Highroad Walling them out, or walling us in? by Jim Hightower

hree Guatemalans waited ’til dusk to make their move. Evading security cameras in the remote expanse along the U.S. border, they slipped illicitly into our country. As the New York Times recently reported, “This area is a haven for smugglers and cross-border criminal organizations.” If Donald Trump were to witness such a scene, his hair would burst into flames and he’d rant so furi-

ously his lungs would explode! But The Donald will never see this scene or even know about it, because he’s facing south, fulminating against Mexicans and assuring his faithful followers that he’ll stop illegal entry into the U.S. by building a “beautiful, impenetrable wall” across our 2,000-mile border with Mexico. Meanwhile, the scene described by the New York Times took place way up north, where rural Vermont connects to Canada. With so many of our nation’s political and security officials obsessed with the southern border, more and more criminal action — including smuggling people, drugs and weapons — has been coming across our 5,500mile Canadian border, the longest in the world between two countries. Running from the Atlantic to the Pacific through sparsely populated and heavily wooded terrain, there’s often no clear demarcation of where Canada ends and the U.S. begins. Some farms,

homes and businesses actually sprawl across the border. Meanwhile, only about 2,000 agents patrol this vast stretch, and officials concede they don’t even have a good guess of how many people and how much contraband is coming across, or where. So Mr. Trump, shall we wall off Canada, too? And how much of our public treasury, democratic idealism and international goodwill shall we dump into the folly of militarizing both borders? By simply thinking we can wall the world out, we’ll be walling ourselves in — and that’s suicidal. This opinion column does not necessarily reflect the views of Boulder Weekly. November 3, 2016 5

TAXES AREN’T HEALTHY FOR BOULDER:

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

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

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

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

a 55 percent super-majority of voters in order to adopt the proposed change to the Colorado Constitution. These Amendment 71 requirements would make it prohibitively expensive for all but the wealthiest proponents to place initiatives on the ballot. It’s notable that the Amendment 71 campaign did not even abide by the rules it attempts to impose on others, i.e., they failed to gather signatures on their ballot initiative petitions from 2 percent of every senate district. Over 60 diverse organizations — including the Denver Republican and Democratic Parties, the Libertarian Party of Colorado and Generation Latino, the AFL-CIO and Greenpeace — are all opposed to Amendment 71. So are several members of our state house, Congress, and leaders of our local governments, as well as several local papers, including the Denver Post, the Aurora Sentinel and the Greeley Tribune. Corporate and wealthy industry front groups such as Americans for Prosperity, Protect Colorado, Coloradans for Responsible Energy Development (CRED), Vital for Colorado, and Colorado Concern — funded by oil and gas companies like Anadarko Petroleum and Noble Energy Company and tycoons like the Koch brothers — are working to gain control of our democracy and undermine grass-

roots access from every angle imaginable. They employ sophisticated PR campaigns, direct campaign contributions to candidates, spend a fortune on paid advertising and lobbying, and intimidate journalists. They’ve paid for the harassment of petition gatherers of ballot initiatives they opposed, and even actively work to take over local city councils in order to prevent fracking bans and moratoria (according to CRED’s 2015 IOGCC presentation). Funding and promoting Amendment 71 — a ballot initiative to prevent grassroots access to future ballot initiatives — is the latest assault on our democracy. The access that money provides these wealthy elites already has a toxic effect on a true “by the people, for the people” democracy, making it increasingly difficult for the people’s voices to be heard and fairly represented. Protect our health, safety and our democracy. Don’t let wealthy special interests cripple Colorado’s only remaining tool for direct democracy. Vote no on Amendment 71. Tricia Olson is Executive Director for the Yes for Health and Safety over Fracking. T.R. Reid is an internationally known health care journalist, author and documentary filmmaker and a spokesperson for ColoradoCareYES.

fellow Democrats who he saw as too friendly to rich donors. “He was the radical inside the system,” said Duane Peterson, a top Hayden advisor in Sacramento. Nevertheless, he managed to pass over 100 measures. He was named legislator of the year and given similar recognitions by college student lobbyists, environmentalists, civil rights groups and animal welfare advocates. He left office in 2000 when he was term-limited. After that, he was active as a writer, speaker, organizer and parttime teacher at several colleges. He helped organize opposition to the war in Iraq. Hayden was an Advisory Board Member of Progressive Democrats of America which played an important role in urging Bernie Sanders to run for president. Hayden said Sanders had the potential to “legitimize democratic socialist measures, and leave an indeli-

ble mark on our frozen political culture.” But in April he reversed himself and endorsed Clinton, arguing that Sanders was unlikely to win and that it was essential to build a united front against Trumpian proto-fascism. He said, “I’m worried that terrible friction is brewing between the two Democratic camps (Clinton and Sanders).” I shared his concerns but felt Sanders should continue his campaign until the Democratic National Convention in order to build progressive strength in the party. Hayden was both hopeful and concerned about a Clinton presidency. He wanted the successes of Bernie Sanders to be the basis for “a permanent progressive force.” I wish Hayden was still around for our coming battles.

letters BW’s Inexplicable Presidential Endorsement

Thanks for the article “The New Harvest of Rage,” by Joel Dyer in the October 27, 2016 edition of BW. Unfortunately, I must agree with Dyer’s prognosis that our rigged election system will feed the rage of voters for the foreseeable future. Dyer wrote, “We have given [our democracy] away as the result of our apathy and our inexplicable willingness to vote for the lesser of two evils out of fear.” In the presidential race BW itself inexplicably endorsed the lesser evil of the Democratic and Republican presidential candidates, even though Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein would fight new oil/gas wells and pipelines, reduce income inequality with fairer taxation and higher workers’ wages, fight corporate trade deals like the TPP, work for single-payer health care, get corporate money out of our elections, slash the country’s obscene spending on war and weapons of mass destruction, reform our inhumane and over-used prison system, etc. But the power of our election system to get people to vote contrary to their best interests is not really so inexplicable. George Washington understood that a two-party system is inherently a “frightful despotism,” and wrote in his farewell address to the nation in 1796, “the common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it.” I am outraged that after 220 years of attempting to restrain our two-party system, Democratic and Republican Party control of government is stronger than ever. Hillary Clinton said in a presidential primary debate this spring that the two-party system “needs to be strengthened” to fix Congress. That is when she lost my vote. Harry Hempy/Jamestown

Polis lack of endorsement

Boulder Weekly’s non-endorsement of Congressman Jared Polis should not go unnoticed. Despite its acknowledgement of Mr. Polis’ good deeds, the Weekly pointed to the congressman’s worrisome position on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) as a major factor why he was not endorsed. It seems Weekly editors understand the good things Mr. Polis supports will be seriously compromised if the U.S. Congress ratifies the TPP. The TPP empowers corporations from 12 Pacific Rim member nations to sue member governments over the very clean air and Boulder Weekly

water standards, fracking regulations, green jobs programs and carbon taxes candidate Polis talks about. International tribunals set up under the TPP will have the power to invalidate national, state and local laws that are “inconsistent” with the agreement. Countries will be forced to repeal public protections — or pay “compensation” to aggrieved corporations. Mr. Polis claims the TPP will lower trade barriers. But, trade isn’t the TPP’s main focus. Only six of the TPP’s 30 chapters address trade issues. Besides, most trade barriers are already gone and the few that remain are low. The agreement’s primary function is to ensure multinational corporations unfettered access to virtually any international investment opportunity free from what they consider to be cumbersome laws, rules and regulations. Another important TPP function is to export U.S.-style patent and copyright laws thereby globalizing the monopoly power of large drug makers, media corporations and software developers like Microsoft and Google. Granting long-term monopoly power to select corporations sure doesn’t sound like “free trade.” The TPP is a colossal corporate power grab. Let Mr. Polis know he can’t have it both ways. He can’t claim to support some good things and then vote to let powerful corporations run roughshod over domestic policies, the democratic process and most of his own constituents.

Mr. Dyer well pre-empted my latest contribution (not used) in the October 27 issue. (See page 12.) I liked the metaphor of the funnel [Re: “The new harvest of rage,” Oct. 27]. There is one aspect of the 2016 national election I have yet to see addressed in any responsible way: What happens if Trump wins? I envision in that event a scramble to realign and suck up big-time, among party “regulars” who shrugged or shirked or shunned the candidate while we were learning what a freaking jerk he really is. In order to be back on the “inside” many would probably wish to do the “master’s” bidding in spades. Where might that lead? Can you say, NSDAP (Nazi Party) II? Don’t dismiss that so quickly.

agenda as hard as it needs to be pushed, poses a nightmarish danger for all of us. Make America great [again]. As compared to what? Does it strike anyone else as odd that The Donald’s supporters are apparently out of jobs, out of luck, out of largesse, etc., and that these government haters appear to aim to force government to help them in many ways? They may use it, but based on past evidence, they would not yet like it. In other words, our government would become disposable to them. Remember: Most of these folks pack heat. Lots of it. And I thought raid was an insecticide. Gregory Iwan/Longmont

Do not take the bait on this ill-conceived extortionist scheme. The money to fix roads is already available in the Boulder County budget. The allocation of funds has simply been reprioritized and road maintenance funds have been diverted to discretionary projects. Prior to 1995 when road maintenance was “redefined,” 9 percent of property tax revenue was allocated for road maintenance. By 2012, allocation had dwindled to a meager 1 percent. The County Commissioners have a fiduciary duty to fund core services. I realize that the mistake was initiated back in the 1990s, when the road maintenance “redefinition” plot was hatched. But upon learning about the problem, there was only one correct response: Make it right. Instead, the Commissioners have marched in lockstep, arrogantly refusing to allocate funds to maintain basic infrastructure. Additionally, their recent shenanigans aimed at inappropriately rezoning the Twin Lakes parcels — against the valid concerns and intense protests of Gunbarrel residents — has poured salt in the wound. No wonder why residents of unincorporated areas are incensed by this failure of leadership. Yet the ballot offers difficult choices. Republican candidate Paul Danish served on the Commission during the 1990s. He now admits the mistake and supports full funding for roads. Great, but his platform positions on important local issues are a mixed bag. I have listened to Danish speak at Longmont city council meetings in opposition to more stringent oil and gas regulations. Alarming. He supports GMO crops on open space, which requires the attendant use of Monsanto’s herbicide Roundup — a complex issue that deserves intense scrutiny. Vote your conscience and then

Just say no to 71

Thank you to Boulder Weekly and Representative Jared Polis for your passionate advocacy for a no vote on amendment 71. Amendment 71 is an anti-democratic proposal that would lessen the power that citizens have over our political process. Only roughly half the states in the country have a ballot initiative process, and we’re lucky that Colorado is one of those states. Running a ballot initiative campaign is very expensive and time-consuming, but that effort is worth it to be able to directly change state law by way of amending the Constitution. This “direct democracy” allows for each and every one of us to have political power. In an era of social media and rapid information proliferation, such a process makes a lot of sense. Amendment 71 would make it significantly harder for citizens to change the law, by mandating a 55 percent approval plus broader geographical support to even get a question on the ballot, with 2 percent of voters needed from every county in the state. If 71 had been the law of the land four years ago, marijuana legalization would have narrowly lost. How does this make sense? It doesn’t. Please vote no on 71. Adam Hurter/Boulder

Break free of fear

To all those who will vote for Hillary because Trump is so bad: He is. He’s horrible, but the thing is, why is it even close? Remember, Tim Daschle (D) could have stopped the war but allowed Bush his escapades. Remember also, the Democrats stalled for years on climate chaos. Also, they could have stopped the Bush tax cuts to the wealthy. And, they were impotent against horrendous Republican voting records. All this, because they didn’t want to upset their corporate sponsors. Democrats, now with Hillary, have repugnantly turned off many. The Democrats are weak and as we saw recently with the DNC emails, clearly they are corrupt. And if you are holding out because of the Supreme Court, I was reminded of a little fact: That these Republican Justices — Scalia, Thomas, Alito and Roberts — all were allowed by the Democrats. They failed to use the filibuster, as the Republicans know so well, to stop these appointments. So there’s no guarantee. Boulder Weekly

letters Plus, recall the values contributed by healthy third parties. If it weren’t for Sanders competition Hillary would probably still be for the TPP. And, thanks to Jill Stein for helping put pressure on Hillary by pointing out her flirting with the real possibility of nuclear war. This information is equipping us to make Hillary a better candidate. Realize, the real threat will come in 2020 when we will get the same inner Trump but a slick-coated exterior in the form of Paul Ryan. Jill Stein has the numbers to actually flip the votes, not split them. This is the best year ever to break free and vote your conscience, so that next cycle they’ll get federal funding for doing so well now. James Duncan/Boulder

Big Tobacco blowing smoke

Big Tobacco knows that if people smoke one less cigarette a day they will lose billions of dollars. So it is no surprise that out of state tobacco companies are spending more than $16 million dollars here (more than the casinos spent keeping racetrack betting in Colorado) to try to defeat Amendment 72 through a barrage of negative and misleading ads. Ten years ago, Judge Gladys Kessler ruled that 10 tobacco industry defendants had violated civil racketeering laws due to decades-long, industry-wide conspiracy to deceive the American public about the harmful effects of tobacco use and their knowledge of those dangers. Has the industry changed? Big Tobacco has a history of fighting any legislation that will affect their profits. They have poured millions into opposing local and statewide restrictions on smoking in public places and workplaces like the one that passed in Boulder in 1995, and laws restricting sales of cigarettes to youth. They have opposed every attempt to raise the cigarette tax in Colorado since 1990. Amendment 72 will help lowincome populations quit smoking at a rate four times greater than higher income populations because they are more price sensitive. In addition, some of the crafters of Amendment 72 from Children’s Hospital Colorado, National Jewish, American Heart, and the Lung and Cancer Associations made sure that the tax revenue would be reinvested in the communities most impacted by smoking particularly in medically underserved areas in the amount of $34 million. Amendment 72 will also invest in teen mental health at $34 million, veteran services at $48 million, as well as medical research into smoking-related diseases at $92 million. Do you think Big Tobacco cares about targeting low-income populaBoulder Weekly

tions? According to their internal documents an executive with R.J. Reynolds said, “We don’t smoke that S&*$#. We just sell it. We reserve the right to smoke for the young, the poor, the black and stupid.” Big Tobacco spends $134 million in Colorado each year to market a product that when used as intended causes disease and death. Amendment 72 will help counter Big Tobacco’s efforts and will more than double the amount of funding for Colorado’s tobacco-prevention and cessation program, which are the levels recommended by the Center for Disease Control. I urge you to vote yes on 72 and help us beat Big Tobacco. Visit HealthyCO2016.com to get the facts you will not hear from Big Tobacco. Pete Bialick, President Group to Alleviate Smoking Pollution

Observations on letters supporting Amendment 69

Having read several letters in the opinion sections of local papers recently touting the benefits of Amendment 69, two things become apparent. That, if passed, according to supporters Amendment 69 will create a healthcare utopia in Colorado and that the funding mechanism is not something to be mentioned in any editorial correspondence. This holds true in James A. Mischke’s recent letter in the Weekly dated Aug. 25, 2016 in which he outlines all the possible benefits but neglects to mention how it is to be funded. Could it be that the funding of this proposal is of little significance to citizens and they shouldn’t be concerned with such pesky details? Maybe it is something that slips the minds of the proposal’s supporters? Or is it possible that it is a deliberate attempt to omit something that’s so unpleasant many people will not support the idea if they know the true cost of this proposal. After all, a 10 percent tax on all Colorado state income is no small detail, especially when it applies to every type of income, including, but not limited to: earned income, interest, capital gains, dividends, rental, business, farm, Social Security benefits, pensions and annuities with some age and amount exemptions for the last three categories. There is no exemption for seniors on Medicare. Proponents argue seniors should feel good about contributing to such a noble cause. If you are going to advocate for something it might be taken more seriously if you presented the complete picture instead of omitting half of the equation. As Mr. Mischke warns us at see LETTERS Page 12

Give third parties a chance

Our government, is dominated by two political parties. The problems we have today will not be solved by sending more of them to Washington. Let’s hire a third party team, Libertarians Gary Johnson and Bill Weld, to resolve problems with liberty principles. Every four years individuals running for chief executive promise to bring the change we all know we need, but what do we get? More of the same! Consider the evidence: The last period of peace and prosperity we had was in the late 1950s. Since then our national debt went from $286 billion in 1960, to over 19 trillion today. For over 60 years we’ve been continuously at war, even today we’re bombing other countries. Our economy is down the drain yet we keep sending the same corrupt two-party monopoly back to DC. The wise among us know that you don’t solve problems by applying more of the same things that caused the problems in the first place. The only way to shake free from the stranglehold of the two-party monopoly is to bring in a new perspective. Governors Johnson and Weld are competent and honest statesmen. Please consider giving them a chance to tackle the problems of the nation. If we don’t like their work, we can always replace them in four years with a Democrat or Republican. Jane Kenny/Bluffton, South Carolina

Atrophy, then entropy

If the media, now being regularly bullied by D. Trump’s minions and supporters, are not over-sensationalizing, then this year’s presidential election may be the last in the USA, at least in current “form.” I have long been predicting intimidation, confiscation and worse at polls in numerous places. I foresee challenges in courts all over the land to an election result not “conforming” to the redbaseball-cap crowd’s emphasis of “my way or the highway.” I foresee a refusal on the part of The Donald to concede, and a huge clash regarding the Electoral College. Or a restart — intimidation, etc. Finally my forecast is for at least a disruption of the inauguration next January 20. The unbalanced and weak-minded who will not any longer ally themselves with civility and civil authority, will not accept a legitimate opportunity to offer an alternative point of view and so deny legitimacy for everyone

and everything else, and who will not abide by the law while claiming they can and will “Make America Great Again” only fool themselves. On October 18 in Boulder some of these automatons openly stated that The Donald’s opponent “started” ISIS, or at least is likely a member of thegroup. I hope the fire department is on hand at future Nuremberg rallies, to attend to all the pants on fire. The political landscape is no longer flawed or dysfunctional — it is dangerously skewed, fraught with myopic dangers, and closer to chaos than it was even in 1968, with the Chicago riots, the RFK murder, the assassination of Martin Luther King, and the Vietnam war. We lost a great deal then, but survived. But only the National Guard pulled triggers at Kent State. This time, I fear, just might be different — and worse. If sense cannot be restored, maybe the GOP needs to get a [different] horse. And fast. Gregory Iwan/Longmont

Vote Trump

First, we were told NAFTA will create jobs in America. Huffington Post reported: “Such outcomes include a staggering $181 billion U.S. trade deficit with NAFTA partners Mexico and Canada and the related loss of 1 million net U.S. jobs under NAFTA.” Now the WikiLeaks email confirms it. Clinton said, “My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders.” That’s TPP. Competing against 17 countries with slave labor, devalued currency, and no government regulations will cost what few jobs we have. The emails, published by WikiLeaks after a hack of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s private account, also show Clinton campaign officials and Democratic leaders disparaging supporters of Sen. Bernard Sanders as “self-righteous” whiners, calling Hispanic party leaders such as Bill Richardson “needy Latinos.” It’s very simple. If you want term limits on politicians, lower taxes, JOBS, to stop drug epidemics, stop 20 Veteran suicides a day while they wait on VA appointments, a voice in your country, stop lobbyists, foreign money in our politics, Vote Trump. Otherwise, we continue the handouts, bad trade deals, open borders for drug traffickers, terrorism to our cities and genocide to Christians worldwide to include our freedom of speech. Oh, and continued higher taxes, regulations, non-vetting of refugees, dishonesty and national debt rising. Mike Martino/via email Boulder Weekly

ometime in mid-2011, Boulder-based negotiations specialist William Ury flew to Bogotá at the request of Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos. There in the capital city, high above the country in the Colombian Andes, Santos asked Ury for his help; the time had come to end the nation’s halfcentury-old civil war. That day Ury became a member of President Santos’ “kitchen cabinet” of peacemakers, a group of advisers from around the world with experience in negotiation and conflict resolution. Ury says he made as many as 25 trips to Colombia over the next five years, meeting with Santos and his advisers, and eventually with leaders of the nation’s largest rebel force, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). “There was a secret phase of the process in which only a handful of people knew ... because in the beginning the president needed to make sure the FARC were serious before he could put his political weight behind it,” Ury says. Secrecy, Ury adds, meant absolute confidentiality, even from other branches of the Colombian government. A helicopter was hired to carry a member of President Santos’ team into FARC territory deep in the Colombian jungle. Within moments of landing, the chopper was surrounded by hundreds of AK-47-toting rebels who, with history on their side, were suspicious of the government’s motives. Ury — who was not on the helicopter — says the president’s envoy (someone he refers to as a friend) knew the chopper provided no protection from the bullets, so he stepped out and spoke to the FARC commander, physician Mauricio Jaramillo (a nom de guerre), also known as El Médico. There, with hundreds of guns pointed at his head, the diplomat told Jaramillo that he was now under the personal protection of President Santos. Jaramillio got into the helicopter and became a negotiator in the peace talks. “We trained the negotiators in that process to arrive at the framework agreement, basically an agenda and ground rules that become the constitution of the process,” Ury says of the early days of the peace talks. That process played out for another four years in the public eye, with government officials, advisers and FARC members meeting in Havana, Cuba, for negotiations. And finally, on Sept. 26, William Ury watched, along with thousands of others, as the Colombian government

and the leaders of FARC signed a peace agreement in the Caribbean city of Cartagena. All that was left was to vote. Santos did not need the approval of the people to make the peace deal, but he wanted the vote to demonstrate the importance of public participation in the process. Everyone knew it would be a landslide victory — a wide, double-digit win. The pollsters had the numbers to prove it; on Oct. 2, the people of Colombia would vote yes to ratify the peace deal, bringing 52 years of civil war to an end. But on Oct. 2, the Colombian people said no. “I don’t think there was anyone who wasn’t shocked, even the people who voted against it,” Ury says. “It wasn’t a question of whether yes was going to win,” he says. “It was whether yes was going to win by twothirds or more.” The margin was slim; only 50.22 percent of voters opted to reject the deal, but it was enough to send shockwaves through a country well acquainted with loss. Since the mid 1960s, more than 220,000 people have lost their lives, most of them civilians, and as many as 5 million have been displaced as a result of Colombia’s civil war. For just enough Colombians, the terms of the deal simply weren’t enough; most rank-and-file rebels who confessed to their crimes would be granted amnesty. Perhaps worse, those who committed war crimes would face reduced sentences. Turnout was abysmally low, exacerbated by holding a

vote when there were no other measures on the ballot. Hurricane Matthew created another obstacle for coastal voters. Former President Álvaro Uriibe led a strong campaign against accepting the peace treaty, and those who sided with his views saw sitting President Santos as weak for capitulating to rebel demands. While President Santos said there was no “plan B,” the ceasefire remained in place while negotiators went back to the drawing board and further negotiations in Havana. It’s clear the no vote isn’t the end of Colombia’s march toward peace. Grassroots organizations have been on the ground in Colombia’s most war-torn areas during the five-year negotiation process, attempting to create infrastructure and jobs in towns that have effectively been held hostage by FARC’s forces for decades. One such organization, One Earth Future (OEF), is headquartered in Broomfield, Colorado. Instead of trying to achieve mandates as an institution thousands of miles away, OEF works as an incubator for grassroots coalitions around the world, providing financial support to programs like PASO Colombia (Paz Sostenible para Colombia, translated as Sustainable Peace for Colombia). Ury, deeply involved in the peace negotiations, began to encourage OEF founder Marcel Arsenault to invest in Colombia. “The root conditions of conflict — economic and Boulder Weekly

social and so on — [mean] we can’t think of this in terms of there’s an agreement or there’s no agreement, or a yes or no,” Ury says. “This is a 20-year process we’re in. Wars don’t end on a dime and countries are not transformed on a dime. PASO Colombia is a very small program compared to the challenge, but ... I really think One Earth Future has the philosophy and resources to go in for 30 years. You can’t have philanthropy that goes in for a year or two years or even three years, which is what most philanthropy does. You have to take a 30-year perspective when you’re talking about recovering from trauma so deep, both material and psychological, as a 52-year civil war.” And Ury wasn’t the only one violence, the people being killed,” Lucio says. urging Arsenault to look toward Lucio started studying conflict sometime PASO Colombia Colombia for the future of peacearound 2008, eventually working with a company holds workshops in conflict-stricken building.

conflict had been occurring for the last 50 years, and we started speaking with fishing communities, people within administration, within institutions.” And what they found was that these people — those most affected by decades of brutal conflict, victims of extortion, kidnappings and murder, many living in poverty — wanted peace, not retribution. PASO held workshops in these conflict stricken areas, asking people to come and answer one question: What does peace mean to them? But they didn’t limit the conversations to words. “The first workshop we did, people would talk ... and in speaking, you have the more outspoken people get heard. So we started to experiment with having people draw their feelings, their ideas about peace,” Lucio says. “We’re talking about 250 people, 500 people, getting together for two-and-a-half hours to draw. You have 250 people in silence drawing. We think drawing created a more relaxed atmosphere, more about sharing a moment with people. The material and the information we get from drawing, it’s more concrete.” In terms of concrete actions, PASO Colombia has helped the town of Buga, northeast of Cali, secure permits and extra financing to build a 2,600-gallon milk storage facility. The chilled milk will give local dairy farmers a better price for their product. The group is also working to build sustainable fishing in Buenaventura, a coastal port city in the department of Valle del Cauca on the Pacific side of Colombia, and a Shared Resources Program focused on sustainable mining in Antioquia, the department where the famed city of Medellín is located. While Lucio, Lederarch and Ury all see the no vote as a setback, none of them believes that civil war will resume in Colombia. “I met with FARC leaders while I was down there; they’re not in any kind of mood to go back to war,” Ury says. “I think there’s a feeling that enough is enough.” Many of the communities that voted against accepting the treaty were middle class urban areas, people who had not known the brutality of the civil war in more than a decade. “If you’re sitting in a middle class neighborhood, [you’re wondering] who’s going to pay for the peace process?” Ury says, adding that many Colombians find the idea of FARC members reentering communities and even the political sphere abhorrent. “But,” he says, “What’s democracy but essentially exchanging the bullet for the ballot?” November 3, 2016 15

news WikiLeaks appears to expose Clinton’s real position on DAPL Podesta emails describe what the Democratic nominee promised unions in private

By Joel Dyer

emocratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s silence on the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) and its accompanying protests has been deafening for months. Thousands of Native Americans along with environmental activists from across the nation and around the world have been attempting to stop the construction of this 1,172-mile-long, $3.78 billion pipeline project ever since the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issued the project a “fast track” permit in July of this year. The permit allows for the pipeline to run under the Missouri River just north of the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, which belongs to the Hunkpapa Lakota and Yanktonai Dakota people. The protestors, who refer to themselves as “water protectors,” believe that the pipeline is a serious threat to the reservation’s water supply. For the past five months, the tribes, water protectors and environmental groups have been TOLD asking Clinton to THE BUILDING TRADES take a position on THAT SHE DOES NOT the controversial OPPOSE PIPELINES ... SHE pipeline, preferably COMMITTED TO NOT MAKa position against it. They have even ING PIPELINE BY PIPELINE gone so far as to DECISIONS...” take over Clinton’s — NIKKI BUDZINSKI, THE campaign headCLINTON CAMPAIGN’S quarters. Despite LABOR OUTREACH this growing outDIRECTOR cry, Clinton remained silent, until last week. Following a violent October 27 confrontation between law enforcement and protestors wherein 141 people were arrested after being pepper-sprayed, shot with bean bags and blasted with high-powered water hoses, the Clinton campaign finally released a statement. It read, “We received a letter today from representatives of the tribes protesting the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline. From the beginning of this campaign, Secretary Clinton has been clear that she thinks all voices should be heard and all views considered in federal infrastructure projects. Now, all of the parties involved — including the federal government, the pipeline company and contractors, the state of North Dakota, and the tribes — need to find a path forward that serves the broadest public interest. As that happens, it’s important that on the ground in North

Dakota, everyone respects demonstrators’ rights to protest peacefully, and workers’ rights to do their jobs safely.” It’s safe to say Clinton’s DAPL statement fell far short of offering the support the tribes had hoped for and left many wondering why Clinton, who often touts her commitment to the environment and the fight against global warming, continues to waffle on DAPL. But there is likely a reason for her pipeline waffling and it can be found in the recent WikiLeaks dump of emails claimed to be from the account of John Podesta, Clinton’s campaign manager. According to these Podesta emails, Clinton made a questionable decision to oppose Kinder Morgan’s proposed Northeast Energy Direct (NED) pipeline just prior to the New Hampshire primary. If built, the NED pipeline would transport natural gas some 400 miles through New Hampshire and Massachusetts and it has become a point of contention for New Hampshire residents. Her primary opponent, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, was strong in his opposition to its construction. So Clinton, who was trailing Sanders badly in polls leading up to the primary, was apparently feeling the pressure to convert to Sanders’ position. In a move that clearly took her campaign managers and aides by surprise, Clinton responded to a question from a young voter on a rope line by saying she did not support the NED pipeline. Her answer went national and that’s when the manure hit the fan for Nikki Budzinski, the Clinton campaign’s Labor Outreach Director. According to the emails, Budzinski contacted Podesta, Huma (presumably Abedin) and Robby (presumably Mook) with the following warning on February 9, 2016: “I wanted to loop us all together on feedback I’ve received from the Building Trades, specifically LIUNA [Laborers’ International Union of North America], with the news yesterday that HRC [Hillary Rodham Clinton] is opposing the NED pipeline in New Hampshire. They are very upset. I expect to hear from the UA [United Association] and IUOE [International Union of Operating Engineers] soon. President O’Sullivan has cancelled his trip to Las Vegas for our strategic planning meeting on Friday and has cancelled his member canvass and rally on Saturday in Las Vegas as well. I reached out this morning offering to have HRC stop by the canvass and meet privately with Terry, and that did not change the situation.” The email chain makes it clear that the trade unions were very angry over Clinton saying she opposed the NED Pipeline, but why so angry? They

apparently had good reason. The emails go on to explain the motive for the union’s decision to pull its support. “She has privately told the building trades that she does not oppose pipelines. Can we outline instances where a pipeline would have her support? Please note (as you know) the pipeline issue will not go away as they run through many March primary states (Ohio and Virginia, to name two). They are also concerned that she committed to not making pipeline by pipeline decisions and it now appears she is breaking to pressure and doing just that.” It’s fair to say that Clinton would have had a hard time defeating Sanders for the nomination without the support and endorsement of the trade unions. The Podesta emails further illustrate the union’s influence over Clinton’s oil and gas pipeline positions. In an effort to regain union support following Clinton’s NED statement in New Hampshire and the campaign’s belief that it would likely have to take a position against the Keystone XL pipeline for political reasons at some point in the future, the Clinton team went to work on drafting the candidate’s energy platform. They made no secret that making her platform pipeline and oil and gas infrastructure friendly was for the benefit of the unions and therefore a top priority. The emails describe seven specific points ranging from the creation of “a national infrastructure bank” to a commitment to “modernizing our pipeline system,” which the Clinton camp hoped would please the trade unions and thereby garner their continued support for their candidate. The platform was also long on praise for natural gas development, which the unions had also desired according to the emails. The WikiLeaks emails explain why Clinton was so careful to say that all voices including “contractors” must be heard in the DAPL dispute and that it’s important that everyone respects “workers’ rights to do their jobs safely.” Clinton, a politician long known for making her decisions based on political expediency over personal beliefs, is stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to the escalating violence being rained down upon DAPL protestors. With less than a week until the general election against Republican nominee Donald Trump, Clinton and her team likely believe they can’t afford to anger the unions whose rank and file members are key to the Democratic ground game. This is particularly true now that the race has tightened due to the latest Clinton/ Weiner email scandal. In addition to the trade union pressure on pipelines, Food and Water Watch has reported that the big banks, many of which have bankrolled the Clinton campaign, have put up more than $10 billion for future pipeline construction, including much of the $3.78 billion being used to build DAPL. All things considered in light of the Podesta emails released by WikiLeaks, Clinton’s previous silence on DAPL and her recent positionless public statement on the situation in North Dakota are actually a clear indication of her true position on the construction of future pipelines in the U.S. It appears she will support them; just as she promised the unions she would do when behind closed doors.

THE CURATION OF DISCOVERY: PART 4 by Rico Moore This week’s final serialized installment of “The curation of discovery” deals with not only the discovery and curation of the Mahaffy Cache, a collection of 86, reportedly 13,000-year-old artifacts currently on display at the CU Museum of Natural History, but also the history of Native American people and their importance to filling in the many gaps in our understanding of U.S. history via their oral histories. To read this series from the beginning. go to boulderweekly.com/news/thecuration-of-discovery/.

Cache/Artifact/Element: Roger Echo-Hawk and Douglas Bamforth, Continued

ne of the things I spend a lot of time thinking about,” Roger Echo-Hawk says, “Is the transmission of information over long time periods. I can’t say there is a field of study that really addresses this topic in an organized, systematic way that has evolved over time. My thinking is sort of idiosyncratic on this issue, rather than a result of the sort of thing an archaeologist does, which is within a community; in which you put ideas out, there is critique of those ideas, and an evolution takes place that you hope is an improvement.” Our conversation is taking place at a coffeehouse in downtown Longmont on a cold winter night. I am meeting with both ancient historian Roger EchoHawk and Douglas Bamforth, the CU archaeologist who was also the principal investigator of the Mahaffy Cache. Echo-Hawk’s area of scholarship, ancient history, and his vision for a community of scholars within this realm, opens up possibilities into understanding the history and nature of humanity in this place — in what it means to be human here in the Boulder Valley. Specifically, this area of scholarship could be engaged to determine the Mahaffy Cache’s meaning in its yet unknown and unspoken insights. The stories that we tell about the past, in large part, create our culture. In this way, they create our future. The ancient stories that were born here live within us still. The formal coalescence of oral literature and archaeology will create a future more culturally rich. Echo-Hawk has written about the need for integrating Ancient oral literature and the Boulder Weekly

archaeological record. “I don’t think that people manufactured these things by not saying anything to each other,” Echo-Hawk says, remarking that the people who made the elements of the Mahaffy Cache talked about how and why they were making things in this way. As a result, he argues, the technology of the artifacts represents a kind of oral literature, as communication about them would have driven their idiosyncratic design; similar perhaps to the develop- Linda Echo-Hawk ment of technology today. My interpretation of the implications of Echo-Hawk’s arguments is that these elements represent stories that are still speaking and being spoken. Conversations like Echo-Hawk mentions are still being had. Determining who is having those conversations requires deep listening and nuanced parsing. The implication is that the life of story is deeply ancient, has traveled on currents of voice and breath into today, and is therefore interwoven, as river currents with the air we breathe. I find it to be accurate and correct to consider oral literature as historical; equivocal to written literature. In this way, the elements that emerge as most durable are breath, voice and story, which are apparently of the most fragile things. As heartbeats heard and learned in the womb, stories spoken between people continue. The heartbeats and stories of the ancient Native Americans that made the artifacts of the Mahaffy Cache are still speaking; still pulsing. Echo-Hawk’s scholarship awakens these facts. Living words are etched into the elements of the so-called Mahaffy Cache that are suspended behind glass at the CU Museum. Information, traveling through time from person to person, changing all the while, is indicated by the presence of cultural elements like those flecked stones. Such a hermeneutic awakens in us etched tones that speak in our own voices of what it means to be human and here. In order for the essence of the information to be meaningful, memo-

rable and so communicable, it must find a site of reception. It must correspond. In this correspondence, it bears the mark of idiosyncrasy for the residual remnants of its context. As such, it’s distinguished in this moment from any other moment while being wholly of this moment. It is a paradox of polar opposites that cause the whole to spin in its orbit. Its frictionless flight is a motionless motion. This paradox is the fundamental nature of reality, in which

individuals exist in a place. Each has their, her or his own ineluctable perspective, which is ever so slightly different from anyone else’s. A diverse equality is the nature of reality and we must synchronize ourselves with reality if we should want to stay here. In this way, the hierarchies that form the bases of cultural narratives of oppression and inequity dissolve. Echo-Hawk continues, speaking towards his thoughts on oral literature in deep time: “This technology — these lithic materials — have a long record of usage, and in my mind, that is a useful way to get at the idea of the transmission of concurrent information.” As such, he argues, pieces of information from distant and differing points of time and space coalesce by virtue of their Baudelairean correspondance. Echo-Hawk speaks about the kind of information that can travel through from deep time and how this occurs. He speaks to the fact that the technological information inscribed on the elements would be changing all the time. As he speaks, I sense the formation of a whole new field of research in academia, along with the creation of affiliations like the

one John Echohawk, executive director of the Native American Rights Fund in Boulder, mentions, that will reach back further, more diversely and more cohesively into deep time by amplifying ancient historians, and Native American Tribal descendants. I see it as part of an interdisciplinary, culturally diverse weave entering the room with Echo-Hawk’s speech. “It is to ask,” Echo-Hawk says, “What kind of windows can we find to glimpse the minds of the people in the past? What are they doing and who are they?” Underlying these questions, Echo-Hawk says, are the reasons we should be looking at oral literature, asking and imagining what kind of information from the ancient past we can gather by systematic and scientific inquiry. Echo-Hawk turns from his discussion to Doug Bamforth, and on the basis of Bamforth’s scientific research asserts, “Without protein residue analysis, [the Cache] could have fit into a site eight-hundred years ago as well as twelve-thousand years ago.” “We haven’t done the kind of work that could really show that,” Bamforth says. “We got a date from the soil above, so they have to be younger than the soil which is about a thousand years old.” In fact, the three radiocarbon dates put the soil above the supposed in situ location of the Cache at about six-hundred-years ago. This discrepancy was pointed out in the CU Museum Exhibit as well. In talking with Pete Birkeland, the geologist consulted on the Mahaffy Cache, I was told that it could not be proven that the ancient soil wasn’t simply dug through, with artifacts being buried much more recently. Bamforth confirmed this. “That’s pretty general” Echo-Hawk says. “Your paper has been out now for a year and you’ve been talking to colleagues. Have you heard criticisms or gotten input that has caused you to rethink things?” To read the rest of The curation of discovery: Part 4, please go to our website at boulderweekly.com November 3, 2016 19

K, so who is ready to go live on Mars? I saw a few hands go up there in the Boulder Weekly readership. Now multiply that across the globe and you’ll have more than enough people to fill up one of Elon Musk’s proposed “Interplanetary Crew Transport” (ICT) vehicles, the primary component of his Interplanetary Transport System (ITS). Now, what the heck is that? On Sept. 26 at the International Astronautical Congress in Guadalajara, Mexico, Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur behind SpaceX and Tesla Motors, laid out his plans for sending, not just a few people, not just hundreds, but thousands and ultimately tens of thousands of people to the Red Planet. OK. So, one, just what is Elon Musk’s plan? And two, will it work? Musk’s ITS plans involve building a fleet of the ICT spaceships. Each of which would be able to carry 450 tons of passengers and cargo to Mars. Each of these craft would be the second stage of a new massive launch system. They would be launched into Earth orbit atop an enormous first stage booster rocket, larger than the Saturn 5 that launched the Apollo astronauts to the moon in the late 1960s and early ’70s. For purposes of comparison, the Saturn 5 weighed

Living on Mars might not be so far off in the future if Elon Musk has any say.

3,039 tons at launch, the new ICT/ booster stack would weigh 10,500 tons. The ICT spaceships would refuel in Earth orbit and then launch to Mars with a prodigious fuel burn that would act to shorten the trip to Mars from the standard six to eight months that current robotic missions take to just three months. Keep in mind that traveling to Mars isn’t like driving from Chicago to Los Angeles. Well, it might be if both Chicago and LA were orbiting around St. Louis. With Earth and Mars orbiting around the sun, traveling from one planet to another involves launching at the right time so that Mars (or the Earth if traveling in the reverse direction) is actually there once the spacecraft reaches its orbital distance from the sun. But back to the Musk/SpaceX plan. The ICT would arrive at Mars and actually be capable of landing on the surface where it would refuel (using propellant derived from the Martian atmosphere and water in the near surface), and head back to Earth orbit to Boulder Weekly

collect another set of passengers and cargo. Musk’s current plans don’t address major issues such as the radiation hazards of the interplanetary flight to Mars, or how the colonists would survive on the harsh surface of Mars. To get a better idea of the viability of the Musk/SpaceX plan, I spoke with Dr. Robert Zubrin, president of Pioneer Astronautics of Lakewood, Colorado and the originator of one of the most widely celebrated Mars mission architectures, the Mars Direct concept (a mission profile that revolutionized thought about how Mars could be reached using largely existing technology and at a reasonable cost). Zubrin has some complimentary things to say about Elon Musk’s plans as well as some pointed criticisms. Zubrin praises the approach that Elon Musk’s SpaceX Corporation has already taken to try to re-use the first stages of their now-operational Falcon 9 rockets. Zubrin says the successfully demonstrated approach of having the Falcon 9 first stages return to land on Earth tail-first under controlled rocket thrust will be adaptable to land SpaceX ICT rockets on Mars. Indeed, SpaceX plans to launch one of their Dragon crew capsules to Mars sans the crew, but with its descent rocket assembly in place in 2020 in order to test land a heavy payload (up to 7 and a half tons) on Mars. If successful, the landing of the “Red Dragon” spacecraft would mark the landing of the heaviest ever spacecraft on the Martian surface. However, Zubrin says, “the real problem of the Musk approach is that it is vision-driven, not mission driven.” He sees the development of the ICT as an interplanetary spaceship as more of a goal than the actual mission of colonizing Mars. Moreover, he says that the use of a giant second stage and burning massive amounts of fuel to shorten the travel time is a detriment, since it reduces the amount of payload that can be taken to Mars by approximately three times. Also, Zubrin notes that by taking the ICT second stage to and from Mars, the Mars colonists would be losing potential living space. After all, “the people will need someplace to live once they get there,” he says, and the Musk plan is short on those details. A better approach in Zubrin’s opinion is to “get out of the giant-interplanetary-spaceship-thought mode” and focus instead on sending “usable cargo instead of giant rockets” to Mars. Capitalize instead on the attractive parts of the plan — use the orbital refueling approach touted by Musk and utilize a Boulder Weekly

to the people of Europe at the time of Columbus. There is value in dreaming big dreams. To quote the poet Robert Browning, “Ah, but a man’s reach should exceed his grasp, Or what’s a heaven for?” soon-to-be-ready rocket, the SpaceX Falcon Heavy booster. The Falcon Heavy will be able to lift 54 tons to Earth orbit. By using on-orbit refueling, and a reusable orbital booster, much of that 54 tons could be sent directly to Mars where it would prove invaluable to

any Mars colonists. While the Interplanetary Transportation System plan of Elon Musk might seem incredible today, the thought of giant ocean liners crossing the Atlantic Ocean, let alone jumbo jet airliners, would have seemed incredible

boulderganic Iraq’s skies darken as ISIS torches oil

With many civilians likely to die in the conflict in Iraq and Syria, the fighting also threatens the environment as ISIS torches oil wells. by Kieran Cooke Wikimedia Commons/Lt. Steve Gozzo USN

ven at the height of the day, the skies in many parts of northern Iraq are dark as the Islamic State (ISIS) torches oil wells and oil-filled defensive trenches in its retreat. Artillery fire and bombing raids by U.S. aircraft and others battling ISIS are also causing conflagrations at oil installations. Aid teams near the town of Qayyarah, about 80 kilometers (50 miles) south of the ISIS stronghold of Mosul, talk of escaping civilians being covered in oil residues. “Everywhere is covered in a fine dusting of black soot and grime,” one aid worker from the Save the Children charity told the BBC. “And the children we met were covered in it — their hands were black, their feet were black and their hair was matted ... they were coming out in rashes, developing problems with their lungs.”

Deliberate pollution There are fears that as ISIS comes under ever greater pressure it will unleash “scorched earth” tactics, setting alight ever more oil wells and deliberately polluting the waters of the Tigris and Euphrates, two of the region’s main rivers, which supply water and power to millions. Setting oil fields alight could also have wider climate-related consequences. During Saddam Hussein’s invasion and subsequent retreat from Kuwait in 1990/91, the Iraqis set alight nearly 800 Kuwaiti oil wells: at one stage — in March 1991 — it was calculated that up to 6 million barrels of oil were being burned each day. The result was daytime darkness and long plumes of black smoke across a wide area of the Gulf. Though the long-term impact of Kuwait’s oil fires

oil production in order to raise more revenues — partly to fund the war against ISIS. But much of the development of Iraq’s fossil fuel resources has been badly planned and mismanaged. The World Bank says that, globally, approximately 140 billion cubic meters (4.9 billion mcf ) of natural gas produced together with oil are burned or flared off each year — adding 350 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere. Iraq is now one of the world’s leading gas-flaring countries: a lack of pipelines and infrastructure means that its gas is mostly burned off. Meanwhile the country has been forced to import large amounts of gas from neighboring Iran in order to meet its energy needs.

The U.S. Department of the Interior released its Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) regarding the Glen Canyon Dam, admitting the dam releases dirty energy via methane emissions. The Glen Canyon Dam blocks the flow of the Colorado River outside of Page, Arizona, creating the second largest man-made reservoir in the U.S., Lake Powell. The Glen Canyon Dam generates an average of 4,000 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of electricity per year, and using the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) greenhouse gas equivalencies calculator, the Glen Canyon Dam emits approximately the same Wikimedia Commons amount of greenhouse gas emissions per year as 193 million cars on the road. However, emissions are not the only problem the dam poses to the environment. Originally intended to collect water and store it in reserve for the dry West, dams like the Glen Canyon Dam contribute to the loss of a combined total of hundreds of billions of gallons of water to evaporation and underground runoff every year. Because of the Glen Canyon Dam, Lake Powell itself loses about 160 billion gallons a year to evaporation and 120 billion gallons to underground runoff. The overuse of the Colorado River and its surrounding river systems, which contribute water to one-eighth of Americans and one-seventh of the crops grown in the U.S., have also contributed to the shrinking of Lake Powell’s water supply, which now only holds about half of the water it can at maximum capacity. — Zach Evens

CSU CONTINUES TO STUDY METHANE LEAKS

As the effects of climate change are increasingly felt around the world, researchers at Colorado State University in Fort Collins are conducting a new study to determine the rate of methane leaking from natural gas gathering compressor stations in the U.S. This Courtesy of Colorado State University follows last year’s study, funded in part by the Environmental Defense Fund, that found methane from natural gas gathering systems accounts for 30 percent of all methane emissions in the U.S. greenhouse gas inventory. Although proponents still claim natural gas can be seen as a “bridge fuel,” research has shown its main component, methane, to be up to 84 times more potent as a warming greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. Methane has been found leaking all across the infrastructure of the natural gas industry, from the pipelines and wells to the storage, processing and distribution centers. The researchers at CSU, along with an engineering firm and industry partners, and with $1.8 million funding from the United States Department of Energy (DOE), will be conducting a 20-26 week long field study on natural gas gathering compressor stations. Gathering compressor stations span the length of natural gas pipelines at intervals of 40-100 miles, and keep natural gas pressurized as it is transported. The goal of the study is to create a national model for methane emissions to be used to test emissions stations and other infrastructure along the natural gas supply line. The study’s results will also be used as reference and a standard for the EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Inventory, a report that tracks emissions in the U.S. by source and economic sector. — Zach Evens

Search and rescue teams need saving too by Emma Murray

26 November 3, 2016

n 1997, Tom Wood sold everything he owned and cruised the long, flat road from The Alpine Rescue Team Ohio to Colorado. He had no job, no place conducts a mission on Mount Bancroft with the to stay — a familiar story to many Colorado Air National Colorado transplants. He only knew one Guard. person in the state. “My goal,” he says, was “to not fall flat.” After a year of working in construction, Wood says, “I came to realize working full time wasn’t cutting it out for me.” Then one day at the library, he came across an ad for an avalanche class. “Shortly after that, I was hooked, and lucky enough to join a search and rescue team,” he says. “And here I am, 18 years later.” In the late ’90s, when Wood first joined, search and rescue “was a lot different,” he says. “I’d heard from folks that PTSD [was something] that only affected soldiers coming back from war, not us. So when I joined, the prevailing attitude dealing with the not-so-happy endings we saw was, ‘Suck it up, buttercup, and if you can’t deal with it, you don’t belong here,’” he says. “The more time I spent on the team, I saw friends leave because of difficulty of coping with the things we had to deal with.” In Colorado, the 45 volunteer-run search and rescue teams are divided along county lines, each one answering to their respective sheriff and responding to emergencies within their zones. The teams supplement other emergency medical services and firefighters, providing free services to anyone in need of backcountry assistance. Wood joined the Alpine Rescue Team, which operates a little differently by providing service to Jefferson, Clear Creek and Gilpin Boulder Weekly

counties along the Front Range. They are also often called to assist other counties throughout the state. The Alpine Rescue Team has about 90 members on its roster, according to Paul Woodward, president of the Colorado Search and Rescue Board. “Across the state we have 1,800 search and rescue calls every year,” he says. “Which is pretty crazy.” Jim Schoettler

A state issue Search and rescue teams respond to all kinds of emergencies — injured hikers, stranded climbers, snow mobile accidents — and carry missions through rain, darkness and sub-zero temperatures to rescue whomever, wherever, or recover the remains of any deceased. Woodward is in charge of tracking Colorado’s rescues and recoveries. “For [the Alpine] team, we average 13 fatalities a year,” he says. He also tracks what people were doing right before their death. “The highest activity is backcountry suicide,” he says. Since officials began recording suicide rates, Colorado has constantly ranked among the top 10 for highest per capita. A perplexing fact considering Colorado also regularly ranks among the happiest states.

Sally Spencer-Thomas, a clinical psychologist and survivor division chair for the American Association for Suicidology, asks, “Why, in such a beautiful state, especially with a lot of sunshine, fitness and education, is this the case?” She can only speculate several reasons: “First, the vast and isolated landscapes in the West create a major sense of separation — in both the geographical and the psychological sense. Geographically, it might be hours to the nearest help facility, and psychologically difficult to reach out and ask for help.” Second, “We have a high per capita gun ownership rate.” Homes with firearms are more likely to commit suicide, “and people often go to remote places with firearms to commit suicide,” she says. Third, “are our funding issues: while we consistently rank top 10 in suicide numbers, we rank among the lowest 10 for funding mental health initiatives.” This includes programs to help search and rescuers as well. One year, Wood’s team was called to aid in eight consecutive recovery missions for backcountry suicide fatalities. After that stretch, Wood says, “A couple people left our team. There was no continuous observation on how we were doing; we’d suffer in silence and wouldn’t get any extra resources for mental health.” The exposure to death took an alarming and lasting toll on Wood’s team. “Even 15 or 20 years later,” he says, “I’d run into them and find out they were still recovering from [a] that mission that was particularly grossly.” Such contact with suicide and death — often gruesome — can be taxing on the minds of volunteer search and rescue members if they’re not properly prepared and cared for afterwards. “These people, the ones in Tom’s work, are overexposed to suicidal behaviors and death,” Spencer-Thomas says. “Emergency medical service people tend to be stoic, strong and brave, doing things the average person probably couldn’t do. But these qualities can work against them too. They are highly unlikely to reach out to mental health care.”

A rough start Jerome Stiller was a rock climber before he ever considered joining a search and rescue team. After realizing that in the event of an accident, he had no idea what to do, “I wanted to learn,” he says, “And honestly, I just thought it was cool as shit.” Stiller became part of the Alpine Rescue Team the same year as Wood. “My first mission,” he recalls, “involved a fatality. I’d only been on the team for one month. The body was still warm when I got to it, [so I see SEARCH AND RESCUE Page 28

knew] it had been alive not too long ago. And I just accepted it, knowing it was our job to do this.” He never recalls anyone ever asking him, “‘Are you OK? Did this impact you at all?’ The culture was simple: This is what we do, actual people die and this is just part of the deal.” Suicide body recovery especially, Stiller says, is dealt with a sort of dark humor. “It’s the only way to deal with it,” Stiller says. Learning how to cope with exposure to suicide and death is important, according to Sometimes search Spencer-Thomas. She’s particularly conand rescue is about saving the day; other cerned that, “The overwhelming majority of times, it’s about givsuicides — 75 percent — are white men of ing grieving families peace of mind. working age. It’s these men that fill the demographics of the first responder.” She says there needs to be extra caution and awareness among search and rescue, and all emergency medical service personnel. “It’s a bit like the chicken and the egg phenomenon,” she adds. “The search and rescue job is attracting those with high risk, while also contributing to these tendencies.” Additionally, she says, “[Search and rescue team members] often have the means to commit suicide. They have courage and might own firearms. They are not afraid of high places. There’s a strong culture of substance abuse — the intensity of their jobs can often lead to post-traumatic stress, and alcohol helps in the short run, but is damaging in the long run.” Stiller resigned from the Alpine Rescue Team in 2007, after a succession of disturbing rescues and mountain-related events. “Now I know you’re allowed to feel bad about it all,” he says. “But back then, I really doubted mountain rescue. I’d ask myself, ‘Are we just doing this to be cool rescue guys?’ These are deep and pervasive issues that have echoed in my life for years, and caused a lot of doubt in my life.” Now Wood acts as the Alpine Rescue Team’s field director. Central to his agenda is mental health and awareness throughout all search and rescue teams. In 2012 he authored Trading Steel for Stone: Tales of a Rustbelt Refugee turned Rocky Mountain Rescuer, a memoir that explores behind-the-scenes of alpine rescue and the intense mental and physical work of its agents. “Today, the huge and enormous change that Tom has evoked [within search and rescue culture] is apparent,” Stiller says. “Tom has taken it on himself to spearhead a movement with all search and rescue communities to be more aware, and to care about the mental health of its members. He’s been successful in starting these conversations about the full effect that rescue takes on their members.” “Now that we know a little better, when we have new members on our search and rescue team, we warn them that that’s a part of what we do,” Wood says. “It’s not all hanging from helicopters and saving the day. Sure, that’s a small part of what we do. But a large part of what we do is provide peace of mind for people who have lost people in the backcountry.” Boulder Weekly

buzz recalibrating the present ‘Pioneers’ looks at the contribution of women artists in Boulder

Eve Drewelowe, “The Tetons—Wyoming” (1936)

ene Sherwood. Gwen Meux. Eve Drewlowe. Muriel Sibell Wolle. Virginia True. Anne Jones. These are just some of the names of the artists who ventured into the unknown West in the late 19th century and fostered the art and infrastructures that continue to support Boulder’s artistic community today. University of Colorado’s art department was founded by Sherwood who, alongside Meux and Drewelowe, was also a founding member of The Boulder Artist’s Guild and The Boulder Arts Commision from which grew The Dairy Arts Center and Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art. Wolle was the head of CU’s art department for 20 years and started the museum’s permanent collection. True, a professor at CU, was a founding member of The Prospectors, a group of five artists who produced and promoted Boulder art. Jones also taught at the University and is responsible for founding the ceramics department that serves as the backbone for today’s strong community of potters. In an effort to define and understand this legacy, the works of these artists make up the ongoing exhibition at the CU Art Museum, Pioneers: women artists in Boulder, 1898-1950, curated by Kirk Ambrose, chair of CU’s department of art and art history, and Stephen V. Martonis, exhibition manager of the CU Art Museum. The exhibit is part of the county-wide arts project History of Visual Arts in Boulder (HOVAB). In the process of curation, Ambrose and Martonis uncovered a network of personal stories that echo the formation of Western identity itself. As these artists painted and drew the landscape in which they found themselves, they also underwent a more personal exploration that is perhaps best sym-

bolized by the names they signed their works with. When it comes to frontiers, those who claim discoveries are typically endowed with naming rights — a gesture rife with claims to power and an assertion of ownership over what has been found or created. Many female artists of the late 19th and early 20th century were married and, as was customary of the time, assumed their husband’s names. But when it came to signing their artworks, they split with convention, scribing their maiden names or even sometimes just their first names. “There are so many paintings where they go back and paint over the old names,” Martonis says. “Sometimes just paint over it, but sometimes put their maiden name in place.” He says this play in signing works suggests that being an artist in the West wasn’t just about capturing the landscapes or the cultures that assimilated through settlement. It was about capturing the spirit of the West, claiming their own authority as artists,

and as women. It wasn’t until 2014 when Ambrose and Martonis were working on American West, an exhibition featuring iconic Western works from the University’s permanent collection, that they realized the importance of this specific group of women artists. They wanted to acknowledge their contributions through a separate exhibition, but moving from conception to execution wasn’t easy. A collection of this group had never been tried before and so the curatorial duo found themselves on a frontier of their very own. The pieces were hidden in private collections, museum stocks and auction catalogs and as they searched they uncovered an art history of the West that had been overlooked for a century. The selection of works now on display offers an unprecedented breadth and depth of Boulder’s art

history. The show covers several spectra — artistic style, historical relevance, medium and an array of subject matter. Whether it’s an abstract landscape or a charcoal drawing of a mining building, all of the art is undeniably Western. But rather than relying on typical narratives of pioneers and landscapes, it offers a more subtle exploration of their inter- and intra-personal lives as the artists sought to understand the area as much as their place within it. Take an early landscape from Eve Drewlowe for example, scenes of Boulder foothills and the golden fields that lay at their feet, replete with her vibrant palate of color and her flair for fantastical proportions. In painting the area’s characteristic beauty, her body of work increased and matured, it became more personal, more intimate and also more abstract. But Drewlowe’s work was not as abstract as a similarly timed series of landscapes by Sibell Wolle, see PIONEERS Page 32

overtones ‘Always carry gaff tape’ and other lessons learned by Courtney Barnett

VOTED BEST BAGEL!

Danny Clinch via Grandstand Media & Management

otoriety came quickly for Courtney Barnett. After releasing her first full-length album Sometimes I Sit And Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit in March of 2015, music journalists tripped over themselves to profile the then 27-year-old songwriter. Barnett was the perfect subject, quiet yet well-spoken, introverted with stage presence, talented but humble, upbeat and funny with a history of clinical depression and anxiety. Sometimes I Sit... was named one of the top albums of the year by Rolling Stone, Pitchfork and Paste — fans and critics loved her. A year after this rapid recognition, Barnett makes her way back to Colorado, playing the Ogden Theatre on Tuesday, November 8. During the time that Barnett was writing the songs that would earn her prominence, she was living in Melbourne, playing in various bands, writing songs in her bedroom and tending bar down the street from her apartment. Had her career not taken off as it did, she expects that she’d likely be there now. “I guess I’d still be working in a bar or some other job that allowed me flexibility and low-level commitment,” Barnett says. “And spending all my spare time making art, writing music, playing in bands and watching murder-mystery series. All the while daydreaming of the brains for some sort of career in environmental science.” The question of how she’s come to cope with such rapid success is one she’s well acquainted with. “It’s not easy or difficult,” she explains. “It’s just what it is. It’s funny, it’s the question I get asked the most, and the thing I think about the least. I’m super grateful for the appreciation. It’s like when it’s your birthday and everyone’s really extra nice to you for one day, you secretly love it even though it makes you feel kinda uncomfortable, and then the next day it’s back to normal.” Barnett’s popularity is likely attributed to her obscure songwriting style and the music videos that accompany her work. In “Pedestrian at Best,” Barnett is an unsuccessful clown, tauntBoulder Weekly

thoughts to thousands of people is an absurd reality.” This truthfulness is a major component of Barnett’s appeal, too. Her art translates common pain: Yes, the world is strange; Yes, I struggled with depression and would lock myself in my room for weeks and wonder what the point of it all was; And no, writing incredible lyrics isn’t always a picturesque, tranquil process filled with muses and light bulbs. “I like writing because it explains things to me that I couldn’t see before,” Barnett explains. “Sometimes the process is beautiful and inspiring and sometimes it’s frustrating and never-ending. But it usually eventually ends in satisfaction and some further level of understanding. I’ve been re-working this song that I started writing when I was 15. I think I’ve nearly finished it. My approach to songwriting has always been clueless, I just hope for the best each time. Always doing the research, but only completing the assignment the night before the due date.” When we raise that most-asked question — “How do you cope with your newfound success?” — what we mean is, “Are you happy now? Has your life changed forever?” But in reality, and to the delight of all those music journalists profiling Barnett, she hasn’t allowed her life to change all that much. She spent her Grammy afterparty at a bowling alley with close friends. She likes to play board games at home with her girlfriend. She’s often quoted as maintaining her uncoolness, even after achieving fame. So, did the last year change her? Probably not. Did she learn anything? Sure. “I’ve learnt plenty,” she says. “I’ve learnt ‘bridge’ in Swedish is ‘bron,’ how to get a free trolley at the airport, how to be grateful, how to take a compliment, to always carry gaff tape. I’ve learnt that when I say I don’t care it means I really care a lot.”

What comes of this is a kind of absurdity in songs like “Pedestrian at Best” that her fans truly connect with — an eccentricity that she channels with purpose. “We go along with the idea that the world is normal and society is normal and war is normal and that’s just life — it just happens,” she says. “But underneath it we’re all thinking, ‘What in the fuck is going on in this place?’ So I guess it’s nice to be re-assured sometimes that the absurdity is not just in your imagination, and yes, you’re awake and why don’t we do something.

A Small Story by Peter Everwine

When Mrs. McCausland comes to mind she slips through a small gap in oblivion and walks down her front steps, in her hand a small red velvet pillow she tucks under the head of Old Jim Schreiber, who is lying dead-drunk against the curb of busy Market Street. Then she turns, labors up the steps and is gone ... A small story. Or rather, the memory of a story I heard as a boy. The witnesses are not to be found, the steps lead nowhere, the pillow has collapsed into a thread of dust ... Do the dead come back only to remind us they, too, were once among the living, and that the story we make of our lives is a mystery of luminous, but uncertain moments, a shuffle of images we carry toward sleep — Mrs. McCausland with her velvet pillow, Old Jim at peace — a story, like a small clearing in the woods at night, seen from the windows of a passing train. American Life in Poetry: Column 603: The workings of memory are something that every writer thinks a lot about, and in this poem Peter Everwine, a California poet we’ve featured before, looks very closely into those workings. His most recent book is Listening Long and Late, from the University of Pittsburgh Press. This poem is from Five Points, a distinguished quarterly journal. — Ted Kooser, U.S. Poet Laureate

Infer-nah

Hard pass on Ron Howard’s latest by Ryan Syrek

ery early on in director Ron Howard’s ungodly inert Inferno, one of the few interesting characters throws himself off a building, striking several rooftops on the way down before Jackson Pollack-ing a brain painting onto the concrete. Ugh, he’s so lucky... Inferno is violently stupid and relentlessly unentertaining. It’s the sort of movie where characters vomit exposition and explanation like they chugged a plot laxative before every scene. How Tom Hanks, one of the most beloved actors of our time, has played such a lifeless, charisma-free dingus thrice now is a question that will mystify generations. Your dad may be thrilled that three of Dan Brown’s turgid texts have become movies; the rest of us just hope this is where it ends. Robert Langdon (Hanks), still stubbornly waiting for the mullet to come back around, wakes up with a head wound in an Italian hospital. His doctor, Sienna Brooks Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) is back. This time, (Felicity Jones), tells him he must try to find the location of a virus dehe was grazed in the head signed to wipe out half the world’s population. Clues involve a Ted Talk and an explicit set of with a bullet and is sufferinstructions on the back of a mask. Thrilling! ing from amnesia, something viewers will soon envy. When a bad lady shows up and gets all shooty, Langdon and Sienna scurry away. Unlike The DaVinci Code, no smarts are needed to solve the mystery, as clue number one is just sitting in Langdon’s jacket pocket. Spelling out what’s happening using the most stilted dialogue imaginable, the duo determine that billionaire Bertrand Zobrist (Ben Foster) has created a virus that will wipe out half the planet’s population. It wasn’t a real challenging conclusion to reach, since dude gave a Ted Talk on the subject that gets shown like four times. Zobrist has hidden the contagious material in a plastic bag of badness that will pop in 48 hours. But then he also left a series of clues to find it, which just makes no goddamn sense at all. Why would a villain make a death device and then craft Blue’s Clues tips for locating it? Ugh. Whatever. Nothing works here. Nothing. OK, Irrfan Khan’s irritatingly underused character, an international problem-fixer for hire, is pretty great. But Hanks is near catatonic, Jones looks like she’s (correctly) only thinking about Star Wars: Rogue One and at no point does anyone engender any degree of emotional investment. Plus, this movie thinks you’re just so very stupid; at one point, letters in a painting clearly represent the next clue, in anagram form. The movie stops to tell you “this is an anagram,” then shows you how an anagram works, as though your hamster-sized brainparts needed help. There is a void waiting to be filled by the kind of movie Inferno aspires to be. It’s been ages since a clever, adventure-laden thriller was served up to adult audiences in non-blockbuster-y form. Yet it feels like this drab calamity is pushing us further away from scratching that long-festering itch. If (when) Inferno underperforms, it will be seen as a referendum on what it wanted to be, not what it actually was. If it succeeds (which it won’t), it will be taken as confirmation we want more crud like this. Not sure what ring of hell this is, just sure nobody is getting out. This review previously appeared in The Reader of Omaha, Nebraska.

‘Gimme Danger’ demands to be played loud by Michael J. Casey

Before there Danger. 7:30 p.m. Friday, can be a movement, there must be Nov. 4, International Film equipment, electricity and some semSeries, Muenzinger Auditorium, 1905 Colorado blance of musical skill. The songs are Ave., Boulder, 303-492-1531, written, performed, recorded, produced, promoted, internationalfilmseries.com. distributed and finally consumed. And somewhere 8:45 p.m. Friday, Nov. 11, along this chain, musicians, bands and ideas either The Boedecker Theater, excel or disappear completely. 2590 Walnut St., Boulder, The same could be said for American cinema, 303-440-7826, thedairy.org. which has long tried to capture the anarchic and irreverent energy of devil-may-care rockers. Maybe that’s why 2016 has seen two typically narrative filmmakers, Ron Howard and Jim Jarmusch, turn their attention to rock documentaries. Howard’s doc, The Beatles: Eight Days A Week – The Touring Years, is a marvelous slice of a rock band becoming the most famous band of the 20th century. Courtesy Amazon Studios/Magnolia Pictures, Danny Using archival footage and modern-day Fields c/o Gillian McCain interviews, Howard reconstructs the mania that The Beatles inspired and the tight friendship that fostered it. On the flipside is Jarmusch’s doc, Gimme Danger, which presents The Stooges as a similar tight-knit group of teenagers from working-class backgrounds trying to transform the world through music. Both The Beatles and The Stooges accomplished their ultimate goals, but as far as the history of rock ‘n’ roll is concerned The Beatles are prestigious; The Stooges are notorious. Gimme Danger also combines a plethora of concert footage, archival photographs and modern-day interviews of The Stooges to construct a comprehensive picture of Detroit in the late 1960s and the impoverished roots that frontman Iggy Pop (born James Osterberg) and his mates Jim Jarmusch’s doc, Gimmie Danger tells the story of The Stooges and their — Dave Alexander on bass, Scott rock ‘n’ roll rise. Asheton behind the drums and his brother Ron on guitar — came from. Pop started his career as a drummer in the blues/rock vein, but he wanted more. He also wanted to stop staring at some guy’s rear end, so he moved in front of the kit, formed The Stooges and followed his musical predilections. The result was something that was psychedelic, but louder. A lot louder. Anytime Los Angeles radio deejay Dred Scott plays a Stooges record, he points out that the needle on the VU meter jumps into the red and stays there for the duration of the song. In the years to come, that wall of snarling guitars and screaming lyrics would become the signature of the punk movement. But in 1972, the number one song on Billboard’s Top 100 was “The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face” by Roberta Flack. By comparison, “Search and Destroy” doesn’t even sound like it came from the same planet. Gimme Danger revolves primarily around Pop, and for good reason. Pop is a fascinating character in the history of rock ‘n’ roll, and it was his style that The Stooges took their direction. And it was from The Stooges that all those young punk rockers took their cues — from the Sex Pistols and The Damned to Sonic Youth and Nirvana — effectively smuggling The Stooges’ subversive aesthetic into the mainstream. But The Stooges were still louder than everybody else. Boulder Weekly

deep dish BY CAITLIN ROCKETT

Susan France

teak and eggs is one of the quintessential American breakfast dishes. It combines the unrivaled satisfaction of eating a juicy steak, a pleasure far too often reserved for evening meals, with the simple pleasure of a perfectly cooked egg (that is to say over-easy so the steak gets a nice coating of yolk — but to each their own). Steak and eggs isn’t an everyday breakfast for many of us today (save for you paleo disciples), but it used to be. Americans were voracious meat eaters in the late 1800s and into the first half of the 20th century. This was a time when having a thick waistline was a sign of health and wealth, and, according to Lowell K. Dyson’s article “American Cuisine in the 20th Century,” a time when food wasn’t categorized by mealtime. Turn-of-the-20thcentury Americans consumed huge breakfasts of steak, oysters, lamb, fish, bread, eggs, and of course coffee every day. And then the field of nutrition emerged and slowly but surely, science began to tell Americans to lay off the high-protein diets and eat something green. Still, the steak and egg breakfast remains safe for the most athletic and heroic among us. Long before the Adkins/keto/paleo trends of late, bodybuilder Vincent Gironda bucked the mounting science against high-protein diets through the 1950s and into the ’70s by championing a diet of nothing but steak and eggs. Every day, two meals a day. It became a tradition for astronauts to eat steak

Steak, eggs, astronauts and bodybuilders

Head to Centro Mexican Kitchen for a spicy take on a breakfast classic and eggs for breakfast after NASA’s first flight on May 5, 1961. Before he launched himself into suborbital spaceflight on Freedom 7, Al Shepard woke in the wee hours of the morning, shaved, showered and ate a breakfast of filet mignon, eggs, orange juice and tea. Shepard didn’t just eat steak and eggs because he liked it; the meal was strategically high-protein and low residue to keep him full for hours without the need to use the bathroom. Freedom 7 was successful, and so Shepard’s preflight breakfast became a tradition before space flights

for decades. So, there you have it. Steak and eggs is foundational to American cuisine. Sure, it’s probably not good for most of us desk jockeys to eat steak and eggs every day, but it’s worth the splurge on the occasional Sunday morning brunch. And if you’re already planning to indulge a little, why not spice it up? The folks at Centro Mexican Kitchen have taken this classic breakfast and given it a delicious twist with their carne asada and eggs brunch dish. The difference is the chile rojo, a spicy red sauce that is fundamental to tamales and enchiladas. Centro serves up a sauce that is fantastic in its simplicity, adding heat to the steak and eggs without losing the individuals flavors of the ingredients: chilies, tomatoes, onion, garlic, oil and salt. Caramelized onions add a mildly sweet layer of flavor, and as always, another dimension of texture. But the sirloin is really the star of the dish, marinated to melt-in-your-mouth perfection. Instead of including a tortilla, more common in traditional Mexican cuisine, Centro opts to serve thick-cut potatoes, perfect for sopping up yolk and chile rojo, or as a conveyor to shovel bites of that flawless steak into your mouth. While Centro’s version of steak and eggs has a few carbs on the plate, it’s still a dish fit for astronauts and bodybuilders — and sometimes desk jockeys.

Hacking the new apple

grew up right next door to Johnny Appleseed. Admittedly it was several hundred years apart, but my Massachusetts hometown, Fitchburg, was right next to Leominster, birthplace of John “Johnny Appleseed” Chapman. As a child I imagined Mr. Appleseed bringing the blessing of apple pie to settlers throughout the country. Come to find out later that Chapman was an arborist, but mainly a seriously wacky wanderer. The apple varieties he encouraged were for making hard cider as much as for eating or baking. Folks knew better than to drink the water.

Think different when it comes to tasting apples (and delete the Red Delicious) Apple trees were everywhere in my town — in backyards, in the middle of the woods and on the edges of parking lots. As a kid I would just grab apples off branches — mainly Macintosh, take a bite and toss the rest. They were crisp and cool with a blast of nicely tart juice. I’ve become fond of Colorado’s Jonathan apples — good for eating and cooking and designated as a Slow Food heirloom apple varietal. Colorado was once a major player in the American apple world with orchards along the Front Range shipping the state’s crop east by rail. Colorado’s apples even won gold medals at the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis. But apples have been in steady decline since then as a Colorado crop, and the see NIBBLES Page 52

Smith and the forgettable Gala. The Honeycrisp is the first “hit” apple variety to sweep into the produce marketplace in John Lehndorff many years and still usually is the most expensive apple available. Some of the many missing apples — the crisp, the tart, the soft and the wine-y — were available last Saturday under classic fall sunny blue skies at the Boulder County Farmers Market. A large assortment of end of the season Western Slope apples were available at the big Ela Family Farms booth including Jonathans, Macintosh and Honeycrisp. I was especially charmed by the balanced flavor of the Esepus Spitzenberg, a rare heirloom apple that was a favorite of Thomas Jefferson. Another great one is the Empire, a nice eating apple that is ideal for salads and fresh dishes because the flesh stays white much longer before oxidizing and turning brown. Over at the Masonville Orchards booth, numerous rare and heirloom varieties are offered from growers in Weld and Larimer counties that collectively raise more than 200 varieties of apples. I really liked the Eve apple (really, that’s the name), a Braeburn relative ideal for cooking and baking uses where you want apple slices to retain their shape. Most Macintoshes, for instance, turn into apple sauce. I was especially thrilled to find the Winesap, the variety many of us think is the most nearly perfect apple for pies with a perfectly balanced flavor. It’s been a good year for fruit, and other Boulder County farmers are also offering fresh apples at the markets and at their farm stands and orchards.

Store the apples in the refrigerator or a cool place. While you are shopping grab your “keepers:” potatoes, root vegetables, a dozen kinds of garlic, onions and wonderful winter squashes. You can add a grated apple to your cole slaw. Slice them into the pan when you roast pork or chicken. Core and peel a whole apple, wrap it in pie dough after filling it with butter, brown sugar and cinnamon and bake. Make apple and cheddar cheese quesadillas in a buttered frying pan. Stuff a whole chicken or a kabocha winter squash with chopped fresh apples and roast. Or juice them for a sip of the true essence of autumn.

don’t know when the word “accessible” became ON TAP: Fate a dirty word, but read any movie/music/book Brewing Company. review and it always seems like a slight. The 1600 38th St., Boulder, 303-449-3283. snoots concur if it’s accessible, if any old Joe fatebrewingcompany. can enjoy it, then it can’t be all that good. But com accessibility isn’t that at all. In fact, accessibility should be the highest of praises. Works that are accessible open the gateways to lifelong passions and obsessions. The films of Alfred Hitchcock and Steven Spielberg are accessible; The Beatles and Nirvana wrote accessible music; Ernest Hemingway and Kurt Vonnegut wrote accessible novels; and Fate Brewing makes accessible beer. The brewpub is the perfect place for those who have not yet dived into the adventure that is craft beer, and for those who call it home, to mingle over cobb Susan France salads and pastrami sandwiches while watching a football game or quaffing pints on the patio. For those who need an introduction to the 30 diverse taps featured, Fate offers a reasonably priced flight of their five core beers: Laimas Kölsch (5% ABV), Parcae Belgian Pale Ale (5%), Norns Roggenbier (5%), Moirai India Pale Ale (7%) and Sudice American Stout (7%). Of the five, the Kölsch and the IPA will be the most familiar to casual drinkers, but the Parcae — with its soft breadiness and crisp citrus — and the Sudice — which is not overly burnt or weighty — will intoxicate novice drinkers and introduce them to a world beyond Coors Lite and Sierra Nevada. The standout for my associate and me was the Norns Roggenbier, a malty rye ale with hints of caramel, nutmeg spice and cinnamon. It’s pleasing to the palate and pairs perfectly with Fate’s food offerings, which is typical bar food with a fancy slant. For those who crave the adventure, Fate has plenty of offerings. The Uror (4.9%) is a gose style sour German wheat ale spiced with coriander and sea salt, and it’s hands down delightful. The sour brings tartness and the salt lends the beer a wonderfully briny characteristic, but it is the coriander that adds complexity to the flavor. Heavier beers — like scotch ales, stouts and porters — typically dot dinner tables during the holiday season, but Uror deserves every right to be called up to the majors. Not all of Fate’s offerings are as good as the Uror or the Norns, but they all manage to pair nicely with just about everything. That’s the beauty of a proper brewpub — there is plenty to discover. And Fate maintains a pleasant atmosphere that isn’t too noisy, isn’t too hip and isn’t too calculated. You won’t have any reason to hurry back into the real world.

ARIES

MARCH 21-APRIL 19:

I am in awe of your headfirst, charge-forward, no-distractions approach. In fact, I aspire to incorporate more of the Aries-style directness into my own repertoire. But I also love it when, on rare occasions, you flirt with a more strategic perspective. It amuses me to see you experimenting with the power of secrets. Your wisdom often grows at an expedited rate when you get caught up in a web of intrigue that exposes you to dark joys and melodramatic lessons. During times like these, you feel fine about not having everything figured out, about not knowing the most straightforward route to your destination. You allow the riddles and enigmas to ferment as you bask in the voluptuous ambiance of the Great Mystery. Now is such a time.

TAURUS

APRIL 20-MAY 20:

I am pleased to inform you that at least 30 percent of what you think you know about love and lust is too prosaic. Probably too narrow and constrained, as well. But here’s the good news: As soon as you agree to relinquish the dull certainty of that 30-plus percent, you will open yourself to a surge of fresh teachings. And soon, I expect, dewy throbs and hot flows will awaken in all the erotic parts of your body, including your heart and brain and soul. If you’re brave enough to respond, generous lessons in intimacy will keep you entertained for weeks.

JAN. 20-FEB. 18: Like England and Spain, the Netherlands

They’re an egalitarian bunch. The young ones attend public schools, and the previous queen’s birthday is celebrated with a nation-wide flea market. The king’s crown is attractive but quite economical. Its pearls are fake, and other “jewels” are made of glass, colored foil, and fish scales. In accordance with the astrological omens, I propose that you create a regal but earthy headpiece for yourself. It’s high time for you to elevate your self-worth in an amusing and artful way. What fun and funky materials will you use in your homemade crown?

PISCES

FEB. 19-MARCH 20: In her book, A Natural History of the Senses, Diane Ackerman reports on the eccentric methods that professional writers have used to galvanize their creative process. Poet Amy Lowell relaxed into her work day by puffing on Manila cigars. Novelist Colette plucked fleas from her cat. T. S. Eliot’s poetry thrived when he had a head cold. Novelist George Sand liked to jump out of bed after making love and immediately begin writing. Novelist William Gass, who is still among the living, wanders around outside taking photos of “rusty, derelict, overlooked, downtrodden” places. As for D. H. Lawrence: climbing mulberry trees naked energized his genius. What about you, Pisces? Now is an excellent time to draw intensely on your reliable sources of inspiration— as well as to seek new ones.

GEMINI

MAY 21-JUNE 20:

Over the last two decades, well-meaning Westerners have donated a profusion of clothes to low-income folks in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. Kind and magnanimous, right? Yes, but their largesse has had an unintended consequence: the demise of the textile industry in those African countries. With this as a cautionary tale, I’m asking you to take inventory of your own acts of benevolence and charity. Are they having effects that you approve of? If not completely, how could you adjust the way you give your gifts and bestow your blessings?

CANCER

JUNE 21-JULY 22:

Is it possible that you might flourish as a topdog after all the work you’ve put in as an underdog? Can you wean yourself from the worried fantasy that you’ve got endless dues to pay, and then harness your imagination to expand your confidence and build your clout? I believe you can. And in the coming weeks I will unleash a flood of prayers to the Goddess of Holy Reversals, asking her to assist you. Now please repeat after me: “I am a creative force of nature. I am a strong song of liberation. I am a wise animal with direct access to my primal intelligence.”

LEO

JULY 23-AUG. 22:

The next two weeks could be smooth, peaceful and bland. Is that the experience you want? Mild satisfactions, sweet boredom and slow progress? There’s nothing wrong with any of that. Please feel free to loll and loaf as you explore the healing charms of laziness. Grant yourself permission to avoid conflict and cultivate sunny self-protectiveness. This is one of those times when silence and stasis are among the best gifts you can give yourself. Welcome the rejuvenating power of emptiness!

VIRGO

AUG. 23-SEPT. 22:

It’s time to replace banged-up, dried-out old obsessions with ripe, juicy fascinations. It’s your duty to phase out numbing traditions and deadening habits so as to make room for exciting new rituals, customs, and sacraments. Can you summon the electric willpower to shed influences that are technically “correct” but lacking in soulfulness? I think you can. Do you love yourself enough to forswear pretty but meaningless titillations? I think you do. Now get out there and do the hard work necessary to bring more serious fun into your life. Homework: Write an essay titled “What I Can Do to Be More Playful.”

LIBRA

SEPT. 23-OCT. 22:

Over the course of his or her life, the average British person says “Sorry” on over 90,000 occasions. The typical Libran Brit probably utters routine apologies upwards of 120,000 times. Libras from other countries may not reach that heady level, but many do specialize in excessive politeness. (I should know, as I have three planets in Libra in my natal chart.) But in accordance with the astrological indicators, I am authorizing you to be a bit less courteous and solicitous than usual in the next two weeks. Don’t go overboard, of course. But allowing yourself some breathing room like this will help you get more rigorous access to your authentic, idiosyncratic, soulful urges — which will be very tonic.

SCORPIO

OCT. 23-NOV. 21:

Until 2007, Scotland’s official slogan was “Scotland, the Best Small Country in the World.” Deciding that wasn’t sufficiently upbeat, the government spent $187,000 on a campaign to come up with something better. “Home of Golf” and “Home of Europe’s Fastest Growing Life Sciences Community” were among the proposed phrases that were rejected. The ultimate choice: “Welcome to Scotland.” I bring this to your attention, Scorpio, because you’re in a favorable phase to rebrand yourself. But I hope you will be more daring and imaginative than Scotland. How about “Smolderingly Alarmingly Brilliant”? Or maybe “Safely Risky and Unpredictably

FleeMarket recommends having a plan in place in case things/feels/dicks go wrong. “Use the traffic-light system,” FleeMarket says. “Things getting too intense? Say ‘yellow’ to slow the play down. Someone getting upset? Say ‘red’ to stop the play and all three of you can talk. It’s always better if everyone understands it’s okay to call a stop to play if you need to.” Dear Dan: I just came across the word “wittol.” It means “a man who knows, condones, and even encourages his wife’s enjoyment of coitus with another man or men; a contented cuckold.” Considering the frequency with which cuckolding comes up and your influence on language, I thought you might want to know. — He’s Expanding Lexicon Perpetually Dear HELP: Discontent is a big part of the cuckolding kink, HELP, as cuckolds get off on feeling humiliated and jealous. So I’m not sure “wittol” quite works. But if the alt-right white supremacists succeed in making “cuck” synonymous with “race traitor,” maybe cucks will switch to “wittol.” But don’t give up without a fight, cucks!

Back-alley deal Wikimedia Commons

t was summer and it was hot. We sought what respite we could from the sun and also from the occasional passerby in the alleyway under the leafy branches of an old oak tree. We sat lazily in bright-colored plastic lawn chairs, glad to bask in a few precious moments with nothing to do until my friend’s kids got home and I had to go back to work. As I gulped down the last of my noontime beer I heard footsteps tromp through the yard, and from just out of sight came a ringing and friendly, “Hello.” One of my favorite things about small town summer afternoons is the pop-over visitor, a friend out for a stroll, stopping in to see if anybody’s home, with no particular reason. Our visitor sat down on the grass to share a few jokes and stories. A few minutes later I stood up to leave. “Wait,” she said, ruffling around in her handbag looking for something. “Take this! It’s from our last harvest.” She held up a little baggie and placed it in my hand. Through the crinkly clear plastic, I could see a green nugget of cannabis flower. “This one’s on me,” she said. “Let me know what you think — we grow it ourselves and are always looking for feedback. And, if you like it and want more, we sell it for way less than what it costs in stores.”

This was my first back-alley deal in years and I have to admit, I liked it. Not just because of the freebie or the prospect of lower-than-market rates but because it brought up a bittersweet longing for a time passed. I was flooded by a collage-like memory of various, black market encounters I’d been a part of in my younger years. Despite my nostalgia, this was precisely the sort of black market deal legalization sought to eradicate. An oft touted goal of legalization is the suppression of the black market by way of a functioning legal one that is regulated and taxable. Not only does this generate revenue for communities and governments, but it also removes the need for enforcement costs associated with criminalization. The decriminalization aspect of legalization is

easy to miss, but the little cannabis freebie in my pocket reminded me of its importance. The impromptu exchange in my friend’s backyard wasn’t legal per say, but it wasn’t criminal either. This subtle fact I tend to take for granted was illuminated in its importance on a recent trip to New York when I saw a few similar back-alley deals first hand, but with much higher stakes. Cannabis isn’t totally illegal in New York — there is a small but legal medical marijuana market in the city, but it comes with such tight restrictions that it is crippled (in order to qualify for a prescription a patient must suffer from severe chronic pain or terminal illness). But even though cannabis is predominantly illegal across the state, people still consume it. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 12.83 percent of New Yorkers admit to occasional consumption, compared with the national average of 10.2 percent or 15 percent of Coloradans. According to the New York Civil Liberties Union, New York City police arrest and jail more people for marijuana-related offenses than anywhere else in the world. Meanwhile, in Colorado, marijuana arrest rates have shrunk 97 percent since legalization. The only difference between jail and an innocuous exchange? One happens in New York and one happens in a Colorado backyard.

cannabis corner Marijuana legalization wars: Follow the money edition

good way to gauge where things stand in the marijuana legalization wars a week before Election Day is to follow the money. And the latest polls, of course. There are limitations to this approach. Trying to predict the outcome of an election by polling a week or less before the voting ends is a lot like trying to predict how a road trip is going to end by looking out the back window of the car. Ditto with following the money. The financial disclosure reports published, say, 10 days before Election Day don’t tell you how much will be contributed and spent before the polls close. That said, here’s how things stood about a week ago. According to an October 26 story in the Washington Post, the biggest contributor to the antimarijuana legalization effort is — as expected — casino owner Sheldon Adelson. Adelson has contributed $2 million to fight Nevada’s legalization initiative, $500,000 to the Arizona antilegalization initiative, $1 million to the anti-pot effort in Massachusetts, and $1 million to fight the medical marijuana legalization measure in Florida. Chances are he’s not done giving. But there’s one vote no campaign he hasn’t contributed to: California’s. That’s probably because the pro-legalization side has out-raised the opponents by roughly 10 to 1, and the legalization initiative, Proposition 64, has maintained a double-digit lead in the polls. The largest contributor to the Prop 64 campaign is Sean Parker, Napster founder and the first president of Facebook. He’s directed at least $8.8 million toward the effort. The biggest contributor to the anti-Prop 64 effort in California is Julie Schauer, a retired eastcoast art professor, who gave $1.4 million to SAM (Smart Approaches to Marijuana), the anti-legaliza-

tion group founded by former Congressman and recovering poly-substance abuser Patrick Kennedy. Her contribution was intended to oppose legalization in three states, with most going to California. The Nevada anti-legalization effort is also getting financial support from some of Adelson’s fellow casino magnates. South Point Hotel Casino and Spa, MGM Resorts International and Boyd Gaming are listed among the top five contributors. In Arizona, two contributors to the anti-effort other than Adelson stand out: Insys Therapeutics, a pain-killer manufacturer that’s developing a drug based on a synthetic version of THC, gave $500,000, and Discount Tire, a Nevada-based business, kicked in $1 million. In addition to the Marijuana Policy Project and other pro-legalization groups, financial support for legalization in both Nevada and Arizona is coming

from medical marijuana business interests. Perhaps the most interesting heavy hitter in an anti-legalization effort is the Archdiocese of Boston, which poured $850,000 into the anti-legalization campaign in Massachusetts last week. The sudden entry of the Archdiocese, whose contribution represents a 50-percent increase in the anti-legalization war chest, may reflect the fact that while polling in Massachusetts shows pro-legalization leading 49-42 percent (according to a Suffolk University/Boston Globe poll released a week ago), support is down from an earlier poll that showed it with a 15 point lead. Just guessing here, but it wouldn’t be surprising if the Archdiocese had a behind-the-scenes role in getting Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker and Boston Mayor Martin Walsh to organize opposition to the legalization initiative in the first place. Legalization in Massachusetts seems a close run, but the relatively low 42 percent opposed number suggests it has a reasonable chance of prevailing. Adelson’s $1 million bet in Florida doesn’t seem to be buying the anti-campaign a lot of traction. A poll released early last week showed support for legalizing medical marijuana in Florida at 71 percent. The initiative, in the form of a state constitutional amendment, needs 60 percent to pass. The opposition’s best shot at killing a legalization initiative is in Arizona, where a mid-October poll by independent pollster Data Orbital showed Prop 205, the legalization initiatve, trailing by a 44-45 percent margin. Since support for initiatives tends to fall off closer to the election, legalization in Arizona is in trouble. The situation in Nevada is a bit better — Proposition 2 is leading 47-43 percent, with a 3 percent drop in opposition from a month earlier. But passage is still a touch-and-go deal. Maine is the one state where legalization hasn’t stirred up much opposition. Pro-legalization forces have raised $1.3 million to the anti-camp’s $79,000, and the initiative was leading by 9 points in a poll conducted last week. With only 40 percent opposed, legalization in Maine seems likely to pass.

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

THE WEAKER SEX?

While women have a plethora of birth control options at their disposal — pills, rings, implants, intrauterine devices — men have mostly been subjected to carrying condoms in their wallets in case they get lucky. But no more! A new study found a hormonal birth control shot for men that is nearly 96 percent effective for continuous users. Holy cow! Great news, right? Wrong. The study, which was tested on 320 men in monogamous relationships, was cut short due to horrifying side effects. Twenty of these brave, courageous, manly men just couldn’t take it anymore and Wikimedia Commons/Bruce Blaus dropped out. These side effects included: injection site pain, varied libido, acne, muscle pain, depression and other mood disorders. (It also should be noted that researchers believe that almost 40 percent of these symptoms had nothing to do with the shots.) After these results were released, all women who’ve taken birth control let out a collective, sigh, then asked, “Yeah, uh, and your point is?” Since 1960, when the pill was first introduced, women have had to combat these symptoms. Plus the symptoms of possessing the female reproductive system, including but not limited to: menstrual cramps, sore breasts, shedding the uterine lining one week out of every month, and higher risks of breast and/or uterine cancer. Oh, let’s not forget that small, annoying side effect of having to endure the patriarchy not taking them seriously because it’s “their time of the month.” So sorry dudes, we don’t buy it. Woman up and grow some ovaries.

FINALLY A NEWSPAPER ENDORSEMENT

It took a hell of a long time, but Donald “I’m as crazy as my hair” Trump has finally gotten an endorsement from a newspaper. Not just an endorsement, The Crusader went all out in its praise for Trump and his platform. It even dedicated its front page to the now infamous Trump slogan “Make America Great Again.” The paper then went on to finally explain what the hell that slogan actually means. In his endorsement article, Pastor Thomas Robb wrote, “‘Make America Great Again!’ It is a slogan that has been repeatedly used by Donald Trump in his campaign for the presidency ... You can see it on the shirts, buttons, posters and ball caps ... But can it happen? Can America really be great again? This is what we will soon find out ... While Trump wants to make America great again, we have to ask ourselves, ‘What made America great in the first place? ... The short answer to that is simple. America was great not because of what our forefathers did — but because of who our forefathers were. America was founded as a White Christian Republic. And as a White Christian Republic it became great.” Did we forget to mention that The Crusader is one of the more prominent publications of the KKK? Congrats on getting that first endorsement, Donald. We’re sure others will come flooding in now that one of the nation’s more influential publications is standing behind you. Boulder Weekly
