Highroad Will you enlist in ‘Trump’s War?’ by Jim Hightower
P
resident Trump might have dodged military service in his youth, but he certainly is militaristic — he is bellicose, likes to issue commands and is constantly firing off militant tweets at anyone he perceives to be an enemy (which seems to include everyone who dares to disagree with him). Meanwhile, he and his WhiteHouse-full-of-military-commanders are pondering the launch of a real
shooting war, a military offensive that would be known as: “Trump’s War.” Actually, he would be attempting to achieve battlefield glory by picking up and extending what at first was Bush’s War, then Obama’s War. The place is Afghanistan, and the strategy is to shove another 5,000 or so American soldiers (none of whom will be named Trump) into that brutish hellhole. Yes, that mess is still boiling, despite President Obama’s 2012 pledge to end U.S. involvement. After 16 years (the longest war in our history), after more than 2,000 Americans killed and 20,000 others maimed, after more than $800 billion spent on it — 8,400 of our troops are still there, the killing continues and we taxpayers keep pumping $3 billion a month into the insanity. For all of
that, the Taliban forces we’ve been trying to defeat are stronger than ever, and the Afghan government we’re supporting is as corrupt, inept and despised as ever. Nonetheless, Trump is violating a basic rule of civilian control of the military: Never ask the generals if they need more resources. This president has surrounded himself with generals and surrendered crucial decision-making authority to them. We weren’t able to win in Afghanistan when 100,000 of our troops were there — so what do we “win” by putting 5,000 more soldiers in harm’s way, other than more U.S. casualties? If Trump can’t tell us that, we should tell him, “No!” This opinion column does not necessarily reflect the views of Boulder Weekly. June 22 , 2017 5
danish plan Another crank out to save the children from themselves by Paul Danish
D
r. Tim Farnum, a Denver anesthesiologist and father of five, has come up with an exciting new way to “save the children” from a modern threat to childhood that makes sugary
soda pop look like an innocent indulgence: smartphones. He wants to pass a citizen-initiated state law to ban the sale of smartphones to kids under the age of 13, or to any adult who buys one with the intent of
giving one to a child under 13 years old. The proposed statute states that “no retailer shall sell or permit the sale of a smartphone to any person of any age if the purchaser states the smartphone will be wholly, or primarily owned by a

preteen minor.” Smartphone vendors who knowingly violate the statute would be subject to fines ranging up to $2,000. Why does Dr. Farnum think this sort of ban is necessary? The initiative’s legislative declaration, which appears below in its entirety, spells it out: “(1) We the parents and concerned citizens of this most magnificent state through firsthand experience and mounting scientific data have come to believe that smartphones are addictive, harmful and dangerous in the hands of children. “(2) The manufacturers and service providers of smartphones have continued unabated to promote their use in a reckless and wanton manner, with no concern for our children’s health or safety. “(3) Our government bodies on all levels have failed to grasp the level of addiction, the severity of the harm or the unmentionable stark depravity of the dangers. “(4) We as parents find this matter to be so widespread, so insidious and of the very highest priority [sic]. No half measures, ineffectual education campaigns, new applications or promises from mega-corporations of improvement will suffice to cause the great change necessary to rescue this and generations of children to come from the careless and experimental introduction of similar technologic devices and advancements by profit-driven corporations.” The initiative’s short title is the “Preservation of Natural Childhood” initiative. Judging by the legislative declaration, if I had to describe Dr. Farnum with one word, it would be “unhinged.” “addictive... harmful... unmentionable stark depravity... careless and experimental... mega-corporations... natural childhood?” Where in the name of sanity did he get this stuff? Out of a Jeff Sessions’ reefer madness comic book? Hey, what we’re talking about here is a freaking telephone, not Fentanyl. So what caused Doc Farnum to contract an acute case of Smartphone Derangement Syndrome (SDS)? Well, it turns out that a while back he gave his two youngest sons, aged 11 see DANISH PLAN Page 7

and 13, smartphones. And darned if the kids didn’t fall in love with them. “There were some real problems,” Farnum told The Washington Post. “If you tell them to watch the screen time, all of a sudden the fangs come out.” The once energetic and outgoing boys became moody, quiet and reclusive, he told the paper. They never left their bedrooms, and when he tried to take away the phones, one of the kids “launched into a temper tantrum that the dad described as equivalent of the withdrawals of a crack addict.” So the good doctor started researching the subject (probably on the internet) and found dozens of articles about the dangers smartphones pose to kids. “The psychologic evidence is showing some real damage happening to a high proportion of kids who have smartphones,” he told Westword. “You have cognitive damage, social damage, speech and language problems, attention-deficit disorder — and all these things have accelerated in the last ten years, since smartphones.” And he just knew He Had To Do Something About It. So he got together with some other like-minded “adults” and formed Parents Against Underage Smartphones (PAUS), which has a website (which can be conveniently accessed with a smartphone) to push his initiative. Thirty years ago, cranks like Doc Farnum were hyperventilating about how personal computers and video games were corrupting the youth (the internet hadn’t been invented yet). Before that they were targeting television, and before that comic books, and before that radio, and before radio it was magazines and pulp novels. Somehow, in the end, the kids were always OK. So can the internet and smart phones be addictive? Sure. Pretty much anything can be addictive, if you happen to have an addictive personality or if you start obsessing about it and craving it because it’s forbidden. Dr. Farnum’s kids are going to live in a world where smartphones and the internet are ubiquitous and define how human interaction takes place. I think a case can be made for the proposition that the earlier they become familiar with the technology, learn to use it, learn its limitations, dangers and potentials, the earlier they master it, the better they will function in the world in which they will live as adults. Looked at from that angle, Farnum isn’t doing his kids, and Colorado kids generally, any favors by trying to take smartphones away from them. Boulder Weekly
What he is proposing isn’t just petty nanny-statism. It’s a form of child abuse. The tech website Gizmodo put a headline on its story about Farnum’s crusade that may have nailed what’s really bothering him. It said, “Dad Regrets Buying Kids Something More Interesting Than He Is.” This opinion column does not necessarily reflect the views of Boulder Weekly.

letters Management needed on oil and gas
After the Firestone explosion, the Mead tank-battery blowup, the truck fire on south I-25, ad nauseam, it should have occurred to us that we in Colorado and most everywhere else are in thrall to the wrong industry. The oil operators are drilling everywhere for the same reason we all drive everywhere — we have little choice. The hydrocarbon fluids firms know well that the low-hanging fruit is long gone; until their lenders get itchy, they will drill and pump and truck virtually without regard to markets. Their thinking is viciously simple: If they don’t extract and frack, someone else will. Moreover, if they don’t buy a legislator or a regulator or two, someone else will. It is easy to visualize the State Capitol full of many who cower at the thunder generated by the apocalyptic pronouncements and lugubrious lobbying ploys to underpin their “plays.” All’s fair in love and war, and oil. Instead of allowing ourselves to be rolled over, instead of buying into Eddie Chiles’ 1980s television commercial theme, “If you don’t have an oil well, get one!” we need to manage the actions of these land-rush snake-oil salesmen. That we still (think we) need copious quantities of energy may be an open question. The undeniable fact that there are already other means to get it is settled. Over 918,000 people in the U.S. are employed in wind energy. Pretty strong stuff there. And as climate change wheels along down a slippery slope, it leaves behind stronger and more pervasive winds. Talk about a “play” on a conundrum. What do the rape-ruin-run folks with the rigs and VOC vents and compressors leave for the “fortunate” few who earn
royalties? Go ask one. Or two. Ask the folks in north Firestone. Why should we think the oil squeezers are unwilling to tell us where the flow lines and associated “infrastructure” might be? Has it occurred that maybe they don’t really know? Not that long ago, the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission regulated nuclear power plants by itself or through certain states. These “agreement states” (including Minnesota, following the famous Northern States environmental case) could regulate plants within their borders so long as their criteria and standards exceeded the federal ones. How we could use such a rule for oil and gas in Colorado. Trouble is, the industry wails at such ideas, because (they say) they would be hard-pressed to remain aware of, and adhere to, differing regulatory regimes in various places. As if they don’t already do so. Who believes the rules are identical in all 50 states? Yet drilling continues in roughly half of them. Poor dears. They have plenty of lawyers drawing up confidentiality agreements to silence those aggrieved by poisoned wells and the like, following monetary settlements for damages. Are we to remain willing to sacrifice the health of our children in order to drive 70 miles every day, to this fastfeeder, or that activity? When do we take back our land, our air and our water? Not to mention our self-respect. Gregory Iwan/Longmont
Gardner crafting health care behind closed doors
Republicans in the Senate are secretly crafting a repeal of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). What has Senator Cory Gardner told the citizens of see LETTERS Page 9
Boulder Weekly
LETTERS from Page 8
Colorado about this bill? Nothing. Why the secrecy? Why no open hearings? (The ACA had 100 open hearings.) Currently in Colorado, 175,964 citizens are enrolled in ACA plans for 2017. About 407,000 Coloradans obtained health insurance through expansion of Medicaid. Loveland Sunrise Clinic serves predominantly low-income citizens. Before ACA, 50 percent of their patients were uninsured; with ACA, just 25 percent are. Since 2010, Sunrise added 10,000 patients and 130 new jobs. Repeal of the ACA will result in huge losses to Colorado hospitals, especially the small rural hospitals. As a family physician for 35 years in rural hospitals, I have seen the devastating effects on families without health insurance, from delayed care, to no care, to bankruptcies and increased mortality. The amount of uncompensated care for Colorado hospitals went from $2.3 billion in 2009 to $1.1 billion in 2015. The American Health Care Act passed by the House does not cover millions of people with pre-existing conditions. Will Sen. Gardner stand up, along with the national organizations of family doctors, pediatricians, OB/GYNs and internists to demand that any new Senate bill: 1) not increase the number of uninsured 2) continue the Medicaid expansion 3) continue affordable coverage for pre-existing conditions 4) cover preventive services, psychiatric care, maternity care and substance abuse care 5) continue premiums based upon income, not age With so much at stake regarding the health care of Coloradans, Sen. Gardner, stop the secrecy and tell us just what you stand for. Scott Johnson/Loveland

Food choices affect the climate
Are you, too, fighting mad about Trump pulling the U.S. out of the Paris climate accord? Then let’s fight back three times a day by adopting an ecofriendly plant-based diet. Yes, our diet is pivotal. A 2010 United Nations report blames animal agriculture for 19 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, 38 percent of land use and 70 percent of global freshwater consumption. Carbon dioxide is emitted by burning
forests to create animal pastures and by fossil fuels combustion to operate farm machinery, trucks, factory farms and slaughterhouses. The more damaging methane and nitrous oxide are released from digestive tracts of cattle and from animal waste cesspools, respectively. In an environmentally sustainable world, vegetables, fruits and grains must replace meat and dairy products in our diet, just as fossil fuels are replaced by wind, solar and other pollution-free energy sources.

But there was no better place to begin. No other, either.

account for Donald Trump. So when the president issued an executive order in April to review the statuses of 27 national monuments, our timeline accelerated. The humbling effect the desert would have on our kids would surely be lessened if the saguaros were coated in tar balls. Future kids be damned, we’d have to take our 10-month-old to as many national monuments between California and Colorado as possible while they were still there. The term “national monuments” is a little misleading it turns out. Rather than buildings or statues, they are areas designated by the president for their natural, scientific or cultural significance, which can vary in size from a couple dozen to millions of acres. Theodore Roosevelt signed the Antiquities Act in 1906, granting the president the ability to create such national monuments after lawmakers in the West reported looting and vandalism of Native American artifacts from public lands. It wasn’t long before the Antiquities Act attracted controversy, however. When miners wanted to excavate the Grand Canyon, Roosevelt named it a national monument, which effectively blocked the extraction of minerals in the area. The Grand Canyon later

Road-tripping the national monuments while they’re still here
by Matt Cortina My wife and I had long talked about how neat it’d be to show our kids all the national parks and monuments, taking road trips to one or two every summer. We figured it’d make for cheap vacations while exposing our kids to the joys of nature and the value of conserving it. It was a well-contrived idea, except that in our rosy visions of Tomorrowland, we didn’t 10 June 22, 2017
achieved National Park status, but the precedent had been set for presidents to effectively preserve broad swathes of land from special interests with the stroke of a pen via the Antiquities Act. Those same special interests — this time after oil and gas, coal, uranium and other resources — have continued to cry foul over the years. Most recently, they, and their political advocates, claim national monuments signed by Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, amounted to “federal land grabs,” which were done with little input from the public just before the end of their respective terms. (It’s rarely mentioned, by the way, that George W. Bush signed in four national monuments at the end of his term, and Ronald Reagan signed in two.) There are 127 national monuments in total, with more than half designated by Roosevelt, Clinton, Bush and Obama. Some observers believe that the review of the national monuments ordered by Trump really focuses on Bears Ears, a 1.35-million-acre expanse of land that contains significant historical importance — human presence in the region dates back 13,000 years. It’s also almost entirely atop oil and gas, coal and uranium reserves. Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke recently recommended that Bears Ears be minimized. Such a move has no precedent, and so it’s not clear what could happen to the other national monuments — and parks — that protect vital natural and cultural resources, but also sit atop energy deposits. In this context, with Trump’s 60-day review set to end on June 25, the goal of visiting eight Western national monuments became less about sightseeing Boulder Weekly
and more about determining value: What value do these places hold to those who want to mine, drill and otherwise trample them; and what is the value to the public of keeping them as they are? Leaving Orange County, we headed east on a toll road through the mountains and into the Coachella Valley. At Whitewater, we exited the interstate and traveled along a river basin. Due to an unusually wet winter, the basin was an oasis. Dusty white river banks sloped down into a jungle of palm trees and wildflowers. Wheezing flycatchers perched atop the low canopy and looked into the vast chirp below for prey. Wrapping around the corner, the peak of San Gorgonio, snowcapped and framed by canyon walls, made obvious the monument’s name: Sand to Snow. Sand to Snow was designated as a national monument because it serves as a vital wildlife corridor for animals traveling between the San Gabriel Mountains to the west and Mojave Desert to the east. On either side of the monument is the region’s tallest peak, San Gorgonio, and the region’s lowest point, the Salton Sea. There are few valuable natural resources under Sand to Snow, but the space is still coveted: The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power tried unsuccessfully to build power infrastructure through the area 10 years ago. Removal of a national monument designation would allow for such development. Backing out of the monument, dramatic views of Boulder Weekly
the mountain range set against the sandy basin floor eventually gave way to dozens of wind turbines, perched eerily over the road like pinwheels placed by our invisible giant overlord’s invisible giant daughter — even renewable energy can heavy-hand nature. Then, the open road and signs for Dairy Queen and Burger King. Like the ground filters sediment and bacteria from groundwater, the Joshua trees seems to filter out human culture. Through Twentynine Palms and Old Dale, slowly the signs of American life — the bail bond shops and the Dollar Generals — thinned out. Before long, the road turned gray-white, and slinked to one lane, and then cars stopped passing. Turning north to Amboy, we entered Mojave Trails National Monument, but not before passing, not 100 yards before the monument’s entrance, a doublewide Trump-Pence sign, which was a reminder that the people who live near these remote monuments may not always like them. At some point, the mountains in the distance, jutting out of velvet expanses of sand into purple-noon skies, just seemed too weird to not stand and marvel at. It was silent outside. So silent it sounded like we’d dunked our heads underwater. We thought we might be when a man wearing a wetsuit to protect himself from the sun came running by later with an American flag strapped to his back. It was odd. There was no wind, no distant cars. We held our breaths because
they were obstructing perfect silence. Then, a scuttle in the dust — some desert bug. This was the nothingness we came for. Then our son babbled nonsense. But the mystery of Mojave Trails only begins with its deep quietude and Martian mountains. Ancient lava flows once scored the area, leading eventually to pumice mining. We drove by a miles-long skillet of cracked white dirt, which ended up being a calcium chloride mine. Mojave Trails is named, in part, for the old Native American trading routes that once traced the land, but now the only major traffic it gets is the few drivers trying to get to Route 66, truckers going to and fro said mineral mines and a natural gas pipeline. Underneath, however, is an aquifer that Cadiz, Inc., wants to pull from and pump to Southern Californians. Sen. Dianne Feinstein called it “a grave threat to the California desert,” adding that the project would extract five times more water than the aquifer can replenish naturally. In March, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), under Trump, abolished two legal obstacles for Cadiz’s project, and Trump nominated a Cadiz business partner to a position in the Interior. Removing national monument status would eliminate almost all roadblocks for the water project. We passed through another Joshua tree desert before hitting the interstate and then Las Vegas.

Below: The Leaving the fake monuments in Vegas, the muddy expanse of Gold Butte. earth started to redden and plateaus popped up on the horizon. To the north of Lake Powell sits Gold Butte, named for its... gold and buttes. A clay-thickened river bisected the brown, chunky buttes, and the road swung up and down, with potholes and debris making driving perilous. This monument, at the southern tip of Nevada, is relatively undeveloped, but it also hasn’t avoided controversy. In 2014, supporters of Cliven Bundy, some armed, faced off with BLM officials and law enforcement after a 20-year battle between Bundy and BLM over grazing rights. Bundy refused to pay to lease the public land for grazing, and when — two decades later — the BLM had finally had enough, they seized his trespassing cattle and arrested him. Driving through the northern end of Gold Butte, signs supporting Bundy’s cause hung undisturbed, and the cattle allegedly still graze. Indeed, the greatest threat to Gold Butte is from those who tread on it: ATVs, which can stifle the growth of vital vegetation and disturb animal movement, and ranching. But at the end of the rough and tumble road through Gold Butte, we found the shabby entrance to the Parashant, whose land on the northern rim of the Grand Canyon has been pegged for solar energy expansion and sits atop a trove of valuable minerals.

The Parashant is rugged, and it was immediately clear the 2011 Hyundai Sonata was not built to explore it. But while we traveled its northwestern mountain passes on the way to better roads, the vast wilderness of the Parashant in the distance played host to a bevy of endangered species from the California condor to the desert bighorn sheep. Their biggest threat isn’t our travel, but the 466,384 tons of uranium oxide underneath. Not only would the expansion of uranium mining disturb the wildlife and Native American artifacts on the land, but it also poses a threat to the region’s water supply. The same wet winter that buoyed the oasis in Sand to Snow flooded at least one uranium mine in the monument, threatening to contaminate the region’s waterways. To counteract this, officials sprayed the water from the mine into the air to let it evaporate. Back on the road eastward to Vermillion Cliffs, the ground turned cherry red. We passed through Colorado City, the home of an FLDS community, and a pottery store where it was guaranteed on a big, wooden sign that the wares for sale were “NOT MADE IN CHINA.” This was allAmerican. We ascended into a 7,000-foot-elevation forest, with stick trees that rounded the wind like cilia into a hum. Here, says the Arizona Wildlife Coalition, water development has already “altered or destroyed” the ecosystem, but when we stopped in at the Cliffdweller’s Lodge, there were plenty of trout fisherman amping up for a morning in the Colorado River and the iconic Horseshoe Bend. To cross the Colorado in the morning, we drove over a manmade, sturdy bridge, which was erected next to the Navajo Bridge, decommissioned in the ’90s when traffic got too great to carry the load. The bridges stand just south of Lake Powell, a manmade dam, which loses 860,000 acre-feet of water every year due to evaporation, according to the Glen Canyon Institute, constituting a bane to the efforts of water conservationists who think one manmade reservoir — Lake Mead, above Las Vegas — already threatens the viability of the Colorado River. Utah’s congressional delegation recently asked Trump to expedite the construction of a water pipeline from Lake Powell, but environmentalists say there’s not enough water in the lake to make it viable. It was then, halfway through, that the moral of the trip became evident: Man has severely messed up parts of our greatest natural and cultural resources, but the promise of exploring Boulder Weekly
and preserving the rest is righteous. The remaining monuments were proof positive of the theory, including the monuments of the greatest current controversies: Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears in Utah. Nestled between national parks, Grand Staircase is an outdoor playground that attracts thousands of recreationists every year. But it’s coveted by the energy industry as well, as there is about $330 billion of untapped coal, oil and gas, and minerals under its surface.
The State of Utah says it has everything needed for major oil and gas extraction in the area — source rocks, reservoirs and trapping mechanisms — and 141,068 acres of the land are under leases for oil and gas exploration (about 8 percent of the land), already. There are also tar sands in Grand Staircase, which would yield 5 to 27 percent oil when extracted. There’s about 1.3 billion barrels of the stuff ready to go, and efforts — including those from a Calgary-based tar sands
company — have already been made to pull it out, and could reemerge if the monument is diminished or stricken of its designation. Oil has already shown up in its washes, infiltrating water supplies. To the east, in Bears Ears, about 90 percent of the land overlaps with coal and oil and gas reserves, according to an analysis of government data by Greenpeace.

groups and others have defended Bears Ears so vigorously because of its rich cultural offerings and sacredness for several tribes. There are over 100,000 archaeological sites within Above: Vermillion Cliffs the monument. There are countless cliff dwellings, in the morning. Below: Bears Ears in the rock art and indigenous artifacts. The land, too, by afternoon (Photo: BLM) virtue of being shepherded and preserved by those cultures for millennia is a unique ecological resource. It is also one of the few places on the continent where documenting fossilized specimens from the Jurassic Period can be done with great clarity. It’s not yet known how greatly Zinke will propose to reduce Bears Ears. We drove through an empty, post-snow Bears Ears, hoping that the twin peaks for which the monument gets its name would be in our son’s comprehension wheelhouse. It’ll have to be a waiting game on that one. We then circled back into Colorado, zipping past Canyons of the Ancients. Gov. John Hickenlooper and Sen. Cory Gardner have been eager to say that the monument’s designation is not a priority for review. But 80 percent of the land is already open to oil and gas exploration, and ranchers are still able to graze on its land — what would even be lost if there’s no longer a monument designation? Regardless, in many ways, Canyons of the Ancients represents what the Antiquities Act was designed to do. The act wasn’t meant to protect broad areas of land for blanket conservation — the “antiquities” were the artifacts and structures, not necessarily the land on which they were found. Since the idea for the bill originated in the late 1800s, there was always a concern that the government could protect these places from looting and destruction, but that it would be at a cost, and so mining and drilling for natural resources was always one way to pay for the protection of certain items. In Canyons, the remarkable Pueblo structures are saved, while the land’s resources are maximally refined. That’s all to say the national monument designation is an imperfect tool that modern presidents have had to use to effect broad conservation goals for cultural and natural resources because other avenues were too timely, costly or politically unfeasible. There’s still the question of whether Trump, or Zinke, has the ability to shrink or rescind national monuments. The early consensus is that it must be an act of Congress, which isn’t quite sitting well with advocates of certain monuments, particularly Bears Ears. For many of the recently designated national monuments, Zinke and his department still must create management plans, so even if boundaries aren’t tampered with, allowable uses on the lands might be changed. Regardless of what happens with the boundaries of these Western national monuments, there will still exist in this country areas of natural and cultural importance that have been little disturbed by man for centuries, if ever. The virtue these places offer, we thought at the end of our trip, may not be in how they’re designated or defined, but in the pursuit of finding, and protecting, them. Boulder Weekly

Festival celebrates Latino culture by Ximena Leyte
O
n Sunday, June 25, the streets of Longmont will fill with the vibrancy of the different cultures in Latin America and the Caribbean during the second annual Colorado Latino Festival. The event will feature musical and cultural acts, educational activities and food vendors all in an effort to celebrate the distinct cultures that make up such a vital part of Boulder County. The Latino Chamber of Commerce and Barrio E, organizations dedicated to promoting the success of Latino-owned businesses and strengthening artistic and cultural equity, organized the day-long celebration. The festival will take place on Main Street in Longmont — the city in Boulder County with the highest Latino population. “We wanted to have it on Main Street because we wanted it to come out full force that we’re something that can be recognized and our political, financial and social power is to be reckoned [with],” says Jose D. Beteta, executive director of the Latino Chamber. “We wanted to have a celebration and to say, ‘Hey, we’re here. We haven’t gone anywhere, and we’re as much part of this community as you are, and we contribute a lot too. It’s time for us to be taken into account.’” During the first year, the festival drew over 7,000 ON THE BILL: Colorado Latino Festival visitors and hosted more than 100 vendors. This year, 2017. Noon. Sunday, organizers partnered with Spanish-language TV June 25, Main Street, sponsor Telemundo. With an estimated crowd of Longmont. more than 20,000 attendees this year, the festival will use its platform to pay homage to the contributions of immigrants in the United States, with Latinas as the center focus. “We wanted to show the younger generations that there are people who are leaders who look like them,” Beteta says. “It’s really important for their identity to see that they can be leaders and professionals. Latinas primarily are an incredible resource in our communities and they need to be recognized more.” The festival strives to create awareness of the significant contributions Latinos make in Colorado but specifically in the Boulder County. With “unity” as the central theme, Beteta hopes the festival will inspire both Latinos and non-Latinos to live in harmony as a community. “After the Latino Chamber of Commerce and our friends at Barrio E started noticing how Latinos were being treated in general in the U.S. — the tensions that were rising leading to the election and before — we saw that Latinos were basically being dragged through the mud for no good reason,” Beteta says. “We wanted to create an event where Latinos could come and feel a piece of their home by experiencing their culture, music, food and people. It’s also for non-Latinos to come and enjoy this event and experience the variety and the diversity that exists in Latin America and the Caribbean.” Boulder Weekly

Fight or flight Local organizations step up to help immigrant communities deal with fear in the wake of changing federal policies
by Angela K. Evans MOST NIGHTS, Ana Rodriguez wakes up in a panic; she
consistently dreams U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers are knocking on her door. As an undocumented immigrant who was brought to the U.S. as a child, Rodriguez has spent the last several months constantly battling fear and anxiety about her future as federal immigration policies have shifted under President Trump’s administration. She worries about running into ICE officers, who could question her immigration status and threaten the life she’s made in the U.S. And she’s not alone. Throughout immigrant populations in Colorado and around the country, anti-immigration rhetoric, along with reports of increased immigration raids, arrests and deportations have sparked widespread fear, anxiety and often panic. Advocates report increased stress, isolation, hopelessness and depression within the communities they serve, as people are increasingly afraid to seek supportive and mental health services in order to cope. “We are literally in fight or flight mode,” says Rodriguez, a community organizer with the Colorado People’s Alliance and a recipient of the federal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. These fears are not necessarily unwarranted. Since the presidential inauguration in January, there have been weekly reports of people being deported after check-ins at ICE offices, leaving courtrooms and at their homes. The administration has made it clear that anyone who is in the country without proper documentation, even those with DACA status, are at risk. In the first 100 days of Trump’s presidency, ICE reported a nearly 40 percent increase in arrests compared to the same period in 2016, averaging more than 400 arrests per day around the country. In the agency’s Denver area of responsibility, which includes Colorado and Wyoming, there was a 21 percent increase in total number of arrests, including a significant increase in arrests of people without a criminal background. In the first three months of 2016, there were 28 non-criminal arrests by ICE. In 2017, there were 134. Furthermore, within the Denver area of responsibility, there was a 145 percent increase Boulder Weekly
in deportations between 2016 and 2017 — 323 compared to 793. And while ICE officials argue they are following the president’s directives in accordance with the law, these policies are leaving many communities around the country and in Colorado in a constant state of stress and uncertainty, afraid that no matter what they do, their lives could change at any moment. “I’m increasingly realizing how unprotected the entire undocumented community is under this new administration,” Rodriguez says. In Boulder County, advocacy groups, community leaders and mental health providers have seen firsthand how these shifting policies affect the health and wellbeing of immigrant populations. “I can say anecdotally that I have definitely had more conversations about the political situation and policies than ever before in these last few months,” says Marja Dansie, a behavioral health provider at Clinica Family Health, which runs several federally qualified health centers serving people based on low-income qualifications around Boulder County. “I can attest to there being a general widespread unease, fear, concern, anxiety for all types of reasons, whether it be access to healthcare, concerns about friends, colleagues, family members, people who have various identities, people of color. When there has been persecutory rhetoric with this administration, people have felt personally threatened or persecuted.” It’s difficult to back up these claims, as health providers often don’t track immigration status and can’t make any correlation between immigration status and mental health services. Still, Dansie says people come to Clinica with myriad concerns, without specifically asking for mental health help. They may be meeting with doctors to discuss other health issues but also share they are having a difficult time sleeping or they’re

angry, scared and hopeless, which is where behavioral health comes in. At El Centro AMISTAD, a nonprofit immigrant advocacy organization based in Boulder, Executive Director Jorge De Santiago says he saw a shift within the first two weeks following the 2016 election, fielding multiple calls a day from worried families about their legal statuses. Whereas before AMISTAD focused its advocacy around wellness, health and education in the Latino community, since November their work has become “more interventionist,” De Santiago says. “The only thing that we can actually do is try to listen to them, try to understand and manage in a way that validates what is happening, provide the right information and be realistic about what they can actually do, in terms of when something like this (detention or deportation) happens to them,” he says. The advocates at AMISTAD also try and connect people to community services that can help, including mental health professionals at both Clinica and Mental Health Partners (MHP). De Santiago spends a lot of time explaining patient confidentiality, reassuring people that health providers do not share patient information with ICE. However, the response is often a mistrust in any sort of formal institution. “The challenging part has still been with seeing Mental Health Partners as a government entity, as someone that they cannot trust,” he says. “They know that when they go to Mental Health, their Ana Rodriguez information is going to be living on a system somewhere, where a lot of people can have access.” “There’s a laundry list of access barriers that prevent folks out there struggling with this trauma from actually reaching mental health resources,” Rodriguez explains. “Everything from not having insurance that would cover this, of being afraid of mental health institutions, cultural stigma associated with it, language barriers ... and of course just the fear of not knowing whether mental health institutions can be trusted.” DACA recipient Regardless, people “feel rejected and afraid and not Ana Rodriguez secure in their own houses,” says Elena Aranda, the execuworks as a community organizer tive director of the Programa Compañeras at El Centro with Colorado People’s Alliance. AMISTAD and a bilingual therapist of more than 20 years with the Community Infant Program at MHP. She spends her week traveling around Boulder County conducting home visits within the Latino community and says everyone she talks to is experiencing some level of stress given how the national immigration policies have shifted with the new administration. “In my case load, it’s everybody,” Aranda says. “Even the people who are documented, they feel the discrimination. We look the same, those with documentation or no documentation. Even my son was asking me if he had to have his ID all the time and he’s a citizen.” This stress can result in other health concerns and a general decrease in wellbeing and quality of life that threatens the very fabric of immigrant communities. The numbers at the weekly Compañeras meetings, which are meant as a community support system for Spanish-speaking women to share experiences, have decreased as people are more and more afraid to leave their home, drive and seek services. “Fear and stress leads to depression and isolation,” Aranda says. “They don’t go to community resources for help because they are afraid to use their names,” she says. “If they are worried about their normal life, they’re not going to be present. ... They are just going to be constantly thinking about these issues.” “When we’re stressed,” Dansie explains, “our autonomic nervous system is what is activated and that then triggers our amygdala to activate, and when our amygdala is active our frontal lobe isn’t working. And our frontal lobe is where memory, concentration, focus and all that stuff is located. Chronic stress does fundamentally affect a person’s ability to learn new things, concentrate, remember things, be rational, think clearly.” Furthermore, many immigrants have already experienced significant trauma — adverse and dangerous conditions that either caused them to flee their home countries or that they experienced on their migrant journey to the U.S. and afterward. Couple that with a daily deluge of media reports about increased ICE activity and Boulder Weekly
many people are being re-traumatized, Dansie says. “If you think about the typical picture of someone who has PTSD, like a soldier who has gone to war, and if they were to watch scenes of war over and over again it would just destroy their nervous system and any ability they would have to cope,” Dansie says. “And similarly if there’s this insecurity and stress right now, then they see it over and over again on the news, it’s feeding into that trauma and fear in the same kind of way. ... That feeling threatened or [living] in fear really does take a toll on a person’s wellbeing and physical health.” But there is hope. At the same time advocates are reporting increased fear and anxiety, they also speak about increased resilience, solidarity and cooperation within the immigrant communities and their allies. “This is a really dangerous period of discrimination,” Aranda says. “But it’s also an opportunity for us to empower each other, to be together and develop resilience. I see a lot of solidarity in the community.” On June 15, Rodriguez and other advocates from a dozen or so organizations including the Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition (CIRC), Mi Familia Vota (MFV), Together Colorado, American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), United for a New Economy (UNE), and SEIU, Local 105, among others, launched the Colorado Rapid Response Network and 24-hour hotline to help spread accurate and documented information about ICE activity throughout Colorado. The network is designed to take tips about ICE activity through the hotline, then dispatch trained volunteers, some of whom are certified by the National Lawyers Guild as legal observers, to confirm such activity, document any civil or human rights abuses and, if necessary, alert the public response teams. These teams are prepared to coordinate legal assistance and media outreach, among other resources. “I wanted to be a part of something that was actually supporting our community to take action to at least document what was going on ... not sweeping that under the rug,” Rodriguez says. “It’s a really empowering thing for me as an undocumented person to be a part of coalitions and networks that are doing something to resist the huge deportation machine.” The network also hopes to prevent the spread of misinformation that has often occurred within immigrant communities since the election. In Boulder County, there have been a series of false rumors about immigration raids at different apartment complexes and even some schools that have quickly spread throughout the community causing fear Boulder Weekly
and panic. “The moment MORE INFO: The “A lot of what somebody that’s trying 24-hour Colorado Rapid we’re experiencing to be helpful posts a Response Network hotline number is 1-844-864-8341. right now is that peopicture on Facebook ...

rapid response network, with training events for legal observers and dispatchers scheduled in the coming weeks. And it’s not only empowering immigrants, it’s a significant way allies, who can often times more easily approach and interact with law enforcement officers, can become involved. “For the immigrant community, it’s been really cool to watch them see allies come out of the woodwork and be willing to take on some of these responsibilities,” Garcia says. “And then that also helps them feel not as isolated and not so alone.”

This innovation in recycling is transforming the industry, making it more efficient and cost effective, while also filling labor shortages. Clarke, named after the sci-fi author Sir Arthur C. Clarke of 2001: A Space Odyssey fame, is a recycling robot created by Autonomous Manipulation and Perception Robotics (AMP). Founder Matanya Horowitz, stumbled on recycling when looking for different sectors where artificial intelligence (AI) might be useful. “Right now recycling takes a tremendous amount of manual labor. It’s a very challenging job; it’s very dirty, it smells bad,” Horowitz says. “There’s a lot of materials so you have to concentrate pretty hard.” As a result, retaining employees in material recovery facilities (MRF), where recycling sorting occurs, is difficult. “I’ve never seen a recycling facility without a ‘now hiring’ sign out front,” he says. However, robots like Clarke are helping to change that by taking over some of the more labor-intensive tasks difficult for humans. They can, for example, handle dangerous materials found during sorting such as knives and hypodermic needles. Robots can also recycle at a much faster rate and with more accuracy than human sorters. For example, Clarke can sort up to 60 cartons per minute, whereas humans usually only sort around 40 cartons per minute. Even better, Clarke can do it all with 95 percent accuracy. Plus, with the use of AI software, technology like Clarke will continually update to
recognize new packaging. “They (the robots) have flexibility and the ability to take on new materials naturally without really changing the way the system works,” Horowitz says. This will give MRFs the ability Above: A prototype of a new robot at the AMP Robotics facility.

ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP ADVENTURE

Chris Bombardier becomes the first hemophiliac to summit Everest on his way to conquer the Seven Summits by Michael Levy
AS HE NEARED the South Summit of Everest, just over 28,700 feet above sea level,
Denver-based mountaineer Chris Bombardier was thoroughly worked. “I was so tired,” he says. “I got to that point and I was like, ‘This is too much.’” He knew his friends, family and supporters would be proud of him even if he didn’t reach the true summit. He decided to turn around. But then Tashi Sherpa, one of his guides, came up beside him. Bombardier says Tashi told him, “No, you can do this. You’re on a mission.” So Bombardier kept going, one foot in front of the other. Because he was on a mission. He wasn’t your average, run-of-the-mill, under-experienced Everest climber just looking for the ultimate story to tell at cocktail parties. He was trying to become the first hemophiliac to reach the top of the world; he was seeking to become the first hemophiliac to complete the Seven Summits; and he was hoping it would show that hemophilia, while an obstacle, was not an impediment to chasing one’s dreams. Growing up, Bombardier, 31, never would have imagined he’d one day be only a couple of hundred feet below Everest’s summit. He was born with Hemophilia B, a bleeding disorder caused by a missing protein known as clotting factor IX. Bombardier’s parents encouraged him to lead a normal, active life. “I don’t really remember being sheltered or protected in any special way,” he says. At 13 years old, he began prophylactic treatment to prevent bleeds before they happened. This see BOMBARDIER Page 24

involved injecting himself (known as self-infusing) with factor IX. After waiting for From childhood through his college years at Doane, a fair-weather in Nebraska, Bombardier was a competitive baseball window to open, Chris Bombarier player. After graduating, devoid of the outlet that orgafinally reached nized sports had provided, Bombardier sought a new the top of Everest, becoming passion. the first hemoA crash-course apprenticeship in the mountains with philiac to do so. his Uncle Dave quickly filled that hole. Listening to Dave’s stories about Denali and other larger peaks, Bombardier was already dreaming big: “Dave kind of just inspired me to try everything,” he says. “He never looked at my hemophilia as a limiting factor.” His first try at a major peak came in 2011. Bombardier was invited to Kenya for his work with the University of Colorado Hemophilia Research Lab. Kilimanjaro was right over the border in Tanzania, so it seemed like fate. “Climbing to the top, I was like, ‘I want to do all Seven Summits. I can do it,’” he remembers. The Seven Summits is a challenge that entails scaling the highest peak on each continent. Kilimanjaro is likely the easiest of the seven, so even with one already under his belt, Bombardier had his work cut out for him. Over the next several years, Bombardier ticked off Aconcagua (Argentina, 2013); Mt. Elbrus (Europe/Russia, 2013); Denali (Alaska, 2014); and Carstensz Pyramid (Indonesia, 2015). After bureaucratic red tape prevented his nascent plans for Antarctica’s Mt. Vinson earlier this year, Everest jumped to next on the list. Bombardier joined an expedition run by his friend Ryan Water’s company, Mountain Professionals, and started training for the climb of his life. Preparation extended beyond conditioning his muscles, lungs and mind. Bombardier and his friend Patrick James Lynch, a filmmaker and fellow hemophiliac, decided to use the expedition as a platform to spread awareness about the lamentable state of hemophilia treatment and care in Nepal. Roughly 75 percent of hemophiliacs in Nepal die before the age of 10, Bombardier says. He and Lynch spent their first week of the Everest expedition in Kathmandu and its surrounding areas. They visited a local hospital’s hemophilia care unit that was renovated after the 2015 earthquake. “Even there, there usually isn’t enough factor [protein] on hand to resolve the issue, but it’s better than nothing,” Bombardier says. One youth Bombardier met at the unit had taken a bus three hours to get there. His elbow was swollen and had serious bleeding, and, because of limited resources, he could only get one infusion. Armed with stories to motivate him, Bombardier set off for Everest Base Camp. When he finally saw the mountain, the full weight of what he was about to attempt hit him. “You see the tip of Everest sticking up above Namche Bazaar [village]. It’s a really powerful experience.” The Mountain Professionals team began an acclimatization regimen, spending progressively more time at higher altitudes on the mountain before returning to Base Camp to recuperate. When it came time to launch a summit bid, Bombardier’s team was forced to wait, and then wait some more. “We sat in Base Camp for 16 days,” praying for a long-enough fairweather window, Bombardier says. “You get really antsy. Your imagination goes crazy. You’re constantly hearing horror stories of frostbite and death. Boulder Weekly

Windy but clear skies. You see all the headlamps of people ahead, and it was hard to distinguish between stars and headlamps.” Then came the South Summit. Lungs on fire, thoughts jumbled, he was sure he was done. But steadied by Tashi Sherpa’s soothing confidence and guidance (“Sweet, gentle Buddhist persuasion,” Bombardier’s wife, Jess, says), Bombardier kept going. All the way to the top. Courtesy of the upcoming film Bombardier Blood Standing on the summit on May 22 was worth every moment of selfdoubt, every high-altitude self-infusion. “It was amazing,” Bombardier says. “There’s so much history there and so much has happened there. Standing on the top still feels like it was a dream.” Returned, quite literally, from the stratospheric heights of Everest, Bombardier is still on a mission. He is a board member of Save One Life, a nonprofit that works to help hemophiliacs in the developing world get the treatment they need. He works tirelessly to help kids in those countries get the same chances he had growing up. “There was a huge fundraising push through Save One Life when Chris was on Everest,” Jess says, “and $30,000 was donated to the Nepal Hemophilia Society,” a community group started in 1992 that works to reform hemophilia treatment in the country. Also, the documentary about his climb and his Seven Summits project, titled Bombardier Blood, is slated to make the rounds at film festivals this coming fall. In the coming months, Bombardier will have his hands full working on the doc; running Backpacks and Bleeders, a Colorado-based program he founded with Jess that takes those with bleeding disorders into the outdoors to show them how to adventure safely; and working his day job at a company called Gut Monkey, where he runs experiential education trips for those with chronic medical conditions. And of course there’s that pesky seventh summit. Asked about when he’ll try to complete the septet, Bombardier simply says, “Hopefully December.” Boulder Weekly

Grossen Bart Brewery
G
rossen Bart Brewery was established in July of 2012 by Shad Chancey and Taylor Wise. Shad had just moved to Colorado from Austin, Texas when he met Taylor at a Young Business Professionals MeetUp in Gunbarrel, Colorado. The two exchanged business cards and quickly became great friends. Both also shared a passion for craft beer, and after A LOT of “market research,” they decided to start their own brewery in an effort to ditch corporate America. In the summer of 2014 they set out to find a professional commercial brewer. After many interviews, they came across Walter Bourque. As a commercial brewer of 5
years, as well as a passionate homebrewer of 8+ years, they knew the self-proclaimed “HopHead” was the man that could take their beer to the next level. Grossen Bart is a place for anyone of all ages to come enjoy a delicious hand-crafted beer. The taproom is pet and family friendly with weekly live music and TNT Dogs & More! It’s a place where people feel right at home and welcome, regardless if you have a beard or not. It’s a brewery built with love, and true passion for the craft.

elping people, studying the perfection in nature, problem solving and the expression of my creativity are all part of what I value in being a dentist. I graduated from New York University College of Dentistry in 1981. As an undergraduate, my interests ranged from engineering and philosophy, to botany and biology. As a graduate student, I researched neurophysiology. I find it intriguing that all of these fields show up in the dental office nearly every day. In 1983, I became a mercury-free dentist and
began studying the many aspects of holistic medicine. Nutrition, homeopathy, bodywork, spiritual healing, holistic dentistry and holistic, herbal and oriental medicine are all ares I have studied.

iscipline Global Mobile, known on the interwebs as DGM, is King Crimson founder and self-admittedly pitiless autocrat Robert Fripp’s label and media organization, responsible for control and release of all things Crimson and related, and cheerfully counterintuitive to the guitarist’s long reputation as fiercely reticent and retiring from such shabby pursuits as selfpromotion. It has blessed the KC community with regular updates and snippets of life-on-the-road videos with the rebirthed (now eight-piece) band as it winds its way into its third year as a re-energized franchise. One of my favorite little clips features the band striding from their hotel in Wisconsin a couple of years ago, onto their not-terribly-plush tour bus and taking a trip to, not kidding, Walmart. Fripp explains with a sly smile he’s only making the trip to pick up some miner-
al water, a few others on the bus concede sheepishly that they’ll be on the hunt for more caloric indulgences. And the clip ends with a shot of Fripp, the “Yoda of prog guitar” as he’s been incautiously if not terribly inappropriately termed, exiting the escalator, grabbing a cart and disappearing into a Midwestern Walmart in search of bottled water, a cheerful “hello shoppers” recording resonating thinly overhead. That Crimson is back on the road again is remarkable enough given Fripp’s chronic struggles spanning the last five decades: self-satisfaction over what the band should be, what it has at various times failed to be, how it should remain true to its principles in a ruggedly unprincipled music industry, and how (or whether) it should posture before the stifling expectations of its aging and period-partisan audience.

Under his new moniker, R.Lum.R, Williams is riding a wave of success by Alvaro Sanchez his lease ending and his production team moving to Nashville, that Williams composed “Frustrated.” The track wallows in deep baselines and a patient pace, using William’s confident falsetto as a backbone. While the lyrics reflect Williams’ uncertainty about his life and career, he delivers the song as a eulogy to a rocky relationship. Since 2016, “Frustrated” has been climbing music charts around the world, with more than 16 million streams on Spotify. Rolling Stone has named the 27-year-old as one of the “10 New Artists You Need To Know,” NPR chose him as “An Artist To Watch at SXSW,” and he was the face of Spotify’s “Alt R&B” playlist for six months. On Aug. 11, Williams plans to release Afterimage, an EP he hopes listeners can learn from. “The goal with the EP is to give people the songs that I have been playing on tour,” Williams says. “I just want to show people what I’m capable of.” However, he believes the strongest point in his music in general is empathy. “I think music and reading, for me, are the strongest tools for empathy. You get put into somebody else’s head and life, you know,” he says. “I tweeted two nights ago that ‘I like art that I can superimpose myself onto’ and that wraps it up.” Williams has yet to travel to Colorado and says he’s excited to arrive among the skyscraping Rockies, an environment wholly different than that of his hometown of Bradenton, Florida. “Florida is very, very flat. The highest elevation in Florida, I kid you not, is 60 feet above sea level, and that is the dump,” Williams says. “The trash pile in Florida is the highest and it’s so shameful.”

Shakespeare’s wittiest writing. While Petruchio’s plan to break Kate’s will using one of the world’s earliest documented examples of gaslighting can present as somewhat problematic to modern audiences, the development of their relationship is undeniably organic and truly entertaining. With so much of The Taming of the Shrew riding on the interplay between Katherina and Petruchio, I found some of director Christopher DuVal’s choices puzzling. While Scott Coopwood is an accomplished and assured actor, he presents as a bit on the old side for Shelly Gaza’s Katherina. With this Shrew being set in post-WW II Little Italy in New York, Coopwood plays Petruchio very much in the mold of General Douglas MacArthur, which only amplifies the perceived age difference. That coupled with the unavoidably abusive nature of Petruchio’s approach to “reeducating” Katherina distanced me from this central relationship and, therefore, the play as a whole in a way that I have not previously experienced. There were also problems with the sound on opening night that dramatically detracted from the experience. Knowing the level of excellence the CSF maintains, I am certain that issue will be addressed for future productions and that audiences for the rest of the festival will enjoy both The Taming of the Shrew and Julius Caesar in the beautiful Mary Rippon Outdoor Theatre as well as Hamlet and Rosencrantz & Guildenstern indoors at the University Theatre.

a r t s & culture CMF opening weekend: ‘high-profile guests, big orchestral pieces, variety, intensity’ by Peter Alexander
T
he opening weekend of the Colorado Music Festival’s 40th anniversary season, Thursday, June 29 through Sunday, July 2, will set the pattern for the entire 2017 season. “It will be a microcosm of the whole festival,” music director Jean-Marie Zeitouni says. “A variety of repertoire, Baroque, Classic, Romantic, 20th-century, high-profile guest soloists, big orchestral pieces, variety, intensity; it sums it all.” The opening concert will feature pianist Olga Kern playPianist Olga Kern ing two Russian concertos: will open the Colorado Music Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. Festival’s 40th 1 and Rachmaninoff ’s season with two concertos. Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. Framing Kern’s solo turns will be Shostakovich’s Festival Overture, and Rachmaninoff ’s deeply Romantic Symphony No. 2 in E minor. The Rachmaninoff Rhapsody recalls one of the CMF’s most spectacular events, Kern’s 2013 performance of all the Rachmaninoff concertos over two nights. This represents another theme of the 40th anniversary: honoring the festival’s history with music from its past. And so the season opens with Shostakovich’s “Festive Overture,” which was featured in the 10th anniversary season. Zeitouni chose the Rachmaninoff Second Symphony to end the concert as one of his “so-called gifts to the orchestra,” he says. “They are the heroes, to me, of this festival. I thought having the Rachmaninoff Second Symphony as the main course was the right thing to start the season, to put the orchestra back together.” Kern will also appear in a solo recital of American and Russian music on July 1, featuring Rachmaninoff, Scriabin, Balakirev and several pieces by Gershwin. The next day, CMF founding director Giora Bernstein returns to Boulder for the first time in 10 years to conduct the CMF chamber orchestra. Bernstein’s program is entirely in the key of D — although that is just coincidental. Two concertos featuring orchestra members had already been selected: the Marcello Oboe Concerto in D minor with orchestra oboist Olav Van Hezewijk, and the Bach Double Concerto in D minor for violinists Calin Lupanu and Joseph Meyer. “To frame them, I thought Mozart would be wonderful, like bookends,” Bernstein says. He chose two symphonies from the 1780s, the “Haffner” Symphony No. 35 and the “Prague” Symphony No. 38, both in D major. “They are so different, one from the other,” Bernstein says. “The Haffner has four movements, but is a relatively short symphony. The Prague Symphony is known as the symphony without a minuet, and yet it is more extensive, more expansive. That is the imagination, the genius of Mozart!” Boulder Weekly

The second Festival Orchestra Concert on July 6 will honor Independence Day with an all-American program under the direction of guest conductor Cristian Macelaru with the Three Dance Episodes from Leonard Bernstein’s On the Town, The “Red Violin” Concerto by John Corigliano played by Finnish violinist Elina Vähälä, and Dvorák’s Symphony No. 9 “From the New World.” The next week will see the annual Young People’s Concert at 10 a.m., Saturday, July 8, directed by Scott Terrell, music director of the Lexington Philharmonic; chamber music featuring members of the Festival Orchestra playing Schubert, at 7:30 p.m. the same day; and the first of three Happy Hour @ Chautauqua events Tuesday, July 1 at 5:30 p.m. for happy hour and 7:30 p.m. for “Two to Tango,” featuring pianists Christopher O’Riley and Pablo Ziegler. The first weeks of the festival culminate with performances of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, Thursday and Friday, July 13 and 14. “It’s basically right in the middle of the festival so it’s a way to mark a certain apex,” Zeitouni says. The Ninth will be performed with a quartet of vocal soloists he describes as “fantastic”: soprano Mary Wilson, mezzo-soprano Michelle DeYoung, CU alumnus Jason Baldwin, tenor, and former CU and professional football player Keith Miller, bass. For the Thursday night Festival Orchestra concert, the Ninth is programmed with two other works, the north American premier of A Little Summer Suite by Betsy Jolas — a composer with ties to CMF’s history — and DeYoung singing Mahler’s Songs of a Wayfarer with the orchestra. The symphony alone will be repeated at 6:30 p.m. the following night for the first of three “Fresh Friday” performances, a series of shorter concerts giving time for the patrons to have an evening out after the program. The Ninth is one of the most performed classical works, but Zeitouni says, “I really don’t think there is such a thing as too much, if it’s done with commitment and care. Each time I [conduct it] I buy a brand new score, I get rid of all the markings and I start fresh, because I try to look at it like the first time.”

Pierce and the Warm Honeys present an innovative perspective on music and its power to enhance well-being and empathy through a community of leaders.

Stung
by Heid Erdrich She couldn’t help but sting my finger, clinging a moment before I flung her to the ground. Her gold is true, not the trick evening light plays on my roses. She curls into herself, stinger twitching, gilt wings folded. Her whole life just a few weeks, and my pain subsided in a moment. In the cold, she hardly had her wits to buzz. No warning from either of us: she sleeping in the richness of those petals, then the hand, my hand, cupping the bloom in devastating force, crushing the petals for the scent. And she mortally threatened, wholly unaware that I do this daily, alone with the gold last light, in what seems to me an act of love.

Like Us
aybe it was the way Kate McKinnon’s hyperbolic Australian accent hilariously tortured the word “pizza” until it simultaneously had between one and seven syllables. Maybe it was Jillian Bell twisting foot fetishes into nonverbal punchlines. Maybe it was the most-adorable meth-fueled gas-station-bathroom oral-sex encounter ever imagined. Whatever it was, at some point, Rough Night became downright relentlessly amusing. Devoid of any major “OMG, did you see that?!” individual scenes of epic shenanigans, the film is a cavalcade of “chuckle-funny” amusement featuring folks who would already be megafamous, franchise-launching movie stars if only they had penises. As the best comedies do, Rough Night’s plot is a simplistic skeleton from which to hang meaty jokes. Jess (Scarlett Johansson) is a straight-laced candidate for State Senate who goes to Miami for her bachelorette party with her college besties. Alice (Bell) is the maniacal ringleader, Frankie (Ilana Glazer) is an unemployed social activist, Blair (Zoë Kravitz) is a divorcing socialite and Pippa (McKinnon) is Jess’s Australian buddy from her semester abroad. The group does cocaine and accidentally kills a dude, activities that are illustrated on the official state flag of Florida. While Jess and her co-conspirators contend with a lecherous couple (Demi Moore and Ty Burrell) and attempt to dispose of the body, Jess’s fiancé (Paul W. Downs) begins a misguided quest to find her. That quest blissfully involves adult diapers and the music of Marilyn Manson. Director Lucia Aniello, working from a script she co-wrote with Downs, gives her comedians room to yuk while never letting things meander or stagnate. Only Johansson seems ill-at-ease; her performance is caught in the hallway between drama and caricature, which is objectively the single most cringe-worthy place to stand exposed. It doesn’t help her that McKinnon, Bell and Glazer are gifted with the ridiculous ability to turn the most mundane explanatory dialogue into a riotous riff. There is no price tag too high to pay for a buddy cop spoof with any of that trio playing a pair of detectives and a villain. The movie eschews expected set pieces and over-the-top spectacle in favor of a higher giggles-per-minute ratio. This means folks won’t walk out of the theater recapping the same two or three moments to other people who just saw the same thing. It also means that the film doesn’t immediately feel as funny as it actually was. Most comedies rely on only a few gut-busters and fill time between mega-gags with boring gibberish. Rough Night never engages in “I can’t breathe” hilarity, but it’s also never slow, boring or laugh-free for long. What’s more, Aniello and Downs play wonderfully with gendered conceits, particularly in scenes of the concurrent bachelor party. Listening to Eric André decry sexual expectations or Bo Burnham give loving encouragement somehow only makes Bell’s “lethal horniness” and McKinnon’s unhinged energy that much more effective. Rough Night isn’t a comedy classic nor a “game changer” for the format. But considering the comedy genre seems to have cooties lately, with few studios wanting to play with it at all, it’s nice to have something to laugh at for a minute. This review previously appeared in The Reader of Omaha, Nebraska.

manifesto, noun: a written statement declaring publicly the intentions, motives, or views of its issuer
INITIAL SESSION
W
hat we need is works of art that are strong, straight, precise and forever beyond understanding,” intones the magnificent Cate Blanchett from behind a funeral veil. Cloaked in black, she stands before the coffin, the attendees and the movie cameras. This isn’t your standard eulogy, but then again, you’re not watching a standard movie. This is a manifesto, and in that coffin lays not the dearly departed but cinema itself. Or literature. Or maybe just art in general. What is being buried is hard to pin down because it’s hard to tell just what German artist Julian Rosefeldt is going for with his first feature. Collecting quotes, ideas and theories from 29 thinkers ranging from Karl Marx to Stan Brakhage and tackling no less than 29 different art movements — from architecture to pop art, Dadaism to Spatialism — Manifesto is just that, a manifesto; nothing more, nothing less. There is no overarching story, no narrative to hang set pieces on, no beginning, middle or end. Just ideas. Lots of ideas. And Cate Blanchett. This assembly of aphorisms, observations, mantras and quotes that Rosefeldt collects and compresses are presented in one long monologue that Blanchett performs ON THE BILL: as 13 different characters. Each segment Manifesto. Opens June 23. Sie Film discusses the nature of art, the nature of Center, 2510 E. Colfax Ave., Denver, the movement and its potential short720-381-0813, denverfilm.org. Tickets start at $7. comings. But there are no title cards to June 28–July 1. The Boedecker clue you into what movement is being Theater, 2590 Walnut St., Boulder, discussed, and Blanchett doesn’t pause to attribute any of the quotes. You simply go along with it and pick out what you can. The overall thrust of Blanchett’s monologue is the exploration of the manifesto, and if such a thing is even possible. Maybe it isn’t. Maybe we’re all just tilting at windmills, trying to hold back oblivion. Sometimes irritating, sometimes profound, Manifesto will most likely work best for viewers who do not yet have one. That’s not to say viewers with their own ideas about art cannot find a nugget or two of truth in the film, but with this many disparate theories tossed around, there will be more to disagree with than agree. But what manna this movie will be for the teenager and the young adult who have become fascinated by deep concepts and broad ideas. Surely they will find something of value here. For this reviewer, that value is Blanchett’s performance. Sometimes she uses makeup to transform herself, other times she lets her magnificent voice do the heavy lifting. But in all 12 segments, Manifesto surrenders to her talents, marvels at her technique and basks in her glow. When the movie is at its best, Blanchett pokes fun at herself, and the very notion of acting, while simultaneously giving a serious and devout performance. Rosefeldt complements Blanchett’s work with images that are both stolen from other filmmakers and invented wholly. Or maybe it’s all stolen and rearranged just enough to make it look new again.

MANDALA INFUSION IS HERE TO SERVE
A
BY CAITLIN ROCKETT
string of prayer flags flutter over Mandala Infusion. Even in the oppressive heat, a sense of peace is palpable — seems the prayer flags are doing their job. A large, red prayer wheel greets patrons at the door, an age-old Buddhist mantra scrawled around the cylinder in Tibetan: om mani padme hum. It translates literally to “hail to the jewel in the lotus.” Different religious leaders have explained the mantra in various ways, but the Dalai Lama explains it like this: “[T]he six syllables, om mani padme hum, mean that in dependence on the practice of a path which is an indivisible union of method and wisdom, you can transform your impure body, speech and mind into the pure exalted body, speech, and mind of a Buddha... ” In essence, the mantra embodies the teachings of the Buddhist practice; in chanting it, practitioners seek compassion and, eventually, enlightenment. If Mandala Infusion sounds like a temple, that’s because it is — in a way. Owner and Tibetan-native Takla Armour created the restaurant as a community gathering place, an environment for people to share experiences, good food and culture. Takla moved to Portland, Oregon, from Tibet in 2009, but a trip to Boulder reminded him so much of home that he moved here in 2010. “When I came to America I found the freedom to express and pursue my dream, but I did not know what it was for awhile,” Armour says. “I always dreamed of having a Tibetan community place, and I kept thinking of having a temple or a place where people could meditate or have teaching retreats. I kept polishing my idea into a restaurant where we can bring food and people together.” In 2015, Mandala Infusion was born, but like any labor of love, it took perseverance and hard work.
Armour spent 13 months renovating the space on Broadway in North Boulder where Mandala now sits, bringing much of the building up to code for a restaurant. It took hours, days and weeks of work to search for funding to purchase the pieces that make Mandala such a welcoming space, like the three Sangha tables that sit in the main dining area. These low-to-the-ground tables invite patrons to remove their shoes and enjoy a meal as many Tibetan families do each day. Mandala offers a smattering of classic Tibetan delights, such as soft and savory vegetable and lamb momos. A humble suggestion is to explore the menu by ordering several of the small plates: tender short ribs with housemade kimchi that will clear the sinuses; sliders known as tingbuns made with your choice of pork belly, short ribs or tofu; traditional falafel and tahini, homemade bone broth and a stir fry dish known as shapta made with sirloin. Larger dishes include chicken or vegan curry (with just the right amount of heat to stimulate the senses, not render them useless); marinated chicken breast with roasted golden beets, bok choy and roasted potatoes; and veggie thupka, an Asian noodle dish that is famously variant among Tibetan people, with the magical healing powers often attributed to noodle soups. To Armour, who holds degrees in nutrition and exercise science, “Food is medicine.” “In a way, nourishing people through food is healing,” he says. “It enhances culture and well-being.” At the end of the day, Armour sees Mandala as a temple, as a place of reverence for culture. “This place is to be shared,” he says. “Anything that people can use this space for, we are of service.” Mandala Infusion. 4479 N.

With sadness and regret, we are closing the doors at Scotts, our last dinner service will be Saturday the 24th. I’d like to thank everyone that brought their hard work, talent and dedication to this wonderful collaboration. We are deeply grateful to the team that is seeing us to the finish, some that have been with Scotts’ family from the beginning. I’m very proud of what we accomplished at Scotts on Alpine. We were recognized repeatedly by our peers and guests for providing an exceptional experience, unfortunately we just couldn’t find that perfect alchemy that makes a restaurant financially viable. And to our friends that believed in us, and supported us all the way through, our sincerest affection and gratitude goes to all or you as well. We will miss you (until the next time).

Montmorency ‘pie’ cherries are fruit’s great leap to immortality IT IS CHERRY SEASON,
and while everyone else is feasting on Colorado bing cherries, I’m hunting for Montmorency cherries, one of the best foods on the planet. Bing cherries are bred to be big, firm and super-sweet with a long shelf-life, but tart cherries are small, delicate and jammin’ with flavor and character. When was the last time you saw fresh — not frozen, canned or dried — pie cherries for sale at a supermarket, farmers market or farm stand? Your answer would be “almost never.” If you see fresh Colorado tart cherries, buy them at any price. More likely a few cherry sellers at farmers markets will have frozen pie cherries, usually sold by the quart or gallon. That is why few sights make me sadder than driving around Boulder County seeing “ornamental” Montmorency trees.
The precious, dark pink cherries hanging heavy on the trees could be nestling inside pastry or roast pork instead of falling to the ground or gurgling in the guts of ravenous squirrels and birds. It makes me want to hold a memorial service for the fallen fruit as a beautiful, well-cared-for tree is ignored at its greatest moment of the year. (You might as well chop it down — an activity George Washington never engaged in, making it the first known case of presidential fake news.) I’ve had a thing for tart cherries since I was a kid. I remember getting in trouble for attacking a deep-dish cherry pie before a family event, but it was so damn good. Despite my bona fides as a national pie expert, I still have an excessive fondness for cherry Hostess Pies. I usually have a quart of tasty, anti-inflammatory tart cherry juice in my fridge to add to water and iced tea. These wasted trees are also a tragedy because Colorado’s see NIBBLES Page 54

season is short, poignant and sometimes non-existent. I know from personal experience that cherry trees are Counterpoint tart damn hard to grow in the Front Range’s climate of cherry pie with salty, extremes. When the trees were good, they were very, creamy blue or Roquefort cheese. very good and produced copious quantities of fruit. When they were bad almost every other year, they produced a bumper crop of disappointment and nearly zero cherries. In good years, you have to guard the crop with your life and with fake birds of prey, nets, shiny hanging things and noise-makers. Harvest is also a pain. Forget Pilates, Crossfit or stand-up paddleboarding for your next workout. Find a full cherry tree, bring a ladder and a bucket and prepare to sweat as you pick and stain your fingers Kim Long pink. I guarantee you will never, ever again undervalue the laborers who harvest America’s cherries or the cost per pound. Pitting cherries is an undeniably tedious process, especially when you discover how many tart cherries it takes to make a deepdish cobbler. Some folks pit them by hand in a meditative practice, but if you are doing pounds of them you need a manual cherry pitter to speed up the process. Whatever you do, save the juice for drinking or cooking. All the effort is more than worth it. One of my family’s favorite Thanksgiving side dishes over the years has been pickled pie cherries. They are very easy to make and, while you can taste them after a few weeks, it’s best to let them age. Break the cherries out for a garnish in Manhattans, serve them with grilled fish or as a cranberry sauce alternative with turkey and stuffing.
Pickled Pie Cherries
1/2 cup rice, white or champagne vinegar 1/3 to 1/2 cup water 1 1/2 cups sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt Additions: black peppercorns, fresh ginger, allspice, bay leaves, chile flakes, mustard seeds 1 1/2 pounds tart pie cherries, rinsed and pitted Bring vinegar, water and sugar to a boil and continue until sugar is dissolved. Remove pan from heat and add any or all of the spice additions. Some cooks only use salt and peppercorns. Pack cherries into a heat-proof jar and fill to the top with liquid. Seal with a tight lid and refrigerate. Note: Leftover liquid can be strained, reduced by simmering and served as a sauce over vanilla ice cream. see NIBBLES Page 56

The eateries in Denver and Greenwood Village are coowned by a member of the Osage Nation. The bison ribs are slowly oven braised, fall-off-the-bone tender and finished on the grill to pick up some char. The bones are dished with a fluffy round of fry bread with house hot sauce and a berry barbecue sauce. They are worth a drive.

drink Tour de brew: Gordon Biersch Brewery Knocking back California German in Colorado
BOULDER BOULDER BEER’S BEER’S
by Michael J. Casey
T
Susan France
here’s a little bit of globetrotting going on every time you knock back a beer from the Gordon Biersch Brewery. Started in Palo Alto, California, in 1987 by brewer Dan Gordon and restaurateur Dean Biersch, Gordon Biersch was a neighborhood restaurant that offered customers local beer while they enjoyed their meal. Restaurant breweries are ubiquitous now, but in 1987 it was a much sparser scene. And it was Dan Gordon — the first American in over 40 years to graduate from the prestigious brewing program at the Technical University of Munich in Weihenstephan, Germany — who helped Gordon Biersch stand out from the crowd throughout the years. Thanks to Gordon, Gordon Biersch’s beers follow the guidelines of the German Purity Law, the Reinheitsgebot, which dictates that all beer should be brewed only with water, hops, barley and yeast. For serious beer drinkers, particularly those who value the purity of platonic expression over invention, the Reinheitsgebot is king and it didn’t take long for Gordon Biersch to flourish, eventually expanding to over 30 locations in 18 states. Like a lot of Californians, Gordon Biersch made its way to the Centennial State in 2000, bringing a healthy selection of Germaninspired brews for Coloradans to quaff while taking a break from perusing the endless consumables of ON TAP: Gordon Biersch Brewery, the Flatirons Mall. 1 West Flatiron Crossing Since Gordon Biersch is a large-scale brewery, Drive, Suite 428, Broomfield, most of their beers can be found at your local 720-887-2991, gordonbiersch.com. liquor mart, which is how I first discovered them. Drunk out of the bottle, these beers are fine but lack distinction. Hence my surprise to discover what a difference a visit to the source can be. No six-pack can compete with beer poured straight from the taps at a brewery, and drinking Gordon Biersch’s offerings on their large patio proved to be a fresher, fuller and livelier experience. Their Golden Export (5 percent alcohol by volume) sports refreshing Bavarian hops while their Czech Pilsner (5.5 percent) exhibits the definite flavor of the Saaz hop. Try them side by side and you’ll notice the difference between Golden Export’s tangerine and citrus flavors versus the herbal spice found in the pilsner. For easy drinking, Gordon Biersch’s Hefeweizen (5.5 percent) is full, fruity and thirst-quenching with banana and clove as the dominant flavors. For those seeking a little more bitterness, Maibock (7 percent) features just enough to keep your hand going back for the glass. There’s even the pleasant surprise of black pepper hiding between the hops. If that’s not enough, you can round out your session with Gordon Biersch’s Schwarzbier, aged in Woodford Reserve bourbon barrels (7 percent). Bourbon barrelaged beer may be a tad heavy for a hot summer day, but with this much oak on the nose and vanilla in the mouth, exceptions can be made. When it comes to alcohol percentages, the Maibock and Schwarzbier were the two outliers. The rest of Gordon Biersch’s brews hit the 5 to 5.5 percent mark, making them ideal for food pairings and being able to stand up after you’ve had a few. This is good, because Gordon Biersch isn’t exactly stumbling distance from anywhere.

ARIES
MARCH 21-APRIL 19: There are places in the oceans
where the sea floor cracks open and spreads apart from volcanic activity. This allows geothermally heated water to vent out from deep inside the earth. Scientists explored such a place in the otherwise frigid waters around Antarctica. They were elated to find a “riot of life” living there, including previously unknown species of crabs, starfish, sea anemones and barnacles. Judging from the astrological omens, Aries, I suspect that you will soon enjoy a metaphorically comparable eruption of warm vitality from the unfathomable depths. Will you welcome and make use of these raw blessings even if they are unfamiliar and odd?
TAURUS
APRIL 20-MAY 20: I’m reporting from the first annual
Psychic Olympics in Los Angeles. For the past five days, I’ve competed against the world’s top mind-readers, dice-controllers, spirit whisperers, spoon-benders, angelwrestlers and stock market prognosticators. Thus far I have earned a silver medal in the category of channeling the spirits of dead celebrities. (Thanks, Frida Kahlo and Gertrude Stein!) I psychically foresee that I will also win a gold medal for most accurate fortune-telling. Here’s the prophecy that I predict will cinch my victory: “People born in the sign of Taurus will soon be at the pinnacle of their ability to get telepathically aligned with people who have things they want and need.”
GEMINI
MAY 21-JUNE 20: While reading Virginia Woolf, I found the perfect maxim for you to write on a slip of paper and carry around in your pocket or wallet or underwear: “Let us not take it for granted that life exists more fully in what is commonly thought big than in what is commonly thought small.” In the coming weeks, dear Gemini, I hope you keep this counsel simmering constantly in the back of your mind. It will protect you from the dreaminess and superstition of people around you. It will guarantee that you’ll never overlook potent little breakthroughs as you scan the horizon for phantom miracles. And it will help you change what needs to be changed slowly and surely, with minimum disruption.
CANCER
JUNE 21-JULY 22: Now that you’ve mostly paid
off one of your debts to the past, you can go windowshopping for the future’s best offers. You’re finally ready to leave behind a power spot you’ve outgrown and launch your quest to discover fresh power spots. So bid farewell to lost causes and ghostly temptations, Cancerian. Slip away from attachments to traditions that longer move you and the deadweight of your original family’s expectations. Soon you’ll be empty and light and free — and ready to make a vigorous first impression when you encounter potential allies in the frontier.
LEO
JULY 23-AUG. 22: I suspect you will soon have an
up-close and personal encounter with some form of lightning. To ensure it’s not a literal bolt shooting down out of a thundercloud, please refrain from taking long romantic strolls with yourself during a storm. Also, forgo any temptation you may have to stick your finger in electrical sockets. What I’m envisioning is a type of lightning that will give you a healthy metaphorical jolt. If any of your creative circuits are sluggish, it will jumpstart them. If you need to wake up from a dreamy delusion, the lovable lightning will give you just the right salutary shock.
VIRGO
AUG. 23-SEPT. 22: Signing up to read at the open mike
segment of a poetry slam? Buying an outfit that’s a departure from the style you’ve cultivated for years? Getting dance lessons or a past-life reading or instructions on how to hang-glide? Hopping on a jet for a spontaneous getaway to an exotic hotspot? I approve of actions like those, Virgo. In fact, I won’t mind if you at least temporarily abandon at least 30 percent of your inhibitions.
Boulder Weekly
LIBRA
SEPT. 23-OCT. 22: I don’t know what marketing specialists are predicting about color trends for the general population, but my astrological analysis has discerned the most evocative colors for you Libras. Electric mud is one. It’s a scintillating mocha hue. Visualize silver-blue sparkles emerging from moist dirt tones. Earthy and dynamic! Cybernatural is another special color for you. Picture sheaves of ripe wheat blended with the hue you see when you close your eyes after staring into a computer monitor for hours. Organic and glimmering! Your third pigment of power is pastel adrenaline: a mix of dried apricot and the shadowy brightness that flows across your nerve synapses when you’re taking aggressive practical measures to convert your dreams into realities. Delicious and dazzling!
SCORPIO
OCT. 23-NOV. 21: Do you ever hide behind a wall of detached cynicism? Do you protect yourself with the armor of jaded coolness? If so, here’s my proposal: In accordance with the astrological omens, I invite you to escape those perverse forms of comfort and safety. Be brave enough to risk feeling the vulnerability of hopeful enthusiasm. Be sufficiently curious to handle the fluttery uncertainty that comes from exploring places you’re not familiar with and trying adventures you’re not totally skilled at.
SAGITTARIUS
NOV. 22-DEC. 21: “We must unlearn the constella-
tions to see the stars,” writes Jack Gilbert in his poem “Tear It Down.” He adds that “We find out the heart only by dismantling what the heart knows.” I invite you to meditate on these ideas. By my calculations, it’s time to peel away the obvious secrets so you can penetrate to the richer secrets buried beneath. It’s time to dare a worldchanging risk that is currently obscured by easy risks. It’s time to find your real life hidden inside the pretend one, to expedite the evolution of the authentic self that’s germinating in the darkness.
CAPRICORN
DEC. 22-JAN. 19: When I was 4 years old, I loved to
use crayons to draw diagrams of the solar system. It seems I was already laying a foundation for my interest in astrology. How about you, Capricorn? I invite you to explore your early formative memories. To aid the process, look at old photos and ask relatives what they remember. My reading of the astrological omens suggests that your past can show you new clues about what you might ultimately become. Potentials that were revealed when you were a wee tyke may be primed to develop more fully.
AQUARIUS
JAN. 20-FEB. 18: I often ride my bike into the hills. The
transition from the residential district to open spaces is a narrow dirt path surrounded by thick woods on one side and a steep descent on the other. Today as I approached this place there was a new sign on a post. It read “Do not enter: Active beehive forming in the middle of the path.” Indeed, I could see a swarm hovering around a tree branch that juts down low over the path. How to proceed? I might get stung if I did what I usually do. Instead, I dismounted from my bike and dragged it through the woods so I could join the path on the other side of the bees. Judging from the astrological omens, Aquarius, I suspect you may encounter a comparable interruption along a route that you regularly take. Find a detour, even if it’s inconvenient.
PISCES
FEB. 19-MARCH 20: I bet you’ll be extra creative in the coming weeks. Cosmic rhythms are nudging you towards fresh thinking and imaginative innovation, whether they’re applied to your job, your relationships, your daily rhythm or your chosen art form. To take maximum advantage of this provocative luck, seek out stimuli that will activate high-quality brainstorms. I understand that the composer André Grétry got inspired when he put his feet in ice water. Author Ben Johnson felt energized in the presence of a purring cat and by the aroma of orange peels. I like to hang out with people who are smarter than me. What works for you?

5290 ARAPAHOE AVE. SUITE J, BOULDER, CO
Dear Dan: I am a 34-year-old straight woman. I’m monogamous and have an avoidant attachment style. I’ve been seeing a guy I really like. He’s just my type, the kind of person I’ve been looking for my whole life. Thing is, he’s in an open relationship with someone he’s been with for most of his adult life. He was sneaky — he didn’t reveal he was in an open relationship until the second date, but by then I was infatuated and felt like I wasn’t in control of my actions. So what I’ve learned is that poly couples often seek out others to create NRE or “new relationship energy,” which may help save their relationship in the long run. I was deeply hurt to learn about NRE. What about the people who are dragged into a situation by some charmer in an attempt to breathe new life into a stale relationship? I feel like no one cares about the people on the side, the ones who might be perceived to be cheating with someone’s partner, as some sort of competitor, a hussy. How can I reconcile the fact that I’ve fallen for someone who sees me as a tool to be discarded once the excitement wears off? I know we all have a choice, but we also know what it’s like to be infatuated by someone who seems perfect. I feel like such a loser. — Sobbing Here And Making Errors Dear SHAME: “One of life’s hardest lessons is this: Two people can be absolutely crazy in love with each other and still not be good partners,” Franklin Veaux says, coauthor of More Than Two: A Practical Guide to Ethical Polyamory (morethantwo.com). “If you’re monogamous and you meet someone you’re completely smitten with who isn’t,
Boulder Weekly
SAVAGE
Love
by Dan Savage
the best thing to do is acknowledge that you’re incompatible and go your separate ways. It hurts and it sucks, but there it is.” This perfect, sneaky guy who makes you feel like a loser and a hussy? He told you he was in an open relationship on your second date. You knew he wasn’t “your type” or “perfect” for you the second time you laid eyes on him, SHAME, and you needed to go your separate ways at that point. And I’m not buying your excuse (“I was too infatuated!”). What if he had revealed that he was a recreational bed wetter? Or a serial killer? Or Jeffrey Lord? Or all of the above? Surely you would’ve dumped him then. Veaux advocates ethical polyamory — it’s right there in the title of his book — and he thinks this guy did you wrong by not disclosing his partner’s existence right away. “Making a nonmonogamous relationship work requires a commitment to communication, honesty, and transparency,” said Veaux. “Concealing the fact that you’re in a relationship is a big violation of all three, and no good will come of it.” I have a slightly different take. Straight women in open relationships have an easier
time finding men willing to fuck and/or date them; their straight male counterparts have a much more difficult time. Stigma and double standards are at work here — she’s sexually adventurous; he’s a cheating bastard — and waiting to disclose the fact that you’re poly (or kinky or HIV-positive or a cammer) is a reaction to/work-around for that. It’s also a violation of poly best practices, like Veaux says, but the stigma is a violation, too. Waiting to disclose your partner, kink, HIV status, etc., can prompt the other person to weigh their assumptions and prejudices about poly/kinky/poz people against the living, breathing person they’ve come to know. Still, disclosure needs to come early — within a date or two, certainly before anyone gets fucked — so the other person can bail if poly/kinky/poz is a deal breaker. As for that new relationship energy stuff... “There are, in truth, polyamorous people who are NRE junkies,” Veaux says. “Men and women who chase new relationships in pursuit of that emotional fix. They’re not very common, but they do exist, and alas they tend to leave a lot of destruction in their wake.” But your assumptions about how NRE
works are wrong, SHAME. Seeing your partner in the throes of NRE doesn’t bring the primary couple closer together; it often places a strain on the relationship. Opening up a relationship can certainly save it (if openness is a better fit for both partners), but NRE isn’t a log the primary couple tosses on the emotional/erotic fire. It’s something a poly person experiences with a new partner, not something a poly person enjoys with an established one. And there are lots of examples of long-term poly relationships out there — established triads, quads, quints — so your assumption about being discarded once NRE wears off is also off, SHAME. There are no guarantees, however. If this guy were single and looking for a monogamous relationship, you could nevertheless discover you’re not right for each other and wind up being discarded or doing the discarding yourself. I’m going to give the final word to our guest expert… “Having an avoidant attachment style complicates things, because one of the things that can go along with avoidant attachment is idealizing partners who are inaccessible or unavailable,” Veaux says. “That can make it harder to let go. But if you’re radically incompatible with the person you love, letting go is likely your only healthy choice. Good luck!” Send questions to mail@savagelove.net, follow @fakedansavage on Twitter and visit ITMFA.org.

celebrities buying these pieces just like you’ve got investors buying them, too. So we find ourselves at an interesting moment when demand is being unleashed just as the artists are seeing newfound permission for their work. I’m lucky just to be positioned at the center of it all.” One of the first and most influential of this artistic renaissance is Washington blower Scott Deppe, who Kandel refers to as “all of my favorite glass artists’ favorite glass artist.” Before the legal market existed, Deppe was making a new class of functional art, creating colorful and elaborate multi-part pieces that more closely resemble a game of Mousetrap than a pipe, and just like that, Deppe changed the game. Instead of letting the function of form limit his art, he used it to unleash a new wave of creativity, one that consumers were eager to support. Notable buyers like Snoop Dogg have been bolstering the work of folks like Deppe for a while now, but in the last decade a new wave of celebrities are commissioning the next generation of artists. Poker champion and celebrity Dan Bilzerian recently bought a piece from the glass artist colloquially known as Buck. It’s a 10-foot tall chandelier composed of goat heads, each individual pipes. And Action Bronson, star of Viceland’s Traveling the Stars, regularly invests in pieces and frequents Colorado to do so. “Colorado is the new mecca of glass,” Kandel says. “And this is just the beginning.” Not only are we witnessing an artistic renaissance, Kandel says, but a cash fall as well. Kandel only deals with high-end pieces, buying and selling pipes that range from $10,000 to $70,000. At the extreme end of the market, he says he’s seen pieces list for up to $100,000 and says these pieces are only growing in value. For an example he points to a piece in his own collection, one by artist Quave that he bought for $10,000 that’s now valued at $65,000 — the type of return that would make any investor take note. Without hesitation he says, “We are in a boom of functional glass art.”

Pot, booze and fake news
T
he story was a real attention-grabber. It said a study done earlier this year found that 51 percent of California millennials (Californians aged 18-29) were substituting marijuana for alcohol as their recreational drug of choice. Alas, it was fake news. But if you strip away the fake news, there was real news underneath. Here’s how it came down. Earlier this year, OutCo, a Southern California-based medical cannabis company, and Monocle Research conducted a study of California marijuana users. A six-page report on the study was issued in April. It contained a graphic that flatly stated “51 percent of millennials choose cannabis” — which most readers (including me) would take to mean that half of all California millennials who used booze were switching to weed. That is apparently what a number of reporters thought the report was saying, and that’s how they reported their stories. For instance, the lede on an April 27 story in Natural News read, “A report by medical cannabis provider OutCo revealed that 51 percent of millennials — people born from 1982 to 2004 — preferred taking marijuana over drinking alcohol.” If that were the case, the nation’s booze makers
should be crying in their beer and shaking in their boots, because it would mean that they were being abandoned by tens of millions of young Americans. However, it turned out the study was not a survey of all millennials. It was a survey of 2,000 California pot users of all ages. What the survey really found is that among California millennials who used marijuana, more than half preferred marijuana to alcohol. A Gallup poll conducted last summer found that only about 13 percent of all Americans use marijuana. Among millennials the figure was just under 20 percent. So the nation’s brewers, wine makers and distillers don’t have to worry about being put out of business by defecting stoners just yet. Still, the survey should give them cause for concern. What the OutCo/ Monocle survey really discovered is that if millennials become regular marijuana users they are a lot less likely to drink, with about half of them substituting pot for booze altogether. The study also found that about 20 percent of California Generation X pot users and 8 percent of Cal Baby Boomer users preferred marijuana to alcohol. Beer took the biggest hit among millennial pot users; 34 percent of them preferred marijuana to
beer. Another 18 percent preferred marijuana to wine, and 14 percent preferred weed to distilled spirits. (Presumably there is some overlap among the groups.) Marijuana use in the U.S. is clearly increasing as more and more states legalize. If the switching pattern continues among new users, the alcohol industry is going to have some real competition in the not too distant future. The OutCO/Monocle survey also asked pot users why they preferred marijuana to alcohol, and their responses are the more interesting, and newsworthy, part of the survey. Marijuana users who chose pot over alcohol cited safety, cost and health as reasons for making the switch. “Many expressed the fear of making poor decisions when consuming alcohol, which included driving over the legal limit,” the survey said. “Cost also came into play,” it added, “with many stating that their overall spending on alcohol outstrips that of high quality cannabis.” Finally, health was given as a factor when substituting cannabis for alcohol, the study reported. Participants said “that the effects of a hangover from alcohol lasted the entire next day, while high volumes of cannabis usage had no noticeable lasting effects; thereby making them feel healthier and more active.” The Marijuana Policy Project and other prolegalization organizations have been arguing for years that compared to alcohol, marijuana is the safer recreational drug. Users evidently agree. The fact that users also find that marijuana is the cheaper recreational drug will probably take a lot of people by surprise. When the marijuana industry starts going head to head with the booze industry, its slogan will be “Marijuana, a better high at a lower price.” It’ll be interesting to see how the brewers respond.

LOCAL TRAINS, BUSES: ‘IT’S TOO HOT FOR THIS’
After record high temperatures oppressed the Front Range this week, two local pieces of transportation infrastructure decided they had enough and just quit on the job. On Tuesday night, a train in East Boulder derailed, damaging its mostly empty cars and some of the tracks. “I just think anything above 95 degrees is too hot,” the train told BW in an exclusive interview. “When the conductor told me we had to go out anyway, I was like, ‘Um, what are you talking about?’” The following morning, seeing that temperatures were expected to stay high, an RTD bus skid off the road and nearly flipped over. “You ever eat a really big lunch when it’s hot outside

If you’re totally over goat yoga — and who isn’t because last week was totally seven days ago and those hoof marks still haven’t healed — get ready to realign your root chakra with beer yoga. For now, you might have to jump the pond to sip a brewski while in warrior one... or you could just unroll your mat and crack a cold one in the comfort of your own home. Hell, your cat will probably jump on your back during the process and boom, Cornelius383 you’ve got catbeer yoga. Actually, stop by the office. We’re now charging $17 for a drop-in reporter-gin yoga class. The editorial staff will scream at you and nibble at your clothes while you try to figure out what to do with your gimlet in down dog. For an extra $3, we’ll yell encouraging phrases like, “You’re really flexible for a dude,” “You look really good on your Instagram feed” and “No one cares that you just passed gas.” Business Insider reports that Funzing UK is hosting beer yoga in a traditional English pub in London. Why, you ask? Because why not, we reply, but we’re already drunk because we’ve been doing beer yoga in the office since 10 a.m., but without the yoga. Apparently folks are tense when they come to yoga, and drinking a beer while in a compromising and wobbly position is relaxing. And apparently the relaxing benefits of yoga weren’t relaxing enough. In other news, a U.S. official from the Department of Homeland Security has said that Russian hackers targeted election systems in 21 states during last year’s campaign. Namaste. Boulder Weekly
