Peak Oil lands at Fort Lewis College
What: A talk by peak oil expert Steve Andrews
Where: 130 Chemistry Hall at FLC
When: Mon., Oct. 29 from 7-9 p.m.
Peak oil is landing in Durango this week. On Oct. 29, peak oil
expert Steve Andrews will give the talk “Peak Oil Exports
Now, Peak Oil Soon; How Should We Respond?”
Andrews is co-founder of the Association for the Study of Peak
Oil and Gas and a Denver-based energy consultant who has been
speaking about the issue for nearly two decades. Independent
mainstream analysts have confirmed that growth in global
conventional oil production may end soon. Since no one can
predict how rapidly oil production rates will fall once they peak,
ASPO advocates a discussion of intelligent responses to this
enormous challenge now.
Next Monday, Andrews will discuss the evolving “peak oil
exports” story; present data showing looming peak oil
production; explore the current focus on substitute fuels; and
discuss alternatives.
The free talk takes place from 7-9 p.m. in 130 Chemistry Hall at
Fort Lewis College. For more information contact the Environmental
Center at 247-7676.

Concert Hall presents Cirque Le Masque
What: A local performance by the European-style circus
Where: The Community Concert Hall at Fort Lewis College
When: Sun., Oct. 28 at 4 p.m.
Acrobatics, colorful costumes, music and daring physical feats
take the stage this week at the Community Concert Hall at Fort
Lewis College. Cirque Le Masque, a European-style circus, presents
“Fire and Ice” this Sunday for a 4 p.m. matinee.
Revered as “truly phantasmagorical and avant-garde,”
Cirque Le Masque’s “Fire and Ice” pays homage to
the time-honored traditions of European cirque troupes. The show
for audiences of all ages follows a plot line in which Xenos, a
strong and easily upset wizard who governs the elements of fire and
ice, comes to Earth to express his wrath at the mere mortals who
dare wake him.
Founded in 1993 by Dennis and Bernie Schussel, Cirque Le Masque
has captivated audiences worldwide, selling out venues from Las
Vegas to Athens, Greece. Cirque Le Masque artists dance literally
mid-air, performing skills that exemplify the stamina and strength
of super-human bodies. Lights, music and costumes add to the
spectacle.
Showtime is 4 p.m. with doors to the Spotlight Lounge opening at
3 p.m. Tickets for Cirque Le Masque are available on the web at www.durangoconcerts.com, by calling 247-7657 or by visiting the
Downtown Ticketing Services Offices at 7th and Main
