tumpf ” is a German adjective that means someone is obtuse, slow on the uptake, imperceptive... stupid. Ironically, it also happens to be the surname of Wells Fargo’s CEO, who is now mired in the most shameful banking scandal yet. For seven years or so, John Stumpf has presided over a venal

bank policy, pressuring Wells Fargo’s retailing employees into systematically stealing from particularly vulnerable, low-income customers of the bank. During this time, he padded his own fortune with more than $100 million in personal pay. When this mass ripoff was recently exposed, Stumpf — the Big Boss getting the big bucks to be in charge — pleaded ignorance. In an act of what Sen. Elizabeth Warren called “gutless leadership,” he publicly blamed the corrupt corporate culture on thousands of the bank’s low-level employees. But the chief was not the only stumpf at Wells Fargo. Where were its board members, who are empowered and duty-bound to set, monitor and assure ethnical corporate behavior from the top down? For seven years, this 15-member board of governance sat idle, apparently incurious about their corporation’s flagrant, widespread thievery, even after a 2013 report by the Los

Angeles Times exposed it. Far from investigating and clamping down, the board kept shoving multimillion-dollar bonuses at Stumpf and other top executives. Bear in mind that this is a powerhouse board, made up of top executives from other corporations, former government financial officials, and big time academics. And they are extremely well-paid to be diligent, getting up to $400,000 a year to keep Wells Fargo honest. What’s at work here is the ethical rot that now consumes America’s entire corporate system — a stumpf system that steals from the many to further enrich the few, buying off the integrity and vigilance of those who run it.

No on 71

Corporate interests led by oil and gas promote Initiative 71, asserting “special interests” pollute Colorado’s Constitution. Banking several million dollars, corporate special interests that control our statehouse target the last vestige of Democracy — the citizen ballot initiative — having spent almost $5 a signature alone (almost $1 million). “71” proponents cite Nebraska’s “higher signature requirements,” belying the fact that Nebraskans have four times longer (almost two years) for signature gathering, making Colorado’s ratio of signatures to time much more stringent. Requiring geographic signature distribution — 2 percent of registered voters in each of 35 senate districts — is like requiring statewide candidates to obtain votes/signatures of 2 percent of registered voters in each senate district. Geographic signature distribution requirements were overturned in 2014 by a Nebraska District Court as a violation of the Constitutional Equal Protection and Due Process clauses, denying equality among citizens. Under pretense of serving people, “71” serves only the wealthy. Michele Swenson/Boulder

Democrats for Danish

I’m a lifelong Democrat and I’ll be voting for Paul Danish for Boulder County Commissioner. The current commissioners clearly have no intention of meeting their primary responsibility to maintain county roads, instead seeing a new tax as the only way forward. (The courts ruled against the commissioners’ earlier attempt to place a special tax on subdivision residents and ordered refunds!) Danish will prioritize the road repairs and accomplish them without a new tax. The current commissioners have just illustrated the ultimate groupthink in issuing their foregone conclusion about locating affordable housing in Twin Lakes, showing a total disregard for other options put forward by the community and glossing over the fact that some of the land in question is a legally “dedicated” parcel that can only have certain specific uses to benefit the existing community (a fact that members of the community, not the commissioners, uncovered!). Danish sees the numerous flaws in the commissioners’ Twin Lakes agenda and proposes other ways to increase affordable housing. There are more issues... but these two convince me that the current commissioners have become skewed toward a narrow predetermined perspective. We desperately need some balance so that County governance better reflects the residents of Boulder County. Paul Danish has a long history of making great things happen in Boulder County, including his work in promoting open space and a plan for responsisee LETTERS Page 7

ble growth that bore his name. He’s an extraordinary problem solver and communicator, and he’s told us exactly what he thinks and how he’ll do the job (danishforcommissioner.com). With Danish, we will get clear thinking, fairness, and transparency in government, not the foregone conclusions of the current commissioners.

Voting third party and not voting

A “meaningful” third party vote, or a refusal to engage in the system, may seem attractive when we largely disagree with the two major candidates, but please consider what’s at stake. America has its problems, but also many good things; a relatively clean environment, a recovering economy, some social security, access to abortion, not terrible international relations, not to mention a potentially progressive leaning Supreme Court which has huge

implications in all areas for decades to come. These things are not a right but a privilege, gained through the election of competent individuals. Hillary may represent the status quo, but Trump represents a wanton destruction of so many of this country’s goods. If we stand idly by, if we allow destructive forces to take hold when we could have helped prevent them, we are complicit. Who do we want running our country, centrist Democrats or right-wing Republicans? The last 16 years have provided two strong examples of these types of governments, and one ran our country into the ground while the other has slowly worked to rebuild it. Is Hillary perfect? No! But the choice between her and Trump is day and night. Either Trump or Hillary will be president in November, and the American voters will decide this. A vote for Hillary is a vote to keep our country intact, while voting third party or refusing to vote is tantamount to standing by while the rest of the country elects President Trump.

ated white married man watches his wife have sex with a black man. Spencer introduced another speaker named Peter Brimelow, the founder of the website VDARE.com, which the Southern Poverty Law Center describes as an “immigrant-bashing hate site that regularly publishes works by white supremacists, anti-Semites, and others on the radical right.” The next speaker was Jared Taylor, a self-described “race realist” and editor of the white supremacist site American Renaissance, who said the white race is superior to all others except East Asians. He said there is a reason that Haiti and Africa are both poor — they are inhabited by black people. “Does anyone in this room really think that differences between pygmies, Danes and Australian aborigines are just social constructs?” Taylor asked. “Really? This idea is so stupid that only very intelligent people could believe it.” There was disagreement about whether Jews would be allowed into the Boulder Weekly

white utopian homeland. Spencer argued that they aren’t “European” and should live in their own ethno-state. Taylor disagreed, saying that Jews were OK if they identified “with the West and with Europe.” The alt-rightists at the conference were attracted to Trump because of his immigration proposals and the Muslim ban. But Spencer emphasized that “it’s about style over substance ... the fact that he’s willing to confront his enemies, especially on the left ... you look at that and think, ‘This is what a leader looks like, this is what we want.’” Spencer said, “We live in a fragmented, decaying society. We live in a society of moral degeneracy. We’re going to fight our way out of it, and sometimes that means using the tools at hand [like Trump]. It’s going to mean unleashing a little chaos.” The alt-right is invigorated and growing. If Trump is elected, they will have an ally in the White House.

n Sept. 8, 2016, Dr. Vicky Hamilton watched as NASA’s OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification Security, Regolith Explorer) lifted clear of Cape Canaveral’s Launch Complex 41 atop an Atlas V rocket, a roaring column of flame into the cloudless blue Florida sky. As deputy instrument scientist for the OSIRIS-REx Thermal Emission Spectrometer (OTES) and lead of the science team’s Spectral Analysis Working Group, she has spent five years preparing for this day. It is the first of many critical moments for the small spacecraft, built outside of Denver at the Lockheed Martin Space Sciences Company, as it becomes the first U.S. mission to orbit, sample and return a piece of the asteroid Bennu to Earth. If all goes as intended, it will parachute into the Utah desert in 2023, and it will be the largest piece of another world returned to Earth since the end of the Apollo moon program. Hamilton has a long history in Colorado, growing up in Aurora and graduating from Smoky Hill High School before leaving to complete her college and graduate degrees. She then became a tenured professor at the Hawai’i Institute of Geophysics and

OSIRIS-REx is expected to teach us more about our solar system and others beyond.

Planetology at the University of Hawai’i at Manoa. Then she moved back to Colorado in 2008 and became a principal scientist at the Southwest Research Institute, located in downtown Boulder. The near-Earth asteroid that was selected for investigation by OSIRISREx is 101955 Bennu. Hamilton explains that by studying and understanding this asteroid, scientists will have a better view of the early solar system. “Asteroids are remnants of the period when our sun and solar system were forming,” she says. “They are essentially the only records of that earliest time in solar system history.” This is because asteroids are leftovers of the original building blocks of our solar system. The most primitive asteroids, such as Bennu, are relatively carbon-rich and are believed to have not been significantly changed since they formed over 4.5 billon years ago. “There is still much that we don’t understand about what happened in Boulder Weekly

that early period of solar system history,” Hamilton says. “Yet, our solar system is our best template for understanding solar systems elsewhere in our galaxy and beyond. Now that we know there are thousands of planets orbiting other stars, it becomes even more interesting to understand the history of our own solar system.” In addition, Hamilton explains Bennu may also hold clues to understanding how life may have taken hold. “This particular asteroid is of a type that we believe is rich in organic material and water-bearing minerals,” she says. “This is important because organics and water are clearly crucial components of life as we know it, and we want to understand our origins.” Hamilton gives the importance of the mission in this respect: “OSIRISREx is aimed at going and getting a piece of a truly pristine material. Unlike meteorites that land on Earth, Bennu hasn’t interacted with Earth’s atmosphere, surface or life, so it is free of contamination.” OSIRIS-REx has a long journey ahead. The spacecraft will orbit the sun for a year before using a gravitational assist by Earth to propel it to Bennu. Once in orbit around Bennu (estimated for August 2018), the entire first year will be devoted to understanding the asteroid itself through detailed investigation and characterization of the mineralogy, geology and topology. After reviewing the data, the team will select a prime sampling location. After the team is confident in the necessary spacecraft maneuvers, Hamilton indicates that the spacecraft will, as team members have described, “kiss the surface.” She explains that the Boulder Weekly

spacecraft will never actually land but will only briefly touch the surface of Bennu with a sampling arm to retrieve pieces of the asteroid. “Kissing” the surface of Bennu, the sample arm will make contact for only roughly five seconds. In March of 2021, OSIRIS-REx will begin its return journey to Earth, arriving two and a half years later in September 2023. As the spacecraft gets close to Earth the capsule containing the fragments of Bennu will be jettisoned. The capsule will land and be collected at the Utah Test and Training Range. Once safely back on Earth, Hamilton and the OSIRIS-REx science team will analyze the first materials, which date back to the formation of our solar system, in laboratories throughout the United States, including here in Boulder. The majority of the material collected at Bennu will be preserved at the Johnson Space Flight Center in Houston, alongside the rocks brought back by the Apollo astronauts, for the use of future generations of scientists. Boulder is home to several OSIRIS-REx team members. Alongside Dr. Hamilton are Dr. William Bottke and Dr. Kevin Walsh, both also at Southwest Research Institute, and Dr. Daniel Scheeres at the University of Colorado.

news THE CURATION OF DISCOVERY: PART 2

by Rico Moore

This week’s serialized installment of The curation of discovery begins with a continuation of the conversation between myself and Ava Hamilton, an Arapaho and relative of Peace Chiefs, Niwot and Little Raven. This particular conversation took place at the Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse. It dealt with not only the discovery and curation of the Mahaffy Cache now on display at the CU Museum of Natural History, but also the history of Native American people and my desire to expand the base of indigeneity to include Indigenous Mexicana/os in that history. To read last week’s The curation of discovery: part 1, go to tinyurl.com/zjynyvu.

have a friend in Wyoming who says that at some of the Wyoming archaeological sites, they found Macaw feathers,” I tell Ava Hamilton. “I’ve heard about the chocolate bowls they found at Chaco Canyon and it seems to me there’s more knowledge about the long-standing and ancient relationship between Indigenous people of this area and Mesoamericans.” “We would like to know,” she replies. I agree. “My ancestry and who I am — and if I have children — what is it going to look like for them — are they going to be discriminated against?” I ask. “This country’s not against mass deportations and we all know what goes along with that. And so, this is about the connection to that journey — those people from Latin America, coming northward. This is as old as a lot of things and the way that those same people are often treated — aren’t even noted at all — is difficult for me to see considering the context. The story these facts make is similar and linked to the story of your people, I believe. And so, I’m trying to find a way to bring them together.” “Well,” Ava says, “That battle has never ceased. We have people now who speak English pretty well and if I don’t understand a word I can look it up because I can read and write, but our people didn’t, so through translators, we lost a lot of things because our people didn’t speak that language.” She continues, “In the ’60s, a lot of young Indians went to law school and became attorneys. Some founded the Native American Rights Fund [in Boulder], where some of those early young attorneys still are. John Echohawk is the main one. They started to advocate for Indian rights according to the agreements that the government made with our peoples. There are 566 tribes in this country who have a relationship with the United States Government. But Boulder Weekly

we’re still losing because of the things that happened throughout the years. We’re still losing our languages and that’s really sad to me.” Ava pauses as her thoughts resonate. “I grew up hearing it every day but don’t speak it. We were encouraged to speak English because all of our older people have been punished for speaking our language. The schools wouldn’t let us speak it, though we didn’t know that. We weren’t punished. We were just encouraged to speak English. And so, I’ve taken some classes in the Arapaho language and some words come to me. I have an advantage in that I have a good accent and having a good accent is really important in how a word flows and how you feel about how you use it. I know phrases like, Courtesy of Native American Rights Fund ‘It’s windy, it’s cold’ and all those kinds of things. I know the names of animals. I found this little notebook of Arapaho phrases and I look through it every now and again. I know those phrases but I don’t speak Arapaho to other Arapaho people. We all speak English to each other, and I think that’s because the old population — it’s like a pyramid — the older you are the fewer and fewer you are Ava Hamilton, an Arapaho and relative of and it just keeps getting Peace Chiefs Niwot and wider down at the base Little Raven, is concerned with the way with young people who Native American history are not interested in our is curated. history, who we are, or in speaking our language. “As the tribes moved across the land,” she says, “my people, the Arapahos and Cheyennes, used to be in Northern Minnesota and they were gardeners. They weren’t plains people, but as western expansion moved, the tribes moved as well, out from Northern Minnesota and probably Canada. The farthest back I can go is the 1700s with other people’s observations from Arapaho peoples. But not from our people [directly] because they weren’t writing, researching or recording.” “What is done if one were to find something like the stone tool [Mahaffy] Cache?” I ask. “What is the traditional way of dealing with artifacts like that as

you understand it?” “Well, you know Kirsten Wilson with Motus Theatre, who put on Rocks, Arrows and Karma, it’s about Chief Left Hand,” says Ava. “The story she uses in that play, about the forward motion of an arrow, is based on a story I told her that I heard from one of my relatives. They were in Wyoming and were going where there was nothing — no vegetation — way out in nowhere and they had a flat tire. They didn’t have a spare, so they were waiting for somebody to come by to help them. My relative went out walking and found an arrowhead — a lance head — which was pretty long. He picked it up and kept it. After they got home, he showed it to his dad who said, ‘Oh no, you have to take it back.’ So he took it back to where they found it. His dad said, ‘Put it back in the same way you found it, facing the same direction because it’s still in motion. It’s still on its way, even though it’s laying there. It’s still on its way to where it’s going.’ “So, when you find things like that,” she says, “like a cache, the common practice — which by now we’re all used to — is that scientists interpret what they see and what they’ve collected. They feel they have a right to touch it and to interpret it as to what they see as going on. I don’t think they have that right. I think it was buried there for a purpose and they should leave it there. Maybe there’s some way to study it. But, to lay claim for the people who left their items there — to lay claim to their lives — that they have a right to take something like that cache — is real disturbing to me. But that’s common practice everywhere. Academia thinks they have a right to interpret, collect, touch and disturb any element of our worlds. “One of the most disturbing things I think about is, who was it, ISIL — destroying all those cultural elements?” she says. “Well, that’s still happening here to us. It’s very much happening all over to us. To read the rest of The curation of discovery: part 2, please go to our website at boulderweekly.com October 6, 2016 11

news Heath care: a right or a privilege? ‘BW’ takes a look at Colorado Amendment 69 by Angela K. Evans

s Colorado voters weigh in on Amendment 69 this fall, they are the first in the nation to consider a single-payer health care system where a statewide system, funded by taxes, replaces individual insurance premiums paid to private companies. The concept of single-payer health care is not new. The United Kingdom began implementing such health care policies post World War II. Countries across Europe, as well as Canada and Australia, instituted some form of the concept in the 1980s. The United States, on the other hand, relies on a privatized system dominated by for-profit insurance corporations. As a result, the U.S. spends more than any other country on its health care — 17 percent of annual gross domestic product in 2013 — while approximately 28.4 million Americans remain uninsured, including 350,000 Coloradans. The 2012 Affordable Care Act sought to remedy this problem of inequity while continuing to allow for private corporate profits within the system, but it has proven inadequate to fully address the health care needs of average Americans. However, the law does provide a waiver system for states to innovate alternative methods of health care coverage and Amendment 69 proposes a statewide health care system utilizing this waiver program to enable the first universal health care system in the U.S. Deemed ColoradoCare by its writers, the measure would essentially replace individual insurance premiums with a 10 percent income tax wherein employers would pay 6.67 percent and employees 3.3 percent of the new tax. For nearly all working people, this would represent a significant savings on their cost of healthcare. For all other income, from self-employment to capital gains to real estate, etc., a 10 percent tax would likewise be applied should the measure pass. ColoradoCare would allow for alternative forms of private insurance, but residents would still be required to pay the ColoradoCare income tax. It is estimated the new taxes would bring in $2 billion for budget year 2017, increasing to $25 billion in new tax revenue by 2019. With the additional $11.2 million still available from federal and state funds, the total annual funds budgeted for ColoradoCare is expected to hit $36.2 billion by 2019. The exact implementation date is undetermined by the measure. If approved by voters, ColoradoCare would be Boulder Weekly

governed by a nonpartisan, non-governmental 21-member elected board of trustees. The exact spending in the first few years would be determined by the governing board and could include costs incurred to gain federal approval of the measure. Beginning in 2017, ColoradoCare is estimated to spend $2 billion per year until the plan is fully implemented. The bill also gives the board the authority to terminate the single-payer system should the federal government fail to provide waivers, exemptions or funding, such as Medicare payments. The ColoradoCare Yes campaign claims 80 percent of Colorado families would save on health care if the amendment passes. While it’s true the amendment would require increasing taxes by $25 billion per year, it is also true that this figure translates to $5 billion per year in savings for residents and employers who are currently spending $30 billion in health care costs each year. Critics argue the new tax would give Colorado the highest taxes in the nation and would effectively double the size of the state budget. Furthermore, until ColoradoCare is fully implemented, citizens would be paying taxes without receiving any benefits. Supporters say that is a small price to pay as ColoradoCare would cover all Colorado residents, including undocumented immigrants, and would take over the administration of Medicaid, including the federal funding. If it passes, the state legislature and governor would appoint an interim board of 15, who would then set election guidelines for the eventual 21-member board of trustees. Opponents argue the board would be given too much unchecked power with the authority to set elections, campaign finance requirements, with little accountability to the state government. Although the state would collect the taxes to fund the system, the governor, legislature and Colorado courts would not have oversight of the board. As written, ColoradoCare would not be subject to TABOR revenue limits, however voters would need to approve any future tax increases to support the program. The board of trustees would be responsible for setting an election schedule separate from other state elections for both electing board members and increasing taxes. The ColoradoCare board would also be charged with negotiating rates with health care providers. Proponents argue this would reduce overall health care costs by reducing administrative costs, adjusting

payments to providers while also ensuring they are paid for all services. Opponents also argue the measure could negatively affect the quality and service levels of health care in the state. They fear passing the law could cause providers to leave the state, or opt out of providing for ColoradoCare patients if the rates are set too low. Proponents claim that through ColoradoCare, 96 percent of health care costs would be covered. There would be no deductibles if the statewide system is implemented and no copayments for primary and preventative care services. Copayments for other services would be set by the board of trustees after the measure passes. Prescription drugs would also be covered, as would pediatric care, mental health services, designated dental, vision and hearing benefits, laboratory services, and women’s health and maternity care. However, pro-choice activists have come out against the bill saying a previous (1984) state constitutional amendment preventing state-funded abortions would mean women wouldn’t have guaranteed access to the procedure if ColoradoCare passes. The main opponents of Amendment 69 have raised over $4 million to defeat the measure, with significant donations from companies who profit from the current health care system such as HealthOne, which operates private hospitals, United Healthcare, KP Financial Services (Kaiser Permanente) and Centura. The health care giant, Anthem, Inc., contributed $1 million to the anti-69 campaign. Several elected officials have also come out against ColoradoCare, including Gov. John Hickenlooper and U.S. Senator Michael Bennet, along with other state, county and local representatives in addition to various business associations. A recent poll shows 78 percent of Colorado Medical Society membership is in opposition to the measure. ColoradoCare is endorsed by progressive leaders from around the country including Senator Bernie Sanders, feminist and political activist Gloria Steinem and MIT professor and political observer Noam Chomsky (See sidebar page 14 for Chomsky interview). The initiative has also been embraced by physician and State Sen. Irene Aguilar (D-32), and has drawn support from many Colorado physicians, nurses and business people. There is no question Amendment 69 comes with some uncertainties. However, with individual healthinsurance premiums expected to increase by approximately 20 percent in 2017 under the current system, and with the examples of virtually every other industrialized nation in the world already operating with a fair and just single-payer system similar to the proposed ColoradoCare system, we believe it’s time for Colorado to lead the way in establishing universal health care for all its residents. October 6, 2016 13

SIDEBAR: CHOMSKY ON AMENDMENT 69 The following interview was conducted via email. Q: How important is Amendment 69 in the context of American democracy? Why is it important right now, at this point in history? A: The U.S. health care system is an international scandal. By standard estimates, costs are about twice as high per capita as other industrial societies, and outcomes are relatively poor. Furthermore, standard estimates significantly understate the costs, because they do not take into account the costs to individuals — time wasted maneuvering the complexities of the system, for example. These are extensive, as everyone who has had to deal with the system knows — including, incidentally, [the Affordable Care Act], as I know even from personal experience. This massive waste traces back largely to the inefficiency of the privatized system — and even Medicare, which is far better than the general system, suffers from having to work through private insurers. Polls have shown for a long time that the public favors public health care, often by large margins — a rather striking fact, since there is little articulate support for it in the mainstream and substantial criticism. For example, when Obama proposed the ACA, a public option was favored by about 5 to 3, but was not considered. Often the states are laboratories in which constructive ideas and legislation can be pursued, and if successful, extended beyond. For these reasons, the Colorado initiative is of great current significance. Q: Can you be more specific when you say “the actual costs ignored by these measures?” A: For example, the costs of time and effort spent working through the complexities and bureaucratic inefficiencies of the system in order to obtain

health care. This is a much more general problem. Economists choose not to take into account costs to users, only to providers. Thus if you have to contact your bank because of some problem or question, say an error in your statement, you call and receive an automated message with a list of options, which may not include what you want. You then work through their automated procedure, listening to music and a polite recorded voice telling you to just wait. Finally, if you’re patient enough, you will get to speak to someone who can answer your

A: It’s not an argument: it is an assertion, which is simply false. To the extent that ACA is dysfunctional, it is because of the need to work through the extremely inefficient, bureaucratized, and costly private system. Thus Medicare is far simpler and more efficient, though not as much as it should be, because Medicare too has to work through the privatized system.

Q: Would you mind elaborating on your personal experience? A: [I] don’t like to go into personal Wikimedia Commons/Andrew Rusk experiences. I happen to have health care through my university affiliation, but my wife had to obtain it through the exchanges. A painful experience, which wasted a huge amount of time. We’ve also had experience with national health care, in both poor and rich countries. The differences are dramatic.

question. That saves lots of money for the bank, so it is “efficient” and “economical.” But it is costly to you, and that cost is multiplied by the number of users. Same with privatized health care. Analysts commonly observe that U.S. health care costs are twice those of comparable countries and with relatively poor outcomes, which is true, but it understates the costs. By a huge factor, in fact, if we take into account the hidden costs to individuals. Only one example. Same with the time wasted paying bills, and much else. Q: Many opponents of universal health care say the ACA has made the system worse in the U.S., not better, and they argue a single-payer system, such as ColoradoCare, would do the same. What’s your response to this argument?

Q: Why doesn’t the U.S. have universal health care like other industrialized nations? A: The U.S. is to an unusual extent a business-run society. That is a major reason why it ranks so low among industrial countries in social justice measures generally. The political power of financial institutions, pharmaceutical corporations, and other concentrations of private power is so great that the public will is often overwhelmed. One even reads in the press that although the public might want national health care, it is “politically impossible” — meaning that private power will not permit it. Q: How does Amendment 69 fit into this context of “political will” and even your previous criticisms of the media and how it reports on health care? Has it changed at all with the Affordable Care Act? A: “Political will” in this context means the will of elected officials to represent their constituents instead of

funders, lobbyists, and private power generally. The media, unfortunately, rarely capture these critical phenomena with any accuracy, scarcely even reporting what is consistently found in academic political science about the extreme failure of elected officials to represent their constituents. The ACA has not changed this noticeably. Amendment 69 would provide a welcome break in this very unfortunate pattern. Q: What about the economic arguments, some even from key Democratic leaders in Colorado such as Governor John Hickenlooper, against Amendment 69? A: The experience of other countries shows quite convincingly that universal health care is far more efficient economically, and in human terms as well. Q: Reproductive rights advocates have come out against ColoradoCare because it doesn’t mention abortion in its coverage and they think it will actually limit access to such services. This is just one example of more liberal organizations coming out against the bill. Do you think the significance of the initiative lies in the over-arching principles behind a single-payer system and not in details such as these? A: That has nothing to do with the difference between universal (“singlepayer”) and privatized health care. Q: Do you see health care as a human right rather than a privilege? A: I agree with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, to which we formally claim adherence, that health care is a human right. It’s quite true, and unfortunate, that elite opinion often prefers the stand of Reagan’s Secretary of State Jeane Kirkpatrick, who dismissed the social and economic provisions of the UD with ridicule as “a letter to Santa Claus.” But the primary opposition is, very simply, concentrated private power and its enormous political power in our semi-plutocratic political system.

You are what you eat

‘Solo Cooking for a Sustainable Planet’ personalizes sustainability

ON THE BILL: Joyce Lebra. 7:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 17, Boulder Bookstore, 1107 Pearl St., Boulder.

by Sarah Haas

rom the outside looking in, there is a lot to learn from centenarians, people who live to be one hundred years old or older. It’s as if to study their behaviors is to uncover the formula for longevity, to find the proverbial fountain of youth. According to the United Nations, the average human life expectancy is 71 years. The extra thirty years of living enjoyed by the approximately 300,000 centenarians is owed to a combination of exercise, sociability, attitude, environment and diet. At 90 years old, Boulderite Joyce Lebra hasn’t yet reached the triple digits, but she has every intention of doing so. She says she enjoys her age and her newest book, Solo Cooking for a Sustainable Planet, encourages the specific behaviors that anthropologists and scientists agree allow for longevity. But formulas for a long life aside, the book is also a reminder of what the aged can teach, from the inside looking out, in this case about the relationship between our health and the planet’s. “I have seen species go extinct in my life,” Lebra says. “I grew up in Honolulu and there were always these little crabs running across and burrowing in the sand. Now they are all gone because they went extinct and that is forever. I’m glad I am my age ... I hate to see the planet dying because I know that it wasn’t always this way.” Lebra also reminisces about when she was young-

er, when small farmers raised cows on their natural diet of grass and people ate a lot less meat. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, 26 percent of the Earth’s terrestrial surface is now used for livestock grazing. And according to the Sierra Club, in the United States these animals consume 95 percent of domestic oat production and 80 percent of corn production, most of which comes from genetically modified seed grown on big ag farms. “Industrial agriculture, especially when it comes to meat, is not good for people or the planet,” Lebra says. “This is a vegetarian/pescatarian cookbook not only because that is the diet that supports your own health, but the health of the planet as well.” Despite this essential connection, food tends to be undervalued, both economically and culturally. The United States Department of Agriculture reports the per capita disposable income spent on food in the U.S. has decreased from 17.5 percent in 1960 to 9.9 percent in 2013, ranking the country among the lowest spenders in the world. Instead of being appreciated on its own terms, food tends to be valued as a commodity like corn or soybean which n are traded as a means to money, just like crude oil or silver. The cultural side effects of the commodification of food causes consumers to buy food at the lowest price point while maximizing convenience and minimizing

the amount of time and energy required Joyce Lebra, author of to cook and eat. Solo Cooking for a Sustainable Planet, plays From her sixth the harp in her Boulder story Boulder apartapartment. ment, Lebra takes this bird’s eye view of society’s culinary attitude, but it was personal relationships that motivated her to do something about it. “I wrote the book because I had several friends who said to me things like, ‘I live alone so I don’t cook,’ as if you’re not worth cooking for if you live by yourself,” she says. “The worst remark I heard came from a doctor’s wife who said ‘I don’t care what I put in my stomach.’ That did it. “You have to be concerned with what you eat. What you eat is connected with the environment, with sustainability.” Even though Lebra’s current focus is on living fully, she is beginning to consider life after death and if there is such a thing as “healthy dying.” Her next book seeks to facilitate a conversation about what follows a life well lived and how cultural attitudes toward death affects those nearing the end as well as those still in the thick of life. But for now, she hopes that her cookbook will encourage you to “venture into the kitchen for more than a glass or water or a piece of toast” — for your sake and the planet’s, too.

New research from scientists at the University of Wisconsin Madison and Aarhus University in Denmark shows where and how novel species could emerge due to the changing climate. The study, published in the journal Nature Climate Change on Sept. 19, examines the various changes in precipitation and temperature from 1901-2013. These changes can create new climates that cause species to adapt, possibly evolving into a new species all together. Species also may not be able to keep up with the pace at which their climate is changing. Or they may not be able to adapt to changing climate variables such as temperature and precipitation. For example, speWikimedia Commons cies of trees dotting the upper treeline of the Rocky Mountains may be forced to move to a higher elevation to combat rising temperatures, and trees along the lower treeline of the Rockies could be pulled in the opposite direction, depending on moisture availability. Besides the Rockies, the research also indicates that it is possible for novel species to appear in Australia, boreal Asia and Africa, the Amazon, South American Grasslands and the North American Great Plains and temperate forests due to new climates emerging and affecting moisture- and temperature-sensitive species. — Zach Evens In an effort to reduce and prohibit fracking representatives of the Latin American Parliament, as well as church and civil society leaders launched the Latin American Coalition Against Fracking for Water, Climate and Sustainable Agriculture on Sept. 19. The fracking ban throughout the continent of South America would protect the Guarani Wikimedia Commons Aquifer, one of the world’s largest aquifer systems and a major source of freshwater in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay that supplies around 55 million people with freshwater. Research shows fracking can pollute water sources as well as air and soil, which directly affects agriculture on the land around the fracking site. Five provinces in Uruguay, as well as a province in Argentina have already passed legislation to ban fracking. Due to the work of Coalition No Fracking Brazil for Climate, Water and Life (COESUS), more than 100 cities in Brazil have banned fracking as well. The launch took place at “The Dangers of Fracking in Latin America” event held in the Legislative Palace in Montevideo, Uruguay, home to the Uruguayan Parliament. The event was organized by the Parliament of Uruguay and 350.org, with the aim to grow and disperse the efforts of COESUS throughout the region. Though efforts like this are being made, land is still currently mapped for oil and gas exploration in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Paraguay, Uruguay and Venezuela by oil and gas companies with economic interest in the area. — Zach Evens

ADVENTURE One way or another, Nothing stops J.T. Thompson by Claire Woodcock

Boulder Weekly

njuries often take athletes out of the game, but for Boulderite J.T. Thompson, a fractured neck gave him the push he needed to enter the world of triathlons. The call to action began in 2007, when a family skiing trip became a freak skiing accident on the slopes of Verbier, Switzerland. “I was skiing with my two kids in a foot-and-a-half of powder. I hit a boulder that was buried underneath the snow and kind of tucked and rolled and landed on top of another boulder,” Thompson explains. He tried to get up but couldn’t. He stopped moving, knowing something was wrong with his neck. His sons, then 11 and 12, were skiing alongside him when the incident took place. Still conscious, Thompson was able to give them instructions on what they needed to do. He did his best to keep his neck stabilized and conserve his energy, but it was the end of the day, the slopes were barren and the sun was beginning to set; Thompson knew it was going to be a race against time to get him the mountain. “I knew I couldn’t spend the night there. It was like, ‘Alright, I’ve got to get off this slope or I’m going to be dead,’” he says. Thompson laid on the slope about an hour before ski patrol was able to get him into a helicopter and on his way to the hospital. It turns out the rock had missed his spinal cord by about an eighth of an inch, making it possible for the fracture to slowly heal itself. He was given anti-inflammatory medication and brought back to the hotel where his kids were waiting eagerly to

Three days later, the family flew home. “I can still visualize it happening and kind of looking around that slope and stuff,” he says. “The crazy thing was that if I had landed 2 feet to the left of where I did, I would have landed in a footand-a-half of powder and nothing would have happened,” he says. A month after the accident, Thompson was sitting on the couch, feeling pretty miserable in a full neck collar that was making sleeping difficult. He was flipping through channels on the TV when he stumbled on a replay of the 2006 Kona IRONMAN 70.3 World Championships. Engrossed, he decided then and there he was going to become a triathlete and compete in an IRONMAN. Thompson worked through a grueling month see THOMPSON Page 22

of physical therapy. He hired a coach for beginning triathletes to help him gain the endurance he needed to compete in a 70.3 half triathalon. He built up his endurance to be able to swim 1.2 miles, bike 56 miles and run 13.1 miles. Because his motivation to train was self-directed, his motivation to heal grew even stronger. A year after the accident in Switzerland, Thompson was competing in his first half triathlon, the Doc and Sok in Watchung, New Jersey, adding 10 more 70.3 triathlons to his list before a bike accident in the 2011 New Jersey Gran Fondo put his hard work on hold. Thompson shattered his collarbone, broke three ribs and punctured a lung. “And after about five months when that all healed, I couldn’t raise my arm above my shoulder. It turned out I had nerve damage in my shoulder,” he says. The extent of his injuries landed him on an operating table in New York City, where he underwent a microscopic nerve decompression surgery. What was supposed to be an hour-and-a-half outpatient Courtesy of J.T. Thompson surgery turned into a six-and-a half-hour nightmare. “But then, to make it more fun, when I got to the recovery room, the left side of my throat, tongue and vocal chords were all paralyzed,” he says. It took doctors five days to determine that Thompson had a stroke on the operating table due to changes in blood pressure caused by an undiscovered hole in his heart. (Thompson’s case was later written about in a medical journal.) It was six months before Thompson was set to compete in IRONMAN 70.3 Wisconsin. All he could think about was getting to the start line. “In that situation, I was like, alright, I’ve got six months to get myself so I can swim. Because I know I can run and I know I can bike with a bum shoulder, but it’s the swimming that’s going to be the challenge,” Thompson says. After four months of physical therapy, Thompson competed in IRONMAN Wisconsin, and while it may not have been his best race ever, he did it. “It was very satisfying to get that done and subsequently I continue to kind of press on,” he says. To date, he’s competed in six IRONMAN races. In September he competed in Australia’s IRONMAN 70.3 World Championships, qualifying for this race at the Boulder IRONMAN back in June. With 83 countries representing some of the best triathletes in the world, the race for J.T. Thompson was all about sticking to his plan and just enjoying himself in the moment. “In my age group I was probably in about the 70th percentile. I mean, I wasn’t near the front and stuff,” he says. “I was out on the course and I was running pretty well and I was getting passed by a number of people. It just kind of struck home that when you get to that World Championship level, there’s a lot of really good athletes from around the world.” When asked if he considers himself a true “iron” man, Thompson credits mental endurance and his triathlete community as the inspiration for his perseverance. “Trust me, when you’re in the middle of an IRONMAN, sometimes you have those conversations with yourself like, ‘What the heck am I doing this for?’ But as I got into [racing] what I really found is I enjoyed the whole triathlon community and lifestyle and staying fit and having that goal out there and doing the training sessions with people that will help you achieve that goal,” he says. Thompson and one of his sons are signed up for the Runner’s World half-marathon in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, on Oct. 14. After that, Thompson plans on taking a break from swimming to focus on biking, running and skiing for a while. But one thing is for sure: There’s no stopping J.T. Thompson. “One way or another I’m going to get to that startline,” Thompson says. “I just basically say don’t let these things stop you. There’s always going to be challenges to any goal that you’re trying to get and you’ve got a choice that you can let it stop you or you’ve got a choice that you can figure out.”

Americas Latino Eco Festival explores the path to environmental victory

HE TIMING of the fourth annual Americas Latino Eco Festival (ALEF) could not be better. The United States is in the middle of a presidential election that has seen environmental issues, including climate change, rising to the forefront of political significance for the first time in our nation’s history. After years of hearing both political parties claim that environmental issues like global warming just didn’t move the needle when it came to election outcomes, 2016 has been a decidedly different story. The infusion of Independent Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders into the presidential race energized millions of voters for whom the environment — that’s to say the future of the planet — is one of their primary concerns. This massive dose of environmental energy amongst the general population has forced changes to at least the rhetoric of this year’s political debates and quite possibly to changes in future policies as

well. But will it be enough to save our planet from flying past global warming’s point of no return, which is at best only a few decades away and at worst... now? The answer is, only if we are all working together. And that is the message of ALEF. First we should point out that while this amazing festival is playing host to some of the most respected and well-known leaders of the global Latino community when it comes to the arts, sciences and environmental activism, it exists for the benefit of everyone who cares about the future of our planet regardless of the color of your skin. So don’t think that this festival is for Latinos only; it is for all of us who care about the environment. The reason for the emphasis on the Latino environmental perspective is simple: Latinos make up 70 percent of our hemisphere’s population and they represent the largest minority group in the U.S. at nearly 60 million people and growing. They have long been left out of the organized environmental movement despite the fact that far more Latinos live in areas where pollution and global warming are currently harming their communities than whites.

And they have been left out despite the fact that 54 percent of Latinos see climate change as something that is extremely important to them personally and 63 percent of Latinos support broad federal action to slow climate change. (Both of these percentages are much higher than those for whites.) The bottom line is that if we are to prevail in our fight for clean air, clean water and against global warming, we can not be successful without the help and inclusion of Latinos, and that is why Boulder Weekly is a proud sponsor of the ALEF and why we want to encourage all of our readers to attend as many of the festival’s panel discussions with artists, activists and scientists as possible. It is truly one of the most important events in Colorado. We hope you’ll enjoy the following profiles and conversations with a few of the important artists attending this year’s festival. And we hope to see you there, for the sake of all of our futures. — Joel Dyer Robert Curtis | CANTOMEDIA

ESMERALDA SANTIAGO

uerto Rico is a very different place now than how novelist Esmeralda Santiago remembers it from childhood. “Now when you fly into Puerto Rico, you see roof, upon roof, upon roof, upon roof,” Santiago says. “You see fewer patches of beautiful treetops. You just don’t see as much green as you used to. It is very disappointing, and it makes you sad, because you know what you’re losing — that connection to a place that was very specific in its natural environment.” Santiago was born in San Juan and grew up in a rural community, where her family had no electricity or running water. While those conditions were far from idyllic, they created a bond to the land that Santiago still feels. It’s a relationship that she thinks people are losing, and why events like the ALEF are so important. “We do lose some of our humanity when we don’t know where our food comes from and when we don’t know anything about nature, and when we’re afraid of walking into the woods because something might bite us,” she says. “[But] festivals like this remind us that we are a part of these systems.” When she was 11, Santiago’s family moved to New York City, where she later attended drama school. Then after eight years of parttime study at community college, she received a full scholarship to Harvard, graduating magna cum laude in 1976. Since then, Santiago has written multiple memoirs and novels, even a children’s book. In her work, her homeland and culture are never far from her mind. 24 October 6, 2016

“Puerto Rico is kind of this little forgotten island in the middle of the Caribbean that people in the United States don’t think about unless something major happens, usually not good news,” she says. “Basically I want to put Puerto Rico on the map, and that’s what I’m trying to do in my own small way.” In her memoirs, Santiago shares personal stories about her family and her culture. She’s won several awards for her work and her books have been widely read. All over the world she’s heard from fans of her books who relate to her story, showing that we may live differently, but we’re all linked. “When you write from your heart, and with passion and truth, you will connect with people even when they’re really different than you,” she says. “I think the reason people feel connected to me through my work is because we are all grains of sand on the beach. We’re all in here together.” And because we’re all here together, she says, we all have a duty Boulder Weekly

to take care of the planet together. “People are very careful about about cleaning their homes, and dusting their chachkas and taking care of their things,” she says. “But just step outside, and remember you have to take care of that as well.”

n 2005, when Lorenzo Duran found himself unemployed at 36, he took it as an opportunity to discover what he really wanted in life. After some soul searching, he realized his life had been absent of his two passions: art and nature. He returned to the canvas and picked up the oils again, working with the environment as his muse. “We belong to nature, we can’t live, breathe or eat without it,” he says in a translated email. “Art has always been a thought provoking tool, and it can touch people’s feelings in many ways, so if all that power is used properly then art can help to promote environmental awareness and of any other kind.” One day in 2006 he found artistic inspiration in an unlikely place: a caterpillar. see ECO FESTIVAL Page 26

usician Patricia Zárate believes there’s a lot to be gained from nature. “[I] simply believe you can’t play music if you don’t connect to nature and your surroundings,” she says. “[I] believe the person playing is a whole being connected to all of the different realities, including the reality of the ecosystem we live in.” Born in Chile, Zárate came to the U.S. when she was 20 to pursue music, and has since traveled all over the world with jazz and music therapy. Now she works as the social outreach coordinator for the Berklee Global Jazz Institute, which encourages students to use music as a tool for the betterment of society. “First we explore creativity, then we explore and advance the social power of Courtesy of Patricia Zárate music, then we connect music with nature,” she says. To do this, in the past she and her colleagues have taken students outside of the classroom to the jungles of Panama to encourage them to observe the world around them. She’s taken not only music students but biology students as well in an effort to promote the interrelation of art and science, which is essential yet hard to find in education. In these outings, students experience the all-encompassing sounds of nature, as well as lessons from plants themselves, like how the trees move. “When the wind goes north the trees go south, they move to the contrary place,” she says. “They don’t move the same as the other trees because the lianas (vines) will get them, and if there is any tree that falls, all the trees that have the lianas around them will fall with that tree. So the tree that finds a different rhythm is the one that survives in the forest. ... “The biology students ask why in a biology sense, and we ask why as musicians, and we come to the same conclusion: You need that creativity in order for your species to survive,” she continues. Finding these patterns help students become more aware, and with awareness comes action to save the environment. Zárate believes in the power of music to change the world. “Music is just too powerful in huge way. It’s going to affect us if we want or not. Noise affects us, neurologically, emotionally, psychologically on a conscious and unconscious level. We simply cannot ignore it,” she says. “We [as musicians] need to take responsibility, and we all need to do something about it. Sound is part of nature, and we all are part of nature.”

He was intrigued by the shapes left by the animal consuming the plant, and he wondered if he could emulate the same technique on a leaf. Duran went on to teach himself leaf cutting and to carve intricate designs into leaves, including other natural life and animals. He also researched the best ways to preserve and conserve his work to last longer than an average leaf that has fallen on the sidewalk. “I try to be somehow part of a circular way of making things, by imitating Nature I feel more connected to Courtesy of Lorenzo Duran it,” he writes. His work bridges the gap between art and environmentalism and calls the viewer’s attention to many aspects of nature: the importance of one single leaf, the beauty and potential plants can hold, the overlooked creativity of animals, and the constant life cycle. On his website he quotes Spanish writer Jorge Wagensberg: “The environment is one of the essential parts of a living being.” For him the quote serves as a reminder. “I think it’s the basis for what we are,” he says. “Even when we behave as disconnected from nature and our environment, we are part of the same thing; so I try to keep it in mind for me, my work and everything else.”

But this being your first national speaking tour, I’m curious how the format has evolved over the years. How has this become what is now The Power of Partying speaking tour?

A: Again, I’m just riddled with the same since day one and I just try to craft it and get better and better. Sort of doubt. I’m self-assured in my doubt. I’m confident that I feel very insecure.

I’m the first to admit that I’m very ignorant, but I’m aware of my itivity and the method — my bow and arrow so to speak — is partying. Beyond ignorance and [knowing that] does create openness for us to go to these places that it’s just about consistency. a bit more fearlessly and go there Q: Does that mean that in the 10 together and I think that’s one of the years that you’ve been offering your thoughts, you’ve never looked back at a natures of partying. Boulder Weekly

Q: You advocate for partying in such broad terms. As a motivational speaker and role model, do you think it’s dangerous to speak about something like partying without narrowing it to exclude, say, excessive drug use? A: Well, life is dangerous. All these things, in their vastness, in their freedoms, are dangerous, but in a way that we appreciate, in a way that makes us willing to take on the danger. So partying in its most basic sense is a bit hard to define, but that’s just the same as life. Life is this thing that’s the most familiar; it’s the experience of all experiences but it comes with all sorts of pit falls and challenges. And what partying is is trying to take that life force feeling — trying to take the experience called being a person — and making that leap of faith to declare that it is a good thing. Because we have a million reasons to not feel happy, to feel like life is bad and painful and just suffering, but we’re trying to go one step beyond that and look at the whole thing as this adventure full of ups and downs and [understand] that the whole thing must be beautiful because we decide it is. And that’s what partying is, a determination to maintain the belief that life is good in all of its complexity. Q: You’ve made it clear that this is not a political tour. Is that difficult to do at a time when all people seem to want to do is talk about politics? A: Well, maybe because people do want to talk about it so much [it’s] nice to have moments set aside where we talk about everything but that, where we talk about the principles that underlie that. Governmental politics, in particular, do make up a lot of our day-to-day lives and interactions, but they are not life itself. ... Life is a very delicate but also very powerful thing that no one can affect other than the individual. The hardest work that can ever be done must be done by each one of us, one at a time from the inside out. So that’s the kind of stuff I’m trying to focus on in this lecture tour because, to be honest, I don’t hear most politicians discussing these types of principles and probably for good reason. They know that those aren’t the things that government can control.

t sounds just like Boulder: “a mixture of cheeky irreverence and sophistication, elegant and raucous.” It’s actually conductor Michael Butterman describing the first piece of the Boulder Philharmonic’s 2016-17 season. The opening concert will begin with Francis Poulenc’s Concerto for Two Pianos. You may not know the concerto, but Butterman is pretty sure Boulder audiences will enjoy it. “There’s a real joie de vivre about the outer movements,” he says. “The middle movement, though, is a testament to the surpassing beauty that can be conveyed through utter simplicity.” Soloists for the concerto will be the responsibility to make it come alive and duo pianists Greg Anderson and show its inherent colors and spirit.” Elizabeth Joy Roe. After the Poulenc, Like Butterman, Roe finds a lot of Roe will return to the stage alone to appeal in the concerto. “It’s such a perform Rachmaninoff ’s Rhapsody on a romp,” she says. “There’s an inherent Theme by Paganini, one of the mosthumor to the music, but also a kind of familiar, and most-beloved works in the cosmopolitan suavity.

had something stuck in my eye, and the only way I could get it out was to cry,” she says, laughing. “So I put on a recording of the 18th variation!” (It worked.) Tchaikovsky’s first three symphonies are not performed as often as his final three, numbers 4, 5 and 6. Of the early ones, the Symphony No. 2 is especially melodious. The name “Little Russian” comes from the Russian name for the Ukraine, where Tchaikovsky wrote the symphony in summer in 1872 while visiting his sister’s family. The symphony’s attractive melodies come in part from the local folk songs that Tchaikovsky used as themes — particularly the last movement, which is based on “The Crane,” a song the family’s butler often sang while the composer was at work. Although some of the themes are folk songs, the music all sounds like pure Tchaikovsky. “He really understood how to pace a work and how to create an inexorable drive toward a dramatic climax,” Butterman says. “We see that in the second and fourth movements in particular. “In the second, we have a simple march, first presented in the low woodwinds, that builds to involve the whole orchestra. In the finale, the folk tune is declaimed in hymn-like fashion, not unlike in the 1812 Overture, before being used in a very effective long crescendo of excitement. The rhythms become ever more active, the pitch rises, brighter timbres take over and finally — of course! — the percussion comes in to punctuate the thrilling conclusion.”

What insights can ancient Buddhist teachings offer to the challenges of racism, inequity, and other issues of social justice we face today?

Anaya is a former UN Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples and Nobel Peace Prize Nominee. The events will feature indigenous music and dance from many acts including Grupo Tlaloc (Aztec), Francis Sherwood (Arikara/ Navajo), Steven Halsey (Sioux/Choctaw) at the Bandshell, with a film screening and workshop later in the afternoon. — Claire Woodcock

The way of the future ‘Lo and Behold,’ Herzog takes on the internet by Michael J. Casey

f all had gone according to plan, the internet would have made a rather inauspicious debut, ON THE BILL: Lo and Behold: Reveres of the but perhaps it wasn’t meant for modesty. On Connected World. October Oct. 29, 1969, two computers — one at the 12–15, The Boedecker University of California Los Angeles and the Theater at The Dairy Arts Center, 2590 Walnut St., other at Stanford Research Institute — were schedBoulder. thedairy.org uled to communicate to one another through ARAPANET, a predecessor of the internet. The International Film Series 7:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 17, first word UCLA tried to send was “login” but after Muenzinger Auditorium, only two characters, the transmission was terminatUniversity of Colorado ed. The result was the actual first word communiBoulder. internationalfilmseries.com cated via technology that would eventually lead to the internet: Lo. There is poetry in that, and it’s not lost on scientist Leonard Kleinrock, who recounts the story in Lo and Behold: Reveries of the Connected World. Nor is it lost on the 74-year old director behind the camera, Werner Herzog. For nearly 50 years, the Bavarian-born Herzog has plundered every possible corner of the globe, captured images from the 32,000-year-old caves of Chauvet and life under the ice shelf of Antarctica. If Herzog can’t go to space — Lord knows he will try — then the deep and expansive world of the internet is where he must go. Lo and Behold is the result of that exploration. Told in 10 vignettes, Herzog interviews to the pioneers of the internet, the manipulators, the watchmen, the analysts, the everyday users and the victims. In one case, Herzog talks to the Catsouras family who lost their daughter in a violent car crash. Photos from the scene were uploaded to the internet and distributed to anyone seeking morbid titillations. The internet is the manifestation of evil, Mrs. Catsouras surmises. In another instance, Herzog talks to Elon Musk of Space X about the crucial role the internet plays in the future of communication and invention. How else will we be able to talk to Mars? Trying to accomplish what Musk imagines without the internet would be akin to robbing a carpenter of their hammer while asking them to build a house. Both of these conclusions are rather mundane — we’re all pretty much on board with the idea that the internet can be both an awful and outstanding tool — but Herzog doesn’t stop there. He wants to know if the internet dreams of itself. In Herzog’s hands, it just might. It is said that art is a mirror that the artist holds up to society. The caveat is that the artist selects what the mirror reflects. With the internet, the mirror has no frame. It is everything we’ve been, are and want to be. Maybe that want is to be simultaneously singular and part of a collective, specific and anonymous, detached and engaged. Herzog distills this duality into a single image: Buddhist monks swaddled in bright orange robes quietly strolling along the banks of Lake Michigan, their heads turned not toward the impressive Chicago skyline or heaven, but to the glowing screens of the smartphones in their hands. It is a humorous image, somewhat ironic, but Herzog’s camera lingers so the viewer can behold the dual complexities of the image and the very nature of the internet. There is nothing singular about it.

Nothing to do but scuff down the graveyard road behind the playground, past the name-stones lined up in rows beneath their guardian pines, on out into the long, low waves of plains that dissolved time. We’d angle off from fence and telephone line, through ribbon-grass that closed behind as though we’d never been, and drift toward the bluff above the river-bend where the junked pickup moored with its load of locust-skeletons. Stretched across the blistered hood, we let our dresses catch the wind while clouds above dimmed their pink to purple, then shadow-blue — So slow, we listened to our own bones grow.

Bless them biscuits

A Southerner waxes poetic about Lucile’s big, beautiful buttermilk biscuits

n Tuesday, Oct. 4, America’s favorite minimalist foodie Mark Bittman released How to Bake Everything, the fifth installation in what has become a beloved franchise and a staple graduation gift for incoming college freshmen across the country. Now, to be honest, despite growing up in the foothills of North Carolina watching many a folk make buttermilk biscuits from scratch, it was Bittman (and his book that started it all, How to Cook Everything) who taught me to bake tender, flaky buttermilk biscuits (sorry, Mom). I was one of those incoming college freshmen who received the red tome before leaving home, despite having little more than a microwave and a coffee maker for the first two years of college. In honor of Bittman’s five-year journey to create How to Bake Everything (and his 20-year mission to teach all of us how to cook everything), I thought I’d write about some of the best buttermilk biscuits in Boulder County, those at Lucile’s. The cherished Creole eatery needs little to no introduction or fanfare since it’s been going strong at the pale-yellow Victorian house on 14th Street for more than 35 years. The restaurant in Boulder is the original in what has become a small (but growing) chain of six Lucile’s in the Denver metro area. If you’re new to Boulder or just visiting, make the effort to get to Lucile’s, maybe on one of these perfect fall days where the sun shines bright and the air is crisp. If

you’re really lucky, you’ll get a seat on the porch where you can do a little people watchin’ and enjoy Lucile’s employee the season. But don’t worry Jenny Phelps displays a tray full of if it’s too cool or busy to buttermilk biscuits. catch a seat on the porch. Inside Lucile’s you’ll find a cozy table set with cloth napkins and homemade jam. Zydeco music gently drifts through a dining room decorated with Mardi gras beads, masks and Creole posters. But ambience ain’t what we’re here to talk about. Lucile’s makes nearly everything from scratch: jam, fresh-squeezed juices, gravy, chicory coffee, beignets and sausage. There are lots of foods at Lucile’s worthy of intense focus, but as a Southerner, I find myself drawn to their giant, homemade buttermilk biscuits. Buttermilk is a staple in baked goods for a couple of reasons. First, and most obviously, is the subtle tangy flavor it imparts to the finished product. The acid in buttermilk helps give baked goods more lift,

making biscuits lighter and fluffier, and it also prevents overcooking by creating a more alkaline environment in the baked good. In particular, Southern cooking has historically made buttermilk a staple ingredient as unrefrigerated fresh milk soured quickly in the southern heat. Buttermilk, the heavy cream leftover from churning butter, ferments from naturally occurring lactic acid bacteria. It simply has a longer shelf life and, consequently, that delicious tangy flavor. So it makes sense, as a Creole eatery, that Lucile’s would serve up a master example of the buttermilk biscuit. As big as an appetizer plate, these biscuits achieve the perfect balance between the moist, airy center and the ever-so-slightly chewy top. They open into halves with nary more than a gentle pull, perhaps a result of folding the dough over on itself once more before cutting the biscuits into rounds and placing them in the oven. To be honest, Bittman says buttermilk is his second favorite choice when making biscuits; he prefers yogurt. Yeah, they’re good that way, I reckon, but maybe Bittman and I will just have to disagree on that point. Lucile’s. 2124 14th St., Boulder, 303-442-4743.

NIBBLES from Page 43

This feeling was confirmed this week after I tasted my first Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte — more on that in a minute. I blame Starbucks for creating PSS (Pumpkin Spice Syndrome), which drives consumers, zombielike, toward the inconceivable dawn of Teavana Pumpkin Spice Brûlée Oolong, Dairy Queen Pumpkin Pie Blizzard, Jif Whipped Peanut Butter and Pumpkin Pie Spread, Pumpkin Spice Jell-O Pudding, Pumpkin Spice Peeps, Puppy Cake Wheat-Free Pumpkin Spice Cake (for dogs), and Glade Pumpkin Spice bathroom freshener. The thing is, most people don’t like pumpkin pie and have never actually tasted pumpkin in their life even if they have “pumpkin” pie once a year on Thanksgiving. Libby’s, the company that produces most of the canned “pumpkin” pie filling in the U.S., actually uses Dickinson winter squash, a relative of butternut squash. Recently a sign at a local supermarket read: “Canned pumpkin supply is currently out. We are looking for the new batch.” Don’t worry. This year’s supply is coming in. Or you can roast a kabocha squash to make the best-tasting “pumpkin” pie. I am not a fan of flavored coffee drinks because of the cost, calorie-load and sweetness, so I was not inclined to love Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte. These are my notes after my first taste: “My goodness what a beverage abomination! It’s just so sickly sweet and viscous with an odd orange hue. There’s a hint of nutmeg and allspice but overall the spice is barely there. Overall the flavor of Starbucks is reminiscent of supermarket pumpkin pie with Cool Whip. What’s wrong with this picture?” Statistics from Starbucks show that fans have purchased more than 200 million Pumpkin Spice Lattes since the coffee conglomerate introduced the drink in 2003. I recommend reading the fine print. According to Starbucks, the Pumpkin Spice Latte is a dessert with up to 650 calories each, containing the following ingredients: “Milk, Pumpkin Spice Sauce [Sugar, Condensed Skim Milk, Pumpkin Puree, Contains 2% Or Less Of Fruit And Vegetable Juice For Color, Natural Flavors, Annatto, Salt, Potassium Sorbate], Brewed Espresso, Whipped Cream [Cream (Cream, Milk, Mono And Diglycerides, Carrageenan), Vanilla Syrup (Sugar, see NIBBLES Page 46

Morning Glory Cafe

Water, Natural Flavors, Potassium Sorbate, Citric Acid)], Pumpkin Spice Topping [Cinnamon, Ginger, Nutmeg, Clove, Sulfiting Agents].” Maybe you can get a nonfat latte and sprinkle it with pumpkin pie spice? By the way, pumpkin spice doesn’t grow on a bush. The traditional ground pumpkin spice formula is: 6 parts cinnamon, 1 part nutmeg, 1 part ginger, 1/2 part allspice, 1/2 part cloves. I hate cloves so I cut it to almost nothing, add vanilla and increase the ginger. Note: Starbucks was attempting to mimic the taste of pumpkin pie in its coffee drink, but those, when made with canned pumpkin like Libby’s, are actually made from winter squash. Transparency requires that Starbucks rename it as Winter Squash Spice Latte.

Culinary Correspondence

Nibbles reader Scott Lane of Prescott, Arizona, recently wrote a letter published in Boulder Weekly taking exception to my column on whole animal butchery. You can read the entire letter in the Sept. 15 issue (boulderweekly.com/opinion/letters/ letters-91516). Lane detailed the advantages of a vegan diet, including this comment: “You can eat fruits and veggies all day long and only get healthier, but try eating pork all day long and see what happens.” I think either extreme is unhealthy. Lane seems to misunderstand my job. “Newspaper and magazine writers want to feel good about where their meat comes from, when they should feel good about not supporting the meat industry,” he wrote. Nibbles is a personal column I’ve been writing since 1995 that happens to be about food and what I eat. I do consume some flesh and I do feel good about where it comes from, at least most of the time. Mainly, I support good people locally who are doing the right thing with all kinds of food, animal and vegetable. I also love getting mail at: nibbles@boulderweekly.com.

Taste of the week

I roasted a small butternut squash: halve it, salt it, 400 degree oven for about 90 minutes until tender. I topped chunks of squash with some thick, garlic-y marinara sauce I made plus olive oil, basil and slices of fresh mozzarella and heated until bubbly. It made a darn fine dinner.

I’ve read a jeraboam of features on the rules of wine tasting, but the best I’ve seen were offered by Tim Atkin of The Observer, including: • Never wear a white shirt or blouse to a red-wine tasting. • Never trust a person who collects wine labels. • Plastic corks are almost impossible to put back in the bottle • Red wines are more interesting than whites; rosés are less interesting than both. • People worry far too much about food and wine matching. • Drink too much wine and eventually you’ll fall over.

drink Tour de brew: Post Brewing Company

EVERY THURSDAY 9PM

SWING NIGHT! WITH

THE BOULDER SWING COLLECTIVE

Better than your average bar by Michael J. Casey

aturdays are for many things, and beer and college football are at top of that list. But ON TAP: The Post when the Buffs are in town, local watering Brewing Company. 105 W. Emma St., holes suddenly burst to capacity with rabbleLafayette, 303-593rousers, chest-pounders and the sort of mis2066. creant that make me wish I’d stayed home and watched the game from the quite of my couch. Since I cut the cable cord years ago, the couch is extra quiet and I must venture into the world to watch 22 men squabble over a piece of pigskin. On this particular Saturday — Buffs 47, Oregon State Beavers 6 — I decided to try my luck east of Foothills Parkway Susan France and ventured into Old Town Lafayette where the Post Brewing Company offers cold beer and hot chicken. Imagine my surprise when I turned off S. Public Road and found the whole of Lafayette playing games, drinking beer and indulging in general reverie in Post’s parking lot. My instincts had not steered me wrong; today was Post’s first annual Townie Festival. Beside the fact that they were sponsoring the event, Post Brewing is an ideal place for such festivities. The brewery and restaurant resides in what once was Lafayette’s VFW Post 1771, and the communal atmosphere still lingers. The kitchen and hot counter are easily visible from the large dining room and a rectangular bar covers both the interior and the exterior dining rooms. In the back, past the silver fermenting tanks full of beer, there’s a lounge for those seeking quiet conversation and football. Eureka. As my associate and I settled into one of the oversized booths, we speculated that if we lived closer, the Post would be our neighborhood haunt. This was further confirmed when the beers arrived, particularly the Wet Hop Townie (6.2% ABV). The Townie Ale (6.2%) — Post’s workhorse — is a fine, reliable English-style IPA, but the Wet Hop ups the ante by adding loads of fresh hops from Paonia and Niwot. Wet hops are often unpredictable and don’t produce the uniform qualities that their dry brother and sisters do, but that unpredictability lends the wet hopped ale its character. In this case, a beer that is wonderfully floral with pleasantly rounded edges. This is an endlessly drinkable beverage and for the time being, only available on site. If soft and floral isn’t your thing — though it really should be — then the Rooster Cruiser (8.8%) is a big, busty Imperial IPA that my consort described as “hearty as mac & cheese.” Considering that Post serves a good deal of the famous comfort food, there might be something to that. Yes, the Post is big on chicken, but my eyes lean toward the dessert section, causing us to stumble on the wonderful combination of Key Lime Pie and Big Rosie (6.8%), a roasty, syrupy porter that goes down smooth, chasing the graham cracker crust away. Big Rosie is named after one of the elks mounted on Post’s walls, a less than pleasant reminder of what the Post used to be. But also a tip of the hat to the community that came before and still surrounds. Too bad I don’t live closer; we could be fast friends. Boulder Weekly

ARIES

MARCH 21-APRIL 19: At a recent party, a guy I hardly know

questioned my authenticity. “You seem to have had an easy life,” he jabbed. “I bet you haven’t suffered enough to be a truly passionate person.” I didn’t choose to engage him, but mused to myself, “Not enough suffering? What about the time I got shot? My divorce? My five-year-long illness? The manager of my rock band getting killed in a helicopter crash?” But after that initial reaction, my thoughts turned to the adventures that have stoked my passion without causing pain, like the birth of my daughter, getting remarried to the woman I divorced and performing my music for excited audiences. I bring this up, Aries, because I suspect that you, too, will soon have experiences that refine and deepen your passion through pleasure rather than hardship.

TAURUS

APRIL 20-MAY 20: It’s the Frank and Focused Feedback

Phase, Taurus — prime time to solicit insight about how you’re doing. Here are four suggestions to get you started. 1. Ask a person who loves and respects you to speak the compassionate truth about what’s most important for you to learn. 2. Consult a trustworthy advisor who can help motivate you to do the crucial thing you’ve been postponing. 3. Have an imaginary conversation with the person you were a year ago. Encourage the Old You to be honest about how the New You could summon more excellence in pursuing your essential goals. 4. Say this prayer to your favorite tree or animal or meadow: “Show me what I need to do in order to feel more joy.”

GEMINI

MAY 21-JUNE 20: Many of my readers regard me as being

exceptionally creative. Over the years, they have sent countless emails praising me for my original approach to problem solving and art making. But I suspect that I wasn’t born with a greater talent for creativity than anyone else. I’ve simply placed a high value on developing it, and I have worked harder to access it than most people. With that in mind, I invite you to tap more deeply into your own mother lode of innovative, imaginative energy. The cosmic trends favor it. Your hormones are nudging you in that direction. What projects could use a jolt of primal brilliance? What areas of your life need a boost of ingenuity?

CANCER

JUNE 21-JULY 22: Love wants more of you. Love longs for

you to give everything you have and receive everything you need. Love is conspiring to bring you beautiful truths and poignant teases, sweet dispensations and confounding mysteries, exacting blessings and riddles that will take your entire life to solve. But here are some crucial questions: Are you truly ready for such intense engagement? Are you willing to do what’s necessary to live at a higher and deeper level? Would you know how to work with such extravagant treasure and wild responsibility? The coming weeks will be prime time to explore the answers to these questions. I’m not sure what your answers will be.

LEO

JULY 23-AUG. 22: Each of us contains a multiplicity of selves. You may often feel like there’s just one of you rumbling around inside your psyche, but it’s closer to the truth to say that you’re a community of various characters whose agendas sometimes overlap and sometimes conflict. For example, the needy part of you that craves love isn’t always on the same wavelength as the ambitious part of you that seeks power. That’s why it’s a good idea to periodically organize summit meetings where all of your selves can gather and negotiate. Now is one of those times: a favorable moment to foster harmony among your inner voices and to mobilize them to work together in service of common goals.

VIRGO

AUG. 23-SEPT. 22: Pike’s Peak is a 14,115-foot mountain

in Colorado. It’s not a simple task to trek to the top. Unless you’re well-trained, you might experience altitude sickness. Wicked thunderstorms are a regular occurrence during the summer. Snow falls year-round. But back in 1929, an adventurer named Bill Williams decided the task of hiking to the summit wasn’t tough enough. He sought a more demanding challenge. Wearing kneepads, he spent 21 days crawling along as he used his nose to push a peanut all the way up. I advise you to avoid making him your role model in the coming weeks, Virgo. Just climb the mountain. Don’t try to push a peanut up there with your nose, too.

LIBRA

SEPT. 23-OCT. 22: “It isn’t normal to know what we want,” said psychologist Abraham Maslow. “It is a rare and difficult psychological achievement.” He wasn’t referring to the question of what you want for dinner or the new shoes you plan to buy. He was talking about big, long-term yearnings: what you hope to be when you grow up, the qualities you look for in your best allies, the feelings you’d love to feel in abundance every day of your life. Now here’s the good news, Libra: The next 10 months should bring you the best chance ever to figure out exactly what you want the most. And it all starts now.

SCORPIO

OCT. 23-NOV. 21: Practitioners of the Ayurvedic medical tradition tout the healing power of regular self-massage. Creativity expert Julia Cameron recommends that you periodically go out on dates with yourself. Taoist author Mantak Chia advises you to

Boulder Weekly

visualize sending smiles and good wishes to your kidneys, lungs, liver, heart and other organs. He says that these acts of kindness bolster your vigor. The coming weeks will be an especially favorable time to attend to measures like these, Scorpio. I hope you will also be imaginative as you give yourself extra gifts and compliments and praise.

SAGITTARIUS

NOV. 22-DEC. 21: The

astrology Go to RealAstrology.com to check out Rob Brezsny’s EXPANDED WEEKLY AUDIO HOROSCOPES and DAILY TEXT MESSAGE HOROSCOPES. The audio horoscopes are also available by phone at 1-877-873-4888 or 1-900-950-7700.

coming weeks will be one of the best times ever for wrestling with God or tussling with Fate or grappling with karma. Why do I say that? Because you’re likely to emerge triumphant! That’s right, you lucky, plucky contender. More than I’ve seen in a long time, you have the potential to draw on the crafty power and unruly wisdom and resilient compassion you would need to be an unambiguous winner. A winner of what? You tell me. What

dilemma would you most like to resolve? What test would you most like to ace? At what game would you most like to be victorious? Now is the time.

CAPRICORN

DEC. 22-JAN. 19: Are you grunting and sweating as you struggle to preserve and maintain the gains of the past? Or are you smooth and cagey as you maneuver your way towards the rewards of the future? I’m rooting for you to put the emphasis on the second option. Paradoxically, that will be the best way to accomplish the first option. It will also ensure that your motivations are primarily rooted in love and enthusiasm rather than worry and stress. And that will enable you to succeed at the second option.

AQUARIUS

JAN. 20-FEB. 18: Do you believe that you are mostly just

a product of social conditioning and your genetic make-up? Or are you willing to entertain a different hypothesis: that you are a primal force of nature on an unpredictable journey? That you are capable of rising above your apparent limitations and expressing aspects of yourself that might have been unimaginable when you were younger? I believe the coming weeks will be a favorable time to play around with this vision. Your knack for transcendence is peaking. So are your powers to escape the past and exceed limited expectations.

PISCES

FEB. 19-MARCH 20: In one of your nightly dreams, Robin

Hood may team up with Peter Pan to steal unused treasure from a greedy monster — and then turn the booty over to you. Or maybe you’ll meet a talking hedgehog and singing fox who will cast a spell to heal and revive one of your wounded fantasies. It’s also conceivable that you will recover a magic seed that had been lost or forgotten, and attract the help of a fairy godmother or godfather to help you ripen it.

Dear Dan: A question on your favorite topic, Dan. Just kidding, it’s a question about my vagina. I’m having a problem with the microbiome of my vulva and vagina. I’ve been going to my gyno for the last six months for recurrent bacterial vaginosis and yeast infections. She shrugs, gives me a script, the symptoms go away for a week or so, then they come back. I understand the infections are likely due to an imbalance in my vaginal pH, but I don’t know what to do to fix this. I’ve used probiotic suppositories to boost the amount of lactobacillus and these help more than anything else, but the problem remains. I also wear cotton, loose-fitting undies and practice good hygiene and never douche or use anything scented. The problem started when I stopped using condoms with my partner, but it’s not an STI. We’ve both been tested. There’s tons of sites online talking about this problem, but no one has a solution that I’ve found. How the hell can women with this problem fix their pH?! Thanks a ton if you read this far, and thanks a million tons if you or one of your experts has any ideas to help. — Vexed Und Lacking Vaginal Answers Dear VULVA: “I love that she used the word ‘vulva,’” says Dr. Debby Herbenick, a research scientist at Indiana University, a sexual health educator at the Kinsey Institute, and the author of Read My Lips: A Complete Guide to the Vagina

and Vulva and numerous other books. “Most people have no idea what that even is!” I know what that is! (Full disclosure: I know what that is now. I didn’t know what that was when I started writing this column.) The vulva is (the vulva are?) the external genitalia of the female — the labia, the clit, the vaginal opening, some other bits and pieces. (Fun fact: Vulva is Latin for wrapper.) The vagina, aka “the muscular tube,” runs from the vulva to the uterus. (Fun fact: Vagina is Latin for the sheath of a sword.) People tend to use “vagina” when referring to a woman’s junk generally, and while meaning follows use and I’m inclined to give it a pass, saying “vagina” when you mean “vulva” makes scientists like Dr. Herbenick rather teste. (Sad fact: Teste is not the singular form of testes.) Now back to your vulva and vagina, VULVA… Dr. Herbenick recommends seeing a “true vulvovaginal health expert” (TVHE) about your problem, VULVA, and your gynecologist presumably quali-

fies as a TVHE... right? “Not necessarily,” Dr. Herbenick says. “Gynecologists know far more about vaginal and vulvar health issues than most health care providers, but many gynecologists haven’t received deep-dive (pun not intended) specialized training in difficult-to-treat vulvovaginal health conditions. And if they have, it was likely when they were in med school — so years ago. They might not be up to date in the latest research, since not all doctors go to vulvovaginal-specific conferences.” Is there a fix for that problem? “Yes! If everyone lobbied for their doctors to go to events like the annual conference of the International Society for the Study of Vulvovaginal Disease (ISSVD),” Dr. Herbenick says, “we would live in a country with millions more happy, healthy, sex-interested women and others with vaginas and vulvas, too, like trans men.” As for your particular problem — a tough case of bacterial vaginosis — Dr. Herbenick, who isn’t a medical doctor but qualifies as a TVHE, had

some thoughts. “There are many different forms of bacterial vaginosis (BV) and different kinds of yeast infections,” Dr. Herbenick says. “These different kinds respond well to different kinds of treatment, which is one reason home yeast meds don’t work well for many women. And all too often, health care providers don’t have sufficient training to make fine-tuned diagnoses and end up treating the wrong thing. But if VULVA’s recurrences are frequent, I think it’s a wise idea for her to see a true specialist.” A TVHE is likelier to pinpoint the problem. Even so, Dr. Herbenick warns that it may take more than one visit with a TVHE to solve the problem. “I don’t want to over-promise, since BV remains a challenging diagnosis and often does come back at some point,” Dr. Herbenick says. “There’s no one-sizefits-all approach to BV, which is also why I think VULVA is best off meeting with a health care provider who lives and breathes vaginal health issues. The ISSVD is full of health care providers like that — they’re the Sherlock Holmes of vaginas and vulvas, none of this ‘shrug and here’s a script’ business. VULVA can check out ISSVD.org for more information.” Send questions to mail@savagelove.net and follow @fakedansavage on Twitter.

Out with the old: Rethinking marijuana as a gateway drug

or generations of Americans, marijuana’s description as a gateway drug was embedded into drug prevention education lessons. The federally endorsed D.A.R.E. program that ran from 1983 to 2009 demonized the substance itself, and often the users in the process, because the use of mar- Wikimedia Commons ijuana was believed to lead to harder and more dangerous drugs. The term “gateway drug” was consistent with the ideology of Ronald Reagan’s administration’s War on Drugs that sought total elimination of drug use and trade. The research of the day suggested that marijuana consumption was directly linked to the subsequent use of other licit and illicit substances and played a role in the development of addiction. Studies of the time, from the likes of the National Epidemiological Study of Alcohol Use and Related Disorders, found that adults who reported marijuana use were more likely than non-users to develop an alcohol- or nicotine-use disorder. Eventually, the correlation between cannabis, alcohol and nicotine developed into curricula that taught a causal relationship between marijuana and other Schedule 1 drugs like heroin and cocaine. But changes in public opinion are prompting a shift in drug education. Sixty-one percent of Americans now support legalization, 25 states have enacted laws legalizing medical marijuana and four states and the District of Columbia have legalized recreational marijuana. As marijuana’s “medical” and “recreational” associations strengthen, it is no longer practical to continue

to describe it as a gateway drug in order to curb use or highlight its negative health effects. To position marijuana as a gateway drug relies on the idea of a hierarchy of consequences that depend on the inevitability of severe danger, like overdose or death. While this may be effective in creating an association between a drug and a consequence, it does little to address what causes someone to use drugs in the first place. In 2009, after the D.A.R.E. program was found to be ineffective, the U.S. Department of Education and D.A.R.E. programs changed their approach, moving toward curricula that sought to balance education on healthy decision making and the health risks associated with drug-taking. In some instances, the change in positioning is almost diametric. Marijuana is now being used in some medical studies to treat opioid addiction and reduce the use of traditional pain killers in people with chronic pain. Last week, at an event for National Prescription Opioid and Heroin Epidemic Awareness Week, Attorney General Loretta Lynch fielded a question about marijuana. “When we talk about heroin addiction we usually ... are talking about individuals who start out with a prescription drug problem,” she said. “And then, because they need more and more, they turn to heroin. It isn’t so much that marijuana is the step right before. It’s not like we’re seeing that marijuana is a specific gateway.” Emerging curricula seeks to change the notion that drugs are a pathway to self-destruction, but rath-

er drug use as a symptom of underlying inabilities to cope with daily life. In the process, the language used teach kids about cannabis is coming under scrutiny. And it is emerging as a critical aspect of the efficacy of youth drug prevention education. Furthermore, there is some evidence to suggest that adolescent cannabis use is detrimental to the development of brain function, which reinforces the need for drug prevention education in schools. But it also introduced an evolution in how the message is delivered. As the standards and tactics changed at the national level they trickled down to state-level curricula, informing the Colorado Academic Standard drug prevention curriculum being used today. Odette Edbrooke, director of Health and Culture for Boulder Valley School District (BVSD) says the district uses the state’s skill-based programs to set the baseline for BVSD’s curriculum, but also leaves room for each school to tailor its programs to the needs of its specific student populations. She says that while “gateway” messaging is sometimes still used by teachers, it is not an official term, nor is it recommended. “It is not as common [as it once was] to create a hierarchy of drugs where you start [at an entry level drug] and end up with something way worse,” Edbrooke says. “Because, in your attempt to make the drug seem worse, you are inherently making the gateway drug seem not as bad.” The approach now being used by BVSD includes information about health consequences of specific drugs, but mostly seeks to empower students with coping strategies. These skills don’t just aim to prevent substance abuse, but to empower healthy decision making in everyday life. BVSD is still trying to find ways to measure the effectiveness of this approach, but seems confident that the new era of drug education is more effective than its predecessor.

The war to end the war on pot: Latest dispatches

ere are some of the latest dispatches in the war to end the war on marijuana. The news from the eastern front is encouraging. New polls from Massachusetts and Maine show 53 percent support for each state’s legalization initiatives, versus 40 percent opposition in Massachusetts and 38 percent in Maine. The Massachusetts results are particularly encouraging, because they show the initiative gaining support in the face of organized opposition coming from Governor Charlie Baker, the mayor of Boston and assorted business and law enforcement groups. A poll taken in early September showed the initiative passing, but by a closer 50-45 percent margin. And a poll taken last summer showed it losing. The other news from the two eastern states is that the pro-legalization forces started running TV ads this week. The ads show former law enforcement officers speaking out in favor of legalization, which suggests the supporters consider the opposition coming from law enforcement groups more threatening than that coming from political notables. It is a good thing they’re starting to run ads, because it is near certain they will be a strong antilegalization campaign mounted against them in Massachusetts. That can be taken almost as a given in light of the links to Massachusetts of multi-billionaire and legalization foe Sheldon Adelson and ex-Rhode Island Congressman and legalization opponent Patrick Kennedy. Chances are the Massachusetts campaign will turn into a hell of a donnybrook. A similar situation is shaping up in Arizona. The pro-legalization forces started their media

campaign for Proposition 205 this week, with an ad citing Colorado’s success in legalizing pot while avoiding an increase in underage use and raising millions for schools. A poll taken in early September for the Arizona Republic showed the initiative had 50 percent support with 40 percent opposed, which is good news, but old news by now. The bad news is that the opponents of the Arizona initiative have built up a $2 million war chest, so there will be a major media blitz against it, and it is questionable whether the pro-legalization forces will have the wherewithal to counter it. While they have raised $3 million in all, they had to spend most of it just getting on the ballot. The outcome may hinge on whether the pro-forces can get a late infusion of cash and on how well organized they are. In Nevada, two polls showed the pro-legalization initiative on a roll. A Suffolk University poll released September 30 found 57 percent support for legalization, up dramatically from 48 percent support in August. And a Rasmussen poll released

September 26 pegged support for the state’s legalization initiative at 53 percent, up two percentage points from a similar poll taken last summer. Rasmussen results are sometimes skewed Republican, so the number may understate support a bit. No word on how the campaign is unfolding in Nevada, but casino magnate Adelson has a big presence in the state, and he recently bought the Las Vegas Review-Journal and switched its position on legalization from pro to anti. In California, polling released last week showed Proposition 64 had 60 percent support. There hasn’t been a lot of new news regarding the campaign in the past week — except for the press discovering that some of the opponents of legalization are marijuana growers. The growers offer a grab-bag of reasons for their opposition, ranging from having to deal with too much government red tape to being wiped out by competition from well-heeled “big” marijuana start-ups. “I don’t want to replace a criminal injustice with an economic injustice,” said Hezekiah Allen, president of The California Growers Association, a trade group. His group declared itself neutral on Proposition 64 after a recent poll of its 750 members found that 31 percent supported it, 31 percent opposed it and 38 percent were undecided. The most striking thing about the outlaw growers’ opposition (they prefer to be described as outlaws rather than criminals) is that they evidently don’t have much fear of getting arrested — which gives them the luxury of being able to oppose legalization. Last week it was announced that marijuana arrests nationally had sunk to a 20-year low — 643,122 unlucky individuals who didn’t have the same luxury as the 750 growers. Which may explain why proposition 64 has 60 percent support.

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

POOR BILL: DAMNED IF YOU DO, DAMNED IF YOU DON’T

Bill Clinton, aka Hillary’s husband, just can’t win. He has spent a good deal of his political career defending himself from lies he has told to cover up the fact he boinked a bunch of women while married to the future president and pushed through a bunch of corporate-friendly legislation that ultimately hurt black Americans, led to the dot com bubble and its subsequence burst, and ultimately paved the way for overly deregulated banks to cause the great recession of 2008. Did we mention he oversaw more corporate mergers than Ronald Reagan? But we Wikimedia Commons digress. The point is he has been soundly chastised for not telling the truth. So this week he apparently saw the error of his ways and decided to start telling the truth. Problem is, he started with Obamacare. While out on the road supposedly to drum up votes for Hillary in Michigan, hubby Bill drank some truth serum and blasted Obamacare as the craziest, worst thing he’s ever seen, noting that it didn’t create anything like universal affordable coverage but rather drove up costs for crappier coverage while being really hard on small business owners. Finally Bill says what he really means. Problem is, his wife is running on the “Obama is a deity” ticket and has embraced the current president’s signature health care achievement as the most important legislation since social security. Now, we all know she has a powerful political reason for doing so that has nothing to do with health care, but you would think she would have shared that little piece of political manipulation with her future First Lady... uh, man. Poor Bill. He just can’t win no matter what he says these days. Bill’s blunder could really have hurt Hillary’s election bid if she wasn’t running against a bat-shit crazy, racist, reality TV star whose favorite movie is the first half of the Stepford Wives.

‘DENVER POST’ MAKES THE NEWS

It’s a bit odd, but the Denver Post has found itself as the subject of a lot of news stories of late. Westword did a nice piece describing the long history of the Post as it has transformed itself from important journalistic venture into its current incarnation as an increasingly pale donor to its current blood-sucking ownership. Westword asked the question: Can the Post survive its current ownership? It’s a good question considering the distressed-property-buying hedge fund that owns the paper has gutted the newsroom by more than 30 percent in just the past year in order to maintain its current level of profits, which are said to be quite high. Denver magazine 5280 also did a large piece on the Post this month describing how the paper’s reporters are required to file many stories a day while also tweeting Wikimedia Commons and monitoring their online pageviews so they know which kind of stories they should be writing. Not kidding. The 5280 story described how the Post’s breaking news feed is more often filled with food stories and crap rewrites of press releases than actual news these days. Which raises a different question than the one Westword asked. Instead of will the Post survive, the question should be will it make any difference when the Post goes away? On the one hand, the answer is yes. It will matter greatly to the excellent, hard-working journalists at the Post who are doing their best to produce good work under insanely difficult circumstances. But as it stands now, the Post’s owner, publisher and its editorial pages have already sold out to the oil and gas industry and other powerful corporate forces. So what good is a paper we can’t trust to look out for anything but its own bottom line? None at all. BW would like to join with the journalists at the Denver Post in calling for the current ownership to sell the paper to a new local owner who will reinvigorate the newsroom and fire the current management scumbags who have destroyed a once-great paper in exchange for their oversized paychecks. 60 October 6, 2016
