Highroad ‘Lies, damn lies, and statistics’

by Jim Hightower

A

n old saying asserts that falsehoods come in three escalating levels: “Lies, damn lies, and statistics.” Now, however, there’s an even-higher category of lies: A Donald Trump speech.

Take his recent address on specific economic policies he would push to benefit hard-hit working families, including an almost-hilarious discourse on the rank unfairness of the estate tax: “No family will have to pay the death

tax,” he solemnly pledged, adding that “American workers have paid taxes their whole lives, and they should not be taxed again at death.”

But wait, “workers” are not taxed at death. The first $5.4 million of any deceased person’s estate is already exempt from this tax, meaning 99.8 percent of Americans pay absolutely zero. And the tiny percentage of families who do pay estate taxes are multimillionaires, not “workers.” Trump knows this, so he’s lying, shamefully trying to deceive real workers into thinking he’s standing for them, when in fact it’s his own wealth he’s protecting.

In the same speech, he offered a new childcare tax break to help working families “by allowing parents to fully deduct [childcare costs] from their taxes.” In a tender personal touch, Trump said his daughter Ivanka urged him to provide this helping hand to hard working parents because “she feels so strongly about this.” But, wait again

For more information on Jim Hightower’s work — and to subscribe to his award-winning monthly newsletter, The Hightower Lowdown — visit www.jimhightower.com.

— 70 percent of American households don’t have enough yearly income to warrant itemizing deductions. So the big majority of the Americans most in need of childcare help get nothing from Trump’s melodramatic posturing.

Once again, his generous tax benefits would flow uphill to wealthy families like his, giving the richest Americans a government subsidy for purchasing platinum-level care for their children.

As an early 20th century labor leader noted, “Figures don’t lie, but liars do figure.” That fits The Donald perfectly.

E

arlier this year, scholar and journalist Idrees Ahmad penned a scathing piece on Medium.com entitled “Aleppo is our Guernica — and some are cheering on the Luftwaffe.” Aleppo is a crucial rebel stronghold in Syria and it is under relentless assault by Russian bombers taking off from Iran as well as troops of the Syrian army, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and the Lebanese Hezbollah.

Ahmad was comparing the fate of Aleppo to that of Guernica, a Basque town bombed in 1937 by Hitler’s Luftwaffe for three hours in support of Francisco Franco’s fascist forces in Spain. Over 1,600 people were killed.

Pablo Picasso immortalized this episode of the Spanish Civil War in a painting and Pablo Neruda wrote poems about it.

“Now imagine a different response to Guernica,” Amad said. “Imagine people applauding the bombings, reproaching the victims, and slandering the witnesses. If you can imagine that, then you know Aleppo.”

He wasn’t referring to the neo-Nazis and far right parties of Europe or the American hipster “alt-right” white supremacist fans of Donald Trump.

Those people do indeed support the devastation of Aleppo. They are allies of Syrian dictator Bashir al-Assad and Russian president Vladimir Putin.

No, he was referring to prominent liberals and leftists who consider Assad to be the lesser evil in a conflict with opposition rebels who they believe are

all Islamist fanatics. That is how Assad has portrayed the war from the beginning. This is a lie.

In 2011, an Arab Spring rebellion began in Syria as a non-violent movement involving people of diverse political, ethnic and religious backgrounds.

They called for political freedom, social justice and dignity. This was after the Assad regime introduced severe “free market” reforms, which produced widespread economic misery with 48 percent youth unemployment in 2011. Sixty percent of the population was below the age of 24.

When people went into the streets demanding a better life, the regime denounced all of the protesters as Al Qaeda terrorists and responded with horrific violence. In a Machiaveillian move, the regime released the worst Islamist extremists from jail while going after the non-violent and non-sectarian protesters with ferocity. Later, a study showed that the regime and ISIS avoided fighting each other. Recently, Britain’s Sky News published leaked ISIS documents that show that ISIS is closely collaborating with the Assad regime.

The notion that Assad is the lesser evil is an obscenity. This is a brutal dictatorship which, according to the Syrian Network for Human Rights, is responsible for 95 percent of the civilian deaths, and which the UN Commission of Inquiry on Syria has indicted for “the crimes against humanity of extermination, murder, rape or other forms of sexual violence, see THE ANDERSON FILES Page 8

guest column Say ‘no’ to a lame duck vote on TPP

by Ken Bonetti

I

n their desperation to enact the controversial Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) “trade” agreement, proponents are pressing for a vote during the post-election “lame duck” Congress.

A lame duck Congress gives representatives cover to vote for bad or unpopular legislation with minimal accountability. Many soon disappear through the revolving door into lucrative lobbying stints, powerful board appointments and the talk show circuit. Most count on the voters to forget what happened well before the next election.

The TPP empowers “investors” from 12 Pacific Rim nations to sue governments in global arbitration “tribunals” if government actions threaten or reduce corporate profits. The TPP is less about “trade” and far more about protecting corporate power, investments and profits. Policies protecting public health and environmental quality are frequent targets of corporate suits under much smaller and weaker existing trade agreements. The TPP will significantly increase the power of many more corporations to forestall future protections.

The TPP is a much bigger deal than any of its predecessors. Besides compromising national sovereignty and significantly expanding market coverage, many enhanced provisions will impose strict drug patent rules on poor nations, stifling less expensive generics.

It will protect global banks from enhanced financial regulations, mandate approval of natural gas exports and weaken food safety regulations for imports.

The TPP will more than double the number of firms empowered to sue the U.S. Successful corporate suits force governments to suspend popular public policies or pay huge compensation claims to foreign corporations.

The TPP is the first of several giant pacts now in the works. Together they will increase our exposure to such suits fivefold. This enhanced corporate power will chill government initiatives to protect public health, reduce pollution, deal with climate disruption and protect workers and consumers from corporate abuses.

Boulder Weekly

The TPP will facilitate the exploitation of cheap labor in notoriously abusive locations such as Vietnam, Malaysia and Brunei, and threatens what still remains of American manufacturing. The TPP will effectively nullify legislation such as the 1933 Buy America Act, which is intended to create local jobs and benefit domestic firms. Claims that the agreement contains strong labor and environmental protections, much like those made on behalf of NAFTA, are greatly exaggerated. History and the TPP’s weak language on labor and environmental protections suggest little will change.

Notably, only foreign corporations can “sue” under the TPP. Citizens, domestic businesses and public interest groups cannot.

Even the most optimistic estimates of the TPP’s overall economic benefits project minuscule gains, bypassing most Americans. More realistic forecasts see significant U.S. job and income losses, particularly in manufacturing, as occurred after NAFTA and more recently with the Korea-U.S. free trade agreement. Multi-national corporations, global bankers and wealthy investors will reap the benefits as middle class incomes fall behind and good jobs disappear.

The official text was released in November so there’s been plenty of time to understand the TPP’s implications. Yet Rep. Jared Polis (D-Boulder) still claims to be “undecided.” He seems to be in denial while repeatedly defending the agreement and acting like the tribunals are no big deal.

Mr. Polis needs to hear from you.

He needs to understand the TPP is an anathema to democratic principles and unfit for human consumption. Call Mr. Polis at 303-484-9596. First tell him “no lame duck vote.” Tell him you want fair trade that protects democracy, people and the planet rather than the corporate version of “free trade” that does the opposite. Then politely insist Mr. Polis reject the TPP rather than compromise the welfare of most his constituents.

letters ‘Longest Hate’ superficial

I was very glad to see you address the issue of anti-Semitism in your August 4, 2016 article entitled “The Longest Hate.” However, I felt the analysis was terribly superficial. Blaming the burgeoning anti-Semitism on “hateful rhetoric in politics these days,” as asserted by Scott Levin, regional director of the ADL, misses the point.

In the midst of the U.S. so-called negotiations with Iran, Iran announced its intention to “wipe Israel off of the map.” There was no strong voice of condemnation from our president, nor from most of the Jewish community, who seem to be comfortably vocal when defending the pluralism of minority rights, but strangely silent when it comes to loudly decrying voices of genocide directed against us alone.

The silence of the Obama administration in response to Iran’s blustering genocidal threats is very much in line with the characterization of the IsraeliPalestinian tragedy as a problem of the “settlements.”

It is not a problem that Abbas openly declares that there should be no Israel. It is not a problem that he openly incites his citizens to execute Israelis and Jews, be they babies in their strollers or old people getting on buses, and then financially rewards the families of these “heroes.” This is not a problem. So, from the highest office in our land, the world is signaled to be deaf and blind to the issue of Jewish genocide, whether it is the battle cry of Iran or the endless propagandizing see LETTERS Page 9

torture, imprisonment, enforced disappearance and other inhuman acts.” The regime uses rape systematically as policy; and a report by a team of war crimes investigators documented “industrial scale killing,” with up to 11,000 killed “systematically” in detention.

The regime’s main ally, Russia, has been accused by Amnesty International of “egregious” war crimes, including the deliberate targeting of civilians and aid workers. The UN Commission of Inquiry has also accused the regime of using starvation as a weapon of war and for the “deliberate destruction of health care infrastructure.”

The Berlin Social Science Center conducted a survey of Syrian refugees who have fled to Europe. A majority of the Syrians think Assad is a greater threat than ISIS and said they won’t go back to Syria while Assad is still in power.

A majority said a no-fly zone would allow more people to stay in the country.

The vast majority said they feared Assad’s barrel bombs (improvised metal barrels packed with explosives and scrap metal), which Amnesty International has said are responsible for large numbers of civilian deaths.

The majority of Syrians said Assad’s military response to peaceful demonstrations was the leading cause of the conflict.

Isn’t it time we listened to the people of Syria? The revolutionaries haven’t given up within Syria. Ahmad writes — in an article in Dissent magazine — that in Syria, “society has shown remarkable resilience, despite the con-

stant attrition of barrel bombs, starvation sieges, mass detention, torture, and rape. In liberated areas across the country (and, secretly, in regime and Islamic State–controlled areas) close to 400 local councils have been established, appointed through a form of direct democracy, functioning in practical, non-ideological terms, catering to basic needs such as water, electricity, waste disposal, and healthcare.”

Meanwhile, the United States and Russia are drafting a new constitution for Syria, in consultation with the Assad regime. The Syrian people aren’t at the table. This seems reminiscent of the 1916 Sykes-Picot agreement by the British and French imperialists to divide up the newly defunct Ottoman Empire.

Where is the U.S. left and the peace movement? Strangely enough, some people are actually giving tacit (even overt) support to the Assad regime.

Fortunately, there is a growing movement to support the Syrian people’s struggle. The Committee in Solidarity with the People of Syria helped organize the “International Solidarity Hunger Strike” for Syria’ to pressure the U.N. to allow humanitarian groups to bring food to besieged areas. Solidarity activists in the U.K. and Code Pink in the U.S. gathered thousands of signatures on petitions to “Drop Food, Not Bombs.”

We need a movement for a peaceful and just end to the conflict.

voices of Palestinian victimhood.

The distortions, slander and outright lies about Jews and Israel is accepted with unblinking propriety as politically correct, while any criticism of radical Islam is quickly labeled “Islamophobia.”

This age-old virus of anti-Semitism, which has plagued the Christian West for two millennia and is now merging with a virulent radical Islam is what really deserves our very serious attention, not simply “hateful rhetoric” by some politicians. Jews and non-Jews need to speak up, for ultimately this will affect all of us.

• A citizen/member-owned platinum level insurance program with no deductibles and complete choice of primary care provider with no mandatory sign up period: a program more comprehensive than the best plan on the Colorado exchange, and one designed to save costs for 85 percent of present Medicare beneficiaries.

• No deductibles and no annual or lifetime limits. If you are sick, you get the help you need!

• No co-pays for primary or preventative care.

• While providing limited dental, vision, and hearing services for adults, Amendment 69 will set a minimum standard the same as ACA and Medicaid have established.

Owned by Coloradoans for the benefit of Coloradoans, this program is estimated to keep billions within our state borders and demonstrate to the rest of the nation what Colorado can

provide in leadership.

Be wary of those who would have you believe that, while increasing fraud reduction, and by removing $6 billion from the salaries of insurance industry billionaires and returning those financial resources to dedicating the improvement of your health care will not be in your best interest.

Beware.

DEA outrage

Thank you for your recent article on the denial of the 2011 Rhode IslandWashington Marijuana Rescheduling Petition by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) [Re: Weed Between the Lines, “The DEA says ‘no’ to rescheduling marijuana,” Aug. 18].

It’s encouraging to see such outrage in response to this decision, but the truth is that this was completely expected.

With the DEA and the FDA believing that the only way a substance can have medical use is if it has successfully passed the FDA new drug approval process, it’s easy to understand how these federal agencies could ignore the fact that FDA approval is just one form of accepted medical use.

We must not forget that the DEA is an administrative agency that does not have the authority to ignore federalism and deny a standard of medical care that states have adopted, especially when such accepted medical use has a direct impact upon federal scheduling. However, we can’t blame the DEA for failing to recognize a form of medical use that continues to go unrecognized and unsupported by those states that have accepted such use.

Tell the DEA to reschedule marijuana based on state-accepted medical use and let’s have the kind of public discussion on the scheduling of marijuana that is required of federal rescheduling proceedings.

Fanning the flames

Connections between recently proposed legislation and antigovernment extremists threaten public lands in the West

by Claire Woodcock

Boulder Weekly

R

esidents, transplants and visitors alike recognize Colorado as a pioneer in public land leadership.

From forests like the White River National Forest to parks like Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado leads by example, paving the way for other Western states to embrace public lands within their state lines.

However, there are a growing number of state senators dissatisfied with the U.S. government’s management of public lands, and they are gunning to privatize these federal lands as a form of “state reclamation.”

In July, the Center for Western Priorities (CWP) updated a report that draws parallels between politicians who support expansive state and local control over federal lands and extremist antigovernment groups with takeover agendas. The updated report, titled “Going to Extremes: The Anti-Government Extremism Behind the Growing Movement to Seize America’s Public Lands, names Colorado Republican state Senators Jerry Sonnenberg (R-Sterling) and Kent Lambert (R-Colorado Springs) in regards to bills they have sponsored in the last year that support state control of Colorado’s federally maintained lands.

Sen. Sonnenberg was the lead sponsor for a bill that would have mandated the study of a

possible state takeover of national public lands in Colorado. Senate Bill 232 died in a 5-4 vote after opponents noted the makeup of the study panel excluded many types of Coloradans, such as sportsmen and women, business owners, outdoor recreationists and federal land managers.

“I indeed support moving control of federal lands to each state,” Sen. Sonnenberg says.

“States and local governments have a much better understanding of those lands and should be providing the management based on that local understanding.”

The senator argues that federal control has led to reduced public access to these lands as well as poor management, which has led to an uptick in disease and wildfires. Under proper forest management, Sen. Sonnenberg says thinning forests helps to reduce overgrowth, and thinning undergrowth helps control grazing. But, he argues, that is not what the federal government is doing.

“Under federal management, selective timber harvesting was reduced if not eliminated, causing too thick of forests and now nature thins them through wildfires,” he says. “Also, under federal management, grazing has been reduced which leads to overgrowth of the grasses below the trees, creating a fire haven See PUBLIC LANDS Page 12

when the grass turns dry.”

Sen. Lambert spearheaded a similar bill this year, which advocates for the state and its communities to exercise police power on federal lands during times of emergency. Sen. Lambert has been vehemently critical of the federal government’s response time for wildfire containment.

He often uses the 2012 Waldo Canyon Fire near Colorado Springs as an example.

Sen. Lambert did not return multiple emails and phone calls from Boulder Weekly prior to press time.

Cliven and Although the push to privatize Ammon Bundy Colorado’s public lands is not a speaking at a forum hosted by popular position among the state’s the American residents, Sens. Sonnenberg and Academy for Constitutional Lambert are not alone in their Education mission. The CWP reports that (AAFCE) at the Burke Basic Sens. Sonnenberg and Lambert School in Mesa, were just two of 20 other state Arizona in 2014. legislators serving as primary sponsors for 54 land-seizure bills introduced in Western state legislatures over the last 18 months.

Another Colorado official not named by the recent CWP report is Sen. Randy Baumgardner, a Republican who representing Northwest Colorado.

He has been another prime co-sponsor of anti-federal land bills in the state over the last five years.

“It’s interesting because Lambert and Sonnenberg represent Front Range or Eastern Plains districts that have very little public land, but Randy Baumgardner represents the largest public lands district in the Colorado Senate,” Scott Braden, wilderness advocate and media specialist with Conservation Colorado says.

“He’s got somewhere in the tune of 6 million acres of national public land in his district.”

Attempted public land grabs by states are a growing issue in the West. They are largely supported by antigovernment organizations that have been on the upswing since Barack Obama was elected president in 2008. In addition, the U.S. government’s introduction of the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act and the Wilderness Act over the years has left many conservatives and western landowners believing the federal government is over-regulating extractive land uses like oil, gas, mining and timber as well as traditional grazing practices.

As a result, frustration and resentment have been building among ranchers dependent on grazing their cattle on federal lands and politicians who support and are supported by the oil, gas and timber industries. In some cases, this frustration has morphed into 12 August 25, 2016

organized antigovernment activism.

Last year, the Southern Poverty Law Center reported 19 active antigovernment “patriot” groups in the state of Colorado, including the Oath Keepers. Those numbers compare to nine such organizations in Utah that are supporting that state’s current efforts to privatize federal lands.

There are 18 known groups in Oregon, where antigovernment activists Ammon Bundy led a group of armed militants in the highly publicized takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge this past winter. That takeover was in response to the prison sentences of two Oregon cattle ranchers, Dwight and Steven Hammond, who were convicted of arson on federal lands after they burned areas to improve the grass where they had traditionally grazed their animals.

Ammon Bundy is the son of Cliven Bundy, the infamous Nevada rancher who instigated a 2014 standoff with federal authorities at his ranch over a 20-year-long grazing dispute with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).

In total thus far, there have already been five armed standoffs or shows of civil disobedience in the West, resulting from disputes over federal land ownership and management.

In addition to the Cliven Bundy ranch standoff and the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge takeover in Oregon, there was an illegal off-road vehicle ride and protest in San Juan County, Utah in 2014. In 2015, antigovernment adherents held an armed gathering as a show of force in Josephine County, Oregon.

And in April 2015, many members of the same 20 or so patriot and sovereign-citizens groups that had been involved in the Bundy Ranch standoff, as well as the Oregon and Utah actions, took over and occupied a large swath of national forest land in Montana.

And these five incidents don’t count the arrest of an Arizona antigovernment activist apprehended in June 2016 for allegedly planning to bomb the offices of the BLM in that state. There are currently 31 known antigovernment groups operating in Arizona.

Many observers believe that the actions of state legislators like Colorado’s Sonnenberg, Lambert and Baumgardner are feeding the fires of this rural Western discontent.

“The biggest risk currently posed by extremist legislators is against law enforcement,” says Aaron Weiss, media director for the CWP in Denver. “We’ve seen bills in Congress that would disarm the Interior Department entirely, putting our park rangers and scientists at risk. When you combine that legislative agenda with the actions of people like Ammon and Ryan Bundy, those militants are emboldened by what they see at the legislative level.”

Additionally, the GOP has adopted a plank in their platform at this year’s Republican National Convention calling for the transfer of public lands to states that includes this language: “Congress shall immediately pass universal legislation providing for a timely and orderly mechanism requiring the federal government to convey certain federally controlled public lands to states.”

National proponents of this land grab movement include politicians like Texas Senator Ted Cruz and Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, demonstrating that this antigovernment influence is fueling the political system at the national level.

Historically, the idea that local governments or white settlers are the rightful owners of federal lands comes directly from conspiracy-driven groups like the Posse Comitatus who believe the “New World Order” is out to take ownership of all lands and ultimately imprison land and gun owners as slave laborers. Many of these white ranchers and rural laborers believe that the government should return all federal land to its original owners — them. But critics point out this belief is misguided.

“If the land is to go back to the people who originally owned it, it would be Indian people who would have that claim. When people like the Bundy family make the claim that the land should go back to the people as it was originally in their possession, that’s historically imagined,” says Patty Limerick, director of the Center of the American West at the University of Colorado Boulder.

The U.S. government owns 47 percent of all land in the West, and visitors share in the cost of maintaining those public lands. Limerick says that from a historical perspective, privatizing public land has been shown to reduce or eliminate public access, and that it’s very common for people to make up their own details about history, even on national political platforms.

“If you’re going to deal with reality, you just have Boulder Weekly

news better footing if you start with a historically accurate understanding,” Limerick says. “The people who claim that the land was once in the possession of American citizens and should go back to that ownership, that’s a historically inaccurate premise.”

As Republican senators tout public land grabs as a state’s rights issue, Mark Potok, a senior fellow with the Southern Poverty Law Center, raises the point that states often lack the financial ability to manage such large tracts of land, which is why federal land management exists.

“Oftentimes if lands are turned over to the states, those lands are likely to be the victim of local budget crisis,” Potok says. He adds that, “Privatizing the land in any significant way is very likely to wind up with degradation of the land at the expense of the American people.”

His main argument, in the case for maintaining federal land ownership, is that local governments do not have the funds to be good environmental stewards of these lands. Experts in Colorado agree that while there are some legitimate complaints with the government’s overall stewardship of public lands, any state land seizure would ultimately hurt the communities that have built their economies around recreation and visitation.

Some of these communities generate many millions of dollars as a result of pristine federal lands.

“Because of the high cost of managing these public lands, especially if you think about the wildfire cost, [the price] would be so high that the state of Colorado would have to tilt the management towards increasingly profitable activities,” says Conservation Colorado’s Braden.

In other words, for Colorado to own these federal lands, oil and gas extraction, timber cutting, mining and other industrial uses would increase in order to balance the books. Weiss from CWP agrees that Colorado simply could not afford to manage public lands. He says trying to foot the bill for disasters such as wildfires alone would pose a huge challenge to the state budget.

“One severe wildlife season can cost U.S. Forest Service and BLM a hundred million dollars in any given state. That’s roughly what all of Colorado spends on law enforcement,” Weiss says.

It’s important to note that the CWP report directly linking politicians to extremist groups is based on the political support for issues that reflectthe concerns of these Western antigovernment activists, not on any Boulder Weekly

formal membership or direct participation in any of these groups. However, Weiss argues that these politicians aren’t just supporting similar goals, they’re trying to pass legislation that gets directly at the demands and ideologies of groups like the Bundy Ranch supporters and the Oath Keepers in Colorado.

“Thankfully, the small number of legislators in Colorado with extremist ties have not had much success pushing their agenda through the state capitol,” says Weiss. “There’s a stark contrast between Colorado — where three bills that attacked federal land ownership failed in 2015 and 2016 — and Utah, where the legislature is getting ready to waste $14 million on a doomed lawsuit that’s trying to force the American people to give up American lands in the state.”

In stark contrast to Utah, last May, Colorado became the first state in the nation to create a holiday in celebration of the benefits of public lands.

Governor John Hickenlooper signed a bill put forward by Rep. KC Becker of Boulder, designating the third Saturday in May as “Public Lands Day” statewide.

“Every year it will provide opportunities for entities that want to say, ‘Get out on your public lands, here’s the benefit that our public lands drive,’” says Rep. Becker. “My sense is that there’s nothing wrong with our current laws, we don’t need to transfer land to the state or certainly not to private entities for there to be greater community involvement in public land decision making.”

So while most Coloradans agree that there is nothing wrong with the current system, the dispute over federal land ownership isn’t likely to go away so long as certain politicians are willing to exploit the emotions associated with the issue for their own gain.

And those emotions run deep. In the West, it’s hard for a fifth generation rancher to see the fairness in having the 100,000 acres of BLM land that his family has used to graze cattle for 150 years suddenly made off limits, sinking his operation and taking away his family’s livelihood. It’s a circumstance that can and is being easily exploited by those recruiting for antigovernment groups.

And with politicians willing to fan the flames of this hate-filled political ideology, it only makes sense that more standoffs, more violence and sadly, more deaths are likely on the horizon when it comes to the ongoing showdown over federal land ownership in the West.

L

ast week, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced it would begin phasing out its contracts with private prisons, eventually ending the use of these facilities all together.

The DOJ announcement comes on the heels of a recent report by the Inspector General’s office, which found inadequate monitoring of the private prisons and a lower-level of safety and security than federally operated facilities. It questioned the use of solitary confinement as a solution to overcrowding, and the inability to track and verify if inmates receive adequate health care.

Advocates call for end to private immigration prisons

by Angela K. Evans In a memo to the Bureau of Prisons (BOP), Deputy Attorney General Sally Q. Yates directed the BOP not to renew contracts with private prisons, eventually ending their use altogether. She reasoned that while the private facilities where necessary when incarceration rates were growing, they have steadily been declining since 2013. In addition, inmates are better and more consistently served in BOP facilities, and private prisons do not “save substantially on costs,” as previously argued.

The day of the announcement, stocks for the two largest U.S. private prison operators, Corrections Corp. of America (CCA) and GEO Group, Inc., Boulder Weekly

plummeted between 30 and 40 percent. And experts have praised the DOJ announcement as a significant step toward criminal justice reform in a country that incarcerates 22 percent of the world’s prisoners, while only representing 4.4 percent of world’s population.

However, the DOJ directive does not apply to state prisons, public or private, nor to Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) immigration detention facilities, the majority of which are privately run. Advocates argue the private companies still stand to profit from imprisoning people, and call for states and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which oversees ICE, to follow the DOJ’s lead.

“The private prison industry creates a problematic and damaging incentive to incarcerate and detain more people whether that’s for immigration or criminal violations,” says Kathryn Johnson, policy impact coordinator for American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) in Washington D.C. AFSC is a centuryold Quaker nonprofit organization working with immigrants and refugees.

In the case of ICE, Johnson argues, this incentive has resulted in Congressional immigration detention minimums, most commonly referred to as the “bed quota.”

The bed quota was first introduced in 2009 as part of DHS’ appropriations act of 2010. At the time, it called for daily funding of no less than 33,400 detention beds. The 2013 appropriations bill upped the quota to 34,000. No other law enforcement agency has such a directive from Congress.

According to AFSC, approximately 500,000 people sleep in the 34,000 beds in immigration detention facilities each year, costing taxpayers nearly $2 billion. Nine of the 10 largest ICE immigration detention facilities are privately owned and operated, eight of which are run by either CCA or GEO Group, Inc. Since the introduction of the bed quota, there’s been a 13 percent increase in the number of immigrants housed in these private facilities, which provide 62 percent of detention beds.

facilities have increased their share of detention beds by 13 percent since the quota was instituted. It also reports that contrary to the private prison industries denial of such claims, CCA and GEO Group, Inc. have also spent significant resources lobbying on issues of immigration reform and detention, with CCA specifically lobbying the DHS appropriations subcommittee according to the group.

Johnson believes the DOJ’s findings and recent announcement should cause DHS and Congress to reevaluate the bed quota and use of private companies for immigration detention.

“It would be inexcusable for DHS not to carefully examine facilities and their use of private prisons in light of this announcement,” Johnson says. “It’s the same companies that are running many of the facilities and there is no reason to believe that they don’t face the same problems.”

“It seems that if a government agency has investigated and seen these problems that it should apply across the board even if it is across different agencies,” says Gabriela Flora, AFSC’s Denver program director. “But that’s not how our system always runs.”

She says AFSC has heard reports from people previously held in the Denver Contract Detention Facility operated by the GEO Group, Inc. in Aurora, that solitary confinement is used as punishment, under-cooked food is causing stomach issues, frigid temperatures cause respiratory problems and requests for extra blankets and clothes are denied. Like all other privately run prisons, the Aurora facility is not subjected to open-records request laws and AFSC has been unable to confirm these reports. Flora says the difficulty in accessing information and the lack of transparency is another reason ICE should not contract private companies to run immigration detention. She would like DHS to use the DOJ investigation’s findings, follow suit and also terminate its contracts with private prisons.

“It is particularly important to put pressure on DHS, and say, ‘Phasing out of private prisons is the right thing to do in the Department of Justice and it’s also the right thing to do in the Department of Homeland Security.’”

Officials from ICE and DHS did not respond to an interview request on the matter but did provide the following statement via email: “U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) remains committed to providing a safe and humane environment for all those in its custody. For individuals in its custody, ICE seeks to reduce transfers, maximize access to counsel and visitation, promote recreation, improve conditions of confinement and ensure quality medical, mental health and dental care. ...

“ICE provides several levels of oversight in order to ensure that detainees in ICE custody reside in safe, secure and humane environments and under appropriate conditions of confinement.”

Furthermore, ICE officials maintain the detention system has a thorough chain of oversight and the Office of Detention Oversight (ODO) publishes annual compliance reports on each detention facility. “ODO’s findings, coupled with regular onsite inspections, enable ICE to isolate and quickly address any operating deficiencies identified at its detention facilities,” an ICE official speaking on background wrote in an email.

The DOJ announcement will, however, affect a large population of non-U.S. citizens who are currently in Criminal Alien Requirement (CAR) prisons that fall under BOP and not ICE. These facilities house immigrants, approximately 23,000 non-citizens at the end of 2015, who are mainly serving criminal sentences for “improper” entry or reentry after a deportation, as well as nonviolent drug offenses.

Immigration advocates have long argued that immigrants are subjected to squalid conditions, overuse of solitary confinement and lack of medical care at the private CAR facilities, although the prisons have continuously refuted such accusations.

There are 13 such privately run facilities under the BOP. Regardless of its limited scope, Johnson from AFSC praises the DOJ directive as a step in the right direction, although the complete phasing out of private prisons depends entirely upon whether or not the incoming administration decides to implement it. However, she points out, it should urge Congress to reconsider and amend the detention bed quota.

“Whereas with the DOJ there is not an immediate step that Congress can take to have an impact, there certainly is in the case of the ICE facilities and an easy fix within the appropriations bill,” she says.

AFSC is hosting a Week of Action August 22-26, urging citizens to call congressional representatives and ask them to end the detention bed quota as a step toward abolishing immigration detention altogether.

The public art installation is inspired by The Tree That Owns Itself in Athens, Georgia, where the tree is its own landlord and stands for the rights of nature. According to local historians, the tree was deeded to itself in the will of its former owner, Colonel William Henry Jackson, who loved the tree and desired its protection beyond the confines of his lifetime.

FORMER NIST DIRECTOR AND NOTABLE PHYSICIST KATHARINE GEBBIE DIES AT 84

Dr. Katharine Blodgett Gebbie, former director of the Physics Laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and mentor to four Nobel Laureates, died on Aug. 17. She was 84.

Boulder Weekly interviewed Gebbie before her death.

While her own career was filled with awards, she took great pride in mentoring the next generation of scientists.

“I enjoyed supporting these scientists as much as I enjoyed research, as some people would find strange and think, ‘Did I really want to give up research itself?’

And I didn’t,” Gebbie said.

“I found it very exciting to Courtesy of NIST support these first class scientists in doing what they wanted to do; I don’t think I ever told them what to do. But, who was I to tell Nobel Prize winners what they should do?”

After graduating with a degree in physics from Bryn Mawr in 1957, Gebbie became a graduate student in the physics department at University College London.

Soon after, Gebbie moved to Boulder for a postdoctoral fellowship at the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics (JILA). She then moved to Gaithersburg, Maryland, to work at NIST’s headquarters, but came back to Boulder in 1985 as chief of the quantum physics division at JILA. In 1988 she returned to Gaithersburg and became the founding director of the Physics Laboratory in 1990.

During her time at JILA, Gebbie learned that her job was to provide resources and let the scientists direct their own research. In addition to trying to keep paperwork away from scientists, Gebbie worked to guarantee years of stable funding so they could pursue their research to the greatest degree and hire research assistants.

Her dedication to the scientists who worked under her paid off. Between 1997 and 2012, William Phillips, Eric Cornell, John L. Hall and David Wineland all won Nobel Prizes in Physics. In 2003, Deborah Jin won a MacArthur Fellowship, also known as a Genius Grant. Jin went on to create the first fermionic condensate, helping researchers understand superconductivity and superfluidity.

Although Gebbie had been invited to Nobel Prize ceremonies in the past, she wasn’t able to attend until 2012. She went with Wineland, who received a prize for his work with quantum systems.

“Seeing David Wineland bowing to the King of Sweden made all the ups and downs worthwhile,” she said.

Gebbie described the loyalty of the NIST scientists as extraordinary and considered herself lucky to receive support from scientists and management.

She had inquiries and interviews for other jobs over the years, but never felt the desire to leave NIST. She retired from directing the Physical Measurements Laboratory in 2012, but at the time of her death, Gebbie was serving as a senior advisor to the current director of the lab.

In December 2015, the most advanced laboratory building at NIST was renamed after Gebbie, the first time a NIST Boulder building has been named for a person.

“One of the great pleasures of being a physicist is your colleagues, getting to know, having first-class colleagues and getting to know what they’re doing,” she said she told young scientists. “I just couldn’t think of anything more fun than what I had and the wonderful loyalty.”

Team USA, ready to wade The World Fly Fishing Championship comes to Vail

by Emma Murray

O

n the 11th of September, more than 400 people will coast through the Rocky Mountains, stopping in Vail. They will be from 25 different countries, and all their bags will be packed with similar things: water-proof clothes, brimmed hats, sunscreen and fly fishing rods.

They’ll check into their hotels, the teams will register — one per country — and at 5p.m. everyone will assemble at Gore Creek, each team holding their national flag, ready to proceed in the 36th

FIPS-Mouche World Fly Fishing Championships’ opening ceremony.

“These are the best anglers in the world, from all over the world,” John Knight, the 2016 tournament organizer, says. For 20 years, he’s been living in Eagle County, where this year’s world championship will be held. For the past three years, since Knight secured Vail’s hosting bid, he’s dedicated thousands of hours to planning this “real-deal event, see FLY FISHING Page 26

FLY FISHING from Page 25

preparing our waters for the very best.”

For decades, fly fishing has been accumulating popularity and intensity as an international event. The Fédération Internationale de Peche Sportive-Mouche, or FIPS-Mouche (in French, mouche means fly, the insect) spawned from a group of Italian fishermen in the early 1950s who wanted to arrange world and regional fishing tournaments in Olympic style, “to foster friendship and understanding among all people, and peace in the world, through sport,” according to their website.

Since 1983, FIPS-Mouche has orchestrated international tournaments around the globe and boasts over 50 million members from 42 countries. The annual World Championships are hosted by a different country each year. The last time the tournament was hosted in U.S. waters was in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, in 1996.

“That was before I even knew competition fly fishing existed,” Lance Egan says. Since 2003, Egan has been a core member of the U.S. national fly fishing team. “I joined right when the team started transitioning from a ‘good ole boys network’ to a real team. They finally realized just inviting friends wasn’t the best way to go, or to win.”

At the 2015 World Championships held in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Team USA placed second. “Last year was the first time we ever medaled. So this year I think we’re set up to replicate our success,” Egan says. “I’m most excited for the team.”

Egan, from Provo, Utah, has been fishing since he was a young boy. “I don’t come from a family of anglers, so my parents always joke I got my fish obsession as a baby. When I wouldn’t sleep, they would prop me up in a car

Team USA is busy getting ready for the World Fly Fishing Championship taking place in Vail at the beginning of September.

seat in front of my dad’s aquarium so I could watch the fishes. I guess it soothed me.”

This will be Egan’s tenth international tournament. “We’re the same team as last year, which is a good thing,” he explains. “We’ve already got the friendship and knowledge of each other’s tendencies. It’s a lot like pro basketball. There is real advantage here in having consistency in your team.

“We share a lot of information with each other. As we switch locations we always call or text each other to find out anything we’d need to know about the location. We get a lot out of that.”

Norman Maktima, another veteran Team USA member, agrees. “Our Team USA works extremely well together. We have competed against one another, but more importantly, we have fished together to a point that we understand our strengths and our weaknesses. We have a common language that we understand.”

Maktima, from Santa Fe, New Mexico, entered the international fly fishing scene in 1997, when he was asked to join the USA Youth Fly Fishing team. Since then he’s traveled the world, competing in Sweden, Italy, Slovenia and Quebec, among other places, and collected numerous individual medals. This year, he’s most excited to bring the fly fishing world to Colorado, and “to have my fellow friends-slash-competitors experience what we have as a fishery.”

hat goes together better than beer and comedy?

Locally brewed beer and locally brewed comedy. Good thing this weekend’s Longmont Laugh Fest features both.

“Beer and comedy go hand-in-hand,” says Emily Andrews, the festival’s producer. “We always tell people that the more you drink, the funnier we are.”

The community-oriented comedy festival is part of an effort to bring a vibrant comedy scene to Longmont. And with this year’s event expected to quadruple in size, the dream is starting to look like a reality.

Returning for its second year, the ambitious, three-day event spans four locations (three of which are breweries), featuring upwards of 50 comics from Longmont, the Front Range and throughout the country. It kicks off Aug. 25 and will feature standup, improv, musical and open-mic comedy.

The shows are free, with the exception of its finale (which costs $7 at the door). Dubbed the “Primetime Show,” it features stand-up performances from headliner Zach Jobe, Denver’s Andres Becerril,

and the festival’s organizers: Emily Andrews and JoAnn McIver.

For more than two years the festival’s producers, known as Bub Comedy, have worked toward building Longmont’s comedy scene.

“Last year we were very small. We were basically just seeing if it would be viable,” Andrews says. “We had resounding positive feedback, so we decided to go big this year and see what would happen.”

Bub Comedy’s efforts have not only been a service for comedy, but for Longmont itself.

“We have a tight-knit community. We’re friends with a lot of businesses in town, so it’s a bit of a share-the-love scenario,” Andrews says.

The recent growth of Longmont’s comedy scene has coincided with its growing microbrewery scene and the two have supported one another.

“Longmont is really changing,” says Jean Ditslear, the owner of 300 Suns Brewery and one of Laugh Fest’s hosts. “We’re getting a vibrant brewery scene, and a vibrant art scene. We’re all kind of bringing it up together.”

Andrews says Longmont is naturally suited for comedy in-part because of its prevalent microbreweries.

for comics than a lot of bars,” she says.

“People are drinking and they’re loose, but they’re not filthy drunk like they might be at a Denver bar at 1 a.m.”

In her productions, Andrews exhibits an attention to detail and a “qualityover-quantity” mentality. She and her partner JoAnn McIver have spent the better part of a year hand-picking this year’s performers, most of whom they say are talented but unknown.

“They’re comics that we’ve seen and that we’ve vetted. We’ve seen them work for the past few years. And they’re hands-down good enough to be paid, headlining comics.” Andrews says.

“They just don’t have the name recognition yet.”

Andrews knows that good comedians are the foundation of a good comedy scene, and so her company invests in comedians themselves.

The primary obstacle facing mid-level comedians, she says, is lack of mid-level performance opportunities — since most small-town comedy consists of either open-mic shows or touring headliners. Bub Comedy tries to fill that gap.

“There’s very little in-between opportunity. If you’ve just done three to five minutes, having the opportunity to do 15 minutes in a very supporting environment can be a stepping stone from A to C.” Andrews says. “It’s our goal to give them a little bit of that name recognition and a little bit of that resume boost.”

Additionally, many comedy clubs rely on comedians for promotion, requiring they bring in a given number of attendees in exchange for a performance. Zach Jobe, the festival’s headlining comedian, says these types of gigs can be demoralising.

“I’ve done those open mics where you wait there for three hours and then by the time you go up every comedian has left, and the audience was just comedians anyways.” Jobe says. “A lot of open mics

are bad environments to get better.”

Andrews’ practice of holding comedy shows at various local businesses rather than a comedy club of her own means that she doesn’t have to worry about filling a venue every night. This lets her circumvent the aforementioned ineffective model.

“You get more of an opportunity to have people grow and not feel like she, as a promoter, is requiring the comedian to do all the promotion for her shows,” Jobe says. “You can have comedians worrying about doing their set and not about filling up the room.”

Andrews hopes that her focus on quality comedians will build Bub Comedy’s reputation, allowing the brand to attract audiences even if the performers are relatively unknown.

And her efforts seem to be paying off. While Longmont is home to many comedians, they most typically perform in Denver, Fort Collins and Boulder.

But this is beginning to change.

“We’re starting to see a lot of those groups come back to Longmont — improv groups, producers and stand-up comics who live here who have just been doing comedy elsewhere,” Andrews says. “We’re seeing the return of those comics.”

Ditslear, the owner of 300 Suns Brewery, has been noticing the change, too. 300 Suns recently expanded its comedy events from once a month to twice a month, due to popular demand from audiences and comics alike.

Andrews hopes the festival’s success isn’t just a byproduct of Longmont’s growth, but something that can contribute to it as well.

“We all know why it’s important to laugh,” Andrews says. “Having laughter and humor in our lives makes our quality of life much higher.”

’m on a phone interview,” Shawn Colvin yells — away from the phone — about 10 minutes into our chat. “It’s Steve,” she explains. “We’re sitting outside waiting on a bus.”

And then, her head clearly turned away from the phone’s mouthpiece, “She’s asking about when you found out about me doing ‘Someday.’”

It’s Steve Earle she’s talking to. The singer/songwriters have been on tour since June 10 in support of their album Colvin and Earle, which sees the solo artists merge into an effortless folk duo.

Dzogchen, also known as the “great perfection,” is a path of self-liberation and the highest form of teaching in the Tibetan Bön Buddhist tradition. For practitioners with the capacity, it offers the potential for liberation during a single lifetime and within a single body. The Seven Mirrors of Dzogchen is a powerful heart-essence teaching, offering a direct introduction to the clear, open awareness of the dzogchen view as well as methods for maintaining this state.

COLVIN AND EARLE from Page 33

Talking Heads. Tucked in there was Earle’s “Someday,” a song about a restless young man (a woman in Colvin’s version), feeling mediocre in a job at a small town gas station, dreaming of getting out of there “someday.”

By this time, Earle’s success had been overshadowed by his devil-may-care exploits.

The same year Colvin released Cover Girl, Earle was arrested for heroin, cocaine and weapons possession. He was sentenced to a year in jail. (He served only 60 days and spent the rest of the year in rehab.)

In 1994, Earle might not have been stuck in a small town, but he sure as hell felt stuck.

Earle has said hearing Colvin’s cover was a point of light, “because Shawn recorded it when I was completely off everybody’s radar, including my own.”

The two had crossed paths before Colvin covered “Someday,” and they would go on to team up for a handful of acoustic tour dates. But a couple of years ago, Colvin got the idea to call Earle up and ask if he wanted to “get together and go on tour and have some camaraderie together.”

Some shows followed and it was clear the two had undeniable musical chemistry, the roughness of Earle’s baritone soothed and accentuated by Colvin’s sweet contralto. This pairing was worth more than a few live shows, so Earle suggested they put together an album.

Alexandra Valenti They holed up in mutual friend Buddy Miller’s Nashville studio with a top-notch band behind them: Miller on baritone guitar; guitarist Richard Bennett; drummer Fred Eltringham (who’s played with Willie Nelson); and bassist Chris Wood of Medeski Martin & Wood. It only took a week and a half to lay down the tracks that made it on the album.

Colvin and Earle co-wrote together and sang the majority of the album’s 10 tracks in harmony.

“We wanted this to be more like a duo — like a Simon and Garfunkel thing, if you will,” Colvin says.

Their cohesion is clear in the first single, “You’re Right (I’m Wrong),” a billowing dark work that uses mournful Southern sounds to examine the complex — and often manipulative — nature of love.

It’s not surprising these two bastions of contemporary folk work well together — neither has a history of hiding their demons. In 2012, Colvin published her memoirs, Diamond in the Rough, chronicling her experiences with anorexia, clinical depression, alcoholism, motherhood and relationships with men. Earle has always been candid, in the press and in his music, about his many marriages (seven to date) and recovery from drug addiction.

“I think there’s perhaps a core... how do you want to put it... sense of sensitivity in a lot of artists that make them less armored against intensity and intense emotions,” Colvin offers. “There’s a need to express that somehow through the art and the work.”

And while she and Earle may have gone through hell, she in no way believes that’s the best path to being a great artist.

“When you’re at the bottom of the pit with clinical depression, no work is getting done,” she says. “It can’t be romanticized, that kind of illness. That’s not just having a broken heart or being angry about the state of the climate. It’s a disease.

And so is addiction, for that matter.”

Colvin hollers at someone in the room to grab her smallest suitcase, “the purple one.” She says we’ll have to get off the phone soon because she’s running out of privacy.

No matter. There’s plenty more to explore in the body of both artist’s catalogs.

UPCOMING AT eTOWN HALL

Davi Russo

Director Derek Cianfrance credits the University of Colorado film program as his best piece of good fortune.

D

ear incoming film students, take a moment to learn from those who came before you, and please heed Derek Cianfrance’s advice: “Be where you are. If you’re at school, if you’re in a film class, pay attention. Pay attention, be present.”

Being present might be one of Cianfrance’s greatest assets. The writer/director behind Blue Valentine, The Place Beyond the Pines and the upcoming The Light Between Oceans has made a career out of being present and attentive. His movies are perfect examples of what can be accomplished and what can be captured when one is in the moment.

But it didn’t happen overnight.

Like most directors, Cianfrance’s career began at an early age. His formative years were influenced by a Fischer Price projector.

“You would load these Super 8 cartridges in it and hand crank to watch a Mickey Mouse or a Pink Panther cartoon on a screen,” he says.

Later, he obsessively watched George Romero’s Creepshow in the fourth grade and volunteered to run the projector anytime a teacher showed a filmstrip in class, even convincing them to run the strip backwards, just to see what it looked like.

“I always had a real connection to the plasticity of the medium,” he says with a chuckle.

As he grew older, Cianfrance started making his own shorts: a possessed rubber bat, a spoiled milk public service announcement, “silly things,” he admits.

But silly things added up and when Cianfrance enrolled in the University of Colorado Boulder’s film studies department, those silly things provided a foundation that his professors were able to build on.

“In hindsight, [going to CU] was

How CU turned Derek Cianfrance from a film student into a filmmaker

Boulder Weekly

the best piece of fate or good fortune that I’ve had in my life,” Cianfrance says. “I think it had all to do with the professors, and the people I met there.”

And it didn’t take long for Cianfrance to find his place.

“The very first night there, Jim Palmer (then the director of the Farrand Residential Academic Program) was showing a double feature of Rear Window and Stan Brakhage’s Mothlight,” Cianfrance recalls. “First off, I had only seen narrative films before, so all of a sudden to be seeing Brakhage’s Mothlight on the screen and seeing this flutter of shadow and light, it completely confused me, bewildered me, it just blew my mind and made me realize the possibilities of cinema.”

Made in 1963, Mothlight is one of the highlights of avant-garde cinema and many students’ first taste of what cinema can accomplish beyond narrative and beyond camera. For Cianfrance, it was manna.

“I just soaked it up,” Cianfrance says. “Between Jim Palmer and Phil Solomon, and Brakhage of course.”

A titan of experimental films, Stan Brakhage taught Cianfrance’s film history class, but not in a usual manner.

“I remember him showing us Ivan the Terrible Part II ... telling Pablo [Kjølseth, then Brakhage’s projectionist, now the brains behind the International Film Series] to rack the projector out of focus. So we watched Ivan the Terrible out of focus because Brakhage wanted us to study the collision of shadow and light. ... I learned so much about editing from that, about the collision of edits.”

CU challenged Cianfrance to look and think in different ways.

Although he comes from the tradition of American narrative films like most American filmmakers, his appreciation for the craft deepened thanks to his study under Brakhage and his production professor, Phil Solomon — still one of Cianfrance’s close friends.

“To this day, Phil is my Jiminy Cricket. ... He’s my cinematic conscience,” Cianfrance says. “When I make a movie, when I’m in the editing room — I still work with Jim Helton, whom I met at CU — we still have discussions of what Phil would think about the edit we’re making or what he would think about the idea or the story we’re telling.”

Of all the advice Cianfrance’s Jiminy Cricket provided, Solomon’s dictum: “Form must illuminate content, not the other way around,” has served Cianfrance best. That’s what Solomon told Cianfrance after he saw his first feature, and it still resonates almost two decades later.

Now Cianfrance is at Venice Film Festival with The Light Between Oceans in competition for the Golden Lion.

Thankfully, current students won’t have to wait long; IFS will hold a free sneak preview of The Light Between Oceans on August 30, 7:30 p.m.

Hailing from Houston, Texas, Grifters & Shills are hitting the Laughing Goat this Sunday. The Americana act blends hard rock and heavy metal, with the twangy sounds of their Southern roots.

Grifters & Shills may only contain two members, but between them they play a dozen instruments, perfect for a high energy, captivating show. Their music is rife with modern-day musings, but calls back to a simpler time of lonesome blues and back porch strumming. They’re hitting the stage with their first tour in two years, and the night will surely be one to remember.

Jam

Ralph Arvesen Mac DeMarco channels the offkilter sounds of Harry Nilson, Jonathan Richman and Steely Dan to create his hazy, atmospheric pop. DeMarco has proven prolific, releasing two full studio albums and three mini albums in just four years, not to mention his prior work with Makeout Videotape. His most recent work, 2015’s Another One, is a mini album of love songs, or as DeMarco told NPR, “It’s just kind of like every angle of how somebody might feel if they’re having strange feelings in their chest.” DeMarco joins Leonard Cohen, Peaches and Neil Young in saving Canada from being known as the country that gave us Justin Bieber, Drake and Carly Rae Jepson.

screen Hard not to Laika

‘Kubo and the Two Strings’ is another stop-motion success for the studio

by Ryan Syrek

S

how your work.”

That statement is both an admonition given by rigid mathematics instructors and part of the reason why stop-motion animation continues to captivate. The meticulous, painstaking craft of slowly posing miniature figures requires an effort that simply doesn’t come across when watching computer animation. It’s not to say that the latter doesn’t require intense work and produce quality art, only that the former has a certain hands-on beauty. Kubo and the Two Strings is nothing if not beautiful. Its message may be equal parts repetitive and derivative, but the splendor on display is yet another reason we’re lucky Laika studios continues to do this work.

Kubo (Art Parkinson) is a young boy in ancient Japan who lives in a cave with a mother battling magic-induced dementia, which is notoriously the worst kind.

They are hiding from Kubo’s grandfather, the evil Moon King (Ralph Fiennes), and Kubo’s wicked aunts (both voiced by Rooney Mara). When his location is discovered, Kubo must find three separate parts of a magic suit of armor to defeat the Moon King, with only the help of a talking monkey (Charlize Kubo is a young boy in ancient Japan who lives in Theron) and talking beetle hiding in a cave with his mother. When his location is discovered, Kubo must find three separate parts of a (Matthew McConaughey). magic suit of armor to defeat the Moon King, with only Essentially, the plot is a the help of a talking monkey and talking beetle. video game: defeat several mini-bosses, collect magic rewards and crush the final boss.

At its core, Kubo and the Two Strings is a celebration of storytelling. You know this, because every single character says something about the importance of storytelling almost any time they speak. The moral to this story isn’t a subtly expressed parable; it’s a cudgel used to batter the audience about the head and face. And yet, the artistry at work is so compelling, so imaginative, that the bluntness of the message is unquestionably secondary to the crisp visual poetry.

Early on, Kubo dazzles the villagers in a nearby town by telling a story — hey, there’s that theme again — while using magic music to fold origami puppets and illustrate his tale. Honestly, were the whole film just an extended version of that sequence, it may still qualify as one of the best animated films of the year. The actual battle sequences that occur later throughout are awe-inspiring, especially in context of the animation style used. Watching a monkey fight a chain-whip-wielding witch is only that much more impressive when you realize every tiny action had to be carefully articulated by human hands.

The voice acting, an undervalued component of such endeavors, is hit-andmiss. Theron and Parkinson are great, whereas McConaughey is a distraction to any adults fatigued by his car commercial monologuing. His character is endearing, but his signature drawl yanks those familiar with it from feudal Japan into EDtv. And yet, while watching Kubo, a childlike sense of wonder and an appreciation of legitimate animated artistry dominates. Unquestionably, Laika wants to make money. But you get the sense there’s something more honest and sincere about what they’re attempting than a simple cash grab. So long as they continue to embrace that spirit, Laika will remain at the top of the animated studio food chain.

Newly restored ‘Belladonna of Sadness’ returns to theaters

I

f a revolution could ever be distilled into a ON THE BILL: single image, then let it be Delacroix’s comBelladonna of Sadness. memoration of the French Revolution’s July 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. Aug. 26, 1830 victory, “Liberty Leading the People.”

The Boedecker Theater, 2590 Walnut St., Boulder, The now iconic painting focuses on 303-440-7825, thedairy.org.

Marianne, a woman waving the familiar tricolor flag of the French Revolution. Her dress is torn and her breasts are bare, as are her feet, but she, and liberty, shall not be deterred.

Four hundred years before Marianne waved that flag, a brilliant 19-year-old military tactician was put to death; burned alive at the stake after it was revealed that she was in personal communication with God. Her name was Joan of Arc, and though she was accused of heresy and burned as a witch, Joan would later be deemed a martyr and canonized.

Neither were kind times for women. Many were accused of witchcraft, sorcery and being in league with the devil. How then did such an oppressive and patriarchal culture come to celebrate Marianne and Joan? Even using them as symbols for modern-day France?

Enter Belladonna of Sadness, a Japanese anime from 1973 that attempts to fill in the gaps between woman as victim and woman as liberator. Based on La Sorcière — a medieval history of witchcraft published in 1862 by Jules Michelet — Belladonna of Sadness is animation by genre, painting by execution.

Belladonna is a Freudian fever dream, replete with psychedelic imagery, pornography and a score resembling Miles Davis’s Bitches Brew.

Though Belladonna is animation by genre, it is painting by execution; with the vast majority of the film present in tableau that the camera slowly pans across.

These watercolor images draw inspiration from tarot cards and feature a heavy dose of sexual fantasy. The effect is both morally unsettling and visually arresting.

Belladonna revolves around Jeanne, a French peasant raped by the devil on her wedding night. Unlike Rosemary’s Baby, the act is not to produce a child, but to produce guilt. Guilt that haunts Jeanne in the form of a phallic-shaped trickster that grows larger the more Jeanne grows lustful — lust Jeanne cannot satiate because her husband is both impotent and drunk. He offers little of anything in Jeanne’s struggle between desire and guilt.

Jeanne doesn’t remain a victim for long. When the local lord leads the townsmen off to war, Jeanne uses her sex to seduce the moneylender and take control of the village. When the war ends, the Lord returns to find Jeanne in control and tries to squash her underfoot. It doesn’t work. Jeanne has embraced her role as Persephone and become too powerful. Even putting her to death isn’t sufficient.

Belladonna of Sadness is the third film in an adult-themed anime trilogy, and like the previous two — A Thousand and One Nights and Cleopatra — it’s X-rated and a commercial failure. Apparently going to a movie theater to see naked drawings isn’t as profitable as it sounds, and the production company folded shortly after.

But Belladonna is about much more than sex and nudity on screen. Jeanne’s plight is about as erotic as Marianne’s bare breast and Belladonna is more about the emotions it stirs than the organs it arouses. Proof that there is more to nudity than mere titillation.

Caitlin Rockett

e’ve all been there: Sitting at dinner, surrounded by loved ones, and out comes a basket of bread. Without fail, someone says, “Don’t fill up on bread!”

Right. These folks are well meaning. There’s plenty of other delicious food coming. No need to waste an appetite on carbs.

But I’m giving you permission to ignore that when you order piada bread with burrata at Basta.

The first step to getting this butter drenched, garlic doused, carb-lovers dream is to actually find Basta.

A Google search tells you in no uncertain terms that this is a “hard-to-find but acclaimed eatery.”

Challenge accepted, Google.

Fill up on bread

If you’re using a smart phone map application to guide you there, prepare to be wildly irritated as you find yourself heading west on Arapahoe, in front of The Lofts at Peloton, as that neutral voice tells you, “You have arrived.” The neutrality of the voice takes on a subtle mocking tone after you hear it more than once and still haven’t found the restaurant.

Do not give up.

It only took my dining partner and I two trips around The Lofts at Peloton to see a small sign indicating that Basta is tucked inside the apartment complex. It was dark, so cut us some slack.

Inside is a simple but comfortable setting: a small dining room with beautiful wood-top tables, a cozy bar and a wood-fired oven that turns out, from what I’ve heard, some of the best pizza in Boulder.

Basta has built a winning formula with an everchanging menu centered on seasonal local foods, from produce to cheeses to charcuterie.

“The weather changes the characteristics of our dough,” their website informs. “The seasons change the components of our menu. Our inspirations change the selections of our wine list. We

embrace these changes.”

And so should you.

Basta in Italian (as in Spanish) means “enough.”

But for this restaurant, “enough” seems to mean that what we have right here, in Boulder County, is enough — we need look no further than our backyard to find what we need to create amazing food.

Finally at our destination, with glasses of red wine at hand, my dining partner and I ignored the voices of all the mothers, aunts and well-meaning friends who’ve advised us against filling up on bread and ordered the piada bread with burrata.

Adding the burrata to the order is critical.

Piada bread — sometimes called piadina — is a type of Italian flatbread usually made with white flour, a lipid such as lard or olive oil, salt and water.

Cooked in Basta’s wicked hot oven, the bread obtains those beautiful bubbles that blacken just a bit and add a crisp crunch to the soft bread.

Basta’s piada bread is prepared in a dome like

shape, cut into four rounded pieces with open centers that create perfect pockets in which to stuff cheese — that is why the order of burrata is crucial.

Burrata is The Cheese of the Gods: It’s mozzarella cheese made with fresh cream or butter, which makes the cheese smooth, rich and spreadable.

If you were thinking this sounds like it needs more butter, don’t worry. Basta’s piada bread comes with allium butter, which is butter infused with garlic and scallions. The bread sits in a shallow dish atop allium butter and creamy burrata. Whole cooked cloves of garlic add soft texture and light flavor, and green scallions covering the top finish the bread off with a pop of color.

So, this is your life. Take charge of it: Find Basta, order the piada bread and remind those low-carb champions that you only go ’round once. Life is too short to skip the bread — at least not every time.

Basta. 3601 Arapahoe Ave., Boulder, 303-997-8775.

Crack the ‘egg’ Many Americans regard eggplant as a slightly suspicious foreign invader... until they taste it

I

grew up long ago in the land of eggplant Parmesan. As an Italian Catholic kid in New England, the Friday meatlessmeal rotation featured fried eggplant layered with mozzarella and marinara... along with fish sticks.

Various family members make the dish but everyone knows that my Aunt Josie bakes the best eggplant.

I did not find out until later that this was odd. I discovered that the vast majority of Americans never eat eggplant and reject its texture and taste. Meanwhile, mention eggplant or aubergine to anybody from almost anywhere else in the world, and they break out in a smile. We’re talking about the comfort-food glories of Middle Eastern baba ghanoush, smoky Greek moussaka, Chinese eggplant in garlic sauce, Indian baingan bharta plus caponata and mirza-qasemi.

It was the French dish ratatouille that melted the nasty dining critic’s heart in that great animated film.

Are you a person of the eggplant persuasion? Data from Nielsen suggests that those most

Small, thin-skinned eggplant sold under many names cook faster than their large purple cousins.

NIBBLES from Page 51

likely to be eggplant people are in families with kids at home, are 40 to 49 years old, have college degrees and a household income of about $100,000. Actually, it sounds a bit like Boulder.

Only about 25 percent of the U.S. population is eggplant-friendly and that bubble is concentrated in the Northeast and California. The berry (yes, berry) that is cooked like a vegetable or meat still makes a lot of people very nervous.

Known as “poor people’s meat,” the lowly eggplant is making inroads because of the rising popularity of meatless cuisine and the fact that eggplant’s low in fat, protein, calories and carbohydrates, with lots of fiber. Of course, that depends what you cook the eggplant with since it is a sponge that soaks up twice its weight in tasty stuff. My prediction is that eggplant-based dips such as baba ganoush will be the next hummus after everyone wakes up and realizes they are paying a lot for bean dip.

The easiest way to get familiar with eggplant is to put aside the familiar large, dark purple American and Italian eggplant and get to know their thin-skinned relatives.

To find these more exotic eggplant types, keep an eye out at the farmers’ market and visit Asian and Indian grocers. They appear under a confusion of monikers and are variously referred to as Japanese, Thai, Indian, Chinese and Asian eggplant ranging in shape and color from long, thin and light purple (often used in Thai cuisine) to green or purple and round or egg-shaped. They don’t need to be peeled, and cook more quickly. The skin adds crunch when they are fried.

You can use any of them in the usual dishes but they will have a slightly different texture and taste. For instance, long, thin Asian eggplant isn’t wellsuited to eggplant Parmesan because it gets creamy inside when roasted. The see NIBBLES Page 54

small round ones are great grilled, stuffed and roasted or simmered in tomato or coconut curry sauces.

Try thinly slicing small eggplants and sauteing them in a generous amount of olive oil for about ten minutes over medium high heat. When soft, season with salt and pepper. To make a sandwich, layer the eggplant on a toasted roll or flatbread that has been brushed with marinara sauce. Heavily sprinkle with shredded provolone and grill in an oiled pan or bake in a 400 degree oven until the cheese is melted. Garlic and fresh herbs are always welcome additions along with caramelized onions and pesto sauce.

I’ve always liked the way author Laurie Colwin expressed her deep affection: “I lived on eggplant, the stove top cook’s strongest ally. I fried it and stewed it, and ate it crisp and sludgy, hot and cold. It was cheap and filling and was delicious in all manner of strange combinations. If any was left over, I ate it cold the next day on bread.”

drink Tour de brew: All the brew Dispatches from the Boulder Craft Beer Festival

by Michael J. Casey

O

n August 20, Downtown Boulder Inc. put on their third annual Boulder Craft Beer Festival, and it was a hit. They couldn’t have picked a better day weather-wise, though I doubt they had any say in the matter. And the proximity to the end of summer and the beginning of a new school year brought a certain amount of refinery and community to good old-fashioned day drinking.

The aim of the Boulder Craft Beer Festival was simple: Bring the best breweries from the county — and a few from beyond — to one location and unleash the Boulder masses upon them. Patrons were armed with a large plastic shot glass with a line at the 2-ounce mark — though many breweries treated this line as merely a suggestion — and wandered to whatever brew tent suits their interest. Since all the beer had been included in the price of admission, all the tents suited their interests.

Most breweries offered a choice between two pours, and most of these pours were their heavy hitters. The Boulder Craft Beer Fest is not the place for the odd, but for breweries to grab new customers and for drinkers to discover new breweries.

And, in a manner of speaking, it worked. We set about with the plan to drink from the breweries in our Michael J. Casey blind spot. This meant skipping the Averys and Boulder Beers of the world, and focusing on Shine — one of the few women-owned breweries in the U.S. — Walnut, Sanitas — brewed from organic ingredients — Asher and City Star. All held wonderful gems and deserve full write-ups in future Weeklies.

But, in an odd way, the Boulder Craft Beer Fest wasn’t so much about the breweries — there was little to no interaction between drinker and pourer — or the beer. It was about the people. Boulderites love their craft beer, and with such a vast array of brews under the shadow of the Flatirons, so too are the people who drink them.

That day, West Central Park was loaded with representatives from every age group and niche soaking up sun and suds. Some sported Broncos jerseys, while others were dressed for a night on the town. A few bros in basketball shorts quietly shuffled along, trying to drink off last night’s hangover while a large group of students returning from summer break used the fest as an excuse to catch-up. Two California transplants discussed the clarity of the air and the price of gas, while hippies and hipsters politely stood next to each other in line, both munching on pretzel necklaces. One girl ran back and forth between lines, introducing no less than 20 people to one another.

On the stage, The Heartstring Hunters strummed alternative folk music as a middle aged man approached the table at West Flanders, saw the brewers bag of chips and claimed them for his own. When his friend informed him that he just stole someone’s chips, the potato thief shrugged and casually replied: “Ask for forgiveness, not permission.”

Just beyond the green grass, the beer tents, the live music, the food trucks and the portable toilets was a chain-link fence penning us all in. It was a boozy petting zoo for adults, and we were the attraction.

ARIES

MARCH 21-APRIL 19: In the coming weeks, I hope you

won’t scream curses at the rain, demanding that it stop falling on you. Similarly, I suggest you refrain from punching walls that seem to be hemming you in, and I beg you not to spit into the wind when it’s blowing in your face. Here’s an oracle about how to avoid counterproductive behavior like that: The near future will bring you useful challenges and uncanny blessings if you’re willing to consider the possibility that everything coming your way will in some sense be an opportunity.

TAURUS

APRIL 20-MAY 20:Oh how I wish you might receive

the grace of being pampered and nurtured and entertained and prayed for. I’d love for you to assemble a throng of nostrings-attached caretakers who would devote themselves to stoking your healing and delight. Maybe they’d sing to you as they gave you a manicure and massaged your feet and paid your bills. Or perhaps they would cook you a gourmet meal and clean your house as they told you stories about how beautiful you are and all the great things you’re going to do in the future. Is it possible to arrange something like that even on a modest scale, Taurus? You’re in a phase of your astrological cycle when you most need this kind of doting attention — and when you have the greatest power to make it happen.

GEMINI

MAY 21-JUNE 20: I invite you to dream about your true

home ... your sweet, energizing, love-strong home ... the home where you can be high and deep, robust and tender, flexible and rigorous ... the home where you are the person that you promised yourself you could be. To stimulate and enhance your brainstorms about your true home, experiment with the following activities: Feed your roots ... do maintenance work on your power spot ... cherish and foster your sources ... and refine the magic that makes you feel free. Can you handle one more set of tasks designed to enhance your domestic bliss? Tend to your web of close allies ... take care of what takes care of you ... and adore the intimate connections that serve as your foundation.

CANCER

JUNE 21-JULY 22: It’ll be one of those rapid-fire,

adjust-on-the-fly, think-on-your-feet, go-with-your-gut times for you — a head-spinning, endorphin-generating, eye-pleasing, intelligence-boosting phase when you will have opportunities to relinquish your attachments to status quos that don’t serve you. Got all that, Cancerian? There’ll be a lot of stimuli to absorb and integrate — and luckily for you, absorbing and integrating a lot of stimuli will be your specialty. I’m confident of your ability to get the most of upcoming encounters with cute provocations, pleasant agitation and useful unpredictability. One more tip: Be vigilant

LEO

JULY 23-AUG. 22: At the risk of asking too much and

pushing too hard, my Guerrilla Prayer Warriors have been begging God to send you some major financial mojo. These fierce supplicants have even gone so far as to suggest to the Supreme Being that maybe She could help you win the lottery or find a roll of big bills lying in the gutter or be granted a magic wish by an unexpected benefactor. “Whatever works!” is their mantra. Looking at the astrological omens, I’m not sure that the Prayer Warriors’ extreme attempts will be effective. But the possibility that they will be is definitely greater than usual. To boost your odds, I suggest you get more organized and better educated about your money matters. Set a clear intention about the changes you’d like to put in motion during the next 10 months.

VIRGO

AUG. 23-SEPT. 22: Suggested experiments: 1. Take a vow

that from now on you won’t hide your beauty. 2. Strike a deal with your inner king or inner queen, guaranteeing that this regal part of gets regular free expression. 3. Converse with your Future Self about how the two of you might collaborate to fully unleash the refined potency of your emotional intelligence. 4. In meditations and dreams, ask your ancestors how you can more completely access and activate your dormant potentials.

DEC. 22-JAN. 19: The

cosmos seems to be warming up to your charms.

The stinginess it displayed toward you for a while is giving way to a more generous approach. To take advantage of this welcome development, you should shed any fear-based beliefs you may have adopted during the recent shrinkage. For instance, it’s possible you’ve begun to entertain the theory that the game of life is rigged against you, or that it is inherently hard to play. Get rid of those ideas. They’re not true, and clinging to them would limit the game of life’s power to bring you new invitations.

Open yourself up wherever you have closed down.

NOV. 22-DEC. 21: The odds are higher than usual that you will be offered a boost or promotion in the coming weeks. This development is especially likely to occur in the job you’re doing or the career plans you’ve been pursuing. It could also be a factor at work in your spiritual life. You may discover a new teacher or teaching that could lift you to the next phase of your inner quest.

There’s even a chance that you’ll get an upgrade on both fronts. So it’s probably a good time to check on whether you’re harboring any obstacles to success. If you find that you are, DESTROY THOSE RANCID OLD MENTAL

AQUARIUS

JAN. 20-FEB. 18: Are any of your allies acting like they’ve

forgotten their true purpose? If so, you have the power to gently awaken them from their trances and help them refocus. Is it possible you have become a bit too susceptible to the influences of people whose opinions shouldn’t really matter that much to you? If so, now is a good time to correct that aberration. Are you aware of having fallen under the sway of trendy ideas or faddish emotions that are distorting your relationship with your primal sources? If so, you are hereby authorized to free yourself from their hold on you.

PISCES

FEB. 19-MARCH 20: Now would be a favorable time to reveal that you are in fact a gay socialist witch who believes good poetry provides a more reliable way to understand reality than the opinions of media pundits — unless, of course, you are not a gay socialist witch, etc., in which case you shouldn’t say you are. But I do advise you to consider disclosing as much as possible of your true nature to anyone with whom you plan to be intimately linked in the future and who is missing important information about you. It’s high time to experiment with being more completely yourself.

DEAR READERS: This is the final week of my summer vacation — but you’ve been getting a new column every week I’ve been gone, all of them written

by Dan Savage, none of them written by me.

Our final guest Dan Savage is an independent designer, illustrator and animation director based in Brooklyn, New York. He created Yule Log 2.0 (watchyulelog.com), a collaborative art project where animators around the world reimagine the famous Yule log fireplace. He has worked with the New York Times, Herman Miller and Google, he’s taught design and animation at NYU and SVA, and he’s won a bunch of design industry awards you probably haven’t heard of.

“I was excited to do this, even though I have no authority on the topic,” Daniel Savage says. “But I surprisingly felt pretty confident in my answers, as ridiculous as they may be.”

Dear Dan: I’m a 41-year-old straight woman who stayed a virgin way longer than I should have (thank you, church and cultural slut shaming). I wasn’t 100 percent “good,” i.e., I was one of those “not PIV = not really sex” girls, so I indulged in outercourse and other “cheats.” When I finally realized that “not until marriage” wasn’t working for me and did the real thing, I discovered I loved it. Go me, right?

Boulder Weekly

SAVAGE

by Dan Savage

Unfortunately, I’m not good at dating, so I usually go a long time between relationships. The relationship I’m in now is the first one I’ve had in two years. “Guy” is nice to me — calls me beautiful, sticks up for me, comes to watch me play with a community orchestra (my own family and friends don’t even come to my shows). But we don’t have much in common (hobbies, political outlook, religious beliefs) and sometimes our conversations feel labored. But that’s okay, right?

At least I’m getting my sexual needs met, right? Well, no. Every single time we’ve tried to have sex, Guy either can’t get hard or stays hard for only a few minutes. I’ve tried going down on him, using my hands, different positions — nothing works. He’s never had an orgasm with me. We don’t even kiss that much. I don’t say anything because I don’t want to hurt his feelings and because I’m really grateful to him for wanting to be with me and being nice to me. He says sorry and that he’s asked the doctor about it, but we don’t get anywhere. It feels lonelier than when I was single. To be blunt, I don’t want to date him anymore.

But I feel too guilty to break up with him.

Love

He really cares about me, and he didn’t do anything wrong. We’ve dated for four months, and I don’t know if I’m giving up too soon. Where would I be if previous boyfriends had ditched me for being inexperienced instead of showing me the ropes?

Don’t I owe Guy the same thing?

— Too Down To Be Witty Dear TDTBW: First off, I think a long time between relationships is good.

I also think not having things in common can be okay if you create new hobbies and experiences you can share.

Having said that, TDTBW, four months is plenty of time to know if it’s working.

He sounds super boring. The sooner you break it off with him the better. You don’t want to hurt him any more than you have to, especially if he’s really into you, and the longer you draw it out, the more it’s going to hurt. No amount of “training” is going to get this dude hard.

The only rope being shown here is his flaccid ding-dong. It doesn’t seem like you even want to be his friend if you broke up.

I wouldn’t feel guilty at all about

dumping him. Sometimes you gotta think about number one.

Dear Dan: My girl and I are both 26, and we opened up our marriage. Now I’ve got a girlfriend with whom I am getting to have some of the kinky fun that was lacking at home. Here is my question: Things are really casual between me and this new girl.

I want to do some pegging, but I don’t know who should buy the strap-on? Me, because it’s my ass and my idea? Or her, because she would wear it and would also think it was super hot? Should I buy the dildo and she buys the harness? Going halfsies on the whole rig? What is the equitable way of doing this?

— Purchasing Erotic Gear Good Etiquette, Dan? Dear PEGGED: You’re 26 years old, PEGGED, buy the damn thing. How much could it possibly cost? I know if I were in your situation, I would want full control over what goes up my ass. If she owns it, would she use it while you weren’t around? With strangers? No thanks. Plus if you split the cost, who gets to keep it when you break up? Just buy it and enjoy. If you struggle with picking it out, might I suggest starting small?

From weed to wine: Keeping the Marijuana farm small and local

I

n November, voters in as many as 12 states will see a marijuana legalization initiative on their ballots.

Marijuana is already legal for recreational use in Alaska, Colorado, Oregon, Washington and Washington, D.C. Another 25 states have legalized medical marijuana, including Hawaii. The era of marijuana prohibition is rapidly coming to a close.

Unfortunately, lawmakers lack easy answers to tough questions facing the marijuana industry.

Legalization presents challenges on a number of fronts, including distribution, taxation, consumption, security and public health.

Recently, I have argued that the agricultural sector of the marijuana industry also presents a number of challenges. One paramount question looms over the rest: Will marijuana agriculture become consolidated, with “Big Marijuana” companies producing vast quantities of indistinct marijuana? Or, will small-scale farmers thrive by producing unique and local marijuana strains?

My research shows that Big Marijuana is not inevitable. On the contrary, a local, sustainable, small-scale farming future is entirely within reach.

Marijuana agriculture in the United States is currently dominated by small-scale farmers. Staying small allows farmers to stay under the radar of federal officials. When the federal prohibition is lifted, however, many people assume the free market will push these farmers out of business. As large farms producing cheap marijuana drive prices down, small-scale farming may no longer be profitable.

As one recent study put it, “legalizing marijuana opens the market to major corporations, including tobacco companies, which have the financial resources, product design technology ... marketing muscle, and political clout to transform the marijuana market.”

Some states have already taken measures to protect small-scale farmers, and prevent a Big Marijuana takeover.

But there is reason to doubt the inevitability of Big Marijuana. To begin with, it’s not clear the marijuana plant is capable of large-scale cultivation.

“Marijuana” is a catch-all term for the hundreds of individual strains of the Cannabis sativa plant species. Each strain has unique cultivation needs, and

yields a product with unique characteristics.

Marijuana farmers have told me that many of these strains are notoriously high maintenance. It would be difficult to mass-produce these strains without a noticeable drop in quality.

There’s little reason to believe marijuana agriculture will operate in a completely free-market environment, either. Many states are wary of letting big corporations take over the marijuana industry. California’s Blue Ribbon Commission on Marijuana Policy recommends “a highly regulated market ... not an unregulated free market; this industry should not be California’s next Gold Rush.”

And, “the goal should be to prevent the growth of a large, corporate marijuana industry dominated by a small number of players.” Some states have already taken measures to protect small-scale farmers, and prevent a Big Marijuana takeover. California, for example, limits the maximum canopy size of a marijuana farm to 1 acre, which is minuscule compared to most American farm crops.

Many people might be uncomfortable with the mainstreaming of marijuana, but spreading the opportunities and benefits to many, rather than a powerful few, might make it easier for politicians and their constituents to make peace with legalization.

If a local, sustainable, small-scale vision of marijuana agriculture is possible, how can it be made a reality?

I argue that farmers, regulators and consumers may benefit from adopting the wine industry’s organizational model, known as the appellation system.

An appellation is a legally protected designation that is applied to a product to indicate the geographic region where it was created.

For example, when a wine label says the wine comes from Napa County, you can be confident it actually did. Some appellations — in Europe, for example — also enforce quality standards or cultivation methods. Under U.S. law, wine appellations typically speak only to the place of origin, but in theory an appellation system can do much more. In the U.S., appellations can take the form of a micro-region, county, state or group of states. There are 236 active wine appellations in the United States today Appellations can add value to the marijuana industry

Come see us: 1 BROADWAY, A150 DENVER, CO 80203 (previously occupied by Denver Relief)

Boulder Weekly

in several ways. Appellations provide a legally protected designation of origin, differentiating local products from generic products. That helps protect local farmers and farming communities from the threat of cheap marijuana flooding the market, because the products are no longer the same. Some appellations, like those in Europe, can also encourage farmers in each region to work out issues together by setting rules and standards for cultivation that maintain the product’s quality and reputation. Also, as in the wine industry, appellations may promote agrotourism in marijuana farming communities.

For example, micro-regions of Mendocino County, California, have been proposed as cannabis cultivation appellations. Farmers hope these designations will promote tourism and enhance their brand.

For the consumer, designations of origin provide transparency and protection. In the prohibition era, most marijuana transactions took place on the street.

Consumers typically had no idea where their marijuana came from. Chances were good it came from Mexican cartels.

But now that American farmers are supplying consumers with quality marijuana, a certified designation of origin would provide some measure of transparency by relaying important information to the consumer. By keeping unique products in the marketplace, appellations also provide consumers with more options to suit their medicinal or recreational needs.

Marijuana appellations are not a panacea, and it will be challenging to implement and enforce “cannabicultural” designations of origin nationwide as long as a federal marijuana prohibition is in place. But at a time when lawmakers are scrambling to put regulations in place, appellations may provide the organizational structure needed to make sure marijuana agriculture remains safe and sustainable.

O

n Nov. 6, 2012 the people of Colorado decisively voted to legalize recreational marijuana. Amendment 64 passed with 55.3 percent of the vote.

In Boulder County Amendment 64 received 66.4 percent of the vote. The margin in the City of Boulder was even higher.

But you would never know it by the cavalier way County and City elected leaders have chosen to “regulate” marijuana growers in the ensuing four years.

Start with Boulder County. Shortly after the passage of Amendment 64 the Boulder County Commissioners voted to ban commercial marijuana production in the agricultural areas of Boulder County.

The ban applied to both outdoor and indoor production.

The ban on indoor marijuana production included production in commercial greenhouses. The last was a doubling down on a previous prohibition: Boulder County has rejected the construction of new commercial greenhouses in its agricultural areas for years.

The rationale for the ban was that marijuana production was more like an industrial activity than an agricultural one — which is true if growers are forbidden from growing their crops either outdoors or in greenhouses.

The result of this conveniently circular argument was that marijuana production in Boulder was ghettoized into warehouses.

One consequence of this is that marijuana producers have become voracious consumers of electricity — most of which is produced by burning coal or natural gas of course.

County government is given to over-regulating nearly everything, and the marijuana industry is no exception. Still, marijuana companies in the unincorporated areas count themselves lucky to be in

Treating marijuana producers like dirt the County, because compared to the City of Boulder’s regulatory practices, doing business in Boulder County is like being in Galt’s Gulch.

So imagine the consternation last week when the City of Boulder announced it was going to annex a clutch of warehouses in an enclave along 55th Street north of Arapahoe where 15 marijuana businesses are ghettoized.

If annexed, the businesses will have to obtain new licenses from the City of Boulder, a process that could take months, and then comply with the City’s considerably stricter (and pettier) regulations.

Strictly speaking, they could be shut down the day they are annexed and not allowed to operate until they come into compliance.

How difficult might that be? Dan Anglin, President of Americanna, said he has identified more than 30 city regulations that could immediately him shut down if he’s annexed — including for having the wrong color tile on the floor.

An assistant city attorney says the city will find

a way to allow the businesses to function until they can obtain new licenses, but it is cheerfully prepared to proceed with the annexation without having one in place.

The businesses and property owners were told on Friday, Aug. 12 that the proposed annexation would be considered by the City’s Planning Board on the following Thursday, so that the City Council could act on it by Sept. 6.

The City of Boulder routinely ties itself in knots with public process that moves at a glacial pace. So why the rush?

Because the annexation has something to do with Boulder’s plan to create a municipal electric utility, but it isn’t clear what. However, annexing the properties would clearly have the effect of broadening the putative utility’s revenue base by bringing in some of the largest electric consumers in the Boulder Valley, which might make a scheme whose economics have always looked dodgy somewhat more viable.

I can’t imagine non-marijuana businesses being treated this shabbily.

Both the City of Boulder and Boulder County elected officials talk a good game about “sustainability,” but the way they treat the marijuana industry makes a mockery of their claims.

The way to create a more “sustainable” marijuana industry is for Boulder County to repeal its irrational ban on marijuana production in the county’s rural areas and its equally irrational ban on commercial greenhouses and encourage producers to use the sun for most of their lighting needs.

As for the City’s rush to annex the marijuana businesses, if the only way it can make its municipalization numbers work is by a forced annexation of people who have been forced to be profligate electricity consumers, maybe it needs to look at the propriety and morality of the entire exercise.

AVOID THE RUSH, START HATING THESE PEOPLE NOW

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

THE JOYS OF THE INTERNET

If you were walking down the street this morning, whistling a tune, kicking up your heels, marvelling at all the faith you have for humanity, then you obviously haven’t visited lesliejones.com today.

Rotten Tomatoes Actress and SNL cast member, Leslie Jones, like the majority of humans today, has a website where fans and newcomers alike can familiarize themselves with her work.

Well if you visited her website on Wednesday, you’d be privy to Jones’ passport information, driver’s license and naked pictures. Hackers also leaked other personal information of Jones and a video was reportedly posted of Harambre, the gorilla who was shot at the Cincinnati Zoo. Unfortunately this isn’t the first

time Jones has been victim to “internet trolls,” which we more accurately call “the scum of the Earth.” A few months ago, while promoting the allfemale Ghostbusters remake, Jones’ Twitter was inundated with racist, sexist comments, with someone going so far as to Photoshop a picture of Jones with semen on her face.

All the backlash because she, a black woman, dared to star in a remake of a silly ’80s movie.

The internet has always been a safe space for women, especially women of color. Wait, did we say always? We meant never. Faceless parasites feel the need to destroy women because nothing else can awaken their small, dead loins the same way as racist remarks and death threats can.

Ain’t humanity great?

Remember that giant turd-ball of a CEO who raised the price on a lifesaving AIDS drug from $13 to $750 just so he would have more money to buy fancy cars and party. His name was Martin Shkreli and he sucks as a human being. But he isn’t alone. And this time it’s even more disgusting because it’s all about politics.

So you’ve heard of EpiPens, right? It’s the little lifesaving device full of medicine to counter allergic reactions to bee stings and some foods.

For kids and adults with these life-threatening allergies, an EpiPen is a miracle.

Enter the politics.

So Mylan, the company that makes the EpiPen, is run by its CEO, Heather Bresch who just happens to be the daughter of Democratic Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia. So follow this little tale. First Bresch and her company use their obvious influence to push through legislation that forced schools to have EpiPens on site. No problem there. It makes sense to have

them around to save the life of some kid whose family can’t afford for them to keep one in their pocket at all times.

But then, after it is legislated that we tax payers have to spring for putting the EpiPens in schools, Bresch and her company raised the price from $57 to more than $600 without the slightest justification other than they could.

And now for the really disgusting part.

Political observers are already talking about how difficult it may be for Congress to investigate this travesty because they don’t want to embarrass one of their own. Embarrass?

How about tar and feather, and go ahead and include that remedy for any other gutless elected official who even considers hesitating to walk back this corporate raping of taxpayers and vulnerable people who depend on EpiPens to keep them alive.

The only thing embarrassing about this situation is that none of these corporate extortionists or their political enablers will ever see the inside of a prison cell. And that is what they deserve.
