Great, I just landed a Telluride Festival for 1/2 page back page, possibly because of the glossy paper, $275 cash plus 2 ---2 day tickets worth $530, It’s the Ride Festival with a very rare, never before seen Pearl Jam in Telluride. I think the tickets can be sold easily. However Jade had told me she wanted to go to that festival to see a different band. So that is good news. Bad news is I’m behind, so I’m not making any bets or guesses on what time I’ll finish. I’ll let the chips fall where they may. Don’t Replace, Don’t Replace, Refinish!

YFU advances inter-cultural understanding, mutual respect, and social responsibility through educational exchanges for youth, families, and communities Grand Junction Symphony’s 1st Annual Cornhole Tourney Arguably the most widely-played lawn game in the United States over the last several years, cornhole has found a place in Western Colorado and the Grand Junction Symphony Orchestra has taken note. On Saturday, August 27th in Sherwood Park, the GJSO will hold its first ever team double-elimination cornhole tournament. The tournament begins at 1pm with team check-in at 12:30pm near the Sherwood Park picnic shelter in the middle of the park. Cornhole (sometimes known as bean bag toss) has players take turns throwing bean bags filled with corn at a raised platform with a hole in the far end. A bag in the hole scores 3 points, while one on the platform scores 1 point. Play continues until a team or player reaches a score of 21. The entry fee for a team of 2 is $50 and there is a 64 team limit. Each team will be guaranteed at least two games. Cash prizes of $250, $150 and $50 will be awarded to the 1st, 2nd & 3rd Place teams. This is a BYOB (Bring Your Own Beer) tournament. Since it is being held in a city park, no full strength beer or glass bottles are allowed to be brought in. Only 3.2% cans. Food and drinks will be available for purchase. A raffle will also be conducted throughout the tournament. Each entry is $5 and prizes include t-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, sunglasses, etc. from Palisade Brewing, Ska Brewing in Durango, Blue Moon, Miller Brewing and Coors as well as concert tickets and merchandise from the Grand Junction Symphony Orchestra and the Grand Junction Rockestra.

The opening reception is on Monday, August 8 from 3:30 – 5:30 p.m. The event is open to the public and complimentary refreshments will be served.

I’m still not used to the new school schedule. I guess I’m lucky I’m out of school. However, every day at the office it seems I get tested to learn new technology. We got a new printer at the office that challenged my sanity for about two months. I really was blown away at how many special settings I had to learn to get the best quality out of this printer. Now that I think I have it dialed in, I’m having a lot of fun printing out photos I’ve been taking of our back yard birds. I never would have thought that birds could be so entertaining. They like to swoop in every morning to wet their whistles in our pond. The next few months should be very entertaining and painful as we have to endure the home stretch of the presidential election. Unfortunately I’m hooked on the news every night and follow all the breaking stories, which appear to break about every ten minutes these days. I think we are in for more surprises than any of us are prepared for. I just hope that the folks that aren’t paying attention will wake sooner than later before this country changes forever. I randomly poll people I bump into on their opinion on the story of the day and at least 70% look at me and generally say, they have no idea what I’m talking about. It can be quite alarming! Try to be nice to your friends that don’t agree with you politically this season. I know it be very challenging to say the least. Sometimes I think that people that don’t agree with my politics are from a different planet. I’m sure they feel the same way about me. It’s fascinating that people that live in the same country can see things so differently. Let’s just hope that when the votes are all counted, everyone can still manage to get along at the next birthday party you bump into each other at.

Yes Friends & Fans… The Peaches are here!! While there is an abundant amount and variety of fruits and produce grown around the Grand Valley and Western Colorado, Palisade Peaches always seem to be what people are really waiting for… and they’re here! Stop by and of the numerous fruit stands along our highways and byways and grab some that were probably picked that morning. Now when I moved out here over 15 years ago, I liked peaches, but never really ‘got’ into them.. Yeah, that’s changed! One of the first contests I won with my cheesecakes was the 2006 Palisade Peach Festival Recipe Contest, with a Peach Decadence Cheesecake. One of the highlights in our summer months is the Palisade Peach Festival, The ‘Festival in the Park’ this year on Friday & Saturday, August 19th & 20th, at Riverbend Park in Palisade. I am very honored this year to be one of the coordinators of one of the highlights of the Peach Festival, The ‘Peach Cuisine with Colorado Chefs’ event. Some of the best chefs. Cooks, culinary students, Stay-AtHome Mom/Chefs and this year, even a young ‘chef’ who probably has forgotten more than I know! Some of the restaurants participating this year are No Coast Sushi, Café Sol, Warehouse 2565, Wine Country Inn with chefs from The Colorado Culinary Academy (the cooking school at CMU/WCCC) and yes, even from Decadence Gourmet. I have seen the recipes they will be demonstrating and even this jaded ‘cook from Jersey’ is amazed! Te Chef demos run on the hour on Friday, from 4 – 7 pm and on Saturday, from 11 am – 6 pm, so make sure to come on out, watch (and learn) from some amazing chefs & cooks and yes, you even get to • Managed Document Services • Managed IT/Network Services sample what they demo! So this week’s recipe is one of that I did last year at the Peach Cuisine event and oh-so-tasty…. “Peach Fondue! Yeah, you heard that right, Peach Fondue… See, I have learned since my moving here on how to use our peaches! And while we did mention these last month, they deserve another mention, The Farmer’s Markets throughout The Grand Valley. You want fresh produce, fruit and maybe some great ways to use them? Try talking to the folks who grow them! Palisade Sunday Farmer’s Market on Sundays, from 10 am – 2 pm, starting on Sunday, June 14th, on Tuesdays, we have a new market at Cross Orchards, and The Orchard Mesa Farmer’s Market at the Mesa County Fairgrounds, The Redlands Farmers Market on Wednesdays, Thursdays you have the Downtown Grand Junction Farmer’s Market and Fruita has a great Farmer’s Market on Saturdays.

I don’t know if my message ever got to Nickelodeon; I never received a response. Getting your Word’s Worth In the beginning was the Word. Unfortunately, no one wrote it down. Thus it came to pass that a multitude of languages proliferated, when God knows English alone would have been trouble enough. In latter days, phenomena called television, talk radio and Facebook flourished, providing self-proclaimed communicators (and the rest of us) an unprecedented audience for dispensing questionable logic, advancing biased arguments, manipulating fuzzy statistics and maiming the English language. When Twitter came along, the Tower of Babel was remembered as no more than an ancient syntactical snit. Also in those days, a lowly wordsmith lived, watching and listening. His heart ached for his beloved English, now muddied, crippled and rendered senseless by its supposed caretakers. He asked me to speak for him; I’m honored to do so. Here are the wordsmith’s current gripes: Before his Top Ten Grammar/ Language Gripes, I have one of my own. Sadly, here, the battle has been lost already. The objectionable word is “importantly,” as in “more importantly, most importantly.” People, PLEASE, there is NO “LY” on important! I know because I tried to use it in ninth grade, and a smart teacher set me straight. Not every adverb has an “ly.” The words “more important” and “most important” are already adverbial phrases—there is NO “ly” needed on “important.” However, as I said, it is already too late. Most of us are doing it wrong. But English is a living language, so what gets the most play usually get to stay. 1. “Et cetera, et cetera” Et cetera is a Latin expression meaning “and so forth and so on.” We use it to keep from having to detail like items with which most people are already acquainted. One et cetera is enough! Repetition voids its purpose, its effectiveness, its impact, etc. 2. “End Result” Result means “outcome.” A result means that some action is at an end. When you hear someone say end result, ask that person to report also the middle result and the beginning result. Perhaps people could get away with net result, but only accountants have any business talking that way. 4. “very unique, rather unique, a little bit more unique” Unique means “having no like or equal—different from all others.” Unique denies and defies modification; something’s either unique or it isn’t. If something is unique, there can’t be a second similar thing that’s uniquer or a third that’s uniquest. 5 . “ t h e re , t h e i r, t h e y ’ re ” Especially on Facebook, you’ll see people screw these up. “There” is an answer to “where?” “Their” means “belonging to them.” “They’re” is a contraction of “they are.” I saw a t-shirt that succinctly highlighted the differences in these words. It said, “There. Their. They’re not the same.” 6. “then, than” Here again, Facebook illustrates how daily usage dumbs down our language. Come on, people! Then refers to when something happens; than always lies between two things being compared. A while back, I read the packaging for Sponge Bob Square Pants headphones my granddaughter got from Nickelodeon, a company that supposedly champions learning. The text on this mass-produced, thoroughly edited (?!) copy used “then” when “than” was right. I sent an irate email to Nickelodeon pointing out the 7. “to, too, two” To is a preposition; too usually means “also;” two is a number. Is at least one generation of bad schooling to blame for this confusion? I don’t know. I invented a sentence that displays the difference in a few words: “Two children are too heavy to carry.” 8. “Closer scrutiny” Scrutiny means “a critical examination, a minute inquiry.” It indicates that, as investigations go, scrutiny is as close as you’re going to get. You may take longer to scrutinize, but that is further scrutiny, not closer scrutiny. 9. “some-odd” In her lilting, nasal voice, a news-reader reported that “fifty-some-odd” people were injured in a bus-train accident. I thought, “How odd were some of those people?” What the news-reader meant was that a group of people numbering between 50 and 60 sustained injuries. She could have said, “fifty-some” or “fifty-odd” people; although, if I were among the injured, I’d appreciate her giving the precise count, because I am one, I am important, and I am injured! In any case, some-odd is some odd usage. to callers with, “What’s good for the goose is good for both genders,” and “It’s always darkest before the light at the end of the tunnel.” He would then prattle blithely on in his unending mission to reiterate the obvious.

Clichés are as common as hair on an ape, and communicators used to avoid them like the plague. Actually, there’s nothing wrong with clichés. They’ve lasted because they carry kernels of truth and are effective shorthand for conveying ideas. Movie mogul Samuel Goldwyn, baseball great Yogi Berra, and “All in the Family” pater familia Archie Bunker were prime cliché butchers. Sometimes, when even slightly altered, clichés impart askew, new messages, as when a friend once meant to say, “There’s something rotten in Denmark” but said instead, “There’s something dismal in Bismark.” He also once described a dilemma he faced as “a two-pointed sword.” Years ago, a local talk radio host, trying to be hip and profound, routinely mutilated clichés. He replied Does your business take credit cards? How would you like to be charged less?

Three Reasons Not to Vote for Trump We are moving quickly toward the presidential election of our lifetime, the one that will most likely determine the direction the country will take for the rest of my life. The choice is fairly clear, a self-made businessman, or a lying political hack. America will make a choice between a man who took a mere million dollars and through hard work turned it into ten billion, or a woman who villainized other women that her husband raped for her own political gain. The choice is clear, but I learned from my father that liberals don’t have to clarify that choice. They don’t have to look at Hillary and explain the illegal server in the bathroom, or the millions that foreign powers paid The Clinton Foundation so she would look the other way while she was Secretary of State, or the $250,000 speaking fees the banks bribed her with to buy political clout if she became President. No, what they will do is find three reasons that they can’t vote for Trump, regardless how inane they are, and use them to justify voting for the most dishonest politician to ever emerge onto the political stage. It’s a tried and true trick, used over and over to justify voting for the lesser candidate in any race. We all know that many liberals are either inherently dishonest or not too bright, so pinning them down as to their voting logic is impossible anyway. But this trick takes away any reason for them to justify voting for the woman who stood by as Secretary of State and kept our military from saving the lives of the brave men in Benghazi, then concocted an enormous lie to try and shift the blame away from herself and lay it on some schmuck that posted an online video. Let’s don’t mention Benghazi, let’s talk about whether some statement Donald Trump made in 1985 may or may not have been politically insensitive to Jewish people. They won’t look at Hillary and Bill’s record of blatant abuse against women, instead they’ll focus on something Mr. Trump did in 1992 which may or may not have been sexist. It’s a tried and true political trick the liberals do whenever they run the weaker candidate. They never defend their own candidate, but rather find a couple of reasons to not vote for the conservative. I’ve heard it over and over through the years. I know Bill Clinton is a sleaze ball and lied to the public when he said he had never had sex with Monica Lewinski when we have one of her dresses with his semen on it, but I can’t vote for the conservative running against him because he’s too conservative, or too religious. I know Obama is destroying the country and importing millions of Muslims who will begin blowing themselves and innocent Americans up in towns around the country or beheading Catholic priests, but I can’t vote for Romney, because he’s a Mormon and professes too much faith in God. When the Democratic convention is over, the national and local medial will begin their attacks on Donald Trump. There will be expose’ after expose’ on every business deal he’s ever made, and they will dissect his family with an evil surgeon’s precision, and each trumped up charge and phony revelation will give another liberal one of the three reasons they need to not vote for Trump. They can then vote for Hillary and act like they are making a decision from information they now have, when in reality they would vote for Satan himself if he were the Democratic candidate. It’s an interesting facet of being a liberal, the ability to completely ignore every fact that shows your candidate is a crook while at the same time latching onto any fragment of rumor about the conservative candidate and regurgitating it as truth. They will ignore the email server in the bathroom that was wiped clean by lawyers before it was turned over as evidence. Forget Benghazi and the people who died there and the cover up that took place afterwards. Disregard the scores of women who have come forward and testified under oath that Bill Clinton sexually abused them. They won’t talk about the millions dumped into the Clinton Foundation by enemies of the United States, or the $250,000 speaking fees insiders paid Hillary for favors to be collected when she becomes president. Instead, they’ll look at Donald trump’s hair and decide they can’t vote for him, or look down on his beautiful wife’s education. Can they locate a disgruntled businessman who’s angry about any deal Donald Trump has made in the last 30 years? All it takes are any little reasons, and then they can justify the decision they’ve already made.

On hot dogs- That’s why they’re man’s best friend. ‘Cause guys want buddies that are dumber than they are. So do women, but they’ve already got men On skiing- I hit two trees and fell down a ditch. And that was just walking from the lodge. On marriage- My wife and I had an argument last week that was so stupid, that it bears repeating. My wife collects twist ties...welcome to my world. On trampolines- I discovered two very important facts that day - Number one: The springs will pull the hair out of your legs, and Number two: the dog doesn’t like to bounce. (Courtesy of funnycomedianquotes.com) Bill Engvall Reviews: “Bill Engvall has since spent decades mastering the art of approachable affability, the kind of humor that allows folks to imagine they might be that witty at parties spinning embellished tales of real life. It’s an easygoing, Southern storytelling style in which a two-minute encounter prevaricates into a 10-minute routine. Might as well be sitting down on a back porch with all his buddies gathered around.” – Amy Martin of the Theater Jones “Having been married 30 years, Engvall has a wealth of relationship issues to work from and it was obvious that he hit the “been there, done that” nail on the head regularly for many of those in attendance. He warned parents that having their kids leave home isn’t all its cracked up to be — “The empty nest looked good on paper until you realize it’s just you and your wife left in the big house.” – Jeff DeDekker of the LeaderPost (Courtesy of concerttour.net) August 2016 • The SOURCE C YVSOURCE.COM 11 Calendar of events For what should be the most up-todate listing of Valley events, go online to visitgrandjunction.com/events. for info.) 8/2 One Day Dino Digs- Dinosaur Journey Museum, Fruita 242-0971 (ongoing through August- call for info.)

De Beque, Colorado is no exception with their annual Wild Horse Days. Festival fans likely never consider how much planning goes into putting these type of events on. I wanted to take a moment to check in with Marge Mackey who is one of the many people who works behind the scenes each year to make sure that Wild Horse Days delivers 4 fun filled days for locals and visitors. Name: Marge Mackey, Director De Beque Recreation Age: Old enough to know better Occupation: Director De Beque Recreation Hobbies: Time with family, Volleyball, Fishing, Music, Organics Family: Husband, Son, Daughter-in-law and two Grand Children (Girl 4 and boy 19 months) Favorite Restaurant: Noodles & Company Goals: Splash Pad park in the Town of De Beque When did The Wild Horse Days Festival begin? 1999 with the Wild Horse Council. Then in 2014 the Town of De Beque took it over when the Wild Horse Council dissolved. What is your favorite part of being involved in the planning of the festival? The end result and watching the enjoyment it brings to those in the community and surrounding areas. Since De Beque is such a small community, what percentage of residents do you think attend the festival? 70-80 % it also brings back those who once lived in the community. Have you added anything new this year to the festival? Different activities for the kids and layout, Wine Tasting Booth, School groups hosting breakfasts, PTA tried doing a 5K Color Run but unfortunately did not get the registrations due to a big race in the Mountains.

Crazy Cad Lady Four months ago, I started hooking up with this hot guy I met on Tinder. He isn’t someone I’d normally go for; he’s a total mess and serious trouble. He always made me come to his place, and I always left feeling gross rather than satisfied. However, about once a month, I’d feel attached and confess this to him. He’d go into hiding, but he always came back for sex. The whole thing made me worried, anxious, and sad, so I deleted his contact info, but I miss him and think about him constantly. How do I stay strong? If he texted me, I’d just run back to his bed. --Detoxing Sex that turns your stomach is a small price to pay for romance, like a man whispering sweet nothings in your ear: “Just leave your coat on. This won’t take long.” Yes, it’s pretty amazing to find yourself missing a man you dislike and maybe even despise. This probably comes out of how there’s a potentially higher price for women from naked fun -ending up with a sex dumpling (uh, child) -- and whoops, where did that Hunky McHunkington run off to, now that the kid needs food, diapers, and a college education? Because women can get “impregnated and abandoned,” anthropologist John Marshall Townsend explains, female emotions evolved to act as an “alarm system” to monitor the “quality and reliability” of male investment and “remedy deficiencies even when (women) try to be indif- ferent to investment.” In a study of Townsend’s I’ve referenced before, even when women wanted nothing but a shag from some dude -- basically seeing him as useful meat -- they often found themselves fretting the morning after about whether he cared about them or only wanted sex. These women aren’t mushy-minded idiots. Chances are, they’ve been roofied into these feelings -- by their own bodies. Oxytocin -- a hormone associated with emotional bonding -gets released in both men and women through cuddling, kissing, and orgasm. However, men’s far greater supply of testosterone -- especially when they aren’t in a committed relationship -can act as a sort of nightclub bouncer, blocking the uptake of oxytocin. As for the montly pull this guy has on you, research by evolutionary psychologists Kelly Gildersleeve and Martie Haselton suggests that once a month -- during ovulation -- a woman seeking casual sex is more likely to be drawn to a cad’s more masculine features (like a square jaw and a muscular build). As for how you might quit this particular cad, let’s get real. Deleting somebody’s number doesn’t stop them from calling. You’ve got to block his number. You might also use free smartphone apps -- like Productive, to motivate yourself by ticking off the days you’ve gone cadless, and Clue, to track your ovulation. For added fortitude, make a list of the ways sex with him makes you feel. Being worried, anxious, sad, and grossed out can sometimes be a reason to get a man over See Banton August 12-Cedaredge, A new outdoor music venue has popped up just our side of Cedaredge, Colorado. Pack up your camping gear, fill your cooler, grab your friends and family and head to Aspen Trails Campground. Friday August the 12th with Pato Banton & The Now Generation Band will be performing a concert at the beautiful NEW outdoor amphitheater at Aspen Trails located at the base of the Grand Mesa a couple miles outside of Cedaredge, Colorado. Part 3 off the Annual Mesa Summer Music Series kicks off August 12th from 5-10pm with a campfire jam session for all camping pass holders. Pato Banton: The Truth Revealed A Pato Banton concert is an event not to be missed and an experience not to be forgotten. Positive Vibrations abound with a beat to keep you on your dancing feet, while Pato delivers a message that is food for the mind and soul. Many have considered his charismatic performance as live theatre where no show is alike and audience members become participants in the experience. Pato dialogues with the crowd on a range of topics including current day events and spiritual freedom while keeping the vibes upbeat and fun! The direction of the concert is totally based on the feedback Pato receives from the audience as there is no fixed set list. Many have said that the positivity generated from the stage has changed their lives forever. Sometimes Pato invites his fans to join him in a prayer circle after the show, where some have cried while sharing their stories of contemplated suicide, isolation after losing a 18 loved one, struggles with substance abuse and how their personal connection with Pato has given them the strength to “Stay Positive” & “Never Give In.” From seeing the most disadvantaged of circumstances in his youth, through a long and successful career as a world renowned reggae legend, back to his roots with a commitment to work for the benefit of young people in his community, and finally on a mission to spread the “Good News” & “Positive Vibrations” to the “Now Generation”. This season’s Grand Finale Show will be on September 23rd-25th. Aspen Trails is offering the first 20 vendors who sign up for this event FREE VENDING.

Meet Joe Blackboard I’ve been in love with my former highschool teacher for five years. We grew close when I was a student, but nothing physical happened. I’m now an adult, and we talk frequently (and rather flirtatiously) on the phone. I would pursue him if he weren’t married, with a family. Now I just need to admit my feelings to him and ask what his intentions ever were. I refuse to believe that he finds our constant chats to be completely innocent, and I don’t think I can go on without telling him how crazy he’s making me. --Smitten When somebody at a cocktail party asks the guy “What do you do?” his answer isn’t supposed to be “My former students.” Sure, you’re now an adult. Unfortunately, he’s still a husband. But never mind that; you’ve got feelings clawing to get out. And that is a problem. James Pennebaker, who researches emotional expression, explains that “actively holding back or inhibiting our thoughts and feelings can be hard work.” It causes a lot of tension -- which is uncomfortable, making you long to release your pent-up feelings. In other words, a crushing need to be “honest” isn’t necessarily courageous or noble. It’s the psychological version of needing to pee. As for how Mr. Homeroom feels, probably like a guy whose wedding vows are supposed to trump “hot for teacher.” Luckily, there’s a simple way to avoid the impulse to tell him “how crazy” he’s making you: Cut off all contact. No doubt, it can be a highly rewarding thing for a teacher when his life is changed by a student -- except if that change is from happily married daddy to miserably separated dude living in his kids’ backyard playhouse.

It’s my summer album so far, and pretty much the definition of ‘hard country.’” - Greg Vandy / AMERICAN STANDARD TIME / KEXP’s THE ROADHOUSE “A fantastic record” - GHETTOBLASTER MAGAZINE “If you’re a fan of classic county - and particularly honky-tonk music - this is an album that belongs in your collection” – AXS “OH/KY shines because Jeremy sings about the times he won’t talk about. The songs are brutally honest. It feels like both a warning and an apology. This album will give you chills, but only if you have a soul.” - GLACIALLY MUSICAL HERE’S WHAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SAYING ABOUT JEREMY PINNELL’S ALBUM OH/KY: “Pinnell knows how infectious country should sound, with plenty of pedal steel guitar and soul… painfully honest.” - SOUNDZ MAGAZINE “Kentuckian Jeremy Pinnell hits all the country-tune sweet spots. His voice is strong and a little mournful -- you can feel his ache seep through the speakers as you listen -- and the rhythm section shuffles along gently. Weepy pedal steel licks feel just right as Pinnell sings a regretful refrain of ‘I did it again,’ a familiar sentiment for any of us who’ve ever done a little backsliding.” - THE BLUEGRASS SITUATION “A tribute to pure, authentic country… Pinnell captivates the listener until the end.” - KEYS & CHORDS “Sorrow and loss are deeply woven in to the country music fabric, but they’re especially critical elements to the new LP by Jeremy Pinnell, OH/KY. With a gruff voice and a strong grasp on what real country sounds like, Pinnell spins a series of compelling yarns on the album that document the hardships of the past 18 years of his life, from drug addiction to failed relationships. These tunes are a tutorial on classic country music.” – POPMATTERS “One of my favorite new finds.” – Sean Moeller / DAYTROTTER “Jeremy Pinnell’s new song ‘Big Bright World’ is about as authentic as country gets: western swing rhythms, weeping pedal still, deepvoiced sadness, and a narrator with a former drug problem. Still, the sun shines through, just like the title suggests.” - INDEPENDENT CLAUSES [8 / 10 stars] “This is about as pure a distillation of old-timey country that you may get to hear this year. So close up them honky tonks: there’s a new kid on the block. His name is Jeremy Pinnell and his take on a solid tradition is electrifying, even if the guitars are strummed acoustically, and the beats shuffle. OH/KY is a bold record, and thoroughly enjoyable.” – INVISIBLE INK The RADIO ROOM Proudly Presents… Mara Levine and the group Gathering Time Thursday, August 25th, 20167:30 PM “Mara Levine has one of the strongest, clearest and most beautiful voices that I have ever heard.

Hemp vs. Marijuana - Do You Know the Difference? Get the Facts! Get Involved! By Kammy McElwain for Colorado Hemp Fest Hemp? Marijuana? What’s the difference? Apparently, it depends on who you ask, where you live, and in what time period. “The Columbia History of the World states that the oldest relic of human industry is a piece of Mesopotamian hemp fabric dating back to approximately 8,000 BC”.1 In most cultures for the last several thouSativa Indica Ruderalis sand years, hemp has been a primary agricultural crop used for food, clothing, medicine, spiritual uses, and more. The terms “hemp”, “marijuana”, and “cannabis” generally referred to any variety of the plant itself, regardless of end use. The different English terms are an indication of the etymology of the words. Cannabis is a genus in the plant family cannabaceae, and has three species: sativa, indica, and ruderalis. Within these three species are several strains. Industrial hemp is a variety of the cannabis sativa plant species. Cannabis has 483 known chemical compounds, including 65 or more cannabinoids, one of which is THC, the main psychoactive chemical substance. “Since the early 1970s, Cannabis plants have been categorized by their chemical phenotype or “chemotype”, based on the overall amount of THC produced, and on the ratio of THC to CBD.”2 However, up until the 1930’s, no distinctions were made, and growing hemp was as American as apple pie. Colorado is one of the first states to stand for freedom for our farmers, allowing them to grow industrial hemp again beginning in 2012. In 2014, 1600 acres of hemp were planted in Colorado. Registration with the CO Department of Agriculture is required for both commercial production, as well as for research and development with industrial hemp. As of 5/9/16, twenty-eight states have legalized hemp cultivation in accordance the US 2014 Farm Bill which defines industrial hemp as “the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part The full speaker and band line-up is listed at: http://cohempfest.org/ hemp_fest_co_schedule.html.

Exhibitors are listed at: http://cohempfest.org/hemp_business_directory. html Join us at Co Hemp Fest 8/12-8/14 behind the Drive-In at 57510 Hwy 330 (about 1 mile West of Collbran Colorado) to learn more about the BENEFITS of INDUSTRIAL HEMP.

The biggest problem with the .3% THC limit in defining hemp is that it precludes most heirloom hemp varieties. Even with this current definition, Colorado hemp farmer Scott Perez was quoted in a June 2015 article in the The Journal3 as saying ““I saw a headline this week that indicated the outlook for hemp was hazy,” said Perez. “That’s simply not true. Industrial hemp is on the verge of becoming an agricultural revolution.”” Industrial hemp has over 50,000 uses4 and has been cultivated worldwide for thousands of years. Every part of the plant can be utilized, with different varieties being developed for numerous industries. Some of the general uses of industrial hemp include food, fiber, building materials, plastic and composites, auto parts, paper, cordage/rope, medicinal, therapeutic, cosmetic, animal feed and bedding, mulch, compost, water and soil purification and regeneration, weed control, and biofuels.

According to the Hemp Industry Association, USA, due to federal drug laws, “It is currently illegal to grow industrial hemp for food, oil, paper or fabric in the USA, but it is perfectly legal to export hemp to the U.S. and to process, consume and wear it there.” Even with cultivation in Colorado being made legal, freedom to utilize the crops to their full potential is limited due to several regulations both at the state and federal levels.

August 2016 • The SOURCE C YVSOURCE.COM 21 Medical Marijuana ALTERNATIVE HEALTH & WELLNESS SOURCE SOIL GROWN. HAND TRIMMED. H A N D WAT E R E D . By Sigurdur Marcum Patients and Caregivers alike are both working very hard this week to prepare their gardens for the coming Bud season. While Cannabis’s vitality and plentiful seed production engenders the term “Weed”, cannabis is no simple plant to grow. The challenge of bringing forth this fruit from the earth is that it is a complicated and demanding plant if you want clean (pest and pesticide free) flowers laden with rich supplies of Cannabinoids (THC, CBD, CBC,… ) and Terpines. Terpines are what give cannabis their distinctive smell profiles and these traits are important to the final product. In our area, Cannabis can start to flower as early as late July; but is generally underway by the end of the first week in August. Depending on the individual strain, the Bud season can take from 8 to 14 weeks to finish. At this time, (early August) growers are busy protecting their future harvest by inspecting every plant thoroughly and frequently for signs of pests. Growers design their own IPM (Integrated Pest Management) programs to protect their crops and at this time we hope to find our fields to be pest free and transitioning to the next phase in their growth. Once our gardens start transitioning to the Flower phase, we change our IPM and nutritional schedules as our plants have changing needs and environmental challenges. In addition to all of the work that goes into this years’ garden, now is also the time to make clones and “Mother Plants” that will provide the genetic material for next years’ crop. Unless maybe, you make your own seeds and then there is an even longer list of chores to manage. It has been our goal all season to implement a robust IPM program that will protect our crops and yield a clean and bountiful harvest of Herbs. These are the herbs we prepare for the lifelong health of family and community.

What I love the most was the tax was included in the overall price, and the prices are very reasonable. They have a great selection and more than friendly staff to help you with your purchase.
