to speak,” says Deborah Malden, arts liaison and advisor for Boulder Chamber, who serves on the event’s steering committee.

“Nationally and internationally, art is being taken out of traditional spaces and being made available in places that are unexpected, and I think it delights people and engages them in unexpected ways. ... The view of public art is changing — public art can be an experience. It doesn’t have to be an art installation.”

Boulder Arts Week was created in 2014 following conversations between the executive directors of the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art and the Dairy Center for the Arts on how to increase the city’s visibility as an arts

destination.

Last year’s 10-day event included 750 artists from 115 organizations and 120 events — not counting events that occurred multiple times throughout the week, in which case the tally is more like 439 — in 116 venues.

An estimated 14,300 people attended, 25 percent of whom came from outside Boulder County, according to audience surveys.

“Overwhelmingly, the artists who participated felt like it was a really good start,” says Emily K. Harrison, Boulder Arts Week project manager. Of artists surveyed after the 2014 event, 90.6 percent said they were likely to participate again.

It’s not curated.

“Anyone who wants to be involved, can get involved,” Harrison says.

In addition to inviting artists out of

traditional doors — and inviting audiences in — Boulder Arts Week also brings artists together in the name of support, visibility and perhaps even collaboration. Third Law Dance/Theater and Boulder Bach Fest’s joint venture “Bach UnCaged” is one of those (see full story on page 35).

The week is also about supporting the next generations of artists. This year, there’s an increased participation from University of Colorado students, a trend Malden says she hopes to see built on in years to follow. And the bakery-boundchoir? That’s the Cantabile Singers, and they’re collecting musical instruments to be refurbished and distributed to Boulder County students who can’t afford them, both during their mini concert at 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 29 at the Pearl Street Whole Foods and throughout the week at the Boulder Public Library. Last year, they collected more than 75 instruments, according to Linda Haertling, with Cantabile Singers. see ARTS WEEK Page 32

They had a piano in the house and his sisters took piano lessons briefly, but his parents never listened to music unless they were in the car.

7 p.m., Saturday March 28, Hamburger Mary’s Denver, 700 E. 17th Ave., Denver, 303-832-1333.

American Sign Language is an expressive language that doesn’t use volume or tone to make a point, but uses expression and movement instead. While most poetry is associated with spoken word, ASL Slam is working to expand those limits and provide a platform for literary and performing artists in the deaf community. Instead of a treat for the ears, you’ll get a powerfully visual performance filled with story and emotion. All the poems will be in sign language, with voice interpreters for the hearing folks. Experience poetry in a whole different way and see the world through someone else’s hands. Tickets available at ASLSlam.com

Taarka CD Release Party 7 p.m. Friday, March 27, eTown Hall, 1535 Spruce St., Boulder, 303-443-8696.

Just in time for spring, Colorado’s own Taarka is back with a new album Making Tracks Home. Taarka’s sound is filled with a variety of different string instruments laying a foundation for vocals from husbandand-wife duo David and Enion PeltaTiller. Folk music rarely fits nicely into a specific genre, and Taarka’s music also reaches across several genres — with descriptors like gypsy, bluegrass and jazz. But Taarka’s inspiration separates them from the rest with unlikely sources including 19th century poetry and worldly influences from Romania to Appalachia.

But for this new album, the Colorado-grown band got back to its musical roots. Celebrate their new album release at eTown Hall on March 27.

Tim Johnson brings families together at ‘Home’

by Michael J. Casey

I

’ve just always been fascinated by what happens when you take a doodle and breathe life into it,” animation director Tim Johnson says, describing his career and passion. Ever since the birth of the flickering image, writers, directors, animators and viewers have been enamored by the simple act of watching an idea come to life and move. For Johnson, that moment dates back to his second grade English class.

“I tell this rather cruel story, but it’s true,” Johnson tells Boulder Weekly with a mischievous smile. “My English textbook was very, very large... and Miss Radosevich was our teacher, but we didn’t call her that. She was a rather cruel headmistress, and I found that I could take little stick figures and by drawing one and then another make a little flipbook, so Miss Radosevich was beheaded as you flipped that book.

And then even better, you could flip it backwards and murder her again and again and again!”

This story clearly holds a great deal of significance to Johnson as he repeated it a few hours later after his latest movie, Home from DreamWorks Animation, held a special sneak pre-

view at the Boulder International Film Festival. After the packed screening, Johnson jumped on the Boulder Theater stage to answer a few questions and once again recounted his crude discovery of animation and its possible cruel applications.

But parents don’t fret, Home — which won Best Animated Feature at the festival — opens in wide release on March 27 and doesn’t contain the beheading of a teacher, or anyone for that matter. In fact, Home is typical family fare, a movie that entertains first but still manages to teach. To show kids a little bit about the world, while giving them a fun ride at the same time.

For Johnson, Home started seven years ago at his own house, when Johnson chose Adam Rex’s book, The True Meaning of Smek Day, of which the film is based on, to read to his sons — then 7 and 5 — as a bedtime story.

The book follows Oh (voiced in the movie by Jim Parsons), a member of an alien race called the Boov, who come to Earth, relocate the human population and take over the vacated homes and landmarks as their own.

He makes one crafted, entertaining ones — that are when he runs into Tip (voiced by kind of tissue-paper thin and about Rihanna), the one human who wasn’t nothing, because it’s just a missed relocated, and the two strike up an opportunity,” Johnson says, pounding unlikely bond while trying to find on the table. “There’s nothing better Tip’s mom. than a super tasty meal that’s also realIn terms of structure, Home is ly filling and healthy for you. ...

ou’ll have to be OK with picnic casual: good food made simply by friendly people. If you like that, you’ll like Caspian Deli & Grocery — an unassuming Middle Eastern market on Pearl and 26th Street that does nothing but charm as soon as you walk in the door.

In fact, you might overlook the door. Sandwiched between Salvaggio’s and a store that sells afghan rugs, Caspian may be the place that you always drive past and just never stop into.

Well, time to stop.

You’re immediately met by smiles. Three women chatting around a clean, wooden table with a small vase in the middle. One of the women greets us and goes behind the counter. The assumption, prompted by posters so old, with such low prices and so curiously in good shape that they look like they were overnighted from 1992 Kuwait, was that I should get a gyro. The recommendation from our shopkeep was lamb loin and chicken curry over rice. That worked.

The woman went back and pulled a few things together in the small kitchen, and I browsed the store. The market side of the shop did not succumb to the haphazardry of other international markets. That is, it was clean, and all the products were fresh and without dust — a low standard, I know.

Looking through five varieties of rosewater and twice as many brands of grilled eggplant, it was easy to see the

and almonds — a Middle Eastern specialty. The raisins were plump black orbs that popped Caspian Deli & with juice and the Grocery orange rice was 2607 Pearl St., Boulder, dry, long and 303-443-1210 cooked to perfection. Also on the plate was a small salad with a zesty and medium-bodied dressing, red onion, cucumber and tomato.

There was also a fantastic yogurt on the plate that was sweeter than normal and without that dank yogurt tang. I mixed it in with the rice and chicken and had a blast.

The other dish was a lamb loin that was served on the bone and fell apart just by looking at it. It was clear that this masterpiece was cooked down for a day (or maybe even longer) in tomato and minimal spices. The meat had such deep character, and no gaminess, and the marrow and fat on the original loin we take the first bites, the woman who made me recall the recent greeted us heads out the door, arm study that “fat” is the sixth taste sense. around arm with a friend, laughing, Ending with a great baklava — never to be seen again that night and dense, moist cake with honey and before I can ask, “Where are you from,” brown sugar — I was happy to throw or “Who’d you learn to cook from,” or out the plates, chat with the new shop“What flavors of ‘Yuri’s Non-alcoholic keeper behind the counter about the Grain Drink’ should I get?” food and be on my way. Also casual But the food on the plastic plate tells (and perhaps a product of its location the stories for her.

It was nearly charred on the out$4 for some sandwiches. side; the meat inside was dark and Caspian is a great place to grab a savory.

That is, it’s worth stopping in a plate of rice pilaf cooked with raisins finally.

Stopping in, stepping out Caspian Deli & Grocery is great casual food with a story

by Matt Cortina care involved in stocking the store and that my assumption of Caspian being largely passed by must be wrong — they must turn over products quickly.

In the refrigerators were drinks from all over the Middle East, braids of goat cheese, giant jars of freshly pickled items, yogurts and more. There was just so much variety in things you never see one of at Whole Foods (there were like eight brands of Turkish delight), and that seems to be a good way to judge an international market.

We get the food and bring it to the end of the dining area that looks out on the business end of Pearl Street. As

VOLTA TO CLOSE WITH BANG

It’s a shame to see it go. Volta Mediterranean Restaurant, which Boulder Weekly recently reviewed (and raved about), is shutting its doors this Sunday, March 29.

“We are thankful for this opportunity to have served Boulder’s dining community,” said owners John and Eleni Deering in a press release. “We gave it all our love which makes our closing bitter- Greek dinner at Volta sweet. We will miss all our wonderful customers and friends and our special connections with our SAUSAGE FEST local arts community like the Dairy Center.

Barber, a chef, posits that a future “third plate” will emerge in the U.S. that will combine good farming practices with healthy and positive eating standards. He says the local food movement has “failed to change how we eat,” despite being heralded as the savior of local farms and the healthy American consumer.

“Farmer sales at our markets in 2014 reached a new record, with the largest growth occurring in Longmont,” said Mark Guttridge, board president for Boulder County Farmers Markets and owner of Ollin Farms. “This year we have some exciting new vendors as well as new events going on at the markets. Customers can expect to see more chef demos, kid’s activities, community collaborations, as well as new seasonal food festivals. The recent warm weather has allowed many of our farmers to get a jump start on the season, and greenhouses and fields are already filling up with crops destined for those first markets in April.”

Denver’s airport keeps Colorado well-positioned to supply fresh seafood.

GOFISH

judging by how quick Query picked his head up, was “Can seafood be good in Colorado?”

“When you look at airports as harbors and airplanes as boats, we’ve got the ninth largest harbor in the world in DIA,” Query says. “We have some of the most celebrated seafood restaurants in the world in New York City. They’re serving product from California and the Northwest Coast. They’re serving product from Hawaii. So, you know, somebody sitting next to the water in New York, they’re eating Hawaiian swordfish and saying, ‘This is the best seafood I’ve ever had.’ It flew five times longer to get to there than it did to get to here.

“I think the slam that you can’t get great seafood in Colorado is starting to fade,” Query says. “Twenty years ago, it’s all we ever heard, and we were serving as great a seafood then as we are now.”

As the market for seafood increases in Colorado (Query says 10 to 15 oyster bars have opened in the

How seafood gets from one side of the world to Boulder County

O

n a night when a man eats 72 oysters in 90 seconds, and that’s not even the most that night, one immediately hopes those oysters are fresh.

At the recent High West Oyster Fest, Chef Dave Query, owner of Big Red F restaurants, and Paul Packer, president of Northeast Seafood, one of the biggest seafood suppliers in the state, are standing around backstage and talking about seafood. Query sits at the end of a couch and Packer stands against the wall and strains his voice to talk about seafood, about which he is endlessly knowledgeable and passionate.

The immediate question, perhaps a little incendiary

Boulder Weekly

last year, and restaurateur Bradford Heap is soon opening a seafood restaurant across from Jax in Boulder), distributors like Northeast Seafood can bring in more product, which will reduce cost, increase demand and improve quality.

This all means that Packer becomes an important man in Boulder. He’s the man to meet all this seafood demand. Northeast Seafood supplies 100 percent of all Jax locations’ shellfish and about 90 percent of their seafood. Packer says during peak resort seasons in Colorado, his company delivers fish to about 500 seafood joints and sushi bars throughout the state.

Query says a better way to describe Packer’s ubiquity is, “Who don’t they service? Seriously.”

A Boston native, Packer started out in the seafood importing business by bringing in product exclusively from the coasts of Maine and Massachusetts — thus the name Northeast Seafood. Now he imports from as far as Chile, Norway and New Zealand.

Packer says the business of importing to Colorado (he also delivers to Montana, Wyoming and Kansas) has changed in the last few years.

“It’s become a global market, and the globe is shrinking when it comes to sourcing,” Packer says. “It’s become a very logistical business. It didn’t use to be nearly so much back in the days of big, wide-bodied see FISH Page 54

airlines flying everywhere. It was easy, and then the airlines all got in trouble, and if you’ve flown recently, you know you’re on smaller planes and they’re jampacked and so you don’t have these big containers that you used to be able to ship in.

“The other part is 9/11 made it very expensive. When we had that tragedy, they put in all the extra security in and screening and that just drove up rates.”

So what exactly then does a shipment from say, New Zealand to Jax in Boulder, look like?

“Let’s say the boats fish there, and they could be out three to five days,” Packer says. “So they come into Auckland in the port, and the fish are brought to a fish processing plant.

They’re prepped. Most of the stuff we’ll buy from there are in their whole form.

You got swordfish from there, we get a fish called John Dory, we get a fish called bluenose, different types of snappers. We also bring in green-lipped mussels and cockle clam. And all this stuff gets consolidated and is flown directly to the United States. The port of entry is Los Angeles. It gets to L.A., clears customs, our importer picks it up, and we get it the next day. Most of the time they’re flown in from LAX.” Packer says fish that arrive from Los Angeles are typically flown because they have a good system set up with that airport, but that most fish are shipped in tractor-trailers. In fact, Packer says he can get to Denver from anywhere in the U.S. in 33 hours, which is sometimes quicker than dealing with airlines and is a climate-controlled method of transportation — better than the possibility of leaving it out on a tarmac, which can exceed temperatures that insulation can’t help.

When it gets to the Northeast Seafood Denver facility, it’s repacked on one of 24 trucks and delivered statewide.

Sometimes those deliveries can be the same-day, but Packer says guaranteeing that is “flirting with disaster.”

Thus, from the waters of New Zealand to a plate in Jax, you can eat John Dory in less than a week. However, once it gets to Boulder, the logistics that made it possible to do that are reflected in the price.

“As with anything, when you’re bringing in a product, you have to factor in transportation costs and availability,” Query says. “Storms, certainly this last three weeks [in the Northeast], have made it really difficult to get product in.

Product has been more expensive. You have to look long beyond next week or next month when you’re doing this. We buy sometimes from [Packer] in larger quantities so that he can lock in prices so that he knows what’s coming.”

Packer says he has connections with fisheries around the globe and has people at auctions in Massachusetts and Hawaii, which occur every day, in order to get fresh fish at a good price.

“In general, you’re typically trying to create relationships with the resource.

[For instance], we try to buy from an Alaskan company who is based right in Cordova on the Copper River,” Packer says. “And most of the fisherman are independents. It’s truly the last bastion of entrepreneurship because if those guys don’t want to work, there’s nothing you can do to make them work. Our whole joke with Mexico is when these guys run out of drinking money they go back and fish because they need more money. Guys are motivated by different situations.”

Packer says, “once upon a time, all of ” the fish he sold was wild-caught.

Now it’s about half of that. And though it’s impossible to get wild-caught species year-round (by nature and to prevent over-fishing), some seasons and populations are being impacting by both environmental and man-made causes. He says despite the challenges, importing fish to Colorado is a “healthy business.”

“I try to tell this to people,” Packer says. “I say for everyone who wants to complain about a man-made disaster like an oil spill impacting the environment, Mother Nature can do it all by herself because this winter season in the Northeast has been horrendous. And we don’t even know what the long-term effects are going to be on the health of the oyster bays. We’ve been having trouble getting a rope cultured mussel out of Prince Edward Island, which is a beautiful agricultural product, but it’s under 4 feet of ice and then 4 feet of snow on top of that. So just getting to their racks, they’re cutting through barges to be able to get to the mussels.”

The solution to help a growing demand for seafood in Colorado and nationwide may be to support aquaculture ventures like, for instance, one in southern California where one group is growing mussels that are not native to the area. Packer also says the idea of promoting “trash fish,” or abundant species that aren’t typical on American menus, might not catch on because of American palates.

“Someone’s trash fish is someone’s treasure,” Packer says, adding that mackerel, sardines and monk fish all used to fall into that category simply because they have a strong flavor.

What’s clear from both Packer and Query is that the more thriving a market for seafood, the better the quality and the lower the price of the food. So, eat up.

ARIES MARCH 21-APRIL 19: The term “jumped the shark” often refers to a TV show that was once great but gradually grew stale, and then resorted to implausible plot twists in a desperate attempt to revive its creative verve. I’m a little worried that you may do the equivalent of jumping the shark in your own sphere. APRIL FOOL! I lied. I’m not at all worried that you’ll jump the shark. It’s true that you did go through a stagnant, meandering phase there for a short time. But you responded by getting fierce and fertile rather than stuck and contrived. Am I right? And now you’re on the verge of breaking out in a surge of just-the-right-kindof-craziness.

TAURUS APRIL 20-MAY 20: If you happen to be singing lead vocals in an Ozzy Osbourne cover band, and someone in the audience throws what you think is a toy rubber animal up on stage, DO NOT rambunctiously bite its head off to entertain everyone. It most likely won’t be a toy, but rather an actual critter. APRIL FOOL! In fact, it’s not likely you’ll be fronting an Ozzy Osbourne cover band any time soon. But I hope you will avoid having to learn a lesson similar to the one that Ozzy did during a show back in 1982, when he bit into a real bat — a small flying mammal with webbed wings — thinking it was a toy. Don’t make a mistake like that. What you think is fake or pretend may turn out to be authentic.

PISCES FEB. 19-MARCH 20: Annie Edson Taylor needed money. She was 63 years old, and didn’t have any savings. She came up with a plan: to be the first person to tuck herself inside a barrel and ride over Niagara Falls. (This was back in 1901.) She reasoned that her stunt would make her wealthy as she toured the country speaking about it. I recommend that you consider out-of-the-box ideas like hers, Pisces. It’s an excellent time to get extra creative in your approach to raising revenue. APRIL FOOL! I half-lied. It’s true that now is a favorable time to be imaginative about your financial life. But don’t try outlandish escapades like hers.

GEMINI MAY 21-JUNE 20: In the spring of 1754, Benjamin Franklin visited friends in Maryland. While out riding horses, they spied a small tornado whirling through a meadow. Although Franklin had written about this weather phenomenon, he had never seen it. With boyish curiosity, he sped toward it. At one point, he caught up to it and lashed it with his whip to see if it would dissipate.

This is the kind of adventure I advise you to seek out, Gemini.

APRIL FOOL! I half-lied. I don’t really believe you should endanger your safety by engaging in stunts like chasing tornadoes. But I do think that now is a favorable time to seek out daring exploits that quench your urge to learn.

CANCER JUNE 21-JULY 22: Novelist L. Frank Baum created the make-believe realm known as Oz. Lewis Carroll conjured up Wonderland and C. S. Lewis invented Narnia. Now you are primed to dream up your own fantasy land and live there full-time, forever protected from the confusion and malaise of the profane world. Have fun in your imaginary utopia, Cancerian! APRIL FOOL! I half-lied. It’s true that now would be a good time to give extra attention to cultivating vivid visions of your perfect life. But I wouldn’t recommend that you live there full-time.

LEO JULY 23-AUG. 22: “The national anthem of Hell must be the old Frank Sinatra song ‘I Did It My Way,’” declares Richard Wagner, author of the book Christianity for Dummies. “Selfish pride is Hell’s most common trait,” he adds. “Hell’s inhabitants have a sense of satisfaction that they can at least say ‘they’ve been true to themselves.’” Heed this warning, Leo. Tame your lust for self-expression. APRIL FOOL! I was making a little joke.

The truth is not as simplistic as I implied. I actually think it’s important for you to be able to declare “I did it my way” and “I’ve been true to myself.” But for best results, do it in ways that aren’t selfish, insensitive or arrogant.

VIRGO AUG. 23-SEPT. 22: No matter what gender you are, it’s an excellent time to get a gig as a stripper. Your instinct for removing your clothes in entertaining ways is at a peak. Even if you have never been trained in the art, I bet you’ll have an instinctive knack.

APRIL FOOL! I lied. I don’t really think you should be a stripper. But I do recommend you experiment with a more metaphorical version of that art. For instance, you could expose hidden agendas that are causing distortions and confusion. You could peel away the layers of deception and propaganda that hide the naked facts and the beautiful truth.

LIBRA SEPT. 23-OCT. 22: Give yourself obsessively to your most intimate relationships.

Don’t bother cleaning your house. Call in sick to your job.

Ignore all your nagging little errands. Now is a time for one task only: paying maximum attention to those you care about most. Heal any rifts between you. Work harder to give them what they need. Listen to them with more empathy than ever before. APRIL FOOL! I went a bit overboard there. It’s true that you’re in a phase when big rewards can come from cultivating and enhancing togetherness. But if you want to serve your best relationships, you must also take very good care of yourself.

SCORPIO OCT. 23-NOV. 21: It’s after midnight. You’re half-wasted, cruising around town looking for wicked fun. You stumble upon a warehouse laboratory where zombie bankers and military scientists are creating genetically engineered monsters from the DNA of scorpions, Venus flytraps and Monsanto executives. You try to get everyone in a party mood, but all they want to do is extract your DNA and add it to the monster. APRIL FOOL! Everything I just said was a lie. I doubt you’ll encounter any scenario that extreme. But you are at risk for falling into weird situations that could compromise your mental hygiene. To minimize that possibility, make sure that the wicked fun you pursue is healthy, sane wicked fun.

Dear Dan: My girlfriend can’t use hormonal birth control and “doesn’t like” condoms but wants sex. What would you do? — Paternal Anxiety Upsetting Sexual Escapades Dear PAUSE: I would fuck her in the ass, PAUSE, but only with her enthusiastic and sustained consent. And one day I would leave her, come out as gay and get myself a boyfriend who likes condoms and start fucking him in the ass instead.

Dear Dan: I recently started dating a girl who likes to be submissive. It’s more of a psychological thing than a pain thing.

She opened up about her kink, and I was all for it, thinking myself the ultimate GGG lover. Thing is, I find being a Dom quite boring. I love getting her off, but I just can’t get into the role. I’m not sure if this is funny or horrible, but the other day, she was strapped to the bed and just as she was reaching a climax, I stopped. I uncuffed her, told her I was leaving the room, and ordered her not to take the blindfold off or touch herself. She loved it, but I did it so I could go to the toilet and check my phone. I’d say something to her if I found it gross or it wasn’t working, but she enjoys it to the point where she has little interest in doing anything else. Even when regular intercourse takes place, there are still clear submissive overtones — to have vanilla sex at all, I basically have to lecture her first about her dirty ways to get her going. I like more “mutual” activities like 69ing, massages, etc. She seems open to it but then steers it back to her submissiveness. I enjoy sex with her, but this Dom/ sub thing is a roadblock to me getting off.

Am I just being self-centered?

— Dom Only On Demand Dear DOOD: All BDSM tops — all Masters, Mistresses, Pro-Doms, switches, vanilla-but-GGG partners of submissive types — occasionally check their phones, go to the toilet, take a snack break, etc., while their subs wait blindfolded or hooded back in the bedroom/playroom/dungeon. The sub gets to tremble in anticipation; the Dom gets to relax for a second. So taking a quick toilet/phone break doesn’t mean you are a lousy Dom, DOOD, but I definitely see why you’re bored: BDSM isn’t your thing, you’re doing it for her, and she’s taking you for granted. You’re being GGG (and indulging all her kinks); she’s not being GGG (she’s making it all about her kinks). Tell your girlfriend that she’ll have to lecture herself about her dirty ways when you two are having vanilla PIV sex, 69ing or swapping massages, if that’s what it takes to get her going, because you don’t want to have to play at being dominant every time you have sex.

I suspect the Dom/sub play will feel Boulder Weekly

SAVAGE

by Dan Savage

like less of a roadblock, DOOD, if every sexual interaction with your girlfriend isn’t colored by it.

Dear Dan: I love my girlfriend.

However, she has an issue with things she considers “icky” — like sperm, saliva, sex when menstruating and anal sex as well as the resulting santorum. She also regards

Love

dressing up for sex and talking dirty as silly. She enjoys sex just fine, but it is pretty plain vanilla. Any advice on how to move her in a more experimentalist direction would be appreciated. I am not looking to turn her into an anal fanatic or a sloppy blowjob queen, but rather for her to put aside her preconceived notions and give some things a try by embracing them fully.

— Wants It Less Tedious Dear WILT: Anal isn’t for everyone and sloppy blowjobs aren’t for everyone, WILT, but a fear of all bodily secretions — with the convenient exception of her own vaginal secretions — isn’t just sexnegative, it’s childish. Let her know that, as much as you love her, this relationship won’t last if she can’t get a little more comfortable with human bodies and the stuff that leaks from them before, during and after sex.

State cannabis campaign based on information, not retribution

H

Everyone I’ve talked with likes the ads, especially since there isn’t a whiff of fear or retribution in them. Stressing education and responsibility about cannabis use is a new approach for the state. In tone, style and approach,

they’re more like the Marijuana Policy Project’s Consume Responsibly campaign that began rolling out last year.

The $5.7 million drive, which is paid for by marijuana tax monies, began in January with radio ads and the launch of the Good to Know Colorado website. Around the beginning of this month, the television ads began to really kick in.

Watching them, I am reminded of something that Rep. Jonathan Singer, who doesn’t use cannabis, told me last fall, “We need to treat it like the drug it is and not the drug that some fear it to be.”

Singer has been quoted often saying this, but it is at the very essence of the legalization debate. Before 2014, remember the stories about how “officials fear an epidemic of teen use” or “a higher frequency of automobile accidents” or a “surge in crime?”

But there hasn’t been an epidemic of teen use or an increase in automobile accidents. There have been problems, notably with edibles education, and people like Singer are facing up to those as the legislature firms up laws it made somewhat hastily in 2013 according to the Amendment 64 timetable.

I have been a critic of the state’s “education” attempts for basing them on fear and stereotypes. Who could forget the “Drive High — Get a DUI” ads that clumsily poked fun at typecast young stoners doing stupid things while reminding people of the consequences of impaired driving?

Nothing topped last fall’s “Don’t Be a Lab Rat.” The governor’s misguided attempt last fall to use a MadisonAvenue styled campaign to frighten teenagers instead of educating them.

The ad included ridiculous, larger-

CE

NTR

than-life rat cages, a reminder that when it comes to ad campaigns, you don’t always get what you pay for.

Simple common sense ended that one rather quickly.

This is a much better effort, and if nothing else, it reminds us that cannabis users are little different from anybody else, except that they use cannabis.

Funding for this part of the campaign runs out in June, when the Department of Health will gauge its effects and reevaluate its approach.

Finally, some good news from the IRS, which backed off $25,000 worth of fines it had levied on Allgreens, a Denver marijuana business. After the company’s bank closed its accounts, it began making withholding tax payments in cash. The IRS demands withholding payments be made electronically, so while it was accepting the money, it was also fining the company.

Allgreens was paying its taxes on time, but the IRS originally ruled that non-access to federal banking wasn’t a good enough excuse to not pay electronically. The company filed a complaint in U.S. Tax Court, and the IRS settled the case by ending all fines on Allgreens and returning penalties already paid. Since there was no judgment, we won’t know if the IRS will treat other bank-less businesses in the same way.

You can hear Leland discuss his most recent column and Colorado cannabis issues each Thursday morning on KGNU. http://news.kgnu.org/weed

ave you seen the Good to Know Colorado marijuana ads on television? They use colorful cartoon characters, whimsical illustrations and a friendly, folksy voice that offers basic information about legalization. “Instead of telling you what you can’t do, we’re going to tell you what you can do, too.”

“Don’t drive high,” adds the voice, suggesting instead walking, skipping, frolicking or running. And it reminds tourists that they can’t take what they buy here out of state and suggests staying around a extra day to do a little camping, biking or dancing in the outdoors.

“When it comes to marijuana, it’s good to know.”

There is even advice on keeping your stash away from kids, suggesting locking it up behind your bookcase. The books on the shelf where the cartoon pot is hidden, in case you don’t catch them, are 1001 Broccoli Recipes, Structural Foundations of the 1890s, 101 Mathematical Dissertations, Dissertations on Development, Great Sales Conference Speeches, The Theory of Insurance and Making It as a CPA and Education Systems: A Guide. With those titles, it seems the perfect place to keep it away from children. Even most adults wouldn’t be interested in those titles.

CRUZ DECLARES WAR ON PEOPLE WITH BRAINS Well, it’s official. The 2016 presidential campaign season has left the dock with tea party playmate of the month Ted Cruz steering the ship. Cruz is now officially a candidate to lead the free world. He appropriately chose to make his presidential bid official during a speech at Liberty University, the fundamentalist Christian college founded by Jerry Falwell.

It was an appropriate venue because, as you may recall, it was Falwell who almost single-handedly gave birth to the misguided notion that God is a Republican politician who wrote the U.S. Constitution. Falwell, who died in Composite by Sue France 2007, and his successor cronies have been using this new brand of distorted polito-religion since the late 1970s to divide and weaken our democracy into the lousy mess you find it in today.

That being the case, Cruz really is the perfect person to help perpetuate the Falwell legacy in the never-ending war against anyone whose brain dares harbor thoughts contrary to the chosen leaders of Republigion.

In defense of people of faith everywhere, it should be noted that the only known instance of Jesus losing his temper was when he came in contact with people in the temple who had distorted religion into a way to accrue power and money. Just sayin’.

So the Republican version of the U.S.S. Minnow is now headed out to sea on a three-hour tour with Cruz playing the role of the Skipper. Oddsmakers are betting that Donald Trump will be cast as Gilligan but who really knows with these guys. Can you say, “Nine! Nine! Nine!”?

STUDY FINDS ROUNDUP ‘PROBABLY CARCINOGENIC’ Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Monsanto’s herbicide Roundup, which is the most widely used weed killer around.

In fact, the whole GMO (genetically modified organisms) controversy stems from Monsanto genetically engineering plants like corn, soy and sugar beets to be immune to the plant-killing qualities of Roundup so it can be sprayed on everything but only the non-crop plants die.

That all sounds great so long as Monsanto’s claim that Roundup is in case you harmless to people holds up.

Just got to point out here that Monsanto won’t allow it’s “Roundupready” crops to be studied by anybody it isn’t sponsoring to research them, but the company swears they are safe and most of the people taking their money say that too. Probably just a coincidence.

But hold your horses, somebody must not have gotten Monsanto’s “it’s all safe”

memo.

The International Agency for missed it Research on Cancer, the World Health Organization’s Francebased cancer research wing, has just released a new report that says Roundup is “probably carcinogenic.”

The report claims that farmworkers who use the herbicide have a slightly increased risk of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and also noted that there is “convincing evidence” that Roundup

Open 9am-7pm

causes cancer in lab critters.

This is bad news for all of us because you don’t have to buy and use Roundup to be contaminated. This poison is so widely used that research by the U.S. Geological Survey has found that in some heavily agricultural areas, glyphosate was found in 75 percent of all the air and rainfall samples collected for the study.

Don’t hold your breath (even though it might be healthier) waiting for our government to study Roundup.

Monsanto spends way too much on lobbying for that to happen.
