Citizens push back against draft legislation on local control of gas drilling, fracking

On Friday [ June 6], Governor Hickenlooper released draft legislation on local control that would call a special session of the Colorado legislature to consider a bill that could jeopardize the ability of local jurisdictions to protect themselves from drilling and fracking for gas

and oil within their boundaries. In response, Frack Free Colorado, Our Broomfield, Citizens for a Healthy Fort Collins, Our Longmont, Sierra Club, Environment Colorado, Food & Water Watch released the following statements: “This ‘compromise’ is a sweetheart deal for the oil and gas industry. The thousands of moms, dads and community members in Broomfield who voted to

protect our constitutional rights were not consulted on this proposal. We are adamantly opposed to it,” said Laura Fronckiewicz with Our Broomfield. “We are deeply dismayed that this proposal will not protect the will of tens of thousands of Fort Collins residents who voted to protect public health, safety

the chief exploiters of millions of lowwage American workers. They’re rank profiteers, constantly lobbying in Congress, states, and cities to hold down working families, even as they wallow in record profits and shell out exorbitant, multimillion-dollar paychecks to their top executives. When the people of Seattle recently agreed to raise the minimum pay in their city to $15 an hour, an outfit called the International Franchise Association wept crocodile tears for local small business owners, pledging to sue the city to overturn the “unfair” wage law. Don’t look now, but IAF is not local and does not represent mom & pop. It’s a Washington, D.C., lobbying consortium made up of franchised corporate chains intent on keeping America’s wage floor beneath the poverty level. The chairman of IAF’s executive committee is a McDonald’s executive. Its board of directors sparkles with a

hen corporate lobbyists and the Congress critters they control attack efforts to raise the minimum wage to at least a bare level of human decency, they always try to cast the issue as an intolerable squeeze on struggling mom & pop stores. But wait — what are those growling gorillas doing behind mom & pop’s cash register? Why they’re multibillion-dollar, brand-name chains. These corporate behemoths — not mom & pop — are

who’s who of superwealthy corporations, including Coca Cola, Marriott Hotels, Dunkin Donuts, Pepsi Food Services and Taco Bell. Excuse me if I don’t weep over the “tragedy” of them finally being made to pay honest wages. While our thoroughly corporatized Congress continues to side with such low-wage exploiters, cities and states across the country are standing up for America’s workaday majority and the common good. Paying a fair wage is not a matter of corporate accounting, but a measure of our wealthy society’s moral character.

Boulder Weekly ho are you going to believe — Senator Elizabeth Warren or Congressman Jared Polis? At Public Citizen’s annual gala in May, Warren launched an attack on backroom trade deals such as the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) currently being negotiated: “From what I hear, Wall Street, pharmaceuticals, telecom, big polluters and outsourcers are all salivating at the chance to rig the deal in the upcoming trade talks. So the question is, Why are the trade talks secret? You’ll love this answer. Boy, the things you learn on Capitol Hill,” Warren said. “I actually have had supporters of the deal say to me ‘They have to be secret, because if the American people knew what was actually in them, they would be opposed.’ “Think about that. Real people, people whose jobs are at stake, small-business owners who don’t want to compete with overseas companies that dump their waste in rivers and hire workers for a dollar a day — those people, people without an army of lobbyists — they would be opposed. I believe if people across this country would be opposed to a particular trade agreement, then maybe that trade agreement should not happen.”

By contrast, Congressman Polis has straddled the fence on both fast track authority and the TPP. He is “troubled by the lack of transparency in the U.S. TPP negotiations” and says he won’t support a deal which undermines protections for the environment, consumers and workers. But he gets wishy-washy. In a letter to a constituent, he said: “You are exactly right that the United States must not sign on to any trade pact that has the power to reverse laws passed within our borders, and you may be pleased to know that under the TPP, no government — whether local, state, or federal — can ever be forced to change its laws or regulations. I would never support any deal that undermined municipal laws — such as the local fracking bans many communities in our district have passed through referenda — or compelled our cities and towns to use foreign products over locally produced goods. In addition, some labor groups have rightfully expressed opposition to any trade provisions that would allow companies to challenge laws simply because they damage their profits. Fortunately, the TPP includes no such provisions. The agreement only provides protection of basic rights — like non-discrimination — that are see ANDERSON Page 10

danish plan The Galileo affair and settled science by Paul Danish

veryone knows the Galileo story. The Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei, who lived from 1564 to 1642 and was the first to use a telescope to make astronomical observations, got himself crosswise with the Catholic Church by proclaiming that the sun stood still and the earth moved around it, rejecting the prevailing view that the earth stood still and the sun moved around it. This earned him a heresy trial before the Italian Inquisition, which ended on June 22, 1633 (381 years ago a week from next Sunday) with him recanting his views under duress and being placed under house arrest for the last nine years of his life. The affair has been a huge embarrassment for the Church in modern times — an iconic example (so to speak) of theology lashing out in denial at empirically discovered reality that contradicts scripture and its worldview. That pretty much sums up the prevailing view of the Galileo affair. However, there is one small problem with this narrative: With regard to the science at the core of the case, the Church wasn’t completely wrong and Galileo wasn’t completely right. The late John W. Campbell, editor of Astounding Science Fiction from 1937 until 1971, had a fascinating take on the Galileo affair. The gist of his argument went like this: The Church had heartburn with Galileo over two specific issues, Campbell said. One was Galileo’s assertion that the earth circled the sun. The other was his assertion that the sun stood still at the center of creation. Of the two, the assertion that the earth circled the sun, rotated on its axis, and did not stand still at the center of creation was the less serious. That, in the Church’s view was “absurd and false philosophically” and “theologically considered at least erroneous in faith.” However, it did not consider this assertion to be formal heresy. Galileo’s assertion that the sun did not circle the earth but stood still at the center of creation was another matter, however. Not only did the Church consider this “absurd and false philosophically,” it also considered it “formally heretical, because it is expressly Boulder Weekly

contrary to the Holy Scripture.” (The quoted phrases in the two previous paragraphs are taken the actual sentence passed on Galileo on June 22, 1633, as quoted in Giorgio De Santillana’s book The Crime of Galileo.) However, as Campbell pointed out, we know today that while the earth goes around the sun, the sun does not stand still. It moves through the galaxy, circumnavigating it every 225 to 250 million years or so. Moreover, the galaxy itself moves through space. So on the issue of the sun standing still at the center of creation, the Church was right; the sun does not stand still and it is not the center of the universe. Of course, the Church and Holy Scripture were wrong on how the sun actually moved. And it was wrong in its view of the earth’s place in creation and its supposed absence of movement. Galileo for his part was wrong on the question of solar movement because his cosmology, while more accurate than that of the Church, was insufficiently broad to accommodate the concept of solar movement in addition to planetary movement. Campbell thought modern science should take this dimension of the Galileo affair as a cautionary tale — that it should recognize that even its greatest and most fundamental discoveries should be accepted somewhat conditionally and subject to change it the light of future discoveries. And above all, that the notion of “settled science” should always be regarded with some suspicion and skepticism. Biology provides a modern example of a scientific heretic who history has correctly judged a charlatan being partially right and “settled science” being partially wrong. The late Russian biologist Trofim Lysenko, who believed seeds and plants could acquire traits like resistance to cold and drought by being exposed to cold and dry conditions — and then could pass these traits on to the next and future generations. In terms of the prevailing understanding of genetics for most of the 20th century, this was scientific heresy; the belief that traits came from the genes an organism inherited from its parents, and that

...there may be hope. Now, a local doctor has what may be the most important treatment in helping these conditions. No matter where you are with back pain, whether you’re having unrelenting sciatic pain and facing surgery or you just injured it yesterday, a treatment called low level laser therapy may be the answer for you. Are These Healing Lasers Safe?

Laser therapy has been tested for 40 years, had over 2000 papers published on it and been shown to aid in damaged tissue regeneration, decrease inflammation, relieve pain and boost the immune system. Before the FDA would clear Laser Therapy for human use, they wanted to see proof that it worked. This led to two landmark studies. The first study showed that patients who had Laser Therapy had 53% better improvement than those who had a placebo. The second study showed patients who used the Laser Therapy had less pain and more range of motion days after treatment. If Laser Therapy help these patients, it can help you too.

Could This Non-Invasive Treatment Eliminate your Back and Sciatic Pain?

We are Doctors Charles and Vicki Kelsey of Aquarius Functional Neurology, Metabolic and Laser Clinic, LLC. We understand what it feels like to live in pain, because we see it every day. We’ve seen hundreds of people with back pain, numbness, and sciatica leave the office pain free. This is why for the First 25 Callers Only, we’re running a very special offer where you can find out if you are a candidate for Laser Therapy.

How Much Does It Cost?

For the First 25 Callers Only, $60 will get you all the services I normally charge new patients $450 for! What does this offer include? Everything. Take a look at what you will receive: • An in-depth consultation about your health and well-being where we will listen... really listen...to the details of your case. • A complete neuromuscular examination, as well as a neurological exam. • A thorough analysis of your exam findings so we can start mapping out your plan to being pain free. Be one of the first 25 Callers and you can get everything we’ve listed here for only $60.

Have you tried just about everything for your sciatic pain?

Have you been on pain pills or even “advanced” to the prescription Vicodin, Soma or some other muscle relaxer? But the real problem is while you make it through the day all “numbed up,” you are likely making your problem even worse...without knowing it.

The normal price for this type of evaluation is $450, so you’re saving a considerable amount by taking us up on this offer. Treatments are not expensive, especially when compared to back surgery or physical therapy. And the good news is most patients respond quickly to laser treatments. Call 720-897-7222 now and we can get you scheduled for your consultation and exam as soon as there’s an opening. Come see us and you’ll get to see how gentle this treatment will be on your back and leg. You may be back to having fun in just a matter of days. When you call, tell the receptionist you’d like to come in for the Laser Evaluation so we can make sure you receive proper credit for this special offer.

Sincerely, Doctors Charles and Vicki Kelsey, D.C. P.S. Why suffer for years in misery? That’s no way to live, not when there could be an easy solution to your problem. Call 720-897-7222 today. Here’s What Our Patients Say......

I began hurting badly throughout my spine, arms and legs. Things were getting bad enough that I was not sure I would be able to continue the work I love, tool and die. I was having trouble just getting through the day. Riding in the car, climbing stairs, and exercising were not options. I was referred to Drs. Kelsey by a very concerned friend, it was a tough decision as I had a bad experience with a chiropractor many years ago. Prior to coming in, I had seen my medical doctor, but the medications just were not helping me feel good again. When I first met Dr. Kelsey, I received a consultation, exam, and X-rays. The results were slow but steady. Each week I have gradually gotten better and better. I have been able to work in much more comfort. I can now sleep without pain. I have traveled to Texas with my wife for a pain-free vacation. And I’m doing well enough now I can begin exercising again. I would recommend Drs. Kelsey to almost anyone who is sick, suffering, or in pain. ~Bob G.

BROUGHT TO YOU BY

environmental stresses couldn’t change them, was settled science. Lysenko nevertheless succeeded in convincing Stalin of his views — and of the need to silence his critics, many of whom were imprisoned and sent to labor camps. Criticizing Lysekoism was made a crime in 1948. In the Soviet Union, the views of the heretic became holy writ and settled science. But Lysenko’s attempts to demonstrate the inheritability of acquired characteristics failed; the failures were eventually unmasked, and he was disgraced and marginalized. The judgment of history has been that he set back biology in Russia by a generation. And he did, by poisoning the wellsprings of honest scientific inquiry. But the modern understanding of biology suggests that Lysenko may have been partially right. It is true that the genes an organism inherits are largely unchanged from generation to generation, but more recently it has been discovered that genes can be turned on and off in response to environmental stresses — and that a gene that an organism inherited in the “on” state can be passed on to the next generation in the “off ” state and

vice-versa. The discovery that genes can be turned on or off in response to factors from outside an organism has given rise to the field of epigenetics, which is revolutionizing contemporary biology. And it also provides a mechanism by which environmentally acquired inheritance might take place. Lysenko might have set Russian biology back a generation but that doesn’t change the fact that on the core question of whether an organism can acquire a trait from interaction with its environment and then pass it on to subsequent generations, he had a point — even if his own experiments failed to bear it out. Given what was known at the time, conventional biology was right to reject Lysenko’s views. But modern biology should be honest enough to acknowledge that in retrospect he was not completely wrong, even if he was an asshole, and that it was not completely right — and that in science the worst and most enduring heresy is the phrase “settled science.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com This opinion column does not necessarily reflect the views of Boulder Weekly.

already protected by U.S. law.” Leaked TPP documents contradict Polis’ claims. (See “TPP Wikileaked: U.S. Watering Down Enviro Protections in Secret Trade Deal” http://billmoyers. com/2014/01/16/tpp-wikileaked-uswatering-down-enviro-protections-insecret-trade-deal/ ) The TPP is being negotiated between 12 Pacific Rim economies, including Canada, Australia, Japan, Singapore and Malaysia. Since the 1990s, the global business elite has pushed secretive deregulations and the creation of new corporate investor rights by way of trade negotiations which began with NAFTA and the WTO. But the TPP is now being called “NAFTA on steriods.” Lori Wallach, the director of Public Citizen’s Global Trade Watch, notes that “the TPP now threatens a slow-motion stealth attack against a century of progressive domestic policy. At stake is nothing less than a democratic society’s ability to regulate a market economy in the broad public interest.” Canada is threatening fundamental aspects of the U.S. Dodd-Frank financial re-regulation law as violating NAFTA. The European Commission staff claims that the proposed financial-transaction tax conflicts with European WTO com-

mitments. Billions in U.S. stimulus money leaked offshore because of limits on “Buy America” procurement preferences already established in past trade pacts. The WTO ruled against U.S. dolphin-safe tuna and country-of-origin meat labeling as well as the ban on candy-flavored cigarettes, which is aimed at curbing youth smoking, as violating U.S. trade obligations. Wallach says that under NAFTAstyle pacts, “more than $350 million has been paid to investors by governments in disputes over such issues as toxic-wastedump permits, logging rules, and bans on toxic substances. Currently, there are more than $12 billion in pending corporate attacks on environmental, transportation and public-health policy under existing U.S. free-trade agreements — and the proposed TPP would create vast new opportunities for litigation. Even when governments win, they waste scarce budgetary resources defending national policies against these corporate attacks.” Despite a media blackout about the TPP, it’s in trouble due to a wide-ranging citizen coalition against it.

and property values from fracking last November,” said Kelly Giddens with Citizens for a Healthy Fort Collins. “The continual plotting and planning by Governor Hickenlooper and the oil and gas industry to thwart or overthrow the will of the people of Colorado must end. This so-called compromise is nothing of the sort. Our Longmont vehemently opposes this backroom deal and will vigorously fight its implementation. The people of Longmont voted overwhelmingly to ban fracking and its waste products within our city and we will accept nothing short of complete acceptance of our constitutional right to protect our health, safety, welfare and property. This concoction is nothing more than smoke and mirrors and we trust the people will recognize it as such,” said Kaye Fissinger, president and chair of the Board of Directors of Our Longmont. “Governor Hickenlooper and the oil and gas industry have a serious problem on their hands, it’s called democracy. This bill is their latest move to disenfranchise Colorado citizens on the issue of fracking. As scientific studies continue to confirm the major health risks of fracking, this bill does nothing to ensure Coloradans’ health and well-being. It’s a blatant attempt to permanently remove Colorado communities’ right to selfdetermination on fracking. Jared Polis does not speak for the hundreds of moms, dads, doctors, teachers and everyday citizens who volunteered tirelessly to use the democratic process to pass initiatives in 2012 and 2013 to protect their communities from the dangers of fracking. If Colorado citizens are unable to participate in determining how our private and public lands are used — to the benefit or detriment of our water, air, soil, and health — do we truly have democracy?” said Russell Mendell, statewide director of Frack Free Colorado. “The Sierra Club stands beside the people of Colorado and the communities where fracking and drilling for oil and gas is destroying lives, polluting the air, and jeopardizing the health and well-being of this generation and generations to come. Governor Hickenlooper must likewise stand up to dirty polluters and say no to any legislation that preempts communities from standing up for their own life and liberty. Coloradans should have the fundamental right to protect their air and water, and not have that right usurped by big oil interests,” said Catherine Collentine, Colorado Dirty Fuels Campaign Representative for the Sierra Club. “All Coloradans deserve clean air, clean water, and a healthy place to raise their families. Unfortunately the fracking boom has turned the American dream Boulder Weekly

into a nightmare for too many frontline communities. Environment Colorado is pushing the state and the nation to a truly clean energy future, relying on solar, wind and other renewable sources. Local communities have the right, and need the power to control whether fracking will happen within their borders, and if it does, where and how. Environment Colorado stands with local communities and will only support policies that give

local people real control and real protections for their air and water, their families and their communities,” said Kim Stevens, campaign director at Environment Colorado. “After threatening to sue any community that protects their health, safety and property to ban fracking, Governor Hickenlooper is trying to cut a secret deal to strip communities of an important tool to keep this dangerous, industrial activity

away from homes, schools and public parks. Local communities deserve the right to ban fracking. We oppose this deal for taking away that right,” said Sam Schabacker, Mountain West region organizer for Food and Water Watch.

record here. I’ve had enough of you, and your voice, and you will not do that anymore,” Padilla said. Then there were the aspersions cast at one another’s professionalism. “It’s a normal procedure,” said Padilla, after having an objection overruled. “In a criminal procedure,” said city attorney Michaels. “In a civil hearing as well,” said Padilla. “It’s not,” said Michaels. “Maybe you should step into a civil courtroom sometime,” said Padilla. But between the tossed barbs, there was an equally contentious case as well. The city attorney alleged that at approximately 1 a.m. on the night of Feb. 9, several undercover officers had observed Carl Oskarsson struggle to order and pay for two drinks at Press Play, then struggle to walk with them back to his game of pool, which he was struggling to play, while struggling to stand. The city further alleged that when he was confronted by State Investigator Kelly Haralson, Oskarsson become combative and had to be put in cuffs, then transported to the drunk tank. Defense counsel countered that Oskarsson wasn’t drunk, only became disagreeable when confronted and manhandled by police (who may not have adequately identified themselves) for a crime he was unaware of, and that while the seven officers were busy wasting their time with Oskarsson, they were either ignoring or refusing to help with the highly intoxicated man that bartenders and bouncers had to forcefully remove from the bar after he was cut off, then began stealing other people’s drinks and making a scene. This allegation included security camera footage and was driven, Padilla argued, by the police’s urge not to observe visibly intoxicated persons, but to punish businesses or cultures they find undesirable. Lawyers quibbled over sight lines in the bar, how crowded it was, how dark it was, what constitutes “visibly intoxicated,” the difference between “leaning” and “laying” on the bar, a typo on a search warrant, and whether experience as a police officer makes you more or less able to detect inebriation. After Boulder Weekly

Michaels questioned investigator Haralson about her decade-plus in police work, and her wealth of experience finding visibly intoxicated people, Padilla took the line of questioning right back apart. “You don’t need your training and experience to detect someone that’s visibly intoxicated, correct?” he asked. “No, sir,” said Haralson. “So really, your testimony about your experience, your proclivities, your professional proclivities, really has no bearing on whether someone’s ability to detect whether somebody is visibly intoxicated or not, correct?” said Padilla. “Correct,” said Haralson. Documents were produced and disputed over whether Oskarsson had ordered a Coors Light or a Bud Light. Oskarsson himself said it might not even have been a light beer at all. A great deal of time was spent discussing beer foam mustaches, and whether it’s “normal” to lick them off or not. And that all says nothing of the near-constant confusion over procedure and process. Chair David Wallace frequently bore a look of confusion and frustration through the proceedings, a look matched only by Padilla, who was admonished for things like standing, a gesture of respect to the judge in the federal courtrooms he typically argues in front of, but a bewildering abnormality in the quasi-judicial world of the BLA. Wallace also made several comments bemoaning the length of the proceedings, and at least one insinuating that the BLA didn’t even have to bother with the hearing at all. “We’re not going down this course again, are you clear?” Wallace said to Padilla after a line of questioning Wallace apparently didn’t want to hear. “If not, we don’t have to proceed.” And all that time and effort from the members of the volunteer board, the salaries of three lawyers, the testimonies of six police officers, two bartenders, two business owners and Carl Oskarsson, and the work of several support staff was spent trying to ascertain if one man drank one too many Bud or Coors lights. And after all that, the case still wasn’t resolved. Another special session had to be scheduled nearly six weeks later for Thursday, Aug. 14, the first available date that both the council chambers were available, and the various members of the BLA would not be out of town on summer vacation. This was exactly the sort of debacle that the City Council was being warned about by staff in October.

Were the time-frame for Press Play’s hearing applied to January’s BLA meeting, in which nine bars had to appear before the BLA for similar violations, that would represent hearing times of in excess of 18 full days, changing a one-evening-a-month volunteer board into nearly a full-time job for its five members and support staff. That may be why on May 20, a memo went out to City Council reminding them of the vote, as well as

staff ’s recommendation, and which meeting minutes they should refer to for a refresher on the issue. It also said the proposal could be brought back with the support of five council members.

At first, the thought of drinking aloe vera might make some people back away. But in fact, this delicious “digestion cocktail” is doing amazing things for people who suffer with stomach problems --- even if they’ve had them for years. Here’s how it works…

Stop Stomach Agony

DOWNTOWN

New! Wednesday evening Farmers’ Market

A recent FDA warning explained that excessive use of antacids could lead to an increased risk of hip, wrist, and spine fractures. Especially in people over the age of 50. So when alternative medicine expert Bryce Wylde discussed an alternative on National TV, you can imagine how thrilled people were to find out they could finally get relief without having to rely on Prevecid®, Nexium®, Prilosec® and other dangerous proton pump inhibitors. But now, according to Wylde, your stomach problems could be over by simply drinking a small amount of a tasty Aloe Vera extract. It’s as simple as that!

Your stomach naturally produces acid so strong, it can dissolve an aluminum spoon in just 30 minutes! And when excess acid escapes into your esophagus, throat and stomach lining, it unleashes the scorching pain of Acid-Reflux, heartburn, ulcers and more misery. Add the problems of stress, and “all heck breaks loose.” Dr. Liza Leal, a well known expert on chronic pain management explains... “The AloeCure® can work genuine miracles. It buffers high acid levels with amazing speed. So your stomach feels completely at ease just moments after drinking it.” In fact, it could wipe out stomach pain, discomfort, and frantic runs to the bathroom.

That’s what most people will tell you when asked about their digestive problems. “It’s just horrible says Ralph Burns, a former digestion victim. I was tortured for years by my Acid-Reflux. Sometimes I’d almost pass out from the pain. My wife suffers with digestion problems too. If she eats one wrong thing, she spends hours stuck in the bathroom dealing with severe bouts of constipation or diarrhea.”

Until Now, Little Could Be Done...

But “AloeCure® can help virtually anyone. Even people with chronic stomach pain can feel better right away,” says Dr. Leal. And what’s really exciting is AloeCure® aids in keeping your digestive tract healthy, so intestinal distress stops coming back. As Ralph Burns goes on to say, “I know AloeCure® never claimed to be a substitute for drug store products and is only meant to be a helpful supplement. Now though,

AloeCure® is the only product I need for all my digestion issues”

Digestion Defender #2: Instant, Soothing Relief

AloeCure® is brimming with polysaccharides, a “wonder” compound that gently coats the throat, esophagus and stomach, carrying instant relief to cells scorched by excess acid.

Here’s What Doctors Are Saying!

AloeCure® is backed by important scientific studies that confirm... aloe calms stomach acid and allows your body to heal itself. Dr. Liza Leal, M.D & Chief Medical Officer at Meridian Medical. says, “That’s why I recommend it to patients who suffer from bouts of heartburn, Acid-Reflux, ulcers, and irritable bowel syndrome...” Dr. Santiago Rodriguez agrees. “Just two ounces of AloeCure® reduces the acids in your stomach by ten times.” Francisco DeWeever, a Certified Nutritional Microscopist, “My patients report their IBS, Crohn’s, Colitis, Constipation, Acid-Reflux and a host of other digestive problems have all but disappeared.” After conducting an unpaid investigation about AloeCure® claims and success stories, Bryce Wylde commented that pure Aloe Vera extract like AloeCure® may be the most important application ever discovered for digestive health. He stands wholeheartedly behind his study into natural and complementary health and to this day, he receives no compensation from the sale of AloeCure® or any other product.

Boulder Weekly

news

n recent weeks, sources have come forward objecting to the conduct of the forensic pathologist Boulder County Coroner Emma Hall has contracted to conduct many of the county’s autopsies, Dr. Michael Arnall. They have called his behavior unprofessional and claim he bullies and berates the staff of the coroner’s office. They allege that he makes for an uncomfortable and perhaps even hostile working environment for those who attend autopsies, which can include the medicolegal death investigators charged with determining cause of death, staff of the district attorney’s office and law enforcement officers investigating crimes. That behavior culminated, they say, in an incident in which the remains of a child were allegedly mishandled during an autopsy in midApril. Since about that time, Dr. Arnall’s absence has been noted around the county and some have questioned whether the decision to take time off was entirely his.

Boulder Weekly

Hall maintains that the doctor has had a recent death in the family and is taking some well-deserved time off after regularly putting in seven-day work-weeks in the first years since she took office in January 2011. Asked about whether she had heard complaints from staff, law enforcement or staff of the district attorney’s office, in a May 28 conversation with Boulder Weekly, Hall said, “I haven’t been approached by law enforcement myself, so that’s not something that they’ve come and talked to me about. I have had these discussions, because this isn’t the first time it’s come up and I guess it feels very politically motivated, and so we’ll certainly take a look at this, and anything that is brought up about personnel is something that we take a really strong look at and there’s not really any details I can go into because they are personnel matters,

but he has not been suspended. He is still under contract. He is, like I said, taking some time off which he has had planned since the beginning of this year. He has some travels that he’d like to do and he did have a loss in the family, so that is where we stand.” While he’s been taking some time off in Boulder County, Dr. Arnall has continued to work for the other counties to which his services are contracted, Adams and Broomfield. Multiple calls to Dr. Arnall for comment were not returned.

a board-certified position requiring years of medical school and a specialized residency — the coroner contracts with a forensic pathologist to perform autopsies. In January 2011, shortly after she was sworn in, Hall approached the Boulder County Commissioners to hire Dr. Arnall — the office signs an annual contract for the services of a forensic pathologist, asking the doctor to be available for autopsies as requested by the county coroner. The previous forensic pathologist had retired at the same time Hall’s predecessor had left office. Hall requested a bid waiver to hire Arnall, who had not been working in Boulder County on an ongoing basis at the time. “And you’re confident in the particular…” then County Commissioner Ben Pearlman began, trailing off as Hall interjected, “Very.” In some ways, it was an easy sell. His price was $800 per autopsy, lower by $225 per autopsy compared to the $1,025 the previous clinical pathologists were charging. His price has since increased to $900 per autopsy, compared to $1,000 for a second forensic pathologist who was also contracted, also with a bid waiver, for his services by Boulder County in October 2013. “Dr. Arnall always likes to underprice himself a little bit because he really enjoys the work and that’s just kind of his strategy,” Hall says. Coroners have discretion on who they hire to perform autopsies — though in Colorado, the choices are limited to the 14 to 17 board-certified forensic pathologists working in the state to handle autopsies across all 64 counties. Hall says she chose Dr. Arnall because she already had a working relationship with him; the two had previously worked together at the Adams County Coroner’s Office.

“Because of my working relationship with Dr. Arnall and my, I don’t know how to word it, basically, my trust in his experience and his abilities, he was who I wanted to bring in to Boulder County,” Hall says. “So I asked for a waiver so that I didn’t have to put up a bid and have pathologists from different parts of the state or even out of state bid on it and go through a process of hiring someone I don’t know at all.”

were both involved in. The lawsuit in question involved accusations of sexual harassment and wrongful termination. In 2009, Dr. Arnall and Hall left the Adams County Coroner’s Office over claims of sexual harassment occurring in that office that Arnall had objected to and Hall had been the target of. Dr. Arnall sued then-Adams County Coroner Jim Hibbard and

The county doesn’t require hiring the lowest bidder on a contract, but Hall would have had to make a case for why she wanted to select someone with a higher price tag, she says. She also said she was facing an immediate need for a forensic pathologist and was disinclined to postpone getting someone under contract to wait out a bid process. Some close to the coroner’s office say they believe that the relationship between Hall and Dr. Arnall has been influenced by a previous lawsuit they

Adams County, claiming he was fired for objecting to Hibbard’s and his chief deputy coroner’s harassment of staff, including Hall and current Adams and Broomfield County Coroner Monica Broncucia-Jordan. Hall and BroncuciaJordan also each filed federal lawsuits against Hibbard, Hall’s claiming she had been sexually harassed while working as an investigator at the Adams County Coroner’s Office, and Broncucia-Jordan’s claiming she was fired for participating in the investigation into claims of sexual harassment.

Current Adams County Chief Deputy Coroner Sherronda Appleberry had also filed a lawsuit over her work in Hibbard’s office. Adams County paid a total of $1.6 million in settlements to former employees for those allegations of sexual harassment, the Denver Post reported in 2011. Arnall was awarded $650,000, Hall received $350,000 and BroncuciaJordan and Appleberry each received $275,000. Boulder County’s Chief Deputy Coroner Dustin Bueno also worked at the Adams County Coroner’s Office at that time and Westword reported in 2009 that he also claimed Hibbard retaliated against him for participating in an investigation of the chief deputy coroner. When Hibbard left office, Arnall ran for Adams County coroner against Broncucia-Jordan and narrowly lost that election to her in 2010. He’s running again this year as the Republican candidate for Adams and Broomfield County coroner against incumbent Democrat Broncucia-Jordan. Hall was one of the main recipients of sexual harassment in the office, she says. Dr. Arnall was a witness to her case. She says the experience enhanced their skills documenting evidence and their ability to “have a thick enough skin to get through a difficult situation.” “For me, I’m the kind of person who, I always want to learn and I guess be my own critic and say ‘What can I do better? How can I learn from this?’ And it’s always, I guess, the next hurdle, always improving. So that’s how Dr. Arnall is and that’s how he kind of conducts himself,” Hall says. “That can be very hard for certain people to take, especially if you don’t have the kind of personality where you’re always chalSee CORONER Page 18

ot everyone sees it that way. “He has repeatedly treated the staff poorly and when the coroner has been advised of these things, she either says something like, ‘Well you just need a thicker skin,’ or she says nothing at all, but there doesn’t seem to be anything that he can’t get away with with her,” says a source who asked to remain anonymous out of concerns over repercussions of speaking to this issue. Those who have worked with Dr. Arnall claim that he shows a lack of professionalism in the way he treats the staff, which some have characterized as disrespectful, confrontational or belittling, and the occasions he’s lost his temper and gone so far as to cuss at staff. He answers a question with a question, calling it the “Socratic method” of teaching, but it has had the effect, some say, of making it harder to get the answers they need to get their jobs done. “I’ve seen him and heard him cuss at his female helpers, where they have asked him specifically ‘Hey Doc, I’m not sure what I’m doing here, can you help me? Can you help me know where to make this cut? Can you help me know how to do trajectory on this body?’ He will look at that person and turn his back, and tell that person to proceed, and when they proceed and they mess it up, he turns around and tells them, ‘You fucked up this case.’ That’s exactly his exact words, ‘You have fucked up this case,’” says a member of a law enforcement office who asked to remain anonymous. “He doesn’t teach, he berates people. He waits ’til you screw something up and then he’ll yell at you for it, even when the person has asked numerous times to please help them.” Staff has turned over 140 percent since Hall took office — and some say their decision to go is tied to not wanting to work with Arnall anymore. One previous employee said she finally quit her job, although she loved it, because the stress of the working environment made her physically ill. “They’re so afraid to do the job and get yelled at after if they’ve messed something up, they’re too afraid just to even start the job and complete their jobs wondering if they’re going to get yelled at or wondering if they’re going to get help,” says that law enforcement officer. “Just the stress level alone to me would be tremendous. I wouldn’t work there, I certainly wouldn’t, but as an

observer in that area I was very uncomfortable, even witnessing that, I was very uncomfortable.” Asked if there have been any complaints about Dr. Arnall’s interactions with staff, police or the sheriff ’s departments, Chief Deputy Coroner Dustin Bueno responded, “Nothing recently.” When asked to clarify that complaints have come to him in the past, Bueno referred all questions to Hall. Additional phone calls to Bueno were not returned. In a May 28 interview with Boulder Weekly, when asked if Dr. Arnall had been suspended for any reason, Hall responded, “No, he’s still under contract.” And indeed his contract shows that he is to be available for calls from the Boulder County coroner until December 31. She reiterated that Dr. Arnall is still under contract to Boulder County in a June 11 conversation, but is not doing autopsies at this time and has taken “a couple days off ” because of a loss in the family. Asked to clarify why the nature of that time off would fit with him continuing to work in the Adams and Broomfield County Coroner’s Office, Hall said, “I don’t know what his status is with Adams County, but I know that he was out of town last week. So right now, you’ve called and raised some issues and we’re looking to those issues and there’s not really a lot I can comment when I’m looking into issues that have been brought to my attention.” As to whether she had received any complaints about Arnall prior to the May 28 conversation with Boulder Weekly, she replied, “Like I said, I can’t really comment on this. I’m looking into this situation right now.” On whether the specifics of the complaints raised by those who have worked with Dr. Arnall — being cussed at and verbally dressed down — characterized a hostile work environment, she responded, “I think there certainly is, the law d escribes what a hostile work environment is and I don’t have that to quote, but I guess this is not the same complaints that I heard from you last week, so like I said, right now we’re looking into this situation and there’s not a lot I can comment on.” And asked whether her chief deputy coroner, Bueno, who sources say they’ve previously gone to with complaints about working with Dr. Arnall, has been passing those complaints on to her, Hall reiterated, “Like I said, this is something that we’re working and looking into, and there’s not a lot I can comment on at this time.” Boulder Weekly

Mind Body Neuro

ould you like to reduce stress, worry and anxiety and create a new experience of yourself in the world? Then, I would love to introduce you to the Neuroptimal system of neurofeedback that allows you to re-train your brain for optimal learning, performance and well-being. This evolved form of brainwave neurofeedback can actually help liberate you from self-imposed limitations and negative habit patterns. Stress is generated from our mind’s reaction to people and events, not the events themselves. We can eliminate stress and suffering by changing how our minds process life. With Neuroptimal, the brain receives real-time feedback which allows it to ‘see’ itself in action,

recognizing immediately when it is out of balance. Then, rather than going down the ‘rabbit hole’ of old reactivity, the brain will choose a more functional and effective neuronal pathway creating new options for feelings and behaviors. It finds its way into its more natural state. Anxieties, depression, insecurity and anger disappear as emotions stabilize and mental acuity increases. The brain learns to fluidly self-regulate, supporting mindfulness and insight. You actually experience yourself in the world as relaxed, clear, confident and aware. Come and see for yourself!

The Lyons Fork Restaurant

yons Fork has successfully returned to the culinary food scene in Boulder County. The iconic little eatery located on the West end of Main Street in Lyons was completely washed out by the historic flooding of September 2013.

Lyons Fork prepares all of their food from scratch and offers a seasonal menu featuring many Boulder County farms and suppliers.

Divine Resonance

ivine Resonance is now offering Platelet Rich Plasma with collagen induction Therapy. This cutting edge treatment uses your own cells to rejuvenate your skin. In Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy, a small amount of your own blood is drawn and spun down in a centrifuge; separating the plasma and other elements of the blood. The concentrated heavy Platelets that release growth factors and activate stem cells are extracted to form a serum ( Platelet Rich Plasma ) and then are applied to the skin and driven in by micro needling with the Dermapen. The Dermapen is a Micro needling device that has a disposable needle cartridge that contains 12 tiny stainless steel 33 gauge needles. There are different speeds and depth settings for different areas of the face. The Dermapen has a automated spring loaded tip that creates thousands of

micro channels to deliver the (PRP ) platelet rich plasma. By concentrating the number of platelets found in the normal blood by 10x, and then driving in your own DNA healing serum in to these micro channels, the concentration of growth factors will attract and activate your own stem cells in a supercharged way. When activated, these cells grow new, younger-looking skin, and heal your skin from the inside out. Skin will improve up to 6 months after the last session and helps to improve fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars surgical scars and stretch marks. This naturopathic skin treatment is safer and more effective then fractional laser and deep chemical peels. Currently Platelet Rich Plasma therapy is used in sports injuries by itself, adjunct to surgery to help the site heal faster, degenerative joint disease, hair loss and skin rejuvenation.

Yale Project on Climate Change Communication

ore Americans say the term “global warming” is bad news than take that view when the term “climate change” is used instead, according to a recent study from the Yale Project on Climate Change Communications and the George Mason University Center for Climate Change Communications. “Americans interpret and respond to these words differently,” said Anthony Leiserowitz, the director of the Yale study, which found 13 percent more Americans saw “global warming” as a bad thing and that 9 percent more people think that “global warming,” compared to “cliPublic’s initial association to “global warming” and “climate change” mate change,” will harm their family. “‘Climate change’ is more about long-term variation in Earth’s climate,” said Ashley Anderson, a lead investigator on the research and assistant professor in journalism and technical communication at Colorado State University.

Climate change or global warming?

Everyone from politicians to journalists use these words and have a potential to change the public’s view on this issue. The Yale Project study found that the public is four times as likely to hear the term “global warming” versus “climate change,” and twice as likely to use the term “global warming” themselves. “The two names have different connotations to many people in the public — they aren’t necessarily seen as synonymous,” Edward Maibach, a lead investigator on the research and professor at George Mason University, said in an email. Leiserowitz says one part of the study was a free association of the first word or phrase that comes to the subject’s mind when hearing “global warming” or “climate change.” “Global warming” invoked significantly more associations to words such as ice-melt, alarm, flood and ozone. “Climate change,” however, invoked “weather” and “global warming.” When looking at the breakdown of responses based on selfidentified information, Republicans are

by Boulder Weekly staff PROTECTING EXTINCTION WITH TECHNOLOGY

Human activity has increased animal extinction rates by a factor of 1,000, but according to a recent study led by Duke University, new technology can help scientists and governments identify and protect endangered species. “Online databases, smartphone apps, crowd-sourcing and new hardware devices are making it easier to collect data on species,” Stuart L. Pimm, Doris Duke Professor of Conservation Ecology at Duke, said in a press release. “Most species remain unknown to science, and they likely face greater threats than the ones we do know.” Without immediate action, the report finds that this could become the sixth mass extinction in Earth’s history. However, creating expanded databases can help scientists find species trends and patterns that were not visible before. “For instance, we now know that most land-based species have small geographical ranges — smaller than the U.S. state of Delaware — and are geographically concentrated. The same pattern seems to hold for marine life, according to new data we are reviewing. Species with small ranges are disproportionately likely to go extinct,” Pimm said in the press release. The study found that traditional conservation of land and water might not be

it’s a mistake,” said Maxwell Boykoff, an assistant professor in the Center for Science and Technology Policy at the University of Colorado Boulder. But, Boykoff also said, “words do matter, definitely.” The public’s varying reaction to the two terms is nothing new in the political sphere. In 2002, Frank Luntz, a Republican pollster and strategist, told the George W. Bush administration in a secret memo, made public by the Environmental Working Group, to use the term “climate change,” as “‘climate change’ is less frightening than ‘global warming.’”

The Yale study found that if politicians are looking to increase concern, alarm or activism, they should use “global warming,” Anderson said, but, if they are looking to increase awareness and reach to those not aware of the issues, they should use “climate change.” Word choice should take into account, he says, “What is the goal and where do we want to move people?” “We don’t see these findings as having dramatic implications for communicators, but there are subtle implications,” Maibach said. “I think journalists can do a better

job clearing that up,” said Tom Yulsman, director of the Center for Environmental Journalism, and a professor at the University of Colorado Boulder. A journalist’s job is to make sure the public understands things, says Yulsman. “My worry would be that a journalist uses different words based on political implications,” he adds. Yulsman says he thinks that one way to help this confusion is for newsrooms to have guidelines on how to use the two terms and stick to them. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

10 a.m. and I’m on my second beer at the airport bar. It’s a lovely little bar, with a broad window facing the runway and six local beers on tap. I’m not sure if they even have a macro beer in the bottle. I’m drinking Green Man Forester. Robust, burly, but not as burly as their porter. A breakfast beer, if you will. I rarely drink before noon, but I’m flying and anytime I fly I simply have to have two beers before I board the plane. It has nothing to do with a fear of flying. I have a friend who’s scared

concept of “lift,” even though my father (an aeronautical engineer) explained it to me every three days while I was growing up. Literally. It was like growing up in Space Camp, but without Kelly Preston to add sex appeal. As far as I’m concerned, that giant, 360,000pound metal tube with wings flies by faith, trust and a pinch of pixie dust. I have to have two beers before I get on a plane because I know there’s a 78 percent chance I’m going to sit next to a really dramatic older lady who wears lots of bracelets, has two coats draped over her lap (who needs two coats?), and six different bags. How she got past the flight attendants with their strict “two bags per passenger” rule is beyond me. This lady is going to want to talk to me about the enlightening experience she had at an art camp in Santa Fe. Two beers makes that conversation easier. Or worse yet, I’ll sit next to the guy that smells like cheese soup. I have to have two beers before I get on the plane because there’s a 100 percent chance that I’m going to stress out about exactly what time I should rise from my seat after we land. There’s an awkward period there between the moment they release the seat belt sign and the moment people actually start walking off the plane. If I rise too early, I’ll be standing hunched over, with my ass in my row partner’s face for several minutes. If I rise too late, I’ll hold everyone up behind me as I fumble for my bag in the overhead compartment. There’s nothing comfortable about flying, even if you don’t have mild social anxiety. To truly enjoy a commercial flight requires a Zen-like presence of mind. It’s a fantastic thing that we’re doing, here, together on this plane, keeping it in the air by our happy thoughts alone. It should be appreciated. But I don’t have a single Zen-like bone in my entire body. The closest I’ll ever get to that beatific state of aware-

ness is the calm I experience after two beers. One’s not enough, three’s too much. Two is just right. I have to have two beers before I fly because two beers makes everything that’s uncomfortable more palatable. Weddings, funerals, office meetings — all more palatable after two beers. Does that make me weak? Probably. Do I care? Hell no. The two-beer Zen buzz also makes good things better. There’s a singularly beautiful moment that only occurs on airplanes that I look forward to on all flights. It’s that moment when you’re cruising down the runway about to take off. The plane accelerates until finally, the pilot just punches it to get the wheels off the ground and your body gets smushed into the back of your seat by the sheer force of movement. Anyone remember Sliders? I imagine that moment of smushness is exactly what Jerry O’Connell felt just as he leaped into the wormhole. The problem is maintaining that optimal two-beer buzz during a long flight. I haven’t had the luck of flying one of those airlines that serves craft beer (an airline out of Minnesota serves Surly, and you can now find Fat Tire on Southwest flights). So my only choices on a plane are Heineken or Budweiser. Don’t get me wrong — I’m not one of these craft beer snobs who will only drink a beverage handmade by monks in Belgium. I’ve never understood limiting yourself like that. Having standards is fine and well, but turning down a beer just because it’s not “craft” is like turning down sex from a girl because she’s not a supermodel. It’s like going on a hunger strike because you can’t find Wagyu. I’ve had many a fine experiences drinking Budweiser, so my issue with the limited choices of in-flight beers has to do with the price. I’m not a snob, I’m just cheap. Six dollars for 12 ounces

Chicago indie-rockers Fort Frances will play Bands on the Bricks Wednesday, July 23.

omething about summertime in Boulder seems to bring out the true colors of its community, as if the sun unleashes the great vibes emanating throughout this diverse and lively town; vibes that can be found in abundance at Boulder’s annual Bands on the Bricks series, which runs June 11 to Aug. 13. For the uninitiated, Bands on the Bricks is a ten-week series in which local musicians perform free shows at Pearl Street Mall every Wednesday from 7-9 p.m. Sean Maher, executive director of Downtown Boulder Inc., conceived the idea for Bands on the Bricks in 1997. In years prior to moving to Boulder, Maher sponsored

a similar event in Burlington, Vt. When Maher moved to Boulder to become executive director of Downtown Boulder Inc., he decided to bring the idea of the Burlington festival to Boulder in order to bring everyone downtown in the heart of the city to have a great time on what would otherwise be a quiet and uneventful day on Pearl Street. Ever since, Bands on the Bricks has been a huge success. Especially with the bands. “I’ve never experienced anything really like performing in Colorado, especially Boulder,” says lead singer of the Tripping Griswolds, Kent O’Dell. “You play a show down on Pearl Street and see such a wide variety of wonder-

ful people. Everyone here just gets so into the music, giving off great vibes and making Boulder such a fun place to play!” “We love the energy of this town,” says Mike Tallman, guitarist and vocalist for Euforquestra. “We love any chance to go out and play music and to get people to want to dance and enjoy themselves. In Boulder, we have managed to achieve that given the lively styles of this community and we love that.” Both the Tripping Griswolds and Euforquestra have played Bands on the Bricks for a couple years now, gradually growing more eager to perform for Boulder’s lively crowd.

VAUDEVILLE MAKES A COMEBACK

ntuitive Compass is not your average folk duo. For starters, their sound takes on more of a Vaudevillian quality than most other bands, and when it comes to their live show, let’s just say that there are bound to be some surprises. “Usually our show will contain music and some kind of Vaudeville slapstick,” says Jason O’Dea, who in addition to singing, also plays the guitar, kazoo, harmonica and drum. “We’ve done stuff like that at the ON THE BILL: Intuitive beginning of the Compass, 8 p.m. Friday, June 13 show to get people’s The Laughing Goat Coffeehouse, attention.” 1709 Pearl St., Boulder, 303-440-4628, Not simply a www.thelaughinggoat.com band that is looking to play music to whoever, whenever and wherever, O’Dea and his partner, Aurelia Cohen — who sings and plays the accordion and cornet — are very interested in making an impression on audiences and engaging them. It is one thing to get up on stage, play some songs, and maybe make some ranThis theatricality, and the band’s dom comments in between songs, but ability to employ additional members O’Dea says they are playing to their depending on each concert situation, is strengths by incorporating unusual one of the things that makes Intuitive entertainment elements into their Compass stand out.

Laughing Goat — where they will be performing again on Friday, June 13 — a while back that people still talk about because of its theatrical elements. “The Laughing Goat isn’t a very big venue, but they have a ceiling that we can rig some kind of aerial rig from,” O’Dea says. “We got a huge response from the audience the first time we were in town and did that, and in some ways we’ve been known in Boulder since then because we did aerial work in our show.” So O’Dea and Cohen obviously

know how to entertain, but their music is notable as well. You might feel like you have been sent back to the early 20th century when you hear their most recent album, Wake Up Little Song Bird. Ambling ditties like “G Minor Swing” are akin to a more stripped-down form of ragtime music, while “No Time Waltz” is, indeed, a waltz bemoaning the quick passage of time and the transient nature of our existence. Tracks like “Out in the Country” add a bit of bluegrass flair to their repertoire, and “Set Sail” is done in such a way as to make it feel like Vaudevillian folk by way of flamenco music and Middle Eastern rhythms, so there is no shortage of variety to be found. “Before the End of Days” charms largely because of its storytelling sensibilities — think of it as a musical Craigslist ad seeking a friend before the world comes to an end — and therein lies one of the duo’s greatest strengths. The winsome title track is proof of this even though it is not specifically a story; it is a recounting of something that actually happened, and which has had a profound impact on O’Dea and Cohen’s life. “It’s about our son coming into this world and us not wanting to let go of our dreams,” says O’Dea. “We wanted to keep moving forward with what we know how to do and what we love to do, which is to perform for folks. It’s a very honest song concerning the way I was feeling and thinking at the time.” And just how big of an impact has their son had on their lives? “He’s sort of known as the manager of the band, or ‘the ringleader’ as some call him,” O’Dea laughs. So there you have it: a Vaudevillian folk duo that is managed by a 2-yearold. Sound like any band you’ve ever heard of? Well, now you have. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

film Grapes and seeds

Food documentaries worth biting into by Michael J. Casey

he inaugural A Taste of Art: Boulder’s Art and Food Festival at The Dairy Center for the Arts includes several interesting documentaries. Here are BW’s picks for the tastiest viewing. A wine tasting from Hazel’s Wine Bar will follow the screening of A Year in Burgundy on June 13th and a Q&A with the director of Open Sesame will follow the screening on June 12th. Tickets and more information at thedairy.org.

A scene from Open Sesame: The Story of Seeds.

‘A YEAR IN BURGUNDY’ According to a Gallup poll conducted in 2012, 35 percent of Americans picked wine as their beverage of choice over beer and liquor. Each year, wine consumption continues to increase and more Americans are savvier wine drinkers. Yet, so many questions still surround wine. How is wine made? What is a good vintage? Why does that bottle cost so much? What in the world does terroir, bouquet, aroma, body, finish and tannins actually mean? Filmmaker David Kennard asks a simpler question:

“Where does really great wine come from?” The answer Kennard comes up with is right there in the title of his latest documentary, A Year in Burgundy. Kennard, who writes, produces and directs, provides a crash-course in winemaking by following seven families through one entire year of winemaking. Each of these families has been making wine for many generations and their knowledge and technique has been handed down through hundreds of years of tradition. Kennard documents the 2011 seasons in spring with planting and bud-break and charts the prog-

AI WEIWEI: THE FAKE CASE

Based on a story by Dostoyevsky, Jesse Eisenberg plays a timid, isolated man who’s overlooked at work, scorned by his mother, and ignored by the woman of his dreams. The arrival of a new co-worker, his exact physical double and his opposite (also played by Eisenberg) causes problems, as the confident and charismatic doppelgänger slowly starts taking over his life. This is absurdist comedy with a sharp edge. At Boedecker. — Boedecker Theater 42 June 12, 2014

seeds that are under siege from the giant corporation Monsanto and their genetically modified organisms, or GMOs. In 1982, Monsanto planted its first GMO, and since they have very successfully sold their product everywhere they can, with the U.S. Department of Agriculture estimating that 94 percent of soy and 88 percent of corn in the U.S. is GMO. Seeds play a more integral part to our diet than one might think. According to a statistic from the documentary, upwards of 90 percent of our caloric intake is from seeds, both directly and indirectly. No wonder Monsanto wants to get in on that racket. No wonder these people are pissed off. Watching this movie, you might wonder, ‘Why aren’t more?’ Instead of organic patents and corporations, the farmers of Open Sesame want an open source movement based on the success of open source software that enforces sharing over monopolization. Each person holding themselves accountable and taking matters into their own hands can achieve this. Open Sesame remains optimistic that someday, David will slay Goliath.

NOW, FORAGER Gary Susman summed it up: “It was a musical with a borrowed score, based on a stage play its author had failed to sell, with a leading man past his prime and a leading lady, 30 years younger, who had a thin singing voice. Indeed, when released in 1957, it was not a hit, but now regarded as a visually sumptuous classic, with Fred Astaire dancing with impossible grace at 58 and Audrey Hepburn in one of her most stylish, iconic performances.” At Boedecker. — Boedecker Theater

FUNNY FACE

Following on the startling Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry, this documentary reflects the artist’s battle against the lawsuit thrust upon him by the Chinese government in an effort to silence him. After 81 days of solitary detention, under house arrest with 18 cameras monitoring his studio and home, police agents following his every move, he is shaken, but still finds new ways to provoke and challenge authorities.

ress from growing to picking, crush to ferment, barrel age and cellaring to finally pruning the vines in the foggy and smoky winter in preparation of the next spring. Although the narration and sober piano that accompanies the soundtrack can get overbearing at times, Kennard seeks to educate his audience as best he can in the many steps involved with winemaking. It is far more complex than simply growing grapes. Winemaking takes an unbelievable amount of toil and attention and Kennard lovingly documents the work. Burgundy wine is pricey to begin with and can get ridiculously expensive, but once you see the steps involved, it doesn’t seem as ridiculous.

Lucien and Regina are foragers, gathering wild mushrooms in the woodlands of New Jersey and selling them to restaurants. Their lifestyle is simple, their income unstable. They also share a Basque heritage and love of traditional recipes. When Regina seeks a more stable lifestyle, their bonds are tested.

LE WEEK-END

SCIENCE ON SCREEN: JAELYN EBERLE AND ICE AGE

This is a bittersweet film. Two academics whose love life is about as exciting as their careers, which are about as exciting as paint drying, decide it’s time to relight the fire. They head to Paris, where they once honeymooned, in their effort to find what has been lost. Jim Broadbent and Lindsay Duncan star as the central couple and are amazing. Jeff Goldblum has a supporting role and is equally up to the task as an old friend from college who just happens to be in Paris at the same time. The dialogue is masterful and drives the film from beginning to end. Le Week-End is emotionally rich and, when at its best, hysterical. At Boedecker.

Curator of fossil vertebrates at the University of Colorado Museum of Natural History and an associate professor in geological sciences at CU-Boulder, Jaelyn Eberle’s research focuses on the study of mammalian faunas during past intervals of climate change. Ice Age is the animated story of an unlikely band of mammals who embark on a bit of heroism while trying to adapt to drastic cold weather. Voiced by an all-star cast, this family-friendly fun has spawned a wildly successful franchise. At Boedecker. — Boedecker Theater A YEAR IN BURGANDY See review above. At Boedecker.

Control-Z Cruise ‘The Edge of Tomorrow’ doesn’t need an undo button

In Boulder at 102.7 FM and 91.5 FM

Ryan Syrek

very time Tom Cruise, the greatest modern matinee idol, makes a new movie, everybody rushes to fuse artist and art and spews out some variation of “I just don’t like him anymore.” America’s collective moral stance seems to be that we should never forget that someone belongs to a douchey faith but we should purge memories of other horrid things actors have done, like domestic abuse. Disagree? Tell it to Sean Penn’s two Oscars. This is particularly vexing because Cruise’s latest, Edge of Tomorrow, is easily the most fun film thus far this year… and it is flopping at the box office. Some of that has to do with moviegoers’ overreliance on brand recognition, as this film is neither remake nor reboot nor beloved comic book nor former fairy tale. Some responsibility also goes to whatever marketing genius focusgrouped his way to a wretched title when the novel that was adapted had such a memorable one (All You Need is Kill). But, for the most part, this comes down to “I just don’t like Tom Cruise anymore.” Ugh. Stick to your guns on that one, partner, and you’re really gonna miss out. Writers Christopher McQuarrie and Jez and John-Henry Butterworth fuse video game sensibilities and Groundhog Day’s concept. Cruise plays Major William Cage, a military PR man who is a soldier in name and rank only. He’s so cowardly and combat-phobic, he makes the Lion from The Wizard of Oz look like an MMA fighter. Facing an alien horde that has claimed all of Europe, humanity is banking on one final assault to turn the tide. Cage has been doing the “talking Boulder Weekly

head” cable news circuit, promoting the assault with buzzwords, but General Brigham (Brendan Gleeson) doesn’t think that’s enough. He orders Cage to the front lines. When he tries to desert, he is forcibly remanded, strapped into a mechanized war suit and dropped into battle…where he dies…over and over again. Each time he wakes up on the morning of the battle. He soon realizes his only hope is Rita Vrataski (Emily Blunt), “The Angel of Verdun” or, alternatively, the Full Metal Bitch. She’s the single most badass female sci-fi character since Ellen Ripley, toting a helicopter-blade sword and an “I dare you to say something” attitude. Cage, the skittish housecat, must rely on Vrataski’s brains and brawn in order to save the world. The film is blockbuster perfection. Visually, the aliens, or “Mimics” as they’re called, are wholly unique. They are tentacled, whirling death dealers… murder octopi, basically. Story-wise, the development of Cage and Vrataski as characters is inextricable from the film’s resolution. Tonally, the movie is unafraid to be fun and silly, eschewing the grim and gritty for clever and spirited. Director Doug Liman has crafted divine summer entertainment with heart and brains, and it is flopping because people “just don’t like Cruise anymore.” Edge of Tomorrow deserves praise and viewers. It is proof that calculated cynicism and recycled content aren’t the only ways to deliver big-budget, mainstream entertainment. See it now, because unlike Cage, we don’t get chronological mulligans.

cuisine Meat, veggies and The Dairy

Inaugural Taste of Art festival puts dinner on display by Josh Gross Carole Topalian

An example of food photography that will be on display for A Taste of Art.

he flood pushed things back a bit. But it was still nearly a year ago that Mallory Cates originally approached The Dairy Center for the Arts to pitch them on an art show about food. For Cates, who ran a company making spreads and tapenades and knew a lot of writers and photographers from her time in publishing, it seemed like a natural fit. Still… “I’m not sure if it’s called the idea yet, or if I should be taking the blame,” she says. The reason she’s hedging her bets is that Cate’s initial pitch of a photo exhibit showcasing the work of Edible Publications co-editor Carole Topalian has spiraled into a four-day edible artstravaganza that will completely take over The Dairy and several other venues from June 12-15: A Taste of Art. “What we’re looking for is all sorts of ways to celebrate food from an artistic standpoint,” says Bill Obermeier, executive director at The Dairy Center for the Arts. Those ways include art exhibits, Connect with us workshops, collaborations, performances, competitions, lectures and no shortage of snacking. As far as events go, it’s a mouthful. For starters, there is the exhibit from Topalian, who is something of the Ansel Adams of alfalfa.

“Carole’s work is so exceptional,” says Cates. “She’ll show you the hands of the farmer that is plucking the tomato off that vine. She really puts emotion into her work” But more than just displaying her photos, Topalian will be teaching a workshop on food photography, which — despite the online deluge of instagrammed dinners — is some of the trickiest photography to master. Also in the photography vein will be a documentary on the winemaking in Burgundy, France, followed by a Burgundy tasting, another about the foraging movement, and a third called Open Sesame: The Story of Seeds, that will include a Skype discussion with the filmmakers afterwards [see review on Page 48]. Boulder’s lunchlady extraordinaire, Ann Cooper, will give a presentation Connect with Changing us called, “Lunch Lessons: the Way We Feed Our Children,” and teach a workshop on food preparation for kids that will use art as a vehicle for learning. “She is known as the lunchlady, but Ann Cooper is way more than that,” says Cates. In addition to her noontime activities, Cooper has authored multiple cookbooks and lectured worldwide on see TASTE OF ART Page 50

cuisine review Susan France

t’s hard to quantify something like “best patio.” But even without statistics wunderkind Nate Silverapproved objective data, it’s fair to say to that La Revolución Taqueria and Cantina in old town Louisville is in the running. At least half the total square footage is a broad, sunlit concrete plateau full of umbrella-topped tables, ringed by a low, stylish metal fence, and roofed by strings of festive lights. The view is of the quaint, tree-lined business district, and if you’re lucky, a passing train. On a sunny day, there is nay finer a spot to stuff yourself full of tacos. However, on my visit, it was dumping rain, a welcome sight to my Portland heart, but less than ideal patio conditions. And the claustrophobic interior design with tables about a tortilla’s breadth apart wasn’t going to do at all. Luckily, several tables near the inside and outside facing bar were covered, making a small section of the patio almost as pleasant in rain as it is in shine. The majority of the menu is a slightly classier take on Mexican street food, with classics like tacos, tortas and tamales, as well as plated entrees like stuffed poblano peppers and mole chicken. Four salsas (Charred Arbol Chile and Roasted

Tomato, Creamy Tomatillo, Roasted Corn and Black Bean or Pineapple Serrano) are available. In addition to its taco and taco-related offerings, La Revolución offers a brunch menu from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on weekends. The stuffed French toast is particularly standout, though it’s more due to what it’s stuffed with than the toast itself. The tequila-glazed bananas

on the inside are a sweet, gooey delight, and they really sing with the hint of spice from the chiliinfused maple La Revolución Taqueria syrup. But rather and Cantina than being served 701 Main St., Louisville, on a nice thick 303-926-3998 slice of brioche or a showier bread matched to the majesty of the bananas, the toast itself was slightly lackluster. But it doesn’t matter much when they’re stuffed with those bananas. There are more traditional, “desayuno-ey” items as well, like Huevos Rancheros, Chorizo con Huevos and breakfast tacos. The chilaquiles are a nice Mexican-style breakfast with eggs, rice and beans atop a bed of red chili sauce soaked and grilled tortillas with sliced avocado and pico as garnish. It was especially nice that La Revolución used whole pinto beans instead of refried or black beans. Round all that out with a nice selection of cocktails, and flourless chocolate torte crusted with coconut on the dessert menu, and La Revolución and its wonderful patio seals the deal. Until you have to go to the bathroom on the inside of the building. Then, it’s best to acquaint yourself with the phrase, “perdón, necesito pasar.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

additional struggle of not really having anywhere else to look to for advice. Music and film festivals can look to their peers in other communities, as can straight-up food festivals. But so far as Obermeier knows, there isn’t anything else quite like A Taste of Art for them to emulate. They had to figure it out all on their own. But that may well be because of Boulder’s special relationship with food. “We feel good about the fact that Boulder is such a foodie community, we feel this is a real natural fit,” says Obermeier. “We’re excited that it could be a real popular event. Just how popular, we don’t know yet.” Of course, one major draw for A Taste of Art is that, with the exception of two ticketed off-site events (Artful Hors d’oeuvres and Barbecue, Blues and Brews with the Jack Hadley Band in McGuckin Hardware parking lot), it’s free. But perhaps the biggest appeal is that oldie but goodie: punch and pie, or at least, artful photographs of them. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com Boulder Weekly

Boulder Beer is celebrating its 35th birthday with live music and 11 special brews.

Boulder Beer turns 35 by Josh Gross

etween wacky recipes, oddball marketing and all manner of shenaniganry, it isn’t just the alcohol that makes the corporate identity of most breweries seem fairly adolescent. But can you blame ‘em? It’s not quite The Children of the Corn, but only a handful of breweries are out of their teens. The elder statesman of Colorado breweries, Boulder Beer, is only 35. And barely 35 at that. Its birthday is this weekend. And before it came into the world, the beer scene was a dark place indeed. “Before prohibition, there were as many brews as there are today,” says Boulder Beer’s marketing director, Tess McFadden. But prohibition decimated both the American brewing industry and culture. By the time Boulder Beer was founded in 1979, McFadden says there were only 42 other breweries left operating in the country. “That includes the big guys,” she says. And though it might seem hard to believe now, when it seems like every restaurant, back alley and bus stop in Colorado has a brewing operation going, it took another 10 years before Colorado got its second brewery: Odell, up in Fort Collins. But it didn’t take much longer for craft brewing to snowball and the number of brewers in the market to explode. McFadden doesn’t see it just as competition, she sees it as creating generations of beer savvy consumers. “People’s palates are evolving,” she Boulder Weekly

says. “The more people that are finding craft beer they enjoy, then the more likely they are to find Boulder Beer.” A good time to start finding it would be Saturday, June 14, when Boulder Beer will officially throw down for the big three-five. Starting at 1 p.m., there will be live music throughout the day, from Brazilian band Ginga, and Big Thompson Flood. But the real gold will be outside the brewery in a tent that will be set up on the lawn. Boulder Beer’s alchemists have been working around the clock to create 11 special brews for the “rare beer tasting garden.” Amongst others, attendees can sample a cold-pressed coffee porter, a black peach golden ale, and the official anniversary beer, an imperial black IPA. It will also be the last birthday before Boulder Beer succumbs to what so many others have when facing the creeping spectre of middle age: a little nip-tuck. “We are getting pretty excited about a major pub remodel at the end of the year,” says McFadden. And in case you have a little too much fun at Boulder Beer’s b-day shindig and can’t wait another year, you’re in luck. Twisted Pine Brewing is throwing a party for its 19th birthday on Saturday, July 19 with music from North Boulder Underground, Groundscore and The Congress. Tickets for that par-tay are $5 and now on sale via Twisted Pine’s website. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

SAVAGE by Dan Savage

Dear Dan: I was combing through some old columns/podcasts and came upon a few instances where you counseled women on selling their used underwear online. So I was wondering: Is this particular kink strictly limited to straight guys looking for ladies’ panties? Or is there a market for used men’s underwear? Because I’m one guy who would happily earn a few extra bucks selling my old boxer briefs. Undie Noob Desiring Interesting Extra Salary Dear UNDIES: Duncan Black — the gay porn star and male escort (duncanblackxxx.com), not the liberal blogger (eschatonblog.com) — does a brisk business selling his used jocks and briefs online. No offense to anyone, but I don’t think Blog Duncan could move as many units of dirty underpants as Porn Duncan. It’s like this: The more people who want into your pants, and the more sexualized your public image, the more people will pay to get their hands on the consolation prize that is a pair of dirty underpants. So unless you’re conventionally hot and willing to put yourself out there (show your handsome face and hot body online), UNDIES, you aren’t going to move many units, either. (I follow both Duncan Blacks on Twitter, and so should you: @iamduncanblack for porn, @atrios for politics.) Dear Dan: I love my girlfriend, but here’s the thing: She might be a lesbian. I base that opinion on the fact that she’s dated women in the past, she hits on women when she’s drunk, and she has made out with at least two of her female friends in the last year. She says this is normal for girls. Most troubling is that our sex life has dried up. Despite having many honest conversations, she just won’t/can’t be sexual with me. I know what you’re going to say: Be honest and tell her what my needs are, and if she can’t meet them, ask for an open relationship. But that conversation is harder to have than I think you realize, Dan. Although it’s hard to see her hit on women/make out with her girlfriends when we aren’t being sexual, I can live with it because I love her more than I can say. My questions: (1) Is it unfair of me to ask her to define her sexuality? (2) Am I overthinking this? (3) Are the behaviors I’ve described normal? Helping Evaluate Lesbian Preference Dear HELP: 1. You know what’s unfair? Hitting on other people — men, women, whatever — in front of Boulder Weekly

Love

the boyfriend/girlfriend/ whateverfriend you can’t bring yourself to fuck. Your girlfriend is being unfair to you, HELP, and you have to stop making rationalizations for her shitty, inconsiderate, and cruel behavior. Your girlfriend could be a lesbian, she could be bi, or she could be the kind of straight woman who has relationships with other women, hits on other women when she’s drunk, and makes out with other women biannually — that kind of straight woman is called a “closeted lesbian” — but getting her to precisely define her sexuality isn’t going to change this simple fact: She has no interest in fucking you. Not into men, not into you — what difference does it make? That rumbling sound you heard a moment ago, HELP, was millions of Savage Love readers mumbling “DTMFA” under their breath as they read your letter. Take their advice. 2. Yes, HELP, you are overthinking this. You’ve spent way too much time thinking about how you could make this relationship work — and what you might be doing wrong — when what you should be thinking about is how to extricate yourself from this doomed relationship. 3. Are we talking about her behavior or yours? If we’re talking about her behavior, HELP, it is normal — for scared and closeted lesbians with security-blanket boyfriends they can’t let go of. If we’re talking about your behavior, it isn’t normal — because very few people would swallow the shit she’s been feeding you. DTMFA.

Dear Dan: My fiancé came home, and his beard smelled like pussy — the sweet, healthy kind. He denied having his face in someone else’s business. Is there anything else it could have been? Help! Sick In Minneapolis Dear SIM: I have no idea what pussy smells like, SIM, as I’ve never had my face in that business. So I can’t really tell you what else it could’ve been — Clamato? Caramel corn? Crème brûlée? — because I have no frame of reference. But I’m running your letter in the hopes that otherwise-cute hipster boys will be inspired to shave off their ugly fucking beards to escape justified or unjustified accusations of infidelity.

astrology ARIES

MARCH 21-APRIL 19:

Go to RealAstrology.com to check out Rob Brezsny’s EXPANDED WEEKLY AUDIO HOROSCOPES and DAILY TEXT MESSAGE HOROSCOPES. The audio horoscopes are also available by phone at 1-877873-4888 or 1-900-950-7700.

In its quest for nectar, a hummingbird sips from a thousand flowers every day. As it flaps its wings 70 times a second, zipping from meal to meal, it can fly sideways, backward, or forward. If it so desires, it can also hover or glide upsidedown. It remembers every flower it visits, and knows how long it will take before each flower will produce a new batch of nectar. To some Spanish speakers, hummingbirds are known as joyas voladoras, or “flying jewels.” Now take everything I’ve just said, Aries, and use it as a metaphor for who you can be in the coming week.

TAURUS

APRIL 20-MAY 20:

In 1947, the impossibly wealthy Duke of Windsor went shopping in Paris to buy a gift for his wife, the Duchess. She already had everything she wanted, so he decided to get creative. He commissioned the luxury-goods manufacturer Hermes to build her a high-fashion black leather wheelbarrow. I am not urging you to acquire something like that for yourself, Taurus. But I do like it as a symbol for what you need in your life right now: a blend of elegance and usefulness, of playful beauty and practical value, of artistry and hard work.

GEMINI

MAY 21-JUNE 20:

Your brain absorbs about 11 million pieces of information every second, but is consciously aware of less than .001 percent of all that richness. Or at least that’s usually the case. Having analyzed your astrological omens, I suspect that you might soon jack that figure up as high as .01 percent — a tenfold increase! Do you think you can handle that much raw input? Are you amenable to being so acutely perceptive? How will you respond if the world is a 10 times more vivid than usual? I’m pretty confident. I suspect you won’t become a bug-eyed maniac freaking out on the intensity, but rather will be a soulful, wonder-filled explorer in love with the intensity.

CANCER

JUNE 21-JULY 22:

You have a strong, intricate understanding of where you have come from. The old days and old ways continue to feed you with their mysterious poignancy. You don’t love every one of your past experiences, but you love ruminating about them and feeling the way they changed you. Until the day you die many years from now, your history will keep evolving, providing an endless stream of new teachings. And yet at this particular moment in your destiny, Cancerian, I think your most important task is to focus on where you are going to. That’s why I urge you to temporarily forget everything you think you know about your past and instead concentrate on getting excited about the future.

LEO

JULY 23-AUG. 22:

In 1928, Bobby Pearce won a gold medal in rowing at the Summer Olympics in Amsterdam. An unforeseen event almost sabotaged his victory. As he rowed his boat along the Sloten Canal, a family of ducks swam leisurely from shore to shore directly across his path. He stopped to let them pass, allowing an opponent who was already ahead of him to gain an even bigger advantage. Yet he ultimately won the race, rowing with such vigor after the duck incident that he finished well ahead of his challenger. I foresee a comparable sequence in your life, Leo. Being thoughtful and expressing compassion may seem to slow you down, but in the end that won’t hinder you from achieving your goal — and may even help.

VIRGO

AUG. 23-SEPT. 22:

In one of her “Twenty-One Love Poems,” Adrienne Rich talks about her old self in the third person. “The woman who cherished / her suffering is dead. I am her descendant. / I love the scar tissue she handed on to me, / but I want to go from here with you / fighting the temptation to make a career of pain.” With your approval, Virgo, I’d like to make that passage one of your keynotes in the coming months. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you will have an excellent opportunity to declare your independence from an affliction you’ve been addicted to. Are you willing to say goodbye to one of your signature forms of suffering?

LIBRA

SEPT. 23-OCT. 22:

“You should be interviewing roses not people,” says a character in Anne Carson’s book The Autobiography Of Red. That’s sound poetic advice for you in the coming days, Libra. More than you can imagine, you will benefit from being receptive to and learning from non-human sources: roses, cats, dogs, spiders, horses, songbirds, butterflies, trees, rivers, the wind, the moon and any other intelligences that make themselves available to you. I’m not saying you should ignore the revelations offered by people. But your emphasis should be on gathering in wisdom from life forces that don’t communicate with words.

SCORPIO

OCT. 23-NOV. 21:

William Shockley was a Nobel Prize-winning physicist who co-invented the transistor. He also helped launch the revolution in information technology, and has been called “the man who brought silicon to Silicon Valley.” Time magazine named him one of the hundred most influential people of the 20th century. On the other hand, Shockley became a controversial advocate of eugenics, which damaged his reputation, led many to consider him a racist, and played a role in his estrangement from his friends and family. I suspect that you will have to deal with at least one Shockley-type phenomenon in the coming weeks, Scorpio. Will you overlook the bad stuff in order to take advantage of the good? Should you?

SAGITTARIUS NOV. 22-DEC. 21:

Novelist Herman Melville wrote that in order to create art, “unlike things must meet and mate.” Like what? “Sad patience” and “joyous energies,” for example; both of them are necessary, he said. “Instinct and study” are crucial ingredients, as well as humility and pride, audacity and reverence, and “a flame to melt” and a “wind to freeze.” Based on my interpretation of the astrological omens, Sagittarius, I believe you will soon need to meld opposites like these as you shape that supreme work of art — your life.

CAPRICORN

DEC. 22-JAN. 19:

Haggis is a Scottish pudding. According to the gourmet food encyclopedia Larousse Gastronomique, it has “an excellent nutty texture and delicious savory flavor.” And yet, to be honest, its ingredients don’t sound promising. To make it, you gather the lungs, liver, small intestine, and heart of a sheep, put all of that stuff inside the stomach of the sheep along with oatmeal, onions, salt, and suet, and then simmer the whole mess for three hours. I’m guessing that your work in the coming week may have a certain metaphorical resemblance to making haggis, Capricorn. The process could a bit icky, but the result should be pretty tasty.

AQUARIUS

JAN. 20-FEB. 18:

Almost a hundred years ago, world-famous comedian Charlie Chaplin decided to take part in a Charlie Chaplin lookalike contest in San Francisco. He did his best to imitate himself, but it wasn’t good enough. He didn’t come close to winning. But I think you would have a different fate if you entered a comparable competition in the coming weeks. There’s no question in my mind that you would be crowned as the person who most resembles you. Maybe more than ever before, you are completely yourself. You look like your true self, you feel like your true self, and you are acting like your true self. Congratulations! It’s hard work to be so authentic.

“The art of medicine consists in amusing the patient while nature cures the disease,” said French philosopher Francois-Marie Voltaire. That principle will be useful for you to invoke in the coming weeks. You definitely need to be cured, although the “disease” you are suffering from is primarily psychospiritual rather than strictly physical. Your task will be to flood yourself with fun adventures, engaging stories, and playtime diversions so that nature can heal you without the interference of your worries and kibitzing.

Cannabis had covering marijuana. Another round of cannabis been legalized in Colorado just headlines appeared last week in 10 days before, and the world’s response to New York Times’ columnist Maureen press had plenty of space to fill. The state patrol got Dowd’s June 3 column that detailed her bad night in ahead of the game, quickly identifying Kilbey as a a hotel room after ingesting too much of a cannabis poster child for the dangers of driving stoned. edible during a Colorado visit in January. “This time we were fortunate,” said a spokesper“I barely made it from the desk to the bed, where son, “but many officers across the nation are not so I lay curled up in a hallucinatory state for the next lucky.” It was a good story, one of those that get people eight hours,” Dowd wrote. “I was thirsty but couldn’t talking, except that it wasn’t quite true.

The only relevant fact that wasn’t mentioned the effects go away, though, like Dowd, they might by the state patrol was that Kilbey blew a .268 on his take longer to leave the body than expected.

In fact, Balko reports — and metic- the point that Colorado has “some kinks that need to ulously links to all the media sources he mentions — be ironed out with the intoxicating open bar at the that the first time alcohol is mentioned as the leadMile High Club.” That’s hardly news in Colorado.

More education about edibles and consistency of product are two things that have to happen, and both the state and shop owners are working on them. By all means, if you’re inexperienced around cannabis and interested in edibles, take Dowd’s experience to heart. Among the many reasons edibles are popular is because smoking turns many people off. When you smoke cannabis, it enters your body through your lungs, and you can feel the effects almost immediately. When you eat cannabis, it enters through your digestive system. and it can take a while for the effects to begin. So if you don’t feel anything after a while, you might consume more. That’s what Dowd admits doing, and it was unpleasant. I suggest novices use a vaporizer to find out if you like the experience before moving into edibles. And don’t do it by yourself in a hotel room. I have experienced varied reactions to edibles. I had a couple nights when, somewhat like Dowd, I just curled up in a chair with my iPod and headphones. But I can also remember long walks through the redwood forests in California that were even more magical after eating an edible about an hour before we headed into the woods. In a sense, context is everything. But even Dowd, who was never in any real danger, referenced two other big-headline cases that police linked, at least originally, to cannabis use: the death of 19-year-old Levi Thamba, who ate an edible sometime before jumping to his death from a Denver hotel balcony, and Richard Kirk, a Denver man who shot his wife, apparently after eating cannabis and too many prescription drugs. Despite the early headlines, we still don’t know exactly what happened in those two cases. Headlines aside, cannabis legalization in Colorado is rolling out pretty smoothly. Media will continue to focus on the bad rather than the good. But until we find out more about all these cases, be careful what you’re reading out there. And don’t miss Balko’s investigative look into the Kilbey case. Things are not always as they seem. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com
