Danish right on Palestine (Re: “When Palestine declares its independence,” Danish Plan, Sept. 22.)

Passing through Boulder on the way to Aspen to enjoy your state’s remarkable foliage, I grabbed every newspaper around the hotel for dining and entertainment plans. Boulder Weekly was especially helpful in that. And I particularly enjoyed Mr. Danish’s predictions as to what will come of the Palestinian push for symbolic U.N. approval of their statehood bid. His was as credible and cogent an overview of what’s in store as anything I’ve seen elsewhere.

The saddest part is the Palestinians could have had a state more than 60 years ago had the Arabs (there were no Palestinians back then) done as the Jews did and accepted half a loaf of that small sliver of land. Instead, they chose to attack the tiny, seemingly vulnerable Jewish statelet from all sides with four or five different Arab nations’ armies.

That didn’t work, yet they continue to deny the Israelis a peaceful coexistence, continue to lionize the terrorists who kill Israeli schoolchildren by naming plazas, town squares, schools and sports teams after these convicted mass murderers.

Despite that, Israel has, with USA’s help, offered them virtually all they asked in terms of land swaps and a capitol in east Jerusalem. Arafat couldn’t make peace for fear his followers would kill him. Abbas is similarly invertebrate.

D

Now President Abbas, who, having refused to allow elections in recent years, is serving without any electoral mandate, announces his country will not allow Jews to reside there, yet he demands Israel allow literally millions of Arabs into their nation. That kind of arrogance, that breathtaking sense of entitlement, only comes from decades

The Highroad

o you know any of the dozen Congress critters who’re on the superpowerful deficit-reduction supercommittee? I don’t mean do you know their names, but do you really know them — know them well enough that they’ll take your call?

This is one Congressional committee that’s likely to affect your life, for it’s going to decide such things as whether to whack your Social Security benefits or cut back on Big Oil’s $4 billion-ayear taxpayer subsidy. You might have an opinion about which choice the supercommittee members should make — but can you reach any of the members personally and get a chance to bend their ear? No? Too bad, because Big Oil can. And it is.

So are insurance giants, Wall Street bankers, and other corporate powers — not only because of their big-dollar campaign donations, but also because they have some very special lobbyists who’re on a firstBoulder Weekly

of staff for Sen. Max Baucus. Indeed, Baucus’ Senate office seems to have been a training ground for influence peddlers — a couple dozen of his former aides are now lobbying him and the other 11 deficit whackers to protect the subsidies that oil, insurance and other corporations receive from us taxpayers. As one Congressional watchdog dryly notes, “It’s not like [the 12 members] are in an idealized, platonic debating society.”

Indeed not. Once again, the game is rigged for those with the money and connections to play inside. And they wonder why Congress and corporate lobbyists rank below E. coli bacteria in public approval ratings.

cle is right on. As a dog owner, professional trainer and avid outdoors person, I, too, feel strongly about pushing for dog owners to be responsible, respectful of other trail users and in control and aware of their dogs at all times. Not everyone is a dog person, and some are even terrified of dogs, and we must respect that many people choose to hike for the peace and solitude of it and do not want to be approached by even the friendliest dog.

As a trainer, I always push clients to the side of the leash. I tell them your dog should not be off leash on public lands or anywhere unless you can guarantee, through thorough proofing and practice, that your dog will come immediately when called on the first command, even under the most intense distraction. Keeping your dog on leash is not a mark of shame — it’s a responsible thing to do, and many, whether they show it or not, will greatly appreciate you taking steps to keep your dog under your close control.

The Boulder voice and sight program is a great idea, and the informational video depicts a perfect image of how it should be — dogs stay close to their owners, do not approach other hikers, dogs or wildlife, and the owners always pick up their pet’s waste. This is great. However, very few people actually have or know how to have this level of control over their dogs, which is where trainers like me come in. The voice and sight tag program is built almost entirely on the honor system, leaving it up to the often naive owner to make the call as to whether or not their dog is reliable off leash.

Unfortunately, I find that many think the criteria for off-leash reliability is simply “my dog doesn’t run away,” or “he comes back after I scream his name 16 times and plead with a cookie,” or 6 September 29, 2011

“he comes when I call, but just runs past me, loops around and heads right back to whatever/whoever was distracting him in the first place.”

I personally think that in order to re-vamp this voice and sight tag program, there needs to be: 1) A test, proctored by a professional dog trainer or trained law enforcement officer, and it is up to them to determine whether or not that dog is well-trained enough to be off leash on public lands. No more of this “just mail in a check and get a tag” stuff. That is just insane to me. Who knows what unruly, out-of-control or even dangerous dogs are wearing that tag, and what owners are thinking, “Hey, my dog has a voice and sight tag now — we can go anywhere and do whatever we want!” I think it would also be a good idea for owners to have to pass the American Kennel Club’s Canine Good Citizen test in order to even apply for a voice and sight tag.

2) A volunteer corps made up of an army of frequent trail users to help enforce the rules. We all know money is short all around, and it is simply not feasible to have enough rangers and law enforcement officers out there on trails to effectively enforce these rules.

Putting the power in the public’s hands, like Pamela White, who wrote this article, to call out, educate/inform and possibly even issue tickets or at the least take down tag numbers of offleash offenders.

3) Have a set and posted “offender system” visible at all trailheads — maybe something like first offense is a warning, second offense is a fine and third offense is banishment of that dog from public lands until that dog retakes the voice and sight test to prove it has see LETTERS Page 8

am responding to Paul Danish’s Aug. 11 article (“Banning corporate personhood would destroy U.S. economy”).

Danish claims that corporate personhood is one of the defining characteristics of the corporation. Not true.

Until the Supreme Court decision in 1886 in Santa Clara vs. Southern Pacific Railroad, corporations were not considered to be persons with constitutional rights. Instead they were regarded as artificial entities regulated and chartered by state legislatures for a specific purpose and limited time period. They could lose their status if they violated their charter or hurt the public interest.

The people were in secure control of corporations.

The limitations on corporations were very intentional on the part of the founders of this country who had been exploited and oppressed by corporations chartered by the king of England.

Because the Supreme Court granted constitutional rights to corporations in 1886 and has greatly expanded those rights since that time, corporations have become the dominant force in all areas of our society, including in our political and economic systems. In courts of law,

they have been able to use their constitutional rights to trump community efforts to protect the public good and the environment.

Through the buying of public officials with campaign contributions, corporations have been able to control the major decisions that are made in our legislatures at the national and state levels. This has been disastrous for our country. Corporations have undermined our ability to address our massive health care and environmental crises, exported our jobs to low-wage countries with minimal environmental regulation, undermined living wages, safety standards and the right to organize labor unions, and pressured Congress to create a massive war economy.

Danish also claims that abolishing corporate personhood will negatively affect limited liability and dampen investment. This is not true. Limited liability for corporations comes from state statutes, not the Constitution, and will not be affected by reversing corporate personhood.

Ironically, Danish claims that reining in the corporations and putting the see PERSONHOOD Page 8

people back in charge of our country would destroy the economy. Where has Danish been? It was the largest financial corporations in the United States — Citicorp, JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo to name a few — that speculated recklessly, out of pure unadulterated greed, on bad investments and drove the U.S. economy and the world economy into the ground.

And then when some Congress people wanted to reform the financial system, the banks bought off important members of the committees that were supposed to carry out the reform. This led Sen. Dick Durban of Illinois to remark: “Frankly they [the banks] own the place.” The result was ineffectual reform, continued massive speculation by the banks and a toppling world economy that continues to spiral downward.

Corporations can serve a legitimate role in our society. They can make products and provide jobs. They can serve the public. But as long as they are given constitutional rights, their power will drown out the voices of the real living, breathing people. Since the primary purpose of a corporation is to make profits, which are calculated quarterly, they rarely have the broad or long-term perspective of real people about what is

best for the country and our people.

In Germany, where corporations are not considered persons and don’t have constitutional rights, the economy is doing much better than in the United States. Because the people have power over corporations, Germany has been able to better protect its workers from the economic disaster that is facing Americans. If corporate constitutional rights in the U.S. were abolished, Congress and the American people, rather than huge corporations, would have the power to make many more decisions about our environment, climate change, health care, jobs, our economy and our fast-disappearing safety net.

The purpose of Ballot Issue 2H is to give the people of Boulder an opportunity to voice support for a reversal of the radical Supreme Court decisions that gave corporations constitutional rights. These decisions were profoundly anti-democratic and cause major harm to most Americans on a daily basis. We need to reverse this as soon as possible.

Please stand up for democracy and vote for Ballot Issue 2H in support of limiting constitutional rights to real people. For more information or to get involved, go to www.yeson2H.org.

since received sufficient training to be allowed back on the trails.

I don’t want to exclude people and their dogs from using trails and enjoying the outdoors, but I want to encourage quality, effective and durable training. Hey, if you screw up and your dog jumps on enough people to get that dog banished from public lands, I don’t want that to be a permanent sentence. I want that to be encouragement to work harder to improve and receive more training and to try again!

Also, I think it may be a good idea to host frequent promotional events at trailheads to inform owners of what the voice and sight program really means and requires, to remind what trails and areas of trail are on-leash only and to screen/test dogs before they head out on trail, letting dog owners and other hikers know these rules can and will be enforced, and those who have the abili-

ty to enforce them have a strong presence on these trails, likely discouraging irresponsible or under-trained dogs from being set loose on unsuspecting hikers and wildlife.

We already have the manpower out there to step up and call out those who are being irresponsible with their dog/s.

We have thousands of willing eyes out there already. Let’s use them! Thank you!

T

he idea of Georgia inmate Troy Davis lying on a gurney in an agonizing wait for nine justices hundreds of miles away to resolve in a single-sentence statement that he should in fact die — even if innocent — should be enough to give pause to the most ardent supporters of the death penalty.

Davis was executed for the killing of a police officer 22 years ago, despite scant forensic evidence and recantations over the years of most of the eyewitnesses.

Even some of the jurors said they’ve changed their minds about his guilt.

“Casey Anthony is found not guilty by reasonable doubt, but Troy Davis is executed despite tremendous and widespread doubt,” was one of the most salient tweets during an evening in which Troy Davis was the biggest topic on Twitter.

This execution wasn’t justice. My sympathies to the family of officer Mark MacPhail, but this wasn’t even the retribution they were seeking.

It is these kinds of miscarriages of justice that strengthen calls for abolishing the death penalty.

The New York Times editorial page said Davis was an example that “across the country, the legal process for the death penalty has shown itself to be discriminatory, unjust and incapable of being fixed.”

That depends on where you live. In Washington state, the death penalty is carried out rarely and, so far, absent the racial disparities plaguing other states.

Included in the handful of executions since the state resumed the death penalty in the 1990s were Cal Coburn Brown, who raped, tortured and killed a 22-yearold woman, and Westley Alan Dodd, who kept a torture rack in his house and killed little boys. Those were easy calls.

The tougher calls rightly become life sentences. Some states are drenched in blood, given how many people were wrongly sent to their deaths. Southern states, marked by racial and socioeconomic disparities in the justice system, ought to refrain from using the death penalty. Where caution is warranted, states ought to do like Illinois: An alarming number of exonerations led then-Gov. George Ryan to empty death row.

But lumping all death-penalty states, or cases, together doesn’t work for me or the two out of three Americans identified in a Gallup poll last year in support of the death penalty.

The same night Davis was put to death, an avowed white supremacist who killed a man by dragging him from the end of a truck — eventually decapitating him — was executed in Texas. I’m not confused about that man’s culpability or the appropriateness of the punishment.

I’m even fine with the high costs of proseBoulder Weekly

Let’s return to capital punishment as a rare option for the most heinous crimes; a punishment carried out not as a deterrent, but as a true punishment for those we’re certain deserve it. Otherwise, as Davis said in his final words: “May God have mercy on our souls.”

GMOs get a go-ahead

Cropland advisory group suggests review process over outright ban

I

f you slice open a strawberry, it still looks like a strawberry, whether it’s genetically modified or not. If you slice open the recent decision by the Cropland Policy Advisory Group on genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and organic crops in Boulder County, it looks less like a decision and more like a complicated system of checks and approvals still open for revision.

The Cropland Policy Advisory Group decided to permit GMOs in its proposed policy in a 6-3 vote on Sept.

20. GMO opponents argue that it doesn’t extend enough protections to organic farmers, who risk contamination from pesticides and cross-pollination. County officials say the county’s support of organic farms is clear.

“Essentially what it says is there’s a certain amount of controversy ongoing about genetically engineered crops, so Boulder County needs to be careful about how they use the technologies,” says Jesse Rounds, resource planner for Parks and Open Space. “And it lays out a series of checks that say if the technology is compatible with our core principles, if it claims to improve soil quality or reduce impact on soil quality or biodiversity, then that’s good. Then a series of things that if it says it’s going to increase yield or it’s going to improve nutrition, we need to check on those things before we approve it and we would only approve technologies that do what they say.”

Parks and Open Space staff will independently review every GMO crop proposed for Boulder County, according to Rounds, drawing on expertise from Colorado State University, the CSU Extension Office, the USDA, local tenants and interest groups. GMO crops will also be reviewed every five years, under the proposed policy.

The next step for the Cropland Policy Advisory Group’s recommendations is a review on Oct. 5. Parks and Open Space staff will review them and approve or overturn them, though Rounds says they’ve worked closely with the advisory group and are most interested in preserving these recommendations. From there, the Parks and Open Space proposals and comments Boulder Weekly

by Elizabeth Miller from the public will go to the county Food and Agriculture Policy Council, which will review them and make a recommendation on whether to submit those proposals to the county commissioners.

Cropland Policy Advisory Group member Dea Sloan wrote the suggested policy, which was considered alongside proposals to ban GMOs or phase them out over a number of years. Banning GMOs outright seemed too limiting, Sloan says, particularly given her research that there isn’t a market for organic corn or wheat crops in Colorado.

“A Boulder County farmer could grow organic wheat, but there isn’t any place to sell it as organic wheat,” Sloan says. There’s a market for organic fruits and vegetables, she says, but not for organic grains or organic sugar beets.

Three organic dairy and farming representatives on the advisory group favored banning GMO crops.

Richard Andrews, who runs the Andrews Family Farm and farms organically, was among that minority.

“The reason that I generally will oppose genetically modified organisms is, for one, I don’t think the science has been thoroughly enough investigated,” he says. “There’s a whole lot of new information coming out in fairly rapid fire, just in the last couple years, and the information that is showing concerns about negative side effects of the crops themselves in the food chain, the effects on the animals or the people that eat these products made with these crops — that’s part of the avenue of concern, and the other part is the pesticides used.”

Using GMO crops may save farmers time and money, but the risks include glyphosate, the herbicide known as Roundup, Touchdown, or Rodeo, which has been found to contaminate water sources, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, and to eventually produce strains of weeds resistant to glyphosate. Watching those resistant weeds is high on the Agriculture Policy Council’s list of concerns, according to Rounds. There’s only one crop planted in Boulder County that’s resistant to Roundup, he says, and it’s only applied

every few years.

But among the tertiary effects of GMO use is the damage to Boulder County’s brand, argues Mary VonBreck, campaign manager for GMO Free Boulder.

“The epicenter of organic growth is right here in Boulder. You have a huge constituency of people who live here for that brand,” VonBreck says. “Everyone’s livelihood is linked to that brand.”

Boulder is home to food processing companies, including Celestial Seasonings, Silk and Alfalfa’s.

“I think that the brand is more important locally than it is outside of the area, and I think that locally consumers are going to buy natural and organic because they want to support natural and organic brands and local brands,” Sloan says. “I think outside of our region people aren’t going to buy a product just because it comes from Boulder.”

The proposal also recommends some “good neighbor” practices, but that’s a one-way street, GMO opponents say. The proposal did not move forward with a GMO buffer zone to protect organic crops from contamination from pesticides and cross pollination.

“There is no protection for the organic farmers, meaning there is no protection for organic foods,” VonBreck says.

But because the only GMO crop in Boulder County now is corn, that’s the only crop that could possibly be crosspollinated, Sloan says.

After the GMO decision, the following night the Cropland Policy Advisory Group turned its attention to organic farming in general and agreed to transition more of the county’s open space toward organic farming. Their goal was to meet or exceed the national growth rate for organic farming, which was 12 percent in 2008, the latest numbers available from the USDA, Sloan says.

As those lands are converted to organic standards, they will no longer be available for GMO crops.

“I think in [the advisory group’s] policies you see that they recognize the value of organic farming. Unfortunately

I think everyone is focused a little too much on this one part of a larger document and the larger document encourages organic production,” Rounds says.

“We have a policy proposal that says we will give preference to people proposing to grow organically on our property. We give land rent breaks to organic farmers.

One of the things we spend quite a bit of our agricultural funds on is preparing ground for organic farmers. We do quite a bit, and I think the advisory group encouraged us to keep doing that plus more.”

But VonBreck says these policies don’t have enough teeth. The Food and Agriculture Policy Council was mandated to have 10 percent of open space farms being grown organically by 2012.

That would be roughly 2,000 acres. The county currently has 580 acres leased for organic farms, or about 2.8 percent.

“If they want to have an organic policy and increase organics, a GMO policy doesn’t fit. They’re going to have to get rid of GMOs. Period,” VonBreck says. “If I were going to believe they were moving toward that, I would have to see a policy that said no GMOs.” Rounds says he doesn’t expect to see a huge number of genetically engineered crop proposals.

“There are a number of genetically engineered crops on the market already.

Only a few of them really have a market here in Boulder, and then amongst those, only a few of them could grow here in Boulder County, and beyond that only a few of them would be proposed to grow here,” Rounds says. “It’s not going to be a deluge of proposals.”

But Andrews says he thinks the problem is larger than that.

“I think the flood gates are just, they’re open,” Andrews says. “Right now, we’ve only been dealing with in this county a couple of crops, and across the nation that’s been the case, but I think we’re going to see an onslaught of even more and more types of crops that are going to be, the seed source are going to be GMOs.” The Cropland Policy Advisory Group’s recommendations will be presented and opened to public comment at an open house on Nov. 7.

Should the sheriff

serve more time?

Voters asked to give county’s top cop up to four terms

by Jefferson Dodge

C

haracter first.

That’s the motto that Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle has decided to stress during his tenure as

sheriff.

And he says the most rewarding thing about his job is that his department has really embraced the concept.

Describing the word “character,” Pelle says that of the many times he has had to discipline or fire employees, it has never been about their skills, it has been about their character, about things like lying or cheating.

Character, he says, is about his deputies going above and beyond, helping someone change a tire, or giving someone with a minor injury a ride to the hospital.

“How would you want your relatives treated?” he asks.

Pelle’s “Character First” initiative may be one of the reasons why a group of his employees, led by Undersheriff Tom Shomaker, wrote a letter to the county commissioners requesting a ballot question to give the sheriff four terms instead of three. Other groups wrote similar letters to the commissioners, including the Democratic Women of Boulder County.

It’s something that Pelle didn’t ask for, but he acknowledges that it would be nice to have the option to run for sheriff one more time once his third term ends, three years from now. He’ll be 55 at that point, and if he were elected to a fourth term, it would let him sail into the sunset of retirement.

While the extension of term limits ideally should be based on what makes sense in the structural big picture and not Boulder Weekly

on the particular person in the position at the time, some say that ballot question 1A is as much a referendum on Pelle’s performance as anything else.

The sheriff allows that it wouldn’t be on the ballot if he were doing a poor job, but he says the ballot question goes beyond his performance. While he says his staffers’ letter was gratifying, Pelle points out that “employees like predictability and stability in the workplace.”

He won’t campaign for the ballot question because he says it would appear self-serving, but he agrees that strict term limits are better-suited for politically charged positions where new blood is needed regularly. Many agree that the sheriff, like the coroner, is a skill-based position that should stay occupied by a single person for a long period of time if that person is doing a good job.

“It can be political getting the job, but doing the job is not political,” says Pelle, who is a Democrat. “We protect Republicans, too. We treat everybody the same. It’s not a partisan office.”

Besides, he says, the citizens can always vote a sheriff out of office if he or she is not doing a good job.

“I think a person could be here too long, and I’m aware that some people have,” Pelle says. “Things get stale, and it’s good to have new leadership and new ideas. But I’ll tell you that I’m a long way from there, and this proposal still keeps a cap on how long you can serve. You don’t want to wear out your welcome.”

As he lists his various duties, it becomes clear that three terms may not be enough time to master it all.

“It’s a broad range of things, and it takes a little while to figure out,” Pelle says.

He is in charge of about 400 employees and a $29 million budget, and his staff process 10,000 inmates a year. His responsibilities include overseeing the 911 call center, the jail, prisoner transportation, bailiff duties and other court security, detectives, patrol for the county’s rural areas, animal control, a drug task force and emergency management for major natural and manmade disasters, from floods and fires to riots on University Hill.

“And I get sued once or twice a month, usually frivolously,” he says. **** It was his performance during the Fourmile Fire last year that is commonly mentioned among his standout achievements.

“During the Fourmile Fire, Joe was so clearly the right person at the right place, doing what he was born to do,” says Commissioner Will Toor. “It was really remarkable to watch.”

Toor confirms that it wasn’t Pelle who pushed for the ballot question extending a sheriff ’s possible tenure to 16 years.

“We were definitely hearing from

folks that we were coming to the end of his time,” he says, calling Pelle “the perfect sheriff for Boulder County.”

Among the sheriff ’s accomplishments, Toor cites his ability to be ensconced and respected in the law enforcement community while understanding the broader public interests of the community, like treating people appropriately and respecting civil liberties. Toor also says Pelle has an appreciation for getting offenders the help they need, whether it’s mental-health care or addiction treatment, which may be part of the reason that Boulder County has the lowest incarceration rate, per capita, of any county in the Denver metro area.

“He gets the idea that his job isn’t to fill the jail, it’s to protect public safety,” he says.

Toor adds that Pelle has trained his deputies to avoid issuing tickets for piddly infractions, focusing instead on significant violations that present danger.

“As Joe would say, he doesn’t want his officers to do the bullshit stuff,” he says.

But aside from Pelle’s performance, Toor supports the general concept of extending term limits beyond two or three terms. see SHERIFF Page 14

“It takes awhile to understand how agencies and institutions function,” he says. “Just as you hit your stride, it’s time to go.”

According to Toor, the commissioners believed an initiative extending the sheriff ’s limits by one term was more likely to pass than lifting the term limits altogether.

Commissioner Cindy Domenico echoed Toor’s sentiments about Pelle.

“He’s doing exemplary work here in the county,” she says. “It’s a perfect fit for him. He has the professional skill set and has a wonderful way of working with people. … He can articulate a vision and inspire people to achieve it.”

Like Toor, she supports extending term limits on principle.

“Where else, in a professional position, at the height of your career, would you be asked to step down?”

Colorado voters approved two-term limits in 1990, but in 2005 Boulder County extended those limits to three terms for the clerk and recorder, assessor, treasurer, coroner, surveyor and sheriff. Voters narrowly agreed to do the same for the district attorney two years ago — by only nine votes, according to Brad Turner of the clerk and recorder’s office. **** Pelle, who was born in Burlington but raised in Boulder, attended Fairview High School and holds a master’s degree in criminal justice from the University of Colorado. He started as a cadet in the Boulder County Sheriff ’s Office in 1974, became a deputy sheriff in 1980 and then spent nearly two decades with the City of Boulder Police Department before running for sheriff in 2002.

Pelle says the most challenging parts of his job include managing major disasters and crimes, dealing with employee issues and the aforementioned lawsuits.

“It’s a people business,” he says. “We deal with emotions and bad decisions.

Every once in a while you get frustrated with the decisions people make. But it’s also extremely rewarding to see the department respond to leadership initiatives.”

One recent initiative involved relocating the entire sheriff ’s office east, from the Boulder County Justice Center to a new 76,000-square-foot facility near 55th Street and Flatiron Parkway.

Among the benefits of the move, Pelle says, is that the additional space means he no longer has to use off-site storage units for locking up evidence.

And deputies will likely drive several hundred thousand miles less per year, since they are so much closer to the jail, he explains. The facility, a renovated warehouse that was at least $3 million less than it would have cost to build on the jail property, features a historical exhibit, natural light, a weight room, large locker rooms and even bunk beds for deputies to sleep in when they are stranded by a storm or need a few hours of shut-eye between a night shift and a meeting.

But perhaps the most striking initiatives Pelle has shepherded have occurred at the jail, where inmates tend an expansive garden under the tutelage of master gardeners from the Colorado State University Extension who volunteer their time. There is a sign on the property that reads, “Better Jails and Gardens,” and Pelle says the inmates raise between 15,000 and 20,000 pounds of vegetables a year. The produce is used in the jail’s own kitchen, resulting in discounts from food provider Aramark, and any remainder is donated to Community Food Share.

Often, the garden volunteers become mentors to the inmates.

“It’s kind of a nourishing thing,” he says.

In addition, the jail features a vibrant GED program taught by retirees.

“We graduate more people out of our GED program than the Boulder Valley or St. Vrain Valley school districts,” he says. “They leave the jail with a tool they didn’t have when they got there.” **** Pelle says he spends the vast majority of his time in administrative meetings, serving on statewide commissions and speaking to community groups.

But he’s a law enforcement officer first and foremost. He still carries a gun and a badge and stays current on all of his certifications. And Pelle says he still pulls people over two or three times a month, usually on his drive to and from work.

“I think the deputies respect that I still can do the job,” he says. “That’s my roots.”

Santorum’s dirty ego Sen. Rick Santorum has an inflated sense of his own importance. He seems to think that because he’s white, male, Christian and a U.S. senator, he ought to have some control over the frontier known as the Internet.

Santorum’s problems with the Internet started with his own mouth during an Associated Press interview, when he said that anything other than married, heterosexual, procreative sex was deviant and that he supports outdated laws that banned anal sex, adultery and so on.

“If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery,” he told AP. In response, Dan Savage, at the suggestion of a reader, decided the best way to deal with Santorum was to redefine his name as something associated with gay sex — a brilliant, hilarious idea.

For the definition of “santorum,” Savage’s readers chose this: “the frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex.”

That definition can be found all over the Internet. If you search Google for “santorum,” you’ll find this definition ranked above Santorum’s own website.

Santorum wants that changed, and he can’t figure out why he can’t make Google cooperate. Though Google execs have explained that they can’t control the content of private websites, Santorum wants them to wipe santorum away.

“I suspect if something was up there like that about Joe Biden, they’d get rid of it,” Santorum whined. “If you’re a responsible business, you don’t let things like that happen in your business that have an impact on the country.”

And here’s where Santorum’s ego is exposed. How can Google’s search results for “santorum” possibly have an impact on the country? People who click on spreadingsantorum. com, the top search result, will either be offended or laugh their butts off. But our monuments won’t crumble. The stars and stripes won’t fall off the flag. And life will continue at the same petty pace as before.

Hey, Santorum, you’re not as important as you’d like to believe. You’re free to say what you want about other people’s sex lives, but we are equally free to say what we want about you. It’s called the First Amendment. Google it.

Nailin’ Palin Far be it for us to defend the likes of Sarah Palin, but what Mike Tyson said regarding an allegation in a new book that she had sex with NBA player Glen Rice was just plain wrong, on so many levels.

As if we didn’t already know that Tyson is a few sandwiches short of a picnic, he mixed his racial and sexual slurs by suggesting during an interview with a Las Vegas radio station that another black NBA star, like Dennis Rodman, could really be “pushing her guts up in the back of her head. … You want someone like Rodman — yeah baby! Let’s get that donkey in here now. Just imagine Palin with a big old black stallion ripping. Yeehaw!”

He also said that in Rice, Palin met the “wombshifter.” Tyson went on to suggest that “white girls” simply have to “get that out of their system.”

What a disgusting, crass, ignorant ear-biter. Maybe he needs to go back to prison and get something out of his system.

Nice cream Some people are just too up tight.

The conservative group One Million Moms has taken offense at the name of Ben & Jerry’s new ice cream, Schweddy Balls. For those of you who have been living under a rock, that’s a reference to a hilarious Saturday Night Live skit featuring Alec Baldwin playing bakery owner Pete Schweddy and saying, “No one can resist my Schweddy Balls.”

Well, these right-wing moms got their panties in a twist over that one and called for people to send letters to Ben & Jerry’s saying they will boycott the company’s products if they don’t discontinue the name.

Apparently the One Million Moms group didn’t like one of last year’s special flavors either. It was Ben & Jerry’s hat tip to gay marriage, a special edition of “Chubby Hubby” called “Hubby Hubby.”

Too bad so many moms are going to miss out on the Schweddy Balls. With fudgecovered rum and milk chocolate malt balls, it sounds delish.

Can’t wait until next year when these mewing mothers hear about Ben & Jerry’s next flavor, Betty White’s Dusty Muffin.

Going local to grow jobs

by Theo Romeo Brownlee’s group was, for a time, advocating for a local currency, one which could only be spent in the region. The idea is modeled after Berkshares, a local currency in Massachusetts that has nearly three million notes in circulation, according to berkshares.org.

The idea is, the money stays in the community.

“But, over the years, we’ve come to focus our primary efforts on food localization,” he says.

This is one way to mitigate a possible economic collapse, Brownlee says.

But it’s also a means of being in control of our food and a source for local jobs.

“It’s a significant amount of new economic activity that gets created and feeds the local economy,” he says.

According to a joint press release, issued by Transition and the Business Alliance for Local Living Economies, localizing 25 percent of food on the Front Range could result in the creation of 24,000 jobs and $1.6 billion in revenue.

But there are more than a few hurdles.

The region has very little infrastructure in place to process and distribute food. And, for now, that’s one of the primary issues Transition is working on.

“The infrastructure has been stripped away,” says Brownlee. “That’s a fairly daunting task. But there’s the demand side as well.”

There have been plenty of signs that the demand for local food has increased, especially in the restaurant industry,

Brownlee says.

“Four years ago, when we started tracking these things, we could only find eight restaurants in the county that were sourcing locally,” says Brownlee. “Now, we’ve lost track at about 80.”

However, before restaurants and grocery stores can be packed with delicious, local ingredients, people around here have to grow it.

To pursue its goal on this front, Transition Colorado is leading classes about growing food, raising chickens and bees, canning food and storing food.

The group is also working with local groups to spur investments in the local food infrastructure.

Transition received a private donation of $1.5 million, and created a joint venture with RecycOil called LFS Enterprises that will be building a distribution food hub in Boulder County.

RecycOil has previously been in the biofuels business, but will operate the distribution hub when it is completed.

“It’s a bit of a chicken-and-egg situation right now,” says Brownlee. “It’s about building demand and building capacity.

We ask farmers all the time, ‘Can you increase production?’ and they say, ‘Sure, but we’re not going to do that unless we know the demand is going to be there.’

So it’s challenging.”

For information on upcoming courses offered by Transition Colorado, Brownlee suggests signing up for the group’s newsletter via the website, www.transitioncolorado.org.

he end is coming. Famine, war, the horsemen and their antiquated and inefficient means of transportation — whatever you believe in, there’s an apparent solution. United Way, trees, not eating shellfish.

But what about the unromantic catastrophes like blizzards, floods and the occasional E. coli outbreak? What can we do about those?

Local non-profit group Transition Colorado has an answer.

“The area we currently depend on for our food stretches around the world,” says Michael Brownlee, a catalyst for Transition Colorado.

“That’s unsustainable. If we have a blizzard here, grocery stores are out of food for two days.”

The organization is trying to shrink the local foodshed down as much as possible. The group is pushing for Boulder County to source at least 25 percent of its total food from local sources by 2020.

Right now, Brownlee says Boulder County uses about 3 percent local.

Transition has been around since 2005, according to Brownlee, but used to focus on a variety of go-local campaigns.

“In 2007, when we were known as Boulder County Going Local, we introduced a campaign with several ‘memes,’ as we called them: grow local, eat local, buy local, local energy and local currency,” says Brownlee.

The power of Pyramid Peak

“The way that The Tree of Life ends up, it looks like somebody’s rock video. They all go to the seaside at the end and meet each other and wander about, and you think, ‘Oh no, Bono’s going to show up in a minute and start singing.’”

It makes sense for Cox to be praising the experimental, abstract scenes of Tree of Life; after all, he has just joined the faculty of a CU film program conceived and sculpted by the late, legendary experimental filmmaker Stan Brakhage. Cox is also an odd fit for the department, as his background, including 16 directorial credits and 45 screenplays, is in big-budget featurelength narratives and mainstream documentaries, whereas most experimental films are shorter, with little to no budget all.

To welcome the new faculty member, the International Film Series has been screening a retrospective of Cox’s work. It began with a pair of Cox’s cult clas-

t doesn’t take long for Alex Cox, University of Colorado Boulder assistant professor and director of such cult classics as Repo Man, Sid & Nancy, Walker and The Highway Patrolman (which screens at the International Film Series on Wednesday, Oct. 5), to show his famous independent streak. Just minutes into the conversation, he’s already articulating his take on Terrence Malick’s widely praised 2011 film, The Tree of Life, which had screened at the IFS the previous night.

“There’s 20 minutes of it that’s really great. Have you seen the film?” the British ex-pat asks.

“There’s 20 minutes that’s just got no people in it. It’s just a bunch of pictures of nebulas that they animated and made move, and stuff off the surfaces of planets, followed by a sequence with the birth of life on earth and a plesiosaur and then a couple of dinosaurs. For 20 minutes, it’s just marvelous … like an experimental film.

“If only it was 90 minutes of that instead of two and a half hours of Sean Penn and a woman staring through a window. It would’ve been an incredible film!

COX from Page 18

sics, the 1984 film Repo Man, a punkrock infused tale of a teenager who enters the repossession trade, and 1986’s Sid and Nancy, a gritty biopic of The Sex Pistols’ Sid Vicious. Then came Walker, a 1987 film about rogue filibuster William Walker, who declared himself president of Nicaragua in 1850. On Sept. 29, the IFS will screen The Highway Patrolman (1991), Cox’s fifth feature-length film and, he says, his best.

“It’s probably the most solid film that I’ve made,” Cox says. “I’m probably prouder of Walker, because Walker was harder, and Walker takes more risks, and is more experimental, but I think in terms of being a good film, I think Highway Patrolman is the best film I’ve made.”

The studio-approved success of Repo Man and Sid and Nancy set Cox up as a budding directorial talent, but after Walker, an openly political attack on the United States’ intervention in Nicaragua, Cox had trouble finding mainstream work. After pitching two scripts that went nowhere, it dawned on him that he might not get a job in Hollywood again. Undaunted, he found a Japanese producer to invest in a new film, created a script with longtime collaborator Lorenzo O’Brien, and headed south of the border to film

“It was very freeing to, say, when we go through a door, we’re not going to stop, go to a different location, shoot the other side and have the actor come out of the door. We’re going to go through the door with the actor. Just to do that was very liberating.”

The film lacks a happy, sentimental ending, instead opting for a sobering, realistic one. Pedro gets revenge, but not the ultimate revenge he was seeking. It’s not a story of a cop who beats the system, but rather a story of a cop who, little by little, finds himself forced to succumb to it.

Cox and O’Brien got the idea for the film in Mexico while scouting locations to shoot certain scenes in Walker.

Their driver was an ex-highway patrolman, and as they drove around Mexico in his Volkswagen Camper, he regaled Cox and O’Brien with tales of being a cop. Cox and O’Brien thought there might be a screenplay there, and they later turned the driver’s experiences into The Highway Patrolman.

The IFS will screen The Highway Patrolman — and the three films remaining in the Cox retrospective, Death and the Compass, Three Businessmen and Revengers Tragedy — on 35 mm prints. The full schedule is at www.internationalfilmseries.com.

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!

Beethoven abounds in Boulder this week

by Peter Alexander

I

t’s a good week for Beethoven.

Friday and Saturday, the Boulder Chamber Orchestra (BCO) opens its 2011–12 season with a concert that includes the exuberant Symphony No. 7 — so rhythmically exciting that Richard Wagner called it “the apotheosis of the dance.”

And Tuesday, the CU Faculty Tuesdays series offers violinist Edward Dusinberre, familiar here as first violinist of the Takács Quartet, Keith Bobo and faculty pianist David Korevaar playing a program of Beethoven sonatas.

The Boulder Chamber Orchestra, since 2004 the brainchild of conductor Bahman Saless, plays every program once in Boulder and once in the Denver area (details and ticket information: www.boulderchamber orchestra. org/concerts/201109.html). Works on the first program will be Mozart’s overture to The Abduction from the Seraglio, Mendelssohn’s soaring Violin Concerto played by soloist Lindsay Deutsch, and Beethoven’s Seventh.

These days it seems that everyone gives their season a name, and the BCO is no exception: All of 2011-12 is “Road to Mastery,” and the concert of Sept. 30 and Oct. 1 is “Liberation.”

“We actually have a name for every season,” Saless says. “I want to connect all the pieces within the concert in a certain way, and then connect all the concerts under the same heading. So ‘The Road to Mastery’ is my idea of pointing out the various pillars, in this case

The modern musical gentlemen

by P.J. Nutting Boulder Weekly

six different pillars, of what a composer goes through to reach mastery.”

In addition to the first concert, “Liberation,” the other pillars covered by the BCO season are “Piety,” “Festivity,” “Joy,” Reverence” and, at the end, “Mastery.”

And whatever you think of this recipe, Saless has a clear idea in mind.

“The first concert I call ‘Liberation,’” Saless explains, “because the Seventh Symphony is where Beethoven kind of left everything behind him.

Especially in the last movement he just completely lets go, so he’s completely liberated.

“The Mozart is probably the craziest overture he ever wrote.

And the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto immediately starts with the violin singing this beautiful song — there’s no introduction. So I thought that all of those are good examples of the composer being liberated and trying something completely new.”

If the BCO leaves you wanting more Beethoven, you will want to wander over to Grusin Music Hall in the CU Imig Music Building by 7:30 p.m. Tuesday for Dusinberre and Korevaar’s sonata program. Together, the two artists will play the first and second sonatas of Beethoven’s Op. 30 for violin and piano, and Korevaar will play the “Tempest” Sonata for piano, Op. 31 No. 2.

The concert is an extension of a recording project the two artists have undertaken together of Beethoven’s last two violins sonatas, the imposing “Kreutzer” Sonata

W

e’re just excited to show up and show people who we are,” David Macklovitch, a.k.a. Dave 1 of Chromeo, says about the duo’s first show in Boulder. “Smile, play the songs, have some banter, hear what a bunch of screaming fans in Boulder sounds like — that’s just what I want to do.”

This is a big part of Chromeo’s appeal in an environment full of vapid DJ personalities and rappers thriving on creating envy and intimidation. Fans who “get” Chromeo seem to understand that the personalities of guitarist/vocalist Macklovitch and keyboarist Patrick Gemayel (a.k.a. P-Thugg) are amicable and disarmingly innocent.

The name Chromeo comes from the fusion of “chrome” and “Romeo,” like a well-oiled love robot

and the gentler Sonata in G major, Op. 96.

The pairing of the Op. 31 No. 1 and No. 2 sonatas offers a similar contrast, but with the gentler piece first.

“Op. 30 No. 1 is a little bit like Op. 96,” Dusinberre says. “It’s extraordinary for Beethoven, a very genial, gently humorous, rather dreamy, lyrical piece. It’s just extremely intimate and beautiful.

“And the Op. 30 No. 2 in C minor is completely the opposite. It’s absolutely sort of Sturm und Drang, a very dramatic, blustery piece.”

As Dusinberre acknowledges, a comprehensive approach to programming would suggest that all three sonatas of Op. 30 would be played together.

“Admittedly we thought maybe we would do all three, but actually as a program that wouldn’t quite be satisfying,” he says.

“I’m a little bit less fond of No. 3. I don’t think it’s quite as interesting piece as the others,” Dusinberre explains. “So I think the combination of No. 1 and No. 2 is great. They couldn’t be more different from each other, so that program just seemed to make more sense to me than doing all three.

“I think the audience will greatly enjoy hearing David play the ‘Tempest’ Sonata. I think it’s going to be a more balanced, a more interesting program that way. And for me, it’s quite nice to get a little break in the middle!”

The performances might look like the start of a complete Beethoven sonata cycle, but Dusinberre is cautious about raising expectations.

“We don’t have any plans [to record more Beethoven]. I think we’re gradually exploring the cycle together, we will have done five of the 10 sonatas together, and I’m sure in the next three or four years we’ll try to play the other ones. And then we’ll see where we are.”

Either way, Chromeo creates a retro-futurist tint with talk-box vocals and other throwback gear, transporting their simple, catchy pop tunes to a more fun-loving region of electronic music.

It’s pop music for ravers: Chromeo’s music is driven by soaring synths, keytars and sampled drums that place it firmly in electronic territory but stay true to lyrically driven pop structures. Remixes and blog culture have further pushed their catchy hooks to wider audiences through heavy electro artists such as Laidback Luke, Yusek and MSTRKRFT, as well as Chromeo’s own remixes of songs by indie favorites such as Cut Copy, Treasure Fingers, Tiga and see CHROMEO Page 26

Boundaries for better sex

by Dr. Jenni Skyler Dear Dr. Jenni, I read your column last week about the woman who wasn’t so into sex. I’m in a similar predicament. My husband and I have sex about twice a month.

Sometimes I really enjoy it, and sometimes I feel like I’m just doing it because I know he needs it. The problem is that if I agree to more sex, he’ll just keep wanting more. It’s like he’s a bottomless pit. I’ve come to a point where I can’t even enjoy any intimate encounters because he’ll just want more sex. Is there a way to feel better or put a boundary on how much sex we have?

—Bounded by Sex

leading to a higher desire to be with him sexually.

Dear Dr. Jenni, My husband seems to have lost all sexual interest in me. He says it is because I have not lost the weight from when I had our son five years ago (about 75 pounds). I was heavy when we met, and he was attracted to me then. I would be motivated to lose weight if I knew it would change his libido and attitude towards me, but I don’t believe him. He says my weight is distasteful not because I’m heavy, but because he thinks it reflects a poor attitude of not wishing to take care of my health.

Patience a virtue for Buffs fans

by Matt Sparkman Courtesy of CU athletics

C

olorado fans must be patient.

Obviously, that’s a difficult assignment, given that’s all you’ve been told for the past six seasons, going back to Dan Hawkins’ first in 2006. But the coaching staff as presently constituted is savvy, intelligent and, most importantly, has put a high priority on accountability.

It was a Hawkinsian performance turned in by the Buffaloes and their coaching staff on Saturday. But you can bet that the response to CU’s failure in Columbus on the part of the coaching staff will be radically different than that of the Head Coach Jon Embree previous regime. Therein lies the greatest difference between Jon Embree and Hawkins.

Washington State, you can be sure that Embree will have one look at the he will not go near another punt inside game tape from Ohio State and the 10. undoubtedly take responsibility for the In a game that induced migraine laundry list of mistakes the Buffs made. after migraine, one fun moment came He will hold his players, his staff and, after wide receiver Keenan Canty commost importantly, himself accountable mitted an illegal procedure penalty. for their actions on and off the field.

It’s that kind of thirst and demand for perfection that makes Embree a perfect fit at his alma mater. Unfortunately for the staff and the upperclassmen, failure will rear its ugly head this year. The difference is that Embree’s Buffs might just refuse to accept it, and this attitude will make CU successful in the near future.

Losing by more than 20 points on the road at Ohio State in Jon Embree’s fourth game shouldn’t sound the alarm system for Buffs backers.

If the Buffs struggle to stay competitive against borderline top-25 opponents in Embree’s fourth season, then concern would certainly be justifiable.

The sense of post-Ohio State panic comes from the sloppiness the Buffs exhibited on Saturday. On the laundry list of mistakes are: a botched handoff from Tyler Hansen to Rodney Stewart; a poorly executed, left-footed rugby-style punt from Darragh O’Neill that went a little more than 20 yards; and a dropped punt from Stewart right before halftime that effectively punctured the fledgling balloon that was CU’s momentum going into the locker room.

But this is where the patience

Stats and facts This is the first official Pac-12 game for the football Buffaloes. CU played California in September, but this didn’t count as an official Pac-12 matchup because it was scheduled before CU joined the conference and would have given both teams an extra conference game.

CU is honoring the 10th anniversary of their only Big 12 championship in 2001. That year, Colorado was supposed to play Washington State (which was quite good at the time, winning the Pac-10 that year) on Sept. 15, but the game was cancelled due to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in New York, Washington D.C., and Pennsylvania.

In its 117 conference openers, the Buffs have achieved a 78-37-2 record, 36-13-1 at Folsom Field. CU’s last win in a conference opener was a memorable one. Colorado upset #3 Oklahoma in 2007, scoring 20 unanswered points, capped by a 45-yard Kevin Eberhart field goal as time expired.

predictions Matt Sparkman (3-1): Colorado, 28-27 This week may mark the last time I pick CU for the rest of the season.

Washington State is much improved in Paul Wulff’s fifth season, but Colorado is at home, and they have a tendency to play much better at Folsom (or nearby Denver) than on the road.

Guest Picker (3-1) — No guest picker this week.

comes in — it takes time to correct old habits. The O’Neill punt notwithstanding, Colorado’s mistakes were straight out of a Dan Hawkins coached game.

Each and every miscue displayed on Saturday, CU fans have seen before.

Colorado’s performance in Columbus was the same recurring nightmare from the past five years.

The three games that preceded the OSU debacle were the three bestcoached games in recent memory.

Embree and his offensive coordinator, Eric Bieniemy, script the first 15 plays of the game, something the previous staff would never have done. There were certainly mistakes, but adjustments were made, and CU always

ended the game stronger than they started.

That said, a win on Saturday against Washington State is necessary to keep confidence levels high. The Cougars have been one of the weakest teams in the Pac-10 in the past several years, but the most important factor comes geographically. Colorado is a far different (and better) team when they are at Folsom Field, which they are this weekend. Should CU lose, they may have a difficult time coming up with a win in their remaining eight conference games.

But even if this happens the message wouldn’t change.

Be patient.

CU men’s golf starts strong in 2011

by Matt Sparkman

C

olorado men’s golf is looking to return to prominence A program that boasts 27 NCAA championship appearances under legends Les Fowler and Mark Simpson and current head coach Roy Edwards has failed to make a trip to the NCAA finals since 2002.

Judging by the squad’s early performance, Edwards could have a group that could challenge in postseason next spring.

Colorado began the season by hosting the Mark Simpson Invitation, named after the late CU head coach. The Buffs, who jumped out to a big early lead on the first day, held off New Mexico and nationally ranked Oklahoma to win.

“It was a very strong field,” Edwards told CUBuffs.com. “It’s hard to win golf tournaments. This is the most important event on our regular season schedule, and to win a tournament that we have for Mark Simpson is really special and important to us.”

Junior Beau Schoolcraft had a huge weekend for the Buffaloes, as the UCLA transfer recorded back-to-back 66s on his scorecard in the first two rounds, finishing tied for first individually. Senior Kevin Kring tied for fifth, shooting at or below 70 all three rounds.

CU’s next stop was the Miranda Falcon Invitational at Air Force. Colorado finished all 54 holes tied for first with UNLV. The fate of the tournament was decided by a one-hole playoff. Colorado shot even par on the par-4 first hole, while UNLV went two-under par. Colorado narrowly missed out on winning back-to-back tournaments for the first time in program history.

“We did some nice things down the stretch that allowed us to be tied with UNLV,” said Edwards.

Kring averaged a 70 in the three rounds in Colorado Springs, and fellow senior, Dubai native Sebastian Heisele

and junior Derek Fribbs turned in solid performances and tied for eighth place.

CU headed east, to Holyoke, Colo., and the Ballyneal Golf and Hunt Club, to take on Colorado State in the Colorado Cup, a Ryder Cup-style headto-head matchup, with seven singles matches and three four-ball matches.

CSU captured four of the singles matches and two four-balls to win 6-4.

The loss was a setback for CU, seeing as they easily outshot the Rams in both the Simpson and the Miranda Falcon.

“We’re obviously disappointed in the outcome,” said Edwards. “We came here expecting to win. This is an incredible opportunity for both programs in the head-to-head format, and CSU was just better today.”

Winning their matches were Fribbs, freshman David Oraee (a Greeley West grad) and Kring. The only Buff pairing to win a four-ball matchup was composed of Schoolcraft and Heisele.

The fall season has been kind to Colorado, as CU sports a 30-0-1 record against division one competition in tournament stroke play. The minimum winning percentage required to gain entrance to Regionals for the NCAA tournament is .500. The Buffs seem to have that in hand.

Colorado will head south to take part in New Mexico’s William H. Tucker Invitational on Friday and Saturday. The competition will get far more stringent, as top-20 San Diego State travels to Albuquerque, among others. The tournament should give Edwards and his team an opportunity to see how they stack up against the best in intercollegiate golf.

Rounding out the fall season will be a trip to Fairfax, Calif., for the Alister Mackenzie Invitational. The spring season will start in February and conclude with conference and NCAA championships in late May into early June.

Acting skills gone missing

by Roger Moore

T

wilight alumnus Taylor Lautner makes his debut as a leading man in a film tailor-made for him.

Abduction puts Lautner in motion and never goes wrong as long as he remains in motion.

The buff teen werewolf of Twilight plays a young man who has his world upended and finds himself on the run when enemy agents attack his home and the people he knew as his parents aren’t who they say they are. In the opening minutes, we meet Nathan (Lautner), a studly wrestler in high school, constantly tested by his strict and martial dad ( Jason Isaacs), nurtured by his more understanding mom (Maria Bello).

If only they knew how he surfed on the hood of a pal’s pickup truck, how he gets blotto at teen beer busts. Dad finds out and punishes the kid with mixed martial arts training. No wonder the kid’s in therapy.

But a class project with his elusive, unavailable neighbor (Lily Collins) sends them to a missing-children website. That’s where they find a photo of toddler Nathan, reported as missing. And in asking about that, the teens trigger an explosion of revelations about Nathan’s past and a desperate escape that sends boy and girl on the lam, with no idea of who is after

I

’ll be honest, in the spirit of the honestly shameless heartwarmer Dolphin Tale. I saw it in a somewhat distracted, agitated state.

Forty-five seconds into the opening credits, I’m watching ocean-dwelling dolphins nosing around all sorts of potential dangers (a rusty fishing tackle box, a fateful metal crab trap), and the film’s in 3-D, so the dangers loom with exceptional emphasis, and the picture’s premise depends on putting the eventually tailless protagonist — a real-life dolphin, Winter, played by Winter — through all sorts of adversity alongside its human protectors.

But Dolphin Tale turns out to tell an interestingly crowded story. It’s rudimentary and even a little clumsy in its filmmaking technique, but there’s some narrative ambition, at least, in its inventions built upon the real-life rescue of Winter, who was no stranger to adversity and therefore destined for the movies.

The adversities affecting the sea and/or land mammals include: Dead or abandoning parents. Skillful, young Boulder Weekly

them or whom they can trust.

Nathan fights and struggles to outsmart the folks chasing him: Michael Nyqvist of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Alfred Molina. And Lautner, who came of age in the Twilight films, struggles to make his acting as effortless as his fights. As Nathan, he asks his mom, “Are you my mother?” Compare his stone-faced asking of the question with Bello’s rich, warm, alarmed way of playing the reaction: “You don’t understand, baby. It’s complicated.”

Director John Singleton is more concerned with the fights and chases than the human interplay

between his two attractive young leads. Collins, the future Snow White, manages moments of pathos: “Are we going to die, Nathan?”

Lautner remains impassive.

But the script and Singleton see to it that Molina’s performance delivers a light touch, and the younger players never let us lose the sense that we’re dealing with young people who don’t know how to process all this information that’s been thrown at them. Lautner seems in over his head because that’s the way Nathan should react.

With its violence, underage drinking, reckless behavior and profanity, Abduction falls in the same corner of the youth market as the Twilight movies. Some moments and many lines feel cribbed from that series.

And with a plot that most adults will stay a step or two ahead of, Abduction isn’t going to challenge anybody who has seen more than one on-the-lam picture.

But Lautner doesn’t embarrass himself. He may not play the tender moments like an old pro, but then again, neither have Arnold, Sly or Jason Statham.

handles a key scene well. A reunion between Kyle and Sawyer at the VA hospital reveals that Kyle’s in no shape to reintegrate with his family.

The encounter’s difficulty is respected by both the director and his actors. Later, unfortunately, there’s a bit between Kyle and the doctor specializing in prosthetics (Morgan Freeman). Because the Morgan Freeman character is played by Morgan Freeman, he is able to set Kyle straight and cure his psychological ills with just a bromide or two.

Digital fakery. Smith, working from the script by Karen Janszen and Noam Dromi, deploys a fair amount of digital dolphin action, more than I like as a moviegoer. There’s also strained comic-relief slapstick in a sequence involving Sawyer and Hazel flying, badly, a remote-controlled helicopter. Whatever. Kids’ electronic lives are crammed with so much second-rate action comedy, another minute or two won’t matter.

The cast includes Kris Kristofferson as the seafaring old salt of a grandpa. The acting has a nice, lowpressure vibe, in contrast to the film’s high-pressure peril. I haven’t mentioned the hurricane or the central financial question: Can Winter and friends save the marine hospital from closing?

by Michael Phillips Nathan Gamble plays Sawyer, a Clearwater, Fla., 11-year-old whose father took off five years earlier. The boy has been in a funk ever since. Ashley Judd plays his mother, exasperated at her son’s grades, worried about his well-being and initially wary of allowing him to spend time with the first real passion of his life. But she relents. The community young Sawyer finds at the cash-strapped Clearwater Marine Hospital is a warm and welcoming one. His new pal, Hazel, played by the sunny Cozi Zuehlsdorff, is the motherless daughter of the hospital director portrayed by Harry Connick Jr. Disability. Just as Winter must be taught to swim with a prosthetic tail, so, too, must Sawyer’s cousin Kyle (Austin Stowell) adjust to his body’s limitations after returning from service in Iraq with leg injuries.

This summer, the Boulder residents had an idea to take their chai out into the community with the hope that their drink could make an impact on bringing people together. The idea flourished, and Rachna Rawat and her husband Rajeev Rawat watched as their two children, Radhika, 19, and Rishi, 21, took their family recipe and formed Hanuman Chai.

The family knew that they wanted the company to be as authentic as possible. Their chai recipe comes from Rachna’s family and is four generations old.

made correctly.

“Our chai is made in small batches for the maximum flavor and maximum health benefit,” she says. “We want to keep the potency of the spices and the flavor.”

Hanuman Chai is made with a combination of black tea and karha, which is the herb and spice component. The proportion of spices used depends on the season. Rachna says that spices can have altered effects on the body in different seasons, because some spices have more of a warming or cooling effect than others. There are usually around seven or eight spices in Hanuman Chai, and the proportions of them are always changing to maximize the health benefits, she says.

Rob Quesenberry, owner of the three Vic’s Espresso locations in Boulder, was instantly sold when he tried Hanuman Chai after Rachna told him that she was unable to find good chai in the area.

He began selling it in all three of his shops and began strategizing ways to move the company forward.

“He has been a great mentor to us,” Rachna says.

Hanuman Chai also is sold at Lafayette’s Back to Basics Kitchen and at Cannon Mine Coffee. The chai can be bought in bulk at the locations either in a concentrate or dry form. Rajeev says that their chai has been selling rapidly online as well.

Rachna says that her dream is to have chai be a regular part of people’s lives. She envisions families having their own “chai times,” just as she has known her whole life. “[Chai] will be a change in the community because it connects people,” she says. “It gives time to have a moment to laugh and spend time with family and friends.”

Comfort food at Lulu’s

enerally, the newest local restaurants shy away from the excess frilliness of haute cuisine and instead towards venerable comfort foods. For the past year, gourmet pizza has been all the rage, and folks can’t seem to get enough of updated pies with artisan toppings and authentic Italian pedigrees. But when all’s said and done, it’s still pizza, and one suspects its appeal more than touches on deeply hard-wired appetites for soothing fare.

Similarly, there’s been a mini-explosion of barbecue, with Louisville’s LuLu’s being one of the most recent entrants dishing out this regional American specialty. Even the name LuLu’s suggests quaint comfort, evoking the lovable comic strip character Little Lulu. This welcoming spot on Louisville’s main drag trades up from mere rundown barbecue joint ambience. Chrome chairs and engine-turned tabletops add a touch of modernism that goes well with the folksy atmosphere, tinged with a hint of the Southwest.

Johnny Cash’s “The Ballad of Ira Hayes” was playing as pal Kuvy and I ventured in for dinner, and I found this appropriate for the setting — solidly American with a rustic edge. Same goes for the Texas-style menu, which features numerous meats that have been smoked 18 hours over oak. Selections include the predictably reassuring pulled pork and brisket, as well as chicken and ribs.

Plates featuring a choice of meat and two sides are just north of a 10-spot, and half-pound meat sandwiches are available for $9. There’s a kids plate for a modest $6, featuring a choice of sandwich, slider, kosher dog or mac and cheese, and there’s also $10 smoked tofu and $11 veggie kabobs on tap for the herbivore.

Sides here consist of tried-and-true choices, including beans, cole slaw and enough potato options to make one think Idaho is barbecue country.

Spudophiles can enjoy mashed potatoes, potato salad and sweet potato tots. Platters also come with a roll (actually more of a slider bun) and PPO, a satisfying relish of pickles, sport peppers and onion.

Clay’s Obscurity Corner There’s a Cure for that

S

peaking of new spots, Boulder’s longawaited Cured (1825 Pearl St., 720352-2321), is fast becoming a personal favorite. This shop, which offers wine, cheese, cured meats and other unique comestibles, serves a limited menu of first-rate sandwiches atop one of the best baguettes around. Sandwich examples include prosciutto paired with Western Slope peaches and garnished with fruity olive oil, as well as tomatorubbed baguette with Spanish Manchego cheese. Other intriguing items include goat milk caramels and an eggless aioli from Spain that’s a fine vegan condiment. Local organic produce is also available for making your own salads or veggie sandwiches.

Kuvy enjoyed a $13 platter featuring a flavorful half-rack of ribs that were properly tender and seasoned, possessing a pronounced but not overwhelming perfume of smoke. The corn on the cob side was less satisfying, with a softness indicative of overcooking.

Her side of beans was a straightforward affair: sweet, smoky and exactly what one would expect with decent barbecue.

I fared better with the sides accompanying my $12 beer can chicken dinner. The fried okra’s batter was hot and crisp, a nice contrast to this vegetable’s inherent slipperiness. One couldn’t complain about the mac and cheese either, which had the correct measure of creaminess and ideal doneness, a whisker past al dente. The

chicken itself was admirable, with a uniformly moist texture resulting from the steaming can of brew placed in the poultry’s cavity during the cooking process.

On balance, Lulu’s provides a decent barbecue experience, although the true connoisseur may find a quibble or two. A major issue was the fact that Lulu’s provides only one barbecue sauce variety. Sauce is one of the key elements in a barbecue experience, and sometimes one craves something sweeter or spicier than what a single choice offers. However, once this issue is addressed, there’ll be no question that LuLu’s provides a comfortingly solid barbecue option worthy of its Texas pedigree.

Boulder Weekly

Ale. 2011 marks the third season Boulder Beer Company has brewed Freshtracks with Colorado-grown hops. For this year’s Freshtracks, the Boulder Beer Company procured 450 pounds of Chinook hops from the Still Wind Hop Farm near Hotchkiss.

Freshtracks Wet-Hopped Copper Ale has a more robust fruitiness than Singletrack Copper Ale, with a very prominent citrus flavor. It’s a very bright beer with a pineapple-like aroma.

Freshtracks will be available in draft only in select areas of Colorado.

All kegs were presold this summer, brewed to order, and will be poured in bars and restaurants where specialty beers are served.

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.

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.

Available meats include pulled pork, pulled chicken and brisket. Both the pork and brisket are outstanding preparations, adroitly balancing spice, smoke and meatiness, while even a typically mundane side like BBQ beans becomes noteworthy once the Georgia boys have laid their hands on it.

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.

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 delectably moist lemon ricotta pancakes topped with blueberries, and outstanding chicken and waffles.

of chaotic stone like an unfinished sculpture, giving an effect of menace. When set against dark storm clouds, Pyramid Peak could easily be seen as the alpine fortress of an evil wizard. Perhaps that ominous aura is part of the allure of attaining its summit.

As far as fourteeners go, Pyramid is one of the more difficult peaks to climb, but is well within reach of experienced hikers who are comfortable with scrambling. The standard northeast ridge route is considered nontechnical, but requires good route-finding skills on unmarked terrain.

Depending on your navigational abilities, the least technical way to the top involves solid class 3 scrambling on good rock with the occasional class 4 move, so no ropes are needed. There are a few airy spots, but the exposure is limited, and if you happen to lose your way, the local population of mountain goats may just help you get back onroute. They are regulars on Pyramid’s upper reaches.

The geology of Pyramid Peak is consistent with other mountains in the Elk Range: lots of crumbly rock held loosely together by ancient and decomposing stone. Dark red clays and gravel are the remnants of an ancient tropical inland sea that was pushed skyward more than 70 million years ago.

Igneous intrusions produced granodiorite (a volcanically formed rock similar to granite) and pushed up quartz beds.

The resulting mountain is a combination of solid sections offset by rotten gullies. Testing every handhold is essential to not pop prehistoric stones out of their sockets.

And yet, despite all the natural madness on its chossy slopes, Pyramid is a delight to climb, and not just for masochists. Starting from the Maroon Lake Trailhead, the standard route begins in a dense grove of aspen trees, with the glorious Maroon Bells in the background. A short distance along the trail, an

easy-to-miss (especially in the predawn hours) cairn signals your last steps on a well-maintained path.

Winding up to treeline, the trail eventually becomes a mere suggestion. Several well-meaning cairns can serve to confuse as much as to guide.

Breaking out of timberline brings you to the amphitheater, a dark bowl that leads to the access gulley to Pyramid’s exciting ridgeline. Once in the gully, a relentless but somewhat enjoyable hike brings you to the coup de grace: the magical summit ridge.

The aforementioned mountain goats are a curious lot, and many climbers have reported being “escorted” to the top by the dexterous ungulates.

As the route unfolds, the scrambling is more solid and enjoyable than it looks at first glance. There are a few sections of gutsy moves, including an off-camber “leap of faith” across a small gap and a class 4 push up the green gully, a stack of whitish-green rock with good hand- and footholds. After zig-zagging through rock towers and ledges, the final ascent to the top is a breathtaking experience.

The nearly flat and accommodating summit offers impressive views of the Maroon Bells, as well as stunning vistas of the lower Elk Range Peaks. An autumn climb is especially rewarding, as golden tracts of aspen color the lower valleys and a dusting of snow highlights the shadowy inset rock bands on nearby mountains. Don’t be surprised if one of the enterprising mountain goats follows you all the way to the apex of Pyramid Peak.

If you decide to climb Pyramid, be certain to bring along a helmet and leave your dog at home (sorry, Fido).

Ropes are discouraged, as they can actually increase rock fall and make for more dangerous conditions. The scrambling is at times exposed but never desperate, though good routefinding skills are essential (websites such as 14ers.com and summitpost.org are excellent resources for maps and route descriptions). An early start is required. Even though the standard northeast ridge is only about eight miles round trip, the climb can easily take seven to 10 hours. Leaving no later than 4 a.m., ideally on a weekday, will stack the odds in your favor.

Pyramid Peak is a scrambler’s delight and, despite an intimidating presence from a distance, it is truly one of the most fun and beautiful 14ers in Colorado. The summit is in reach for peak-baggers who like route-finding and don’t mind the occasional patch of exposure. And if you go, please say hi to the mountain goats for me.

Boulder Weekly

astrology boulderweekly.com/astrology ARIES

March 21-April 19:

I’ve got a challenging assignment for you. In accordance with your current astrological omens, I am inviting you to cultivate a special kind of receptivity — a rigorously innocent openness to experience that will allow you to be penetrated by life’s beauty with sublime intensity. To understand the exact nature of this receptivity, study Abraham Maslow’s definition of real listening: to listen “without presupposing, classifying, improving, controverting, evaluating, approving or disapproving, without dueling what is being said, without rehearsing the rebuttal in advance, without free-associating to portions of what is being said so that succeeding portions are not heard at all.”

TAURUS

April 20-May 20:

Government officials in Southern Sudan are proposing to build cities in fantastic shapes. They say that the regional capital of Juba would be recreated to resemble a rhinoceros, as seen from the air. The town of Yambio is destined to look like a pineapple and the city of Wau will be a giraffe. I’m confused by all this, since I know that most of the people in South Sudan live on less than a dollar a day. Is that really how they want their country’s wealth spent? Please consider the possibility, Taurus, that there are also some misplaced priorities in your own sphere right now. Hopefully they’re nothing on the scale of what’s happening in South Sudan, but still: Allocate your resources with high discernment, please.

GEMINI

May 21-June 20:

You have cosmic clearance to fall deeply, madly, and frequently in love, Gemini. In fact, it’s OK with the gods of fate and the angels of karma if you swell up with a flood of infatuation and longing big enough to engorge an entire city block. The only stipulation those gods and angels insist on is that you do not make any rash decisions or huge life changes while in the throes of this stupendous vortex. Don’t quit your job, for instance, or sell all your belongings, or dump your temporarily out-of-favor friends and loved ones.

For the foreseeable future, simply enjoy being enthralled by the lush sexy glory of the liquid blue fire.

CANCER June 21-July 22:

Among the surprises spilled by WikiLeaks some months back was the revelation that U.S. diplomats think Canadians feel “condemned to always play ‘Robin’ to the U.S. ‘Batman.’”

If that’s true, it shouldn’t be. While Canada may not be able to rival the war-mongering, plutocrat-coddling, environment-despoiling talents of my home country America, it is a more reliable source of reason, compassion and civility.

Are you suffering from a similar disjunction, Cancerian?

Do you imagine yourself “Robin” in relationship to some overweening “Batman”? This would be an excellent time to free yourself of that dynamic.

LEO

July 23-Aug. 22:

“Enigmatology” is an infrequently used word that means the study of puzzles and how to solve them. I’m invoking it now to highlight the fact that you need to call on some unusual and idiosyncratic and possibly even farfetched resources as you intensify your efforts to solve the puzzles that are spread out before you. The help you’ve called on in the past just won’t be enough for this new round of gamesmanship. The theories and beliefs and strategies that have brought you this far can’t take you to the next stage.

VIRGO

Aug. 23-Sept. 22:

This would not be a good time for you to read the book called The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Enhancing Self-Esteem.

In fact, it will never be the right time to read it. While it’s true that at this juncture in your life story you can make exceptional progress in boosting your confidence and feeling positive about yourself, you’re not an idiot and you don’t need idiot-level assistance. If there was a book called The Impish Guide to Accessing and Expressing Your Idiosyncratic Genius, I’d definitely recommend it. Likewise a book titled The Wild-Eyed Guide to Activating Your Half-Dormant Potential or The Brilliant Life-Lover’s Guide to Becoming a Brilliant Life-Lover.

LIBRA

Sept. 23-Oct. 22:

“When I was born,” said comedian Gracie Allen, “I was so surprised I didn’t talk for a year and a half.” I suspect you

Boulder Weekly

will soon be experiencing a metaphorical rebirth that has some of the power of the event she was referring to. And so I won’t be shocked if you find it challenging to formulate an articulate response, at least in the short term. In fact, it may take you a while to even register, let alone express, the full impact of the upgrade you will be blessed with.

SCORPIO Oct. 23-Nov. 21:

“During a game of Apocalypse against the Witchhunters,” reports Andrew_88 in an online forum, “I authorized my Chaos Lord to throw his vortex grenade at the oncoming Cannoness and her bodyguard. Safe to say he fluffed it, and the vortex grenade scattered back on top of him. Then he proceeded to take out my allies, the Havocs, Land Raider, and Baneblade, before disappearing, having done no damage to my opponent.” I suggest you regard this as a helpful lesson to guide your own actions in the coming days, Scorpio.

Do not, under any circumstances, unleash your Chaos Lord or let him throw his vortex grenade at anyone. He could damage your own interests more than those of your adversaries.

SAGITTARIUS Nov. 22-Dec. 21:

According to my analysis of the astrological omens, it’s high time for you to receive a flood of presents, compliments, rewards and blessings. You got a problem with that? I hope not. I hope you are at peace with the fact that you deserve more than your usual share of recognition, appreciation, flirtations and shortcuts. Please, Sagittarius? Please don’t let your chronic struggles or your cynical views of the state of the world blind you to the sudden, massive influx of luck.

Pretty please open your tough heart and skeptical mind to the bounty that the universe is aching to send your way.

CAPRICORN Dec. 22-Jan. 19:

I like how astrologer Hunter Reynolds encapsulates the Capricornian imperative. If you “can manage your ego’s erratic moods and uneven motivations well enough to offer a service with consistent quality,” he says, “the world confers social recognition and its accompanying material advantages on you.” The members of other signs may appear warmer and fuzzier than you, but only because you express your care for people through a “strictness of focus,” “disciplined work,” and by being a “dependable helpmate.” This describes you at your best, of course; it’s not easy to meet such high standards. But here’s the good news: The omens suggest you now have an excellent opportunity to function at your very best.

AQUARIUS Jan. 20-Feb. 18:

“Not being omniscient is a really big drag for me,” says poet Charles Harper Webb. I sympathize with him. My life would be so much easier and my power would be so much more graceful if only I knew everything there is to know. That’s why I’m going to be a little jealous of you in the coming weeks, Aquarius. You may not be supremely authoritative about every single subject, but you will have access to far more intuitive wisdom than usual, and you’ll be making extra good use of the analytical understandings you have. Bonus: You will also be absorbing new lessons at an elevated rate.

PISCES

Feb. 19-March 20:

John Tyler was president of the United States from 1841 to 1845. Believe it or not, two of his grandsons are still alive today. They’re Lyon Gardiner Tyler and Harrison Ruffin Tyler, born late in the life of their father, who was born late in John Tyler’s life. I invite you to find some equally amazing connection you have to the past, Pisces. How is your destiny linked to the long ago and faraway? I suspect you might find that distant history will be more vital and important than usual in the coming weeks.
