Correction: In our Oct. 6 issue, in our coverage of the Louisville City Council Ward II race, we incorrectly stated that Dean Smith “says developers should be able to apply for a demolition permit without a development proposal.” Smith actually says developers shouldn’t be able to apply for a demolition permit without a development proposal.

Yes on 2H

On Nov. 1, the voices of the people of the City of Boulder will be heard.

By joining a powerful national campaign to reclaim true democracy, and saying “yes” to Resolution 2H, we are telling our elected officials that we want action now on a Constitutional amendment that would abolish corporate personhood and the equating of money with free speech.

The word “person” appears 49 times in the Constitution and Amendments; the word “corporation” does not appear at all. Real, live, breathing persons have constitutional rights, corporations have none. Despite the original intent of the framers of the Constitution, court rulings over the past 125 years have allowed corporations to overwhelm citizen influence in our elections. It’s time to change; it’s time to turn things around! Stand up for government of the people, by the people and for the people!

Vote “yes” on Resolution 2H!

The Highroad

ive men suddenly found themselves faced with an all-out attack on their territory. Five men confronted by a hostile power. But these five men looked destiny in the eye — and then they suited up and took care of business.

This sounds like a heroic action movie, but these guys are hardly heroes. They’re the top executives of the giant papermaker Temple-Inland, and the power confronting them was International Paper, an even giant-er corporation.

International was making a hostile bid to take over Temple-Inland, swallow the competitor whole, and spit out the five executives.

Sensing this, our “heroes” did, indeed, take care of business — their own. And when I said they “suited up,” it was not in battle gear, but in golden parachutes.

Shareholders were recently sent a cryptic message from the corporation, urging them to approve “the Boulder Weekly

lots” in 2008, we naturally thought this meant receiving our ballots by election time through U.S. mail. Mr. Gessler’s unilateral decision to only mail ballots to those who voted in 2010 is ridiculous. It’s neither practical nor feasible to expect voters to check their voting status, according to Mr. Gessler’s defi-

How much compensation? Simons is to get $8.8 million in cash, $29 million in stock payments, a $6 million pension, and $16 million in tax reimbursement. Yes, not only is Doyle getting a golden parachute, but the company is also paying the taxes he’ll owe on the gold he takes

with him.

The top five “leaders” are bailing out of Temple-Inland with a total of $162 million to cushion their fall from the corporate pinnacle. Not so fortunate are some 10,000 of the corporation’s common workers, who were abandoned to the Merciless God of Mergers, which always requires sacrifices of jobs in these situations.

So the bosses get the gold, workers get the shaft, International Paper gets market domination, and consumers get less choice and higher prices. Where’s Teddy Roosevelt when we need him to bust these malicious merger merchants?

Clean energy rocks America has an unprecedented chance to address both rising unemployment and rising temperatures by engaging whole-heartedly in the development and proliferation of solar energy — particularly here in Colorado, where we have so many days of sun every year. To ignore the reality of global warming is criminal, as is disregarding the plight of so many Americans willing to work. Let us wake up and lead the country in addressing these two problems effectively.

Eve Ilsen/Boulder Clean energy is the only hope for the survival of humanity.

Robert-David McEldowney/Niwot America needs new good-paying jobs that will support economic growth and families across our country. Our state has long been a producer of energy and jobs for our country, and now we need to work to expand on that history and move forward into a low-carbon future.

Clean energy is one of the best ways to create the jobs we need and this growth industry for our country.

Since the solar company Solyndra failed, many politicians and pundits have been using this failure as an excuse to attack solar rather then to tell Americans that we need to speed up 6 October 13, 2011

development and funding in this sector, as it is a key global industry and a great way to get Americans working again.

Fossil fuels do not need such support, as they are mature industries in a global marketplace. The attacks on solar energy are political and distract from the reality that we desperately need to move forward toward a clean energy future.

Other countries around the world are supporting this sector and we need to do the same!

Don’t buy marijuana lie So-called medical marijuana was a scam from inception. The primary goal of drug legalization advocates has always been to get to full marijuana legalization. Colorado is now being targeted by legalizers in an attempt to scam us into legalizing marijuana outright.

On Sept. 28, the United States Department of Justice sent a letter warning pot dispensaries in California that they are in direct violation of federal law, and they must close their doors within 45 days.

Title 21, United States code, Section 856(a) provides: It shall be unlawful to knowingly and intentionally rent, lease, or make available for use, with or without compensation, a building, room, or enclosure for the purpose of unlawfully, storing, distributing or using a controlled substance.

Marijuana is a Schedule 1 illegal drug. Make no mistake, the goal behind legalizing marijuana is not about one’s right to smoke pot. In fact, recreational users are being used by legalization advocates to push their

ince the first 1,000 protesters marched down the streets by Liberty Park in New York City on Sept.

17 as part of an ongoing action that is now known as Occupy Wall Street, a small movement has been born.

Law enforcement wants to put it down with mesh nets, pepper spray and nightsticks. Conservative news pundits want to minimize it by feeding sound bites designed to denigrate both the protesters and their cause to brain-dead audiences who’ve long since lost the capacity for independent thought.

Corporate greedheads want to ignore it and distance themselves from it, as if it sprang from the minds of people who are off their meds and not from concrete recent events that exposed Wall Street as a den of well-dressed thieves.

Similar to the anti-globalism protests that rocked Seattle in 1999 and Washington, D.C., in April 2000, but a whole lot angrier, this movement is a grassroots scream of frustration over the corporate greed and gross economic inequality that has come to characterize the United States. Its members come from all walks of life, not just the left.

They’re students who know they’ve placed themselves in debt for life for a

college degree and the prospect of unemployment, middle-aged blue-collar workers whose jobs are now in India and China, and older people whose hard-earned pensions vanished along with their retirement and sense of security.

Hundreds of arrests have been made. People have been clubbed, beaten, doused with pepper spray and “kettled” with nets. And yet the movement continues to grow, spreading to other cities.

It’s possible that bankers and CEOs, insulated in their glass walls and surrounded by enablers and yes-drones, are unaware exactly how much they are loathed by vast swathes of the American people. It’s more likely that they know and don’t care.

What’s certain is that Wall Street and the federal government are twined so tightly together that it’s impossible to say whose head is up whose ass.

Waiting for Congress to pull a Teddy Roosevelt and “scrub the American eagle clean,” as he was depicted doing in editorial cartoons during a time of serious corporate cleanup and trustbusting, is an exercise in futility. Our politicians have neither the courage nor see OCCUPY Page 7

the character to regulate corporations the way they need to be regulated.

Those who’ve taken to the streets in New York City, Los Angeles, Portland, Maine, Chicago and Denver know they can’t depend on government to stand up for them. They hope to use the tactics that toppled governments during the Arab Spring to help force change here at home. Whether it will have any impact remains to be seen. I hope it does.

Still, there’s something I’d like to point out, a little bit of truth that gets missed in all of the justified anger: Wall Street is an expression of the American people, just as Congress is an expression of the American people — the latter being an inconvenient truth if you’re a tea partier.

Wall Street exists because we have created a consumer culture that depends on spending and consumer debt to stay afloat. As long as Americans keep using credit cards, keep spending more than they earn and keep carrying debt, Wall Street will be Wall Street.

The interest paid on mortgages, credit cards and car payments is the milk and honey of Wall Street. If you stop buying things you don’t need, the fat cats won’t be nearly as fat — but the

rest of us will have regained our economic independence.

The key is refusing to interact with Wall Street, shopping locally, eating locally, buying only what you can afford with cash, taking your money out of banks, annuities and mutual funds and depositing it in a credit union — and doing as much for yourself as possible, repairing, reusing and doing without.

Until you make these changes, you are an active participant in the system you hope to change.

You can also support Boulder Ballot Question 2H, part of a grassroots effort to amend the U.S. Constitution to eliminate personhood rights for corporations.

For decades, Wall Street has sent us the message that the ability to buy and sell what we choose is freedom. I remember Cold War-era discussion on the news during which the harshness of life in the Soviet Union was portrayed in terms of lack of consumer goods. But freedom isn’t about stuff or commerce or even money. It’s about being able to decide your own future, and that’s something you can’t do if your credit cards, student loans or mortgage payments own you.

true agenda, which is complete control over the illicit drug market.

If we legalize marijuana in 2012, we will have opened Pandora’s box.

Marijuana legalization will set precedent for the legalization of all illicit drugs, including heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine. Legalizers, primarily funded by out-of-state billionaires George Soros and Peter Lewis, will finance unscrupulous attorneys who will argue that you cannot legalize one illicit drug and not the other. Allow me to make this very clear, for every tax dollar legalizers claim marijuana legalization will create, it will cost tax payers over $8 to clean up the mess caused by the 40 percent increase in the number of recreational users, along with the cost of addiction and increased crime.

Here’s something to consider about legalizers. They lie. They have outright Boulder Weekly

lied to me and to you. To prove it, let me ask you a few questions: How many other approved medicines are smoked?

How many come in unmeasured doses?

How many have unknown strengths?

How many are taken as often as you “think” needed? How many are taken in crude form, such as bread mold or (aspirin) tree bark? How many are voted on by the general public? How many circumvent the safety of the FDA? How many have no warnings on harm? How many are “recommended” by unsavory doctors, yet not prescribed (avoids liability by recommending)?

How many people are allowed to grow or produce their own medicine? How many medicines allow for some unnamed doper dude to hold their stash? The answer to these questions are obvious: Zero. see LETTERS Page 8

In my opinion, medical marijuana is the biggest scam ever to be perpetrated against we the people.

Several years ago, San Diego County in California conducted a study on who was using medical marijuana for any type of serious illness.

The results were shocking. Only 2 percent were using it for something serious, 98 percent were using it for undocumented and undiagnosable pain, including menstrual cramps and pain caused by wearing new shoes. You know how the saying goes: fool us once, shame on them, fool us twice, shame on us! Don’t buy the marijuana lie.

Linda Taylor/Fountain

Reject proposal for public wi-fi in Longmont For those who may have forgotten, the ill-advised specter of a City of Longmont-operated wi-fi system first arose 15 years ago. The 18-mile fiber system never made it out of the starting blocks, however, as first one then another private company failed in their attempts to run the network before succumbing to bankruptcy. A third provider arguably “won” a bid to operate the system in 2009 before wise voters finally pulled the plug the same year.

Based on this narrative, one would think the entire matter had been settled. Kaput, fold your tents, cut your losses and move on — settled.

Yet here comes the city government once again with yet another attempt to reanimate the corpse, bringing to mind the definition of insanity as repeating the same act over and over with the anticipation of different results — except there’s plenty of empirical evidence from similar publicly funded wi-fi boondoggles throughout the nation going bust to accompany Longmont’s long, fumbling history.

To be fair, not all muni wi-fi systems fast-tracked it to oblivion. For example, Chattanooga, Tenn., launched what’s billed as the nation’s fastest fiber network just this year — but the city’s dismal 1G speed hardly recommends it as an alternative to the 3G and 4G wireless broadband services provided by private competitors.

Publicly funded wi-fi — or, for that matter, any other service in which government entities directly compete against the private sector — is both unnecessary and unfair. Private companies shoulder the burden of investments and innovations, and one misstep could induce customers to jump to a competitor’s client list or even put the company out of business entirely.

A faux pas in a heavily governmentsubsidized operation, by contrast, seldom elicits more than an “oops” from unaccountable public bureaucrats administering the programs with taxpayer dollars. If you have no skin in the game, there’s no incentive to strive for customer satisfaction.

If the city government is allowed to proceed with this unnecessary system, not only will Longmont citizens suffer, but so will the companies with which the government wi-fi system will unfairly compete. As written, the ballot issue would enable the city to offer wi-fi services directly or lease fiber to private providers who would be granted access to a network built with taxpayer dollars. Since Longmont already regulates existing privately operated providers, this would render the city both regulator and competitor.

In addition, the ballot issue appears to have no provision prohibiting the city from cross-subsidizing its wi-fi service with the Longmont public power utility, a potentially lucrative break not enjoyed (nor should it be) by the private sector. Moreover, the city government hasn’t divulged how it will fund, maintain, or operate the service if the ballot measure passes, apparently adopting the “Nancy Pelosi defense” by telling voters they need to pass the measure to find out what’s in it.

Finally, the city hasn’t handed in its homework by conducting an assessment of whether Longmont even needs any services not already delivered by other providers. Instead of bolstering their cause by conducting a study quantifying Longmont’s current and future needs or whether gaps in service exist, the government simply seems hell-bent on ramrodding into practice a service that is redundant, unnecessary, and a proven loser in the past in Longmont and nearly everywhere else it’s been implemented.

Cain’s insane Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain needs help.

This dope thinks he’s going to attract voter support by taking potshots at the Occupy Wall Street movement. In a TV interview on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Cain called the protesters “jealous” Americans who “play the victim card.”

Cain also called them “anti-capitalism” and suggested that the rallies had been organized by labor unions to serve as a “distraction, so that many people won’t focus on the failed policies of the Obama administration.”

Oh sure, that makes a whole lot of sense. That’s why so many card-carrying Democrats are protesting Wall Street and corporate cash, it’s because they are secretly mad at Obama. Um, last time we checked, it was Obama who was publicly dressing down CEOs and other corporate fat cats for taking huge bonuses as they were getting a government bailout.

At one point he even set a $500,000 limit on pay to executives of companies receiving a bailout.

So no, Herman, don’t try to pin this on Obama. This is more about the Republicans than it is about Democrats.

As House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., aptly pointed out in a separate interview, we didn’t see the Republicans jumping all over the Tea Party when its members were demonstrating — or spitting on members of Congress in the Capitol.

Pot patrol We love how the state’s Medical Marijuana Enforcement Division (MMED) puffed out its chest last week when it helped shut down a Carbondale dispensary suspected of selling illegal drugs like cocaine.

Yeah, we get it, the MMED is a big, tough operation, cracking down on dispensaries that stray.

“Today is an example of how the MMED provides a valuable resource for other law enforcement agencies by partnering with them to provide both agencies with increased manpower and institutional knowledge to stop illegal activity within Colorado’s medical marijuana industry and our state,” the division crowed in a press release.

MMED Director Dan Hartman added, “While the MMED is currently working to educate members of the medical marijuana industry and bring them into compliance with current statute and rule, we will not hesitate to take immediate action when we are made aware of blatant illegal activity.”

Is it just us, or are they overdoing it a bit, like they’re trying to compensate for something? Could it be that they have been perceived in the past as an understaffed, overworked rubber-stamping Boulder Weekly

and he is an inline hockey player who wasn’t wearing a facemask when he incurred the aforementioned injury, described succinctly in the flier as catching “a stick in the mouth.”

An inline hockey tournament and free benefit concert have been scheduled

Moving in: Boulder gets occupied

by Elizabeth Miller

A

t Occupy Boulder events later this week, the messaging may struggle to stay on target. Signs could relay a medley of wants and wishes from the government, endorsements on current ballot issues for Boulder County, and tried and true calls for peace. The events planned, a protest Friday evening and a rally and march Saturday morning, were organized by two of several Occupy Boulder groups, which haven’t yet combined forces and are actively declining to identify leaders, instead handing organizational tasks to the masses.

But it’s possible that the method is the message. And these protesters banding together to voice their various concerns share a prevailing discontent: They’re not happy with their representation at present and want to give the government a shakedown.

“Basically I’m just an American woman living down the street who decided to take some action to unite the people of Boulder to take action for this movement that is now sweeping across the country,” says Rebecca Sell, chief coordinator for one of the Occupy Boulder groups. “I’m no politician. I don’t claim to know or understand policies. My husband and I, we’re on food stamps, living in affordable housing, and I have an interview Wednesday for a $9-an-hour job.”

Sell created the Facebook page for Occupy Boulder, which promotes the events for all Occupy Boulder groups.

Her group had planned an Oct. 15 rally, then found out about another group planning a rally that day. Rather than double-book attendees, Sell says, they’ve moved their event to November.

“We’re hoping for unification here in Boulder, not to have so many little protests all over the place but more to unify all together to have larger events, larger rallies,” Sell says.

But if there are core differences between one Occupy Boulder and another, they should remain separate, she says.

In the meantime, there’s little concern that people will get rallied-out.

“I think emotions are running pretty high right now. I think that the 10 October 13, 2011

If somebody who is a hedge There’s a lot of pent-up energy that fund manager wants to come down and needs to be voiced,” Sell says. “The say ‘Yeah, I don’t pay enough in taxes.

“We represent, in general, I think, a “The system is rigged toward a very collective resistance to the corporate minute portion of the population, and powers that be and to an entire system we need to do something to fix that, of government and way of life that is no and I think taking the momentum from longer useful to us,” Sell says. “We don’t this movement and trying to turn it into have all the answers right now. I think actual policy should be the overall goal.” this is the time for uniting.

That could mean radical steps like “The movement doesn’t turn anyrestructuring Congress or adjusting the one away. It’s important. It’s about powers of the Supreme Court, and

almost certainly means reforming campaign finance laws and the rights given to corporations.

“I think at the end of the day people in elected office pay attention to the potential voters on various issues,” says Francis Beer, a retired University of Colorado political science professor.

Protesting is a tested method of demonstrating popular resistance or support, and protests show that at the end of the day, votes trump money.

“It’s a way of showing strength in numbers,” Beer says. “It’s before we go to the ballot box. It’s before we take public opinion surveys. It’s unfiltered. … It’s a form of popular lobbying. It’s letting people in elected office know that there are a lot of people out in the world who are paying attention to what they’re doing or not doing.”

Conveniently, the act of protesting does what some of the Occupy Boulder protesters say they mean to prioritze as a message.

“It’s a form of push back against the money,” Beer says. “It’s the people against the money.”

And though the message of Occupy Wall Street was initially difficult to extract and the end goal is still unclear, their demands are not.

“The concrete demands are implicit.

The concrete demands are that the legislators pay attention to the needs of ordinary people,” Beer says.

But to get anywhere, the protesters are going to have to stay mad for a while. Or at least renew the passions when the weather improves.

“People won’t see their demands met, and spring is a much more friendly environment for demonstrating,” Beer says. “But it’s a mistake to disregard the demonstrations and figure, well it’ll be over soon and they’ll all go away.”

Eastern Europe, the Middle East and America in the 1960s all show that demonstrations can have an effect.

“Demonstrations can be very powerful political tools, and demonstrations can have very substantial political impacts,” he says. “Just because we haven’t had that in our country in half a century doesn’t mean that the demonstrations are wrong.”

It’s

doesn’t make economic sense to put barriers in place,”diZerega explains.

Barriers to contact include the cost of phone calls, driving from a distance, child care costs and time off work.

And both the American Correctional Association and the American Bar Association have policy statements supporting low-cost inmate phone access.

a well-known fact that prison inmates with strong family and community ties are less likely to wind up back inside the joint once they are released.

So why are state prison systems, including Colorado’s, charging inmates high rates for phone calls, rates that discourage prisoners’ often frayed home attachments? * * * Hassan Latif spent 18 years in Colorado prisons.

“My first few years inside, all I thought about was escaping,” he says. “I got high in the county jail. Even if I got out, I didn’t see options. I saw myself as prey.”

Released in 2006, he’s now a case manager at Turnabout, a Denver nonprofit that provides assistance to returning inmates — 5,000 of them in 2010.

This April Hassan and Turnabout’s director, the Rev. Tina Yankee, spent two days teaching ethics classes at Metropolitan State College of Denver — a surprising undertaking for a man who, his wife says, “always felt he was going to go down in a hail of bullets.”

Imani Latif met Hassan in New York City when both worked for the Department of Health.

“He was my best friend,” she says. “I fell in love with him, but he was engaged to someone else.”

They married other people. She had a son. He moved to Colorado. Her marriage ended. When Hassan’s former wife wrote to Imani saying, “I’m leaving him. He’s in prison,” the two picked up where they left off.

She moved to Colorado and they married in 1992.

“My wife stayed with me for 18 years inside, and if not for that support I wouldn’t be talking to you now,” Hassan says.

“My perception of his life was different than his,” she says.

They wrote letters. Imani drove two hours each way to visit. An AIDS counselor, she couldn’t afford prison call costs, but Hassan got a “high-paying” job, $150 a month, in a prison print shop and phoned her once a week.

“It was cheaper back then,” he says.

“She told me I was a good person, I could go back to school, have a life,” Hassan explains. “That seemed far-fetched, but the chance to go to that visiting room and see her made me walk away from trouble.”

Imani is now the founding director of It Takes A Village, a nonprofit that addresses health issues among people of color.

Hassan thinks prison phone-call costs in Colorado are “prohibitive.” Add in the difficulties of visits, he says, and “it appears they don’t want families to be together. It’s something deliberate.”

* * * Taxpayers don’t pay for prison phone calls. Inmates and their families do.

You can’t call an inmate. The inmate calls you from a public phone in a cellblock, but only if you’re on a pre-approved list. An automated voice tells you the call is from a particular prisoner and asks if you want to accept it. Calls are limited to 20 minutes.

One reason rates for calls are high is that prisons pay for specialized phone equipment and security costs.

However, if a state corrections department adds a surcharge to each call — and all but eight do — or hikes up the charge for each minute, or both, the resulting rates generate large profits.

These profits, or “commissions,” usually go back into corrections budgets.

Commissions have been called “kickbacks,” but courts have repeatedly ruled them legal.

Last April, Prison Legal News (PLN), a national monthly based in Vermont, published a groundbreaking 50-state study of prison phone contracts. It detailed the millions of dollars in profits states extract from prisoner phone use. The national total came to $152.44 million in 2007-08, PLN said.

The PLN state survey also showed that Colorado prisons had, and still have, the highest rate in the United States for local collect calls — $7.35 for 20 minutes.

According to PLN, Colorado’s 2007-08 commissions came to $3.1 million. That was $2.6 million net.

Current inmate phone use is providing Colorado corrections with $2.024 million net in commissions, DOC says.

Colorado prisons’ high phone charges invite scrutiny by Carolyn Cosmos

14 October 13, 2011

He suspects that call profits go to wealthy owners of the phone companies. * * * “Studies show family contact helps motivate prisoners to do well and complete programs,” says Margaret diZerega, director of the Family Justice Program at the Vera Institute of Justice in New York City. “An outlet to talk about frustrations lowers violence, and inmates with family support have fewer parole violations and less homelessness.”

Charlie Sullivan is director of international CURE (Citizens United for Rehabilitation for Errants) in Washington, D.C., a prison reform group. He says inmate phone calls to families are “rehabilitative opportunities” easily scotched by “exorbitant” costs. A Vera Institute report labels such costs “a tax on poor families,” penny wise and pound foolish.

Families complement or substitute for public programs, especially when prisoners get back out, so “it

* * * “I was born in Denver,” says Don Walker, “and I have a lot of family here, mostly incarcerated.”

A repeat offender finally sentenced to 16 years on drug charges, he did time with his own dad: “He was my cellie. They’ll put you with a family member if you’re both inside because people will stay out of trouble if they’re in a cell with an older brother, an uncle.”

While Walker was imprisoned, his father “died in the joint at age 73, and I couldn’t go to the funeral,” an experience that turned Walker’s life around, he says. He was overcome with grief.

“I started to accept responsibility for my actions.”

J. Frankenstein

He organized a men’s group, stayed away from troublemakers, and educated himself about the law to the point where he could represent himself in court, get his conviction overturned, and win his own release.

During his earlier imprisonments, calls cost less and Walker spent most of his prison-kitchen wages of $30 to $60 a month phoning his mother, who was living out of state, and calling a sister and friends. That changed in 1993.

“Phone charges just shot up,” he says. “I didn’t talk to anybody.”

His family couldn’t pay for calls or for visits, and “I had no money,” he says. “We wrote letters, but they’d take weeks to arrive.”

Then, in 2007, Colorado sent 700 inmates to an Oklahoma prison, and Walker was one of them. All contact with his family and friends stopped.

“I started to believe nobody cared about me. ‘Leave him in there to die,’” he says. “But when my mother in Texas reached me, she said, ‘I’ve been looking for you for over a year.’”

Out of prison in 2010, Walker now says the lack of contact with family and friends was a good thing. It helped him put his old ways behind him.

He got a job as a flagger with a traffic management company, took classes required by parole, became a Turnabout volunteer, started dating a woman who worked for the schools, Princess Greene, and got elected to the board of Mile High United Way in Denver. He sometimes worked 12- to 14-hour days. * * * Courts have ruled that prisoners do not have unrestricted rights to phone calls. They’ve said that high rates and other constraints don’t violate inmate rights. So there are no legal issues when the Colorado Inmate Phone System (CIPS) sells pricey phone time through prison canteens.

As with local calls, Colorado charges $7.35 for any 20-minute collect call inside the state. That rate is among the nation’s highest, ranking 12th, behind Oregon ($17.75), and Maryland ($8.85), but far above Florida ($2).

Missouri doesn’t permit commissions. Prison collect calls anywhere in the state and long-distance calls are $3 for 20 minutes. An identical long-distance call in Colorado clocks in at $21.75.

Colorado prison debit calls are cheaper, and a 20-minute debit call anywhere in the state costs $3.85.

However, the “J-Pay” system many families use to put debit-call money into a prisoner’s account charges high fees, taking $2.95 out of a $20 deposit.

This July, Colorado inmates placed 126,604 phone calls, and of these, 77.2 Boulder Weekly

Hayward “Habe” Lawson and Dianne Tramulto-Lawson

DOC director agrees to review phone rates Tom Clements, executive director of the Colorado Department of Corrections, told Boulder Weekly on Oct. 7 that he’ll review the high phone fees charged Colorado inmates and their families when the prison-telephone contract with Value Added Communications comes up for renewal next February.

“Calls are important to reentry and family support,” Clements says. “I will look at the rates family members pay, and I feel confident we’ll be able to do something to make calls more family friendly” and bring the rates down.

Clements was appointed by Gov. Hickenlooper last January.

He came from Missouri, where he managed 21 adult prisons and developed a particular expertise in parole.

percent were debit, Department of Corrections (DOC) Director of Finance Karl Spiecker told Boulder Weekly. Only 9.9 percent were the high-rate collect calls, he says, and 12.9 percent were cheaper pre-paid collects. * * * “Most people who go to prison are poor,” Don Walker says. “That’s why they’re in there, caught up in dysfunctional families, a generational pattern, lack of resources, opportunities, a need for more education.”

Poverty boosts recidivism, he says.

“You don’t see wealthy people in and out,” he says. “If you go back in you see the same people all the time, and 98 percent had public defenders.”

Walker, who identifies himself as a black man, doesn’t think the judicial system is racist.

“It’s not a black, white, Mexican thing,” he says.

It’s economics.

Barbara Gill, a paralegal and independent advocate, shares Walker’s views. She’s helped about 30 lowincome Colorado inmates and their

families over the last 15 years.

“Most of these families don’t have a lot of money, and every time [an inmate] calls collect, it costs almost $8,” she says. “It doesn’t take many of those and the families can’t pay their phone bills and end up getting their phones shut off. A lot don’t have money to buy gas to visit.”

She continues, “The prison really doesn’t care if they get to talk to their families. I think it’s important for them to have contact. Good or bad, they are still family. Many have completely lost contact.” * * * “I was an old, hard-nosed convict,” says Hayward Lawson, or “Habe,” the son of a Kentucky coal miner.

In 1973, after repeated run-ins with the law as a thief and burglar in Colorado, Lawson wound up with a life sentence for a murder he says he didn’t commit.

A high school teacher, Dianne Tramulto, began writing to him, then visiting. There were frequent phone calls that Tramulto paid for, and they were married by proxy in 1982.

“He was the real deal,” she told StoryCorps.

“She was this sexy Italian broad,” Lawson was quoted as saying.

He was paroled in 2004. Lawson now mentors youngsters on probation.

He’s part of the team creating L-TOP, a new corrections program for longterm offenders. Tramulto, now Tramulto-Lawson, is the president of the state chapter of CURE. “I was a piece of shit, and without Dianne, I’d still be inside,” Lawson says.

“Society threw me away. She gave me a direction, motivated me to change, and we’ve been ‘hand in hand’ ever since.”

“Dianne is my angel,” he says, adding that their frequent phone calls “gave us a marriage.”

But they were expensive. Like Hassan Latif, Lawson thinks phone profits likely fund luxuries for someone — “cars, a fancy lifestyle.”

* * * What happens to Colorado corrections commission money? Under state law, phone profits must go into programs that provide educational, recreation or social benefits to inmates or fund specified inmate needs, says DOC Director Tom Clements.

The number one beneficiary is education services for inmates and educational equipment and supplies, he says. That includes library services and GED classes.

The money also pays for recreation equipment, cable TV, faith-based and volunteer programs and grooming services.

Some Colorado advocates and people with loved ones inside say these programs are so important to prisoner welfare that any phone commission cuts will make inmate life even harder.

“Cutting inmate programs is not the only option if you reduce phone costs,” says Christie Donner, director of the Colorado Criminal Justice Reform Coalition, an alliance of 100 groups.

Colorado sends 4,100 people a year back inside for technical parole violations, she says.

“If you reduce that by 93 people, you recoup a million dollars. Keep 287 inmates out, and you’d save $3.1 million.”

One of the people back inside for a parole violation is Walker. Greene, his girlfriend, says he’ll be back out in November.

“He was exhausted, working long shifts into the evenings and parole wanted him to take and pay for more classes at night,” she says of the circumstances surrounding his parole violation.

“He went back to his old neighborhood for a party. I tried to stop him.

“It’s tough,” she says, “but I’m going to stick with him, ride this through — I do love him a lot.”

Search for A&S dean launched The University of Colorado Boulder has launched a national search for a new dean for its largest college, the College of Arts and Sciences.

John Stevenson, dean of the Graduate School, will chair the search committee.

Todd Gleeson, who announced his resignation in August, will complete his 10th year as dean of the College of Arts and Sciences in June 2012 and then return to teaching in the integrative physiology department. The new dean selected will begin his or her duties prior to the 2012 fall semester.

Questions, nominations and comments may be directed to Stevenson at John.Stevenson@colorado.edu or 303492-2890.

New space discoveries, in Spanish A group of planetary scientists led by a CU faculty member has released a new Spanish-language teaching resource featuring colorful graphics and explanatory text to spread the word on the latest space discoveries. The resource is called “Descubrimientos en Ciencias Planetarias,” Spanish for “Discoveries in Planetary Science,” and is an easy-to-use computer slide set that college and high-school instructors can present in the classroom.

University of Colorado Boulder faculty member Dave Brain of the Laboratory for Atmospheric Space Physics is the project leader.

The most recent slide set, “A Planet Orbiting Two Suns” is about the recent discovery of a planet nicknamed “Tatooine” outside Earth’s solar system that was announced by astronomers just a few weeks ago.

The slide sets are starting to be used on a regular basis in classrooms and science centers in Spain, according to planetary scientist Jesus MartinezFrias of the Centro de Astrobiologia in Madrid.

The 23 Spanish slide sets can be downloaded for free at dps.aas.org/ education/discovery-spanish. English versions are available at dps.aas.org/ education/dpsdisc.

The project is supported by the Division for Planetary Sciences of the American Astronomical Society.

CU expands mental health services The University of Colorado Boulder Weekly

Boulder will become the first campus in the state to offer the Interactive Screening Program, a program allowing students to screen their mental health online and anonymously, with support from a counselor.

The program rollout on Oct. 9 came three days after National Depression Screening Day. A pilot of the initiative was held last spring on campus.

The Interactive Screening Program was developed specifically for college students by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and will be administered at CU-Boulder by counseling and psychological services.

Campus mental health professionals initiate the interactive screenings by identifying groups of potentially at-risk students and emailing them invitations to complete a 10-minute questionnaire.

A counselor then sends the screening results to the respondent with a personalized message.

The Interactive Screening Program is in place at 30 college and university campuses across the nation.

New worm findings emerge A new study of sediments laid down shortly after an asteroid plowed into the Gulf of Mexico 65.5 million years ago suggests that worms may have been the first animals to show themselves following the global catastrophe.

Evidence from North Dakota shows networks of crisscrossing burrows less than three inches above the “K-T boundary layer,” which marks the global catastrophe and the line between the Cretaceous and Tertiary periods.

CU’s Karen Chin, an associate professor of geological sciences, and her colleagues are still working to understand the timing of the fossil burrows as they relate to the K-T extinction boundary.

Chin said she believes that they likely were made within a few thousand years after the extinction event, and that future studies should help narrow that window and provide more precise estimates.

Chin gave a presentation on the new findings at the annual meeting of the Geological Society of America this month in Minneapolis.

by Theo Romeo incredibly fast moving and goes through cement and soil,” says Lanzano. “So, yes, this is a fairly common cleanup.”

Lanzano couldn’t say for certain how many dry cleaning sites his program had seen, but says they made up a substantial portion of small-scale EPA environmental cleanups.

It’s pretty much a given with older dry cleaning sites.

In 2004, Boulder conducted an environmental assessment of Art Cleaners (1717 15th St.), after the business moved to a new location, and found high concentrations of Perchloroethylene at the site, which had leaked into the area’s groundwater.

According to Art Cleaners, Perc is no longer used at the new site. Art Cleaners converted to the GreenEarth Cleaning system, an alternative to Perc that, when released into the soil, degrades into sand.

But Perc was definitely used at Leslie the Cleaners, and to make matters worse, the prior business to occupy the space wasn’t the cleanest.

“Historically, the site was used as a filling station,” says Turner-Naranjo.

The estimated soil and groundwater cleanup in Loveland was priced at $555,800, which needed to come from the city’s budget.

Loveland was not only able to secure more than half the cost through Colorado’s Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund, which Lanzano helped secure, but was able to get a better price for the lot from the owner.

“The property owner was not in a position to clean up the site,” says Turner-Naranjo. “So we were able to

negotiate the price.”

The Brownfields Loan is funded through EPA grants, according Lanzano, and all told will supply $313,000 of the total bill. The remainder of the cost will be covered by the city’s budget.

After the site has been demolished and cleaned up, the city will determine the function of the land based on what adjacent sites, which the city has also purchased, will become.

“It could be mixed use or residential by the end,” says Turner-Naranjo. “We also need a place for people to park.”

So Leslie the Cleaner, which looks more like a quaint old 1950s diner than a contamination site, will be wiped from Loveland’s downtown area later this year, according to Lanzano.

“This is land recycling at its best,” says Lanzano. “Sometimes cleanup funding like this is really hard to find, but not in this case.”

The grant funding seemed to fall in line perfectly with Loveland’s redevelopment plans, according to TurnerNaranjo.

“It seems to be a win-win,” says Turner-Naranjo. “The state wants it cleaned up, and the city wants to redevelop it.”

And if the site does become a parking lot after all, what started thousands of years ago in Rome could come around full circle when some unwitting man is forced to relieve himself next to his vehicle before making the long drive back home.

It just might be the catalyst for something that changes the world.

ho knows how it started? Maybe a young Roman soiled himself in his sleep and awoke to find that the previous night’s wine stains had miraculously disappeared from the midsection of his toga. Either way, it was the beginning of dry cleaning, and it came from a dirty place — urine.

The truth is, not all that much has changed. The industry decided to replace human and animal waste with chemicals, but the result of dry cleaning that dapper suit is still hazardous.

So when Loveland started to redevelop its downtown area a few years ago, city planners knew one of its proposed building sites, a dry cleaning facility called Leslie the Cleaner, should at least undergo a preliminary environmental assessment.

The results were to be expected, according to Tracy Turner-Naranjo, environmental compliance administrator for the City of Loveland. The city did a more thorough analysis and found soil and groundwater contamination.

One of the culprits, common with many dry cleaning sites, was Perchloroethylene, also known as Perc at dry-cleaning industry cocktail parties.

The chemical is on the EPA’s hazardous air contaminant list, but the Leslie site hasn’t been flagged for air contamination.

According to Ted Lanzano, brownfields project manager for the Environmental Protection Agency, these cleanups are rather common with dry cleaning sites.

“The solvent used in dry cleaning is

he Who’s rock opera Tommy is now more than 40 years old. But one won’t hear Who singer Roger Daltrey accepting the notion that this piece of music, or for that matter, Who music in general, is something that falls into the realm of nostalgia or oldies.

Asked by a writer from Seattle Weekly during a recent teleconference interview if he could “pinpoint the moment that you realized that your audience was more interested in hearing what you did in the past rather than what you are doing in the present and the future,” Daltrey instead points to the enduring viability he sees in The Who’s back catalog.

And he didn’t accept the notion that the band’s audience is only a group of baby boomers interested in reliving their favorite old Who music.

“I don’t know that that’s necessarily true, that they’re not interested in what we’re doing in the future,” he says.

“There’s a whole new young audience for Who music. It doesn’t seem to have dated at all. There’s something about the way that music is structured, the voicing, the chord voicings, the lyrics, that seems to have not aged. There’s a lot of music from that period that you put on and it sounds very dated. There’s something about Who music that you put it on and it sounds as up to date as ever. I don’t know what that ingredient is, but that seems to be the way it is.”

The discussion of The Who’s place in the present is timely because Daltrey is currently finishing up an American leg of a tour in which he performs Tommy in its entirety.

In addition, there have been reports that Who guitarist Pete Townshend wants the current edition of the band to tour The Who’s other major rock opera, Quadrophenia, next see DALTREY Page 24

year. Such a tour would follow this fall’s release of a super-deluxe edition of that 1973 rock-opera album.

Commenting on the rumored Who tour, Daltrey says he has no direct news about such an outing, and sees obstacles to the tour happening.

“We’ve got problems to solve, because Pete is having terrible trouble with his hearing,” Daltrey says. “There are no plans on any touring that I know of. I’ve heard it said that Pete has said he would like to tour Quadrophenia next year. Obviously, there are going to be things that are going to need to be solved before we can do that, one of them being, can I still sing it? And also, we have to solve the sound problems, because I don’t want to end up touring any kind of music with The Who and have it end up with Pete losing his hearing for good. So those are the issues we have to solve. They’re not impossible to solve.”

If the Quadrophenia tour materializes, Daltrey will have no problems bringing that show back to the concert stage, even though The Who, which has convened sporadically since a 1982 tour that was billed as a farewell outing, performed Quadrophenia in its entirety as the centerpiece of a previous tour, in 1997.

story of its characters — of Tommy, the deaf, dumb and blind boy who encounters shady characters like his Uncle Ernie and cousin Kevin before being hailed as a messiah after he regains his senses. The message, Daltrey says, helps give the rock opera its continuing resonance four decades after it was written.

“For me, as the singer of Tommy, the original singer, it was always the story of our spiritual journey and the human condition,” he says. “And the characters in it that are written about as people are just metaphors and devices to kind of explain parts of our human condition that we go through in life. You know, when we bump into bullying and spite, it’s cousin Kevin, which happens to us.

I’m sure it happens to everybody. When we bump into malevolent people, that’s kind of Uncle Ernie. We continually go and explore different areas of our brains with different substances to take us out of the normal. That’s the Acid Queen.

And I think there’s not anyone on this planet that sometime in their lives somewhere, maybe some more than others, who doesn’t sit there thinking, ‘See me, feel me, touch me, heal me.’ So I think it has that resonance within our spirits. To me, that’s what it’s always been about, is the journey of the human spirit.”

Rose Hill Drive’s sound evolved during hiatus

by Cory O’Brien

I

n a lot of ways, being in a band is like being in a marriage. There is an ebb and flow to bands that stay together for long periods of time — the members grow apart and come back together, finding ways to compromise over ever-evolving influences and ideas. And sometimes, like in a marriage, the best way to keep things going is to spend a little time apart.

After their 2008 release of the sludgy blues-rock album Moon is the New Earth, the members of Boulder’s Rose Hill Drive were beginning to feel burned out.

They had, after all, been together for almost 10 years, since drummer Nate Barnes was 16 and guitarist Daniel Sproul was in eighth grade. So, like many lasting relationships, the group decided to take some time off to re-evaluate the band.

“We got to the point where it wasn’t as fun for us, and it just didn’t feel right,” Barnes says.

“We felt like it was futile to keep forcing it. … We decided to step away for a bit, and it made us realize how much the group meant to us and gave us a new appreciation of what we were doing.”

The group spent 17 months out of the public eye, and Barnes says the band didn’t do anything Rose Hill Drive-related for about half of that time. Barnes played in the Denver band The Dualistics, eventually recruiting bassist Jimmy Stofer from that group into Rose Hill Drive. When the band resurfaced in July 2010, it was with a new vision, new creative input, a new member (Stofer) and a new direction for their sound.

“I think bringing a new member into the band really changed the whole creative process,” Barnes says.

“We didn’t want to just plug [Stofer] into our current formula. We wanted him to be equally involved creatively, and put his own stamp on the sound.”

The result of this creative rebirth is Americana, a garagey, blues-influenced album released earlier this year that keeps some of Moon is the New Earth’s grime while showing an impressive willingness to branch out on tracks like “Baby Doncha Know Your Man” and “Pictures of You.” It’s a huge jump forward for the band, showing polish and maturity underneath the wall-of-sound, guitar-driven, testosteronefueled rock that defined the group’s first two albums.

In a lot of ways, you can figure out the direction of Rose Hill Drive by which band they decide to cover during their epic New Year’s Eve shows. During the pre-hiatus years, the group made a national name by doing spot-on tribute shows of Led Zeppelin. Their sound matched the bravado of Zeppelin — the goal, it seemed, was to melt faces with an unrelenting onslaught of full-speed rock ’n’ roll. This year, however, the band chose the White Stripes’ Elephant, and the influence is evident on their new album.

“I think learning those songs definitely took us in a

new direction that was a product of doing that record,” Barnes says. “We have some of those bluesy elements on this record. Any time you spend a lot of time with playing a certain album, it’s bound to shape you a little bit.”

In Elephant, Rose Hill Drive found a great template for their new sound. Perhaps the most rewarding, and surprising, element of Americana is how the group takes some of that White Stripes weirdness in their own direction. On the album closer “Birthdays and Breakups,” for example, the band sabotages a radioready hit by turning the catchiest hook they’ve ever written into an epic nine-minute medley that incorporates the twinkly synths of bright-eyed indie-pop, ’90s grunge hooks, machine-gun drumming and a threeminute coda that wouldn’t sound out of place on the Almost Famous soundtrack.

It’s a fascinating ending, showcasing how versatile Rose Hill Drive can be. Even better, it shows how well that versatility can fit together in one surprisingly cohesive curveball of a song. These curveballs probably wouldn’t have been possible before the group’s selfimposed hiatus, when they were stuck in a rut.

“When you’ve been doing the same thing for as long as I have,” Barnes says, “it’s really refreshing to get out of the box and see some different sides.”

Rose Hill Drive is currently having a banner year, with a well-received album and an opening spot touring with the Stone Temple Pilots. But if “Birthdays and Breakups” is any indication, they still have their masterpiece in them. Americana is a great step for the band, a self-assured record that rewards the group for branching out and taking chances.

Something tells me, however, that their next record will be one they are remembered for. Like the best marriages, Rose Hill Drive keeps getting better with age.

h, Nikola Tesla … if only you could see what electricity can do now.

It may be just as well that Tesla can’t be brought from the past to Boulder this Tuesday, Oct. 18, for the Amon Tobin show, because there is no way someone from his time would survive the terminal mindfuck that will ensue. It will be difficult enough for present-day Boulderites to wrap their heads around what is surely among the most futuristic audio-visual presentations in existence.

Tobin has created a visual storyboard of his latest album ISAM, using a 25-foot-by-14-footby-8-foot installation that is as capable of transforming as Optimus Prime. The series of rectangular cuboids that surround Tobin onstage (liter-

ally, he’s inside one) are brought to vibrant life through projections mapped to the surfaces of each cube as geometric explosions and fractal stardust are melded to each side.

In general, there isn’t much an electronic producer can offer onstage. Studio-based music has to be made interesting somehow, and aside from moving focus to the dance floor, common compensation is a killer DJ booth. Daft Punk is cited as setting the precedent with their famed, 40-foot-tall pyramid that transformed them into the party’s air traffic controllers. Shpongle’s performance at the Boulder Theater inside the Shpongletron introduced Boulder to a similar type of 3-D projection last April. DJ cubes are en see TOBIN Page 27

Amanda Marie’s work is like formal street art

by Krystal Baugher Richard Peterson

S

he is not Banksy, but she is still badass. Amanda Marie Ploegsma’s first museum show — Purity & Credence — is on now at the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art (BMoCA) and there is no sign of her badass-ness slowing down.

Painting is the go-to medium in the art world. It is the easiest to make, sell and ship.

The two-dimensional framework forces artists into one plane — into one distinct set of images — to make a statement and connect with an audience. It’s rare these days to find work that pushes the medium into a new realm, but Ploegsma — she goes by “Amanda Marie” in the art world — finds a way through her adaptation of materials, Ploegsma’s Bird Rider, 2011. Acrylic and spray paint on specifically stencil and spray paint. Her work canvas, sewing patterns, gel medium transfer has a more gallery-specific style, but with charming street-art flair.

Ploegsma grew up in a small North Dakota town cent of the 1950s. and eventually made her way to Colorado, where she “I always wanted to be an artist,” she says, “I attended the Rocky Mountain College of Art and wanted to work for Disney when I was kid and have Design for a couple of years before dropping out. been illustrating ever since. But illustrating can be “I felt I didn’t have to pay a bunch of money to be confining, and I just loved the freedom that painting an artist,” she says. gives me. I’ve finally learned how to combine both.”

And it’s worked out well so far, with a European She often uses both a girl and a boy image that tour coming up, an opening this week at Illiterate have been stripped out of a children’s book and Gallery in Denver, a recent mural painting in Fort thrown into an unknown space. The in-between is Collins, and the BMoCA show. both frightening and fascinating.

“I am making a living off of my art,” Ploegsma “Ploegsma’s sophisticated stencils and spray paints says. “Of course, I’m married and we have a dual transport us to a dream world where fantasy and reality income, but it all goes in the pot to pay the bills, etc. merge,” David Dadone, executive director of BMoCA, We’re not rich or anything. We lead a simple life and says. The use of color makes many of the pieces seem do what we love.” whimsical yet slightly unsettling at the same time.

The love shows through in her work — a mixture Some of the pieces at BMoCA were created on of illustration and painting with characters reminis2008 Obama campaign posters, which give the work a

deeper political layer.

“It’s awesome when people find these things in my work that I hadn’t originally seen,” Ploegsma says. “For example, the mural I did before the [BMoCA] show at a skate park in Fort Collins was of this cement monster that has come to life surrounded by land and rubble; lots of people asked if I was trying to make an environmental statement, but I didn’t see it until they pointed it out.”

Her work has a graceful quality, while being charming and clever at the same time.

It touches an emotional chord of nostalgia and playfulness.

“It is refreshing to see images in this emerging genre of ‘stencilism,’ which are not the overtly violent or super-sexual images that might have originally attracted audiences to the genre,” says Hyland Mather of the Adenken Gallery in Amsterdam. “As ‘stencilism’ matures, Amanda Marie’s work is keeping pace with an evolving and discerning eye.”

Since she uses stencil and spray paint, Ploegsma could easily be a street artist, but chooses not to, since she likes going back in and creating more details.

“I tried it, but wasn’t good at it. I couldn’t put down a stencil and feel finished,” she says.

Her work carries the freshness of street art combined with the more developed layers, precision and technique of classic paintings.

“Honestly, my work is mostly just about me, and my life,” she says. “I just love to chill in my rocking chair, zone out to some good music, think about what happened throughout the day … week … month … year, and paint.”

SO WHEN IS THAT SECOND COMING THING HAPPENING? When you grow tired of waiting for the end of the world or to see Jesus show up in the clouds with trumpets blaring and all that, come and see us.

We believe the Second Coming happened a while ago. We believe the Lord came again within His Word by sharing with the world the deeper or spiritual meaning of His Word (the Bible). In this deeper meaning we learn many beautiful truths about God, salvation, eternal life, how to grow spiritually, etc. It is quite thrilling to dig into the Word and see these powerful teachings within. At the New Church we are not waiting for anything, we are just busy living, loving and enjoying life. Come and see this hopeful new view that the Lord has shared. It’s pretty awesome!

he snow has started to fall. But let’s be honest. To really get the ski and snowboarding season up and running in style, Mother Nature needs a bit of help. A push in the right direction. A jolt of winter.

Some snow. And any kind of snow will do.

Enter snowmaking. Without it, many Colorado ski areas would face a fickle opening date. With it, some consistency is created.

It’s true that aficionados of skiing and snowboarding look down upon man-made snow. It’s also true that they have a point: Mother Nature still does a better job, and there’s nothing quite like two feet of Mom’s finest coating your favorite mountain.

But snowmaking allows resorts to open sooner, when there may be plenty of powder on the upper slopes but the lower mountain is snow-challenged. Man-made snow also allows for other things, like Breckenridge’s massive terrain park or Copper see SNOWMAKING Page 42

SNOWMAKING from Page 41

Mountain’s halfpipe at the bottom of the mountain. And man-made snow also lays down the kind of hard, fast and slippery surface essential for Beaver Creek’s Birds Of Prey World Cup races, where athletes expect and need a firm, icy surface not only for speed (these guys clock in at just over 80 mph in the downhill races) but also for safety. The harder snow surface withstands racers’ edges better, and maintains a consistency not found with natural snow.

While most of us won’t be bombing down any World Cup race courses in the near future, the fact remains that snowmaking benefits us. Among other things, it allows us to start our season earlier.

“Our average opening day is the 15th of October,” says Loveland Ski Area’s John Sellers. “The cold temperatures and our location help, but snowmaking is essential to getting things going in October.”

According to Sellers, Loveland utilizes two types of snowmaking devices, fan guns and nozzle guns.

Fan guns look a lot like what the name suggests. They’re oversized tubes, like a massive Coke can cut in half. Inside the tube, water and air are combined, and a fan pushes the resulting mixture into the air, which crystallizes and falls on the slopes as snow. Nozzle guns look like something left over from a sci-fi flick, with a long nozzle combining pressured air and water to make the snow.

“These guns are better in marginal conditions,” Sellers says of Loveland’s nozzle guns. “On warmer nights, we can still make snow.”

The key, says Sellers, is a magical combination of low temperatures combined with low humidity.

“The colder and dryer it is, the more productive we can be,” he says, noting that Loveland’s high base elevation of 10,800 feet also helps. “We start at the top, where it’s higher and colder, and work our way down.”

As usual, Loveland went up against Arapahoe Basin to be the first central Rocky Mountain resort to open, a race that is, according to Sellers, “good natured and fun.” Both ski areas, however, were trumped by Southern Colorado ski area Wolf Creek, which pulled off something of a coup when the mountain opened on Oct. 8 with a 36-inch base of natural snow.

While Loveland lost the race this year — A-Basin opened Oct. 13 — for Vail, getting open is more of a planned event. Scheduled to open on Nov. 18, the resort relies on snowmaking to ensure that the lifts start

running as scheduled. Still, even with snowmaking, conditions can vary wildly, from one run and one lift available on opening day to last year’s insane powder fest, which illustrates what happens when Mother Nature decides to cooperate.

“Oh yeah, I’d love to have another opening day like last year,” laughs Paul Fillon, senior director of mountain operations for Vail. “Mother Nature really helped us out.”

According to Fillon, rather than making snow as soon as temperatures allow (which is right now), the resort has a schedule and sticks to it. That means commencing snowmaking on Nov. 1, with an eye towards getting limited terrain open by the resort’s scheduled opening day, regardless of what happens with the weather.

“We make snow with an eye towards production,” says Fillon.

“Making snow is expensive, you have to pump water up the mountain, there are all these costs that go into the process.”

That reason, according to Fillon, means that although today’s hightech snowmaking guns can make powder, they’ll more likely be laying down a base that stands up to grooming and skier traffic than trying to reproduce the best that nature has to offer.

“Because of the costs, with any system you want to optimize production,” says Fillon, who says that Vail relies on a variety of types of guns to ensure that the mountain opens on schedule. “We have fan guns, tower guns, about five different types, including energy-efficient guns.”

“It’s a bit art and a bit science,” adds Fillon. “With most guns, there’s pressurized water and air being pumped through the system, and the snowmaker is making adjustments at the gun.”

While this system works, it’s up to the snowmaker to judge the right mix for the current humidity and temperature, variables that can change hour to hour and even minute to minute.

“Automated technology takes the variables out of it,” says Fillon.

“There are new systems that are completely automated, and they are very good at what they do.”

Still, despite this technology, it’s a good idea, according to Fillon, to pray for a bit of help from Mother Nature if you’re a skier or snowboarder.

“We can get pretty close with our technology,” says Fillon of the manmade snow that you’ll find at Vail.

“But we’ll never be able to match Mother Nature.”

s Colorado prepares to limp into Husky Stadium on Saturday to take on the University of Washington, it may seem like the two programs are lightyears apart.

On paper, the difference between the teams is striking, with the Huskies coming in undefeated in Pac-12 play, but just three years ago, Washington fired its coach, Tyrone Willingham, after a grotesque 0-12 season. The Huskies responded by hiring The Colorado Buffaloes will Steve Sarkisian, a proven take on Washington this week. offensive mind as an assistant at Southern California.

Sarkisian was blessed with inheriting “There are a lot of similarities,” NFL-caliber quarterback Jake Locker, Embree said. “You know when who was drafted by the Tennessee Washington has been successful, it’s Titans in the first round of the 2011 been with the California kids. When NFL draft. Locker and Sarkisian turned Colorado has been successful, the playthe program around, going 7-6 last seamakers have been for the most part from son, going to the Holiday Bowl and California.

The team CU staff are trying to emulate Embree inherited is almost as dismal as Washington’s success has shown on the Sarkisian’s, and like Washington, CU has recruiting trail.

“The families [of recruits] are freaking out because they think a fight is going to happen in the living room or something like that,” quips Embree. “It is kind of funny, because invariably in some cases after those home visits are done, you and that coach are going to have some dinner or something like that afterwards.

Stats and facts

Susan France

• Perhaps the most memorable meeting between Washington and Colorado came in 1989, when the fifth-ranked Buffaloes traveled to Seattle following the death of quarterback Sal Aunese.

The Buffs gathered at midfield and pointed skyward in a touching tribute before thrashing the Huskies, 45-28.

• After Colorado’s staggering 48-7 loss at the hands of Stanford on Saturday, CU’s road losing streak climbed even higher (or lower, depending on how you look at it), to 20 games.

• Former Buffs Coach Rick Neuheisel was lured away from Boulder, after an 8-4 season, by Washington. The Huskies enjoyed four winning seasons under Neuheisel, including an 11-1 campaign in 2000.

predictions

Matt Sparkman (4-2): Washington, 27-23 CU will keep it close, unlike last week, and even have a lead late in the game, but a late Washington touchdown will leave Jon Embree sleepless in Seattle.

Guest Picker (4-1) — Bob Condotta, Seattle Times: Washington, 34-17 Washington’s offensive arsenal, rested after a bye week, proves too much for a weary and rebuilding Colorado team.

home visit.’ It is not quite like how they make it out in the movies sometimes about recruiting and all of that.”

While Embree may be bumping into Sarkisian on the recruiting trail, his team’s talent level is nowhere near that of Washington. The Huskies’ quarterback, Keith Price, completes passes at close to a 70 percent clip, nearly as impressive as Stanford’s prolific Andrew Luck. Washington’s run game is equally stout. Led by junior Chris Polk, who has run for more than 100 yards in four of Washington’s five games this season, the Huskies rank fifth in the Pac-12 in rushing yards per game.

The storyline is the same as the past few weeks for the road-standing Buffs.

Injuries have further curtailed what has already been a frustrating season for CU. The latest to go down is CU’s best play-

er, wide receiver Paul Richardson, with a knee sprain. With a plethora of defensive players on the mend, it will be a tough task for Colorado to stop the Washington passing attack.

As the season nears the midway point and the Buffs’ struggles continue, it’s important now, more than ever, to play for the seniors, who are playing their last few games in a CU uniform.

“The seniors, a lot of you only have seven guaranteed opportunities left to play the game, not just for this year, but I’m talking about forever,” said Embree. “If they love the game, they are going to miss it. If they love the game, they are going to sit back three or four years from now and reflect on this year. So they have seven opportunities left, if they are lucky and stay healthy and go all the way through it.”

O

ne month after Colorado participated in its first Pac-12 athletic event, one thing has become painfully clear to all observers.

The Buffs — in most sports — currently lack the speed and athletic firepower to compete in their new conference.

Volleyball, soccer and football have registered a headache-inducing 0-14-1 record in the conference, the only tie coming in a soccer match against Arizona, easily the worst team in the Pac-12. Volleyball has lost every one of its 27 sets in the conference, and soccer has been outscored 11-3. Football has been very competitive against two of the three Pac-12 teams they have faced, but that doesn’t change the fact that they are still looking for their first win of the Pac-12 season.

While the first year has been particularly jolting for the Buffs, it doesn’t mean that the switch in conferences was the wrong decision. The remnants of the Big 12 are reminiscent of Rose and Jack from Titanic, barely clinging to their conference allegiance while looking for lifeboats provided by other conferences.

The Pac-12 also provides the Buffs a terrific chance to compete in the future.

Additional television revenue and the Pac-12’s equal revenue sharing system ensure that the Dal Ward Athletic Center will have a steady flow of cash coming in for the foreseeable future.

The increase in revenue should allow the athletic department to make major upgrades to facilities, attracting top-level recruits to Boulder. This process has already started at CU. Women and men’s basketball, along with volleyball, should all have top 25 2012 recruiting classes, thanks in part to the new volleyball/basketball practice facility.

While the future is bright for the Buffs, they must figure out a way to be competitive in the present. For a team like CU’s soccer squad, which looked primed for a NCAA tournament run at the beginning of the season, to be struggling mightily is concerning. Another losing season for Bill Hempen’s Buffs would set the program miles away from its Sweet 16 days just five years ago.

Both men’s and women’s cross-country figure to finish well at Pac-12 championships late in October.

The football team will likely continue to struggle through the month of October. Road games against Washington and Arizona State are expected to be lopsided losses for the injury-prone and under-talented Buffs.

CU should have a chance to get a few wins on the board in their final three games of the season, when Arizona comes to Boulder and the Buffaloes make trips to UCLA and Utah, both of which have not fared much better than the lowly Buffs in conference play.

Men’s and women’s basketball should provide some relief when their seasons start in mid-November. While the Pac-12 provided an upgrade in difficulty for many sports, both basketball teams should feel relief once conference play rolls around. The Big 12 has been consistently the best women’s basketball conference for the last five years, and the men’s side isn’t that much worse, yielding to only the Big East in terms of conference superiority. The Buffs should be over .500 on both the men’s and women’s side.

CU athletics may struggle mightily in the Pac-12 conference during the 2011-12 academic year, but the move will be worth it. The Buffs’ on-field shortcomings this year will pay dividends in the future.

Beyond a pie in the sky idea

F

by Christie Sounart Susan France

or David Segal, owner of Pie in the Sky Bakery, cooking has been a passion his entire life. Yet this past year he has ventured into the realm of baking, completely focused on his new business of selling gluten-free cheesecakes and key-lime pies.

The decision to sell the desserts stemmed from Segal’s childhood. He grew up in Miami with a mother who loved to bake, and a key lime tree in his backyard that served as the supplier of his first homemade key lime pie. He says cheesecakes were also a regular part of his youth, and he decided to try to sell the two desserts he loved the most, and the two he was best at making.

“You go with what you know,” he says.

Last September, Segal, 53, began successfully selling his desserts at Berry Best Smoothies, a shop he owned for five years until it closed last May. One evening, as Segal was toying with the idea of selling his baked goods as a business, he and his wife struck inspiration on a drive to dinner.

“I said ‘Maybe this is just a pie in the sky idea,’” Segal says. “We looked at each other and said, ‘That’s a great name!’”

The name stuck, and Segal began to make Pie in the Sky Bakery a reality. His cheesecakes and pies were being sold at the Boulder Farmers’ Market along with his “Berry Best Smoothies,” which he has been vending there for 18 years. He says that he felt confident about his desserts, especially since they were gluten-free.

“My wife and I went gluten-free six years ago, and it has made a big difference in our lives,” he says.

“There weren’t a lot of gluten-free cheesecakes on the market, and I thought, ‘I can do that!’”

His first major distributor of Pie in the Sky Bakery became the then-newly opened Alfalfa’s Market. His desserts were quickly picked up by Lucky’s Market, Niwot Market and Lolita’s Market &

Deli. In April of this year, he approached Whole Foods Market, and his cheesecakes and pies were approved for the chain’s entire Western region — 27 stores — early this month.

“I’m taking it one step at a time. Considering that we’ve only been doing this for a year, we have a lot of recognition,” Segal says. “I feel pretty pleased with what we have accomplished.”

Segal says that he plans to keep his business small, and expand only as sales grow and more baking is necessary. For now, he and his assistant baker, Brenda

Alderete, do all of the baking themselves, usually two days a week. In order to accommodate all of the baking, Segal says that he was fortunate to be able to rent space in the existing Brillig Works Bakery & Café.

“I want to make sure that every product that goes out the door is just right,” he says.

Segal is no stranger to the food industry. He attended the Culinary Institute of America and subsequently worked in several restaurants. He took a 10-year break from food to pursue real estate and landed back in the food business in 1993. It was then that he became fully immersed in selling Berry Best Smoothies at various locations before running his own shop.

Despite his experience in retail shops, he plans to stay in the wholesale business and focus on bringing his products to more local stores for now.

“Being in retail, I have developed a really good feel for what people are looking for, especially in a gluten-free market,” he says. “I want to cultivate a local reputation.”

Segal is enthusiastic about selling his desserts.

He says he is especially excited to sell his seasonal pumpkin cheesecake because he knows people will love it. Currently Pie in the Sky Bakery sells key lime pie flavors in classic, mango and toasted coconut, and cheesecake flavors in strawberry, blueberry and chocolate mousse. Segal has plans to expand the flavors.

“I’m always thinking of new flavors,” he says. “I’ve probably got 100 ideas in my head.”

As the fall weather wanes and the Boulder Farmers’ Market winds down for the season, Segal will put his smoothie business aside for the winter and will solely focus on Pie in the Sky Bakery and his delectable desserts.

“Whole Foods and local grocery stores is where I really want to get myself established this year,” he says.

Moongate also offers several Thai, Japanese and Vietnamese selections, including pad thai, sushi and Saigon soft shell crab. Don’t-miss items include the udon noodles, with its hearty mushroom-infused broth, and the classic Chinese-American starters of coconut shrimp and crab Rangoon.

The Obaa-Chan option is the Asian equivalent of a grand slam, serving up steamed rice, a salmon filet, miso soup and a variety of vegetables. Lighter appetites may go for rice in a green tea broth, enhanced by seaweed and flaked salmon. No matter what one chooses, the menu here provides healthy alternatives to the standard egg-and-bacon breakfast.

ongmont’s Georgia boys BBQ has the feel of an old-school barbecue, right down to its location in an old house nestled among warehouses a stone’s throw from downtown.

sonably priced Mexican in a bright setting. The menu ranges from gorditas to shrimp cocktails, and, unsurprisingly, one of the highlights is the $1.50 taco plate, available with such fillings as tongue and carnitas, and simply garnished with cilantro and onion. The sopes, a $3 street snack resembling a tostada with a thick tortilla base, is enough for a light meal on its own.

Shug’s Low Country Cuisine 2017 13th St., Boulder 720-398-9036

T

he menu at the new Shug’s Low Country Cuisine reflects diverse European, African and Caribbean influences, as well as the pervasiveness of such Southern staples as greens and macaroni and cheese. There’s also a nod to the Low Country’s easy access to seafood in the shellfish Po’ Boy sandwiches. But one of the main stars of the show is the first-rate gumbo, brimming with meaty shrimp, perfectly textured okra and pleasing earthy flavor.

oulder’s new Cuba Cuba Sandwicheria spotlights $7 Caribbean-inspired sandwiches, as well as $6.50 rice bowls topped with a choice of vegetables, beef, pork or fish. For $5.75, you can have a fresh Caesar or watercress salad, or a kids plate consisting of either a scaled-down bowl with juice or grilled ham and cheese. Each item represents good value for the money, particularly the meatless Boulder Cuban, featuring grilled veggies and goat cheese, and the addictive Mahi sandwich garnished with spicy garlic habanero aioli.

Tangerine

T

he dollar-to-flavor ratio at Pickled Lemon on The Hill is impressive, as this fast-casual locale offers flavor-packed Middle Eastern plates priced at well under $10. Favorites like beef and lamb kabobs are given new life with such toppings as spicy-sweet Moroccan carrots, incongruous but flavorful Korean kimchi and the namesake pickled lemon. The herbed falafel is another noteworthy item, as these fried chickpea delights have a remarkably delicate coating and light interior.

un by the same folks who operate the neighboring Arugula Ristorante, the recently opened Tangerine is bound to become a top North Boulder venue for breakfast and lunch. Compared to the brunch bill of fare, Tangerine’s lunch menu is relatively modest, featuring entrée salads such as an albacore nicoise, and classic sandwiches including Reubens and BLTs. The brunch menu is where the action is, as it includes delectable lemon ricotta pancakes topped with blueberries, and outstanding chicken and waffles.

T

hree things distinguish The Kitchen [Next Door] from its namesake neighbor, namely a focus on swift service for timeconstrained diners, menu offerings all less than $9, and a family-friendly emphasis. The kids menu features dishes priced at $5.95, and includes such dishes as a scaled-down version of the Kitchen’s famed pulled pork sandwich. For adults, the lamb sandwich with mint sauce, perfect with a side of roasted beets, is a fine choice, as is the salmon salad.

T

he Niwot Market dishes up a Friday night supper that’s as much a community happening as it is an enjoyably casual dining experience. Menus vary from week to week, so it’s best to call ahead to find out what’s cooking. On some evenings the entrée might be fried chicken or steak, on another night, clam pasta. One recent evening, it was a wonderfully executed barbecue dinner featuring both brisket and ribs, sided with extraordinary collard greens.

Listen to your soothsayer

by Michael Phillips

B

ad things happened to Julius Caesar on March 15, proof that you should always listen to your soothsayer.

But there’s more than one way to kill a politician’s soul, as The Ides of March proves, for a while very entertainingly.

The victory in George Clooney’s new film has nothing to do with idealism over cynicism or Republicans over Democrats or the reverse. Rather, the movie taken from Beau Willimon’s play Farragut North is one for the actors, plain and simple.

Sometimes the script cooperates; in the latter stages, too often it obstructs. But I would see The Ides of March again just for the way Jeffrey Wright takes command of the screen in the secondary role of a senator who is either a cipher, a sphinx, a two-faced sphinx, a lying sack of D.C. dung or a steely man of principle.

With one exception, the casting of The Ides of March is so apt, the actors simply have to show up for their first scenes to get a collective grin out of the audience. Ryan Gosling stars as the savvy spokesman for a fervent, ecofriendly Democratic governor (played by Clooney) seeking his party’s nomination for president. Philip Seymour Hoffman plays the campaign’s manager, a tired-seeming veteran, outmatched by his wily counterpart (Paul Giamatti, so right) working for a more conservative, Bible-thumping candidate. Whoever secures the backing and the votes of the senator played by Wright has a lock on the nomination.

Bizarre tale from the future

eal Steel, a tale of a boy and his metallic 8-foot man-pet, may well drill past its own tin-plated inanities and strike gold, or oil, or something. My kid wants to see it; therefore I think it’ll be a hit.

So much for the science and metrics of box office predictions.

We have several films here waging a Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em slugfest for dominance. Primarily we have a boxing picture, complete with father-son issues and a climax designed not simply to warm your heart but roast it on an open fire, welded to speculative fiction set in the near-future, thus handing the audience the screwiest genre mash-up since Cowboys & Aliens.

This one, though, has a clearer audience in mind: everybody who paid money to see a Transformers film and now wants to see a sweeter variation, with less destructive, more companionable robots. (Steven Spielberg served as executive producer on Real Steel, as he did on Transformers.)

Boulder Weekly

That’s one hook. Another is a campaign staff intern played by Evan Rachel Wood, who falls into bed with Gosling’s character, thus sending him places where his idealism doesn’t come in very handy. The differences between the original play and the screenplay are considerable. Clooney’s character didn’t appear onstage in Farragut North; the film goes in more melodramatic and heavy-handed directions than Willimon (who worked for Howard Dean’s campaign in 2004) originally envisioned.

Some of this works; some of it doesn’t. The invented twists and revelations tend to tax the abilities of Gosling, who is on screen almost constantly. What with Crazy, Stupid, Love and Drive this year, Gosling is everywhere, and I suppose he’s growing on me. On the

other hand, I think his luck is outstripping his skill set. There’s a moment in Ides when his allegedly squeaky-clean staffer receives some shocking news, changing everything. And Gosling overplays it.

Badly. Almost comically. And the performance never fully recovers.

It’s a treat, though — a movie-saver, in fact — to watch Clooney dine out on a role with some unexpected side dishes, just as it’s a pleasure to soak up the atmospheric pleasures of The Ides of March. The political skulduggery unfolds in neat little exchanges, and the mood recalls various ’70s paranoia thrillers.

The score by Alexandre Desplat suggests trouble, visible or invisible, underneath every new conversation. The characters stick more to archetypes than to dimensional creations, but there’s plenty of juice to be had with archetypes if they’re played by Hoffman, Giamatti or — as a New York Times reporter with more axes to grind than she has sources to schmooze — Marisa Tomei.

Does the movie have a lot to say about our political process? Nothing we haven’t heard. But director Clooney respects the pacing and the rhythms of another moviemaking era. The material may be shallow but it’s not shrill. I only hope Wright gets to play a bigger, more expansive riddler next time.

—MCT, Tribune Media Service Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

by Michael Phillips Based a tiny bit on Richard Matheson’s 1956 short story, and a later Twilight Zone episode starring Lee Marvin, Real Steel stars Hugh Jackman as Charlie, exfighter and deadbeat dad who hasn’t seen his offspring in years. The year is 2020. Human boxing is no longer; robot boxing rules.

Circumstances dump the sullen preteen Max (Dakota Goyo, who comports himself like a smart-mouth Industry Kid) into Charlie’s lap for a twomonth period. This comes at a career low for our antihero; Charlie’s reduced to touring the fairground circuit with his humanoid boxing robot, which is first seen in action getting pummeled into stray parts by a wild bull.

Director Shawn Levy isn’t going for action comedy foremost, as he did in the Night at the Museum films; he’s after a wider emotional range, and a broken-family story that amounts to something. Figuratively and literally, Jackman’s in there, slugging, from the start. First

as wary companions, then as loving blood relatives, Charlie and Max prepare their junkyard robot, named Atom, for battle against a Russianowned, Japanese-designed force of destruction in the World Robot Boxing League. We watch and wait for these stray parts to become whole. Evangeline Lilly, as the daughter of Charlie’s trainer, sports a set of biceps roughly comparable to Jackman’s, so you know things will work out for her, surrogate mom-wise.

I suspect a lot of what I found synthetic and sort of galling in Real Steel will work just fine with the target audience. The key image in the film is that of Charlie or Max or their competitors either voice- or joystickcontrolling their bots in the ring. After a while it’s like watching someone else hack around with an Xbox while you sit there with your popcorn. Even its fans might concede Real Steel goes on a bit (126 minutes).

They might also concede the racism of the climactic setup, with the sniveling foreign-born adversaries squaring off against stalwart American brawn, in the person of everybody’s favorite Australian.

March 21-April 19:

If it’s at all possible, Aries, don’t hang around boring people this week. Seek out the company of adventurers who keep you guessing and unruly talkers who incite your imagination and mystery-lovers who are always on the lookout for new learning experiences. For that matter, treat yourself to especially interesting food, perceptions and sensations. Take new and different routes to familiar hotspots. Even better, find fresh hotspots. Cultivating novelty is your mandate right now. Outgrowing your habits would be wise, fun, and cool. Changing your mind is a luxury you need and deserve.

TAURUS

April 20-May 20:

“My grandfather always said that living is like licking honey off a thorn,” wrote the Slovenian American author Louis Adamic. That’s true enough. Here’s the thing, though: If you manage to get a smooth thorn without any prickles (like on certain hawthorn trees), the only risk is when you’re licking the honey close to the sharp end. Otherwise, as your tongue makes its way up the sleek surface of the rest of the thorn, you’re fine — no cuts, no pain. According to my analysis, Taurus, you have just finished your close encounter with the sharp point of a smooth thorn. Now the going will be easier.

“Ghost” in their names. You’re in a phase of your life when it’s especially important to not be a slave of the trends, Libra — a time when it’s crucial to your well-being to come up with original language, unique descriptions and fresh approaches.

full WIS2010

You’ve got to cry one more tear before the pungent comedy will deliver its ultimate lesson and leave you in peace. You’ve got to make one further promise to yourself before you will be released from the twilight area where pain and pleasure became so tangled. You’ve got to navigate your way through one more small surrender before you will be cleared to hunt down your rebirth in earnest. But meanwhile, the catharses and epiphanies just keep on erupting. You’re growing more soulful and less subject to people’s delusions by the minute.

Your rather unconventional attempts at healing are working — maybe not as rapidly as you’d like, but still, they are working.

SAGITTARIUS Nov. 22-Dec. 21:

On the front of every British passport is an image that includes a chained unicorn standing up on its two hind legs. It’s a central feature of the coat of arms of the United Kingdom. I would love to see you do something as wacky as that in the coming week, Gemini — you know, bring elements of fantasy and myth and imagination into some official setting. It would, I believe, put you in sweet alignment with current cosmic rhythms. (P.S. If you decide to invoke the archetype of the unicorn, unchain it.)

“Most people who profess a deep love of the Bible have never actually read the book,” says religious writer Rami Shapiro. If they did, they’d know that Satan is not implicated as the tempter of Adam and Eve. There’s no mention of three wise men coming to see baby Jesus, nor of a whale swallowing Jonah. Homilies like “This too shall pass” and “God helps those who help themselves” never appear in the scriptures. And contrary to the Ayn Rand-style self-reliance that evangelicals think is a central theme of their holy book, the Bible’s predominant message is that goodness is measured by what one does for others. I bring this up as a teaching about how not to proceed in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. You really do need to know a lot about the texts and ideas and people and situations upon which you base your life. (tinyurl.com/BibleFog)

June 21-July 22:

I’ve come across two definitions of the slang term “cameling up.” One source says it means filling yourself with thirstquenching liquid before heading out to a hot place on a hot day. A second source says it means stuffing yourself with a giant meal before going out on a binge of drinking alcohol, because it allows you to get drunk more slowly. For your purposes, Cancerian, I’m proposing a third, more metaphorical nuance to “cameling up.” Before embarking on a big project to upgrade your self-expression — quite possibly heroic and courageous — I suggest you camel up by soaking in an abundance of love and support from people whose nurturing you savor.

LEO

July 23-Aug. 22:

I love Adele’s voice. The mega-famous British pop singer has a moving, virtuoso instrument — technically perfect, intriguingly soulful, capable of expressing a range of deep emotion, strong in both her high and low registers. And yet there’s not a single song she does that I find interesting.

The lyrics are cliched or immature, the melodies are mostly uninspired, and the arrangements are standard fare. Does what I’m describing remind you of anything in your own life, Leo? A situation you half-love and are half-bored by?

An experience that is so good in some ways and so blah in other ways? If so, what can you do about it? You may be able to improve things if you act soon.

VIRGO

Aug. 23-Sept. 22:

There’s a good chance that you will soon find something you lost a while back. It may even be the case that you will recover an asset you squandered or you’ll revive a dream that was left for dead. To what do you owe the pleasure of this blessing? Here’s what I think: The universe is rewarding you for the good work you’ve done lately on taking better care of what’s important to you. You’re going to be shown how much grace is available when you live your life in rapt alignment with your deepest, truest values.

Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Chris Richards wrote a story in the Washington Post in which he complained about the surplus of unimaginative band names.

“The artist’s job is not to succumb to despair, but to find an antidote to the emptiness of existence.” So says the Gertrude Stein character in Woody Allen’s film Midnight in Paris. As an aspiring master of crafty optimism myself, I don’t buy the notion that existence is inherently empty. I do, however, wish that more artists would be motivated by the desire to create cures for the collective malaise that has haunted every historical era, including ours. In alignment with your current astrological omens, I invite you to take up this noble task yourself in the coming weeks, whether or not you’re an artist. You now have much more than your usual power to inspire and animate others.

AQUARIUS Jan. 20-Feb. 18:

The world-famous whiskey known as Jack Daniel’s is produced in Moore County, Tennessee, which prohibits the sale of alcohol in stores and restaurants. So you can’t get a drink of the stuff in the place where it’s made. I suspect there’s a comparable situation going on in your life, Aquarius. Maybe something you’re good at isn’t appreciated by those around you. Maybe a message you’re broadcasting or a gift you’re offering gets more attention at a distance than it does up close. Is there anything you can do about that? The coming weeks would be a good time to try.

PISCES

Feb. 19-March 20:

Once you drive your car into Norway’s Laerdal Tunnel, you’re in for a long haul through the murk. The light at the end doesn’t start appearing until you’ve traveled almost 14 miles. Using this as a metaphor for your life in the here and now, I estimate that you’re at about the 12-mile mark. Keep the faith, Pisces. It’s a straight shot from here. Can you think of any cheerful tunes you could sing at the top of your lungs?
