Interview by:
Jeffrey Inks
Name: Kendall Park
Age: 45 years old
Occupation:
Owner of JLA Talent Agency
Hobbies:
Spend my free time motorcycle
riding
Favorite Restaurant:
My favorite restaurant is in
B re n t w o o d C A — P e p p o n i e s
(Northern Italian Cuisine). I’ve
been going there for over 30
years.
Goals:
My goal in life is to learn from
today to better myself for tomorrow.
How long have you been a talent agent?
Years and years. In December
2001, I partnered with another
successful Los Angeles “power
agent” to form JLA Talent, handling children and adults both
theatrically and commercially. I
brought my extensive client list,
including such actors as I’ve listed
further on in this interview.
Do you only represent child
actors?
I am known as a “boutique”
agent; my roster consists of only
several hundred clients—but several hundred of the best, ranging
in ages 4-70. We’re very selective
about whom we represent. The
hallmark of our success is our
reputation with casting directors.
We pitch the right client for the
right job; the simple formula of
quality over quantity assures success for my clients and my agency.
We are known for developing and
grooming new talent and for our
aggressiveness marketing our
clients.
What did you do before you got
into representing talent?
After college, I became licensed
as both an insurance broker and
a financial broker and worked for
both Continental Insurance and
Trading Financial Capital for a
combined 10 years. Thereafter,
I started training as a entertainment agent. I originally came
from ACME Talent & Literary,
running their children’s commercial department for five years. I
led that division to become the
third most successful children’s
commercial department in the
industry.
Kristin Herrera (Zoey 101),
Courtney Draper (The Jersey and
Bold & Beautiful), Ashley Clark
(The Hugleys), Orlando Brown
(That’s So Raven and The Proud
Family), Lalaine (Lizzy Maguire),
Daniella Zuvic (Nancy Drew,
American Dreams & Listen Up),
Morgan Flynn (Strong Medicine),
Parker Posey (My Wife & Kids),
Percy Daggs (Veronica Mars),
Kyndle Rose (CSI Miami), Bobby
Edner & Robert Dvito (Spy Kids 3),
Taylor Lautner and Sascha Piertese
(Shark Boy & Lava Girl), Michael
Johnson (Mike’s Super Short
Show), CJ Saunders (Ray Charles
Movie, First Sunday), Jennifer
Hyatt (Ned’s Declassified), Denzel
Whitaker (The Great Debaters).
What are three most difficult
aspects of your job?
It’s difficult dealing with egos,
keeping stage parents in check,
and keeping clients’ spirits and
motivation up, even when the
industry is at slow points.
Pamela Hobby SAG Actress
with Kendall Park
I understand you just won SAG
(Screen Actors Guild) agent of the
month. How big a deal is that?
It validated my passion for my
clients. I like to treat each client as
if they are my only client. Giving
each and all of them extra attention
in turn makes them stronger and
more confident during the auditioning process. Los Angeles has
thousands of actors, but I strive to
put mine in the forefront of things.
Can you name some of the talent you represent & some of their
accolades?
Naya Rivera (Glee), Ashley
Tisdale (The Suite Life), Kyla
Pratt (One on One and The Proud
Family, Fat Albert the Movie),
Robert Ri’chard (One on One &
Coach Carter, Cousin Skeeter),
What are three of the most
rewarding aspects of your job?
Having a new actor call and
tell me someone recognized him
on the street. Helping a child
make so much money that college and life is paid for before
they are even ten years old.
Knowing you’re making a positive difference in someone’s life.
What is the best piece of advice
you can give someone wanting to
break into your industry?
If persons want to break into
the industry, I suggest they follow
their passion. Get as much training
as possible. Be prepared to take
chances and have thick skin. Some
people can become successful over
night, and some might take a lifetime, if at all. But more than that, I
advise them to enjoy and have fun
with this business. It is unlike any
other industry. I wouldn’t trade
it for anything else in the world.

FLEXISS: Playing the Internet Game for Profit
As if it wasn’t enough of a challenge making a company Web site
return a profit, business people
nowadays also have to deal with
a host of new online marketing
opportunities that many of them
don’t even understand.
“It used to be that businesses
only had to get a Web site online
for people to find it and use it, but
those days are gone for good,”
according to Grand Junction
Web site development consultant
people are hearing about them
every day. No wonder so many
business people are overwhelmed,”
he went on. “Many of my customers are confused—they don’t know
where they should focus their limited time and money.”
It was to address this need that
Barefoot began focusing more of
his time and energy on developing
a series of workshops targeted at
non-technical people. “The workshops we present are delivered in
Ross Barefoot Owner/CEO of FLEXISS
Ross Barefoot, owner and CEO of
FLEXISS, L.L.C. “Most Internet
purchases start out as a search on
Google, so if a Web site doesn’t
come up in Google’s search results,
it’s as if it’s invisible.”
According to Barefoot, the challenge doesn’t end with Google.
Besides needing their business Web
sites to be found on the dominant
search engine, business people
now contend with similar challenges for services like Facebook,
Twitter, Youtube, LinkedIn, Yelp,
Foursquare, Groupon…the list
is endless. As Barefoot observed,
“Five years ago, words like Twitter,
Youtube, Yelp and LinkedIn didn’t
even exist, much less affect businesses. Now suddenly business
plain English and focus on practical
knowledge. Our goal is not to turn
a business person into a technical
person, but to help make the world
of Google and Facebook make
sense in a business context.”
Barefoot is well suited to the task
of bringing business people up to
speed on the new Internet marketing opportunities. He founded his
company, FLEXISS, in 1996; and
in the last 15 years, he has helped
hundreds of businesses create Web
sites and market them.
FLEXISS is still active in developing Web sites for business, but a
lot has changed in the last decade
or so.

hase of E es
nies, and that was usually enough,”
said Barefoot. “But now it’s not
enough to just build a good Web
site. A company has to be much
more aggressive in marketing its
Web site if the owners want it to
produce any measurable results.
“We’ve been doing search engine
optimization [the practice of finetuning a Web site so it shows up
better on Google] since about 2003.
Back then, it was only needed by a
few clients, Now, just about everyone who wants to be found online
needs to know at least something
about how to optimize his/her
site, especially for Google, which
controls about 70% of all search
traffic. So our first all-day workshop focuses on Google.”
However, Google is no longer
the number-one Web site in the
world—that title goes to Google’s
new rival, Facebook, which is
expected to hit a billion users in
the near future. “What’s more,”
Barefoot noted, “Facebook is working on a search engine to compete
directly with Google, and Google
is testing a social network called
Google Plus to compete directly
with Facebook. Things are moving fast, and it’s hard to keep up.
That’s why we also have a full day
seminar on Facebook, and we talk
about all the developments affecting business in the world of social
media.”
Barefoot will be leading Internet
marketing workshops on October
26, 27 and 29 at the Grand Vista
Hotel on Horizon Drive in Grand
Junction. The workshops are
intended primarily for Western
Slope business people, but anyone who wants to learn more about
Internet marketing is welcome to
attend. One of the all-day workshops focuses on Google, and the
other focuses on Facebook and other “social media” Web sites such
as Twitter and LinkedIn. The cost
of each full-day program is $149,
and attendees can sign up online

Feedback
School is back in and I assume everyone is waking up much earlier than
during the summer. My system has been in shock waking up in time to get
my daughter to 6am volleyball practice.
I was really surprised to hear that we have at least 8900 students at
Colorado Mesa University-CMU. This has to be great news for local retailers. It will take some time to get used to the name, but I’m sure we’ll all
adjust sooner if not later.
I hope that the new owners of Powderhorn are approach the development of Powderhorn as aggressively as the leaders of CMU. There is so
much to offer on The Grand Mesa. I’d love to see that beautiful mountain
marketed more.
It was great to get a few letters in from our readers. Below are two letters
to Lyle Stout on his column printed in our August 2011. If you missed it.
You can read it online at www.yvsource.com.
Jeffrey Inks - Publisher
Your recent column by Lyle Stout, “...A Bum Rap” was the perfect trifecta of
all that cogent writers attempt not to do. It was disjointed, banal, and incited
people to violence. What was his point anyway? It sounds like his solution
is to have “Good Americans” arm themselves with baseball bats and drive
out the “unworthy” homeless. This, in turn,sounds a lot like Adolph Hitler’s
cry for “Good Germans” to put on Brownshirts and terrorize entire classes
of people that they obviously knew little about. A scientific study this past
winter counted 800+ homeless people in the valley this past January. There
are shelter beds for 110 people. You do the math(if you’re capable) In addition, District 51 did a comprehensive and thorough count of homeless school
children in the valley and came up with a census over 500. How loud would
the crunching of their tiny bones sound from the baseball bats of the thugs
moving them on. The truth is that homelessness is a complex issue about
which Stout seems to know staggeringly little about. How about this for
Stout’s logic? We have had fire departments for years. Yet we still have fires,
don’t we? Let’s abolish those useless fire departments and just send those
fires elsewhere? Let’s face it, Lyle, your ideas are archaic and atavistic. You
are not likely doing anything to help the community at large. How could you
help anyways since you don’t even know what you’re talking about? Ahhhh,
perhaps there’s the rub. I suspect that you have no interest in helping your
neighbors in such depressed economic times. When did the poor become
your mortal enemy? There are enough hungry and homeless children and
adults who are worthy of a leg up, and you drive by their respite, waggling
a mocking finger. Then you go home and incite violence on them. If this is
true, you, reveal yourself to be a prejudiced, malevolent hatemongerer. Both
secular, and non-secular groups are actively working hard together to do
something positive about the lesser among us. The boat is pulling out, and
your not on it..Soon, we will all have to make decisions about what sort of
things we can do without taxpayers money to help. Violence? That’s your
baggage and you must accept the responsibility for inciting it. You think it’s
harsh for a child to see a drunk passed out under a tree? I find your idea of
bum-bashing abhorrent to all. Debate? Anytime.
Sincerely, Eric L. Niederkruger
One need not ask if Lyle Stout is a Republican or most likely a Tea Party
supporter, with his diatribe about the homeless. I would like to point out to
this superior being .. There [BUT] for the grace of God go I.....

Confessions of the Punctually
Impaired
Author’s Note:
This was written
in November 2000.
It is true.
If Confucius
had lived with me, he might have
said, “A journey of a single mile
begins with a thousand steps.”
I have trouble getting anywhere
on time. My three sons and my
husband have grown tolerant of
this shortcoming, but they maintain it’s a tolerance tempered in
the fires of frustration.
“Why can’t you guys just acct
this as a charming flaw in my otherwise sterling personality?” I ask
them.
“Why can’t you just start getting
ready to go sooner?” they retort.
I hate it when people answer
a question with a question, but I
have a comeback prepared, believe
me! The comeback is, “Oh, yeah?!”
[I didn’t say it was a good one.]
I’ve tried! When I know I must
leave the house at a specific time,
I mentally map the steps necessary
to my taking that all-important
committed step out the door. (A
“committed” step means that I’m
determined not to return to the
house several times before actually driving out of the yard.)
In my mental mapping, 15 minutes seems an eternity. All I have to
do is feed the dog, cats, duck, fish
and myself; shower; thrown on
clothes and makeup and do something with my hair… But where
are my shoes? My glasses? ...And
cripes! I should write a check to
Grand Valley Power… and, oh,
that’s right—you need lunch
money today… yes, your clean
shirt is still in the dryer, and ye-ee-s, the stuff in the dishwasher is
clean (read the little “clean” sign
on the front of the dishwasher,
for #$%& sake!) and… and… (I
wonder secretly, now frantically)
where is MY wife? Where is MY
mother?
I’m convinced that, if I had a
wife or mother looking after me, I
could be anywhere on time! And
the males in my life wouldn’t be
tapping testy toes and glancing in
pained martyrdom at every clock
in the house while I bounce off
walls like a berserk pinball.
I’ve given the problem a lot of
thought, because I have, by nature,
a serious mental bent. (In fact, I
can’t count the times friends have
told me, “You’re seriously bent
mentally.”)
I’ve decided that the problem
began very naturally, when my
three boys were babies. Babies, you
may have noticed, command an
amount of preparation, equipment
and folderol out of all proportion
to their size.
With my first son, by the time I
had packed up Baby Dev, diapers,
more diapers, food, milk, juice,
medicine spoon, liquid Tylenol,
bibs, burp rags, teething biscuits,
wipes, an extra outfit, an extraextra outfit (just in case), car seat,
toys, folding playpen, “Lamby,”
“pluggy,” and the Snugli, I was so
worn out that I didn’t want to go
anywhere anymore.
Despite these organizational
Cuisine
Over the years, I’ve lost four
ceramic travel mugs, the big ones
with flat bottoms that were touted
as “untippable.” Well, they’re not
invulnerable if you happen to
leave them on the roof of the car
and later take a turn at 20 miles
an hour, let me tell you! Each one
ended up flinders on roadways
as I sped along (probably late) to
somewhere.
Be that all as it may, we survived
(except the mugs). The boys blossomed; life went on. Life goes on
(and so do I).
If I’m left with a societal handicap and must live as one of the
punctually impaired, that’s a
small sacrifice to have made for
my beloved family. And you’d
think my beloved family would
accept that fact gratefully and
gracefully—even if they never
understand it.

frenzies, what did I do but invite
a second and eventually a third
son into my maternal mix. What
was I thinking?!
The baby-plus-toddler duo came
with challenges that shouldn’t have
surprised me, but did. Later on,
the baby-plus-two-preschoolers
combo resulted in some full-blown
logistical nightmares.
Once, as I unpacked to begin a
glorious two-week family vacation
with in-laws in Michigan, I discovered I’d packed twice what the
boys needed but was wearing all
the clothes I’d brought for myself.
And, even as young as they were,
weren’t the boys embarrassed that
time I stood in the church communion line and we all suddenly
noticed I was still wearing my old
slippers?
“Chill out, Boys,” I murmured
to them later. “God loves my ‘holy’
slippers.”

Have I mentioned before that I
am a Southern boy, from Huntsville,
Alabama, the heart of Dixie? A
quick geography lesson shows that
Georgia is the next state over to the
east, and what is Georgia known
for? Peaches, right? Well, I can tell
you when I moved to the Junction
over 20 years ago, I was not a peach
fan; I did not care for any aspect
of the fuzzy fruit. Then I tasted a
Palisade peach—oh my, what a
difference! They say it’s because of
the cool nights and warm days; but
whatever it is, when you get hold
of a ripe peach, be prepared for a
taste experience—the flavor, juiciness, and the burst of freshness is
hard to beat.
August is a good month for the
Grand Valley because of the Palisade
Peach Festival and all the excitement that goes with that (car show,
recipe contest, bank robbery, etc.)
I am being serious—I drove back
from dropping my recipe off at
the contest and was just in time
to see law enforcement swarm
the bank with weapons drawn.
I assume it was a devious D.B.
Cooper-type of character wearing
an orange vest, robbing the bank
during the parade, but I digress…
Here is what I entered into the
recipe contest. Alas, I was not cho-
sen as a winner, but I heard that
people really liked it. It is simple
and delicious. Enjoy!

Thursday - I have an entire
day to kill before my performance
run starts tomorrow. This means
handing out flyers. It’s been a
while since I’ve had to hand
strangers a piece of paper with
the word “Jesus” written on it, but
I warm up quickly, and soon I’m
back in the self-promotion saddle.
When I finish each pitch by telling
the people that my show is being
performed in a church, they
always say, “Well, that’s ironic.”
And then they laugh heartily.
I laugh with them, but it’s a
forced, fake laugh. For while it is
noteworthy that I’m performing
a show about being in a religious
cult in the church, I don’t think
it’s actually ironic. Not any
more ironic than, say, rain on
your wedding day. Maybe it’s a
Canadian thing? I blame Alanis
Morissette.
Now, it WOULD be ironic
is my show was titled, “Burn
Down all Churches,” or “I Will
Never Perform this Show in a
Church.” But it isn’t. And you
can’t really have these highfalutin’
discussions with the people you’re
desperately trying to convince to
come and see your show. No, you
smile and nod and be friendly,
and if people say something they
think is funny and you think is
borderline ignorant, DO NOT
mention it. Just play along. See,
I’ve learned a thing or two about
promotion over the years.
Friday - Opening night. All
goes well. A nice-sized crowd
who seemed to enjoy the show.
Whew...
Saturday - Another show
tonight, and lots of seats to fill,
so I spend the day doing more
flyering. I have a new spiel: “I’m
doing a show about being in a
cult, and I’m performing it in a
church! Isn’t that ironic?” Then
we all share a good laugh, and
they race off to buy tickets to my
show. Adapt or starve.
Sunday - Finish writing a
column about a week of life on
the road, e-mail it off to the paper.
I have another show later tonight,
in a church… on Sunday!
I know, I know—totally ironic,
right?

Red Hot Chili Peppers
By Randy Raisch
Twenty-five years is a long time to
be part of a band, regardless of how
tight-knit their members are or how
good they sound together. Just ask
the Red Hot Chili Peppers. After the
release of their last album – 2006’s
double-disc Stadium Arcadium –
the trials and tribulations of rock
success apparently took its toll on
the California quartet. The band
toured for almost two years straight
to support the release; after the dust
settled, founding member Anthony
Kiedis placed the band on hiatus
in 2008. This sparked talk that they
had broken up, and the Internet was
abuzz with rumors of the end of the
band’s long run.
Adding fuel to the fire were the
2009 announcements that on-again/
off-again guitarist John Frusciante
had departed the band (presumably
for the last time), and drummer
Chad Smith had joined supergroup
Chickenfoot (alongside Sammy
Hagar, Michael Anthony and Joe
Satriani).
You can relax, though. The Red
Hot Chili Peppers have released
the group’s milestone tenth studio
album “I’m with You,” featuring
new guitarist Josh Klinghoffer.
Almost immediately, you know
that the band’s matured quite a bit,
even since Stadium. Not much of
a surprise, really. I doubt anyone
honestly thought the band would
still be jumping around like animals
with their genitalia wrapped in tube
socks some twenty years later. This
is nothing more than the direction
the band started moving towards
once they sobered up and became
family men—and it comes across
genuine.
In a mixed-bag of styles, the album
spins its way through fourteen
tracks of funk/rock/soul/punk as
recognizable as your own face in the
mirror, with a few twists...
Apparently, Kiedis has spent the
last five years listening to a lot of Sly
& The Family Stone, as much of the
album is peppered with a Nixonera flashback to afros and bellbottoms, hand-claps and all. While
a bit of a departure from the band’s
normal chaotic punk influence, the
smoothed-out, roller-rink vibe plays
out just fine.
That’s not to say the entire album
is nothing more than a modernized
S o u l Tr a i n s o u n d t r a c k — t h e
Peppers have plenty more to offer
stylistically.
The first single off the album is
“The Adventures of Rain Dance
Maggie,” which is a perfect return
to the airwaves. It’s not too crazy,
yet not too soft. It’s more melodious
than much of the album and stands
as a great reminder of how chartworthy RHCP can be when they
want to. Evenly balanced bass and
guitar ride along smoothly over

pattern. A little safe? Yes – but
smart.
They still know how to rock,
though, as “Goodbye Hooray” hits
pretty hard with a swirl of heavy
drums, infectious bass, and cleanto-fuzzy guitars. The track slows
down to catch its breath midway
(after all, Kiedis and Flea ARE
almost 50), but finishes with a flurry
of noise and energy.
“Happiness Loves Company”
again feels like the 1970s, but the
different side of the decade. It’s
like the Partridge Family – if the
flowered tour bus was a bodypiercing parlor that served hard
booze. It’s fun and poppy, a little
tongue-in-cheek, and a definite
toe-tapper. The Chili Peppers have
always experimented with bringing
new styles to the party, and, while
this was a little unexpected, it
worked. The catchiest track on the
disc, bar none.
For a band that has cashed in on
quite a few slower songs over their
career, there isn’t much of it on display through I’m with You. Quality
is better than quantity, though,
and if the ballad is what you seek,
you’ll find it in “Police Station.” The
strength here is in the lyrics, but the
backing guitars and piano build this
track slowly but surely. I’m not sure
I ever remember female vocals on
a Chili Peppers song, but they only
add to the grandeur. If it’s not the
best track on the disc, it’s pretty
damn close.
What echoed long after the album
was over was what the future holds
for the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The
album is decent enough, but I doubt
the public would endure another
five-year lapse before another
album. Several writers seem to think
this is the band’s “swan song.” If
that’s the case, I think Kiedis and
company put their best foot forward
here, releasing a smart, albeit more
mature, album that would be a fitting end to one of the most storied
careers in music. But I sure as hell
hope not. Book The Demon Funkies:

This is a benefit concert and all proceeds go to KAFM!
David Gans has established himself as the consummate troubadour,

As both a player and a fan, he understands the indefinable transformative
power of music—how it feeds our very
life-force, bonds us together in obvious
and unseen ways, teaches us, heals us,
makes us better citizens of this planet.
The Lindells’ are husband and wife,
Chris and Kim Lindell. Writing, recording, and performing together since they
met in high school, they’ve brought
their songs come to life in the great

Denver Beer Fest Sept. 23 - Oct 1
Coors Brewery – and hosts the annual Great American Beer Festival
(GABF), which has been declared
the largest beer tasting event in the
world,” Scharf said.
The third annual Denver Beer
Fest will be held Sept. 23 to Oct.
1, 2011, offering nine days of beercentric events. The festival is expected to generate more than 150
events from “Meet the Brewer
Nights” and beer-paired dinners
to firkin tapings and beer competitions. Many of the events can
already be viewed on the newly
launched website, DenverBeerFest.
com, which also has information
on brewery tours, Denver’s beer
history, and features brewer profiles from craft breweries located
throughout the state. Denver Beer
Fest is presented by VISIT DENVER, in partnership this year with
Westword and the Colorado Brewers Guild.
It was to welcome GABF that
Denver Beer Fest was created.
“We knew that GABF was attracting some of the world’s top craft
beer writers and aficionados, and
we wanted to give them opportunities to sample Denver’s beer
scene, in addition to tasting all
the American beers available at
GABF,” Scharf said.
With GABF selling out 11 weeks
early, Denver Beer Fest has given
locals another opportunity to be
involved in the city’s beer culture.
“Just like fine dining, beer has
become part of Denver’s tourism
brand,” states Richard Scharf, president & CEO of VISIT DENVER.
“Denver brews more beer than any
other city, is home to the largest
single brewing site in the world –
Some of the events include:
* Rare Beer Tastings
* Meet the Brewer Nights
* Firkin nights (a cask conditioned beer will be tapped and
drained until it is gone)

...Cry ‘Havoc!’and Let Slip the Dogs of War
By Lyle Stout
With the election still more
than a year
away, the first
of the candidates who will
run against President Obama and
the entrenched liberal media have
mostly announced their intentions.
It’s very interesting to see the control
that the Democratic party has over
the media raise its ugly head again,
and to see what lengths they’ll go to
try to destroy any candidate they
feel is a real threat to the ineffective leadership they’ve displayed
the last four years. A person needs
to watch the attacks carefully; the
more vicious they become, the more
likely they are being waged against
someone you should consider voting for.
The country is quickly slipping
into what will be known as the
Obama Depression: The country’s
credit rating has been downgraded
for the first time in history; America
has lost stature in the eyes of the rest
of the world; government spending is out of control; average unemployment figures hover around
ten percent; food stamp rolls have
increased to over 46 million people,
up 74% since 2007; and unemployment has become a form of permanent welfare. However, even with
the country crashing down around
its ears, the media will be unleashed
Bollan’s Beefs
Chaos Theory
and Religion
In the 13th cent u r y, T h o m a s
Aquinas, a.k.a.
Saint Thomas
A q u i n a s ,
devised a proof for the existence of
God that has become known as the
“Argument by Design.” It’s the most
popular of five classical arguments
for the existence of God because it’s
the most easily understood. Face
it—a primate can’t understand anything that isn’t way simple.
I saw a version of the Argument
by Design being preached just last
week. “There are exactly,” said the
preacher, “twenty different physical
indices in the universe. And if each
of them were not exactly what they
are, then the universe would not
exist. Therefore, God exists.”
I had trouble focusing on the
details of the argument because
the nasty fellow kept wiping his
nose with the sleeve of his suit. As
Tolstoy said, “I cannot believe in
the lofty intellect, the fine taste, or
the complete honesty of a man who
picks his nose and whose soul communicates with God.”
But let’s get back on track. The
universe does show remarkable
order in some cases. For instance,
it is remarkable that, as Kepler put
it, the square of the orbital period of a
planet is directly proportional to the
cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit,
assuming a lone planet and zero
mass. That’s pretty orderly, assump-
10
tions and all. But in common talk,
Kepler was just saying, “Because
gravity’s always the same, you can
use geometry to figure out roughly
how long it takes a planet to go
around the sun, if you know how far
away from the sun the planet is.”
What I think is telling is that it
took hominids millions of years
to figure out the answer to what
amounts to a pretty easy problem.
It’s certainly true that humans were
too busy fighting about religion to
do the simple observations necessary to discover Kepler ’s law of
planetary motion.
I had a professor who propounded a view exactly opposite
the Argument by Design. She saw
no order at all, claimed the universe
was random and chaotic. The universe is just a big old nasty, mostlydark thing that just vomits stuff up,
she said.
Even God once publicly admitted,
“I made the avocado pit too big.” In
saying that, God admitted that the
universe is somewhat chaotic. And
just because God thinks he made
only one or two mistakes, someone
else might think God made many
mistakes. Like, why are deer flies
so tenacious? Why does Buddhism
make sense? Why does halibut cost
so much?
I should point out that the “avocado God” is God as revealed to
Avery Corman and John Denver.
I don’t know whether or not the
Gods of Judaism, Christianity,
Islam, Hinduism and the thousands
GRAND JUNCTION
to try to damage
any conservative
candidate who is
brave enough to
raise his or her
head.
A few months
ago, Vladimir
Putin described
the American
people as parasites to the rest of
the world, referring to our unfailing inability to rein in our spending,
even though it was damaging the
world’s economy. Can you think of
a time in history that our country
was thought of as parasitic in the
eyes of world leaders?
And, in the middle of this time
of imminent danger with the possible demise of our great country,
the media is preparing an onslaught
of attacks on anyone who decides
to run against the incumbent president. It reminds me of famous lines
from Shakespeare’s play Julius
Caesar. The lines eerily reflect what
happens when the handlers in the
Democratic party loose their media
dogs on any conservative candidate
who chooses to run. The attacks
start in the liberal television media,
and trickle down to the editors of
most local papers. The less effective
the Democratic candidate, the more
vicious the attack on anyone who
opposes the candidate becomes,
with the hope that the attacked candidate will spend valuable time and
resources responding to the attack
rather than running a campaign.
Never mind about the man behind
the curtain. The lines from Julius
Caesar:
With Ate by his side come hot
from hell
Shall in these confines with a
monarch’s voice
Cry “Havoc!” and let slip the
dogs of war…
A few of these lines are often
overlooked. If we think of the media
as the dogs of war, they are indeed
released on the opposing candidates, their business associates, and
even their children and spouses.

where God should be most evident
and the universe most ordered.
Two of the first systematic
attempts to define God rationally (a
mistake?) in our culture came from
the Ionian philosophers Parmenides
and Heraclitus about 2500 years
ago. Parmenides metaphorically
represented God as a sphere, like
the sun. God is unchanging in time
and space, in Parmenides’ view—
totally ordered.
Heraclitus’ represented God as a
raging fire, a fire is always changing. The great creative force that is
of spirit religions would agree that
the avocado pit is too big. But this
ridiculous multiplicity of Gods—
Hinduism alone has over five million Gods—necessarily leads to disorder in the fabric of the universe.
It does lead to anarchic competition
among humans—animals prone by
nature to pride and violence.
Also on the side of disorder: My
son was telling me that, while he
was dissecting a cadaver, he pulled
a bony orb from the socket where
the eyeball should have been. The
bone was spherical, the size of an
eyeball, and the optic nerve and
muscles were attached to it.
Coincidentally, a certain crustacean can see through bony eyes on
its shell. The article I read argued
that it can’t see as distinctly as animals with soft eyes, but it can see.
Maybe the guy with a bony orb for
an eye could see, too?
But if you really want to see chaos, look at the variety of people. Oh,
my God! I was watching a movie
based on a true story, and here is
this guy who liked to pick up boys
and kill them for entertainment?
What the…?
And what about all those who
swoon over Prince William and
Kate? I don’t get it at all!
And what about the local guy
recently caught rolling around in
the filthy tank of a porta-potty for
pleasure? Are you kidding? That is
exactly the last thing I would do—
and never for pleasure. This implies
chaos in the realm of human values
Remember David Letterman fantasizing about Bristol Palin being
raped? Remember Saturday Night
Live using Tina Fey to ridicule Sarah
Palin over and over throughout the
last campaign?
As they begin to attack Rick Perry
for his belief in God, isn’t it ironic
that he would be ridiculed by a party that protected President Obama’s
“God Damn America” pastor?
Ate, in the quotation, was the
goddess of ruin and strife, suited
to be a part of the new Democratic
party, and “Havoc!” was the command given on ancient battlefields
to indicate the battle was over and
the troops could begin plundering and pillaging the enemy. The
real problem is that the plundering
that has now begun is the plunder
of our very country, its resources,
and its viability as a job-producing
environment for our children and
grandchildren.
God flickers and dances energetically and chaotically throughout the
universe, according to Heraclitus.
So the Argument by Design is
flawed. It is espoused by people
who prefer Parmenides. I prefer
Heraclitus.
If we were angels, we might be
astute enough to determine if God
is all about order or all about chaos.
But we’re not angels; we’re apes.
Our little concept of order is chaos to God.

The big thing about the British
summer, apart from the lousy
weather, is front gardens. We do
not have those liberating swathes of
lawn surrounding our houses that
you enjoy, we prefer an enclosure
behind the building, more precious
and private than the bathroom. The
front, however, is strictly for public
viewing—in other words, keeping
up with the Joneses. We meticulously change the horticultural display
with each passing season, roses,
marigolds and hanging baskets
for summer, pansies, heather and
Christmas lights in winter. In June,
July and August we stand about for
hours chatting to neighbours about
fertilisers, pruning and garden centres. We barely pass the time of day
when the nights draw in.
One recent typical summer’s day,
it was raining stair rods. I walked, or
rather crawled at snail’s pace, to the
bus stop with Mr. Clarke, the man
permanently in slow-motion mode,
with the energetic wife. His hair had
a hint of fresh bootblack about it,
and a smart grey suit replaced the
familiar anorak, but he was losing
the battle with an armful of groceries. Gradually, I learned that he was
supplying breakfast at his work’s
brainstorming session. I gritted my
teeth and resisted mentioning it was
two o’clock in the afternoon and
that Waitrose, our local supermar-
ket, still provided free plastic bags.
As for brainstorming, well, I did
start laughing at his self parody, but
I shut up instantly. He was deadly
serious. Mr. Clarke was carrying a
bag of prawns, and I asked him if
he liked shellfish.
“Yes, I love shellfish,” he replied.
“I’m fond of those things called
er,… I can’t remember their name,
but they come in a shell.”
I hurried back to the safety of my
car.
Thankfully, Hanger Hill provides
a substantial geographical barrier
between my village-within-a-village
and Ealing Broadway centre, where
the rioters recently struck. It is not
only outrageous, it’s ridiculous to
riot in the Queen of the Suburbs,
one of the capital’s most traditional
bastions of middle-class respectability. The few broken windows and
piles of shattered glass seemed silly
and adolescent; even the rubbish
tipped all across the main road was
an infantile spat. A clip round the
ear, today illegal, would put a stop
to all this childish self-indulgence.
The ludicrous truth is that anyone,
including a parent, dealing out such
home-grown medicine, would end
up in jail quicker than the perpetrators.
One sinister note did emerge as
I drove down a street of detached,
very expensive houses. All the cars
parked at the roadside had had their
windows precisely smashed; obviously, great care had been taken to
avoid damage to any bodywork.
Such fastidious execution had an
exact message—down with the
bourgeoisie. Only a disciplined and,
in this instance, left-wing organisation could translate lawlessness
into a so-called political statement.
I know Denver has suffered similar

Dolores, at Number 2, and I had

By Seth Hensley
Service in Japan
As a university student, I was
among a whole lot of us who
thought we knew more than average about what the world was
about and what was wrong with it
and how to go about fixing it. Of the
lot I spent the better part of my time
with, I suppose we were not radicals but rather closet communists. It
was ironic, as our mentor teacher’s
main area of research involved a
methodical defense of the notion
that the basis for human freedom,
in the political sense, was governed
by the freedom to compete. This, as
you may recognize, is the basis for
capitalist theories of how economies flourish.
It seemed to me when I was
young that, if people realized that
by cooperating that they could
build much more much faster, all
the folly of war and destruction
would be laid aside by all. Alas, the
notion of our forefathers, to make
desire work against itself toward
unity, is a notion that takes better
into account the nature of human
beings: People want to win, work
to beat out others, and take pride in
accomplishments that forge ahead
of what others have yet even conceived. The recently retired Steve
Jobs is a latter-day exemplar of this
mentality.
So it was that, when I came to
Japan, I still regarded “business”
as the field of those who were
unenlightened, quick to quarrel,
and essentially enemies. Then, one
day, after about a year or two of
teaching conversational English, I
was asked to substitute for a class
learning “business” English. All
right, I thought—another challenge
has come my way; I’ll take it. I had
already been well bruised by my
Canadian lesbian boss of terror
(not that I have anything against
Canadians, lesbians or women
bosses) into making my lessons
more lively and sellable at this point.
I’d gotten used to the idea that I
would have to cut and scrape out
my own niche.
The first lesson I taught was
about the language of confirming
arrangements. The example situation involved a delivery of desks
or beer or other sorts of goods, and
there was some sort of problem
with the amount or cost or date of
delivery that the students had to do
role-plays to work out. As I watched
them struggle to use their limited
language skills to make arrangements or press matters toward
agreement, it struck me that business was not evil, in essence, but
just involved a massive amount of
work and dedication.
Years later, as I made a summer
journey home, I noticed that the
man in the plane seat next to me
was reading the current issue of
The Economist. I commented that I
thought it was the last respectable
news magazine, with a level head
and roughly 1000% less sensationalism than either Time or Newsweek,
and we struck up a conversation
about our academic backgrounds.
It turned out that he had had much
the same opinion as I had, as well
as the same undergraduate major:
philosophy. Now, he worked to
link up international corporations
in trade deals and had to keep up
on news of businesses and nations,
of economies local, regional, and
worldwide.
“Business is just the modern
means of getting things and services to people who want them,”
he said. In slightly more sophisticated language, it’s the dominant
paradigm of our age.
What I really wanted to write
about is the quality of service in
Japan. If you’ve ever been to a
really good hotel and felt that no
one treated you with contempt; if
you’ve ever been to a good restaurant and felt that the waiters really

conversely, if you’ve ever been in a
fast-food joint where you felt that
for myriad reasons that the servers
hated you… then you’ll appreciate
the meaning of good service.
You’d be absolutely flabbergasted
by the way people treat people in
this country. Even at McDonald’s,
customers are treated like minor
royalty. You get a bow before you
order and after you pay. At the
simplest supermarkets and convenience stores, the fact that you
are bringing money to the establishment is recognized as the very
lifeblood of the organization, and
you are greeted with sincere kindness and, at the very least, a few
words of greeting and a few more
of thanks.
One of our great American business leaders, Harry Beckwith,

Are These Broncos for Real?
Here we go again—another
Denver Bronco season. Will it be
one of excitement and enjoyment, or
one of sorrow and disappointment
like last year. I don’t know about
you, but I sure don’t think I can go
through another one like last year.
Last year was like getting kicked in
the teeth and then getting one in the
gut just for good measure.
As the preseason comes to an
end, we have seen some glimmers
of hope and some things that could
make this season not so deplorable.
It’s nice to see a defense that can
actually get to the quarterback and
make them get out of the pocket.
And, this sacking of the quarterback
is another thing we weren’t accustomed to last year. Watching the
opposing QB crumple under Elvis
Dumervil and our new linebacker
Von Miller is awesome! They’re a
couple of bookends that will be fun
to watch; we can hope they turn this
defense around.

WW II Vet
This venerable and much honored WW II vet is well known in
Hawaii for his seventy-plus years
of service to patriotic organizations
and causes all over the country. A
humble man without a political
bone in his body, he has never spoken out before about a government
official, until now. He dictated this
letter to a friend, signed it and
mailed it to the president.
Dear President Obama,
My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December 13 of
this year. People meeting me for
the first time don’t believe my age
because I remain wrinkle free and
pretty much mentally alert.
I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in
1934 and served proudly before,
during and after WW II retiring as
a Master Chief Bos’n Mate. Now I
live in a “rest home” located on the
western end of Pearl Harbor , allowing me to keep alive the memories of 23 years of service to my
country.
One of the benefits of my age,
perhaps the only one, is to speak
my mind, blunt and direct even to
the head man.
So here goes.
I am amazed, angry and determined not to see my country die
before I do, but you seem hell bent
not to grant me that wish.
I can’t figure out what country
you are the president of.
You fly around the world telling
our friends and enemies despicable lies like:
“ We’re no longer a Christian nation”
“America is arrogant” - (Your
wife even announced to the world,”
America is mean- spirited.
“ Please tell her to try preaching
that nonsense to 23 generations of
our war dead, buried all over the
globe who died for no other reason
than to free a whole lot of strangers
from tyranny and hopelessness.)
I’d say shame on the both of you,
but I don’t think you like America,
nor do I see an ounce of gratefulness in anything you do, for the obvious gifts this country has given
you. To be without shame or gratefulness is a dangerous thing for a
man sitting in the White House.
After 9/11 you said,” America
hasn’t lived up to her ideals.”
Which ones did you mean? Was
it the notion of personal liberty
that 11,000 farmers and shopkeepers died for to win independence
from the British? Or maybe the
ideal that no man should be a slave
to another man, that 500,000 men
died for in the Civil War? I hope
you didn’t mean the ideal 470,000
fathers, brothers, husbands, and a
lot of fellas I knew personally died
for in WWII, because we felt real
strongly about not letting any nation push us around, because we
stand for freedom.
I don’t think you mean the ideal
that says equality is better than
discrimination. You know the one
that a whole lot of white people
understood when they helped to
get you elected.
Take a little advice from a very
old geezer, young man.
Shape up and start acting like an
American. If you don’t, I’ll do what
I can to see you get shipped out of
that fancy rental on Pennsylvania
Avenue . You were elected to lead
not to bow, apologize and kiss the
hands of murderers and corrupt
leaders who still treat their people
like slaves.
And just who do you think you
are telling the American people
not to jump to conclusions and
condemn that Muslim major who
killed 13 of his fellow soldiers and
wounded dozens more. You mean
you don’t want us to do what you
did when that white cop used force
to subdue that black college professor in Massachusetts , who was
putting up a fight? You don’t mind
offending the police calling them
stupid but you don’t want us to
offend Muslim fanatics by calling
them what they are, terrorists.
One more thing. I realize you
never served in the military and
never had to defend your country with your life, but you’re the
Commander-in-Chief now, son. Do
your job. When your battle-hard-

ened field General asks you for
40,000 more troops to complete the
mission, give them to him. But if
you’re not in this fight to win, then
get out. The life of one American
soldier is not worth the best political strategy you’re thinking of.
You could be our greatest president because you face the greatest
challenge ever presented to any
president.
You’re not going to restore
American greatness by bringing
back our bloated economy. That’s
not our greatest threat. Losing the
heart and soul of who we are as
Americans is our big fight now.
And I sure as hell don’t want to
think my president is the enemy in
this final battle...

The offense, on the other hand,
has not been as up to speed as I’d
hoped they would be. It’s evident
that the lack of summer camps hurt
the offense and its timing. The one I
think it hurt most was Tim Tebow. He
could have used the reps to become
better at staying in the pocket and
working his pro game. The surprise
that’s nice to see is the change in
Knowshon Moreno. He has come
back stronger and healthier and
looks like he has a mean streak in
him; a man with something to prove
is always fun to watch. Depth will
be the killer for this side of the ball,
since the second- and third-string
offensive line have looked weak
and cannot hold the pocket. John
Fox has been a breath of fresh air
that Denver needed. Strong on his
player relationship and openness
to let everyone compete for their
job has sure made many players
take notice. Everyone knows that
his job is on the line again, and that
makes it more exciting just to watch
so far. I’ve enjoyed the toughness he
has brought to the team; that has
been evident on the defensive side
of the ball. If he can keep these guys
motivated and working their best,

the Broncos might even win a few
more games this season.
What is going to hurt this team?
Well. It may be injuries. They must
build depth on this team, and I
hope they can do this through
the waiver wire and some key
free agents when the cuts happen in early September. The
other thing against the Broncos
is their schedule. They are playing a tough NFC division, and the
AFC has improved in the West.
Kansas City and Oakland aren’t
pushovers anymore, and that is
going to make the Broncos have
to work harder. Denver only has
one or two teams that could be
considered easy this year. They
must win at home and catch a few
on the road. It’s their only hope.
The QB controversy may die out
also, so that they don’t have that
swooping over Orton, Tebow and
Quinn’s heads all season. That
can hurt playing ability, if every
week you’re so into not making
mistakes because you might lose
your job the next week.
Am I excited for this year? Yes!
Even if they don’t win the division
or a wild card seat, the Broncos
are going to put on a show for us
this year. And, no, I am not talking about a circus like last year.
So, dust off your jersey, get beers
chilled, stock up on chips and dips,

Moldy Marijuana is NOT a Myth
By Shannon Gass
A recent discussion with an
otherwise educated person
reminded me how uneducated
he was about marijuana. This
was not someone who was taken
in by ‘reefer madness’—quite
the opposite. This is someone
who had smoked it from the
wild of Mid-Plains America as
a youth. He assured me, Moldy
Marijuana was a Myth.
I did not punch him. But I did
punch his ignorance with my
truth-fist. See, it makes sense
that, in order for marijuana to be
accepted as cannabis, let alone
as a medicine, there’s a need to
educate the general public. But it
doesn’t make sense that there is
little to no education for medical
marijuana patients, especially on
why it matters whether cannabis
is free from contaminants.
For starters, moldy marijuana
is not a myth. A recent study
published in the Mediterranean
Journal of Hematology and
Infectious Diseases suggests that
chronic pulmonary aspergillosis is a genuine health hazard.
CPA results when a person consumes moldy marijuana daily. In
a person with a compromised
immune system, the result can
be deadly.
Meanwhile, on a recent Web
blog for marijuana cultivation,
I found postings where persons
promoted deliberately inducing mold to get “higher.” Only a
few knew to debate that the efficacy of mold in getting oneself
higher was not the “high” or
medicinal effect being sought.
Remember, if all you’re seeking is to “get high,” there are
considerably less expensive
methods to get straight to the
point. Get a brown paper bag
and can of paint spray and huff
away—surely, it will remind
you of the really dank stuff
covered with white powder.

Tipton was a man for the people,
as he is certified by the Supreme
Court of the state of Colorado to
be a caregiver and cultivator of
medicinal cannabis. Tim stands
about six-feet-four, has long blond
locks in a ponytail, perfect for the
Colorado summer heat. Tim is well
known in the MMJ community and
a respected advocate of marijuana
for medicinal purposes across the
Front Range.
I was able to sit down with
Tim recently on a quiet Sunday
afternoon and discuss his dedication
and perspective. Tim’s outlook and
what the future looks like from his
vantage point are important, just as
his advice and consultation is sought
throughout the MMJ industry and
community. As Colorado continues
its lead in dispensaries and related
businesses per capita, Tim Tipton’s
unrelenting passion, blood, sweat
and sometimes tears, along with his
voice, have been monumental.

Regulation, Legalization & Medical Cannabis
0By Sharlene Woodruff
COLORADO–There is a huge
voice in the medical cannabis
community that speaks loud and
clear, when it comes to the rights of
patients, their privacy and the right
to cultivate and consume marijuana
in its many medicinal forms. Tim
Tipton hails from Detroit MI, moving to Colorado in 1999. After getting involved with patients’ rights
at the grassroots level in Colorado,
Tipton has since become a Certified
Patient Advocate & Caregiver by the
Colorado Supreme Court.
He currently provides much
needed homeopathic services to
cancer patients through his Rocky
Mountain Caregivers Cooperative
based in Steamboat Springs, which
has over 1,000 empowered patients
from Fort Collins to Pueblo,
working behind the scenes helping
each other. As well as being an
active member and teacher for the
Cannabis Therapy Institute, Tim is
always there. He stands up for each
every right voted into law by

in 2008, as they relate to medical

I had the pleasure of meeting
Tim at Round 1 of the “Great
Legalization Debates of 2011” held
in June. Immediately I knew Tim
A. Under the Colorado State
Constitution, there is no law that
says people must register once a
recommendation has been given
by a doctor. It’s in the section that
speaks to the legal protection of
citizens.
