Highroad Debt buyers bury hard-hit consumers in lies

by Jim Hightower

henever a corporation issues a statement declaring that it is committed to “treating consumers fairly and with respect,” chances are it’s not. After all, if the outfit was actually doing it, there would be no need for a statement. Indeed, this particular claim came from Encore Capital, one of our country’s largest buyers of bad consum-

er debt, and it definitely has not been playing nice with the people it browbeats to collect overdue credit card bills, car loans, etc. New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman found that Encore, based in San Diego, filed nearly 240,000 lawsuits against debtors in a recent four-year period, using our courts as its private collection arm. Problem is, Encore’s bulk filing of lawsuits are rife with errors, out-ofdate payment data, fabricated credit card statements, etc. Tons of them are missing original loan documents, payment histories, and other proof of debt. Debt predators, however, scoot around this lack of facts by simply having their employees sign affidavits asserting that the level of money owed is accurate. Judges, overwhelmed by the unending flood of lawsuits filed by Encore et al, have accepted those affidavits as true, thus ruling in favor of the

corporations. But Schneiderman found that — Surprise! — affidavits were simply being rubber-stamped by company employees, who didn’t have time to check for accuracy. An employee of one large debt-buyer testified that he was having to sign about 2,000 affidavits a day! This is no minor scam — one in seven adults in the U.S. is under pursuit by debt collectors. It’s hard enough for struggling families to claw their way out from under the economic crash without having lying, cheating, predator corporations twist the court system to pick their pockets and shut off their hope of recovery.

Really Bad Ideas

by Joel dyer & dave Kirby

Who will look after you someday? by Dave Anderson

merica has more senior citizens today than at any time in history. Ai-jen Poo provides some startling statistics in her new book The Age of Dignity: Preparing for the Elder Boom in A Changing America: “Every eight seconds an American turns sixty-five; that’s more than ten thousand people per day, almost 4 million per year.... The 5 million Americans older than eighty-five, our country’s fastestgrowing demographic, will number 11.5 million by 2035. Because of advances in health care and technology, people are living longer than ever, often into their nineties or breaking one-hundred.” More than 70 percent of those over 65 are likely to need some kind of long-term care, according to the Department of Health and Human Services, and only a tiny number have enough savings for this. Two-thirds of seniors rely on Social Security payments — a little over $1,200 a month, on average — as their main source of income. For one-third, this is their only income. Poo is surprisingly optimistic. She says that “people getting older is not a crisis; it’s a blessing. We’re living longer; the question is how we should live.” She’s the director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance (which represents the somewhat invisible workers who are paid to take care of other people’s children, parents and grandparents) as well as the co-director of “Caring Across Generations” which promotes intergenerational communication and respect. The AARP has found that 90 percent of elders want to stay at home and stay integrated into their communities as long as possible. But the longer people live, the more likely they need assistance. How can we deal with this situation? There are at least 40 million adults in this country who are caregivers for an aging parent, a spouse or other loved one who needs additional assistance. Many of these people are part of the “sandwich generation” — family caregivers who are squeezed between caring for an aging parent and their 6 June 18, 2015

own kids. Poo notes that women are most often the caregivers. The average unpaid family caregiver for an older adult is a 50-year-old woman who provides 19 hours of care every week for an average of four years. Even if other relatives help out, they generally do less than 10 percent of the care. According to the American Psychological Association’s 2007 “Stress in America” survey, women in the “sandwich generation” who were aged 35 to 54 felt more stress than any other group. The average cost of a private room in a nursing home is approaching $100,000 a year, and medicare doesn’t cover the costs of long-term care. Poo tells how her family was compelled to place her grandfather in a nursing home against his wishes. She visited him there and was shocked: “My grandfather’s bed was along a wall in a large, dark room with six other people, half of whom were completely silent, while the other half expressed their misery in loud, painful cries. The room lights were kept off, while a sickly fluorescent light in the hallway flickered. The place smelled of mold and death. ...He had not slept or eaten for some time. ...I was furious and devastated.” He died after three months. More and more, long-term care is delivered in the home and community, rather than in a nursing home or hospital. Home care is the fastest growing occupation in the country. This is difficult, skilled work. Nevertheless, it is done by people who receive such low wages that they can’t support their own families. Almost half of home care workers rely on public assistance to survive. Poo says home care workers “often serve as nutritionists, teachers, physical therapists, psychotherapists, emergency responders, drivers, personal organizers, and nurses.” But, she says “the most precious services they provide are ...compassion, tenderness and listening.” Home care workers are increasingly self-employed or contract workers. Basically this means that they see COMMENTARY Page 8

guest commentary Polis responds to his critics on trade authority by Congressman Jared Polis

hile Congress prepares to finalize action one way or the other on President Obama’s authority to negotiate trade agreements with other countries, there continues to be no shortage of “facts,” figures, and talking points. Unfortunately, much of this information is wrong. This obfuscation and factual inaccuracy serves only to weaken the very transparency regarding trade negotiations that is already lacking and detracts from an important and legitimate policy debate. As the representative of Colorado’s second Congressional district, my number one priority has always been ensuring that my constituents enjoy every opportunity to achieve a slice of the American dream. This means the ability to attain quality, affordable education, land a good-paying job, and secure a safe retirement. Trade can empower this American dream by boosting our economy, supporting American jobs, and opening up international markets to Made-inAmerica, and Made-in-Colorado products. Nearly nine out of ten exporters in our district are small- and medium-sized businesses. People like Nick Martin, of Pro’s Closet in Boulder — a store specializing in

reselling cycling equipment — will tell you how trade agreements can help him reach the 95 percent of the world’s consumers beyond America’s borders. Mary Jane Loevlie, CEO of Shotcrete Technologies in Idaho Springs, can explain how exports account for roughly half of her small firm’s sales. Colorado dairy and cheese producers will tell you about the outrageously high export tariffs they face in Japan — as high as 600 percent in some cases! It’s simply not fair, and we need to do something about it. Unfortunately, some are unwilling to hear these local voices. On these very pages, opponents are muddling the discussion of Fast Tracks vs. Smart Tracks vs. whatever-they-call their version of trade authority (TPA) or pretending they are the same thing in an attempt to mask the fact that they are simply against providing President Obama authority to negotiate trade agreements. The accompanying infographic I prepared shows the differences between Fast Tracks (2002), Fast Tracks 2.0 (2014), and Smart Tracks (2015). Despite the benefits of free and fair trade, there are certain issues on which see GUEST COMMENTARY Page 7

guest commentary

GUEST COMMENTARY from Page 6

I will not compromise. If a trade agreement were to undermine our national sovereignty or weaken our food safety or environmental laws — including fracking restrictions — I would strongly oppose it. And while I don’t think President Obama would negotiate such a bad agreement anyway, it is a relief to know that the current Smart Tracks proposal specifically prevents any trade agreement that undermines our sovereignty or gives corporations any additional rights. That language — that protection —is written into the proposed bill. With President Obama at the wheel, I hope we will see a peoplecentric rather than corporate-centric trade deal; one that helps save wild fisheries; protects endangered forests and jungles; works to end child labor; and helps independent labor unions establish themselves in countries like Vietnam. These three questions form the core of my support for Smart Tracks: 1) Is NAFTA working well as is? NAFTA has fallen short of its promise and TPP is our only realistic chance to replace it. We’ve learned a lot in the two decades since NAFTA was crafted, like the need for enforceable and strengthened labor and environmental standards. Anyone who opposes the authority for President Obama to negotiate new trade agreement with Canada and Mexico (and nine other countries) is realistically consigning us to another few decades of the NAFTA status quo. Of course the more important question is, will TPP truly improve upon NAFTA — or will it be worse? President Obama has lofty goals and public input will be key to making this determination. That’s why it’s critical to release the text so that civil society groups can weigh in. Under Smart Tracks, unlike Fast Tracks, we require 60 days of full public disclosure of any trade agreement before the President signs, BEFORE the bill even comes to Congress. 2) Do you trust President Obama to negotiate a good trade agreement? I trust President Obama more than I trust the Republican Congress to negotiate trade agreements that are in the best interests of the people of our country rather than the big corporations, trade agreements that help lift all boats rather than provide profits for only a few. I haven’t always agreed on everything with this President — the PATRIOT act and the surveillance state, for instance — but on core issues of economic justice, I am proud of and Boulder Weekly

share our President’s values. 3) Should we have trade agreements at all? Trade agreements, when carefully constructed, deploy the power of commerce to help fuel the exchange of ideas and culture and bring people together. They provide a civil way to solve commercial disputes, replacing the gunboat diplomacy of generations past. They open new markets for our businesses and provide a mechanism

by which we can improve the qualityof-life for the world’s workers. Nancy Pelosi wrote a terrific op-ed on trade in USA Today last week, in part observing: “As we look to the future, it is clear that the debate on the trade authority is probably the last of its kind. The intense debate of the past few weeks has further convinced me that we need a new paradigm.” I suggest a new global engagement

on trade — an engagement that enables voices from all aspects of the world’s economies to be heard. We must give workers more leverage and have more open discussion, with greater transparency and stronger accountability than the World Trade Organization or other trade negotiations. Hopefully the passage or failure of see GUEST COMMENTARY Page 8

Smart Tracks will be an important step towards changing the discussion from Fast Tracks vs. Smart Tracks vs. no tracks to how globalization can be made to work for everybody and the health of the planet. I wish we lived in a perfect world. We don’t. If you generally support the values of President Obama rather than the values of big

corporations, then I think it will lead you to the same conclusion I have reached: We should give President Obama the best shot possible at re-writing the rules of trade to help ensure that workers, the environment, and the economy are all winners. And let’s not quit working to change the paradigm of trade and globalization.

work in what’s described as the shadow economy which provides few benefits, guidelines, standards, or protections. In the last few years, four states have passed Domestic Workers’ Bill of Rights as a result of grassroots campaigns by the National Domestic Workers Alliance. Poo points out that we can learn from Germany and Japan, which faced an elder boom before we did.

She argues that we have to create a “Care Grid,” a gigantic infrastructure project like rural electrification, the interstate highway system and the Internet. We definitely need to think big. As Poo says, “We are resourceful and we are resource rich. When we see a big problem before us, we create big solutions.” This opinion column does not necessariBoulder Weekly

Fracking and our water

I was very pleased to read Molly Putzig’s article (Re: “Under Pressure,” June 11) about the new tests being conducted by the EPA on the impacts on hydraulic fracturing on our drinking water. Fracking has been known to have many negative impacts on our environment especially its use of huge amounts of water and encouragement of consumption of natural gas. This greatly contributes to global warming also by encouraging the consumption of natural gas. Right now, the EPA is finalizing its Clean Power Plan, which aims to reduce carbon emissions nationwide by 30 percent by the year 2030, and will lessen the future impact of global warming by cutting carbon released by power plants. For those who are ready to act for a brighter future and continue progress made towards reducing our carbon footprints and revealing the consequences of tracking to the public, I urge you to call the offices of our senators and ask them to continue to defend the Clean Power Plan. The office number for Senator Michael Bennet is 303-4557600 and the office number for Corey Gardener is 970-663-2679. NG Audrey/Boulder

Thank you Jared

Please thank Representative Jared Polis for his introduction of the Continental Divide Wilderness Area and Recreation bill. The proposed wilderness is in critical areas for wildlife habitat and recreation. The bill will expand the existing Holy Cross, Eagles Nest, and Ptarmigan Peak Wilderness Areas; and will also protect areas in the Tenmile Range and Hoosier Ridge, and the Williams Fork Mountains. It will protect the soaring Continental Divide in Summit and eastern Eagle counties. Wilderness areas and other public lands generate billions of dollars for Colorado in jobs and tax revenue. Wilderness also provides clean air and water for everyone. Businesses in Eagle and Summit County support the bill because of the many benefits this protection will bring to their communities. These valuable lands are currently used for hunting, fishing, hiking, backpacking and horseback riding. The lands are threatened by extractive industries that want to mine or drill in these pristine areas. This modest proposal of 90 square miles can protect important pieces of our Rocky Mountain heritage. Please join the Rocky Mountain Chapter of Boulder Weekly

the Sierra Club in asking our entire congressional delegation to support this bi-partisan legislation. Alan Apt, Wilderness Chair, Sierra Club/Nederland

Drop a dime for the environment

I’m always happy to see articles in the Boulder Weekly that deal with climate change. Your article on June 4: “Talking about the environment,” was no exception. A conference on communication and the environment hopefully will engage a lot of people. Now we need to take that next step and let our members of Congress know that we are concerned about climate change. From what I hear, Washington says they don’t hear from their constituents enough to know what we are thinking. On the 23rd of June, I am going to Washington, DC to lobby with 32 other Coloradans and 800 other folks from across the country to let our members of Congress know that we want them to introduce legislation that would put a fee on carbon at its source and then return the money to the American public. You can help, without even leaving home. On Monday, June 22nd, pick up your phone and call all three of our local representatives and just tell them you want them to do something about climate change. Keep it short and sweet. Your actions will flood the offices in Washington a day in advance of us showing up at their doors in the halls of Congress. With all of us acting together, hopefully we can get the legislators to reach across party lines and introduce legislation that will address climate change.

Fighting to fight coal

s two Boulder residents prepare to defend their civil rights in a federal court after being arrested while protesting Peabody Energy Corp. in Wyoming, the company’s stock plummeted after it was revealed they may owe millions to support former employees’ health claims. Thomas Asprey and Leslie Glustrom first filed suit in April, claiming they had their constitutional rights violated after being arrested for unfurling a banner at the Peabody Energy Corp.’s annual meeting at the Northern Wyoming Community College in 2013. Asprey and Glustrom claim that the company pressured college officers to wrangle protesters and suppress their messages. The suit includes the college and the arresting officer. Asprey and Glustrom claim they were only allowed to protest in a caged area far from the shareholders meeting, and that officials told them they could only use a banner that read, “Peabody Abandons Miners.” They say they were arrested when miners at the protest began taking photos of it. But that isn’t the only trouble for Peabody. It was revealed this week that the St. Louis coal mining company would likely be responsible for funding the debts of Patriot Coal, a company spun off from Peabody in 2007 that announced bankruptcy earlier this year. About $150 million would need to be paid to former Patriot employees for black lung claims, payments that need to be paid each year. Peabody’s stock fell 8 percent the day the obligations were announced.

The proposed solution for many of these roadways (and what could be more in Boulder) is reducing some four-lane arterial roads to two lanes, and implementing one central two-way turn lane for cars. That would enable wider bike lanes for cyclists.

news THE EMIGRATION OF

by Rico Moore Courtesy of Rico Moore

Antonio’s multi-generational stone home in Mexico.

Prologue: Walking down the trail as dusk departs, the sky grows dark and the clear mountain air reveals the stars. Some of the stars no longer remain, having burned out millenia ago, yet their light continues to travel to my eyes and the eyes of those with whom I walk. It is as if that light — the lights from many stars — braid into a blur—appearing as a cluster that twirls and untwirls over space in time — flickering before our eyes — falling as seeds fall into the loam of imagination. I’m reminded of the same day’s early morning when the sun rose above trees. At a certain heat, the Cottonwoods released their seeds. Floating through air en masse, they tumbled onto roofs and climbed to roof-peaks. A pair of them interlinked and broke apart, rising with light breeze. On some common wind they drifted toward a place on earth not far from here — their rise against the law of gravity inscribed within their fall. The starlight seems akin — twirling on in shapes the stars’ last breath cast off — unraveling into —. The brightened meadow grass rustles with night-wind, and cricket-song pulses the silence. From the fertile earth, a continuum of stories unfurls as a Cottonwood sapling leafs at dusk.

Third: “Who do you think called immigration on you?” I asked Antonio. Considering what he’d divulged in our conversation so far, his deportation seemed an intentional part of an effort to prevent my adoption from going wrong. He’d believed this all along, it seemed. There was a long pause as he considered the question. “I don’t — I hate to say — Mary’s daddy is a real nice man — always real nice with me.” He trailed off. “Somebody knew who it was, where I was. I was working, branding cows, and I saw a car coming and they See EMIGRATION PART III Page 16

got out and asked for Antonio. They grabbed me and took me. I never knew why. I didn’t have papers but they didn’t pick anyone up unless they were called.” His voice grew quiet. We both stared across the windblown prairie. We shared something like the feeling of destiny — the feeling that what we hate or fear most is born through us. “When I got the lawyer, he said, ‘When you get your immigration papers, we can try to adopt him but by then they’ll have signed the adoption papers and you’ll never find him — it’s too hard—.’” I couldn’t tell if he was repeating his counsel or what had occurred to him just then. He seemed to be living in the event’s interminable echo. “There’s no way I would have been able to find you. ‘When somebody is adopted,’ my lawyer said, all the records —” “Are sealed,” I finished his sentence. “And nobody can see,” he finished. “You didn’t know where I was or anything about me?” I asked. “I knew that you were in Colorado.” “That’s it, you didn’t know my name?” “No, I didn’t know your full name. I didn’t know anything, really. The name that the Sherriff told me you had was, Dave — Chris Dave,” he said. “Chris David,” I replied with certainty. Mary had shown me my original birth certificate with this name which was eventually changed to the name I’m legally known by—known both by my Family and my State. There are three intermingled, strata of names that occur from the first and continue evolving: Chris David — Richard Owen — Rico… “I knew when you were born. But after,” Antonio said, “They changed everything.” “After that,” I responded, “They couldn’t — or wouldn’t — tell you?” “No,” he said definitively. “Also, Chris — Dave — was Mary’s cousin — a nice guy.” I sighed. Emptiness filled me. There was no strength for words, only exhale. “I’m sorry,” I said. “No, I’m sorry,” he responded. “You didn’t do anything wrong.” “I should’ve tried harder — I was —. Has your life been OK?” he asked. “It has. I’ve never wanted for anything. My parents are good people and love me. They had the means to offer me an education and a happy childhood. I grew up going to the mountains with my dad — we spent a lot of time in the woods. I grew up hunting and fishing. I went to college and got a masters degree. My mom loves me 16 June 18, 2015

as much as anyone.” I said. “I’m glad you had the chance to go to college. I would’ve given you everything I could but probably wouldn’t have been able to afford to give you what you’ve got now. I’m glad you’ve got good parents.” It occurred to me that he believed he wouldn’t have been able to provide me with a life like I’ve lived because he believed so fully in the impossibility, or great difficulty, of a Mexican-American attaining higher education or becoming

covertly, and had, and have, a very difficult chance of ascending the ladder of the American caste system. That in fact, Chicanos are intentionally oppressed. As I sat with my birthfather, however, I felt uplifted, ascendent. “It’s been a long, long… It’s been a lot of years,” he said, “And I had your number before when we talked last time. Was it ten years ago?” “Yeah,” I replied, “it was right after I met Mary.”

fully accepted into American culture. It seemed that the term, MexicanAmerican was superceded by the term, American. The identity of the Mexican in the eyes of the American was set — is set — in his eyes. He believed, or believes, that because of his experiences, subtended as they were, and are, by a belief of permanent residence in the lower classes, that there is no upward mobility. I feel equal to all solely based on my humanity though don’t always feel it recognized. He felt and feels that Mexican-Americans were, and are, willfully oppressed — both overtly and

Mary had found Antonio for me a decade and a half previous. We talked a few times but I wasn’t yet ready to meet him. The impact of our meeting required much space and emotional sifting to make sense of the new feelings. It took some time before I knew the world seen through new eyes. As years passed, each of our phone numbers, along with our places of residence, changed, and so again, Antonio and I became lost to each other. “When you were born,” he said, “That was one of the best things.” “I hope you feel okay about it all,”

I said. “I’m happy,” he replied, “I’ve been waiting for this for so long and I’d like to be part of your life and you can come in whenever you’re around. Everyone in my family is so happy. They all want to meet you,” he said. “You’ve got a lot of family.” “One of the things, growing up in Fort Collins — looking Mexican, more than anything — I — you know what it’s like — probably worse for you than when I was growing up —.” I tried to breach the subject of racism. “Even to you?” he interjected. “Yeah,” I replied. “Racism doesn’t discriminate between different shades of brown.” “It’s like my little daughter,” he said, “She’s in school — and everyday, she says, ‘I hate to go to school.’ There’s always someone picking on her. I tell her, ‘Don’t worry about that, be your own person. You can be whatever you want to be. You can say to anyone who says you’re dumb, ‘You’ve got good grades.’ If they want to make you feel bad, it’s probably because they’re jealous of you.’ She’s real good in school, but it’s tough for her,” he said. “It’s got to be. With everyone treating her as less than a person because of who she is — because she’s American.” “Yeah. And the problem with the community we’re in is that it’s small and everyone knows each other. We’re the outsiders. It’s the way it’s been and the way it’s going to be. Nothing’s ever going to change,” he said, “It’s tough.” “Growing up,” I said, “I felt similarly but my parents were both white and I never learned Spanish. I wanted to be part of Mexican culture and know it but couldn’t because I didn’t feel a part of it. I just looked it.” “You’re kind of in the middle,” he said, “It is what it is. If you were a real Mexican they would accept you,” he said. “And if somebody’s a racist jerk,” I continued, “You can go back to your family and they’ll understand. And I could and did, but my parents could never fully understand how I felt because they were never discriminated against for their race. They did their best to prevent me from being discriminated against. My Mom even started a diversity council with another parent in my elementary school to stop discrimination against me and a Jewish friend. She fought for me. My parents loved me unconditionally. What discrimination I’ve experienced, though, has been nothing like what you’ve had to endure.” “I’ve been lucky enough to love Boulder Weekly

news what I’ve done — I know how to do a lot of different jobs.” He adjusted himself in the seat of his truck. “I was scared to be a manager. I was doing a manager’s work and someone else was getting paid for it. A lady came in and said, ‘You need to get the position you deserve.’ And, I didn’t know how to read and write very well. But she said, ‘You can do it — you’ve been doing it all along.’ So finally, I started doing it. The people who went to college are doing the same thing as me because I know the work. Corporate doesn’t care. They want money. They don’t care if I’m Mexican, they just want money.” Then, we stopped talking story and Antonio brought out pictures to show me. He showed me one in his early twenties. He looked exactly like I had when I’d been at school at CU, studying English literature, the humanities and hiking the mountains west of Boulder. “What was it like for you and Mary when you were together?” I asked. “We were hiding because I worked there. She used to come from school and run to where I was and when her mama came she’d run and hide. At night, she’d come to my trailer, or we’d sneak out to go to the dance. I think her daddy knew the whole time. I know her mama didn’t like me. She didn’t like Mexicans. Mary and I used to get along great. She was a nice girl until that time —.” His sentence evaded him for the pain that remained. “I’m really sorry for what happened—after all these years — there wasn’t a day that I didn’t think of you.” I pulled out some photos of when I was a newborn and showed him two — each of my parents holding me, as as infant, lovingly in their arms. “So you were a baby when they adopted you?” he asked. “Yeah,” I replied, “Eight hours old.” “That’s not what they told me,” he said. “It was the doctor I had growing up,” I said. “Yep,” he replied. “You know, I had it in my head that someone had called immigration on you. I know that that’s what happened and it couldn’t have happened any other way — I’ve accepted that. But, I still don’t feel like it’s right. And I’ve never said anything to anybody about it but it doesn’t feel right to me that that’s how I came to be.” Still now, writing this, I wonder about a life unfolding from within injustice. What sweetness of love outweighs the bitterness of oppression? Some numinous burst Boulder Weekly

of desire within night’s cloak —. “I cannot say that it was her family because I don’t know for sure. There’s nothing I can do about it now. We lost a lot of years but I’m glad we got to know each other before something happened,” he said. “It was hard for me,” I said. “I didn’t know who I was after meeting Mary. It was confusing and difficult to sort out. I got through all of the difficult new

feelings — of trying to find a permanent sense of identity and instead found grounding in the ways in which I see — an identity more like the surface tension of a braided river.” “That’s good,” he said. The conversation created a quietness that permeated the air between us. As we inhaled, the silence filled our lungs. Filled and nourished by it, we exhaled the quiet back into itself. Our

silences mixed and mingled in the air. “Do you want to meet my mom?” Antonio asked. Antonio’s mother had recently traveled from her home in Mexico. In her late eighties, she’d taken a two-day long bus-ride with one of her daughters to el Norte. I’d never dreamed that I’d meet her and now I was about to. Together, Antonio and I drove out into the dark prairie night. (to be continued…)

BY BOULDER WEEKLY STAFF MICROBES MAKE MEDICATION FROM WASTEWATER

Medications pass through our bodies, break down and get flushed away, but a new study found that microbes used in wastewater treatment might be putting them back together. Microbes clean wastewater by eating bacteria and organic matter, but they’re not good at breaking down drugs. Apparently, sometimes they do just the opposite. Researchers from the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee tested treatment plants to see what happens to medications after they’re flushed, either by passing through peoples’ systems or dumping of unwanted pills. They found that two drugs — anti-epileptic carbamazepine and antibiotic ofloxacin — came out at higher concentrations than they went in. Canadian researchers in Peterborough, Ontario had previously found similar increases in carbamazepine post treatment, but were unsure why. “Microbes seem to be making pharmaceuticals out of what used to be pharmaceuticals,” said lead author Benjamin Blair, to Environmental Health News. Blair is now a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Colorado Denver. When these recombined drugs make their way into streams and rivers they damage wildlife. Studies have shown that carbamazepine can be harmful to aquatic insects and fish including the common carp, zebrafish and Japanese rice fish. According to the World Health Organization, the amounts of drugs escaping treatment plants don’t pose a threat to humans. Tanja Raunch-Williams, wastewater researcher with Carollo Engineers, told Environment Health News that treatment plants are getting better at removing pharmaceuticals using techniques like UV disinfection and chemical cleansers. But Blair added that upgrading plants with new techniques is expensive and isn’t a priority because the U.S. doesn’t regulate pharmaceuticals in wastewater effluent. — Mollie Putzig

GENETIC ENGINEERING TO ‘REWILD’ PLANTS SEEKS TO IMPROVE ORGANIC FARMING

Concerned that inbreeding has made plants vulnerable to pests and drought, scientists think reintroducing genes from their wild ancestors could give domesticated crops the strength to survive without the pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers that organic farmers shun. Scientists at the University of Copenhagen proposed the idea of “rewilding” plants using genetic engineering, in the journal Trends in Plant Science, May 28. “The corn we eat does not live in nature anymore,” said Michael Palmgren, senior author of the paper, in a press release. “It’s like how we turned a wolf into a poodle. During breeding you select for specific characteristics, but then you risk losing others because you’re not selecting for them. If you wanted to strengthen a dog, you would breed it with a wolf.” Natural breeding could accomplish rewilding, but it would take much longer. The researchers’ hope rewilding could be considered organic. In the U.S., organic plants cannot have foreign genes. Whether a plant’s ancestral genes are foreign is up for debate. Controversy surrounding GMOs presents a significant obstacle for rewilding. U.S. regulations say GMOs are foods with genes that couldn’t have occurred in nature, but the European Union is stricter. So rewilding would fly in the U.S., no GMO label required, but not in Europe. While Palmgren thinks rewilding could solve problems introduced by genetically engineered monocultures, antiGMO groups maintain that a GMO by any other name is just as sour. — Mollie Putzig

NEPAL from Page 23

last year working on a documentary about this recurring theme he saw as he traveled Nepal for two months: people in nearly every region of the country leading localized, sustainable tourism ventures to create better lives for their families and communities, using tourism to finance educational opportunities, infrastructure for clean water and electricity, and basic medical care facilities and staff for communities that lack these critical systems. Folks can join Mislinski as he discusses sustainable tourism in Nepal at a fundraiser at Neptune Mountaineering on Thursday, June 18. “It’s about [creating tourism] that can provide employment and resources for people in a community,” Mislinski says, “and for people working in tourism generation after generation, in a way that sustains the tourism industry in positive ways that give back to the community.” Ultimately, Mislinski says, it’s about creating a better quality of life in a beautiful, friendly country that has endured widespread poverty and political uncertainty. The long-time photographer and first time filmmaker says his goal with The Karma Documentary, its working title, was always two-fold: first, to show that Nepal is a diverse country, culturally and geographically, with much to offer travelers beyond the storied peak of Everest; and second, to show a different way of traveling — one that might make some Westerners a bit uncomfortable. “There’s a different way to travel that can help the people [in Nepal] that is different than what we typically do as Americans,” he says. “It’s fine to use travel agents to do initial planning, to get your plane tickets and maybe get set on what part of the country you want to go to, but once you get there it’s better to meet the local guides — let them know your needs and they’ll take you through the whole country. They’ll introduce you to their friends and family. You can stay in people’s homes if you want, you can stay in nice hotels if you want — they’ll make all the Boulder Weekly

Sherpas in the village of Sibuje welcome the film crew to a celebration at their school where Karma Sherpa handed out recently donated uniforms. The school suffered some structural damage during the earthquakes.

Frida would love ‘em! arrangements for you, and in that way you put as much money into the hands of locals as possible.” But while the underlying mission of the documentary has remained steadfast, the scope of the film has grown. It started in 2013 when Mislinski got a call from his friend Glen Young, a life-long alpine guide and outdoor educator. Young was calling to ask if Mislinski wanted to travel to Nepal in the spring to photograph the first trek a locally owned tourism company in a village called Sibuje made with clients. Young, along with a man named Karma Geljen Sherpa, founded the company, Higher Path Treks and Expenditions, to help the village. Sibuje is a small farming community near the border of the Everest region in Nepal, home to just more than a dozen families. Within the village there is no medical clinic, road, electricity, plumbing or sanitation system. School in the village is taught only to third grade by a teacher who is funded year to year by an NGO. Climate change has altered rain patterns, making crop yields unpredictable for this community of mostly subsistence farmers. While Glen Young met Karma Sherpa in 2008, it wasn’t until 2011 that Young traveled to Sibuje and saw the conditions that shaped his tenacious friend. “It was a difficult experience in some ways, to see what life was like on a daily basis,” Young says. “But the spirit of people… they were so gracious and kind in having us there. Before we left, Karma asked if there’s some way we could help.” The community wanted electricity through a micro-hydro system, but Young had no background in micro-hydro systems, and his initial research indicated such a system would be expensive and require extensive infrastructure. So eventually, after many Skype conversations with Karma, the men came up with a more sustainable plan — a local tourism company that would ultimately fund the microhydro project and more going forward. The story was so compelling that Mislinski suggested he not only photograph the trek, but make a film — his first film, in fact. “That’s another piece to it, too — we wanted to show that with the confluence of technology, video enabled DSLRs, if you have a good story you can still make a film. You don’t need a huge film crew, you don’t need a huge budget, but you have to have a great story.” And maybe a friend to help out: Mislinski invited his childhood friend Christen Babb along for the journey. While Mislinski describes Babb as “tough,” having grown up with her in South Dakota, she’d never trekked before, and actually bought her first hiking boots for their 18-day trip into the Himalayas. “She loved it. We wanted to show that you can get into the Himalayas even if you aren’t a hardcore mountaineer,” Mislinski says. “I’m not a hardcore mountaineer. I’m a skier, a little rock climbing with my brother here [in Boulder] — just enough to be dangerous. I backpack and do long canoe trips. I’m middle of the road as far as that stuff goes. “We saw many other people in their 50s or 60s trekking the same trek we were trekking,” he says. “Even if the mountains and outdoors aren’t your thing, it’s an incredibly diverse country culturally and religiously.” A group of four Americans — Glenn Young, his girlfriend Rebecca, Mislinski and Babb — began their adventure in Lukla, where all treks to Everest basecamp Boulder Weekly

begin, and by their fourth day in the country they were in Karma Sherpa’s village of Sibuje. They trekked to Mera Peak, the highest trekking peak in Nepal, where a number of the folks in the group reached the summit of the 21,000-foot peak. Their final journey took them back to Kathmandu. Mislinski then spent a few days in the village of Changunarayan on the outskirts of Kathmandu with Babb and a couple of other friends before his traveling companions made their way back to the U.S. Mislinski was originally planning to head to India for a month to visit friends, but it was during those days on the hillside village overlooking the Kathmandu Valley when Mislinski changed his plans. “Meeting the shop owners and restaurant owners and the guest house owners and just the villagers — they treated us like family. Telling them about the film and they were saying, ‘Go here, go here. Tourism touches this, and it touches that.’ That’s when it dawned on me I need to stay in Nepal and film for another month and see the ON THE BILL: rest of the country and really dig into this eleNepal Fundraiser with ment of tourism,” Mislinski says. “I was learnFilmmaker Luke Mislinksi. 8 p.m. Neptune ing everyone else in the country is very much Mountaineering, 633 S. attuned to what’s going on in the Solukhumbu Broadway St., Suite A, Boulder, 303-499-8866. District (the Everest Region). They’ve seen the development that’s happened. They see the benefit that the Sherpas and the other mountain ethnicities have gotten from this. They’ve seen schools being built. They’ve seen investment.” And for the next month, Mislinski traveled to the three major geographic locations in Nepal — the Terai region (the flatlands of Nepal), the Hill region and the Mountain region — learning about how each region has built its tourism industry, the struggles they face from competition (whether it comes from cheaper tourism options in India or China, or the magnetic pull of Everest), and even how tourism has changed social relations in a country that still feels the effects of the caste system. Just as the film was ready to enter post-production, the earthquakes hit Nepal. Mislinski restructured the film’s fundraising campaign to support additional filming in Nepal. This second phase of filming will be done in totality by a Nepali film crew — again, putting money directly in the hands of people who need it most. “Tourism is needed in Nepal now more than ever because people have built their lives on tourism, some people for 20, 30, 40 years,” says Young. “With changing climate and agricultural practices, people can’t live on subsistence farming anymore. After the earthquake, the media projects a lot of images of hardships and those things are true in specific areas, but adjacent to that are people who have businesses that are relatively undamaged. They can do business and it’s perception that’s stopped them. I’m getting emails and photos every day after the earthquake saying, ‘My lodge is still open, tell people to please come.’” The film, thus far, has been funded almost entirely out of pocket by Mislinski and Babb. Mislinski says he’s now applying for some grants, and hopes to have the film edited this fall and ready to submit to film festivals across the globe. But there’s still a long way to go, for both the film and the people in Nepal. In May, Mislinski launched a GoFundMe campaign to help collect funds for additional filming and for disaster relief on the ground where it’s needed.

he advent of the computer has changed the world. The global digital network has transformed communication, appropriation and spatial time. And as always, artists are pioneering new visual dialects and using media in their own way. Ten artists from around the world, including Boulder’s own Rebecca DiDomenico and Jeanne Quinn, came together in the production of the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art’s (BMoCA) summer exhibit Flatlander to show how the flat screen has changed their worldly perspective. Using an array of media, from crowd-sourced videos to online home décor catalogs, artists present works that bring flat imagery into the thirddimension and others that restrain 3-D objects to the 2-D world. Their pieces tell personal stories, speak to injustice, examine cultural norms and experiment with illusion and abstraction in ways often only possible by viewer participation. Guest curator Patty Ortiz explored this topic last year at the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center in San Antonio, Texas, in her exhibition Flatland, which illustrated how the Internet allows for the sharing of art and ideas between cultures. While a few of the artists from the show in Texas play a part in Flatlander, Ortiz says this year’s show focuses on how digital imagery is becoming a new tool for artists. She believes artists have a way of responding to artistic “trends” in a way that makes us think about “something we’re missing or not doing.” “In this show, it was really much more about how the flat screen has affected the visual vocabulary and how artists are taking those visual elements and really examining them,” Ortiz says.

notions of the world. An example of this is seen in Spanish artist Carlos Aires’ Disaster series. He lays laser-cut currencies from around the globe with digital photos of international crises inside that speak to incidences like the shooting at Columbine High, Cuban-American conflicts and Saddam Hussein’s rule in Iraq. Reflections of American ideals and the global prevalence of our culture are seen throughout the collection. Each frame exposes the important contrast between reality and the often-idealized representations of culture in currency. Ceramicist and associate professor at CU Jeanne Quinn, who contributed her installation “Floating” to the show, thinks Aires’ work carries a powerful message. “You don’t think about cutting up currency … because it has this intrinsic value that you don’t wanna lose,” she says. “But he’s like, ‘OK, I’m going to use that to … construct a kind of meaning.’” In a similar way, Richard Peterson/BMoCA Quinn rebels against traditional convention in bringing twodimensional photographs into threedimensional space with “Floating.” She casted white porcelain animations of shapes found in the patterns of photographed 17th-century Italian lace and hung them from BMoCA’s Rebecca DiDomenico’s Emanate (2015) illustrates globalism in a visual maze. ceiling in a semisymmetrical, chaotic design. One reason she is drawn to using lace, she says, is to bring decorative or domestic art into a formal public setting. “I feel like it’s a little bit of a feminist statement,” she says, to present something that has always been known to exist in feminine space as “high art.” With “Floating,” she also wanted to challenge the idea that sculptures are stationary and utilitarian in design, she adds, by “exploding space in some way.” “I feel like there’s also a time component [to the installation] because … when you enter into the piece with your body and as you move around the piece, it completely changes,” she explains, arguing a fourth dimension exists when visitors experience the exhibit. Indeed, the projection of two-dimensional objects in three-dimensional space is a recurring theme in Flatlander that resonates with Ortiz’s original vision for the show. Local artist Rebecca DiDomenico’s ornamental installation “Emanate” exploits the idea of negative space in a way similar to Quinn’s “Floating.” “I think that a flat screen TV tends to take people away from the physicality of conservations. … But in a lot of ways … Rebecca’s piece [Emanate] particularly brings it back to the very surface,” Ortiz says, by moving a normally flat paper map into three-dimensional space. DiDomenico illustrates the interconnectedness of people who live on opposite sides of the world by connecting rivers and roads from various areas on the world map that normally would be far apart, DiDomenico says. She then cut out the space between traveled pathways, weaving a three-dimensional paper web. Those paths also remind us of the possibilities we may discover on the journeys we take or decide not to take in life, she adds. In visualizing those ideas, cross-dimensional art could help us develop healthy relationships with each other and with the flat screen. We begin to understand how art catalyzes our social connections when we read into the personal stories of other artists in the exhibition like Jesse Amado, who depicts his relationship with prescription drugs in an entirely virgin wool felt installation. And simply talking about the immense impact digital devices have on our human experience hasn’t solved the problem. Goff enjoys the lighthearted nature of Flatlander because it’s capable of changing that. “Using really tangible, accessible, colorful … seemingly light work to have these kinds of conversations was what appealed to us initially,” she says. “The response has been so amazingly positive.” Boulder Weekly

and a kid two dinosaur toys. Said kid will not use them to contemplate evolutionary biology. Said kid will smash the two of them together, simulating an epic dino-smackdown while emitting a likely annoying reptilian howl. Jurassic World is that but with a $150 million budget. Director Colin Trevorrow went from quirky indie Safety Not Guaranteed to blockbuster franchise revival faster than you can ask, “How many zeroes are on that check again?” Those hoping Trevorrow managed to retain the light, whimsical, creative tone of his former effort should remember this is a movie about dinosaurs eating people. When it comes to people eating, Jurassic World does it better than most. The film begins with a clever conceit: the theme park from the first film 22 years ago is now working. Rebranded Jurassic World and built on the ruins (and bodies) of the original, business is booming. Critics chiding Jurassic World as a brain-dead romp should note the litany of small capitalist details that cleverly ape real-world Disney approaches. Asking any sequel to stand up to the original Jurassic Park is impossible; that film ushered in a new era of filmmaking. Trevorrow and company can’t replicate that initial awe, so they choose to awe us with the scope of the park. The plot of the original was “We made dinosaurs. Bad idea. Run.” So, don’t expect much more here. Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) oversees operations and is concerned with the new attraction, a genetically modified murder monster called the Indominus Rex. Meanwhile, Owen (Chris Pratt), formerly of the Navy and presently of “dinosaur whispering,” is fending off advances from Hoskins (Vincent

D’Onofrio), who wants to weaponize raptors for military use. Indominus Rex breaks containment, and Claire turns to Owen to save her two nephews who are in the park. That’s a long way of saying, “We made a new dinosaur. Bad idea. Run.” Gaudy and loud, Jurassic World is pretty great. The final 30 minutes are a sensational “Rube Goldberg” machine of action, as awesome as any climax summer movies can offer. It even satisfactorily provides a trite moral. Jurassic Park said, “Don’t mess with nature.” Jurassic World says, “Don’t always demand bigger and better.” The shortcoming is Claire. The tiresome cliché of the “successful worker who doesn’t spend enough time with family” is always obnoxious. It’s worse when applied to women. Our patriarchal culture still sees the primary function of women as “breeders” and homemakers; thus, the message of a character like Claire is “Screw your career. Make babies.” Nothing about Claire is good or plausible down to her impossibly durable high heels. Owen sucks too, but at least he gets to be “guy who remembers dinosaurs are living creatures that deserve respect.” You know he thinks that because he says that every two minutes. In the end, Jurassic World is terrific spectacle paced perfectly and infused with more humor than any previous installment of the series (thank you, Jake Johnson). It is grownups playing with dinosaur toys, and if you did that as a kid, you’ll leave with a big, dumb grin on your face. This review first appeared in The Reader of Omaha, Neb.

film A tale of two cities ‘The [French] Connection’ by Michael J. Casey

ne of the more fascinating aspects of the movies is their ability to reach across time and space and continue cinematic conversations started long ago. Moviegoers will be able to peek in on that conversation next week at The Boedecker Theater where both 1971’s The French Connection and 2015’s The Connection will share the screen. Playing June 21, The French Connection adapts the non-fiction book by Robin Moore into a kinetic powerhouse of a film. Directed by one of the decade’s hottest directors, William Friedkin, The French Connection stars Gene Hackman as Jimmy “Popeye” Doyle and Roy Scheider as his partner, Buddy “Cloudy” Russo. Their target: $32 million shipment of heroin from Marseilles and the French kingpin responsible, Alain Charnier (Fernando Rey). Chocked full of players both stateside and foreign, The French Connection never pauses to explain or clarify, favoring relentless energy over exposition. A storytelling tool so effective that the entire movie can be cinematically — and iconically — boiled down to the image of Doyle’s commandeered ’71 Pontiac LeMans versus Brooklyn’s elevated train. Doyle is a good cop who plays with a loose set of morals and pure energy. Now, 44 years later, audiences get the flipside of that record with another cop relentlessly pursuing the Marseilles-New York heroin racket, only this time, he’s not from the mean streets of New York but the picturesque south side of France. Playing June 24-27, The Connection, directed by Cédric Jimenez, revisits familiar territory and ON THE BILL: The presents the other half of the equation, filling in French Connection, 4 p.m. the who, what, where, when and how of the drug Sunday, June 21. The Connection Wednesdaytrade while positioning a familiar cat-and-mouse Saturday, June 24-27. The game at the heart of the story. Boedecker Theater, 2590 Stationed in Marseilles, police magistrate Walnut St., Boulder, 303-440-7825. Pierre Michel ( Jean Dujardin) is slowly working his way through addicts and dealers up the food chain to drug kingpin, Gaëtan “Tany” Zampa (Gilles Lellouche), attempting to shut down a multi-million dollar heroin export business. Michel himself is a recovering addict (gambling was his vice) and like a drunk on a hot streak, he is willing to take this pursuit to the bitter end. And the bitter end is precisely where these two are headed. Michel is playing with fire and Tany has ruled long past his expiration date. Both know exactly where this road ends; yet they are willing to run headfirst into the brick wall together and play their roles of cop and criminal to a T while the world around them pleads for sanity. These are not men; they are something simultaneously more and less. They answer to a higher calling, yet succumb to their addictions like common drunks. Stylistically, The French Connection was a revolutionary break forward whereas The Connection is a throwback. The two movies meet in the middle, overlapping just enough to connect the dots without disrupting their individual continuity. It’s a fun trick, but more than that, it’s a reminder that just because the movie is over, the conversation is not done. Boulder Weekly

Brooklyn Deli

Susan France

1515 Main St., Suite 6, Longmont, 303-6848400

A good representation

Brooklyn Deli does service to the East Coast by Matt Cortina

here is a lot to like about Brooklyn Deli in Longmont. It imports many of its ingredients from New York or thereabouts. It accurately offers many of the classic sandwiches you’d find in a New York deli. It has a welcoming, East Coast sense of hospitality. It sells many of those imported goods by the can. And its casual interior is similar to, if not a little cleaner than, the delis back east. This is all to say that Brooklyn Deli is good and it comes close. About as close as you can get to a New York style deli halfway across the country in a state where classic East Coast deli and diner fare is few and far between. And for that, Brooklyn Deli deserves credit. Take the Italian hero for instance. First off, good for calling it a hero. Back east, there are heroes, subs, grinders and hoagies. What you call a sandwich depends really on where you’re from — and more Susan France likely, what the deli you frequent calls them. There are some key variables between them but not many. A hero, then, has always been, to me, fresh white bread, cut from a long Italian loaf. The meat is piled extra high, and there is fresh shredded iceberg lettuce, tomato, oil and vinegar dressing and that’s about it. The hero is a clean deli sandwich, and if you disagree, then it’s exactly what was meant by the distinction that these names often depend on your local deli — mine growing up was called All American Hero, and it served clean, meat-stacked sandwiches. This is all to say that Brooklyn Deli came close to what I had in my mind as a hero, and it could certainly be right in line with others’ definitions. It was made on a thin sub roll, packed several layers deep with meats — ham, capicola, salami and then provolone — and topped with dressing and a robust giardiniera of pepperoncini, peppers and olives. Everything was there in that sandwich, even the flavor was pretty on it, but the bread lacked firmness and crunch; the toppings outdid the meat (capicola and salami always star in Italians), and there just wasn’t enough of it — it was too

small in length and density. It was similar with the pastrami on rye. All the flavors were there. The pastrami was hot and spicy, punching the taste buds with its peppery and semi-sweet meaty goodness. The mustard was spicy and evenly proportioned. The rye bread was fresh and expressive. The issue was that there was almost no pastrami on the sandwich. That’s relative, of course, as pastrami on rye is notorious for being packed absurdly high. The flavors were there, the execution was just a step behind. The service at Brooklyn Deli might be the best part. The men behind the counter had the ball-busting variety of endearment that many might find abrasive but that is the essence of the tri-state area of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. This includes an instance where what is probably a fine couple asked if the busy guy behind the counter could clean a booth for them, and the guy said “There’s plenty of clean tables,” in a classic “What’s wrong with you?” tone of voice. The couple sat down anyway, and he came hustling over, squirt bottle in hand, saying, “No, no, no, don’t clean it yourselves, I got it.” When the same man asked if I wanted a receipt, I said, “Can I?” and he said, “Yeah, that’s why I asked.” I love it. That’s a Brooklyn deli. So it works as a short-term substitute. The thing with Brooklyn Deli is that it compares itself to Brooklyn delis, not other Colorado delis based on its name. In that regard, it’s a good substitute, but not quite the real thing. Compared to other delis out here, it’s a great place to grab a bite.

TASTE ART

The Dairy Center for the Arts is hosting a four-day food festival that celebrates what many of us food lovers know: food is art. From Thursday, June 18 to Sunday, June 21, the Dairy is hosting several events that stimulate minds and appetites. Festivities begin on Thursday with the “Art of Plating” demonstration by Chef Bob Sampson at 5 p.m. at the East Theatre. The demonstration will highlight all the ways plating can elevate food and present unique ideas to use at home. The event is followed by hors d’oeuvres provided by The Kitchen, Leaf Vegetarian Restaurant and Cantina Laredo, and wine will be provided by Bonterra Wine. Live harp music will also happen. Tickets are $35 for this event. On Friday, the Artful Chef competition kicks off at the Culinary Center at the Sterling Rice Group in downtown Boulder at 6:30 p.m. This event features three chefs who are each paired with a local artist. The duos then need to create a dish and table spread that is judged on its taste and beauty. Attendance to this event includes free cocktails and small plates. Then on Saturday at 4 p.m., the A Taste of Art gallery opens at the Dairy. The show features exhibitions in various food-related media, from photos to cakes. The exhibit will feature “exhibits of art related to food,” as well as pastries prepared by students at the Escoffier School of Culinary Arts. There will also be artisan table linens and ceramics on sale. To purchase tickets or for more information on any of the weekend’s events, visit www.thedairy.org.

STAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER If you feel like hitting the road this weekend, check out the 118th Strawberry Days festival, which will be held in Glenwood Springs June 19-21. THe event will feature a beer garden with dozens of local brews on tap, food vendors from across the state and much more grub. But of course the festival includes much grander festivities, including a rotating lineup of musicians, an arts and crafts show, carnival rides, games and a parade. There’s also a Miss Strawberry Days pageant that will reward the winner not only with the prestigious fruit crown but with a scholarship. And there will be a tremendous amount of strawberries. It’d be kind of silly if there weren’t. The 100-year tradition of handing out free strawberries and ice cream after the parade on Saturday will be renewed yet again this year. For more information on the Strawberry Days festival, visit strawberrydaysfestival.ning.org.

FOOD AND WINE CLASSIC The annual and prestigious Food & Wine Classic returns to Aspen this weekend, featuring world-class food and demonstrations prepared by some of the best chefs and food industry personnel in the world. Chefs attending and presenting at the event include Rick Bayless, Jacques Pepin, Tyler Florence, Marcus Samuelsson, Eric Ripert and many more. For more information, visit www.foodandwine.com.

Print your cake and eat it too How the 3-D food printing industry is going pro and planting seeds in multiple economies by Natalia Bayona

lectronic devices do everything for us; smart phones comb over the world’s news to deliver us personalized feeds and we can connect with friends instantaneously using watches. Now, engineers are building printers capable of replicating mom’s homemade recipes. These programmable appliances, supported by investors like NASA and Dutch research company TNO, are able to fabricate meals to an operator’s content in shapes and textures not achievable by hand using two basic functions: a digital interface (often connected to the Internet) and a mechanized extrusion system (e.g., syringebased) that manipulates food. Developers around the world began experimenting with edible printing materials, like sugars and purées, after patents for more advanced 3-D printing technology expired last February. While the concept of printing food is materializing internationally, the industry is still in its early stages. And the Culinary Institute of America, NASA and start-ups around the world are

testing the waters. The Culinary Institute is introducing food printing to students with the help of digital design company 3D Systems, who developed a professional confectionary 3-D printer by harnessing the methods practiced by Los Angeles’ made-to-order 3-D bakeshop, The Sugar Lab. The printer, ChefJet Pro, is capable of creating bite-sized candies and sugary décor like cake toppers at high speeds. In January, 3D Systems began working with the Culinary Institute to introduce the ChefJet Pro to upcoming chefs. The machine can synthesize 8-by-8by-8-inch dessert accompaniments in any color using open-source computer aided design (CAD) software, which acts like a chef ’s drawing board, says Thomas Vaccaro, the Culinary Institute’s dean of baking and pastry arts. “The [ChefJet Pro] allows the chef to get a printed outcome of, really, whatever they wanna design…” Vaccaro says. “We’re not saying we’re replacing everything we’re doing by hand. … We’re looking to elevate that.” Recipes can be filed and manipu-

“Student reaction up to now has been very positive,” he adds. The institute will offer a fellowship program in the baking and pastry department for graduates who want to work in the printing lab and printing classes will be incorporated into the curriculum by next year, he says.

drink Craft Sabbath

No place is celebrating the convergence of beer and extreme metal more than Colorado. by Christopher Krouatin

eer and heavy metal are pretty obvious bedfellows. When one pictures the average headbanger, there’s usually a tall boy in his or her hand. While wine and spirits often have a pretentious veneer around them, beer is refreshing, satisfying and cures what ails you. So too does a blazing metal riff scratch the rock ‘n’ roll itch in a way that jazz or indie rock never can. But in recent years, beer and metal have joined forces more frequently, and with more artistry behind their collaboration. Metal beers and breweries are becoming common occurrences within the drinker’s world. And nowhere is that more present than in Colorado, which has become a necessary stop not only for beer enthusiasts but also for metalheads of discerning taste. “We certainly weren’t the first,” says Nick Nunns, owner of Denver’s TRVE Brewing. With its bleak Viking-esque wooden interior and its slew of flavorful metal-themed microbrews, TRVE has become a Denver staple for fans of both unique beer and extreme music. “Brewers have always loved evil or demonic imagery. Belgium’s Lucifer is like the oldest example of that. And as for metal, 3 Floyds in Indiana was doing this long before us.” Indiana’s 3 Floyds is known for its collaborations with extreme all-stars like Pig Destroyer and High On Fire. But within extreme metal, TRVE has definitely become as recognizable as 3 Floyds, partly for honoring more entrenched underground bands like experimental death metal crew Horrendous, occult metallers Absu, and Portland stoner rockers Red Fang. It doesn’t hurt that if touring bands contact TRVE, they’ll have a free round waiting for them on arrival. Black Sky Brewing, a second Denver brewery and tap room, is the Judas Priest to TRVE’s Norwegian black metal. Co-owner Lila Mackey thinks beer and metal have always been an item. “We just have more places to enjoy them now.” The brewery hosts metal bands to shred among the fermentation tanks — Mackey says it makes the beer taste better — and has thrown its own festival in the past featuring beery thrashers like Municipal Waste, Ghoul, along with local stars Speedwolf (another Black Sky Fest is scheduled for this December). While the metal brewing trend has certainly seen more popularity in Denver, Boulder isn’t far behind. As Nunns’ observed, many small breweries like to show off their dark sides these days — Avery Brewing has its Demons Of Ale series, while Mountain Sun sports its Headbanger Helles Bock and Shadow Master Belgian Stout. And while jam band-friendly names and labels may sell better in Boulder, metal remains part of the brewing process. John Fiorilli of Mountain Sun says, “While we are known as the ‘hippie’ brewpub around town, our brewery team listens to quite a bit of metal while we work.” As metal beer and brewing become more recognized, so increase a metalhead’s options. Iron Maiden’s Trooper Ale has become a staple of any beer warehouse, while underground black metallers like Behemoth and 1349 have endorsed their own brews. But between its long history of craft brewing and its appreciation for underground outlaw culture, Colorado has proved the perfect breeding ground for craft beer and heavy metal’s demon spawn, and will no doubt attract thirsty headbangers, and hopefully convert some of the metal-curious to the faith.. “You come here on a Friday night and it’s packed with people in their work clothes,” says Nick Nunns. “They’re attracted to quality beer. Hopefully they come here and find some metal they like, too.” Boulder Weekly

GEMINI

MAY 21-JUNE 20:

Before E. Annie Proulx became a Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist, she wrote a series of how-to books, including a dairy foods cookbook and an instructional text on making your own hard cider. But the manual of hers that I especially want to call your attention to right now is Plan and Make Your Own Fences & Gates, Walkways, Walls & Drives. It might be inspirational for you to read it. You’re in a phase when it makes perfect sense to create new paths for yourself to travel on. This will allow you to forgo at least some of the paths that others have built and that can’t actually take you where you need to go.

CANCER

JUNE 21-JULY 22:

I’m getting itchy to see you blow your own cover. I would love you to come all the way out of your hiding place, even if just for a while, and see what happens if you make full disclosures and brave displays. My hope is that you will close the gap between the real you and the images that people have of you. Does that sound interesting? Or have you become so fond of being a big riddle that you can’t imagine any other way to be? Maybe I can tempt you to be more self-revelatory if I add this: Taking your disguises off even briefly will enable you to discover intriguing secrets about yourself. And then once you put your disguises back on, you will seem more mysterious than ever.

LEO

JULY 23-AUG. 22:

A new cycle will begin for you after your birthday. Between now and then you will be wrapping up the current cycle. I invite you to do so with a flourish. Don’t just wait around passively for the themes of the last 11 months to fade away or go to sleep. Instead, set an intention to bring them to a climactic close. Schedule a splashy graduation or a grand finale. Plan a cathartic party or a celebratory rite of passage. Take a playful leap of faith or try that magic trick you’ve been saving for the perfect moment. Or all of the above!

VIRGO

AUG. 23-SEPT. 22:

“I’m tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin deep,” said author Jean Kerr. “That’s deep enough. What do you want, an adorable pancreas?” In accordance with the current astrological omens, Virgo, you should feel free to play around with that impish idea. Just for now, appreciate and enjoy the surfaces of things. Make decisions based on first impressions and instant analyses. Give your attention and energy to what looks appealing to you, and don’t think too hard about stuff that presents a boring appearance.

Boulder Weekly

Each of us has at least one pesky ghost or nagging demon that occupies a dark corner of our psyches. It may have been there for years, or we might have picked it up more recently during a phase of temporary insanity. In any case, most of us can benefit from conducting a periodic banishing ritual. Now would be prime time for you to do just that. Ready? With your imagination, draw a clockwise circle of your favorite-colored light on the floor or ground. Next, identify an image that makes you feel happy and safe, and visualize four versions of it at the four cardinal points, hovering three feet above your circle. Then say this: “I dissolve any hex and banish any pest that has been draining my energy. I purge any wasteful emotions, unsound ideas and trivial desires that I may have grown attached to.” To put the seal on your magic, laugh for two minutes.

CAPRICORN

DEC. 22-JAN. 19:

By my estimation, 97 percent of the population is chronically starving for the pleasure of being listened to with deep empathy and focused intelligence. Very few of us enjoy the prolonged and undivided attention of a receptive ally on a regular basis. It’s rare to be in the presence of a person whose sole agenda is to be innocently curious about you. Your assignment, Capricorn, is to go on a quest to remedy this shortfall. Figure out how you can get the skillful listening you’re missing. (P.S. One way to prime the magic is to offer yourself up as a skillful listener to others.)

AQUARIUS

JAN. 20-FEB. 18:

At this year’s Grammy Awards ceremony, British singer Sam Smith won in four categories. His tune “Stay with Me” was named Song of the Year. In one of his acceptance speeches, Smith expressed appreciation for the difficult muse who inspired the song. “I want to thank the man who this record is about, who I fell in love with last year,” he said. “Thank you so much for breaking my heart, because you got me four Grammys.” I invite you to come up with a comparable expression of gratitude, Aquarius. What experience that seemed like tough luck at the time has actually turned out to be a blessing? Now would be a perfect time to acknowledge and relish and make full use of the unexpected grace.

PISCES

FEB. 19-MARCH 20:

The Bay of Fundy is a branch of the Atlantic Ocean between the Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. It’s renowned for its tidal range. When high tide comes, the water may be as much as 53 feet higher than what it is at low tide. The shift back and forth happens twice a day. I’m wondering if in the coming weeks your emotional ebb and flow will have a similar variability. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you could experience both very high highs and very deep depths. Please note that when I say “depths,” I don’t mean sadness or despair. Rather, I’m talking about a profound ability to feel your way into the heart of things.
