he basic problem facing the corporate and political powers who want you and me to swallow their Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) deal is that they can’t make chicken salad out of chicken manure. But that reality hasn’t stopped their PR campaign, which pitches their “salad” as good and good for you! For

example, a corporate front group called the Peterson Institute for International Economics recently issued a study blaring the happy news that TPP will increase real incomes in the U.S. by $131 billion a year. Even if that was true (and plenty of other studies show that it’s not), it’s a statistic meant to dazzle rather than enlighten, for it skates around the real bottom line for the American public: An increase in income for whom? In the past 15 years or so, and especially since 2008, it’s been made perfectly clear to the workaday majority of people that the corporate mantra of “income growth” benefitting everyone is a deliberate lie. Practically all of the massive annual increases in U.S. income, which every worker helps produce, now gushes up to the richest one-percent, with millionaires and billionaires (the one-tenth of 1-percenters) grabbing the bulk of it. Economists have a technical term for

this: “stealing.” TPP is written specifically to sanction and increase the robbery of the many by the world’s moneyed few, including provisions that give additional incentives to U.S. manufacturers to ship more of our middle-class jobs to places like Vietnam, with minimum wages under 65 cents an hour! Don’t be bamboozled by glittery studies. TPP is a manure salad tossed together by the super-rich to further enrich themselves at our expense, and it would intentionally exacerbate the widening gulf of inequality in America.

WHAT IS CERTAIN

game-changer in a host of different ways, ranging from using the city’s street network more efficiently to putting privately owned cars to work while their owners are at work instead of occupying parking places, for example. To this end, Boulder should ask Google to make it an early test city for self-driving vehicle technology. Deploying vehicles that are completely autonomous is still probably several years away, but testing them with human back-up drivers could probably start immediately if the city chooses to allow it. And Boulder could make a real contribution to autonomous and semiautonomous vehicle operation by designing and installing a dedicated communications network that would allow self-driving vehicles to communicate with each other. Partnering with Google, which is already a Boulder corporate citizen and is in the process of becoming a much bigger one, should be a nobrainer for both Boulder and Google. Given Google’s location — at the corner of Pearl and 30th — and given the amount of parking it is intending to provide (probably not enough), Google is going to need some innovative ways to get its employees to and from work. As for Boulder, it clearly needs some innovative ways of dealing with what is rapidly turning into a transportation crisis. Will these approaches make a difference? We won’t know until we try them out. My guess is the most important factor for success is whether governments find reasons to make them succeed or reasons to make them fail (like bureaucratic foot-dragging, allowing itself to become entangled in its own red tape, and death by political process). Unfortunately, local government has become pretty good at the latter in recent years. What is certain is that all the old strategies for moving traffic (and for managing growth and protecting the environment for that matter) are pretty played out and accomplished all that can be expected of them. And that without some fundamentally new strategies and approaches in government — starting with a can-do attitude to problem-solving instead of a can’t do, won’t do, don’t do one — the problem isn’t going to get solved and will only get worse.

Beet Field Community Brainstorm

Occasionally, a stray copy of Boulder Weekly makes it over here to the hinterlands of Chaffee County. A visitor left us your Feb 25th issue, and I just read with surprise and dismay your update on growing GMO crops on Boulder County open space lands. Commissioner Cindy Domenico’s lament over the lack of alternative ideas from the public at the time GMO sugar beets were first considered is simply not true! I served as an original member of Boulder County’s Food and Agriculture Policy Council (FAPC), which in late 2008 was asked by the commissioners for a recommendation regarding growing GMO sugar beets on countyowned agricultural lands. Each FAPC member received and reviewed a mountain of literature on the issue from the County Department of Parks and Open Space (POS). Noticing that the materials provided were heartily in support of growing GMOs, the FAPC did a great deal of additional research to round out its understanding. As an FAPC member in the summer of 2009, I called a public meeting of interested parties to brainstorm the situation, inviting the general public, the sugar beet farmers, POS staff and the commissioners. The room at Lefthand Brewery in Longmont was packed, one wall was covered in huge swaths of paper, people loosened up with a beer or two, and even one brave sugar beet farmer showed up. We covered the entire wall with ideas, floor to ceiling — terrible ideas, brilliant ideas, ridiculous ideas, intriguing ideas, economic ideas, agricultural ideas, social ideas, practical ideas, visionary ideas,

some pure genius and a whole lot of crap — like any thorough brainstorm. We held a follow-up meeting at the county fairgrounds, clarifying and organizing the brainstorm into a presentable format. We did nothing to evaluate the ideas, leaving that for the county agricultural staff, for the farmers, and for local entrepreneurs who might find value in them. Market and other conditions have changed since 2009, so any analysis would yield different conclusions today. In particular, industrial hemp is now on the scene and solar electric panels have dropped significantly in price. I created a report from the 15 charts generated at that meeting: Beet Field Community Brainstorm — Possibilities for Transforming Production on Boulder County Open Space Lands that Currently Support Sugar beets. After a brief introduction, the charts were presented, including Possible Crops, Possible Value-Added Products, Available Resources, Processing and Storage Facilities, Evaluation Criteria, and Possible Long- and Short-term Strategies. A spreadsheet of over 50 potential crops summarized everything, and a color chart captured the process. Given a few minutes to speak about the Brainstorm near the start of the next public hearing, I handed copies of the document personally to Commissioner Pearlman, Commissioner Toor and Commissioner Domenico, as well as to POS staff, who were well aware of it at the time. It was clearly not, as BW quoted Commissioner Domenico, that the public offered only “all-or-nothing demands.” It was that the public was ignored. In the end, a large majority of the Boulder Weekly

letters FAPC — the county’s very own agriculture council — recommended to the commissioners that GMO sugar beets NOT be grown on county-owned open space lands. I never heard back from anyone about the Brainstorm. Thank you to the many fine people who contributed their time, energy and creativity to the Brainstorm project! Copies are available upon request.

Cáceres’ blood is on Hillary’s hands

Thank you, Boulder Weekly, for publishing “Paying the Price: Indigenous environmental activists have become targets of violence” (3/24) by Angela K. Evans. Yes, the persecution these activists are suffering deserves greater attention, particularly the March 3rd assassination in Honduras of the internationally renowned and Goldman Environmental Prize-award winning Berta Cáceres. What’s interesting is what the piece doesn’t mention. Perhaps Evans feels she’d be seen as partisan for saying it, but the blood of Berta Cáceres is on the hands of Hillary Clinton. In 2006, Honduras elected a reformist president, Manuel Zelaya, a member of the wealthy Honduran elite, but one with a conscience and an agenda that included the vast majority of poor Hondurans. In 2009, as has so often happened throughout Latin America over the last decades, a U.S.armed, -trained and -funded military staged a coup. This was in violation of international law, of course, and Latin American leaders, in particular, asked that the election results be honored, that Zelaya be returned to power. The all-important U.S. decision rested in the hands of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Would the U.S. do the right thing, the legal thing? No, the U.S. called for new elections. Two problems: First, in calling for new elections, Clinton de facto legitimized the coup by agreeing that the Zelaya election would be nullified. Second, while a new election might sound good in theory, in a state under martial law, in a nation with functioning right-wing death squads, the notion of a free and fair election is nonsense — and Hillary Clinton knew this. A March 11, 2016 Democracy Now! story, “Before Her Assassination, Berta Cáceres Singled Out Hillary Clinton for Backing Honduran Coup,” has Cáceres blaming Clinton for a sort of rolling coup; in other words, the fascist violence that was unleashed in the Zelaya overthrow was never checked, and today, it continues in terror directed at those struggling against huge interBoulder Weekly

national hydroelectric companies and banks, as Evans well explains. Yes, Hillary likes to portray herself as an advocate for women, as someone who as president would protect our environment and respect human rights, but ask the ghost of murdered Berta Cáceres, and she will tell you her blood is on Hillary’s hands.

Go Donald

Once again Donald Trump has

made the major media and his detractors look like idiots. Apparently in 2012 we gave Mexico over $200,000,000 in aid. In 10 years that’s a billion dollars. So the past corrupt president of Mexico, Vicente Fox may want the Donald to F himself, but the fact of the matter is that $200,000,000 plus a year plus the savings in food stamps and other social services will eventually get the job done. The real problem is that we have a

president that armed ISIS, and allowed ISIS into the U.S., wants to start WW III with Russia over Syria and does everything to let the millions of illegals swarming over our Mexican border stay. But I can’t be mad at Obama in that he is only doing what his mother and father would want him to do. That is to take down America. If they don’t take Trump out like they took out JFK, our nation has hope of greatness again. Joseph DuPont/Towanda,PA

news CONFERENCE ON WORLD AFFAIRS

by Boulder Weekly Staff

he 68th annual Conference on World Affairs hits Boulder on April 4 and runs through April 8. Yes, that Conference on World Affairs, the one that’s been embroiled in controversy for the past couple of years over who should control the event. But here’s the deal. Despite the ongoing squabbling, there are still hundreds of local volunteers giving their time and energy to make this year’s conference another wild success. The people of Boulder are once again opening their homes to panelists and providing them rides to and from the airport. And best of all, a whole bunch of really smart and creative people from all across the country are once again descending on the University of Colorado Boulder to participate on panels, where amazing and important subjects will be discussed for free and everyone is welcome. And as has always been the tradition, panelists will be taking questions from students of all ages and any members of the community who feel the urge to be enlightened. In short, CWA remains one of the year’s most important opportunities for Boulder County residents. So don’t miss the year’s best discussions of politics, arts, life, the environment and so much more over something like, well, politics. As is the tradition at BW, we have chosen a few of the panels that you’ll have the chance to see next week and are previewing them just to whet your appetite. If these examples are any indication, it’s going to be a great year for Conference on World Affairs.

Not Your Mother’s Feminism 4 p.m. Thursday, April 7, UMC 235

n her early 20s, journalist Bonnie Burton was heavy into the ’90s punk music scene. But concerts were a hassle — as men gravitated toward the front, women were pushed to the back. “Unless you knew how to throw a punch, you wouldn’t be able to get up front at some of these shows that were more hardcore punk bands,” Burton says. When the Riot Grrrl movement came along, Burton finally found a musical haven, which sparked a lifelong flame for justice. “[The bands] would say, ‘Girls to the front!’ ... And that was the first kind of inkling for me to say, ‘Oh yeah, we deserve to see the concert as much as anybody else,” she says. “It put that seed in my mind of, ‘We deserve this too,’ which to me is what feminism is all about.” Twenty years later, Burton is still outspoken about feminism and the need for gender equality in her work. Burton will be a part of the Not Your Mother’s Feminism panel at CWA, along with Vivian Nixon, Vivian Onano and Kathleen Adams. Boulder Weekly

Millennial Culture is an Oxymoron 3:30 p.m. Thursday, April 7, Old Main Chapel

illennials are maligned. Attached to them by older generations are the undesirable qualities of self-centeredness, short attention spans, feelings of entitlement and a lack of social skills. But do millennials contribute and advance art and culture? And are those accusations just the latest in the longrunning tradition of “kids these days” frustration levied by generations past? These are the questions that will face the aptly Ryan Lash named Millennial Culture is an Oxymoron panel on April 7. Millennial is the name for the generation of people born roughly between 1980 and 2000. Millennials are the first generation to grow up in the so-called digital age, and many received their first cell phones, email addresses and computers around puberty. This familiarity with technol- Ty Tashiro ogy has characterized millennials, and shaped the way they view the world — and how Generation X, baby boomer and silent generation predecessors view them. “It was 1960, and I was training in England,” says panel moderator Christopher Sarson, a long-time child psychologist and television producer. “One of the rules that editors told you you had to do was to put a picture on the screen for at least three seconds so that people could absorb it. Look at the way that has changed, look at the montages and impressions of these hundreds of pictures in 60 seconds, which give you the impression of something instead of the detail.” That there is only an impression of substance and originality is the argument against millennial popular culture, which consists of things like selfies, photo filters, clickbait websites like Buzzfeed, Snapchat, nostalgic TV and movie remakes, and more. But those arguments are only half-true because every generation has levels of originality and creation, says panelist and photographer Alexandra Huddleston. Take photography, for instance. With phones equipped with high-quality lenses and editing software, amateurs can take decent-looking shots, but that will never replace the cultural need or desire for higher-quality photography, Huddleston says. “The bar over time has gotten lower and lower and lower. It’s like writing,” she says. “If you’re writing text messages to your friends, sure, you’re a writer. And you accept the quality that your friends write the same as with pictures they take. But there are different levels, and some people can appreciate those lev12 March 31, 2016

els.” With a new ubiquity of venues to share art, gatekeepers like record companies, publishing houses and newspapers have become sparse. That means, for every opportunity for good art to be consumed, there’s an equal opportunity for bad art. “I do think we’ve gone through a period where sometimes people who are obsessed with the technology itself have lost sight of the importance of editors, of curators,” Huddleston says. “So you do have that issue, but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t a place that you can go to to get quality.” The only millennial on the panel, Max Nanis, works in the cracks between current popular culture, both online and in reality. As a conceptual artist, programmer and computational biologist, Nanis uses current technology to create beneficial and unique art and programs. For instance, Nanis created a book of poetry out of responses to questions about life from users of Amazon’s Mechanical Turk marketplace, a place where anyone can take a basic data entry job for Courtesy of CWA

mere cents per project. Or, there’s the program that changes YouTube view counts in your browser to the number of human lives it would take to watch that video that many times. Plus there’s the “biologybased” card game that tries to use data gathered from numerous users to determine predictive patterns for breast cancer. “No millennial had a choice to be a millennial. They didn’t know any other medium or any other way to create art,” Nanis says, adding that if he were born 100 years ago, it’s not like he would be unproductive. “I would find some way to convert my contemporary interests into the available media at the time.” There seems to be an agreement among the panel that the issue is not with millennials per se; the issue is perhaps with everyone adjusting to technological advances. So why is there a stigma about millennials and about the culture they are creating? “There’s always been a lot of repurposing of content and form. No one has any ability to create a novel thought. To assume the baby boomers were apparently more creative or original is total rubbish,” Nanis says. “People romanticize their own struggle. They have the sense that their child has it easier than them.” Nanis adds that that generational blame goes both ways, saying that “anybody that gets mad at previous generations is selfish” because “if you have a millennial complain that a previous generation gets a job more easily or whatever, I would say, ‘One: You are younger. Pull an all-nighter, and get shit done, and take that person’s job. Two: Remind yourself they are old and

cannot work as hard as you. Put more into it if you want more out of it.’ I want to die knowing that was my work ethic.” Huddleston, a self-proclaimed member of an inbetween generation, says she wonders why there’s a need to label millennials at all since everyone contributing to culture today is dealing with technology and the new opportunities and problems it presents. “We live in an incredibly capitalistic society, so one of the things that goes on with this type of label is that people who like to create markets are creating markets by defining people in such a way,” she says. But that doesn’t mean that there aren’t unique characteristics about millennials to market to — or hail/complain about. Panelist and author Ty Tashiro recently wrote about dating patterns among millennials, an exercise that revealed beneficial qualities of the generation. “Millennials seem to be committed to think about quality friendships and quality connections,” Tashiro, who has a Ph.D. in psychology, says. “They seem to be committed to, ‘How can we do this marriage thing better?’ Some people see it as being skittish or noncommittal, but the better take is that they’re being thoughtful.” When asked to speculate, Tashiro says the lasting legacy of the millenials might be that they’re invested in the truth over all. “They just got so much marketing and so much BS from big institutions that reached its peak right before the financial crash,” Tashiro says. “I think there was a lot of growth out of that, and I think that was millennial-driven. ... I think some of the criticisms leveled at millennials — that they’re complainers and that they shift jobs a lot — I don’t see it as driven by a lack of work ethic or a lack of caring or thoughtfulness, I think it’s the opposite, but I think they just have to thrash around.” Sarson, the moderator, says he won’t speculate on the future creations of millenials, but that Donald Trump is an outpouring of the impressions, and not substance, created by the technology age. Nanis shares a lack of interest in speculating legacy, but puts it a little more bluntly. “That’s a historian’s job,” he says. “I would never waste my life to take a snapshot and to relish this time of my life.”

The Myth of the Rational Voter 1 p.m. Friday, April 8, Macky Auditorium.

mericans’ record on civic engagement has slowly declined as voter turnout has hovered just at or below 50 percent, with few exceptions, since the 1960s. In the 2014 midterm elections, only 34.6 percent of eligible voters showed up at the polls, the lowest turnout since World War II. But midterm elections always draw a smaller crowd and presidential election years tend to see larger numbers, with 2008 boasting the largest turnout, both in the primaries and general election, in over 40 years. This election year is turning out to be record setting as well. According to the Pew Research Center, the Republican presidential primary has already Boulder Weekly

drawn over 17 percent of eligible voters, with more than a dozen states yet to weigh in. This is up from an 11.6 percent previous high in 1980. In this environment, both Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders, at first considered fringe candidates, have only increased in popularity, much to the dismay of the establishment in their own parties. And this brings into question the thought processes, perceptions and motivations of the average voter — their rationality if you will. “In this election cycle, you could say, and you see it on both sides of the spectrum, that there is a high degree of anger,” says Robert Kaufman, a participant in this year’s CWA, a professor of public policy at Pepperdine University and professed neo-conservative who has written extensively about foreign policy in the Bush and Obama administrations. “Is it rational to be angry? Perhaps. Is it rational to manifest your anger in the way it’s been manifested? Not necessarily. ... We’ve had angry periods in American politics; what’s different about this is the more untethered nature of the anger.” Daniel Stid, a CWA participant who works at the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, has also taken notice of the overall voter sentiment this Courtesy of CWA Courtesy of CWA year, calling it “frustration” rather than anger. He is the director of the Madison Initiative, which supports deliberation, negotiation and compromise in Congress, as will as the communication between members of Congress and the people they represent. “A lot of people are deeply unhappy and frustrated with how Robert Kaufman Daniel Stid the system is working and to the extent that both political parties are Courtesy of CWA Courtesy of CWA reflecting their priorities,” he says. For Stid, this problem stems from two central issues: a decline in both American civics education and the media’s coverage of Congress. “There’s a tension in our understanding of democracy in that we want to believe and think as citizens of a democratic country that we have the wherewithal and ability to Mary G. Wilson Jeffrey Smith understand the issues and develop a firm view on what should be done about them, identify the candidates that reflect that point of view and then vote for them,” Stid says. “But there’s problems with that although they are reasonable assumptions.” This shouldn’t cast doubt on the American democratic process, however. “We are not called upon as individual voters to decide what we should do in a given instance, but because we have a representative democracy we are called upon to choose people to decide on our behalf,” Stid says. “Just because we don’t have a universal dispassionate grasp on the issues doesn’t mean that we as voters can’t choose the people who are making these laws and choose who over time should be holding power.” In terms of access to information, Stid doesn’t so much blame the voter for this lack of knowledge but rather larger players such the corporately controlled media. He also points to the declining media coverage of Congress, as larger newspapers in many states no longer have reporters in Washington. Panelist Mary G. Wilson, past national president of the League of Women Voters, also attributes the increased polarization of voters to a lack of information. “Part of the problem in the last maybe 20 years is that voters are bombarded with these little snippets of information through candidate advertisements or through the media and they don’t necessarily get the full picture,” she says. “And so they respond, and they rationally vote in accordance with their perception [which] is based on the information that has been presented to them. ... I come to the conclusion that voters are acting rationally. They just may not be voting the way that they would if they had all the information that would be good to have.” But Kaufman disagrees with this theory. “It’s very dangerous to be patroniz-

ing and say if somebody disagrees with you the information is flawed,” he says. “There’s plenty of information out there, we have more information now than we’ve ever had before. ... It’s the recipient of the information, not the lack of information itself.” Panelist Jeffrey Smith, for one, has spent 20 years researching the available information for himself. As an anti-GMO advocate, he is the founding director of the Institute for Responsible Technology, which has become a major source for consumers, policy makers and health professionals about the risks associated with GMOs. Based on his research, Smith believes the biotech industry uses powerful lobbying and financial contributions “to skew perceptions and choices,” creating misinformation campaigns that target specifically members of Congress but also trickle down to the individual voter. And he believes this creates a culture of shame that manipulates citizens who may disagree with corporate interests. “There’s a lot of disempowerment that’s associated with the corporate disinformation programs,” Smith says. “They are saying, ‘Don’t pay attention to your own opinions, don’t pay attention to your intuition, don’t pay attention to others. Ignore others and listen to us.’ And that [shaming] mechanism is the foundation of why some of these campaigns are so effective. ... It’s using human nature in a way that’s counterproductive.” Regardless, Smith sees a growing force of empowerment coming from activists, nonprofits and other groups that let people know they don’t have to be ashamed of differing opinions, and it’s manifesting itself in the marketplace. “There’s a sense in the U.S. that real change happens in politics, and I think so often politics follows real change,” Smith concludes. If recent voter turnout is any indication, perhaps political change is coming. While some are concerned about who is voting and how they are voting, Wilson, for one, would just be happy to see more people vote. “Whether they vote rationally or irrationally,” she says, “you’d wish they’d vote.”

Terrorism and the Role of the Media 9 a.m. Wednesday, April 6, Macky Auditorium

ithin hours of the attacks in Brussels on March 22, Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump told NBC’s Savannah Guthrie and Matt Lauer that if he were president he would torture terrorist suspects. “Frankly, the waterboarding, if it was up to me, and if we changed the laws or had the laws, waterboarding would be fine,’’ Trump told NBC via phone. “If they could expand the laws, I would do a lot more than waterboarding. You have to get the information from these people.” Then Guthrie chimed in. Courtesy of CWA “If you talk to experts who do these interrogations, you often find a division,” she said. “Some people think that kind of harsh interrogation technique works and will deliver you the information and others say it doesn’t work, you will get false information. Are you in the camp that harsh interrogation — let’s use the word: torture — works in a case like this?” “Yes, I am. I am in that camp,” Trump responded. “I don’t believe the other people. I am in that camp. Absolutely.” Mark Fallon, an expert on terrorism and international security matters, says the NBC reporters dropped the ball in response to Trump’s “totally irresponsiMark Fallon ble” comments on torture. “[Trump’s statements] are dangerous; they could damage our national security and harm our troops. I really feel the media needs to challenge [comments like] that,” Fallon says. “An informed media ought to know how ineffective the policies of the past have been. How the [enhanced interrogation techniques] program was a disaster. What I find, often times, is the media doesn’t do the research. They 14 March 31, 2016

news haven’t read the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence torture report, the executive summary that concludes that [torture doesn’t work]. They aren’t well informed on the Senate Armed Services Committee on detainee abuse of the past. So they recycle and repeat what candidates say or what people who are not authorities on this say.” Fallon’s entire career has revolved around understanding insider threats and violent extremism; after 9/11, Fallon worked with the Department of Defense to investigate terrorist trials and assess risks associated with releasing or transferring detained terrorist suspects. On Wednesday, April 6, Fallon will join three other panelists for a discussion on terrorism and the role of media. Courtesy of CWA Among those panelists will be independent journalist and social media researcher Anna Therese Day. Like Fallon, Day agrees that journalists have a responsibility to, as CNN political analyist John Avlon put it, “call BS” on false and racist rhetoric from political candidates. “Trump and ISIS have something in common: They have managed to set the agenda for the American news cycle instead of newsmakers and journalists making informed editorial decisions about the needs of the American public and priorities and truth, which is what is so frustrating about coverage of Trump,” she says. Anna Therese Day “We don’t see enough context from journalists. They’re not bringing in voices that prove [his statements] to be racist and inaccurate. Everyone makes Trump out to be a joke, but prove it from a journalistic point of view.” Day has spent time on the ground in Bahrain, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, the Palestinian territories, Syria, South Sudan and Turkey — just to name a few places — focusing on American foreign policy, women’s issues and youth organizing. In the summer of 2013, Day was one of the first American journalists to develop close source relationships with ISIS fighters, dining with them, learning about their families. At the time, the Western world knew next to nothing about this sect of fighters that had been rejected by al-Qaeda for being too violent. Also at the time, the group still depended on traditional media outlets for exposure. But social media has changed that. “I’m a journalist who started in the Arab Spring, and I saw social media used arguably for good, to topple dictators, to empower youth movements, to empower women previously not allowed in political organizing spaces outside the domestic sphere,” Day says. “But then I also witnessed a region transform dramatically in just a few shorts years when we saw this tool turned against people, turned against minorities and turned against my colleagues, journalists, with the rise of ISIS. I’ve had a front row seat for that. I think that’s been the most powerful juxtaposition in this issue for me, how [social media] can inspire the best and empower communities and also empower the worst.” But traditional media too, in Day’s view, is playing a role in “empowering the worst.” By merely extending a platform to a candidate like Trump to express undeniably racist and inaccurate views — this is a man who condones torture, advocates building a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border, and supports a “shutdown” of Muslims entering the U.S. — Day says the American media is failing. “I think we have a very distorted view of terrorism in the U.S.,” she says. “This hyperbole in the media and elections is not only incensing but also inaccurate and leading to a frightening culture for Muslim Americans.” Fallon echoes Day’s sentiments. “For me, an informed media is the best weapon in a democratic society, those who know the facts and are wiling to challenge someone when they say things like that.” Also joining Fallon and Day on the panel is Heather Hurlburt, director of New Models of Policy Change at New America, and Oliver Morton, briefings editor at The Economist.

ustainability is an all encompassing concept that affects every part of our lives. It’s not just about science and the environment but also includes art, family, movement, politics and education. And while most of us, to some degree, wrestle with balancing the necessities and conveniences of daily living in the mod- Andrés Edwards ern world and our consumption of resources, sustainability seeks to resolve this internal conflict by providing lasting solutions. And for many of the experts addressing the topic at the Conference on World Affairs, it all starts with the individual. “You can look at the broader definition [of sustainability] in terms of living within the means of nature and looking at it into generational issues and looking at a respect for limits and looking at stewardship,” says panelist Andrés Edwards. “But ultimately I think it’s really important for each individual to figure out what is my stake in it? How can I contribute? What is my role in this?” Edwards has a varied background in sustainability consulting for numerous projects and exhibits who has written several award-winning books on the topic. But he’s principally an educator, which allows him to help people connect to larger abstract concepts. Through education, Edwards says, people are able to gain a greater understanding of themselves and the impact they have on the world around them. And with that belief, he retorts the common response he hears that one person can’t significantly contribute to sustainability on their own. “Each individual actually makes a huge difference,” Edwards says. “If you’re true and believe you’re doing something that has meaning for you, then if you take it out into the world, chances are you will have an impact.” Understanding the scale of that impact is also significant, Edwards says. While most people can’t relate sustainability on the policy level, they can contribute to it on the local level.

Last week, CSU announced a team of researchers, led by CSU but pooled from seven other universities and the United States Department of Agriculture, had won $10 million from the USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture to research ways of improving the sustainability of the Ogallala Aquifer. The Ogallala is the largest freshwater aquifer in the world, sprawling under eastern Colorado and seven other Great Plains states. Because the enormous aquifer provides water for about 30 percent of agriculture in the U.S., the U.S. Geological Survey speed of its decline from overuse has sparked concerns about how long this water supply will last. About 30 percent of the aquifer has already been depleted and 70 percent may be gone by mid-century, according to an article in Bloomberg Businessweek last year. The four-year research project brings many disciplines to bear on how communities can collaborate to make water management systems more adaptable and effective. “This project offers an opportunity for much-needed integration and collaboration to extend the life of our shared groundwater resources,” said Meagan Schipanski, the project’s lead investigator, in a press release. The project seeks to help sustain the thousands of rural communities whose economies depend on reliable water from the aquifer. But these communities are spread across a vast region and the groundwater levels in these areas vary widely, implying a need for management strategies tailored to smaller areas. With a diverse group of researchers located throughout the region, the project can observe the big picture while also keeping a close eye on the communities most affected. — Avery McGaha

1880, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released its 2016 spring climate outlook for March through June. The report explains what scientists are expecting to see throughout the nation, as strong but weakening El Niño conditions in the Pacific Ocean continue to shape how weather events play out across the country. Among other things, NOAA scientists give good chances (33 to 80 percent) for a warmer-than-average spring across much of the nation. This year’s El Niño, which FEMA/Michael Rieger peaked in November, has alleviated some drought in the Northwest. But Southern California has languished without much relief, and is expected to remain in a persistent “exceptional” drought through the spring. Mild drought conditions are currently impacting much of southern Colorado, which helped spruce beetles devastate more than 182,000 acres of forest in the mountains last year. Scientists couldn’t tell if these drought conditions were likely to change or not. Scientists broadly expect above-average temperatures across the West, with a modest chance of warmer temperatures in the western half of Colorado (33-40 percent). Colorado and New Mexico also have the highest chances (40-50 percent) of above-average precipitation this spring. Combined with the temperature projections, these expectations mean that parts of Colorado have good chances of seeing a spring that’s unusually wet, warm or both. — Avery McGaha

BUZZ LANGUAGE OF FOLDING

‘Above the Fold’ exhibition showcases origami pieces that push the technical and conceptual boundaries of the folding art

BY CHELSEA ABDULLAH

w W

hen picturing origami, one often thinks of carefully constructed, but otherwise small and simple paper-folded animals or plants. The current exhibition at the Longmont Museum, however, shows that origami art is more complex than the traditional paper crane. Above the Fold, showing through May 1, features folding at its finest. The exhibition features many renowned origami artists of both national and international backgrounds. Paper folding techniques have been discovered throughout various cultures across the world, but the word origami is of Japanese origin, with “ori” meaning to fold and “kami” meaning paper. It is still widely debated when exactly origami was invented, but many historians have drawn its origin back to the invention of paper, around 105 A.D. Origami was said to start as a part of ceremonial exchange in the sixth century, and then later became a part of many folktales, one of the most well-known being the story of the 1,000 paper cranes. The show in Longmont proves not only how far origami has spread, but also how far it has evolved. Above the Fold highlights the technical intricacies of each piece and challenges the traditional limits of size, shape and concept. Robert Lang, an artist in the exhibit that has been studying origami for several years, says that origami has recently seen an upheaval as a modern art form. “The origami that people are doing today are things that would have been thought unimaginable 10 years ago. ...” Lang says. “I’ve

been following origami since the 1960s when I got involved in it, and the artistic field has changed incredibly in terms of the complexity and realism, but also in terms of artistic statements and the types of forms and lines that people are doing today, even if they’re not complex.” Lang is showing two pieces, one whose quality is also measured by its quantity. “Vertical Pond II” is a series of 60 fish taking up an entire wall. When you follow the line of the folded figures, it feels less like folded paper on a wall and more like fish in a pond. The work was made with Origamido paper, created and produced by Michael LaFosse and Richard Alexander, who collaborated with Lang on this project to help the artist use colorful ornamental paper to accentuate the shape and beauty of koi fish. “The paper is just a joy to fold,” Lang says. “It’s beautiful, and it feels wonderful. For some time I had the idea that I wanted to create an origami design that showed off this paper in particular and hit upon the idea of doing a large school of koi fish. Koi are decorative as a subject, and they’re also very individual and unique.” Lang’s inspiration for origami started with nature and then later, as he studied technical subjects in school, he came to apply that logic to his art. “Math has played a big role in my origami because it lets me achieve things that I couldn’t do based just on intuition,” Lang says. Math has rules, and to Lang, origami soon became a similar see ORIGAMI Page 28

undertaking. He searched for order in the meticulous folds and found creativity in the details. For his other piece in the exhibit, “Pentasia,” Lang translated the mathematical practice of Penrose tiling into origami. By working and manipulating the numerical theory, Lang created a 3-D representation. The piece is a work of careful symmetry and utilizes irregular patterns that contain no gaps or overlaps. On the opposite side of the origami spectrum is Miri Golan and Paul Jackson, who focus more on storytelling. Golan and Jackson are a married couple both showing their own pieces in Above the Fold. The two work together not just on personal artwork, but on origami that teaches cultural awareness. Golan depicts her relationship with religion with interpretations of holy books in her pieces, “One book,” “Scroll” and “Two Books.” “Scroll” is made up of the same lightweight paper that composes holy

texts like the Bible. While “Scroll” resembles the Torah, it is just an imitation, and isn’t made from the actual text because she knows that religion is a sensitive topic. “I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings,” Golan says. “But I do want to talk with my art.” Golan’s technique involves twisting paper, which is a literal representation of the way people twist the words of the holy books. In her other two pieces, the paper is winding and reaching out for the other book, representing a unity and parallelism between religions. “It shows the relationship between the two [holy] books,” she says. “They come from the same origin but are very different.” Golan comes from Israel, a place where religion is relentlessly in contest, but she’s doesn’t judge people based on religion. “I work with Palestinians, and I think they are beautiful people,” she says. “The reason I decide people are friends of mine

arts & culture A director of Homeric proportion

An IFS retrospective unlocks the artistry of Wim Wenders by Michael J. Casey

ing to me of the man, Muse, the man abroad and at home. Sing to me his story as a wanderer and a traveler, armed with a camera to photograph the inner, the outer and the eternal. Sing to me his tales of twists and turns, encompassing the globe and exploring the familiar with infinite detail. Who could fill that bill quite like the great German director Wim Wenders? Luckily for the citizens of Boulder, his works are the subject of an upcoming retrospective at CU’s International Film

The American Friend, playing at IFS 6 p.m. on April 15.

Series — featuring nine films, all newly restored under Wenders’s direct supervision. Wim Wenders — born Wilhelm Ernst Wenders in Düsseldorf, German in 1945 — came to prominence during the New German Cinema of the 1970s. Triggered by the Oberhausen Manifesto in 1962 — a conscientious break from Germany’s past — a new style of German cinema was born, one that bore allegiance to Britpop and Hollywood over traditional Germanic history and storytelling. Wenders, alongside countrymen Werner Herzog and Rainer Werner Fassbinder, gained celebrity on an international stage. But unlike Herzog and Fassbinder, Wenders’s legacy tends to be limited to a few titles,

while the rest of his oeuvre is relegated to obscurity — an undeserving fate for masterpieces of independent cinema. This is what makes IFS’s Wenders retrospective all the more a cause for celebration. Here is a chance for moviegoers to set sail and hit the road with cinema’s wandering poet, to explore Wenders’s aesthetic and watch his style develop over the course of three decades of work. IFS kicks off the retrospective on April 8 with Wenders’s second feature film, The Goalie’s Anxiety at the Penalty Kick, from 1972. Adapted from a novel by Peter Handke — who also wrote the script for Wenders’s most famous work, Wings of Desire — Goalie is greatly influenced by painting, a craft Wenders studied and practiced before picking up a camera. After years of study in Paris, Wenders admitted he was not a great painter, but his studies laid a foundation for his work with the moving image. “I was very much attracted to frames,” Wenders says in an interview for Louisiana Channel. “I liked the idea that everything was framed in paintings and everything in the frame was right. Maybe that is an idea of beauty. It was all organized.” Much like the directors of the New American Cinema, Wenders learned his craft by going to the movies, but as critic and filmmaker Mark Cousin notes in The Story of Film, “Wenders has often said that the anti-Jewish and nationalistic cinema of the Nazi period destroyed German image-making.” Wenders had no choice but to look to America for inspiration, and Americana imbues the works of Alice in the Cities, 1974 (April 9); Kings of the Road, 1976 (April 10); The American Friend, 1977 (April 15) and Paris, Texas, 1984 (April 16). All are inspired by American imagery, but contain the sting of the American occupation. “The Americans have colonized our subconscious,” Kings of the Road hitchhiker Lander (Hanns Zischler) declares.

ON THE BILL: Wim Wenders Retrospective. April 8- 24, Muenzinger Auditorium, 1905 Colorado Ave., Boulder, 303-492-1531. See a full schedule at internationalfilmseries.com

Though America inspired Wenders, he would never succumb to its cultural imperialism. In Tokyo-Ga, 1985 (April 17), Wenders blends documentary footage of Japan with clips from Yasujirô Ozu films in an attempt to understand where reality ends and cinema begins. A theme that continues through his most widely known masterpiece, Wings of Desire, 1987 (April 22), where the angel, Damiel (Bruno Ganz), meditates on a simple question: Why am I me and not you? Although watching a Wenders film can be an enchanting experience, describing one can be frustrating. Wenders’s cinema is a road trip where the windshield — a frame and a barrier — reveals life, but remains removed. As Roger Ebert pointed out in his Great Movies review of Wings of Desire “[Wenders] suggests what it would be like to see everything and not participate in it.” But that doesn’t mean that Wenders is disconnected from what his camera is capturing. Much like the work of Charlie Chaplin, Michael Powell, François Truffaut and Yasujirô Ozu, Wenders is genuine in his sincerity. His work lacks irony. In lieu of directorial moralizing, Wenders asks his audience to engage with the subject matter directly. Wender’s retrospective concludes with the director’s cut of Until the End of the World (April 23) and Buena Vista Social Club (April 24). Here is a chance to engage with nine works from a cinematic master in close succession; to see themes develop and aesthetics mature. It doesn’t take long for a skeleton key to form and unlock a treasure chest of wealth. As the goalie (Arthur Brauss) in The Goalie’s Anxiety advises: When watching a soccer match, don’t watch the forward with the ball. Watch the keeper. While the other eyes and players focus in on one central point, the man with the ball, the keeper dances a lonely dance in anticipation of what is to happen next. The same can be said of Wenders’s films. It is difficult to pull your eyes from the faces of Bruno Ganz, Dennis Hopper, Harry Dean Stanton, Solveig Dommartin and Peter Falk, but when you do, you will see a whole world back there.

It’ll be a fast driving rave up with the Dandy Warhols on April 2 at the Boulder Theater. Pull the sweatband and trucker hat you used to wear back in 2001 out of that box in the crawlspace and join the Portland garage rockers on their Distortland tour. Distortland is the band’s 10th studio album, featuring the single “You Are Killing Me,” a tune that music website Stereogum describes as “a hooky, efficient chugger,” which retains the Dandy’s “old pretty sense of stoner drift.” While the band will surely unveil some new songs during the evening, rest assured you’ll hear earworms such as “Bohemian Like You” (remember that Vodafone commercial from 2000?) and “We Used To Be Friends” (any Veronica Mars fans out there?). Tickets are $23 in advance, $25 on the day of.

Courtesy of eTown With more and more arts programming getting cut from schools, it’s essential that kids have other outlets to express themselves. eTown has answered that call with their fourth annual Handmade Songs Series, a high school songwriting competition. Participants have entered, and the selected bunch will perform on April 6. Selected artists also get a chance to record their original song in eTown’s recording studio, working with a producer and crew. All the songs will then be released on eTown’s Handmade Songs CD Volume 4. With support from the community, these young songwriters could be destined for greatness.

screen Super bad, man

‘Batman v Superman’ is evil  by Ryan Syrek

he infinite monkey theorem holds that monkeys randomly typing on keyboards for infinity will eventually produce the works of Shakespeare. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice would have been better off choosing any of the non-Shakespearean, random keystroke, monkey scripts. What writers Chris Terrio and David Goyer have done here is an unspeakable disservice to beloved characters, talented actors and a public poised to dump truckloads of money watching one of the ugliest, lamest wastes of time to ever dare call itself a movie. The first hour-plus of this bloated, arrogant shitshow could be condensed into maybe two sentences: Superman (Henry Cavill) is beloved by some, feared by others and framed (in ways that still don’t make sense) for interfering or not interfering in a terrorist conflict in Africa. Batman (Ben Affleck) hates Superman because he blames him for civilian casualties during the battle with Zod in Man of Steel and sets out to steal kryptonite from Lex Luthor ( Jesse Eisenberg) to kill Superman. Those two sentences take 75 minutes to accomplish. From there, it’s all grunting and fighting, as Batman douses Superman in a kryptonite fart and the two dosey doe for a hot minute, frowning and grimacing in a flawed, ineffective attempt to prevent homoerotic fan readings of their testosteronefueled tension. Then Lex creates a violent creature that looks like the This naked cash grab features one of the weakest, most Incredible Hulk’s turd, confusing and boring screenplays in the modern blockbuster era. and Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) shows up to hit it, while explicitly stating that hitting it only makes it stronger. If you set out to intentionally make a movie as bad as BvS, you couldn’t. Eisenberg’s spazzy, hammy twitching makes Johnny Depp’s Willy Wonka look subtle and restrained. Affleck and Gadot acquit themselves just fine, especially considering the dumpster-fire screenplay, and Cavill’s Superman is the victim of director Zack Snyder’s Ayn Randian philosophy, which holds that altruism is for chumpsuckers. Superman is the ultimate altruist, a self-sacrificing savior intended to represent the virtue of a life lived in service to others. Getting a guy who wants to adapt The Fountainhead to direct a Superman movie is like hiring Donald Trump to write erotic poetry about Ted Cruz’s wife. Boring, loud and uninspired, this is a collection of nonsensical scenes, featuring at least two dream sequences and one hallucination. With nary an explanation for Lex’s motivations or Wonder Woman’s sudden appearance, the script chose to spend time giving us the eleventy billionth recreation of Batman’s parents getting whacked and a multipart “jar of pee” joke. The setup for the Justice League movie was tactlessly crammed in, an artless “muffin top” that could not possibly generate excitement. Nothing worked. Nothing. The small stuff sucked, like Perry White (Laurence Fishburne) barking awkwardly embarrassing attempts at modern news jargon or Lois Lane (Amy Adams) managing to appear naked and wet and then just wet. The big stuff sucked, like the anticlimactic titular fight and the final battle with Poopzilla. Everything sucked. Some diehard DC comic fans will try to do mental gymnastics to describe the crap biscuit they were just force-fed as delicious. They shouldn’t. They should demand better. And “better” than this shouldn’t be hard. This review previously appeared in The Reader of Omaha, Nebraska.

film Original hipster

Connecting the old to the young in ‘Hello, My Name is Doris’ by Michael J. Casey

n the conventional sense, Doris (Sally ON THE BILL: Hello, My Field) is a spinster. She lives in the Name is Doris, Century same Staten Island house she grew up Boulder, 1700 29th St., in — with her cat and 60 years of an Boulder, 303-444-0583. Tickets start at $7.65, accumulated past — and has more or cinemark.com. less shut herself off to the world. With the exception of her longtime friend, Roz (Tyne Daly), Doris has little to no contact with the outside world, including her relationship with her brother that has been strained for years and is reaching a breaking point. Her co-workers call her shy, but Doris is more than that, Doris is taciturn. Well, that is just one way of looking at it, and the new film, Hello, My Name is Doris posits a different take on the character. New York City is bustling with transplants and youngsters positively enchanted by anything unique, vintage or handmade, and Doris is that in spades. When Doris falls for her new boss, the much younger John (Max Greenfield), she ventures out to Williamsburg to hopefully cross paths and catch his attention. She does, but even more so, Doris catches the attention of the Williamsburg hipsters. Even though they are 30 years her junior, Doris fits in for the first time in decades. A garishly neon outfit may look ridiculous at her brother’s upper-middle class home, but it fits right in at the EDM club. Her cat-eye glasses and mismatched poodle skirts are all the rage, she knits — which all the girls are doing — and people make their own, well, everything. It’s almost as if Doris doesn’t fit in with the hipsters, but the hipsters fit in with Doris. Yet, Doris doesn’t simply mesh with these youngsters because they have a predilection for the past, but because they are just as shy and pained as she is. Everyone around Doris is sincerely trying to be themselves while simultaneously trying to fit in with the larger group. This is most evident in John, whose work has recently relocated him from California. John needs a friend he can go out with and confide in and Doris’s Harlequin romance-fueled fantasies need a leading man. Doris’s infatuation with John is primarily her own creation, but it is not unfounded. John is kind, open and honest with Doris, and in a bustling and often uncaring metropolis, kindness is commonly mistaken for attraction. Director Michael Showalter — who co-wrote the screenplay with Laura Terruso — mines these awkward moments for humor, but doesn’t turn Hello, My Name is Doris into a typical comedy. Pregnant pauses and awkward silences take the place of witty banter, loosening up many of the scenes and steering the audience away from expecting typical comedic resolution. Instead, Showalter offers the audience a coming-of-age tale, with a 68-year-old Sally Field at the center. And it fits Field like a glove. Watching her indulge in this character — be it the small tribulations of growing older, dancing to silly music or the pleasure of someone discovering purpose in the second half of life — is what makes Hello, My Name is Doris enjoyable for audiences of any age.

Cafe of all trades

Red Rock Coffeehouse checks a lot of boxes by Matt Cortina

Red Rock Coffeehouse 3325 28th St., Boulder, 303-443-1975

hile recently promoting her latest book, Patti Smith detoured and talked about her love of cafes, an affinity that started in the ’60s. “Back then, cafes were a lot different,” Smith told Tavis Smiley on his PBS show. “You didn’t have music blaring. People didn’t have cell phones. They didn’t have technology in the cafe. Mostly you went in and people were either, you know, arguing about Kierkegaard or they were reading or writing, so it was a very romantic setting. So in my head, I still have a romantic view of the cafe and, every once in a while, I find one that accommodates that.” Though the American coffeehouse is distinct from the cafes in New York, Paris, Morocco, etc. to which Smith was referring, many of us look upon the coffeehouse, now a ubiquitous institution in any given U.S. town, for much of the same romance. In hearing Smith mention she was once intimidated by her first encounter with a New York cafe, I think of how coffeehouses come in so many varieties: from the intimidating to the comfortable to the speedy to the artisan. I mention all this as a prelude to the review of Red Rock Coffeehouse because over six or seven years, the owners have cultivated a shop that checks all the boxes. It serves quality drinks and food at affordable prices by an unpretentious staff in an environment that yields itself to catching-up conversations or laptop work. And every time I’ve visited Red Rock over the last several years, it seems to have effected some new increment of comfort, whether it’s comfy chairs, friendly staff, better music or special drinks. It’s a good, popular coffeehouse now, and it’s always getting better. On a recent morning, I ordered a whole bunch of drinks: an Americano, a spicy chai latte, a cappuccino and a fruit smoothie. I also tacked on a bowl of house-made granola. Red Rock’s drink menu is pared down, focusing on coffee and tea staples while offer-

ing seasonal specials from time to time. The food selection outside of granola includes breakfast sandwiches and pastries, some made in-house and many made by local artisans. Starting with the cappuccino, the barista served the foamy whole milk and espresso drink in a very large mug. The espresso at Red Rock is brewed from Novo Coffee beans, a craft coffee roaster in Denver. The foam was undecorated and pure white, and the fattiness of the milk brought out butter and fruit flavors in the espresso. This was in contrast to the plain Americano, which was mild compared to other coffeehouses’. Its consistency was spot on, but a little fat in Novo’s espresso prepared by Red Rock goes a long way. The spicy chai was made from a brew from Boulder’s Sanctuary Chai. It really was spicy — the ginger hit the back of my throat immediately, but that pugnacity quickly dissipated throughout the course of the drink. Clove hits the palate first, but cardamom controls the flavor profile through the finish. I ordered mine with almond milk, so there was a little nuttiness and a lighter consistency that’s very pleasant. The fruit smoothie — Red Rock has a rotating list of smoothies and frappes — was made of whole milk, banana and dark berries. It was fresh and filling, and had a good ratio of fruit flavors. And the bowl of granola was simply and precisely prepared. You can choose your fixings at Red Rock, and I got dried blueberries and mango with slivered almonds. It was warm, not too goopy and wholly satisfying. It occurs to me that what makes it enticing to open a coffeehouse or cafe is also the curse of the form — there’s so much flexibility in style that you constantly have to work to smooth all the edges and cultivate atmosphere. Judging by the healthy customer base Red Rock has, they are looking good for years to come.

Forget the giant black pepper grinder: Cell phone food photos can make your kale smoothies taste better by John Lehndorff

i. My name is John, and I belong to a Facebook group Food photography used to be big business. called Food Porn. On a daily basis, members publish intimate photos of what they are cooking and/or eating. Looking helps me keep up on food trends and makes me damn hungry. I’ve spent a career setting up food photos and making the food look appetizing for professional photographers, a sadly fading profession. In the early days if you saw the rare photo of a gorgeous plate of food in a newspaper, you knew it involved lights, big cameras, a darkroom and noxious chemicals. Now, I only take cell phone photos of food because it’s my job and it helps me remember what I ate. That explains my classic dashboard image above, which tells me I had a Reuben sandwich in the parking lot at Mickey C’s Bagels on Table Mesa. It reminds me that thin-sliced corned beef was stacked with sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and Russian dressing on toasted house-baked rye bread. see NIBBLES Page 54

It wasn’t an epic Reuben worthy of song and pageantry, but it was exactly the Reuben I needed that day. The other day I was eavesdropping on the table next to me at a local restaurant.

photos of each plate. Then they posted the photos of the food along with a comment indicating where they are dining. Texts came and went. The diners did finally consume the food but they really didn’t talk about it in any detail. Why do we need images of our dinner? Why are most of the photos taken from directly above the food, a viewpoint no diner ever normally sees while dining? Apparently we photograph our food to make it taste better or because of ego. A recent university study discovered that taking photos of your food and posting them on social media made subjects perceive the food as tastier. The subliminal message is that if it’s worth immortalizing then it must be a wonderful dish. In its 2015 Foodie Study, the Sopexa firm found that foodies primarily use social media to brag, show eateries they are able to visit and to display their creativity as a cook. By the way, the best day to post food photos on social media sites is Thursdays. Those posts are 10 times more likely to get clicked on than Saturdays. Since today is Thursday, I’m including the photo of my first meal at GoodBird Kitchen in Longmont, the new satellite operation for Lafayette’s The Post. I should have included more of the environment but I was distracted by the crisply jacketed fried chicken, which is as great as the original location. The mashers and gravy, grits, beets and sweets (sweet potatoes) and green chile mac and cheese are all Grade A, but I was really there for the quintessential bing and tart cherry pie and the fudgy black-bottom banana pie, both from Hinman’s Bakery in Denver. No photos exist of the pies we ate immediately, except in our memories, where they will linger. Sign of the changing times: Most of the food photos in the March issue of Bon Appétit magazine were shot with an iPhone 6.

The Raspberry Provincial from funkwerks took home the 2014 Great American Beer Festival gold medal in the Belgianstyle fruit ale category.

IS NOW CATERING ALL OCCASSIONS!!

orget one-day blizzards that drop over a foot of snow and knock out power across Boulder County. If we drink summer beers, it will feel like summer again. If we drink it, summer will come. It was out of that optimism that I picked up a bottle of funkwerks’ Raspberry Provincial sour ale this week. You may have noticed funkwerks’ taps and bottles popping up in local liquor stores and bars over the past few months. Coincidentally, the Fort Collins craft brewery is currently expanding its production facility after increasing production by 80 percent from 2014 to 2015. So you better hop on board now. The Raspberry Provincial is a product of the brewery’s innovation. In 2013, the brewery took a test batch of its base sour ale, the Provincial, which hadn’t hit gravity and added a bunch of raspberries to the brew. Because they liked it so much, they decided to make it a regular thing. The raspberry is now the third in the line of Provincials for funkwerks, with a seasonal apricot sour ale and a dryhopped sour ale also under the umbrella. Technically speaking, the Raspberry Provincial is a Belgian-style fruit ale and won a gold medal at the 2014 Great American Beer Festival in that category. It’s juicy, light and tart, and clocks in at 4.2 percent ABV. It’s sold in single 750-mL bottles and in four packs, and your supposed to drink it at around 50 degrees in a tulip glass. I drank it probably a little colder in a pint glass, and the world didn’t end. In fact, the world got a little better. I’m partial to raspberry in beer, more so than any other fruit, and the sour ale is a perfect companion to tart raspberry. It pours smooth with light carbonation. The color is pinkish-orange, and it really does feel like you’re about to drink juice. The aroma of the beer is fruity, sour and tart with definite raspberry scent and a little bit of lemon zest. You certainly don’t need to, and shouldn’t, add fruit to this thing, because it’s already abundant. Tasting it, the beer is very light, and the sourness is exceptionally refined. Sour and tart raspberry dominates the palate without puckering lips or creating a horrid Welch’s it-makes-your-lips-smack situation. You’ll drink the whole glass in like five minutes whether you want to or not, because it’s just so easy to drink. If you are looking to be challenged by a beer, don’t get the Raspberry Provincial. However, if you’re in the market for something to drink a few of on the patio to get right on a sunny afternoon, this is the brew for you. You can pick it up in stores or visit the taproom in Fort Collins where they’re currently pouring the Raspberry Provincial, along with a number of saisons, sours, barrel-aged beers and more.

ARIES

MARCH 21-APRIL 19: According to my astrological

analysis, you would benefit profoundly from taking a ride in a jet fighter plane 70,000 feet above the earth. In fact, I think you really need to experience weightlessness as you soar faster than the speed of sound. Luckily, there’s an organization, MiGFlug (migflug.com), that can provide you with this healing thrill. (I just hope you can afford the $18,000 price tag.) APRIL FOOL! I do in fact think you should treat yourself to unprecedented thrills and transcendent adventures. But I bet you can accomplish that without being quite so extravagant.

the literal embodiment of a beastly adversary. Rather, it’s inside you. It’s an unripe part of yourself that needs to be taught and tamed and cared for.

Maybe you’ll even be lucky enough to make the acquaintance of many different devils with a wide variety of magnificent, false moves. APRIL FOOL! I lied. In fact, I think you should avoid contact with all devils, no matter how enticing they might be. Now is a key time to surround yourself with positive influences.

SEPT. 23-OCT. 22: Your advice for the near future comes

SCORPIO

OCT. 23-NOV. 21: In 1841, a British medical journal prescribed the following remedy for the common cold: “Nail a hat on the wall near the foot of your bed, then retire to that bed, and drink spirits until you see two hats.” My expert astrological analysis reveals that this treatment is likely to cure not just the sniffles, but also any other discomforts you’re suffering from, whether physical or emotional or spiritual. So I hope you own a hat, hammer, and nails. APRIL FOOL! I lied. The method I suggested probably won’t help alleviate what ails you. But here’s a strategy that might: Get rid of anything that’s superfluous, rotten, outdated, or burdensome.

SAGITTARIUS

NOV. 22-DEC. 21: To begin your oracle, I’ll borrow the

words of author Ray Bradbury: “May you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days, and out of that love, remake a world.” I have reason to believe that this optimistic projection has a good chance of coming true for you. Imagine it, Sagittarius: daily swoons of delight and rapture from now until the year 2071. APRIL FOOL! I lied, sort of. It would be foolish to predict that you’ll be giddy with amorous feelings nonstop for the next 54 years and 10 months. On the other hand, I don’t think it’s unrealistic for you to expect a lot of that sweet stuff over the course of the next three weeks.

CAPRICORN

DEC. 22-JAN. 19: “I am tired of being brave,”

groaned Anne Sexton in one of her poems. “I’m sick of following my dreams,” moaned comedian Mitch Hedberg, adding, “I’m just going to ask my dreams where they’re going and hook up with them later.” In my opinion, Capricorn, you have every right to unleash grumbles similar to Hedberg’s and Sexton’s. APRIL FOOL! The advice I just gave you is only half-correct. It’s true that you need and deserve a respite from your earnest struggles. Now is indeed a good time to take a break so you can recharge your spiritual batteries. But don’t you dare feel sorry for yourself.

AQUARIUS

JAN. 20-FEB. 18: In 1991, hikers in the Italian Alps discovered the well-preserved corpse of a Bronze Age hunter. Buried in the frigid terrain, the man who came to be known as Otzi the Iceman had been there for 5,000 years. Soon the museum that claimed his body began receiving inquiries from women who wanted to be impregnated with Otzi’s sperm. I think this is an apt metaphor for you, Aquarius. Consider the possibility that you might benefit from being fertilized by an influence from long ago. APRIL FOOL! I was just messing with you. It’s true you can generate good mojo by engaging with inspirational influences from the past. But I’d never urge you to be guided by a vulgar metaphor related to Otzi’s sperm.

PISCES

FEB. 19-MARCH 20: Caligula was an eccentric

Roman emperor who had a physical resemblance to a goat. He was sensitive about it. That’s why he made it illegal for anyone to refer to goats in his company. I mention this, Pisces, because I’d like to propose a list of words you should forbid to be used in your presence during the coming weeks: “money,” “cash,” “finances,” “loot,” “savings,” or “investments.” Why? Because I’m afraid it would be distracting, even confusing or embarrassing, for you to think about these sore subjects right now. APRIL FOOL! I lied. The truth is, now is a perfect time for you to be focused on getting richer quicker.

ing that I am going out on a date, I am going out on a date with a guy. Instead of saying that I am going to smoke, [I’ll say] out of a bong.” Here is where Schmader’s view gets extreme because he readily admits (spoiler alert) that we are all dying. Since we are all on our way out, we might as well enjoy the ride and stop faulting each other for the ways that we choose to live, love and recreate. “If you are doing anything you are dying,” he says. “That’s what is happening right now. Hopefully we have a long, lovely stretch at this, but the idea that [weed] is dangerous, that pleasure is dangerous, and that they outweigh the small dangers that have been overstated to us our whole lives [is ridiculous]. And then we get, not just to pleasures, but to these medical benefits that take it out of the realm of personal morality. Marijuana is a gift to humanity that we need to reckon with.” To be sure, overcoming the stigmas of marijuana isn’t just about an adult’s right to choose, it’s about getting rid of a stereotype in order to pave a road toward researching the medicinal properties of cannabis. For years, the government has cited the federally illegal status of marijuana as a legitimate excuse to not explore these benefits. In this case, the stereotype is actually trumping the scientific method for truth and preventing access to a potentially life-saving medicine. Schmader came onto my radar because he is publishing a book about weed but the impression that he left goes far beyond marijuana. He opened my eyes to the interconnections of stereotype in society and made me realize that lazily accepting a stereotype in one context inclines us to do so in another. And, perhaps most importantly, he empowered me to admit that I do that too, because I am imperfect and flawed, just like him and just like you. “Monsters are made of the same stuff as us,” Schmader says. “So a lot of this is about denouncing monsters, not trying to make them seem like they are not human because everyone of us will be a monster to somebody someday. To vilify them is just bullshit.”

cannabis corner

The dirty origin of the war on drugs

wenty years ago (in 1995 probably) I was sitting in on a panel discussion at the University of Colorado Boulder on the drug war when one of the participants made a jaw-dropping claim. The speaker was Dan Baum, a former Wall Street Journal reporter who was working on a book about the war on drugs, which had been started during the Nixon Administration and had been continued and expanded during the Reagan Administration and the administrations of George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton. Baum said he had interviewed John Ehrlichman, who had served as Nixon’s domestic policy advisor and had gone to prison as a result of his role in the Watergate scandal, about the origins of the drug war. He said Ehrlichman flatly stated that the Nixon administration began the war on drugs as a way of attacking his enemies in the counter-culture — specifically blacks and the young — and not out of any concern about the harmful effects of drugs. He also said that Ehrlichman told him they knew drugs weren’t as harmful as they were portraying them, but that public response to the drug war was so overwhelming that they couldn’t have stopped it if they wanted to — which they didn’t. Baum included the incident in his 1996 book, Smoke and Mirrors: The War on Drugs and the Politics of Failure, but it has never received the national attention it deserves. Until now, that is. Baum, who is now a freelance journalist living in Boulder, had a big article on drug legalization in the

April issue of Harper’s. He used his encounter with Ehrlichman as the lede: “In 1994, John Ehrlichman, the Watergate coconspirator, unlocked for me one of the great mysteries of modern American history: How did the United States entangle itself in a policy of drug prohibition that has yielded so much misery and so few good results...? I’d tracked Ehrlichman, who had been Nixon’s domestic-policy adviser, to an engineering

firm in Atlanta, where he was working on minority recruitment. I barely recognized him. He was much heavier than he’d been at the time of the Watergate scandal two decades earlier, and he wore a mountainman beard that extended to the middle of his chest. “At the time, I was writing a book about the politics of drug prohibition. I started to ask Ehrlichman a series of earnest, wonky questions that he impatiently waved away. ‘You want to know what this was really

all about?’ he asked with the bluntness of a man who, after public disgrace and a stretch in federal prison, had little left to protect. ‘The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.’ “I must have looked shocked,” Baum said. “Ehrlichman just shrugged. Then he looked at his watch, handed me a signed copy of his steamy spy novel, The Company, and led me to the door.” From 1969 — the first year of the Nixon Administration — to the present, there were approximately 25 million marijuana arrests in the United States. In addition, there were a similar number of arrests for hard drugs. In other words, 50 million Americans were arrested for political reasons, not because the United States had a drug problem but because Richard Nixon had a problem with the antiVietnam War young Americans and blacks. New York Times reporter Neil Sheehan titled his monumental 1988 biography/memoir of John Vann and the Vietnam War, A Bright Shining Lie. The phrase perfectly describes the war on drugs generally and the war on marijuana in particular.

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

MEET THE CANDIDATES

In early December, a U.S. government class at Mohawk High School in Sycamore, Ohio, prepared for a rare treat. A real, live state senator was going to make a presentation, presumably about something involving the topic of our democratic system. It was a government class after all. You can only imagine the palpable anticipation of these teenagers. Plus, the visit was coming almost a month earlier than previously planned, due to a call from the senator himself asking to reschedule. He identified himself as Izaha Akins and told the teacher he was an appointed replacement for the previously scheduled Sen. Dave Burke, who had fallen ill and recently resigned. “Sounds good,” the teacher responded. Sen. Akins showed up to the school wearing a suit and tie, and probably even a little American flag lapel pin. He was flanked by two security guards, handed over his real identification and proceeded to give an hour presentation. “The presentation, although not ‘polished,’ was what one might expect from a young, inexperienced and newly appointed senator,” said superintendent Ken Ratliff in a statement. “No one was the wiser.” That is until the originally schedule date of Jan. 14, when still-sitting Sen. Dave Burke showed up to give a presentation to the same U.S. government class. Really? Izaha Akins was simply an 18-year-old college student pretending to be a government official and got away with it? Really. You would hope a school’s administration, let alone a U.S. government teacher, would balk at Akins’ birth date, hopefully at least questioning the age requirement to hold state senate office, which is 30 by the way. You would also hope a U.S. government teacher would know if her own state senator had in fact become ill and resigned, or at least have the wherewithal to Google it. And people wonder why voters are flocking to ridiculous presidential candidates who created a name for themselves as self-aggrandizing reality T.V. stars. Or star. In the end, the school is complaining about the negative media attention the fiasco is causing (rightfully so) and Akins is being charged with telecommunications fraud and impersonating a peace officer.

IS THAT A GUN IN YOUR POCKET OR IS IT JUST YOUR SMARTPHONE?

Genius entrepreneur and all-around-good-idea man Kirk Kjellberg has finally solved the problem of how to make guns less recognizable to children. Finally! Proving that revelations can hit at any time, Kjellberg was out to eat one night when he was hit with inspiration for a new-and-improved, state-of-the-art, completely ridiculous weapon. “I walked towards the restroom and a little child, a boy about 7, saw me and said, ‘Mommy, mommy, that guy’s gotta gun,’” he said to St. Paul, Minnesota’s KARE 11. “The whole restaurant of course turns and stares at you, and I thought, ‘There’s just gotta be something better to do than this.’” Oh man, kids say the darndest things. If I’m going to carry a gun on my person, I don’t want everyone to know about it — duh. That would be Not the real product … duh. embarrassing. So there’s only one thing to do! Make the gun harder for a child to distinguish! And that’s exactly what Kjellberg did. His start-up, Ideal Conceal — the cuter the name, the better the gun — is now marketing a double-barrel .380-caliber handgun that looks like… wait for it… a cell phone! Thankfully, this foolproof, cell-phone-looking gun has no apparent downfalls. What a time to be alive. Boulder Weekly
