TAXES AREN’T HEALTHY FOR BOULDER:

Vote NO on 2H

“ Taxes make things more expensive for families.” — Francisco Hernandez DAD AND BUSINESS OWNER

“ I don’t think taxes are going to decrease obesity at all.” — Gina Schettini LE PEEP

Here in Boulder, we take health and wellness very seriously. Paying more at our favorite restaurant and local store won’t make us any healthier. Boulder business owners could be forced to raise the prices of items sold in their restaurants or grocery stores in order to recover the cost of the tax. Boulder business owners don’t need more red tape and residents shouldn’t have to pay more. Boulder can make its own choices.

TOGETHER, WE CAN STOP THE BEVERAGE & GROCERY TAX. “ You can’t tax people to be healthy. It doesn’t work. Healthy lifestyles make healthy people.” — Mathew Smith

CU STUDENT/BOULDER VOTER

“ People should still have the choice to decide for themselves.” — Terry Jones

ome stories of corporate villainy make me throw up my hands in astonishment. But this one makes me literally throw up. The sorry saga of Wells Fargo systematically stealing from millions of its small depositors is a gag-inducing story of executive-suite greed. Start with former CEO John Stumpf, who claimed at

a Senate hearing in September to be shocked and “deeply sorry” that thousands of his employees had been opening bogus accounts in the names of immigrants, the elderly and other vulnerable customers, then socking them with fees they didn’t owe, understand or even know about. The slick bank chief assured senators that he and other top bosses knew nothing about this mass breach of the bank’s code of ethics, blaming low-level employees and firing 5,300 of them. But John, John, John: First, weren’t you the one squeezing those employees relentlessly to push customers into multiple accounts? Second, how could you possibly not notice a huge crime spree that rampaged throughout your bank for as long as 11 years? Third, what about all those calls that honest employees made to your “ethics hotline” to tell you personally about the ripoffs? And, fourth, while you now cravenly blame your

$12-an-hour employees for this bankrun mugging operation, some of them sent personal letters way back in 2011 urging you to stop it — why didn’t you? Stumpf didn’t act because he was busy stuffing his own pockets with the loot, hauling off more than $100 million in personal pay in the last four years alone. He finally resigned on October 12, a move his successor hailed as “incredibly selfless.” Selfless? He walks away from the nauseating scandal he caused with a $20 million pension and stock worth $109 million. He should be facing a jail term, like any other bank robber — not retiring in luxury. Excuse me while I go throw up. This opinion column does not necessarily reflect the views of Boulder Weekly. October 27, 2016 5

letters Give me some arts tax

As a theater lover and mother of two, I’m very excited to be able to vote YES on Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD) in this election. Renewing the one-penny-on-tendollar sales tax pays for so much! Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD) funds support the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, the zoo, Nature and Science museum, and hundreds of arts and cultural organizations across the metro area. Thanks to SCFD, I’m able to take my children to more than 100 free days every year. That’s an incredible bargain — one of the things that makes the Denver area such a great place to live. I urge every voter to join me in voting Yes on 4B to renew support for the SCFD and culture for all! Amanda Rhodes/via Facebook

Don’t be dumb

Television ads and robocalls have Mayor Wellington Webb asking voters to vote yes on Amendment 71. I don’t understand why citizens would be against their own interests! A yes would also amend the constitution making it IMPOSSIBLE for citizens to address important issues. Two-thirds of the amendments to the Colorado Constitution are made by legislators; less than one-third initiated by Colorado citizens. Only 26 states even allow citizens to collect signatures to amend their constitutions. Voting yes will make it almost impossible for citizens to practice democracy in action as most groups are not well-funded and will not be able to collect the necessary signatures from 35 senate districts. Only those with huge

monetary backing will be able to pay signature gathers in the future and televise ads. We cannot afford to lose our rights by voting yes on Amendment 71 nor giving away our power to corporations. PLEASE VOTE NO! “The best way to predict your future is to create it.” —Abraham Lincoln Sandy Reavey/Denver

Vote Danish

I support Paul Danish for County Commissioner because of his sound judgement, common sense, and sharp wit — qualities which are sorely needed on the Board of County of Commissioners. In the years I have lived in the City of Boulder, Paul has served on both the Boulder City Council and the Board of County Commissioners. I have had ample opportunity to observe his performance, and have always been impressed with his critical thinking and excellent communication skills. Paul truly appreciates citizen input, knows how to listen and cuts right through all of the bureaucratic BS. These traits are critical in today’s world of local Boulder politics where decisions are often based on doctrine, consultant studies and lengthy staff reports rather than citizen needs. I’ll never forget an event which occurred in the early 1980s after Pearl Street was converted into a pedestrian mall and the Boulder City Council was tasked with developing rules and regulations to govern activities on the mall. Another city councilman, who was president of the old National State see LETTERS Page 8

Boulder Weekly

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS SELL OUT CITIZEN SAFETY BEHIND CLOSED DOORS In October 2012, a petition signed by eighty-six (86) citizens was presented to the Boulder County Commissioners. The petition requested a public hearing on an expansion of the 4 ½ square mile area protected by Boulder County Resolution 80-52. The Resolution was enacted 35 years ago, and limits the discharge of firearms in densely populated neighborhoods. It does not affect Second Amendment rights, but does prohibit the discharge of firearms on the Federal lands interspersed in the community. The expansion would double the current 4 ½ square miles and facilitate enforcement by creating easily identifiable boundaries. Jefferson County has protected 90 square miles under the same legislation, Colorado Revised Statue 30-15-301, 302. In the spring of 2013, the requested hearing was imminent. The County asked if we needed “two or three hours?” Then, the County allowed Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) to weigh in BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. CPW, an agency funded largely from the sale of hunting licenses, opposed the expansion. The Commissioners suddenly reversed their course of action. The Commissioners “killed” a hearing on an issue of public safety. When a rifle bullet can injure or kill a soft target at a distance of two miles – when the area under discussion is bookended by heavily recreated Open Space at Betasso Preserve and Sugarloaf Mountain – and when hunters stalk about on school mornings at the same time as kids are making their way to the bus stops – it’s a failure in leadership not to address public safety. The CPW has hundreds of thousands of square miles in Colorado in which to offer hunting. Nobody needs to hunt on the 9 square miles where we live and many other citizens recreate. And we, Boulder citizens, do not need Commissioners who pander to CPW at the expense of public safety.

He argued for permits because he did not like the sound of a saxophone player who often played in front of his bank. To keep things from becoming overly bureaucratic and complex, Paul Danish said “Dick, can’t you do us all a favor and just slip the guy five bucks and ask him to play down the street?” After a quick round of laughter, they moved on to the next topic.

Reelect Commissioners Jones and Gardner

There are many reasons to reelect commissioners Jones and Gardner. Both have served well for the last several years and thus know how the county works, what the needs are, and how to make things happen. Both have listened to the wishes of the public and have done a good job of sorting out conflicting points of views. This is not always easy but is a necessary part of the job as commissioner. Paving roads, GMOs and other issues often have

valid differences of opinion and often there is a need to balance short-term and long-term benefits and costs. I may not always agree with them but I am always confident that they have considered all information and options. Listening to the residents of Boulder County takes more than listening at town hall meetings and county open sessions. Many of the needs of the public are often raised and at least partially addressed by nonprofits. Seeing Deb and Elise at many events shows that they are getting important information about the needs of our residents. Paul Danish switched to being a Republican from being a Democrat. Given what we hear on the media during this campaign season, that seems to be hard to defend. He is now part of the anti-immigrant, voter-suppression party that fails to suppress anti-Muslim and anti-women rhetoric. He supports hydraulic fracking, which most of us in the county want to see better controlled and for the industry to quit lying to us repeatedly. He viciously attacks his opponent for being against GMOs. Personally, I see them as the world’s biggest science project that might go see LETTERS Page 9

danish plan DANISH PLAN from Page 6

There are all sorts of reasons offered for how the smartest people in America can fail to have their kids protected from diseases that can kill them or cripple them for life. The press tends to favor only Boulder ones. I think the reason is more atavistic. It’s that almost everyone in America has experienced the pain and terror of getting shots as a child, and that the memory of the experience persists into adulthood. Educated, well-off parents living in a community that is relatively disease free (for now) have the luxury of being more empathetic to their chidren’s fears of the needle than people living in places where it’s fear of the disease that’s uppermost. Still, fear of the needle should not be under-estimated as a contributing factor to sickness and death. It isn’t only kids who hate shots; millions of adults will avoid or delay seeing doctors 8 October 27, 2016

out of aversion to being stuck until conditions that are treatable if caught early have become life-threatening. I have no idea how many lives are lost each year due to fear of needles, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the number came to six figures. From time to time you hear of rich patrons who offer prizes for the solution of seemingly impossible problems — like the Kremer Prize for the achievement of human powered flight (won by Paul MacCready in 1977) or today’s Xprizes. Insofar as I know, no one has ever offered a prize for the development of a completely painless system of inoculation. I wish someone would. I think it could end up saving as many lives as the inoculations themselves. And take a lot of terror out of childhood. This opinion column does not necessarily reflect the views of Boulder Weekly.

Please vote yes on 106 & 69

A very dear couple I love, both terminally ill, chose to end nutrition a few weeks ago so they might end suffering for themselves and family members. They want to die together. Ages 92 and 88, they have lived very full and meaningful lives, including Peace Corps work in their late 60s. When I visited them last week, lying side by side in their bed surrounded by family, I was deeply moved by their love and tenderness toward one another, their courage, their beliefs and their generous presence. She died Tuesday and he’s expected to die today. It’s incredibly sad that his final hours are compounded with the suffering of grief in addition to pain and starvation. My friends won’t be able to vote for Proposition 106, Access to Medical Aid-in-Dying Medication, nor Amendment 69, Statewide Health Care System; measures they supported. I certainly will. Both these ballot issues are moral imperatives that will make Colorado a better place to live and die. Health care is a basic human right for all without insurance companies greedily gouging us with continued premium increases. Amendment 69 does away with insurance companies, thus managing costs. Similarly, when someone has been diagnosed with a terminal illness (confirmed by two doctors), and met with a mental health professional, they should be legally allowed the basic dignity to end suffering by taking a prescribed pill when they decide it’s time. Oregon has had this law in effect for 19 years with ZERO abuses reported. Please help alleviate suffering by voting yes on 106 and 69. Shari Malloy/Longmont

Ultimate outsider

Millions of Americans have or are ready to die to protect our values. Countless millions, including myself, are more than happy to pay taxes which cover the cost of the infrastructure for civility and the protection of our basic human rights. Many others have acquired great wealth in America through innovation and investment without having to burden others with their bankruptcies. Most Americans believe in a woman’s right to choose without prosecution and that our climate is changing in a negative direction due to human activities. None of these attributes or ideals have ever been Boulder Weekly

Coloradans deserve the right to vote

House said the party’s 24-member executive committee in August 2015 made the unanimous decision — where six members were absent — to skip the preference poll. The people in the United States were shocked to hear the news. Veteran groups and soldiers were appalled. How could the Colorado Republican Party Executive Committee (18 people) make this deci-

The Danish Question

The Paul Danish I like to remember is from the mid ’60s as the CU Student Body co-president with Paul Talmey holding spirited political debates in the Memorial Center courtyard with the Conservative-minded Samir Zakhem. Then there was the Paul Danish writing for the ironically Boulder-based Soldier of Fortune Magazine, which served to promote warfare as a morally acceptable blood sport. Then came a stint as a Democratic Boulder County Commissioner and the installation of the Danish Plan that, for all its urban planning positives, has contributed to the continuing elitist gentrification and cost of living here. Now, as near as can be determined, it appears he is writing for Jon Caldera’s Independence Institute and promoting Libertarian issues, including laissez-faire government, free-market capitalism, deregulation and the defense of gun rights. How this fits into today’s Boulder is a mystery to me. Robert Porath/Boulder

Full-page anti-hunting complaint

As a Colorado native and longtime Boulder County resident, I was rather dismayed at reading the fullpage spread on page 4 [this was a paid advertisement], which I see as nothing more than an Anita Moss anti-hunting complaint which completely disregards the charter of the National Forest System. We all thank God for Teddy Roosevelt’s concept of everyman’s right in the clear definition, laws and boundaries that have been established, especially when we apply these laws as a whole versus our definitions and special interests, regardless of that interest. This area is within National Forest Service boundaries. The original provision was made to address public safety, and it did. Hunting’s safety record is public and can be reviewed by all. Her’s is not a crusade for public safety as it is another means to change Colorado culture as it has been for a long time, and as we all see here in Boulder County, these changes are crappy! It is no surprise that she points out that JeffCo has encroached on 90 NFS acres already. The USFS and Colorado Parks and Wildlife looks at natural balance versus human interests in their policies and I thank the commissioners for actually acting in the citizens’ interests instead of pandering to the human infestation we’ve been experiencing.

THE NEW

HARVEST OF RAGE A

Depression, scapegoating, Trump, and the coming wave of violence in post-election America

by Joel Dyer

12 October 27, 2016

ll indicators point to America being on the brink of a new harvest of rage; that’s to say, a new and likely larger wave of antigovernment violence than that which we experienced some two decades ago. And as much as people would like to blame this increasing domestic militancy solely on Donald Trump, the narcissist developer from New York City who is currently running for president of the United States, that would be a mistake. It’s not that simple. I’m not trying to sensationalize our current political season. I’ll leave that to cable news. This analysis is about far more than the Trump/Clinton race for the presidency. When it comes to domestic terrorism and the current rapid growth in the number of people who claim to oppose the federal government in one way or another, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton represent no more than the match that is lighting the fuse. What is more important to understand is how the bomb was built and what it’s made of, because only then can it be successfully disarmed. The antigovernment movement in this country is like a giant funnel. The more people who are poured into the funnel’s large end, the more people who will eventually be forced out of its small end. And since those dripping from the small end are

the ones who are willing to do unspeakable acts of violence in the name of their cause — think Oklahoma City bombing — understanding the workings of this funnel is imperative. Being forced through the antigovernment funnel is facilitated by some combination of stress, anger, misinformation, religion, fear and blameshifting that, for a variety of reasons, eventually leads to an ever-deepening belief in any number of conspiracy theories about the government, the New World Order and often minorities. These conspiracy theories are convoluted myths that — while nearly always containing at least a grain of truth — are so wild that most of us dismiss them without a second thought. But that too is a mistake. We dismiss rather than attempt to understand how people can get to a place in their lives where these myths are transformed into their conception of reality and guiding principals. Most people would like to think that the belief in such conspiracy theories is reserved for the ignorant, the uneducated, the trailer trash crowd, or the “deplorables,” as Hillary Clinton recently called them. But that also is far too simplistic an explanation. In fact, such a misguided and uninformed interpretation of what is happening in our country serves only to add powder to the antigovernment bomb. Perhaps the best way to understand our current Boulder Weekly

what can subjugate us to the power of conspiracy theories within the antigovernment funnel. When I would attend farm auctions and sometimes stay with the families in the final days leading up to the sale, the feeling that suicide was lurking just around the corner was palpable. And then a visitor would come. If it were Wallace, he’d try his best to get the depressed farmers into in-patient treatment. But there were other visitors as well. Time after time I watched members of the antigovernment Posse Comitatus or some other Christian Identity based group visit these desperate farm families with a different sort of help. They would put their arms around the grieving family and whisper the words they wanted and needed, so badly to hear, “It’s not your fault.” This too saved lives. But at a cost. Christian Identity is a religion of conspiracy. It is best known as the religion behind the KKK. It teaches that Jews are the spawn of Satan who control the New World Order with the intention of killing or imprisoning God’s real chosen people, aka white people. They also believe that blacks and other minorities are soulless “mud people,” not even human. While more subtle conspiracy theories about lost Second Amendment rights or the abandoning of the Constitution or the end times having arrived may initially dump people into the funnel, it is the more intricate and hate-filled conspiracy theories of Christian Identity that serve to push a smaller number of people deeper into the funnel and eventually out the small end as fully radicalized antigovernment adherents willing to kill and die for the cause, be it racial hatred, misguided patriotism, twisted religious beliefs or some combination thereof. But racist conspiracy theories were not the topics I heard being discussed with hurting, angry, suicidal farmers, at least not at first. Those would come later. The only message at first was, “It’s not your fault.” It’s the government’s fault or the banker’s fault or the overly consolidated commodity market’s fault. These were the words that acted as a blame-shifting salve on the mental wounds of rural America’s economically devastated families. In the beginning the message was more like, “Your family’s invited to a meeting we’re having this Friday night. There will be food and prayer and plenty for the kids to do. We care about you.” See RAGE Page 14

And that is the quick version of how the descent into the ever-narrowing funnel began for many people in the 1980s and early ’90s — a fall that accelerated significantly with the fiascoes of Ruby Ridge and Waco. It was inevitable that a few out of the millions who had been pulled into the mouth of the funnel would eventually be pushed — by way of stress, blame-shifting and conspiracy theories — out the funnel’s small end. And they were. The funnel gave us Gordon Kahl, Robert Mathews, Timothy McVeigh, Terry Nichols, Eric Rudolph and many more who either killed too few to become household names or were stopped before they could carry out their planned mass murders. It’s hard for most of us to understand the power of conspiracy theories. From the outside looking in, belief in such seemingly nonsensical myths makes no sense. But to a mind strapped down by depression being force fed these tales that serve to free a person from guilt and self-loathing, it can make perfect sense. How can any of us understand how a person kidnapped and abused by a captor can eventually come to fully align with and even have empathy and sympathy towards their abuser? Yet we acknowledge the existence of Stockholm syndrome. Is that really so different from watching a previously stable person descend into deep depression as a result of long-term economic stress, then avoid “the invitation to die” by latching onto myths that allow them to shift the blame for their failures from themselves to some form of “other?” The conspiracy theories being spun these days are hardly simple. Some have been around for centuries, such as the belief that the anti-Semitic Protocols of the Elders of Zion are real — a conspiracy theory embraced and spread by the likes of industrialist Henry Ford and numerous politicians of both parties at various times in our history. As I first wrote in 1996, the theories are intricate works of fiction designed to explain America’s ongoing slide toward what feels increasingly like a “Third World” existence for millions of Americans who are on the wrong side of the ever-widening great divide. These conspiracy theories have been specifically designed to take advantage of the wide swaths of depression that have engulfed much of the rural landscape and the unemployed masses of the Rust Belt. Places we often refer to as “red states.” 14 October 27, 2016

These well-crafted theories combine fundamental religion, fear, patriotism, a grain of truth, and too often racism and hate. The finished products ease the pain of those who place their faith in the theories, allowing people to scapegoat the government or immigrants or Muslims or minorities or the banks or something or someone else for their problems. And this is why we are in so much trouble in 2016. Today’s funnel dwarfs that of the 1980s and ’90s in every respect. The gap between the rich and poor has gotten much wider in the past quarter century. The depression that hit the economically challenged in farm country 25 years ago has spread to millions who have lost their manufacturing jobs to cheap overseas labor and their homes to the mortgage crisis. Many Americans have replaced their disappeared job that once paid a livable wage with two and three jobs in their effort to simply get by. Many of those who lost their homes now find themselves unable to move from renter to homeowner in the new economy. For millions of people the American Dream is now dead and for middle-aged white males this reality is proving difficult to accept ... and live with, literally. The suicides among farmers that swelled to the point that it became the single largest cause of unnatural death on the family farm has also spread across the land. Consider these figures on suicide from Psychology Today: “Middle aged Americans are turning to suicide in alarming numbers. The reasons include ... the mortgage crisis and most importantly, the challenge of a troubled economy. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) claims suicide rates now top the number of deaths due to automobile accidents.”

But for the purposes of this analysis of the antigovernment movement, it’s important to note that the Center for Disease Control says suicide rates remain nearly unchanged for both younger and older Americans. It is the middle ages between 35 and 64 years of age where suicide rates have skyrocketed nearly 30 percent. And more specifically still, and this I believe is the takeaway, the rate of suicide for middle-aged whites jumped a nearly inconceivable 40 percent in a 10-year span. The highest suicide rates in the country now belong to 50- to 55-yearold white men — or as they are often referred to these days, Trump supporters. So why are these middle-aged white men killing themselves? Like the farmers before them, economic stress coupled with no promising outlook for the future is taking its toll. They have reached the point in their lives where they now realize that the promised American Dream they believed to be their birthright is not going to materialize. After a lifetime of work they can’t retire; they can’t pay their bills; they see no future. They believe they have failed themselves and their families. They are being presented with an invitation to die at a rate we have never seen in our nation’s history. While many are obviously and tragically accepting this invitation, millions of others are instead blame-shifting their hate from themselves to the proverbial other, and by doing so, unwittingly pouring themselves into the mouth of the funnel. And they are getting plenty of help in the process. In the 1990s, it largely fell to the propaganda of Second Amendment zealots and end-times preachers to push folks into the funnel. But today the call into the funnel has gone mainstream.

You can’t turn on a television or computer screen without hearing the new conspiracy theories. First, we must realize that all the forces that built the 1990s antigovernment movement are still in play. The NRA’s dog whistle rhetoric about the government’s secret desire to take away all guns is as prevalent now as ever, perhaps even more so in light of the many horrific mass shootings that have raised a loud cry for stronger gun regulations. And religious leaders declaring these the end times have only grown louder and more prolific as issues like gay marriage and a perceived war against Muslims have stoked their fear and paranoia. Racism too remains alive and well as a draw into the funnel — as evidenced by the jump in the number of known antigovernment groups that coincided with the election of Barack Obama, the first black president. So in short, we were in frightening territory even before the 2016 presidential race, but now things are much worse. We know by the mass increase in the rates of depression and suicide among middle age white men that the ground for conspiracy theory blameshifting is more fertile than ever before. So when we add to that the now mainstreamed Donald Trump conspiracy theories that are broadcast daily to millions by the news media, it is a recipe for disaster. The news media is missing the point. For instance, it talks about the “birther” conspiracy that questions Obama’s place of birth and thereby legitimacy as president with a smirk and a wink to what it perceives as its intelligent viewers. It’s treated as just another form of cynical entertainment for the mainstream masses. But members of the media are largely oblivious to the fact that every time they mention this racist conspiracy theory without a responsible discussion about its ability, by design, to motivate people who truly believe it toward violence, they do a great disservice to all of us. Thanks to a broken economic system that has largely displaced our middle class, and the presidential campaign of 2016, there are now 38 million Trump followers who are potentially being crammed into the largest antigovernment funnel to date. It’s important to point out that being poured into the top of the antigovernment funnel does not make a person a racist or in any way a bad person. It simply means that they are frustrated with and skeptical of the government for a variety of reasons and their Boulder Weekly

positions on certain issues make them more vulnerable than most to the conspiracy theory messages that can and will pull some of them deeper into the funnel. And even of those who are pulled in more deeply, far fewer still will ever make it all the way through, exiting with a willingness to resort to violence to express their anger at the government. But the fact remains, that the more people entering the top of the funnel, the more people who will eventually come out the other end as violent antigovernment adherents. Understanding the legitimate psychological reasons why certain middleaged white men have a need to blame someone other than themselves for their station in life sheds enormous light on the trajectory of this election. Think about the issues that have drawn this demographic to Trump, and the candidate’s rhetoric that is acting to pull them further into the funnel: his opposition to trade agreements that his followers blame for their inability to have good-paying jobs; his accusations that Mexicans are taking his followers jobs. His overt racism against blacks, Muslims and Latinos, who he paints as threats to “our” way of life; his support for all things gun, even refusing to ban assault rifles or extra large magazines; as mentioned before, his “birther” position; and his broad brushed approach to painting Washington as a cabal of corrupt politicos stealing from his followers. What better conspiracy-theory salve for the pain of his economically stressed followers than to be told it’s not their fault, it’s the fault of the government, Latinos, blacks and Muslims. And only by supporting him can they “Make America Great Again,” presumably going back in time to a place when white men were the undisputed top of the pecking order. Even Trump’s treatment of women as objects made for his pleasure seems to appeal to this beaten down demographic whose need to feel superior is paramount. All of this explains why no matter what new revelation about Trump the Clinton camp or the media dig up, it has very little impact on the polls. Many Trump followers aren’t following him because of his political views, they are following him because they need him. They need his conspiracytheory-laced message because it helps them to ease their pain by scapegoating their problems onto the mythical other. Unfortunately, this blame-shifting also makes them vulnerable to being pulled ever deeper into the dark recesses of the funnel. Boulder Weekly

But it gets worse. Trump saved his most destructive conspiracy theory for last. He now is claiming that our election system is rigged and that the results can’t be trusted. He is telling people already well down the funnel that our democracy has been stolen; it is no longer an option for bringing about change. And it appears he intends to use his own electoral defeat as proof that our democracy no longer exists. It’s laughable to most people I know. But please believe me when I tell you that millions of people believe this is true. In fact, a recent poll found that more than 40 percent of all Republicans believe that the election is rigged. So ask yourself what a true American patriot should do if some dark force has now actually — in the words of a major party presidential candidate — taken over our government and eliminated our democracy. Trump may just be trying to crown himself king of the disenfranchised middle-aged white men or launch his next for-profit venture in Trump TV. But what he has managed to accomplish over the past 12 months is to validate all the most destructive, racist, violenceinciting conspiracy theories of the funnel. He has pushed more people in and empowered the mechanism for pushing more people through. And I believe we will all be paying the price in post-election America for his irresponsible actions. But before we point the finger of guilt at Trump alone, let’s consider how so many of his followers came to be in their current, difficult circumstances. Both parties have increasingly abandoned the growing underclass. In recent decades politicians have too often traded doing the right thing for the thing that will get them reelected. Our system does increasingly benefit our largest corporations and wealthiest donors at the expense of working men and women of all races. But our democracy has not been stolen by the New World Order. We have given it away as the result of our apathy and our inexplicable willingness to vote for the lesser of two evils out of fear, rather than using the power of our democracy and our votes responsibly for the betterment of all. Each of us deserves at least some of the blame for the storm of violence that is rapidly blowing our way. I’m afraid it’s too late to stop it. I hope I’m wrong.

guest perspective THE TRUMP TALK by Dan Savage

ear Dan: Waiting to pay for my groceries at the market this evening, this guy, stinking of booze, says to my 9-year-old daughter, “Sweetheart, can you put the divider thing there for me?” First, why is some leering grown man calling my child “sweetheart”? He then thumps two huge bottles of vodka down on the belt. I move closer to my daughter; he then reaches his hand over me and wraps his hand around her arm, saying, “Now, you be nice to your Mommy, sweetie.” I pluck his hand off. “Do not touch my child,” I say. My other hand is pressed against my daughter’s ribs, and I can feel her heart POUNDING. “ You have a beautiful daughter,” he says. The cashier, whom we know, a guy, looks at me, eyebrows up. I roll my eyes. So pissed. We leave. “I hated that man,” my daughter says once we get in the car. “He smelled bad, I wanted to hit him, if anyone ever does that to me again I’m going to scream.” Here we effing go: “Sometimes you have to be hypervigilant,” I tell my daughter, “because some gross men out there feel they are entitled to touch us.” And then I share my story: “When I was a little girl...” I don’t even remember the first time it happened to me. I don’t remember the last time some pervert rubbed up against me. But that’s what you have to deal with when you are a girl. We have to learn to brush this shit off, to make sure that this endless assault course of predators doesn’t take one bit of your pride, your confidence, or your sense of peace as you walk through this world. I am so angry. We should call this the “Trump Talk.” The depressing conversation that every parent needs to have with their little girl about revolting, predatory, entitled men. The Trump Talk. — Mother And Daughter Discuss Enraging Realities Dear MADDER: I’m sorry about what happened to your daughter at the grocery store — I’m sorry about what was done to your daughter by that entitled asshole at the grocery store — but I’m glad you were there with her when it happened. The author Kelly Oxford, in response to Donald Trump’s horrific comments about sexually assaulting women, called on women to tweet about their first assaults under the hashtag #notokay. Oxford’s post went viral — more than a million women responded — and reading through the seemingly endless thread, I was struck by how many women were Boulder Weekly

alone the first time they were assaulted. Oxford herself was alone the first time it happened to her: “Old man on a city bus grabs my ‘pussy’ and smiles at me. I’m 12.” A lot of women I know, including some very close friends, were your daughter’s age the first time it happened to them, MADDER, but they were alone. Tragically, many assumed that they had done something wrong, that they had invited this on themselves somehow, and most didn’t go to their parents for fear of getting into trouble. And when it inevitably happened again, some became convinced they were indeed to blame, that they were bringing

this on themselves somehow, because they thought it wasn’t happening to anyone else, just them. So thank God you were there with your daughter, MADDER, there to pull that asshole’s hand off of her, there to protect her from worse, and there to help her process the experience. And in that car ride home you inoculated your daughter with your message (you are a human being and you have a right to move through this world unmolested) before gross predators could infect her with theirs (you are only an object and we have a right to touch you). I want to live in a world where this sort of thing doesn’t happen to anyone’s daughter, MADDER, but until we do: Every little girl should be so lucky as to have a trusted adult standing by ready to intervene when it does happen. I only wish the grocery store clerk had intervened, too. Regarding your suggestion, MADDER, I’ve

received roughly 10 million emails begging me to do for Donald Trump what I did for Rick Santorum: My readers and I redefined santorum (“the frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex”) and some wanted us to do the same for Trump. People even sent in suggestions: trump is the streak of shit a large turd sometimes leaves on the bottom of the toilet bowl; trump is the snot that sometimes runs out of your nose when you’re giving a blowjob; a trump is a guy so hopelessly inept in bed that no woman (or man) wants him, no matter how rich he is. The suggested new meanings all struck me as trivial and snarky — and I don’t think there’s anything trivial about the racism, sexism, xenophobia, anti-Semitism and violence that Trump has mainstreamed and normalized, and I’m not inclined to snark about it. And, besides, “trump” already has a slang meaning: It means “to fart audibly” in Great Britain — and that definition is already in the Oxford English Dictionary. And it frankly didn’t seem possible to make Donald Trump’s name any more revolting than he already has. If I may paraphrase the amazing letter the New York Times sent to Trump after he demanded they retract a story about the women he’s assaulted: Nothing I could say in my sex column could even slightly elevate the feelings of disgust decent people experience whenever they hear his name. Mr. Trump, through his own words and actions, has already redefined his last name. But then your email arrived, MADDER, and I set aside the column I was already working on to rush your idea into print. Because your suggestion — that parents call the conversation they need to have with their daughters about predatory and entitled men the “Trump Talk” — is just as fitting and apt as the “frothy mixture” definition of santorum. It’s not trivial and it’s not snarky. It has gravitas, MADDER, and here’s hoping “Trump Talk” isn’t just widely adopted, but universally practiced. Because no little girl who gets groped on a bus or in a grocery store or on a subway or in a classroom should ever have to wonder if she did something This is an excerpt from Oct. 20th’s Savage wrong.

Common Sense for Boulder County • Expertise with regulatory bodies, including FDA & EPA, and Boulder County Land Use Department. • Member of Boulder County Placement Alternatives Commission, managing seven Social Services programs to keep families together, from 1992-2002. • Volunteer Victim Advocate with Boulder County Sherriff’s Office since 2001.

KEVIN SAYS: Boulder County’s budget is going wild. In 2004 the budget was $223 million. The 2016 budget approved last December was $426 million. During 2016, the budget has increased to $474 million and there’s still two months left. That means we’re adding $1.26 Million to the approved 2016 budget every week. While not performing the Core Services like road maintenance and public safety. If I’m elected we’ll live within our budget, perform the core services, and bring common sense back to spending our taxpayer’s money.

What I’m Fighting Against

• Wasteful spending and excessive taxation • County officials making up their own laws • Regulations that • Inadequate attack small government services to businesses unincorporated areas

Boulder Weekly

veto power repeatedly to quash illconceived big spending schemes. Unlike our leaders in Washington, D.C., Gov. Johnson balanced the budget every year he was in office — something Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have shown no capacity for doing. As was noted during the final presidential debate moderated by Chris Wallace, the independent, fiscal responsibility group the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget says Clinton would increase the deficit by $200 billion over 10 years, while Trump would increase it by a full $5.3 trillion over 10 years. In either case, that constitutes a massive debt load to be added to our existing $19 trillion debt, which is already costing us dearly. These are not sane or sound proposals, and they do not come from serious people. Gov. Johnson opposes the mass surveillance of hundreds of millions of ordinary Americans, including you and me, that Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump support, and which has been conducted by both the Bush and Obama administrations. Unlike Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, Gov. Johnson has never operated on the naïve presumption that if the U.S. plays nice with Vladimir Putin’s regime, American foreign policy goals or global peace will be furthered. Gov. Johnson is the only candidate who supports a broad range of criminal justice reforms, including with regard to flawed drug laws. As a governor, he was tough on crime, but recognized the counterproductive effects of aspects of the war on drugs — a realization that it has taken others decades to reach — as well as the economic benefits that come with immigration and free trade. Gov. Johnson also happens to be the most long-standing supporter of government recognizing same-sex marriages of all three of the candidates. Ironically, he is the most pro-life of all three, opposing late-term abortions just like most Americans do. Contrary to what Donald Trump asserted in the last debate, he is on record as supporting keeping partialbirth abortion fully legal, and Hillary Clinton is of course a staunch defender of it. Gov. Johnson does not share these controversial views. The sad truth is that in 2016, the major parties nominated unacceptable, unsupportable people, in defiance of public opinion and common sense. But Colorado voters should not stay home on Election Day, or pick between these two terrible choices. They should, instead, cast a vote they Boulder Weekly

can feel good about and send a message: Support Gov. Johnson, and send a message to those who got us to this place — “never again.” Liz Mair is the communications director of Republicans for Johnson-Weld, and a former adviser to Carly Fiorina, Rick Perry, Rand Paul and Scott Walker. She served as the Republican National Committee’s online communications director in 2008. This guest perspective does not necessarily reflect the views of Boulder Weekly.

wild sarsaparilla could be gone, making it very Artist Matthew Mazzotta difficult for those species to survive. includes his audience in his “They’re here as remnants from the climates art, attempting to transform the public landscape in the that we had 10,000 years ago and they found process. their refuges up here, in these cool, moist canyons, and those are the kinds of plants that will likely be in trouble if we are in a warming, drying trend,” Riedel says. To add to the issue, bees survive off of these types of plants, so if the environment where these plants flourish is destroyed, bees will have a hard time finding food. “One of the big issues is decline in the species that create their food,” Riedel says. The Harm to Table event was free, so people walking down Pearl Street had the chance to stop and eat while learning about the resources they were consuming. People would stop and ask volunteers, other Boulder residents and Mazzotta about the table. Mazzotta’s art attempts to transform the public landscape through the use of social practice, an art form that focuses on the participatory efforts of individuals, communities and institutions to finalize the creation of a piece of art. To start a project like Harm to Table, Mazzotta says he starts by talking directly to the people of the community to determine what problems they are facing. Then he comes up with an art piece that can make those issues tangible. “Art can provide that platform, this third space, where people can actually have an authentic dialogue and let their curiosities be sparked, and then enter into a conversation with someone that they live with, but might not know,” Mazzotta says. For example, in York, Alabama, he gathered information from the residents and determined they were sorely lacking in a permanent community space. To combat this, Mazzotta worked to design a small house-like structure that folds out into a 100-seat open air theater for the public to have a free gathering place, called Open House. Mazzotta used materials from the demolished remains of derelict buildings around York to create the structure. For Harm to Table, Mazzotta relied on information from Riedel and climate scientists to formulate his ideas, met with local Boulder chefs to prepare the dishes with the specific ingredients and offered the foodie town of Boulder a good meal and an interesting conversation. Like Mazzotta’s other work, Harm to Table was community driven, and the environmentally conscious citizens of Boulder offered conversation and participation that shaped the overall composition of the piece. “Many people sat and had conversations and got to have some meaning come from the project,” Mazzotta says. “So I think ... this is a particular type of art that can be good for Boulder.” Up next, Mazzotta’s “Open House” will be making an appearance in a show called “By The People” at Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum in New York City.

The magic journey

How David Burg ended up with the enviable job of taking people skiing and surfing in wonderful places

IMAGINE YOU’RE a skier, a

person who loves the snow and the mountains, someone who would do anything to make a life that involves adventure, snow and exotic places. Then imagine that you don’t really know that you’re that kind of person, don’t really know what you want to do with your career, and accidentally find yourself in the Andes, with nowhere to go and no friends or relations to lean on. That’s exactly the situation University of Colorado Boulder graduate David Burg found himself in. The Arizona native had come to CU for the mountains and skiing. His goal was to study business, but he admits, “My math scores were too shitty, so they didn’t let me into the business school, but let me into the arts and sciences.” That change of plans led him to major in political science, which in turn led him to a position working as the Boulder County field coordinator for the ill-fated FasTracks initiative. His story might have ended in Washington, D.C., or down in Denver at the state Capitol, but everything changed when he moved to Argentina on a whim in 2010. Boulder Weekly

by Tom Winter

“I was always snow-obsessed,” Burg says of his move to the southern hemisphere. “I didn’t want to be a backpacker. I didn’t want to go hosteling around. Buenos Aires was where I first ended up, but I wanted to experience the culture and went to Bariloche.” Burg says he was looking for the kind of environment that ski bums in Europe and North America take for granted, a place that had cultural and civic amenities but also proximity to the mountains. Bariloche, a small bustling city nestled on a lake 20 minutes away from the lifts of nearby Catedral Alta Patagonia ski area, one of South America’s biggest resorts, was the ideal choice. “I went there a couple of weeks,” Burg says. “I was couch surfing and my couch surfing host was having problems with his roommate and asked me if I wanted to move in. Then about two months later, I was with an Argentinian friend of mine in a bar, who asked me if I knew about the gringos in the backcountry up at the mountain. I was looking for a season pass at Catedral, because they cost over $2,000 for the season. It turns out that the gringos were with an adventure travel compa-

ny called South American Snow With South American Sessions.” Snow Sessions, David Burg gets to ski and surf At that time, all year long. South American Snow Sessions (SASS) was part of the burgeoning adventure travel business. The company brought snowboarders to the Andes on all-inclusive trips, showcasing the wild, exotic terrain of Catedral to powder-hungry shredders from the United States. “I wrote an email to them,” Burg recalls. “And the guy I connected with, who is no longer with the company, also happened to be a CU grad and was the director of marketing, so I pitched him to do some online marketing in trade for a season pass and he said, ‘yes.’” Burg admits when he was making his pitch that he knew pretty much nothing about online marketing. But, he says, he was able to learn through tutorials and other information he found on the web, teaching himself quickly so he could see SKIING AND SURFING Page 28

keep his pass and keep skiing the steep, powder-flocked slopes of one of the best ski areas in the Andes. Apparently he did a good job, because he ended up being offered a full-time position, which, in hindsight turned out to be one of the most challenging moments of his life. “It had been a huge year, with 80 people at the camp,” says Burg, who thought that the full-time job offer was his big break. “But for reasons unknown to me, SASS was experiencing financial difficulties, and was over extended. Right after I had been hired full time, the company became insolvent.” As the season ended in South America, Burg returned to New Hampshire, where the SASS offices were. But when the original owner of the company decided to bail to pursue other opportunities, Burg and a few other core employees were left holding the bag. “It was myself and a few of the guys, as we were the people who were left,” recalls Burg of the moment that changed his life. “We made the decision to restart the company. One of the guys, Travis Moore (currently managing director of SASS), asked me if I knew how to start a company and if I knew how to create an LLC and run some accounting software, and I did.” That moment was in October 2010. SASS is now seven years old, and Burg is still the “finance guy,” but he’s also a lot more: a cheerleader, trip organizer, rental gear tech and, still, at heart, the couch surfing ski bum who washed up in Bariloche years ago. “That moment in 2010 when we restarted the company was a great opportunity for me to walk away,” Burg recalls. “Why throw myself in front of this bus? I was living on $800 bucks a month and I lived in the office. Travis got us a gym membership so we could shower and I was sleeping on the floor on a futon until our landlord discovered us living there,” he says with a laugh. “Our landlord was cool about it, but he did tell us we had to stop living there!” “We had a lot of fun,” he adds. “We’ve come a long way. But it made sense to me through the ups and downs. I feel pretty privileged to have a job that doesn’t feel like work. That made it worth it.” Still, restarting the company wasn’t easy. “The biggest low point in my life was restarting the company after it had hurt a lot of people,” Burg admits. “To have people not like you because of the actions of the predecessors was really tough, especially because we were trying to right a lot of wrongs.” But, Burg says, it’s worked out in the end. “There’s been a lot of high points,” he says. “One was in 2012 when we met some people from Aspen who owned a surf school in Puerto Rico and we were able to purchase the school. That made our business year-round and that’s when SASS Global Travel came about. It was our first successful venture into the surf world.” Japan was another high point. The SASS team had been working with another travel company in Japan, and finally took their first exploratory trip there with a handful of clients in 2013. That trip allowed SASS to begin offering ski trips to the Land of The Rising Sun in 2014. “Being on the cusp of Japan’s emergence on the freeskiing scene was a very cool experience for us; from 2013 to now has been wild,” Burg says. While he may not be rich, Burg is happy, and that’s the key to life, he says. “None of us make the best money in this industry, but people don’t realize that there is an opportunity, if you take a risk, to have your job align with your passion. You might give up the stability of an everyday paycheck, but it’s worth it.” He adds, “You need to make the choices to do something because you love it, and if you do that, you won’t look back. If you wake up and it feels like it is what you’re supposed to be doing, then you are doing it right.” With itineraries that include skiing in the Andes and Japan, surfing in Puerto Rico and other exotic adventures in the works, Burg, who goes on plenty of these trips, is apparently “doing it right.” So what other secrets can he share? Just a simple one that made all the difference for him, and which can make all the difference for you. “If you grew up in the United States,” he says. “You have the gift of a passport that can take you all over the world. Some people can never get a visa to visit places that we can walk in the door and go to. So go explore places, it gives you a better perspective.” Even if that perspective comes from surfing a couch in a far away land.

Local printmaking studio celebrates artist collaborations in HOVAB @ Macky exhibit BY CLAIRE WOODCOCK

“Jacket, Bag, Dress, Watch, Ring” by Teresa Booth Brown

MASTER PRINTER BUD SHARK wouldn’t describe himself as the artist behind the prints at his studio, but more as a facilitator of the works others come there to create. “I had good skills and I could make things that were interesting, but they weren’t as strong as the work that the other artists that I work with made,” he says. For the past 40 years, Shark’s work has become an integral part of the printmaking scene in Boulder County. He opened his studio back in the ’70s, later calling it Shark’s Ink, and has since worked with local, national and international artists. The studio prints are included in private and public collections across the U.S., including The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. Shark is inspired by the artists that come to collaborate, to help them uncover their own vision and to bring it out onto the paper. “Some people have a skill or an approach that makes their art interesting,” he see SHARK Page 32

In the late ’50s, Shark started studying the art of printmaking, specifically lithography, the process of printing from a surface treated to repel ink except on the desired designed. He received his bachelor’s degree at University of Wisconsin, Madison and his master’s degree at University of New Mexico, Albuquerque. He then went to Los Angeles to work at one of the only printmaking studios that specialized in lithographic art in the United States at the time. He also spent four years in London printing for studios Editions Alecto and Petersburg Press, where he worked with British artists, such as Henry Moore and David Hockney. When he returned to Colorado, he was burnt out and even considered giving up printmaking. He took a job as a sign painter and worked in construction for a while. As printmaking saw a resurgence in the early ’70s, Shark noticed interest in the community brewing and an opportunity for him to lend his skills and expertise. He bought a press and opened up Shark’s Lithography Ltd. in 1976, with his wife Barbara, a writer and artist in her own right. Several years later, the contract shop became Shark’s Ink and has since developed a reputation for bringing art to Boulder County.

expert of his craft. ON THE BILL: Talk “I’m not really interested in just reproducing with Bud Shark. 6:30 p.m. an image that an artist has created,” he says. “In a Tuesday, Nov. 15, BMoCA, 1750 13th St., Boulder, 303complicated print, there may have been a painting 443-2122. or a drawing that we’re basing it on with the composition and some of the colors, but the idea is to HOVAB @ Macky: Shark’s Ink. BMoCA at Macky, 285 make it [original].” University Ave., Boulder, In 1998, Shark’s Ink moved from Boulder to 303-492-8423. Through Lyons. The Sharks also moved right next to the Nov. 18. studio, and started letting artists stay with them, sharing meals together and giving more personal help with their lithographic prints. Their home studio sits among the rolling hills that Boulder County is famed for, providing plenty of inspiration. When artists come to stay, Shark says, it’s like family members coming home. Shark is known for the bonds he creates with artists, like Lyons artist Theresa Booth Brown. Her piece “Jacket, Bag, Dress, Watch, Ring” is one of the prints on display with Shark’s exhibit at BMoCA. She calls Bud a “magic translator.” “He almost knew what I needed to do or what I was about to do or what the next step was with my work,” she says. “That’s a very personal thing that an artist navigates on their own, finishing their own work. But he’s worked with so many artists and knows so many ways of working, I think he’s very intuitive about everybody’s different process and what needs to be done next.” Booth Brown says that Shark visited her studio several times when they first began contemplating project ideas and really learned how she works when making her own paintings and drawings. “He translates the technology of printmaking and marries that with [the artist’s] process,” she says. “He brings to the world projects that never would be without his knowledge and his expertise.” Throughout the decades of collaboration, Shark’s Ink has published over 2,700 prints in lithography, monotype and woodcut. Today, printmaking is experiencing a comeback, and Shark says it’s a reaction against digital technology. “People are responding to the materials. It’s a much more involved and direct kind of use of materials. I think if you get too absorbed in it, you find that you’re actually limited,” he says of graphic design. Currently, the University of Colorado Boulder is sinking its teeth into “The Sharkive,” which includes 600 prints and a couple thousand related materials such as stencils, notes from artists and Shark, as well as color proofs from prints in that collection. These materials will be donated to the CU Boulder Museum’s study room so that students, scholars and community members have access to the process that the Sharks have used for the last 40 years. With this catalogue, Shark’s work will continue to impact and influence the art landscape of Boulder County.

overtones Haydn’s happy creation

Pro Musica Colorado joins with Colorado Masterworks Chorus by Peter Alexander

Glenn Ross

here is lightning and thunder, leaping tigers and creeping serpents. All of that and more is portrayed musically in The Creation by Joseph Haydn, but conductor Cynthia Katsarelis wants you to know that they are happy tigers. “It’s almost two hours of ecstatic happiness,” she says of Haydn’s oratorio, which she will conduct this weekend in Denver and Boulder with the Pro Musica Colorado Chamber Orchestra and the Colorado Masterworks Chorus. Soloists will be soprano Amanda Balestrieri, tenor Steven Soph and bass Jeffrey Seppala. To understand all of that happiness, it is helpful to know the background of the piece. In 1791 Haydn was in London for a series of concerts presenting his symphonies before enthusiastic English audiences. In May and June of that year, he attended the annual Handel Festival at Westminster Abbey, where he heard Messiah and other Handel oratorios. Deeply impressed, he wanted to write a similar work of his own. Several years later he was given a text, describing the biblical six days of creation and the Garden of Eden. The German text Haydn received was translated into English by the director of the Imperial Library in Vienna, Baron Gottfried van Swieten. Although van Sweiten’s English was sometimes clumsy, his translation did draw upon the English texts that had inspired the German libretto, taken from the King James Bible and Milton’s Paradise Lost. That English text is often preferred for performances of The Creation, and it is the version that Katsarelis chose. “I really want the English recitatives to be in the King James English,” she says. “And the text painting (the musical depiction of the text) is so delightful I don’t want anybody to miss it — the words for snow, hail, thunder, lightening, tiger and so forth.” Haydn’s charming musical descriptions of the creatures and other aspects of creation are one source of the music’s Boulder Weekly

Another is that the work doesn’t have the dramatic tension of dates from the Enlightenment, a time anything bad happening,” Katsarelis when people were optimistic about the says. “It’s amazing that it can be so world — that and the fact that Haydn happy for two hours, but it’s kind of ends the story with Adam and Eve’s difficult to maintain.” happy first hours in the Garden of On the other hand, she appreciates Eden, before the fall. the cheerfulness because of the tense “I think it’s a product of its time,” and threatening times we live in. “I was Katsarelis says. “There’s the creation and it’s good.

Local art program #TreeOpp teaches wood skills to the homeless by Sarah Haas

here is an unmistakeable sound of a woodshop — of the lathes, routers and lasers cutting, etching, carving — all absorbed and echoed in the resounding wood. Inside BLDG 61, the Makerspace at the Boulder Public Library, the woodshop is humming. Six months after the space opened, a group of eight apprentices are there to learn the basics of the craft. A month into the threemonth program, the participants are already familiar with the materials and the first flashes of inspiration are striking. They are beginning to imagine all the potential for creation in their new medium. One woman, Dana, shares an idea she has for the wood she holds in her hand: to transform the block into a butterfly. The idea catches on and soon the apprentices are carving dozens of blocks into butterflies as if to enact the metamorphosis the insect symbolizes. For Dana, it represents the transformation into sobriety. For others, from homelessness to housing, from unemployment to skilled woodworker. And still there is another story, the journey of the wood itself, once a living ash tree, now art. Each of these stories is an equally important part of #TreeOpp, a program that trains homeless clients of Bridge House’s Ready to Work Program to make furniture and art from trees felled as a result of the invasive emerald ash borer (EAB). EAB first came to Boulder in September 2013 signaling the inevitable demise of the city’s entire population of ash trees. An exotic beetle, EAB is native to Asia and is thought to have been carried to the United States in wood packaging aboard cargo ships. The adult beetles nibble on ash foliage causing little damage, but the larvae live and feed on the inner bark of the trees, causing irreparable harm to the tree’s circulatory systems. There are approximately 6,000 ash trees on public land in the City of Boulder and 78,000 on private land. In the next two months alone, the City will

Boulder Weekly

take down about 200 trees, which are then transported to a lot where, restricted by the quarantine on EAB-infested wood, they await either a landfill or incinerator. EAB is confirmed to exist in 28 states and communities across the country are wondering what to do with all that wood. Some have milling and lumber industries that can accommodate the

While they were in the newspaper business, the brothers sought to create informed and engaged communities through journalism. Now their legacy continues with their foundation funding Courtesy of City of Boulder projects in the arts, journalism, technology and community development. “We think that art is a very strong route towards engagement, to tell stories of the people in a community and to form a stronger attachment to place,” says George Abbott, from the community and national initiatives program at the Knight Foundation. “In turn they will be more inclined to seek out the information about where they live. In some ways the engagement is like the demand side of the equation, and journalism and information is the supply.

Last Hike Before Leaving Montana by Patricia Traxler

Late winter, almost spring. It’s like finding a diamond; now I don’t want to leave. I sit in the dirt and put my hands in your tracks. For the first time in a long time I don’t doubt. Now I know I always knew you were here. You are the beginning of disclosure, the long-felt presence Suddenly incarnate. Behind me my friend warns, If we see the bear, get into a fetal position. No problem, I tell her, I’m always in a fetal position—I was born in a fetal position. Did you know, she says, the body of a shaved bear looks exactly like a human man? I skip a stone, feel a sudden bloat of grief, then laugh. I ask her, Who would shave a bear? We climb

Farther up Rattlesnake Creek, watch winter sun glitter off dark water. No matter how high we go I look higher. Sometimes absence can prove presence. That’s not exactly faith, I know. All day, everywhere, I feel you near at hand. There’s so much to understand, and everything to prove. Up high the air is thin and hard, roars in the ears like love.

screen Muted meditations

‘Certain Women’ lead lives of quiet desperation   by Ryan Syrek

giggle, snicker and titter anytime someone opens the thesaurus piñata to describe a film like Certain Women with synonyms like “quietly modest” or “methodically enthralling.” It’s slow. Certain Women is slow. Admittedly, it’s purposefully slow. It fits into director Kelly Reichardt’s overall approach, which is very slow. Gussy up your adjectives until they’re bedazzled, you still mean slow. But that’s not a bad thing. Just as hyperactive pacing can throttle a thrilling narrative, glacial movement can serve to underscore tone and theme in profound ways. And such is the case with Certain Women, my favorite of Reichardt’s films and one of the best I’ve seen this year. Reichardt’s screenplay is adapted from the short stories of Maile Meloy, whose book Both Ways Is the Only Way I Want It both describes my nacho preference and got insta-purchased after watching the adaptation. Following three intersecting lives A Robert Altman-esque adaptation of a collection of short stories, this muted drama tells the tale in Montana, none of which are of three women. None of the events are particuovertly dramatic, the film opens larly thrilling, but they all serve to reinforce the strength and emotional complexity of modern with Laura (Laura Dern), a lawwomen in the face of both the ordinary and the yer dealing with a client, and awful. Fuller ( Jared Harris), whose workplace injury claim is not going so hot. Toxic masculinity being the cocktail that it is, Fuller finally believes it when a male attorney tells him what Laura has been telling him — that his case is borked — and promptly goes NRA-nutso. Of course, this leaves Laura to negotiate a hostage situation without bloodshed because a woman’s work is never done, even at gunpoint. On the surface, the second story of Gina (Michelle Williams) and Ryan ( James Le Gros) is far less significant. Unless you consider the purchasing of quality sandstone for a newly built home to be titillating. And yet, the way Gina uses Ryan to ply the desired stones from aged curmudgeon Albert (Rene Auberjonois) is a deft bit of feminism, especially given the context of Ryan’s infantilizing of his wife to their daughter. Finally, the best of the bunch is a tale of unspoken affection told in gestures, as Jamie (Lily Gladstone), a soft-spoken ranch hand, falls for Beth (Kristen Stewart), a lawyer teaching an education law class in a small town. Jamie couldn’t care less about the subject but is gravitationally drawn to Beth, making Beth’s decision to surrender her position just terribly, quietly heartbreaking. No shocker: Reichardt gets the absolute best from the entirety of her cast. Dern is the divine epitome of exhausted competence, Williams cuts a beleaguered but brilliant wife and Gladstone and Stewart share more emotional depth in silence and space than the dump truck of spilled words often given to listlessly loving, non-couple couples. What’s particularly great, besides the film’s uncanny ability to replicate the sensation of reading a heady, well-collected, complementary collection of short stories, is the tactful feminism deployed in casual asides and male absence. I loved Certain Women. I loved it in a way that people have loved other works by Reichardt, which makes me happy. I always knew she was profoundly talented, but her work had never hit me so flush before, never piercing my target directly. Certain Women, to this specific man, is a goddamn bullseye slowly struck. This review previously appeared in The Reader of Omaha, Nebraska.

film The beast within

35 years on, ‘The Howling’ still packs a wallop by Michael J. Casey

he beauty of cinema is that nothing is ON THE BILL: The what it seems. Images are not literal Howling. 7:30 p.m. explanations, but visual descriptions of Saturday, Oct. 29, an emotional experience, and few cineInternational Film Series, Muenzinger Auditorium, matic genres drive this point home like 1905 Colorado Ave., the horror film. Full of bloodletting, carnal terror Boulder, 303-492-1531. and haunting imagery, these movies confront the internationalfilmseries.com demons under our bed by casting them out into the light where we can see them for the monsters they are. By doing so we confront and conquer them, exiting the theater feeling a little bit better about things. Intrepid viewers can experience this catharsis any time of the year, but Halloween especially draws out the spooks for a scare and the International Film Series will feature a one-two-punch of werewolf-themed horror with The Company of Wolves on Oct. 30 and Joe Dante’s 1981 sensation, The Howling, on Oct. 29, both with introductions by novelist and CU faculty member, Stephen Graham Jones. Between the New York City crime drama Wolfen, the iconic An America Werewolf in London and the LA-based horror comedy The Howling, something lycan was in the air back in 1981. It is unknown why werewolves were suddenly popular again — they had been dormant for the better part of three decades — but with The Howling, they came roaring back with new fangs, razor sharp claws and bone crackling transformations. No longer encumbered by basic mythology, these werewolves could transform at will and hide among us as normal citizens. That also meant they were susceptible to the trappings of modern day society, and in Los Angeles, that means selfhelp/self-actualization and vapid social structures. The novel The Howling was taken from was apparently humorless, but with John Sayles on the script and Joe Dante behind the camera — the two were fresh off the 1978 cult-hit, Piranha — The Howling became something that was both silly and scary, often at the same time. The story revolves around Karen (Dee Wallace), a TV news anchor being stalked by a mysterious sexual predator (Robert Picardo). After an all-too-close call, Karen is sent to a self-actualization commune up California’s coast. It doesn’t take Karen long to realize that something is up with the inhabitants of “the Colony,” and it takes the audience even less time to piece together that they are all werewolves lying in wait. This is thanks to Dante’s clever and humorous flair for production design — cans of Wolf Brand Chili and copies of Allen Ginsberg’s Howl are hidden in plain sight — and his acute understanding of what is truly terrifying. Werewolves are scary, but they are not real. However, sexual assault is, and it is terrifying. By combining the two, Dante and Sayles offer a commentary that isn’t confined to the horror genre or the year it was released. Consider the scene where an armed police officer shoots before he thinks. When The Howling was released in 1981, there was no way that Dante and Sayles could have predicted the current political climate — particularly the issue of acceptable police force. They didn’t need to; movies don’t have an expiration date. The Howling may be 35 years old, but age is just a number. Insight is eternal. Boulder Weekly

deep dish

Caitlin Rockett

BY CAITLIN ROCKETT

n the heart of downtown Louisville, tucked just far enough away from Main Street to create a mood entirely its own, Zucca’s stucco storefront beckons patrons in, where good wine and warm, herbed focaccia bread are the answer to life’s many worries. My mother, who lived in Verona, Italy, for the better part of a year during her 20s, used to assure me that most of life’s day-to-day problems could be soothed by a good Italian meal shared with close friends — and wine. Not too much, but not too little.

Three Leaf Farms just down the road in Lafayette. It’s easy to feel smitten with the vegetables at Zucca as they seem to outshine even the most delicious cut of beef or slice of fish. The roasted purple potatoes that came with my dining partner’s bistecca (hanger steak) were so royal in color I mistook them for beets at first.

When veggies are the star

Local veggies make Zucca’s swordfish shine And that always sounded like good advice to me. Too windy to sit on the restaurant’s patio on an otherwise warm October evening, Zucca’s interior immediately erased any dismay at having to give up plans of an al fresco meal. A small bar gives patrons a place to huddle close together to chat about wine or love (or politics), while the dining room offers a more open, but equally cozy, environment. Zucca is the place to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries, a place to meet friends and laugh over pasta. It’s small without being cramped, and its soft lighting, stucco walls, beamed ceilings and heavy wooden tables lend the eatery a comforting rustic vibe. The word zucca means pumpkin (or gourd) in Italian, which makes the variety of colorful and bumpy gourds on display at Zucca make sense, and adds to that bucolic atmosphere. Zucca is one of six restaurants under the Three Leaf Concepts umbrella, which means that many of the ingredients in Zucca’s dishes are harvested at

Boulder Weekly

But nothing quite topped the mix of vegetables that comes with the grilled swordfish: soft heirloom tomatoes, crunchy green beans, roasted fingerling potatoes and fried capers, all served atop tarragon aioli. Swordfish is perhaps the perfect grilled food, with its texture residing somewhere between pork and tuna; it’s juicy and meaty and gives off that ideal ocean smell (fresh, not fishy). When it’s done just right, it has a slightly crunchy exterior around its edges that acts as the perfect foil to the chewy meat inside. But what made this perfectly grilled piece of fish shine were the vegetables and tarragon aioli. These are vegetables grown locally, and it’s obvious. The tomatoes were juicy without being grainy (an unfortunate side effect that often shows up in hot house tomatoes), and the green beans were bright green

and crisp. Aioli is a fundamentally Mediterranean sauce, and it is not, despite what you may have heard on the street, just a flavored mayonnaise. It should be rich without being heavy, and when combined with tarragon, it makes a perfect pair with fish. Despite a belly full of food, I found that I left Zucca lighter than I came. Our cheeks rosy from glasses of wine, we felt soothed by an evening of good food and good conversation. Zucca Italian Ristorante. 808 Main St., Louisville, 303-666-6499.

Dishing chicken shawarma, smoky baba ghanoush, fresh hummus, parsley tabbouleh, dolmas and pita Each plate of food loaves in Boulder was the last thing Manal expected to from Arabesque is made from scratch be doing after becoming one of the first Palestinianby Manal Jarrar. Arab ballerinas in Israel. Dining at the seven-year-old Arabesque is like dinner at her house and eating what Manal likes to eat. It is authentic food made from scratch, not the cheaper, faster Middle Eastern fare. Servers help her with the lunch rush but Manal is the prima — the only one allowed to cook and plate the food. Susan France Breakfast items include quiche, a veggie-packed Mediterranean omelet with freshly baked warm pita and fresh fruit, pastries and French press or Arabic coffee. Soups, a Caesar salad with smoked salmon, and beef shawarma sandwiches are available for lunch. The spicy, milky chai pairs well with creamy tiramisu and Manal’s baklava packed with ground walnuts, but not swimming in honey. We talked at cardamom-scented Arabesque recently after it had closed for the day. However, that didn’t stop folks from poking their heads in, hoping to get a bite of something. Q: Where did you learn how to cook? A: My husband and I are Palestinian Israelis from the city of Acre. I grew up with three brothers and I learned about food from my mother and my aunt. These women were amazing! How could they put such food on the table with not much to work with except spices? I watched them cook as a child and saw how much the food meant to everyone. Q: What were some of your favorite dishes when you were growing up? A: I remember most the wonderful meat stews and the stuffed grape leaves. We lived near the Mediterranean. We would fry fresh whole fish and serve them with lemon juice and salt and homemade french fries. Sometimes I would go in their kitchen and I would just start crying because they were chopping so many onions. I didn’t want to smell like onions! Q: How did you become a ballerina and a dance teacher? A: When I was a little girl my aunt told my mother, “Your daughter is a dancer. She’s always walking on her toes.” I would go and watch through the window of a see NIBBLES Page 54

ballet studio and finally the teacher came out. She looked at me and said, “I’m going to teach you.” She told my mother she wouldn’t charge her. It was not traditional for an Arab woman to do ballet, but I wanted to dance. I started teaching in villages and created dance troupes for them. Q: When did you immigrate to the United States? A: My husband and I came in 1988 to the Washington, D.C. area. This country gave us a great sense of safety and security. My first job was at McDonald’s. My English was so poor I couldn’t teach dance. We moved to Texas and I started teaching. We moved to Boulder in 2006.

adding just the right spices. On Thursday only I make a special — roast chicken with potatoes. It always sells out. Q: Who eats at Arabesque? A: We have many regulars and visitors to Boulder. We get international students at CU, many from the Gulf States. It’s like a taste of home. Q: Sometimes you tell customers what to order. A: Some order the same thing every time. I tell them, ‘You’re going to try something new. I’m going to give you this and you have to eat it. It’s good to try new things.’ Q: You seem to love your own food. A: I sit here at the end of the day after everything is clean and put away. I make myself a plate of food and sit. I reward myself for the work.

Q: How did you end up with a restaurant? A: I had never thought about opening a restaurant. When my kids were in school their friends really liked the lunches I sent. They started taking extra to share. I started being a personal chef for the parents and they loved my food. I started to feel like I could do something. We opened in 2009 and I named it after the arabesque, the most important move in ballet. Q: Arabic coffee is very popular at Arabesque. A: When I was growing up, the women would roast the coffee beans for just the right amount of time and then throw in cardamom at the last minute. The coffee is ground very fine but it settles in the cup and is served black. People here ask me for milk. I say, “Try it first and tell me whether you need milk in it.” Q: Was it hard going from a home kitchen to a restaurant? A: Everything I do, everything I cook I care deeply about it. Everything’s supposed to take time, including eating. When it gets so busy and people are waiting, I worry. I had to think, “What can I do?” I talk to the people. I make a joke and give them personal attention when it’s their turn.

Q: How did you decide on the menu at Arabesque? A: The food is traditional, but I have to put my own signature on it. I knew I had to have the best hummus. I started making it myself the way I saw it at home, soaking dry beans and grinding them and 54 October 27, 2016

et’s get right to it: Nighthawk’s Brett ON TAP: Tropihop Tropical Saison is a dream. The Nighthawk Brewery. nose is fragrant, the body is creamy, the 2780 Industrial Lane, Broomfield, 720-262taste is bright and it features a good deal 3900. nighthawkbrewof malic acid in lieu of saison’s traditional ery.com black pepper backbone. And at 6% ABV, it’s the perfect beer for summertime, not those dreaded dog days of summer where everything is sticky and you spend your days sucking down Freon in front of the air conditioner, but early summertime. When the windows are open, the breeze is still a little cool and the world smells green. Those days should be behind us, it is October after all, but they aren’t. The thermometer broke 80 degrees last Saturday and looking ahead, weather.com has plenty of 70 and 60-degree days in the forecast. With no snow predicted into the first week of November, Susan France you might as well put away the skis and snowboards for a few more weeks and embrace the practically perfect weather outside with a delicious pint of beer. Thankfully, Nighthawk Brewery still has plenty of warm-weather brews on tap. Nighthawk is relatively new to the scene, but they know what they are doing and they are doing it right. Their welcoming and unpretentious digs feature 18 taps with a rotating selection of goodies to be consumed at the bar or at one of the quieter tables that fill the front room. I say quieter because there is a large room in the back where the warehouse is divided into a rec room full of dining tables, couches and arcade games for large gatherings. The night my associate and I visited, the rec room was overrun with screaming children wolfing down pizza and playing cornhole while their parents ignored their created chaos by downing pints of hefe and lager. Screaming children aren’t our speed, so we sought solace at one of the front tables and immediately loaded the surface with a plethora of snifters featuring Nighthawk’s diverse offerings. There wasn’t a bad one in the bunch, but the summer brews in particular beckoned me. Beers like the Brett Berliner (3.8%) — a full sour wheat that taste like a fresh Jolly Rancher — and the Randy’s Candy Berliner Weisse (3.8%) were positively giddy in the glass and rewound the clock back to June. While I busied myself with the lighter fare, my colleague handled the heavy lifting, singling out the Lamp Post Coffee Milk Stout (5%) — a nice, roasted stout with hints of chocolate and a touch of cold brew coffee — as her favorite. The Imperial Rye IPA (8.3%), with its pleasing mellow malt, came in a close second. All of these went down nicely with a hearty calzone — Nighthawk has a pizzathemed kitchen on the premises — and was capped off with a Trout Like Brown IPA (3.8%), a light and fragrant ale that frankly tastes a little like fall. You can almost hear the leaves crunch under your feet and feel the crisp smell of chilled pine as you drink. How apropos. The sun had set, the wind blew a cool breeze and leaves danced along the pavement. Today may feel like summer, but that won’t last forever. Boulder Weekly

TAURUS

APRIL 20-MAY 20: At any one time, over 2 million frozen

human embryos are stored in tissue banks throughout Europe and North America. When the time is right, their owners retrieve them and bring them to term. That’s the first scenario I invite you to use as a metaphor for your life in the coming weeks. Here’s a second scenario: Scotch whisky is a potent mind-altering substance. Any particular batch must mature for at least three years, and may be distilled numerous times. There are currently 20 million barrels of the stuff mellowing in Scottish warehouses. And what do these two scenarios have to do with you? It’s time to tap into resources that you’ve been saving in reserve — that haven’t been ripe or ready until now. Halloween costume suggestions: a woman who’s nine months pregnant; a blooming rose or sunflower; ripe fruit.

MAY 21-JUNE 20: To create a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon, a winemaker needs about 700 grapes. Compare this process with rain-making. When water vapor that’s high in the sky becomes dense enough, it condenses into tiny pearls of liquid called cloud droplets. If the humidity rises even further, a million of these babies might band together to form a single raindrop that falls to earth. And what does this have to do with your life? I suspect that in the coming weeks, you will have both an affinity and a skill for processes that resemble wine-making and rain-making. You’ll need a lot of raw material and energetic effort to produce a relatively small marvel — but that’s exactly as it should be. Halloween costume suggestion: a raindrop or bottle of wine.

fun and healthy to add fresh elements to our lives, but it’s also crucial to dispose of things that hurt and distort us. Even your body is a hotbed of both activities, constantly killing off old cells and generating new ones. But in my understanding, you are now in a phase when there’s far more creation than destruction. Enjoy the exalted buzz!

These are the kinds of tasks I trust you will focus on in the coming weeks. It’s time to be very practical and concrete. Halloween costume suggestion: Mr. or Ms. Fix-It.

OCT. 23-NOV. 21: During this Halloween season, you have cosmic permission to be a bigger, bolder and extra beguiling version of yourself.

Maybe she was happy with that arrangement, but I think she cheated herself. And so I offer her action as an example of what you should NOT do.

Get mad!

of it this way: If your ass got fucked every time you said yes to sex, WOES, you wouldn’t say yes to sex seven nights a week.) If you expanded your definition of sex, WOES, if your options weren’t PIV or nothing, you might not have to masturbate six nights a week. Because if your definition of sex included oral (his and hers), mutual masturbation and frottage — and if these weren’t consolation prizes you settled for, but sex you were enthusiastic about — your wife might say yes to sex more often. Still, you’re never going to get it seven nights a week. So make the most of the PIV you’re getting, broaden your definition of sex and get another night or two of sex in per week, and enjoy porn without guilt the rest of the week. And if you’re concerned about the amount of porn you’re watching, try this trick: Lie on the couch or the floor or the guest bed, stroke your cock (even if it’s soft), and think dirty thoughts. Your cock will get hard, I promise, and you’ll get off. It’s how most people masturbated before the internet came and ruined everything, WOES, and it still works.

The term is also used in policy, law and has thus found its place in popular culture, too, but the utility of the word is not the reason it came into such broad use. The Oxford English Dictionary traces the word back to the spanish word “marihuana” likely stemming from the Nahuatl “mallihuan,” meaning prisoner. Its rise in use came at the turn of the 20th century when Mexicans immigrated to California in masses, fleeing the Mexican Revolution, bringing marijuana with them. It wasn’t that California didn’t have cannabis, but rather that Californians at the time were used to getting it in a processed form from pharmacists. The word was relatively uncommon until it was popularized by Harry Anslinger, the first commissioner of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics who sought to criminalize cannabis. While the motives behind his campaign against cannabis are up for debate, it’s generally agreed upon that Anslinger’s use of the word “marijuana” was strategic. At the time, in the early 1930s, the Getting stoned, high, baked — the list of words to majority of Americans were opposed to immigration describe the experience is long and varied. While they and criminalizing cannabis with a Mexican word suc- may seem harmless, people most involved in legalized cessfully played to those racist attitudes. cannabis increasingly associate them with the era of For that reason, many working in and around prohibition when cannabis was sold on black markets. legalized cannabis markets avoid using the word “marNot only was there political pressure to demonize ijuana” with a strong preference for “cannabis,” the the drug, but there was motivation to disguise use scientific name of the plant.

Those in and close to the legal market are peering at what may very well be the beginning of the end of prohibition. Federal legalization is attractive to industry insiders, social justice advocates and many consumers. For all of these groups, it is important to change the way that cannabis is perceived. Like any other product in a capitalist culture it needs to be rebranded. Last May, I talked to David Schmader, a long time columnist with The Stranger in Seattle and author of a book on cannabis culture, who warned that “stereotypes are reductive at best and diabolical at worst.” “Its like being the spectator of an experience versus describing your own,” he said. “The words we use are meant to vilify weed, not to describe the pleasures of weed ... I find it to be such a great pleasure. I just don’t want people to believe lies about weed.” Lately, whenever I imbibe cannabis, I have been paying particular attention to how I feel. My instinct is to describe the sensations as being stoned, paranoid or high but what I really mean to say is something else entirely. What happens in that altered state of mind is that I recognize how tired I feel from working three jobs, a thought I can’t really afford to have most of the time. By paranoid I mean to acknowledge that I feel anxious about meeting expectations — mine or someone else’s, I’m not sure. Either way, I am nervous that somehow I shouldn’t consume cannabis, that it is a distraction from the more productive life I ought to be pursuing. But with cannabis in my body, I am loudly confronted with the sensory world. Instead of worried, I find myself delighted with the sunshine streaming through fall trees and the sound of flocks of birds surfing the wind and the opportunity to experience and describe the world I live in all over again.

cannabis corner A pleasant October surprise from Gallup

he Gallup Poll usually asks its marijuana legalization question in October, and this year’s produced only pleasant October surprises. The main finding of the poll is that support among American adults for legalizing marijuana has reached 60 percent, the highest percentage since Gallup first polled on the issue in 1969. In 1969 support stood at just 12 percent of those surveyed. This year’s number is notable for a couple of reasons. First, it is the second national poll to find 60 percent support for legalization this year. (The other was the Pew organization.) Second, it puts to rest a lingering doubt raised by Gallup’s results over the last four years. In 2013, Gallup found support for marijuana legalization at 58 percent, a sharp increase from 2012, when it was at 50 percent. (The 50 percent number was still a new record at the time.) But in 2014, support for legalization fell back to 51 percent. Which raised a question as to which one of the numbers was an outlier. In 2015, Gallup found support for legalization was back at 58 percent, suggesting that the 2014 number was the outlier. And this year’s 60 percent result reinforces that supposition. However, it’s also possible that the 2014 drop in support represented not a statistical anomaly but rather a real, temporary, one-year drop in support. Colorado and Washington voted to legalize marijuana in November 2012, and a burst of largely favorable news coverage followed, lasting for most of 2013. Gallup’s October 2013 polling may have reflected this.

Boulder’s Premier Recreational Marijuana Center

In 2014 the coverage was more critical, and second thoughts may have set in among some — as often happens following passage of ballot proposals calling for radical change. But by 2015, people may have had a chance for more reflection on the legalization question and decided they were ready to accept it. In either case, the 2016 finding suggests the upward trend in support for legalization is real. The poll also contained two pleasant surprises. It found that support for legalization among Republicans has risen to 42 percent, more than double what it was a decade ago. For most of the decade support for legalization in the GOP was mired in the mid-30s range. The fact that it is now moving up means it will be easier for Republican lawmakers to be more open to legislative legalization measures, the pressure for which is apt to grow if, as expected, a majority of the nine marijuana ballot measures that will be voted on this year pass. The second pleasant surprise is that support for

legalization among older Americans (55 and older in this case) is also growing; Gallup found it at 45 percent this year, which is getting close to the 50 percent tipping point. Here’s another way to look at the results: They reflect the changing of the generational guard over time. Individual voters are slow to change their opinions on social issues that involve banning something — like abortion or alcohol for instance. To be sure, some people change their minds, but probably most of the movement in the polls reflects older voters passing away and being replaced by younger ones who hold different opinions. In the case of marijuana, the long term trend towards legalization seems to reflect demographics more than anything else. Allowing for statistical ups and downs, the rate of change has been about one percent a year since 1969. Polling, and more importantly, actual voting reflects the trend since 2012 as well. In 2012 both Colorado and the state of Washington passed marijuana legalization with 55 percent majorities, higher than Gallup’s 50 percent national finding for 2012 but an indication of how national opinion was moving (especially in the case of Colorado, which tends to track national public opinion). Four years later, about 8 million older Americans (only about a third of whom favored legalization) have passed on, while about 16 million younger Americans (about 70 percent of whom favor legalization) have reached voting age. Taken together, the two numbers explain much of this year’s record support for legalizing pot.

(IN CASE YOU MISSED IT) An irreverent and not always accurate view of the world

NO, NO, NO, NO AND NO It’s a bird. It’s a plane. No it’s... a self-driving semi-truck barreling down I-25 from Fort Collins to Colorado Springs, delivering 50,000 cans of Budweiser, driving right next to you and me. You know what’s worse than cheap beer? Cheap beer that now costs approximately 60 cents more, while putting all of our lives at risk. This driverless technology costs approximately $30,000, and despite its name, still requires a hired and paid driver to be in the cab. Although admittedly, they Wikimedia Commons don’t have to be in the driver’s seat, as long as they buckle the seatbelt to avoid that annoying seatbelt alert signal from going off incessantly. Which means they can be doing anything else productive, like scrolling through their phone, watching movies or even stretching out on the bed in the sleeper cab and snoring away, all while on the clock. This sounds like the perfect solution to the truck driver shortage our country is currently facing. “Here we’ll pay you to sleep, while a robot drives a 40-ton truck through our state’s biggest cities.” Well it looks like Anheuser-Busch has taken the bait, invested in the driverless technology and sent it’s first shipment on its way in the middle of the night Tuesday, Oct. 24. While the company hasn’t announced it will actually raise the price of the iconic American beer to cover the increased cost of driverless delivery, we’re sure we’ll all be feeling the pain sooner or later, one way or another.

ADELE 2016 Is the election over yet? No? Fine. Here we go... As a nation, we’ve endured countless hours of news coverage, we’ve been buried in thousands of sound bites, we’ve driven by never-ending campaign signs, we’ve sat through mind-numbing political ads, we’ve slammed our head against the wall as a family member casually asks, Wikimedia Commons “So what about this election, huh?” It’s clear, more than ever, that the country needs a collective break. Something relaxing, and maybe even something that could serve as an emotional release... something like... an Adele concert. There’s something about that British songstress that can make us put down our political party shields, and we can all cry together as she croons, “Nevermind, I’ll find someone like youuu.” So we don’t blame Professional Nasty Woman Hillary Clinton for taking some time out of her campaign to enjoy a concert from the bodacious songstress. Well, we don’t blame her, but Professional Evil Creamsicle Donald Trump does. While Trump has been working away on the campaign trail, googling “how to offend every registered voter,” he took some time to talk to ABC News Today and criticized Clinton for taking time off. He threw a tantrum about Clinton’s concert going — basically repeating “wrong,” “bigly wrong,” “hugely wrong,” “she’s the puppet” like a malfunctioning Oompa Loompa robot — before praising himself for taking time off the trail to work on his hotel. Under budget and ahead of schedule, don’t ya know? Somehow he forgot to mention how famous chef Jose Andres dropped out of running one of the hotel’s restaurants, after Trump called Mexicans criminals, drug traffickers and rapists. Boulder Weekly
