Grand Valley Matters... Silo—Can You Go?

They have been a fixture of the downtown Grand Junction skyline for about as long as anyone from these parts can remember—four massive 85-foot-tall silo structures, 16 feet in diameter, (partnered for a number of years with stout rectangular silos, as well)—south of Main Street on Seventh. And, for five score and some years, these silos have been part of important economic activity and development in the Grand Valley. Even surviving a massive 1974 blaze that destroyed much of the surrounding area—in fact, reports of seeing smoke from as far south as Delta have surfaced in the years since—the silos still stand, serving as a landmark to a time long past in Western Colorado. For eons, the property operated as a feed mill, until the Mad Cow scare of 2003 tightened restrictions on the handling and treatment of feeds. With new feed handling regulations, the local feed mill business became cost prohibitive; the silos emptied, the warehouse went dark. A new business was born from those ashes—a specialty fish food manufacturing business. The business was unpopular locally for the aroma-pollution it created, and transportation and material costs swallowed any profitability. The

aquaculture business failed; and, by the late 2000’s, the future of the longstanding property on South Seventh Street was very much in doubt. In January of 2014, Grand Junction native Joe White and wife Mita purchased the 27,000+-square-foot property with a very different vi-

sion in mind… And Get Air at the Silo was born. The vision for an inter-connected trampoline park began in Chile when Joe, an alum of Colorado School of Mines, wanted out of the cyclical nature of the oil and gas work that had taken him from Colorado to South Africa,

The memory and potential of those silos, (the property was owned for many decades by White’s father, and Joe had spent much of his youth there) fueled by the imagination and intention of the Whites, led to the realization of an opportunity unlike any other within hundreds of miles. Get Air at the Silo is a scalable, world-class trampoline park, complete with bouldering and climbing opportunities, bounce-houses, and parkour training. Get Air features

over 20,000-square-feet of floorto-wall indoor trampolines with delayed-view recording cameras to make sure your friends see all your sick moves; a dodge ball area with angled sides that will lend to a game experience unlike anything else for groups of friends, school

and church youth groups or even the solo practitioner looking for a pickup game. And just wait until you can teach Lebron James some of your dunk skills acquired from playing in the air-jam basketball area. Plus, not failing to mention the 1,600-square-foot studio that Mita, a Pilates instructor, fashioned into one of the Grand Valley’s only Pilates studios—Better Bodies at the Silo—which also houses yoga and Zumba classes. Future upgrades will include retrofitting those century-old iconic silos into an unmatched indoor and outdoor rock wall climbing experience and the addition of an America-Ninja-Warrior-style obstacle course. Energy efficiency features of the facility included infrared heating over forced air, swamp-cooled air over air conditioning and improved insulation throughout. Vending machines will provide refreshments, and birthday parties are privy to a special pizza partnership with Junction Square. For the majority of folks, $12 gets you a 90-minute jump session. For the smaller and shorter kids, a special bounce-house section carries a lower admission price. As I write this, the renovations and remodeling work of the property are nearly complete. Get Air’s scheduled opening was set for the last weekend in April, so barring any setbacks, the park is now open. Clearly, a one-of-a-kind exercise and entertainment experience in the Grand Valley, Get Air at the Silo and Better Bodies at the Silo

offer adults and children a muchneeded energy release and play opportunity. Get Air at the Silo is located at 714 S. Seventh Street across from the Daily Sentinel building.

Violet Ashlock, 23, Server at Olive Garden “I would definitely travel to Europe! Paris and Italy would be my first stops. Paris would be, because I’m a  hopeless romantic. Kissing an English-speaking, European boy with an accent under the Eiffel Tower sounds so magical. And think about a little cottage in Italy, with fresh-squeezed wine every day, giant windows with white drapes; just enjoying the breeze in my hair, and my feet kicked up.” Mike Barnhill, 36, Mechanic for Mesa County “I would go to Morocco! It has the most beautiful view of  the ocean. I might also go to Paris, for the French bread and fresh wine, as well.”

Craig Long, 52, Entrepreneur “In my kitchen hangs a solid silver Celtic Cross that came from Ireland, handed down to me by my mother. I would like to travel to Dublin, Ireland, where my mother and  her family’s name came from—it would just be nice to visit my home.”

May is the happy harbinger of summer downtown, with new life, new art, new events and activities—and more reasons than ever to come on downtown and be a part of it all. We think you’ll be glad you did! May 3 was the formal installation day for new art pieces in Grand Junction’s Art on the Corner collection. Some pieces in the collection will become favorites of Main Street strollers; others will be discussed and critiqued and win awards; some will be bought out-

right; some others will be hauled off after a year here to some new destination; and some few others will find their way into the city’s permanent collection. Do yourself (and your metabolism) a favor and come downtown to visit the new— and the enduring—sculptures. Be sure to check out the Art & Music Festival on Main Street this weekend. There is a great lineup of Free music, along with vendors, beer, food & fun. The Downtown Farmers Market Festival begins June 12 and runs

Thursday, June 12 is the day of June’s full moon, an auspicious way to begin partaking in the Valley’s prolific growing season—and to hear good music, meet old friends and make some new ones. For more info, call 245-9697. And don’t forget Fruita and Palisade both host weekly Farmers Market through the long summer. Fruita’s runs Saturdays June 28-September 20, 8:30am-12:30pm, on the Civic Center lawn at 325 E. Aspen Avenue. Get more info on this one by calling the Fruita Area Chamber of Commerce, 858-3894. Palisade’s Farmers Market happens on Sundays, June 15-September 21, 10am-20pm, in downtown Palisade. And the fare here is all directly from local Palisade growers. There’s also food, art, music, winery tours and close-in parking. In other years, and, we assume, in this year, Teller Arms Shopping Center, on North Avenue at 28 Road, also hosts a large Farmers Market on Wednesdays and Saturdays, 7am-noon. Info on this one from the Web is dated, but it is billed—and deservedly so—as the Valley’s longest-running farmers market. May you all have yourselves a merry summer—and let it begin in May!

Each Symphony Storytime concludes with the Instrument Petting Zoo,  another Grand  Junction Symphony education initiative that gives children the opportunity to hold and try to produce a sound on several different orchestral instruments. Presentations were held in  the fall of 2013  and spring of 2014 focusing on  string instruments and brass and woodwinds and percussion, respectively. Through the generous funding by the Bessie Minor Swift Foundation, the GJSO is not only looking to expand the number of presentations offered during the year but will explore opportunities to visit other Library  branches and involve more musicians at each presentation. The Bessie Minor Swift Foundation awards grants to programs that provide direct service to help with the implementation or expansion of literacy programs for children who are below grade level or experiencing difficulty reading; to develop reading and writing skills at all age levels; and to develop programs in the arts, languages and STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) for preschool, primary and secondary school-aged students. The GJSO thanks the Bessie Minor  Swift Foundation for this generous gift and acknowledges the  support of Bill & Betsy Brodak and the Mesa County Public Libraries. Additional thanks to the GJSO Guild for their support of numerous educational programs, including the Instrument Petting Zoo.

DOWNTOWN EALING

A Very English Lady, Marigold Hoare, 80… and Tea Dances Editor’s Note: This entry comes from Jeffery Taylor, resident of Ealing, London, England, former dancer and currently dance critic and arts feature writer of the Sunday Express and Vice-President of the British Critics’ Circle. By Jeffery Taylor, our man in the UK First through the doors last Tuesday at London’s Royal Opera House for the first of this season’s Tea Dances was Miss Marigold Hoare, 80, retired Women’s Royal Naval Service Wren No 92092. As well as being a keen ballroom dancer, Marigold is clearly proud of her Navy career and carrying on a family tradition. “We have at least one admiral in the family, so it was my duty, really. Marigold was 18 when she joined her beloved Wrens, leaving behind her sheltered background of private schools, places in the country, and doing good works. “Thank goodness I missed Coming Out as a debutante,” she says. “My coming out was in the Sergeant’s Mess,” she boasts. Instead of the social whirl, Marigold discovered a world to be proud of. “Yes,” she says, “I was proud to serve King and country.” Marigold’s first day of military life, stationed at Mill Hill training depot, was anything but heroic. “It was a bit of a shock finding oneself on one’s knees with a scrubbing

brush in your hand. I’d never held a scrubbing brush before. I thought I was going to sea, but scrubbing came first. A lot of girls of my generation,” she points out, “looked on the services as a liberation. Imagine the giddy delights of a girl from a conventional household, where meals were strictly timed, of going to the mess at three in the afternoon and ordering baked beans on toast. It was amazing.” Standing in the Royal Opera House’s Floral Hall, watching one of the popular afternoon tea dances held during the summer, the memories flood back. “The highlight of those early days was the liberty boats that took us to twice-weekly dances,” she remembers. “In London it would be the Café de Paris or the Ritz Hotel, but usually it was village halls or aerodromes.” But the discipline of a strict upbringing ran through Marigold. Service life has become synonymous with a sexual free-for-all, but not for Marigold. “Our romances,” she recalls, “were very harmless; pregnant girls, called ‘used empties’ were shipped out, but it all rather went over our heads. I remember a petty officer walked me home to the Wrennery and asked for a kiss good night. I replied certainly not and turned on my heel highly insulted. And—can you imagine—most of us at 18 had

never drunk alcohol except for a glass of claret on birthdays. It was the way we were brought, all that tradition meant a lot to us. Those social conventions glued society together in those days. It’s all gone now.” And Marigold’s stories of life in uniform all have the giddy innocence of an Ealing comedy. “In Ceylon,” she recalls, “a tree branch reached over the wall from our cabin to the road, and after a dance we girls scampered back to the Wrennery to be counted in at lights [out]. We huddled in bed in our fancy clothes and said ‘goodnight, Ma’am.’ Then maybe 20 of us tiptoed out again single file in our finery and high heels out of the window, along the tree branch, and into the arms of waiting admirals, brigadiers and generals, in their rickshaws, all helping us Wrens to break the rules.” On another occasion, Marigold remembers the 1940s version of skinny-dipping in the Indian Ocean, she in her petticoat, he in his underpants. “When we finished our swim, we discovered all our clothes were stolen,” she says. “I had to walk back to the Wrennery, surrounded by wise-cracking male ratings. It was one of the worst moments of my life. A young woman feels remarkably defenceless in a wet petticoat.” And at that point, an elderly male hand was extended her way, which she eagerly grasped, and she elegantly waltzed away from me, a free spirit, as always.

Eating at work can be such a pain. Do you take something that can be eaten cold; do you risk your food being stolen from the community fridge; do you eat processed food that may last a decade without spoiling? I do not go out to lunch very often, because I typically bring leftovers. However, there has been an occasion that I was planning to leave the office, and my plans were thwarted by those who sign my check—what to do? Vending machine?

by Gayle Meyer The Day Vinny Kicked Butt

I sat at the dinner table one evening, instructing youngest son Vin, then a Kindergartner we called ‘Vinny,’ on the rudiments of eating rice with a fork. For the first time in my checkered culinary career, the rice actually had fluffed, and flurries fell from every forkful Vinny raised to his mouth. I gave up and got up to get him a spoon. It was then I heard Vinny say, “I got cut today.” I didn’t panic. Most of Vinny’s cuts had to be examined by electron microscope to be appreciated, and I was sure his comment was just one more bid for a Band-aid.

“You got cut today?” I asked. “No-o-o,” Vinny frowned. “I said: I kicked butt today.” My own forkful of rice settled like a skiff of snow in my lap. “You what?” “I kicked butt.” “He did, Mom!” Newt, then about eight, interjected. “This second grader at the bus stop shoved him really hard in the head, and Vinny slugged him.” Basking in this sudden, uncharacteristic praise from his older brother, Vinny flashed me a bright smile and pushed both open palms toward the ceiling in the timeless gesture that translates to “Yup, I did it!” “All right, Vinny!” Dev, then

Dear TSA, Hi, it’s me again. I’ve contacted you so many times in the past that I suspect you have some sort of file on me by now. I hope this file also contains all the harmless stuff that you’ve confiscated from me over the years. And I don’t mean an itemized, written record of the stuff—I mean the actual stuff. I’d like that really expensive bottle of hot sauce back some day. Anyway, I’m happy to see you in the news once again, as I know how frustrating it can be when nobody is noticing you. As Oscar Wilde said, “There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.” Mr. Wilde also once said, while coming through customs: “I have nothing to declare but my own genius.” Funny how that sort of comment made today would probably get you hustled away to a detention center somewhere, but that’s a topic for another day. Today I want to tell you a story about the time I went to watch the sheepdog trials in my home state of Colorado. I know that sounds like a random transition, but stay with me. Now, I don’t really know anything about sheep or sheepdogs or the art of sheep-dogging, but it just seemed like it might be something interesting to do. I was watching the action from the bleachers, the “action” being a guy making a dog run around a bunch of sheep in a field. It really is pretty amazing to watch, though I was clearly missing some of the nuances, as other spectators routinely applauded at moments I wasn’t aware were applause-worthy. However, there was one moment that I understood perfectly. Right in front of the bleachers was the pen full of sheep waiting to be carted out into the far end of the field. There was a guy standing next to the gate—I’ll call him Roy—whose job it was to keep the sheep inside the gate. That was, as far as I could tell, his only

job. When the truck would come for more sheep, he’d open the gate to let them out, then close it when he was done, then stand there and wait to do it all again. At one point, Roy failed to close the gate properly, and the sheep just came pouring onto the field—the field where the actual competition was going on. Everything ground to a halt, and the stray sheep had to be herded back into the pen. People applauded. I suspect Roy was given a bit of a talking to after that. BOSS: Roy, what did we tell you about letting the sheep run onto the field? ROY: Uh…either that I’m supposed to, or not supposed to. Remind me again. The rest of the competition continued without incident, but for me it never matched the excitement of the errant sheep flowing onto the field. See where I’m headed with this? You, TSA, you are like Roy. Your one and only job is to keep the gate shut. I know you sometimes get distracted by other things, like confiscating breast milk and toothpaste and running your hand along the inside of people’s waistbands; but keeping people from crawling into wheel wells before takeoff needs to make its way back up your priority list. Sure, we all got off lucky with this one, but what if that stowaway kid had had a bottle of water with him? Or more than 3 ounces of roll-on deodorant? Or a snow globe? I realize that soon TSA regulations will be altered such that passengers will not be allowed to bring any checked or carry-on luggage, no personal items, no shoes, jackets or pants, no shirts or undergarments, no corrective lenses, no hair, fingernails or teeth. I know you anticipate the day when passengers will be stripped, shaved and hosed down before being cattle-prodded onto their awaiting planes, but until that dream is a reality for you, you really need to learn a lesson from Roy’s misfortune. Focus, people… focus. As Oscar Wilde once said, “There are only two great tragedies in life: one is getting what you do not want, and the other is…hey… ow…put me down…hey, where are you taking me!?”

He had to.” “But you’re his big brother. You were at the bus stop, Newt,” I pointed out. “Why didn’t you stop the kid?” “I would’ve, but Vinny didn’t need me to,” Newt shrugged. “Can I have the rest of the cottage cheese?” I never even got to my turn-theother-cheek speech.

By Lyle Stout • [email protected] Eveybody’s Goin’ Surfing, Surfing NSA A few nights ago, I decided to do a little poking around on the Internet. The Internet offers a wealth of information and disinformation, and there was a day when I would sit in my office at home and just go from link to link, reading bits of information, opinions and virtual garbage that individuals and groups put up for consumption. Now, when I decide to poke around, I go get the old, anonymous laptop I bought at a yard sale. I put it in my car and cruise around distant neighborhoods until I find an unprotected wifi network to connect to. I never sign on from my house because it has been revealed

that every keystroke you make and every site you visit is now saved in the NSA’s database, and your Internet connection is traceable by any number of police and federal entities right back to the very home you used to think was yours. Let’s face it, part of the fun of just poking around was to look at bizarre sites that exist, but random links sometimes took you to places you wouldn’t tell your friends and family you’ve visited. I remember one night I stumbled onto a site where liberal editors of daily local newspapers were sharing pictures of their cats. They had all shaved the cats, and there were a number of pictures of the tiny naked animals being cuddled by overweight men in polka dot Speedos. I didn’t spend much time there, no more than that site where white supremacists with

Sticking it to the Man: Cliven Bundy By Scott Wolford very bad lawyers at the time, or they knew something was wrong. Some legal scholars postulate that the BLM failed to file because they knew Bundy had “prescriptive rights.” If a trespass occurs regularly for at least five years without the owner executing legal action, prescriptive rights allow the trespasser to use the land. Besides common law, the Constitution makes it pretty clear that states own land. Article IV, Section 3, Clause 2 of the Constitution, known as the Property Clause, states, “The Congress shall have Power to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property belonging to the United States….” The Property Clause delegated federal control over territorial lands up until the point when that land formed as a state. From the moment of statehood, the land is considered property of the sovereign state. Some legal scholars believe that, if Bundy’s case was tried in state court, the outcome may have been very different. To me, as a Westerner, this Bundy case is especially disturbing. Never mind the heavy-handed military tactics. And never mind the disregard for the Constitution. What bothers me the most about this case is the inequality. Having our lands subject to Federal oversight, while Eastern states have no such burden, is profoundly unfair; and it fosters a feeling of secondclass citizenship. Because Eastern states’ territory is sovereign, they collect much higher property tax revenue to fund their schools. Meanwhile, it’s increasingly difficult for Westerners to compete economically, because our schools are not competitively funded, we have to PAY an outsider to use our lands, and we have to expend extra resources to engage an extra layer of government. The big-government, big-corporation oligarchy is out of control. Luckily, there’s increasing political support to transfer federal public lands to state ownership. In January 2014, the Republican National Committee unanimously passed a resolution to repatriate public lands in the Republican Party platform. Five Western states, led by Utah, have passed laws demanding the United States extinguish title to federal lands and

the United States, so that our agencies can’t continue to spy on them. Every major totalitarian government censors the Internet, and our government tracks every keystroke of every computer connected to the Internet. They don’t actually censor it, but they make it known that every site you visit, every email you send, every word you type, is stored to be used against whomever they choose. So, if the feds show up at your house and question you about your visit to an Arabic jihad site, or if the IRS chooses to audit you after it discovers you visited Alex Jones’ prisonplanet.com, it’s your own fault. You should have read the instruction when you put in wifi to run Netflix on that new Blue Ray player. It would have told you how to put in a password to keep me from connecting through your network as I slunk through your neighborhood, quietly surfing in the anonymity that used to be available to everyone.

Scott was born and raised in Grand Junction. After graduating from Central High School in 1984, he attended Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University on an Air Force ROTC scholarship, earning a BS in aeronautical engineering in 1989. He served 20 years in the Air Force, having assignments in intelligence, laboratory research, F-117A and B-2 flight line maintenance, and combat tactics development. His recent civilian experience includes manufacturing Tomahawk cruise missiles with Raytheon and airplane structural and antenna design with Northrop Grumman. Scott is retired and is back living in Grand Junction. He’s currently serving on the Grand Junction Historical Preservation Board. Our “Stick it to the Man” hero of the month is Cliven Bundy. Bundy runs a cattle ranch near Bunkerville, Nevada. A few weeks ago, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) forcibly removed Bundy’s cattle and almost triggered a civil war. The story is still unfolding at the time of this writing, so we’re not certain how it’s going to end; but some say this story is going to become American legend, like John Brown’s invasion of Harper’s Ferry in 1859. Bundy is the very definition of civil disobedience. Because he was so disgusted with the BLM’s attitude of “pay us so we can hassle you better,” he stopped paying grazing fees some 20 years ago. The BLM sued him in Federal court and won. Rather than placing a lien on his property, the Feds stormed in with helicopters and hundreds of soldiers with rifles and body armor, killed and buried numerous cows and forcibly hauled off the rest. The destructive, heavy-handed tactics were completely out of proportion with Bundy’s alleged crime. What is legal and what isn’t are far from clear in this case. Yes, Bundy had his day in court and lost. But another similar case recently tried found in favor of the rancher, and the judged referred the BLM actors to the Justice Department for suspicion of conspiracy. Also, why didn’t the BLM file a lien on Bundy’s personal property? This is very bizarre. Either the BLM had

turn them over to state ownership. (This type of legislation was the mechanism North Dakota used in the 1890s to obtain their land after statehood.) Although Cliven Bundy is our hero this month, the issue is far bigger than one rancher in Nevada. The public lands issue has been festering for over 100 years and needs to be resolved. To fight “the man” back East, and to restore East-West equality, your assignment is to stay informed and vote as a Westerner. Watch closely Utah’s story. And get involved with the American Lands Council, a grassroots organization dedicated to reclaiming land belonging to the states. In the next election, make sure you vote OUT Mark Udall. (Democrats are opposed to public lands transfer.) I’m a firm believer that eventually the moral high ground of the Constitution will win out, and Western states will reclaim their public lands. But we have to fight for it at the ballot box.

The Snowden leaks have shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Internet is now a superhighway that actually ends at the government and its agencies. Anyone who pokes around it at random should start doing chinups every night to build a few muscles to protect themselves in jail. Beat someone up real quickly to show them you are tough, and the other political prisoners might leave you alone… you know the drill. If someone had told me ten years ago that I would be witness to both the birth and death of the Internet, I might have laughed at them, but the end of the Internet is now in sight. With the revelations made by Edward Snowden, all the claims that Chinese hackers were destroying the free fabric of the Internet are obviously just smoke. Our government, through the NSA, was the hacker all along; and now every government around the world sees the United States as their Internet enemy. Brazil is in talks with European governments to lay the groundwork for a new transatlantic communication cable system that would exclude

swastikas tattooed on their faces were advocating the overthrow of pretty much everything, and there was a link from that site to a site in Arabic where other maniacs were raising their guns and screaming at God, or Allah, or the western world. If I’d read the captions, probably the supremacists didn’t like the site in Arabic, but they somehow seem like flip sides of the same strange coin. I poked a link on the Arabic site and suddenly I was in the Frederick’s of Tehran Web page with their selection of slightly less opaque veils for racy Iranian women. The point is, I had no affiliation with either the fanatics in their Speedos or the ones with swastikas on their foreheads, but my Internet connection, with its unique number that can easily be traced back to my little office and ultimately to me, had visited both Web sites. There was now a record in the vaults of the NSA to be used by the administration if they ever needed it. I was on record affiliating with fringers on both sides of the political spectrum by visiting the sites. No matter who comes into power, I could be in trouble.

Bollan’s Briefs The New Science of Climate Change

By Jack Bollan • [email protected] In 2014, it would be an indication of ignorance to say that global climate change is not happening, that carbon emissions are not causing it, or that humans are not the primary source of those emissions. A recent study by the American Association for the Advancement of Science and a recent report by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change leave little wiggle room. A number of the changes predicted by the theory of global warming are happening, including melting arctic ice, unusual weather extremes and significant impacts on plant and animal life. When a scientific theory gains this level of consensus among scientists and when its predictions prove to be this accurate, we cannot turn our heads and pretend we are dealing with a Harold Camping or the numerous other Doomsday crackpots. It would be, in fact, a case of ignorance not to know that the recent studies are notable for admitting that they cannot predict that global climate change entails apocalypse. For sure, among environmental scientists are those who believe that global climate change will have catastrophic impacts on life on Earth. On the opposite pole, however, are scientists who believe Earth will easily survive global climate change with impacts only slightly beyond those that are cur-

2014

rently being observed. “Average” climate scientists fall somewhere between these extremes in terms of how they interpret what climate models tell them will happen. They recognize the complexity of Earth’s climate and limitations on what can be know about future technologies or other systemic compensatory climate changes not included in existing climate models. These scientists make clear that differences between predicted and observed values of measurements of the parameters used by their models result in a one-in-twenty chance they may be wrong, which means there’s a 95% chance they are right. These moderate scientists dominate the current discussion in the scientific and political domains. But among these moderates, the consensus is that we are quickly coming upon a point of no return, where reversing the impacts of climate change is impossible with existing technology, and that developing technology that would reverse the effects will be more costly than taking action now. The United Nations study says that we must reduce carbon emissions by 20% in the next decade to avoid the extreme possibilities implied by the ecosystem changes already being observed. For example, we have not yet seen rising oceans inundate coastal areas. If we don’t stop, however, we will

see such effects. The result, at best, will be costly. Recognizing the political and economic hardship implied by a 20% worldwide reduction in carbon-based energy sources, the report merely points out that we can deal now or put it off to be dealt with a little later with much higher costs. That is reasonable cost-tobenefit thinking without apocalyptic language. Sensitive to political realities and a population that has not studied the science in great detail, the argument is a familiar one. That argument goes like this: We are certain that global climate change is happening and caused by carbon emissions, the result of human actions. The predicted consequences are underway, including global average temperature increases, melting arctic ice, unusual weather extremes and dramatic impacts on plant and animal species. When the average worldwide temperature change has reached 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit above pre-industrial temperature averages, we will have reached a critical threshold, with consequences that can only be reversed by technology that does not currently exist. Corrective actions, if we pass that point, will have far greater economic impacts than if we take action now. Furthermore, it is possible that impacts will be irreversible and catastrophic. Therefore, it is in the best interest of everyone to take action now. Sometimes this type of argument has no effect. People ignore the warnings because the source is dubious, the changes too gradual to be observed or the arguments unreasonable, practically, morally or politically. But that is not the case here. The argument is being made by groups that are intellectually honest, morally upright and politically and economically savvy. We need to listen.

One year ago, when I attended an outdoor craft fair. I saw the product demonstrated, tried a free sample and bought a tube. The next day, I went back and told them the product was incredible and I wanted to know how I could sell it. What type of pain were you dealing with? I have osteo and rheumatoid arthritis, disc degeneration, spinal stenosis, sciatica, and peripheral neuropathy plus joint replacements in both hips and one knee. How long have you had a booth set up at The Grand Junction Flea Market & Swap Meet? I’ve been here for 2 1/2 months. I just moved here 3 months ago from near Las Vegas, and I had a booth at an indoor swap meet there, so knew I wanted to set up before I even moved here. How has the response been to the product? Fantastic! People have not heard about the product, but once they try it and get almost immediate relief, they are so excited. What are the benefits a person will get from using this product? Real Time Pain Relief actually has 3 different products now—rub-on lotion, foot cream for diabetics, and a brand new skin rescue ointment— so the specific benefits will vary, depending upon their individual pain. Generally speaking, the  benefits would be  not harming their body by taking oral medications; not masking pain; using an all-natural product; using a product made in the USA in an FDA-inspected facility; and helping the body heal itself. What has been the #1 testimonial you’ve heard from a person who has bought the product? “This stuff works too good! My pain is gone.” You can sample Kris  Fancher’s Pain Relief products at The Grand Junction Flea Market & Swap Meet at 515 S. 7th Street. Open Fridays— Sundays. More info at www.FeelingPainFree.com

International superstar, accomplished businessman and heartfelt philanthropist, Vince Neil came to exemplify all things rock and roll: the sound, the success, the look and the outrageous lifestyle. Vince’s unmistakable voice leads some of the greatest rock songs of this generation including “Shout

At The Devil,” “Home Sweet Home,” “Girls, Girls, Girls,” “Dr. Feelgood,” “Kickstart My Heart,” “Same Ol Situation,” and the recent “Saints of Los Angeles,” which was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2009 for Best

Hard Rock Performance. With fifteen years between his last solo album, Vince Neil releases Tattoos & Tequila on June 22, followed by his tell all book of the same name later in the fall. When not performing, Vince Neil continues to expand and oversee his latest entrepreneurial efforts which include Feelgoods Rock Bar and Grill in West Palm Beach and Las Vegas; Vince Neil Ink, a Las Vegas based tattoo parlor and apparel shop with two locations -- one on the Las Vegas strip and one in the Rio Hotel & Casino; Tres Rios tequila, a high quality, authentic Mexican tequila created from the finest Agave in Guadalajara Mexico; The Skylar Neil Memorial Foundation (www. skylarneil.org), a tribute to Vince’s daughter whom he lost to cancer in 1995 which has raised over $2 million to help combat childhood cancer and his latest venture, Vince

Neil Aviation, a luxury air charter service providing the the rock n’ roll commute on either his Lear 35 or Hawker 700 jets. Raised on the tough streets of Compton, California, Vince Neil fell in love with music as a child, developing a broad vocabulary that ranged from classic Motown to hard rock. As a teenager, he began performing with local bands and soon discovered both a passion for the stage and a natural talent as a singer and performer. He fronted the popular band Rock Candy before reuniting with high school buddy Tommy Lee in 1981, sealing rock and roll history with the formation of Mötley Crüe. In addition to selling 80 million records around the world as the badass frontman for Mötley Crüe, Vince Neil also began his career as a solo artist in 1993. Vince’s Top 200 Billboard albums, Exposed (which reached number 13 on The Billboard 200 albums chart) and Carved In Stone have spurred

Slaughter

Over TWO decades of Rock and Roll 1990-2014 Before the formation of Slaughter, Mark Slaughter fronted Xcursion before joining the Vinnie Vincent Invasion, who had a hit song, “Love Kills”, that appeared on the Nightmare on Elm Street 4 movie soundtrack in 1988. After that band disbanded in the late 1980s, two of its members, Slaughter and Dana Strum, formed the group Slaughter. 1990 Slaughter hit radio, MTV and the U.S. touring circuit like a tornado- coming seemingly out of nowhere to roll through everything in its path and turn it upside down. Slaughter sold more than five million records in the 1990s. The group had four Top 30 hits on the Billboard charts with tunes such as “Fly To the Angels” and “Up All Night”, and toured with bands such as Kiss, Poison, Ozzy Osbourne and Damn Yankees. 2001 Slaughter was a proud part of a TWO MILLION selling CD “Monster Madness” (with – UP ALL NIGHT), the band was also out touring as a part of the “Voices of Metal” tour featuring Vince Neil of Motley Crue, Ratt, and Vixen 2003 Capital records re-released the first two Slaughter CD’s “Stick it to Ya” and the “Wildlife” featuring 24 bit digital re-mastering, additional photos, bonus tracks and liner

bomb commercial) and the Trix Rabbit (i.e., “Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids!”). “Yeah, Yeah, Yeah” became the band’s most popular concert song, always with a unique ad-lib performance by Whiteman. With this album, the tongue-in-cheek rock & roll style of KIX was established. Their 1983 follow-up, “Cool Kids” showcased a slightly more commercial side of the band featuring the title song and the single “Body Talk.” Somewhat overlooked but a favorite with female fans was the ballad “For Shame.” “Cool Kids” later was lampooned in good spirit on the popular MTV show “Beavis and Butthead.” KIX then partnered up with Ratt and future Warrant producer Beau Hill and, in 1985, released the hard rock power house album “Midnite Dynamite,” featuring a hard rock single by the same name and the funkier rock songs “Cold Shower” and “Sex.” The music video for “Cold Shower” quickly gained popularity and was put into regular rotation on MTV. The band headed west to continue to make a

Energy Performances that feature all of the Slaughter hits as well as new material. The Vh-1 Stripped DVD hit the retail stores March 15th, 2006 as yet another Slaughter release. 2007- SLAUGHTER was featured on a pacific rim – compilation CD that was Platinum within it’s first week of release, Slaughter filmed many of it’s live performance shows for a DVD release in 2008, and performed in front of 38,000 people singing SLAUGHTER songs at the world famed “Rocklahoma Music Fest”, as well as participated in a full Summer tour with Vince Neil of Motley Crue. – Of interesting note – Slaughter’s music has been played more in 2007 on radio and the internet then in the 3 previous years combined. Slaughter has shown that with perseverance and sheer talent, a band can survive and win over the support of fans , regardless of what others may say about the quality of their music. What’s most important is that their music is still here and the vast majority of critics who panned them in the past are not, and that’s as good as gold. Here’s to “Slaughter”………. Here’s to 24 YEARS of Rock n Roll and the Love Of Music and the Love Of Life…….. Slaughter is Mark Slaughter—Vocals, Guitars—Dana Strum, Bass—Blas Elias, Drums, Jeff Blando—Guitars

name for themselves in such places as the Sunset Strip, where Mötley where Mötley Crüe and other glam metal bands rose to stardom. KIX was quickly becoming a formidable live band like no other. KIX went back to the studio to write more songs. In 1988, they released “Blow My Fuse,” and finally achieved fame as it went platinum. In 1989, the band released “KIX, Blow My Fuse, the Videos” with their now popular music videos and behind-the-scenes footage. As KIX finally graduated to arenas, they regularly opened for such popular artists as Aerosmith and KISS and were on successful tours with Whitesnake, Ratt and Tesla. The album “Hot Wire” finally arrived in 1991 with the single, “Girl Money”. While on tour in 1992, they made a live album, titled “KIX Live” recorded at the University of Maryland, College Park. This album was released in 1993 largely as a contractual obligation to Atlantic Records. In 1995, the band released their final album “Show Business,” on CMC records. KIX broke up in 1995, and Hammerjack’s Concert Hall was torn down in June 1996 to make way for a parking lot for the Baltimore Ravens’ stadium. Since Kix’ return to the national stage in 2008 with appearances at

2000 and just missed the cut. “Mötley Crüe recorded ‘Another Bad Day’ many years ago and I thought it was one of the best ballads we’d ever done. When it got voted off of New Tattoo by the rest of Mötley, I held onto it waiting for the right time to dust it off,” adds Vince. The title song for the album captures Vince’s signature sound with a contemporary feel that has been compared to current acts such as Cavo and Godsmack. “Tattoos & Tequila” celebrates the rock n’ roll lifestyle.

KIX was founded in 1978 in Hagerstown, Maryland as The Shooze, then changed its name to The Generators before eventually settling on KIX. They were considered one of Maryland’s top cover bands prior to their signing with Atlantic Records in 1981. Though often lumped in with bands that many consider to be glam metal or hair metal, the bands popmetal stylings on the first KIX record drew inspiration from bubblegum pop and new wave as well as hard rock. In 1981, they debuted with a self-titled album “KIX,” featuring “Atomic Bombs,” “Heartache,” “Contrary Mary”,”The Itch,” “The Kid.” “Yeah, Yeah, Yeah” instantly became a concert favorite. “KIX Are for Kids” creatively merged the name of the band with two popular cereals of the 1960s and 1970s, KIX (that featured an atomic

Is it safe to compare Blue Oyster Cult & Rush? With their deep elaborate lyrics that take their fans on a intense descriptive journey. I’d say the two bands have alot in common. But in the early 70’s with the exception of Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, there was not a lot of hard rock or metal being played on the airwaves. And even though critics hailed the first three albums, (Blue Oyster Cult, Tyranny and Mutation, and Secret Treaties), as instant hard rock classics, FM Radio didn’t give the band much airplay with their early tunes about werewolves vampires and aliens However Critics had now labeled Blue Oyster Cult “The Thinking Man’s Metal Band.” They were so right. Their constant touring and word of mouth from fans finally paid off in 1975 with the release of the double live album “On Your Feet Or On Your Knees” which show cased the amazing talents of lead guitarist Buck Dharma. The album quickly went gold and cemented the band as a major concert draw. It was the following year however that Blue Oyster Cult really hit pay dirt with the multi platinum “Agents of Fortune” and the hit single “Don’t Fear the Reaper”. The album was a big hit with fans and critics alike. And Reaper was used in horror classics like Halloween and The Stand. It also propelled the band to major arena headliners going head to head with some of the hottest acts of the time Aerosmith, ZZ Top and Ted Nugent. At this time the band also fine tuned their hard rocking, guitar slashing live show with a barrage of theatrics including flash explosives, fireworks, smoke, strobe

(laughs). I read at one point that some groups were trying to apply some kind of Nazi symbolism to the logo, and the Jewish Defense League was planning on protesting at some of your concerts. Yeah, and it was totally ridiculous; like looking for devils behind trees. BOC has always had a historical and intellectual bent as far as what we’ve been doing, but we’ve never pandered to devil worship or any of that stuff. We deal with themes of good and evil in our tunes, but we don’t take a position. The idea that we have an agenda, political or otherwise,

silly. If we talked about the dark side of humanity, we just laid it out there and said, “Here it is.” was always

lights and a laser light show that was unsurpassed for its time. At one point the band would jam out on five guitars and also included Eric Bloom and Buck Dharma riding motor cycles on stage for the encore Born to Be Wild. It was a head bangers dream. More radio friendly hits followed including Godzilla, Burning for You, Joan Crawford and Take Me Away and the band went on to sell 24 million albums. In Buck Dharmas Words Are there any particular cover songs BOC has done that you like? There’s “Born to Be Wild,” “We Gotta Get Out of This Place,” “Kick Out the Jams.” I’ll ask about “Roadhouse Blues” in a minute. I like most of them. The weirdest one we probably ever tried was a studio version of “Born to Be Wild.” My philosophy about covers, in general, is that if you can’t bring something new to the party, you really shouldn’t try to cover a song, but that didn’t stop us from being foolhardy enough to try to cover “Kick Out the Jams”

Once the band had a record deal, some of the imagery its music created might have been considered controversial, but I had a feeling back then it was part marketing hype, as well. The details about the band’s logo are noted on a web page I checked out, but I’ll let you tell your version of how that symbol became the logo. That logo was created by the graphic artist who did our first two album covers; it really doesn’t exist anywhere else, but there are some similar historical antecedents behind it. Supposedly, it looks like the Greek symbol for chaos, and an alchemical symbol for lead. Whether these things are true, I can’t tell you. But the real poop on it is that it was created by a graphic artist, and when we saw it, we said, “That’s our logo.” Excerpts from an intervie www.vintageguitar.com/

AN ALTERNATIVE STATE OF MIND

It’s been a fast and furious eight years for Kentucky rockers Black Stone Cherry, What started as simply teenage jam sessions between singer  Chris Robertson  and  John Fred Young (son of The Kentucky Headhunter’s guitarist Richard Young), and quickly included classmates Ben Wells and Jon Lawhon, turned into one of the greatest success stories of the 21st century. And the timing couldn’t have been more perfect. Southern rock had remained a constant on rock radio, thanks to staples as ZZ Topp and Lynyrd Skynyrd, and saw a bit of a rejuvenation on the 2000s thanks to acts such as Nickelback and Alter Bridge—but, if the torch was going to be passed, it needed to belong to a band that was whiskey-soaked and deep-fried Southern; and that’s exactly what Black Stone Cherry is. In fact, it is this author’s opinion that the band has, through

www.bicycleannie.com

its three previous album releases, set the standard for the “new” Southern rock sound and style: a style that pays deep homage to the predecessors, but quietly and almost inconspicuously takes the genre to new heights. There isn’t a whole lot of anything new going on with the band with their latest release, Magic Mountain  (May 6th), but the band continues to move forward with their music, guns ablaze and rattlesnakes hissing. If there is anything different here, it is the fact that there is a little more “heaviness” to the album. While not to be considered a heavy metal album, there is definitely enough here to get the attention of rock and metal fans alike. Part of that may be due to the band’s recently signing with Roadrunner Records, one of the most well-known metal labels in the history of music. When If there’s a misstep here, it is with the song that will probayou walk the halls of a place that has released records from bly be the most popular on the album. “Dance Girl” takes the artists such as Biohazard, Type O Negative, King Diamond listener on a guitar-and-bass-heavy ride through the world of and Megadeth, I would expect a little bit of that to seep into strip clubs—but, unfortunately, it’s almost exactly like “Let your blood, regardless of what style you play. Whatever the case,  Magic Mountain  is thirteen songs of Me See You Shake” off their last record, which wasn’t a great pretty much exactly what you wanted to listen to from a track, either. I guess if I’m hitting the strip club, I’d much band that sounds great both driving down the road or light- rather hear Black Stone Cherry than, say, George Michael— ing up the BBQ. There are messages, if you care to find them, so maybe they knew what they were doing, all along. All in all, though, Black Stone Cherry is perfecting the art but this album is best played one way and one way only— of showing up, rocking your ass off, and leaving you to parloud. Some of the standout tracks for me were the opener “Hold- ty—and that’s always been what Southern rock has meant ing On and Letting Go,” which opens with fuzzy muted gui- to me. While Magic Mountain may not be their best record tar riffs, then cleans itself up nicely along the way. Halfway (which for me was their first), the band at least realizes that through, however, the band totally shifts gears into a tasty, fans want a lot more of the same—and that’s exactly what nasty Black Sabbath-y riff of metal greatness, before finish- they deliver. This record is destined for commercial success, huge radio ing up with their trademark choruses and soaring guitars. Already known as a bit of a “party band,”  Black Stone play, and will take them to even greater heights. Normally, Cherry makes no secret of their favorite pastime—smoking that would bother me and turn me off of an album; but, in pot. Two tracks, “Peace Pipe” and “Me and Mary Jane” are this instance, I think it may be its greatest strength. Rock and bound to be hesher anthems in the very near future; while mainstream radio need a kick in the balls, and Black Stone I’m not one for the “kind,” these tracks almost make a guy Cherry has definitely strapped on their boots. reconsider his recreational time. 8.5/10 The band has made a grand career of the “Southern power ballad,” and you get a few along the way here. “Runaway,” “Sometimes”  and  “Remember Me”  flirt a little too close to Creed territory for me, but they do give the record some Tuesday, May 20, 2014, 7 pm depth of styles and the opportunity to catch one’s breath along the way.

For 25 years, the Art & Jazz Festival has been a Grand Junction tradition and a celebration of art, local and national musical acts, great food, and local beer and wine. For 2014, the Downtown Business Improvement District board decided to rename the festival “Art and Music Festival” to reflect the breadth and diversity of the music provided. While there will still be many jazz musicians performing, there are many changes and additions to this FREE festival on Mother’s Day weekend!

on Friday at 8pm. Carrie Rodriguez, from Austin, has been called “the hardest-working woman in American roots music” (Huffington Post), and it has been noted that she “can switch from barn-burning country to noir rock to heartbreaking folk with a grace and ease that isn’t possible for most artists” (The Dallas Observer). She is playing twice on the Main Stage: Friday at 5pm and again on Saturday at 8pm. All musical performances are free! • Other notable performers

All musical performances are free. • There will be four unique stages spread out along the length of Main Street. The Main Stage at 4th and Main will feature headline acts on Friday and Saturday evenings. There will be three additional unique stages at 3rd and Main (Monument Stage), in the 500 block breezeway (Dragon Alley Stage), and at the 600 block breezeway (4 Tree Alley Stage) where musicians will be performing throughout the weekend. The multi-stage layout is designed to encourage festival attendees to move along the length of Main Street, browse art, and find the music they want to listen to most. • Many artist booths will be lining Main Street, featuring the work of fine artists, artisans, and demonstrating artists.

just to name a few things - ideas welcome

Best way to arrive:  Carpool with your friends. If you have four or more in your car, parking is free inside the park on a first-come-first-served basis. Less people in your car, and you pay the state park their standard entrance fee of $7. Support the Sate Parks, and get an annual pass, and you’re good to go for all the shows—plus you won’t pay at any state park for admission. But you still need the concert ticket! How do I get a ticket? Go to any City Market customer service counter, and get as many as you want for any show.  There is a $2 processing fee. Why? It cost the Riverfront Commission thousands of dollars to print tickets that fans didn’t use. We couldn’t continue to waste money like that. We asked TicketsWest and City Market to take that part over, but there are costs associated with printing tickets and staffing a counter, resulting in a $2 fee per ticket. Why do I need a ticket? Ticketing allows the producers to regulate attendance and to provide the customer with information (on the ticket) relevant to the concert. How to go to this show for the best possible experience? Well I’m glad you asked that! I would carpool with friends and have a designated driver. I would arrive early, say about 5:30 or 6pm. I would eat something off one of the food vendors, just to avoid lugging a cooler—but that might be fun, too. I would dress for sun but have gear for wind and rain and cooler temps, too, if there was a chance of bad weather. I would bring a nice bag chair and have it out of its bag for inspection at the gate. Good Friends, Good food, Good Music! Yeah! Other considerations:   Kids are welcome, but keep them close by, as the Colorado River is just feet away. Sunscreen yes—even at 6pm. Alternative modes of arriving: Bikes, of course, and maybe a boat trip to the Parks landing. Check for rules regarding using the park boat ramp. Ron Wilson, Sandstone Entertainment, Inc.

com/news/ci_25410897/marijuana-ruling-could-overturnthousands-convictions-mdashor?source=pkg Since that glorious New Year’s Day in January, you may have noticed the packaging for your cannabis products has drastically changed. The old-school days of see-through ziplock baggies has been replaced with a process known as “vacuum seal”—or those annoying “lock top” safety medicine bottles. Many dispensaries in Denver use black or silver bags or jars in many sizes, shapes and colors. Some even offer recycling of your containers. Also, there are many more labels attached to each package, which includes the strain and amounts of what’s inside. Some dispensaries get really creative and put the percentage of THC and how that particular strain can be used to alleviate what pain you may have. So, remember Sativa strains are for the relief of body aches and Indica strains generally go straight to your head to relieve the stress of your crazy day. The purpose for all this new labeling is a direct result of legalization and new regulations. We must keep it out of the hands of children, which is extremely important. Now that anyone 21 and older can legally purchase marijuana in Colorado, the way in which the products are packaged became a major priority to parents. This new packaging and proper labeling also includes “edibles,” which make up 20-40% of overall cannabis sales throughout the state. But the labeling for edibles has been controversial in the past. People want to know exactly how much THC is in each product sold and purchased. For instance, a 1-2 ounce brownie may say it contains 100mgs to 250 mgs, but clarity on per serving became an issue. Edibles come in many forms, such as chocolate bars or gummy bears and now even in non-alcoholic drinks. This is just what parents and concerned citizens want to know: How much THC does each edible item contain, down to the nanogram. The process of providing 100% accurate or equivalent

COLORADO – Spring always brings good and positive things to the universe, which always makes for a great summer. In April, through a landmark ruling, the Colorado Court of Appeals began overturning marijuana convictions. If successful, more than 10,000 citizens of Colorado currently incarcerated or on probation for marijuana-related charges will have their sentences nullified and or be released from Colorado penal institutions. As defense lawyers and paralegals comb through thousands of files, a lot rest on just how the lower courts effectively will support the most recent ruling. It makes sound economic and fiscal sense for Colorado when jailing people for marijuana misdemeanors that are no longer applicable. The cost to taxpayers in the Rocky Mountain state to house inmates is $606,208, plus an additional $584,724 to pay the salaries of corrections officers and run the facilities. Now that marijuana is legal in Colorado, it makes virtu4-7-10 ally no sense toExpires continue this decades-old practice. Incarceration actually costs society even more, when taxpayers also foot the bills for the social services needed for the jailed and their families on the outside. Known in the industry as “collateral costs,” these can include many categories of basic services people need, such as healthcare, welfare and food assistance. This news puts a huge hole in the so-called “War on Drugs” that’s been raging since 1971, when President Richard Nixon felt there was too much drug abuse permeating American society. This exhaustive and failed war has cost the United States over $51 billion EACH YEAR since its implementation.
