Danish’s modest proposal (Re: “A modest proposal for the budget impasse,” Danish Plan, June 14.) Again Paul Danish is clinging to his Soldier of Fortune roots, aka the promulgation of the military-industrial complex and the ever-increasing privatization of war, in his omission of our promotion and expenditures of foreign conflict and occupation as part of our current economic woes. Interesting how many corporations are riding on the coattails of predator drones and dead soldiers into once sovereign nations.

Kudos, though, for wanting the end of the Bush tax cuts, but why no mention of trade policy and American companies taking investments offshore?

Nation building, after all, begins at home.

I am convinced that going municipal will benefit residents and businesses within Boulder by offering cleaner energy at competitive rates. It makes sense for the city to run it by and for our local residents rather than for profit and to benefit shareholders. The city has already shown its ability to run major utilities by successfully running municipal water and sewer service.

oldman Sachs is making news again, though it’s doing its damnedest to keep it quiet and to suppress any outbreak of political outrage from either the public or Washington.

Goldman keeps striving to give greed a bad name. It was a major player in designing the taxpayer bailout of Wall Street, getting $10 billion for itself and untold billions more in backdoor subsidies from the Federal Reserve. You might recall that the public rationale for this governmental rescue of private banks was that they would then have the capital to invest in job-creating enterprises. However, they took the money and ran, leaving America’s workaday families mired in a jobless swamp with no relief in sight.

Meanwhile, Goldman quickly returned to paying outlandish, multimillion-dollar bonuses to its top mucky-mucks.

Boulder has many highly educated people who could benefit from the local jobs that creating a local municipal power authority would create. Local businesses could benefit by city-sponsored programs that might advise them on possible energy savings.

Homeowners might contribute and benefit by feed-in tariffs for the energy they contribute to the grid via their rooftop solar panels.

Switching to municipal power appears to be a win-win situation for

The good ship Goldman sets sail for Singapore

by Jim Hightower Now, to add insult and even more injury to the damage it has done to our economy, the banking giant has quietly informed about 1,000 of its U.S. employees that their jobs are being shifted to Singapore, where cheaper bank employees are available. This stiffing of America comes at a time when Goldman is piling up record profits, including $2.7 billion it raked in during just the first three months of this year. Perhaps the bank needs

extra money to pay bigger executive bonuses.

Goldman has, however, made one new American hire as part of its U.S. job retrenchment plan. Former Republican Sen. Judd Gregg has joined the Good Ship Goldman as an “international advisor.” With 26 years in Congress, Gregg can help steer the bank through any political tempest stirred up by Goldman’s latest act of greed. Presumably, he’ll be able to rally his old GOP colleagues in the Senate. After all, they voted unanimously last year to save a tax break that helps corporations shift American jobs overseas.

themes in the Harry Potter book series was excellent. They inspire readers to be brave and not afraid, to fight against evil and for what is right and good and to not blindly follow our leaders without question.

When parents have the opportunity to discuss these themes with their children, it would be a good opportunity to bring Joseph Campbell’s many worthwhile books about mythology and the heroic quest into the discussion. It is critically important to identify with heroes as part of our growth process.

Ronald Brown/Longmont I thoroughly enjoyed Ari Armstrong’s piece about the Harry Potter films and the lessons they have to teach us and our kids. We are quick as a society to disregard popular culture as serving the lowest common denominator. But there’s more to Harry Potter books than just entertainment.

Rethinking circumcision I would like to respond to Pamela White’s article “To cut or not to cut?”

(Uncensored, June 23) and to Craig Zalk’s letter in response (“Circumcision revisited,” letters, July 7).

First, I wish to thank Pamela for the courage to cover the subject accurately and honestly. If we believe in creation — by evolution or God makes no difference — then we must accept that men have foreskins for a reason. Removing them for cultural reasons may seem innocuous, but it denies the wisdom of creation and places doctors and culture above the creator.

However, in this day and age, we do

not like to admit we are wrong or have harmed others, or are incomplete ourselves, so honesty about such a sensitive matter is rare and a breath of fresh air.

In Mr. Zalk’s response, he should get his facts straight. In a recent study of 5,552 Danish men and women the very question of how circumcision may affect both the male and female experience was examined. Sadly, the study shows that male circumcision has negative impact on both men and women.

Circumcised men reported more frequent orgasm difficulties than intact men. Cut guys also had more partners over their life, perhaps looking for lost sensation. Premature ejaculation was also examined, and no difference was found between the two groups of men, so all those circumcisions in men’s sex clinics were for naught.

Mr. Zalk should also get the facts on women’s experience. This study confirmed the finding of a previous study published in the book Sex As Nature Intended It. Women with circumcised partners had greater frequency of unfulfilled sexual needs and sexual function difficulty. As with the previous study, orgasm difficulties and dyspareunia (pain during sex) were the most frequent complaint by partners of circumcised men and were statistically significant.

These findings should surprise no one since men and women evolved together and the two organs have been designed over thousands of years to work together most efficiently.

When doctors change the function of men, they impact women, too. So thank you, Pamela, for reminding us what our mother’s used to say: “If see LETTERS Page 9

way out of this recession? Well, there’s a lot more to their message than that.

Family Leader and Bachmann not only support “robust childbearing,” but also oppose the most effective forms of contraception. They are steadfast against a woman’s right to have an abortion. Other language in “The Marriage Vow” — about protecting women and children from “seduction into promiscuity, all forms of pornography and prostitution … abortion and other types of coercion or stolen innocence” — makes it clear that they view women as helpless innocents who can’t navigate the scary world of sexual and reproductive decisions without Big Daddy Government’s help. It’s a vision of womanhood that would have seemed naïve and patronizing even during the 1950s.

(It’s a fantastic marketing ploy to pretend that women don’t deliberately seek and want abortions. By pretending that women are preyed on by the “abortion industry,” it prevents the anti-abortion movement from seeming anti-woman and creates a victim role for women who regret their choice — and want someone to blame. But I digress.)

Put the pieces together, and what emerges is a frightening attempt to turn back the clock on half the human race.

By advocating for the elimination of both hormonal contraception and abortion, while at the same time framing reproduction in terms of economic value, they’re attempting to re-commodify women’s bodies as tools of reproduction and to limit the scope of our choices to those that serve their pro-consumerist economic paradigm.

They’re trying to get us all to make more people to sell more shit to, and they’ve glossed it all over with religion.

But a woman’s value as a human being is not related to her sexual status, sexual preference, marital status or how many children she’s willing to have.

Women are not farms to be managed through public discussion and policymaking. Our wombs are not fertile fields to be worked by our husbands’ ploughs for the greater good of capitalism and the nation. The decision of whether or not to become a mother is a deeply personal and private one, as are all sexual and reproductive decisions. Any tea partier worth her tea leaves ought to know this.

Of course, the bigger problem is that the global consumerist system is doomed to failure, and global resources are already straining under the weight of our exploding human population. Our current system cannot last any more than the world’s supply of oil and other non-renewable resources can last. A new baby boom might help some CEOs make bank, but in the end it’s going to come down to composting, growing what you eat, building what you use — except that there will be a lot more mouths to feed.

LETTERS from Page 6

everyone else jumped off a cliff, would you jump too?”

Scot Anderson/via Internet When Craig Zalk responded to the article “To cut or not to cut,” he repeated some common misconceptions about circumcision and the foreskin. Upon hearing that the foreskin is, indeed, erogenous tissue, some men who were circumcised at birth exclaim, “But I’m already too sensitive!”

What they don’t consider is that intact (uncircumcised) men don’t feel that way. Most intact adult men in America choose to stay intact, and in Europe and other developed areas where infant circumcision is rare, adult circumcision is almost unheard of. In other words, when given the choice most men would choose to keep their foreskins. What does that say about our country’s habit of removing a man’s foreskin before he can object?

Craig Garrett/Colorado Springs

When did protecting the rich become our top priority?

Study after study has shown that anti-poverty programs stimulate the economy while reducing crime, while tax cuts for the rich have the opposite effect. In fact, a new study shows that people enrolled in Medicaid are healthier, happier and better able to afford health care, which means lower health care costs for our society to share. Head Start has been shown to improve the lives of at-risk children, who become healthier, more educated and more productive adults.

Protect the poor I’m very concerned that Congress could change what it means to be an American. In the name of deficit reduction, Congress and the president are negotiating a plan that would massively cut programs that help millions of lowincome and working Americans make ends meet, while defending billions in tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires.

End corporate personhood The conceit that corporations are persons is a deceit. It is also the law.

In a narrow 5-4 decision that is having broad and not fully determined consequences, the Supreme Court ruled in Citizens United v.

Federal Elections Commission that corporations and unions have the same rights as individuals with regard to free speech.

The Supreme Court based its majority opinion on the First Amendment, which guarantees freedom of speech. In doing so, they used the assumptions that corporations are persons and that money is free speech.

Money talks, but we don’t have to listen. Citizen United has resulted in a flood of corporate and union spending on candidate elections. Do not let their megaphones drown the voices of the citizens of our community, our state or our nation.

The Boulder City Council is considering the placement of a referendum on the November ballot that calls for amending the U.S. Constitution to abolish “corporate personhood.” Please support this referendum. Let your voice be heard.

Kristen Marshall/Boulder

Despite these successes, these and other critical programs face billions in cuts. Are tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires really more important than the health and development of our children?

We need a balanced approach to deficit reduction. I urge Sens. Udall and Bennet and Rep. Diane DeGette to only support a deficit reduction plan that includes new revenue from those best able to afford it, while also protecting low-income Americans from falling deeper into poverty. Thank you.

West Nile Virus confirmed Boulder County Public Health (BCPH) has confirmed the first case of West Nile virus (WNV) in Colorado for the 2011 season. A 47-year-old Longmont woman reported that she first became ill on July 4.

She developed a severe headache, body aches and extreme fatigue. She was not hospitalized, and her symptoms have since improved.

“I hope this will remind people that although we don’t hear as much about West Nile virus as we used to, it’s still a risk,” said Murielle Romine, BCPH Communicable Disease Control program coordinator. “I cannot emphasize enough that we all still need to take steps to protect ourselves and our families.”

WNV is a disease that can be transmitted to humans by mosquitoes.

While most infections are mild, the more serious infections can cause encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) and/or meningitis (inflammation of the brain’s lining), loss of vision, paralysis, coma, tremors, convulsions and death. Symptoms of WNV include fever, extreme fatigue, headache, body aches, and occasionally can also include skin rashes and swollen lymph nodes. Generally, symptoms appear three to 14 days after being bitten by a mosquito. People who experience these symptoms should consult with their doctors or local community health clinics. There is no treatment, cure or vaccination for WNV. Health care providers can only treat the symptoms to help patients feel better and possibly recover more quickly.

Public health officials urge residents to take action to protect themselves by following all of the four Ds: 1. Use DEET-enhanced insect repellant or an approved alternative. 2. Dress in long sleeves and pants. 3. Dusk to dawn, avoid the outdoors. 4. Drain standing water outside the home.

For more information about WNV, please visit the BCPH website at www.

Lane closed on S. Boulder Road Due to road damage, one lane of South Boulder Road remains closed in both directions from South 68th Street to Barcelona Drive, just west of 76th Street. The lane closures are expected to last for several days and will cause traffic congestion.

County officials advise motorists

and cyclists to take alternate routes if possible and to exercise extra caution if they travel through the area.

The damage was caused by upward heaving of the large concrete panels that make up the road. An assessment is underway to determine what caused the heaving.

Police seek witness in rape case Boulder police believe there may be a witness to the sexual assault of an 18-year-old female that occurred around 4:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 16.

The victim was walking alone along the 28th Street Frontage Road north of Baseline, when she was allegedly grabbed from behind and then sexually assaulted.

The victim believes a male walking by might have heard or seen part of the incident. The witness is described as a blonde, white male in his 20s. He was wearing a dark-colored T-shirt with some type of white graphics and gray sweatpants. He made a comment as he passed by. Police believe the witness may not have known or understood that a sexual assault was taking place.

Detectives would like to talk to this witness and are asking him to come forward. The witness, and anyone who may have information about this crime, is asked to contact Detective Brian Scott at 303-441-3381. Those who have information but wish to remain anonymous may contact the Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or 1-800444-3776. Tips can also be submitted via the Crime Stoppers website at www.crimeshurt.com. Those submitting tips through Crime Stoppers that lead to the arrest and filing of charges on a suspect(s) may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000 from Crime Stoppers.

Businesses designated ‘bike friendly’ Community Cycles and GO Boulder recently named nine Boulder businesses “bike friendly,” bringing the number of “bike friendly” designated businesses in Boulder to 48 since the program began in January.

The Boulder Bike Friendly Business program was developed by Community Cycles with support from GO Boulder.

Both organizations share a desire to increase the viability of bicycle commuting and hope the program encourages more businesses to accommodate riders with amenities like parking, Boulder Weekly

briefs boulderweekly.com/briefs

changing facilities, and a bike-friendly business culture. To receive the designation, business owners fill out a survey ranking their commitment to making biking a viable option for customers and employees. Respondents answer questions about bike amenities they offer, community involvement and company programs and company policies related to biking. Businesses are ranked Platinum, Gold, Silver or Bronze based on their score out of 100.

The most recent group of honorees includes Eco-Cycle and Pivot Communication at Platinum; PreRace. com, Rally Software and NOAA Boulder at Gold; Walnut Café, Quick Left and Walnut Capital Management at Silver; and University Parent Media at Bronze. More than 40 other businesses have received bike-friendly distinctions since January.

“It’s encouraging to see the great response we’ve received to this program,” said Sue Prant, advocacy director at Community Cycles. “It goes to show just how much many local businesses care about supporting cycling culture.”

Those named bike-friendly receive a Boulder Bike Friendly Business sticker. Businesses are also featured on the Community Cycles and GO Boulder websites and e-newsletters.

WOW!, Lafayette Library team up WOW! Children’s Museum and Lafayette Public Library announced on Friday, July 15, that they are forming a partnership to launch an innovative after-school and family-focused science and literacy educational effort titled LEAP into Science. Based in Lafayette, the two organizations form one of 10 partnerships nationwide selected to launch a program modeled after the highly successful LEAP into Science museum/library partnership between Philadelphia’s Franklin Institute and The Free Library of Philadelphia.

The national effort kicks off with a LEAP into Science Expansion Conference July 18-20 in Philadelphia, with educators from both organizations slated to attend. Museums, libraries, school districts, universities and a variety of other educational institutions from New York City to Salt Lake City have signed on, with a total of 25 representatives from these organizations gathering at The Franklin Institute to learn best practices as they design and launch their own Boulder Weekly

programs.

After school programs are a growing feature of informal education throughout the country, and 31 sites vied for the opportunity to launch their own LEAP into Science partnership programs.

Volunteers sought for YardBusters Boulder County CareConnect has launched YardBusters, a new service that provides yard work for seniors and adults with disabilities. CareConnect already has a FixIt service for indoor repairs. Now help will be available for minor outdoor repairs, as well as yard work.

“A recent countywide study showed that helping older adults stay in their homes requires assistance with maintaining yards and gardens, as well as leaky faucets and grab bars,” says Richard Varnes, executive director of CareConnect. “Our sense of living in a workable and safe home extends beyond the front door. A senior who can grow a modest garden and keep his or her home tidy and clear of fallsafety hazards will be safer and happier in that home.”

CareConnect is in need of volunteers to help with the new program.

Volunteer time is flexible and can include evenings and weekends.

Although volunteers are especially needed who have and can transport their own lawn mowers (client lawns are generally small), volunteers of any ability are welcome — with or without yard maintenance tools.

The primary focus of the program is occasional yard maintenance and cleanup with an eye to safety and compliance with city ordinances.

Although volunteers won’t be providing regular lawn mowing services, YardBusters will help residents avoid citations for lawn and weed ordinance violations.

A high priority of the program is to reduce the risk of falls outside the home by removing potential safety hazards such as uneven pavers, branches and brush. Other volunteer tasks may include removing weeds, raking leaves, spring garden preparation, removal of small tree limbs and fall safety hazards.

Sign up to volunteer by calling Rebecca Yenney, YardBusters coordinator, at 303-443-1933 x 416, or visit www.careconnectbc.org.

Plutonium parkway Activists say a highway or bikeway through Rocky Flats site may present hazards

by Quibian Salazar-Moreno

On

July 20, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service held a public meeting to gather input regarding the use of certain areas of the Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge for transportation.

While some local governments and agencies are eager to see the parcel of land — a strip up to 300-feet wide from the Indiana Street right-of-way on the eastern border of the Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge — be used either for a proposed parkway or a bike path, local nuclear activists say building anything there could be dangerous due to the presence of plutonium in the soil.

The Rocky Flats site, east of Highway 93 between Boulder and Golden, used to be a nuclear weapons plant. Production was halted in 1992, and the site went through years of cleanup, the success of which is disputed, before the land was set aside as a wildlife refuge.

The Jefferson Parkway Public Highway Authority ( JPPHA) has offered $1.8 million for the land to build Jefferson Parkway, a proposed privately financed tollway that would help complete the long-coveted beltway around Denver. The proposed road would connect to the end of Northwest Parkway, running south along the eastern boundary of the refuge and connecting to Highway 93. Supporters believe that the tollway will relieve traffic on U.S. 36 and I-70, as well as bring more jobs and businesses to the area.

The city of Golden is against the tollway and instead has offered $2 million for the space to build a pedestrian and bike path called the Jefferson Bikeway. The trail will connect to other regional trails.

“We believe our proposal has an excellent chance of being selected because it is much more respectful of the natural resources in the Rocky Flats area compared to the multi-lane toll road proposed by the JPPHA,” Golden City Manager Mike Bestor said in a recent press release.

But before any of that happens, LeRoy Moore, of the Rocky Mountain Peace and Justice Center, believes that a deeper environmental investigation needs to take place.

“What we’re proposing is that they don’t sell the property at all until they have done a full environmental impact statement,” Moore says. “This includes sampling the soil to find out how much plutonium is in there, what the depth is and how widespread it is. That’s what they need to do.”

Moore argues that after the Rocky Flats clean up in 2005, the Colorado Department of Health and the Environmental Protection Agency, which approved the cleanup and gave the green light to make it a refuge, didn’t test the soil thoroughly enough to determine whether the plutonium levels were still harmful.

“They did, indeed, sample the soil in the area that’s being talked about, but the sampling they did was very shallow on the surface of the soil,” Moore says. “It was inadequate and didn’t go deep into the soil. Scientists in 1970 produced a map detailing the high concentrations of plutonium areas. They only tested a depth of eight inches, and they showed that the area along Indiana Street is highly contaminated with plutonium.”

If a road or bike path is constructed in an area where plutonium is present in the soil, particles of plutonium could make their way into the air, where they present a health hazard. Plutonium emits a type of radiation that does not penetrate skin but that can cause cancer or other ailments if it is inhaled or ingested. Activists say that because plutonium remains dangerously radioactive for a quarter of a million years, it poses a permanent hazard.

Neither the city of Golden nor the JPPHA have discussed the need for an environmental impact study, but both cite the EPA’s approval of the cleanup in 2005.

Groping goes one way with TSA Longmont resident Yukari Mihamae found out last week that groping only goes one way when it comes to the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA). Mihamae, apparently a frequent flyer, felt violated by repeated TSA screenings.

“I go through this every week, and every week there is some problem,” she told the New York Post.

TSA officials allege that Mihamae refused to be screened and that, when an argument ensued with security agents, Mihamae grabbed and squeezed the breast of a female TSA employee.

Mihamae denies this.

Frustration runs high nationwide with TSA following incidents that include: forcing breast cancer survivors with prosthetics to remove their prostheses; patting down (i.e., groping) young children; requiring elderly, wheel-chair ridden passengers to remove adult diapers; knocking off the external urine bag of a bladder cancer survivor during an enhanced groping session.

Each time TSA does something like this, we’re told they’re “reviewing procedures” and “discussing options.”

And then some other really unfair and terrible thing happens to an innocent traveler. Frankly, a lot of Americans are just disgusted.

Perhaps that disgust explains why Mihamae, who has not yet been charged with a crime, has a legion of followers on Facebook. A still-growing group calling itself “Acquit Yukari Mihamae” now has more than 4,000 followers.

But, whether Mihamae actually grabbed that TSA agent’s breast or not, travelers should view Mihamae’s ordeal as a precautionary tale. Just because the TSA agent grabs your junk, doesn’t mean you get to grab hers.

Life just isn’t fair that way.

Local idiots blame the victim A woman walks home alone at 4:30 a.m. An animal masquerading as a man comes up behind her and rapes her, violating her body, mind and spirit. And the enraged public demands that the perpetrator be caught and punished, right?

Wrong.

Local idiots instead demanded to know what the victim was doing out at Boulder Weekly

4:30 a.m. by herself. They act as if she is to blame for what happened to her, not the rapist.

Would they behave the same way toward someone injured by a drunk driver? Would they ask, “Why was she on the highway late at night? Did she want to be hit by a drunk driver?” No, of course they wouldn’t. Then why do they respond to news of sexual assaults in this way?

The perception seems to be that if women took sufficient precautions, they wouldn’t get raped — as if rape were an acceptable consequence of doing something “unsafe.”

What a load of bullshit!

There is no moral equivalency between a woman who does something “risky” and a man who makes the choice to rape her. She is not even 1 percent to blame for what the rapist chose to do. The rapist alone is responsible, just as a drunk driver is responsible.

Rather than focusing our ire on the alleged victim in the July 16 rape and telling women what to do so that they don’t get raped, the community should focus on teaching men how not to rape.

Here are a few sexual assault prevention tips Boulder Weekly picked up at SlutWalk on July 2: Don’t put drugs in people’s drinks in order to control their behavior.

If you stop to help people with car problems, don’t assault them.

When you see someone walking by herself, leave her alone.

If you are in an elevator and someone else gets in, don’t assault them.

Never open an unlocked door or window uninvited.

Use the buddy system! If you are not able to stop yourself from assaulting people, ask a friend to stay with you when you are in public.

Don’t pretend to be a friend in order to gain the trust of someone you want to assault. Consider telling them you plan to assault them. If you don’t communicate your intentions, the other person may take that as a sign that you do not plan to rape them.

Don’t forget: You can’t have sex with someone unless they’re awake.

Carry a whistle. If you’re worried you might assault someone accidentally, you can hand it to the person you’re with so they can blow it if you do.

Summer of our

discontent Adults take traditional teen jobs, leaving youth unemployed

by Sarah Simmons

W

hen Erin Swiatek began looking for a job last summer, she scoured her neighborhood for employment, but found even the fast food restaurants in the area around her home weren’t hiring. “[I applied] anywhere I could,” says Swiatek, an 18-year-old Erie High School graduate. “There was [sic] a lot of fast food restaurants that were near my house: Dominos, Pizza Hut, but no takers. Even at Target, they said they wouldn’t hire me or someone else had already taken [the position].”

Swiatek says even at these locations, many of the employees were older and she felt her age might have been a deterrent for the employers.

“I started to give up because they were only taking adults, and I was like, ‘Who would ever hire me? I’m just a kid,’” she says.

Swiatek’s experience is a common one for many youth aged 16 to 21 in Boulder County and across the nation: During the past three years, they are increasingly finding that jobs historically available for them, such as hospitality, food services and retail, are being taken by adults. Some are even calling this summer the most difficult yet in terms of youth employment opportunities.

They are gradually becoming the last hired and first fired in these areas as adults scramble to find employment in the wake of the recession.

Josue Sales, now 17, says the only job he find as a 14-year-old was through the ¡Cultiva! Growing Gardens Youth Project.

The fact that employers are not hiring youth is a trend with real consequences. Fewer summer jobs for youth mean less exposure to work environments and ultimately less time to build the skills and experiences needed for career track employment.

Programs for youth

Programs such as Workforce Boulder County, the Junior Rangers and Boulder County Youth Corps are working to counteract this trend by providing youth with workshops focusing on interviewing and job skills, and even employment opportunities.

The Junior Rangers and Boulder County Youth Corps are organizations that exclusively hire youth for jobs like building trails, landscaping, forestry work and historic restoration.

Hannah Wolfe, a 17-year-old recent graduate of Peak to Peak charter school in Lafayette, says she first became employed with Boulder County Youth Corps when she was Josue Sales, 17, assists a 14. Wolfe is Boulder resident in bagging Growing Garden’s organic doing forestry produce at the farmer’s market. work at Heil Running booth is part of duties of hired youth.

Valley Ranch Open Space this summer.

“The young age they were hiring at was beneficial,” Wolfe says. “No one else really had a job, and I was the only one getting paychecks and not having fun all summer, it seemed like, but it’s a great job, and it was great just to be able to have somewhere to go everyday and have something to do.”

Workforce Boulder County (WFBC) has three employment programs, two of which focus on youth: the federally funded Workforce Employment Act and the Governor’s Summer Job Hunt Program. Each year, the Governor’s Summer Job Hunt Program holds two job fairs in Boulder County, one in Boulder and one in Longmont, and encourages employers around the area to come and accept applications from youth.

Despite these efforts, leaders of these organizations realize that youth face serious challenges while looking for employment in Boulder County.

Claire Callahan, who runs the Governor’s Summer Job Hunt Program, says that in the past, WFBC has had success with hosting the job fairs. This year however, very few employers showed up to the fair in March.

“Typically restaurants would show up,” Callahan says.

“In previous years we’ve had places as far as Water World come out here to recruit, and in recent years they just don’t bother because they’re so inundated with young people just from their own local areas. Sonic was somebody that was pretty much a go-to count on, and they didn’t come this year.”

One consistent attendee is Boulder’s Growing Gardens, Callahan says.

Growing Gardens’ youth program ¡Cultiva! employs about 50 teens between 11 and 19 years old to tend to their two-acre organic garden, harvest the produce for the Boulder Farmer’s Market and run the booth at the market.

“I feel like there’s a shortage of youth employers,” says Ellie Goldberg, the ¡Cultiva! coordinator. “[Working] helps them become more independent and helps prepare them for future jobs in

the community and gives them just an opportunity to meet their potential.”

Eric Norton, an 18-year-old intern helping to run the ¡Cultiva! and Growing Gardens booth at the Farmer’s Market, says he would never have found the job if it had not been for WFBC’s job fair. Working at ¡Cultiva! has been his first and only job.

“I guess Boulder is notorious for not being youth friendly, and I guess a lot of people keep searching around and have no luck,” Norton says.

Working alongside Norton at the farmer’s market is Josue Sales, a 17-year-old senior at Boulder High School and third-year employee at ¡Cultiva!. Sales says he applied to Youth Corps and was not accepted, but managed to get a position at Growing Gardens because of WFBC, and he’s noticed that not many other youth are having such luck.

“None of my friends can really get jobs,” Sales says. “I’m usually the one saying, ‘Hey, you need to get a job.’”

Elsa Gallegos, a WFBC employment advisor, says it’s crucial that more employers come to the job fairs and make an effort to hire more youth. Otherwise, the result of an entire demographic being without work experience could have a negative snowball effect for both their individual economic futures and their preparedness to contribute to the workforce as adults.

Gallegos says the best advice she gives for youth struggling to find employment is to show experience through babysitting or lawn mowing opportunities in their neighborhood to build a resume and references for an entry-level job.

“Getting as much experience that they can get now either through summer work or, if they’re in college through work study, is vital because employers on the other hand don’t hire unless they have some experience,” Gallegos says.

Teens need not apply

Few organizations exclusively hire teens, and WFBC Director Tom Miller says overall the last three to four years have been especially challenging, and the statistical information proves it.

While the nation’s unemployment rate currently stands at 9.2 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Miller says the youth unemployment rate is usually double, if not more, and may currently stand around an estimated 25.3 percent in Colorado — slightly higher than the nationwide average of 24.5 percent.

The overall unemployment situation may be pushing older people into finding any means of employment, Boulder Weekly

often below their skill levels, in an effort to provide for their families, and Miller says employers are more inclined to offer jobs for these older applicants.

“I think employers hire people who are more mature and have been in the workforce longer because they know what’s expected of them from their employers,” Miller says. “They’re more reliable, and there’s less training.

They’re more consistent. Many youth only want summer jobs; [employers] may want people longer than summer.”

Jane Ganz, a WFBC supervisor who works with the youth program team, says youth often face these preexisting stereotypes of immaturity and unreliability, both of which are often unfounded but can seriously discour-

age employers from hiring youth.

A Youth Corps “What we’ve always leader celebrates heard from employers that the hard work of his trail construction have employed youth durteam. ing the summer is they have so much enthusiasm, so much energy, and they’re good workers,” Ganz says. “It’s kind of the antithesis of what most people think about youth.”

Another stereotype that is even harder for youth to overcome is the idea that the money they earn from summer employment is purely recreational, often paying for tickets to movies with friends or for trips to the mall, Ganz says.

In reality, some youth are in need of income to help their families with everyday expenses. In

Swiatek’s case, she says she initially looked for work to help her parents out, but at their insistence, she saved the money to help pay for the community college classes she now attends.

“Many of our youth who need to work in the summer need it to buy school clothes for the upcoming school year,” Ganz says. “Perhaps in the last couple years it’s been more giving it to their parents to help with monthly bills that come in. I don’t see a lot of youth working in the summer just for them to have money. It’s for a purpose.”

Incentives to hire

One incentive for employers to hire youth is a Colorado Revised Statute that was put into effect on July 1, 1977. The statute allows unemanicpated minors, or a youth living at home with a parent or guardian who is under 18, to be hired at 15 percent less than the minimum wage. With the current minimum wage of $7.36 an hour in Colorado, this statute could mean a youth would earn $6.25 an hour.

“Now we don’t know that too many employers take advantage of that, and we would suggest that if an employer thinks that perhaps a salary below the $7.36 minimum wage might make hiring a young person possible, that they should contact our department of labor and learn more about that particular provision in state law,” says Bill Theonnes, a spokesperson for the state labor department. “It’s not a great reduction, but its still almost a dollar less than what they would be paying per hour.”

Theonnes says by teaching youth how to market themselves in such difficult times organizations like those in Boulder County are pointing them in the right direction.

“In the worst of times, a program like the Governor’s Summer Job Hunt is even more important because teens have largely been disenfranchised from the workplace even in the best of times, and in the worst of times that’s just exacerbated,” he says.

The skills youth are given won’t be worth the effort however, if employers aren’t willing to hire them, says Julie Berge, the statewide Governor’s Summer Job Hunt coordinator.

“It’s going to take time before the youth are back in the workforce as a constant like they were five years ago,” Berge says. “We’ve got to communicate to the employers that this is another generation coming up, coming through, being ready to get into the workforce.”

garbage,” Matsch says.

But Matsch says Eco-Cycle purchases offset credits from STI because they’re one of the credible companies that don’t include garbage as renewable energy. EcoCycle will also be selling offset credits in the eco-store they plan to launch.

Natural Habitat Adventures, a nature travel company based in Boulder, also offsets their travelers’ flights by purchasing credits from STI. “Here we are saying, ‘Let’s protect our planet,’ but just the very act of what we do has a negative effect on the planet,” says Ben Bressler, founder and director of NHA. “We know that people aren’t going to stop traveling, and this is what we do as a company, so we wanted to do something to offset all the greenhouse gas releases that we are giving off through the act of purchasing our product.”

Bressler says that NHA pays to offset all of their travelers’ trips to and from each excursion’s official starting destination, but that travelers are responsible for offsetting their flights to and from their hometowns, if they choose. But after a traveler goes on 10 trips with NHA, Bressler says the company will pay to offset that traveler’s flights to and from the starting point of their trip.

a year to carbon offset,” Bressler says.

In 2007, NHA became the world’s first carbon-neutral travel company when they decided to gauge the amount of fuel they used, then worked with STI to calculate how much it would cost to offset the carbon they produce and purchase those offsets.

Tom and Linda Nolle have been traveling with NHA since the late ’90s. Tom Nolle says NHA focuses above all else on making sure trips are valuable and entertaining, and that other benefits like carbon offsetting are “icing on the cake.”

“But once you’ve looked at the quality experience, it’s really good to know that a company understands that you’ve got to protect this thing that you’re visiting,” he says. “You can’t create a travel experience that plays a role in destroying the environment if it’s environmental travel. It’s like suicide, and it’s irresponsible.”

While purchasing carbon-offset credits does contribute positively to the environment, Matsch says it’s important to keep in mind that participating in the program won’t offset travel’s negative impact.

“The first order of reduction is to minimize use as much as possible,” Matsch says. “When you do have to travel, then I think it’s important you go with a reputable offset company.”

Local company helps clients purchase carbon-offset credits

y paying less than $14, you can offset the carbon emissions you produce from one round trip flight from Denver to Los Angeles in economy class.

According to Sustainable Travel International’s Personal Carbon Footprint Calculator, .5507 tons of carbon dioxide are produced from that round trip flight. But you can offset that flight’s negative effect on the environment by giving STI a $13.96 donation to invest in renewable energy and carbon-offset projects that their website says are validated by independent third parties.

One example of a project STI might fund with such donations is replacing coal pots in parts of Ghana with more efficient stoves, reducing charcoal consumption by 25 percent, according to the STI website.

But how do you know if you’re purchasing credits from a reputable company?

Eco-Cycle Communications Director Marti Matsch advises travelers purchasing offset credits to make sure that they’re not accidentally contributing to a company that lists capturing greenhouse gas emissions from landfills qualifies as a source of green energy. Matsch said that in a recent Eco-Cycle study, Program Developer Kate Bailey found that most companies offering carbon-offset credits count trapping methane at landfills as contributing toward renewable energy.

“There are some companies that will let you choose what sort of project you want to support with your carbon offsets, but most of them include [methane from]

t’s not the stuff on the TV Louisiana bluesman Tab Benoit’s singing about. Not the “may cause side effects,” hyper-disclaimered, check-with-your-doctor-first gel cap in the reassuringly pastel boxes.

“Bring me my medicine,” he howls, because “I’m stuck in the middle of a right and wrong / I don’t know what keeps me hanging on.”

So starts off the title track from his latest long player, Medicine, a fist-in-the-dirt blues stomper he composed with Anders Osborne, the first in a series of songs the two guitarists assembled for this project during a camping trip together last year on the bayou. Osborne acted as co-writer and rhythm guitarist for the sessions — interestingly, also using BB King’s iconic Gibson guitar “Lucille” for all the non-slide parts.

Apart from being one of the great Telecaster stylists out there these days, and a commanding vocalist, Benoit, for anyone who’s seen him, is a presence. Medicine reminds you of that, and you don’t micromanage presence, or program it or splice it in.

“Yeah, it was the first we wrote when we got out to the camp,” Benoit tells us. “Everything on it was done pretty much the way we wrote it, just a natural sequence of things.

I like doin’ it that way.

it’s mining the artist’s soul. And you don’t airbrush soul.

“That’s a lazy man’s out,” Benoit says. “If that’s the way you go in and record, you’re going to get a lazy man’s record. And who wants to listen to that?”

Among the Chicago blues rippers and the Cajun shuffles, and an elegant, bittersweet acoustic ballad called “Long Lonely Bayou” featuring BeauSoleil’s Michael Doucet’s mournful fiddle, Benoit also includes a tight and doublejointed read of The Subdudes’ “Next To Me,” a nugget from the band’s Behind The Levee release from years back.

“Yeah, that was Anders’ suggestion; he thought we could do it justice. I had pushed it away, pushed it away, pushed it away,” Benoit says. “I was just trying to get down all the stuff down that we had written together, and I think it was pretty much the last thing we recorded.”

Benoit shrugs off the observation that he made the thing bounce and jump like it had been his all along.

“Heh, I just played it once,” he says.

“And I hadn’t listened to it a lot, you know? A lot of times, when I do someone else’s song, I don’t wanna hear it a lot. Just give me the overall structure of it, and turn the machine on. I don’t want to make it sound like the original.

And then Katrina happened, and it showed everyone that we were right.

“And it’s got nothing to do with me trying to out-do everybody, because, look man, there’s competition in this world [of wetlands conservation].

I just said, look, these people are playing with our history and our future.

“Y’know, I grew up on 300 acres of land, and we got 40 left. The places where I camped out and wrote my first songs and hunted and fished as a kid are gone. And these people who are making decisions aren’t from here. They don’t live here. And … I talked myself out of running for office to do it this way.”

There is a line from “Whole Lotta Soul,” the third track from Medicine, that goes “What’s the matter with the place we live in? / Did Mother Nature get it wrong? / Rush the delta in the name of changin’ / And dig it till it’s dead and gone.”

“Yeah. Yeah. That’s how they treated this area, like Mother Nature got it wrong,” Benoit says. “So they went and tried to fix what Mother Nature did.

And they made it worse.”

From Russia with laughs Gogol joins the Shakespeare Festival

by Gary Zeidner

O

ne of my high school teachers believed — decades before the advent of Avenue Q — that everyone is just a little bit racist. He claimed, therefore, that the best anyone could do was to be “actively anti-racist,” and I have always done my best to follow that credo. So take the next bit as the joke it is tended and leave the torches and pitchforks in the shed.

Apparently, “Russian humor” is not the oxymoron that, say, German mercy, French courage or English frivolity are.

(Again, totally kidding. I’m sure that at this very moment somewhere a German is rescuing a kitten from a tree, a Frenchman is standing up to a roomful of Hell’s Angels who besmirched his girlfriend’s good name and an Englishman is making “Caloo! Caloo!” noises while spinning his propeller beanie.) I mean, I never believed the entire artistic landscape of America’s once fearsome, super-powered opponent in the race to blow the tits off the world was completely devoid of comedy. I just didn’t expect it to be so much like Three’s Company.

And make no mistake, Nikolai Gogol’s The Inspector General, presented by the Colorado Shakespeare Festival, is but a Janet and Chrissy away from that sitcom hit of the ’70s and ’80s. As with pretty much every episode of Three’s Company, The Inspector General revolves around a case of mistaken identity. The corrupt leaders of a

provincial Russian community learn that an inspector general has been dispatched to their little burg. If the inspector general learns of the deficiencies and inequities perpetrated by the ruling regime, the consequences could be dire.

Desperate to retain their power, the mayor (Gary Alan Wright/Evgeny Weigel) and his cronies seek out the inspector general in hopes of bribing him into submission. They decide that a recently arrived, seemingly entitled traveler from St. Petersburg, the home base of the inspector general, must be their man. Khlestakov (Stephen Weitz/ Alexandr Slavski) is a rascally official of dubious morals, and in this he is a per-

fect match for the sleazy elite of the town. He is not, however, the inspector general.

Khlestakov spends the rest of the play fleecing the mayor and his crew of as much money, luxury and tail as possible, all of which they happily supply, thinking that they are effectively protecting their interests. Whether he is found out for the fraud that he is and whether the real inspector general turns up I will not disclose. Suffice it to say that, as with Jack, the Ropers and the barflies down at the Regal Beagle, most everything works out — one way or the other — in the end.

I was lucky enough to see one of the two performances of The Inspector

General during which certain key roles — the mayor, the health commissioner (Erik Sandvold/Vladimir Sergiakov), the postmaster (Geoffrey Kent/ Nikolay Timoshenko) and Khlestakov — were played by actors speaking in both English and Russian. From time to time, the American actor in the role would leave the stage mid-scene and be replaced by his Russian counterpart, or vice versa. The changes themselves were handled smoothly and were often in and of themselves hilarious. Hearing large chunks of the dialogue delivered in Russian did not, as promised by CSF honcho Philip Sneed, keep me from following the action. As I don’t know Russian, it did keep me from understanding the actual words being spoken, but its novelty outweighed the stranger-in-a-strangeland effect.

The Russian actors, all of whom played their roles in the major Russian production of the play, delivered broad, comfortable performances. Gary Alan Wright played the mayor with a delicious mix of greed and fear, and Lanna Joffrey and Jamie Ann Romero (who is also playing Juliet in Romeo and Juliet this season), as the mayor’s wife and daughter, respectively, consistently earned the largest laughs. If I had but one award to give out to the cast, however, it would have to go to Stephen Weitz. He once again proved that he is an actor of effortless professionalism whose comic chops are second to none.

Rebirth Brass Band brings New Orleans to Boulder

by Matt Conner

P

roving the old adage that patience pays off, the Frazier brothers — Keith and Phil — are finally breaking through into the national scene after plying their trade for 28 years. With their heavy, funky brand of New Orleans brass, the Rebirth Brass Band are now playing theaters and finding more commercial and critical attention than ever with the emergence of David Simon’s latest HBO series, Treme.

The origin of Rebirth Brass Band hearkens all the way back to 1983, when Phil, Keith and Kermit Ruffins, who co-produced the band’s latest album Rebirth of New Orleans, came together for the first time to play local gigs, indoor and outdoor, around New Orleans. Fourteen albums later, the Frazier brothers have played on four continents and are just now finding their greatest momentum.

“After the HBO series Treme came out, it generated a lot of interest in New Orleans culture and music,” says Keith Frazier. “As a result of that, we’ve seen a larger number of people coming out to the shows and stuff, because they want to find out what this brass music is all about. Because it generates interest, club owners see us and say, ‘I want to get you guys to our festival or our club.’ So we’re playing larger things right now. It’s been great for the band.”

Frazier also says the exposure has been educational for folks who might not understand just what a brass band is all about. While the cast of players might rotate over the years, the exact set-up has never

diverged from the original. As Keith describes the same structure night after night, he becomes animated describing the “trombones on the outside” or the “highs in the middle.” It’s a passion for him to stay connected to his musical and regional roots, both of which run deep.

For those unfamiliar, a brass band is rooted in the history of a marching band. The rigid line, the anchor of the bass drum and tuba, the two instruments of choice for Keith and Phil respectively, and the use of instrumental solos all take their queues from the style.

It only takes one quick tune for the listener to realize this is different than a New Orleans jazz band, and that the facets of New Orleans musical heritage are more varied than you might believe.

Yet as the genre becomes more commercially understood and appreciated, Keith says their new album is focused on establishing their own name and not just a genre.

“With the new CD, we’re trying to do a lot of originals,” Keith Frazier says. “We want to put our

own mark on this CD in terms of having original material, because in the past we’ve done a lot of cover tunes. We want people to know that our music isn’t just about New Orleans. We want people to know that it’s not just a brass band, but the Rebirth Brass Band. I think we really accomplished that. We had different guys in the band put their ideas together and come up with a Rebirth song. We want people to know from the very first note that it’s a Rebirth tune, and I think we did that.”

The timing for a new recording is pitch perfect with the opportunity afforded by Simon. Keith said the band was both excited and a bit nervous when confronted with the possibility of working with the talented writer/director, but getting over any kind of stage fright was worth it to help the city they love and a genre they inhabit.

“When David Simon first had the idea for Treme, he mentioned to my brother Philip that he was doing something based around musicians in New Orleans, and that he wanted us to be a part of it,” says Keith.

“We didn’t know exactly what he wanted us to do, but we knew what his work consisted of after watching The Wire and The Corner.

“We got together when he called us and in the beginning they just wanted the music. But then he said he wanted us to be musicians in the series and read lines and that kind of stuff,” he continues. “We were like, ‘Sure thing. Whatever it takes to get the Rebirth name out there and be involved and let people know that New Orleans is on its way back.’”

Charlie Faye played with 10 different bands nationwide for new album

by David Accomazzo

W

hen faced with the bleak prospect of a grueling tour in support of her 2009 album, Wilson St., Austin, Texas, singer-songwriter Charlie Faye had an idea. Instead of 100 shows in 200 days, why not experiment? How about 10 one-month residencies in 10 towns across America?

The goal was to replace the cold anonymity of the road with meaningful relationships and a sense of belonging. She managed to turn that crazy idea into reality, and in the first residency in Tuscon, Ariz., she decided to push her premise a step further: Form 10 bands — one in each stop on the tour — record 10 songs and make an album. It was an ambitious goal, and the result of that experiment is her latest album, Travels With Charlie, an album with tracks as stylistically different as the towns in which they were recorded.

Faye’s tour took her to Tuscon, Ariz.; Los Angeles; Portland, Ore.; Vashon Island, Wash.; Shreveport, La.; Nashville, Tenn.; Milwaukee; Asheville, N.C.; New York; Burlington, Vt. and Boulder.

For Faye, each song conjures up memories of the towns she stayed in and the musicians she corralled into the studio, often at the very last minute. The uptempo, poppy track “Obvious to Me,” recorded in Milwaukee, is miles away from the horn-laden country tune “Broken-Heart Maker,” recorded in Tuscon. The slow honky-tonk shuffle “Two-timer” reminds Faye of the Nashville musicians whose experience gave the song an authentic, old-timey country sound.

“Those guys know how to play that stuff,” Faye says. “Other people can fake it, but it’s really in there.”

The way she’s touring to support Travels With Charlie — slyly named after John Steinbeck’s travelogue, Travels With Charley: In Search of America — is

far more conventional than how she recorded the album. She has only three months to visit the towns she lived in for 10 months, but now that she has roots in so many places, she sees the tour stops as homecomings.

Living somewhere for a month is just enough time to start developing meaningful connections, Faye says, and one of the more challenging parts of the tour was saying goodbye at the end of each month. She’s no longer afraid of moving someplace new, she says.

“I never thought of myself as a super outgoing or super social person, but, being on the road by yourself, you get to the point where after you’ve gone a couple days without really talking to anybody, you’ll talk to anybody,” Faye says. “We are social animals. We need to interact, so when you don’t have the comfort of your friends who you’ve known for years, or your boyfriend or girlfriend who you can stay home with every night, you will go out and meet people and talk to people, because you need that to survive.”

Faye spent April 2010 in Boulder, living in an apartment downtown and playing shows at the

Laughing Goat and the No-Name Bar on the Hill. She worked part-time for Two Moms in the Raw and hung out with former members of Navarro, a popular local band in the ’70s that ended up as the backing band for one of Faye’s musical heroes, Carole King.

The recording session for the Boulder song, “Shadow To Eclipse,” didn’t happen until the last day Faye was in Boulder. Former Navarro drummer Michael Wooten now makes his living as a truck driver, meaning that he is out of town more often than not, and he was only available to record during a short a.m. window before Faye had to hit the road for her next destination. Wooten was able to make it to Coupe Studios on hardly any sleep, and he joined fellow Navarro alums Rob Galloway (bass) and Jeb Bows (fiddle), as well as Todd Ayers (guitar) and Deb Rosencrantz (accordion).

“I had to get on the road early in the afternoon, so we scheduled the session for early [morning], and Michael was coming in. He had been driving the truck the night before,” Faye says. “He got in at 4 in the morning and got up at 9 to come into the studio. So it was like the one time everybody could convene for this recording session. I think it turned out really cool.”

Faye’s brand of Texas-shaded Americana has always been hard to categorize, and the singer admits that she has never really felt comfortable giving her music labels.

But she knows what genre Travels With Charlie falls under.

“I’ve been thinking a lot about what Americana music is,” Faye says. “People define all sorts of stuff as Americana. But what I did on this tour, I went all over America and recorded music with the roots-based musicians in each city. And if that’s not Americana, I don’t know what is.”

T

he world of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire is wonderfully huge. It has its own illnesses, religions and politics; its own disturbing and believable brand of magic; and, above all, its beautifully wrought characters — even more of them in the fifth and latest book, A Dance With Dragons ($35, Bantam). At more than 4,000 pages to date (and a projected seven volumes total), the fantasy series is on its way to being one of the longest ever written.

Readers have complained. Specifically, they have complained that the fourth book did not have enough characters in it, and that Martin is taking too long to write the damn things.

So read Ice and Fire, but beware: If you finish the last one before Martin finishes writing the next, you will suffer. The books are told from the perspectives of a rotating cast, and it’s a terrible thing when you haven’t heard from your favorite character in a while. Here’s the last we heard of my favorite, the female would-be knight Brienne, last seen searching the fictional kingdom of Westeros for her matron’s daughter in Book Four: “sucked the air in desperately, even as the rope was strangling her.

Nothing had ever hurt so much.

She screamed a word.” That was six years ago.

The recent HBO adaptation of the series, Game of Thrones, was fun to watch, but it was missing

the internal life of the characters — something that springs off the page when you’re reading.

“The world was simpler when I had a lord commander to decide such matters,” an elderly soldier thinks as he tries to navigate the world of spies and assassins. “Now I am the lord commander, and it is hard to know which path is right.”

A Dance With Dragons is also one of the few fantasy books in recent memory (and Martin wrote most of the others) that can boast a straightforward and attractive prose style. The vocabulary is blessedly unpretentious, and look at the cadence: “A child emerged from a pool of darkness, a pale boy in a ragged robe, no more than 9 or 10.

Another rose up behind chair. The girl who had opened the door for him was there as well. They were all around him, half a dozen of them, white-faced children with dark eyes, boys and girls together.

And in their hands, the daggers.”

A Dance With Dragons follows the surviving members of the noble, ascetic Stark family, notably Jon Snow, illegitimate son of the late Stark patriarch. Jon leads what amounts to the kingdom’s border patrol, an ill-supplied crew of ex-cons and exiles called the Watch, who guard the realm against monsters that live north of its great wall of ice.

Dance also tracks the progress of the Lannisters, another highBoulder Weekly

born family more or less at war with the Starks. The scabrous dwarf Tyrion Lannister, played to great acclaim by Peter Dinklage in the HBO series, was absent from the last book, having murdered his father and fled Westeros. We get a lot more of him in Dance, and it’s like seeing an old friend. He has become the books’ moral core, as well as their witty comic relief.

We also get more of Daenerys Targaryen — “Dany” — the rightful queen of Westeros, exiled and ruling the distant city of Meereen.

By standing up to the tyrannical class of elite slave merchants that runs Meereen, she is slowly destroying the city against her will; arcane forces of good and evil are less at issue here than everyday problems of right and wrong.

Frequently, characters desperate to kill one another are equally likable; the climactic murder in Dance is all the more tragic for the fact that the murderers are convinced they’re doing the right thing. (They’re not.)

The fourth main character, Theon Greyjoy, has so far been one of the series’ most unsympathetic. Arrogant and hot-tempered, Theon has been rotting in prison since Book Two. Now, Martin forces our perception of an old antagonist to change — a task that clearly delights him. Every chapter starts with the focal character’s name (“Tyrion,” “Jon,” “Daenerys”), but Theon has been Boulder Weekly

tortured so badly that he can’t remember who he is — his chapters are titled “Reek” and then “Turncloak” (cruel nicknames) and later “A Ghost in Winterfell.”

When he finally decides between bravely risking further torture on the one hand and continuing to live like one of his jailer’s dogs on the other, it’s difficult not to choke back tears.

Half the fun of A Song of Ice and Fire comes from the shocking deaths, impossible resurrections and discarded disguises — many of which aren’t obvious on your first trip through the book. Martin has constructed the story on two levels — one for the reader powering through to the tragic, deliberately Shakespearean finale, another for that same reader going back to find what he missed.

While you’re waiting, reread. (c) 2011, Newsday.

All’s well that ends well

arry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 is a rare gift.

Long-running film franchises generally either fade away or leave fans hanging. Director David Yates takes advantage of the opportunity to close the book on this series by creating a film finale that embraces deep emotional moments with the same passion that it celebrates huge action sequences.

That combination makes the final offering magical.

Part 2 picks up with the showdown of the forces of good — driven on by young wizard Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) — and evil Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes). The previously tranquil grounds of Hogwarts become the setting for the clash between these forces that’s waged with great grandeur.

The smartest thing the filmmakers did was to divide the final book into two movies. What on the surface looked like a ploy to milk a few more bucks out of the loyal fans, turned out to be two very different movies — each with a different strength.

Part 1 found its power in the close relationship of the three main characters played out by taking the magical elements into the real world.

Part 2 is more of an action film that occasionally takes a deep breath to allow for the touchstone emotional moments of the story. Under a less-seasoned

W

innie the Pooh, Disney’s latest film revival of A.A. Milne’s “willy, nilly, silly old bear,” is longer on charm than it is on laughs.

Or length. But it’s a treat for children making their first trek to the multiplex and for parents and grandparents with fond memories of the Hundred Acre Wood.

This Pooh is a musical homage to the 1960s Pooh short films, adding new songs (by Book of Mormon composer Robert Lopez and Kristen AndersonLopez) and a lovely revival of the “Winnie the Pooh” title tune, winsomely sung by Zooey Deschanel. And if the animation doesn’t have quite the hand-colored warmth of those older cel-animated classics, it more than does justice to the world’s favorite “tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff.”

hand, these two elements would have fought each other like students from Gryffindor and Slytherin.

But Yates blends it all so smoothly that the very different tones support each other.

There’s a tendency in films with this much fantasy and fighting to overlook strong acting efforts. That would be a sin in a film with such talent. Alan Rickman continues with his work as Severus Snape and proves he’s an acting treasure; Ralph Fiennes manages to turn in an amazing performance despite his face being hidden behind so much makeup and special effects.

The key is Radcliffe, who has matured as an actor with each film. His growth has been the anchor to all of the films and it’s never been more obvious than in this finale.

There are two emotional scenes that are so pivotal to the movie any misstep would have sent the entire production into rubble. Radcliffe — under the continued sturdy directing hand of Yates — plays these scenes with grace, conviction and just the right amount of sentimentality.

It’s difficult to talk about the movie without giving away the culmination of major points that have been percolating since the first film debuted a decade ago. If you’ve read the books, just know that the film reflects a deep loyalty to J.K. Rowling’s original writings.

The film’s only tiny weakness is that there are a few scenes of extended dialogue that create some slow spots. These points were unnecessary because at this point in the film series, it’s only the Harry Potter-educated who will pack theaters and they need no lengthy explanations.

That’s only a tiny flaw in a film that takes every advantage of bringing the franchise to a proper conclusion. This may be the end of the film series, but just know with this well-crafted finale, all is well with Harry Potter. (c) 2011, The Fresno Bee (Fresno, Calif.).

Where’s the honey?

by Roger Moore Co-writer/directors Stephen Anderson (Meet the Robinsons) and Don Hall, with the help of five other credited screenwriters, emphasize Pooh’s literary roots, making Winnie work his way through paragraphs and pages of words — literal words that collapse into piles of letters at Pooh’s bidding.

“Is there honey in this paragraph?”

There had better be, because “I am a bear of very little brain, and long words bother me,” he sighs. Voice actor Jim Cummings does a great impersonation of the late Sterling Holloway, the original Pooh, as well as the late Paul

Winchell, the original voice of Tigger.

The story is as simple as any Pooh picture. The bear is out of honey, “and a Pooh bear takes care of his tummy.” But Pooh also has “a very important thing to do.” Sad old Eeyore (voiced by Bud Luckey) has lost his tail, and the manic Rabbit (Tom Kenny) and verbose Owl (Craig Ferguson) make various plans and proposals for rounding up a replacement.

Eeyore is all about the puns this time out. A balloon as a substitute tail? “I’m still up in the air about it.”

There’s a lovely little chalkboard animation interlude, some mild moments of alarm as Owl misreads “Back Soon” on Christopher Robin’s note as “Backson,” a beast that must have kidnapped the little boy who usually solves their problems for them. And Pooh sings, especially when he hallucinates about his favorite

treat — “Everything is Honey.”

It’s a funnier, more sophisticated and more nostalgic trip to the woods than Pooh’s Heffalump Movie or the most recent Tigger and Piglet pictures.

The messages sink in about childish forgetfulness and putting the needs of others ahead of your own honey lust.

Mainly, though, it’s nice to see that Disney wants to introduce tykes to the magic of going to the movies with family fare this gentle and warm.

As always, Pooh stars in a very short movie, the idea being that like his youngest fans, he doesn’t have the attention span to carry a full-length feature.

But this Winnie the Pooh is augmented by a delightful 2-D animated short, “The Ballad of Nessie,” a fanciful version of how the Loch Ness Monster came to create Loch Ness. “Nessie” is narrated in Dr. Seuss-style rhymes by Scottish comic Billy Connolly.

Throughout grief and pain she teaches her family to remain open and loving. At Denver FilmCenter/Colfax. — Denver Film Society Friends with Benefits Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis play young professionals too busy for relationships — and willing to ignore the sage advice of recently preceding romantic comedies like No Strings Attached — who undertake a sex-only relationship in this rom-com that pokes fun at other rom-coms.

Danette Randall talks sweet to Boulder Weekly

by Sarah Simmons Sarah Simmons

ven surrounded by all the activity inside the CW2 studio early on a Monday morning, Dessert Diva Danette Randall finds peace doing what she loves: baking.

With the morning news segment taping live, Randall works in a darkened corner of the studio on a rolling kitchen preparation table separating her ingredients for her 8:35 a.m. segment. After a five-minute warning, her table is rolled to her segment space and she checks her lipstick one last time.

The only keting and media exposure helped give the business segments that make her feel uneasy are the ones a solid footing when it was just starting out. where she has to stand still while interviewing.

“She’s very easy to work with and very easy to “I don’t have to think that much because I know get along with,” Powers says. “Once (co-owner Rod

Dupen and I) got started thinking about this waffle idea, her name came into our head as someone to talk to as a resource. She gives us a little more credibility, especially since we had just started out.”

Randall’s knowledge of the food business didn’t begin with an expensive education or even in her mother’s kitchen. Rather, it stemmed from the enjoyment she found through expressing her creativity, something she discovered while living on the East Coast.

“I ended up working and living with these two gay guys, and they were such good cooks and everything was a presentation,” she says. “Every time there was a dinner party or people over, every one was always so happy because they could make even a turkey sandwich and potato chips look good. It was always about presentation and garnish. I really became interested and wanted them to show me things.”

Wanting to learn more about the intricacies and details involved with cooking encouraged Randall to start experimenting with recipes and helped her land her first restaurant job at age 22 in New Jersey.

Randall says even though she began in the front of the house, she loved being involved so much that she worked her way up on staff, ultimately helping run the restaurant.

“I just loved the atmosphere, the stress of it,” Randall says. “It’s fun, but it’s also stressful. That’s when I knew that I wanted to be involved with food. Plus, I’m a yapper, so I got to talk to people and really liked that.” see SWEET TALK Page 43

Y

ippee! I got an invitation to a pool party from a lovely Boulder Weekly reader. They remembered my request for a boat ride last year and thought this was the next best thing. How nice was that? It did however, just like my bikini, come with strings attached.

You guessed it — I have to bring the desserts, four to five to be exact.

I think I can handle that for a day of lounging and cocktailing by the pool. This had better not be a little blow up or above-the-ground pool. If that’s the case, all I’m bringing is four different types of Jell-o. (That will show ’em!)

For now, I will think positive and put this tasty little recipe in the mix for the pool party. Triple Berry Spoon Cake. This is such a delicious treat, I could eat it all day long. (Bad idea for swimsuit season.)

This is somewhere in between a crisp and a pound cake. The cake portion really holds up with all the delicious berry drippings, a somewhat sturdy cake. Who doesn’t sit around salivating about a “sturdy” cake?

Imagine, if you will, a buttery cake that doesn’t fall apart, but melts in your mouth soaking up all the berry juice. See what I’m talking about?

Sturdy = very, very good!

The berries and the cake cling together like they have known each other forever. I guess that’s appropriate for a spoon cake. I’m sure the berries would be hurt if the cake didn’t want to spoon after getting all hot and steamy in the oven. You know how sensitive berries can be. I’m using strawberries, blackberries and raspberries. You could use any berry combo you want. Blueberries would be delish. I just opted for my favorite little blackberry instead. Mixing some berries with peaches or plums is also a nice combo.

I can picture this dessert all finished, dolloped with some whipped cream or maybe a scoop of ice cream, placed on a nice picnic table covered with a red checkered table cloth — so summer! Yes, I’m living in Leave it to Beaver land (or chuckwagon dinner land), but I don’t mind.

I hope my soon-to-be new friend has the same ideas as I do. Although, as long as the pool is rocking and there are wine spritzers to wash down the spoon cake, he can serve it up on a TV tray for all I care. As long as he doesn’t want to spoon, of course.

Now, follow the directions, put some love into it, and invite me over when it’s done.

Triple Berry Spoon Cake 12 ounces blackberries 12 ounces raspberries 16 ounces strawberries (stems off, cut in half ) 1 tbsp. cornstarch 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Cake Batter 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour 3/4 cup granulated sugar 1 tsp. baking powder 1/4 tsp. salt 1/2 cup milk (I used 2 percent) 2 eggs 1/2 tsp. almond extract zest from one medium orange 3/4 cup unsalted butter (melted) Preheat oven to 350.

In large bowl, combine berries, cornstarch and sugar. Toss to coat, set aside.

In another large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

Sift. Add in milk, eggs, almond extract and orange zest. Mix until batter is well combined. Add in melted butter, and stir until smooth.

Pour berry mixture into 9-inchby-13-inch baking pan. Pour cake batter over berries. Leave some fruit peeking out. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until cake is golden brown and fruit is bubbling. Let cool for at least an hour.

Serve at room temperature or cold from refrigerator. Top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Enjoy!

SWEET TALK from Page 40

Creating connections with regulars and families in a restaurant setting inspired Randall to co-own a restaurant when she moved to Colorado.

Randall was a part of the now-closed Soda Rock Café, a soda shop-type location near Washington Park in Denver.

“I like the connection with the people, and I like the creative outlet it gives you to make choices,” she says.

“You know, you get to come up with the menu and do fun stuff — basically making people happy and making something they love.”

Despite the positive connections and feedback Randall says she receives, she’s realistic: Not every encounter with readers and viewers is a positive one.

Boulder Weekly

Once after being recognized while dining out with her friends, she was approached by a family that said they loved watching her segment. The woman shared how she loved to make her recipes, then told Randall how it looked as though Randall had gained weight.

“I said, ‘Well, I’m the dessert diva!

I have to test all my product to know it’s right,’” Randall says.

While Randall doesn’t plan on owning her own storefront anytime soon, her existing partnerships with those in the food business will likely continue, she says, since her passion for baking only grows stronger.

“I’m engulfed in sugar,” Randall says. “I feel like I have a sweet tooth just coursing through my veins.”

over the free pamphlets in an outdoor store, take an outdoor class or earn your first Scouting merit badge, and you’ll hear about “The Ten Essentials.”

“The Ten Essentials” is a classic list put together in the 1930s that has had many variations over the years but continues to be the standard for any backcountry excursion: a map, a compass, sun protection, extra clothing, rain gear, headlamp, a first aid kit, a lighter and a fire starter, a knife and extra food.

It’s a list that lets an outdoor person head into the backcountry with a bit more confidence and prepared for what the mountains may have in store.

But, like any classic, there are some variations that can be had that will add more utility, versatility and functionality. Call them the “Five More Essentials.”

GEAR GUIDE

NEW THIS YEAR! BUY EARLY & SAVE!!

T

First aid to go

he Comprehensive Medical Kit includes everything a camper on an extended trip would ever need.

The kit includes materials for stopping bleeding, cleaning and dressing wounds; splints and triangular bandage for immobilizing broken bones; medications for treating pain, heart attack symptoms and diarrhea; allergic reactions; as well as medication for treating symptoms associated with diabetic shock.

The key to the kit is its system of organization — called Easy Care. Designed a by an ER doctor to mimic the trays used in an emergency room setting, the Easy Care system groups all hospital quality components into clearly marked pockets (wound care, burn, blister, bleeding, etc.) — so it’s easy to find the exact materials you need in a hurry, which matters if the person you’re treating is in critical condition.

Each pocket also comes with an illustrated bilingual instructional card, which guides users — even novices without first aid training — on how to confidently provide treatment for a specific injury or ailment. The kit also comes with an easy-to-read first aid book, called A Comprehensive Guide to Wilderness & Travel Medicine, written by Eric A. Weiss, M.D., associate director of trauma at Stanford University Medical Hospital, that expands on the information contained in the cards.

The kit is also suitable for consumers’ 72-hour disaster supply kits. The Comprehensive Kit is available for $190 at www.adventuremedicalkits.com or www.rei.com. (c) 2011, McClatchy-Tribune Information Services ESSENTIALS from Page 47

Duct tape — One wag described duct tape as being like The Force: It has a light side. It has a dark side. And it holds the universe together. While it may not quite hold the universe together, it does hold together punctured tents, protects hot spots from forming blisters, plugs a leak in a water bladder, seals up ripped down jackets and holds shoes together until the trailhead can be reached. Wrap some duct tape around your water bottle, a lighter or your ski/ trekking poles. It still comes in classic gray along with elegant black, forest green, sky blue and flamingo pink among other colors for the fashion conscious.

Bandanna — One of the few cotton items usually carried into the backcountry. Use it as a sweatband, a wash cloth, or extra sun protection when worn Foreign Legion style. Or use it to wipe moisture off your ski skins, as a pot grip or a small bit of modesty on National Nude Hiking Day (be sure to use the sun protection mentioned in the classic 10 essentials). These are among the many uses of this versatile item.

Resealable plastic bags — Can you imagine bagging your gorp, making a first aid kit, sorting out your various knick-knacks and packing your Sugary Powdery Drink Mix of choice without

these modern wonders? Me neither.

Wash them out and reuse them to get both dirt-bagger and green-friendly cred.

Dental floss and a needle — Besides making sure that no gorp is stuck in your teeth, dental floss makes extremely strong thread. Sew up a pack strap, fix a tear in your jacket, and sew up a hole in your glove. Home Ec class taught you to sew. Your dentist wants you to floss daily. Combine the two for an emergency repair kit that does not make the prettiest repairs but is better than schlepping a pack with one strap over a high mountain pass.

Cable ties, aka zip ties — Carry a few in your pack for quick repairs.

Snowshoe decking, lashing items in a pinch and a temporary repair of a ski binding are just a few of the uses that this inexpensive and light item has been known to fix in the best MacGyver style.

Finally, there is one essential item for after the trip: a bottle opener.

Because a cooler full of your favorite beer stashed in your car for the end of the trip is awesome. Forgetting the bottle opener? Not so much. (And while canned beer can be good, life is too short for limiting available options).

Boulder Weekly

astrology boulderweekly.com/astrology ARIES

March 21-April 19:

I dreamed you were in a cake store. Every delicious kind of cake you could imagine was there: carrot cake, strawberry cheesecake, gooey butter cake, rich chocolate cake with four layers of cherries and whipped cream, birthday cakes that must have been baked in paradise. Sadly, there was a problem: You weren’t allowed to buy anything, even though you had enough money. A big sign on the wall said, simply, “Absolutely no cakes available for Aries.” What do you think my dream means? More importantly, what are you going to do about the situation? I suggest that in my next dream, you get a friend to buy a cake for you. Either that, or go to a different cake store. One way or another, the astrological omens say it’s high time for you get the cake you want.

TAURUS

April 20-May 20:

Fill in the blanks, Taurus. Don’t let the blanks remain vacant and barren any longer. Don’t allow them to keep screaming at you with their accusatory silence. Just fill in the freaking blanks with whatever you’ve got to fill them with — with your best guesses, with borrowed mojo, with any miscellaneous material you have at hand. I realize you may be tempted to wait around for a supposedly more ideal moment. But I’m here to tell you that this is as ideal as it gets. So please express the hell out of yourself in the empty spaces, my dear; create yourself anew in the void — however improvisational or inexact it might feel.

GEMINI

May 21-June 20:

“Do you know how to resolve an unresolvable paradox?” asked a Facebook friend named Pi. He answered his own question: “You figure out the ‘error’ in the initial premise or assumption.” And that’s my prescription for you this week, Gemini. Do not be tempted to bang your head against the wall so as to shake loose a non-existent answer to the wrong question. Instead, stop yourself in the middle of your angst and think: “What would be a more productive way to formulate the riddle I need to untangle?”

CANCER June 21-July 22:

An innovative job-seeker named Travis Broyles put an ad on Craigslist in Atlanta. Among the tasks he said he would perform for money were the following: draw your face on a balloon; email you a list of 250 things he likes about you; build you a cardboard car and make vroom-vroom sounds while you drive it; change his political leanings; rename your Pokemon; or provide you with star treatment for a month, hiding in the bushes like a paparazzi and taking candid photos of you. I recommend that you come up with your own version of a list like this, Cancerian. It will help stimulate your imagination about what gifts you have to offer the world, which is exactly what the astrological omens are suggesting.

LEO

July 23-Aug. 22:

As I ponder your immediate future, I’m reminded of a scene from the animated TV show The Simpsons. Here’s the situation: While visiting the home of a colleague, the superintendent of schools is surprised to witness an anomalous outbreak of spectacular light. “Aurora Borealis?” he exclaims.

“At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within your kitchen?” “Yes,” replies the colleague. I suspect that you will soon enjoy a metaphorically comparable visitation, Leo.

VIRGO

Aug. 23-Sept. 22:

My astrological colleague Antero Alli praises the value of anxiety. He says that when you feel that unsettling emotion, it’s because you’re experiencing more uncertainty than you like to — and that can be a good thing. It could mean you’re about to experience the fertility that comes from wading into the unknown. An outbreak of novelty may be imminent, giving you the chance to welcome interesting surprises into your life. In fact, says Alli, the anxiety that comes from unpredictable mysteries may herald the arrival of an influx of creativity.

LIBRA

Sept. 23-Oct. 22

“The I Ching counsels that if we are associating with others who are not our true peers,” says astrologer Caroline Casey, “our real allies cannot find us.” Please apply this test to yourself, Libra. If, after taking inventory, you find that your circle is largely composed of cohorts and comrades

Boulder Weekly

who match your levels of vitality and intelligence, that will be excellent news; it will signal an opportunity to begin working on an upgraded version of your social life that will increase your access to synergy and symbiosis even further.

But if your survey reveals that you’re hanging out too much with people whose energy doesn’t match yours, it will be time for a metamorphosis.

SCORPIO Oct. 23-Nov. 21:

There’s a lot of graffiti scrawled in a variety of languages on St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City. A fairly recent arrival is a plea, in English, to resuscitate a defunct American TV sitcom. “God, Bring back Arrested Development,” the guerrilla prayer reads. According to my reading of the astrological omens, Scorpio, now would be a good time for you to be equally cheeky in promoting one of your pet causes. Consider the possibility of taking your case to a higher authority. To fight for what’s right, you may have to make your mark in a place whose sphere of influence is bigger than yours.

SAGITTARIUS Nov. 22-Dec. 21:

Do you stare for hours every day into little screens like those on smart phones, computer monitors and TVs? If so, I recommend that you tear your gaze away from them more than usual in the coming week. A change in your brain chemistry needs to happen, and one good way to accomplish it will be to feast your eyes on vast panoramas and expansive natural scenes. Doing so will invigorate your thinking about the design and contours of your own destiny, and that would be in sweet alignment with the astrological omens. So catch regular views of the big picture, Sagittarius. Treat clouds and birds and stars as if they were restorative messages from the wide-open future. Gaze lovingly at the big sky.

CAPRICORN Dec. 22-Jan. 19:

A Facebook friend posted a quote by seminal psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud: “Being entirely honest with oneself is a worthwhile exercise.” In response, another Facebooker named Dean Robinson disagreed: “Oh, I say let yourself have a little denial and touch base with reality on a needto-know basis.” Another respondent named Paulie Cerra took that sentiment one step further: “Reality and I have an understanding. I don’t mess with it, and it doesn’t mess with me.” Which of those three approaches are you inclined to pursue, Capricorn? In light of the current astrological omens, I suggest you try the first one for at least the next two weeks.

AQUARIUS Jan. 20-Feb. 18:

You really need to tell your stories. It’s not just a good idea; it’s downright urgent. There’s a backlog of unexpressed narratives clogging up your depths. It’s like you have become too big of a secret to the world. The unvented pressure is building up, threatening to implode. So please find a graceful way to share the narratives that are smoldering inside you — with the emphasis on the word “graceful.” I don’t want your tales to suddenly erupt like a volcano all over everything at the wrong time and place. You need a receptive audience and the proper setting.

PISCES

Feb. 19-March 20:

Piscean actor Javier Bardem said this to Parade magazine: “I don’t know if I’ll get to heaven. I’m a bad boy. Heaven must be nice, but is it too boring? Maybe you can get an apartment there and then go to hell for the weekends.” I caution all you other Pisceans against pursuing this line of thought in the coming weeks. You may imagine that you can get away with sneaking away to hell for just a couple of days a week, but I don’t share that optimism. My advice is to rack your brains to drum up as much adventure as possible in safety zones and sanctuaries where you know for sure you’ll stay healthy and sane.

Rather than burning the herb, which produces irritating, toxic, and carcinogenic by-products, a vaporizer heats the material in a vacuum so that the active compounds contained in the plant boil off into a vapor. The vapor contains virtually zero tar and is significantly lower in concentrations of noxious gasses such as carbon monoxide. We carry a full line of vaporizers from all major manufacturers.

If you are looking for a safer way to medicate we’ve got you covered
