Highroad ISDS: A corporate cluster bomb to obliterate our sovereignty by Jim Hightower
T
he Powers That Be are very unhappy with you and me. They’re also unhappy with senators like Elizabeth Warren, activist groups like Public Citizen, unions like the Communications Workers, and… well, with the majority of us Americans who oppose the establishment’s latest free trade scam. Despite its benign name, the Trans-
Pacific Partnership is a cluster-bomb of legalized “gotchas.” TPP empowers global corporations from Brunei, Japan, Vietnam and eight other nations to circumvent and even overturn our local, state and national laws. Those moneyed elites are upset that rabble like us oppose their latest effort to enthrone corporate power over citizen power, and they’re particularly peeved that we’ve found TPP’s trigger mechanism — something called “Investor-State Dispute Settlements.” That’s a mouthful of wonky gobbledygook, isn’t it? Indeed, ISDS is an intentionally arcane phrase meant to hide its democracy-destroying impact from us. It would create a system of private, international tribunals through which corporations (i.e., “investors”) could sue our sovereign governments to overturn laws that might trim the level of corporate profits that — get this — they “expected” to make. These tribunals are not part of our

public courts of justice but are totally privatized, inherently biased corporate “courts” set up by the UN and the World Bank. A tribunal’s “judges” are corporate lawyers, and they unilaterally decide whether the protections we’ve enacted for workers, consumers, our environment, etc. might pinch the profits of some foreign corporation. Jefferson, Madison, Adams and the other revolutionaries of 1776 would upchuck at this desecration of our nation’s democratic ideals — and so should we.

Wanted: Fifty Boulder voters who think local government matters by Joel Dyer
T
here is an election deadline rapidly approaching and the majority of potential city-council candidates for Boulder could use your help. At 5 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 24, any person running for a city council seat who doesn’t have 25 legal signatures on their “petition of nomination� gets punted to the curb and will not have their names on the ballot for this November’s election. No big deal, right? I mean, how hard can it be to walk around with a clipboard and get 25 registered voters — including friends, family and coworkers — to sign their name to your petition? Well, that’s a valid point in most communities in our county and state, but as we’ve all come to expect, this nice simple process that was set out in Colorado’s Uniform Election Code of 1992 to make it easier to run for elected office in your hometown, has been turned into something more burdensome in Boulder. Surprise. Boulder is a home-rule community, and for the most part that’s great. Home rule allows Boulder to create its own rules and regs so long as they are at least as stringent as the state’s. This is a good thing when it comes to issues like campaign finance or financial dis-
closure requirements for candidates. But what Boulder has done when it comes to running for city council is to make it harder to get on the ballot and that’s hardly a good thing, unless of course the goal of making it more difficult is to maintain the status quo on council. Did I mention that is not a good thing? Now if you go right down the road about 12 minutes you’ll come to Longmont. Longmont’s government seems to be working pretty darn well of late with all its fracking bans and new art districts and free bus passes for its citizens and high speed Internet for all. And in Longmont, like other Boulder County communities, all you have to do to run for council is gather 25 registered Longmont voters to sign your petition of nomination. You can sign folks up at work. You can sign folks up on a street corner in the evening. You can sign up the person sharing the bed with you in the middle of the night so long as they are registered to vote in your town. In short, if you want to run for council it’s pretty easy to get on the ballot, and this ease of getting on the ballot doesn’t seem to be doing anything in Longmont but making for pretty good government. Boulder is different. It has made Boulder Weekly
Kristina Lucero
DyerTimes this simple petition process about as hard as it can. In Boulder, the candidate has to go in to the City Clerk’s office, take an oath and consent to run for council. But unlike in other towns, the candidate’s petition of nomination has to stay in the “possession of the City Clerk at all times.” This is critical because it means that the petition in the Clerk’s office is only available to be signed during work hours during the week and must be signed in the presence of the City Clerk or the “Clerk’s designee” after taking an oath just to sign the petition. ( Just a note: the actual charter language seems to indicate that only the City Clerk can witness a nomination signature which must be signed only in the City Clerk’s office. But when the packet for candidates was prepared the language was changed to allow for signatures in front of the “Clerk’s designee” who sits at a table out in a hallway not in the Clerk’s office.) I’m not trying to be stupid picky here. I think Boulder’s whole cumbersome process is a bit ridiculous and designed to keep competition off the ballot more than to protect the sanctity of our local elections. I’m just pointing out that, based on the information on the city’s own website, Boulder seems happy to be sticklers about how petition of nomination signatures can be gathered but less willing to inconvenience its own City Clerk by following its own silly rules to the letter. If you think this difference between Boulder and the rest of the towns around here isn’t significant, consider this: Out of the 18 citizens who have stepped up to run for council in Boulder, 10 still do not have the necessary petition-of-nomination signatures to make the ballot as of Aug. 19. It’s hard to believe the majority of people who want a chance to impact the future of their community, as elected city leaders, are down to just two days remaining to get their signatures for nomination. There are five city council seats up for grabs this November. It would be a sad commentary on Boulder if only eight people, including current council members seeking reelection, are on the ballot for all those seats. So how about this solution? Any registered voter who lives in Boulder can go to the second floor of the Municipal building on the southwest corner of Canyon and Broadway and solve this local government dilemma. All you have to do is walk up to the table in the hallway where the very helpful Danielle or Dianne (Clerk designees) will assist you in oath taking and the signing of up to five candidate Boulder Weekly
petitions of nomination, one for each council seat being contested. If just 50 concerned voters will take a few minutes out of their busy workday to go sign their name five times, Boulder can have 18 people putting forward their ideas to make thie city better instead of just eight, and that’s better for everyone. This is an important election year locally that could decide the future of issues like growth, municipalization, affordable housing, the ongoing use of citizens as guinea pigs in “experiments” like “rightsizing,” and so on. So the more ideas for solutions the better, or 18 heads are better than eight, or however you want to think of it. I’m not saying that the 10 candidates who need your help are all good, qualified candidates, but it’s very unlikely that none of them are good and qualified. The bottom line is we will never know if they don’t make it to ballot because we in the media are only going to be able to interview and endorse the candidates who actually make the ballot. That’s not quite right. What I should have said is Boulder Weekly will be endorsing candidates. We’ll have to wait and see if the corporate keeper of the other papers in the county will allow them to endorse this time around or if they’ll bow out again leaving you wondering which candidates reflect their values and positions. This really isn’t a poke at the Camera, it’s honest encouragement. Boulder needs its daily paper and it needs that paper to step up and endorse candidates again like it did for more than 120 years until recently. Endorsements tell people as much about the endorser’s vision for the city as they do about the candidates receiving them. People have the right to know where the Camera stands, so it should save its “we think the voters can make up their own minds” excuse for trying not to offend its advertisers and readers and tell us where it really stands. Thankfully, the Camera’s editorial pages have been raised from the dead this year, so why not continue this positive trend by bringing back endorsements? I should add this caveat: forget this last request if Anschutz buys the Camera, we don’t need more Bucks and Gardners. So there it is. Just 50 concerned Boulder citizens can sign their names five times and turn the next two months into a robust Boulder City Council campaign season. I’d offer to buy a beer for the first 50 who step up but I’m pretty sure that crosses some line somewhere so you’ll just have to accept my thanks. Remember, the deadline is 5 p.m. Monday, Aug. 24.

I
don’t for a second doubt that any of the 22 candidates currently running for President — 17 Republicans and five Democrats — could run the country if they happened to get elected. This isn’t because they are political geniuses. It’s because the genius of the Constitution is that it created a government that doesn’t need a genius to run it. But with 22 candidates to choose from what’s a voter to do? Well one way to narrow the field is to go through the list and decide which candidates you would seriously consider supporting — the ones who are “on the list” for you — and which ones are off it. At this stage, it’s easier to decide who’s off the list than who’s on it. The first five candidates who are “off the list” for me are Jeb Bush, Hillary Clinton, Martin O’Malley, Chris Christie and Marco Rubio. Here’s why. Bush and Clinton are off the list for reasons that have nothing to do with their stands on the issues, their temperament or the content of their characters. If elected, Bush would probably govern from center-right and Clinton from center-left, which would drive the activists in their respective parties crazy, but which, judging by past experience, most Americans can live with most of the time. But that’s beside the point. The reason they’re off the list is that the American Presidency is neither a hereditary office nor a family business, and the only way to keep it from turning into one is to quit voting for candidates who, by virtue of birth or marriage, are political royalists whose election would perpetuate American dynasties. Why does this matter? Because the more dynastic American politics become, the less committed the American people become to both the American political process and the government it produces. This isn’t a withdrawal of the consent of the governed (which can lead to revolution). It’s the loss of interest and alienation of the governed — and that can be pretty corrosive in its own right. But America is supposed to be about judging people on their ideas, values, accomplishments and characters,
not their ancestry and family. So isn’t this horribly unfair to Jeb and Hillary? You betcha, but it can’t be helped. There is no structural fix for American dynastic politics. The only way to end the dynasties, or to prevent new ones from emerging, is for the voters to say no to them — even if it means saying no to qualified people. So Jeb and Hillary are off the list. The third candidate that’s off the list is Martin O’Malley, the former governor of Maryland. He’s off the list because when Black Lives Matter activists boorishly seized the microphone from him at the leftist Netroots Nation conference and demanded to know if he thought Black lives mattered, he told them that he thought all lives mattered — and then issued a groveling apology because it offended both the activists and a lot of the conference goers. Just the kind of guy you want negotiating with Putin, Khamenei, Kim Jongun or Al Sharpton. O’Malley is off the list for pandering, cowardice and, above all, political decadence. If you have to apologize for saying “all lives matter” and apologize to a roomful of racist grievance mongers and blame America firsters at that, you’re not only unfit to be President but you are kind of a flop as a human being. Taking O’Malley’s off the list is a nobrainer. Then there’s Christie and Rubio. I genuinely like both of them. Christie is as plain-spoken as Harry Truman, and there is a lot of Truman’s common sense in what he says. Rubio is one of the two or three most articulate and passionate candidates in the Republican pack; he has a compelling personal narrative and, like Christie, a solid record of accomplishment in state politics (he was Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives before becoming a Senator). The reason Christie and Rubio are off the list is they want to re-criminalize marijuana and re-start the war on drugs. “If you’re getting high in Colorado today, enjoy it,” Christie says. “As of January 2017, I will enforce the federal laws.” Since 1965, over 20 million Americans have been arrested for marsee DANISH PLAN Page 11

letters Council should compensate Folsom businesses
I spent some time in Boulder Aug. 11 on business. I intended to avoid driving on Folsom, yet I found it necessary to do so for a very short distance. I will try harder in the future to insure complete evasion. I wonder if businesses along Folsom may see reduced receipts over the next few months. If they do, perhaps they should seek out their city council to request compensation. If “right-sizing” is truly about flow and linkages, why not experiment on a street where the traffic count is minuscule, where very few or no commercial uses exist? Gregory Iwan/Longmont
TAB spinning rightsizing to council
As a business owner in the heart of the gridlocked Folsom corridor, I decided to go to the Boulder Transportation Advisory Board meeting last night. I encountered an ideological phalanx composed of the board and the city transportation staff that were present. After public comment the advisory board coached the staff on how to market this experiment to the council and the people in an effort to make their experiment more palatable. Manipulate statistics omit some of the undecipherable data, anything to make their catastrophe look better. They appear interested in doing anything they can to sell this bill of goods and to put their stamp on the town. They also agreed not to try to close down Iris, 63rd St. etc. If public outcry diminishes those streets may be gridlock as well. I hope council can step up and demand some credibility
for these missteps, terminate this snafu and look closely at any more packaged living laboratory experiments. Andy Celani/Boulder

About that Trump guy
Gee whiz people...why is everybody freaking out about Donald Trump? I mean just what’s a bored billionaire suppose to do? Because he’s had everything the poor guy has had to find a new way to overindulge. And what could be more perfect than the international and historical lights, cameras and action than running for the American Presidency? When you add the fact that he can utilize it for therapeutic purposes such as hating certain people(s) publicly in primal scream form then wow it’s win, win all the way round I would guess.

ijuana offenses; over 80 percent of them for simple possession. Over 10 million of those arrests have occurred since the year 2000. The war on drugs generally, and the war on marijuana in particular, has done more to introduce tyranny into American life than anything in more than a century. It has cost American taxpayers well over $1 trillion and prolonged the second class citizenship of millions of Black Americans by saddling them with criminal records for a “crime” that is no more serious than drinking beer. Some would say dumping a candidate over his stand on marijuana is single issue voting, but it isn’t. Christie and Rubio’s stand on pot defines their stands on a) civil liber-

ties, b) states’ rights, c) the civil rights of Black Americans, d) the prudent handling of the public purse, e) the priorities and conduct of American foreign policy toward Mexico and Latin America generally, and f ) their willingness to get rid of waste, fraud and abuse and dysfunctional government programs and agencies. In light of their stands on marijuana and the drug war, you can’t take anything they say on these issues at face value. Christie and Rubio’s re-criminalization stands to make a mockery of the Republican Party’s claims to be the party of personal liberty and small government. They’re off the list.

HOLDING COURT Longmont, Fort Collins fracking lawsuits likely headed to Colorado Supreme Court
by Matt Cortina
I
n a rare move on Monday, Aug. 17, the Colorado Court of Appeals recommended that the state Supreme Court undertake lawsuits challenging Longmont’s fracking ban and Fort Collins’ fracking moratorium. It is not yet known if the Colorado Supreme Court will take the cases or boot them back to the appellate court — that determination could be weeks or months away. The decision by the lower court is just another turn in a long road of litigation between the two municipalities and oil and gas interests. When Longmont voters approved a charter amendment to ban fracking in 2012, the industry group Colorado Oil and Gas Association (COGA) sued the city and was soon joined by the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, the state agency tasked with regulating oil and gas operations. In 2015, a district judge ruled with the state, saying that Longmont’s ban interferes with the state’s ability to regulate oil and gas operations. Longmont appealed to the state’s Court of Appeals soon after, which led up to Monday’s punt by the appellate court to the state Supreme Court. It was a similar story in Fort Collins. In 2013, voters approved a five-year moratorium on fracking, which was Lawsuits against Longmont and Fort Collins could be heading to the Colorado Supreme overturned by a district judge less than a year later. In Court. September 2014, Fort Collins appealed. The two cases are distinct from each other for a multilocal governments may regulate or prohibit fracking.” Ruling on the tude of reasons, and the Court of Appeals, in part, felt the Supreme Longmont and Fort Collins cases would likely determine the fate of all Court would be more suited to hear both cases. other cases, the court wrote. The biggest reason that the Court of Appeals is attempting to pass Another reason why the Court of Appeals is passing on the case is the cases onto the higher court is because state law allows them to because it cannot set new legal precedent and must rely on past cases and request the transfer of a case to the Supreme Court if the matter at hand existing laws to make a ruling. However, in Longmont’s case, the appelis “an important state question, which has not been, but should be, deter- lants (the city and several advocacy groups) claim that the foremost precmined by the Supreme Court,” or if the case inherently has “imperative edent for oil and gas drilling jurisdiction rulings is based on an outdated public importance.” court case. In that 1992 case, Voss vs. Lundvall Bros.

news a home-rule city’s imposition of a total ban on the drilling of any oil, gas or hydrocarbon wells within the city limits.� “The Voss case that’s been used as precedent is dated,� says Kaye Fissinger, president of Our Longmont, an appellate on the case. “In 1992 or ’93, it wasn’t the same fracking. It didn’t use the same amount of water; it didn’t have the chemicals. They were going down and looking for a pool. That’s not the oil and gas industry of today. What they’re doing today is highly irresponsible.� The Court of Appeals wrote that they are “bound by Voss — only the Supreme Court can decide whether it should continue to be followed.� The Court of Appeals also noted the Supreme Court would need to sort out its own precedents, citing a previous lawsuit against Longmont, which was dropped as part of a lastminute “compromise� between Jared Polis and the state in exchange for Polis removing two anti-fracking ballot initiatives. In that previous lawsuit, Longmont cited Bowen Edwards Associates Inc. vs. the La Plata County Commissioners, a Supreme Court decision that sided with La Plata County and ruled that municipalities could have more stringent regulations than the state. The issue of precedents is central to the Fort Collins case. Because they have issued a moratorium and not a ban, the city raised the issue in their appeal that the state’s ability to preempt their local right to enact a moratorium may have no basis in Supreme Court precedence. The Court of Appeals also determined that it would generally be more cost efficient and expedient for the state to take on the issue. So the Supreme Court has several options now. It can boot the case back to the appellate court and force them to make a ruling; though, the Court of Appeals’ recommendation clearly came from a foundation that these issues are going to the Supreme Court eventually. The Supreme Court can also take on the case, which will set forth new timelines. No one quite knows what it will mean for the outcome of the cases if the Supreme Court decides to take
them on, but both sides are gearing up for a showdown. Fissinger, with Our Longmont, says the decision is a good sign for the city’s chances. “We generally think its good. Of course, you never can tell,â€? she says. “What I do find very encouraging about the order is that basically for the first time we’ve had a court acknowledge the fact that there are social consequences to the issue of fracking. The previous district courts of Boulder and Larimer [counties] did not take that similarly. “We do ultimately believe this needs to be resolved at the Supreme Court level,â€? she says. Citing the ongoing litigation, COGA sent a statement to Boulder Weekly and refused to comment further on the appellate court’s decision. Their statement read, in part: “In no way does this decision legitimize the pursuit of illegal bans. We look forward to when these cases are closed, and we can get back to how local control was meant — not by banning products from your city but working together to find reasonable solutions. “Moving the case to the Colorado Supreme Court in no way alters the fact that, to date, every Colorado court has declared bans and moratoria on hydraulic fracturing illegal.â€? Fissinger says the lawyers involved on her side of the case believe the Supreme Court will take the issue on, citing the fact that it might be easier to hear the cases now than wait for an appellate court ruling. “All options are on the table, and I think that applies here,â€? she says. “The only thing that might be compelling for them now is that there could be two distinct rulings from the two panels on the appellate courts, the one for Fort Collins, the one for Longmont. [Or] maybe they could have instructions for how the appellate court could resolve those potential divergent court rulings. You really can’t predict what courts will do. “We used to say take it to the Supreme Court and you’ll get the right conclusion‌ well, you can’t say that anymore,â€? she says. “I realize courts have politics now.â€?

Colorado’s workforce of the future
State pushes apprenticeships as alternative pathway to middle class by Angela K. Evans
S
ince 2009, the Colorado legislature has been enacting a series of workforce and education bills designed to increase career readiness and opportunities for students, culminating in the 2015 Colorado Ready to Work Package consisting of eight bills. This partners with Gov. John Hickenlooper’s Colorado Blueprint — a policy plan to move Colorado toward economic vitality with a mission to “educate and train the workforce of the future” as one of its several goals. On the education side, the statewide concurrent enrollment program was part of legislation passed in 2009, which encourages students to take higher education courses, including career and technical classes, while still enrolled in high school. It also allows for qualifying students to take a fifth year of publicly funded high school while completing community college coursework. And 2015 saw the passing of several bills focused on apprenticeship and internship programs and incentives for companies to train students in a variety of industry sectors across the state as part of concurrent enrollment. “We have downplayed anything other than a fouryear education for so many years,” says Colorado Senate assistant minority leader Sen. Rollie Heath (D-Boulder) who sponsored four of the eight 2015 workforce bills. “Really what all this is about is to get kids and parents to understand that if you don’t want to go to college it’s OK. Career and technical education provide good jobs but they require you to stay in high school and gain knowledge and skill.” And Sen. Heath would know. In the ’80s, he was both the national and international president of the 14 August 20, 2015
billion-dollar manufacturing corporation Johns Mansville, managing employees all over the world, including plants in Germany, where he came across the apprenticeship model for the first time. “We had apprentice and internship programs in every plant around the world except in this country. The irony is, a fiberglass plant in Germany and a fiberglass plant in Ohio would be doing the exact same thing [but with] 40 apprentices in Germany and none here,” Sen. Heath says. “I just became convinced that rather than creating an either/or [situation] — either a four-year college degree or a good technical education — we said all or nothing: If you don’t go to college you’re basically a failure.” As part of the German vocational training system, the government provides workforce training for industries and companies through a combination of “theory and practice, knowledge and skills, learning and working,” according to the German Missions in the U.S website. As part of the program, high school graduates work as apprentices at a specific company, while simultaneously completing theory coursework. These apprenticeships can last anywhere from one to four
years and often result in job placement within the same company, with the ability to gain increasing levels of certification, skill sets and managerial positions. Sen. Heath praises the German model for better integrating the concepts of school and work. According to him, there are thousands of jobs in the Colorado industrial sector “where we just don’t have the skilled work force to do it. Particularly in manufacturing, you have a demonstrated need and well-paying jobs. What we need to do is make sure that the right people understand that and then apply themselves and are given every opportunity to succeed both in the classroom and the workforce,” he says. Although the workforce in Colorado is expanding to meet market demands, much of this occurs through the importation of highly educated and/or skilled laborers. The workforce legislation and state run programs are intended to “ensure that the education and training pipelines within the state are adequately preparing youth and adults for the workforce and are aligned with the needs of the economy,” according to the 2105 Colorado Talent Pipeline report presented to legislators by the Colorado Workforce Development Council (CWDC). The report states that approximately 23 of every 100 ninth graders in Colorado will follow the conventional path — graduating high school, entering a post-secondary degree program and completing some level of certification within the four-year time frame. Of those initial 100 students, only 18 are expected to enter the Colorado workforce the first year after graduation, while some either get jobs outside of the state Boulder Weekly

a lot of time — you’re on your bike for 3,000 miles and that’s a lot of time for reflection,” Leah says. “And you have to call it: How many times have I almost gotten killed on the bike? The pressure of thinking, ‘If I quit this I’ll be a nobody.’ That’s the reflection I was having on the Race Across America, that now it’s OK. You’ll be fine. You gotta be normal now instead of killing yourself.” While she had won the Race Across America, she says she was berating herself for not breaking the record time. Long story short, says Leah, cycling wasn’t fun anymore. But she went back in for the win one more time, signing up for Race Across the West, which she won, but it was a grueling experience. “I thought, ‘Are you going to do this until you’re 80? You’re going to miss out on other things in life.’ It can’t always be about you in life. That’s when I put the brakes on and said, ‘It’s time to do something else.’” Today, at 46 years old, Leah Goldstein has been a world kickboxing champion, a member of the Israeli military and Israel’s undercover police unit, and a celebrated professional cyclist. She qualified for the 2004 Athens Olympics and has been offered roles in Asian kung fu movies. “Many people have theories on where my drive has come from,” Leah writes in her recently released memoir, No Limits. “Did my parents expect greatness from me? Is my intense need to win in my DNA, inherited from my grandparents’ survival skills? After all, my family tree has weaved its way through and survived concentration camps, communism, escapes, immigration, and a partridge in a pear tree. You name it; some close blood relative has probably faced it and somehow managed to thrive. Do I have some magical
“winning gene,” or have my parents pushed me to strive for seemingly impossible goals? It’s so much more complicated than that.” But after decades of pushing her body and mind to the limits, she’s entered a new phase of her life as a speaker and a memoirist. That’s not to say that her competitive fire has burned out — quite the contrary. Goldstein still competes in her age category in races across the nation — cycling, half and full marathons, and duathlons. Still, she says the high she gets from motivating people is greater than any she got from standing on a podium. “When I quit cycling and people started to hear my story, I started to be asked to speak, and the reaction that I got from other people… people coming up to me even two or three weeks later and saying, ‘You gave me hope. You inspired me.’ It was so satisfying, even helping one person, even if it’s out of 100. That high I got was almost better than anything I’ve ever done.” One of Leah’s regular speaking gigs is with a Canadian program for highrisk youth called Community Future. Once every nine weeks she goes and speaks with kids as they prepare for the professional world. And success, she says, isn’t the most important thing she talks about. “It’s all those struggles, those life failures that you’re going to face, and if you think you’re not going to then you’re kidding yourself, because life is tough. But when you get through those barriers, the sacrifice is worth it,” she says. “When you share success you’re only sharing the end of it. What about the struggle to get there, and that’s what those kids need to hear: ‘Hey, you know what? You know how many times you fell down, but you got back up,’ and that’s what they need to hear to motivate them.” Boulder Weekly

GRAYWATER MAY NO LONGER BE USED TO FLUSH TOILETS The Colorado State Plumbing Board is considering a change in the state’s plumbing code that would ban the use of graywater for indoor plumbing uses, including toilet flushing. Graywater is used non-wastewater that has not had contact with fecal matter and is currently able to be used for both flushing toilets and irrigation. Governor Hickenlooper signed House Bill 13-1044 into effect in 2013 and with it legalized the use of graywater for certain plumbing and agricultural uses. Currently, the State Plumbing Board is proposing to allow use of graywater only for outdoor irrigation and not toilet flushing. But proponents say using graywater for indoor plumbing creates savings in water, land, time and energy. “Graywater eases the burden on sewers and septic systems, reduces demand on water from aquifers, and lowers energy and chemicals required to treat wastewater,” U.S. Green Building Council Colorado Executive Director Patti Mason said in a statement. She added that, “In Colorado alone, graywater has the potential to replace 85,000 acre feet of water each year.” The board has not reached a decision about the code change and is seeking stakeholder feedback in regards to the issue. The State Plumbing Board will be holding a hearing with interested parties on Tuesday, Aug. 25 in Denver. — Matthew DuBois
WILD HORSE REMOVAL BEING FOUGHT BY ACTIVISTS

The Bureau of Land Management plans to relocate more than 160 wild horses in northwest Colorado starting in September, but legal actions could prevent or delay the removal. The Cloud Foundation, a Colorado-based nonprofit that works to preserve wild horses on public lands, has denounced the actions of the BLM and is considering litigation to prevent the removal. The group was already successful Wikimedia Commons in suing and blocking a removal of horses in the Western Slope in 2009. The BLM is taking efforts to control the wild horse population to prevent the overgrazing of public lands in a hope to maintain balanced resources for multiple species. In addition to the 167 proposed removals, the BLM is also planning on using long term fertility control on 125 horses in Colorado. The foundation claims that the removals and sterilizations are unnecessary and dangerous to the long-term health of the wild horse population of Colorado and that better methods of fertility control are available and not being used. “Safe and effective birth control for wild horses has been available for years but BLM has chosen to use it on only a token number of mares,” stated Ginger Kathrens, volunteer executive director of The Cloud Foundation. The BLM says that the population control is to best maintain the sustainability of resources for horses and other wildlife in the region. They also have space for the 167 horses they plan to remove, but have not specified where. The removal is scheduled from Sept. 9 to 25 and the fertility control has been ongoing since 2014 and is planned to be done by the end of September. — Matthew DuBois

Still, they were struck by the simplicity and dedication of the family at Ollin Farms. “It really is a family-run farm just like any classic Americana you’d think of … and it’s right here in Longmont,” Jessica’s husband Andy says. “It was beautiful when we walked through to see people in the rows actually on the ground inspecting the plants and doing it by hand. The time that they take with each plant, to me, was really impressive,” Jessica adds.
It is that connection to the agricultural history of Longmont, which society is beginning to embrace once again, that really draws viewers into the exhibit, says Durling. “Sometimes you have exhibitions and people walk in and say, ‘Thank you, that was nice,’” she concludes. “But people have an auditory response to this. They are just engaged with it.” The Firehouse Arts Center is hosting a variety of events around FRESH, including a short slide series presentation (Pecha Kucha) featuring both artists and farmers on Aug. 20 and a poetry night on Aug. 28. Both organizations are hosting a sold-out fundraiser on Aug. 22 with food from participating farms, as well as live entertainment by the artists and auctions of the artwork. Boulder Weekly

then repeat the next day.” And all of this work because neither woman can make a living simply being a pro cyclist. Jorgensen says it can cost, on average, about $6,000 per participant in a stage race — that includes entry fees, travel (including airfare if need be), housing, food and mechanics. Of the six members of the Pepper Palace team, two live outside of Colorado. To complicate matters this year, one of Pepper Palace’s sponsors fell through, leaving a $28,000 gap in the team’s season budget. Riders are still collecting salaries, but finding funding for entry fees and travel has been difficult. When these sorts of problems arise, many women are forced to pay out of pocket if they want to compete. To bridge the gap in their funding, Lowe WOMEN’S PRO CHALLENGE: and Jorgensen created a team specific verStage 1: 10: 45 a.m. Friday, Aug. 21, Breckenridge Time Trial. sion of the Runner Box called the Pepper Palace Box, filled with products provided by Stage 2: 11:35 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 22, Loveland to Fort Collins. their team sponsors, that anyone can purchase to help sponsor the team. Stage 3: 10:30 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 23, Golden Circuit It’s been slow-going with the Pepper Palace Boxes, says Lowe, but the team has reached out in any way they can for help. Recently, Taylor Phinney — the 25-year-old who stood at the top step of the podium in Steamboat Springs for the first stage of the men’s Pro Challenge on Monday — supported Pepper Palace by supplying signed cards for each Pepper Palace Box. “It has been [so difficult] to get sponsorship,” Jorgensen says. “I am coming from a business standpoint, and I understand that sponsors are only going to put their money into something they think they will get a return on. But it’s a catch22: if women aren’t even able to be out there showcasing a brand, how do you get the support? So these events are crucial for women’s cycling — The Pro Challenge, the Tour of California doing a women’s race tour. Even if the race is shorter, it’s a step in the right direction and sponsors can see that women can provide an entertainment level the same as men can. It allows sponsors to say, ‘Hey, women are also giving us visibility.’” Despite her positive attitude, Jorgensen says she’s unsure if the gap between male and female athletes will ever close. Her main goal is to fight for a living wage. “I don’t have to tell you that $22,000 isn’t enough to live on,” she says. “If we can get women to a viable living, even if it’s not luxury… I don’t think any of us are asking for a million dollar paycheck. I think we all just hope it gets to a place that we can support ourselves in a way that’s even viable.” To support Pepper Palace Pro Cycling Team in the rest of their season, visit www. pepperscycling.com/#!shop--cart/c1ukq.

t’s that time of year again. The roads are packed, the lines at the sandwich shops quadruple, electrical outlets at Starbucks become a scarce commodity and Boulder is flooded with 30,000 hungry young minds ready to change the world. School is back in session, and so is, thankfully, the International Film Series (IFS). Touted as Boulder’s first art-house series, IFS has been locally programmed since 1941 and is responsible for providing the Boulder community with monumental works of cinema as well as the talent behind them. Special effects master, Ray Harryhausen, documentarian Albert Maysles and directors, Werner Herzog, John Cameron Mitchell and Ramin Bahrani have all stopped by to give moviegoers something more than the usual fare. And the tradition continues with IFS’s 2015 fall line-up. IFS’s first week of programming commences Sept. 15 and includes four programs that are free of charge. University of Colorado Boulder faculty and filmmaker, Tom Shadyac, opens the series with a pick of his choice, yet to be revealed, but something that Boulder audiences are sure to connect with. The rest of opening week is devoted to CU’s grand challenge — Our Space, Our Future — in conjunction with the Aerospace Engineering Department. These space-themed movies include The American Astronaut and Small Star Seminar, both with filmmaker and musician, Cory McAbee, in attendance (Sept. 18 and 19). IFS programmer, Pablo Kjølseth, eagerly tells Boulder Weekly that the work in progress, Small Star Boulder Weekly

Seminar, will be, “a fantastic roadshow documentary” of McAbee performing his soloalbum as a singing representative of the “Small Star Corporation.” The evening will be taped and included with other Small Star Seminars that McAbee is hosting around the country for the final documentary that Kjølseth guarantees “will play Sundance 2017.” Screening six days a week (except on CU Buff home games) for ten weeks, Kjølseth has put together another exemplary slate of movies and shorts. Of the 52 programs, Kjølseth zeroes in on We Come As Friends, playing Nov. 10. “Jaw dropping,” Kjølseth says about Hubert Sauper’s intimate and horrific documentary about see IFS Page 30

colonialism impact on Southern Sudan. Sauper’s previous documentary, Darwin’s Nightmare, was nominated for an Oscar in 2004, but We Come As Friends is a bold step forward. “[We Come As Friends] makes [Darwin’s Nightmare] look like The Wizard of Oz,” Kjølseth says. And he’s not wrong. We Come As Friends is an unbelievable cinematic feat, one that Sauper achieves by building his own plane and taking small cameras to remote portions of the country to capture images that no one else thought to grab. It’s a troubling movie, one that rattles whatever notion moviegoers might have about the world we live in and how we live in it. It’s not a crowd pleaser, but Kjølseth is screening We Come As Friends regardless. “I want to support the guy, even if it doesn’t make any money.” While We Come As Friends is one of several films that Kjølseth is championing, he’s also programming heavyhitters from this year’s art-houses: A Hard Day (Sept. 30), A Poem is a Naked Person (Oct. 11) and Tangerine (Oct. 21); alongside documentaries: Cartel Land (Sept. 22), Stray Dog (Oct. 27) and Welcome to Leith (Nov. 17); and imports: Rebels of the Neon God (Oct. 14), Horse Money (Nov. 4) and The Assassin (Nov. 11). But movies aren’t the only thing IFS brings to the table, and the fall line-up sees the return of the Flatirons Food Film Festival. Now in its third season, the Flatirons Food Film Festival takes over IFS from Oct. 23–25 with its sights on the gastronomic senses. “It’s bigger and better than ever. We’re actually doing some things we’ve never done,” festival director Julia Joun says. “Including, bringing in some speakers — most of them are fairly well known — and actually screening
some local films.” The Flatirons Food Film Festival incorporates movies about food with food events for cinematic and culinary delights. One evening in particular, Oct. 24, places two documentaries side-by-side — The Search of General Tso and Deli Man — to highlight popular dishes in a historical context. “That’s going to be a really fun night,” Joun says. “It’s going to be two really entertaining documentaries, that really are a part of mainstream American food life — which is Chinese American food and Jewish delicatessen kind of cuisine — [that] have a lot to do with the immigrant history of this country.” Another feature for this semester’s IFS season comes in seemingly small packages. Longtime friend and former Northwest Film Forum programmer, Adam Sekuler, returns to Boulder to put together a series of short films on different subject matters for IFS. “The shorts program,” Sekuler says, “is focused around thematic content and kind of genre work. “All the programs are pretty broad, so the content of them, in terms of the styles and aesthetics of the films are going to ... paint a broad picture of what people do with these themes,” Sekuler explains. “There’s a mix of experimental work, and narrative work, and documentary work and some animation.” Aptly titled, The Weatherman Shorts Program, this series is designed to take a barometric reading of cinema past, present and future. The first program screens on Sept. 20 and ties into CU’s Our Space, Our Future. “The first program is looking at space, space travel, outer space,” Sekuler says. “I called it ‘The Space Race.’ “The second programs is ... a horror Boulder Weekly

tific, historical, political way. But to have that discussion through the prism of this fiction book is a completely different experience and very valuable as well.” Fiction also allows for a conversation about writing and the author’s approach. “Often, the author has spent a long time either studying a specific subject or something, so they have a certain amount of expertise, or they’re coming at it at a certain angle that might be different than an academic in that particular discipline,” Kashkashian says. “But I also do want to talk about fiction in terms of how did you decide to write a novel and how did you decide to tell the novel in this way, or why are you using this language? “I want to do both: what is the subject, what do you know about the subject, how does it relate to the world today, but also, you are an artist, and why are you telling the story in this way?” Conran says the approach is also great for people who want to break out of their genres and read something unfamiliar. And the club’s gotten good response from listeners. “I got a phone call from a listener after our last show who was like, ‘OK, you’ve done it to me. I gave up reading fiction five years ago ... but you guys have got me reading fiction again. So thanks very much,’” she says. “It was a really nice indication that, first of all,

we’re engaging with the listeners. And there’s a lot to talk about around the subject matter, we’re not just talking about this fiction story. There’s so much behind it and so much to really engage with. It’s introducing audiences to fiction in a way that they can really get their teeth into.” The real effectiveness of the program stems from the community aspect that links people together with a common goal. Like any book club, people from various backgrounds get together to dissect their interpretations of the work. “You get something different out of it when you hear other people in discussion,” Conran says. “The idea that everyone else is reading along with you, that’s why it’s so great for a community radio station. It taps into the community enjoyment of doing something collectively.” “Plus, you tend to read more carefully when you know you’re going to discuss the book,” Kashkashian adds. “And I think once you get to the group, people come with all their different life experiences and they bring something different to the reading than maybe you brought. I do find usually I appreciate the book more after the book club discussion than maybe I did on my own.” The next selection for the KGNU book club is Laura Pritchett’s Red Lightning, with a show on Sept. 24.

Pole dancing gets a bad rap, but think gymnasts on a vertical bar, and then you’ll understand. For the third consecutive year, the Boulder Theater will host the Colorado Pole Championship, where a collection of the region’s best pole dancers gather together to battle for a chance to qualify for the North American Pole Championship Series. Unlike settings where you might usually expect to find a pole dancer, this competition has a dress code and does not allow nudity. This all-ages event will feature pole artists, both male and female, performing their acrobatic feats of balance and strength from the pole. — Sam Routhier

Made up of five improv players, this troupe of comedy veterans creates scenarios out of thin air.

American Life in Poetry: Column 537 by Anya Krugovoy Silver
2907 2907 55th 55TH street
STREET
The dryer, uniform and squat as a biscuit tin, came to life and turned on me its insect eye. My t-shirts and underwear crackled and leapt. I was a tourist there; I didn’t speak the language. My shoulders covered themselves up in churches, my tongue soothed its burn with slices of pickle. More I don’t remember: only, weekends now when I stand in the kitchen, sorting sweat pants and pairing socks, I remember the afternoon I did my laundry in Budapest, where the sidewalks bloomed with embroidered linen, where money wasn’t permitted to leave the country. When I close my eyes, I recall that spinning, then a woman, with nothing else to sell, pressing wilted flowers in my hands.

P
resumably, a reboot or remake is done to capitalize on the good will and brand recognition of an intellectual property. Do fanboys of the 1960s TV show The Man From U.N.C.L.E. exist? Does anyone remember anything about it, other than it sporting a weird acronym for no good reason? “You know what’ll put fear into the hearts of evildoers? A spy network named after their dad’s brother!” What’s surprising isn’t just the de-mothballing of a concept no one was missing; it’s that The Man From U.N.C.L.E. is somehow pretty darn good. Written by a corporate hive-mind but clearly directed by Guy Ritchie, TMFU opens with Napoleon Solo (Henry Cavill) attempting to spring car mechanic and daughter of a Nazi-aiding bomb builder, Gaby (Alicia Vikander), from the wrong side of the Berlin Wall in the 1960s. They are pursued by Ilya Kuryakin (Armie Hammer), a Russian spy possessed of immense strength who is prone to rage strokes. No sooner do Solo and Gaby escape than they find themselves required to work with Ilya. You see, Gaby’s dad has cracked the code for easily enriching uranium and plans to sell it to Nazis. None of the eleventy billion writers could come up with a believable reason this operation This surprisingly slick spy flick features Henry had to be a joint one between the Cavill (Man of Steel) and Armie Hammer (The United States and Russia, but Lone Ranger) as American and Russian spies, respectively, who must work together to prevent who cares. The film’s best nuclear war. moments are Cavill’s cowboy and Hammer’s Russkie robot mocking one another while Vikander quietly keeps her eyes on the prize. The prize, in this case, being the bomb that femme fatale Victoria Vinciguerra (Elizabeth Debicki) is hawking. Oh, and Hugh Grant shows up to blink a lot. Let’s work backwards from the biggest flaw: TMFU is about a half-hour too bloated. It’s not that the running time is inappropriate, it’s that this is supposed to be a breathless, jazzy romp. Ritchie forgets this sometimes, shoehorning in admittedly awesome scenes that simply don’t belong. For example, how does a stylish, flirty spy movie contain one of the more ooky torture sequences, complete with a Nazi gleefully recounting concentration camp stories with a scrapbook? Wrong film, Guy, even if the scene itself works in isolation. But enough about what’s wrong, let’s talk about why TMFU deserves your love. This should be a breakout turn for Cavill, the Brit who currently holds the Superman mantle. His suave superspy is a breezy American 007, as comfortable in a fistfight as he is discussing high fashion. Hammer’s Ilya is endearingly blunt and delightfully and stereotypically Russian. Remember, this isn’t reality, this is Cold War fantasy filtered through a nostalgia no one could have expected back when nuclear winter was coming. Ritchie’s hyper-stylized action fuses Saul Bass imagery with live-action. And the film is jam-packed with gleeful little moments, like Ilya and Solo having a pissing contest over whether Gaby’s belt must match her dress. TMFU seems to be completely absent of any buzz, but it definitely deserves it. So let this be the first you hear: buzz, buzz, go see it. This review first appeared in The Reader of Omaha, Nebraska.

film Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet. Opens Aug. 21. Landmark Theatres Chez Artiste, 2800 S. Colorado Blvd., Denver, 303352-1992. Tickets start at $8.50, landmarktheatres.com.
O
riginally published in 1923, The Prophet by Lebanese-American author Kahlil Gibran, is one of the most successful and popular books of poetry every produced. Selling more than 100 million copies in more than 40 languages, The Prophet is a collection of 26 illustrated poems that offer advice “On Love,” “On Marriage,” “On Family,” etc., in an effortless and disarming manner. Its words have permeated and persisted in society (“Love one another but make not a bond of love”), and The Prophet is passed around and dispersed as “the counterculture Bible.” If sales, longevity and diversity were any indication, then a cinematic adaption of The Prophet ought to be gangbusters. That must have been the thinking when writer/director Roger Allers (director of The Lion King) and producer Salma Hayek (sporting her new hyphenated surname Hayek-Pinault — husband François Pinault is an executive producer) set to turn Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet into an animated family feature. They assembled an impressive pedigree of animators and vocal talents to help on their passion project, but the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry. Especially when commerce is at stake. Allers trims Gibran’s original 26 poems down to eight segments, each directed and designed by a different animator — “On Freedom,” Michal Socha; “On Children,” Nina Paley; “On Marriage,” Joann Sfar; “On Work,” Joan Gratz; “On Eating & Drinking,” Bill Plympton; “On Love,” Tomm Moore; “On Good & Evil,” Mohammed Saeed Harib; “On Death,” Paul and Gaëtan Brizzi. It weaves them through a narrative set on a seaside Mediterranean village surrounding the poet, Mustafa (voiced by Liam Neeson), the woman who cleans his house, Kamila (Hayek), and her rambunctious daughter, Almitra (Quvenzhané Wallis), who constantly manages to find, and sometimes create, trouble. Mustafa takes a liking to Almitra and bestows upon her the wisdom of his poems. Here is where The Prophet soars, with the individual animators breaking free of convention to explore the themes and textures of Gibran’s poetry. While the animation of the framing device seems clunky and conventional, it is clearly designed for the children in the audience. It slyly lures them into the story, before plopping them inside Mustafa’s poems, where complex ideas are matched with equally complex and charged images. For children, this might work. For adults, the narrative is so cumbersome that it holds the movie back from creating the kind of lasting impression Gibran’s book has held for the past 90 years. Animation is a remarkable medium to work in, for it allows the artists to conceive of possibilities beyond the plausible. It is on display most strongly in Plympton and Socha’s pieces, but all of the segments are reminders that the style and scope of animation is boundless. However, conventionality is a crutch too heavily leaned on and Kahil Gibran’s The Prophet comes off as a tale of two movies. It’s a shame that the entire movie couldn’t embrace the former. What it would have sacrificed in marketability, it would have gained in artistry tenfold.

ut of the disemboweled corpse of a failed Chili’s emerged the shiny new Murphy’s Tap House in Louisville earlier this month. And though there are definite similarities in the skeletal structure of the two restaurants, Murphy’s Tap House has done enough in its remodel to differentiate itself from the fast casual chain both in the quality and diversity of the menu, as well as the slightly more authentic vibe within the walls of the building. The Tap House is the third Murphy’s foray into Boulder County. It’s a restaurant I’m quite familiar with as their South Boulder outpost is directly across the street from the Boulder Weekly office. Because of that deep familiarity, I regarded the menu at the Tap House, which is similar (if not identical) to the other Murphy’s locations, as I would an old, warm sweater — it’s comfortable, mine and I could pretend to read Hemingway in it with ESPN on in the background. Rolling with it, I ordered a pumpkin ale that was on tap — the Tap House, befitting its name, has more than two dozen rotating beers, mostly local, but also a lot of craft beers from elsewhere in the U.S. The pumpkin ale was the first of the season. Perhaps it was a little early for some people; I know folks get fussy about when you can start enjoying seasonal beverage flavors like pumpkin and peppermint. But, for me, seasonal drinks, like the seasons from which they were

Murphy’s Tap House brings its menu and dozens of local taps to Louisville by Matt Cortina born, are not about calendar dates, but are about mindsets. And in Murphy’s Tap House, that warm sweater of a restaurant, pumpkin ale worked. Although the menu is mostly the same as its Boulder locations, there are some new items that I was eager to try: the salmon BLTA, Carolina barbecue wings and the Asian crab cakes. The salmon sandwich was built on a crusty, long white roll. The salmon was cooked medium well, so it was light pink and had all that fishiness and moistness removed. If that’s not your thing, you can get the salmon cooked to order. The sandwich is piled with bacon, lettuce, tomato and avocado (as the acronym requires), and

it makes for a light but substantial meal. It came alongside one of Murphy’s everchanging soups, this time a southwest black bean. The Asian crab cakes were Murphy’s Tap pretty darn good. House 527 S. McCaslin Blvd., It was a lot less Louisville sloppy than a typical crab cake, but still had just enough moisture to make eating it enjoyable. What made it Asian were the cilantro, red jalapeno, ginger and mango chutney. I don’t know if it would’ve received dual citizenship with those additions, but they did pair well with the crabmeat. The hot wings were a perfect match for the Tap House atmosphere. That is, they were good and so now there’s a go-to food item here if you stop in for happy hour or want to watch a game sometime. They weren’t coated in breading or any thick sauce, so you got the full experience of crispy chicken skin with moist chicken meat and a thin, powerful sauce. The sauce was mild to medium in heat, and had a wonderful vinegar tang. There was also an old staple of Murphy’s on the table: the bison and pork meatloaf. It was a little tougher than what you might expect of meatloaf, and the charred grill marks on top make you wonder if its meatloaf at all. After a few bites with the rich brown gravy and whipped potatoes, however, alchemy occurs in your mouth and makes for a good bite.

Farmageddon How locavores will destroy the world by Ari LeVaux
I
n the last 20 years, the amount of local foods consumed in the American diet has tripled, according to USDA, and now comprises two percent of food consumed in the U.S. As with anything that’s popular, some have seen fit to tear it down. Why do they do this? Do they find the locavores to be annoying, or do they seriously believe, as many argue, that local food enthusiasts pose a threat to the planet? Thanks to the farm-to-table movement, menus have become dense with information, as chefs detail the life histories of every ingredient in every dish. This focus comes increasingly at the expense of the finished product, according to food critic Corby Kummer in Vanity Fair. While Kummer has nothing against locally-sourced foods — he’s a fan, in fact — he’s becoming weary of the “farmwashing” craze. He mentions a talented Silicon Valley chef, David Kinch, as an example of how less can be more. Kinch works closely with a local farm for much of his produce, but doesn’t gloat about it in the menu. “You could appreciate the fact that many of the ingredients came from 13 miles down the road, or not. But you didn’t need to listen to a word about the farmer, or how his pigs went to Montessori school. That’s what the future of farm-to-table should be: food that speaks for itself without having to tell you where it comes from,” Kummer writes. A darker side of the exhausting menu trend was recently exposed in San Diego Magazine, which detailed cases of straight-up menu fraud. “Sometimes it can be very blatant,” Tom Chino of the legendary Chino Farms told the magazine. “Chefs

Some people argue that eating locally actually does more economic and environmental harm than importing food from around the world.
will come look [at what we’re selling that day], write down notes, leave without buying anything, and then say they’re serving our food at their restaurants.” Meanwhile, another crop of opportunists is sprouting like weeds to jump on the local foods bandwagon in a much different way: by trying to tear it down. They’re portraying locavores as misguided at best, but to the extent that the doctrine might continue to spread, as actual threats to society. In the book The Locavore’s Dilemma: In Praise of the 10,000-mile Diet, economists Pierre Desrochers and Hiroko Shimizu argue that if everyone focused on local foods, agriculture would do more damage to the environment than it already does. Their case rests on a widely circulated statistic that many locavores might not want to hear: that transportation of food accounts for about five percent of food-related carbon emissions, while production can create a lot more.
Thus, local foods can have a larger carbon footprint than imported foods, if the imports were grown in regions where they can be coaxed from the soil with less energy. Greenhouse tomatoes in the UK, for example, have been shown to produce three times the greenhouse gas emissions as tomatoes imported from Spain. The well-rounded locavore would do well to consider such nuance. But at the same time, many things about this book make it seem more opportunistic than sincere. In an interview with Grist, Desrochers admitted to writing the book, primarily, “to save my marriage,” as opposed to saving, say, the world. The impetus came, Desrochers recounted, when a visiting locavore gave a lecture in which he called Japan a parasitic society because it imports so much see FARMAGEDDON Page 52

food. “My wife was born and raised in Tokyo. She made me promise that I would do something about it.” The book’s intro bluntly states the authors’ objective: To, “slaughter as many sacred cows in the food activists’ intellectual herd as we could.” Similar arguments have been made repeatedly in recent years. Stephen Budiansky did so in a 2010 New York Times editorial “Math Lessons for Locavores,” as have the books Just Food, An Economist Gets Lunch and Food Police. These arguments, based on economic concepts like efficiency, comparative advantage and the economics of scale, assume that all advantages and disadvantages of a given food chain can be accounted for. But can they? It’s often pointed out that local food is more expensive than imported factory farmed foods. Cheaper food leaves more money in the wallets of consumers to spend elsewhere, goes the logic. But when L.A. Times writer Isabella Alsobrook tried a 100-mile diet, she found that while the produce indeed cost more, she actually saved money overall, because by avoiding non-local foods she also avoided processed foods. She had to cook more from scratch, with fresh, local ingredients and saved money. And few would argue this isn’t a healthier way to eat. Taken to their logical extremes, the economics-based arguments would label most gardens as inefficient. And most gardeners would agree that it would be more efficient, and even cheaper, to spend a few extra hours at work and buy all their food than spending that time crawling through the dirt. But they choose to garden just the same. Quality of life is hard to quantify. A recent article by two economics professors, Anita Dancs and Helen Sharber, takes the efficiency arguments to task in the economists’ own language. While California can grow a lot of produce, they point out, the economic calculations don’t account for the state’s dwindling aquifer. Florida may grow cheap tomatoes, but the calculations don’t account for the near-slavery conditions in which the workers toil. Power imbalances, they note, aren’t incorporated into the 10,000-mile diet’s calculus. “Looking through the conceptual lens of power relations — between agribusiness and contract farmers, farm owners and farmworkers, food corporations and low-income consumers, the government and immigrant workers — gives us a clearer picture of who determines what costs and benefits are created in the food system and how these costs and benefits are distributed. Paying attention to power allows for the possibility that the falling food prices attributed to comparative advantage and economies of scale may be related, instead, to the ability of the powerful to offload social and environmental costs onto the relatively powerless.” “I can’t believe that people are trying to argue that communities feeding themselves is a bad thing,” said Josh Slotnick, a farmer in Missoula, Montana, when I confronted him with the efficiency arguments. He believes that unlike the 10,00mile diet, the 100-mile diet is empowering to local producers, workers, consumers and the communities they share. “Growing food in just a few places and shipping it around the world from there doesn’t sound like efficiency. It sounds like slavery.” Slotnick acknowledges that some foods, like wheat, oranges or mangoes, can only be grown in certain regions. And he sees nothing wrong with shipping such foods to wherever they are needed. “But everyone should be growing vegetables. Everywhere.” Eating locally, he argues, makes you a better citizen. “Food is a medium for creating culture. It’s a medium for people falling in love with their places. And when people love where they live, all kinds of great behavior follows, very little of which is economically rational. It’s a red herring to say that because the industrial food system is so efficient and its carbon footprint is so small that it’s a good thing. Agribusiness isn’t about making food and places better. It will make us better consumers, but not better people, or better citizens.” Maybe the farmers’ market is not as efficient a source of food as would be a series of distant monocultures, but it’s a source of community and entertainment. And even some economists will concede the point that local food, harvested at the peak of ripeness, will taste better. In Math Lessons for Locavores, Stephen Budiansky admitted that there are “pleasures and advantages to the palate and the spirit of eating what’s local, fresh and in season.” Anyone who’s raised chickens will surely concede it would be more efficient to buy eggs at the store. But try telling that to my two year-old, whose first words in the morning are “get some eggs,” as he stumbles toward the coop in his sagging diaper. Should I tell him how inefficient that idea is? I’ll let you try to do that, if it’s really so important to you. But I fail to see how he, or his locavore brethren, are harming anyone. Boulder Weekly
drink Over a barrel
Barrel-aged beers are more popular than ever. But what happens when barrel supply can’t meet demand?
UPCOMING SHOWS THURS. AUGUST 20 - 9PM

w/ THE BOULDER SWING COLLECTIVE
S
am Green of Boulder Beer would love to make sure everyone got to taste the brewery’s wine barrel-aged beers, Xena Warrior Princess and Patchouka Sunrise. He really would. But it’s just not that easy anymore. “Those were extremely popular when we released them at the [Great American Beer Festival],” says Green. “I was hoping to do that again, but when I called these wineries they laughed in my face. These days, the whole game has changed.” In the time before craft brewing became a national phenomenon, aging barrels were in ready supply. BarrelWikimedia Commons aged beers were specialty items ordered by entrenched snobs or showcased at beer competitions. But as flavorful brews become the norm, the demand for barrel-aged beers has begun to surpass the availability of the proper aging barrels, leaving breweries — and drinkers — high and dry. “We’re totally at the mercy of these producers,” says Noah Steingraeber, sales manager at Rocky Mountain Barrel Company. A distributor of barrels across the globe — Noah lists countries as far as Peru and New Zealand — Rocky Mountain provides aging casks to most of Colorado’s brewA national barrel shortage threatens to stifle eries. But though his company is a brewer creativity in Colorado. major player, Steingraeber makes it clear that every demon has his master. “It’s not like I can call them and say, ‘Hey, I need 500 bourbon barrels.’ They’d say, ‘Yeah, you and everyone else.’” One issue Noah brings up in regards to the barrel shortage is the previouslyestablished relationships in certain parts of the world that were trading barrels for aging long before craft beer exploded in America. “We’re battling with Scotland, who use all ex-American bourbon casks for their scotch production. They have huge pull in the market.” Another is that while Colorado is a massive craft beer-consuming state, it has to deal with outside sources to get its barrels. “It’s funny because you go out to the U.K. and they have plenty of scotch barrels. If you go to Kentucky, they have plenty of bourbon. In California, there’s no shortage of wine barrels. In Colorado, there’s not much of a local anything. There are some great distilleries here, but they don’t release barrels in that kind of bulk.” An interesting symptom of the barrel shortage is increased experimentation among breweries. While bourbon and red wine barrels are the most popular for aging beer, breweries have begun branching out, trying to be different and using what’s available. Noah tells me he’s in the process of trying to get plum wine barrels from Japan and Tokay barrels from Hungary. Michael Memsic, co-founder and CEO of Sanitas Brewing Co., is searching for a bitters barrel when we speak. “It’s more that the guys at Rocky Mountain contact me and say, ‘Hey, we have a port barrel!’” says Memsic. “Selling these beers at bars and restaurants is a goal of ours long-term, but the demand for these beers are far higher than we can put up with.” One thing’s for certain: as barrel-aged beers continue to grow in popularity, the barrels in which to make them will become even more rare… and expensive. “The price point is an issue,” says Noah. “People will contact me about a barrel, and they’ll say, ‘Woah, I paid half that last year!’ And I have to say, ‘Yeah… welcome to this year.’” Boulder Weekly

SEPT. 23-OCT. 22: You’d probably prefer to Rob Brezsny’s EXPANDED WEEKLY AUDIO “The greatest and most stay in the romantic, careHOROSCOPES and DAILY TEXT MESSAGE important problems of life free state of mind. But HOROSCOPES. The audio horoscopes are all in a certain sense from what I can tell, you’re are also available by phone at 1-877insoluble,” said psycholoripe for a new phase of 873-4888 or 1-900-950-7700. gist Carl Jung. “They can your long-term cycle. never be solved, but only Your freestyle rambles and outgrown.” I subscribe to jaunty adventures should that model of dealing with dilemmas, and I hope you will now make way for careful introspection and thoughtful consider it, too — especially in light of the fact that from adjustments. Instead of restless star-gazing, I suggest patient now until July 2016 you will have more power than ever earth-gazing. Despite how it may initially appear, it’s not a before to outgrow two of your biggest problems. I don’t comedown. In fact, I see it as an unusual reward that will guarantee that you will transcend them completely, but satisfy you in unexpected ways. I’m confident you can render them at least 60 percent less pressing, less imposing and less restricting. And 80 percent TAURUS is quite possible. APRIL 20-MAY 20:
In accordance with the current astrological omens, I recommend the following activities: Sing a love song at least once a day. Seek a message from an ancestor in a reverie or dream. Revisit your three favorite childhood memories. Give a gift or blessing to the wildest part of you. Swim naked in a river, stream or lake. Change something about your home to make it more sacred and mysterious. Obtain a symbolic object or work of art that stimulates your courage to be true to yourself. Find relaxation and renewal in the deep darkness. Ruminate in unbridled detail about how you will someday fulfill a daring fantasy.
GEMINI
MAY 21-JUNE 20:
The ancient Greek epic poem the Iliad is one of the foundation works of Western literature. Written in the eighth century BCE, it tells the story of the ten-year-long Trojan War. The cause of the conflict was the kidnap of Helen of Troy, reputed to be the world’s most beautiful woman. And yet nowhere in the Iliad is there a description of Helen’s beauty. We hear no details about why she deserves to be at the center of the legendary saga. Don’t be like the Iliad in the coming weeks, Gemini. Know everything you can about the goal at the center of your life. Be very clear and specific and precise about what you’re fighting for and working towards.
CANCER
JUNE 21-JULY 22:
The comedian puppets known as the Muppets have made eight movies. In The Great Muppet Caper, the muppets Kermit and Fozzie play brothers, even though one is a green frog and the other a brown bear. At one point in the story, we see a photo of their father, who has the coloring and eyes of Kermit, but a bear-like face. I bring up their unexpected relationship, Cancerian, because I suspect that a similar anomaly might be coming your way: a bond with a seemingly improbable ally. To prepare, stretch your ideas about what influences you might want to connect with.
LEO
JULY 23-AUG. 22:
English author Barbara Cartland published her first novel at age 21. By the time she died 77 years later, she had written more than 700 other books. Some sources say she sold 750 million copies, while others put the estimate at two billion. In 1983 alone, she churned out 23 novels. I foresee a Barbara Cartland-type period for you in the coming months, Leo. Between now and your birthday in 2016, I expect you to be as fruitful in your own field as you have ever been. And here’s the weird thing: One of the secrets of your productivity will be an enhanced ability to chill out. “Relaxed intensity” will be your calming battle cry.
VIRGO
AUG. 23-SEPT. 22:
‘’On or about December 1910, human character changed,’’ wrote English author Virginia Woolf in 1924. What prompted her to draw that conclusion? The rapidly increasing availability of electricity, cars and indoor plumbing? The rise of the women’s suffrage movement? Labor unrest and the death of the King? The growing prominence of experimental art by Cezanne, Gauguin, Matisse and Picasso? The answer might be all of the above, plus the beginning of a breakdown in the British class system. Inspired by the current astrological omens, I’ll borrow her brash spirit and make a new prediction: During the last 19 weeks of 2015, the destiny of the Virgo tribe will undergo a fundamental shift. Ten years from now, I bet you will look back at this time and say, “That was when everything got realigned, redeemed and renewed.”
Boulder Weekly
SCORPIO
OCT. 23-NOV. 21:
Hundreds of years ago, Hawaiians celebrated an annual holiday called Makahiki. It began in early November and lasted four months. No one worked very much for the duration. There were nonstop feasts and games and religious ceremonies. Community-building was a featured theme, and one taboo was strictly enforced: no war or bloodshed. I encourage you Scorpios to enjoy a similar break from your daily fuss. Now is an especially propitious time to ban conflict, contempt, revenge and sabotage as you cultivate solidarity in the groups that are important for your future. You may not be able to make your own personal Makahiki last for four months, but could you at least manage three weeks?
SAGITTARIUS NOV. 22-DEC. 21:
Located in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the Museum of Failed Products is a warehouse full of consumer goods that companies created but no one wanted to buy. It includes caffeinated beer, yogurt shampoo, fortune cookies for dogs and breath mints that resemble vials of crack cocaine. The most frequent visitors to the museum are executives seeking to educate themselves about what errors to avoid in their own companies’ future product development. I encourage you to be inspired by this place, Sagittarius. Take an inventory of the wrong turns you’ve made in the past. Use what you learn to create a revised master plan.
CAPRICORN
DEC. 22-JAN. 19:
“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.” Virtually all of us have been guilty of embodying that well-worn adage. And according to my analysis of the astrological omens, quite a few of you Capricorns are currently embroiled in this behavior pattern. But I am happy to report that the coming weeks will be a favorable time to quit your insanity cold turkey. In fact, the actions you take to escape this bad habit could empower you to be done with it forever. Are you ready to make a heroic effort? Here’s a good way to begin: Undo your perverse attraction to the stressful provocation that has such a seductive hold on your imagination.
AQUARIUS
JAN. 20-FEB. 18:
“Everything I’ve ever let go of has claw marks on it,” confessed the late, great author David Foster Wallace. Does that describe your experience, too? If so, events in the coming months will help you break the pattern. More than at any other time in the last ten years, you will have the power to liberate yourself through surrender. You will understand how to release yourself from overwrought attachment through love and grace rather than through stress and force.
PISCES
FEB. 19-MARCH 20:
“Most people love in order to lose themselves,” wrote Hermann Hesse in his novel Demian. But there are a few, he implied, who actually find themselves through love. In the coming months, Pisces, you are more likely to be one of those rare ones. In fact, I don’t think it will even be possible for you to use love as a crutch. You won’t allow it to sap your power or make you forget who you are. That’s good news, right? Here’s the caveat: You must be ready and willing to discover much more about the true nature of your deepest desires — some of which may be hidden from you right now.

Dear Dan: My boyfriend of six months tied me up for the first time a month ago. He didn’t know what he was doing, and I didn’t get turned on because it hurt. I got him two sessions with a professional bondage top as a gift. I was the “model,” and I was very turned on as the instructor walked my boyfriend through safe bondage techniques and positions. The guy was attractive, but not as attractive as my boyfriend. At one point I shuddered, and my boyfriend is convinced I had an orgasm. He says I cheated right in front of him, and now he wants to dump me. What do I do? — Helplessly Explaining My Predicament Dear HEMP: Call that attractive instructor, HEMP, and tell him you’re single now so you’ll be coming to that second session alone. Dear Dan: My boyfriend of three years and I have an ongoing problem. His libido is much higher than mine, and at one point I wasn’t making enough of an effort to meet him in the middle. But now we have great sex on average four or five times per week, and I initiate about a third of that. (If it were completely up to him, we’d probably have sex one or two times a day.) This past week, I’ve been working crazy shifts for a work event — 14-hour days with a 1.5-hour commute each way. I told

him that I very likely would not have the energy to have sex. But when I got home the other day, knowing that I had to get up and leave again in less than seven hours, he initiated sex and I refused. I was too tired. He got very upset. Whenever I say no, he seems to automatically categorize my refusal as evidence of laziness or selfishness. I’m not sure what to do at this point. I really want to make this work. — Working Hard And Tired
can’t be his human masturbatory aid, and stop feeling guilty about having sex “only” four or five times per week.
Dear WHAT: Your boyfriend is inconsiderate — in the most literal sense of the word. He has failed to take into consideration that sex five times a week is a lot of sex, objectively speaking, particularly in a long-term relationship. And your boyfriend failed — utterly failed — to take into consideration your current crushing workload when he attempted to initiate sex after you had worked/commuted for 17 hours and had to get up in seven hours and do it all over again. I suggest you get your boyfriend a Fleshlight, WHAT, for those moments when you
Dear WET: There are only two reasons your boyfriend would be making jokes about your bed-wetting problem: He is trying to be nice (he mistakenly believes these jokes put you at ease; he’s trying to make you feel less self-conscious, not more; he wants to make the bed-wetting seem like no big deal, i.e., something you two can laugh off together) or he is a giant asshole (he knows you’re sensitive about it and makes these jokes anyway because HE’S AN ASSHOLE; he makes jokes expressly to demean you because HE’S AN ASSHOLE; he is intentionally
Dear Dan: I’m a bed wetter and am super embarrassed about it. My boyfriend knows, and I know he doesn’t mean to hurt me, but he makes jokes about it. He even once saw me wet myself and made a joke. I know I should say something, but I’m afraid to. — Wants Emotional Tenderness
shredding your self-esteem so that (1) you’ll think that no one else would ever want you and (2) you’ll settle for this guy even though HE’S AN ASSHOLE). There’s just one way to figure out whether he’s a nice doofus who’s accidentally hurting you or a giant asshole who actually does mean to hurt you: USE YOUR WORDS. Tell him the jokes hurt your feelings — no smile, no ambiguity, no gloss — and then see what happens. If he knocks it off, WET, he was a nice doofus and the relationship may be salvageable. If he keeps it up, if the jokes don’t stop, he’s a giant asshole and he actually does mean to hurt you and the relationship isn’t worth salvaging. (Please bear this in mind: An asshole might claim to be a nice doofus — he’ll tell you he was just trying to make you feel better about the bed-wetting thing with humor — but if the jokes don’t stop… he’s not a nice doofus. He’s a giant asshole.) The reason you’re afraid to say something is that you don’t want to lose him. But you need to flip that on its head: If your boyfriend is a giant asshole — even if he’s just a medium asshole — you should be in a big fucking hurry to lose him. Say something.

A sane, sensible approach to public cannabis consumption
O
ne of the conundrums surrounding the implementation of Amendment 64 is that while you can buy marijuana in Colorado, there aren’t many places where you can legally use it in a social setting. Citizens are pretty much limited to their homes or a friend’s house or backyard. For a tourist, it’s even more vexing: you’re often stuck with using it in your hotel room, not the most attractive place to enjoy the benefits of either cannabis or Colorado. Mason Tvert of the Marijuana Policy Project and attorney Brian Vicente are spearheading a proposal that would allow marijuana usage in public places in Denver. It adheres strictly to the spirit of Amendment 64, which makes the Campaign for Limited Social Use a measure that other municipalities and cannabis users should be watching closely. Though 64 is intended to treat marijuana like alcohol, in this case, the state has fallen short. There are few places that allow the more than 700,000 admitted marijuana users in the state to gather with friends over a vaporizer as you might over a craft beer or cup of coffee. Police aren’t seeing significant problems associated with marijuana, but around the state, and especially in Denver, hundreds of public consumption citations are issued, and still it’s not unusual to smell cannabis while walking on the 16th Street Mall or any business district in Boulder or Denver. Tvert points out that Amendment 64 allows public consumption: “Nothing in this section shall prohibit a person, employer, school, hospital, detention facility, corporation or any other entity who occupies, owns or controls a property from prohibiting or otherwise regulating the possession, consumption, use, display, transfer, distribution, sale, transportation, or growing
5854 Rawhide Court, Unit C, Boulder Boulder Weekly
of marijuana on or in that property.” The problem is that the City of Denver has created an overly broad definition of what constitutes public use, Tvert says. “Rather than litigating, we decided to clarify what public use means.” Specifically, the proposal would allow social cannabis consumption by adults in establishments that choose to allow it. It will not change the law that disallows cannabis use in public places like sidewalks, alleys or parks. Consumption will only be allowed in establishments or designated areas restricted to adults 21 years of age or older, and they must be out of sight of people outside the restricted consumption areas. Any establishment that chooses to allow social cannabis use will be required to comply with the Colorado Clean Indoor Air Act, which means only non-smokeable forms of cannabis, such as vaporizers, will be allowed indoors. Smoking would only be permitted in areas where smoking is currently allowed. Venues or businesses that currently allow alcohol consumption would have the option of allowing the consumption of cannabis, and new establishments allowing cannabis users would be subject to regulation similar to alcohol.
Some argue that mixing marijuana and alcohol isn’t a good idea, but Tvert says the ordinance will give bar owners and police a better way to deal with intoxication rather than just giving out tickets. “It’s pretty naive to think that people won’t be using marijuana outside of places and in places where we don’t want them using,” he says. “This gives a leg up to establishment owners to be able to identify people who are intoxicated. Right now you don’t know. Under this, people who are using marijuana might have a green wristband. That way bartenders or workers can decide to take a closer look before serving them another drink.” The media emphasis has been on alcohol establishments, but as Tvert points out, the proposal isn’t aimed strictly at bars and taverns. “In fact, they might not be the most likely beneficiaries of this.” He sees it aiding art galleries, boutiques and other establishments and businesses that might want to allow marijuana consumption as they do alcohol for parties, gatherings and special events, like the classical music concerts in Denver last year. The group submitted more than 10,000 signatures, more than twice the 4,726 valid voters needed. A Public Policy Poll showed 56 percent of voters favoring it, about the same percentage that supported Amendment 64. This issue won’t go away. There are more than 60,000 marijuana users in Boulder County, and as City Council begins to look at marijuana regulations this fall, let your elected officials know that you want marijuana to be treated like alcohol here, too. The Denver proposal is a great place to begin the conversation. You can hear Leland discuss his most recent column and Colorado cannabis issues each Thursday morning on KGNU. http://news.kgnu.org/weed

(IN CASE YOU MISSED IT) An irreverent and not always accurate view of the world
THE BEST ARGUMENT FOR WHY GLOBAL WARMING IS GOOD: FLORIDA UNDER WATER Some people just can’t stay out of the news. The killer of Trayvon Martin is a great example of one of those people. By now it seems the name George Zimmerman has become synonymous with “too stupid to breath.” And like a bad penny, he’s back. This week Zimmerman decided to come to the aid of an embattled Central Florida gun-store owner. Now this Wikimedia Commons owner fellow isn’t in trouble for the usual gun-store owner things like selling guns to the mentally ill or eighth graders who’ve grown weary of the jokes at their expense. No this dumbass has declared his gun store a “Muslim-free zone” and as a result he is getting sued and needs money for his defense. Enter “Too stupid to breath.” So Zimmerman decided that the best way to help his new pal is to do a painting of a Confederate flag and then make prints that can be sold to raise funds for the store owner’s defense. You can’t make this stuff up. Why a Confederate flag? In a 10-minute video, Zimmerman and store owner Andy Hallinan explain that they chose the controversial flag because they believe it must be defended against the current attempt at “cultural-cleansing” being perpetrated by elitist politicians and media. Well, this elitist media doesn’t know much about cultural cleansing, but we sure know two piles of racist guano when we see it. Thank you once again, Sunshine State.
SUBWAY’S GOT A PROBLEM AND IT’S ABOUT SIX INCHES LONG How does the fast food chain Subway think it’s going to get out of this one? Jaws dropped around the country earlier this week when people finally realized how terrible Subway sandwiches are. The unanimous revelation came minutes after a former Subway spokesman and terrible person said he would plead guilty to child pornography possession charges. Wikimedia Commons The timing of this grand realization is baffling. There are more Subways in the U.S. than McDonalds, and there’s about two dozen in Boulder County alone. How did everyone not know the food was so bad? Subway has demonstrated years of lunchtime abuse! Now sure, we’ve all been there. You’re on a long road trip and you need something quick and that isn’t going to make you sick. There’s, of course, a Subway. “Ugh, fine,” you say. In fact, that should be Subway’s new tagline. Just because you put a bunch of Olympians in your advertisements doesn’t make your products healthy or good or legally sandwiches. The reason Jared lost so much weight eating Subway sandwiches in the first place is because he needed to train his brain to hate food. I’ve seen some people do some terrible things to sandwiches, but what you have done, Subway, is beyond reprehensible. I’d rather eat the cardboard box that your “meats,” “veggies” and “bread” comes in than one of your chicken onion teriy—oh my god I can’t even say it. So now’s the perfect time to swallow your pride (and, somehow, your sandwiches) and apologize for what you’ve done, Subway. Boulder Weekly
