Does the Economy Make it Difficult
to Afford your Prescriptions
County & City offer all residents
free discount cards to reduce cost
of medications.
If you buy prescriptions that
aren’t covered by insurance, you
already know how expensive they
are. But what if you could get an
average 20% discount on most
medications?
That’s exactly what a free, local
prescription discount card can save
you. The card—available through
Mesa County and the City of Grand
Junction—offers significant savings
for the uninsured and underinsured.
Even people who have prescription
coverage can use the card to save
money on drugs that their health
plan does not cover. The cards are
available to all county residents.
“Cardholders and their families
can use the card any time their prescriptions aren’t covered by insurance,” according to Janet Rowland,
Chair of the Board of County
Commissioners. “And there is no
cost to taxpayers for making these
money-saving cards available to our
residents.”
Using the card is as easy as using
a coupon. Simply show it to your
pharmacist. There is no enrollment
form and no membership fee. There
are no restrictions on how often you
can use it.
Discount cards are available at
these locations:

underwriters strengthen strong
local support from businesses...
Since its founding in 1999, underwriting at KAFM Community
Radio has played a key role in
funding. A new team of underwriting specialists at KAFM is forging
an increasingly strong relationship
with local businesses.
“Hundreds of businesses and
organizations have chosen to
spend some of their promotional
dollars with KAFM over the last
decade. It turns out that those ‘nonadvertising’ dollars are some of the
most effective promotional expenditures in their budgets,” said
KAFM’s Executive Director, Marc
Foster. “Underwriters tell us all the
time that their customers express
their appreciation for support of
KAFM.”

Fairgrounds Shining
as Never Before!
Recent renovations increase
usability & safety, improve appearance of the property.
A project to renovate one of the
oldest and most-used parts of the
Mesa County Fairgrounds is now
complete. Several structures that are
more than 30 years old have been
either replaced or renovated in the
equestrian area on the east end of
the property.
“This was the first significant
renovation to the Mesa County
Fairgrounds in decades,” said
Janet Rowland, Chair of the Board
of Commissioners. “We’re thrilled
that this much-needed project was
done on time and on budget—and
that the new facilities are now open
for business.”
“With construction costs currently as low as they are, it made a lot
of financial sense to do this project
now,” said County Commissioner
Craig Meis. “We really got our money’s worth, and put some significant
dollars to work in our community
at the same time.”
County officials expect the additional amenities to increase use of
the Fairgrounds, and bring new
users into the facility. “The equestrian and livestock areas are some of
the most heavily-used parts of the
fairgrounds,” according to County
Commissioner Steve Acquafresca.
The highlights of the project are
a new 75-stall barn and a 40-foot
extension of the covered arena. The
project includes:
•
A new 17,550 square-foot
metal barn, which replaced six
aging stall barns that were in disrepair. The new building includes 75
animal stalls and upgraded electrical systems throughout.
• Extension of the existing covered arena, improving the arena
footing, and adding a new competition area. This will allow for additional uses of the arena.
• Creation of a designated parking area with lighting designed for
safety.
• A new arena show office for
show organizers, a designated vendor area with electrical hookups,
and new low-water-use landscaping.
• New fencing and improved
footing for the enlarged warm-up
arena.
Funding for these improvements
came from the Mesa County Capital
Fund. Dollars from this fund are
required to be spent on capital projects, and are not allowed to be spent
on other county operations.

Summer 2011 is almost in our rear view mirror. We are fortunate that
we haven’t been beaten up by multiple 100+ degree days. Those kind of
temperatures can make my office extremely uncomfortable.
I had an opportunity to take a quick vacation to Northern California
to visit my brother and his family. The trip was planned in less than a
week and executed via train and car. By the time we got there, I think my
mom and daughter wanted
to execute me for having
made the travel arrangements. Seventeen hours
travel time on a five-hour
late midnight train to Reno,
then another four hours via
car to the amazingly beautiful but largely unknown
area of Dorris, California.
Dorris is located roughly
six miles from the Oregon
border.
On June 2, 1996, this
small but energetic community raised a 30 ft. x 60 ft. American flag to fly atop a 200-ft. tall flagpole.
Located next to Dorris City Hall, America’s tallest flagpole (until 2002,
when a larger pole was erected in Laredo TX) garners immense interest
from travelers and residents alike. A community flag raising and barbecue are held
annually on the Fourth of July to honor all
veterans and active military who fight to
preserve the freedom we all enjoy.
My nephew has had the opportunity to
be a part of the team that carries the flag
and to hold the last corner of the flag before
it’s raised. This flag is 1800 square feet, and
the foundation for the flagpole is 25-ft. deep
and was filled with 104 yards of concrete!
When I see such a huge flag fly in a town
with a population of only 939, it gives me
great pride to be an American. Mt. Shasta 14,162 feet in elevation, you
can see to the south of Dorris. It is the second
highest volcano in the continental United
States. Dorris is located in Butte Valley,
where 60-70% of the world’s strawberry plants are grown. It’s really
beautiful country. If you ever take the time to check out this beautiful area, make sure you
stop and grab yourself a meal at the Hospitality Inn & Dinner House. This
place is beautifully designed and serves top-notch cuisine. People drive
over 30 miles one way to enjoy owners Jeff and Donna Burcher’s fine fare.
If you’re lucky enough, you’ll meet Jeff, and he’ll balance a baseball cap
on his nose for you!

Mesa County Libraries set checkout record in June 2011 Patrons of Mesa County Libraries
checked out and renewed a record
135,960 items during June, the most
ever during a one-month time span
at the libraries. Circulation during
June 2011 beat the previous onemonth record, set in June 2010, by
9%. Overall, for the first six months
of 2011, total circulation for Mesa
County Libraries was up by 10%
over the same period in 2010.
Circulation is the total number of
materials, including physical and
electronic items, checked out and/
or renewed during a certain period
of time.
The increase resulted from a
combination of factors, including
the opening of a new location for
the Fruita branch in February; the
increasing use of new locations for
Orchard Mesa and Clifton branches that opened in 2009 and 2010,
respectively; the variety of materials
available online and at library locations; event programming; and the
fact that in a slow economy, people
look for good value in reading and
other entertainment.
“People are realizing the library
has value. If they’re cutting back
on discretionary spending, they’re
finding the library has books and
DVDs and other resources,” said
Shana Wade, public services director for Mesa County Libraries. “I
think we’re reaching a broader
audience because of our programming. It seems like we’re getting
new people in who haven’t used
the library before.
A significant portion of the sixmonth circulation increase occurred
at the Fruita branch, which moved
Community
in February 2011 to a highly visible
location in the newly-built Fruita
Community Center. Six-month circulation at the Fruita branch jumped
55% from the same time a year ago,
from 42,576 to 65,848.
Circulation increases during
the first six months of 2011 also
occurred at the Central branch in
Grand Junction (up 4%), Clifton
(up 9%), Collbran (up 11%), and
Orchard Mesa (up 15%). Online
circulation, such as downloadable
electronic books, audio books, and
online renewals, increased 24% during the first six months of 2011, to
59,594 items.
Another significant factor
in circulation growth is Mesa
County Libraries’ participation in
Prospector, a unified catalog of academic, public, and special libraries
in Colorado and Wyoming. Mesa
County Libraries joined Prospector
in January 2011, giving patrons
access to 30 million items in libraries throughout the region. Materials
requested through Prospector are
delivered to the user’s local library.
Prospector is searchable through
the Mesa County Libraries Web site
at mesacountylibraries.org.
a huge crowd-pleaser at the

Catch the buzz about bees at
Mesa County Libraries
If you’ve ever thought about
backyard beekeeping, or if you’re
just interested in the bees that buzz
around your garden or farm, plan
to attend “Buzz about Bees” at 6pm,
Tuesday, Aug. 16, in the downstairs
program room of Mesa County
Libraries Central library, 530 Grand
Ave. in Grand Junction.
The program will be presented by
Gary McCallister, professor of biology at Colorado Mesa University
(formerly Mesa State College),
in conjunction with the Western
Colorado Beekeepers Association
and the Palisade International
Honeybee Festival. Those who
attend will learn about problems
facing the honeybee population,
whether beekeeping is for them,
and how they can get started in
beekeeping. There is no charge for
the program, and it is open to anyone with an interest in protecting
and growing the bee population,
including the agricultural community. Call Bob at 970-683-2437, for
more information.

Editor’s Note:
For members of
my family who
knew and marveled at Aunt
Doozy as I did.
I hadn’t seen Aunt Doozy in
years, but she was a legend in our
family. My favorite stories were
about her driving escapades. As a
girl, she’d demolished a buckboard
as she wrestled to regain control
of runaway horses. As a young
woman, she’d rolled a borrowed
Model A full of kids off the
Monument’s old Serpent’s Trail.
No one died in either incident, so
the stories were deliciously scary
and blissfully devoid of a moral.
I recounted the stories for
my sons as we tried to locate
Aunt Doozy’s trailer home on
the outskirts of Ogden, Utah.
Periodically I checked my rearview
mirror for my nephew, driving
a second carload of Colorado
family-reunioners. Our motel was
nearby, so we’d been sent to escort
by Gayle Meyer
DRIVING AUNT DOOZY
Aunt Doozy and Uncle Jake to the
reunion picnic.
It had sounded simple enough,
but the map a cousin had handed
me didn’t even have a ‘north’
on it; we’d circled in vain for
thirty minutes, and I’d begun to
suspect there were precious few
cartographers roosting in our
family tree.
When we finally found the
place, Doozy informed us that we
would drive them in their car, and
their son would drive them home
that night. Then, still fit and feisty
as a fist, Aunt Doozy clambered
into the backseat. My sons helped
lanky, frail Uncle Jake into the front
seat—it looked as if they were
trying to insert a praying mantis
in a matchbox.
“I fell asleep in my chair,” Uncle
Jake drawled with a good-natured
grin.
“Gayle, you know the way to the
park?” Doozy asked briskly.
“Uh, we take I-15?” I stammered,
startled that she’d singled me out
for driving duty. “Am I driving?”
I looked at my sons, brother and
nephew. They all shrugged and
backed away. I sighed and climbed
into the driver ’s seat of Aunt
Doozy’s decrepit ’67 Plymouth.
“She’s an old ’un but a good
’un,” Uncle Jake said, patting the
dusty dashboard. “I fell asleep in
my chair.”
Doozy paid him no mind.
“On I-15, take the Layton exit—
where the sign says Roy,” she
instructed.
“I’ve got this map,” I held it
up.
“Hmmph!” she snorted.
“Maps!”
Since I had the map (with my
pitiful hopes pinned all over it), I
led our Colorado caravan through
south Ogden (or was it west
Ogden?) to the Interstate.
I wasn’t thrilled about facing I-15
again. I’d been spooked driving
it through Salt Lake two nights
before, doing 80 just to keep up with
traffic. Two lanes flared to three,

right? Yes and no, think about it,
school was hard because you have
to please so many people—parents,
teachers, other adults and, most terrible of all, other kids. The kids these
days are going to school for seven
to eight hours per day five days per
week, and they have to think. Most
of the adults I know have a hard
time with the thinking part…
What can we do to help? Patience,
(still working on this one, myself,
just ask my wife Brandy), love, and
good fuel—fuel for their minds,
souls, and bodies.
We have a choice to let our kids
eat nutritionally deficient foodstuff
or real, recognizable, delicious
food.
“SHUT THE FRONT DOOR! I
don’t have time, I have to be at work,
I have to run kids to school, and I
can’t even eat breakfast myself!”
Well, I say to you, you can make
the effort! And every effort toward
better health makes the next one
easier. You have to be an example for
your children. Personally, I
look like a extremely large,
round-faced nerd when I
wear my bike helmet; but if I
don’t wear mine, what does
that look like to my kids? I
want my children to realize
the risk and make intelligent
decisions regarding keeping themselves healthy and
safe. Make good choices,
and teach your children to
make good choices, and live, laugh,
love!
Oh, and about the breakfast
thing… I am serious: You can make
breakfast quick and easy without
eating sugary, processed trash.
my son and nephew driving the
Colorado cars. Well, I didn’t really
lose them. Stopped at a light just
below the exit ramp, I looked
across the intersection and saw
both cars set to turn—in the wrong
direction—before my green light
cycled again.
“How the bleepity-blankety did
they get past us and end up over
there?” Doozy demanded. She
brought a fist down on the back
of the front seat, and we choked
and sneezed in the sudden poof
of dust.
I honked and employed
all kinds of gestures, some obscene
and a couple I conjured on the
spot. No one in either car noticed
me. They turned the wrong way,
hapless and mapless, and I had
to chase them, when the light let
me.
The chase took another thirty
minutes, with Aunt Doozy cussing,
by turns, the family map and
young-bleepity, whipper-blanketysnapper, out-of-town, bleepingknow-it-all drivers, while Uncle
Jake amiably broadcast that he’d
fallen asleep in his chair.
By t he t ime we became a
caravan again, we’d circled our
park destination twice. Each time,
Aunt Doozy made noises about
my dropping her off at the park,
and I entertained the fantasy of
slowing slightly and doing just
that. Hard!
We all arrived safely, and
most of us were still sound. For
appreciative audiences throughout
the afternoon, Aunt Doozy praised
my driving. She seemed proud of
me in some blood’s-thicker-thanwater way.
Nursing my adrenaline
hangover, I let her go on, since the
story got better with each telling.
I just sat down next to Uncle
Jake, and we fell asleep in our
chairs.

then three lanes funneled suddenly
to one through construction areas,
that lane flanked by high cement
walls that activated my heretoforelatent claustrophobia. When we
finally arrived at the motel, I asked
my son Dev, then 20, if I’d scared
him.
“The only thing that would’ve
scared me more than riding with
you was driving it myself,” he’d
shuddered.
Doozy’s old Plymouth chugged
and choked as I accelerated on
the steep, circular merge ramp to
I-15. Wind at the open windows
thrummed jungle rhythms on my
eardrums.
“Give it more gas, girl!” Aunt
Doozy hollered. I floored it.
Nothing. The Plymouth strained
to do 60. As cars flew past, I
estimated my necessary merge
surge at just a tad under warp
speed.
“Go, girl, go!” Aunt Doozy
urged.
I stomped the accelerator and
leaned into the huge steering
wheel. A semi-trailer truck loomed
large on my left as my merge lane
began to disappear.
Selected scenes of my life—the
really poignant ones—flashed
across my windshield. I could hear
horrid screeching, but it stopped
when Doozy clapped her hand
over my mouth.
Committed to the merge, I
slammed my foot down with
ridiculous force, fully expecting
to feel pavement tear the tread off
my flip-flop.
The semi seared past us, deftly
shaving chrome off the doors—
and miraculously sucking us in its
wake onto I-15!
“Well, that’s one way to do it,”
Aunt Doozy commented at the top
of her lungs…

never knew which—I lost both

G r a n d
Junction, along
with nearly
every city in
the world, has
a problem with
the homeless; and a number of the
more guilty among us are now worrying about what to do for those
homeless. I look at the homeless
in the same light as I looked at the
marijuana users who attended meetings to try to get the city council not
to ban pot shops. Yes, there was a
woman in the group who made a
legitimate case for marijuana use.
She had some hard-to-treat form of
epilepsy, and marijuana helped her
maintain a more normal life than
she had with other drugs. The lady
made a convincing case and became
the poster girl for the pot shops, but
the question is this: Was she typical of the people using pot? Did
the thousands of other people who
suddenly developed illnesses that
were treatable with pot have similar
legitimate reasons to smoke pot?
The homeless problem can be
looked at in the same manner. Yes,
there is, indeed, a small percentage
of people who are homeless for
reasons beyond their control, and
they definitely need society’s help;
but for each of them there are hundreds who are homeless by choice.
I drive by the Bum Café, where the
elves used to make cookies on First
Street, a few times a day, and I see
the people lining up for the free
food. I work next to the park on

Bollan’s Beefs
Apple Justice
in the Brave
New West
The bespectacled young
philosophy professor seemed
totally happy with everything I
said in my paper on social justice
until I mentioned the apple. This
hypothetical apple, you see, is
just hanging on some tree—a tree
belonging to no one in particular-and it is equally desirable to two
people. Both parties say they want
the apple, so how do we decide who
gets it?
In the paper, I basically dismissed
the problem by saying that we could
just make up rules to decide who
gets the apple--maybe majority vote
or a coin toss. The professor didn’t
like how I breezed by this problem.
In red ink he scribbled, “This is the
problem, isn’t it?—what to do with
this apple.”
Jim Stiles’ book, Brave New West,
neatly exemplifies the apple problem. The apple in Brave New West is
Moab and the surrounding canyon
country. Stiles doesn’t like what has
happened to canyon country in the
past few decades. He believes the
area has been irretrievably damaged
by interests each wanting the apple
but each having a different view of
what to do with the apple.
Stiles came to Moab in the mid
1970’s and became immediately
enchanted with the beauty and the
people. He was a ranger at Arches
for ten years. He was a friend of
author Ed Abbey. In 1989, Stiles
began publishing The Canyon
Country Zephyr, one of the best
magazines in the West. The Zephyr
propounds the intrinsic value of the
beauty of canyon country and introduces its readers to colorful locals
who, like Stiles, love the area.
In this very conservative part
of Utah, Stiles has, at times, been
viewed as a radical, supporting
such extreme causes as the restoration of Glen Canyon. Truth is, however, Stiles is just a smart, friendly
guy who lived in Moab because he
loves the place. His friends are not
all intellectuals or radical environmentalists. They are, like Stiles,
mostly just small town folks who
love the area and want to protect
and preserve it.
So this is the apple Stiles wanted.
But other people also wanted this
apple just as much as Stiles and
were more effective than Stiles at
getting their teeth into it. So Brave
New West concludes with Stiles
abandoning Moab and moving to
Monticello, sixty miles down the
road.
And who were those who also
wanted the apple as much as Stiles?
It’s an assortment of interests.
First, the hundreds of thousands of
tourists who roll through Arches
National Park every year wanted the
apple. So did dozens of out-of-town
professional guides who are paid to
take tourists on adventure tours to
remote places that Stiles considers

chosen deliberately?
I have a friend who works as a
counselor for a group that helps people. She very discreetly described to
me a man and woman she was trying to help who lived in a tent by
the river with three dogs. The man
had cut his leg in a strange accident
while chopping wood and was in
the hospital when she was assigned
to help him and his wife. She said
she spoke to them about some assistance to get them out of the tent and
into a house or apartment, and the
thing that struck her most was that
they simply did not want it. They
were perfectly happy living the
lifestyle they’d chosen; they’d realized there are a multitude of local
programs where they could get food
and clothing without working at all.
My friend said the man and his wife
were almost condescending toward
her, as if they’d figured it all out and
she had not, because she had to go
to work every day. They didn’t want
to rejoin society. They just wanted
society and the hospital to fix his leg
so they could take their dogs and go
back to their tent by the river.
Can you help someone who
doesn’t want help? Perhaps the
larger question is: Should you pour
money down an endless drain when
there are legitimately needy people
who could benefit from society’s
largess?
There are phenomenal projects,
such as the Marillac Clinic, that
help people who are trying to get
by and having problems affording
medical care. I’m sure Marillac treat
bums, also, but I think most bums
just end up at the emergency room,
and the hospital has to pay to heal
them enough to get them back into
their tent. Let’s put our money into
projects like Marillac.
In books written in the thirties
and forties, the bum problem was
often solved by a bunch of townspeople with baseball bats who
moved the bums on down the line
so they became someone else’s
problem. The fact that towns still
have the same problem eighty years
later says it will probably always
be here.
We just need to face the fact that,
as the boat goes down, you can’t
save anyone who won’t even try to
swim for himself. By Jack Bollan
[email protected]
chantment is complete; he moves
on; book is closed.
Two people want the same apple.
The apple belongs as much to one
as to the other. How do we decide
who gets it? I mean, was Stiles
treated unjustly here?
Years ago, spandex-uniformed
yuppies turned Moab into a hip
adventure destination. The result
was an influx of people and money
into this once quiet, remote rural
area. The ensuing changes have
been dramatic; the cultural and
natural environments have been
irretrievably damaged.
But that’s the way of the modern world, whether you’re talking
Moab, Telluride, LA, or Shanghai.
Unaddressed population-related
issues and the sort of general smallmindedness of the species promise
a near future of all kinds of these
and much worse consequences for
humankind. Too many people want
the same apple, and we have decided to settle the issue using sophisticated but possibly wholly inadequate democratic mechanisms.
So, is it fair to Stiles that he didn’t
get the apple that was Moab? -- Of
course it is! It is a shame that a
smart, globally-thinking guy like
Stiles loses to people whose priorities are money or extreme adventure without regard to the greater
good. But it is fair.
That is, it is fair as long Stiles is
never forced over a cliff by the bad
choices of such people. And unless
we better address population issues,
there is plenty of reason to think
that we may all end up being swept
over a cliff.
sacred—or at least very special--and
which places would have remained
mostly unknown and untouched if
not for these guides.
Also vying for the apple are
hordes of mountain bikers, jeepers,
four wheelers, and rock climbers
that are being enticed to come to
Moab by the promise of adventure,
not of solitude and communion
with nature. Will those who come
for adventure pay due respect to
the intrinsic beauty? Or will they
scratch their names over thousandyear-old petroglyphs and scar or
destroy priceless natural artifacts?
Finally, this apple called canyon
country is desirable to those who
see it as a way to make a buck. This
group sees the booming tourist trade
as a great opportunity. They see
Moab as a future Aspen or Telluride.
Moab became very chic in the 80’s
because of the taste for adventure
of the spandex-uniformed yuppies from the Eastern Slope and
California. Now these yuppies are
buying second and third homes.
And local folks and investors in
Moab offer them high-priced homes
and condos, and developers offer
them upscale housing in places with
names like, “Cloudrock”.
The success of this last group, the
out-of-town developers, seems to
have been the last straw for Stiles.
The closing remarks of Brave New
West seem to say, “I don’t like what
they’re doing, and I don’t like them.
They are, in themselves, the worst
environmental damage that has
been done to Moab.” Stile’s disen-

Instead, I see a group of mainly

or more a pack? How does someone who lines up to get free food
have five or six bucks to buy cigarettes? After the free lunch at the
Bum Palace during the week, many
of them move on up the street to
Whitman Park and spend the afternoon lying around in the sun getting drunk on the booze they buy
with money they beg from passing
motorists who are dumb enough to
pay them to be bums. Do they need
our help? I think the larger question is, would any amount of help or
money change a lifestyle they have

Jeffrey Inks from The Source
recently talked with Bash Jones
who is working with a local record
production company.
Bash Jones’ love for music started
when she was very young, and it’s
only intensified with age. As a child,
Bash began singing and performing for family and friends and was
immediately hooked, seeing the
praise that came with sharing her
unique gift. At the age of 16, Bash
and three friends formed an all-girl
singing group, “Majestic,” and performed locally in their hometown of
West Philadelphia. Inspired to write
her own music, Bash started putting
her melodies and words to paper.
Members of Majestic, however,
soon parted ways, and music took
a backseat as Bash focused on college and pursuing an education
from Bloomsburg University of
Pennsylvania. With two degrees in
hand, and even more determined,
Bash returned home and picked up
Bash is working with a local
record production company Wired
Media Corp who recently recruited
video director and 10 Fold founder,
Josh Crews to direct Bash in the
music video for her upcoming single release, “Shut Up.”
Crews is overseeing both set
production on location in Western
Colorado, as well as the post-production in his Los Angeles studio.

love mac-n-cheese. I love chicken Alfredo! I am a broccoli fanatic! I know
this is weird, but I love Italian salad dressing—it’s amazing, especially
with broccoli, celery, and cucumbers, o-m-geeeeee!
Goals: I like to think about my goals in increments. Of course, my ultimate goal is to be a very successful professional singer/songwriter; in
order for me to reach that goal, I set mini goals. My whole point of that
is to measure my progress in increments, so that I don’t have this one
single monumental goal. That way, even if I haven’t reached that
ultimate goal, I still feel like I’m slowly getting there. How much time did you spend in Grand Junction shooting
your new video? I got into Grand Junction on a Thursday and
left Sunday afternoon.
What song is the video for?
The video is for a song I wrote titled “Shut Up.” The title is
pretty aggressive, but the song is actually about getting to a
breaking point when you’re battling yourself, as in putting on
a smile or a facade on the outside to make it appear that you’re
okay on the inside, when you’re really breaking down. And you’re
telling your conscience, your feelings, “You mind shutting up and
letting me continue to pretend that everything is okay?!” The video
is going to be bananas; “it’s simply gonna be awesome.”
Did you have any extra time to explore Grand Junction?
Ummmm… Not really as we were so busy. I think the exploration
was actually driving into Grand Junction from Denver. I have never in
my life seen such beautiful scenery. The mountains were amazing. Where
we shot, on Glade Park was so beautiful and nostalgic. Other than the sites
for the video and photo shoots, I got to explore downtown, which was
very quaint and clean. I also went to Target to buy some candy, and while
I was there, the funniest thing happened. I still had the wacky makeup

Wired Media Corp and 10 Fold But maybe best of all, for me to be able to look at the naysayers and nonbelievers and say, “Now what?” agreed to accept the project.”
The video is scheduled for release
in the fall.
About Josh Crews: Josh Crews is
founder of 10 Fold Productions. He
made his directorial debut in 2009
with Austin’s Electro-Pop group,
Databoy. Prior to founding his own
company, Crews gained his production experience working with music
entertainment media giants, including MTV, VH1, Sony BMG and
Warner Bros. His most recent movie
credits include Harry Potter 7 and
the Green Hornet. Crews’ illustrious
music video clientele includes Alicia
Keys, Cee Lo Green, Jack White,
LCD Soundsystem, Jermaine Dupri,
and more.
For the music video shot in the
Grand Valley, Wired Media used
local dancers from Colorado Mesa
University, a local DJ company, a
local video/production company
and used several Grand Valley site
locations.
What have been your biggest challenges?
My biggest challenge was finding MY SOUND. With the help of my
producer, Rico, I’m finally making the music I feel really good about making, and that makes me feel proud when I listen to it. I’m so vain, if you
get in my car right now, my own music is always in my CD player. I like
to roll my windows down and blast it just so that, when I stop at a red
light or stop sign, I make folks listen to it. But other than that, it’s having
limited time. At no other point in my life have I wished that there were
more hours in the day. A challenge is trying to make time for everything
else that’s important to you in your life while trying to grind hard and
make your dreams and aspirations come to life.
Bash’s Producer Rico Da Producer adds: Since working with Bash Jones, I have seen an artist go from being a
singer who can write amazing songs to a powerhouse of an artist. She
will be the next big star, and nothing will stand in the way of her getting
there. I went with her on two different occasions to Universal Def Jam and
watched this artist grab the ear and build a relationship with A&R Rep
Lenny Santiago. He loves the direction and the sound of her music and
thinks she is a true artist. He believes in her so much that he is putting
9
right where she had left off. Bash
began honing her skills by working
with local producers and writers at
every opportunity as well as performing on the Philadelphia club
scene. Yearning to establish her own
lane, Bash took her love for pop and
urban music, fused them, and created her own unique sound with
her powerful delivery and witty
punch lines.
In 2011, Bash hooked up with
“Rico Da
Producer” and
they created
a n e n t i re l y
new sound
they coined
“dub-fi.”
Armed with
an innovative sound and
a new production team, Bash’s
writing and singing just clicked, and
she harnessed the
music thatshe felt best
defined her. Today, Bash
Jones prepares for the global
stage with a cutting edge EP that
promises to break new ground. A
true triple-threat and the complete
package in every sense of the word,
Bash Jones is a rising star. Through
hard work, perseverance and a deep
sense of purpose, Bash is bringing
her dreams to reality.

Sebastian Bach Quotes
I’m not this crazy drunk guy
you see on ‘SuperGroup’. I like to
be mellow sometimes. I like to read
a lot, and I’m actually starting to
write my first book. I have read so
many books and now I’m trying to
document this specific tour, because
it is fascinating!
“I had to get out of my record deal
that I signed with my previous band
and get a full solo record deal going
so, with all of the paperwork that,
that entails it did take a while.”
“I write my lyrics into the computer and I hum my music into the
dictaphone.”
“There is no singing anymore,
everything is yelling and shouting
and rapping and that is real boring
to a guy like me.”
Meat Loaf Quotes
“Rock n’ Roll came from the slaves
singing gospel in the fields. Their
lives were hell and they used music
to lift out of it, to take them away.
That’s what rock n’ roll should do take you to a better place.”
“I listen to everything just to
see what they’re all doing. I really
do. I listen to 50 Cent to Faith Hill.
Because I want to know what everybody’s doing, I just want to hear
it.”
“They expect the best that I
can give them on that night, ... It
all comes back from playing high
school football. There were a couple
of signs (in the locker room) and the
head coach misspelled a couple, but
that’s beside the point... . As you
went onto the field and you came
from the field, on both sides of the
door (there was a sign that said) 110
percent. And that’s how I relate to
that. Your job is to motivate the
audience...I have never failed on a
dead audience to get them alive...
If they’re dead, it’s my fault, not
theirs.”
Dee Snider Quotes
I went for an outrageous form of
expressing myself. It seemed to be a
way that I could make my name and
show that I was somebody.
“I do not believe profanity has
anything to do with Christianity,
thank you.”
Sully Erna of Godsmack Quotes
“I write what gets me off. If I
listen to a song and jump around
the living room with a broom in
my hand, I know that that will
trigger the same reaction in other
people.”
“A little bit of an influence is
there, but we don`t sound like Alice
in Chains, ... We`re influenced and
don`t lie about it, but everyone is
compared to someone.”

Kenny Wayne Shepherd
offers Great Album!
By Randy Raisch
When Kenny Wayne Shepherd
exploded onto the music scene
around 1995, he wasn’t even old
enough to buy a drink, but his style
was as genuine as anyone in blues at
the time, and he quickly etched his
place in the modern blues community. In fact, by the time he turned
21, he was opening for the Rolling
Stones. Talk about arriving...
Fast forward to 2011, and we find
Shepherd releasing his sixth studio
album—How I Go—containing seventeen tracks of unique blues-rock
blend covering the entire vibrant
landscape of his vast skill.
Shepherd’s anomalous range as
a musician and songwriter is on
grand display in this album, as he
moves back and forth among several different styles. If you were to
break it apart, you really have four
different kinds of music here. The album’s first track is “Never
Lookin’ Back,” which is Kenny
being Kenny in the most recognizable form. It’s strong blues guitar
played in gritty rock-and-roll style.
It’s groovy, it’s filled with tasty riffs,
and the vocal stylings of Noah Hunt
are as strong and soulful as ever.
The arrow strikes the bull’s-eye
here, and the other “modern blues”
offerings “Oh, Pretty Woman,”
“Round and Round,” “The Wire,”
and “Cryin’ Shame” all follow the
same pattern and are delivered with
the same accuracy.
A couple of tracks here lend
themselves to more of a “soul”
feeling. “Show Me the Way Back
Home” and “Who’s Gonna Catch
You Now?” are slowed-down pieces of perfection that really showcase Hunt’s bold, emphatic voice.
Kenny’s 1961 Fender Stratocaster
Shepherd has continued to mature
as a songwriter over the years, and
these are spot-on.
There are a handful of tracks
that are much more rock and
radio oriented. The bluesy-guitar
twangs are replaced with a more
straightforward instrumental
approach on “Come On Over,”
“Cold,” “Anywhere the Winds
Blow,” “Butterfly,” and “Baby, the
Rain Must Fall.” Any one of them
would make for great radio releases, which will probably keep this
album charting well the rest of the
year and beyond.
There are five tracks scattered
throughout that harken back to the
long-lost days of the blues. Call it
“old-school,” but Shepherd is mindful to pay his homage to the past.
“Yer Blues,” “Dark Side of Love,”
and “Heat of the Sun” all have that
throwback vibe to them. The best
of the bunch might be “Backwater
Blues,” a revamped version of the
classic penned by Bessie Smith in
the early 1900s. Shepherd and Hunt
stay respectful to the original, but
add enough of their own personalities to make it fresh. It’s a wonderful
rendition of a timeless song.
Final mention goes to the energetic “Strut,” which is the lone
instrumental track on the disc.
Shepherd lets it all hang out here.
It’s an up-tempo romp through the
Mississippi backcountry, accompanied by brush snare and piano
tickles that showcase this band as
a whole. It’s another win.
With so many different things to
enjoy here, it’s easily Kenny Wayne
Shepherd’s strongest effort to date.
What makes it accessible is the fact
that you don’t need to be a Rhodes
Scholar in the blues to appreciate
it. Sure, Shepherd drinks from the
delta for inspiration, but this has
enough of a contemporary, mature
sound to attract listeners from all
over.
And, somewhere, Stevie Ray
Vaughan is looking down and smiling.

Gateway Canyons sends off
Summer on a High Note
Labor Day BBQ Blues!
Gateway Canyons sings the blues

event on Saturday, September 3,
2011, over the long Labor Day weekend. The boutique resort, located
just an hour southwest of Grand
Junction, will feature the blues
rhythms of the acclaimed Hazel
Miller Band, as well as fireworks,
barbeque fare and arts and crafts
vendors.
With top-notch musical talent,
soul-satisfying food, and the stunning scenery surrounding Gateway
Canyons, it’s no wonder the BBQ
Blues event continues to grow every
year!
It’s almost Labor Day, and for
Gateway Canyons resort that
means it’s time to send off summer
with a New Orleans-style tribute—
blues tunes, impromptu dancing,
Southern-style barbeque and fireworks to end the season with a
bang.

September 3, Gateway Canyons’
third annual BBQ Blues gets
underway, featuring the incomparable Hazel Miller Band, as well as
other notable blues artists: Steve
Crenshaw, the Brian Hornbuckle
Band, the Dream Boats, and Little
Joe McLerran and Robbie Mack.
Other highlights include an artisan
craft and food fair and barbeque
served with all the fixins’.
“With top-notch musical talent,
soul-satisfying food, and the stunning scenery surrounding Gateway

for Mel Tormé, James Brown, the
Temptations, Earl Klugh, Bob James
and many more. Since moving to
Colorado, she has regularly shared
the stage with Big Head Todd and
the Monsters. Miller has performed
at major jazz venues and is the
recipient of many awards, including Best Independent Blues-R&B
Recording, Outstanding Performer

was singled out as one of 150 people

I don’t know if you noticed, but
21 June was 2011’s longest day; from
then on, the sun sets ever earlier,
and “it’s all downhill from here,”
as the man in our local off-licence
(or liquor store) always says. He
rubs his hands because boozy old
Christmas is just around the corner. But, as those of you familiar
with our temperamental London
weather know too well, a British
summer can be about as sunny as
a Malaysian monsoon.
I looked out of my office window
on a wet, grey summer morning
and saw Ronnie from No. 10, next
door to the right, washing one of
her four cars. It’s a curious pastime.
I have often spoken to her about it,
and I still don’t understand. It was
pelting down rain, and Ronnie was
soaking wet in her cream anorak
and hood. She poured buckets of
water over her dear, old Vauxhall
station wagon, got to grips with her
leather, and I swear she had a go
with the polish! Can you imagine?
But that’s the British stiff upper lip
for you.
Ronnie’s other hobby is men. She
is the most outrageous flirt I’ve ever
encountered. Since my wife Joanna
died, only the phlebitis in Ronnie’s
right leg has kept me safe.
When first Joanna and I moved to
Crossway in 2000, Ronnie’s divorced
husband often visited—to discuss
who owned the sofa, what else? He
was often in residence when dashing young Roy on his red Daihatsu
motorbike called. A couple of hours
later, our windows would clatter as
Roy revved up his scarlet racer and
headed for home. Exit ex-husband,
a little tousled, later. The Starland
Vocal Band, a one-hit wonder, had a
1976 hit about it, referring to “afternoon delight,” I believe.
Then there’s Derek, who arrives
every morning and leaves at sundown—but that’s another story.
Mrs. Selby, the deaf and blind
centenarian living alone across the
road at No. 7, has been moved by
her children to a care home. She
was fiercely independent to the
end. One day, from my window,
I saw through her open her front
door. There was Mrs. Selby flat out
on her hall carpet with a paramedic
crouched by her head. After a considerable time on his cell phone, the
medic’s colleague arrived, cleared
up, and away they drove—sent
packing by a very old but spunky
lady. After a couple of fretful weeks,
we were all glad to hear about the
care home.
A snapshot of Denver embedded
forever in my mind is those gleaming white trams shuttling endlessly
back and forth on 16th Street Mall.
That’s unthinkable on London’s
congested, medieval, twisty roads.
You have a public bicycle hire
scheme, so I read in The Source’s
April issue; we have a “Boris Bike”
system, too, named after our rather
florid Mayor, Boris Johnson, who is
desperate to avoid London’s threatened gridlock.
But, like so many knee-jerk
decisions made daily by our politicians and town councillors, his
off-the-cuff scheme has come to
haunt him. Boris’s blue cycle lanes
now not only take up over half the
city’s already congested road space,
but, coupled with the Congestion
Charge of a daily £10 ($16) to enter
central London, it’s turning what
used to be “good old Boris” into
“that two-faced bandit.” Can his
calculated buffoonery now overcome London’s drivers’ frustration
and guarantee re-election? Are you
doing things better in Denver? I
hope so.
Talk of rain brings me to the
open-air grass court Wimbledon
Tennis Championships (20 June4 July), whose patrons have been
our reigning (!) monarchs for over
a century. Princess Kate, Duchess
of Cambridge, just back from
California, is a keen player and is
expected to be a regular. Her fatherin-law, Prince Charles, prefers cars
and her grandmother; and the
Queen cannot see the point of the
game at all. Anyway, she’s usually
on horseback in one of her Royal
Parks when play starts. What is cer-
impeccable in a suit and collar and
tie when he took the kids to school.
He lived about a mile away in a
place called Greenford, an overspill for Southall, one of the most
densely Asian areas in London.
Whenever he saw me, he jumped
out of his car; or, if I wasn’t around,
he’d ring my front door bell, shake
my hand and say, “God bless you,
sir.” Nothing else, just that.
I really miss Ahmed.

Culture
The SOURCE
By Seth Hensley
Religion in Modern Japan
Most Japanese people consider
themselves irreligious. If anything,
they typically only admit to a vague
identification with the power of
nature and a sense of connection to
family members who have passed
away. Every once in a while, I have
found someone who will admit to
an implicit acceptance of reincarnation, but, by all appearances, people
don’t think about these things until
someone very close to them dies. At
this point, an in-home memorial is
set up.
There are actually two “driving
forces” in Japanese spirituality: the
nature-worshipping Shinto, and
Buddhism. You will find, as many
authors have already pointed out,
large red gate-like structures all
over the place, wherever there is
some sort of remarkable natural
phenomenon. These are known
as torii, and can be found under a
grove of cherry trees (the markers
of the arrival of spring), at a particularly lovely bay, or merely in
a shady spot with an outcropping
of unusual or substantial boulders.
These are sometimes accompanied
by what we refer to in our culture
as a shrine. This is a place where
one may ascend a few steps to a
platform, ring a bell, leave a donation for the priest and his family,
and pray.
Now that’s
SPAM
Funny!
This 19 year old ex-cheerleader now an Air Force Security Forces Sniper,
was watching a road in Pakistan that led to a NATO military base when
she observed a man digging by the road.
She engaged the target (she shot him). It turned out he was a bomb maker
for the Taliban, and he was burying an IED that was to be detonated when
a U.S. patrol walked by 30 minutes later. It would have certainly killed
and wounded several soldiers.
The interesting fact of this story is the shot was measured at 725
yards.
She shot him as he was bent over burying the bomb. The shot went
through his rectum and into the bomb which detonated; he was blown to
pieces. The Air Force made a motivational poster of her.
(Folks, that’s a shot 25 yards longer than seven football fields) and the
last thing that came out of his mouth .... was his rear! If You Can Not Stand
Behind Our Troops, please Feel Free To Stand In Front Of Them!!!!!
Isn’t freedom a great thing!?

Now, it may seem that we have a
great many denominations of protestant Christianity in our world, but
the divisions therein pale by comparison to the sheer number of sects
of Buddhism you can find here in
Japan. There are three major sects
of Zen, alone, and, as far as I could
tell, hundreds of others. The largest sect of Zen, Soto-shu, adheres to
the practice of meditation or zazen,
but there is no place for the koan or
mental puzzles that are so famous to
Westerners as typifying the Zen outlook (if a tree falls in a forest, etc).
How, you may ask, do all of
these people manage to get along
so well? I think that it is in the
Japanese people’s general tendency
to accept three or four principles
or understandings. One, the probability of reincarnation; two, the
absolute importance of karma in
one’s everyday life and also one’s
transmission to the next; three, the
recognition that when there was not
a unified power structure in Japan,
life was (literally) a bloody mess.
The name you’ll want to investigate
if you’re interested in this point is
Tokugawa Ieyasu, the man who
brought an end to internal strife
amongst clans across Japan. The tale
of his childhood alone is so filled
with murder, intrigue, betrayal, and
chaos that one may well imagine
it a miracle that the boy survived
beyond his teens. (Check the old
Tuttle biography by A.L. Sadler,
chapter: Takechiyo.)
Now, this is not to say that people don’t have their differences,
but largely the differences are left
at home, under the dust-mat. That
is, until recently, I guess. There is
an undercurrent of strife building along the lines of economic
inequality: private schools, big
houses, and the occasional
Lamborghini, Lotus, or Jaguar.
Still, it is more often the case that
people are merely openly envious
if you live in a “rich” neighborhood, and it’s left at that. People
see Ichiro Suzuki, Ken Watanabe,
and Haruki Murakami as national heroes, and anyone who has
attained wealth (roughly speak-
ing) is considered to have done
it by their own merit and thus
are worthy of it. Those of us old
enough to remember Karate Kid’s
Pat Morita’s Mr. Miagi’s telling Daniel-san that Sato’s family was the richest and therefore
this betrothal to his beloved (of
the poorest) was a good arrangement, however, would do well to
recognize that this is no longer a
common pattern: People in Japan
more and more marry along lines
of class compatibility and not
across them. I fear that this is a
sign that, in generations to come,
class strife may rear its ugly head
in a manner emblematic of the
Marxist view of the downfall of
the bourgeoisie.
Wouldn’t it be ironic if this sort
of revolutionary era came about
just as China readies to annex
Japan, Taiwan, and both Koreas
into its sphere of dominance or
even its nationality? To my children’s children’s children, I say:
Great Granddad told you to watch
out for those commies!
Lost in Translation!!!
Laughter is like a medicine........

I will never hear or see this word
again without thinking of this
joke.
Today’s word is...Fluctuations
I was at my bank today; there was
a short line.
There was just one lady in front of
me, an Asian lady who was trying
to exchange yen for dollars.
It was obvious she was a little
irritated . . .
She asked the teller, “Why it
change? Yesterday, I get two hunat
dolla fo yen.
Today I only get hunat eighty?
Why it change?”
The teller shrugged his shoulders
and said, “Fluctuations.”
The Asian lady says, “Fluc you
white people too”
and Advil is also called
Ibuprofen.
The FDA has been looking for a
generic name for Viagra.
After careful consideration by
a team of government experts,
it recently announced that it has
settled on the generic name of
Mycoxafloppin.
Also
considered were
Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin,
Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course,
Ibepokin.
A major Corp. announced today
that Viagra will soon be available
in liquid form, and will be marketed
by Pepsi Cola as a power beverage
suitable for use as a mixer..
It will now be possible for a man
to literally pour himself a stiff one.
Obviously we can no longer call
this a soft drink, and it gives new
meaning to the names of ‘cocktails’,
‘highballs’ and just a good old-fashioned ‘stiff drink’.
Pepsi will market the new concoction by the name of: MOUNT
& DO.
Thought for the day: There is
more money being spent on breast
implants and Viagra today than on
Alzheimer’s research.
This means that by 2020, there
should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge
erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.
If you don’t share this with five
old friends right away there will
be five fewer people laughing in
the world.
One of the courses had a professor
who was an avowed atheist, and a
member of the ACLU.
One day the professor shocked
the class when he came in.
He looked to the ceiling and flatly
stated, “GOD, if you are real, then
I want you to knock me off this
platform... I’ll give you exactly 15
min.”
The lecture room fell silent. You
could hear a pin drop. Ten minutes
went by and the professor proclaimed, “Here I am GOD, I’m still
waiting.”
It got down to the last couple of
minutes when the Marine got out of
his chair, went up to the professor,
and cold-cocked him; knocking him
off the platform. The professor was
out cold.
The Marine went back to his seat
and sat there, silently.
The other students were shocked
and stunned, and sat there looking
on in silence. The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken,
looked at the Marine and asked,
I was eating lunch back on the
20th of February with my 8-year-old
grandson and I asked him, “What
day is tomorrow?”
He said “It’s President’s Day!”
He is a smart kid. So, I asked”What
does President’s Day mean?” I
was waiting for something about
Washington or Lincoln ... etc.
He replied, “President’s Day is
when President Obama steps out
of the White House, and if he sees
his shadow we have one more year
of unemployment.”
You know, it hurts when coffee
spurts out your nose...
All drugs have two names, a
trade name and generic name.
Example, the trade name is
Tylenol and it’s generic name is
Acetaminophen.. Aleve is also
called Naproxen.
Amoxil is also called Amoxicillin
If you don’t know GOD,
don’t make stupid remarks!!!

It’s Not as Easy as it Looks
By Kevin LaDuke
Well, now that the NFL Lockout
is over, I can focus on other things.
No, not the NBA Lockout—that is
going to be a lot longer than the
NFL one—so we will talk about it
another time. We’ll have more editions out before we even have to
start to discuss it.
If you have read any of my articles in the past, you might have
picked up that I am a golfer. I love
the game, but I don’t get out to play
it as much as I wish to. Mainly, the
problem is that I just don’t have
the money right now to do that.
It does cost more lately, and it just
isn’t in my budget. Feeding my wife
and kids kind of wins out over my
playing eighteen holes. So, I wanted
to find a way to get out and walk
around to get some exercise and
still play golf. One solution came
to mind—disc golf. It has the word
“golf” in it, and I used to love to
throw the Frisbee around with my
friend Pagan all the time. Yeah, I
know it’s a funny nickname, but I
don’t have time right now to tell
you how he got it and who he is.
And I digress.
I luckily had a friend who decided
to take me out to Orchard Mesa. He
said he would teach me how to play
this game. Now, wait, this can’t be
that hard. In real golf, you have to
use different clubs; there are lots of
hazards on the course; if your swing
is off in any way it makes the ball go
in funny directions you had never
planned to, etc. All I have to do here
is throw the disc and put it in the
basket that looks like a snow cone
made out of chains. I’ve got this.
Piece of cake, and I won’t have the
stress of the other game of golf.
Well I wish that would have been
true. First off, the disc was not the
same as the ol’ Whammo one I used
to toss around in the grass on a nice
sunny afternoon. It is smaller and
feels different. Next, I had one disc
from my friend, but he carried several just like I would carry several
clubs in my golf bag. Something

The Soldier stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass..
‘Step forward now,Soldier ,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned
the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?’
The soldier squared his shoulders and
said,
‘No, Lord, I guess I ain’t.
Because those of us who carry guns,
Can’t always be a saint.
I’ve had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough.
And sometimes I’ve been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
And sometimes, God, forgive me,
I’ve wept unmanly tears.
I know I don’t deserve a place,
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around,
Except to calm their fears
If you’ve a place for me here, Lord,
It needn’t be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don’t, I’ll understand.
There was a silence all
around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod.
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
But, I never took a penny,
That wasn’t mine to keep...
Though I worked a lot of overtime,
When the bills got just too steep.
‘Step forward now, you Soldier,
You’ve borne your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven’s streets,
You’ve done your time in Hell.’
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear..

started to tell me that this was not
going to be as easy as I had thought
it would be. Luckily I did not take
my friend up on his lovely offer to
bet on the game. Finally, something
in my head worked, and I said let’s
play a little first. Yes, even I can have
a semi-intelligent thought once in a
while, thank you very much!
After the first throw, or shot, I
realized that this was going to be
different from my early expectations, and there was a lot to learn
about this. It takes strength on some
shots, and finesse on others. You
have hazards to work around, just
like in the real game; and you must
try and strategize where you want
to play. The disc doesn’t always go
where I expected it to, and you have
to then rethink what you are going
to do, just like the other golf game
I love.
This really was enjoyable. It had
all the aspects of the other game, but
with different twists. I also really
liked that you could enjoy a couple
cold ones in this sport while playing
it. Those seem to be the sports I like
best, for some reason.
There are several different courses around the valley, and some are
easier and some are more challenging and contain water hazards, too.
That is where I guess you can really
start to lose money when you start
to lose discs. I think I will stick to the
easier ones, until I get a little better
at this. So, if you haven’t realized it
yet, I think I kind of like this type of
golf, and I will put it into my arsenal
of games to go out and play.

regulations. Joffe responded
with her vast knowledge of the
MMJ industry and its many,
often confusing, laws. Many of
the questions that were asked
involved clarity in patients’
rights, such as the amount of
cannabis patients may purchase
at any dispensary on any given
day, and how many plants
caregivers are allowed to grow
for each patient. For Colorado, it
is 2 usable ounces and 6 mature
or immature plants. For those
who own dispensaries, the
majority of questions involved
surveillance and the “seedto-sale” concept as a working
practice.
The MMJ industry is well
aware that the state bombarded
them heavily on the regulation
side, yet they are determined to
push forward and are up to the
challenge. MMC owners also
realize they have a responsibility
to the communities they serve,
and the profit factor is just one
part of the medical cannabis
business in its entirety.

COLORADO—How patients
and caregivers can protect
themselves in this post-regulation
era was a major concern of those
who advocate for the rights, of
those who make up the medical
marijuana industry (MMJ), and
the community as a whole,
especially patients. July 1, 2011
meant many things to many
people, as Colorado is now
the most regulated of all of the
states where medical cannabis is
legal. All across the Front Range,
especially in Denver, medical
marijuana centers (MMCs),
cultivators and patients alike
were on edge as the government
put down its heavy hand on the
medical cannabis community.
The 77 pages of regulations set
forth not only set a precedent
for all the other 17 states, but
many believe gave the industry
a new look. The center you may
have visited prior to July 1 may
have had the best medicine for
your budget and been worth the
trip, but perhaps it wasn’t fully
compliant and now no longer
exists. I came across at least ten
that had to close their doors.
Not to worry—there are still
many dispensaries in Denver
and across the state that are
compliant, thriving businesses.
As recently reported by the
GI
10% Discount

Gift
New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE), medical cannabis is
expanding and currently is a $1.7
billion industry. I’m excited to
report that the company “General
Cannabis,” which provides
doctor recommendations for
medicinal cannabis and Internet
technology for the industry, had
its first public offering, CAN,A
selling for $3.08 per share as of
presstime. Keep in mind this is a
new and thriving industry, and
it’s not the first time Colorado
was a pioneer. Does anyone
remember the history of the
Pike’s Peak Gold Rush, later
known as the Colorado Gold
Rush?
While researching information
about the reactions and realities
of Colorado MMC owners post
July 1, I discovered an optimism
and even greater passion for the
industry for the coming years.
This led me to participate in a
teleclass this past week on just
how patients and caregivers
can protect themselves and
remain legal and compliant.

Want to make lots of money in
the medical marijuana industry
without touching the stuff? Have
you considered making and
selling cheaply made medical
marijuana products? All right,
now that you have considered it,
please don’t actually follow that
path. Because we’ll write reviews
about your product like this one,
and point out how cheaply made
it is. Here’s an idea: containers
should not shatter when you
put the lid on. I’ll describe the
situation as it happened, and
you’ll no doubt agree that this
was an unacceptable outcome.
The container is glass, pillbottle size with an airtight seal.
The container shattered when
the person put the lid on. The
lid placement was not done
as a gorilla would slam shot
glasses on a bar. This was the
equivalent of a sweet, little old
lady gingerly pushing down
on the lid to secure the airtight
seal. A gentle push, that was all.
And the sweet, little old lady
almost cut her hand on the
container that was meant to
make her life safer.

The medical marijuana
industry faces constant,
overwhelming obstacles. This
is an obstacle from the “inside”
and one that should be dealt with
swiftly, with conviction. Any
business that would participate
in the medical marijuana product
industry must be willing to meet
and exceed minimum health
and safety standards. Especially
when it is called “medical”
marijuana.
The company that
manufactured the glass
container that almost caused
injury was at least disingenuous
to not feature a brand name
on the container. Otherwise, I
would be mocking the company
by name. Meanwhile, the
wellness center from which
the container was obtained
has promised to discontinue
providing the product.
It’s not fun writing a negative
review, but it must be done.
Meanwhile, we’ll keep looking
for containers to
recommend
AUTHORIZED
that fulfill Colorado legal
requirements to be opaque
(not clear) and airtight (if an
officer standing next to you can
smell the MMJ, the container
is not sufficiently airtight).
