he shameful truth about America’s democratic process is that it’s become so un-democratic that they don’t want you to vote.

By “they” I mean the power elites who benefit by restricting the vote as tightly as possible to people who support their candidates and policies. We can wring our hands about the voter suppression that’s suffocating the people’s will — or, we could join hands to support common sense measures for voter expansion.

It’s an abomination that politicians rig the system to exclude legitimate voters, and those who do so should be

publicly shamed and mocked for their pretension that they’re “protecting the integrity” of the ballot box. All they’re protecting is their political posteriors.

It’s time to unlock the voting booth doors: Some six million felons who’ve paid their dues should be restored to full citizenship; provide automatic voter registration for every 18-yearold; stop mass purges of voter rolls; vote by mail; provide extended and easy absentee voting; have Election Week, rather than Election Day; accept any valid ID; vote where you live; restore the Voting Rights Act; pass a constitutional amendment to

assure every eligible individual’s right to vote; and invest fully in our nation’s democratic infrastructure, including verifiable voting machines, multiple polling places within easy reach of all, an abundance of trained poll workers to eliminate lines and quickly resolve problems.

And here’s a crazy idea: Make voting fun, a festive occasion for the whole community. In Australia, for example, most polling places have barbecues.

Why not add music, art, games and other enjoyment to make voting a truly civic activity? America’s democratic pageant doesn’t have to be a grinding obstacle course, an intimidating experience... or boring. After all, it belongs to us. Let’s make it better.

mericans realize that immigration is an important issue. The nation’s security, economic strength, demographics, global competitiveness and much more are all influenced by U.S. immigration policy.

After years of legislative debate on this topic, one might think that Congress would have developed a sound policy for dealing with the issue.

But that’s not the case. Although nearly everyone agrees the current system is seriously broken, Congress has not enacted major immigration reform legislation for over 30 years.

So the question is: If immigration policy is so important, why hasn’t anything happened?

Part of the difficulty may be the toxic partisan atmosphere that pervades Washington and creates legislative gridlock. That’s certainly an issue. In the case of immigration, however, I think there is also another factor at work. That is, the way politicians, the media and many citizens think about the issue. By and large, immigration is described as a problem.

Now, there really are difficult immigration issues to be addressed: illegal entry, asylum-seekers, byzantine administrative processes and more. However, treating immigration primarily as a problem is like putting on blinders; it narrows one’s view and limits the range of options being considered.

A better approach is to think of immigration in a balanced way, both as a series of problems to be solved and opportunities to be captured. Looking at the issue more broadly would allow policy-makers to address challenges and also secure a number benefits. On the benefit side, the potential gains are significant. Consider, for example, the nation’s economic and demographic future.

Throughout U.S. history, immigrants have played a key role in creating national prosperity by helping to fuel economic growth. That is still the case. Although immigrants account for less than 14 percent of our population, they start almost 25 percent of all new companies and launch nearly a third of all firms backed by venture capital.

Remarkably, over 40 percent of today’s Fortune 500 companies were founded by immigrants or their children — companies that provide jobs for Americans. The notion that limiting immigration per se will somehow make the U.S. economy stronger is inconsistent with our national experience.

Immigrants have always been essential to U.S. prosperity. Today they are also central to America’s demographic vitality. Longer life spans and reduced family size are pushing up the median age of the American population. In 1970, the median age in the U.S. was 28 while today it is 38, an increase of over 35 percent. As the population ages, retirements thin the workforce, which has significant implications for the nation. To look at just one illustration, consider the case of Social Security.

In 1960 there were five workers to support each Social Security beneficiary, while by 2020 it is estimated that there will be about half that number, 2.6 workers for each retiree. That is below the level required for Social Security to function as a pay-as-you-go program. However, immigration can reduce the impact of an aging population because migrants tend to be younger and have higher fertility rates than the population as a whole.

Encouraging younger immigrants possessing the skills needed by the U.S. economy may be the surest, and perhaps the only, way to mitigate the effects of an aging population.

Viewing immigration in a more balanced way broadens the range of issues and is likely to produce a more effective policy. Such an expanded view of the issues also creates a larger field within which to identify common interests and improves the prospects for compromise, an essential ingredient in developing any immigration policy.

Defining the immigration issue in terms of both problems and possibilities could be an important step in breaking through the immigration policy gridlock.

letters On Dyer’s ‘Willmeng Dilemma’ As a Democratic Party precinct leader in eastern Boulder County I have the answer to Joel Dyer’s “Willmeng dilemma” (Re: Dyertimes, Oct. 11, 2018). Remember 2016 when the establishment Democratic Party turned a blind eye? The Boulder Dems basically spit in the face of the progressive movement in Boulder County! I want to get metaphorical for a moment. If not now then when? And if not us then who? So hopefully all you progressives who have gotten their ballot in the mail had not squandered your vote on another establishment Dem for County Commissioner. Cliff is not a dilemma; he is an answer to the way forward to heal the lack of representative democracy! The only person Cliff has to answer to is we the people! I feel a vote for Willmeng will send a message to the corporate Dems: Time to join the people! I encourage all voters to read Joel’s opinion last week. It’s crystal clear why you should vote for Cliff Willmeng for County Commissioner. I want to close with another metaphor. The forest was shrinking, the trees kept voting for the axes because their handles were made of wood. Choose wisely, my friends.

Rod Brueske/Democratic precinct leader, Boulder County

Yes on Prop 112 The oil industry wants us to believe that by requiring new fracking wells to be at least 2,500 feet away from our homes, schools, businesses and waterways, Proposition 112 will destroy their business and bring the entire Colorado economy down with it. Such claims are complete and utter fabrications, designed to scare you into voting against Prop 112. One need look no further than the industry’s own Journal of Petroleum Technology (JPT) for proof.

An August 8 article in JPT explains that technical developments have resulted in lateral drilling lengths up to 3.4 miles, with average lengths exceeding 10,000 feet, while drilling costs per foot have dropped 69 percent since 2012. And we’re supposed to believe that extending setbacks to 2,500 feet is going to be the end of the fracking industry? Sorry, that’s just not even remotely credible.

What is credible is that the industry is unwilling to spend a little bit more to extend their straws so that their industrial operations — which reduce property values, poison our air and water, and threaten our health in subtle, but very, very real ways — are not in our Boulder Weekly

backyards and playgrounds.

There is a long and growing body of evidence linking proximity to fracking wells to a variety of nasty health impacts. For details, Google “fracking” and “PSR.” The depressing reality is that the oil industry owns our legislature and the regulatory bodies that should have our health as their first priority. We must protect ourselves. Vote YES on 112!

Selecting a County Commissioner The United Nations’ October climate change alarm spotlights our local oil and gas issues — the extraction corporations’ exacerbation of global warming starting right here in Boulder County. Presently we need to elect a new member to the team of County Commissioners who are already working on this issue.

After attending the League of Women Voters’ non-partisan forum, hearing all three candidates, I predict that probably even to his party, the Republican candidate’s views seem narrow and short sighted.

The Democrat’s candidate is an extremely good guy who, since 1987, has doggedly fought against oil and gas interests at the state capital, yet has a deeply disproportionate success rate to show for it. He blames these failures on the Republican majority. However, the Democrats controlled the state houses for many years, and still, no significant legislation has passed without oil and gas companies’ approval under either parties. Not one gas and oil permit has been denied in the state of Colorado in 66 years. I question how effective Matt Jones can be at the local level, considering his limited successes in the past.

The Green Party candidate is a firebrand activist for human and workers’ rights. For the past six years he has presented scientific information to Boulder County residents educating them about the effects of oil and gas extraction in our county. He brings together diverse groups of people to face issues with grassroots support, the facts, and no small amount of outrage at to what our politicians have allowed to happen. At the forum his clear thinking, fresh ideas and eloquent explanations showed him as a leader I want fighting for my grandchildren’s futures. Vote Cliff Willmeng, because it’s time to do something.

Colorado needs Weiser’s expertise, vision and leadership I was sorry to see The Durango Herald’s endorsement of George Brauchler for Attorney General. The editorial failed to demonstrate a clear understanding of the role of AG and whose experience would best serve Coloradans.

The AG is the state’s top lawyer demanding executive, not “nuts and bolts,” experience to successfully oversee an office of almost 500 personnel and 270 lawyers. The AG protects our rights, especially from federal government overreach. Because of a TV ad showing Weiser losing sleep over Trump administration policies, the editorial suggested Weiser’s approach to AG was more distant than his opponent’s.

Hardly. I want the state’s AG to lose sleep over federal attacks on Coloradans’ rights to clean air and water, a woman’s fundamental right to make decisions about her own body, to plan her family, and have access to health care. I want an AG to fight for fair treatment for all Coloradans, including immigrants like Edin Ramos of Bayfield who was deported last May leaving behind two businesses, his wife and two children.

The Herald stated that Weiser’s opponent was more practical and liked his idea to address the urban/rural divide by “putting more manpower in Colorado’s rural areas.” Yet, it was Weiser, as Dean of the CU law school, who founded the Rural DA program in 2014 to help put young lawyers in communities like ours.

Weiser’s experience and acumen (he worked for Supreme Court justices Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Byron White; and served in the Dept. of Justice under presidents Clinton and Obama) matches and exceeds that of three of the past four Democrat and Republican AGs when they took office.

Vote for experience. Vote your values. Join me, Gov. Hickenlooper and former Sen. Ken Salazar in voting Phil Weiser for Colorado AG. Ellen R. Stein/Durango

Is there a candidate for me believing, “If you are gay, you are born that way?”

How would you like to be told whom to love or be loved by?

Is there a candidate for me discussing population overload, birth control and supporting Planned Parenthood big time?

Is there a candidate for me who is fighting for universal health care, which enables our society to reach its potential?

Is there a candidate for me saying let’s not argue causality, let’s just concentrate on clean air for human breathing?

Is there a candidate for me who will only use education funds for education?

Is there a candidate for me who supports profits from all college football money for free college tuition?

Two local notes: Is there a candidate for me who will put outhouses around the main Boulder Library for the needy and the tourists, so we keep Boulder Creek clean? All it takes is a cup of lime thrown in each time.

Is there a candidate for me who will stop the re-use of inefficient asphalt on roads, and consider almost-free cobblestone streets? FYI: We live in the cobbles of the Rocky Mountains.

Stand up for the American dream Joel Dyer talks about the American dream in his captivating story of Ingrid Encalada Latorre (Re: “Window, Walls and Invisible lines: Ingrid Encalada Latorre” Oct. 11, 2018). The American dream needs to be protected and renewed constantly by “we the people.”

Right now nearly half of us are just a $400 crisis away from poverty, like a bad refrigerator, a medical problem or a car problem. One in six are not sure about their next meal; one in five children are living in poverty. How about an American dream without anyone hungry, homeless or without medical care? Our voices can bring this about: Ask now what candidates will do to make this American dream a reality.

Next, vote accordingly. Then make sure they choose the Senate Farm Bill that protects the SNAP program (food stamps), to battle hunger, able to expand when tragedies like hurricanes strike and helps lift people out of poverty. With calls, letters and visits to those who represent us in Congress, we can make sure everyone has enough to live and create their dream. Otherwise, there is only more hunger and poverty for the majority of Americans.

Masa Holle (left) and Kate Lacroix (right) both recover from successful same-day kidney operations — Holle received a kidney and Lacroix donated hers — with Lacroix’s daughter keeping them company.

Boulder Weekly

Strength in numbers

12 organ donors, 12 transplant recipients and a chain of surgeries across the country by Angela K. Evans

M

asa Holle had been tired for a long time, exhausted really. Maybe it was chronic fatigue syndrome, maybe something else. She never could get a clear diagnosis, she says. But by 2014, it was getting worse and she hardly had any energy most days. So her doctor in Peonia sent her to a nephrologist, a specialist in kidney disease.

“Your kidneys are scarring” Holle remembers the nephrologist telling her. “I’m not sure how long this has been going on, but I can certainly see why you’re tired.”

He gave her five or six months to live if she didn’t start treatment right away. She could hold off starting dialysis but it would be inevitable, he said. In the meantime, she needed to start looking for a kidney.

As of Oct. 15, 2018, there are 114,590 people awaiting organ transplants in the U.S, and the vast majority of them need a kidney, according to the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS).

Someone is added to the national transplant waiting list every 10 minutes, and while one living donation is said to save eight lives, roughly 20 people die each day waiting for an organ.

After her diagnosis, Holle spent a week at a dialysis clinic in Montrose where she was trained how to run dialysis at home. She lives alone and had to set everything up on her own.

“I’m doing it in the morning, running to my

office, running back home at lunch and doing it again,” Holle says. It was painful, tedious and largely uncomfortable. Her friend put out word on social media that Holle needed a kidney, hoping to find a living donor, a healthy person willing to donate and live with only one kidney.

“If you can bring a living donor to the table you get transplanted faster,” says Angela Miskolci a registered nurse and living donor coordinator at the University of Colorado Hospital in Aurora. “If you are an O blood type and you need a kidney, in Colorado your average wait time before you ever get one deceased owner offer is 6-8 years.”

Even still, a living organ donation often has a longer lifespan than one from a deceased donor. A living donor kidney lasts about 15-20 years if all goes well, an average deceased donor kidney, about 10-12, “and that’s a good deceased donor,” Miskolci says.

In those first few months, at least four people from Peonia were tested, Holle says, but none of them were a match. Blood type, size of the organ, age and immune system compatibility are all factored into what makes a good transplant match.

But then an old friend, Kate Lacroix from Boulder, reached out. Lacroix had been looking for Holle’s address to send her a holiday card when she saw that Holle was in need of a kidney on social media.

“It surprised me,” Holle says. “Someone just popped out that I hadn’t talk to in years.”

It had been years since Holle lived in Boulder, and Lacroix’s offer was more or less out of the blue.

“I just remember being struck by that and wondering if there was any possible way I could do it, I would,” Lacroix says. Unfortunately, after the initial tests, it was clear Lacroix wasn’t a match for Holle. Still, they could enter into a paired exchange through the National Kidney Registry (NKR), where Lacroix could donate her kidney to a stranger, and Holle could get a living donor match.

The first live kidney was transplanted in Boston in 1954, but direct donation can be tricky, with myriad compatibility factors at play. The idea of kidney swaps has been around for decades, but testing and matching between different donors and recipients across country has its own fair share of problems. Ten years ago, NKR was formed as a nonprofit based in Long Island that facilitates kidney transplants between a network of 85 transplant centers and has See KIDNEY Page 14

It was founded by Garet Hil, whose daughter ney,” Holle remembers, a moment of levity in the experienced kidney failure at age 10, and the family middle of what could be a time full of doubt and fear. had a difficult time finding her a live donor through At that point, she had been on dialysis for about a the then-available exchanges. Hil set out to develop year. an algorithm that helps determine the best matches at In the end, both surgeries were successful, as were lightning speed, creating donor chains of multiple all of the transplants in their chain, and the friends donors and recipients. recovered down the hall from each other.

To set off a chain, an unmatched donor offers up “It really felt like it at the time that I was receiving their kidney, and the dominoes begin to fall — each her kidney. Your mind knows better than your emorecipient comes to the table with a donor who can tions, but it has always felt like that to me,” Holle give to another recipient who has a donor who can says. “It was really a beautiful experience, hobbling to give to another recipient who has a donor... each other’s hospital rooms.”

But, Lacroix had to decide if she would still Courtesy of Kate Lacroix donate her kidney, even if it didn’t go directly to Holle.

“She calls me sweetie,” Lacroix says of Holle.

“And she was like, ‘Sweetie, I just need you to know that at any step of the process you can say no if it becomes too much. I’m just so honored, but every step of the way you need to take care of you.’

She was very hands-off while I processed it all. But for me, I never once wavered, I never once thought I wouldn’t do it.”

It took nine to 10 months, Lacroix says, but they were eventually part of a 24-person chain, 12 donors and 12 transplant recipients.

In order for the chain to be successful, Miskolci had to coordinate with transplant centers all over the country, lining up surgeons and patients who could all do the surgery in the same time frame.

Lacroix also had to travel to Aurora regularly for tests, and spent one full day meeting with doctors and a social worker to make sure she could donate.

“Just because you want to be a donor doesn’t mean you can,” says Dana Parker, a social worker and living donor advocate at the University of Colorado Hospital in Aurora.

Donors “need to understand what the risks are,” she says. “They need to understand how to avoid those risks, what that’s going to look like, how it’s going to affect your medical insurance, your life insurance. It’s just another kink in the process, but living donors can be seen as somebody with a pre-existing condition even though they are thought to be some of the healthiest people out Lacroix spent three there.” days at the hospital in Kate Lacroix was part of a 24-person organ After a slew of blood tests and medical exams, Aurora before finishing transplant chain, Lacroix also had to undergo a psychosocial risk assess- out the rest of her recovsaving 12 people’s lives. ment that looks at how she could cope with stress, ery at home in Boulder ensure she wasn’t coerced into donating, and that she over the course of the next wasn’t going to get any financial or secondary gain month.

Parker also had to make sure six weeks. But national studies have shown that the Lacroix’s family, including her two young daughters, average living donor loses about $2,000-$3,000 in were on board. wages as they recover from surgery, an insurmountable “Support is a big thing, you have to have somebarrier for most people. body who is going to help care for you and your Currently, 19 states offer some sort of tax deducrecovery,” Parker says. “Nobody can recover by themtion or credit ranging from $5,000-$10,000 to cover selves alone.” costs associated with donation such as transportation, The swap was scheduled for Dec. 1, 2016, and lodging and lost wages. In May of this year, the both Lacroix and Holle were at the Aurora hospital.

According to location and an anonymous recipient; Holle’s new the American Transplant Foundation, who sponsored kidney was flown in from somewhere else from an the bill, there are about 2,300 people awaiting an anonymous donor.

While these organs can be 14 October 18, 2018

donated by a living person, more people die of kidney and liver failure in the state than by homicide each year.

According to the new law, living organ donors in the state of Colorado who make less than $80,000 a year will have 10 days paid time off for recovery, beginning Jan. 1, 2020. In exchange, the donor’s employer will receive a 35 percent tax credit for granting paid time off, plus an additional tax credit to cover the cost of a temporary replacement. One of the main arguments behind the bill’s passing is the economic benefits when patients with kidney disease are taken off dialysis after a successful transplant.

“Living organ donation is not only the most effective way to eliminate the organ transplant waitlist in Colorado, but is also the most economically beneficial way to address many chronic health issues, particularly kidney disease. On average, for each two transplant patients taken off of dialysis, Medicare saves over $500,000 over the course of 10 years,” Colorado Springs Sen. Bob Gardner said in a May press release.

Additionally, living donors are entitled to protected, unpaid leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), according to a U.S. Department of Labor August 2018 opinion. All of this is a move in the right direction, Parker says.

Last year, UC Health performed 238 kidney transplants, 124 of those from living donors. Still, transplants aren’t a cure for kidney disease, they’re really just another form of treatment for kidney disease, just like dialysis. “But you have a better quality of life if you get a transplant rather than dialysis and over the long run it’s less expensive,” Miskolci says.

And that seems to be true for Holle, who now finally has energy to do the things she loves.

She’s been able to attend professional conferences and trainings for the first time in years, finally having enough energy to sit through a class and listen, or study at home. She also bought herself a piano and started playing again after more than 40 years.

“It’s just being able to dream of these things and actually do them is pretty amazing,” Holle says. “I’m 65 years old and I’m reinventing myself after so many years of just feeling tired.”

But none of it would have been possible without Lacroix or any of the other donors willing to offer up their kidneys as part of the exchange.

“I was overwhelmed by her (Lacroix’s) generosity,” Holle says. “One of the things Kate has always said to me, she’s always thanking me, saying thank you so much for letting me do this for you. That makes me want to cry. It’s just an overwhelming gratitude.”

It’s something Lacroix says as well, that she can’t help thanking Holle for the way donation has changed her life.

“My oldest daughter says I seem much more at peace, much happier, and I think the friends that know me say the same thing, that I’m much more grounded. And I’m not sure that would’ve happened without the donation,” Lacroix says.

“I think that the most empowering thing is to realize that we can do these big things, we can make a difference, it just takes a little bravery,” she continues.

“There’s definitely strength in numbers.”

news briefs Nederland gets muchneeded affordable housing funding

O

n. Oct. 10, the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority approved low-income housing tax credit funding for affordable housing in Nederland. The funding will ensure that people who make 30 percent or less of the area’s median income will be able to rent one of 26 units in the new Tungsten Village complex affordably.

Low-income housing tax credits generate funding through a public-private partnership with investors, and are one of the primary tools used to construct affordable housing today, according to information from Boulder County.

Because of the funding, a family of four making $33,000 annually would be able to rent a three-bedroom unit in Tungsten Village for $867, utilities included.

“This will … help ensure that many of the community’s teachers, first responders, café workers, child care providers, and seniors can live in the community in which they work or simply want to remain,” said Frank Alexander, director of Boulder County Department of Housing and Human Services, in a press release.

Nederland is in desperate need of this funding — the County supports “half of the area’s residents with free or low-cost health coverage and one-quarter with food assistance” every year.

“Housing affordability is a significant issue in our community, particularly for teachers, essential service providers and working families,” said Nederland Mayor pro tem Julie Gustafson in a statement. “The Nederland Board of Trustees gave the Town’s approval for this project because we know it is a critical part of housing our community and keeping our town vibrant.”

CU picks firm to find next president

T

he University of Colorado Board of Regents selected the firm they’ll use to find the system’s next president.

The Board of Regents selected Wheless Partners Consulting, “after a competitive process that drew proposals from leading national firms,” according to a press release from the university.

Three senior partners, including one who is the former president of the University of Alabama, will lead the search and recruitment process.

“Wheless provides coverage across education, government and all industries in order to find a gifted CEO to lead the CU system,” said Sue Sharkey, chair of the CU Board of Regents, in a press release.

CU President Bruce Benson announced this year that he’ll be resigning from his post in July 2019.

Boulder County receives federal funding to combat opioid epidemic

T

he State of Colorado was granted more than $6 million by the U.S. Justice Department to combat the opioid epidemic, with more than $1 million of that money going into Boulder County.

The City of Longmont received almost half a million dollars to support local law enforcement and first responders in a comprehensive opioid abuse site-based program. Boulder County got $861,569 to fund staffing and treatment resources in the jail and implement programs to ease drug users’ re-entry into the community. The County also got $346,512 to facilitate collaborations between criminal justice, mental health and substance abuse programs.

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment received $1 million to “support public safety by information sharing by leveraging information from a variety of public health and safety data sources.”

Boulder Weekly, HuffPost collaborate for affordable housing forum

O

n Monday, Oct. 15, Boulder affordable housing experts spoke at the Rayback Collective about addressing the city’s increasing housing crisis in a panel co-sponsored by HuffPost and Boulder Weekly.

The forum is part of HuffPost’s Listen to America series, in which journalists from the online news organization travel around the country in an RV, partnering with local news organizations to host community forums on topics of local interest.

At the Boulder event, panelists included Boulder Housing and Human Services Director Kurt Firnhaber, City Council member Jill Grano and PLAN-Boulder member Adam Swetlik. The panel was moderated by HuffPost journalist Michael Hobbes, who has covered affordable housing across the country for the publication.

The two-hour discussion, which included a question-and-answer session, sought to pinpoint just how Boulder became so unaffordable, what common misconceptions of the housing market exist, and potential solutions for the problem.

You can watch a replay of the forum for free at huffingtonpost.com/feature/listen-to-america.

Biologist recruits rock climbers to help save Colorado’s bats

by Will Brendza

T

hese are hard times for bats in North America. Our winged mammalian cousins face a very serious fungal threat in many parts of the country, which is diminishing their populations by the millions and has the potential to throw entire ecosystems out of balance.

It’s called white-nose syndrome and while it has not yet become an epidemic in Colorado, it has the potential to grow into one, and it has conservation biologists scrambling all over the state trying to study bat populations before it’s too late.

Bats are hard to find in the wilderness, though.

Roosting high on cliff faces, deep in cracks and caves up in the mountains, they are often well-hidden from casual observation. And, of course, they’re nocturnal. Gathering data on bat populations in Colorado is not an easy prospect — it’s one that would require a small army of conservation-minded outdoors enthusiasts scouring the state’s high places for tiny, sleeping creatures.

That’s why Rob Schorr started the Climbers for Bat Conservation group out of Colorado State

We protect and care for the health of our local trees.

To help combat Boulder County’s Emerald Ash Borer (Beetle) epidemic, we’ve recently purchased a custom-made crane specially designed for the removal of dead trees on smaller urban lots where big cranes can not reach.

This crane is safe and low impact and we plant a new tree after removal. We also offer complete tree care services.

Scientists need better info and a lot more of it, fast.”

As a zoologist, Schorr studies rare and lesserknown species throughout Colorado. One day, he was browsing the popular climbing site Mountain Project when he stumbled upon an intriguing climb — intriguing not necessarily as a climber, but as a biologist. Out near Carbondale, the climb is called “chiroptophobia” or “the fear of bats,” and is a 5.10, 110-foot trad climb, one that (as the name implies) is full of bats.

BATS from Page 19

“Climbers knew for years that bats would emerge from this rock periodically,” Schorr says. “It was broadly known among climbers, but we as bat biologists had never heard of it.”

It was then that his idea took root — wouldn’t it be nice, Schorr wondered, to put together a group of climbers who could provide information about where they saw bats? A group of climbers for bat conservation, of some kind...

“So, we sat down with a host of climbers, a host of bat biologists and a host of land managers and talked about the opportunity to find out more about where the bats are roosting, and hopefully find populations that would be worthwhile to be monitored,” he says.

The hope is to gather enough data before white-nose syndrome reaches Colorado, and, with luck, how biologists like Schorr can try and mitigate its effects.

The first photo of a bat with whitenose syndrome was taken in Schoharie County New York in 2006. Since then, the disease has killed an estimated 6 million bats throughout the U.S. and Canada and it’s spreading. It’s made it as far west as Missouri and as far south as Mississippi and Georgia. Even here in Boulder, Mallory Cave on Dinosaur Mountain has been indefinitely closed, barricaded with a big, black, wrought-iron gate, in a preemptive measure to protect the bats within, as humans are thought to spread the disease.

20 October 18 , 2018

Once infected with white-nose syndrome, bats exhibit white fungal growth on their wings and their muzzles. The disease drains their energy, leaving most of them nutrient-depraved and starving.

By winter they have no fat stored up for hibernation. It arouses them early and frequently from torpor (bat naps) and can even affect their ability to fly correctly once it starts to damage their wing membranes.

“We know that disease is moving its way west,” Schorr says. “And so [Climbers for Bat Conservation] is our attempt to get more information about where populations might be that we could track in advance of that disease.”

Climbers who want to help need not be bat experts, either. If you want to join the ranks, all you need to do is keep your eyes open while you’re out there climbing. If you see a bat, or discover a population of them on a climb, simply take note, and let Schorr know. Take some pictures if possible, note the direction the climb is facing and the aspect of the climb for bonus points. But really, all Schorr needs to know is where bats roost. Any info beyond that is a bonus.

And, rest assured, climbers, your information will not be used against you. Schorr and his team are not trying to close routes or climbs just because you find bats there. “That is never our intent,” he affirms.

A RIVER RUNS THROUGH THEM

ook at all those people!”

It was mid-July, and my family and I were picnicking on the banks of the Arkansas River, laughing as we witnessed about, oh, 10 people share a single stand-up paddleboard. Around us, the city of Salida buzzed like Richard Scarry’s Busytown, only with people riding inner tubes, rowing rafts and riding mountain bikes instead of visiting the bank and boarding a bus. Beards, Birkenstocks and laid-back beer gardens were all on display; it was good old-fashioned fun in a city that didn’t seem to have changed much since the 1960s.

Later in the day, we drove 24 miles north to Buena Vista, a town also teeming with adventure — but in a much different way. Here, the brand-new Surf Hotel, next to the Surf Chateau, offered hip, luxurious accommodations right near upscale restaurants and gourmet shops serving craft coffee and homemade Italian gelato. My children, then 9 and 11, gleefully climbed an artificial rock wall as we waited for a table at the Eddyline bistro before heading back to our bunkhouse at Thunderbird Ranch. The

Adventure hubs Buena Vista and Salida tackle outdoor recreation tourism by Sarah Tuff Dunn Sarah Tuff Dunn

What happens when “old timers” meet New Urbanism in two of Colorado’s classic adventure towns?

time spent soaking at Mount Princeton Hot Springs, tubing the Arkansas River and biking the foothills of the 14,000-foot Collegiate Peaks had us pooped.

Just as my husband, Carlton, and I were letting our eyes flutter closed, watching the stars pinprick the inky black sky, ranch owner Monika Courtney stopped by with a candle — and an illumination on the chang-

ing times. Buena Vista’s new South Main development, pioneered by former professional kayaker Jed Selby and his sister, Katie, has transformed the town, to differing opinions.

The “old-timers,” Courtney told us that July night, were complaining. But the new generation, with a vision of New Urbanism, is just what the area needs.

As a newcomer to the Front Range who spent 15 years in Vermont, I was struck by the undercurrent of adventuretourism-wrought tension along the Arkansas River. So in August, I place a call to Thunderbird Ranch owner Courtney to ask about old ways and new. “There is a lot of development here in BV — Jed Selby has been instrumental in growing South Main, attracting a lot of rafters and kayakers, which is awesome; the younger generation, they love this, and some of the locals do;

they love the new vibe,” Courtney says. “But some generations in town are not very inclined to this The South Main Surf growth; they can’t handle it.”

Hotel, a controverCourtney has lived in BV for three years and sial development in Buena Vista. operates an animal-rescue mission in addition to the Thunderbird; she says that she feels divisiveness toward new people. “There’s an animosity because they want to keep the town small and unchanged, but I feel you have to go with progress and keep it smart,” she says. “Keep it small and nice, but you can still accommodate a different palette of tourism; different interests and different groups of people, because the area is so rich in the outdoors — hiking, fishing, rafting, camping, hunting, dirtbiking, mountain biking, so you have to come to a happy medium.”

That’s just what Selby aims to do with South Main, he tells me in a separate call. “I wanted to build a whitewater park, and a neighborhood that was walkable,” he says of getting the idea for developing Buena Vista in the early 2000s.

“Truthfully, South Main is larger than I had intended.”

Inspired by Boulder, Durango, Crested Butte and Telluride, Selby wanted to bring New Urbanism to BV, and began drawing trails, roads and lots, realizing the parcel he had purchased had more land than he thought. So in went more than the park: Residential units (65 of 500 planned are now built), restaurants, and the Surf Chateau have all been added to Selby’s vision. “There’s still a lot of runway to go,” he says, and adds that South Main is now about 25 percent complete.

“There’s been a lot of positive reaction,” says Selby, pointing out that South Main has in turn revitalized the older Main Street, which was more than half vacant when he began the development. “The vitality has been immense, the sales tax has more than doubled, and the median age has dropped 10 years since we started while the median wage has risen. The town is prospering and is really cool for families; you can be in the mountains without being in a expensive resort town.”

Not so fast, says 10-year Buena Vista resident Shari Perkins. “I avoid South Main,” she says, mentioning the noise and traffic from music festivals organized by Selby among other criticisms. “He’s wanting to change our town and bring things into our neighborhood that disrupt hundreds of lives. Some people have to be at jobs at 4 o’clock in the morning and they’re having to get by on two or three hours of sleep — we’re talking about corrections officers and waitresses and city clerks.”

Perkins also says that BV suffers from a housing crisis, with people living in tents and cars in the mountains because they can’t afford the rent.

Some 24 miles south, lack of affordable housing has inspired developer Duane Cozart to propose Salida Crossings, a modern complex of 34 residential units and 8,000 square feet of commercial space just outside of downtown. The project narrowly passed a referendum vote in late September, having drawn mixed reactions, much of them vocalized on Facebook. “No thanks!” writes one detractor. “Too much too live in a condom [sic] surrounded by people on every side plus homeowners’ association that are [sic] too busy about everybody else’s business. Heck no!”

Cozart says that he knew Salida Crossings would catch him some flak, and that this is the right solution for a city in which he’s had to shutter several businesses because of a lack of proper housing for employees. Originally, he planned to build a hotel, but realized that would be more of a problem — drawing more adventure tourists (called Tourons, according to Courtney) — instead of providing shelter for city residents. That means that BV and Salida may drift further apart.

“Buena Vista is doing a great project there,” says Cozart. “Are we copying their product? No. Salida already has a downtown area; it’s been a natural progression during the past 130 years.”

Nature and progress — look at all those people indeed.

buzz Caution: High Voltage

The workspace of Mitch Levin, Boulder’s recycled materials art guru story and photos

by Will Brendza

M

itch Levin’s studio is an electric, eclectic creative space, filled with sparks, artists and vibrant ideas. What else would you expect from a place called High Voltage?

And what else would you expect from Mitch Levin, the artist whose whimsical sculptures and recycled material artwork have been exhibited at or represented in more than 30 cities around the continent; who spends his days welding, designing, brushing, texturing and tinkering in his shop from dawn until dusk?

This is his life, his full-time job. And Levin seems to be loving every minute of it. “I’m always working on something,” he says. “I work on about five or six things at a time.”

Sometimes that’s massive welded sculptures, quirky wall-mounted contraptions, handmade robots, recycled material guitars, or the classic vintage carnival-style lightup signs for which Levin is so well known.

“A lot of people know me as ‘the sign guy’ because I do a lot of signs for restaurants and that kind of thing,” Levin says. But that’s just one of the many, many products of his craftsmanship. “I’m not a sign maker, I’m just an artist that also does signs.”

A shrewd man with a sharp eye for design, Levin’s work dances with various shapes and colors, balanced in his playful signature style. Some of those vintage signs that have made him famous around Boulder line the walls of his work space: a CU buffalo, a flashing “LOL,” rocket ships and targets.

There’s also pop-art made from see LEVIN Page 26

industrial metal, a Colorado flag constructed entirely from metal tools, bolts and rebar, and oversized metal popsicles that hang happily above his work station.

“Someone dropped off an old washing machine panel and it had these really unique indentations,” Levin says, indicating the stamping on one of the giant popsicles. “I almost threw the metal away, but the more I looked at it, I realized it looks like a Dreamsicle! And I’ve sold like six of those since.”

Scattered among the drill presses and band saws are gears, drill bits, ear protectors, mallets, sand paper, and every manner of hand tool imaginable. It is a creative person’s dream-shop.

Instead of the thick layer of metal shavings and debris you’d expect to find all over the ground of a place like this, there is only a clean green concrete floor. Everything is organized and spotless — Levin runs a tight ship. And at the same time, a laid back one. Classic rock usually pours out of some unseen speaker, while other artists quietly plug away at their own projects at stations around the colorful and multifarious studio.

“I was in another space with like 14 other artists when we moved here from Chicago five years ago,” Levin says. That didn’t work out, though. “They basically kicked me out because I make too much noise, and I make too much dust, and I work too much.”

Probably for the best. Levin found this current space, out on Valmont and 55th Street, shortly thereafter, and started his own artist collective. Today, he shares High Voltage with seven other local artists, who lease stations from him.

“We have a great group in here now,” he says. “Everyone has 24-hour access... the door’s open, it’s nice out, we have swamp coolers, high ceilings, good lighting, and everyone helps each other.”

There’s no doubt it’s a tradeoff: Levin provides an affordable, communal place for other craftsmen and artists like himself, and in turn they put up with his noise and seemingly inexhaustible work ethic.

Towering over Levin’s section of the collective is a massive 12-foot heart, constructed from gears and grates and welded metal, a thousand-pound monolith bound for Lyons, Colorado. Levin says it’s going to be “the Heart of Lyons.”

“They want this to be their town centerpiece,” he explains, looking proudly up at his creation. “The idea is that all these gears are supposed to represent different people that you come into contact with during your life. The fact that they no longer move is like the fact that we may never meet each other again but we still have a connection.”

Against one wall of the workspace sits a bright red, out-of-place looking British telephone-booth.

buzz But this is more than just another quirky decoration. Upon closer inspection you’ll find a door within; a portal into the crown jewel of High Voltage: the workspace Mitch Levin shares with his wife, Susie, and his daughter, Madison.

The finished products of Levin’s artistic toils line the walls, interspersed with Susie Levin’s duel-medium paintings and Madison’s Tim Burton-esque illustrations. Charismatic little robots peer down at you from shelves, a giant slinky dog smiles up from the floor, steampunk guitars made from bike chains, sprockets, dials and meters hang against the wall.

It’s like being inside of a toyshop for adults.

The weekend of Oct. 20 and 21, High Voltage will be hosting an open studio event. It is the perfect chance for art fans to come see the space, connect with artists and find some art they’ll fall in love with.

In addition to Mitch Levin’s art, Susie and Madison Levin will display their works, as will all seven of the artists who work in High Voltage.

Snacks, drinks, exciting art and friendly conversation are sure to abound.

If, however, you cannot make it, you can still go check out some of Levin’s artwork. For one, the door of High Voltage is almost always open, and you can find Levin working most of the time. Also, right in Boulder proper, inside the new building on the corner of 28th Street and Canyon Bouldevard, one of Levin’s recent masterpieces is prominently displayed, the huge face of Albert Einstein, complete with curly rebar locks and a moustache. It’s an uncanny likeness.

And right across from Einstein’s Bagels, no less.

“I had been wanting to do Albert Einstein for a while, and my landlord’s stepfather, Lou, grew up in The Bronx, and he would go over to his friend’s house a lot back when he was like 10 or 12 years old,” Levin recounts. “And he only met the guy’s uncle a few times, but his uncle was Albert Einstein. So, we got into this big conversation and Clay decided he wanted to surprise his stepfather with something for the new building. So, he commissioned the piece and I made it.”

Weighing in at 500 pounds, the Einstein piece is a relative giant, and Boulder Weekly

an incredible display of craftsmanship on Levin’s part.

There’s no telling what kind of sculptures, pop-art or furniture might be rolling out of High Voltage next.

Levin’s inspiration could come from just about anywhere — from a pro-

ductive trip to the Sustainable Materials facility (a short walk from High Voltage), from a friend who drops off an interesting piece of scrap metal, or even just something as simple as a uniquely shaped rock he stumbles upon while out playing disc

golf with his son.

“We go out into the world and we get inspired and we get influenced,” he says. It’s part of what makes his work so rewarding. And it’s what makes his art so unconventionally playful and instantly recognizable.

O

n April 27, 1994, Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan took his friend/guitar tech Billy Howerdel to see Nine Inch Nails play at The Palace in Los Angeles. Howerdel wasn’t all that familiar with the industrial metal band, but a trip out with Keenan was always an adventure.

“I think [Keenan] was meeting Gene Simmons there, of all people,” Howerdel says with a laugh. (Howerdel, for the record, may be the only rock-loving child of the ’70s who wasn’t a KISS fan: “I had the lunch box but that’s kind of where it started and stopped with me.”)

Within a few months, Howerdel was working as Trent Reznor’s guitar tech on another leg of Nine Inch Nails’ Self Destruct Tour. (That cinnaburst Gibson you see Howerdel playing on stage these days, that was Reznor’s once upon a time. If you could get close enough, you’d see the head is glued on, a near casualty of the more than 130 guitars Howerdel estimates were destroyed during that tour.)

Through the ’90s, Howerdel served as a guitar technician on tour and in the studio for more than a handful of rock’s contemporary gods: The Smashing Pumpkins, Faith No More, Guns ‘N’ Roses, David Bowie. It all helped set the stage for a more extravagant act in Howerdel’s life, but it was his friendship with Tool’s Keenan that would help Howerdel live out his wildest rock ‘n’ roll

10/27 BOO DADDY

After being cryogenically frozen for 14 years, Billy Howerdel brings A Perfect Circle’s new album, ‘Eat The Elephant,’ to a Sam Goody near you by Caitlin Rockett dreams with his own band, A Perfect Circle. With Keenan’s mesmerizing baritone decorating Howerdel’s theatrical melodies, A Perfect Circle’s debut album, 2000’s Mer de Noms, was an instant rock classic, equal parts fierce and delicate. It was followed by 2003’s Thirteenth Step, a lush concept album about addiction, then by 2004’s eMotive, a collection of radically reimagined political songs (and two underappreciated original tracks).

The band’s prestige was polished into a blinding light by a revolving who’s who of rock in supporting rolls, including Tim Alexander from Primus on drums, Marilyn Manson’s bassist Jeordie White, and Danny Lohner from Nine Inch Nails on rhythm guitar. (The current lineup includes James Iha from The Smashing Pumpkins on guitar, storied rock session drummer Jeff Friedl, and Matt McJunkins, of Queens of the Stone Age, on bass.)

But after eMotive, it seemed like the supergroup might have burned out, a victim of its own white-hot celebrity. A live set at Red Rocks and an album of greatest hits were all fans were left to subsist on over the last 14 years. There were a few tours, but no new music from APC. Tool’s last album, 10,000 Days, was released in 2006. Keenan’s filled the gap making wine at his vineyard in Arizona and music with his catch-all project Puscifer. Howerdel teamed up with some current and former members of APC to release one solo album under the name Ashes Divide in 2008. They publicly swore A Perfect Circle wasn’t dead, though at least once Keenan said the band was “on life support.”

It’s been a long, dry decade for rock. Think pieces cried that rock was dead, its reign in America cut down by Max Martin’s pop machine and the slow but steady rise of hip-hop.

a r t s & culture The rhythm of storytelling

Editor Nick Houy on ‘Mid90s,’ IFS nostalgia and the ethic of the movie

by Michael J. Casey

A

s the Master of Suspense Alfred Hitchcock said, “Drama is life with the dull bits cut out.” And who does the cutting?

Editors. Sifting through hours upon hours of footage, editors construct coherency from a multitude of takes and shape hundreds of artists and technicians’ hard work into something that has a beginning, a middle and an end. All the while, they try to emotionally connect with an audience and keep the run time down.

It’s not an easy proposition, but for editor Nick Houy, it’s the best one to have.

“I like being close to that product,” Houy says. “Being on set, you feel so distant from that; it’s almost a helpless feeling. You’re trying to do everything to make it work. Whereas, in the cutting room, you’re just making it work.”

And Houy makes it work in Mid90s, the first film from writer/director Jonah Hill. Set in the Palms neighborhood of Los Angeles, Mid90s is a coming-of-age drama centering on Stevie (Sunny Suljic), a 13 year old who flees an abusive home and finds friends among a group of skaters.

Brisk, energetic and brutally honest, Mid90s features several performances from first-time actors, each one a standout; a testament to an editor’s acuity as they are more often responsible for shaping an actor’s performance than creating dazzling cuts across time and space.

“Jonah was great about saying, ‘I don’t want it to be cheesy at all,’” Houy recounts. “There are so many skateboarding movies that are just cheesy.

They don’t really understand skating and [Hill] just wanted to make sure it felt natural.”

And, as Houy explains, knowing what the movie is not helps determine “what the ethic of the movie is. And Boulder Weekly

that helps inform your decisions while you’re cutting.”

None of this came overnight to Houy. Growing up in Boulder in a movie-friendly home, Houy began tinkering with moviemaking as a teenager.

While going to New Vista High School, Houy made Super 8 shorts and attended the University of Colorado Boulder’s Continuing Education film

courses. From there, enrolling at CU was a natural fit.

Houy still recalls the university and faculty with fondness. From Ernesto Acevedo-Muñoz, “legendary,” as Houy says, and Kathleen Man, Houy’s strongest mentor, to Phil Solomon, Suranjan Ganguly, Patti Bruck, Russ Wiltse and on. His adoration for CU runs deep, especially for the head of the International Film Series and former boss, Pablo Kjølseth.

“I love that place,” Houy says, recounting his time loading 35mm prints into canisters, trucking them across campus and “locking them in the office at midnight or 1 a.m., and just loving it. I remember being like: this is exactly where I want to be right now.

“It’s cheesy, but it makes me think of the opening of The Social Network:

ON THE BILL: Mid90s, Free sneak preview. 7:00 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 21, International Film Series Muenzinger Auditorium, University of Colorado Boulder, 1905 Colorado Ave., Boulder. internationalfilmseries.com

when he’s [Mark Zuckerberg, played by Jesse Eisenberg] running through the campus at night with that music playing,” Houy says. “When I remember it, it feels like that to me. I’m super nostalgic about it.”

Coincidentally, Hill was also a student at CU while Houy attended, though the two never crossed paths.

Houy graduated with a BFA in Film Production in 2004, David O. Rogers moved to New York and tried breaking into the business. At that point, Houy was angling for work as a writer/director, but the people he worked for saw something different.

“Almost all of them kept being, ‘It seems like you’re more into the rhythm of it — the storytelling part that comes from editing,’” Houy recalls.

And rather than fight the suggestion, Houy rolled with it. Shifting his aim to the editorial process and knocking on every post-production house in town.

Internships led to apprenticeships, which led to assistantships, which put Houy in place for his big break: The Night Of, the 2016 HBO 8-part miniseries. It netted him an Emmy win.

Next came Lady Bird from writer/ director Greta Gerwig, an opportunity Houy leaped at.

“It was one of those movies that’s once in a lifetime,” Houy says. “It’s rare to find someone who’s good at what they do. ... I felt really lucky to be able to hop on.”

Currently, Houy is back in the editing suite, working with Gerwig again on her sophomore project.

As the old saying goes, luck is where preparation meets opportunity, and Houy is prepared for whatever opportunities arise. Sometimes you just have to follow the rhythms of the story.

8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 18, Still Cellars, 1115 Colorado Ave., Longmont, stillcellars.com.

The days are getting cold, but we’re pretty sure Naked Folk will warm you up. Boulder-based cabaret burlesque troupe The Jezzebelles will perform to live music by musicians David Tyler Fox and Billy Davis. Fox’s voice channels Jeff Buckley, and his undeniable talent has led him to tour and record with members of the Posies, R.E.M, Big Star and Gregory Alan Isakov. Bill Davis is widely regarded as one of Austin’s most cherished songwriters and largest personalities, whose music conveys the deep and simple truths of what it means to be human. The Jezzebelles will sweeten the pot with acro yoga, juggling, fire dancing, ukulele playing and singing. Advance tickets are $10; $15 at the door.

Anna and Claire have long lived together on the fringes of upperclass society. Anna has just become the mistress of a wealthy man, from whom she has received an enormous emerald.

Claire, meanwhile, is infatuated with a respectable young lady and wants to enlist the jealous Anna’s help for an assignation. As the two women exchange barbs and take turns taunting Anna’s hapless Scottish parlor maid, Claire’s young inamorata suddenly appears, setting off a crisis that puts both the valuable emerald and the women’s futures at risk.

Those who can afford tickets to the theater, opera, savoring the culture of a city of prosperity, where millions skimp on meals, worry about their children denied opportunity because of poverty, tormented daily by tv flaunting glamorous lives of those who have everything that entertains the deprived, who must constantly resist feelings of hate and envy, which would consume them.

What is this, a space race for snails?

‘First Man’ gets bogged in boring biography by Ryan Syrek

O

bviously, the most exciting part of retelling humanity’s mad dash to set foot on the moon is Ryan Gosling quietly rage blinking. First Man is sizzling history told ice cold, a stuffy biopic that dreams itself an arthouse meditation when it actually just traffics in snoozy cliches. Having also penned The Post and Spotlight, screenwriter Josh Singer has now completed his unofficial “trilogy of movies about essential cultural moments told with as little vim and vigor as can be vimmed or vigored.”

Director Damien Chazelle’s followup to La La Land is too tepid to call an outright misfire, but he won’t have to worry about anyone pulling another

“Lucy and Charlie Brown playing football” moment on him at the Oscars this year.

Ryan Gosling plays Neil Armstrong, the astronaut chosen to be the first person to walk on the moon. It cannot be understated that part of the reason Armstrong was chosen for the role was his even-keeled demeanor and outwardly boring persona, two characteristics that don’t inherently scream “dedicate a movie to my inner strife!”

Starting in the early 1960s and continuing until his fateful “small step/giant leap,” First Man spends considerably more time watching Neil pensively pout in the vicinity of his wife, Janet (Claire Foy), than it does building tension about the America-versus-Russia moon con-

Laughs & Gasps: The Cinema of Brian Trenchard-Smith

A double shot of mayhem from the Anglo Australian auteur by Michael J. Casey

A

ny filmmaker’s visit to CU-Boulder’s International Film Series is cause for celebration, but when the filmmaker in question is writer, director, actor, occasional stuntman, cinema scholar and genial raconteur Brian TrenchardSmith, attendance is requisite.

Born with celluloid coursing through his veins, Trenchard-Smith made his first film at the age of 15.

Four years later, he received his first commissioned assignment, which led to a job at a French news channel stationed in London. In 1965, he moved to Australia, just a handful of years Boulder Weekly

before the Australian New Wave and Australian Exploitation, known colloquially as “Ozploitation,” burst on to the world cinema stage. The former were ethereal art house movies, occasionally vying for the Best Foreign Film award at each year’s Oscars ceremony; the latter were genre films packed with action, laced with nudity and bursting with energy. TrenchardSmith was made for the latter.

Need proof? Look no further than 1975’s The Man From Hong Kong, screening October 23, a movie Trenchard-Smith describes as, “a kind of live action Tom and Jerry.”

Starring Jimmy Yu as Hong Kong

test.

The reductive and gross “virgin/ whore” dichotomy that dominates most roles for women should really be updated to “virgin/whore/anguished-wifewho-worries-about-her-husband-doingdangerous-things.” Foy does her captivatingly understated damndedst, but you don’t get more paint-by-numbers than scenes of her demanding that Neil talk to their kids or scenes where she weeps while listening to a radio account of a test flight. Does a movie pass the Bechtel test if two women talk to each other without explicitly mentioning a man’s name but both characters are clearly only thinking about dudes? Asking for 51 percent of society...

For his part, as a grade-A emotional simmerer, Gosling can drop bombs of suburban ennui with the best of them.

As potent as sparse and intimate storytelling can be, there is a limit on how long one can watch any performer silently stare in close ups before actively rooting for a spaceship to blow up. Even those moments — when the raw danger of NASA trying to pull a lunar

McGyver is palpable — are often muddled by shaky-cam and incomprehensible lighting and framing. Chazelle clearly meant to simulate the real-life tension and confusion experienced by the astronauts but actually just made watching his movie often unpleasant.

The U.N. just released a staggering report that concluded, without a massive and unprecedented human achievement, the planet is screwed.

What a horrid time for Chazelle to frame a movie about a massive and unprecedented human achievement in the most banal and uninspiring way possible.

First Man is substantially worse than its grade here indicates because films shouldn’t be graded on what they could have been. Still, just imagine how transcendent a movie about overcoming political obstacles to celebrate our shared humanity and recapture a sense of purpose and wonder might have felt right about now.

menu THE TASTING

Spicy Turkey Sandwich Naked Lunch 3301 Arapahoe Ave., Boulder, nakedlunchcolorado.com

Photos by staff

N

Poblano Burger Two Hands Kitchen Mobile, Boulder County, twohandskitchen.com

W

e love the burgers at the mobile Two Hands Kitchen for one simple reason: they’re grilled over flames that reach the ceiling vent and impart a robust, irresistible smokiness into the meat. It helps that the organic beef patty is fresh and thick, creating a solid foundation from which to build the burger.

Then after the flaming, the patty gets topped with roasted poblano peppers, chipotle mayo, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles. That all goes onto a slightly sweet, perfectly chewy brioche bun. The poblano brings just the right amount of heat and its own element of smoke, while the cheese cools down the palate. The chipotle mayo is sweet and spicy, and binds all the burger’s elements. And not for nothing, but the fries Two Hands churns out are perfect: crispy, thick, salty and skin-on. $11.

aked Lunch has been slinging its robust salads, sandwiches and soups from its location tucked inside the Peloton for a couple years now. We’re always glad to stop in for its fresh, amply portioned meals, which, as the name might not imply, you can also eat for dinner (they also serve breakfast sandwiches). The hot sandwiches are great, though, at any time of day. Take the spicy turkey: it’s thick-sliced turkey piled high with white cheddar, crispy and thick bacon, red onion, thinly sliced green apples and chipotle mayo.

That’s all on an irresistible ciabatta bun — crusty on the outside, chewy on the inside. Naked Lunch perfectly balances the flavors and textures in this sandwich. $10.50.

Chicken Korma

Kathmandu Restaurant II 1964 28th St., Boulder, kathmandurestaurant.us

W

e were so glad when Kathmandu branched out from its original Nederland location to open up shop in Boulder a few years ago. The sauces, curries and spice blends are always dynamic and exciting, and these folks manage to elevate dishes we think we know all the moves to because we’ve had them a million times, like the korma. Their cashew-based sauce is loaded with coconut, red spice, fresh pepper and some bold herbaceous notes like anise and coriander. Poured on tender boneless chicken, it’s hard to beat. Polish that off with some fruity, spicy kheer rice pudding, and you’ll be happy. $12.99.

Festbier Boulder Beer Company 2880 Wilderness Place, Boulder, boulderbeer.com

B

oulder Beer has been making rock-solid brew in the city for decades. We all know the staples, and so it’s great to reach for a seasonal when Boulder Beer releases one. The Festbier is classic, crisp and flavorful. It’s a helles-style lager that’s low in hops (Chinook and Tettnang), with just enough Munich malt for structure.

Prices vary.

C PUMPKIN THE GREATER

Unhand the can and roast your own sweet, creamy squash

anned pumpkin is a lot like canned music.

Both require old-fashioned devices to use, and both products are highly over-processed. You need tinny loudspeakers and an elevator to properly appreciate canned music. You need a can opener — a device no longer found in every home — to use a can of pumpkin, which really is winter squash puree, not pumpkin.

The problem with the canned pumpkin that is used to make most of the pumpkin pies Americans consume is that it is overcooked, predictably bland and slightly watery. That’s one reason we love pumpkin spice, but not pumpkin. Most of us consume pumpkin only one day a year in too-sweet, over-spiced pies with mediocre crusts smothered in whipped topping.

That would change if we got real, in terms of pumpkin and other fine winter squash. see NIBBLES Page 46

NIBBLES from Page 45

“Why would you can pumpkin in the first place? Canned pumpkin has no flavor,” says Bob Baxley, a recovering chef, writer of the highly opinionated food blog Radical Gastronomy, and a farmer with acreage near Fort Lupton.

Cooking from scratch isn’t fundamental enough for Baxley, who tries to grow or produce the butter, eggs, cream, cheese, fruit, vegetables and meat his family eats.

“A pumpkin you get from a farmer now will last six or eight months.

I store them in a cool, dry, dark cabinet all winter. They usually last until the beginning of April,” he says.

Baxley cooked in Denver, at the The Inn of the Anasazi in Santa Fe, and at his Greenhouse eatery in Pagosa Springs for 12 years.

“This year I have sugar pie pumpkins, which are not to be confused with jack-o’-lanterns,” he says.

These pumpkins are smaller but heavy for their size, with dense, string-free orange meat. The richer flavor is distinct but not overbearing, and the texture is smooth and silky.

When Baxley says that he looks for “beyond scratch recipes,” he’s serious. “A lot of pumpkin pie recipes call for sweetened condensed milk. I didn’t like the canned stuff because it has an overcooked flavor and a Band-Aid-y aftertaste. I heat three cups of whole milk with one cup of organic cane sugar that didn’t have Roundup used on it. You just reduce the volume by half,” he says. He’s currently trying to make gluten-free licorice candy from scratch. Nobody does that.

Baxley recommends roasting pumpkins covered with foil with a minimal amount of water so it doesn’t get watery. The roasted pumpkin puree can go in pies, curries and ravioli. You can find other recipes using pumpkin, and essays about food and farming at Baxley’s blog, radicalgastronomy.com, including this one.

Roast Pumpkin 1 sugar pie pumpkin 1 cup water Split the pumpkin by snapping off the stem, plunging a knife into the center and rocking it toward you. Turn it, and repeat on the other side. Scoop out the seeds and goop with a spoon. Seeds can be saved to roast, if you wish. Lay the pumpkin halves, cut side down, in a baking dish, add the water, cover with foil, and bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 60 minutes, or until the meat is soft, and gives when pressed. Let cool, cut side up, until it can be handled.

Carefully scrape the flesh from the skin.

(I opened a can of pumpkin for research purposes, so I added eggs, ricotta cheese, olive oil, cinnamon, nutmeg and corn bread mix — with chopped Honeycrisp apple on top, and baked myself a dense, moist loaf.)

School lunch, revisited

I’m looking forward to Boulder’s Real School Food Challenge Oct. 25 when culinary teams compete to craft the best, nutritional meal for $1.25 a portion — the budget for the average American school lunch. Unlike in the cafeteria, this school lunch tasting comes with wine and beer. Proceeds benefit the Chef Ann Foundation.

Natural foods industry folks and chefs are paired including Justin Gold ( Justin’s Nut Butters) and Hosea Rosenberg of Blackbelly/Santo, Robbie Vitrano (Good Spread) with Kelly Whitaker (Basta) and Miche Bacher (Zhuzh Cookies) with Daniel Asher (River & Woods, Acreage). Tickets: rsfcboulder.eventbrite.com

Taste of the week

I generally loathe the plague of pumpkin-spiced seasonal products because a) there’s no pumpkin involved, and b) they taste crappy. Locally made Noosa Pumpkin Yogurt is the exception that proves the rule with a layer of nottoo-sweet, lightly spiced pumpkin puree beneath a layer of that silky, rich Aussie-style yogurt. It’s pumpkin cheesecake in a cup.

Words to chew on

“A Frenchman in the train had given him a great sandwich that so stank of garlic that he had been inclined to throw it at the fellow’s head.” — From Provence (1935) by Ford Madox Ford.

TABLE ‘IT’S JUST FRENCH PEASANT FOOD’

Boulder County’s The French Twist food truck hits the big time

by Matt Cortina

I

had barely met Michael DeBoer before he invited me to board Louise. Louise was on her big, yellow second life — she started as the home of the mobile Cheese Louise operation, and DeBoer felt like even though he’d be running his food business, The French Twist, out of her, the truck should keep her name.

But so it was about four years ago — the end of the The French Twist’s inaugural year — and we were outside Upslope’s north Boulder tap room. I had just had a plate of duck confit, some crispy pommes gaufrettes (you may know them as waffle fries) and an Earthshaking croque madame — a toasted ham and cheese sandwich smothered in a mushroom béchamel sauce and topped with a fried egg. I couldn’t believe DeBoer had managed to pull off such refined food in such a small space; I couldn’t picture where he put all the many ingredients he needed to fulfill his menu and how he had the space and time to pull off so many high-end culinary techniques.

So DeBoer invited me onto Louise to see for myself. He didn’t know I worked at the Weekly or wrote about food. Instead, he invited me onboard, I think, because he wanted to show me that the creation of his elevated French street food didn’t have magical origins.

He wanted to show that it’s hard work to hand-cut potatoes into thick criss-cross cuts; he wanted to tell me just how much it takes to make a plate of duck confit (hours

of curing and poaching in his commissary); he wanted to point out all the things on Louise that needed replacing in that first year, and how much stress it put on his young business.

What DeBoer taught me then is that we so often in Boulder County take our food establishments for granted. All we see is the plate of food; we don’t see the bills, repairs and hours upon hours of tedious work that is required to produce that plate.

And so I was happy when DeBoer and wife, Lori, reached out to me recently to tell me that The French Twist, Louise and that duck confit had finally “made it” — they’ll be featured on Food Network’s pilot episode of Food Truck Fan Fight on Oct. 18 (and likely about 100 times over the next few weeks if we know anything about Food Network programming).

The appearance before a national audience, though, isn’t what has DeBoer excited. I chatted with him while he was working to renovate the kitchen of The Broker Inn into a new food commissary out of which he and other bootstrapped culinary makers will work. No, the appearance is a trophy, a symbol

“This was our fourth season,” DeBoer says. “It’s the Michael DeBoer first transition from season to offseason that we’re not (left) and Taylor scrambling and completely flustered about what we’re Barnett, sous chef, of The French Twist. going to do in December and January.”

Over the last few years, The French Twist has built up a rabid following of people eager to get their hands on everything from the aforementioned croques madames and duck confits, but also to sample their salads, frog legs, escargots and other French bistro items. Some people, DeBoer says, will approach the truck and be put off by the snails and frogs and think French food is out of their culinary comfort zones; but I’d say he’s doing yeoman’s work to simultaneously elevate casual French cuisine and make it approachable.

“It’s peasant food,” DeBoer says. “It’s just French peasant food. If a grilled cheese sandwich and potato chips are too fancy, I can’t help you.”

DeBoer says it’s important to provide people dishes they’re going to like; “You want to sell the fun stuff — the frog and the escargots and the duck, but some of that is somewhat of an acquired taste. If they come up and get escargots and they don’t like it, they’re not coming back. Really what we do is we steer them toward things that we know they’ll like.”

Certainly there are people among us who walk up to The French Twist and completely geek out that a food truck is selling escargots, and DeBoer says he can spot those culinary explorers from a mile away. But he’s also happy when a group comes up and says something along the lines of, “We’ve never had escargots, but we’d like to try an order.” For DeBoer to be able to offer them a sizzling plate of snails prepared the traditional way with garlic, butter and parsley, and prepared well, is to advance our collective community palate.

Still, DeBoer says, the top-seller is the croques madame, with good reason.

And so when the “bigwigs from New York at the Food Network” told him to bring his best dish to the competition, they were surprised that, instead of bringing the unctuous goodness of the glorified ham and cheese, he brought a salad.

“Nobody brings a salad to a competition,” DeBoer says the execs told him. He replied: “You told me to bring my best dish.”

It’s hard to argue with DeBoer’s choice in preparing the Lyonnaise salad — his carefully prepared duck confit is caramelized with potaoes and sweet onions in the truck, heaped on a bed of mixed greens, and topped with bacon, swiss cheese, a house-made sherry vinaigrette and chopped parsley he flombés with brandy.

DeBoer was bound to secrecy at press time to say if he won the competition with his salad or not, but he says the reaction from the judges (about 300 lucky folks who got to sample his food and the food of three other trucks) was overwhelmingly positive.

“The people that voted for us were more food-nuanced,” DeBoer says. “They’re talking about the flavor profile of the dish. ‘The fattiness of the duck is perfectly cut with acid and sweetness of the sherry vinaigrette.’”

As with all food pioneers, we benefit from the risks they take. Now not only can we sample the food DeBoer makes (he and Louise will be at Odd13 Brewing in Lafayette almost every weekend this winter), but we can glean some of his culinary genius through cooking classes he’ll be teaching over the cold months.

To know something, is to love something, and I certainly fell in love with The French Twist when DeBoer gave me a tour of the operation so many years ago, and through his classes and food truck, you’re liable to fall in love with DeBoer’s brand of casual French food, if you haven’t already.

drink Know your brew: amber ale

Going back to the classics

by Michael J. Casey

A

mber ale in 2018 might seem a little passé in a world dominated by hazies, adjunct-laden stouts and barrel-aged beasts. But not that long ago, amber was the ale that practically built the craft beer house.

Immensely sessionable and immediately recognizable, amber ales were easy to drink — making it an enticing prospect to macro drinkers looking for something different — while also being flavorful enough for seasoned drinkers in search of something lighter. And as an accompaniment to a meal, amber has incredible versatility, harmonizing beautifully with everything from deli sandwiches to spicy Indian dishes and lettuce-based salads. Carlos Solis, the former executive chef at the Sheraton Four Points/LAX, recommends amber alongside salad topped with blue cheese, caramelized walnuts, bacon and coriander vinaigrette.

Michael J. Casey Technically speaking, amber ale is a mediumbodied beer, traditionally malty with an alcohol by volume range of 4.5 to 6.2 percent and a bitterness range of 20 to 40 International Bittering Units. The name comes from the beer’s color, which has caused some confusion depending on which beer encyclopedia you read. Many beers, from India pale ales to extra special bitters to barley wines, have a decidedly amber hue to them, but amber they are not. What makes an amber an amber is the malt: soft and sweet with notes of caramel, raisin, maybe even biscuit.

Atop the amber throne is the old favorite: Fat Tire from New Belgium Brewing. First brewed in 1991 by Jeff Lebesch, which he modeled after a Belgian beer aimed at English drinkers, Fat Tire might be the most recognizable Colorado craft beer out there. Smooth and gently sweet with flavors of browned caramel and toasted biscuit, Fat Tire benefits from a little pop of earthy and floral hops — Willamette, Goldings, Nugget — to give the beer balance. It’s a remarkable beer, one you’ve probably had a hundred, maybe even a thousand, times but it’s just as good now as it was then. Heck, even Craft Beer & Brewing readers voted Fat Tire the 26th best beer of 2018.

Closer to home and just as familiar is Mountain Sun Pub & Brewery’s Colorado Kind. First brewed in 1993, Colorado Kind has proven just as stable as Fat Tire, though the two have distinctly different flavor profiles. Leaning more on assertive hops — Cascade, specifically — Colorado Kind retains the sweet malt backbone while using the resin and pine from the hops to give the beer a wildly different aroma and flavor.

Those hops are evident in the nose and mouth, but keep a close eye on the glass as you drink: all that sticky lacing clings to the glass in defined rings with each sip. Like reading the cross-section of a tree, you can tell a lot about a drinker by how many rings they leave behind.

2018 marks Mountain Sun’s silver anniversary. In honor of those 25 years, Mountain Sun is discounting pints of Colorado Kind to $2.50 during happy hour across all five of their pubs. It’s a fine time to rediscover amber.

used to be ten suns, all born from the mother goddess Xi He. Every 24 hours, she bathed her brood in the lake and placed them in a giant mulberry tree. From there, one sun glided out into the sky to begin the day while the other nine remained behind. It was a good arrangement.

The week had ten days back then, and each sun got its turn to shine. But the siblings eventually grew restless with the staid rhythm. On one fateful morning, with a playful flourish, they all soared into the heavens at once.

It was fun for them, but the earth grew so hot that nothing would grow. To the rescue came the archer Hou Yi. With his flawless aim, he used his arrows to shoot down nine of the suns, leaving one to provide just the right amount of light and warmth. The old tales don’t tell us, but I speculate that Hou Yi was a Leo.

SAVAGE

by Dan Savage

Dear Dan: I have a secret: For the past three months, I’ve been attending a local Jacks club (a men-only masturbation event). As someone recovering from sexual abuse, I find the party to be safe, therapeutic and just sexy fun. I feel like I need this!

Unfortunately, I spotted one of my employees at last week’s event. Although I’m openly gay at my workplace, being naked, erect and sexual in the same room as my employee felt wrong. I freaked out, packed up and departed without him seeing me (I hope).

I’m his manager at work, and I feel that being sexual around him could damage our professional relationship. It could even have dangerous HR consequences. I realize he has every right to attend Jacks, as much right as me, but I wish he weren’t there. I want to continue attending Jacks, but what if he’s there again? Frankly, I’m terrified to discuss the topic with him. Help!

—Just A Cock Kraving Safety Dear JACKS: “I hate to say it, but now that JACKS knows his employee attends these events, he really has to stop going,” said Alison Green, the management consultant behind the popular Ask a Manager advice column (askamanager.org) and the author of Ask a Manager: How to Navigate Clueless Colleagues, Lunch-Stealing Bosses, and the Rest of Your Life at Work.

And why do you have to stop going to your beloved JO club?

“In an employment relationship where he’s in a position of power,” said Green, “JACKS has a responsibility to avoid any remotely sexual situation with an employee.”

Green also strongly advises against pulling your employee aside and working out some sort of shared custody agreement — you get Jacks to yourself every other week — because initiating a conversation with a subordinate about when and where he likes to jack off would be a bad idea. She also doesn’t think you can just keep going in the hopes that your employee won’t be back.

“If he continues to attend and it got back to anyone at their workplace, it would be really damaging to his reputation — not the fact that he was at the event to begin with, but the fact that he continued to attend knowing an employee was also participating,” said Green. “It would call his professional judgment into question, and it’s highly likely that HR would freak out about the potential legal liability that arises when you have a manager and a subordinate in a sexual context together.”

It seems crazy unfair to me that you should have to stop going to parties you Boulder Weekly

Love

not only enjoy, JACKS, but that have aided in your recovery. And Green agrees — it isn’t fair — but with great power (management) comes great responsibility (avoiding places where your employees are known to jack off ).

“It’s never going to feel fair to have to drop out of a private, out-of-work activity just because of your job,” said Green. “I’m hoping it’s possible for JACKS to find a different club in a neighboring town. Or he could start his own club and offer a safe haven for other managers hiding out from potential run-ins with employees — Jacks for Middle Managers or something!”

While I had Green’s attention, I asked her about other sorts of gay social events that might toss a manager and an employee into a sexual context — think of the thousands of men who attended the Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco last month. Gay men (and others) walk around in various states of undress or dress up, and a lot of flirting, groping and more goes down. Should gay men in management have to skip events like Folsom lest they run into men they supervise?

“Public events are different from private clubs,” said Green. “A private club is more intimate, and a public event is, well, public. And it’s not reasonable or practical to expect managers to entirely curtail their social lives or never attend a public event. But a private club that’s organized specifically and primarily for sexual activity is in a different category.”

However, gay managers who run into employees at events like Folsom or circuit parties shouldn’t ogle, hit on or photograph their employees.

“If someone who reports to you is in a sexual situation,” said Green, “you should keep moving and give them as much space as you reasonably can.”

I’m going to give myself the last word here: You’ve been attending that JO club for months and saw your employee there only once, JACKS, so I think you can risk going back at least one more time. I would hate to see you deprived of release (and see your recovery set back!) if your employee was there only that one time.

weed between the lines

by Sidni West

Canada take one: Weed is legal there so I’m moving

I

t’s a time-honored tradition that whenever some political drama is going down, thousands of Americans will literally threaten to move to Canada, a country best known for being the birthplace of Ryan Gosling. I used to think the people dishing out these ultimatums were just being dramatic with a lazy sense of humor, but now that our neighbors to the north have legalized weed, I’m starting to see their vision.

As of Wednesday, Oct. 17, Canada has become only the second country in the world (after Uruguay) and the first G7 nation to legalize a nationwide cannabis market, after Bill C-45, approved by Parliament in June, went into effect. Canada’s Cannabis Act allows every adult Canadian to possess, carry and share with other adults up to 30 grams of dried cannabis, enough to roll roughly 60 regular-size joints. They will also be permitted to have four homegrown plants of any size per household.

Canadians who have been convicted with possession of 30 grams or less of marijuana will be pardoned, but the production, distribution or sale of cannabis products will still be an offense for minors. Cannabis will not be sold in the same location as alcohol or tobacco. Additional regulations have been left to provinces to set for themselves, which has created some confusion over what exactly is legal, and for whom.

Minimum age limits for purchasing and consuming vary, but most provinces mirror their rules for alcohol. While the federal law legalizes purchase for anyone over the age of 18, some provinces have no chill and are trying to make it harder to access. Quebec has already raised the minimum age to 21 and banned

Boulder Weekly

1 home-growing, a move some lawyers argue could eventually result in a constitutional challenge. For now, consumption in public spaces will also be technically legal in Quebec, with exceptions, like wherever tobacco smoking is prohibited. However, just as individual provinces have been given certain regulatory powers, so have individual cities, some of which have chosen to ban public consumption entirely.

There is one constant across the country: Online sales are available in all provinces and territories, through private retailers or government-run websites.

Also, edibles aren’t a thing yet. While the federal law allows people to make their own pot-infused food at home, the rules around packaged edibles have not been addressed and aren’t expected to be implemented for at least another year. For now, only pre-rolled joints, flower and cannabis oil will be sold from licensed stores.

However, don’t book your plane ticket just yet.

There are currently more than 120 licensed cannabis producers in the country, most of which are based in Ontario and B.C. Several companies rapidly expanded ahead of legalization, but labor shortages and supply

chain issues may result in a limited supply of recreational cannabis during the initial onset of legalization. And remember not to bring home any souvenirs — you can’t travel across international borders with it, even if it you are flying to Colorado or any of the other eight U.S. states where it has been legalized.

There are more incentives to migrate than just the economic opportunities associated with a national cannabis market. I haven’t spent a lot of time in the Great White North, but I did grow up watching the wildly popular Canadian teen drama series Degrassi, so I imagine it to be a friendly country where everyone has access to healthcare and is related to Drake. I’ve visited enough to know that poutine is their go-to drunk food.

But the most important factor to consider when leaving everything behind and uprooting your entire life to another country? Canada is home to the only Prime Minister on the planet that you would want to call daddy. Justin “when women succeed we all succeed” Trudeau leads their country with baby blue eyes and progressive values. When Trudeau ran for prime minister three years ago, legalizing recreational marijuana was one of his campaign promises. Now that I’m living in a dumpster fire orchestrated by a creepy orange man who watches way too much television, I’m definitely thirsty for a leader who follows through on his promises. My preference is Vancouver, but I also took French for like two years in high school, so I could really fit in in Montreal, too. So comment below if you’re a maple syrup mogul who loves stoner chicks and wants to fly me up there and float my existence until I figure out how to get a work visa.

cannabis corner

by Paul Danish

Canada take two: Painting North America green

G

eographically speaking, we’re now more than half way there.

On Oct. 17, recreational marijuana became legal throughout Canada.

Throughout all 3,855,100 square

miles of it.

And when that is combined with the 1,267,093 square miles of the nine states and the District of Columbia that have legalized recreational pot, more than half the map of North America, from the Arctic Ocean to the Panama-Colombia border, is now painted green.

(North America’s area is 9,540,000 square miles; the liberated zones total 5,122,113 square miles.)

Unfortunately less than 20 percent of North America’s 580 million people live in liberated zones. Still, when Canada’s 37 million population is added to the combined populations of Alaska, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, Oregon, Vermont, Washington state and the District of Columbia, more than 100 million North Americans live in places where recreational pot is legal.

The Canadian Parliament voted to legalize marijuana last summer and set Oct. 17 as the day the law would take effect. Oct. 17 was a lot like Jan. 1, 2014 in Colorado; only a handful of dispensaries were open across the country.

But the Canadian law contains a wrinkle that isn’t available in the U.S.: Every province is required to set

Boulder Weekly

up an online purchasing system.

Online purchasing and mail-order delivery isn’t new in Canada. The country’s medical marijuana industry has been using it since 2013.

According to the Associated Press, Canada Post, the country’s post office, won’t leave the package unless someone is home to receive it and requires proof of age upon delivery.

Speaking of age, Canada’s federal minimum age for marijuana consumption is 18. However the law allows the provinces to pick higher ages, and most are opting for 19, which is also the drinking age in most places.

All dispensaries in Canada will get their marijuana from growers licensed by the Canadian federal government.

Since marijuana in the U.S. is still banned in federal law, the feds aren’t involved in licensing commercial grows. Given the feds’ 81-year history of pharmaceutical fascism, this may be a good thing.

Don’t expect the sort of price wars in Canada that recently broke out in Boulder. That’s because the provincial governments can set a base price. Most have set it at $10 a gram; the Yukon is considering an $8 a gram price.

Then there’s the matter of taxes. The federal government wants to tax legal pot at either $1 per gram or one-tenth of the product’s price, whichever is more.

Consumers will also have to pay federal and provincial sales taxes. This still works out to less than the taxes in most U.S. states.

The Canadian law gave the country’s provinces

2

considerable autonomy in terms of the details of how legalization would work, so the specifics vary from province to province.

In some provinces sales will take place at stateoperated liquor stores, in others at privately operated dispensaries, in still others at both.

No dispensaries will be selling edibles, which are currently banned at the federal level in Canada. The government said it needs about another year to develop regulations for edibles.

Canadian pot will come in bags with huge warning labels. The health ministry has set restrictions on font sizes, styles and colors, supposedly to avoid appealing to minors.

“It looks like each bag is housing radioactive waste,” said Chris Clay, who owns a medical marijuana dispensary on Vancouver Island.

Home growing will also vary from province to province. Most will allow up to four plants. Quebec and Manitoba are banning it.

And, of course, there are limits on how much pot an individual can legally possess. The national standard is 30 grams for purchase and public possession of any kind of pot product. Most provinces have no set limits on how much can be kept in a private home.

Most provinces have banned public smoking or vaping in places where smoking and vaping of tobacco is banned. Saskatchewan, Manitoba, New Brunswick and Yukon provinces have gone further and banned public use period.

Canada has clearly learned some things about legalization from the U.S. experience up to now, but in some areas is repeating U.S. over-regulatory measures that were necessary to get legalization measures passed by skittish voters and lawmakers.

Most of which will fade away as people see that the repeal of pot prohibition doesn’t lead to the collapse of civilization.
