Valmont in perspective

The series of articles on the Valmont site are quite impressive, some of the best journalism I have read in Colorado in years. However, they do not properly consider the relative risk of the site compared to many other risks clamoring for limited public funds: street safety, fire, flood and auto exhaust, not to mention low vaccination rates, police protection and a host of others. It is now frequently discussed in the social science journals that people, particularly in groups, are not good judges of relative risks.

Could it be that all the public agency evasion is an implicit attempt at turning a blind eye to a risk that is not as serious as others clamoring for limited public funds?

In which case, the evasion is providing a public service: Let’s not get too excited about a low threat. I am reminded of all the hubbub about electromagnetic radiation from power lines and GMOs. Let’s include discussion of the relative scale and probabilities of the risks from Valmont.

Good work. Congratulations to all who put it together.

On the wrong road

Thanks for running “The Truth About Kerouac’s On the Road” (cover

story, March 22). And I look forward to reading Gerald Nicosia’s One and Only: The Untold Story of On the Road, which at last presents the perspective of Lu Anne Henderson. Nicosia is an excellent critical scholar and Henderson may indeed be the “Rosebud” of the saga. However, in Lionel Rolfe’s account of Nicosia’s book, he states (about Henderson): “After Neal’s death, she went into her own terrible decline. She had already weathered Kerouac’s death, but Cassady had been her soulmate.” The trouble with that is, Cassady died on Feb. 4, 1968; Kerouac, on Oct. 21, 1969. Such a glaring mistake undermines the premise of the article’s title.

With you in Rockland,

Junior Burke, The Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics, Naropa University/ Boulder Editor’s note: We agree the wording of that sentence doesn’t make sense, and we’ve asked the author for clarification.

In poor taste

As a lifetime Democrat and social liberal, I often am proud of those who share my political beliefs. However, “Another Reason Southern GOP Women Need Contraception” (ICUMI, March 15) knocked the wind out of me.

Dealing with recent polls in Alabama and Mississippi concerning President Barack Obama’s faith, the story does not provide context. Fortunately, national

news organizations conducted substantive research and made it possible to interpret the polls accurately.

The headline is hateful and misogynistic, caricaturing an entire region and an entire political party. Imagine making the statement about any other group: “Another Reason Latino Women Need Contraception” or “Another Reason White Suburbanites Need Contraception.” It would be unthinkable.

The president cannot win re-election without the support of moderates and independents. Those who read Boulder Weekly expect a certain political bias, but headlines and stories such as this one see LETTERS Page 9

For the middle class and the poor — who can’t jet off to luxury resorts for a getaway or vacation — these spaces offer a form of real wealth, something that each of us literally “owns,” knitting us together as a community and nation.

Yet, too many spiritually shriveled, small-minded and short-sighted state officials are snuffing out this uniting social force, stupidly treating parks as nothing but a budget number or — worse — a piece of the “nanny state” to be axed in the name of ideological purity.

uncensored Campaigning for ‘pink slime’

by Pamela White

I

t was so Orwellian it was laughable — three governors touring a factory where connective tissue from cattle carcasses is transformed into a food product the meat industry wants to call “finely textured beef,” but which one USDA scientist dubbed “pink slime.”

Dressed in hairnets, caps and white coats, the governors were led through a Beef Products Inc. (BPI) plant in Nebraska that manufactures the substance. Media were allowed to accompany them and to film and photograph them walking about in their hairnets, but were not allowed to ask questions.

After the tour, the media were then invited to listen while the governors, now apparently experts on pink slime, stumped for the pink-slime industry and stuffed their faces with burgers.

The governors — Rick Perry from Texas, Terry Branstad from Iowa and Sam Brownback from Kansas — chastised the media for creating an issue where they insist there isn’t one and causing people to lose good jobs. BPI has reportedly shut three of its four plants due to lack of orders, as grocery stores, including Kroger, have reacted to consumer demand and stopped using pink slime as filler in their ground beef.

Branstad told everyone that America’s obesity problem will get worse if this very lean meat product is removed from ground beef.

“It’s beef, but it’s leaner beef, which is better for you,” he said with a completely straight face.

“Let’s call this product what it is and let ‘pink slime’ become a term of the past,” Texas Gov. Rick Perry said, very clearly driving his message at reporters.

OK, Rick, let’s do that. No more calling it “pink slime.” Let’s call it what it is: ammonia-treated bovine connective tissue.

Hungry now?

How odd it was to watch three alleged supporters of free-market capitalism using their taxpayer-funded time to champion an industry that a great number of consumers no longer wish to support. Perhaps they’ve forgotten, but consumer choice is the foundation of the free market. If consumers don’t want ammonia-treated bovine connective tissue in their ground beef, then those who earn their living making and 6 April 5, 2012

selling ammonia-treated bovine connective tissue might want to reskill and do something else.

That’s capitalism.

Unless, of course, you’re getting campaign contributions from BPI, as Branstad is, in which case it’s a crisis that requires a governor’s full attention.

The three burger-munching governors made it very clear that their main concern was jobs. But just because manufacturing a product provides jobs does not mean we need the product.

Take cigarettes, for example. If the whole country quit smoking overnight, that would mean a significant loss of jobs — and a huge gain in our health and well-being.

If the food-product industry were paying attention, it would notice a substantial and growing shift on the part of consumers toward eating real food.

What is real food? It’s fruits and vegetables that haven’t been doused in chemicals, meats and dairy products without hormones and antibiotics, and whole grains that aren’t processed. It’s foods that aren’t laced with cancercausing nitrates, dyes, artificial flavors, sodium, high-fructose corn syrup, added sugar and genetically modified ingredients.

More people are growing their own fruits and vegetables, while others are partnering with farms through CSAs (community support agriculture). Still others are shopping at natural food stores where they know what they’re getting. They want control over what they ingest, free from dangerous additives and awkward surprises — like discovering their burgers have long contained ammonia-treated bovine connective tissue.

Some food corporations are beginning to take this to heart. Kroger recently removed the high-fructose corn syrup from some of its store brand breakfast cereals and is proclaiming that fact in bright red on the boxes. Its CEOs know that health-conscious shoppers are reading labels and choosing not to buy products that contain high-fructose corn syrup, so they’re trying to remain competitive.

And that’s what the meat industry has to do, too. It must adapt. If people don’t want to grill patties of ammoniatreated bovine connective tissue, a threesome of governors is not going to convince them to do otherwise.

danish plan The folly of compulsory national service

by Paul Danish

T

he New York Times columnist David Brooks wants to bring back the draft. Or at least some form of compulsory universal national service. He thinks it will bring Americans back together again.

Brooks rolled out the idea with an off-hand comment at the end of a column in which he was discussing libertarian author Charles Murray’s book, Coming Apart. The book portrays America as a country increasingly polarized on social, economic, educational and moral lines into upper and lower classes.

Brooks thinks the polarization of the upper and lower classes has advanced to the point that it would be more accurate to refer to them as “tribes” than classes.

And he thinks compulsory national service for all young Americans is the way to close the divide.

“I doubt Murray would agree,” Brooks wrote, “but we need a National Service Program. We need a program that would force members of the upper tribe and the lower tribe to live together, if only for a few years. We need a program in which people from both tribes work together to spread out the values, practices and institutions that lead to achievement.

“If we could jam the tribes together, we’d have a better elite and a better mass,” he said.

He’s delusional, of course.

was during the Vietnam War. It did not bring Americans together. It tore the country apart. Millions of upper-class American males avoided military service by sitting out the war in college, and millions of lower-class American males, including a disproportionate number of blacks and Hispanics, ended up in the military.

When members of different classes ended up serving together, they didn’t always join hands and sing “Kumbaya” and “God Bless America.” This was the period when the word “fragging” entered the English language.

Moreover, a case can be made for the proposition that the draft helped fuel the class polarization that Murray is talking about. For one thing, the wide8 April 5, 2012

spread aversion to military service that took root among upper-class Americans during the Vietnam War, in large part due to the draft, did not end with the war. It exists to this day.

The draft did not create nearly as much resentment during World War II as it did during Vietnam for several reasons: 1) it was much more universal, 2) the fascist threat was seen as existential and, 3) unlike Vietnam, the goal was victory (as opposed to the Vietnam goal of containment), and every effort was made to win the war as quickly as possible.

The sort of draft that Brooks is contemplating would be no World War II-style mobilization. Draftees would be called to the colors in the absence of a

clear national threat or even a clear national mission, which is likely to inspire resentment, draft avoidance and desertion, not patriotism.

There are some practical problems with Brooks’ idea as well.

Assuming women as well as men are drafted, and assuming the length of service is two years, the same length as the Vietnam and Korean War drafts, some eight million young Americans would be doing their national service at any given time.

Which would give rise to some pesky expenses Brooks may have overlooked.

Danish’s flawed logic

(Re: “Climate change and the ingratitude of the eighth generation,” Danish Plan, March 8.) It’s tempting to think we clever apes will be able to survive and prosper on a drastically warmed planet. Paul Danish carries this to a surreal apotheosis, stating that should we succeed in slowing the runaway greenhouse effect even slightly, eventually DRAFT from Page 8

barracks — or, since this is the 21st century, after all — dormitories capable of housing eight million conscripts or pay them a housing allowance.

It would have to provide 24 million meals a day or pay them a food allowance.

It would have to pay them wages, probably based on what military conscripts would make today if the services started drafting again.

It would have to offer them veterans benefits, including G.I. bill with educational benefits.

And so on.

But the real question is just what on earth would the government do with eight million conscripts with minimal work skills?

It can’t put them in the military.

There are only 1.5 million slots in all the services combined, and they are all filled with volunteers. Besides, we’re downsizing the military.

There are only so many trees to be planted, trails to be cut, and picnic tables to be built in the national parks.

There are only so many bed pans to be carried in the nation’s hospitals.

The country does not need several million additional teachers who lack life experience and have only the foggiest idea about how to teach.

We aren’t into mega-projects like the Hoover and Grand Coolie Dams these days. Besides, organized labor would raise hell if the government tried to build them with conscript labor.

And so on.

But come to think of it, there is one way the federal government could use 8 million conscripts: It could deploy them as border guards and neighborhood watch grunts. At least that way the draftees would be providing a legitimate governmental function — public safety and national security — instead of doing make work. And it would almost certainly result in a big drop in illegal border crossings and street crime. What could possibly go wrong?

allowing the Earth’s atmosphere to start shedding CO2 and cooling down, our descendants (who will by that time be enjoying life in a climate previously experienced only by dinosaurs) will be enraged at our actions.

By this logic, there is no reason to mitigate any catastrophe, since the survivors will adapt to conditions on the ground. But such adaptability demands gradual civilizational changes rather than frantic emergency responses. Humanity will flourish in the coming centuries only if we substitute a sustainable economy for

our present consumption-based model; if we don’t start now, our descendants will be too busy struggling for survival to curse our memories.

Circumcision is “non-theraputic,” according to the British Medical Association.

This is euphemistic. It is destructive.

They are pandering to the voters, who have a fear that their “parental rights” to cut up their kids any way they please might be taken away ... or worse yet, they may have to pay for it. I didn’t hear these parents screaming when their right to circumcise their daughters was taken away by the feds in 1996, or when insurance stopped covering it in the U.S. Tom Tobin/via Internet

news Farmers, seed growers file appeal to Monsanto ruling

by Joel Dyer

O

n Feb. 24, Judge Naomi Buchwald dismissed a lawsuit filed by Coloradobased Organic Seed Growers and Trade Association (OSGATA) against Monsanto. But OSGATA is not giving up.

Before being dismissed, the lawsuit had been receiving worldwide attention and had become a rallying point for the Occupy movement.

The reason for the original lawsuit was to prevent Monsanto from being able to sue farmers whose organic crops had become contaminated by drift and other factors with the company’s patented genetically modified (GM) seeds. According to OSGATA, during the past 15 years, Monsanto has sued 144 American family farmers as

well as settling an additional 700 cases out of court while imposing gag orders on those farmers.

But the farmers and seed companies who filed the original suit against Monsanto aren’t done. On March 28, in the Federal District Court in

farmers’ request to reinstate their case.

According to OSGATA’s website, “The farmers are determined to move forward with their lawsuit challenging Monsanto’s patents on genetically engineered seed technologies in order to continue their pursuit of Declaratory Judgment Act court protection from Monsanto’s claims of patent infringement should their crops become contaminated

by Monsanto’s seed.”

“Farmers are under threat. Our right to farm the way we choose, and to grow pure organic seed and healthy food on our farms for our families and for our customers is under assault,” said Maine organic seed farmer Jim Gerritsen, president of OSGATA. “We are honor-bound to challenge an erroneous ruling which denies family farmers the protection the law says we deserve. We’re not asking for one penny from Monsanto. Ultimately, our fight is for justice and is waged to defend the right of the people to have access to good and safe food.’”

Bypassing voter approval for public debt backfires

by Joel Dyer

T

he recent announcement that the prison complex known as Colorado State Penitentiary II will be closing its doors in 2013 provides a good lesson in what happens when politicians and bureaucrats bypass the traditional funding restraints derived from the democratic process. It is an expensive lesson to be sure.

What should have happened, but didn’t, is that in 2003, when the state legislature decided it wanted to build yet another prison, the state should have been forced to put a $160 million bond issue on the ballot for voter approval. The politicians didn’t do this because by 2003 they knew that such a ballot issue would most likely have failed.

Beginning in the late 1980s, more and more municipalities and states began to have trouble getting voter approval for their bonds, particularly bonds aimed at prison construction. In one state after another, including Colorado, voters began to say “no” to the largest prison expansion in history. This prison boom started in the early 1970s and accelerated through the next two decades, thanks primarily to politically expedient hard-onBoulder Weekly

crime legislation such as “truth in sentencing,” “three strikes” and the “war on drugs.”

Increasingly, taxpayers understood that building more and more prisons was siphoning off funds for things like higher education, child welfare programs and infrastructure. By the end of the Reagan administration, it was a tradeoff they had become unwilling to make, and they began voting down funding for the prison expansion.

This clear action to deny funds for the expansion should have brought it to an end and forced a more restrained approach to criminal justice, with a greater emphasis on cheaper alternatives to prison such as alcohol and drug rehab programs, closely supervised parole and electronic monitoring.

But a funny thing happened when investment bankers like Goldman Sachs and politicians came face to face with voter-enforced fiscal restraint — they ignored it by inventing, or at least repurposing, a variety of funny paper with names like “Lease Revenue Bonds” and “Certificates of Participation” (COPs). By using these financial instruments

in never-before-heard-of ways, those who profited either financially or politically by building more prisons were able to continue to create and sell investment-grade debt without voter approval. It was political sleight of hand at its best. By changing the name of the financial instruments from bonds to COPs, the debt no longer had to be shown as debt on the books, so voter approval was no longer required.

It works like this. A $100 million bond to be repaid with interest over 25 years is a debt. Investors buy the bond, then the state or municipality uses the money to build the prison. The state is obligated to pay back the money no matter what. To raise $100 million through the sale of COPs, the state promises to lease the prison from a nonprofit entity created to sell the COPs to the investors whose money is actually used to build the prison. So the state figures out how much it would cost if it were paying off a 5 percent interest bond over 25 years and divides the total payout by 25. It then agrees to pay that amount per year as a lease payment for 25 years to the holders of the COPs. At the end of 25 years, the COP holders agree to deed the prison to the state. Because the state has to reauthorize the lease payment each year, it is legally not considered debt, and thereby no voter approval is needed.

What started as a novel process to occasionally bypass voters when politicians thought they knew best has now see DEBT Page 12

Conference on World Affairs beckons with political bent

by Jefferson Dodge

I

t’s an election year, and that usually makes for an especially interesting Conference on World Affairs, Boulder’s favorite weeklong think jam.

There is a palpable political theme running through the set list for the 64th annual CWA, which will be held primarily on the University of Colorado campus April 9-13.

Alice Rivlin, whose various highranking economic and public policy positions include founding director of the congressional budget office, will

deliver Monday’s keynote, “Can the Center Hold: Democracy and Governance in a Polarized America.”

On Wednesday, Republican political strategist Mark McKinnon, cofounder of No Labels, will speak on “The Architecture of a Successful Message.” And on Monday, New York Times columnist Drew Westen, author of The Political Brain: The Role of Emotion in Deciding the Fate of the Nation, will deliver the Howard see CONFERENCE Page 13

become a multi-billion dollar industry that empowers the investment class to suck up profits at the taxpayers’ expense on one illadvised building project after another.

Consider Colorado State Penitentiary II. In 2003, legislators passed HB 1256, allowing them to bypass voters and sell $162 million worth of COPs to construct the 948-bed prison in Cañon City. The prison finally opened in 2011 with about one-third of the beds being used.

However, between 2003 and 2011, the state of Colorado hired an outside consultant to help it re-evaluate some of its practices. As a result of changes in policy around the use of administrative segregation, the prisoner population in Colorado has now been falling each year since 2009 and is expected to continue to do so well into the future. This is the type of costeffective, innovative thinking that often comes about when voters say no to continued prison and jail expansion.

Unfortunately, it came too late for taxpayers this time.

Even though the newly constructed

Colorado State Penitentiary II will be closing and left empty a mere 18 months or so after its grand opening, taxpayers will still be spending $18 million a year in lease payments to the investors holding the COPs until the year 2021.

While the state legislature could legally refuse to authorize any further lease payments — after all, that’s why COPs aren’t considered debt — it won’t happen. Refusing to reauthorize the annual lease payment would leave the COP investors holding the bag, and the state wouldn’t be able to float future COPs to bypass voters for the next building project. While such a default would be a good outcome for taxpayers — if it limited the state’s ability to sell future COPs — it would be an unacceptable imposition for the politicians, investment bankers and investors who currently enjoy and profit handsomely from this new system where public debt and high-interest payments have been magically transformed into a simple lease.

CONFERENCE from Page 12

Higman Memorial Plenary, “How Politics Lost the American People.”

“There’s a really nice spectrum of people,” says CWA Director Jim Palmer.

But, as usual, it won’t just be about politics. Appropriately, the theme of this year’s conference is “Everything conceivable.” That really narrows it down.

Palmer tells Boulder Weekly the diversity of the conference is reflected in the opening morning lineup, which includes panels on Latin music, soldiers peeing on corpses, environmental issues, the rise of India and China, death and Mitt Romney.

“We really are trying to highlight the hot-button issues,” Palmer says, citing a timely panel called “The 2012 Supreme Court and the Hot-button Docket.” (See full schedule, page 31.)

And, as usual, the panel topics are almost as fun as the conversations themselves. This year’s cleverly coined turns of phrase include “No Future for Millennials: Even Your Parents Think You’re Screwed,” “Reproductive Rights: Sluts Vote,” “Are Corporations People: Would Texas Execute One?” and “Read My Lipstick: Women in Elective Office.”

Palmer, who is in his 14th year as director, has upheld his commitment to make sure that at least 40 percent of the 100-or-so participants are new to the CWA each year. In addition to Rivlin, McKinnon and Westen, notable newcomers include Carrie HesslerRadelet, deputy director of the Peace Corps; Andie Grace, communications manager for Burning Man; and Diana Ryall, former managing director of Apple Australia.

Boulder Weekly

Wednesday’s highlights include Bill Reinert, national manager of advanced technology for Toyota Motor Sales, discussing “Peak Oil” at a Wednesday plenary, and Chicago Sun-Times tech columnist Andy Ihnatko speaking on “Steve Jobs and Apple.” Other prominent participants include Larry Schweiger, president and CEO of the National Wildlife Federation, and Comeback America Initiative founder and former U.S. Comptroller General David Walker, who will speak alongside Rivlin at Tuesday’s Molly Ivins Freedom-Fightin’ Memorial Plenary, “America 2030: Why We Must Act Now.” The popular film dissection now known as Ebert Interruptus in honor of Roger Ebert, who led it for years before hand-picking film critic Jim Emerson as his successor, will feature Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Sometimes, the conference even pushes its own broad limits. One panel is titled, “My Best Sexual Experience Ever and How to Do It.” “The conference has a reputation for both candid and intimate conversations, even in front of 400 people,” Palmer says. “Roger Ebert talked about his cancer and his alcoholism. I can’t explain it, but there’s something about the conference that makes people be more open and intimate than they would otherwise. And it’s all to our advantage. I’ve sometimes been startled by what people are willing to say and share. There’s a lot of trust among the participants and between the audience and the participants.”

news An insider’s look at the CWA

by Hadley Vandiver

I

made the decision to come to the University of Colorado at Boulder in 2008. When I told my grandfather, who has two degrees from CU, he was thrilled.

My grandpa is a teddy bear of a man, and I’d bet he gives the best hugs this side of the Mississippi.

When he found out that I would attend his alma matter, he pulled me in to one of those big hugs, then put on a stern manner and a furrowed brow and said, “Now Hadley, there’s one thing you have to remember at CU. No matter what you do, you have to volunteer for the Conference on World Affairs.”

When my grandfather attended CU, from the fall of 1959 to the summer of ’64, the CWA was just a hint of what it is today. Still, it left an impression on him that would last into a new millennium.

High School, including “Modern Media and the Teenage Mind.” In addition, local radio station KGNU (88.5 FM) will broadcast CWA events every day at 8:30 a.m.

Palmer adds that storytelling has become a key element of the conference, and this year storytellers from Ireland and Israel are on tap. In a similar vein, a Thursday panel is titled “Shakespeare Read vs. Shakespeare Said.” And the musical element is alive and well at the CWA. In addition to the popular Tuesday night jazz concert, on Friday, Grammy-winning brothers Dave and Don Grusin will take to the Macky stage.

“They’ll play a little, they’ll talk a little, and they’ll spar a little,” Palmer says with a laugh. “You’ve gotta have a little sibling rivalry.”

In the Friday plenary “Secretariat (Reprise),” longtime Sports Illustrated writer William Nack, author of Secretariat: The Making of a Champion, will be introduced by Penny Chenery, the real-life breeder and racer of the famous Triple Crown winner. Chenery,

who now lives in Boulder, was played in the film version by Diane Lane.

During the plenary, Nack will show the three races.

Planning for the CWA begins in earnest every August, when eight subject committees begin mulling possible panels and participants. The participants who are invited are asked to submit a list of topics they are interested and well-versed in.

“Some send eight, some send 56,” Palmer says.

CWA planners then lock themselves up for a long weekend with sub sandwiches and pizza to organize the whole thing, although final panel names aren’t finalized until later, at an afternoon titling session.

“We have to be careful who we invite, because most people we invite come,” Palmer says of the participants.

“We need to have the right dynamic, the right mix.”

As for this year’s CWA, he says “the talent, topics and timing are aligned for an excellent conference.”

news INSIDER from Page 14

This year, the conference celebrates its 64th year of bringing in participants from all over the world to speak on any topic imaginable. And as with most events that pack in the masses, behind the conference is a staggering amount of work done mostly by volunteers. I am one of those volunteers.

A year’s worth of work goes into the planning and execution of the CWA, starting as soon as the first panel ends. Each panel is ranked by the people running it, which helps the committee analyze what worked and what didn’t for the next year.

The CWA has seven subcommittees, each representing various areas of expertise: Arts, Business, Human Condition, International Affairs, Politics and Media, Science and Technology, and Students. Each subcommittee has student editors and editors from the community. These editors run weekly meetings, at which other student and community volunteers decide who will be invited to the CWA. The decision process takes almost the entire first semester, and is handled with extreme care. Before a participant is invited, he or she must be approved by the group of editors. The editors discuss each potential participant, ruminating on types of panels they could speak on and what they would contribute at the conference. Once the participants pass the gauntlet of editor voting, they are formally invited.

The next step in the process is the fun part. The committees get together and discuss what topics will be interesting, thrilling, thought-provoking, inappropriate, funny and relevant come April. As a freshman, it was these meetings that inspired me to volunteer for the conference for the next four years of my life.

These brainstorming sessions overflow with topics and titles. The topics are born from ideas that conference participants suggest themselves, and then are molded into panels by the committees.

In mid-February, the committee meets for “Planning Weekend,” where from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. every panel that has been concocted is presented, complete with a tentative title and at least four participants. The participants are checked and double-checked to ensure that they will be able to speak well on the topic, and that they are all on at least one panel per day. The process of placing panels correctly takes hours, but by the end of Planning Weekend, a skeleton schedule for the entire week of the conference is complete.

Though these are the main meetings involved in putting together the CWA, many others occur to ensure that the whole week runs smoothly. One whole meeting is devoted to tweaking titles, while others are held to coordinate housing for the participants, plan out the schedules of the student volunteers, organize producers and moderators for each panel, design marketing, choose the conference theme, and much more.

Without the work of the volunteers and the staff who have made the conference their life’s work, none of it would be possible.

P.S. If you want the advice of a true CWA veteran, these are my Grandpa’s picks of panels to attend for the week: Monday: “Can the Center Hold: Democracy and Governance in a Polarized America” Tuesday: “Is Anybody Normal?”

Wednesday: “A Spiritual Soup: Defining Faith” Thursday: “Prisons: The Caging of America” Friday: “Shifting Sands in the Middle East: New Players, Policies and Directions” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

rlene Blum, Ph.D., has crossed mountains and conquered mountainous obstacles.

Her unique blend of career paths has her coming to Colorado on a multi-tasking mission: She’ll be speaking at Conference on World Affairs panels on extreme living and environmental health, approach the EPA to talk about toxic flame retardants, and cap the week off with an induction into the Mountaineering Hall of Fame. Blum wrote about her career in an essay published in Thinking Reed, an alumni publication for Reed College in Portland, Oregon. She agreed to have this excerpt from that essay reprinted here.

My memoir of mountains and molecules called Breaking Trail: A Climbing Life describes how my life changed after Bruce Carson, a brilliant young climber and environmentalist, tragically fell to his death through a summit cornice on our expedition to Mount Trisul in India in 1975. Devastated by the loss, I decided to continue Bruce’s work of helping protect the world’s environment. And so I found my current adventure: bringing science out of the laboratory and into the policy arena in an effort to reduce toxics and protect our health and environment.

My work began when Bruce Ames, a biochemistry professor at the University of California at Berkeley, suggested I study the flame-retardant chemical tris (2,3,-dibromopropyl) phosphate, commonly known as Tris, which was used in children’s pajamas in the 1970s. Ames suspected Tris caused cancer and was worried that most of the children in America were exposed to it every night. To prevent children’s burn injuries, manufacturers added organohalogen flame retardants to pajamas. No one apparently considered that the flame retardant would move from

by Arlene Blum the sleepwear to inside the children or that most chemicals in this family were known to be toxic, long-lived and likely to bioaccumulate.

Tris, the most widely used flame retardant, was layered onto pajamas in amounts of about 10 percent of the weight of the fabric. When I added a small amount of Tris to petri plates of growing bacteria, it caused a very high level of mutations or changes in the bacterial DNA. Tris was a potent mutagen and likely to contribute to cancer.

And almost all the children in America, including newborn infants, wore Tristreated pajamas — a tragic example of the good intention of preventing burn injuries gone very wrong.

At about this time I was invited to

join the 1976 American Bicentennial Everest Expedition, the first time an American woman had the opportunity to climb the world’s highest mountain.

Although I was writing an article warning of the dangers of Tris, I couldn’t turn down this invitation. I continued working on the article while climbing amidst the ice falls on Everest. At 21,000 feet, I received the final galley proof from Bruce Ames, edited it, and sent it by mail runner back to Katmandu.

Although scientific articles traditionally call for further study rather than action, Bruce and I subtitled our piece, “The main flame retardant in children’s pajamas is a mutagen and should not be used.” It was published as

a lead article in Science three months after our team reached the summit of Everest. Three months later Tris was banned in children’s sleepwear — an example of how good science can influence policy to protect human health.

When Ronald Regan took office in 1980, he cancelled funding for environmental work and moved brilliant EPA scientists to desk jobs. I had always dreamed of walking across the Himalayas, and his term seemed the right time to take a break from my science policy work. This break lasted 26 years, much longer than I could ever have expected.

During those years, I led the first ascent of 21,000-foot-high Bhrigupanth in the Indian Himalaya and hiked 3,000 miles along the Great Himalaya Range of Bhutan, Nepal, and India. My favorite adventure began with the birth of my daughter Annalise Gomersall Blum in 1987. Motherhood and memoir writing eclipsed mountains and molecules while Annalise was young. I wanted to fully enjoy raising my daughter and also to understand how my own childhood and my years at Reed in the 1960s nurtured my climbing and science careers. Annalise attended third grade at the Cloud Forest School in Monteverde, Costa Rica, and eigth grade at Lincoln School in Kathmandu while I worked on writing my memoir. Each year we enjoyed mountain trips: in the Cascades and Sierra when she was young and the Himalaya, Andes, Alps as she grew older.

In September 2006, with my memoir, Breaking Trail: A Climbing Life, finished, Annalise starting college, and my mother having recently passed away, I See BLUM Page 18

As should have been expected, when an auction is attended by oil executives and farmers all trying to buy up the same thing, the farmers came out on the short end. Nearly all of this year’s available water was snatched up by the oil and gas companies to be used for their fracking operations.

This situation has a couple of negative implications considering our current drought conditions. First, farmers who don’t have enough water to grow their crops could lose their farms as a result, and that takes its toll on not only the family farmers but also our culture and heritage. Secondly,

Energy companies outbid farmers for water

It takes millions of gallons of water to hydraulically fracture a well. Not good news considering that this looks to be a very dry year going forward from one of the driest Marches in Colorado history. That being the current situation, it is clear that something had to give when it came to water, and that something is our area farmers.

Each spring the state holds an auction

when farmers irrigate their crops, the water is, for the most part, returned into the ecosystem where it will eventually be used again.

That’s not the case with water used for drilling and fracking.

Such water used by energy companies becomes contaminated with a whole host of toxic chemicals and therefore has to be permanently removed from the ecosystem or run the risk of creating groundwater and surface contamination.

The consequences of this somewhat unfair competition between farmers and oil companies for Colorado’s truly most precious commodity, water, would be tough to swallow in a normal year, but in a dry year like this, it may be disastrous for all of us.

wanted to return to science policy work and find a way to use my knowledge of chemistry to reduce toxics and protect public health. Although I had no idea how to return to a career I had left 26 years earlier, I attended a green chemistry meeting in Oakland and found my next mountain. Since I believe working with industry can lead to the most rapid change, I introduced myself to Bob Leudeka, the director of the Polyurethane Foam Association who wore a suit and stood out from the casually clad activists and scientists.

When I told him I had studied flame retardants decades ago, he looked very interested. “Flame retardants are a big problem for us,” he said.

the chemical penta (pentabrominated diphenyl ether), which we have used for years, was banned a couple of years ago.

I don’t know much about the replacements. Our chemical suppliers tell us everything is fine, but they told us Penta was fine too. Maybe you can give us some advice.”

“What chemicals do you use?” I asked. His response astonished me. The foam manufacturers were using Tris, the same flame retardant my research had helped remove from children’s sleepwear 30 years earlier.

Bob invited me to be the keynote speaker at the annual polyurethane foam meeting in the fall to tell the chemical industry about the toxicity of Tris.

“Why don’t you tell them yourself that Tris is a mutagen and carcinogen?”

I asked. “You don’t need me.”

“I can’t tell them,” he replied.

“They’d kill me!”

“And you want me to tell them?”

My stomach turned a somersault, but my climbing courage returned, and I agreed to give the talk. The audience at the meeting would include the companies who manufactured Tris and similar chemicals. As I unearthed my old lecture notes and learned that little had changed since 1980, I became more worried, about both the world’s continued exposure to Tris and the reception for my talk. Friends told me they would wait outside to help me escape in case the audience turned into an angry mob.

At the meeting I listened with incredulity as the chemical producers claimed Tris and its chemical cousin

flame retardants were perfectly safe.

Feeling very nervous, I began my talk with a slide of Rip Van Winkle and admitted I had been away from chemistry for decades. During those years the toxic qualities of Tris had not gone away. We knew Tris migrated out of clothing into children’s bodies, and that you could find toxic Tris breakdown products in their urine after they wore treated pajamas. A long round of applause from the foam industry and a cold silence from the chemical industry followed my presentation. My “Rip Van Winkle” lecture marked the beginning of my most challenging and important challenge, bringing good science into policy to stop the use of toxic chemicals and protect the health of the world.

Chasing the White Horse

Boulder ultrarunner Micah True remembered

by Elizabeth Miller

M

icah True was a man to be run after.

When Christopher McDougall chased him down to write Born to Run, he followed an elusive trail of clues through desert canyons. Time and again he heard that True, the man called Caballo Blanco, the White Horse, had just been there. Last weekend, True’s friends ran out into the canyons after him again. This time, Boulder-based ultrarunner True had gone out for a 12-mile run toward the Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument in New Mexico, and had not come back. After four days and hours of non-stop, high-altitude running, they found him. From appearances, he had paused on his run to sit down beside a stream and dip his feet in, and see TRUE Page 22

“There was a park ranger there who said he’s never seen a search that intense before,” McDougall says.

The morning after ultrarunner Scott Jurek, also of Boulder, heard that True had gone missing, he left for the Gila Wilderness. By the time he arrived, he says, there were 50 people searching, helicopters, horse search and rescue groups, infrared technology and border Micah True, known patrol search dogs assisting, and as Caballo Blanco, a plane relaying radio signals in Mexico among those parties.

says. “And yet here I meet him at this point, 15 years later, and he’s like this sleek, tan, leggy, loping animal cruising through the canyons. And he’s like, ‘Yeah, easy, anybody can do it. Just learn how to run, learn how to do it right.’”

McDougall went home, followed True’s advice, and returned nine months later 40 pounds lighter.

“I had gone from 0 miles to 50 miles in nine months,” he says. “I’ve come to think it’s just not that hard; the key, though, is you don’t want to practice or rehearse pain.

You go out, you run hard, it’s painful and you start to associate it more and more with an unpleasant experience. Caballo did the opposite. He practiced fun, so every time he had a run, if he was tired he stopped, he had a drink of water, he was constantly associating it with pleasure and it made it easier to go further and further.”

Born to Run, which talks about the inspiration True drew from the Tarahumara tribe and the race he started in their native Copper Canyons, was one of the launch points for the minimalist running movement, the trend of thinner, more flexible running shoes and barefoot runners.

“But the bigger thing that book did is it got people off the couch out running again, if they used to run, as well as if they never had before. And I think that is a testament to Micah’s personality and his spirit and kind of his legacy that he left,” says Jurek.

Part of that legacy lies with what he tried to give back to the people who taught him to run. True started the Copper Canyon Ultra Marathon, a 50-mile race with an estimated 9,300 feet of climbing and equal descent, to encourage the Tarahumarans to continue to value their tradition of running as a way of traveling, despite the roads

being built into their canyons as mining and logging operations expanded into the canyons. Racers from the United States and Europe run against Tarahumarans. The Tarahumarans keep the prizes, both cash and the awards of 500 pounds of corn and beans given to the top 10 finishers. True wouldn’t have liked the term “relief effort,” says Jurek, who ran the race in 2006, but the race was a way of supporting the native tribe.

“Don’t know about any of you, but, sometimes I take myself too darn seriously,” True wrote in his message from the race director for this year’s Copper Canyon Run. “Sometimes, since I have been sponsoring this run, I have felt like I am standing on the corner of Broadway and Canyon, out in cyberspace, holding a sign that reads ‘will run for frijoles.’ Kind of humbling; and humility, like frijoles, is a good thing.”

He didn’t want money, he clarified, just some “maiz” to carry the people over until the next harvest.

“The Copper Canyon run is now free, like running should be,” he wrote.

“The frijoles and Maiz are on us.”

“I don’t want to make him into a Barbie doll, he was a real guy with sharp elbows, he was an opinionated, sharp-minded guy,” McDougall says. “I think why people really warmed to him was he never asked for anything, ever.

He was all about just doing it. If you want to come, come, if you want to participate, participate.”

And come they did. Weeks before his death, True hosted the Copper Canyon Run with a record 500 runners who paid a donation to run courses through the canyons of various lengths, the ultra marathon course revised to reduce some of the danger and with expanded support systems. It was a blast, McDougall says.

because he was a very healthy man who died prematurely, but there was a sense of appropriateness,” he says. “He’d just put on the best version of his race that he’d ever done. … He had come back and was making his plans for the coming year, he went out for a six-hour trail run in the Gila Wilderness, which he loves, and then, from what I understand, he just sat down by a cool stream and passed away. So, believe me, I’m sure if you gave him a choice right now, he’d much rather be alive, but on the other hand you feel like this is the way he would have wanted to go.”

And if Caballo Blanco were going to choose a place, besides the Copper Canyon, Jurek says, the Gila Wilderness would have been it. The land has long been significant to ancient tribes and ancient runners, and it was a landscape he loved.

“I think the key thing is that he wasn’t somebody who was looking to be this inspirational figure or somebody that millions of people would look up to, and I think it’s a testament to all of us that you don’t have to be a largerthan-life character or anything like that, you just have to follow your passion and live in a way that benefits other people.

Caballo gave everything he had and lived very simply, and I think that’s a lesson for all of us,” Jurek says. “He was somebody who didn’t decide to put on a race that was going to be publicized to the degree that it became, but things like that just happen.”

Even after he became a well-known runner, True continued to work summers in Boulder running his one-man moving company.

“He’d come out of the canyons, back to Boulder, and fire up his old truck and take moving jobs and work like a beast for a couple months, bank his money, and then head back into the canyons,” McDougall says.

“He was very connected to the natural world and very simple. He wasn’t

bogged down with a lot of materialistic things,” says Brian Metzler, editor in chief of Competitor. “To him, running was just pure freedom and pure love, and he was all about that and that was kind of the message he spread to everybody near him.”

By the time he died, he had moved beyond running as a competition, and it had become an experience to be shared, and he gave out his love of the sport, his sense of the fun it could be, and what he knew about running and the natural world even while logging the miles.

“It was really like taking a history, biology, anthropology, sociology, psychology class all in one when you went for a run with him because he would point out the plants and the geological features of the trail, and he would talk about ancient running wisdom that native tribes such as the Apache followed and the Tarahumarans and the Rarámuri,” Jurek says. “He was all about being in tune with his surroundings and showing people that running wasn’t just about going out and pushing the body or exercise, it was something that we were meant to do.”

At 4 p.m. on Friday, April 6, those who want to commemorate True are invited to do so, and as he would have preferred: with a one-hour run starting at the Chautauqua lawn. Metzler, longtime running journalist Mike Sandrock and local trail runner Buzz Burrell are organizing the event.

“I think that’s what he would have liked,” Metzler says. “He was all about just having fun and running and just being out there, so that’s probably the best way we could possibly do it.”

At 6 p.m., there will be a gathering to share a few words about Caballo.

McDougall says he thinks someone will come forward to manage the Copper Canyon Run in future years.

That person simply hasn’t emerged from the canyons yet.

IFS DEVOTES WEEK TO FILMS INSPIRED

BY THE BARD

W

hether it has robots, high school politics or rival gangs dance fighting — film adaptations of William Shakespeare’s beloved plays vary across all genres. And this week, the International Film Series is bringing you a taste of the variety with a week of Shakespeare on film.

The IFS and the Colorado Shakespeare Festival are co-sponsoring a week of films that kicked off April 4 with West Side Story and continues this week with 10 Things I Hate About You, Richard III, Macbeth, and Forbidden Planet.

The idea for the collaboration started with the Colorado Shakespeare Festival Guild, a private organization that supports the festival. Joe Bicknell, the incoming president of the guild, was a major force in creating the film week. When he joined more than a year ago, he noticed a film-sized hole in the Shakespeare see SHAKESPEARE Page 28

operation. Not surprising, considering that when getting his master’s in Shakespeare studies, Bicknell wrote a paper about the 48 movie versions of Hamlet.

“Film seemed like a natural step for the festival,” Bicknell says. “Shakespeare permeates our culture, and film is no different.”

Along with movies, the festival is organizing presenters and talkbacks after the screenings with professors and festival members, to provide insight about the films. The presentations will also feature a preview of the upcoming Shakespeare festival season, which runs June 9 through Aug. 12 with productions that include Twelfth Night and Richard III. “Our job is to show how there’s lots of different ways to take a source play and turn it into a film because film is a different medium than a stage play,” says Philip Sneed, producing artistic director for the festival. “Our job is to educate, and we’re not advocating a purist Shakespeare position, we want to talk about some of those decisions filmmakers make in an adaptation.”

When selecting the lineup of movies for the week, IFS Director Pablo Kjolseth says he was trying to tap into different demographics and attract a wide audience. But he says he also wanted to maintain the independent spirit of the IFS. “I like to do things that open up the IFS program to more people,” Kjolseth says. “Forbidden Planet appeals to families, Richard III to fans of independent movies, Macbeth is for the international fans, 10 Things for students, and West Side Story is for everyone.”

The films are also accessible to audiences that aren’t familiar with the playwright’s stylistic lingo.

“You don’t have to know any of the iambic pentameter — you can have a

great film that’s enjoyable,” Bicknell says.

This week will be a test for future co-productions with the festival, Kjolseth says. If the Shakespeare week is successful, it could become a regular IFS feature, which, due to the abundance of films inspired by the Bard, would make programming easy. Before narrowing the selection down to five movies, other films considered for this year included She’s the Man, Taming of the Shrew, Scotland, PA, Romeo Must Die and silent-film adaptations.

Part of the selection process was choosing films with 35-mm prints available, Kjolseth says. He managed to find prints of all the movies except Forbidden Planet, which will be projected digitally.

Hundreds of years after his death, people are still turning to Shakespeare for entertainment. Sneed says these movies show the versatility of the playwright. The films help spread his material to a wider audience.

“A play like Romeo and Juliet has over 100 adaptations. That attests to the power of the source materials,” Sneed says. “Audiences of all ages and backgrounds find power in Shakespeare.

Some people can access Shakespeare directly, and some need a vehicle like a movie like West Side Story.”

For Bicknell, exploring different settings and different time periods can add volumes to appreciating Shakespeare’s material. The modernday adaptations, he says, serve to show parallels between the worlds of Shakespeare and today — similarities that are surprisingly familiar.

“West Side Story is a timeless story of boy meets girl,” he says. “10 Things I Hate About You is great fun teen movie that shows boys and girls going at it just like Petruchio and Kate did so many years ago.”

controversial “Britney Spears dubstep” track should have sounded like.

Therefore, it’s no surprise that BBC radio has given it mainstream rotation and Rolling Stone supported the video on its site.

Coming from a producer who is known to be among the “filthiest,” it’s mounting evidence that pop is becoming inseparable from dubstep.

“Dubstep doesn’t exist anymore,” Borger says bluntly. “The only people that are staying with their heads above the water are people who don’t think it’s only dubstep at this point. The only people that are still killing it are people that will do a dubstep track and a house track and a moombah track and a drum and bass track. Right now, as far as the EDM scene, if you want to be a sick DJ, you need to be versatile.”

The real question is not “who” ruined dubstep, but what. The answer: pop music. It “ruins” everything, right?

Pop is increasingly swallowing EDM. It has already become the core of dubstep’s genius commercial appeal, where female-friendly “builds,” driven by vocals and clean-cut synths, counterbalance the aggressive bass “drops” that give dubstep its phallocentric image.

“Kiss My Lips” is this formula in action.

t was a big deal when the original Flecktones quartet reunited back in 2010, but kind of a small deal as well, since banjoist Bela Fleck had recorded and toured with Victor Wooten and Futureman (aka Roy Wooten, Victor’s older brother and drummer in his band) off and on between their various solo projects in the 18 years since harpist/ pianist Howard Levy took an extended break from the band.

So for fans of the original Bela Fleck and the Flecktones franchise, the band’s Grammy win in February for Best Instrumental Composition for “Life in Eleven” came as a welcome gift, a kind of promise re-fulfilled.

The cut itself, a sprawling, multi-sectioned, chops-

Amidst all of the EDM bastardization, attitude is the only thing clearly separating DJs — and Borger crafted his from the start.

“I always said, and always believed in it 100 percent, that you must have a character,” he says.

Most of his fans, anyway, understand that the rude, confrontational, absurd quality of “gorestep” is not true to life. The Borgore persona is a joke, and Borger is strongly defensive about how he carries himself in person.

The strippers on stage? Not a joke.

“Lasers are cool … but I’m going back to basics. Lasers, oh lasers!

Whatever,” Borger says “Strippers … now we’re talking.”

Skrillex could not pull off having strippers on stage, Grammy win or not.

He would never hear the end of it. But Borgore makes it work — similar music, different attitude.

Dubstep purists might puke at the idea, but some people, like Asaf Borger, just like strip clubs better than dubstep clubs.

“I’m working on the next-level Borgore show,” he says. “It’s gonna be whatever you’re about to see on a different scale. It’s gonna be pretty much [like] going to a show in Las Vegas.”

Fleck talked about it a little in a recent interview with us. The piece sounded to us like a composition that stitched together some improv bits wrapped around a central piano-based figure of Howard’s, but Fleck said that analysis was … well, kinda close, but not really.

“There is very little improv until the ‘gospel section’ that occurs about halfway through,” he explains. “It is largely a set piece that explores the various ways to see BELA FLECK Page 35

Roger Ebert’s CWA legacy lives on

by David Accomazzo

T

he Conference on World Affairs has built its share of legacies during its 64 years in existence, but one of the most popular belongs to film critic Roger Ebert.

Starting in 1975, Ebert began a rather novel idea for a film series, which he called “Cinema Interruptus.” Screen the film on day one, and on days two through five, screen the film again, but allow any audience member to stop the film (by yelling “Stop!”) and begin a discussion. It’s film analysis through democracy, a chance for cinephiles and casual observers to rub shoulders with critics and academics and learn from one another’s fascination with the film being presented for dissection.

The film Ebert chose for the first event was, fittingly, Citizen Kane. By the time health problems forced the film critic

How the Jews and Gays Built Hollywood 12:30 p.m. - 1:50 p.m., Old Main Chapel

to retire from hosting the event in 2009, the interruptus had become so ingrained in the tradition of the CWA that people could scarcely imagine the conference without it. So Ebert selected his friend and fellow film critic, Jim Emerson, to take his place.

This year’s film for what is now called the “Ebert Cinema Interruptus” is Tomas Alfredson’s 2011 spy film Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. “A number of my critic friends and I thought Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy was the best English-language movie of last year — even those of us who were unfamiliar with the book and couldn’t quite follow all the strands of the labyrinthine espionage plot the first time through,” Emerson said in a press release. “Every scene, every shot, contains intriguing details — and those are the kinds of things we always look forward to discov-

ering and discussing at the Ebert Interruptus!”

Don’t let the “spy movie” thing throw you off. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is to Mission Impossible what Alfredson’s vampire tale Let The Right One In is to Twilight. Tinker Tailor, based on the novels by former MI6 agent John Le Carre, is a spy film that favors realism and sub-

tle storytelling over car chases and blunt exposition. Its plot sucks you in even though you might not fully understand it, and if you blink during the final half you might miss a pivotal scene. As Ebert put it, “I will keenly miss attending this week’s sessions, because I would dearly love to understand this movie.”

1. Coughing up something nasty 2. Penny wise Local disability service providers work to give people like Edward Celias the help they need. However, they are often limited by a lack of funding and a tangled bureaucratic system, which some critics say wastes more money than it saves. When these organizations must cut programs due to budget cuts or inefficient use of funds, it is their disabled clients who suffer most.

ncased in a coffin, waiting to be brought back to life: That’s how Snow White spends a good portion of the folk story that bears her name. There’s no such downtime for the princess in the snappy retelling Mirror Mirror, a fractured fairy tale that occupies the divide between Disney and Grimm.

A booster shot of testosterone lends kinetic kick to director Tarsem Singh’s visually inventive interpretation, without shortchanging the requisite froufrou or sugarcoating the story’s dark Oedipal heart. The mashup can be choppy, but the fable zings along on the sharp comic timing of the cast, led by a royally wicked Julia Roberts.

The screenplay by Marc Klein and Jason Keller (a screen story credit goes to Melisa Wallack) pointedly rewrites the fairy tale convention that finds every damsel helplessly imperiled until a prince delivers her from danger. This Snow White (played by Lily Collins) can get gussied up with the best of them, but she also holds her own in a fencing duel. And — hello, switcheroo — she rescues a prince in distress.

When in exile, Snow (it’s a firstname-informal kingdom) receives martial-arts instruction from the dwarfs.

Like the famous septet from Disney’s 1937 classic, this woods-dwelling crew provides sidekick slapstick, and each has a character-defining shtick — most memorably the love-struck Half Pint (Mark Povinelli). But they’ve also been restored to their folk tale roots as bandits and outcasts. They’re action anti-heroes with hearts of gold.

Transforming Snow White into an action hero in her own right doesn’t lessen the archetypal power of the stepmother/daughter, age/beauty conflict.

Collins (The Blind Side) is a convincing foil for Roberts’ jealous queen, personifying intelligence, innate goodness and fairest-of-them-all femininity. If a movie-star self-regard has crept into Roberts’ work over the years, here she uses it to winning effect, savoring the tension and silliness, and making an exceptionally entertaining evil monarch.

Advised and chided by the alter ego

who resides on the other side of her magic mirror — one of the film’s more striking elements — the queen sets her sights on an imperial merger with Prince Alcott (Armie Hammer), whose province’s resources would save her from the brink of bankruptcy.

Hammer, who brought an air of wounded regality to the Winklevoss twins in The Social Network and Clyde Tolson in J. Edgar, gets to shake off the aggrievement and let his princely flag fly, often without a shirt.

Singh (aka Tarsem Singh Dhandwar, or simply Tarsem) is a fantasist whose singular knack for spectacle can also be his weakness, given the set-piece razzledazzle not infrequently overwhelming the characters in his previous films: The Cell, The Fall and Immortals. That weakness reveals itself in Mirror Mirror when he stops the story cold to indulge in a puppet sequence.

But mostly, the built-in structure of a well-known tale helps to rein him in, as does the propulsive rhythm of one-liners — some of the best are delivered with panache by Nathan Lane and Robert Emms as mouthy servants. Most of the time, the film strikes the right balance of make-believe enchantment and snarkinfused lampoon, playing to older kids and adults alike.

Crucial to the movie’s magic are Tom Foden’s lush and witty production design, and the splendid costumes by Eiko Ishioka, the renowned designer’s final screen work before her death in January. The finery and regalia of their contributions are integral to Singh’s vision, giving this mostly conventional princess story its fair share of romantic froth and more than a little moxie.

Passionate local homebrewers making the leap to public offerings

out.

Starting in about a week, when BRU Beer will open its first taps, three new breweries will emerge in Boulder County’s already busy beer scene.

BRU, Twelve Degree and Gravity Brewing represent different styles, from Belgian to big beers to anything and everything. But they share common roots: All three are headed by longtime homebrewers who’ve decided to make the leap from hobby to business.

In fact, for Ian Clark, selling his beer is almost a necessity at this point.

He’s just out of room.

“My basement is full of hundreds and hundreds of bottles of beer,” he says. “On shelves and on the floor — many, many different batches.”

Clark, the head chef at Centro Latin Kitchen and the man behind

BRU, says he ultimately decided he needed to start selling to match his production.

For Jon Howland, the founder of Twelve Degree Brewing, a trip to Belgium kicked off a homebrewing interest and a lifelong passion about 15 years ago. He says no location is set in stone, but Twelve Degree is aiming for a summer opening.

It’s also been 15 years of homemade beer for John Frazee, president of Louisville’s Gravity Brewing. Frazee says Gravity will open in Louisville this summer.

These are some dudes who love their beer, right? Clark says, well, not really.

“I don’t actually drink very much,” he says. Strange. Really strange. If you don’t drink a lot, why brew at home?

Because, Clark says, the process is

the best part.

“It’s a very therapeutic process for me,” he says. “It’s something that, the first time I made the very first batch, and I was like, ‘Oh my God, this is cool.’”

The brewers aren’t in it for the money. They even plan to keep their day jobs. The three say they make beer because they love it — the product and the process.

“It’s just sort of magical,” Howland says. “I just love the idea of creating something original and unique and something that people can enjoy.”

Clark says he enjoys experimentation. “The ability to play around, see what you can come up with, see what your passion pushes you toward — it’s been fun,” he says.

“Brewing is an art,” Frazee says, “but we enjoy the scientific side of it.”

Howland agrees.

“It’s very creative, but it’s very technical, too,” he says. “It’s a beautiful combination of cooking and chemistry.”

The trio’s fortunate to be in

very once in a while, I like to wake up, look at myself in the mirror, and then cry.

First, having a giant vat of duck fat in my fridge probably isn’t helping my love handles. Unrelated to that, the morning is also when I realize that I’m never going to be the kind of adult I thought existed when I was a child (see: mature and confident). Basically, it’s a recipe for misery, and planning a fatty meal will only add to the sadness.

But I’ve found a way to combat the a.m. gloomies.

Plan a healthy meal for dinner the day you wake up in tears, and then you buy yourself about three days of dry eyes, pork bellies and beer.

“But Theo,” you say, “I’m not a god-damned rabbit, and I refuse to spend my evening chewing celery stalks and leaving little pellets around the house.”

That’s a bit hyperbolic.

Plus, I think if you eat celery, your poop is pretty much the same as normal.

Friend Carin’s similarly priced beet salad married the earthy characteristics of area vegetables with exquisitely creamy soft cheese.

Both Carin’s open-faced tuna salad and the chicken curry sandwich ordered by my third companion, Shirly, were well-executed and held no surprises.

While I’d be surprised to find out these dishes were made to order, each possessed a recently prepared freshness with balanced but not too assertive seasoning.

Shirly lauded the tomato soup as something she would “take a bath in.”

While I don’t know if I would incorporate this preparation into my ablutions, I can certainly attest to its fine balance of sweet and acid, making for a lively flavor. A witty addition was a petite wedge of grilled cheese sandwich floating in the soup.

Our tab was $49 before tip for a sitdown lunch for four, which seemed more than fair. Granted, the food is not the fanciest that Salt has on tap. But the menu makes sense for those desiring a reasonable meal prepared with care that can be enjoyed quickly.

ALL THE CULTURE YOU NEED, IN ONE SPOT

On Friday, April 6, the Dairy Center for the Arts will host an evening of art, movies, music and food. “mmmmmBoulder” will feature “everything local,” including short films by Boulder County filmmakers and live music from Boulder’s own Rebecca Folsom, Ash Ganley and Lisa Bell.

Art from Pamela Olson, Kelly Shanafelt, Linda Parks and Carlentini Jewelry will be featured in the lobby, as will an array of Boulder’s natural products. Local food by Top of the Hill Grill West and Shamane’s Bake Shoppe will be for sale.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. for food and art, and the show begins at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 at the Dairy box office.

TWISTED PINE GOES MEDIEVAL

Twisted Pine Brewing Company will debut the West Bound Braggot, the fourth beer in its Artisan Ale Project, on Saturday, April 7.

The West Bound Braggot is Twisted Pine’s “take on a medieval classic,” says the brewery. Braggot was traditionally a mix of mead and ale popular in Europe throughout the Middle Ages. Twisted Pine’s attempt to revive the drink includes malted barley, orange blossom honey, Citra hops, Tasmanian pepper berries and “Buddha’s hand,” and is fermented with Belgian saison yeast.

Like the rest of the Artisan Ales, the West Bound Braggot’s label features a painting by a local artist. Lael Har’s artwork will be displayed in the Twisted Pine ale house until May 5.

Avery Brewing Company will also release a new brew on April 7.

The second in Avery’s Annual Barrel Series, Uncle Jacob’s Stout was aged for six months in Bourbon barrels and boasts a 17.4 percent alcohol by volume (ABV).

The name of the stout refers to Adam Avery’s sixth Great Grand Uncle Jacob. According to the company, while doing a genealogy project, Avery discovered that this grand uncle had established a distillery in Bourbon County, Ky., in 1790, and was the first distiller to call his whiskey “bourbon.” The brew has flavors of toffee, caramel, vanilla, hints of coconut and dried currants and cherries, Avery says.

Sales of Uncle Jacob’s Stout will begin at 5 p.m. on Saturday in the Avery Tap Room, and each 12-ounce bottle will cost $10.

HOMEBREW from Page 50

Boulder, they say, because its beer scene is so lively. Howland says Boulder’s the right place for a craft brewery.

“With the craft beer culture in Boulder County,” he says, “it just felt like at some point I just couldn’t not do it.”

Clark says that culture is a powerful one, but it’s also welcoming.

“I just hope to be a part of this killer beer scene. It’s hard not to be incredibly excited about beer,” he says.

He isn’t concerned about a crowded market because Boulderites are so often willing to try new and different brews, he says.

And all three are definitely going to be different. Each brewer is working on his particular niche. For Frazee, that means going big.

“We enjoy making the bigger beers,” he says. “We’ll have session beers, but we do like the big Belgian beers, the big IPAs.”

Belgians are home territory for Twelve Degree.

“I’m doing all Belgian style,” Howland says. “There’s a unique process. … The yeast does its thing and you end up with these amazing spicy and fruity flavors that are just really special.”

Clark, meanwhile, makes beers like a chef: adding ingredients to emphasize tastes. He adds dates and caramelized sugar to his brown ale and fresh lemon zest and juniper berries to his IPA. “My wife calls them ‘chef beers,’” he says, “because of the use of those ingredients.”

Clark’s BRU will be first out of the gate this spring and summer. He says his as-yet-unnamed brown ale will be tapped April 9 at Centro, while The West End Tavern will start pouring his IPA, named Citrum, around the same date.

have you read the word “poop” in a food column?

See what I’m willing to do for you people?

The fact is, the recipe below is healthy and delicious, and it tricks you into thinking it’s rich when it’s really just a nice assortment of nutty and sweet flavors. And filling up on vegetable matter is a much more pleasant, unbuckle-your-belt-and-exhale experience, mostly because your body will turn that food into fuel much faster, and you can put your pants back on and go TPing houses or to 24 Hour Fitness or whatever it is you do after dinner.

Note: If you want something more starchy and filling, you can add the gnocchi recipe from a few weeks ago to this dish. It’s crazy delicious.

Parsley and cashew pesto

Half a bunch of Italian parsley 2 tbsp. chopped basil leaves ¼ cup cashews (dry roasted preferably) 3 garlic cloves (roasted would be best, but raw will be just fine) 1 tsp. honey Salt and pepper to taste Up to 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

Combine all ingredients but olive oil in a food processor or blender until the blades cannot cut the mixture any finer (you’ll hear that high-pitched, we’re-not-doing-anything sound).

Add about a tablespoon of olive oil at first, just to get things working again. You may need to stop the processor and scrape the inside walls as well.

It’s really up to you how much oil you add. I like a pesto that is more like a paste than a sauce, but it’s your call. Just know that the veggies will cook in oil as well.

For the veggies

About 2 cups Brussels sprouts About 2 cups broccoli florets 3 pickled beets, sliced into fourths 2 portabella mushrooms 1 cup cherry tomatoes ¾ cup parsley and cashew pesto

In a large saucepan, set to medium high, add about a tablespoon of olive oil.

Quarter each Brussels sprout and add to the pan the moment you see the oil begin to smoke. Toss the sprouts a few times, then add a pinch of salt and pepper.

Once sprouts begin to color, chop broccoli into bite-sized pieces and add to pan.

The broccoli will start to turn a darker green, starting with the leaves. Once the stalks color, chop each mushroom into ½-inch squares and add them to the pan. The mushrooms will cook faster if there’s a bit more moisture, so maybe add a teaspoon more oil depending on how much is already in the pan.

The beets are cooked (pickled, whatever), so wait until the mushrooms are cooked through to add. You’ll want to put about 2 tablespoons of pesto in with the beets and toss for about 3 minutes.

Paint a thick stripe of pesto on each plate. Then spoon the veggies over it.

Now that the pan is empty, halve each cherry tomato and toss in the pan until they start to soften, about 2 to 3 minutes. Spoon about ¼ cup over each dish.

astrology ARIES

MARCH 21-APRIL 19:

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

Please study this testimony: “Born in a rancid, batinfested cave at the base of the smoldering Sangay Volcano, I was raised by the half-bear demon princess Arcastia. At the age of 4 my training as a ninja shaman began when I was left naked and alone next to a stream of burning lava with only two safety pins, a package of dental floss, and a plastic bag full of Cheerios. My mission: to find my way to my spiritual home.” Now, Aries, I’d like you to compose your own version of this declaration: a playful, over-the-top myth about your origins that gives you a greater appreciation for the heroic journey you’ve been on all these years.

TAURUS

APRIL 20-MAY 20:

Our ancestors owned slaves and denied education to girls.

What were they thinking? Time magazine asked renowned historian David McCullough if there was anything we do today that our descendants will regard as equally insane and inexcusable. His reply: “How we could have spent so much time watching TV.” I’ll ask you, Taurus, to apply this same exercise on a personal level. Think of some things you did when you were younger that now seem incomprehensible or ignorant. Then explore the possibility that you will look back with incredulity at some weird habit or tweaked form of self-indulgence you’re pursuing today. (P.S.: It’s an excellent time to phase out that habit or self-indulgence.)

GEMINI

MAY 21-JUNE 20: “I can’t tell if I’m dealing well with life these days or if I just don’t give a shit any more.” I stumbled upon that comment at someecards.com, and I decided to pass it along for your consideration. You may be pondering the same riddle: feeling suspicious about why you seem more relaxed and tolerant than usual in the face of plain old everyday chaos.

I’m here to tell you my opinion, which is that your recent equanimity is not rooted in jaded numbness. Rather, it’s the result of some hard work you did on yourself during the last six months. Congrats and enjoy!

CANCER

JUNE 21-JULY 22:

What excites you, Cancerian? What mobilizes your self-discipline and inspires you to see the big picture? I encourage you to identify those sources of high-octane fuel, and then take extraordinary measures to make them a strong presence in your life. There has rarely been a better time than now for you to do this. It could create effects that will last for years.

(P.S.: Here’s a further nudge from Ralph Waldo Emerson: “Every great and commanding movement in the annals of the world is the triumph of enthusiasm. Nothing great was ever achieved without it.”)

LEO

JULY 23-AUG. 22:

While browsing in a bookstore, I came across a book and deck of cards that were collectively called Tarot Secrets. The subtitle of the kit was “A Fast and Easy Way to Learn a Powerful Ancient Art.” I snorted derisively to read that claim, since I myself have studied Tarot intensively for years and am nowhere near mastery. Later, though, when I was back home meditating on your horoscope, I softened my attitude a bit. The astrological omens do indeed suggest that in the upcoming weeks and months, you just might be able to learn a rather substantial skill in a relatively short time.

VIRGO

AUG. 23-SEPT. 22:

Writing in The New Yorker, Joanna Ravenna paraphrased German philosopher Nietzsche: “The best way to enrage people is to force them to change their mind about you.”

I’d like to see you mutate this theory in the coming weeks, Virgo. If possible, see if you can amuse and entertain people, not enrage them, by compelling them to change their minds about you. I realize that’s a tricky proposition, but given the current astrological omens, I have faith that you can pull it off.

LIBRA

soon the freebie became so popular that Wrigley rearranged its entire business. Now it’s a multi-billion-dollar company that sells gum in 140 different countries — and no baking powder. Maybe there’s something like that on the verge of happening in your own life, Libra: What seemed like the main event could turn out to be secondary, or what seemed incidental might become a centerpiece. Is there something you are overvaluing at the cost of something you are undervaluing?

SCORPIO

OCT. 23-NOV. 21:

People in intimate relationships are hypersensitive to negative comments from their partners. Psychologists say it takes five compliments to outweigh the effects of a single dash of derogatory criticism. I’m sure the ratio is similar even for relationships that aren’t as close as lovers and spouses. With this in mind, I urge you to be extra careful not to dispense barbs. They would be especially damaging during this phase of your astrological cycle — both to you and to those at whom you direct them. Instead, Scorpio, why not dole out an abundance of compliments? They will build up a reservoir of goodwill you’ll be able to draw on for a long time.

SAGITTARIUS NOV. 22-DEC. 21:

Researchers report that the typical man falls in love 5.4 times over the course of his life, while the average woman basks in the glow of this great mystery on 4.6 occasions. I suspect you may be close to having a .4 or .6 type of experience, Sagittarius: sort of like infatuation, but without the crazed mania. That could actually be a good thing. The challenging spiritual project that relationship offers may be most viable when the two people involved are not electrifyingly interwoven with every last one of their karmic threads.

Maybe we have more slack in our quest for intimacy if we love but are not obsessed.

CAPRICORN

DEC. 22-JAN. 19:

“I couldn’t wait for success,” said rich and famous comedian Jonathan Winters, “so I went ahead without it.” I love that approach, and I suggest you try it out. Is there any area of your life that is held captive by an image of perfection?

Consider the possibility that shiny concepts of victory and progress might be distracting you from doing the work that will bring you meaning and fulfillment. If you’re too busy dreaming of someday attaining the ideal mate, weight, job, pleasure and community, you may miss out on the imperfect but amazing opportunities that are available right now.

AQUARIUS

JAN. 20-FEB. 18:

On Reddit.com, Kaushalp88 asked the question, “What is the most badass thing that you have ever done, but that other people weren’t impressed by?” Here’s his own story: “I was at an ice cream shop. At the exit, there was a small raised step I didn’t see. I tripped over it with my ice cream cone in my right hand. The ice cream ball sprung out of the cone.

I instinctively lurched my left hand forward and grabbed it, but at the same time I was already falling toward the pavement. I tucked my head into my chest and made a perfect somersault, rising to my feet and plopping the ice cream back in the cone.” I suspect you will soon have comparable experiences, Aquarius — unusual triumphs and unexpected accomplishments. But you may have to be content with provoking awe in no one else beside yourself.

PISCES

FEB. 19-MARCH 20:

“Worry often gives a small thing a big shadow.” So says a Swedish proverb. Can we talk about this, please, Pisces?

Of course there are real hazards and difficulties in life, and they deserve your ingenious problem-solving. But why devote any of your precious energy to becoming embroiled in merely hyped-up hazards and hypothetical difficulties?

Based on my analysis of the astrological omens, now is a propitious time to cut shadows down to their proper size.

It’s also a perfect moment to liberate yourself from needless anxiety. I think you’ll be amazed at how much more accurate your perceptions will be as a result.

SEPT. 23-OCT. 22:

In 1892, when Wrigley was just starting out as a company, its main product was baking powder. Free chewing gum was included in each package as a promotional gimmick. But
