Oil trains story is the talk of town

We were just discussing this [Re: “Oil Boom,” Cover Story, July 24] at our Historical East Side Neighborhood meeting in Longmont. That’s the area that the tracks run through. I would say it’s more like four to 10 trains per day than per week. On top of the danger, the nuisance of the train whistle has increased due to what we perceive as increased traffic. None of us has a clue what to do about it, but the article was timely. Sean Milano/via Internet

Highroad Who’s pushing to impeach President Obama? by Jim Hightower

erhaps you thought that, surely, partisan posturing by far-right congress critters couldn’t get any nuttier. But now comes the GOP’s claim that all the talk about impeaching President Barack Obama is being led by — guess who? — Barack Obama! The top Republican leader, John Boehner (having discovered that the larger public is appalled that his party would even consider wasting time on such extremist

nonsense) tried to do a political backflip. Impeachment talk, he fumed, is “a scam started by Democrats at the White House.” No Republican lawmakers, he barked to the media, are even discussing it. Boehner, Boehner, Boehner — did you not hear Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana, who’s number two on your own GOP leadership team, tell Fox News that he refuses to rule out impeachment? Or Rep. Kerry Bentivolio of Michigan, exult that “it would be a dream come true” to impeach Obama, and that he has pursued advice on how to proceed? Or Iowa’s Steve King, saying flatly, “We need to bring impeachment hearings immediately.” How about Randy Weber of Texas, who put it unequivocally: “The President deserves to be impeached, plain and simple.” And Georgia’s Jack Kingston confirmed that: “Not a day goes by when people don’t talk to us about impeachment.” Still, Boehner received some back-up

on his disclaimer from tea party radio ranter Glenn Beck, who echoed the Speaker’s ridiculous assertion that no one in the GOP has given a moment’s thought to impeachment: “Have you spoken to one person [pushing such an idea],” he demanded in a recent broadcast. “No one” has used the I-word, he snapped. But, in fact, Beck does know one person who has: Himself! Also, Sarah Palin! And at least a dozen others.

o what went wrong with ballot measures 88 and 89? How could these popular citizen’s initiatives written to give local communities more control over drilling and fracking in their neighborhoods have failed to get on the ballot? Well, the first mistake Colorado citizens made was they trusted a politician, Congressman Jared Polis, to help them with their cause. Polis formed a greensounding organization, which wrote ballot initiatives 88 and 89 and paid the signature gatherers for their amazing efforts, which culminated in more than 260,000 signatures being gathered, more than enough to put both measures before the voters in November. In fact, Polis was so effective in his efforts that his organization sucked up all the anti-fracking energy in the state, causing other local-control ballot measures which were written and put forward by actual grassroots activists to be withdrawn. They couldn’t compete with Polis’ money or his organization. And why should they compete, they all wanted the same thing, right? And so began the Polis show. And what a show it turned out to be. In the final act, a funny thing happened on the way to the Secretary of State’s office to turn in those quarter of a million signatures from Colorado residents who wanted to protect their families and communities from oil and

gas industry contamination; Polis traded them for a bag of magic beans. Actually, the beans would have been a better deal. Polis traded them for nothing that had anything to do with fracking or local control over industrial activities. Sure he says we’ll get a panel, not just any panel mind you, but a “blue” effing “ribbon panel” appointed by Governor Hickenlooper. I know, those magic beans are sounding pretty good about now. Oh, and the state will stop suing Longmont. Does that mean Longmont gets to keep its ban on fracking? No. So what does it mean? Nothing. So why did Polis suddenly, without warning or even a conversation with the people who had worked so tirelessly to put local control over polluting industrial activities to a democratic vote, steal and destroy arguably the most important ballot measures in state history? That’s the real question that has yet to be answered candidly and why this issue is too important to leave to the column of a frustrated editor. I believe that what really happened to Colorado citizens and their signatures, is that they were traded like a damn commodity at the national level. I suspect that the Democratic Party and a number of major environmental groups at the national level were far see DYERTIMES Page 10

members of the Continental Army. They were civilian combatants. Partisans in occupied countries would be another example. They aren’t fighting as members of a national army, but they are nonetheless fighters. They too are civilian combatants. There are other catagories of civilians who participate in wars: Civilians working in defense plants, for example, or on-military members of a revolutionary movement who serve as community organizers and provide judicial and social services. Are they civilians? Yes. Are they civilian combatants? No. Are they innocent civilians? No. The proper way to characterize them is complicit civilians. Civilian combatants and complicit civilians differ from innocent civilians — civilians who have no connection to the war effort — in that they can expect to be targeted if the other side has the ability to do so. They don’t have the immunity from attack that innocent civilians are entitled to. Which brings us to Gaza and Hamas. Hamas has about 15,000 full-time fighters, police and security service members who can plausibly be described as military combatants. It also has thousands of part-time militia members who can be quickly mobilized to serve as civilian combatants. And it has tens of thousands of civilian cadre who serve as a civil service, make weapons and dig tunnels — complicit civilians, in other words. Hamas claims that most of the casualties in the latest Gaza war are civilians. It’s indisputable that there are a large number of civilian casualties in Gaza. That can’t be helped, given Hamas’ strategy of implanting its military infrastructure like a tumor in civilian areas. But it doesn’t mean that all civilian casualties in Gaza are innocents. There are plenty, probably hundreds, of dead who were civilian participants in the war. This is particularly likely in the city of Rafah on the Gaza-Egyptian border, where there have been several reports of “whole families” being killed when buildings were bombed. Rafah is the Gaza terminus of many of the smuggling tunnels from Egypt. These tun-

uring the Afghan and Iraq wars, stories would occasionally move on the wires announcing the deaths of “contractors.” The stories usually went to pains to point out that the deceased were “civilian contractors.” What was often missing from these stories was any mention of the circumstances of their deaths or of what the contractors had been hired to do. That was because their mission generally did not involve digging wells or installing sewer lines. The “contractor’s” business was security — or more plainly war. They worked for companies like Blackwater security and, among other things, served as armed guards for U.S. civilian personnel like American civil administrator Paul Bremer and scores of State Department operatives who negotiated with tribal leaders. They were frequently involved in combat. Much of what they did would have been done by Army or Marine troops if the Pentagon hadn’t “contracted” for their services. They were well-paid; some of them made more than $100,000 a year. They were very skilled at what they did. Many had served in the special forces before returning to civilian life and joining Blackwater. So were they really civilians? They were not members of the U.S. military or any other military fighting in Iraq or Afganistan, so yes, strictly speaking they were civilians. But they were not innocent civilian bystanders. The proper way to describe them would be “civilian combatants.” There is nothing particularly unusual about civilians fighting in wars alongside full-time militaries. Such civilian participation can take a host of different forms, and it has been going on for centuries. It is particularly common in wars of national liberation. Take the American Revolution, for example. Shortly after the war began, the Continental Congress created a national army, but much of the fighting during the war was done by militias, who took up arms only when there was an immediate local threat. They were called “Minute Men.” The first shots for American independence were fired by them at Lexington and Concord. So were the Minute Men civilians? Most of the time they were. But when they took up arms they were not

more concerned with keeping a Dem as governor in a state that is barely blue and hanging on to Mark Udall’s Senate seat and his critical swing vote on the Keystone XL Pipeline than they were about fracking in neighborhoods in Colorado. In fact, most Democrats and environmental groups at the national level are still operating on decades-old science that says natural gas can be a safe bridge fuel to a sustainable future. I’m guessing there are no 67-well production platforms inside the beltway spewing 140,000 tons of VOC’s a year across a kindergarten playground. That’s too bad. Democracy in Colorado took a hit last Monday and it’s going to take a while to nail down exactly what occurred. But I promise that this paper will do everything possible to expose the real power players, other than Polis and Hickenlooper, behind this betrayal of Colorado voters. Perhaps this incident will serve as a reminder to all, that change can only occur at the grassroots level. The people of a town or a county and maybe someday a state can make a difference, they can change the laws, they can join hands to protect their homes and families. When national environmental organizations and party politics get involved, community-altering issues like drilling and fracking become little more than photo ops and fundraising opportunities for the environmental glitterati and their

political counterparts in Congress. I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty tired of a handful of people who think they know what’s best for the environment and our communities manipulating our local democratic process to push their political agendas. And besides, these cowards got it all wrong this time. They were afraid that Udall and Hickenlooper would lose in November because Republicans would turn out in greater numbers to oppose measures 88 and 89. They caved to this fear and Polis sold out his constituents even though the polling showed that both measures had a good chance of winning despite the spending disparity. It may well backfire. The apathy that Polis and the people who have his ear have now created among progressives who would have turned out at the polls to vote for the measures in record numbers will do far more to undermine Udall’s and Hickenlooper’s reelection bids than anything the measures would have done for Republican turnout. In the end, millions of Colorado voters, Democrats, Republicans, Independents and others, lost their right to have their voices heard because a small handful of politically powerful men and woman are afraid of democracy. That’s the real deal behind this betrayal. So stay tuned, I suspect there is much more to come. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

DANISH from Page 9

nels were often private businesses that were dug and operated by extended families with the entrances under their homes. The owners of those homes may have been civilians, but they weren’t innocent bystanders. Hamas makes no such distinctions when reporting civilian casualties, because its best chance for victory is by using them to fan international outrage against Israel in the hope that it will force Israel to discontinue its campaign. The international press reporting from Gaza rarely makes such a distinction either — not necessarily because it is anti-Israel, although some of it clearly is, but because reporters who reported it would run a real risk of being expelled or even killed by Hamas. Hamas doesn’t have much use for “fair and balanced.” If the reporters for international news organizations cannot report candidly from Gaza, and they can’t, those organizations should at least have the integrity to reveal to their readers and 10 August 7, 2014

viewers the limitations under which their correspondents are working. Failure to do so constitutes serious bias. It is interesting, and damning, that in reporting from Syria news organizations like the BBC, CNN and other TV news outlets routinely report that video shot by Syrian rebels showing attacks on civilians “cannot be verified,” which is true enough, but which essentially discredits evidence of the war crimes of the Assad regime. But the same networks include no such disclaimers on reports from Gaza. Everything Hamas says is reported as holy writ. The question for Hamas, which is rarely asked and never answered, is who is a civilian and who is what sort of a civilian.” The question for the press, which is also rarely asked and never answered, is who is an anti-Semite?

Protestors confront Rep. Jared Polis at Meadows Branch Library in Boulder.

Citizens lash out at Polis by Matt Cortina

n Monday, U.S. Representative Jared Polis (D-Boulder) and Governor John Hickenlooper agreed to drop two ballot initiatives that would have given communities more control over fracking in their towns and would have required oil and gas wells to be set at least 2,000 feet away from occupied structures. Monday was the final day to submit petitions for ballot items and both Amendment 88 (the setback rule) and 89 (the Environmental Bill of Rights) had more than enough signatures to make the ballot — 263,000 total. Instead of going forward with the two initiatives, Polis and Hickenlooper announced that they would drop them in favor of establishing a committee that would determine Colorado oil and gas drilling regulations. Hickenlooper would appoint the 18-member task force, which will be headed by La Plata County Commissioner Gwen Lachelt (D) and Randy Cleveland, president of XTO Energy Inc., an oil and gas producer. The compromise also pulls from the ballot two pro-industry initiatives, 121 and 137. And, the state’s Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) would drop one of its lawsuits against the city of Longmont but does not affect a lawsuit filed by the COGCC, the Colorado Oil and Gas Association, and oil and gas producer TOP Operating against the city for their voter-approved ban on fracking. Despite the announcement, Amendment 88 and the two pro-industry initiatives were still submitted to the Colorado Secretary of State office and neither side has actually rescinded those petitions yet. Polis said Amendment 89 (the Environmental Bill of Rights) did not have enough signatures and was not submitted — even though it had 120,000 signatures, 33,000 more signatures than required. Polis was likely referring to the fact that the petition did not have enough signatures to ensure passage of the initiative. Also, some canvassers told Boulder Weekly that they were asked to stop soliciting Boulder Weekly

signatures days before the deadline. Then on Tuesday, Polis spoke with more than 100 protestors and fracking activists at the Meadows Branch Library in Boulder. Polis told the crowd that this was not the time for a ballot initiative — 2016 would be better, he said — but that he supports the cause of the initiatives. “My position is communities should be able to choose whether they have fracking or not,” Polis told protestors. “This will likely mean we will have a fracking initiative at some time. I will stand in support of environmental initiatives that give cities and counties the ability to ban or to have restrictions on fracking in their area.” Polis said the compromise was made because the pro-fracking ballot initiatives could cause damage to the antifracking movement. “There were two pro-fracking initiatives: one would deny all severance tax revenue from any city or county that had any restrictions on fracking,” Polis said. “The second was actually more pernicious for the progressive movement at large: Every future ballot initiative would have the fiscal note cost right at the top of the ballot initiative. Frankly a lot of us feared that could pass and set back education funding and set back anything else we want to work on in the future.” Josh Fox, director of anti-fracking documentary Gasland, also attended the event and said he spoke with Polis earlier in the day, asking him to turn this issue into a national conversation. “I feel this is the forefront of the environmental movement,” Fox said. “One of the primary places it’s happening is in Colorado and you guys are leading the charge here.” “We are being excluded time and time again by backroom deal after backroom deal that says, somehow, someone in power can negotiate their way out of the democratic process. I’m seeing this over and over again but I’m seeing citizen resistance becoming stronger,” Fox said. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

Market share chemical warfare by Caitlin Rockett

ast summer, June 17 to be exact, one of the volunteers on Margot McMillen’s organic farm in Auxvasse, Missouri noticed something funny about the grapes. When McMillen and her husband saw the vines, they thought it was a fungus or a bacteria or virus, so they did what they always do when that sort of thing happens and mixed up a mild vinegar solution to spray on the plants. “It usually impedes it or maybe stops it,” says McMillen, who’s run Terra Bella Farm for more than a decade. “It usually has some effect you notice pretty fast ... It’s not a complete cure but at least you feel like you’ve gotten a hold on it.” Little did the couple know they would lose their entire grape crop that year. That year they joined a growing group of farmers across the nation losing crops to herbicidal drift from nearby (or not so nearby) conventional farms growing genetically engineered, herbicide-resistant crops. The biotechnology behind these crops has created a culture of single tactic weed management that has placed farmers on an “herbicide treadmill,” using more chemicals than ever as weeds have developed resistance to the gold standard of herbicides, Monsanto’s Roundup. Now we’ve entered the era of “superweeds” that have become resistant to glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup. In response to this rash of glyphosate-resistant weeds, Big Ag companies are stepping up their game and developing crops that are genetically modified to have resistance to multiple herbicides. Environmentalists, activists, scientists and farmers across the nation have cried foul, stating that the new crops will do nothing but increase dependence on herbicides and the chance of even more herbicide resistant weeds. And those are just the environmental hazards. But Big Ag denies there’s a problem, and it looks like U.S. regulatory agencies agree, one by one giving companies the green light to move forward with pesticides known to cause cancer, disrupt hormones and destroy nonBoulder Weekly

GMO crops. Today, the treadmill is moving faster as companies try to stay ahead of the curve. It’s market-share chemical warfare.

RESISTING CHANGE For nearly 20 years, Monsanto has secured its place at the head of the agricultural biotech table with their series of Roundup Ready seeds, genetically engineered crops able to withstand being doused with the herbicide glyphosate multiple times a year — crops live, weeds die. Simple as that. Soybeans, corn, alfalfa, cotton, spring and winter canola, and sugar beets are all part of the Roundup Ready catalog. “In 1997 or thereabouts, with the advent of [Monsanto’s] herbicide tolerant technology, a lot of growers figured they’d died and gone to heaven,” says Garry Hamlin, a spokesperson for Dow AgroSciences, another of the key companies in the Big Ag world. “It was transformative. It became such a big and overwhelmingly attractive option

for them, even with other methods for weed control, they were inclined to do the same thing over and over.” Namely, plant Roundup Ready crops and drench their fields in glyphosate. This has made Monsanto the world’s largest seed company and a household name in the debate over the safety of genetically modified organisms. According to research from the International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science and Technology for Development, Monsanto currently controls 26 percent of the global seed market. Stateside you’ll be hard pressed to eat anything containing corn or soy that wasn’t grown from Monsanto patented seeds. In 2013, the company claimed $14.9 billion in global sales — the lion’s share of it from their glyphosate-resistant crops. But nature’s got a funny way of outsmarting humans. “As you know,” continues Hamlin, “when you repeat the same playbook, whether it’s antibiotics or herbicides,

you create selective pressure that nature is going to work around, and it’s going to create resistance. In 15 years this is essentially what farmers did,” he says. Glysophate-resistant weeds are now covering more than 60 million acres of farmland across the nation according to a 2013 report from the agrichemical consultant firm Stratus. It’s within this chaos that Dow — who, by comparison, made only $7.1 billion in global sales last year — may have found a way to tip the market scales in their favor. In January of this year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, in a Draft Environmental Impact Statement, said they were in favor of approving Dow’s new genetically engineered corn and soybean seeds, designed for resistance against their signature herbicide, 2,4-D. In the executive summery of the impact statement, the USDA seems to predict catastrophe of apocalyptic proportions should Dow’s 2,4-D crops not come to market. Farmers are “expected” to drastically increase field tillage, which “could” cause increased erosion, negative impacts on soil quality, degrade air and water quality, increase greenhouse gases from more tractor use (thus exacerbating climate change) and threaten biodiversity. But glyphosate’s not out of the picture, and the seeds are only half of the equation. To complement their new seeds, Dow has also developed a combination herbicide containing 2,4-D and glyphosate — together they call the seed-herbicide combination the Enlist Weed Control System. With the Environmental Protection Agency’s initial nod of approval for the herbicide in April, Hamlin says that Dow is anticipating full approvals for both the 2,4-D tolerant seeds and Enlist Duo herbicide in time for the 2015 growing season. Canada has already approved the seeds and herbicide for use. “You understand we’re not trying to replace glyphosate tolerant crop technology — we’re trying to make it sustainable,” says Hamlin. “Sustainable” includes a variety of weed management practices, according to both Hamlin and the USDA. Farmers should choose to rotate crops See CHEMICAL WARFARE Page 14

and herbicides, use cover crops, scout for weeds and conduct some tilling to prevent weeds from flowering. But, reads the USDA impact statement, “The extent to which growers will adopt best management practices is unknown and therefore it is difficult to accurately predict the extent to which 2,4-D resistant weeds will become a problem.” The USDA admits that 2,4-D is already the third most widely used herbicide in the U.S. and if resistance to 2,4-D emerges, farmers would need to modify their management practices — changes that could “increase the complexity and cost of weed management programs for these growers.” So, the feds predict immanent apocalypse if 2,4-D tolerant seeds aren’t approved, but the USDA can’t say exactly what will happen if they are approved. Circular logic abounds. Furthermore, while the EPA hasn’t set forth hard fast rules on post market management, Hamlin says that both the EPA and Dow will have a hand in stewardship. In other words, the very company that makes the herbicide will play a role in making sure farmers use a variety of tactics to manage weeds. As is the case with Roundup, Enlist will allow farmers to spray their entire crop (as opposed to spot treating weeds) with large amounts of 2,4-D multiple times a season without killing the crop. Assessments vary, but the Environmental Working Group estimates that if the EPA green lights Enlist Duo herbicide for commercial use, the use of 2,4-D nationwide could more than triple by 2020, leading to accelerated herbicide resistance and exposing communities near 2,4-D-resistant corn and soybean fields to eight times more 2,4-D than today’s current rates. This in addition to other herbicides that are already being used on crops and in weed management programs for state and county roads, open spaces and ditches. Hamlin argues that 2,4-D has been registered in the U.S. since 1948 and is currently registered in about 70 different countries worldwide. Currently regulated herbicidal mixtures include 2,4-D and picloram, otherwise known as Agent White, one of the “rainbow” herbicides used to defoliate dense forests in Vietnam. In addition to these regulated formulas, says Hamlin, farmers have had the freedom under the label use conditions to mix herbicides in their spray tanks. “One of the major problems with this particular herbicide and other mixtures that are out there is that the EPA 14 August 7, 2014

“ONE OF THE MAJOR PROBLEMS WE SEE WITH UNIVERSITY RESEARCH IN THIS COUNTRY IS A LOT OF IT IS FUNDED BY INDUSTRY. SOME OF OUR BIG LAND GRANT UNIVERSITIES, WHICH WE WOULD RELY ON FOR OUR BEST RESEARCH ON THE AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRY, ARE OFTEN INFLUENCED HEAVILY BY COMPANIES MAKING THESE PRODUCTS.” — GENNA REED, FOOD AND WATER WATCH

herbicide tolerance. These are things that folks in the academic world would tell you. It’s absolutely essential that farmers have diversified weed management practices,” says Combest, including using technology from competing companies like Dow. But is synergy between two Goliaths better for the Davids of agriculture?

STRANGE VARIATIONS

is only required to go through and look at each active ingredient individually, they aren’t required to look at the combinations of active ingredients,” says Genna Reed, a researcher at the nongovernmental consumer rights group Food and Water Watch. “I think there’s a little over 1,000 actual active ingredients [in all commercial herbicides], and then there’s tens of thousands of [various herbicides], mixes of those ingredients. And all of those products aren’t regulated individually, they are regulated by the active ingredient [in them], which means 2,4-D and glyphosate, how they work together and what that impact will be on health and the environment, is completely unexplored.” Reed explains that it’s not just the active ingredients that she and other environmentalists are concerned with, but the inactive ingredients as well, which make up about 50 percent of most formulations. Regulatory agencies don’t require chemical companies to list these inactive ingredients on labels. “That’s another very scary thing because a lot of the chemicals that go into these herbicide mixes that aren’t the active ingredient are usually … petroleum derived chemicals,” says Reed. “Anything that sort of helps these chemicals to work and is petroleum derived is probably not great for human exposure just generally.” As for human health, research is scant and often contradictory. A significant number of studies — including those conducted by the EPA — have linked 2,4-D with an increase in nonHodgkins lymphoma as well as different developmental and reproductive issues in rats. Part of the research issue is the way herbicide registration is conducted by the EPA. Once a pesticide is registered, it’s registered for 15 years. During this 15 years there is no requirement for further testing. 2,4-D was last reviewed as a carcinogen by the EPA in 2004 before it was reregistered in 2005. “It’s curious that there’s not much

research on herbicides,” says Reed. “I think people view herbicides and pesticides, and people know what they are — they kill things. But we need them for certain things. On every label there’s the amount that can be used safely. 2,4-D used in moderation is okay. It was a great tool to have. What’s going to be happening now is this new generation of growers who will be using it indiscriminately and eliminating it as this useful tool and making it a health issue. Once weeds become resistant to 2,4-D like glyphosate, we’re running out of herbicides — there are none in the pipeline, so all we’ll have is combinations of herbicides. “One of the major problems we see with university research in this country, is a lot of it is funded by industry,” continues Reed. “Some of our big land grant universities, which we would rely on for our best research on the agricultural industry, are often influenced heavily by companies making these products.” In fact, Food and Water Watch published a 20-page report in April 2012 that detailed corporate influence over agricultural research, showing a scary trend that seems to have turned independent university research into a corporate R&D machine. While Dow seems to be climbing out from Monsanto’s looming shadow, Monsanto is still firmly in the game. While slightly behind Dow in the approval process, Monsanto is working to bring their newest creation to the market, Roundup Ready 2 Xtend soybeans and cotton, which, as the name suggests, will be tolerant to glyphosate and another herbicide known as dicamba. John Combest, a spokesperson for Monsanto, echoes sentiments from Hamlin that the two agricultural giants aren’t in competition, but are trying to create synergy that will ultimately help farmers. “We’ve learned a lot more since the mid-90s about how plants select for

While studies on human health may be lacking and research by universities questionable, environmentalist fears aren’t just speculation and conspiracy theories. Farmers around the nation have reported losing crops due to herbicidal drift — just like Margot McMillen’s grapes in Auxvasse, Missouri. McMillen says a friend encouraged her to figure out what was going on with the sickly grapes, so McMillen sent some pictures of the vines to the Missouri Wine and Grape Board who responded quickly that it looked like herbicide damage. Her farm, Terra Bella, does sit among conventional farms growing genetically engineered crops where chemical herbicides are used. When McMillen spoke to her neighbor about what she thought was happening to her grapes, he told her that he was indeed using 2,4-D and dicamba to manage his weeds. The grape board theorized that herbicide was drifting onto McMillen’s farm when her neighbor lowered the boom on his industrial crop sprayer, releasing an extra cloud of herbicide “like a sneeze,” says McMillen. Their neighbor began lowering the arm of the sprayer in his fields instead of across the street from McMillen’s farm. But this year it happened again, this time to McMillen’s tomato, pepper and potato plants, as well as more grapes. As it was before, the plants were contorted in bizarre ways. McMillen had the plants analyzed by professors from the University of Missouri who said the damage looked consistent with patterns created by the herbicide 2,4-D. “The university professors that analyzed this for me told me 2,4-D makes a plant’s growth system go haywire. Parts of the plant grow faster, so maybe the stem part doesn’t get strong as it could be,” says McMillen. “So you get all this weird looking produce. Every plant seems to react differently. Tomatoes and grapes are particularly susceptible. The leaves look like onionskin — they get papery.” See CHEMICAL WARFARE Page 16

CHEMICAL WARFARE from Page 14

David Trinklein, an associate professor in the division of plant sciences at the University of Missouri — Columbia, was one of the university professors who consulted McMillen about her damaged vegetables. He explains that 2,4-D is classified as a synthetic version of auxin, a naturally occurring growth hormone in plants. “Auxin causes a tree to stretch upward towards the light,” Trinklein says. “In nature that’s a defense mechanism so it isn’t towered over by other plants. But synthetic auxin makes plants grow themselves to death, if that makes any sense — weeds turn into vines and quickly die. Most dandelion sprays that people use in their yards have a 2,4-D base, so you’ll notice you get weird leaves for a couple of days and then they die.” Trinklein says that tomatoes and grapes are extremely sensitive to even small amounts of 2,4-D, which is why something seemingly small like drift from a neighboring field can wreak so much havoc. Trinklein admits that, at least anecdotally, he’s seeing more and more herbicide damage. He doesn’t know if that’s because people are more likely to report it now or more people are gardening or we’re just using more herbicides. He told McMillen that his department has had several reports of 2,4-D damage to grapes. He’s very concerned that the 2,4-D resistant crops will increase the problems. “I only know that we are going to see a lot more collateral damage to vegetable crops when 2,4-D is more widely used. Certainly these are compounds that are more volatile [than glyphosate],” Trinklein says. When Trinklein says volatility, he means the chemical’s ability to vaporize into the air during warm and wet conditions. Drift has always been a major concern with 2,4-D because of its high volatility. Dow spokesman Hamlin says that the new Enlist herbicide accounts for this. “There have been environmental drift issues with 2,4-D historically and that’s why we redid the product,” says Hamlin, explaining that a choline salt of 2,4-D replaces the old ester forms of the herbicide. “[The choline salt formulation] provides better handling characteristics, less odor, less potential for viability. It’s been reformulated to create minimum potential for drift.” He says that the USDA estimates a 90 percent reduction in drift. “It actually is less drift prone, but there’s no guarantee that farmers are going to be spraying just that Enlist brand,” stresses Reed from Food and Water Watch. “They’re supposed to and

there’s best management practices, but the problem is there’s very little monitoring of that.” And we’re back to who is in charge of stewardship — a governmental agency that seems to be too busy to conduct adequate research on human and environmental health effects, and a chemical company with responsibilities to shareholders. So what about farmers like McMillen who have lost their largest cash crops? “Not only is she probably going to lose this crop but she was certified organic,” says Trinklein. “Now with this accidental contamination, I think it’s five years before it can be declared organic in nature.” McMillen reported this year’s incident to the Missouri Department of Agriculture, which is now investigating what caused the deformed plants. She’s not sure what she’ll hear. “The state says it would only be drift within three days of application, which just means that if the guy sprayed a week ago they would say it came from him. But if you look into the literature [on 2,4-D drift] it looks like several weeks could pass between the time when 2,4-D was applied and time when crops were affected because of volatilization,” says McMillen. “It could be that it came in — and we’ve pretty much eliminated this but I want to let you know how big a deal this is — could have come in on our compost. It can even come from your water. You have to try to eliminate all of these possibilities.” “The university, and I don’t blame them for this, but they get a lot of money from Monsanto,” McMillen says. “They want to be as conservative as they can in what they are telling us. I think that’s part of why they are saying it can only volatilize for a couple of days. Another parameter is distance, only a mile. You can look at literature and see it can travel a lot farther. The university is trying to be conservative, and I don’t blame them, they probably should. But will we ever know where this came from? I’m not sure.” Whatever the case, McMillen doesn’t blame her neighbors. In fact, she feels pity. “I always feel like they have been trapped in a horrible system and it’s not that they are bad people, the system just takes such advantage of them and puts them into so much debt that they feel like — well, maybe they don’t — but it seems like they might feel that they have to adopt these new technologies just to keep their heads above water. I feel very sad for them.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com Boulder Weekly

Growing resistance

Bacteria that don’t respond to antibiotics are spreading while FDA fails to ban their use in livestock

he World Health Organization statement on the matter reads like the setup to a sci-fi horror film — a once hypothetical problem has now become a major threat to public health. And no, we’re not talking about Ebola flying home on airplanes. We’re talking about the bacteria brought home in the chicken, beef and pork you buy at the grocery store, and the increasing presence of antibiotic resistant bacteria you may be bringing home along with it. Antibiotic resistance “is no longer a prediction for the future, it is happening right now in every region of the world and has the potential to affect anyone, of any age, in any country,” according to the World Health Organization. As our use of antibiotics has spread, so has the ability of bacteria to develop a resistance to them. Using antibiotics can kill off all the bacteria related to The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have confirmed cases of resistant bacteria in 47 states, including Colorado.

Exploring mountain biking’s Boulder roots in Crested Butte by Tom Winter

We catch our first sight of the peak after traversing the very passable and amazingly scenic Kebler Pass dirt road, the back door into Crested Butte. As we enter the historic Colorado mining town, it’s impossible not to look past the restored Victorians and the funky shacks to the jagged mountain that gave this town its name. Crested Butte, the mountain, stands alone above the valley, a single peak. It is an island that stands alone, compelling and beautiful. The legendary ski runs of the ski area that shares its name home to one of the most venerable and unique events green and lush in the midsummer sun. in skiing, the Crested Butte Extremes, a big-mountain Those ski runs are justly famous.

But we’re not here to chase winter dreams. Despite the rowdy reputation of the ski area and the hardcores who call the town home when snowdrifts curl off of the roofs, there’s another side to this part of Colorado. And that’s summer, when the sun shines, the wildflowers bloom and bikes dominate the roads, the trails and the sidewalks. Crested Butte was born, as were so many of Colorado’s mountain towns, out of a lust for riches. Silver and gold were mined in the surrounding mountains and the town provided both supplies and, with its saloons and brothels, recreation for the miners. Coal deposits ensured that when the late 1800s precious metals boom busted, that Crested Butte would remain relevant — in 1902 the town was home to the third largest coal mine in the state, employing over 400 miners. Coal collapsed in the mid 1900s, leaving the town intact and setting the stage for the transformation of the area into a tourism-based economy. The ski area opened in 1960, with a bottom-totop gondola being installed in 1963. The beauty of the area, along with its remoteness and the challenging terrain drew a different type of resident. Gone were the miners and in their place a motley crew of adventurers, ski bums and rebels made the town home. Some of these individuals came for the skiing, but stayed for the summer. To navigate the rough roads of town after the snow melted they used “clunkers,” funky fat-tired one-speed bikes or modified 10-speeds. As the bikes evolved, so did the goals of those riding them and soon these primitive mountain bikes were being used to explore the maze of old mining roads, trails and passes surrounding Crested Butte, thus setting in motion the distinctly American cycling revolution that gave birth to mountain biking. Crested Butte may not have an exclusive claim to being the birthplace of mountain biking; similar experimentation was also taking place in other

Other gems include Teocalli Ridge loop, which features a tough climb with a rewarding downhill and the excellent trail system of the Crested Butte Ski Area itself, where singletrack and ski area access roads combine with uphill lift access for a wide variety of experiences for all riders — beginner to expert. Crested Butte Resort also has lift access for bikers and hikers meaning that the area is a magnet for downhill riders who take advantage of the resort’s dedicated downhill-only trails for gravity-fed fun. If you’re new to the game, you can get full suspension bike rental at the base and start out small: There are three beginner downhills out of 11 downhill-only trail options. Compared to home, there’s no doubt that we’re in mountain bike country here, and the access as well as the quality of trails is a revelation for those of us who spend most of our time riding Boulder’s Marshall Mesa. In that regard, we’re not alone. Our base camp above the town of Crested Butte proper in the resort’s mountain village is crowded with vehicles sporting bike racks and almost everyone is riding some sort of two-wheeled contraption, from townies to cross country mountain bikes to dedicated downhill monsters. Down in old Crested Butte, the atmosphere is the same, with bikes outnumbering cars. Crested Butte may not outright own the undisputed title as the “birthplace” of mountain biking, and the Mountain Biking Hall of Fame, which includes IMBA activists Gary Sprung and Tim Blumenthal along with Webber may have relocated to California for the time being, but it doesn’t matter. Here we are riding on hallowed ground. And that, at least for today, is enough. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

The library debuts its new tech lab and 3D printer by Maalikah Hartley

nce upon a time, when books were rare and expensive, no one questioned what a library was for. But in the age of the Internet, when everyone can easily have home access to the sorts of resources libraries offer, the library’s purpose is less clear. This week, the Boulder Public Library is making a bold stride forward into what libraries can be when it unveils the final piece of its recently remodeled teen space, “The Foundry,” or Makerspace, an on-site tech lab outfitted with video and audio recording/editing equipment, digital art software, digital cameras for photography and of course the new 3D printer: the MakerBot Replicator 5th Generation. “We want to create a third space. Something that’s not school, not home, but they can come here and explore their own thing, if they wanna make their own art, we want to give them that freedom,” said Adam Watts, the Library Technology Support Specialist. “We want to make the library a place of creation as well as reading.” In The Foundry, young makers will have access to a full Adobe Creative Suite, microphones, musical instruments, audio mixers, green screens, portable lighting equipment and more to create whatever they can imagine. Teen library supervisor, Crystal Niedzwiadek, Boulder Weekly

and of course, books. The Foundry will officially open Thursday, Aug. 7 with an unveiling event from 4-6 p.m. The room’s décor is grey and yellow themed with hexagon structures moving around the wall — why kids have nicknamed it The Hive — and peppered with teenfriendly artwork of anime characters and pop stars. Teens can also paint with watercolors on mini canvases, enjoy board games and crafts or even put together mini electronics from the Adam Watts, the Library Technology tech cabinet.

hen you find yourself at a music festival in most places, chances are you’re looking at the stage. But if that festival is in Colorado, you might be spending as much time looking at the scenery, and that’s just fine. At least that’s how Arise Music Festival producer Paul Bassis feels about it. “I was really moved by the beauty of Sunrise Ranch,” says Bassis. “It is truly a beautiful place.” The Sunrise Ranch near Loveland is where Bassis continues to host the Arise Music Festival, which he co-founded Beats Antique is just one of the headliners at this year’s Arise Music Festival being held at the in 2013. beautiful Sunrise Ranch near Loveland.

arts & culture Get ‘em Tiger

SLAB: square product theatre debuts a multimedia collaboration by Gregory Thorson

t was more than four years ago that Emily Harrison, artistic director for Boulder’s square product theatre, saw University of Denver professor Selah Saterstrom read an excerpt of her novel-in-progress, SLAB, at a Naropa University writing workshop. Harrison found the themes intriguing. So intriguing that she spent the time since working on a stage adaptation with Gleason Bauer, who directs and designed sets for the adaptation, which is currently running at ATLAS’ Black Box Theatre on the University of Colorado Boulder’s campus through August 16. SLAB is the story of Tiger (played by Harrison), a stripper whose story begins during Hurricane Katrina as she is searching for sustenance for her mother and an infant child. We flash back and forth through Tiger’s past; events include her grandfather’s suicide, a stint in juvenile hall, an extended interview with Barbara Walters and her lifelong love affair with Champ, a childhood friend. The multimedia production has a Naropa feel to it, using literary metaphor and imagery and avant-garde theater techniques, including a narrator who serves as the emcee of the play. The production value is strong and Bauer’s set design is fantastic. The big ATLAS space is filled with interesting set pieces and decoration. Two of the three projection screens are very well integrated into the set and a highlight is the use of a refrigerator door as a screen. The stage is surrounded by dressing room mirrors, and Bauer does

a great job with the pre-show. It has become more and more cliché to have actors onstage for pre-show, but SLAB makes it work. The actors sit at their makeup tables getting ready for the production. Exciting music plays, and the lighting, mostly from the mirrors’ lights, produces a cool and stylish effect. The video design of the production by Christine Battle and the sound design by Janet Feder and Paul Fowler are well done and Jess Buttery’s lighting greatly adds to the production’s atmosphere. The work of the cast is quite good. Mark Collins brings authority to the

role of preacher-turned-theater producer (though his character does a lot more preaching than theater producing). Lauren Dennis is convincing and amusing in a diverse set of roles. Cage Sebastian Pierre is touching as Champ. As Tiger, Harrison carries the piece, which is no small feat. Much of the play is extended monologues and Harrison is good at finding the sarcasm and humor in the script. But even with the strong performances, the narrative of the play can be disjointed and hard to follow. It takes over 15 minutes at the play’s start for

the characters to be introduced and some of vignettes do not seem to connect thematically to the piece. Also, several major production choices are not fully integrated. The narrator dominates the beginning of the play but is absent for long stretches and is not connected to most of the scenes. The multimedia aspect of the play seems tacked on more than it does fully integrated into the script. Once we meet Tiger the script is mostly loosely connected monologues that could work without the multimedia. Additionally, the extended monologues cause a problem in that most of Harrison’s work is directed toward the audience, making the connection between actors not very strong. Like many new plays, SLAB is a play in development. Harrison has stated the play went through revisions right up until opening and I feel the play could use further editing. The script is too long at more than two hours and could use an intermission. SLAB brings up major themes, such as life and death, survival, love and gender. The play is right to not wrap up these big ideas in a tidy package, but it introduces a lot of ponderous questions without thematic resolution. The night I saw the production there were major technical difficulties, which I’m sure affected the performance. But the show runs for three weeks so there is a lot of time for growth. Square product has a good reputation for developing new work, and while I had a hard time connecting to this piece, I look forward to seeing their work in the future.

‘Photography and Vision’ is about just that Exhibition shows the evolving taste of two collectors by Elizabeth Miller Courtesy of Denver Art Museum

ight black and white images — a photo collage — of a figure that looks wrapped for burial at sea, shrouded and tagged with an American flag occasionally upside down, run in sequence along the opening wall of the gallery. The collage is part of the current exhibit titled Photography and Vision: The Influence of Joyce and Ted Strauss at the Denver Art Museum. The photos cannot help but feel politically loaded, viewed as they are in these early days of the exhibition, which have coincided with so much violence overseas, so much bad news for soldiers, so many bodies to be wrapped and shipped home. One face peels back from the shroud, chin up toward the light, the expression mostly lost behind the arc of well-lit jawbone. We’ll never know if that’s ecstasy or agony, but it feels like it must be the latter — the ache of muscles seizing within the tightly bound shroud, and the urge to feel more free. Like so much experimental art, the viewer is able to interpret the messaging at will. A little biographical knowledge is required to frame these photographs in the context its creator might have wanted to fit it within. Three years before making these photographs, Wesley Kennedy was diagnosed with HIV/AIDS, and three years after, he would be dead. It’s a rough hello for visitors to Photography and Vision, but it’s an appropriate greeting. What follows is a series of images bound only by their selection by a husband and wife pair of collectors who found them worth

viewing in a museum, and therefore worth having in the permanent collection of the museum. While there’s little to tie them together aesthetically, there’s a potency in all of them that becomes a theme. And there’s a delightful foray — in this homage to the work of two collectors for whom the Denver Art Museum curatorial staff have expressed their boundless thanks — into simply looking at how their interests evolved as they built a collection. Joyce and Ted Strauss were collecting New American art when Joyce saw an exhibition of pioneering American

modernist photographer Paul Strand’s work at the Light Gallery in New York City in 1975. She came to Ted saying that photography might be something they should look into collecting. Over the years that followed, they’ve donated some 250 images to the Denver Art Museum, beginning in 1978. Just recently, they shipped a crate of 10 more photos for the collection. To acknowledge and celebrate their ongoing generosity, Denver Art Museum Curator of Photography Eric Paddock put together an exhibition of their photographs.

also recognized their contributions, first in the 2002 exhibition Double Vision: The Strauss Collection, and then again in 2007 in Rebels and Revelers: Experimental Decades, 1970s-1980s – Gifts from the Joyce and Ted Strauss Collection.) The story Photography and Vision tells is of the evolving voice of two novice photography curators eventually finding their niche for photography collection. Ted Strauss worked as the adjunct curator of photography for the Denver Art Museum from 1985 to 1994, paid $1 a year to put together up to four exhibitions. The Strausses believed that if a photograph was good enough to be shown at the museum, it was good enough to have in the permanent collection, according to Paddock. So in addition to donating photographs, they helped steer other donations from exhibitions into the museum’s permanent collection (which, as one realizes when it flexes its muscles in something like the Garry Winogrand exhibit from two years ago, is quite extensive). When Paddock told them he was putting together this show, they said the view of their contributions wouldn’t be complete without also looking at those works they directed to the museum from other benefactors. So, he added them. “It’s a little bit of a mish-mash … but in a way reflective of their developing tastes,” Paddock says.

Saturday, August 9: Kyle’s Brewfest. 3-7 p.m. Liquor Mart, 1750 15th St., Boulder, 303-4493374. Want an advance copy of Speed of Life, the new album from Kyle Hollingsworth of The String Cheese Incident? Want a beer or twelve to go with it? Well you’re in luck. Hollingsworth will be dropping his new album at this year’s installment of the annual Kyle’s Brewfest on Saturday, Aug. 9. In addition to Hollingsworth’s early album release, several breweries will be releasing a collaboration of new beers from companies including Stone, Boulder Beer and Rock Brothers, and those that arrive early will get to sample the entries in the homebrewing competition. In total, there will be more than 60 craft beers from over 30 breweries, as well as food and performances from the Kyle Hollingsworth Band, with members of The Motet, as well as “special guests.” How special? Show up and find out.

Saturday, August 9: Paula Poundstone. 8 p.m. Chautauqua Auditorium, 900 Baseline Road, Boulder, 303440-7666.

Saturday, August 9: Bolder Acts Triple Header Event. 7 p.m. Nomad Theatre, 1410 Quince Ave., Boulder, 303-443-7510.

These days, Paula Poundstone is best-known as a regular guest on the NPR quiz show, Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me. But like so many successes, it clouds what was already an illustrious career.

Bolder Acts strives to set itself apart from other local theater companies through the cultivation of three different performance formats: presentations of classics, workshopping of new scripts, and 24-hour plays, in which a play is conceived, written, rehearsed and staged from scratch within a 24-hour timeframe.

Poundstone has won Emmys, written books, is ranked at 88 on Comedy Central’s Greatest Comedians of All Time, was inducted into the Comedy Hall of Fame in 2010, and was the first female comedian to perform at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. When you see all that, suddenly, some radio quiz show seems kind of irrelevant. See Poundstone get back to her roots this week with her standup act.

To open its season on Saturday, Aug. 9, it will be presenting all three formats back to back. There will be two 24-hour plays from company members, followed by a reading of a new script, then an intermission and a production of Edgar Lee Masters’ Spoon River Anthology.

he proliferation of comic book movies has reached its cultural apex, so thoroughly dominating the box office and public consciousness that a backlash was practically invited. While the public plays Oliver Twist, wallets open and begging for more, those who critically engage cinema have begun the “tsk, tsk”-ing and the “poo-poo”-ing. Guardians of the Galaxy is a feast for the former and a rejoinder to the latter. It is unabashedly exuberant and a reminder of the satisfying splendor of spectacle. Also, there’s a talking tree and a murderous raccoon. Writer/director James Gunn’s gleeful and giddy space opera gets right to it, as young Peter Quill is abducted by aliens shortly after watching his mother succumb to cancer. Fast forward and Quill (Chris Pratt) is now an intergalactic scofflaw being hunted by people looking for an artifact he pilfered. Said pilfering earns him a bounty on his head, which the talking raccoon, Rocket (voiced by Bradley Cooper), and the semi-talking tree, Groot (voiced by Vin Diesel), attempt to claim by capturing the scoundrel. They arrive at the same time as Gamora (Zoe Saldana), who is also after Quill. The foursome brawl and wind up in jail. Once incarcerated, they are confronted by Drax (Dave Bautista), whose nickname is “the destroyer,” which is pretty much the worst nickname a guy you confront in prison can have. Seeking vengeance against the would-be planetkiller Ronan (Lee Pace), Drax joins the awkward collective in an attempt to find his enemy. Quill’s rag-tag band of green ne’er-do-wells and anthropomorphic

lower life forms accidentally find themselves the last thing standing between Ronan and the destruction of the known galaxy. No pressure. Gunn and cowriter Nicole Perlman blatantly rely on a MacGuffin, in this case a powerful stone, to move events along because they understand that the film’s success doesn’t rely on plot intricacies. Instead, the script is slavishly dedicated to its characters, all of whom are either spectacularly original or, in the case of Quill, so flinging-flanging charismatic nobody cares. Sure, Gunn and Perlman probably have the gang vocalize their feeling of kinship for each other one or two … dozen times too many. But how do you not feel warm inside watching the bulky Drax keep telling people they are his friends? Guardians is a movie solely concerned with making people feel happy. It’s why the soundtrack is a baller collection of classic tunes and not littered with dubstep. It’s why it skews 70 percent comedy and 30 percent action when that ratio was ditched by summer movies ages ago, when destruction porn and dour superhero pouting began to reign. It’s a love letter to a generation weaned on Star Wars without becoming a pandering nostalgiafest. If Boyhood is a reminder of film’s potential to be groundbreaking art, Guardians of the Galaxy is a testament to its capacity for inducing pure joy. To elevate one approach over the other is to cut the medium off at the knees. We need Boyhood to challenge us. And we need Guardians to make us feel like a kid again.

cuisine review Susan France

he ugly truth is that for all Boulder’s highminded foodieism, it’s no picnic finding a decent taco to take on a picnic. Sure there’s some decent facsimiles, but because of Boulder’s obscene rents and completely absurd food truck regulations, if you want the real goods, the flavors of fried pork marinated in diesel exhaust and hot sauce that stings like the crack of whip, then, Katniss-like, you have to get out of the Capitol and into the Districts where the poors live. Or at least into the fringes. Up until last week, La Choza was Boulder’s dirty little secret: a small trailer parked spitting distance from the edge of town on N. Broadway that dished delish on the taco tip. Its hours sucked, its location was invisible and the parking lot it was in had all the ambiance you’d expect of a sun-battered, weather-cracked patch of shade-free asphalt on the edge of town. But no more. As of this week, La Choza is moving on up to the east side ... of the parking lot. La Choza took up its new brick and mortar digs in one of the vacant slots in the shopping center its parking lot served on Aug. 2, and if the line out the door and the 45-minute wait for a quartet of tacos de pastor was any clue, it’s a move Boulder is, ahem, “hungry for.” The new and improved Inside La Choza is every-

thing you could want from a real taqueria: a cramped interior with no air conditioning, bold aromas in every direction, self-serve horchata, prices that seem a decade out of step with inflation, and with a one to ten ratio of people ordering in english to spanish. There are only six tables, low ceilings and the place is bustling with noise. As The Cure sang, “just like heaven.” The tacos de pastor ($7) I ordered were sweet and spicy, with full chunks of pineapple and a dusting of

chili powder on lightly grilled corn tortillas. The tacos de carnitas were fried crispy, avoiding all of the sogginess La Choza that can come with 4457 Broadway pork. St., Boulder 303-296-5107 My torta de asada ($6 with chips and salsa), was great, with pillowy bread and rich bits of beef. And the piece de resistance: the $3.25 burrito. It isn’t the fresh-mex style that has come into vogue from the success of Chipotle, but the down and dirty roach coach style that fills bellies and kills hangovers dead. La Choza also has a selection of burgers and grilled meat platters, as well as Mexican standards like enchiladas and chili rellenos. Look sharp gringo, these are the tacos you’ve been looking for. But expect to wait a few minutes, because there’s a lot of folks that have been looking for them as well. But for those already nostalgic for the trailer, don’t worry. The owners posted a sign saying they are planning to move it to 47th and Pearl where it can tacofy Boulder’s eastern fringe along with its northern tip. Once that is inevitably a success as well, we’d like to call La Choza’s attention to the underserved market in south Boulder where Boulder Weekly just happens to be located. Just sayin’.

Innaugural Craft Distillers Festival is a go by Josh Gross

tout Month. Sourfest. Rocket in My Beer Fest (yes, that’s a real thing). Even when they’re almost comically hyper-specific, Colorado isn’t exactly short on beer festivals. And though, years ago, Joanne Knipmeyer used to help stage one of those beer events in Vail, the multitude of them is a big part of why when Knipmeyer, a Boulder County Fair volunteer, was brainstorming events to stage at this year’s fair she decided to go another direction: distilling. “There’s already a lot of craft beer events in the summer in Boulder County,” she says. “So I went to the Fair Board and said, ‘We could really be ahead of the curve on this one.’” Knipmeyer says that even when she was just pitching the idea, she already had a half-dozen local distillers ready to help. A few months later, it’s all happening. The inaugural Craft Distillers Festival will go down at the Boulder County Fairground on Saturday, Aug. 9 from 1-5 p.m. Knipmeyer says that Colorado has just over 50 “quote unquote distillers,” though not all of their facilities are fully-operational and open just yet. That number is in the high 30s. But Knipmeyer says not all of them are truly local operations. “Only about half of Colorado distilleries are doing this true grain to glass,” she says. Those grain-to-glass or fruit-toroot distillers — those that use locally sourced ingredients, not just finalize Boulder Weekly

the process here in Colorado — are the ones that the festival is putting on display. “For us, it was a much better tie-in to the fair, because we’re 4-H and FFA,” says Knipmeyer. Knipmeyer had 16 distilleries on board for the festival when she spoke to Boulder Weekly, and said there may be more by go-time. “I keep hearing from more,” she says. Beer fest aficionados will probably recognize the format of the Craft Distiller’s Festival: A ticket price at the door will get you a commemorative tasting glass for all the hooch, the portions will be tasting-size instead of “getting hammered and telling your friends what you really think of them” size, and local distilleries will be showing off some specially-made cocktails as well as serving neat. Attendees can vote on their favorite cocktail. Black Canyon, 303 Vodka and Roundhouse Spirits are all on the bill among others. In addition, the festival will provide educational workshops on the craft of distilling and the art of tasting. “It should help improve palates,” says Knipmeyer. Tickets are $40 (or currently two for $55 on Groupon). Knipmeyer says all of the money raised by this event will go back into keeping general admission at the fair free.

Dear Dan: I am a 38-year-old married woman. My husband of 18 years is 22 years my senior. I credit my husband for giving me a good life and helping me pursue goals. But my husband is a type A professional, and that has played out in the bedroom. He has always been disinterested in my pleasure. If I ask for oral, he tells me to “clean it really, really well,” then he’ll “think about doing that.” This makes me feel disgusting. If I initiate or get on top, he loses his erection because I am “attacking him.” A few months ago, I told a friend that I had never once received “enthusiastic oral.” She said it made sense that my husband didn’t enjoy doing it because it was a “domination thing” that mostly submissive men enjoy. A little information can be a dangerous thing. I started visiting online domination forums. I hinted about these interests to my husband and got shot down (of course). This is a huge contrast to my new “online friends,” who would love to meet and orally service me. I have spoken to each of them on the phone and exchanged hundreds of e-mails. I want to take this into “real life.” This is the happiest I have been in my entire life, and I want to act on these desires. My husband is my only concern. He’s my best friend. I don’t want to lose that. How do I deal with this? Don’t Offend My Man Ever Dear DOMME: A man who demands “rapey” sex on his schedule for 18 years, makes his wife feel bad about her genitals, and isn’t open to trying new things is begging to be cheated on. So go get some enthusiastic oral from those sub males, DOMME, you deserve it. On the other hand… you say your rapey, pussy-disparaging, sex-shaming husband is your best friend (baffling!) and you don’t want to lose him (equally baffling!). And without a doubt, a guy with his retrograde attitudes about sex, gender roles, and “wifely duties” would divorce you if he found out you cheated on him — and some days it feels like most people who cheat get caught — so you probably shouldn’t take this into “real life,” as it could nuke your marriage. But on the other other hand… your husband sounds like the type of guy who would regard your secret online life as cheating and divorce you just the same if he found out. So you might as well go ahead and fuck those subs, DOMME, because if you get caught — and you probably will — you’ll be in the same trouble whether or not you got some enthusiastic oral in “real life.” Boulder Weekly

Dear Dan: I’m a 25-year-old woman who can only get off lying facedown and rubbing my clit against a pillow. The orgasms are great, but it limits the ways I can get off with my husband. For instance, the only way I can orgasm during sex is being on top and rocking back and forth on him in a similar manner. I’ve never climaxed during oral or hand stimulation, or in any other position. All of that feels nice, but I never climax. How can I teach myself to masturbate correctly? I’ve been reading up online and hearing conflicting suggestions — and most of them are for men. It’s all very stressful, and I’m terrified of never being able to get off the conventional way since I’ve been doing this since childhood. Can’t Really Use Direction Dear CRUD: Forgive the mixed messages I’m about to send you, CRUD. I’ve advised guys with Death Grip Syndrome — aka Traumatic Masturbatory Syndrome — to use a lighter touch and a lot of lube. (Not all of these guys are clenching their dicks too hard; some are rubbing up against pillows like you, CRUD, or even — my personal favorite — sliding their dicks between mattresses and box springs.) But here’s the difficult part: If they can’t come with the lighter touch and more lube, they don’t get to come. No reverting to a tightly clenched fist (or a pillow) after 20 minutes of “trying.” Allow the pressure and frustration to build long enough, and a dick will adapt. They may have to keep at it for months, plural. . My advice for you, CRUD, is the same as my advice for the boys: If you want to learn how to get off in other ways, masturbate regularly — constantly — but without the pillow. If you don’t come, you don’t come. Focus on the pleasure you are able to achieve, and give it at least three months. It’s a very good sign that you aren’t entirely dependent on a pillow — you can get off with/on your partner. Most people with TMS aren’t so lucky. And it’s a lot less awkward to grind on your partner pillowstyle than to shift from penis-in-vagina sex (PIV) to penis-in-between-mattressand-box-spring sex. That said, some people with DGS/ TMS simply aren’t able to retrain their junk. You may have to accept that this is how your orgasms happen — and let go of the shame. mail@savagelove.net @fakedansavage on Twitter Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

astrology ARIES

MARCH 21-APRIL 19:

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

Don’t just be smart and articulate, Aries. Dare to be wildly wise and prone to unruly observations. Don’t merely be kind and well-behaved. Explore the mysteries of healing through benevolent mischief. Don’t buy into the all-tooserious trances. Break up the monotony with your unpredictable play and funny curiosity. Don’t simply go along with the stories everyone seems to believe in as if they were the Truth and the Way. Question every assumption; rebel against every foregone conclusion; propose amusing plot twists that send the narratives off on interesting tangents.

TAURUS

APRIL 20-MAY 20:

Breve orazione penetra is an old Italian idiom. Its literal translation is “short prayers pierce” or “concise prayers penetrate.” You can extrapolate from that to come up with the meaning that “God listens best to brief prayers.” In the coming week, I invite you to apply this idea whenever you ask for anything, whether you are seeking the favors of the Divine Wow or the help of human beings. Know exactly what you want, and express it with no-nonsense succinctness.

GEMINI

MAY 21-JUNE 20:

Every February, you go through a phase when it’s easier to see the big picture of your life. If you take advantage of this invitation, your experience is like being on a mountaintop and gazing into the vastness. Every August, on the other hand, you are more likely to see the details you have been missing. Transformations that have been too small and subtle to notice may become visible to you. If you capitalize on this opportunity, the experience is like peering through a microscope. Here’s a third variation, Gemini: Around the full moons of both February and August, you may be able to alternately peer into the microscope and simulate the view from a mountaintop. I think that’s about to happen.

CANCER

JUNE 21-JULY 22:

You wouldn’t sip dirty water from a golden chalice. Am I right? Nor would you swig delicious poison from a fine crystal wine glass or ten-year-old vinegar from a queen’s goblet. I’m sure you will agree that you’d much rather drink a magical elixir from a paper cup, or a rejuvenating tonic from a chipped coffee mug, or tasty medicine out of a kids’ plastic soup bowl you bought at the thrift store. Don’t you dare lie to yourself about what’s best for you.

LEO

JULY 23-AUG. 22:

Every 12 years, the planet Jupiter spends about a year cruising through the sign of Leo. It’s there with you now, and will be with you through early August, 2015. What can you expect? EXPANSION! That’s great, right? Yes and no. You might love to have some parts of your life expand; others, not so much. So I suggest you write down your intentions. Say something like this: “I want Jupiter to help me expand my faith in myself, my power to do what I love, and my ability to draw on the resources and allies I need. Meanwhile, I will prune my desires for things I don’t really need and cut back on my involvement with things that don’t inspire me. I don’t want those to expand.”

VIRGO

AUG. 23-SEPT. 22:

TV comedian Stephen Colbert confesses that his safeword is “pumpkin patch.” Does that mean he participates in actual BDSM rituals? Is it the codeword he utters when he doesn’t want the intensity to rise any further, when he doesn’t want his next boundary crossed? I don’t know. Perhaps he’s simply joking or speaking metaphorically. Whether or not you engage in literal BDSM, Virgo, there’s an aspect of your life right now that has metaphorical resemblances to it. And I suggest that you do the equivalent of using your safeword very soon. Nothing more can be gained from remaining embroiled in your predicament. Even if the ordeal has been interesting or educational up until now, it won’t be for much longer. Escape your bondage.

LIBRA

SEPT. 23-OCT. 22:

all warmed up and at full strength before you actually unleash it. It would be sad if you flung a halfassed thunderbolt that looked like a few fireflies and sounded like a cooing dove. And please don’t interpret my wise-guy tone here as a sign that I’m just kidding around. No, Libra. This is serious stuff. Life is offering you opportunities to make a major impression, and I want you to be as big and forceful and wild as you need to be. Don’t tamp down your energy out of fear of hurting people’s feelings. Access your inner sky god or sky goddess, and have too much fun expressing your raw power.

SCORPIO

OCT. 23-NOV. 21:

In your dreams you may travel to Stockholm, Sweden to accept the Nobel Prize or to Hollywood to pick up your Oscar. There’s a decent chance that in your sleepy-time adventures you will finally score with the hot babe who rejected you back in high school, or return to the scene of your biggest mistake and do things right this time. I wouldn’t be surprised if in one dream you find yourself riding in a gold chariot during a parade held in your honor. I’m afraid, however, that you will have to settle for less hoopla and glamour in your waking life. You will merely be doing a fantastic job at tasks you usually perform competently. You will be well-appreciated, well-treated, and well-rewarded. That’s not so bad, right?

SAGITTARIUS NOV. 22-DEC. 21:

Lake Superior State University issues a “Unicorn Questing Privilege” to those people who are interested in hunting for unicorns. Are you one of them? I wouldn’t be surprised if you felt an urge like that in the coming weeks. Unusual yearnings will be welling up in you. Exotic fantasies may replace your habitual daydreams. Certain possibilities you have considered to be unthinkable or unattainable may begin to seem feasible. Questions you have been too timid to ask could become crucial for you to entertain. (You can get your Unicorn Questing License here: http://tinyurl. com/unicornlicense.)

CAPRICORN

DEC. 22-JAN. 19:

Your ethical code may soon be tested. What will you do if you see a chance to get away with a minor sin or petty crime that no one will ever find out about? What if you are tempted to lie or cheat or deceive in ways that advance your good intentions and only hurt other people a little bit or not at all? I’m not here to tell you what to do, but rather to suggest that you be honest with yourself about what’s really at stake. Even if you escape punishment for a lapse, you might nevertheless inflict a wound on your integrity that would taint your relationship with your own creativity. Contemplate the pleasures of purity and righteousness, and use them to enhance your power.

AQUARIUS

JAN. 20-FEB. 18:

“The thorn arms the roses,” says an old Latin motto. The astrological omens suggest you’ll be wise to muse on that advice in the coming weeks. How should you interpret it? I’ll leave you to draw your own conclusions, of course, but here are a few hints. It may be that beauty needs protection, or at least buffering. It’s possible that you can’t simply depend on your sincerity and good intentions, but also need to infuse some ferocity into your efforts. In order for soft, fragile, lovely things to do what they do best, they may require the assistance of tough, strong, hearty allies.

PISCES

FEB. 19-MARCH 20:

If you go to an American doctor to be treated for an ailment, odds are that he or she will interrupt you no more than 14 seconds into your description of what’s wrong. But you must not tolerate this kind of disrespect in the coming days, Pisces -- not from doctors, not from anyone. You simply must request or, if necessary, demand the receptivity you deserve. If and when it’s given, I urge you to speak your truth in its entirety. Express what has been hidden and suppressed. And this is very important: Take responsibility for your own role in any problems you discuss.

EEDBETWEENTHELINES

by Leland Rucker

The limits to legislating cannabis edibles

he state of Colorado got generally high marks for its initial rollout of recreational cannabis from a Brookings Institute report released last week. Writer John Hudak admitted it’s too early to determine how well legalization will work out, but it praised the state’s tracking system, vertical marketplace, barriers to market entry, limiting purchase quantity, video surveillance and assessing taxes, fees and regulations among the successes of the first six months. Among the things it says the state needs to work on is inconsistent servings of THC in edibles. Not that the state hasn’t been aware of that. New temporary regulations were passed last Thursday that deal more strictly with serving size, potency and packaging for retail edibles. Which brings us to House Bill 1366, which directs the State Licensing Authority to convene a stakeholder work group to develop recommendations for better ways to clearly mark edibles as cannabis products. The first work-group meeting was held last Friday morning at the Colorado Division of Gaming in Golden. There were about 20 stakeholders present — company owners, bakers, school, police and revenue officials, testing-center owners and advocacy groups. Everybody was there, it seemed, except actual consumers, who were not involved but have as much stake in this as anybody here. Longmont Rep. Jonathan Singer, who co-sponsored HB 1366, put the problem succinctly: “I want to know what’s a Duncan Hines brownie and what’s a marijuana brownie, just by looking at it.” That’s a worthy goal, but much more difficult than it sounds. Everybody got to speak their minds, and there were as many different points of view as there are kinds of edibles. There’s a lot at stake here. Although everybody seemed to be behind Singer’s charge, each

regulatory change strains emerging businesses. For the most part, the conversation was civil, although it was easy to see which sides were which. There have been legitimate consumer complaints about packaging, and the industry has responded to many of them — packaging and marking already have improved since January. Another part of the problem has been adding a retail market to an already existing medical market with patients who need and are used to higher dosages. And another piece is the state reacting (or overreacting) to those headlines about edibles being involved in the death of a young man and a New York Times columnist who wrote about a bad experience in a Denver hotel room. Though I’m sure it was on many minds, it wasn’t mentioned that millions of dollars of edibles have been and are being bought and ingested in Colorado without consequence. The first order of business was to come up with a list of edible products, which brought the packaging issue into sharp context. Edibles come in baked goods, sodas, coffees. teas, chocolate and peanut-butter bars, potato chips, lollipops, hard candies, soft candies, pills, tinctures, bulk foods, cereals, granola, party mixes, gum, sauces and effervescents, with new items coming online all the time. After struggling to categorize them, it was decided they would to try and come up with a complete list for the next meeting. So how do you ensure that each of these, whether solid, liquid, cereal, candy or pill, is properly “marked” with either stamps, colors, shapes or labels? Does each item need to be marked beyond the packaging? Is there a universal symbol that could be used to let anyone know that the item contains cannabis? There was interesting conversation, though not enough, about odor. Efforts are made by some manufacturers to mask or disguise it, but it was generally agreed that all cannabis edibles have a distinct smell, and most

a distinct cannabis taste. Could smell be a way to let the public know there’s cannabis in the product? The idea of stamping was discussed. When it was suggested that a stamp could easily be added to a baked good, one baker explained that adding an outside “stamp” also could compromise her entire organic business model. They talked about costs and other problems associated with making changes in presses or adding a stamping process. The idea of using a marijuana leaf as the universal symbol came up, although opinions were divided over whether that would attract or detract teens. One suggestion was to superimpose the Mr. Yuk poison warning on a marijuana leaf. Another one was to put a big THC sign on the label, and there was even talk of adding a STOP sign to each edible package. Could there be a universal shape that distinguishes a product as cannabis-based? The idea of associating cannabis with a color didn’t go far since all colors are already associated with so many other products. It was just a first meeting, but my general impression was that, good intentions notwithstanding, the state can only do so much to keep all residents safe. There is no evidence that children or teens are getting cannabis from retail or medical outlets. Businesses are responding to the packaging dilemma already. And ultimately, most who misuse edibles have an unpleasant experience for a few hours before it wears off. Unlike with alcohol and prescription drugs, nobody is “overdosing” on cannabis. Most people already know that edibles are not to be taken lightly, read the packaging and exercise common sense when using them. Common sense isn’t universal, and there will always be that tiny percentage of people who won’t check the packaging for dosage information, who will miss the giant THC sign on the label or won’t be listening to the budtender who explains how to control dosages. They are the ones making the headlines, and to be honest, I’m not sure the state can do much more to protect those people from themselves.
