Highroad Putting the Trump stamp on the public by Jim Hightower

his spring, President Trump created an inter-agency federal task force to propose structural reforms in the U.S. Postal Service. In only two months, the task force (comprised entirely of top Trump officials) zapped out a down-and-dirty report with this key recommendation: “Prepare [USPS] for future conversion from a government agency into a privately-held corporation.” Privatization! Are they not aware that our public postal agency is enormously popular and important to... well, to the public? A February Pew Research poll finds that an astonishing 88 percent

of Americans give the PO a thumbs up. Even the president’s executive order setting up the task force conceded that the postal service “is regularly cited as the Federal agency with the highest public approval rating.” The 640,000 middle-class postal workers and letter carriers merit such kudos because they literally deliver for us. Working from 31,585 local POs, they trundle 150 billion pieces of mail a year, 4 million miles a day to 157 million addresses across the land, from inner-city neighborhoods to back roads — delivering all with remarkable speed.

does this without taking a dime in taxpayer funds, financing its operations entirely from its sales and services to customers. This is a genuine public good linking all of America’s people together. For decades, though, anti-government propagandists have pushed the narrative that government is inherently incompetent, wasteful and a social evil that must to be eliminated. But the problem for these ideologues is that USPS is not only a government agency that works, but millions of folks see it working for them daily. Therefore, to maintain the negative political narrative about public entities, the far-right corporatists are desperate to kill our public post offices.

e are witnessing an explosive revival of the far right across the globe. It is happening in Europe, Latin America, Russia, the Middle East and Asia. But it is particularly ominous that it is also happening in the United States, the dominant and oldest democracy, after the election of Donald Trump. Last month, U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders and Yanis Varoufakis, the former finance minister of Greece, launched Progressive International, which hopes to create a united front against the far right by mobilizing “a global network of individuals and organizations that will fight together for dignity, peace, prosperity and the future of our planet.” They issued a call to action: “There is a global war being waged against workers, against our environment, against democracy, against decency. “A network of right-wing factions is collaborating across borders to erode human rights, silence dissent, and promote intolerance. Not since the 1930s has humanity faced such an existential threat. “To defeat them, we cannot simply go back to the failed status quo of the last few decades. Unfettered globalization promised peace and prosperity.

But it delivered financial crisis, needless war, and disastrous climate change, instead.” The announcement was delivered at an inaugural three-day event in Burlington, Vermont, by a new thinktank called the Sanders Institute, which is led by the senator’s wife, Jane O’Meara Sanders. She said that the Institute was founded in 2017 but the gathering was deliberately held after the midterm elections: “The Democrats took back the House, so the ideas that we’re coming up with have more of a shot of being brought forward in the House and even possibly pass depending on how strong the progressives are and that will help us in terms of moving the principles and the values and ideas that we have forward.” The gathering brought together some 250 progressive thinkers, politicians and activists. The attendees included Cornel West, Bill McKibben, Naomi Klein, Danny Glover, Our Revolution president Nina Turner, The Young Turks founder Cenk Uyger, labor leaders Roseann DeMoro (National Nurses United) and Peter Knowlton (United Electrical Workers), and Carmen Yulin Cruz, the mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico.

dealt with winning Medicare for All, solving the climate crisis with a Green New Deal, reforming the criminal justice system and creating affordable housing. Shortly after the gathering, Katrín Jakobsdóttir, Iceland’s Prime Minister, announced on Facebook her support for Progressive International because it represents “the struggle for general welfare, security, and dignity for all people,” and that a trans-border network of those on the left would help “alleviate social and economic inequality, make changes to the global financial system, turn away from the arms race, and stop climate change.” Jakobsdóttir, who’s been described as “the anti-Trump,” is the leader of Iceland’s Left-Green Movement, which is in a coalition government with two more conservative parties. John Nichols of The Nation notes that she is “the first elected head of state who comes from a new breed of Nordic left-wing parties that link democratic socialism, environmentalism, feminism, and anti-militarism. She is, as well, one of a number of young left-leaning women who have emerged as prime ministers and party leaders in countries around the world at the same time that the United States has been coming to grips with the defeat of Hillary Clinton and the election of Donald Trump.” In 2018, a record number of women were elected to office in the U.S. But we still have a lot of catching up to do. Americans have a problem hearing that we can learn from the experiences of other countries. Politicians are always telling us that we are the greatest and most wonderful country on the planet. This arrogant notion that we are an isolated shining city on a hill is a dangerous delusion. We are not immune from the forces of history. It can happen here. America can become fascist. In September, Bernie Sanders and Yanis Varoufakis wrote a pair of op-eds in the Guardian about the need for a Progressive International. Sanders asked: “Three years ago, who would have imagined that the United States would stay neutral between Canada, our democratic neighbor and second largest trading partner, and Saudi Arabia, a monarchic, client state that treats women as third-class citizens? It’s also hard to imagine that Israel’s Netanyahu government would have moved to pass the recent ‘nation state law’, which essentially codifies the second-class status of Israel’s non-Jewish citizens, if Boulder Weekly

Benjamin Netanyahu didn’t know Trump would have his back. “All of this is not exactly a secret. As the U.S. continues to grow further and further apart from our longtime democratic allies, the U.S. ambassador to Germany recently made clear the Trump administration’s support for rightwing extremist parties across Europe.” Varoufakis said that fascism can become attractive to desperate people: “Our task is not unprecedented.

Fascists did not come to power in the mid-war period by promising violence, war or concentration camps. They came to power by addressing good people who, following a severe capitalist crisis, had been treated for too long like livestock that had lost its market value. Instead of treating them like ‘deplorables,’ fascists looked at them in the eye and promised to restore their pride, offered their friendship, gave them a sense that they belonged to a

larger ideal, allowed them to think of themselves as something more than sovereign consumers.” But he says, “That injection of selfesteem was accompanied by warnings against the lurking ‘alien’ who threatened their revived hope.” Progressives can offer a positive alternative to both the fascists and the establishment — a global Green New Deal.

guest column Déjà vu at U.N. climate talks by Michaela Mujica-Steiner

his year felt like déjà vu. On Dec. 10, I was again standing in line at the U.N. Climate Talks, waiting to disrupt the Trump administration’s panel on the “efficient” use of fossil fuels as a solution to climate change. Like last year, I attended the U.N. Climate Talks as a youth delegate with the organization SustainUS. And I find it ridiculous and shameful that the U.S. government is almost always the worst entity in the room, blocking climate progress on the international stage. As a young person, I’m terrified about what my future holds, and I think about how my own home state of Colorado is dotted with fracking wells. While things look dim on a national level, it’s hard for me to feel hopeful about efforts on a local scale. It’s not just Trump that is in bed with fossil fuel CEOs, but it’s also Democratic politicians like GovernorElect Jared Polis who refuses to take a strong stand against fracking and other extractive practices. Just this past fall, Polis didn’t support the ballot initiative that would have required 2,500-foot setbacks between fracking wells and occupied structures. If we need to completely keep fossil fuels in the ground and switch to renewables as soon as possible to avoid catastrophic warming at an apocalyptic scale, minimum fracking setbacks for health and safety is a pretty low bar for a politician to back. Now that I was here yet again at the U.N., surrounded by thousands of leaders from international governments and civil society, I felt especially ashamed about how far the U.S. as a whole was from the kind of action required to pay back our climate debt. I am both disenchanted by the politicians who actively promote fossil fuels as a solution to climate change and those who have silently let the industry have a powerful influence over our political system. Ten minutes into the propaganda panel for the fossil fuel industry, as Trump’s fossil fuel cronies spewed their garbage, over 100 people in the audience broke out into laughter, calling the U.S.’s energy policy a “joke.” This response not only captures the international community’s collective disdain for Trump’s subservience to big oil, but also the sheer absurdity of even considering that fossil fuel use, which includes coal, oil and natural gas, is a compatible strategy with keeping rising temperatures under 1.5 degrees. As U.S. envoys attempted to speak over the laughter, the entire audience stood up and started chanting, “keep it in the ground,” raising a large banner and block8 December 13 , 2018

ing the panel from view. Four representatives from Indigenous, youth, and Global South communities took the microphone and shared stories about the growing movement in the U.S. to stop fossil fuel and uranium extraction, and advance a just transition to 100-percent renewable energy. This is where the real solutions to the climate crisis lie — with impacted frontline communities and communities of color who have been working toward a just transition away from fossil fuels for many years now. As people took over the space and temporarily shut down the entire event, I felt like this is what we inevitably need: everyday people taking power back and demanding that all of our elected officials take the action necessary to keep it in the ground and provide reparations to those communities most impacted by climate change. As security escorted us out, we collectively chanted, “Shame on you!” over and over again, leaving the room empty, aside from a few corporate profiteers that remained in their seats. This is the second year in a row that the U.S. government has held an event at the climate talks promoting fossil fuels and nuclear energy as a solution to the climate crisis. It’s obviously absurd, but it’s just as absurd as Democratic politicians remaining silent or complicit as our very own communities get fracked by corporations who don’t have our interests in mind. While the Trump administration’s presence at the climate talks was seen as a joke, Colorado politicians like Polis should not get off the hook. By doing nothing about fracking, Polis is allowing fossil fuel CEOs to get rich off of the destruction of our communities across Colorado. I wish I had more hope about the future of our planet, but I honestly don’t. The IPCC report and recent U.S. National Climate Assessment back up the science we’ve known for decades. Yet our politicians continue to fail to take the necessary action to transform our global economy off fossil fuels and dirty energy to clean, renewable energy in a way that centers around communities and not corporations. I’m afraid that the same profiteers that got us into this mess will only continue to profit off of an escalating crisis. As there is no hope on the federal level, it will take everyday people demanding that our elected officials at home take real action to keep it in the ground. Michaela Mujica-Steiner, born, raised, and living in Boulder, is with the SustainUS Youth Delegation to the 24th U.N. Climate Talks in Katowice, Poland. Boulder Weekly

letters Climate report, meet climate bill A new report on climate change and its effects, both already-occurring and projected, dropped on Black Friday. The report comes from the federal government, and distinguishes itself from other recent warnings (such as that from the IPCC) chiefly for the specificity of its predictions. The report comes at an imposing 1,656 pages, but a quick and useful summary can be found at nca2018.globalchange. gov. It’s worth reading, even if you already can guess the gist. One theme that stands out to me is that climate change will hit the global poor first and foremost. This is no surprise. Almost by definition, being poor means being devoid of protections from either catastrophic events (such as extreme weather associated with climate change) or the slow ratcheting up of economic pressures (such as what happens to farmers as growing seasons shorten on a warming planet). Now consider a second prediction: the net effect of climate change may impact the size of the American economy by as much as 10 percent by century’s end. This, to me, really drives the first theme home. While poverty is a real and serious problem in America, by and large, our countrymen are not who people are referring to when they speak of the global poor. Yet, within this very century, this report, from the Trump administration, is predicting net negative impacts on the U.S. economy measuring in the trillions of dollars. Effects of that size will be felt by our immediate descendants, but they will herald, I fear, much worse effects for those peoples not fortunate enough to live in a country whose affluence offers at least some protection. While this sounds imposing, it most certainly should not paralyze us. Instead, it should galvanize us into seeking out large-scale, impactful solutions. One such solution just landed on the floor of the House. It’s called the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividends Act of 2018. Perhaps what’s most unique about it is that it’s a genuinely bipartisan piece of legislation (three Democrats and two Republicans introduced it) that nonetheless does not compromise on effectiveness. You can find a succinct explainer of it here, citizensclimatelobby.org/energy-innovation-and-carbon-dividend-act/, and if you agree that it should play a central role in U.S. climate solutions going forwards, give your represen-

tative a call and say as much. Daniel Palken/Boulder

WAITING FOR AN EMERGENCY by Will Brendza

Boulder County’s ambulance crews are out on the street when they aren’t responding, whether they like it or not

f you drive around Boulder County on any given day of the week, any time of day or night, you’re bound to see American Medical Response (AMR) ambulances lingering somewhere around town, engines idling. They post up strategically, in lots outside coffee shops and restaurants, by schools or near parks. They wait, hanging out until their next call — when their radio squawks to life and they leap into action, charging off to help whomever might be in need. It’s comforting, on a certain level, seeing these ambulances perched like guardians all around the county. But for the emergency medical service (EMS) crews within them, the days can be laborious. By nature it’s a high-stress occupation, and they’re either in the ambulance responding to an emergency, or in the ambulance waiting for one, all day long. Things haven’t always been this way in Boulder County. Until 2014, AMR’s system of ambulance deployment was similar to the system used by Boulder’s firefighters — EMTs were on 48-hour shifts, and had EMS stations where they could sleep, eat and recuperate between emergency calls. However, in an effort to increase Boulder Weekly

Courtesy of AMR

efficiency, AMR decided to scrap those stations, cut the shifts back to around 10 hours and keep its ambulance crews inposition, in-ambulance for the duration of their day. This model is becoming the favored mode of operation for EMS providers in urban areas throughout Colorado, even if in other states people are actively advocating against it. Christopher Williams, the operations chief at AMR, explains that the system, known as street corner posting, allows the company to dynamically deploy ambulances throughout the county, according to where and when call volume is expected to be largest. And it has proved effective, decreasing the response time to emergencies by nearly a minute and a half, which is crucial time saved in an emergency medical situation. “We had a 90 second ‘shoot time,’” or the amount of time it takes for the ambulance crews to deploy from wherever they’re waiting,” Williams says. “Now it takes them three to five seconds to get on route to a call.” Proponents of street corner posting often make this point, that shorter response times are proof that the model works. But do quicker response times and shorter shifts equate to better objec-

tive patient care? According to Williams, yes. “Better response times and caregivers who run fewer responses because of a shorter time span [on call] allows crews to give excellent care,” he says. Research published in the journal Prehospital Emergency Care supports half of this belief. Longer shifts or excessive consecutive work hours do raise the potential for mistakes and generally decrease quality of care. The study found fatigued respondents faced 1.9 greater odds of injury, 2.2 greater odds of medical error and 3.6 greater odds of “safety-compromising behavior.” However, another study published in Quality and Safety in Healthcare suggests that response times are a limited measure of success, and can conflict with other quality indicators like rapid transportation of the patient to the hospital. “The strategies introduced to meet the (response time) targets can be detrimental to patient care and also have adverse effects on the health, safety, wellbeing, and morale of paramedics,” the study says, concluding that too much focus on reducing response times can put patients and ambulance crews at risk. Undoubtedly, increased response times mean faster patient care — which is a welcome outcome — but whether or not they mean better patient care is debated, it seems.

Patient care wasn’t the only motivation behind the switch to 10-hour shifts and street corner posting, though. It also saves AMR a lot of money, Williams says. When the company had to pay for EMS stations, it had to provide everything necessary for the EMS staff to essentially live there: beds, kitchens, TVs, couches and other furniture, on top of the cost of renting out a space. For a company like AMR, which serves counties and municipalities all over the country, those costs can be daunting. So, today, instead of having stations, Boulder paramedics and EMTs remain inside their ambulances. When they need to break for food, they can stop at hospitals, or at the AMR headquarters out at Foothills and Pearl. “If people need breaks ... we make sure to get them breaks,” Williams explains. “We rotate crews in and make sure they get a chance to go out and get food, or if they bring their food, that they can stop by headquarters and eat.” Matt Landridge, an AMR operations captain and paramedic who has worked EMS in Boulder for over six years, says even though that’s an option, there isn’t really a whole lot of time to take breaks like that. The nature of their job requires them to stay on their toes and on the street. “In EMS, there aren’t really ‘lunch breaks,’” Landridge says, chuckling. See EMERGENCY Page 12

EMERGENCY from Page 11

“We’re pretty much always posted somewhere waiting for a call or responding to a call.” At certain times of the year, particularly during the university’s school year, and particularly on the weekends between midnight and 2 a.m., EMTs see a lot of action. On average they run about six calls every 12 hours, according to Williams. Though, he notes, depending on the time of year and time of day, that tends to vary. During down periods and slow spells, AMR tries to reduce the number of ambulances posted on the streets, but someone’s always got to be out there. And they’ve got to be on high-alert for the duration of their shift — no matter if that means responding to one call an hour, or 10 hours of downtime. Landridge seems indifferent to the street corner posting model. He says he has worked both from stations and from street corners and it doesn’t really bother him, either way. The biggest drawback he mentions is boredom — plain and simple. “It can get pretty boring being posted for 10 hours if it’s a slow day,” he says, adding, “But we usually see a lot of action.” Not everyone was so impartial to the change, though, Williams admits. When asked how the change affected employee morale, he hesitated. “You know, there’s an ebb and flow of it,” he says. “It kind of just depends on the person, honestly. Some like it, some don’t.” That was a sentiment echoed by Chris Dailey, the communications chairperson for the Emergency Medical Services Association of Colorado (EMSAC). “I can really say that I think it comes down to the individual,” he says. Some ambulance crews don’t mind hanging out in the vehicle killing time, he says. “But I know that there’s also a lot of people that fall on the side of the fence where they find it to be uncomfortable.” Sitting in an ambulance for hours on end (especially if the vehicle has an exhaust leak or a broken air conditioner/ heater) can be tiresome, even unhealthy, some paramedics argue. It’s part of the reason Los Angeles County passed a bill (Proposition 11) in November with the specific intention of preventing a switch to the street corner posting model. “Prop 11 basically says that [EMS crews] can be interrupted during their break time in times of emergency,” says Richard Tadeo, the assistant director for the Los Angeles County EMS. It is another solution to the same problem, he explains. By voting to allow EMTs to be interrupted while on break, LA is able to keep their EMS stations without switching to a street corner posting model.

“In fact, we really discourage street posting,” Tadeo says. “It’s not healthy for the individuals.” Admittedly, LA and Boulder are difficult to compare for a lot of reasons, not least of which is size. But in Boulder there was no discussion of alternative options like LA’s Prop 11, let alone a vote. AMR quietly proposed the change to both the City and the County of Boulder, and it was silently approved by the Fire Department and Boulder County Sheriff ’s Department in 2014. It was the station deployment model that was taking a toll on Boulder’s EMS crews, explains Jeff Long, the deputy chief of operations for the Boulder Fire Department. Street corner posting is actually much easier on them, he argues, when compared with the old station model. “What we found after a couple of years is that we were just destroying [AMR’s] crews with the call volume and they were not meeting their performance standards that they needed to,” he says. “That’s what drove the change in the contract model.” The contract addendum was made after AMR’s proposal, the county set some performance standards for EMS (largely based on response times) and took their hands off the wheel of the ambulance business. AMR is a private contract entity, after all, says Sergeant Dave Bootan of the Sheriff ’s Department. Since AMR is not a true arm of the County or City, they have autonomy to make whatever operational changes they see fit. “We contract for their services but we don’t tell them how to operate,” Bootan says. “Our bottom line is to make sure that the patient is being taken care of appropriately.” If that means making a handful of EMS responders uncomfortable, then so be it. When the County sees reduced response times and lower expenditures tied up in the same solution, it’s difficult to make a case against street corner posting. It’s also likely why this model is becoming increasingly popular around the state. “[Street corner posting] is more common than not,” Williams says. “Areas like Boulder, Denver, Fort Collins, Greely, Colorado Springs, Pueblo — all those places have ambulances dynamically posted.” It’s simply more effective to keep EMS locked and loaded, prepped and positioned to respond, than to trifle with the cost of EMS stations and the challenges they present. Street corner posting is becoming the industry standard in Colorado, and whether or not it is popular among ambulance crews seems to be irrelevant. Boulder Weekly

In November, Spain joined the growing number of governments implementing a total ban on oil and gas exploration, a step toward phasing out oil production entirely.

growing number of governments are choosing to phase out oil production, reasoning that cutting the availability of fossil fuels can help cut the demand for them. The world needs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as fast as possible, yes? And one of the main causes of the emissions is the burning of fuels such as oil, gas and coal? Right again. So the simple and obvious answer, some governments are deciding, is to stop drilling and mining to extract fossil fuels. That’s the argument examined in a report by researchers from the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI). There’s already a growing movement to leave fossil fuels in the ground. But their study concentrates specifically on governments. They say phasing out oil production could be the next big step in climate policy, thanks to an initial group of first-movers who’ve already taken the plunge. One is Spain, which announced in midNovember that it plans to completely decarbonize its electricity system by mid-century, a move which includes a total ban on all oil and gas exploration. The SEI team outlines its findings in the journal Nature Climate Change. The authors presented their results in greater detail in Katowice, Poland, on Dec. 5 at this year’s U.N. global climate summit, COP24. They focus on California as the possible next addition to this growing list of governments choosing to forego oil extraction. The study finds numerous benefits to restricting produc-

tion, including not only reducing global emissions but also helping to revoke the “social license” of fossil fuel producers — the public acceptance of their activities. “Countries like France, New Zealand, Costa Rica, Belize and — just last week — Spain are sending a clear signal by phasing out oil production,” said Georgia Piggot, an SEI sociologist and co-author of the study. “The fossil fuel era needs to end soon, and governments need to have clear plans in place to ensure an orderly and fair transition.” With California as a case study, the SEI report points to a resolution by the state’s Air Resources Board to “evaluate and explore” reducing the production of petroleum.

Boosting environmental justice The report finds that phasing out oil in California would reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by roughly the same amount as many of the other climate policies currently planned by the state. And, because most oil drilling there happens in the most pollution-vulnerable communities, phasing it out would have important environmental justice benefits as well. “Gradually phasing down oil production is a reasonable approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions,” said SEI Senior Scientist Peter Erickson, the study’s lead author. “California is one of the top oil-producing states in the U.S., but it is also a climate leader. Restricting oil production would complement the state’s flagship policies, such as strengthened standards for clean power or energy efficiency.” The study’s lessons apply to other states too.

It concludes that governments that aim to demonstrate leadership and meet the Paris Agreement goals have “a number of policy options that can limit future production of oil and other fossil fuels, while delivering important global emissions and local environmental benefits.”

Limiting temperature rise The Paris Agreement settled on a target that global temperatures should increase by no more than 2 degrees Celsius above their pre-industrial levels, with governments striving to keep the rise to just 1.5 degrees. Erickson told the Climate News Network that the scenarios published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) with its recent report “Global Warming of 1.5 degrees C” provided guideposts to the SEI’s work. He said: “The median results of those scenarios suggest that global oil production (and consumption) needs to decline more than 40 percent between 2020 and 2030 to meet a 1.5 degree target, global coal production (and consumption) more than 80 percent, and global gas production (and consumption) by more than 40 percent (the declines are rather less for meeting a 2 degrees goal). “These declines could be accomplished most effectively with both demand and supply-side measures. That is our central point — that limiting fossil fuel production is an important complement to limiting demand.” This story originally ran on Climate News Network.

The Amazing Sex Secret of 78 Year-Old ‘Italian Stallion’ “My husband shocked me with more sexual passion than he’s had in years. He took me in the bedroom like we were newlyweds and gave me a night I’ll never forget”

The Inside Story on Great Sex! This week I got a letter from a reader about a “little secret” that has made her sex life with her husband absolutely explosive! (Those Texas women are spicy!) Tina writes: Dear Karen, For years my husband and I had a great love life. He was sexy, passionate and so confident. But when he reached his 50s, he started to struggle with getting and keeping an erection. The few times we did have sex, his erection was definitely softer, leaving us both unsatisfied. He tried every product out there; prescriptions, creams, testosterone, male enhancement pills… but nothing worked. I know this is terrible, but I found myself thinking “My strong, passionate husband has become a sexual weakling.” I had no idea it would all turn around in just 3 weeks! Last month, he came home from a business trip in Europe and shocked me with more sexual energy and passion than he’s had in years. Hard as a rock, he tossed me around the bedroom like we were newlyweds’ and gave me a night I’ll never forget! It was incredible and so exciting! He flat wore me out that night and it’s been like that ever since. His erections are so hard and powerful, they trigger the most intense, toe-curling ‘moments’ I’ve ever had! So here we are, enjoying the best sex of our lives… in our late-50’s! When I asked my husband what caused such a dramatic change, he said on his trip he stayed in a hotel room next to an Italian nutritionist and his wife. Through the walls, he heard them passionately making love every single night, and sometimes again in the morning. One afternoon, he saw the husband leave their room and he couldn’t believe it. The man looked much too old to be having so much sex.

My husband couldn’t help himself, so he asked the man his secret. The nutritionist smiled, introduced himself as Vito, and told my husband he was 78 years old, his wife 65, and that after 32 years of marriage, their sex life was as good as ever. Then he took a small pack of tablets from his satchel, gave it to my husband, and said “These come from a small town up north and are made from naturally pure plant extracts, packed with densely rich sexual nutrients. They will give you back the sexdrive you had when you were young, and make you harder than you can imagine.” Then he laughed and said, “You’ll become an Italian Stallion like me!”

extracts found along the Baltic Sea. Finely ground and pressed into tablets, Provarin has a legendary reputation throughout the European sexual underground for naturally fueling extremely hard erections, and a powerful climax. As Giovanni from Amsterdam put it, “It's like sexual rocket fuel, especially for us older guys!” The best part from a woman’s perspective, as you well know, is that the extreme hardness and ongoing power is enough to send us over the blissful edge! I found out about Provarin a few years ago when I was dating a cowboy from Wyoming. He took Provarin every morning and believe me, that good ol’ boy sure rocked my nights!

Italian Stallion is right! These past several weeks have been a dream. My husband's desire for me is through the roof. He takes me whenever he wants, and he even wakes up most days with a ‘morning salute’ like All-natural and safe to take, Provarin he did years ago. I love it! He’s a sexual powerhouse, beaming with confidence, is still a well-kept secret for those in the know and they like to keep it that way. and our marriage is stronger than ever.

‘Dior: From Paris to the World’ chronicles the work of the famed fashion house from its founder, Christian Dior (pictured left, draping fabric over model Sylvie, 1948), to the present-day designers who continue to evolve the brand with the demands of the times.

‘Dior: From Paris to the World’ traces the legacy of the iconic fashion house by Amanda Moutinho

t’s not surprising that fashion was low on the list of priorities during World War II. Supplies were limited and all efforts were directed toward the war. Even in the fashion capital of the world, many Parisian fashion houses closed their doors. After the war ended, it took time for Europe to recover. In 1947, styles had stalled as if the trends were stuck in years past. “There was a need for something new to happen, a new style that could fit with the moment,” says Florence Müller,

textile art and fashion curator at the Denver Art Museum. “In Europe, it was a moment of rebuilding the cities, rebuilding from the devastation of the war.” Enter, Christian Dior. On Feb. 12, 1947, Christian Dior debuted his first collection, which immediately achieved worldwide success. Replacing the masculine silhouettes of the previous years, he reintroduced femininity, elegance and glamour into the world of fashion. Moreover, his clothes brought a new vision of abundance to the post-war world.

“It was a message of hope and happiness and belief in a beautiful future,” Müller says. Christian Dior and his lasting legacy are the subject of the new exhibit at the Denver Art Museum, showing through March 3. Dior: From Paris to the World follows the beginnings of the brand to its modern iteration. It takes an in-depth look at Christian Dior and all the fashion house’s designers who followed, including Yves Saint Laurent, John Galliano, all the way up the current head of house, Maria Grazia Chiuri. The show features close to 200 outfits, not including shoes, accessories, makeup and the multiple iconic fashion photographs of the brand through the years. As co-curator of the show, this isn’t Müller’s first foray into the world of Dior. She has worked on more than 15 see DIOR Page 24

shows about the fashion house and its designers exhibited around the world. For Müller, the draw is the grandiosity of the story — Christian Dior achieved a feat no one ever had before, she says. In 1947, he found instant, global success, and he went on to define the trends and silhouettes of the 1950s. Despite meeting an early death in 1957 at the age of 52, he was succeed by a string of designers who have continued to uphold the brand for decades. “It’s perhaps one of the only couture houses with a 70-year history without any gaps or weak ©Laziz Hamani moments. I see it as a major history,” Müller says. “The house has an influence on fashion not only in Paris but around the world. It’s a story of creation, invention, cutting edge and also being involved in the fashion of everyday life and what women like to wear. It’s a house that really was able to balance creativity and real life and the real needs of people over 70 years.” Femininity really encapsulates the Dior brand. Challenging the boxy, heavy, military-like style of the ’40s, Christian Dior reintroduced the silhouette of the female body. He accentuated the breasts, waist and hips, drawing inspiration for his shapes from his garden, calling the style “flower-woman.” The 1947 collection was dubbed the “New Look” by Harper’s Bazaar, and it set the precedent for the next era of fashion. But Christian Dior didn’t only use feminine attributes to highlight women’s bodies. He also incorporated masculine aspects — such as strong lines and traditionally male-worn fabrics like houndstooth — into his designs.

“The shape of the garment was inventive — the vision of an architect. It was one of the jobs he wanted to do when he was young and he was really able to achieve this architectural vision in the garments,” Müller says. “They are very well constructed, very well built structures, with elaborate building processes. He was really an architect of fabric.” These early roots set the stage for the designers who spearheaded the company after Christian Dior’s death. The six designers who have followed in his footsteps each brought their own vision, some with a desire to push the envelope and others who stayed true to the demands of the time. The exhibit follows the evolution of Dior throughout the different designers and decades. There is an obvious ebb and flow to the aesthetic, an expansion into extravagance and then a contraction into austerity, all while continuing the story of the brand. The first to follow Christian Dior was Yves Saint Laurent, who took over Dior at the age of 21 and was dubbed the “Little Prince” of fashion. His reign only lasted two years, but in that time Laurent used Dior to break new ground, introducing new shapes that captured the spirit of the early ’60s. Laurent was the pioneer of fashion as freedom, Müller says His two-year stint was succeeded by Marc Bohan (who ran the house from 1961-89). Bohan was interested in interpreting the energy of the time. Straying away from the cutting edge, Bohan focused on more wearable designs. Then Italian Gianfranco Ferré took over until Boulder Weekly

1996, bringing a post-modern view to the brand. As a trained architect, Ferré continued the tradition of strong lines and intricate construction. From 1997 to 2011, British designer John Galliano headed the fashion house. As one of the most prominent designers of the last 25 years, Galliano’s fit at Dior was questioned at first. “People had doubts about [Galliano] running this house,” Müller says. “This house is seen as a church of Parisian couture. But it was clear when [Galliano] started that he was able to mix his love for eccentricity with the love of theater, which Christian Dior loved. Before he was a couturier, [Christian Dior] was a costume designer for the theater and cinema. “Galliano was going back to this in a very extravagant manner, pushing the limits of what you can do with the shape of the body,” Müller continues. “He wanted to create a lot of fantasy, fairy tale. When you look at some of the dresses in the exhibit, you don’t know how someone would have worn them. It belongs to the world of imagination.” After over-the-top Galliano, Raf Simons took Dior down a more minimalist path. From 2012-2015, he referenced the roots of the fashion house, going back to Christian Dior’s inspirations from nature and the interplay between masculine and feminine. In 2016, Dior appointed its first female designer, Maria Grazia Chiuri, who is the current head of the brand. Chiuri also continues Dior’s tradition of femininity, but focuses on what that looks like in today’s world. Her designs include a dress embroidered with metallic-sequined breasts and a T-shirt reading, “We should all be feminists.” “She [is] inspired by the contemporary woman, young women, mature women, how they’re dealing with femininity today,” Müller says. “She’s offering her vision to every woman, with the notion of wearability, but also some room for dreams and fancy things. “In the exhibit we have several evening gowns — she’s in tune with the fact that Dior wanted to turn women into princesses, but in a modern way. ... You can wear them with sneakers. You can remove your stilettos,” Müller says with a laugh. Over 70 years, Dior has remained relevant in the fashion world, a feat Müller credits to the brand’s constant reinvention. “It’s this ability to renew itself based on the foundation and the history through very famous designers who were also challenging the fashion Boulder Weekly

world,” she says. “The difference from Dior and the other houses is its ability to renew its image.” From the infusing the dreary postWorld War II era with hope to pairing sneakers with evening gowns, Dior’s image continues to evolve with the demands of the times.

s Billy Squier so sweetly sang, “Christmas is the time to say ‘I love you.’” As Christmas is coming up on us faster than a distracted trucker behind schedule to deliver her last trailer-load of Amazon orders before the holidays, it seems only appropriate that I proclaim my love for BETC, the Boulder Ensemble Theatre Company. Don’t worry; this isn’t going to be one of those takeoffs on “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” Although, there are at least a dozen ways that BETC stands head and shoulders above its peers. Founded and led by Stephen Weitz and his better half, Rebecca Remaly, BETC is comprised of actors, directors, producers and crew members who live, eat and breathe theater. BETC may not be the biggest company or have the most resources, but it punches above its weight with every production. Now in its 13th season, BETC has, in my experience, never put on a bad show. That’s not just incredible, it’s damn near impossible. BETC’s latest early Christmas gift to theater-lovers could very well become a new holiday classic. While there’s everything to love about Boulder’s and Denver’s annual productions of A Christmas Carol, The Nutcracker, The Santaland Diaries, and even Santa’s Big Red Sack, the slate of Christmas standards can always use new additions. With its overabundance of intelligence, playfulness and emotional heft, Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley deserves to join the ranks of the perennial December favorites. A sequel of sorts to Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley presents a gathering of (most of ) the Bennet sisters on a Christmas sometime soon after the events of the original book. Lizzie Bennet, now Elizabeth Darcy (MacKenzie Beyer) and her husband, Fitzwilliam Darcy (Rodney Lizcano), play host at their estate, Pemberley. Elizabeth’s older sister, Jane (Eva Balistrieri) and her husband, Charles Bingley ( Jihad Milhem), are thrilled to be expecting their first child. Youngest sister, Lydia (Shannon Altner), the one who married George Wickham, arrives sans George and is, as many “baby” siblings can be, a bit of a selfinfatuated, attention-seeking handful. Mary (Adeline Mann), the middle Bennet sister and the only one still single, is asor-more-at-home with books and maps than she is with other human beings.

enced but does not make an appearance. Sorry all you Team Kitty members. In addition to Elizabeth’s sisters, a recently minted, young lord, Arthur de Bourgh (Ben Griffin), finds his way to the Pemberley hearth for the holidays. A bookish, socially awkward lad, Arthur appears to be the Sheldon Cooper to Mary’s Amy Farrah Fowler. Sure enough, sparks fly when they first meet, and soon enough these two hyper-intelligent people are struggling to put pen to paper to express their burgeoning love to one another. Difficulties, of course, set in. Misunderstandings occur. Farcical circumstances intervene, at one point even being called out as such by the characters themselves. Will Mary and Arthur end up together, Hallmark holiday movie style, or will the play take a more Grinchian turn? You’ll just have to see for yourself, because I’d sooner find a lump of coal in my stocking than spoil such an entertaining night at the theater. As one would expect and desire, the leads, Mann and Griffin, anchor Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley. Mann’s portrayal of middle-child Mary is perfectly nuanced. She gives us a Mary equally strong, smart and vulnerable. Griffin matches her scene for scene, which is no easy feat. Arthur could easily be played in a very one-note fashion, but Griffin delivers a layered performance. In what amount to supporting roles, Beyer and Lizcano light up the stage every minute they’re on it. Having opened Season 13 with an adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, BETC’s decision to produce Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley in the same season was a bold stroke of genius. The two plays complement each other in a uniquely unusual and satisfying way. Even if you didn’t catch the earlier play or, frankly, aren’t a fan of Austen’s source material, if you love theater or the holidays or love, you will enjoy the fun-filled, feels-fest that is Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley.

JonBenet’s Tricycle

Live eTown Radio Show Taping — with Gregory Alan Isakov, Rayland Baxter.

7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 13, Boulder Public Library, Canyon Theater, 1001 Arapahoe Ave., Boulder, 303-441-3197. Colorado native Andrew Novic saves everything: toys, dolls, photos, T-shirts, bizarrely flavored packaged food; you name it, he’s probably got it. Including JonBenét Ramsay’s — yes, that JonBenét Ramsay’s — tricycle. How did such an item come to him and what did he do with it? Well, that’s the story of JonBenet’s Tricycle, a documentary directed by Novic and produced by Theresa Mercado. JonBenet’s Tricycle debuted at the 39th Denver Film Festival in 2016 and now rolls into the Boulder Public Library for a free screening on Dec. 13. Seating is first come, first served. Visit jonbenetstricycle.com for info.

Boulder Weekly

7 p.m. Monday, Dec. 17, eTown Hall, 1535 Spruce St., Boulder, 303-443-8696.

The Snow Queen Dance Theatre Production. 6 p.m. Friday, Dec. 14, Arts Hub, 420 Courtney Way, Lafayette. More performances through Dec. 16. The Snow Queen is often regarded as Hans Christian Andersen’s finest work, first published on Dec. 21, 1844. In this fantastical coming-of-age adventure, a bright, precocious girl named Gerda must save her best friend, Kai, before he is trapped forever in the Snow Queen’s palace. The Arts HUB will delight audiences with a fully staged production with a professional set, costumes and lights. More information and tickets at artunder.org.

Boulderites are familiar Rebecca Caridad with farmer/troubadour Gregory Alan Isakov, a local hero who’s performed alongside acts like Iron & Wine, Ani DiFranco, Brandi Carlile and Nathaniel Rateliff. Isakov’s newest album, Evening Machines, is filled with dark indie rock and folk tunes that helped him cope with a recent onset of anxiety. Joining Isakov is Kentucky-born, Nashville-bred Rayland Baxter, whose songwriting captures timeless, deeply human sentiments and brings colorful characters to life with humor and pathos. Tickets are $35 at etown.org.

GIVE GIFTS OF COMFORT & WARMTH

Anarchy in the U.K.

It’s politics as usual in ‘The Favourite’ by Michael J. Casey

he year is 1708 and Britain is at war with France. Queen Anne (Olivia Colman) is ON THE BILL: The ill and prefers to spend her days hidden Favourite. Century away in her quarters, stuffing her face Theater, 1700 29th St., Boulder, 303-444-0583. with sweets until she vomits. In her absence, the act of running the kingdom rests on the capable shoulders of the Duchess of Marlborough, Sarah Churchill (Rachel Weisz), Queen Anne’s closest friend, strongest ally and secret lover. Or maybe their love isn’t so secret. Servants aren’t allowed to say much, but surely they suspect something. Enter Abigail Hall (Emma Stone), Sarah’s cousin from a good family who fell from grace when Abigail’s father lost her in a game of Whist. Seeking employment, Abigail arrives at Anne’s estate stinking to high hell and covered head-totoe in human filth. The world has not been kind to Abigail, and she has nowhere to go but up. Sarah better guard herself, in her position she has little to gain and much to lose. Let the fun begin. Written by Deborah Davis, with additional work from Tony MacNamara, The Favourite is a pitch-perfect power struggle between three women, two political parties and one suitor. And with its core story rooted in historical events, the parallels to the modern day make The Favourite all the more entertaining. Nothing here is subtle; everything is exaggerated. At the heart of laughout-loud The Favourite, From the high-school hysterics of the three leads to is the eternal conflict of power and how one the men prancing around in powdered wigs and pancake makeup. There’s even a duck race, won, of grasps it. course, by “the fastest duck in town.” If The Favourite sounds like a trifle, a drawing room comedy filled with spoiled brats, rest assured it isn’t — director Yorgos Lantimos balances absurdity with pathos, deftly moving between the two without tipping too far in either direction. In one scene, Anne tells Abigail about the rabbits she keeps in her room — 17 in all, one for every child she lost in childbirth. In another scene, Abigail returns the honesty, telling Anne about the horrors of being a woman traded in a card game; a fate Sarah tastes when Abigail momentarily gains the upper hand in their constant struggle for queen bee supremacy. Yes, these women treat each other cruelly, but only because the world has taught them so well. Thankfully, The Favourite is funny, laugh out loud so. If it weren’t, it would be unbearable. All three leads — Colman, Weisz, Stone — are at the top of their game, as is the supporting cast, led by Nicholas Hoult as Robert Harley, the leader of the Tory party and a constant thorn in Sarah’s side. But at the heart of The Favourite is the eternal conflict of power and how one grasps it. Power is as fickle as it is amorphous. Sure, some may have it now, but they won’t forever. And, like all good things, the end comes much quicker than those in control could ever suspect, or want — a happy sentiment should the thought of another petty tyrant stuffing his face with sweets cross your mind as you watch. Funny how these things resonate. Boulder Weekly

Four courses to try in and around Boulder County this week

menu THE TASTING

The Med 1002 Walnut St., Boulder. themedboulder.com

Roast Duck Wonton Noodle Soup Zoe Ma Ma 2010 10th St., Boulder, zoemama.com

trip to Zoe Ma Ma is a treat any time of the year, but the chill of winter makes the Chinese street food at this intimate noodle house something extra special. If you happen to drop in on a Friday, try Zoe Ma Ma’s daily special, the roast duck wonton noodle soup. Chunks of crispy-skinned sweet and savory roast duck create the perfect foil for delicate pork wonton dumplings and rice noodles, all marinating in a rich duck broth. Bok choy adds a mildly peppery flavor and a bit of texture. A perfect soup for a perfect winter day. $14.71.

OAK at fourteenth 1400 Pearl St., Boulder, oakatfourteenth.com

Spanakopita Photos by staff

Chicken and Shiitake Ramen

he Med is known for its long list of Mediterranean tapas, enjoyed as appetizers or combined to create a full meal. A classic go-to, the spanakopita comes as an individual triangle of zesty Greek flavors. Warm, flaky phyllo dough is filled with tangy feta and fresh spinach. It’s best with fresh lemon squeezed on top and dipped in the accompanying tzatziki, a Greek yogurt dip with garlic, cucumber and, well, more lemon. Whether you want a pre-dinner treat, or a combo meal with The Med’s falafel, olives, tabbouleh and hummus, get the spanakopita. $4.95.

nly at OAK can you have a lunch that starts with fried pickles, moves on to steaming ramen and ends with a glazed cherry doughnut. And not only can you get all that variety, but it’s affordably priced and expertly executed. Take the ramen, for instance. Two hulking cuts of pork belly rest atop a powerfully flavored broth, filled with steamed bok choy and some pretty unbelievable maitake mushrooms. The pork belly is unctuous and savory, the mushrooms are earthy and rich in umami, the bok choy is pleasantly bitter, the broth is salty, and the housemade sriracha brought just enough acid, heat and sweetness. A great dish. $15.

Spruce Tip IPA Upslope Brewing Company 1898 S. Flatiron Court and 1501 Lee Hill Drive, Boulder, upslopebrewing.com

h, you have to try this beer. Where other brewers cheekily add in spruce tips to dense IPAs and holiday beers, Upslope puts the piney treats on a pedestal. The spruce tips are hand-picked in Colorado and added fresh to a brew loaded with American malt, Cascade and Simcoe hops. It’s the Simcoe hops that help amplify the piney flavor, the Cascade that brings a pleasant amount of citrus, and the malt that helps marry those flavors into something you’ll actually enjoy. Prices vary.

Simmer down and learn how to make the best ingredient ever

here is a giant bag of ice cubes in my freezer. It makes me very happy. I don’t put these frigid gems in ice water, iced tea or mingle them with fine singlemalt Scotch over rocks, because it would be weird. This is a two-gallon, zippered bag crammed full of gorgeous, yellowish units of frozen turkey stock I made after Thanksgiving. It was free, made from something many people toss away. I’ve used a couple of stock cubes to upgrade sautéed zucchini, cook various grains and meats, and enhance spicy noodle soups. I’ve added them to marinara sauce and simmered cubes with fresh ginger, garlic, lemon and chilies to create a cold-fighting potion. Learning how to make stock and broth is the one essential kitchen skill I wish every home cook acquired because you get to cook tastier food, save a lot of money and eat a whole lot healthier.

ramen, Vietnamese pho, French onion soup and many of the world’s tastiest dishes. “Stock” is a sibling of “broth” but you’ll hear them used interchangeably. Stock — whether beef, chicken or pork — is made with various bony leftover animal parts. Broth tends to be much lighter and made mostly from meat with a lighter color and a less rich texture. Vegetable stock is a separate and valuable liquid. I love subtly cheesy Parmesan broth, made by simmering the hard rinds surrounding genuine Parmesan, when making rice. Bouillon cubes are a lousy substitute, as is most canned broth. You can look up the many health benefits of stocks and broths, easy-todigest sources of amino acids and minerals that can protect your joints.

People get their bone broth prescriptions filled at Boulder’s Blackbelly Market. Local medical professionals are known to advise them to drink bone broth for the sake of their aching joints and general health. “We sell a lot of it hot by the cup and the quart. We also make a no-bone collagen broth using tendons that is very popular with athletes,” says Nate Singer, head butcher at Boulder’s Blackbelly Market. In the process of butchering whole animals to supply the market and Hosea Rosenberg’s Blackbelly restaurant, Singer ends up with a lot of bone, cartilage and other parts that he turns into broth. “First, you roast the bones. It’s the start of a four- or five-day process. You add veggies and simmer it for 48 hours. It’s filtered, then we let it settle and it congeals,” Singer says. To make a great broth you need different parts of the animal, according to Singer. “We use the hooves, which have a lot of gelatin, also knuckles and ribs. Every bone adds different attributes to the broth,” he says. Singer also produces aspic from hogs’ feet and shanks. Call it savory Jell-O). “We use the aspic in sausage and meatballs and it adds a lot of flavor,” Singer says.

How to invest in stocks

A good stock starts with adopting a strict zero-waste policy. For meat stocks, use bones, including the carcass of that rotisserie chicken you picked up at the supermarket. You use the cheapest possible cuts of any meat to make stock. Fish and seafood broth uses shells and bones. Put bones, chewy stew meat, scraps, fat trimmings as well as carrots and onions in a pan big enough that there’s room around the pieces. Roast them at 375 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour until browned. Take them out and put them in a deep stock pot with celery, carrot and water (or use vegetable broth instead of water). Meanwhile, put the roasting pan on the stove and add veggie stock or water and slowly dissolve the brown, caramelized bits and pour that into the stock pot. Do not add salt. If you simmer and reduce the broth it may get too salty. Simmer for three to six (or more) hours. When cool, strain. Use a coffee filter if you want a clearer stock. Cool. If not being used soon, freeze the extras, preferably in an ice cube tray.

Skip the bell peppers... and the greens

For vegetable stock, you want those vegetable odds and ends: wilted, chewy green parts, the peeling and trimmed pieces, celery bottoms, onions skins, and mushroom stems. You save this ugly stuff until you have enough to make veggie or other stocks. Certain vegetables are preferred for their neutrality, especially the holy trinity mirepoix of carrots, celery and onions. Also: mushrooms, leeks and an occasional tomato top. Bring the vegetables to a boil in a

big pot with plenty of water and then reduce to a simmer over very low heat and cook for about 60 minutes. Cool and strain. Equally important is what you do not use. Don’t add garlic, summer or winter squash, bell pepper or chilies, most herbs and other strong spices. Greens and green beans get bitter and potatoes cloud the stock. That said, I sometimes save that Blackbelly’s head water from boiling butcher, Nate potatoes to use in Singer, prepares various cuts of making stews and meat. soups that need some creaminess. Zerowaste policy rules. Comments: nibbles@boulderweekly.com

Taste of the week

I’ve become excessively fond of the salty, super crunchy Boulder-made Quinn’s Pretzels, especially the Deli Rye Style Rods spiked with caraway seeds. This is a non-GMO, gluten-free junk food made with sorghum, brown rice and cassava by Boulder’s Quinn’s Snacks. They don’t taste gluten-free or whole-grainy, just good.

Words to chew on

“It’s not like in the 1960s when whole grain was like eating a hockey puck. Do we really need more white bread in our schools?” —Ann Cooper, food service director for Boulder Valley Schools, quoted in the New York Times, on the Trump administration’s rollback of school lunch nutritional upgrades.

drink Tour de Brew: Oskar Blues Boulder taproom CANarchy on Pearl Street by Michael J. Casey

he Oskar Blues Brewery certainly has come a long way since Dale Katechis opened the door to his Oskar Blues Grill & Brew in Lyons back in 1997. From Lyons, Oskar Blues expanded to Longmont with their Tasty Weasel location, followed by additional breweries in Brevard, North Carolina, and Austin, Texas, extending their craft-beer-in-a-can mentality to all 50 states. And along the way, they joined a portfolio of like-minded brewers dubbed “The CANarchy Collective.” Partially funded by the Boston-based Fireman Capital Partners, CANarchy aims to disrupt the craft acquisition game Anheuser-Busch InBev has been playing since 2011. Formed in 2015, the CANarchy Collective is home to seven brewing brands — Oskar Blues; Perrin Brewing Company from Grand Rapids, Michigan; Cigar City Brewing from Tampa, Florida; Squatter’s Craft Beer and Wasatch Brewery, both from Salt Lake City, Utah; Deep Ellum Brewing Company from Dallas, Texas; and Three Weavers Brewing Company from Los Angeles, California Courtesy of Oskar Blues — bringing the CANarchy total to 10 brewing locations and 17 taprooms and restaurants. This past November, the industry trade publication Brewbound named the CANarchy Collective “Craft Brewery of the Year.” Spectacular news for the Boulder faithful, as the recently opened Oskar Blues Boulder Taproom on Pearl Street features plenty of those CANarchy offerings on its wall of more than 20 taps. The CANarchy Collective is attempting But drinking your way through OB’s Boulder tapto disrupt the acquisiroom will be no easy feat. In addition to their core tion of craft breweries by large brewing brands and the CANarchy Collective offerings, the companies. taproom also features hookups from far-flung fellow crafters — currently Delaware’s Dogfish Head Brewery has five beers on tap — as well as OB’s Barn Burner Series: a highly limited quantity of weekly releases brewed in a 100-yearold barn located in the Lyons brewery’s backyard. These beers tap on Thursdays and go fast — last week’s Long Live the Thing English brown ale was kicked the following Monday. But if new is your thing, OB has you covered. Their “Let us help you help us get the newest beers pouring” list comprises four or so brand-new brews, each priced at $3 a pint. Lately, they have been rolling out a series of S.M.a.S.H (Single Malt and Single Hop) IPAs they call Interstate SMaSH Express. These beers allow you to identify what exactly you like, or don’t, about each particular hop. Like tropical fruit and pinot gris? Give the Interstate SMaSH Express: Enigma a try. Want something darker? OB has one of the best imperial stouts you’ll find around town this holiday season: Santa’s Beer Breath. Using their Ten FIDY — a big, robust imperial stout — as the base, OB adds in cocoa and peppermint to the brew before aging it in bourbon barrels. It’s an enormous beer — 12.9 percent alcohol by volume, perfect to warm you up from the inside out — but it’s also sweet and creamy, and the peppermint works surprisingly well as a refresher. Grab a stovepipe can (19.2 ounces) and bring it to your next holiday shindig — you’ll be the hit of the party. Boulder Weekly

Samantha and Craig Cordts-Pearce opened Steakhouse No. 316 in the old Conor O’Neill’s location in Boulder.

A moveable feast

After 10 restaurant launches and a globe-trotting life, Craig and Samantha Cordts-Pearce make a new home in Boulder by Matt Cortina

48 December 13 , 2018

y friend had a postcard that said, ‘Come to Aspen,’ and I said, ‘Well, OK,’” says Craig CordtsPearce. Cordts-Pearce had nothing to lose. After working nearly every day in a London restaurant, picking up extra shifts to earn, and save, more cash, he had come home from work one evening to find all his money had been stolen from his bag in the hostel at which he was living. So he went immediately to Heathrow airport, and with the money in his pocket, bought a ticket to the U.S. “I didn’t even look back,” he says. Cordts-Pearce took a Greyhound bus from New York City to Chicago, then hitchhiked from Chicago to Apsen, to meet up with the friend that had sent him the postcard. He got a job changing bed linens three days a week in exchange for room and board at a hotel, and started working in a restaurant. “I connected with an Italian guy named Luigi, and I started with him [at his Aspen restaurant],” Cordts-Pearce says. “I just loved it and loved learning. I was a sponge. Started washing dishes and bussing tables and food-running. Eventually worked my way up to GM of that restaurant.” Cordts-Pearce says no less than a dozen

times in our conversation at Steakhouse No. 316, which opened in the old Conor O’Neill’s building on Dec. 7, that he loves restaurants. He loves designing them, renovating them, opening them, meeting new people in them, and serving those people. He and his wife, Samantha, have opened 10 restaurants in the last 15 years, several in Aspen. Craig and Samantha, who themselves met in a restaurant, are most comfortable, it seems, when they’re moving. “Life is really short,” Craig says. “I really believe you have to live your life to have a life. Or you can be scared and not do this or that and be boring. You’re still waiting tables, you didn’t take a risk and one day you wake up and say, ‘Shit, I’m 50. What?’ I think you’ve got to go for it.” Samantha says, “We want to travel the world,” in a list of things owning their own business affords them. “If we don’t do it ourselves, nobody’s going to give it to us.” That’s been the case their entire lives. Craig grew up in a poor family in South Africa and served in the country’s Air Force before feeling the urge to leave and explore. “I don’t know what it was, I just had this urge to just go, go to Italy, go to Europe... just go. It was addictive to me,” Craig says. “I wasn’t ready to say, ‘I’m going home now.’ That was being defeated. I

didn’t want to be defeated.” So that’s how he ended up in Aspen with $40 and a now useless ticket from London to South Africa in his pocket. After getting his feet on the ground in Aspen, he met and married Samantha, and the two decided to “see if we can make this work for ourselves,” Craig says, by opening a restaurant. It was not an ideal time — Samantha would deliver their first child during the restaurant’s planning stages — and not an ideal location — it was one of those buildings that had a revolving door of owners and failed restaurants before it. It was no bother to the couple. “Our son was six months old, and I remember I was painting the trellis. We have this 1970 Toyota Land Cruiser,” Craig says. “We still have it,” Samantha says. “And Samantha is breast-feeding [our son], and I’m painting and looking down at her, and someone walks by and says, ‘I wonder how long that restaurant will last,’ and I said, ‘What the hell am I doing?’” Craig says. That restaurant, The Wild Fig, in Aspen, is celebrating 15 years in business this month. So they made it work. And then they launched more and more restaurants, in Aspen, in Florida, in New York, and now in Boulder. Over the years, they’ve figured out how to create restaurants of which they can be proud. Craig handles design and construction — he literally refurbished the floors of the new Boulder restaurant with his own hands — while Samantha handles the business and day-to-day operations of their restaurants. But they both have a knack for creating atmosphere. Walk into Steakhouse No. 316 in Boulder and you’ll be transported to what feels like a big-city coastal steakhouse, with boldly upholstered dining booths, framed photos of international figures and landmarks, gigantic floral arrangements, dark and beautiful molding, and jazz standards on the stereo system that rise in volume as the evening’s diners drink more and more Manhattans and martinis. That’s by design, and it’s a unique reflection of the globe-spanning interests and careers of the Cordts-Pearces. “The first thing I do,” Craig says of walking into one of his restaurants, “is I touch the lights and the music when I walk in, and the managers freak out. But it’s those little touches, the attention to detail, that just grab you.” “Everyone will tell you this is the way we’re wired,” Samantha adds. The details of Steakhouse No. 316 include a classic steakhouse menu that reaches people of all culinary sensibilities — you can get the big, hulking steak, sure, but you can also get a fish sandwich, a pork tomahawk, raw oysters or sample from the vegetable-forward menu of side dishes. Craig and Samantha say they will be tweaking parts of the restaurant for several months, even while guests come in and get their first impressions of Steakhouse No. 316. Because if it’s true for anyone, it’s true for them: The journey is the destination. “For me, its all I know,” Craig says. “If you own your own business, you work 24 hours a day. There’s not enough time in the day to do your job if you own your business.” “But you wouldn’t be good at it if you didn’t love it,” Samantha says. Craig and Samantha will split time between Aspen, where their kids go to school, and Boulder, but home has long been moveable for them. Home is in the restaurant, and that, above all else, is what they hope to provide people at Steakhouse No. 316. “I know in my heart we do the best job we can,” Craig says. “We try to make every person feel at home. I want you to feel like you own the place. If we’ve done that, we’ve done our job.” Boulder Weekly

ARIES

MARCH 21-APRIL 19: In 1930, some British mys-

LIBRA

tery writers formed a club to provide each other with artistic support and conviviality. They swore an oath to write their stories so that solving crimes happened solely through the wits of their fictional detectives, and not through “Divine Revelation, Feminine Intuition, Mumbo Jumbo, Jiggery-Pokery or Act of God.” I understand that principle, but don’t endorse it for your use in the coming weeks. On the contrary. I hope you’ll be on the alert and receptive to Divine Revelations, Feminine Intuition, Mumbo Jumbo, Jiggery-Pokery and Acts of God.

SEPT. 23-OCT. 22: Among the pieces of jewelry worn by superstar Elvis Presley were a Christian cross and a Star of David. “I don’t want to miss out on heaven due to a technicality,” he testified. In that spirit, and in accordance with astrological omens, I urge you, too, to cover all your bases in the coming weeks. Honor your important influences. Be extra nice to everyone who might have something to offer you in the future. Show your appreciation for those who have helped make you who you are. And be as open-minded and welcoming and multicultural as you can genuinely be. Your motto is “Embrace the rainbow.”

TAURUS

SCORPIO

APRIL 20-MAY 20: When you’re prescribed antibiotic

pills to fight off infection, you should finish the entire round. If you stop taking the meds partway through because you’re feeling better, you might enable a stronger version of the original infector to get a foothold in your system. This lesson provides an apt metaphor for a process you’re now undergoing. As you seek to purge a certain unhelpful presence in your life, you must follow through to the end. Don’t get lax halfway through. Keep on cleansing yourself and shedding the unwanted influence beyond the time you’re sure you’re free of it.

GEMINI

MAY 21-JUNE 20: Danish scientist and poet Piet Hein

wrote this melancholy meditation: “Losing one glove is painful, but nothing compared to the pain of losing one, throwing away the other, and finding the first one again.” Let his words serve as a helpful warning to you, Gemini. If you lose one of your gloves, don’t immediately get rid of the second. Rather, be patient and await the eventual reappearance of the first. The same principle applies to other things that might temporarily go missing.

CANCER

JUNE 21-JULY 22: Cancerian author Elizabeth Gilbert

is a soulful observer whose prose entertains and illuminates me. She’s well aware of her own limitations, however. For example, she writes, “Every few years, I think, ‘Maybe now I’m finally smart enough or sophisticated enough to understand Ulysses. So I pick it up and try it again. And by page 10, as always, I’m like, ‘What the hell?’” Gilbert is referring to the renowned 20th-century novel, James Joyce’s masterwork. She just can’t appreciate it. I propose that you make her your inspirational role model in the coming weeks. Now is a favorable time to acknowledge and accept that there are certain good influences and interesting things that you will simply never be able to benefit from. And that’s OK!

LEO

JULY 23-AUG. 22: More than three centuries ago,

Dutch immigrants in New York ate a dessert known as the olykoek, or oily cake: sugar-sweetened dough deepfried in pig fat. It was the forerunner of the modern doughnut. One problem with the otherwise delectable snack was that the center wasn’t always fully cooked. In 1847, a man named Hanson Gregory finally found a solution. Using a pepper shaker, he punched a hole in the middle of the dough, thus launching the shape that has endured until today. I bring this to your attention because I suspect you’re at a comparable turning point. If all goes according to cosmic plan, you will discover a key innovation that makes a pretty good thing even better.

VIRGO

AUG. 23-SEPT. 22: I can’t believe I’m going to quote

pop star Selena Gomez. But according to my analysis of the current astrological omens, her simple, homespun advice could be especially helpful to you in the coming weeks. “Never look back,” she says. “If Cinderella had looked back and picked up the shoe, she would have never found her prince.” Just to be clear, Virgo, I’m not saying you’ll experience an adventure that has a plot akin to the Cinderella fairy tale. But I do expect you will benefit from a “loss” as long as you’re focused on what’s ahead of you rather than what’s behind you.

Boulder Weekly

OCT. 23-NOV. 21: Are you a gambling addict seeking power over your addiction? If you live in Michigan or Illinois, you can formally blacklist yourself from all casinos. Anytime your resolve wanes and you wander into a casino, you can be arrested and fined for trespassing. I invite you to consider a comparable approach as you work to free yourself from a bad habit or debilitating obsession. Enlist some help in enforcing your desire to refrain. Create an obstruction that will interfere with your ability to act on negative impulses.

SAGITTARIUS

NOV. 22-DEC. 21: “What is the point of being alive if

you don’t at least try to do something remarkable?” Author John Green asked that question. I confess that I’m not entirely comfortable with it. It’s a bit pushy. I find I’m more likely to do remarkable things if I’m not trying too hard to do remarkable things. Nevertheless, I offer it as one of your key themes for 2019. I suspect you will be so naturally inclined to do remarkable things that you won’t feel pressure to do so. Here’s my only advice: up the ante on your desire to be fully yourself; dream up new ways to give your most important gifts; explore all the possibilities of how you can express your soul’s code with vigor and rigor.

CAPRICORN

DEC. 22-JAN. 19: In the fairy tale “Goldilocks and

the Three Bears,” the heroine rejects both the options that are too puny and too excessive. She wisely decides that just enough is exactly right. I think she’s a good role model for you. After your time of feeling somewhat deprived, it would be understandable if you were tempted to crave too much and ask for too much and grab too much. It would be understandable, yes, but mistaken. For now, just enough is exactly right.

AQUARIUS

JAN. 20-FEB. 18: In 1140, two dynasties were at war

in Weinsberg, in what’s now southern Germany. Conrad III, leader of the Hohenstaufen dynasty, laid siege to the castle at Weinsberg, headquarters of the rival Welfs dynasty. Things went badly for the Welfs, and just before Conrad launched a final attack, they surrendered. With a last-minute touch of mercy, Conrad agreed to allow the women of the castle to flee in safety along with whatever possessions they could carry. The women had an ingenious response. They lifted their husbands onto their backs and hauled them away to freedom. Conrad tolerated the trick, saying he would stand by his promise. I foresee a metaphorically comparable opportunity arising for you, Aquarius. It won’t be a life-or-death situation like that of the Welfs, but it will resemble it in that your original thinking can lead you and yours to greater freedom.

PISCES

FEB. 19-MARCH 20: The National Center for Biotechnology Information reported on a 15-year-old boy who had the notion that he could make himself into a superhero. First he arranged to get bitten by many spiders in the hope of acquiring the powers of Spiderman. That didn’t work. Next, he injected mercury into his skin, theorizing it might give him talents comparable to the Marvel Comics mutant character named Mercury. As you strategize to build your power and clout in 2019, Pisces, I trust you won’t resort to questionable methods like those. You won’t need to! Your intuition should steadily guide you, providing precise information on how to proceed. And it all starts now.

SAVAGE by Dan Savage

Dear Dan: How can I explain to my sisters that although I am a free sexual woman, I still prefer men as sexual partners? My sisters are both involved with women and they cannot understand how, with all the awful sexual inequality in the world, I can still be primarily attracted to men. Sometimes I even imagine my sexuality as a gay man’s sexuality in a woman’s body, and I try to explain it to them in this way. I’m not a secret right-winger or someone kidding around by asking this question. This is a real issue. —Give It To Me Straight P.S. I have a straight male friend who says he’s a lesbian trapped in a man’s body. What do you think of this? Dear GITMS: People don’t choose to be straight — some poor motherfuckers are born that way — any more than hetero-romantic bisexuals choose to be hetero-romantic bisexuals. You can’t help who you’re attracted to, GITMS, primarily or otherwise, and the contempt of family members can’t change a person’s sexual or romantic orientation. Your sisters should understand that, since they most likely wouldn’t be with women if the contempt of family members had that kind of power. As for describing yourself as a gay man trapped in a woman’s body and your straight male friend describing himself as a lesbian trapped in a man’s body... Unless the two of you are trans — in which case, you could be homos trapped in the wrong bodies — your friend is just another straight guy mortified by the mess straight people (mostly white, mostly men) have made of the world. You’re also mortified by straightness, GITMS, or at least the sexual inequality that often comes bundled with it. But instead of your straight male friend opting out of heterosexuality (which he can’t do) or you framing your attraction to men as a gay thing to get your sisters off your back (which you shouldn’t have to do), your friend should identify as straight (because he is) and you should identify as someone who doesn’t give a shit what her sisters think (because you shouldn’t). If good straight guys and “free sexual women” in opposite-sex relationships don’t identify with heterosexuality and/or hetero-romantic orientations, GITMS, all the shitty straight people will conclude that they get to define heterosexuality (which they don’t). Dear Dan: I’m a gay man in my mid20s, and I’m getting more serious with a guy I met a few months ago. I was surprised to eventually learn that “Michael” is in his late 30s, since he easily passes for my age. I’m comfortable with the age gap, but I’m strugBoulder Weekly

Love

gling with how to present this to my parents. Religious and conservative, they were cordial but distant with the last guy I dated (who was my age). I’m afraid the age gap with my new boyfriend will create even more discomfort for them and that Michael will sense it when he comes along to visit for the holidays. I’m considering lying to my parents if Michael’s age comes up. I’ve challenged my parents’ attitudes for many years — but at this point, I’m willing to trade honesty for the chance to be treated even a little bit more like a “normal couple” at Christmas. Is it selfish to ask Michael for permission to lie about his age? I’m nervous to even share my feelings with him, for fear it will give the impression I’m embarrassed by him. —Awkward Gatherings Expected Given Age Peculiarity Dear AGEGAP: Tell one lie to make your relationship seem more acceptable to your parents, and you’ll be tempted to tell them more lies — and I don’t know about you, AGEGAP, but not having to lie to mommy and daddy anymore was one of the reasons I came out of the closet. And if you want your parents to be comfortable with Michael, if you don’t want them to think there’s anything wrong with their son dating an older man, deceiving your parents about Michael’s age is a terrible first move. That says you think there’s something wrong with it — and you won’t just be saying that to your parents, AGEGAP, you’ll be saying it to Michael as well. And let’s say things work out with Michael. The lie you told that first Christmas will only serve to make things more awkward after you finally tell them the truth about your boyfriend’s age. And if your parents are like other mildly or wildly homophobic parents, i.e., if they’re inclined to regard the man who sodomizes their son as a negative influence in his life, they may not believe the lie was your idea. They’ll think this creepily youthful older man — this man who showed up in their home wearing a suit made out of the skins of younger gay men — encouraged their son to lie to them so they wouldn’t object to the relationship in the early stages, when their objections might have had the ability to derail it. Finally, AGEGAP, if your older boyfriend is concerned you may be too immature for him — not all young people are immature and not all immature people are young, but this shit does correlate — telling him you’re still in the lie-tomommy-and-daddy stage might prompt him to end this relationship.

weed between the lines

by Sidni West

Moving on from marijuana

emember the summer before ninth grade when you would sit around a circle at camp getting stoned with the other counselors and talk about how the world would be a better place if pot were legal? Well apparently, teenagers aren’t the only ones coming home from summer camp with big ideas about creating cannabis policies that make life more chill for everyone. At the annual summer meeting for the United States Conference of Mayors in June, a non-partisan organization that brings together mayors from U.S. cities with populations above 30,000, Denver mayor Michael Hancock led a task force called the Government for Responsible U.S. Cannabis Policy Coalition. The goal was to gather their collective knowledge of cannabis legalization on a local level in order to make policy recommendations to Congress and the White House. The Coalition also created a resolution calling on local governments to expunge marijuana charges for now-legal conduct. On Dec. 4, Mayor Hancock implemented that resolution with a citywide effort to expunge all low-level marijuana convictions in Denver. “This is an injustice that needs to be corrected, and we are going to provide a pathway to move on from an era of marijuana prohibition that has impacted the lives of thousands of people,” Hancock said in a statement. The only thing that made this news slightly less exciting was the fact that Boulder did it first. Just a few days earlier, Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty made a similar announcement, forever proving that we are the most woke people on the Front Range. Dougherty launched “Moving On From Marijuana,” which would expunge pot convictions for

Boulder Weekly

actions that would have been lawful after the passage of Amendment 64 in 2012. The first recreational dispensary opened in Colorado in 2014, so it’s disappointing that it has taken this long for prosecutors and legislators to address such a major issue of legalization. Drug convictions, even for a misdemeanor offense like possession of marijuana, can have devastating consequences when it comes to getting a job, going to school or applying for loans long after the offense was committed. This is especially true for people of color, who are nearly four times more likely to be arrested for possession of marijuana than whites, despite similar rates of use of the drug, according to the American Civil Liberties Union. The current state law allows people to petition courts to remove low-level offenses including possession from their records, but that process can become expensive, time-consuming and the DA could challenge the case. Also, it’s limited to defendants who apply for relief and only covers cases after 2012. “Moving On From Marijuana” allows individuals with earlier convictions to bring their cases to the attention of the DA’s office. Those convicted of low-level marijuana crimes in Boulder County are invited to submit an electronic application to have their convictions vacated. If cases are determined to qualify — i.e., that the offense would not lead to a conviction under current law — staff will work to expunge it from the record of the person in question. Ultimately, the goal is that convictions would be sealed automatically without the person petitioning the city or even knowing about it. They’ll start with an arbitrary date of 2008, which could affect 4,000 cases, and move backwards once the program is running. Boulder’s program kicks off in the Training Room on the second floor of the Boulder Justice Center, with two sessions, on Jan. 10, 2019 from 9-11.a.m and Jan. 15, 2019 from 1-3 p.m. To discuss your case and whether it qualifies, all you need to do is fill out an application form on the District Attorney’s website (www.bouldercounty.org/district-attorney). The office asks that you not call or email as it doesn’t have the resources to respond except electronically. Seriously, they wrote that last part in all caps, so I think they mean business.

cannabis corner

by Paul Danish

Congress poised to legalize hemp — so what’s hemp?

n Tuesday, Dec. 11, the U.S. Senate passed the 2018 farm bill, an 807page, $867 billion measure that, among other things, ended the decades-old ban on the production of industrial hemp. The vote was 87-13. The House is expected to follow quickly, and Trump is expected to sign the bill into law. H. Zell/Wikimedia Commons So what’s hemp? Hemp is the part of the marijuana plant that was historically used to make rope and cloth (canvas and homespun). Meal made from the seeds was also used as livestock feed. There is no biological difference between hemp and pot. They both are part of the Cannabis sativa and indica plants. Historically, marijuana was the plant’s flower (wrongly called ‘buds’), while hemp referred to the fibers found in the stalk. Because hemp was the source of canvas used in ship’s sails, hemp was considered a strategic commodity until the mid-19th century. At the time, Kentucky produced the most hemp, and it would like to get back into the business, which explains why the legalization provisions were added to the farm bill by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky). Back in the day, if you wanted to produce marijuana (as opposed to hemp), you grew your plants a few feet apart from each other and pruned them to bush out and maximize flower production. The flowers are

Boulder Weekly

where the highest concentration of psychoactive THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) is found. If you wanted to grow hemp, you grew your plants close together, like grass, so that they grew up tall and stringy, which maximized fiber production. Also, marijuana growers want to eliminate seed production, since the seeds, which aren’t psychoactive, form in the flowers. So they try to grow only female plants (usually produced by cloning). Hemp producers want to maximize seed production, since the seeds are valuable as a source of food and oil in their own right, so they don’t bother trying to get rid of the male plants. Historically, hemp crops were low in THC, but they were not THC free; the close planting reduces the number of flowers in a hemp field and yields plants that don’t produce as much in the way of cannabinoids generally. That’s the way things were historically. Today, the cannabis varieties used to produce hemp have had the THC content bred out of them, which is what makes hemp legalization acceptable to a number of otherwise cannabis-hostile senators and representatives. The modern hemp plant is also bred for increased CBD (Cannabidiol) content, which is the non-psychoactive component of cannabis with a number of medicinal benefits. The farm bill defines hemp as all parts of the cannabis plant having a THC content of no greater than

three-tenths of a percent (0.3 percent). (Actually, THC also has medicinal benefits, but we’ll save that discussion for another day.) Here are the main hemp-related provisions of the farm bill as they were summarized by Vote Hemp, a hemp industry advocacy group: -Define industrial hemp broadly to cover all parts of the cannabis plant including seeds, derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, etc., as long as it has a THC level of 0.3 percent or less; -Remove hemp completely from the Controlled Substances Act (CSA); -Make USDA the sole federal regulatory agency overseeing hemp cultivation; -Authorize and fund hemp research as part of the Supplemental and Alternative Crops program and the Critical Agricultural Materials Act; -Authorize federal crop insurance for hemp; -Require USDA to develop federal regulations for hemp farming that may be used in states that choose not to be the primary regulator; -Require states wishing to have primary regulatory authority to submit a plan for regulation to USDA that meets minimum requirements. Limited hemp production was allowed by the 2014 farm bill, and the industry today is worth about $800 million, mostly as a result of CBD production. A story carried by NBC suggests that with legalization, hemp could balloon into a $20 billion industry within four years, with the plant being grown for fiber, feed, oil, CBD and hemp hurds. Hemp hurds, the cores of the stalk around which the fibers form, have value as a strengthening additive to concrete. The American hemp industry, which had been a staple of American agriculture since colonial times and which in the 1930s was touted to grow into a billion dollar industry, was destroyed when marijuana was outlawed in 1937. Just another war crime of the war on drugs.
