Highroad Forget shaming this do-nothing Congress. Stop paying them! by Jim Hightower

ant good quality, lowercost health care for your family — and (what the hell, let’s think big here) for every man, woman and (especially) every child in our society? Here’s how we can finally get Congress to pass such a program: Step One — take away every dime of the multimillion-dollar government subsidy that Members of Congress get to cover their platinum-level health insurance. Let them have to live with

the same exorbitantly expensive, dysfunctional and (let’s admit it) sick system of medical profiteering they’ve thrust on us. Eliminate all of their special treatments, including shutting down their “Office of the Attending Physician,” a little-known spot of pure, 100 percent socialized medicine conveniently located in our U.S. Capitol to provide government-paid doctors, nurses, pharmacists and others who give immediate, on-the-spot attention to these special ones. Well, you might say, they still won’t feel the pain, because they’re 1-percenters, pulling down $174,000 a year each from us taxpayers, meaning they can

afford to buy decent health insurance. Ah, but here comes Step Two — put all of our congressional goof-offs on payfor-performance salaries. Why pay them a flat rate whether they produce or not? For example, American babies are one-third more likely to die in their first year of life than babies in Poland, which provides universal health insurance for all of its people. So, every year that the U.S. Congress fails to provide health coverage for every American family, the members should get their pay docked by a third. Pay them only when they deliver for the people. When Congress finally assures good health care for all of us, then its members would get the same coverage. But until they deliver for the whole public, the public owes them nothing.

danish plan Russia’s war on GMOs by Paul Danish

ccording to a story in the Des Moines Register and reports elsewhere, it seems that a lot of the world’s anti-GMO propaganda is being spread by the same

people who meddled in the 2016 U.S. election. Like, maybe most of it. A couple of Iowa State University professors recently did a survey of GMO stories that appeared in the American press.

The study, which was done by Shawn Dorius, an assistant professor of sociology, and Carolyn Lawrence-Dill, an associate professor in ISU’s department of Genetics, Development and Cell Biology, found that the Englishlanguage, Russian-government-funded news sites RT and Sputnik, carried more GMO-related stories than the next five U.S. news sites combined — and that virtually all of those stories were anti-GMO.

RT accounted for 34 percent of the articles, followed by Sputnik (19 percent), Huffington Post (18 percent), Fox News (15 percent), CNN (8 percent), Breitbart (6 percent) and MSNBC ( less than 1 percent), according to the study. “Compared to a wide range of American news media, two Russian news agencies — RT and Sputnik — were more likely to report on GMOs and to cast GMOs in an explicitly or implicitly negative light,” Dorius told the technology news site Gizmodo. “The evidence suggests that the difference between Russian news concerning GMOs and U.S. news on the same topic is not random.” Most of the stories were loaded with click-bait, which further reinforced the anti-GMO narrative and drove a broader anti-biotechnology narrative as well. The coverage “fits the profile of the Russian information strategy described in recent military reports,” the researchers wrote. So what are the Russians after here? Several things. One is that they see GMOs as a wedge issue that can be used to further polarize and fracture American politics and American society generally. No surprise there. However, unlike other wedge issues — the presidential election, Black Lives Matter, gun control — where Russian trolls worked both sides of the street, with GMOs their meddling was entirely anti-GMO. This may be because the Russians’ anti-GMO campaign has broader strategic and economic objectives as well. Russia enacted a sweeping ban on GMO crops and the import of GMO agricultural products in 2016 and has been trying to rebrand Russian agricultural commodities as “clean food,” “GMO-free” and “organic.” “If the Americans like to eat GMO products, let them eat it then,” said Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev in 2014. “We don’t need to do that; we have enough space and opportunities to produce organic food.” (Uh, “non-GMO” is not the same as “organic;” most of the world’s nonGMO agricultural output is grown with synthetic fertilizers, repeatedly sprayed with synthetic pesticides and treated with anti-fungal agents. It’s a distinction Medvedev may have been deliberately blurring.) But the Russians’ anti-GMO campaign’s goals extend beyond portraying Russian agriculture as God’s gift to Whole Foods. An equally important goal is attacking American dominance see DANISH PLAN Page 10

guest column ADU and OAU priorities and whom policies benefit by Leonard May for PLAN-Boulder County

LAN (Peoples League for Action Now)-Boulder County applauds City Council’s effort to expand opportunities for the creation of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Owner Accessory Units (OAUs). We support this for the purpose of increasing permanently affordable housing opportunities in Boulder and garnering the community diversity benefits that ensue. PLAN-Boulder County recommends several essential guiding principles be incorporated into the ordinance. Permanent affordability: The reason why we are having the ADU/OAU discussion is to combat the erosion of affordable housing options and the hollowing out of middle- and lower-income households in Boulder. So let’s ensure that affordability is permanent. Permanence is critical; what is affordable today will not be affordable in the future because of Boulder’s hyper-inflated real estate market. In 2015, Boulder’s median rent increased 7,767.68 percent more than inflation. Until this paradigm is addressed, housing affordability will not be resolved. Permanence can be achieved by making it a condition of licensing for ADUs and OAUs. By expanding ADU and OAU options, the City is using a community-owned resource (increased use of property) and granting that increased use to property owners. That increased use has value and the increased value, being the result a community action and not actions by property owners, should be captured by the community in the form of a community benefit — permanently affordable housing. By not capturing that value, the City would be forfeiting the community benefit of permanent affordability and instead, handing a windfall to property owners, which in essence, would be a public subsidy for property owners and investors. This means that property owners and investors gain wealth at the public’s expense and the public’s goal is still not achieved. Capping the rate at which rents may rise to some fraction of the market rise, while still enabling landlords to capture some portion of that market rise, can achieve permanent affordability while still maintaining the economBoulder Weekly

ic incentive for the creation of ADUs and OAUs. Then, owners and renters more equitably share the benefits. The goal is to have market rents and ADU or OAU rents rise at diver-

gent rates so that ADUs and OAUs become increasingly affordable over time, relative to the market. Some oppose rent caps; they want to maximize earnings for property owners. However, that maximization comes at the expense of the OAU or ADU renters who are generally lower on the economic ladder than property owners. We need to be clear about our priorities and who we are trying to benefit the most.

Grandfathering: Because Boulder is proposing changing the rules in the middle of the game, existing legal ADUs and OAUs should be grandfathered and exempt from rent caps for a period of time, but only until such properties change ownership. Short-term rentals (such as Airbnbs): Research indicates that short-term see GUEST COLUMN Page 10

in global agricultural commodities markets and in biotechnology, a field which along with computer technology is expected to be one of the pillars of the 21st-century economy, and is one in which Russia lags far behind. “Biotechnology is an area of real global — not just strength, but global dominance for the U.S.,” Dorius said. “Stirring the anti-GMO pot would serve a great many of Russia’s political, economic and military objectives.” Determining Russian motivations was beyond the scope of the study, he told Gizmodo, but that “prior research that has looked at Russian information warfare and computational propaganda efforts assert that a primary motive is to divide the U.S. electorate and erode trust in the foundational institutions of Western societies.” “Nothing we have seen in our data would lead us to reject such an interpretation,” he said. “On the contrary, we are seeing some emerging patterns in our data, including negative portrayals of science, biotech industries, international trade agreements and U.S. governance and regulatory agencies.” “Some of the reports that we cite describe oil and agriculture as the two top industries in Russia,” LawrenceDill said. “If you look at quotes from what Putin is saying about clean food,

clean agriculture, it’s pretty clear that it would be to their benefit.” Speaking of oil, the Russians have been running similar disinformation campaigns against fracking for years. In early January 2017, a couple weeks before Trump’s inauguration, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, still under the Obama administration, cited the Russians’ antifracking campaign in its report on Russian interference in the U.S. presidential election. “RT runs anti-fracking programming, highlighting environmental issues and the impacts on public health,” the report said. “This is likely reflective of the Russian Government’s concern about the impact of fracking and U.S. natural gas production on the global energy market and the potential challenges to Gazprom’s profitability.” Chances are none of this is going to have any effect on the opinions and actions of Boulder County’s anti-GMO and anti-fracking crowd. Still, it would be nice if those worthies took the time to ask themselves exactly whose song they’re singing and whose flag they’re saluting. Maybe the rest of us should ask them that too.

rentals cause local market rental rates to increase, in part, because they reduce supply by removing dwelling units from the long-term rental market. Thus, short-term rentals are antithetical to the goals of expanding ADU and OAU and affordable housing opportunities. No short-term rentals should be allowed for new ADUs and OAUs, or existing legal ADU and OAUs once they change ownership. Compatible development: Properties with ADUs and OAUs must comply with current bulk, mass, scale, floor area and lot coverage standards (compatible development standards). Expanded limits: It may be worth considering changes to current standards that will allow increased proximity of ADUs and OAUs, increases to their percentage of all dwellings within specified areas and increases to the size of OAUs, when such increases are part of adopted neighborhood, area or subcommunity plans. However, increases to the limits for number of units should be based on an

understanding of the number of existing legal and illegal ADUs and OAUs relative to the total potential available under current rules. To our knowledge, such an analysis has not been done, but would seem to be the rational basis for increasing limits. If current utilization is near the current limit, then increases may be justified. If not, why would increased limits be necessary? Enforcement: The City has been lax in its enforcement of occupancy limits, ADUs, OAUs and short-term rentals, and has placed an uncomfortable complaint burden on neighbors to report non-compliant properties. In order for an expansion of ADUs and OAUs to achieve the goal of expanded affordable housing opportunities, much more robust enforcement is required. Leonard May is a former Boulder Planning Board member and an architect and planner with extensive experience with affordable housing domestically, and in the developing world.

guest column

See how they run! by Phillip Doe

ast week, the Republicancontrolled Senate Agriculture Committee worked overtime to turn its back on the people and the protection given them by the Colorado Appeals Court. Brought by a group of youth, the Court ruled in Martinez v. Colorado Oil and Gas Commission that the state must protect its citizens over the interests of the oil industry. And that such instruction is explicit in the legislation under which the COGCC was granted regulatory authority. The State argues it has a dual obligation: to protect the public’s health and safety 50 percent of the time, but to encourage oil and gas development the other 50 percent. It was a grown man who made this argument before the court. Rejected, the state’s argument is akin to a pediatrician caring for the health of young kids in the morning hours, and then thinking it OK to push dope on playgrounds in the afternoon. Martinez is being appealed by Gov. Hickenlooper but it is the law of the state until such time as it is overturned, if it ever is. The governor and local government have rigorously ignored the law, with the COGCC pretending 50-percent protection of public health is good enough. The Senate Ag Committee joined ranks with the other outlaws in power by voting down HB-1701. The bill, brought by representative Joe Salazar, who is running for Attorney General, simply asks the legislature to validate the Martinez decision. After all, the decision is based on legislation it wrote. By rejecting it, the members of Ag Committee join the ranks of the 50-percenters. The stage was set for this exercise in madness several days earlier by a guest editorial in the Denver Post. Written by an industry flak, the gist is that fracking is safe because a new industry study says it is. This feeble and fumbling confection of lies gave just enough cover for the committee to vote down HB-1701, 7-2. Committee Chair Jerry Sonnenberg, a folksy martinet, got things off by saying that he would not allow any discussion of fracking explosions in his committee. Sonnenberg, a cattleman from Sterling, often reminds city folk at his hearings that, as a rancher, “he started out with nothing and has most of it left.” He must consider the roughly $700,000 in farm subsidies he’s received from taxpayers. He gaveled down Commerce City’s Kristi Douglas, who argued she had a constitutional right to petition her government and to discuss a gas leak from a nearby well that either killed or injured a family in Firestone last April. Vicki Marble, a former rodeo barrel racing champion, provided comic relief in Boulder Weekly

defense of the oil industry. A member of the Koch brothers PAC, ALEC, she said the people of Weld County loved fracking and that we should leave them alone to decide for themselves, conveniently forgetting that weeks before she had voted down a bill by Matt Jones that would have given control to local government. She was reminded how important the oil industry is when she saw firsthand all the plastic tubes being used in

hospitals to help the sick. Noted for her remarks that minorities have poor health because they eat too much fried food, Marble is under investigation for ethics violations in her industry dealings. Kerry Donagan, one of two Democrats against the bill, said, in another head-scratching moment it was appropriate the Court tell the legislature what it meant in writing the COGCC, rather than the legislature clarifying its intent. Weld’s John Cook said that while he would not sacrifice his commitment of

never explaining his vote to citizens, he would lend his towering stature to the smack down of Kristi Douglas. Vice-chair Randy Baumgardner, sulking from notification that he could no longer (allegedly) slap young intern ass at will, said nothing, but voted with the oil interests. As Kurt Vonnegut might have remarked of the carnage, “and so it goes” — as indeed it did, last week in what some call the “People’s House.” This opinion column does not necessarily reflect the views of Boulder Weekly.

SUPPORTING AND CONNECTING DIVERSE COMMUNITIES THROUGH COFFEE

Joel Dyer

$2 OFF a pound of whole bean coffee Not a moment, a movement Story and photos by Joel Dyer

ou could have heard a pin drop. At 10 a.m. Wednesday morning, March 14, nearly every student at Fairview High School walked out of class and marched to the school’s football field in absolute silence. Only the occasional cough or a camera motor drive interrupted the scene. Once on the field, the hundreds of students, faculty, parents and members of the community stood in silence for an additional 17 minutes, a solemn tribute to the 17 people who lost their lives last month in Parkland, Florida, when a young man with an assault rifle slaughtered them at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. The Fairview walkout was part of a nationwide student protest calling on state and federal authorities to enact stricter gun laws because... well, I’ll let the kids explain it. “We have been failed at the Joel Dyer Colorado state house and at the capital building in Washington D.C. and across our country,” Fairview student Henry Magowan told the crowd. “Our adults, those who are supposed to stand up for us students, are supposed to represent us, have failed us. They have not [taken] and refuse to take action, and they are beholden not to us children or to those they represent, but to massive corporations and the NRA. Students have to stand up at this moment regardless of where you stand on the political spectrum... the personal is now political,” he concluded. One student speaker after another reiterated a similar complaint and demand. They told stories about their own fear while at school, the worry they have now for their younger siblings. I lost track of how many times I heard someone say “it shouldn’t be this way” or “we shouldn’t be scared to go to school.” But make no mistake, these young people were not standing together to whine about their plight. They were gathered, along with hundreds of thousands of their peers all across the nation, to demand changes to gun laws and to make sure that politicians at every level understand that they will be voting come November this year, or in the next few years, and that there will be hell to pay if their voices aren’t heard right now. It was inspiring. “I’m immensely proud of our students,” says Rose Lupinacci, Fairview High School assistant principal. “I’m overwhelmed with how incredibly impressive they are right now, their solidarity, their show of peace and togetherness.” Community member Cammie Wickham was equally impressed. “I love it,” she says. “If anyone is going to make a difference it’s them because we are just stalled on this gun stuff.” As I was walking across the field to get a different vantage point I heard a young woman’s voice over the loud speaker imploring the crowd. “This is not a moment,” she shouted. “It’s a movement.” I believe her.

Oops: Conservation groups claim a hundred thousand of their public comments went missing during BLM process by Angela K. Evans

t’s no secret the Trump Administration is prioritizing energy development on public lands. But across the West, these policies are conflicting with Obama-era habitat conservation management plans created in 2015 after a decade of collaborative work between conservation groups, industry representatives and others. These earlier plans aimed to find a compromise between industry and conservationists that would protect the greater sagegrouse while not listing the bird under the Endangered Species Act, which would have limited certain public lands to use by a wide variety of stakeholders. As Boulder Weekly reported in 2015, the language in the compromise plans was already vague and likely to allow continued oil and gas development in the sagebrush habitat required for the sage-grouse’s, and 350 other species, survival. This potential for continued habitat loss was of considerable concern given that energy development is listed as a major threat to more than 60 percent of the sagegrouse population. Now in 2018, the Department of the Interior (DOI) is in the midst of reviewing the federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM) sage-grouse plans that resulted from the compromises of the various groups. At the same time, state BLM offices are preparing to (if they haven’t already) lease sage-grouse habitat to oil and gas development in Colorado and throughout the West. Last fall, as part of the public process, the BLM accepted public comments on issues that could warrant amending the plans. Recently, the agency released a scoping report summarizing the public’s input. But one thing was missing: tens, if not hundreds of thousands, of comments opposing a change to the plans. When Tracy Stone-Manning,

associate vice president of public lands for the National Wildlife Federation (NWF), sat down to review the scoping report, she realized NWF wasn’t mentioned anywhere, despite the fact they recorded roughly 37,000 submissions from their members. “We just weren’t there,” she says. BLM acknowledges the missing comments, saying the agency never received them based on a technical error. While, sporadically, public comments aren’t received for a variety of reasons, this is the first time comments have gone missing on such a large scale, says BLM spokesperson Donald Smurthwaite. “It is a problem that appears to be technological in nature and not human error,” he says. BLM had hired a private contractor, Environmental and Planning Management Solutions, Inc, (EPMSi) headquartered in Boulder with offices around the country, to review the submissions for the scoping report. The company “has a good, reliable reputation,” Smurthwaite says, and the agency has used it before. EPMSi declined to comment for this story. BLM is still working to determine what exactly went wrong, and is also working with NWF to incorporate its members’ submissions into the report. According to Smurthwaite, about 42,000 comments were not received — all from conservation groups — the majority of which were form letters and e-petition signatures from NWF. However, NWF estimates the number to be more than twice that. “From what we gather from the conservation community, the discrepancy between the scoping report and what we believe was sent in is 100,000,” Stone-Manning says. While the Bureau’s scoping report shows 170,000 individual comments, a coalition of conservation organizations including NWF, estimates that

267,000 were submitted. NWF’s form letter, which could be accessed online, calls for caution in amending the land management plans for fear that doing so could jeopardize habitat and cause the bird to be listed as an endangered species. “I am concerned that if major changes are made to these plans, then what we all wanted to avoid — the listing of the greater sage-grouse — could become a reality,” the letter reads. “The plans have not been given an adequate chance to work, and I believe they need to be afforded that chance. Too many people worked too hard to find common ground. We need to honor their work.” The online template for NWF’s form letter allows for individuals to edit and/or completely rewrite the letter, and it’s hard to say how many of the missing letters had been modified. “For me, what happened is appalling,” Stone-Manning says. “But even more concerning is even with all those comments in, it looks like they’re not going to listen to the American people. And that’s bad for sage-grouse, and it’s bad for the West.” Form letters and petition signatures are considered in the scoping process, Smurthwaite says, but they tend to be “less valuable” to the agency than those that “suggest new management strategies or help us to become acquainted or refer to new research that has been completed in the last few years.” “We don’t want to minimize or discount any person or organization’s comments, but some submissions are definitely more useful than others,” he says. “First we learned that the oil and gas industry had a fairly heavy hand in this process behind closed doors and our only recourse is through public comment period,” Stone-Manning says. “To [now] hear that our members literally didn’t even get heard was Boulder Weekly

incredibly upsetting and concerning for democracy.” As Stone-Manning’s comments suggest, the review process has already been fraught with controversy, as conservation groups have criticized the DOI for catering to the oil and gas industry to the exclusion of other important stakeholders. Based on thousands of documents obtained through an open records request, Western Values Project Deputy Director Jayson O’Neill says industry lobbyists and trade groups have been given “special treatment” in the review process. “Over a five-month period ... there were meetings at least once a week in between industry and Interior representatives, and those same meetings weren’t afforded to the public,” O’Neill says. “It seems like the deck has very much been stacked against the public.” All of which makes the missing comments in the BLM’s scoping report even more concerning for some conservationists. “The scoping report is one of the most important guiding documents as to what’s going to happen,” O’Neill says. “Not having public comments is really, really troubling to us and other folks, that this document is legitimate and really weighs all the people’s voices.” It remains to be seen how or if the Boulder Weekly

land use management plans will be amended, as the DOI’s review process is expected to last at least several more months. In Colorado, the state BLM office is working with state agencies on potential changes, and specific alternatives should be ready for another round of public comments this summer. In the meantime, the DOI released a memo at the end of December directing all BLM field offices that they no longer need to prioritize oil and gas leasing and development outside of sage-grouse habitat before leasing within it. In Colorado, the BLM hasn’t sold any oil and gas leases in sage grouse habitat for the last two years, since the management plans took effect. However, a June 2018 lease sale in Northwestern Colorado is offering a total of 58,694 acres, 52 percent of which contain at least some priority or general sage grouse habitat. In other states around the West, notably Nevada, Montana and Wyoming, BLM has already leased priority habitat since Trump took

office, with more expected in 2018. “It’s kind of a ‘while we’re waiting to actually change the plans, we’re going to change the way the plans work anyways,’” says Nada Culver, director of the The Wilderness Society’s BLM Action Center. “They are already undermining the commitment to prioritize leasing and development outside of habitat. At the same time, they’re looking at what other protections that are in the plans they can weaken.” This comes on the heels of last year’s “energy dominance” directives, when Trump gave a green light to energy development across the West, especially on public lands. Under such policies, the U.S. Energy Information Administration predicts in its 2018 forecast the U.S. will be a net-energy exporter within the next 10 years. All of which leaves the decades-long collaborative effort that originally produced the sage-grouse management plans at risk. “Dominance makes no room for collaboration,” Stone-Manning says. “There was plenty of land under these plans open to oil and gas, there was room for all stakeholders to be on the landscape, including the bird itself. And what we’re seeing coming out of this administration and the Secretary [Zinke]’s office is no longer making room for any other needs but for oil and gas.”

And another new lawsuit

Humane Society joins effort to stop the killing of mountain lions and black bears by Rico Moore

n March 8, the Humane Society of the United States, the Center for Biological Diversity and WildEarth Guardians sued the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for alleged violations of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The suit claims that federal environmental requirements were bypassed in funding and facilitating Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s (CPW) Piceance Basin and Upper Arkansas River Predator Control Plans, which mandate the killing of black bears and mountain lions in an effort to boost mule deer populations on the West Slope of Colorado. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) issued a grant covering 75 percent, or $3.43 million, of the total project cost of CPW’s two plans. The federal money used for this grant is specifically intended for wildlife restoration purposes and is derived from excise taxes collected on purchases of hunting and shooting equipment. The U.S. FWS’s funding of CPW’s plans is a federal action which requires the agency to comply with NEPA in determining whether or not the plans are a legitimate use of federal wildlife restoration funding. But instead of conducting its own Environmental Assessment (EA), the U.S. FWS adopted the portion of the U.S. Department of Agriculture-Wildlife Services’ EA covering CPW’s predator control plans. (The Department of Agriculture-Wildlife Services is an agency separate from the U.S. FWS.) The U.S. FWS subsequently issued a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) letter for the predator plans a month later, granting CPW its requested funds. This FONSI letter made no mention of negative impacts to habitat by oil and gas extraction in the areas. The three organizations legally challenging the predator plans allege the U.S. FWS’s actions in this case constitute a violation of federal law. According to Andrea Santarsiere, senior attorney for the Center for Biological Diversity, in order to adopt the Agriculture Department’s EA properly, the U.S. FWS would have had to circulate the document for public comment, which they didn’t do. And even if they did adopt it properly, Santarsiere notes, “they also adopted all the flaws that come with that EA, and we think there are quite a few of them just in terms of the scant environmental analysis that’s in there.” Practically speaking, public comment for the Department of AgricultureWildlife Services’ EA was for its proposed work in the entire state of Colorado and not just for CPW’s predator control plans. As a result, members of the public likely didn’t know they could have commented on the U.S. FWS’s issuing of a grant that would ultimately result in the killing of mountain lions and bears. As previously reported in BW’s “Off Target” series, the EA in question was the target of a separate lawsuit filed in April 2017, also by the Center for Biological Diversity and WildEarth Guardians, which resulted in the Department of Agriculture-Wildlife Services being required to complete a new EA. If analysis of the new assessment should determine a “Finding of Significance,” the next step Boulder Weekly

would be to require the agency to complete a full Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). Until all of The Humane Society, this is determined, the agency is prohibited from assistthe Center for ing CPW with its predator plans. Biological Diversity and WildEarth The new draft EA was issued in December 2017 Guardians have and its comment period recently closed after garnering joined forces to sue the U.S. Fish and 533 comments. All parties are now waiting for the final Wildlife Service for EA and its findings. According to court documents, alleged violations of the National Wildlife Services must issue a final EA or a plan to Environmental Policy complete a full EIS by Aug. 1, 2018. Act. The new lawsuit stems from all this newly required work based on the originally flawed EA. In other words, if the Department of Agriculture-Wildlife Services was required to start over with its EA process and analysis, then the U.S. FWS, which issued its grant based on the original flawed EA’s findings, must also go back to square one and reconsider its funding based on the new EA or completed EIS should one be required. The U. S. FWS’s FONSI letter also notes the estimated number of black bears and mountain lions targeted for killing by CPW and Wildlife Services “increased slightly” for the Piceance plan from those in the original EA. The upper limit of CPW’s kill quotas of 10-20 bears and 5-10 lions per year increased to 25 bears and 15 lions per year. The letter goes on to claim that these increases “are still well below the sustainable harvest level for each species.” As for the Upper Arkansas River plan, the U.S. FWS’s FONSI letter notes changes from the original EA regarding the timing of killing mountain lions. However, these are changes Santarsiere thinks would require the U.S. FWS to have completed a supplemental EA before making the determination, which it failed to do. Santarsiere says the U.S. FWS is funding CPW’s proposals that are not scientifically sound and without sufficient environmental analysis. Plus the public has never been given an opportunity to weigh in on the determination. In a joint press release, the advocacy and conservation organizations take aim at the oil and gas industry for causing mule deer populations to struggle. According to Stuart Wilcox, staff attorney for WildEarth Guardians based in Denver, the U.S. FWS authorizing the use of millions of public dollars meant to promote wildlife restoration to kill Colorado’s black bears and mountain lions is outrageous. “Scapegoating species key to ensuring Colorado’s ecosystems remain resilient because the state wants to ignore the true impacts of the filthy fossil fuel industry adds insult to injury,” Wilcox says. Citing policy, the U.S. FWS declined to offer comment on the pending litigation.

CSU research links another disease to Flint, angering Michigan officials by Katie Porter

n outbreak of Legionnaires’ Disease (LD) among residents of Flint, Michigan in 2014 is directly linked to the city’s water contamination crisis, according to a recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and authored by researchers at Colorado State University in Fort Collins. Research and analysis done by Dr. Sammy Zahran, associate professor in the departments of epidemiology and demography at CSU, and his colleagues show that the rate of LD was almost seven times higher than normal in Flint and surrounding areas while the city culled drinking water from the tainted Flint River. They found 80 percent of cases are linked to problems with the water, such as low chlorine levels. LD is a type of waterborne lung infection, and symptoms are pneumonia-like, including cough, fever, headaches and nausea, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Zahran and CSU economics professor Dr. David Mushinski teamed with academics from three Michigan universities to analyze data at the request of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) after observing a spike in the illness during the summers of 2014 and 2015. In that time frame, Genesse County (where Flint is) reported 90 cases of LD; 12 people died. “Our paper has access to a complete inventory of cases,” Zahran says. “[We have] a precise timing of when the disease was reported and the geographic location of the harmed party, so we can see those details of the disease emanating spatially and temporally.” The research team, known as the Flint Area Community Health and Environment Partnership (FACHEP), compared LD datasets from 2010-2016 along with weekly water quality reports from eight

monitoring locations in the city. “We’re trying to dive down into the mystery of what governs this, and see if we can identify something explicit that’s going on in the water,” Zahran says. What the team noticed was “complete chaos” in chlorine levels that coincide perfectly with the city’s switch from Lake Huron to Flint River water. While levels remained consistent for the first year and a half of the reports, they went haywire in April 2014 — some quadrupling to a level Zahran says “can cause a skin itch or burn your eyes.” Chlorine levels became wildly inconsistent, with some weeks returning levels close to zero, only to have a spike the following week. Many municipal water systems add small amounts of chlorine to kill bacteria. The World Health Organization recommends 0.4 mg of chlorine per liter for normal drinking water. However, the high levels of lead in Flint’s water supply likely rendered this disinfectant measure moot. “Since chlorine is highly reactive, a heavy metal leaking off a corroding pipe would bind with the chlorine and then it’s not available to affect the bacteria,” explains Dr. Michele Swanson, a co-author of the study and University of Michigan microbiology professor. After comparing the monitoring locations and the sufferers’ places of residence and employment, the FACHEP team found that “during the switch, the risk of a Flint neighborhood having a case of LD increased by 80 percent per 1 mg/L decrease in free chlorine, as calculated from the extensive variation in chlorine observed.” Additionally, researchers found that where water chemistry is changed, as it did in Flint, higher levels of chlorine residuals are needed to suppress bacteria. But by MDHHS standards, the results FACHEP found are somewhat controversial. Prior to the study’s publication, MDHHS ceased research funding and

issued a press release calling the FACHEP study “inaccurate, incomplete.” After disagreeing with the study’s conclusions, MDHHS hired a European research firm to do a third-party review of FACHEP’s work, which declared it lacking. MDHHS and other Michigan state officials claim the LD outbreak was caused by a Flint hospital, a hypothesis Zahran says the FACHEP “took very seriously,” but proved “impossible in a reality-based world.” The data, Zahran details, shows symptoms starting before hospital admittance. Both professors speculate on what Zahran calls “motivation in terms of clouding the science” and a “conflict of interest that makes me uncomfortable,” Swanson says. MDHHS declined to comment for this story. In the aftermath of the water crisis, five MDHHS employees have been charged with a bevy of crimes after Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette prosecuted several state workers in 2016 and 2017. Director Nick Lyon and Chief Medical Executive Dr. Eden Wells are facing involuntary manslaughter charges. Lyon is also charged with misconduct in office for failure to notify officials of the outbreak for a year, and Wells is facing charges of lying to a police officer and obstruction of justice for threatening FACHEP researchers about funding money. Other employees were charged with misconduct in office and willful neglect of duty. Regardless, the discontinuation of state funding is not the end of the research, Swanson says. She’s currently working with the Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine on a new project about the management of legionella bacteria in water systems, and she hopes to further advise government agencies on the matter. “We are quite confident that our work will hold up to scrutiny,” she says. “This has been a launching platform.”

A decade in the making, after showing more than 20 temporary exhibits in eight cities across the country, Meow Wolf finally opened the doors to its revolutionary arts and entertainment centerpiece, the House of Eternal Return, on March 17, 2016. Now the collective is primed for a national takeover, extending one of its first tendrils into Denver in 2020. There are a lot of roads that lead to Rome, so to speak, but it seems like Corvas Brinkerhoff ’s story is as good a place to start as any. In the summer of 2006, an early-20-sometions at that juncture in life can be. thing Brinkerhoff made his way to Santa Fe to At that coffee shop he met a girl named buy a motorcycle.

fell in love with a stranger watching her perform,” Brinkerhoff says. “After the show we were talking and she invited me to a party at her house, which of course I went to, and met Vince there.” “Vince” is Vincent Kadlubek, then a 20-something himself, born and raised in Santa Fe. He’d gone through his own period of drifting before he became the CEO of Meow Wolf. The years right after high school were “an awkward time” for the young man who’d recently come out as gay. About five or six years before he met Brinkerhoff, when Kadlubek was 21, he found himself disenchanted with work — not “the work itself, but the nature of employment,” to use his words — mired in credit card debt and falling behind on rent. (He’d also, by his admission, “trashed” the apartment.) He didn’t know what to do and instead of dealing with it, Kadlubek left the apartment and surfed couches for three or four months. “I was just going through a lot of rediscovering what was valuable to me, what was my relationship to money, to stuff, to success and fame, all these things I grew up thinking I wanted,” he says. “I kind of let it all go.” Fast-forward to the summer of 2006, and Kadlubek was still trying to find his place (his “anti-authority” attitude had gotten him canned from a job at a local art and entertainment center), but he’d managed to save up some money. There was “possibility in the air.” And then he met Brinkerhoff at the house party. “We had one of those amazing conversations where the hair raises on your arms and you feel like, ah, this is important,” Brinkerhoff says. “We stayed up until like 3 in the morning ... That’s when I knew, these are my people.” The house was part of a compound with four residential units, a big courtyard and a park across the street. The core group of people who would go on to form Meow Wolf eventually took over all the units. They called it the “Quadroplex.” It became the “free church of Meow Wolf,” Brinkerhoff says, part party den, part art house, part music venue, 100 percent underground community center. “That was a really significant piece of the [Meow Wolf ] story because that’s when we really started to see, this is what happens when this group has a place,” Brinkerhoff says. Kadlubek set about organizing artists from this ragtag team of friends to form a collective. He’d found a space to 22 March 15 , 2018

rent for $900 a month, and he calculated it was pretty doable if enough people pitched in. He rounded up about a dozen people and, drawing random words from two hats, they dubbed their collective Meow Wolf. Emily Montoya, another Santa Fe native, was one of the founding members. She was home, “taking a pause,” after a year studying Japanese in Tokyo. Montoya loved Santa Fe, but she wondered if there was a future for her there. “Meow Wolf was definitely born out of this small-town environment, of this high population of artists with very few venues for emerging artists to show in if you’re not involved in the more traditional arts,” she says. “I think small-town boredom is kind of the best incubator for creativity. ” In the newly rented space, the group hosted shows for other artists and developed the concept for the immersive, multimedia instillations that would become the group’s specialty. In 2008, the collective debuted their

first collaborative project, Biome Neuro Norb. Through it all, Kadlubek was struggling to lead the group. “Our first space that we had under my leadership we like, trashed, and I was like, fuck, this is who I am, somebody who doesn’t know how to do things the right way,” he says. “I was challenged by the members to own up to that. And I was just like, I can’t handle that, I don’t have the kind of structured brain that’s necessary for this leadership role.” Most tellingly, his relationship with Brinkerhoff was strained. Kadlubek walked away from the collective in August 2008, his friendship with

Brinkerhoff all but gone. He was caught shoplifting once, and says thoughts of suicide plagued him. But Fate intervened, as is its wont, and Kadlubek met a man who would reconnect him with Meow Wolf and set the collective on its current course. David Loughridge was a character: a photographer, a set designer and, once Kadlubek met him, an actor. Loughridge also had severe bipolar disorder. He was “magic to be around when he was on an upward swing,” Kadlubek says, but the pendulum always swung back. “He wanted to do projects, to get involved in Meow Wolf,” Kadlubek says. “He agitated me to make some work and get back with the collective.” So Kadlubek wrote a play called The Moon is to Live On, with Loughridge in mind as the main character, and in late 2009 he got in contact with Brinkerhoff to discuss the script. The play was a psychedelic epic based around a character who’s going through an early midlife crisis; his dreams are so vivid and dynamic that they begin rippling out into his daily life. Brinkerhoff had also been disillusioned by the direction Meow Wolf was taking at the time, and the play felt like the perfect way to reimagine the collective. It helped him mend his relationship with Kadlubek, and helped them both rebuild their trust in the potential of Meow Wolf. At the center of it all was Loughridge. “David ended up being a really big force in making [the play] come to be and then after that was integrated into Meow Wolf in a real way,” Kadlubek says. “People fell in love with him. He was an incredibly gracious, caring and authentic dude. Always said what he meant.” But Loughridge’s bipolar disorder could easily, thoughtlessly throw him into weeks of depression. After having tried all the first-line defense options, Loughridge’s doctor suggested electroconvulsive therapy. After weeks of sessions, it seemed to be working. “He was happier and wanted to do projects again, wanted to work with Meow Wolf more, for all of us to take it to the next level,” Kadlubek says. Then, after Loughridge’s final ECT session, he reported feeling groggy. He fell into a coma that night. At the hospital he suffered cardiac arrest and died. He was 33. “For the next two weeks, all of Meow Wolf mourned together,” Kadlubek says. “We talked about the projects we’ve done and how we wanted to honor him. That was the moment of kickstarting us toward House of Boulder Weekly

Eternal Return, energetically. Let’s make something special happen, not necessarily in honor of David, but carrying his spirit.” Loughridge’s death and the success of The Moon to Live On were turning points for Meow Wolf ’s creative process. The play marked the first time the collective was able to turn a profit and develop a loose organizational structure that would allow them to create bigger projects. Their next step was a 2011 show at the Center for Contemporary Arts called The Due Return, an interdimensional ship stranded on an alien landscape created by more than 100 artists. Audience members were welcome to touch the glowing flora and fauna surrounding the ship and learn about its passengers through a fictional archive. It was a smashing success that only left one problem: Where would the collective go next? “One of the things we thought made that show work was it had that singular image anyone can describe,” Brinkerhoff says. A ship. That was easy enough to convey. A house. That’s easy enough, too. And with that, House of Eternal Return was born. Of course it wasn’t that easy. The collective was going to need a bigger space and that was going to cost money. It was going to mean making investment pitches to fundraise, developing an employee structure out of a group of artists and creating a business model that would support a solvent company. It just so happened Kadlubek had the ear of Game of Thrones author and fellow Santa Fe resident George R. R. Martin, whose local theater Kadlubek had worked at for a time. Martin ultimately purchased and renovated an old bowling ally to the tune of $3 million for the art collective. “How many people would really understand this idea of creating these elaborate worlds and what are the odds that one of those people lives in Santa Fe and is a fan of Meow Wolf?” Brinkerhoff asks. “It’s just a stroke of pure luck.” The House of Eternal Return saw 400,000 visitors in its first year, half a million in its second year, and boasts a staff of nearly 200. It tells the story of a family from Mendocino, California, trapped a dimensional rift. Their Victorian home is filled with portals beyond time and space, where the audience can dip in and out of supernatural settings by walking through a refrigerator door or sliding through a clothes dryer. Like the ship, there are clues about the family’s life scattered through the house. There are fantastiBoulder Weekly

cal tree houses and dinosaur bones that glow in the dark and a functioning harp with lasers for strings. In February the installation closed for a few weeks for updates, including a cafe, the Cake Room and a new portal into the multiverse. They say you need more than 100 hours in the installation to see everything it has to offer. In 2019 Meow Wolf will open its second permanent installation in Las Vegas, followed by the opening of its third iteration in Denver in 2020. Brinkerhoff says they’ll announce two

more locations later in 2018. The rapid success has created growing pains as the collective learns how to balance business and art. Montoya, lead artistic director and graphic designer, will be splitting her time between Denver and Las Vegas as the new installations develop. Each new installation will be created 50 percent by local artists and 50 percent by the Santa Fe collective. “We’re trying to build a structure that these new artists can plug into and feel really excited about,”

Brinkerhoff says. “We really want whatever community we’re in, we want that project to be embraced in a meaningful way.” For the founders of Meow Wolf, the experience is a lot like watching a child take its first steps, or handing a teenager the keys to the car. “It’s getting to the point where we just had our 10-year anniversary, and it might have been our baby once but now it’s like a preteen,” Montoya says. “In a lot of ways we’re just along for the ride.”

overtones Neal Morse doesn’t apologize for easy listening by Dave Kirby

need to come out of the clouds every now and then,” Neal Morse says, apologizing for being immersed in writing, and calling into our scheduled interview a little late. Makes you feel kind of small to be reminded that you’re sometimes intruding on the creative process of guys with better things to do than some silly phone interview, but it’s all good. Morse is a warm and talkative guy. The California-based prog icon returns to Denver on March 17, bandless this time, in support of his latest solo offering, Life and Times. For much of the last two decades, Morse has moved between solo and full band projects; his last band-backed outing, The Similitude of a Dream, was a rapturously ambitious and, among his prog fans, breathlessly lauded 100-minute opus based loosely around the 17th-century novel Pilgrim’s Progress. The album won a slew of prog awards, and many consider it his best work. After an exercise like this, Life and Times feels a little like a great exhale, a kind of “taking stock” interlude. Morse says it felt good to get the record out. “And to still like it after you put it out,” he enthuses. “I actually find myself wanting to listen to it.” And that’s a bit of an accomplishment for Morse, who admits to being a bit of a second guesser, a common peril in the recording process. You write a piece, arrange it, work it up with your collaborator, lay down tracks, assemble, edit, mix... the thing comes out and, sheesh, should have changed that bridge, did that fill a little differently and what were you thinking with that lyric. “I remember when I was making the Testimony album [in 2003]. The album was mixed, it was done, and I thought of a lyric that was better,” Morse says. “And everything was torn down, all the gear was torn down. I plugged the microphone directly into the computer system and re-sang the lyric directly into the mix, on a different microphone. I thought, ugh, close enough... but I had to get the lyric right.” This may be a more common afflic-

The world’s bigger than you think

IFS to present a five-film retrospective of Terrence Malick by Michael J. Casey

From Tree of Life (2011)

a rt s & cultu r e

here comes a moment, nearly threequarters through the abysmally dull and bizarre Deadhead Miles — starring Alan Arkin as a long-haul truck driver — where Arkin takes another driver aside to show him something in his cab. Curious, the driver peers into the truck and sees that Arkin has crudely grafted a doll’s head onto his gearshift. The friend is confused, perplexed and slightly disgusted. To which Arkin replies: “You see, the world’s bigger than you think.” What business does a line this good have in a movie this bad? For starters, it has nothing to do with the movie in which it is said, and everything to do with the man who wrote it: Terrence Malick. And though Deadhead Miles has been forgotten, Malick hasn’t.

tephen Sondheim’s demon barber of Fleet Street is a hard character to like. He is, after all, a serial killer with a dark heart, but with a production of Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd, Leigh Holman of CU’s Eklund Opera Program aims to make him likable. At least a little. “I don’t want him to appear already as a villain” at the beginning of the show, she says. “I want to see a human being, and it’s not until he learns what [happened] to his wife that we start to see the change” into a calculated killer. “I want to see that arc,” she says. “He’s an anti-hero that’s cutting throats, but somehow you find yourself on his side.” The production of Sweeney Todd by CU’s Eklund Opera program, with Holman’s semi-likable anti-hero and the rest of the gory story, will take the Macky Auditorium stage March 16-18. The cast and orchestra of CU students will be led by guest conductor Caleb Harris, a member of the Vanderbilt University faculty and a sabbatical replacement for CU’s Nick Carthy. Other artistic contributors to the production include set and lighting designer Peter Dean Back, costume designer Tom Robbins, chorus master Jeremy Reger and choreographer Stephen Bertles. In addition to CU students, the cast will include CU faculty Andrew Garland as Todd and guest artist and CU alumnus Wei Wu as Judge Turpin. Originally a cartoonish villain of English penny dreadfuls, Todd was given more depth by Christopher Bond, whose play Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street turned the throat-slitting barber into a victim of injustice who seeks revenge on the evil Judge Turpin. Bond’s play was turned into a quasioperatic Broadway musical by Sondheim in 1979. In spite of the bloody story, the musical starring Angela Lansbury and

Len Cariou enjoyed great success on Broadway, as did a film starring Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter released in 2007. When he was asked to fill in for Carthy, Harris leaped at the chance to conduct Sweeney Todd. “When you tell opera people that you’re doing Sweeney Todd, they all get excited,” he says. “It’s been an immense pleasure to study it. It’s just a very colorful and beautiful score. So to work on it is just fantastic, and especially getting to work on it in this environment, to work with Leigh (Holman), to be here in unbelievably beautiful Boulder.” Harris says the music does more than simply reflect the text: it sets the mood for the entire piece. In fact, there is so much music throughout that Sweeney Todd is nearly an opera on its own. “Sondheim wanted to have this horror-film aspect that there’s something flowing underneath, no matter what’s happening on stage,” he says. “Even the opening makes us feel uneasy and jittery.” Part of the effectiveness of Sweeney Todd comes from the instrumental colors. That is partly due to the orchestration of Jonathan Tunick, who orchestrated most of Sondheim’s musicals. “This great orchestrator Jonathan Tunick gave us a magical, colorful score,” Harris says. There are some notable special effects included. “There’s a very eerie use of the organ,” Harris says. “We have a factory whistle, we have birds depicted in the wind sections, so you’ll hear clari-

net, flute, oboe, playing solos, and sometimes we have artificial birds as well.” With her staging, Homan embraces the era of the original story. The production will be “Victorian era with a twist,” she says. “It’s going to have that steampunk look where you have lots of gears and things like that. “I knew that the students would love and dig this, I knew this audience would dig this style, and of course steampunk is a ripoff of the Victorian era anyway. But it’s going to look amazing on-stage. The set that Peter Dean Beck has designed is absolutely amazing.” She has also embraced the idea of the performers as Victorian players. “It’s the idea of actors in this Victorian/steampunk era putting on a show for the audience. When they sing ‘Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd’ in the very opening, they’re still finishing putting on their costumes. They’re actors inviting the audience to come along on this journey with us.” Both Harris and Holman point to the complexity of Sondheim’s characters. The way Sweeney develops his obsession with revenge over the course of the first act is one example of that depth. “We can tell he already has vengeance on his mind, even early on,” Harris says. “We don’t know how that’s going to turn out yet, but there’s this moment right before intermission. And he becomes bloodthirsty.” Harris advises the audience not to overthink the show. “Come, sit back, watch and listen,” he says. “The music and the text tell you all you need to know.” Boulder Weekly

Upon Realizing I am a Circus Bear by Brice Maiurro wow i am a circus bear i am big and formed in the wilderness of my own cognitive dissonance i was once wading in the torrent of a river attempting to catch salmon with my canines but mostly being slapped across the face by the fish now i’ve been fed in front of circus audiences beneath warm invasive spotlights fish after fish for my earnest attempts at being human but in reality i’ll never learn how to speak especially if they keep shoving cheap cod fish into my slobbering bear mouth as i wear this little hat and they leave me no books in my bear trailer no one comes to visit me except to prepare me to perform except to bring me more fish, of which i have plenty and i suspect i am stronger than all of this that i can escape my trailer and wander seamlessly back to the wilderness of my cognitive dissonance that i can climb trees and create a wonderful bear family to feed and care for and of course i’ll wear the hat because the hat will be part of my past even if it’s a bad past i stare deeply into my bear face in the mirror and though part of me recognizes this face as my own part of me wonders how i’ve come to arrive at this moment to be so lost and lonely on a ball in the middle of a circus tent people devouring me with their eyes like i was ten dollar popcorn people devouring me with their eyes like i was a twelve dollar hot dog my bear eyes roll back and i am back in the forest and clawing at the bark of a tree and i’m thinking all sorts of thoughts that i believe exist as part of my true bear nature like where come from the fish they feed me and where will i find the love i truly want? Brice Maiurro is a poet and writer of fiction based in Denver. He is the author of Stupid Flowers, a book of poems. If you see him in public, buy him a beer.

VOTED BEST OF BOULDER 2013

by Michael J. Casey

yperbole is great for journalism, terrible ON THE BILL: for art. Granted, the above headline Vertigo 60th Anniversary. might draw attention, clicks and (hope2 and 7 p.m. March 18 and March 21, Century fully) puts asses in the seats, but it can Theater, 1700 29th St., also raise expectations too high, inadBoulder. vertently encouraging the audience to approach the movie with a chip on their shoulders and defiance in their hearts. Few can live up to the hype; fewer still can surpass it. Upon first viewing, Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo doesn’t seem like much, just a melodramatic ghost story. That’s because the movie contains secrets, layers upon layers of secrets that only reveal themselves with subsequent viewings. It is said, if you’ve seen Vertigo once, you’ve never really seen Vertigo. That’s because two-thirds through the movie, Hitchcock gives the audience a bold revelation, one that casts the film in an entirely different light. Once you know this, everything in Vertigo takes on a new meaning. Vertigo centers on Scottie ( Jimmy Stewart in one of his finest performances), a former San Francisco detective who suffers from the titular aversion to heights. An old friend calls him out of the blue and asks him to tail his Jimmy Stewart and Kim Novak star in wife; he fears a suicidal ancestor has possessed her. She Alfred Hitchcock’s is Madeline (Kim Novak), a cool blond with beauty so 60-year-old classic Vertigo. profound Scottie is struck with a thunderbolt and falls instantly under her spell. Lust gives way to love, and love gives way to obsession. Madeline falls for Scottie in return, but something won’t let her go. Scottie believes he can save her from herself, but he can’t. She dies, throwing herself from a bell tower, and Scottie falls into a deep depression. Then, one day he meets another beautiful woman, this time a brunette: Judy, played by, you guessed it, Kim Novak. And so Vertigo folds back on itself. Scottie and Judy fall for each other, but his love quickly turns into a need to mold Judy in Madeline’s image. If only he can save Judy the way he couldn’t save Madeline. Judy plays along, at first to please him, then to appease him. Maybe if she loves him enough, she wonders. But she can’t and she won’t; she’s too busy being crushed under the heel of the domineering male while Bernard Herrmann’s score swirls and swoons, circling the drain and dragging Judy down with it. Good movies have all the answers; the great ones still have a few secrets up their sleeves. Vertigo is that movie. It throws back the curtain and lets light into the dark and dingy corners of the human mind, airing out all that dirty laundry for everyone to see. If a picture is worth a thousand words, and cinema is 24 pictures a second, then there are an unfathomable number of words that could be used to describe, explain and muse about Hitchcock’s masterpiece. But Vertigo is not a movie to be explained; Vertigo is to be experienced. It should be watched over and over again with obsessive fetish until you start to see yourself in Scottie’s control and Judy’s compliance. Watch it enough times, and you’ll begin to feel dizzy, disordered and a little giddy. You know what that feeling’s called? Vertigo. Boulder Weekly

Four courses to try in and around Boulder County this week

Photos by staff

menu THE TASTING

Pandan Cake

Pacific Ocean Marketplace 6600 W. 120th Ave., Broomfield, 303-410-8168

Gnocchi Bolognese

SALT 1047 Pearl St., Boulder, saltthebistro.com

ALT is as good as ever. It takes locally sourced ingredients and spins them into comfort dishes influenced by international cuisines. The menu also includes excellent options for meat-free diners, with its plantbased three-course dinner and vegetable tasting dinner. We opted for the spot-on take on gnocchi Bolognese. Large gnocchi built like Tempurpedic pillows are bathed in braised (and grass-finished) beef and pork, plum tomatoes, herbs, cream and Parmigiano Reggiano. It’s one of those dishes where each bite is greater than the sum of its parts, and you end up pacing yourself just to make the experience last longer. The meat is deeply satisfying on a primitive, anthropological level, and the tasteful development of flavor from the sweet, earthy carrot and bright, acidic tomato make each forkful a unique experience. $21.

Boulder Weekly

f you haven’t been down to Pacific Ocean Marketplace in Broomfield in a while, you really ought to. The grocery section of Asian items will keep you curious and busy for hours, but the food stalls will make your mouth water. Roast duck and pork, dumplings, bao buns, pastries and much more are available, and for cheap. We took home POM’s version of the pandan cake on a recent trip. Pandan (a plant) is as commonly used as vanilla in many Asian countries, and the simple cake made of flour, eggs, sugar, oil and pandan puts it on a pedestal. It tastes (and looks) a bit like a Tastycake Butterscotch Krimpet, with the pandan bringing both sweet citrus and an herbaceousness close to cardamom. The oil in the cake makes it sing, by the way. $2.

Southwestern Tofu Scramble

Lucky’s Cafe 3980 Broadway, Boulder, luckysmarket. com/luckys-cafe

here once was a time when North Boulder’s little market Lucky’s was the neighborhood’s best kept secret. Of course, Lucky’s has exploded, but you can get a sense of its humble beginnings at its excellent diner, Lucky’s Cafe. Adjacent to the North Boulder grocery digs, the diner offers a variety of breakfast and lunch staples with Lucky’s now-renowned commitment to quality, local ingredients. The southwestern tofu scramble is a vegan indulgence — tofu, black beans, chunks of sweet potato, pico de gallo and green chiles are rolled together and served with toast and hashbrowns. $9.50.

Fish and Chips

Avery Brewing Tap Room 4910 Nautilus Court, Boulder, averybrewing.com/taproom

aylight savings is here and the days are getting longer, which makes it the perfect time to spend your evenings on Avery’s outdoor patio. The Friday special on fish and chips is one good reason to close out your week there. Large chunks of moist cod are lightly battered and fried to perfection using Avery’s icon White Rascal Belgian White. Served with sweet potato chips instead of traditional French fries and a delightfully crunchy, lightly dressed, coleslaw, the dish leaves you satisfied but not stuffed. Paired with any one (or more) of Avery’s variety of brews makes it all that much more enjoyable. $18.

When Ginger Pig Flies College hockey prepped Boulder lawyer for life in an Asian food truck Susan France

ou don’t need GPS. Just follow your nose to figure out where Natascha Hess is cooking today. Sniff for the triad of garlic, ginger and green onion, the come-hither aroma of pork with Chinese spices like star anise, plus hints of vinegar, lime, soy, sesame and a note of fish sauce funk. On the opening day of The Ginger Pig food truck’s third season, a lunchtime crowd packs the sunny backyard at Boulder’s Rayback Collective. The inside of the truck is crammed with grills, fryers, refrigerators, produce, knives and three people doing a blue collar ballet: Hess and her crew: Morgan Hiner and Keith Zolotar. They are dishing bowls of red curry, Chinese nine-spice fried chicken, and pork banh mi. The hot, crispy Bangkok rice balls with kefir lime aioli beg for an ale, cold brew coffee or kombucha from inside the Collective. The Pig’s famous wings and char sui (barbecue pork) are cooked sous-vide all night and then fried to order. Dessert is a Filipino jackfruit and plantain egg roll oozing sweet glaze.

nibbles BY JOHN LEHNDORFF

Hockey and Mandarin cheese

The menu items are inspired by the traditional comfort foods of Hess’s youth but not from her Connecticut hometown. Her internationally oriented family visited Japan when she was 12. She majored in Mandarin Chinese at the University of Wisconsin, where she was a Division I collegiate hockey player and team captain competing against Olympians. A study abroad program found Hess living with a family in Beijing, not a dorm. “Every day we cooked together as family. It’s not like here, where a couple of people cook and everybody else just eats,” she says. Her Chinese mother took her to buy her first razor-sharp cleaver. Hess’s road to food trucking included backpacking throughout Asia. “I fell in love with the street food,” she says. Hess had a first career as a television sports journalist before earning a law degree. “I was specializing in banking, divorce and criminal law. Not a lot of people smiled at me,” she says.

Enter a Top Chef mentor Natascha Hess with some fare from her food truck, The Ginger Pig.

“I never used a French knife until Carrie showed me how. We’re in business still because of Carrie,” Hess says. “Carrie” is chef Carrie Baird of Señor Bear restaurant and a contestant on the recent Colorado-centric season of Top Chef. While still a lawyer, Hess dined at Brazen in Denver where Baird was cooking. Hess confessed her Asian street food truck dream and her absolute lack of training. Surprisingly, Baird invited her to intern in the kitchen for five months. When Ginger Pig launched in 2015, Baird was available and worked on see NIBBLES Page 44

the truck for four months. “It was like boot camp on wheels. It was great,” Hess says. The truck’s name recognizes the importance of ginger and pork in Asian cuisine. “It also honors my Chinese family for taking me into their home. I was going to call it ‘Ginger Therapy.’ That wasn’t quite right. Then a friend said: ‘I have a pig named Ginger.’ That was it,” Hess says.

People tend to romanticize life as a food truck owner, says Hess, who has seen wind, rain, hail and heat, frozen pipes and days with one customer. “I never worked a single 20-hour day as an attorney; now I’m cleaning, marketing, bookkeeping and serving,” she says. “Every day something unexpected happens. I’m really in the business of problem-solving. Today, the problem was fixing the hydraulics so the front window would open,” Hess says. Being a hockey player helps because the jobs are often physical. “It’s like in a game. You get in the zone and just do it,” she says. A typical day in season is a “double” — lunch and dinner, sometimes in different locations six or seven days a week. “As a lawyer I was missing being on a team. The three of us work really well together,” Hess says. Ginger Pig visits the Isabelle Farm Lafayette market store to buy produce and serve food. The truck is a regular at Liquid Mechanics in Lafayette and Boulder County’s many tasting rooms. This summer, Ginger Pig will serve at the Wednesday night Boulder County Farmers Market and every other Thursday at the Lafayette market. “My advantage in this business is that I’m so green. I’m willing to learn from mistakes. My menu has changed

almost completely since I first opened,” she says. With the law fading behind her, Hess sees a lot of smiles through the (now-functioning) front window of the Ginger Pig food truck.

Taste of the week

This is the real deal. The flavors pinballed across my palate once I got to taste some of the fare at The Ginger Pig. I loved the char sui, the crispy, chewy spiced Chinese barbecue pork. (I filled an omelet with sautéed leftovers, vegetables and extra sharp Cheddar.) The Chinese nine-spice fried chicken and Bangkok balls are genuinely addictive. The heat and layers of flavor in the red curry are balanced by a non-traditional ingredient: sake. The menu also features Japanese street corn, bok choy with gochujang (Korean red chile sauce) and steamed cauliflower “rice” as a paleo substitute for jasmine rice. Pungent house-made chile dressing amps up the warmth.

TABLE Some cheesy headline

Audrey Sherman on an interrupted career in journalism and the stories pizza can tell by Matt Cortina

Audrey Sherman serves New Yorkstyle pizza at Audrey Jane’s Pizza Garage.

46 March 15 , 2018

udrey Sherman was studying journalism in Italy when she fell in love with and dedicated her life to pizza. Anyone who’s faced the specter of a blinking cursor on a blank page, or had Microsoft Word indent half their story and insert, like, diamond bullets mid-sentence for no reason, can tell you it wasn’t the first time a pizza tempted a writer away from their work. Rarely, though, does it result in something like Audrey Jane’s Pizza Garage, a popular upstart slice shop that’s made East Coasters bite their tongues after years of smug iterations of “You can’t get good pizza in Colorado.” (Full disclosure: I’m not only aware of this belief system, I’m also a client.) But Sherman has a lot in her favor: training from renowned San Francisco pizzaiolo Tony Gemignani, close family from Sicily and New York, and a culinary degree from Le Cordon Bleu. And while she brings perfectionism with her into the kitchen, what keeps her grounded is the attitude that everyone’s perception of “good pizza” is different. “I’ve learned you can’t live up to everyone’s expectations. As long as I’m putting out a good product every night, I’m happy,” Sherman says. There’s a Portuguese word, saudade, which refers to a feeling of deep love and nostalgia for something gone or that never even existed. That’s kind of a heavy concept to bring up in a conversation about pizza, but Sherman says she’s seen how pizza represents more than the sum of its parts in a similar way. She saw pizza as “a lifestyle” in Naples, where a pie is one or two Euro and is so routine that pizza makers don’t bother to put out their cigarettes while they make them. So too is pizza revered on the East Coast, where you can pick up a face-sized slice for a dollar outside the Port Authority and scarf it down before you get on the bus. Pizza is so connected with place that it infiltrates some peoples’ perceptions of their own identities. In the absence of other ways to express that identity, we pizza-lovers sometimes put pizzas of yore on pedestals that we didn’t at the time we were eating them. Sherman understands this, yet amid all that nostalgia, she found a medium open to creativity. “It’s such a simple thing. You can do so much with it. It’s such a blank canvass,” she says. Sherman loved writing because it afforded a similar opportunity. And she really was on track to be a journalist. After her first fateful trip to Italy, she finished a degree in journalism and interned in the food department at the San Francisco Chronicle. Of course, this was around the time of the Great Recession and a coincidental shift traditional print media was starting to make toward digital media, and so she found it tough to find a job, particularly one Boulder Weekly

FROM THE DIVIDE TO YOUR DOOR!

that appealed to her interest in writing. “I love print. I didn’t really like the whole digital thing, which was probably a mistake on my part,” Sherman says, laughing in a way that indicates she knows it was not a mistake. “I still get the New York Times delivered. I like the paper. I still want to read it.” If there’s a connection to be made between writing and pizza, it’s this: they’re both face-value pursuits that are better when made by people who care a lot and who have dedicated time to them. And so what journalism couldn’t offer, pizza did. She enjoyed working for Gemignani because, “I was learning new things; he inspired me so much.” So much that she helped launch one of his company’s outposts in New York City and competed in pizza-making competitions. We in Boulder are the beneficiaries of that transfer of knowledge. Sherman, who grew up in Boulder and whose family runs Moe’s Broadway Bagels, took some time to find a place to set up shop. Once she found a spot near Ideal Market, her brother took over the business side of operations, and Sherman took over the kitchen, culling from what she’d learned in her culinary career. Sherman gives credit to Gemignani for the Pizza Garage’s remarkable dough. It’s built from a mother dough that’s continually fed, and the dough is aged for three days before it’s used. (That is, when pizza demand doesn’t require Sherman and Co. to dip into their un-aged stash.) The combination of natural yeast and a natural rise means the gluten in the dough has an opportunity to break down, which means, in theory, Sherman’s pizza shouldn’t sit like a brick in your stomach. It also tastes good, which matters, and has a consistency very similar to New York-style slices, which also matters — a thin crisp with a little chew and a little sop. Sherman says she creates this by using an electric oven, which doesn’t cook it so fast it gets crispy, as it would in a wood-burning stove, nor too slow as in a gasfired stove, where it can get thick and chewy. The varieties Sherman creates atop the dough are all hers, and they give Audrey Jane’s Pizza Garage a bit of distinction: creative white pizzas, belly-busting Sicilians and a cadre of spicy red sauce pies. There’s a spot-on cheese blend that creates tasty orange grease characteristic of a New York-style slice, and Sherman balances that with a commitment to fresh vegetables and meat toppings. That unique formula translated into national acclaim when Guy Fieri came calling and featured the Pizza Garage on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Sherman says they’ve been swamped ever since. It was “a pleasant surprise” to be on the show, she says, particularly given her background in food media, but that it wasn’t what the shop would ultimately pin its reputation on. “I watched it at home, and I was like, ‘That’s enough.’ Just one time. I wanted to make sure the food looked good, and the place looked nice,” she says. “I mean, sure, yeah, I’d like to have my own show on the Food Network. That sounds pretty good. But that’s not my ultimate goal. I love being here, and we have so many regulars and I love that interaction.” Sherman is already looking for a second location in Boulder. Her sense that the city needed a place to stop in for a slice — as opposed to another thin-crust, artisan, Neapolitan shop, or a sit-down pizzeria — has been validated. Oh, and another similarity between writing and pizza: you can pick up or set down either of them when you’re ready. Though the Pizza Garage is a hit, writing is in Sherman’s bones. “I used to write more; now I’m too busy and I don’t. Ideally I always want to incorporate the two in my life. ... I would love to do that,” Sherman says. “We haven’t quite gotten there yet.” Until then, Sherman will tell stories not with pen and paper, but with dough, sauce and cheese. What, too cheesy?

f you’re a dedicated craft beer drinker, it’s going to happen sooner or later. No matter your poison, be it India pale ale, stout or saison, it’s going to happen: you’re going to drink something fermented with Brettanomyces, and your understanding of what beer is and what beer can be is going to change. For some, that won’t be a particularly pleasant experience, but for the rest, it’ll knock down the walls of preconceptions and assumptions with sour and funk. But what the heck is Brettanomyces and what’s it doing in your beer? Simply put, Brettanomyces — or Brett, as it’s commonly notated — is a yeast strain that grows naturally on fruit skins. Yeast not only converts sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide, but it also produces a wide variety of flavors and aromas depending on the strains used. Nowadays, brewers typically use one yeast strain to ferment their beer, but back before brewing became a sanitized science, any number of yeast strains would turn up in a batch of beer. In particular, Brett spoils certain beers while greatly improving others. This phenomenon was investigated and eventually isolated by British scientist N. Hjelte Claussen, allowing him to name the yeast: Brettanomyces (Greek for “British fungus”) claussenii. Brettanomyces claussenii isn’t the only strain of Brett — Brettanomyces bruxellensis is used for second fermentation in Belgian beers, while Brettanomyces lambicus is used for, you guessed it, lambics — but for drinkers, the various strains aren’t what you’re looking for, just the notation of “Brett” on your beer. What can you expect from a Brett beer? Plenty. While most exhibit a sour nose and a tart flavor; others will exhibit spicy and smoky qualities. A few even have the distinct aroma of a farmhouse and horse blanket. Yes, those last two may not make your mouth water, but sometimes you’re just not in the mood for the same old same old. Take New Image Brewing’s Dyad Kombucha Brett Saison, made in collaboration with Rowdy Mermaid Kombucha. Here the Brett combines the refreshing kombucha flavors of funk and sour with the zesty qualities of a saison. Vision Quest — the place to go in Boulder for funky and off-kilter beer — has also been known to have a Brett saison on tap (theirs favors the pepper), as does Nighthawk Brewery in Broomfield (theirs is brighter and more tropical in nature). Plenty more Colorado brewers favor Brettanomyces in all its glory — Black Project, Cellar West, Crooked Stave, Odd13 and the forthcoming Primitive Ales — and each brewer’s approach and use of Brett is what gives this particular yeast strain a specific sense of space. A super clean and crisp lager may quench your thirst, but it’s not going to transport you to the woodshed behind your grandpa’s barn. Brett can do that; it’s the building block for wild and indigenous ales and where beer drinkers turn when they need something left of center. Boulder Weekly

ARIES

MARCH 21-APRIL 19: The British science fiction TV

show Dr. Who has appeared on BBC in 40 of the last 54 years. Over that span, the titular character has been played by 13 different actors. From 2005 until 2010, Aries actor David Tennant was the magic, immortal, time-traveling Dr. Who. His ascendance to the role fulfilled a hopeful prophecy he had made about himself when he was 13 years old. Now is an excellent time for you, too, to predict a glorious, satisfying or successful occurrence in your own future. Think big and beautiful!

TAURUS

APRIL 20-MAY 20: New York City is the most densely

populated city in North America. Its land is among the most expensive on earth; one estimate says the average price per acre is $16 million. Yet there are two uninhabited islands less than a mile off shore in the East River: North Brother Island and South Brother Island. Their combined 16 acres are theoretically worth $256 million. But no one goes there or enjoys it; it’s not even parkland. I bring this to your attention, Taurus, because I suspect it’s an apt metaphor for a certain situation in your life: a potentially rich resource or influence that you’re not using. Now is a good time to update your relationship with it.

GEMINI

MAY 21-JUNE 20: The iconic 1942 movie Casablanca

won three Academy Awards and has often appeared on critics’ lists of the greatest films ever made. That’s amazing considering the fact that the production was so hectic. When shooting started, the script was incomplete. The writing team frequently presented the finished version of each new scene on the day it was to be filmed. Neither the director nor the actors knew how the plot would resolve until the end of the process. I bring this to your attention, Gemini, because it reminds me of a project you have been working on. I suggest you start improvising less and planning more. How do you want this phase of your life to climax?

CANCER

JUNE 21-JULY 22: If all goes well in the coming weeks, you will hone your wisdom about how and when and why to give your abundant gifts to deserving recipients — as well as how and when and why to not give your abundant

gifts to deserving recipients. If my hopes come to pass, you will refine your ability to share your tender depths with worthy allies — and you will refine your understanding of when to not share your tender depths with worthy allies. Finally, Cancerian, if you are as smart as I think you are, you will have a sixth sense about how to receive as many blessings as you disseminate.

Their expedition was powered by 20 Sherpa guides, 13 other mountaineers and 362 porters who lugged 10,000 pounds of baggage. I bring this to your attention, Aquarius, in the hope that it will inspire you. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to gather more of the human resources and raw materials you will need for your rousing expedition later this year.

PISCES

FEB. 19-MARCH 20: Although her work is among the

best Russian literature of the twentieth century, poet Marina Tsvetayeva lived in poverty. When fellow poet Rainer Maria Rilke asked her to describe the kingdom of heaven, she said, “Never again to sweep floors.” I can relate. To earn a living in my early adulthood, I washed tens of thousands of dishes in restaurant kitchens. Now that I’m grown up, one of my great joys is to avoid washing dishes. I invite you to think along these lines, Pisces. What seemingly minor improvements in your life are actually huge triumphs that evoke profound satisfaction? Take inventory of small pleasures that are really quite miraculous.

Dear Dan: I’m a 33-year-old woman from Melbourne, Australia, dating a 24-year-old man. We’ve been dating for about eight months; it is exclusive and official. He’s kind and sweet, caring and giving, and his penis is divine. The thing is, he confessed to me recently that he doesn’t really “feel.” The way he explained it is, the only emotions he feels are fear and anxiousness that he’ll disappoint the people he cares about. He says he’s never been in love. He said his dad is the same way. The only times I see him really “feel” are when he’s high, which he is semi-frequently. He uses MDMA and he comes alive. He seems the way a “normal” person does when they’re in love, but when he’s sober, it’s like he’s trying to mimic the things a person in love would say or do. I confessed I am falling in love with him recently and told him I wasn’t saying this with any expectation of him feeling the same; I just wanted him to know. He responded that he cares for me a lot — but that’s it. I’m now worried that he’ll never love me. I don’t want kids, so time isn’t critical for me, but I don’t want to be with someone who won’t ever love me. —Lacking One Vaunted Emotion Dear LOVE: You didn’t use the P-word (psychopath) or the S-word (sociopath), LOVE, but both came to

Boulder Weekly

SAVAGE by Dan Savage

mind as I was reading your letter. Someone who isn’t capable of feeling? Isn’t that textbook P-word/S-word stuff? “The fear with someone who doesn’t ‘feel’ is that they may be a psychopath or a sociopath, terms that are used interchangeably,” said Jon Ronson, author of The Psychopath Test: A Journey Through the Madness Industry. “And lots of the items on the psychopath checklist relate to an inability to experience deep emotions — like Shallow Affect, Lack of Empathy and Lack of Remorse. However, I have good news for LOVE! This line: ‘The only emotions he really feels are fear and anxiousness that he’ll disappoint the people he cares about’ is the critical one. Psychopaths do not feel anxiety. In fact, my favorite thing a psychologist said to me about this was: ‘If you’re worried you may be psychopath, that means you aren’t one.’ Also, psychopaths don’t care about disappointing loved-ones! All those emotions that relate to an overactive amygdala — fear, remorse, guilt,

Love

regret, empathy — psychopaths don’t feel them.” So your boyfriend’s not a psychopath. Not that you asked. But, you know, just in case you were worried. Anyway... My hunch is that your boyfriend’s problem isn’t an inability to feel love, LOVE, but an inability to recognize the feelings he’s having as love. (Or potentially love, as it’s only been eight months.) What is romantic love but a strong desire to be with someone? The urge to be sweet to them, to take care of them, to do for them? Maybe he’s just going through the motions with you — a conscious mimic-it-tillyou-make it strategy — or maybe the double whammy of a damaged dad and that toxic masculinity stuff sloshing around out there left him blocked, LOVE, or emotionally constipated. And while MDMA can definitely be abused — moderation in all things, kids, including moderation — the effect it has on him is a hopeful sign. MDMA is not an emotional hallucinogen; the drug has been used in cou-

ples counseling and to treat PTSD, not because it makes us feel things that aren’t there (in the way a hallucinogen makes us see things that aren’t there), but because it allows genuine feelings to surface and, for a few hours, to be felt intensely. So he can feel love — he just has to learn how to tap into those feelings and/or recognize them without an assist from MDMA. Jon Ronson had one last bit of advice for you, LOVE: “Marry him and his divine penis!” I agree with Jon, of course, but a long, leisurely engagement is definitely in order. You’ve only been seeing this guy and his divinity dick for eight months — don’t propose to him for at least another year, LOVE, and make marriage conditional upon him seeing a shrink four times as often as he sees his MDMA dealer.

Pot: A bridge between generations

n the past, I went to great lengths to hide my cannabis habit from my parents. After smoking, I had a ritual of using eye drops, sunglasses, mints, febreeze and a carefully considered, ready-to-go excuse as to why I couldn’t sit and chat with them the moment I walked through the door. A lot of people can relate to jumping through similar hoops. Raihan Rana/Wikimedia Commons

However, now that the laws around marijuana are progressing, so should the conversations about it with our parents. As it turns out, millennials like myself aren’t the only ones enjoying the perks of legalization. According to a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, since 2002, regular marijuana use among Americans age 45 to 54 has increased by nearly 50 percent. Among those age 55 to 64, it’s jumped by a

Boulder Weekly

whopping 455 percent (no, that’s not a typo). And among seniors, age 65-plus, monthly marijuana use is up 333 percent. There are many reasons to explain why aging boomers are lighting up. With medical and recreational marijuana becoming readily available in more states every year, our culture around it is shifting as stigmas drop and attitudes relax. Our society is becoming more open and educated to the benefits, so older people are turning to medical pot to treat aches and pains, arthritis, fibromyalgia, glaucoma and other common ailments of old age. This is also why medicare prescriptions for painkillers are falling in states that allow medical marijuana — seniors are choosing it over traditional medicine. Another explanation is that older users are feeling nostalgic and want to relive the glory days of their youth now that it’s more available than ever. It’s likely they were smoking weed long before their children were born, or maybe they never stopped smoking in the first place, but can be more open about it now that they’re empty nesters and no longer have to set an example for children. All of this has produced the perfect opportunity for younger generations to bond with their parents on a higher level. Finding out my dad also smokes weed was

one of the greatest moments in our relationship. My father is a lot more reserved than I am, so it felt like a revelation when, a couple years ago, we were sitting on his deck, watching the sunset over the Chesapeake Bay, and he very casually took a joint out of his pocket and said, “My friends brought me back this funnysmelling cigarette from Colorado, should we smoke it?” For us, smoking weed brought us closer. Marijuana is a big part of my lifestyle, so sharing it with my dad is another way of inviting him into my life. Being open about it has made our communication feel more authentic because I can just be myself and not have to lie about what I’m doing. It also meant finding out we have more in common. Like, oh Dad, you don’t care about society’s bullshit? Cool, me neither! It’s also been a very humanizing experience. I like my dad when he’s stoned, and it’s helped me see him as a real person and not just my dad. We have similar mannerisms and share the same hobbies and sense of humor, so getting stoned and climbing mountains with him has taken our bond to a whole new level. We basically do a lot of the same stuff I would do when I get high with my friends, except my dad is super bougie, so when we get the munchies, we eat somewhere classy and he pays for everything. I’m not suggesting that you ask your parents to do dabs the next time they come visit, but sharing an occasional holiday joint could be chill. Your first friendships were likely with your parents, and a close relationship with them is amazing to have as an adult, so try to connect with them in that way the next time you’re home if you think it’s something they’d be into. Besides, it’s going to be so much more entertaining than bringing out the old childhood photo albums again.

Three dots in a cloud of haze...

e Too, and not in a good way... Colorado may have legalized pot in 2012, but the war on other drugs has continued throughout the state, with a staggering increase in felony drug incarcerations and a disproportionate impact on women... an analysis of court and prison data by the Colorado Criminal Justice Reform Coalition found there were twice as many felony drug case filings in 2017 (15,323) compared to 2012 (7,424), and that the vast majority of them (75 percent) were for simple possession... From 2015 to 2016, the number of people sentenced to prison specifically for drug possession increased 17 percent overall and 24 percent among women... The study didn’t break down the number of cases for particular drugs, but presumably most of them were for opioids, cocaine and meth... it did say that only 5 percent were for felony pot offenses... • • • Pee in a toilet, not in a cup... Some 56 percent of American employers require pre-employment drug tests, but there are some fields where you can find work without taking one... the website Insider Monkey compiled a list of some occupations in which hardly anyone (fewer than 4 percent) is asked to pee for a job... The pee-free workplace list includes information technology, marketing, real estate/insurance/finance, bartending, graphic design/copy writing, and — surprise — management... • • • Candidates embrace marijuana... Democratic candidates anyway... In Illinois all six candidates in the Democratic primary for governor favor legalizing recreational marijuana... the two candidates on the Republican side, including incumbent governor Bruce Rauner, don’t, which means legalization is apt to be a major issue in November... In Michigan, both

Democratic candidates for state attorney general are for legalization, although one of them, former U.S. Attorney Patrick Miles, is a Johnny-come-lately to the issue... Up until recently Miles wouldn’t take a position on the issue, saying it was up to the voters to decide... Now, upon further reflection, he’s changed his mind... As U.S. Attorney, he sent people to prison for marijuana violations... his opponent, Dana Nessel, is an outspoken supporter of legalization and has the endorsement of the group that’s petitioning a legalization initiative onto the November ballot in the state... In Massachusetts, Congressman Joe Kennedy, the guy who gave the Democratic answer to Trump’s State of the Union speech, is also “reconsidering” his past anti-pot positions now that he’s being talked about for higher office... As a Congressman, Kennedy opposed Massachusetts’ legalization initiative and in Congress voted against amendments to shield state

medical marijuana laws from federal interference, allow military veterans to access medical marijuana, and protect children who use cannabidiol extracts to treat seizures... Now he says he’s prepared to support states that legalize pot and put in place “the proper safeguards and procedures...” In Ohio, former Congressman, former Cleveland Mayor and current gubernatorial candidate Dennis Kucinich says legalize it... Two other Dem governor hopefuls agree... One Republican U.S. Senate candidate has come out in support of medical marijuana — Arizona’s Joe Arpaio of all people... Arpaio, who billed himself as “America’s toughest sheriff ” before he was convicted of criminal contempt of court and defeated for re-election, decided to run for the Senate after he was pardoned by President Trump... He says he “still can’t understand why you can’t go to a drug store on a prescription and get this type of drug... The medical dispensaries, I kind of support it if it can help the sick people...” • • • The Minority Cannabis Business Association, (MCBA) in partnership with the University of Denver’s Daniels College of Business and the Hoban Law Group, is sponsoring an Opportunity Summit March 22-24 in Denver... Keynote speaker is former Denver Broncos running back and Hall of Famer Terrell Davis... • • • Pot against opiates in Minnesota... Pot’s winning... Investigators assessed the prescription drug use patterns of 2,245 intractable pain patients enrolled in the state’s medical cannabis acces program. Among the patients taking opiates for pain upon enrollment in the program, 63 percent “were able to reduce or eliminate their opioid use after six months...” Medical marijuana patients in Michigan experienced almost identical results…
