It’s good to keep sustainability in mind in all of our ongoing activities [Re: “Sustainability tax,” Cuisine, May 22]. But “sustainability” is something you DO, not something you buy with other people’s money. We have devoted a lot of time and effort, plus money and even land, into making our little farm more sustain-
able and eco-friendly. But after all that work, Boulderites think we should also give them money for their pet projects. Ostensibly the tax is to help local farmers. I respond, “Please don’t help us; we’re doing fine.” County thinking already shows the government tendency to simplistic see LETTERS Page 10

Highroad Bernanke’s cut of bankers’ bailout loot
by Jim Hightower
Boulder Weekly
Sustain yourselves
P
erhaps you’ve been wondering: How’s Ben doing? Extremely well — thank you, now that he has stepped down as head of the Fed. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke presided over most of the 2008 financial crash, the Wall Street bailout, the Great Recession, and today’s so-called “recovery-that-isn’t,” since 90 percent of Americans still have not recovered.
So what’s Ben been doing now that he’s no longer saving banksters with U.S. taxpayers’ dollars? Going to bankster gatherings to bask in their glowing gratitude — and collecting his cut of the bailout loot. In one week in May, Bernanke was in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday, Johannesburg on Wednesday and Houston on Friday, speechifying to global bankers and hobnobbing with hedge fund billionaires and economic titans. Each of these private chats put $200,000 or more into Ben’s pockets. He’s doing beaucoup of these cash-on-the-barrelhead BenFests for the likes of JPMorgan Chase, Blackstone Group and Morgan Stanley. In conferences and in small dinners at four-star restaurants, Bernanke is offering “words of wisdom” to barons of high finance he bailed out, in exchange for a ridiculous fee that most could not have paid without those rescue funds that the Fed chief extracted from you and me. But here’s an irony that’s gotta be

chapping Ben’s butt — some of the banksters he saved are refusing to play the payback game. Not because they’re bothered by the totally corrupt ethics involved, but because they’re balking at his high fees. Goldman Sachs, for example, which got a $10 billion bailout and whose CEO took $23 million in personal pay last year, says Bernanke’s $200,000 tab is too steep. Is there no honor among thieves? What’s this world coming to when the robber barons won’t toss a couple of hundred thousand bailout crumbs to Ben, their loyal servant?

B
y 1975, Robert K. Brown had 1) ridden the rodeo, 2) been a Golden Gloves boxer, 3) raised money for and tried to run guns to Fidel Castro’s guerrillas while they were still in the jungle, 4) broken with Castro after he came to power and joined multiple abortive plots to overthrow him, 5) been targeted by assassins sent by Rafael Trujillo, then dictator of the Dominican Republic, 6) served two tours as a combat officer in Vietnam, and 7) parachuted into the Peruvian mountains to provide disaster relief after the 1970 Ancash Earthquake (the worst in Peru’s history, 75,000 dead), among other things. Then he started Soldier of Fortune Magazine and began serious adventuring. Serious adventuring — Brown calls it “participatory journalism” — included everything from firing mortar rounds at Russian forts in Afghanistan, hanging with mercenaries in Rhodesia and antiCommunist guerrillas in Laos, rolling into Kuwait City behind the lead tank at the end of the Gulf War, dodging Serb snipers in Sarajevo, and searching for an extinct cow on the Ho Chi Minh Trail — and a lot more. Now, 39 years later, Brown has published his memoirs, I am Soldier of Fortune, Dancing With Devils. They are a
rollicking 400-page romp through more than four decades of wild adventures and misadventures all over the world. Soldier of Fortune (SOF) started in Boulder and is still being published in Boulder (from an undisclosed location in the heart of one of Boulder’s most liberal-voting precincts, amusingly enough). How did it all begin? Somewhere under the flagstone façade of the University of Colorado Chemistry Building, across the Dalton Trumbo Free Speech Area from the UMC, is a sign white-washed on the underlying concrete blocks in three-foot high letters reading “VIVA CASTRO.” It was painted at o-dark-thirty one night by Brown, a 1954 CU grad who had returned for graduate school after a three-year stint in the Army. He had gotten interested in the Cuban revolution and was raising money for Castro. Brown’s approach to student activism lacked subtlety. He would set up a 20 mm anti-tank gun with a long, menacing barrel on a table behind the UMC with a donation jar in front of it. People gave. After Castro rolled into Havana at the end of 1958, Brown went down to Cuba several times. It didn’t take him long to figure out that Castro was a see DANISH PLAN Page 9

Communist, and the revolution he had supported was turning hard left and anti-American in a hurry. So he connected with anti-Castro elements in Miami, some of whom were soldiers of fortune and soldier of fortune wannabes. Nothing came of their plots. When the Vietnam War started, Brown returned to the Army and served two tours in the Vietnam boonies, picking up a Purple Heart in the process. After he got out, he started doing freelance journalism, and a chain of events and contracts landed him in Rhodesia, where he met some British mercenaries who were fighting insurgents for the Rhodesian government. Over drinks, one of them told Brown that when their contract with the Rhodesian government was up, they were thinking of going to work for the Sultan of Oman, who was fighting multiple insurgencies of his own. Brown sent off for information about how to sign up. A couple weeks later he got back a 40-page information packet and sign-up forms. He didn’t sign up. But he took the packet, reproduced it, and bought a 1-by-4 inch ad in Shotgun News, which read “Be a Mercenary in the Middle East! All necessary info including pay and benefits. Forty pages. Send five dollars to ….” Orders poured in from all over the U.S. Having realized that the audience was out there, Brown decided to go from selling packets to starting a magazine. He put ads for the magazine in various gun publications — subscriptions one year for $8. In no time, he reached his goal of 4,400 subscriptions, which gave him $35,200, enough to publish four issues. That was the point at which he cashed the checks and started Soldier of Fortune — and never looked back. Soldier of Fortune is detested by liberals and leftists for any number of reasons, not least of which is the fact that the magazine writes sympathetically about, well, soldiers of fortune. Mercenaries have had a bad name in this country ever since the Hessian army was rented out to George III for counter-insurgency duty in North America. This is mean-spirited on our part, especially since we had soldiers of fortune fighting on our side as well — most notably the Baron Von Steuben (who, despite his inflated credentials, trained the American Army), the Marquis de La Lafayette, Casimir Pulaski and any number of other European romantics, adventurers, dreamers and dissidents. The difference was that the Hessians were a state-conscripted rent-an-army, while our guys were independent conBoulder Weekly
tractors (and consenting adults). My favorite Brown story remains one from the Gulf War in 1991, when Brown told a Wall Street Journal reporter: “I thought I’d be riding the lead tank into Baghdad by now. Instead, I’m stuck in a briefing room with the biggest bunch of boobs and dorks I’ve ever met.” The quote appeared on the Journal’s front page.
Baghdad wasn’t to be, but three weeks later, darned if he wasn’t in the column behind the lead tank rolling into Kuwait City. For the story of how he did it, you’ll have to read the book. It’s in chapter 29. It’s a great read. I stayed up past my bedtime reading it, and I go to bed at o-dark-thirty. [Full disclosure: I first met Brown in
April 1961 when I was a freshman reporter on the Colorado Daily. He was one of the first people I interviewed for the paper. In 1987-88 I was on the Soldier of Fortune staff. My name still appears on the masthead as “Gun Rights Editor.”] Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com This opinion column does not necessarily reflect the views of Boulder Weekly.
Did You Know? Truth about Antibiotics The drugs we have relied on for 70 years to fight bacterial infections-everything from infected cuts to potentially deadly pneumonia - are becoming powerless. Why? Because antibiotics are often misused by doctors, patients, and even people raising animals for meat. And that misuse, which includes prescribing or using those drugs incorrectly, breeds “superbugs” dangerous antibiotic-resistant bacteria that can’t be easily controlled. About 80 percent of the antibiotics sold in the U.S. are fed to livestock to speed growth and prevent disease in healthy animals, But that breeds superbugs, which can spread in the environment, contaminate our food, and undermine the effectiveness of antibiotics. We are very aware of this and that’s why all the meats we serve are from animals that have never been given growth hormones or antibiotics.

KEN SALAZAR AMONG FORMER POLITICIANS SITTING ON BIG MONEY It turns out that several former politicians are sitting on big stashes of political cash they no longer need for campaigns. Among them, Ken Salazar, who in 2009 left his post as a U.S. senator representing Colorado to become President Obama’s appointee as secretary of the Department of the Interior. Though the Democrat stepped down from the latter role in 2013, he still has $1.27 million in surplus campaign money, according to the Center for Public Integrity, a nonpartisan political watchdog group. How long has he had it? Apparently about a decade since the last time he ran for office was in 2004 in the Senate race against Republican Pete Coors. Salazar, who has no announced aspirations for political office, could, by law, donate the surplus campaign money to a charity. Will he give it, for instance, to one of the conservation-minded nonprofits he disappointed with his oil-and-gas friendly votes and initiatives over the Ken Salazar, former U.S. Representative years? That seems unlikely. The center and Secretary of the Intenrior quotes longtime Salazar aide Ken Lane as saying that Salazar “just doesn’t have any plans at this time” for parting with the money. The report also notes that some former politicians’ political cash earns interest in investment accounts. DNA LIKELY A FACTOR IN WHO YOU DATE In the world of slightly uncomfortable segues (read blurb above), researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder have learned that when people decide to enter a meaningful relationship, they’re more likely to be drawn to someone with similar DNA. “It’s well known that people marry folks who are like them,” says Benjamin Domingue, a research associate at CU-Boulder’s Institute of Behavioral Science. “But there’s been a question about whether we mate at random with respect to genetics.” The findings, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, examined the genomes of 825 white American couples, finding fewer differences in DNA between married people than randomly-selected individuals. Scientists found people’s preferences for a genetically-similar spouse are about a third as strong as their preferences for someone’s educational level — conclusions that could have implications for how experts understand the complex process of mating.

approaches — such as increasing organic farming on county land. “Organic” and “sustainable” are not the same! They are usually connected, but sometimes careful IPM results in less damaging chemical input. (People naively think organic means “no chemicals.” Wrong. It means “no unapproved chemicals.” It also means paperwork and strange rules.) Moreover, since organic growing is easier for some ag products than others, subsidizing organic can skew the market, even against crops more suit-
able to the area and/or with longerterm potential benefit. Regulations accompanying a sustainability tax are another big worry. Wyatt Barnes (quoted in the article) expressed concern about being “regulated out of business.” I’m more worried about Wyatt being “regulated out of Boulder County,” which would be a big loss for us. Finally, need anyone point out that continuous tax increases are not (economically) sustainable? Dick Dunn/Hygiene Boulder Weekly

A mural of “Los Seis de Boulder,” featuring the liknesses of Chicano activists Reyes Martinez, Una Jaakola, Neva Romero, Florencio Granado, Francisco Dougherty and Heriberto Terán who were killed in two mysterious car bombings during a 48-hour period in Boulder in 1974.
Los Seis de Boulder
After 40 years, the two car bombings that resulted in the deaths of six young Chicano activists are still the most important unsolved crimes in Boulder County history By Joel Dyer and Jefferson Dodge
A
t 9:47 p.m. on May 27, 1974, a car parked near Chautauqua Auditorium in Boulder exploded with so much force that it shook buildings and homes for miles around and could be heard throughout most of the city. The explosion killed the car’s three young occupants instantly: 26-year-old Reyes Martinez, his girlfriend Una Jaakola, age 24, and University of Colorado student Neva Romero, age 21. Just two days later, another car mysteriously exploded in suspiciously similar fashion in the parking lot of a Burger King at 1728 28th St., where four young men had stopped to buy beer at the nearby Pudlik’s Liquor. Killed in this second blast were Francisco Dougherty, 20, Heriberto Terán, 24, and Florencio Granado, age 31. The fourth man, Antonio Alcantar, survived the blast only because he was just returning to the car, beer in hand, when it exploded. His leg was blown off and he sustained other life-threatening injuries. It would later be determined that both vehicles had been destroyed by powerful homemade bombs composed Boulder Weekly
of as many as nine sticks of dynamite. Body parts of those killed were found up to a half-mile away from the destroyed vehicles. These grotesque scenes still haunt the Latino community to this day for a variety of reasons. The six who were killed 40 years ago this week were all friends and fellow Chicano activists who since their untimely deaths have been referred to as Los Seis de Boulder. These six young Chicanos were, and are still, powerful symbols within the Latino community, wherein many believe that they were assassinated either by the federal government or, at best, because of actions taken by the government. Those who blame the deaths on the federal government, primarily the Federal Bureau of Investigation, do so out of the belief that Los Seis were killed because of their political activism and, in some cases, leadership roles within the Chicano Movement. Unfortunately, such a belief is not out of the realm of possibilities, based on what we now know was happening to activists who encouraged political dissent and militant action among minority populations at that time. But there are other theories about what happened to Los Seis.
The FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and local law enforcement insist that the six young activists accidentally blew themselves up while trying to set the timers on poorly constructed homemade bombs they had built and intended to use to destroy unknown targets located in Boulder, Denver or elsewhere along the Front Range. Still others believe that the two bombings were the result of Chicanoon-Chicano violence that had erupted between rival factions within the movement. But even if this last theory were ever found to be true, it could still be explained as having resulted from government actions in the form of COINTELPRO — an acronym for COunter INTELligence PROgram — which was a controversial collection of often illegal operations conducted by the FBI beginning in the 1950’s and continuing into the 1970s. The purpose of these covert operations was to disrupt, infiltrate, discredit and destroy politically active groups such as the Black Panthers, American Indian Movement, Weathermen, Puerto Rican Independence Movement and various Chicano activist orgsnizations such as
the Brown Berets and the Denverbased Crusade for Justice. Other groups and individuals whom the FBI viewed as a threat to national security or the status quo were also targeted. COINTELPRO operations were even conducted on less militant activists like Martin Luther King, Jr., and Cesar Chavez. What is known for certain is that the truly unbelievably coincidental carbombing deaths of Los Seis de Boulder remain the most important and controversial unsolved crime in Boulder County history. The deaths of these young men and women had significant ramifications for the Chicano Movement in 1974 and are still affecting the ongoing quest for Latino civil rights and the return of traditionally owned Latino lands in the U.S. Southwest. Many Latino activists today, just as in the 1960s and ’70s, believe much of the Southwest including Texas, Southern Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and California were illegally stolen from them in the 1800s. What is also certain is that it is impossible to truly understand the story of Los Seis without viewing it within the context of what was happening on the CU campus and around the nation in the late 1960s and the first half of the 1970s. For Boulder Weekly, the story of Los Seis de Boulder has been a long time in the making. BW editor Joel Dyer began researching this subject some 15 years ago, just prior to his leaving the paper to write his first book. When BW became involved last See LOS SEIS Page 14

year with Marjorie McIntosh, the retired history professor at the University of Colorado Boulder who is spearheading the Latino History Project, an effort to document the largely missing history of Latinos in Boulder County, it once again provided the Weekly with the impetus to report on this important story. As BW’s Eracism series (the title of our collection of articles resulting from our collaboration with the Latino History Project) has unfolded over the past few months, we have been quick to point out the many contributions of McIntosh and her crew at the LHP. But this time around it is equally important for us to point out that our reporting on Los Seis has not been a joint effort with the Latino History Project, which has not provided any assistance to Boulder Weekly with its reporting on this controversial subject. As a part of our reporting on Los Seis over the coming weeks, we will be using some information about activism on the CU campus that has been provided by the Latino History Project, but that is the full extent of the participation of the LHP with regard to our reporting on Los Seis. When it comes to what was occurring within the Chicano Movement in the late 1960s and early ’70s and the law enforcement investigations into the car bombings and even into the FBI’s COINTELPRO operations, all such reporting is based on information gathered by BW alone. We are providing this disclaimer 14 May 29, 2014
because even after 40 years, the deaths of Los Seis are still a very controversial subject for many in the Latino community, as well as those within law enforcement. Though it has been four decades since the bombs silenced the voices of these young men and women, the pain and anger from this unsolved tragedy are still just below the surface, and it is clear that not everyone is interested in seeing this incident reexamined, even for the sake of history. The reason for this resistance is both evident and understandable. Those who knew and worked with Reyes Martinez, Una Jaakola, Neva Romero, Florencio Granado, Francisco Dougherty and Heriberto Terán, along with their fellow fallen Chicano leaders from the 1970s, Ricardo Falcón, Luis “Junior” Martinez and Carlos Zapata, want those who gave their lives to be remembered as heroes, as men and women whose powerful actions were taken for the benefit of Latinos everywhere, actions that resulted in them being murdered. Within the Latino community, Los Seis is a story of martyrs, and as such it has great power. The deaths of these young Chicanos can offer inspiration to generations to come as the fight for equal rights and justice for Latinos continues. So understandably, some fear that the reputations of those who died could be unfairly tarnished if examined too closely. While we understand this concern, we truly believe that a full examination of these men and women in the context of the times and in the light of the racist history that led them
to the Chicano Movement will only enhance their power as symbols of the continuing resistance against the forces of inequality. So how did Los Seis die? The multi-part investigative series that Boulder Weekly is launching today and will run in the coming weeks will not answer that question, at least not in the literal sense of who built the bombs, placed them into those cars and detonated them. There are no doubt people who can answer that question, but for now they have chosen not to do so. What we will provide is a look at the various theories and the evidence that has been gathered to date to which we could gain access. We will share what we have learned from our interviews and found in law enforcement files. We will offer our analysis of seemingly contradictory information and testimony of witnesses. In short, we will tell you what we know while acknowledging that it is an incomplete story at this time. We understand that even this process of sharing incomplete information is controversial, because we admit that even what appears to be hard evidence may not be that at all, since in some instances such evidence was actually fabricated by the government as a part of its COINTELPRO operations to secure convictions or hide the actual facts. A good example of such evidencetampering are the faked and concealed ballistics tests and coerced eyewitness accounts used in 1977 to convict American Indian Movement leader
Leonard Peltier of the murder of two FBI agents on the Pine Ridge Reservation in 1975. That said, we still believe that the more we know about what happened 40 years ago, the better prepared we are to see into the future. No matter what information we bring forward in this unsolved case, there is a truth that will remain intact: While we may not know who built and placed the bombs in those cars in 1974, we do know that Los Seis and their fellow Chicano activists died at the hands of injustice. From the earliest days, when the border of the United States crossed over their traditional lands, turning many Latinos into trespassers on the same community farms they had lived on and plowed for centuries, Latinos have struggled for equal rights and equal justice in the United States. As BW has documented in its Eracism series to date, the earliest Latino residents came to Boulder County because they either migrated here looking for work as legal residents of the American Southwest after being forced from their traditional lands or were imported here from Mexico as labor for the railroad, mining or agricultural industries. They were too often treated as chattel, their strong backs auctioned off to the highest bidder. Latinos were among the groups that the Ku Klux Klan discriminated against in Boulder County in the 1930s as they burned crosses and held rallies as part of their effort to get rid of minorities Boulder Weekly

or the 40th anniversary marking the deaths of Los Seis de Boulder, there will be a commemorative event at the Su Teatro Performing Arts Center located at 721 Santa Fe Drive, Denver. Doors open at 3 p.m. and the program starts at 6:30 p.m. The event is free to the public. For more information call 303-886-9477. The stated purpose of the event is to “honor the symbols of resistance, document our history and continue the struggle.” The event is a tribute to fallen Chicano activists including Los Seis de Boulder (Neva Romero, Una Jaakola, Reyes Martiinez, Florencio Granado, Heriberto Terán, Francisco Dougherty), Ricardo Falcòn, Luis “Junior” Martinez and Carlos Zapata, all of whom are all pictured in the wheel above.
such as Jews, Catholics and Latinos. In the 1930s, Latinos were deported en masse because even the Boulder County commissioners bought into the wrong-headed idea that poor Latinos would be an additional drain on the already stressed government subsistence programs of the Great Depression era. After World War II, returning Latino soldiers who had given so much in the defense of their country returned home to signs in storefronts that read “no dogs or Mexicans allowed.” It was an outrageous indignity, or more accurately, another outrageous indignity. By the 1960s, enough was enough. The civil rights movement was in full swing and women and minorities had finally found their collective voice and were demanding change. The civil rights movement and the anti-war movement together became a template for political action both peaceful and militant, and would influence the growing sense of activism among newly empowered Latinos who had finally found a path to college campuses. Boulder Weekly
It was the young Latinos who came to CU on scholarships provided by the federal government’s equal opportunity programs, coupled with the activism of the Crusade for Justice, that breathed power into what would become the Chicano Movement. It was a century and a half of racism and injustice that eventually led to the birth of the Chicano Movement, and it was the Chicano Movement that eventually led to the political activism of Los Seis, and it was that political activism that eventually led to their tragic deaths. One way or another, Reyes Martinez, Una Jaakola, Neva Romero, Florencio Granado, Francisco Dougherty and Heriberto Terán died for their values and their desire for fair and equal treatment for Latinos everywhere. In the next part of our series on Los Seis, we will examine what was happening on the CU campus in the early 1970s and the impact that it had on the lives, and potentially the deaths, of Los Seis in May of 1974.

Why Reps. Polis and DeGette voted against a bill to curb NSA data gathering
A
gainst the backdrop of the vast Edward Snowden scandal and a growing stack of news reports revealing massive top-secret data-gathering programs, Congress took its first step to curb government spying on ordinary Americans. In a 303 to 121 vote, the House of Representatives passed the USA Freedom Act (House Resolution 3361), sending it to the Senate for consideration. The legislation aims to “rein in the dragnet collection of data” by the National Security Agency and other government entities while increasing the transparency of the foreign surveillance court, according to sponsor Jim Sensenbrenner, the Wisconsin Republican who was a strong backer of expanding government surveillance in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Amid reports of broad government sweeps for Americans’ phone records

and other personal information under the George W. Bush and Barack Obama presidential administrations, Sensenbrenner now says, “I authored the Patriot Act, and this is an abuse of that law.” Yet Sensenbrenner’s effort to guarantee Americans’ privacy has fallen short amid last-minute changes to his legislation in the House, say critics like Rep. Jared Polis, a Boulder Democrat. Polis was an initial supporter of the legislation, but voted against it. “Unfortunately, the USA Freedom Act, which I cosponsored as introduced, has been watered down and co-opted to the point that it creates the possibility that NSA could misuse the bill — contrary to the legislative intent — to conduct broad searches of communication records,” he said in a statement. Rep. Diana DeGette, a Denver Democrat, also voted against the resoBoulder Weekly

lution. She said she initially supported it, but not after “significant changes were made late in the legislative process that would create loopholes that would allow collection of the very personal data we are trying to protect.” “I voted against this bill because I am concerned that it would allow the NSA to conduct mass surveillance with little oversight,” she said in a statement. “I hope that we can return to that balance as the legislative process continues.” Colorado’s remaining five representatives (Republicans Cory Gardner, Mike Coffman, Doug Lamborn, Scott Tipton and Democrat Ed Perlmutter) voted in favor. The legislation, as introduced, aimed, among other provisions, to end so-called “Patriot Act 215” collections of bulk data and require the government to more aggressively filter and discard information about Americans accidentally collected through controversial programs. Despite reports about the breadth of NSA data fishing last year, the number of requests for Patriot Act 215 orders didn’t drop by much. In 2013, there were 178 applications to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court — all of them approved, according to an April 30 public letter from U.S. Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Peter J. Kadzik to U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. The applications were for “certain business records (including the production of tangible things) for foreign intelligence purposes,” Kadzik wrote. The number of requests in 2013 was down from 2012, when 212 Patriot Act 215 applications were granted. However, 2012 had seen a 900 percent rise in such applications from four years earlier. Laura W. Murphy, who is director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Washington Legislative Office, said the resolution as passed by the House is imperfect, hinting it could spark a battle for fixes in the Senate. “While far from perfect, this bill is an unambiguous statement of congressional intent to rein in the out-of-control NSA,” Murphy said. “While we share the concerns of many — including members of both parties who rightly believe the bill does not go far enough — without it, we would be left with no reform at all, or worse, a House Intelligence Committee bill that would have cemented bulk collection of Americans’ communications into law.” — Michael de Yoanna Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com Boulder Weekly

over 100 times more heat than carbon dioxide,” says Howarth. The gases also leave the atmosphere at vastly different rates. Carbon dioxide stays in the atmosphere, on average, between 200 and 300 years. Methane lingers for about 12 years. Because of this difference, Howarth argues that the gases must be compared on a shorter time frame, a point of contention in the climate science world. Traditionally, scientists use a 100-year time frame to compare the effects of greenhouse gases, but when Howarth and colleagues compared methane and carbon dioxide over 20 years, global emissions of methane were equivalent to 80 percent of overall carbon dioxide emissions. Lawrence Cathles, a professor of earth and atmospheric science at Cornell who has done a good deal of work for the oil and gas industry, has disagreed with Howarth’s methane emissions research from the beginning. He says the time frame for comparison is irrelevant, and even inappropriate. “The climate forcing is the amount of methane or carbon dioxide in the atmosphere at any given time. It’s the concentration of gas that affects climate, not fluxes in and out of the atmosphere,” Cathles says. In his most recent paper, Howarth argues that the climate system is more immediately reactive to methane and other short-lived, heat-trapping materials such as black carbon, fine particles formed by the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, biofuels and biomass. “The IPCC has a new assessment and they say quite clearly it’s wrong to focus on the 100-year time frame,” says Howarth. “You need to look at both [the longer and shorter scales]. There’s nothing magical about 20 years; you could do ten years, you could do one year, you could do 30. The science is developed for 20 years. The numbers are easier to use. It doesn’t change conclusions if you use 10, 20 or 30 years.” In addition to using a shorter time scale, Howarth has been a proponent See NATURAL GAS Page 20

of using a top down approach to measuring methane emissions. This measures methane present in the atmosphere using planes and sensors, and then meteorological data and analysis to trace methane back to its source. The bottom up approach, used by the EPA, adds up emissions from sources on the ground, such as valves and pipelines, which Howarth says leads to underestimates from human error. “All of these top down studies are giving estimates that are much higher than bottom up studies. A lot of people in the scientific community think these are more robust measures,” says Howarth. “I think the science is still in its preliminary form, and I think it’s going to take another probably five years of dedicated science to really unravel what’s going on and get a scientific consensus, but top down numbers are coming in higher and I think there are reasons to think they are more robust.” Another methane study examioned by Howarth was completed in early 2014 by Adam Brandt of Standford University. The Brandt paper suggested total methane emissions were about 50 percent higher than EPA bottom up estimates. Garvin Heath, co-author on the Brandt paper, was quick to point out in his inteview with BW that the team didn’t find enough data to quantify exactly how much methane leaks from the natural gas system, he says the team believes that there is a critical need to get accurate estimates on methane emissions in order to prioritize carbon reduction plans, no matter the approach. “Measurements are essential to this process. It has to be done as a dual package, and we have to keep measuring to verify that our inventories are accurate,” says Heath. In his 2014 paper, Howarth points out the United States’ aging gas infrastructure. “Given the age of gas pipelines and distribution systems in the United States, it should come as no surprise that leakage might be high,” writes Howarth. “Half of the high-pressure pipelines in the United States are older than 50 years and parts of the distribu-
tion systems in many northeastern cities consist of cast-iron pipes laid down a century ago.” Though the Brandt study might show that the U.S. gas infrastructure is leakier than thought, that team still makes an endorsement for electricity generation through the burning of gas opposed to coal, which they believe makes a greater dent in total greenhouse gas emissions over 100 years. While natural gas used for transportation might improve local air quality, the team wrote that it would likely add to the effects of global warming. While Howarth agrees that switching from coal to natural gas to generate electricity might result in a “very modest” reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, he says keeping emissions within a safe range will require “unprecedented” investment in the natural gas infrastructure and an overhaul in regulatory oversight. “For any other use of natural gas (heating, transportation), the [greenhouse gas emissions] is larger than if society chooses other fossil fuels, even with the most stringent possible control on methane emissions, if we view the consequences through the [shorter time] frame,” Howarth writes in his most recent paper. When asked if we should give up on natural gas, Howarth answered with an unequivocal yes. “The idea of slightly reducing carbon dioxide emissions by switching from coal to gas simply aggravates the problem,” he says. “We’ve already warmed the planet by seven-tenths of a degree Celsius in the last 30 years. We’re on target to double that to 1.5 degrees Celsius, and in 35 years we’re on target to take that up to 2 degrees Celsius. Even if we work diligently to reduce carbon dioxide emissions now, that rate’s going to continue [to increase],” he says. “However, if we reduce methane emissions, we can greatly slow that rate of warming. We can keep the planet well below 1.5 degrees for 50 years or longer.” Howarth understands it might be

Top: Howarth’s research shows the greenhouse gas footprint of natural gas is larger than that of coal or oil when considered over a 20-year period. Bottom: Howarth’s newest perspective on methane emissions from natural gas reaffirm his position that natural gas is a “bridge to nowhere.”
hard for people to understand why a 2-degree change in climate matters, so he discusses “tipping points,” literal points of no return. A main concern is the massive amount of natural methane trapped in ice deep in the Arctic Ocean. Other researchers have suggested that warming of just under 2 degrees Celsius may trigger a large and rapid release of this methane. “There’s good reason to think that can start to happen,” says Howarth. “At our current rate of warming we run a significant risk of runaway global warming, at which point carbon dioxide emissions will be useless.” Howarth says the only way to avoid this runaway warming is to move society more quickly towards renewable sources of energy, primarily wind, solar and water. He says his goal with his latest Boulder Weekly
paper was to “focus and continue discussion” about how natural gas impacts climate change. “There’s a fair amount of misunderstanding, not only between the public, but in the scientific community,” he says. As for continued measurements of methane, he’s leaving that to the rest of the scientific community. “There are a lot of talented groups out there doing a great job. I can’t compete with them in terms of what they are doing. I’m confident that the scientific community as a whole is doing a great job.” Howarth concludes his recent paper this way: “Only through such technological conversions can society truly address global change.

boulderganic Can the state water plan bridge the gap?
Front Range, West Slope still miles apart on vision for Colorado’s water future by Bob Berwyn
W
Bob Berwyn
hen Colorado’s earth cracked open in the great drought of 2002, it may have also cracked open a new corner of consciousness about the finite nature of the state’s water supplies. Spurred by the drought, Gov. Bill Owens and Department of Natural Resources chief Russ George created a series of grassroots river-basin-based roundtables around Colorado and started crafting a statewide vision of how the state will allocate river flows in the 21st century. Ten years later, the process will culminate with completion of a formal state water plan, ordered by Gov. John Hickenlooper — but there will have to be some serious compromise on the “last 10 percent,” says longtime Colorado River advocate Ken Water inlet works at Dillon Reservoir. Neubecker, an associate director of American Rivers. But a round of draft documents posted in recent when there just isn’t any more water to fill those [new] weeks once again raises concern about a host of transreservoirs doesn’t make sense. ... There’s not enough to mountain water diversion projects that would require fill the reservoirs that are here now,” says Save the huge amounts of energy and disrupt communities and Colorado campaign coordinator Gary Wockner.

zombie projects revive visions of the old-school water wars that got Neubecker involved in river conservation back in the 1980s, when Aurora sought to siphon even more of the Eagle River’s flows across the Continental Divide. “I was fishing a lot on the river when I heard about it, and I remember thinking, ‘They can’t do that,’” he says. The statewide planning push is designed to seek consensus. There’s no question that the basin roundtable configuration has been an improvement over previous tactics, which consisted mainly of “throwing lawyers at each other,” Neubecker says. All in all, the process has been smooth. Each basin — nine, in all — carved out its own vision for Colorado’s water future. The regional groups have publicly posted “Basin Implementation Plans” for public comment. It’s a key step for the plan, because the final versions should reflect public concerns. In the spirit of the longterm planning initiative, there’s a user-friendly online portal that, for once, doesn’t look like a government website: https://www.colorado.gov/cowaterplan, literally begging for comment. Now that it’s time to put it all together, cracks are starting to show along traditional fault lines. Some of the big Front Range communities say the plan must include provisions to shunt more water from the Colorado River Basin to the Front Range. “They’re looking for certainty that there will be another transmountain diversion,” says Colorado River Water Conservation District spokesman Jim Pokrandt. “The Colorado River Basin Roundtable position is, to See WATER Page 24

SUSTAINABLE FASHION
Levi Strauss & Co. has a new idea for increasing the eco-friendliness of their jeans: They suggest wearing dirty jeans. At the Fortune magazine’s Brainstorm Green conference in Laguna Niguel, Calif. on May 20 about sustainable fashion, Levi Strauss & Co. CEO Chip Bergh told audiences that not washing jeans not only is better for the environment, but also helps keep them in newer condition. While the Levi company can make changes to the environmental impact of making jeans, Bergh noted that the impact lasts throughout the lifetime of the jeans. Only half of water use in the jeans business is from the production process itself, according to Fortune. So Bergh called for the reduction of water usage on the customers end, simply by not washing their jeans as often. Bergh noted that the jeans he was wearing at the time had not being washed in over a year, and said he has yet to get a skin disease. Levi’s VP of Women’s Design Jill Guenza has previously mentioned in an Elle magazine article that sticking jeans in the freezer can kill many of the bacteria, but not all of them, and curb the odor of the unwashed jeans. — Steven Kreimendahl

the degree that there ever could be one, it’s the last tool out of the box.” Neubecker goes further to say there simply is no water left to divert in the Colorado River Basin. Already, aquatic ecosystems are struggling in streams affected by existing diversions. Taking more water could push them over the edge. Recent studies show a big shortage looming within just a few decades, up to 3.2 million acre feet under moderate climate change scenarios. If there’s any common ground, it’s

that the shortages will be equally painful across the state. If, as projected, the Front Range population nearly doubles by 2050, it’s all but certain that those new residents won’t all be able to have bluegrass lawns. Already, 85 percent of the state’s population lives in the South Platte Basin, which is pushing for the new transmountain water diversion option. The South Platte Basin produces about 1.4 million acre feet of water annually, and already supplements that with 400,000 acre feet

of water from the West Slope, with 85 percent of the water used for agriculture. Whether all of Colorado’s ranches and farms will survive is questionable. Every day, water providers along the Front Range field inquiries from agricultural water users seeking to sell their irrigation allocation — at city prices. According to Neubecker, it’s an unspoken fact that the Front Range cities could meet most of their projected supply gaps with transfers from agriculture, but that there’s tremendous political
pressure to prevent the decline of the traditional industry. The pending showdown over the state water plan (a draft is due in about three months, with a fall 2015 deadline for the final version) shows once again the need to connect the dots between water planning, land-use planning and social, economic and cultural values associated with agriculture — not to mention the ecological values of healthy streams and rivers.

Still recovering, Lyons proud to host 13th Outdoor Games
Longmont’s own and pro BMX rider, Joey Cordova, returns for his fourth Games by Alex Solomon
T
he gravity-defying tricks pulled off by the professional riders partaking in the Lyons Outdoor Games are enough to satisfy those in attendance, but many watch the aerial display to get a glimpse of local bike riding legend Joey Cordova. Cordova, 29, grew up in nearby Longmont.
Boulder Weekly
The professional BMX rider, whose expertise in the biking field is dirt jumping, graduated from Skyline High School in Longmont and relishes in his participation at the Lyons Outdoor Games. “It’s a really good atmosphere,” Cordova says. “Lyons is a really great town with a lot of good people. Everyone involved makes the event really fun.”
Although Cordova moved to California seven years ago to better his career in BMX, he still has plenty of family in and around Longmont. The homecoming, which the Lyons Outdoor Games’ yearly invite provides Cordova, makes the competition especially significant to the local icon. “The Outdoor Games has a special place in my heart because my family and friends who I grew up with get to come and watch,” Cordova says. “It’s always cool to come back and see people who I know, and catch up with people who I haven’t seen in awhile, and perform in front of the home crowd.” On May 31, Cordova will be riding in his fourth Lyons Outdoor Games. His first appearance came in 2008 when he finished second see OUTDOOR GAMES Page 28

his love of launching of the jumps themselves. Cordova says the task of building Lyons Outdoor Games’ dirtjumping features will take roughly 30 hours, which he and a few others plan to complete over three challenging days. The course construction will undoubtedly be taxing, but the hard work will be well worth it if Cordova can put smiles on spectators’ faces, and possibly encourage a young fan or two to follow their own aspirations. “Everyone has a passion,” acknowledges Cordova. “Whether it’s bike riding, music, drawing, whatever it is, there is always something that each of us loves to do. Hopefully what I do can inspire people to do what they love.” 30 May 29, 2014
After the natural disaster that was the Colorado floods in September, it is simply inspiring that the Lyons Outdoor Games will take place this year at all. “It is an important year for us to continue to have the Outdoor Games, and progress the Outdoor Games,” explains Melis. “We want this to be the best event yet. This is a very significant year to bring the community out and set the tone for the rest of the summer, and do it all while fundraising to help the town get back on its feet.” The Lyons Outdoor Games is May 31, at Bohn Park in Lyons.

And predictably, plenty of them will get a week’s worth of decent shuteye at home before they go halfway mental and feel the need to climb into a van and go find a gig someplace, anyplace.

“Absolutely. Totally a growing process, because I’m still learning myself,â€? he says. “But I’ve always understood music theory very slowly. ‌ So I’ve tried to speed up my knowledge of traditional theory, where I’ve always focused on other types of music theory. For example, there’s no theory of dynamics and tone and space. All ear training deals with is pitch, but where’s the rhythmic training and all that other stuff? So that’s where I’ve usually focused my attention.â€?

And just who was the Uncle Clyde, the elder statesman, patterned after? Wooten laughs. “[All the characters] were based on real people. And Uncle Clyde is based off a bass player friend of mine named Chuck Rainey [longtime and much storied studio player]. Every time I do a camp just for bass players, Chuck is there.

Charlie Chaplin’s autobiographical ‘Limelight’ by Michael J. Casey
T
his year marks the centenary for one of cinema’s most important faces and minds, Charlie Chaplin. Kid Auto Races at Venice debuted on Feb. 7, 1914, ran 11 minutes and introduced the world to The Little Tramp. On May 4, 1914, Chaplin stepped behind the camera and began his 53 year career as a director with Caught in the Rain. For the bulk of his career, Chaplin functioned as writer, producer, director, editor, composer and star. The Gold Rush (1925), City Lights (1931) and Modern Times (1936) represent Chaplin’s high-water mark, but it all this came crashing down with Chaplin’s first all-talking picture, The Great Dictator in 1940. He was accused of being a communist sympathizer and suddenly found himself persona nongrata. He continued to work in Hollywood until his trip to London for the premiere of Limelight in 1952, when the British national had his reentry permits to The United States revoked. That background builds to the autobiographical Limelight, which will play June 4th at the Chautauqua Auditorium. Set in London but shot in Hollywood, made in 1952 but set in 1914; Chaplin mines material from his past, present and father’s life to make a movie dripping with melancholy. Calvero (Chaplin) is an aging vaudeville star that has lost his audience. His neighbor, a down-on-her-luck ballerina, Terry (Claire Bloom) tries to commit suicide. Calvero happens to be in the right place at the right time and sees to it that she gets back on her feet. Terry falls for Calvero and tries to get him Boulder Weekly
back on stage. Two performers, one on the way up and one on the way down meet in the middle — typical fare for melodrama, but Chaplin mines the material for something far more serious. A younger Chaplin would have made the movie with more joie de vivre, but reality weighed heavily on Chaplin’s mind. However, that does not mean that watching Limelight is a chore. Quite the contrary, as Limelight is loaded with excellent song and dance numbers that remind us that life may be tough, but there is no reason to get mired in it. Just try being sad when Calvero is reteamed with his old comic partner, played by Buster Keaton. Chaplin was not considering Keaton for the role, feeling that the part might be too small, but when he heard that Keaton was also going through a tumultuous time — the transition to sound cinema was not kind to Keaton and a move to MGM destroyed his career — he offered him the part. The few minutes featuring both Keaton and Chaplin — the only occasion that Chaplin and Keaton appeared on screen together — are a treat for any movie lover. There are some moments of Limelight that detract from its greatness: dialog delivered a tad too earnestly and some production aspects that look dated, are but slight hiccups in an otherwise excellent movie. There is an honesty in Limelight that keeps the material afloat. Characters will frequently look directly into the camera, telling us their story, begging that we pay attention, that we don’t forget, that they don’t slip out of the light.

cuisine A tradition, and a guild, unlike any other Boulder Butchery Guild imparts time-honored butchery skills to varied groups of students by Matt Cortina Veronica Volny/Boulder Butchery Guild
I
n Italy, Alberto Sabbadini’s family and neighbors butchered a pig every winter. His father or a neighbor would shoot it in the head with a .22-caliber rifle, slit its throat just so and hang it from a tree, snoutdown, to drain the blood. They’d catch the blood in a bucket to use for sausage and then begin scraping off the pig’s skin with rags soaked with boiling water. Then they’d eat breakfast. It is in this tradition that Sabbadini and Veronica Volny teach butchery at the Boulder Butchery Guild — a group of people who have taken one of several classes with Sabbadini and Volny and come back for more. Students work with Alberto Sabbadini at the Boulder Butchery Guild to break down a piece of After completing their first lamb. season on May 18, the Guild will resume classes in the Fall, open to foodies, amateur cooks, restaurant “where people have a relationship with Lark after being executive chef at The Connect chefs, plastic surgeons, accountants, the butcher.

going to be butchers in a month — but it’s a start.” Classes are held at Cure Organic Farm and typically consist of four students. The Guild provides all materials from aprons and knives to butcher paper and twine. The animals are killed and delivered beforehand. They are sourced through connections that Sabbadini and Volny have made with local farms through their previous work. However, they hope their students can make similar connections with farmers to source their own meat in the future. This season, students worked with three breeds of pig from Cure Organic Farm, lambus from Connect with Leistekow Farms, chicken from Jodar Farms and rabbit from Jacob Springs and Stan’s. The Guild’s success — all of its spring classes sold out — is due in part to people’s increased interest in where their food comes from, Volny says. “I think it’s a reaction to the greater awareness of the food system being see BUTCHERY Page 52

Due to highly-restrictive laws regarding zoning, late-night snacking from food trucks has been a dream long deferred in Boulder. But change may be on the way.

CLIMATE CHANGE TAKES A BITE OUT OF YOUR DINNER
Climate change could reduce global food growth by two percent each decade for the rest of this century, according to the Chicago Council on Global Affairs. Their report, Advancing Global Food Security in the Face of a Changing Climate, says higher temperatures, changes in rainfall and natural disasters caused by climate change will undermine food supplies and production. The report calls on the U.S. government to pass legislation for a long-term global food and nutrition security strategy to increase funding for agricultural research in regards to climate change effects; increase funding for partnerships with U.S. universities and universities/research centers of low-income countries to train next-gen agricultural leaders; and urge that food security be addressed at the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change. Climate change and food security expert Gerald C. Nelson authored the report with support from The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and PepsiCo. A bipartisan group of scientists, business and policy leaders led by former U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Dan Glickman and president emeritus of The Asia Foundation, Doug Bereuter, endorsed the recommendations.

cuisine review Susan France
I
n the 2004 movie Dodgeball, there is a scene in which the lead, played by Vince Vaughn, walks into the house of his love interest, Kate Veatch, played by Christine Taylor, for the first time and finds himself in a full-on unicorn den, surrounded by hundreds and hundreds of toys, models, stuffed animals and porcelain statues. Vaughn’s eyes bulging and his mind reeling, Taylor deadpans: “I like… unicorns.” It’s hard not to think of that scene walking into Korea House in North Boulder. The unassuming stripmall storefront on the side of 28th gives no hint of what is contained within: numerous paintings, tchotchkes and shrines to beer and more. It is the opposite of a zen garden, somewhere between the cluttered majesty of a curio shop and the gilded opulence of a Thai temple, and as Korea House is fairly intimate, with only a dozen or so tables, it comes at you pretty quick. But unlike Dodgeball, there’s no simple explanation, just a friendly smile, a menu and a table that you may have to share with a monkey statue. And despite the glory of being someplace so unabashedly unexpected, once you sit down is when the good

stuff actually starts. Though the menu includes a selection of sushi rolls and a rotating selection of Japanese items, most of what to expect from the menu is in the name Korea House: Korean food. The lesser-known and less diverse cousin of Japanese barbecue, traditional Korean dishes tend to lean close to Japanese bento boxes on a macro level, but bring their own flavors and flare to
the table. Korea House does a fantastic job with one of Korea’s signature dishes, bibimbap ($10.50), a bowl of rice covered up with a colorful array of shredded veggies, your choice of meat or tofu and a lightly cooked egg with the yolk still gooey. Korea House’s beef had a rich umami, and the shredded veggies were dressed in a sweet vinegar that gave the dish a light taste, even slath-
ered in the housemade sriracha and paired with the order of pickled cabbage served on the side. The beauty of the bibimbap is that the combination of items are all so good that it’s hard to screw up, but still, Korea House’s take on the dish was as strong as I’m sure any future audition tape they make for the show Hoarders will be. Another Korean standard is bulgogi, a flavorful approach to barbecuing beef. Korea House offers it in a bento box with rice and vegetables and your choice of dumplings or chicken for $10.50-$10.99. Another item on the menu it’s hard to ignore is in the appetizers section: monkey brains ($7.50), which brings to mind a different scene in a different movie: Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, in which Harrison Ford is served a monkey with its head chopped open. Yum. But be warned: it’s actually spicy tuna atop a fried avocado, not actual monkey brains. Sigh. And while it is tasty, it is not available on the lunch menu. Korea House also offers a series of prix fixe meals featuring paired selections of menu specialities and drinks for prices ranging from $17.99-$45.99. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

Barley, hops and gluten by Amber Erickson Gabbey
L
ate night host Jimmy Kimmel recently sent a camera crew out on the streets of LA to ask people who didn’t eat gluten just what it is. Perhaps the biggest dietary trend of the decade, glutenfree is a $7 billion industry. But, predictably, comically, most couldn’t say just what gluten was, only that they were avoiding it. Gluten is a protein in some grains, like wheat and barley, commonly used in pasta, bread and, yes, beer. Gluten-free diets started because of Celiac disease, a serious condition in which people can’t tolerate gluten. Currently, 1 in 133 people have Celiac and 7 percent of people report having non-Celiac sensitivity. Gluten sensitivity, where you show signs of intolerance, but don’t have Celiac, is a hot-button topic as new research suggests it may not exist as anything other than a psychological condition. Interestingly, of this $7 billion industry, half of purchases come from people without sensitivities. What can’t be denied is that whether it’s medical or preference, gluten-free is changing things. With gluten issues four times more common now than 50 years ago, in a country that consumes 6 billion gallons of beer a year, it’s not surprising that brewers are paying attention. “Customers were asking for more safe options for Celiac or glutenintolerance,” says Susan Green, co-owner of The Very Nice Brewing Company in Nederland, “so we made some changes.” Which begs the question: how the heck can beer be gluten-free? Beer is made from water, a glutinous grain (usually malted wheat or barley), yeast and hops. Making a gluten-free beer means using grains naturally free of gluten, like sorghum, millet or buckwheat. The problem is that grains have different tastes and properties. Wheat and barley are old standbys because they consistently create a great product — these starches are time-tested and taste-approved. Boulder Weekly
Other starches, especially sorghum, require a bunch of experimentation. The challenge for brewers is to use nontraditional ingredients, but create a brew that looks and tastes like regular beer. Yeah, no big deal. “We spend literally all our time trying to build the flavor profile and make it taste like beer,” says Peter Archer from Boulder-based New Planet Beer, an exclusively gluten-free brewing company. Gluten-free is still new to brewing. Only a handful of brewers worldwide are doing 100 percent gluten-free, including New Planet, which primarily uses sorghum. Interestingly enough, the Great American Beer Festival started a gluten-free beer category in 2007. The category was dominated by RedBridge by Anheuser-Busch and New Grist by Lakefront Brewery at first, but now avern) ports T S ’s ie includes more competition h rly Ralp (Forme with enhanced taste and quality. With the influx of people going glutenfree, either because of Celiac, intolerance or preference, this side of the industry will continue to grow. The biggest gluten-free news for brewers is a gluten-removing enzyme. Omission by the Craft Brew Alliance and most brews at Very Nice are made with gluten-containing barley or wheat, but then adding this enzyme removes most of the Phil Mudrock gluten. These brews are called –1963 gluten-reduced. They can’t label as gluten-free because not all gluten is removed, but they are considered safe for most people with gluten intolerance. The beers taste exactly the same, but with hardly any gluten — it’s actually quite brilliant. Although the industry says gluten-reduced may not be safe for severe intolerance, Green says many customers drink their brews without issue. $1 Off all Draft Beer Brewery Rickoli in Wheat Ridge cur$2.50 Wells rently offers all their beers gluten(minimum order of 6) Happy Hour Food Menu reduced and others, such as Kokopelli Beer Company in Westminster, have some options available.

SAVAGE by Dan Savage
Dear Dan: I can orgasm without stimulating my clitoris — but only through anal sex. What gives? A Nosy Admiring Lass Dear ANAL: The Lord giveth, ANAL, and it seems He gave you an amazing superpower. I wouldn’t question it too much, lest the Lord peg you for an ingrate and taketh away. Dear Dan: I’m a 25-year-old lesbian, and I live with my partner of two years. My family is coming to visit from Texas, where they are part of a hyperconservative church. I’m not out to my mom. While I want this to be a happy occasion, I’m not willing to hide who I am in my own home. My sister owes me one from when I told our mom — at her request — that she was pregnant because she feared her reaction. I’m considering asking my sister to out me to my mom so that maybe she’ll be done screaming and yelling by the time she arrives. I know this is chickenshit, but I can’t bring myself to come out to her. I’ve tried before and can’t summon the courage. Anxiously Fearing Repulsive And Irrational Diatribes Dear AFRAID: My advice for you is the same as my advice for all queer kids with crazy, hyperconservative parents: Don’t fear their rejection — make them fear yours. Tell your mom you’re queer, AFRAID, and then tell her that you won’t speak to her or see her if she can’t treat you and your partner with respect. Remember: The only leverage an adult child has over her parents is her presence. If your mom treats you like shit, absent yourself. If she’s rude to you in your own home, kick her ass out. You’re a grown woman, and it’s time to stop being scared of mommy. Dear Dan: My boyfriend and I have been together for four years, and we have a great relationship. In the bedroom, I am generally the bottom but I play an equal role during sex — neither dominant nor submissive — and in general, we have great sex. But both of us have things that we like to do that the other is not a big fan of. I enjoy being the bottom, but I like to top as well. My partner, who does not particularly enjoy bottoming, is turned on by the idea of the other person being submissive. Both of us are GGG and willing to explore these things together. But is it okay to put limits on how often this happens? (Me submitting to him, him bottoming for me?) What about striking a deal where each person gives a little? How Boulder Weekly
Love
do we compromise, keep it fun, and keep our GGG status intact? Quid Pro Quo Dear QPQ: What I’m about to propose may seem elaborate, QPQ, but bear this in mind while you read my advice: Marijuana is legal where I live. Take the average number of times you two have sex in any given month and divide that number in half, then divide it in half again. You each get a stack of red poker chips equal to whatever the third number is plus one blue poker chip. So let’s say you guys have sex 12 times a month on average. Half of 12 is six, half of six is three — you each get four chips: three red, one blue. (You still with me? Good. Man, I could use some chips right now myself.) You keep your chips on your nightstand, and your boyfriend keeps his chips on his. On nights when you want to top your boyfriend, you hand him one of your red chips. On nights when he wants you to be submissive, he hands you one of his red chips. If he doesn’t want to bottom for you on a night when you hand him a chip, he can veto your red chip by surrendering one of his. Likewise, you can veto one of his red chips by surrendering one of yours. When a veto is played, you default to the sex you have most of the time, i.e., your “regular” sexual routine (which seems to entail you bottoming for him as his equal), and the chip used to veto is forfeit. You each have to use your three red chips in one calendar month — an unused chip doesn’t carry over to the next month. Basically, QPQ, you have three chances per month to top him, and he has three chances per month to dominate you. If he wants to deny you one of your chances to top him, he loses one of his chances to dominate you. You don’t have to be submissive when you’re not feeling it, and he doesn’t have to bottom when he’s not feeling it. But if you never agree to submit — if you veto all of his requests — you never get to top him. If he never agrees to bottom, then he never gets to dominate you. And what’s the blue chip for? It’s a “free veto,” a chip you can sacrifice without giving up one of your chances to fuck or dominate the other. So there you go! With the help of legal marijuana, I’ve turned your compromise into a sexy game. Have fun! Respond to letters@boulderweekly.com mail@savagelove.net @fakedansavage on Twitter

“When I was young,” wrote French author Albert Camus, “I expected people to give me more than they could — continuous friendship, permanent emotion.” That didn’t work out so well for him. Over and over, he was awash in disappointment. “Now I have learned to expect less of them than they can give,” he concluded. “Their emotions, their friendship, and noble gestures keep their full miraculous value in my eyes; wholly the fruit of grace.” I’d love to see you make an adjustment like this in the coming months, Aries. If you do, the astrological omens suggest you will experience a blessing like Camus’.
TAURUS
APRIL 20-MAY 20:
LIBRA
SEPT. 23-OCT. 22:
For German physicist Arnold Sommerfeld, the good news was that he was nominated for the Nobel Prize 81 times. The bad news is that he never actually won. Actor Richard Burton had a similar fate. He was nominated for an Academy Award seven times, but never took home an Oscar. If there is anything that even vaguely resembles that pattern in your own life, Libra, the next 12 months will be the most favorable time ever to break the spell. In the next few weeks, you may get a glimpse of how it will unfold.
SCORPIO
Some earthquakes happen in slow-motion. These rare events occur 22 to 34 miles down, where tectonic plates are hotter and gooier. Unlike the sudden, shocking jolts of typical temblors, this gradual variety can take many days to uncoil and never send dishes flying off shelves up here on the earth’s surface. I suspect your destiny will have a resemblance to this phenomenon in the coming months, Taurus. Your foundations will be rustling and rumbling, but they will do so slowly and gently. The release of energy will ultimately be quite massive. The realignment of deep structures will be epic. But there will be no big disturbances or damages.
OCT. 23-NOV. 21:
GEMINI
SAGITTARIUS
I suspect that some night soon you will have a dream of being naked as you stand on stage in front of a big audience. Or maybe not completely naked. There’s a strong possibility you will be wearing pink and green striped socks and a gold crown. And it gets worse. In your dream, I bet you will forget what you were going to say to the expectant crowd. Your mouth will be moving but no words will come out. So that’s the bad news, Gemini. The good news is that since I have forewarned you, you can now do whatever is necessary to prevent anything resembling this dream from actually occurring in your waking life. So when you are called on to show what you’ve got and make a splashy impression, you will be well-prepared.
“Longing, what is that? Desire, what is that?” Those are questions Louise Gluck asks in her poem “Prism.” Does she really not know? Has she somehow become innocent again, free from all her memories of what longing and desire have meant to her in the past? That’s what I wish for you right now, Sagittarius. Can you do it? Can you enter into beginner’s mind and feel your longing and desire as if they were brand new, just born, as fresh and primal as they were at the moment you fell in love for the first time? If you can manage it, you will bestow upon yourself a big blessing.
CANCER
You could really benefit from engaging with a compassionate critic — someone who would gently and lovingly invite you to curb your excesses, heal your ignorance, and correct your mistakes. Would you consider going out in search of a kick-ass guide like that? Ideally, this person would also motivate you to build up your strengths and inspire you to take better care of your body. One way or another, Capricorn, curative feedback will be coming your way. The question is, will you have a hand in choosing it, or will you wait around passively for fate to deliver it? I highly recommend the former.
MAY 21-JUNE 20:
JUNE 21-JULY 22:
When I slip into a meditative state and seek insight about your future, I have a reverie about a hearty sapling growing out of a fallen tree that’s rotting on the forest floor. I see exuberant mushrooms sprouting from a cowpie in a pasture. I imagine compost nourishing a watermelon patch. So what do my visions mean? I’m guessing you’re going through a phase of metaphorical death and decay. You are shedding and purging and flushing. In the process, you are preparing some top-notch fertilizer. It won’t be ready for a while, but when it is, a growth spurt will begin.
LEO
JULY 23-AUG. 22:
“Dear Diary: Almost everything that was possible to change has changed these past 12 months. I am not kidding and I am not exaggerating. Getting just one of my certainties destroyed would have been acceptable; I long ago became accustomed to the gradual chip-chip-chipping away of my secure foundations. But this most recent phase, when even my pretty illusions of stability got smashed, truly set a record. So then why am I still standing strong and proud? Why is it I’m not cowering in the corner muttering to the spiders? Have I somehow found some new source of power that was never available to me until my defenses were totally stripped away? I think I’ll go with that theory.”
VIRGO
AUG. 23-SEPT. 22:
About 32,000 years ago, squirrels in northeast Siberia buried the fruits of a flowering plant deep in their burrows, below the level of the permafrost. Then a flood swept through the area. The water froze and permanently sealed the fruits in a layer of ice. They remained preserved there until 2007, when they were excavated. A team of scientists got a hold of them and coaxed them to grow into viable plants. Their success has a metaphorical resemblance to a project you will be capable of pulling off during the next 12 months, Virgo. I’m not sure what exact form it will take. A resuscitation? A

resurrection? A recovery? The revival of a dormant dream? The thawing of a frozen asset or the return of a lost resource?
“I should have kissed you longer.” I hope you won’t be replaying that thought over and over again in your imagination three weeks from now. I hope you won’t be obsessing on similar mantras, either, like “I should have treated you better” or “I wish I would have listened to you deeper” or “I should have tried harder to be my best self with you.” Please don’t let any of that happen, Scorpio. I am begging you to act now to make any necessary changes in yourself so that you will be fully ready to give the important people in your life the care they deserve.

Now would be an excellent time for you to dream up five new ways to have fun. I’m not suggesting there’s anything wrong with your existing methods. It’s just that in the next few weeks, life will conspire to help you drop some of your inhibitions and play around more than usual and experience greater pleasure. The best way to cooperate with that conspiracy is to be an explorer on the frontiers of amusement and enchantment. What’s the most exciting thing you have always wondered about but never done? What interesting experiment have you denied yourself for no good reason? What excursion or adventure would light up your spontaneity?
PISCES
FEB. 19-MARCH 20:
Now is an excellent time to transform your relationship with your past. Are you up for a concentrated burst of psychospiritual work? To get the party started, meditate your ass off as you ponder this question: “What fossilized fixations, ancient insults, impossible dreams, and parasitic ghosts am I ready to let go of?” Next, move on to this inquiry: “What can I do to ensure that relaxed, amused acceptance will rule my encounters with the old ways forever after?” Here’s a third query: “What will I do with all the energy I free up by releasing the deadweight I had been clinging to?”

Sessions and others who support the War on Here we have corporate America spending bilDrugs continue to believe that somehow demonizing lions of dollars every year drug-testing employees, cannabis will keep it away from teenagers. Which, if mostly to eliminate cannabis users, apparently lulled memory serves, hasn’t worked too well in the years into thinking that by doing so it is attracting only since the Reagans came up with Just Say No. the best and brightest. Meanwhile, as our tax dollars continue to be
pissed away, millions of Americans continue to use cannabis, many daily, in all age groups, and function like anyone else. Hundreds of thousands of Coloradans use cannabis and have been part of the workforce for decades. Legalization hasn’t changed anything in that regard. The only difference is where they are purchasing it. Further evidence of the disapprobation about cannabis was the recent brush-up over the Denver Symphony’s “bring your own weed” benefit concerts. I waxed enthusiastically about the series after it was announced. In response, the Denver city attorney sent a bullying letter to the symphony, warning that cannabis violations would be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. This was interesting, since what the symphony planned — a private party with an entry price of $75, open to adults only — appeared to be legal under Amendment 64. It just pissed off those who don’t like seeing cannabis associated with something like the arts. The compromise required the symphony to remove the concerts from its website, refund ticket sales, make it invitation-only and wall off the outdoor patio where guests could indulge. This could have been done easily enough without the public spat the city seemed intent upon. The event, like retail sales here, went off without a hitch, and was covered by The New York Times, which used a photo of Boulder lobbyist/advocate Shawn Coleman lighting a blunt over a story that treated it with the cultural respect it deserved. And with it, cannabis steps further into the mainstream. The Times won’t be back this summer. All in all, it was just another funding night for the symphony, which raised 50,000 needed dollars. Some of that money probably even came from hackers. We can all look forward to the day when all this is no longer considered news. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com
