illboards must to be living creatures, for they appear to propagate, spreading everywhere, growing to enormous size, shouting corporate messages at us — and even watching and tracking us with their digital eyes. Now, though, rather than billboards becoming human, we humans are becoming billboards. Literally. For the love of money, the National Basketball
Association (NBA) is transforming its chief human asset — i.e., basketball players — into advertising placards that run, dribble, leap, twist and dunk. While individual golfers and racecar drivers have long splattered themselves with their sponsors’ logos, NBA teams are now planning to become the first major U.S. sports league to sell ad space on their players’ game-day jerseys. Chintzy? Well, yes, but not cheap. Team owners expect brandname corporations to pay at least $100 million to have their logos plastered on the chests of basketball stars. Calling this a “stylistic move,” the mammon-worshipping owners say the ads will be modest — just a two-and-ahalf inch patch displaying the corporate brand of, say, Budweiser, Bank of America, Hooters or Viagra. The ad size seems small, but ESPN’s high-def TV cameras will focus on them and show them to viewers hundreds of times in every game. And, of course, to squeeze

ever-more cash out of each human billboard, both the owners and advertisers will steadily expand the commercial space to cover the entire uniform. Actually, I’m not 100 percent opposed to ads on uniforms, for I’ve been saying since the first Clinton Administration that presidents and Congress critters should have to put the corporate logos of their big funders on their suits, shirts, skirts, etc., so We The People can know at a glance whom they really represent. It’s my Truth-in-Politics proposal and I hope you’ll push it, too. This opinion column does not necessarily reflect the views of Boulder Weekly. June 2, 2016 5

The doublespeak of The Donald by Dave Anderson
M
any in the mainstream media talk about how similar Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders are. Supposedly they are both “anti-establishment” populist candidates who are “making the same pitch,” as the Washington Post puts it. When Sanders found out that late night TV host Jimmy Kimmel was going to have Trump on his show as a guest, Sanders requested that Kimmel ask Trump if he would debate Sanders. Trump said yes, but only if the event raised $10 to $15 million for a charity. The host of The Young Turks online show offered $1 million. A tech company offered $10 million. A boxing promoter offered $20 million. Nevertheless, Trump chickened out, saying that it would be “inappropriate” to debate a loser like Sanders. So we lost an opportunity to see which one of them is the real champion for working people. Meanwhile, Trump has proclaimed that the GOP will become a “workers’ party” under his leadership. It will be “a party of people that haven’t had a real wage increase in 18 years, that are angry.” He said he thinks cutting Social Security is a “big mistake” for the party. That sounds good. But The Donald might advocate the opposite position tomorrow. Or in his next sentence. Sometimes he serves up a Sarah Palin-like word salad and you don’t know what the hell he said.
He flummoxes fact checkers because he deploys so many falsehoods so quickly. Trump has flip-flopped on wages and Social Security quite a bit. In a Fox Business presidential debate last November, moderator Neil Cavuto asked Trump if he was sympathetic to protesters demanding the minimum wage be raised. “I can’t be,” Trump replied. He explained that wages are already too high: “We are a country that is being beaten on every front economically ... there is nothing that we do now to win ... Taxes too high, wages too high. We’re not going to be able to compete against the world ... People have to go out, they have to work really hard and they have to get into that upper stratum. But we cannot [have higher minimum wages] if we are going to compete with the rest of the world.” After the debate, in an interview on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, co-host Mika Brzezinski pressed him on his comment. He wouldn’t back down. He insisted, “We have to become competitive with the world. Our taxes are too high, our wages are too high. Everything is too high. We have to compete with other countries.” Brzezinski told him that “nobody can live” on the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. He held his ground. Later, he told Chuck Todd on NBC’s Meet The Press that he now felt see THE ANDERSON FILES Page 7

BOULDER’S LARGEST BIRKENSTOCK SELECTION
Activism matters
Joel Dyer, in all his wisdom, did it again with the recent cover article [“The evolution of a movement,” May 19.] The two protests that Joel covered on May 12 and 14 were empowering. I was part of the BLM auction protest. Our meager group at the front of the Holiday Inn entrance didn’t look too forboding to the BLM plunderers stationed inside. Then suddenly, the tide turned. With great surprise and delight, a cavalry of protesters appeared from across the street, armed with their poetic signs of epic size, carried in formation and singing chants of rebellion. It was thrilling. Chill-up-the-spine thrilling. We had us a protest. The massive crowd was focused and effective. Speakers spoke words of wisdom and outrage, people sang and chanted, and the police made an effort of intimidation, threatening arrest if we didn’t leave. We didn’t budge and they backed down. The Thornton fracking pad protest
on Saturday had its great glory as well. Though I wasn’t able to attend, I was moved by the people who stood up to the corporate henchmen once again, and won. Bill Mckibbon was there lending his voice and then the courage of the impassioned protesters, ignoring repeated threats of arrest, planted their beautiful banner on the fracking site and taunted the police to put ’em in the paddy wagon. The reaction? The paper tiger of authority ran with their tail between their legs back to the main road, no arrests made. We are growing leaders, they are growing weak. The outrage of the situation makes their position hard to defend, morally and ethically. We are voicing the pain of the earth and its inhabitants. The latest hydra head of corporate greed is the secret TPP trade deal. Their investor-state dispute settlement kangaroo court will have the hyenas see LETTERS Page 8

grams like Social Security and Medicare,” as part of a deficit reduction effort. Clovis is quite typical of Trump’s advisers. They are the usual reverse-RobinHood-establishment Republicans. Last fall, Trump claimed he would be a different kind of Republican — he would raise taxes on the wealthy. When he finally released his tax plan, we found out that he wanted to give gigantic budget-busting tax cuts for the rich. We don’t get much discussion of these policy matters. Instead, Trump dominates the news cycle with sensational antics. He recently recycled some sewage from the rightwing witchhunts against the Clintons in the 1990s and the mainstream media played along. Meanwhile, the National Labor Relations Board has certified a union for more than 500 members of the staff of the 64-story Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas. Trump has been fighting these hard-working housekeepers, cooks and waiters every inch of the way. The vast majority of them are Latino immigrants. They picket outside the hotel with a sign that reads, “Make America Great Again! Mr. Trump, Start Here.” This opinion column does not necessarily reflect the views of Boulder Weekly.

the pain of minimum wage workers. He said, “I would like to see an increase of some magnitude. But I’d rather leave it to the states. Let the states decide.” The Washington Post said this exchange indicated that Trump favors an increase in pay. Well, sort of. Actually he said he was against using presidential power to mandate an increase in the federal minimum wage. You could argue that he favored abolishing the federal minimum wage altogether. So, like nearly every Republican, he is against an increase in the federal minimum wage. Trump also claims to oppose cutting Social Security and Medicare. This is a departure from traditional conservative ideology. However, Bloomberg Businessweek reported that Trump confidentially told House Speaker Paul Ryan that from “a moral standpoint” he supports cutting Social Security but won’t admit it publicly because it would hurt his election chances when his Democratic opponents (Sanders and Clinton) not only support the program but want to expand the benefits. Trump policy adviser Sam Clovis recently said that the real estate tycoon would look at changes to all federal programs, “including entitlement pro-

Oil takes more than it gives
Government, industry and local chambers of commerce are throwing a lot of money against the petitions to get amendments 75 & 78 on the ballot this fall. These merchants of doubt are suggesting that the result of these amendments would have an adverse effect on Colorado jobs and economy. The reality could not be farther from their not-sosubtle suggestions. What would it do to Colorado’s economy if we lost the blue skies and clear mountain streams that bring tourist dollars here? How many jobs would be lost if the tourist industry suffered because of our unhealthy air and water? What will happen to tourism when the views of the plains and mountains turn into views of drilling towers and the air smells like rotten eggs? If you really want to know the impact on our economy ask the people of Dickinson, North Dakota. Ask them what it did to their economy. Read the article in The Atlantic, “A North Dakota Oil Boom Goes Bust.” Yes, be informed. Be truly informed by facts and don’t listen to the merchants of doubt who would have you sacrifice Colorado for a temporary boom for a few large investors and corporations as the sacrifice of your health and safety. Sign Yes on 75 & 78. Jim Wilson/Longmont

Climate destruction is for real and time is running short. Scientists say the world must cut carbon emissions and kick our fossil fuel habit. Sadly, these efforts may be thwarted by corporate greed. The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is a gigantic new international economic agreement negotiated by 12 governments, and 600 corporate “advisers,” to facilitate unfettered corporate access to Pacific Rim resources and markets, including the U.S., under the rubric of “free trade.” It should be no surprise “climate change” is found nowhere in the 6,000 page agreement. Rather, the TPP will double the number of foreign fossil fuel corporations able to challenge U.S. environmental policies in TPP “tribunals” empowered to overrule national legislation and bypass U.S. courts. Efforts to reduce carbon emissions, protect public health and promote clean energy will be subject to corporate attacks on an unprecedented scale.
Under the TPP, efforts by Boulder County or the state of Colorado to better protect public health and the environment from the ill effects of fracking will be vulnerable to suits by foreign corporations. If the corporations win, policies will have to change or taxpayers will be forced to pay compensation for lost future profits. The likely chilling effect is obvious. The TPP will also mandate the unobstructed export of American natural gas to large markets in Japan and Singapore, ramping up fracking here at home with its associated climate and environmental impacts. And that’s not all. The TPP will make it easier to offshore U.S. manufacturing to more carbon intensive factories in Vietnam and Malaysia. So, let’s not sacrifice our climate to satisfy corporate greed in the name of “free trade.” Please tell Congressman Polis (303-484-9596) to vote “No” on the TPP. Linda Hardesty/Boulder
Currency manipulation under TPP
Several of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) countries manipulate their currencies to make their goods cheaper and U.S. goods more expensive. If the TPP passes, this practice will contribute significantly to the U.S. trade deficit and the loss of American jobs, particularly in manufacturing. The Obama administration failed to include enforceable disciplines against currency manipulation in the TPP despite the facts that hundreds of congressional Democrats and Republicans demanded it. Why? Because key nations refused to sign the TPP if it had any curbs on currency manipulation. Instead, the Obama administration issued a Joint Resolution that was not part of the TPP that was supposed to take care of the problem. The Joint Resolution is not connected to the TPP nor does it have an enforcement mechanism. The Japanese government, a known currency manipulator, stated the Joint Agreement wouldn’t affect their currency policy. Ford Motor Company concurred that the Joint Declaration wouldn’t affect TPP countries’ currency manipulation. This means that Japan and some other TPP countries will continue to manipulate their currencies, which will undermine American jobs and increase our trade deficit. Congressman Jared Polis will be voting on the TPP. Currency manipulation is just one of the many reasons for him to vote against it. Please call him and let him know what you think: 303-484-9596.

101-WORDFICTIONCONTEST
W
elcome to Boulder Weekly’s Second Annual 101-Word Fiction Contest. Just as we had hoped and expected, this year’s competition grew significantly over last year’s inaugural event — the number of entries more than doubled. And once again, we were pleased, to say the least, by the overall creativity of the writers. You folks have quite the imaginations. There was no limit on the number of submissions a single writer could make and a lot of our submitters entered more than one piece. When it came to the judging, the number of submissions by a writer was not taken into consideration. As a result, you will notice that some writers have more than one piece published while others will have to try again next year to get their work into the final 25, which we have published herein. There were four judges who assigned each piece a number between 1 and 5. After the judging, the numbers were added together with the overall highest scores being the winners. In case of ties, which there were, the pieces which had originally received the same score from the judges, were rescored
in a mini-competition just between those two or three entries in order to gain a final order. In the end, five winners were selected along with an additional four entries being chosen for honorable mention. We have published those nine stories along with the other 16 of our 25 overall finalists. We did do one thing a bit different this year. We allowed BW’s editorial staff to get in on the fun, sort of. Our editors were allowed to write their own 101-word fiction pieces this year but those entries were not judged as part of the competition. You can find them seperately on page 17. As for prizes and this year’s fiction party, we are still working out the details, but we’ll be sure and notify all of our writers in this year’s competition as soon as we get it sorted out with all those little nagging details like where and when we are gathering. So with that, please read and enjoy this year’s winners and finalists in our 101-word fiction contest. And as always, thanks most of all to these creative writers for sharing their amazing imaginations with all of us. — Joel Dyer, editor
101-WORDFICTIONWINNERS first place Like a Rabbit
“Take your time and kill it clean.” My father leaned in over my shoulder. His breath, bitter with last night’s whiskey, blew hot on my ear. The rabbit’s eye wandered back and forth between the .22’s irons. The rabbit warren surrounded us, its dark burrows leading every which way under the dead prairie grass. “A wounded rabbit screams like a woman.” I thought of my mother, of her brittle silence and her fresh black eye at the breakfast table, of my father’s heavy hands. I took a deep breath and tightened my finger on the trigger. Please, I thought, no screaming. — Sam Larson
10 June 2, 2016
second place Old Palsy Hands
His old palsy hands reach for my throat and take hold. I’m startled, but I don’t react. I haven’t been this close to him in decades. His hands, they smell like ... menthol and something sweet, maybe a little rot. His mouth. The lozenges he sucks on. His hands are stronger than I would’ve thought, and I am happy for him, for his strength that remains. I smile a little, and his grip tightens. Then, his grip loosens; He is leaning against me. I hold him up. But it isn’t enough. He lets go my throat, and we hug, sort of. — Chris Norris
third place The First Day of the Rest of His Life
He started every day looking at the crack in the ceiling. It seemed to be getting bigger. That would do it, wouldn’t it? The ceiling just falls on him while he’s sleeping. A family of four crashing through from the hotel room above. Right on top of him. With great force. No suffering. And it would probably happen in the middle of the day. “Why was he in bed then anyway,” bystanders would ask while leaning into the yellow police tape. “Oh, he was always sleeping,” the hotel receptionist would reply, “Sleeping his life away. Never had a family. Till now.” — Jonathan Brown

101-WORDFICTIONWINNERS fourth place Reunion
I shoveled caked manure patties until the cicadas started screaming and owls began negotiations. Mother rang the cast iron triangle as the soggy soil belched beneath my cowboy boots. After a soak in the tub it was time to go. Our land barge was a silver Lincoln that levied ruts on the dirt road. I lounged in the backseat, munching candy cigarettes and chewing bubblegum cigars. The eight track whined with distress and speakers blared gunfighter ballads. The cool leather seats were cracked and supple in their disintegration. I sought to solve a cube of many colors with random twists. — Joseph Sterling
fifth place Patagonian Window
It’s a challenge to the big-bodied TV set I’m watching. I’m bloated on beer and curled under a stained sheet. Who gives a shit? The languages leak under the door like smells and lead out to this country, almost dripping off the globe. John Prine sings about his Mexican home, and it’s the best damn song I’ve heard. No sense in its replacement. Again. It beckons: the voices, the strings, the studio buzz, the underpowered lamp above my bed, a Patagonian wilderness a horse-neigh away out my window. Glaciers be damned, friends. There is more that is melting than ice. — Ryan Slabaugh

Sweet
The family next to me became visibly upset after my tenth cotton candy. “Some people,” the father said loudly, putting his arm around his wife’s shivering shoulders, “would have you believe there wasn’t a war on.” He glared while I licked the sugar from my fingertips. “Some people would act like nothing was happening.” Above the train station bombs walked like thunder. None of us were going to survive the night. I finished my cotton candy and threw the paper cone down onto the tracks. I could hear rats fighting for the scraps, scuffling in the darkness. I love cotton candy. — Sam Larson
Life Study
When he was five, he chose to have one marshmallow now rather than two later, and they said he’d always lack restraint. Aged 21 at Stanford, he got swept up in his role as guard, and they called him a potential Nazi. Based on resume and wage data versus women co-workers, they considered him unduly privileged by age 40. Then at 65, he waited in a room with candy meant for children and lied about the amount to which he helped himself. They sighed and checked the data, happy to see average life expectancy gave him only 13.7 more years. — Kate Jonuska
Tea Time
The gray house tilted in the early evening fog. Sigrid’s aunt Beatrice sat, still and cold in the rocker, her eyes closed. Sigrid answered the door to emergency men in heavy coats, damp from the mist. Red lights washed the house. “She’s resting now.” “Ma’am, please let us inside. You will need to come with us.” “I don’t understand. It’s almost dinner time.” Two ambulance men escorted Sigrid to the waiting vehicle. “Please, she needs me.” A thin breeze lifted the fog and dried leaves swept the rocky drive. From the house came a frail voice. “Sigrid, where is my tea?” — Geoff O’Keeffe
This is Life
“This is the life,” she’d said earlier that night, her voice now taunting him. He focused on the brightness where the orange turned to yellow turned to white. Crackle and pop sending the tiny sparks scattering blindly like waterbugs disappearing up into the night sky. “Best entertainment,” he heard her say. He’d miss her. He tried to smile the way he would when apologizing to her. The warmth on his face. Tightness there where his tears had dried. He was now alone. But not for long. They would find him. And the bone fragments. They would put him away. For life. — Jonathan Brown See 101 FICTION Page 12

The Locust Killer
At lunchtime, he wasn’t sure he could eat. A hangover had set, caused by the poisons he had spread the night before. They always crept into him like a sickness, no matter how many shields he built and masks he wore. The pests he doused — God-damned if God-damned is literal, he explained to his wife, minister, diesel man, loan officer and anyone who would listen — they’re like a monster without a head. It triggered conversations about how, exactly, to kill ‘em best. Made you a grilled cheese, she said. Might pass. Eat it. Should we pray first? Never did no harm. — Ryan Slabaugh
Gomden
Few Bhuddists could walk their talk like Gomden. He’d been in the sangha for at least two decades, though he wasn’t ordained. His shaven head gleamed like a freshly minted bowling ball. And his discourses, they swept your mind clean like a spring Chinook melts snow. Ignorance. Suffering. Impermanence. Enlightenment. You could see the cold fire deep in his eyes, almost perpetual, monolithic even. Nobody had ever seen him get vitriolic, petty or mean. We all agreed: He’d cornered the market on equanimity. Then he blew out the back of his skull with a Glock. The suicide note was brief. “No Friends!” — Tim Gale

Not a House or a Neighborhood for Privacy Not All Monsters
His voice will leak into you like cold coffee. He will stare out from black-hole eyes, with curls like coal smoke over his brow, and he will flash his teeth. He will say, “Don’t look at me like that.” You will feel the splits in your ribs, the burn in your belly, the blood on your body, the breaking of your bones, the smell of yourself like an acid rain; you will feel your mother beside you. You will feel your mother inside you. And you will say, “You know what you are.” You will hold out a handful of teeth. — Lexi Schwartz
Catholic Church bells toll through the windows at noon. The old mother of six children sits in her recliner by a window in an afternoon sunspot. The house sold quickly. She imagines the new family: adding dents to the one bathroom door, banging “let me in” kicking “hurry up,” notching out nooks of solitude under beds, in closets, in a tree, cursing at buzzing alarms, not their own, chiming too early, tasting the ink of fresh newspapers carried in the steam of some other house’s coffee, and getting as used to it all as you are to your own morning breath. — Jean Thompson
Biting Pencils
Dadio’s biting pencils during breakfast. He loves the way they crunch when he clamps down on their orange paint, leaving imprints of his teeth in the wood. He doesn’t touch the erasers but enjoys smelling them. Why he bites I’ll never know, although maybe he’s trying to leave his mark on the world. The taste of pencil serves as a starter for his main course of a boiled egg and Sanka, served by a muumuu matron pretending to be my mother. “Bring pepper,” Dadio scolds, swinging a spoon to crack his shell. — Kirby Wright See 101 FICTION Page 14

Spirit - Unafraid
In the dream she walked toward the empty lot where cement steps told of a house now gone. Taking the steps, she reached for where the doorknob would have been. She saw nothing, but felt something firm in her palm. A sharp turn to the right, and the door that was not there opened. The motion of stepping inside the house that was now gone set her spirit free, and she flew through the dark molding rooms, unafraid. Spying an open trap door, she flew down into the basement where demons lurked, but she flew around pipes and forgotten memories, unafraid. — Kimberley Koz

“Scientists and diplomats quibbled over the temperature cap (1.5 or 2 C?) while CO2 and methane spewed unchecked. Populations expanded, pressuring limited resources. Gun violence pervaded, ISIS slaughtered, Taliban murdered girls, Evangelicals thumped bibles, income and wealth inequality were standard, voting and civil rights trampled, tolerance and civility gone, 24x7 news droned on. The super-volcano swelled on geologic time, unnoticed, until all hell broke loose. Spaceship Earth turned itself inside out. An immense fury of heat and toxic gas engulfed the world. A global environmental reset was effected. Humankind was extinguished, forever. They never knew what hit them. The cockroach survives.” — Robert Carrier
The Last Hamburger
Late August. Eighty degrees. Three friends under a summer night sky, stars shining through the elm leaves. “Won’t see you guys for a while,” I said. We were going to separate colleges. After my buddies walked away, I headed to our favorite diner whose neon tube signs were always inviting. Millie, waitress and night chef, greeted me. “Hi ya, kiddo. Where are your pals?” “Moving on.” “How about the usual?” From a drawer next to the grill she pulled a circle of red meat wrapped in wax paper. “Guess it’s a good thing they’re not here. This is the last hamburger.” — Bill Reef
Untitled
Most days you wake up but one day you wont. That’s my motto, along with others, but that’s my favorite. It was inspired by the one day she never woke up. She had always hated sleeping, the idea of being helpless for that long scared her. The gasoline was next to her, apparently alcohol hadn’t been enough. The song Sleep Forever stuck on repeat. I had found her, my childhood hero, I thought she was merely asleep until days later when the fatal epiphany hit me, you get what you’re scared of, mom got eternal sleep, and now I have loneliness. — Maitreya Rose 14 June 2, 2016
Scrub
The lunch rush was winding down. The trash needed emptied and the pots and pans sink was almost full. But there was still time to step outside, and why not ask the redheaded waitress who had laughed and joked with you when you were running out of clean forks and glasses and the busboys kept asking, and the cooks wanted more shrimp peeled, and your phone rang and it was your girlfriend but you didn’t pick up because she was just so depressing. She says sure and you smoke in the alley and the pots and pans wait. — BR Holland
Wrong
The lights were extremely bright and intense. Disorienting. He accepted this was the intended effect. The red/blue strobe lit the shrubbery near the gate in front of the house with the white pillars and the three car garage. He wished for the comfort and familiarity of the unkempt lawns and bungalows with pealing paint on his own street. His mother’s Buick idled roughly even though she was still making payments on it, payments left behind by his father, along with everything else. He rolled down the window and reached for his license but saw only the repeated muzzle flashes. — BR Holland Boulder Weekly

No Name snoozes on the steps of this porch as he has done for the past ten years, long before I called it my porch. His pale, mud-colored fur is eaten by mange, plagued with fleas, rheumy eyes, one blind, overshot jaw that never closes. The only time I’ve seen him run is when he’s dreaming. There used to be a pup here, a bounder who wanted to play. No Name barked in his face. That pup ran out into the road. Killed.

Mr. Szabo was my European history teacher in 11th grade. He was Serbian, an emigrant, accent thick as sour cream. He taught part-time and had a carpet shop. We knew he loathed The Commies. First off he assigned us One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich by Solzhenhitsyn. I’ll always remember Ivan hungry in the gulag stashing his spoon in his boot. Mr. Szabo had a PhD and bushy eyebrows. He must’ve been considered one of the intelligentsia. Before Christmas he told us how in prison his female interrogator made him drink a gallon of water before walking on his stomach with her polished boots. — Tim Gale

Fever dreams. My bed is on fire. Every fold in my body contains a river. At four in the morning it’s 100 degrees. All the air has been sucked out of my room. Why so much heat? Is this really necessary? Turn it down, Cambodia. The earth smells like melted crayons, like a burned out asteroid, like a crematorium at sunset. Where are the monsoons? The bindings in my books have lost their grip. They dive off the shelf, fall to their death. No matter. Words are no use in this desert.

Do not destroy the spider web in the window. See the craftsmanship, the silky concentrics shimmering in the breeze? It nets a view of the Vltava, floating ducks, the ash-soiled tiles of roofs. There is a hill in the background stuffed with maisons and pensiones. I like the orange one best — it reminds me of sherbet. The web has no spider. Still, its careful construction waits. How many homes on the hill are missing their masters? Curtains hide the windows in the hotels. Ghosts?

The Adventures of John Ruhn
For most folk out in the country with hardly a soul in sight there wasn’t a lot to do. Christian liked to put round objects on a variety of surfaces to see how they’d roll. For example a rock. “And... roll!” He’d instruct and wait for the magic. Marbles worked best, especially the whites and blues. His sister Jazz would occasionally pop in on his independent, experimental games. “You can watch this funk, just don’t touch, punk,” he’d rap, “Or you can listen. It’s easy listening.” He once tried a shot put ball as an alternative but the heavy metal didn’t do much. — Jonathan Brown

The wind was just coming up as he made his way into the trash-lined ally behind the hotel and turned towards the bus station. A block down he stopped just long enough to look for the dead pigeon he’d seen in the puddle of oily water the day before. It was gone. Luis craved such mysteries. For as long as he could remember, he had always occupied his mind by pondering the oddest of things; why a leaf chooses to fall at a certain moment or the yellow patterns made by Rose’s eggs when he punctured them with his fork. These were his secrets alone... and they made him happy. — Joel Dyer

The receipt
He smiles and takes my cash, our fingers meet in the exchange. I anticipate the receipt, the chance to touch again. “Have a good day, ma’am,” he says, putting the receipt in my bag, looking me in the eye before turning back to the waiting line. But I keep looking at him. His beard hides his age. The smile lines and sunspots expose mine. “When did I change from a miss to a ma’am?” The question sits there in the space of my mind — unasked and unanswered — something to mull over another time, in a different place. “Thank you, you too.” — Angela K.

Sitting down in the grass, I kick off my shoes and lean against the tree. It’s nice to take a moment — feel the earth underneath me, soaking in the sporadic rays of sunshine coming through the leaves. I don’t take the time to do this enough. I’m awakened by my own shriek, my vocal chords erupting, my heart pumping blood into my ears. My eyes skirt back and forth, looking for him. I know he’s here. I jump up, and start walking away, sinking into the grass as the roots and thorns punish my bare feet. The moment is gone. Forever. — Caitlin Rockett

The woman sat at the diner, absentmindedly fiddling with the menu, checking her watch every dozen seconds. “Can I bring you a piece of pie?” the waitress asked. Startled, the woman answered, “For me? No, no. I’m fine.” As the waitress sauntered away, the woman called at her, “Cherry! A slice of cherry pie, please!” Minutes later the waitress returned. Now a curly-headed boy was sitting across from the woman. They sat silently as the waitress put down the plate and politely declined her offer of something else. “Well,” he said. “At least you remembered cherry was my favorite flavor.” — Amanda Moutinho
Jim and Claudia
Claudia wasn’t home much. Something told me she didn’t really like Jim, not anymore. She had spent her life thinking they were special, but those days I think he made her feel ordinary. Her frequent outings gave Jim lots of time to sit ten-year-old me on his lap, feeding me sips of beer and drags off his tobacco pipe. Drunk and high, he would let me pull on his long, grey beard while he told me stories. I would come home smelling of smoke and booze and wearing the guilt of loving another woman’s man while she was off running errands. — Sarah Haas

What’s really in your dog’s bowl? When you read the labels on premium dog and cat kibble, the story looks impressive. But is it really? While a premium, grain-free kibble may promise a high amount of protein and other essential nutrients, your pet may not be getting all the nutrition the label promises. The real key to feeding your canine or feline companion is how much bioavailable nutrition they're able to metabolize. Kibble is designed for a long shelf life, with nearly 95% of dry food being manufactured through an extrusion process where mixtures are heated, then dried at temperatures from 200º to 300º, which degrades proteins and naturally inherent vitamins and minerals.

Meat has only 1%.” – International animal nutritionist, Dr. Richard Patton

Once a year on the prairie Symphony in the Flint Hills joins conservation with symphonic music by Peter Alexander ON THE BILL: Symphony in the Flint Hills. Noon-11 p.m. Saturday, June 11. (Rain date: Sunday, June 12). South Clements Pasture, Chase County, Kansas. (Eight hours from Boulder by car) 6:45 p.m. Kansas City Symphony, Aram Demirjian, conductor. Program announced at the event. For tickets, directions and other details: 620-273-8955 or symphonyintheflinthills. org/events/
Not only does Symphony in the Flint Hills provide classical music with a beautiful backdrop, the event also promotes preservation of the tallgrass prairie, the largest remaining area in the country.

oulder’s orchestras like to present nature in their programming. In Kansas, they like to present their programming in nature. Symphony in the Flint Hills is happening for the 11th time on June 11 in Chase County, Kansas, about eight hours from Boulder. It’s a unique event that focuses on the preservation of the largest remaining area of pristine tallgrass prairie in the country, and includes a concert by the Kansas City Symphony. Every year the event is located in a different section of prairie, with tents to house the many different offerings, culminating with the concert near sunset. An inspired mix of conservation and music, Symphony in the Flint Hills originated with a 40th birthday party given by Kansas rancher Jane Koger in 1994. She assembled an orchestra for the party because, she said, she always heard a symphony when she was out on the prairie. Ten years later, the nonprofit Symphony in the Flint Hills was formed, holding the first event two years after that, in 2006. As executive director Christy Davis explains it, “Our mission from the beginning has been to enhance appreciation for the tallgrass prairie. It was organized not by folks whose primary mission was symphonic music, but by folks whose primary mission was conservation.” But inspired by Koger, a partnership with the Kansas City Symphony has been part of the formula from the beginning. “[Music] enhances the emotional experience,” Davis says. “It’s one thing to go out and see this open range and beautiful rolling landscape. That’s breathtaking. But then when you set music to it, it’s an emotional experience unlike any other.” see FLINT HILLS Page 26

The program of the event may be kept a secret, but Aram Demirjian, who will conduct, says it’ll be a fun mix with something for everyone.
FLINT HILLS from Page 25
The Flint Hills area — 9,926 square miles in eastern Kansas and northeastern Oklahoma — is a valuable ecoregion because it has never been farmed. The presence of a hard layer of flint under the surface made it impossible for the early European settlers to plow the ground. As a result, the area has been used primarily for cattle ranching and has remained essentially as it was when Europeans first arrived. Located just west of Emporia, Chase County lies right in the middle of the tallgrass prairie and in 1996, the 10,894-acre Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve was established there. Each year Symphony in Fint Hills is located on a different site to minimize impact on the prairie landscape. Although the tents are set up starting a couple of weeks before the event, they all disappear the week following the one-day event. The gates open at noon, and the event includes the symphony concert and a dance that lasts until 11 p.m. Tickets are limited to 5,000, and every year has been a sellout. So far, efforts to minimize the impact seem to be working. “I’ve been at last year’s site,” Davis says. “It’s getting to the point that you can’t tell we were there.” Each year’s event has a theme; for 2016 it’s “The Future of the Flint Hills.” There will be five tents to house talks and presentations around the theme, with topics ranging from the history of the region to “Flint Hill Barns,” “Invasive Species” and “Protecting Our Land.” Aram Demirjian, the Kansas City Symphony’s associate conductor who will lead the evening’s performance, will talk about “The Future of Classical Music”(4 p.m. in the Purple Cornflower Tent). “The way people consume art and entertainment is changing, and we all need to adapt,” he says, providing a brief preview of his talk. Demirjian is making his fourth, and final, appearance conducting at Symphony in the Flint Hills. “It’s a truly unique event in America,” he says. “There’s just horizon for 360 degrees, so we really turn nature into our concert hall. It’s an elegant fusion of art and nature and people. You have a lot of regular symphony goers, and then you have a lot of people for whom it’s about this event, and this might be the only orchestra concert they come to all year. But it is one of our most enthusiastic audiences.” But what, you ask, will the orchestra play? “We don’t publish that in advance,” Davis says. “Every year it’s based on our theme. The Kansas City Symphony, the conductor and our music committee work together to identify music that ties to that theme, and they create a custom program every year.” How do they keep it a secret? “It’s a pretty tight group,” Davis says. “We do get a lot of calls, and people are surprised [not to find out the program].” Meanwhile, at the Kansas City Symphony, Demirjian is willing to give a tiny hint: “The program is going to be a really fun mix,” he says. “Music that you know and music that you’re going to be glad that you know once you’ve heard it.” 26 June 2, 2016

t’s a gray morning in Boulder — the fourth or fifth in a row — in mid May. It’s cold, but in a revitalizing way, everything dewsoaked green and blooming, colors vibrant against the overcast sky. There’s electricity in the air, a storm coming, maybe an adventure. Still, it’s cold. There’s a reprieve from the chill inside eTown’s basement recording studio, but the atmosphere feels no less charged as four musicians launch into their first take of Erik Satie’s “Gnossienne No. 3.” Leading the quartet is Boulder’s banjo Renaissance man Jake Schepps, playing a 1929 National plectrum guitar — tuned like a banjo, of course. With him are three of Boulder’s bluegrass wunderkinds: fiddler Justin Hoffenberg of Long Road Home, also making an instrumental departure on a 1928 National tenor guitar; Andy Hall of the Infamous Stringdusters on a 1937 resophonic guitar (also known as a dobro); and local bass legend Eric Thorin of the Matt Flinner Trio on the upright. The hundred-year-old piece they are playing is, as a work of the infamously peculiar Satie, haunting and minimalist, with a melody every bit as beguiling as the French composer’s famous “Gymnopédie No. 1.” Yet the minor chords of “Gnossienne No. 3” suggest something far more foreboding. “Those chords have a pirate-shipon-the-foggy-ocean vibe,” Hall remarks
as the group makes its way into the sound booth for a listen of the Jake Schepps with the Matt Flinner Trio: Eric Thorin, Ross Martin and Matt Flinner. first take.

‘Hockney’ takes a look inside the mind of a painter by Michael J. Casey ter, not zero in on it. An impressive attitude to take, but not one commonly found. As artists — and people in general — grow older, they tend to shrink the world around them, zeroing in on a few select people and ideas that, to them, is enough. Not for Hockney. He craves more. More people, more ideas, more life, more color. Thankfully, Hockney has the luxury of artistic profit. One of his friends points out that Hockney knows full well that the second he puts his name on a painting it sells. However, Hockney does not want to become a machine for producing items of monetary value, but of artistic merit. This has led him to keep pushing his art and to adapt modern technology, such as the iPhone and an iPad, to create particular works of art, even within their tiny frames, and for very select audiences.

Yet, the art is only one component of Hockney, which is comprised greatly of archival home videos of the artist and his friends. The cameras were always rolling as Hockney travels from England to New York to Los Angeles — the city he resides in and adores. His life, his work and his many ideas are documented and preserved for future generations needing idiosyncratic perspectives of the world around them. Hockney is a work of artistic portraiture, one that is as refreshing and enjoyable as a spring breeze. If anything, the documentary provides a comforting thought: somewhere in Los Angeles, David Hockney is enjoying his life in a candy-colored dream house. The pool is clean, the air is clear and inside his mind, he is piecing it all together. The artist is hard at work.

Debuting her first professionally recorded album, Spirits, local musician Beth Preston will perform at the Fox, joined by We Dream Dawn, Paul Kimbiris and Bridget Law of Elephant Revival. With a lilting voice and soft, methodical guitar strumming, the singersongwriter creates a coffeehouse sound with a pop country bent. Pared down to a simple, humble project, Preston’s Spirits is mesmeric and lyrical — a work that completely avoids the complicated or overbearing musicianship to which so many current bands fall victim. — Mariah Taylor

Hailing from Louisville, Kentucky, Nick Dittmeier and his backing band, the Sawdusters, are a staple of the Midwest Americana music scene. Their folk-rock sound has been likened to bands such as the Turnpike Troubadours and The Band, with a lax yet knowledgeable grip on their music. Promoting their latest album, Midwest Heart/Southern Blues, the group is touring across the country singing songs about the ups and downs of travelling and youth. The flannel-clad four piece will hit Lazy Dog for some beginning-of-the-week guitar strumming. — Mariah Taylor

film Lust at 6,000 feet
The overt sensuality of ‘Black Narcissus’ by Michael J. Casey
ON THE BILL: Black Narcissus. Landmark Theatres Chez Artiste, 2800 S. Colorado Blvd., Denver, 303-733-0148, landmarktheatres.com. Tickets start at $8.50.
Black Narcissus (1947) is another example of Michael Powel and Emric Pressburger’s — known as The Archers — superb cinematic repertoire.
M
ovies aren’t reality. They’re visual expressions of an emotional experience. The best filmmakers have known this all along, but it’s worth bringing up, as many seem to forget this crucial caveat. For too many, movies must present, literally, the source material, the experience and the characters authentically. But some stories are best told in a roundabout manner, and they require an inventive mind to bring them to fruition. For these instances, we have the imaginative and emotional works of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger — known collectively as The Archers — and their sensually wrought masterpiece, Black Narcissus. Released in 1947 and based on the 1939 novel of the same name by Rumer Godden, Black Narcissus is set in the Palace of Mopu, located high in the Himalayan Mountains, near Darjeeling, India. There, a convent of Anglican nuns — led by Sister Superior Clodagh (Deborah Kerr) — try to turn an ancient brothel into a place of worship and education. Clodagh’s higher-up is skeptical that she will be able to accomplish much, and an old caretaker (May Hallatt) warns that the spirits of the palace will not submit to the sister’s will. The Old General (Sir Esmond Knight) isn’t too worried, but then again, he has seen many come and go through this palace. What’s the harm in another attempt? But the palace will not submit. The harem who previously lived there generously adorned the walls with pornographic images — images that awaken and stir emotions deep within the young convent. This is most evident in Sister Ruth (Kathleen Byron), a young nun full of life and passion. Real trouble enters when the local British colonist, Mr. Dean (David Farrar), shows up. His matinee-idol good looks, his square jaw and burly chest would be difficult for any woman to resist. For Sister Clodagh and Sister Ruth, they stir up a past not long forgotten and not in the least bit fully repressed. Black Narcissus isn’t quite a bodice ripper, but it’s close. Looking back in his autobiography, A Life in Movies, Powell wrote: “It is the most erotic film that I have ever made. It is all done by suggestion, but eroticism is in every frame and image, from beginning to end.” Powell and Pressburger achieved this through a tightly controlled production — not of location, but of imagination. Though set in India, not one frame of Black Narcissus was exposed outside of England. Indeed, the movie — save for one or two shots taken at a nearby botanical garden — was filmed at Pinewood Studios with matte paintings and backdrops supplying the scenery and giant fans providing Mopu’s ever-present wind. With no outside elements to contend with and beholden to no reality, Powell and Pressburger — and their collection of technical mavens — exercised complete and precise control of the entire production. They build their story quickly and economically, watching as these nuns buckle under the surmounting pressure until, in one of the cinema’s greatest climaxes, Sister Clodagh and Sister Ruth give in. It’s pure emotion and it’s a directing tour de force, one that life-long admirer Martin Scorsese describes as, “A cross between Disney and a horror film.” In other words: Black Narcissus is an Archers’ film. And it’s perfect. Boulder Weekly

Roots to root for by Yvona Fast
L
ike parsnips, sunchokes keep in the frozen ground through the winter and be dug up in spring. Also known as Jerusalem artichokes, they have nothing to do with either Jerusalem or the thorny
artichoke. A native American plant, the tubers were used for food by American Indian hunter and gatherer societies. They were introduced to Europe by the French explorer Samuel de Champlain, who found them growing in 1605 among the Abenaki tribe on Cape Cod. They quickly made their way to France, and by 1609 were mentioned in Histoire de la Nouvelle France. There, they became known as topinambours, the French word for tuber. They made their way to Italy, and the Italian name, girasol, which means following the sun, became corrupted in English as Jerusalem. These delightful plants quickly traveled across Europe, and are listed as “Artichocks of Jerusalem” in a 1620 edition of the Oxford English Dictionary. However, they did not become as popular as the potato or tomato, perhaps because John Goodyer, an early horticulturalist, described them as “a meat more fit for swine, than men” as they can cause flatulence for some. An old wives’ tale that linked the bulbous tubers to leprosy because they resembled deformed fingers also contributed to the disfavor of the sunchoke. A few years back, a friend gave us some tuberous roots of this cheerful yellow flower to plant in our yard. Today we have several clumps, and only disturb each every few years, giving them time to reproduce underground so we can enjoy the bright yellow flowers in the summertime. They can be dug up as soon as the ground opens in spring, or in late fall before the ground freezes. We harvest an 8-quart basket of tubers from each patch, being careful to leave some in the ground for future growth.
Helianthus tuberosus is a native American sunflower, a hardy perennial that prefers cool climates and grows well in our poor mountain soil. In fact, the Virginia Tech weed identification guide calls it “a weed of pastures, hayfields, and roadsides.” But this weed that stores the sun’s summer rays in its luscious roots is beautiful, nutritious and tasty. Today, this delicious, healthy vegetable is experiencing a comeback. Home gardeners find it easy to grow and enjoy the blossoms as well as the crisp, yummy tubers. Low in calories and sodium, fat and cholesterol free, sunchokes are recommended for those with Type 2 diabetes because they contain inulin, a carbohydrate that breaks down slowly into fructose rather than glucose, and thus does not cause blood sugar to rise rapidly as do potatoes, rice or pasta. Inulin also promotes intestinal lactobacilli, probiotic bacteria that aid digestion and help with absorption of calcium and magnesium. One serving of sunchokes contains more iron than a hamburger. They’re also high in potassium, vitamin C and thiamin, and contain phosphorus, magnesium, niacin, vitamin B6 and riboflavin. At the market, look for sunchokes that are firm, moist and smooth, without sprouting, green spots or blotches. Often, they will come wrapped in cellophane, so they may be hard to inspect. Store them in the refrigerator, wrapped to prevent moisture loss. To prepare, scrub clean with a vegetable brush. You can cut them into crudits to eat with dip, or julienne for a salad. They’re delicious roasted, and can also be baked, steamed, stir-fried or cooked in the microwave. They pair well with nuts, other root vegetables like carrots, parsnips or sweet potatoes, and herbs like sage, marjoram, parsley, basil and garlic. They’re great added to salads of all types: green salads, slaws, fruit salads, pasta, rice or potato salads, or even chicken, turkey or ham salad.
Roasted Sunchokes
8 ounces Jerusalem artichokes (also called sunchokes), scrubbed 1 Tablespoon extra-virginolive oil salt and pepper 1 Tablespoon butter Preheat oven to 425 F. Cut Jerusalem artichokes into 1/2inch cubes. Place in medium bowl. Add oil and toss. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Transfer to rimmed baking sheet. Dot with butter. Roast until tender and golden brown, turning occasionally, about 25 minutes. These make a great hors d’ ouvre as is. They’re also great on top of a salad of tossed greens or stirred into cooked pasta or grains and seasoned with herbs. You can also add other root vegetables, like beets or carrots.
Sunchoke Carrot Casserole
Ingredients: 1 Tablespoon butter or olive oil 1 large onion (about 2 cups, diced) 1 teaspoon salt, divided 2 eggs 2 cups cottage cheese 1/4 cup grated sharp cheese, divided 1/2 pound sunchokes (about 2 cups shredded) 1-2 teaspoons lemon juice (or lime juice, or vinegar) 1 medium carrot (about 1 cup shredded) 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley 1 cup diced ham, optional 1 cup broccoli florets
Directions:
In small skillet, melt butter or heat oil; peel and dice the onion; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt; cover and cook slowly over low heat 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Prepare 2 quart casserole dish by spraying with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In bowl, beat eggs with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Beat in cottage cheese and 3 Tablespoons sharp cheese (reserve 1 Tablespoon for topping). Set aside. Grate the sunchokes into a bowl; you want about 2 cups. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon lemon juice (to prevent browning). Place half in the bottom of the prepared casserole dish, and set the rest aside. Top sunchokes with half of the onions, sprinkle with half the parsley, and half of the ham, if using. Top with half of the cheese mixture. Now layer the carrots, then the rest of the onions, the rest of the parsley and optional ham, and the rest of the cheese mixture. Top with remaining sunchokes. Arrange broccoli florets on the top, sprinkle with reserved Tablespoon of grated cheese, and bake 45-50 minutes. Let cool about five minutes before serving to avoid burning your mouth on the hot cheese.

Deviled Ham Dip and Mork’s chopped liver hint at Boulder’s true food history
B
uttermilk Candy. Orange-Pineapple Congealed Salad. Potato Chip Cookies. Unpretentious recipes for everyday and special occasion dishes like these fill the pages of one of my favorite Boulder community collections, Chautauqua Porches: A Centennial Cookbook published at Chautauqua Park’s 100th anniversary in 1998. You can see Boulder’s food culture slowly evolve among the recipes contributed mainly by the families who lived in the cottages in Chautauqua Park both seasonally and year-round. Classics such as Rhubarb Custard Pie, Sausage Balls and Deviled Ham Dip are interspersed with modern faves from Nicoise Salad and Rae Wining’s Malayan Sate to Chautauqua Dining Hall’s Lemon Pecan Scones. Since many of the original cottage people came from Texas, TexMex dishes abound in the cookbook including innumerable variations on a casserole theme including historic recipes from the first cottage collection, 1968’s Chautauqua Cookery like Green Chilies Pie from Genie Graham Warren: “Line pie pan with (roasted, peeled, seeded) green chilies. Cut Monterrey Jack cheese in slices to cover the chilies. Beat 4 eggs, pour over chilies and bake 45 minutes in moderate oven. Serve hot.” You can still find copies of Chautauqua Porches available online.

drink Celebrating balance in Pinot Noir By David White
I
f a Pinot Noir is overwhelmed with fruit — or, indeed, by any element, like oak, fruit extraction, fruit ripeness or alcohol — you’re going to lessen the possibility that the wine can express essential place. And for me, Pinot Noir is all about essential place.” If any grape demands contemplation, it’s Pinot Noir. The great ones translate time and place, clearly expressing the characteristics of their vintage and the soils and climate in which they’re grown. So I wasn’t surprised to hear these words from Jasmine Hirsch, as her father, David, planted what is considered one of America’s top Pinot Noir vineyards nearly 35 years ago. We were chatting about an annual wine event she launched with Rajat Parr, a celebrity sommelier, in 2011. Dubbed “In Pursuit of Balance,” it applauds the California winemakers who eschew ripeness and power in favor of restraint and elegance. The event has helped counteract the notion that California only makes fruit bombs. And it’s brought attention to some of California’s top Pinot Noir producers. In Pursuit of Balance traces its roots to 2008, when Hirsch entered the wine industry by taking over sales and marketing for her family’s winery. At the time, she was living in New York and had fallen in love with Pinot Noir, so it made sense to join the family business. But the wines that stole her heart came from Burgundy. She was continuously “blown away by what they were able to achieve” in France. When she started working for her family, she began drinking more California Pinot Noir. Too often, she didn’t enjoy the wines. They were, quite simply, too big. In ripeness, alcohol and oak, they lacked the subtlety and poise she’d grown to love in Burgundy. Around that same time, Hirsch developed a friendship with Rajat Parr, the wine director for the Mina Group, a restaurant management company with a global reputation for its wine program. Parr was known for his obsession with Pinot Noir, so Hirsch asked him why California couldn’t produce more elegant wines. Parr showed Hirsch that the state could. Indeed, a handful of producers had Boulder Weekly
been making Pinot Noir that achieved the grape’s higher purpose — translating both time and place —for decades. The two friends soon hashed out a plan for a formal tasting for sommeliers, journalists and eager consumers. The first brought together nearly 25 California producers and generated tremendous buzz. At that time, Hirsch said, “California was facing an identity crisis.” Most oenophiles believed what Hirsch thought just a few years prior: that California wines were over the top. Parr and Hirsch sought to debunk this notion. The wines they showcased weren’t always popular. Then, as now, the bestknown critics gave their highest ratings to ripe, powerfully concentrated wines. While this praise is certainly defensible, such wines were the antithesis of what Parr and Hirsch looked for in Pinot Noir. Naturally, the event stirred controversy. By presenting a limited number of producers, Hirsch and Parr created an exclusionary event. Plus, the word “balance” — which refers to fruit, acidity, structure and alcohol coexisting harmoniously, with no single element dominating — is a lightning rod. Last year, Wine Spectator’s Harvey Steiman proclaimed that he “[resented] the implication that richer, more full-bodied wines can’t be balanced.” Hirsch and Parr acknowledge these criticisms. Today, wineries that hope to join their tasting must first pass muster with a panel of judges who taste blind. And Hirsch admits that the event might have been misnamed. For my palate, the wines that Hirsch and Parr have chosen to celebrate are among America’s most exciting and delicious. Producers like Copain, Littorai and Peay make precise, focused wines that are full of charm. The wines from Hirsch’s own property and Rajat Parr’s two labels, Sandhi and Domaine de la Côte, are similarly stunning. Pinot Noir is one of viticulture’s most fickle grapes. It’s challenging and expensive to grow. By bringing attention to the California wineries that work hard to achieve Pinot Noir’s higher purpose, Hirsch and Parr deserve everyone’s praise.

ARIES
MARCH 21-APRIL 19:
The voices in our heads are our constant companions. They fill our inner sanctuary with streams of manic commentary. Often we’re not fully cognizant of the bedlam, since the outer world dominates our focus. But as soon as we close our eyes and turn our attention inward, we’re immersed in the jabbering babble. That’s the bad news, Aries. Now here’s the good news. In the coming weeks you will have far more power than usual to ignore, dodge or even tamp down the jabbering babble. As a result, you may get a chance to spend unprecedented amounts of quality time with the still, small voice at your core — the wise guide that is often drowned out by all the noise.
TAURUS
APRIL 20-MAY 20: We are inclined to believe that the best
way to see the whole picture or the complete story is from above. The eagle that soars overhead can survey a vast terrain in one long gaze. The mountaintop perspective affords a sweeping look at a vast landscape. But sometimes this perspective isn’t perfectly useful. What we most need to see may be right next to us, or nearby, and it’s only visible if our vision is narrowly focused. Here’s how poet Charles Bernstein expresses it: “What’s missing from the bird’s eye view is plain to see on the ground.” Use this clue in the coming weeks.
GEMINI
MAY 21-JUNE 20:
I foresee fertile chaos in your immediate future, Gemini. I predict lucky accidents and smoldering lucidity and disciplined spontaneity. Do you catch the spirit of what I’m suggesting? Your experiences will not be describable by tidy theories. Your intentions will not fit into neat categories. You will be a vivid embodiment of sweet paradoxes and crazy wisdom and confusing clarity. Simple souls may try to tone you down, but I hope you will evade their pressure as you explore the elegant contradictions you encounter. Love your life exactly as it is! Methodical improvisations will be your specialty. Giving gifts that are both selfish and unselfish will be one of your best tricks. “Healing extremes” will be your code phrase of power.
CANCER
JUNE 21-JULY 22:
According to many sources on the internet, “werifesteria” is an obscure word from Old English. But my research suggests it was in fact dreamed up within the last few years by a playful hoaxster. Regardless of its origins, I think it’s an apt prescription to fix what’s bugging you. Here’s the definition: “to wander longingly through the forest in search of mystery and adventure.” If you are not currently seeking out at least a metaphorical version of that state, I think you should be. Now is an excellent time to reap the catalytic benefits of being willingly lost in a wild, idyllic, relaxing setting.
LEO
JULY 23-AUG. 22: I’m debating about which of your astro-
logical houses will be your featured hotspot in the coming days. I’m guessing it will come down to two options: your House of Valid Greed and your House of Obligatory Sharing. The House of Valid Greed has a good chance to predominate, with its lush feasts and its expansive moods. But the House of Obligatory Sharing has an austere beauty that makes it a strong possibility, as well. Now here’s the trick ending, Leo: I’d like to see if you can emphasize both houses equally; I hope you’ll try to inhabit them both at the same time. Together they will grant you a power that neither could bestow alone.
VIRGO
AUG. 23-SEPT. 22:
Between now and July 25, there’s a chance you will reach the peak of a seemingly unclimbable mountain. You could win a privilege that neither you nor anyone else ever dreamed was within your reach. It’s possible you’ll achieve a milestone you’ve been secretly preparing for since childhood. Think I’m exaggerating, Virgo? I’m not. You could break a record for the biggest or best or fastest, or you might finally sneak past an obstacle that has cast a shadow over your self-image for years. And even if none of these exact events comes to pass, the odds are excellent that you will accomplish another unlikely or monumental feat. Congratulations in advance!
SCORPIO
OCT. 23-NOV. 21:
Author Rebecca Solnit offers some tough advice that I think you could use. “Pain serves a purpose,” she says. “Without it you are in danger. What you cannot feel you cannot take care of.” With that in mind, Scorpio, I urge you to take full advantage of the suffering you’re experiencing. Treat it as a gift that will motivate you to transform the situation that’s causing you to hurt. Honor it as a blessing you can use to rise above the mediocre or abusive circumstances you have been tolerating.
SAGITTARIUS NOV. 22-DEC. 21:
Aphorist James Guida contemplates the good results that can come from not imposing expectations on the raw reality that’s on its way. “Not to count chickens before they’re hatched,” he muses, “or eggs before they’re laid, chickens who might possibly lay eggs, birds who from afar might be confused with chickens.” I recommend this strategy for you in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. Experiment with the pleasure of being wide open to surprises. Cultivate a mood of welcoming one-of-a-kind people, things and events. Be so empty you have
ample room to accommodate an influx of new dispensations. As James Guida concludes: “Not to count or think of chickens.”
CAPRICORN
DEC. 22-JAN. 19:
“No gift is ever exactly right for me,” mourns Capricorn poet James Richardson. Don’t you dare be like him in the coming days. Do whatever you must to ensure that you receive at least one gift that’s exactly right for you. Two gifts would be better; three sublime. Here’s another thought from Richardson: “Success repeats itself until it is a failure.” Don’t you dare illustrate that theory. Either instigate changes in the way you’ve been achieving success, or else initiate an entirely new way. Here’s one more tip from Richardson: “Those who demand consideration for their sacrifices were making investments, not sacrifices.” Don’t you dare be guilty of that sin. Make sacrifices, not investments. If you do, your sacrifices will ultimately turn out to be good investments.
AQUARIUS
JAN. 20-FEB. 18: Life will invite you to explore the arche-
type of the Helpful Transgressor may tempt you, as well, and even the Congenial Meddler or the Compassionate Trickster might look appealing. I urge you to consider experimenting with all of these. It will probably be both fun and productive to break taboos in friendly ways. You could reconnoiter forbidden areas without freaking anyone out or causing a troublesome ruckus. If you’re sufficiently polite and kind in expressing your subversive intentions, you might leave a trail of good deeds in your wake.
PISCES
FEB. 19-MARCH 20: Your theme comes from the title of a poem by Fortesa Latifi: “I Am Still Learning How to Do the Easy Things.” During the next phase of your astrological cycle, I invite you to specialize in this study. You may imagine that you are already a master of the simple, obvious arts of life, but here’s the news: Few of us are. And the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to refine your practice. Here’s a good place to start: Eat when you’re hungry, sleep when you’re tired and give love when you’re lonely.

SEPT. 23-OCT. 22: “My mother gave birth to me once, yeah
yeah yeah,” writes author Sara Levine. “But I’ve redone myself a million times.” I’m sure she is not demeaning her mom’s hard work, but rather celebrating her own. When’s the last time you gave birth to a fresh version of yourself? From where I stand, it looks like the next 12 to 15 months will be one of those fertile phases of reinvention. And right now is an excellent time to get a lightning-flash glimpse of what the New You might look like.

Dear Dan: If I first met someone on a hookup site or at a sex party and then we start seeing each other, what’s the best way to explain how we met when we’re at a social event and people ask? — Torrid Revelations Undermining Totally Honesty Dear TRUTH: The truth is always nice — and in your case, TRUTH, telling the truth about your relationship could be constructive. There are a lot of people out there in loving committed relationships (LCR) that had crazy © LaRae Lobdell sleazy starts (CSS). But very few people in a LCR with a CSS tell the truth when asked how they met. A couple who met at a sex party will say they met at a dinner party; a couple that met inside a cage in a sex dungeon will say they met doing a team-building exercise at a work retreat; a couple that met during an impulsive, drunken threesome will say they met at a riotous protest outside a Trump rally. These lies are understandable: People don’t want to be judged or shamed. But when a CSS couple lies
Boulder Weekly
SAVAGE by Dan Savage
about how they met, TRUTH, they reinforce the very shame and stigma that made them feel like they had to lie in the first place. And they play into the sex-negative, self-defeating and super-hypocritical assumption made by singles who attend sex parties, spend time in cages and have impulsive threesomes — these single people who do sleazy things often refuse to date the people they meet at sex parties, etc., because they believe no LCR ever had a CSS. If couples that had sleazy starts told the truth about themselves, single people would be less likely to rule out dating people they met sleazily. Dear Dan: I despised your advice to LIBIDOS, the poly married woman who you counseled to have sex with her husband even though she has zero desire to do so. You came close to telling her to throw
Love
away her consent. Somewhere between a third and half of women have been sexually assaulted. Would it be possible for most of them to suck it up and sleep with someone they had no desire for without ending up resenting or hating that person? Even if LIBIDOS won life’s coin toss on sexual assault, she would most likely come to resent her husband if she had passionless sex with him. From the husband’s perspective — assuming he’s not a piece of shit who thinks he’s entitled to sex but rather just wants a sexual connection with his wife — wouldn’t being lied to in this way ruin him? I also don’t think you would’ve given this advice to a gay man — to let his husband fuck him in the ass, even if he didn’t want to get fucked. The truth is really the only solution here. The road you set this woman down leads only to bitterness and divorce. — Seriously Horrified About That Dear SHAT: LIBIDOS, a poly woman with a boyfriend (who she’s fucking) and a husband (who no one is fucking), asked me if she should
“force” herself to fuck her husband. She also mentioned having a kid and not wanting to get divorced. And it was my opinion — an opinion she sought out — that she might wanna fuck her husband once in a while. Advice isn’t binding arbitration, SHAT, and if fucking her husband is a traumatizing ordeal, as opposed to a dispiriting chore, she should ignore my advice and keep not fucking her husband. And seeing as LIBIDOS asked me if she should fuck her husband, it seemed safe to assume that she was open to the idea. You weren’t the only reader to take me to task for my advice to LIBIDOS. Apparently, there are lots of people out there who don’t realize how many long-marrieds — men and women, gay and straight, poly and mono — fuck their spouses out of a grim sense of duty. It seems a bit extreme to describe that kind of sex as a consent-free/sexual-assault-adjacent trauma. Choosing in the absence of coercion to go through the marital motions to keep your spouse happy is rarely great sex — for either party — but slapping the nonconsensual label on joyless-but-trauma-free marital sex is neither helpful nor accurate.

Getting schooled by Charlo Greene
I
wanted to talk to Charlo Greene, a business woman and reporter who gained notoriety after she quit her job on-air while covering a story on the Alaska Cannabis Club, a medical marijuana organization in Alaska. Since that moment, Greene has lived in the public spotlight, building a career for herself while also striving to increase diversity in the growing marijuana industry. I wanted to talk to her because the more I learned about cannabis, the more I wondered about diversity. It seemed to me that a big Screenshot and important part of successful legalization arguments centers on the racial bias in law enforcement that leads to the mass incarceration of minorities, especially blacks, with huge human and economic costs. And yet, three years into legalization in Colorado, progress in criminal justice reform is minimal. There is no movement in expunging records for charges that would now be legal, little talk of reparations for communities adversely affected by the war on drugs, racial disparities in arrest rates for marijuana persist and the nowlegal industry is overwhelmingly run by whites, while those with criminal records are often not eligible to own or work in cannabis businesses. I wondered why no one was talking about race and drugs anymore, why the narrative that was once so compelling to advocates and public officials had fallen silent. Silent, except for a few, vocal black women in the industry, namely Wanda James of Denver and Charlo Greene. So when I finally got a chance to talk to Greene a few months ago, I was immediately impressed by her vehemence and fearlessness. In comparison, I felt sheepish, suddenly aware that while I recognized there was a problem, I was far from understanding its severity and depth. Feebly, I asked Greene to “help me understand the
race problem and what to do about it.” “Are you talking about the fact that cannabis prohibition is racist to begin with?” Greene asks. “Because that’s the root of it. If we are gonna talk about it and keep it real then let’s talk about the history of marijuana prohibition. It is racist ... we’ve never really been welcome here as a people and now mass incarceration is just another way to maintain this status quo that’s always been in place in the United States.“
the “race problem” is quickly dissipating. This is a human problem that reaches far into the infrastructure of the society we all share. The drug war is about keeping money in the hands of a few, keeping entire populations locked in the vicious cycle of drug addiction and incarceration, and justifying a militant presence in neighborhoods around the country and the world. One need only follow the money to see who is in support of continued prohibition and why. A recent report from The Intercept by Lee Fang found that “roughly half of the money Reporter, turned raised to oppose a ballot measure to legalactivist, Charlo Greene talks about ize recreational marijuana in California is race and drugs. coming from police and prison guard groups, terrified that they might lose the revenue streams to which they have become so deeply addicted.” Greene and I talked about California’s war on drugs specifically. She teared up talking about the scenes in Straight Outta Compton depicting police violence in black neighborhoods. “That’s how they were fighting the war on marijuana, the war on weed, the war on drugs in black communities,” Greene says. “It looks like a war zone, There is a new wave of consensus that this is the half a world away and no one gives a shit about that, case, and, since talking to Greene, I have spoken to that was just a snippet. Now that there are white children who can be helped if we possibly stop lockvarious experts who agree that the drug war is creating a human rights crisis, domestically and internaing up some black people, I guess we are gonna talk about it.” tionally, Greene isn’t going to let us forget that this is, at There is also no shortage of current literature to its core, a social justice issue. She is a vocal activist, back these claims, two of the best books I’ve read on tireless entrepreneur and is working to start Go the topic are The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration Greene, a nonprofit that seeks to end prohibition by in the Age of Colorblindness by Michelle Alexander applying a networking model to communities of and Black Silent Majority: The Rockefeller Drug Laws color, to encourage them to lead the end of prohibiand Politics of Punishment by Michael Javen Fortner, both of which paint a picture of the social and politi- tion and seize the economic opportunities offered by cal mechanisms that drive drug policies and ought to the lucrative emerging industry.

The splif passes to The Invisible Hand
T
he Idea Fairy and I had just taken the brownies out of the oven when there was a thunderous pounding on the door that shook the whole house. “Eeeeek, a raid!” she shrieked, and darted behind a computer. “Come in,” I said shakily from behind the couch. “The door’s unlocked.” The door flew open, and out of the purple haze stepped a guy dressed up kinda like Ben Franklin with a dozen college students in tow. It was Adam Smith. “Adam, what brings you down to Baghdad by the Rockies and who are your pals?” I asked. “And why did you try to knock down my door?” “I’m in town to teach a summer seminar in economics, which my young companions signed up to take,” he said. “And it wasn’t me pounding on your door. It was The Invisible Hand.” “The Invisible Hand,” I said incredulously. “I thought he was a metaphor.” “So did I,” he said. “But just when I started invoking him a great pillar of purple smoke formed and started moving directly toward your place, so we tagged along. When we got here a ghostly hand emerged from it and started banging on the door. “I have no idea why,” he finished. “Well I was about to write a column on marijuana prices,” I said. “Ah ha! That explains it,” he exclaimed. “Please tell us what you’ve found out!” “Well, I noticed that in the last few months the price of pot seems to have come down a lot,” I said. “Off hand I’d say it has dropped 50 or 60 percent since the first dispensaries opened on New Year’s Day in 2014. Back then the average price for an eighth of an ounce was $65, and shops weren’t offering discounts on higher quantities, so a full
ounce would set you back $520.” “A simple matter of supply and demand,” Smith explained. “Exactly,” I said. “On opening day in 2014, legal recreational pot was in short supply — it was all repurposed medical pot because the state hadn’t allowed the recreational dispensaries to start growing before L-Day — and suddenly a whole new market potentially several times larger than the medical market opened up. So the price was high and stayed high until the first harvests of legal rec-
reational pot came in.” “And today?” he prompted me. “Prices vary a lot,” I said. “But if you shop around you can find shops putting eighths on sale for as low as $25. Some places are still asking $60 an eighth for primo weed, but everyday prices are more like $35 or $45. And nearly everyone is offering discounts for larger quantities.” “How much?” one of the students asked. “You could get an ounce of selected strains for $200 to $225 in a number of shops,” I said. “I think the lowest sale price I saw last week for recreational pot was a strain going for $25 an eighth and $175 an ounce. You can find even better bargains on the medical side if you have a card.” “Does that mean the pot market is offering ‘loss leaders,’ like supermarkets?” one of the students asked. Smith shook his head. “Probably not,” he said. “It’s unlikely anyone is losing money by putting pot on sale. But the profit margin goes down on it. On the other hand, when price goes down demand goes up. “The important point is the stores are starting to compete on price, which means there are abundant supplies available — as every square foot of available warehouse space in Colorado is turned into a grow,” he finished. “Still, $175 for an ounce of pot seems like a lot of money,” one of the students said. “I thought so too,” I said, “until I ran the price through an inflation checker. $175 today is roughly the equivalent of $44 in 1977 dollars. In 1977 marijuana was being brought in from Colombia by the boatload, and ounces were selling in Boulder for $40. So you might say legalization has rolled back prices to what they were when Jimmy Carter was president.”

KATIE COURIC YOU NAUGHTY JOURNO
Is it really that hard to say, “Oops, I edited my movie to make the people I don’t agree with look too stupid to answer my questions even though in real life they answered them just fine.” Apparently so if you are a famous newsreader ... errr, we mean journalist like Katie Couric. So if you haven’t heard, Couric made a movie called Under the Gun, a doc about gun violence. The film shows her asking members of the Virginia Citizens Defense League, a group of... let’s just call them “enthusiastic supporters of the Second Amendment,” a question about background checks. The film then shows them staring at each other like a heard of tranquilized big-foot hunters for a full eight seconds unable to answer the super-journalist’s awesome question. Unfortunately for Couric and all journalists everywhere whose credibility takes a hit every time some TV personality like Couric stretches the truth for ratings, page views or the box office of her own movie, it simply wasn’t true. Turns out the gun loving folks had actually answered Couric’s question immediately and that the film had been edited to give the false impression they were stumped, or as Couric described it in her lacking apology, the eight seconds was put in so the audience had time to ponder the importance of her question. The real downside of this truth and honesty stuff is now we have to rethink Couric’s whole career. For instance, what if Sarah Palin’s not really that stupid, just edited to look like a complete illiterate moron? Do we even really know whose back door that probe was going up when Katie taught us all about preemptive medicine by letting us supposedly watch her bowels being probed? What is real? We just don’t know anymore. Thanks for nothing Katie.
NORTH KOREA GETS IT HALF RIGHT
State media in North Korea has officially jumped into the U.S. presidential race by telling its captive audience, “the president that U.S. citizens must vote for is not Wikimedia Commons/Open Sports that dull Hillary.” The report then goes on to add that Donald Trump is a “wise” and “farsighted presidential candidate.” Well, they got it half right. Admit it, she’s dull as an old jelly jar that’s been bashed around in dirty sink water for two decades. But there are worse things than being called “dull” by North Koreans. How awful do you have to be to get the political stamp of approval from a nut-job leader whose only concept of our country comes via his best pal Dennis Rodman? Wait a minute. A Trump/Rodman ticket actually has a certain, shall we say, “symmetry.” Maybe those North Koreans are onto something.
