n 1992, Ross Perot chose a complete unknown to be his presidential running mate. In his first debate, the VP candidate began by asking a question: “Who am I? Why am I here?” The same should be asked about Carly Fiorina, the Republican presidential contender who has surged in recent polls of GOP primary voters. Her cam-

paign is positioning her as a no-nonsense, successful corporate chieftain who can run government with business-like efficiency. In a recent debate, Fiorina rattled off a list of her accomplishments as CEO of Hewlett-Packard, the hightech conglomerate; “We doubled the size of the company; quadrupled its topline growth rate; quadrupled its cash flow; tripled its rate of innovations,” she declared in power-point style. Statistics, however, can be a sophisticated way of lying. In fact, the growth she bragged about was mostly the result of her buying another computer giant in a merger that proved to be disastrous. Hewlett-Packard’s profits declined 40 percent in her six years, its stock price plummeted, and she fired 30,000 workers even saying publicly that their jobs should be shipped overseas. Finally, she was fired. Before we accept her claim that “running government like a business”

would be a positive, note that the narcissistic corporate culture richly rewarded Fiorina for failure. Yes, she was fired, but unlike the thousands of HP employees she dumped, a golden parachute was provided to let her land in luxury — counting severance pay, stock options, and pension, she was given $42 million to go away. But, here she comes again. Lacking even one iota of humility, this personification of corporate greed and economic inequality is now throwing out a blizzard of lies to hide who she is and to bamboozle Republicans into thinking she belongs in the White House.

he ballots go out on October 12. That’s when the shitstorm begins. The opponents of Ballot Measures 300 and 301 (the Livable Boulder initiatives), which would allow residents of neighborhoods to vote on zoning changes that affect their neighborhoods (Measure 300) and require new growth to pay its own way

miasma of Volkswagen diesel emissions. Chances are there will also be newspaper advertising, magazine advertising, radio advertising, television advertising, bus poster advertising, milk carton advertising, subliminal advertising and telepathic advertising. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. It’s a free country. The opponents of Measures 300 and 301 have a right to raise and spend as much money as they want to make their views known on the initiatives — as do the opponents. But what the supporters — and the voters –— need to be mindful of is that when one side in a political campaign has an overwhelming financial advantage there is a real chance it can win, not on the strength of its arguments, but by drowning out the other side and preventing it from getting a word in edgewise. Or by misrepresenting the other side’s position and arguments and drowning out its attempts to respond. The supporters of the Livable Boulder initiatives need to be aware that there is a good chance this could happen to them. To avoid getting blown away they need to have the resources 1) to get their side of the argument before the voters, 2) to respond immediately and forcefully to opposition attacks, and 3) to counter-attack. If you’re a supporter of the Livable Boulder initiatives who has already given to the campaign, now is the time to double down. If you’re a supporter of the initiatives who hasn’t contributed, now is the time to get some skin in the game. Assuming you don’t want to lose, that is. Which you will if you don’t ante up. OK, so much for money. The more interesting question is how will the opponents of the initiatives attack them and how should those attacks be countered. The classic way to defeat citizen-initiated ballot measures is the old sow the seeds of doubt strategy by raising questions about what’s in the initiatives and about what they will do if passed. As real estate lawyer Ed Byrne did in his op-ed piece in last Sunday’s Daily Camera (Sept. 27, 2015) when he referred to the measures as “risky and untried” and alleged that they would “delegate zoning authority down to the neighborhood level.” He also claims that “pasting unprecedented neighborhood powers to exclude development into Boulder’s charter to exclude development will generate lawsuits, set neighborhoods against each other, and Balkanize our community.” see DANISH PLAN Page 10

letters Correction: Last week’s News story “Campaign contributions, elections and the bureaucratic calendar” (Sept. 24), incorrectly referred to Rep. Mike Foote as Sen. Mike Foot and he sits on the House State Affairs Committee, not the Senate State Affairs Committee. We apologize for any confusion.

Community Rights

I would like to add to the comments about the community rights vs. fracking issue, alluded to by Cliff Willmeng and Kate Toan [Re: “Passion without logic is bad” and “Fracking problem fix,” Letters, Sept. 24] I don’t believe the public at large is aware of the tectonic political forces that are involved here, which have consequences for humanity for its foreseeable future, but particularly in the 21st century, and how they will have the opportunity to partake in one of the most meaningful political votes in their lives, should the Colorado Community Rights Network prevail in getting their measure placed on the state ballot in 2016 — which I fully expect they will do. So some further public discussion is much warranted. I fully support the community rights approach, which I arrived at after years of study of this issue. I was part of the 2011 campaign that resulted in the adoption of a resolution by the city of Boulder, where it was agreed that there should be a constitutional amendment that states only natural persons should be entitled to constitution a rights, and that money is not speech. This passed by a 73 percent majority... enough said about that. But this was only a resolution, with no binding legal consequences. The community rights strategy is focused on taking on this legal battle with corporations to the next level: bringing public awareness to the fact that allowing corporate rights to supersede the rights of individuals and communities is wrong, both morally, legally and politically. We will be witnessing how much our political system has been badly skewed by allowing unlimited amounts of money into politics in this next presidential cycle, and what a disastrous and misguided legal direction this has been. Community rights is a far sighted legal strategy to begin this long process. Far from the claim of Ms. Toan, that the aspirations of advocates of community rights are “designed to fail,” I would say that the advocates of community rights are attempting to correct a deep injustice that many of the American public would welcome. Boulder Weekly

The unfortunate reality is that this reality seems hidden from many of them, locked as it is inside a judicial system far distanced from public discussion... which is just the way the corporate ruling class, including state level political operatives, would wish it to remain. In the interest of further positive public discussion, I would encourage Ms. Toan, and others interested, to

attend the Democracy School, happening in Denver, October 23 and 24, hosted by the Colorado Community Rights Network, and find out what community rights is really about. Rick Casey

‘Cornucopia of hylic Scientism’

Thank you so much for that James Randi-esque cornucopia of hylic

Scientism [Re: “A logical explanation,” Buzz, Sept. 24]. Whatever would I do without another predictable dose of confirmation bias. I am comforted to know that one more perilous paradigm shift was averted. Digging the highbrow contributions by Boulder Weekly. You’re giving me perspectives I’ve never heard before!

6 MAYORS URGE YOU TO VOTE NO ON 300 & 301 “Ballot issues 300 and 301 are perhaps the worst local public policy measures I have seen in 20 years. These divisive and exclusionary measures would have adverse impacts on our environment, housing affordability and our community decision making.” -Will Toor “These ballot issues go too far! They are like the TABOR amendment that has burdened our state constitution. They insert language into the city’s constitutional charter that will have unintended consequences. The City Attorney has recommended halting all building permits if the amendments pass.” -Leslie Durgin “A solid tax base depends on the business community to responsibly expand, and that requires fairness and certainty in our City regulations. These ballot issues would insert confusion and chaos into our planning, leading employers to go elsewhere when they envision locating in Boulder or expanding their local operations.” -Bob Greenlee

“I strongly oppose initiatives 300 and 301 because they will work directly against Boulder’s long-standing goal of creating an open, inclusive, and sustainable community. The impact on our ability to provide affordable housing will be particularly devastating.” -Mark Ruzzin “The ballot measures are vague with no clear direction. Once in the City Charter they cannot be remedied. Legal clarification will be needed and probably for each occurrence.” -Linda Jourgensen “Even the proponents of ballot issue 300, what I call ‘The Gated Community Act’, and ballot issue 301 agree the language is unclear. Who will have to figure out what the new language means? The answer is: more costly City staff, more regulations, more neighborhood arguments and more lawsuits. These ballot issues are wrong for Boulder, please vote No.” -Matt Appelbaum

2015 Kick it off

t’s that time of year again; time to stop whining about what is or isn’t being done about growth or education, right sizing or historical preservation, affordable housing, bike paths, open space or whatever it is that’s piqued your political interest over the last couple of years. It’s time to stop complaining because it’s time to start voting, or at least getting ready to vote. Ballots are headed your way sometime between October 12 and 16. So before you pull that lever … I mean, check that box (voting was more fun when it felt like Vegas) there’s just enough time to get up to speed on all the important issues that are, or will be, impacting your community in the coming days, as well as learn more about all the well-intentioned women and men who have put their names on this year’s ballot. When we say “all,” we mean all. There are 64 people running for something this election cycle in Boulder County, and we have spent weeks getting to know each of them as best we can so that when we make our endorsements on October 8, you can rest assured that, even if you disagree with us, we did our homework. It seems like we say this every year but it’s true: we are impressed by the quality and character of the many people who are willing to give up countless hours sitting on councils or boards in an effort to make our communities and education systems better. We obviously think that some have better visions for the future or more relevant experience than others, but they are all deserving of our appreciation. Here at BW, we believe that we can best serve you, our readers, not only by providing endorsements, but also by providing information on candidates and ballot initiatives as well. An informed electorate is the key to a vibrant and effective democracy. With that said, we hereby kick off our 2015 election coverage by providing a little insight into the candidates running in the county’s most crowded race. An impressive 18 names are on the ballot for five City Council positions in Boulder. Seventeen of those folks are 12 October 1, 2015

Do you support 2N, a tax on short-term rentals?

by Joel Dyer actually running for office while one, Logan Wolff, apparently got his name on the ballot but is now not interested in being on council. So if it’s a protest vote you want to cast, Logan’s your man. As for the other 17, they are a diverse lot with many passions and ideas. Once again this year, Boulder Weekly participated in The Blue Line candidate survey wherein a variety of local organizations came up with questions for candidates to answer. Eventually, our hundreds of questions were culled to the final 70, which were submitted to the candidates. All but three candidates (not counting Mr. Wolff ) completed and returned The Blue Line survey. Those not returning a survey were Ed Jabari, Don Cote and Jared Kaszuba. For obvious space limitations, we can’t reproduce the entire 70-question Blue Line survey. If you want to read the entire survey — which we highly recommend — you can go to www.boulderblueline.org and click on election 2015. What we have provided here are the candidates answers to 10 of the Blue Line questions that we believe hit on several of the hot-button issues that will be driving voters to the polls. In an effort to be fair, after we narrowed our questions to these 10, we once again requested answers from the three candidates who didn’t fill out the entire Blue Line survey. Ed Jabari and Don Cote then provided answers to the 10 questions and have been included here as a result. Jared Kaszuba did not, which explains his exclusion. Our election coverage will continue right up to November 3, so keep reading and don’t get in a hurry to mail that ballot back in. It seems that every year, something turns up in the last few weeks before Election Day that changes public opinion on a candidate or an issue. Don’t be that first-week-mail-in voter who checks the box for the school board candidate who later gets exposed as part of a Koch brothers board takeover. Patience is a virtue this time of year. The following answers came from the candidates and Boulder Weekly has not edited them in any fashion.

Do you support 300, the Neighborhoods’ Right to Vote charter amendment? Do you support 301, the New Development Shall Pay Its Own Way charter amendment? Do you support the municipalization of Boulder’s electric utility? Should City Council members continue to be elected at large? Do you support making the City Attorney an elected position? Should the 2015 Comprehensive Plan update include how big Boulder should be and how fast it should build out?

QUESTION 8.

Which of the following statements about Boulder’s housing prices rings true to you? Select all that apply: • Boulder now has more jobs than residents. We must address the jobs/ pop balance in order to address housing prices. • We don’t have enough supply. If we can add more units prices will fall. It’s a supply-side question. • Boulder has inelastic demand. We can’t add enough units to meet demand sufficiently to reduce prices. • The city should ask CU to be part of the solution and build on-campus housing for each student increase.

QUESTION 9.

What do you think constitutes success on Folsom for commuters, residents and businesses?

QUESTION 10.

What would you propose as a solution to the tens of thousands of incommuters that could be implemented in the near term?

Boulder now has more jobs than residents. We must address the jobs/pop balance in order to address housing prices.;We don’t have enough supply. If we can add more units prices will fall. It’s a supply-side question. The city should ask CU to be part of the solution and build oncampus housing for each student increase.

Success for this project, in my opinion, would be figuring out how to make the bike lanes safer than before and maintaining or improving access to businesses, without increasing vehicular traffic or commute times.

I believe better service routes/schedules, more park-n-rides outside of town, and improved access to the regional public transportation, for example through a free or equitably priced regional Eco Pass for all Boulder employees, would make a significant difference. Longerterm solutions must include more truly affordable housing. Boulder’s affordable housing goals and definitions must be reviewed and updated, because median incomes are rising and already up to 40% of the people that work in Boulder may not be able to afford even the “affordable” units. I would also advocate for the Northwest Rail to be completed in the next 10 years.

QUESTION 9. What do you think constitutes success on Folsom for commuters, residents and businesses?

Success would be car, bike and pedestrian traffic moving safely through the corridor without significant delay. My hope is we can get to that point with the changes the city is currently making to the bike lane project. If not, we can look at larger changes to the corridor like replacing the medians south of Pine Street.

Some percentage (200%?) more bikers would constitute success in our goal to get more people biking. This would help us accomplish our Transportation Master Plan & climate objectives. However, we must measure the overall car traffic on alternative roads to ensure we haven’t increased idle and wait time, which would negate what we accomplished on Folsom. In regards to commuters and residents, we must ensure what we have set up is not more dangerous to bikers or drivers than what we had before, as some people are complaining about the safety. In my initial survey of businesses, they haven’t lost business, but their customers are complaining. As with all change, it takes people awhile to get used to it.

Ease of movement—speed, minimal distractions—without lengthy wait times; safety; ease of access and ingress.

QUESTION 10. What would you propose as a solution to the tens of thousands of incommuters that could be implemented in the near term?

There is no one solution to this issue, it needs to be tackled from a number of different angles. We need to improve our regional transit so that we have better bus connections along US 36, to East Boulder County and to Longmont. That means increased frequency of service, as well as new bus rapid transit to East County and Longmont. We also need to advocate for quicker implementation of the commuter train line to Denver and Longmont. We should add also some new housing in town, particularly housing types that are attractive to families such as town homes. We can’t house every incommuter, but if we work on converting our old strip malls along 28th and 30th Streets to mixed-use neighborhoods that are predominantly residential we can make a dent in the problem.

Given that RTD hasn’t met their Fastracks commitments, I feel we should negotiate hard with them to provide regional bus service with greater frequency and quality to meet the needs of commuters on the high frequency routes (36, Diagonal, Arapahoe, etc.). RTD should continue to meet our needs within the community (downtown to Boulder Junction and other areas of high employment). In addition, we should begin to explore options with our neighboring cities for other regional transport districts to augment RTD’s service.

In the near term, use a carrot and have employers pay employees not to drive which would encourage ride sharing and bus ridership. Raise parking rates for employees so that the carrot carries greater incentive. This was done by Stanford U

QUESTION 9. What do you think constitutes success on Folsom for commuters, residents and businesses?

More bikers, Measured reduction of footprint People are/ feel safe Our businesses are innovative, they’ll be ok, ain’t worrying.

The City’s Transportation Master Plan provides a guide for reaching Boulder’s transportation and climate goals; a key element is promoting multi-modal travel by experimenting with best practices—such as creating buffered bike lanes to entice timid bikers and increase bike ridership, as well as improve travel safety for all. A Folsom success would include: a significant increase in bike use; reduction in close calls and crashes; and good traffic flow with minimal or “acceptable” delays during rush hours. We have also learned valuable lessons from this pilot—including the need for more extensive public process, and better data gathering and presentation—which should be integrated into any future projects. We should continue to collect more data and feedback before deciding whether the project is is reaching its goals, and should be altered, made permanent, or dismantled.

At this time I do not support rightsizing on Folsom. Because there is little in the way of established goals, good data, and sense of impact on neighboring streets, it is unclear that anyone truly knows the originally planned measure of success. Therefore, it is hard to measure if the project is achieving success.

QUESTION 10. What would you propose as a solution to the tens of thousands of incommuters that could be implemented in the near term?

In the near try right size, encourage bus carpool or other alternatives, educate. In the long positive density to make fewer of them travelers.

We should work to significantly reduce the number of single occupancy vehicles driven into Boulder every workday in a variety of ways. Bus Rapid Transit will soon provide one of the fastest and most sustainable travel modes along Highway 36, and we should also pursue BRT along the Diagonal to Longmont, and Highway 7. To incentivize bus ridership by commuters, we should continue exploring a County-wide EcoPass program to put a transit pass in the hands of every Boulder employee (and resident), making them nine times more likely to use transit. We should also promote other Travel Demand Management programs such as vanpools, telecommuting, use of circulator shuttles to high-employment areas, and appropriately priced parking, as well as make enhancements to our bike and pedestrian travel systems and other first and last mile improvements.

There is no easy or single solution to enhance the in-commuting experience for commuters or the city. I do, however, believe that working towards a solution should be a priority of city council. One of many possibilities to be explored might include a coordinated effort within the county and neighboring communities to offer incentives to people and businesses that avoid the use of single occupancy vehicle transportation into the city.

QUESTION 9. What do you think constitutes success on Folsom for commuters, residents and businesses?

Success for the road diet on Folsom has several components and is something that the city council should have done more to define at the inception of the installation. For cyclists, success will be a significant increase in the number of bikes using the protected bike lane. An important measure will be how many women and families are taking advantage of the lanes. For motorists, delays during peak travel times should not be excessive. For businesses, I would hope to see no downward turn in their sales. Often times, slower travel speeds lead motorists to have more time to identify and become interested in business along their route. Two other factors. The first is safety. I would hope see a decrease in vehicular speed for cars and a decrease in accidents for both cars and cycles. Second, winter maintenance must be adequate to ensure a viable year round program.

A re-set involving adequate data gathered before resuming “right-sizing”, gathering data about the economic impacts on businesses located on Folsom, the impact on people who live on Folsom, and the diversion of traffic onto adjacent streets, would all give everyone more confidence in the process. If the aim is to make bicycling safer along Folsom, we should have a dedicated bike path, completely separated from traffic.

As a member of TAB, I supported this as a pilot project, and as a pilot project only. The protected bike lanes have laudable goals of encouraging increased bike ridership, reducing car traffic, and improving safety. It is in our nature to innovate and experiment with limited-duration pilot projects to help us reach our aggressive transportation and climate goals. We should continue the experiment, but it is imperative that we listen to community and business feedback, and be poised to make immediate corrections. As a Council member, I would not commit to any pilot project without ensuring that there are clear metrics, objectives and goals, timelines, and outreach plans firmly in place.

QUESTION 10. What would you propose as a solution to the tens of thousands of incommuters that could be implemented in the near term?

The imminent arrival of bus rapid transit (the Flatiron Flyer) and the managed lanes on US36 should help to provide an attractive alternative to the single occupant vehicle. That said, there are no easy answers to the influx of people coming to work in Boulder because of our regional land use patterns and the cost of housing in Boulder. Additional solutions that we might try include providing better first and (mostly) final mile connections for in-commuting employees. That could be in the form of enhanced B-Cycles stations or local transit circulators for businesses (especially in the eastern part of the city). The communitywide EcoPass could be another solution for the near term if we were to include not only Boulder residents, but people who are employed here as well. A somewhat longer range solution is for new development to have to comply with a “TDM with teeth” program.

In the near term, one solution is an EcoPass for all incommuters. Also, employers should incentivize ridesharing programs for their employees. They can also provide van-pool services from areas where many of their employees live.

The most pressing transportation issues for the City of Boulder are regional incommuting. I am confident that the new BRT system will provide an excellent relief valve for the congestion on US36, especially if we provide the final-mile connections. However, regional commuter traffic will remain a problem unless we invest in further regional transit systems that provide similar relief in other transportation corridors. This, of course, will take additional funds. If RTD resources aren’t forthcoming, I think it is worth considering some sort of a local funding district that can support additional transit investment for northwest area.

Boulder has inelastic demand. We can’t add enough units to meet demand sufficiently to reduce prices.

QUESTION 9. What do you think constitutes success on Folsom for commuters, residents and businesses?

Success is reducing carbon emissions according to our 80% reduction goal. Transportation is 20% of Boulder carbon emissions. If we don’t reduce carbon emissions, everything else is secondary. Global average temperature rise is considered catastrophic over 2C. We are on a trajectory toward 5-6C. Economic impacts of our failure to counter climate change are universally considered to be much higher than mitigating now. If we do not act, there won’t be businesses to provide jobs and nothing to commute to.

Don’t know really? Increased bike transit with less car driver dissatisfaction? I thought Matt Appelbaum initial vote was right, just try it on Folsom. I agree with Macon, finish gathering Folsom data so we have learned something rather than abort 1/2 through.

The Folsom experiment attempted to create safer, more protected bicycle travel. Research has shown that converting 4-lane roads to 3-lane with a continuous center left-turn lane often does not significantly increase travel times. The Folsom experiment has worked well between Valmont and Pine, where no permanent center median, lighted intersections, or improved crosswalks exist. Changes on Folsom between Pine and Canyon caused increased congestion as the constricted left turn lanes backed-up into the traffic lanes impacting business. City staff has responded to direction from council by removing some bollards and changing light timing, but I this may not be enough. I support restoring Folsom between Pine and Canyon to its previous state, allowing the Valmont-Pine section to continue, and building community consensus before proceeding

QUESTION 10. What would you propose as a solution to the tens of thousands of incommuters that could be implemented in the near term?

Community wide EcoPass is likely our most cost effective solution. It fills empty bus seats plus reduces carbon emissions. 60% of traffic coming into Boulder does so via Rt 36 according to the Boulder Valley commute survey. Diagonal Highway and Arapahoe are the 2nd and 3rd most heavily traveled routes. In the near term, EcoPass can significantly change behavior because RTD service is already existent on these routes. But bus travel time must improve relative to car so enhancement of express service to surrounding bedroom communities is essential along with park and ride locations near trip origination points. Parking supply restrictions, especially for free parking, and road diets are part of the solution to cause a shift to public transportation along with enhanced facilities at bus stops like bike and car share, that facilitate easy “last mile” travel.

Buy urban local farebox county wide from RTD. Then we’ll have free county wide urban local service. Immediately implement “Living Lab” experiment for micro-transit to act as feeder for the urban local route trunk line. Pick a route, Longmont to Boulder, Diagonal - see if free urban local service coupled with adequate micro transit options (Boulder and Longmont, plus local park n rides) - we can boost mass transit to maybe 15% this route? I reference “Sustainable transportation infrastructure investment and mode share changes: A 20-year background of Boulder, Colorado” by Henao, et al. The triad Boulder Master Plan relies upon, biking, walking, RTD isn’t reducing congestion. Said another way, the triad hasn’t significantly increased mode share for these 3 transit methods. Pedestrian traffic has been flat, RTD mode share is around 7%, bikes around 10%.

No simple solution to the traffic and carbon emissions caused by in-commuting exists. Our 2014 Housing Choice Survey indicates many reasons people choose to live outside of Boulder, with affordable single-family homes being most important. Many in-commuters would live in Boulder if smaller single-family homes or duplexes were affordable. Boulder needs to address this by creating more developments like Iris Hollow or Holiday Neighborhood within the city. Other solutions include better transit connections to surrounding communities (like new BRT on 3 and BRT-lite in Boulder County), final mile connections in Boulder, and greatly increased tele-commuting. Other approaches include parking disincentives and congestion pricing. Ultimately, Boulder needs a vision for build-out that includes balancing job-growth and population growth with commuting impacts.

Measuring success is extremely difficult because there are many factors that cannot be evaluated due to unknown variables. That said, some estimates for success, imagining that it were measurable: bicycle commuters: 25% increase in ridership, fewer accidents; car commuters: no noticeable delay in non-rush hour times, less than one-minute delays in rush-hour days; residents: fewer accidents, ease of access to home; businesses: unblocked access to businesses

The trade-off between bicycles and cars does not have to be zero-sum. We don’t need to make it harder for drivers of automobiles to entice people to bike (I would suggest it actually has the opposite effect). The Folsom Street experiment is a good example. If the goal is to create a safer bike route north-south in that corridor, then the better place to put the protected bike lane is 200 yards east of Folsom, on 26th Street, which starts at Canyon and connects near Mapleton with the Elmers Two-Mile Creek bike path, which runs all the way north of Iris. Not only would this be less disruptive to cars driving on Folsom, it would be safer and quieter for bicyclists. We need not pit drivers against cyclists. Rather, we should make cycling so easy and safe that car drivers consider the cycling alternative of their own free will.

Dump Right-Sizing

QUESTION 10. What would you propose as a solution to the tens of thousands of incommuters that could be implemented in the near term?

Building more housing, both in Boulder and suburbs. More housing in Boulder removes the need to incommute. County housing allows for better transit.

This is a transportation challenge. While it is possible that some number of our in-commuters might move to Boulder if there were more affordable housing options, many of them live in other communities because they want to. To reduce automobile carbon emissions and parking stress, we should continue to increase opportunities for in-commuters to seek alternatives to single-occupancy vehicles. These choices include park-and-ride and park-and-bike stations outside the city and incentives for ride-sharing, car-sharing, employer vans, and on-demand ride services. Google is an example of an innovate company that has successfully put many of these measures in place, providing economic incentives for employees to get to and from work in less impactful ways. Boulder will always be a jobs center, but that doesn’t mean we need to be a car center.

We must think long term

Stop the Frack Attack protesters outside the capital during a 2012 rally in Washington D.C. The national organization brings its annual summit to Denver Oct. 3-5.

A movement without borders

National anti-fracking summit to be held in Denver by Angela K. Evans

olorado is known nationally as a hotbed for both the oil and gas industry, as well as for the anti-fracking movement, particularily as the State battles local jurisdictions over fracking bans in the courts and has approximately 55,000 wells in production. This makes Denver the ideal location for the annual Stop the Frack Attack National Summit Oct. 3-5. “Our theme for this year is escalating the fight between communities and the oil and gas industry,” says Robby Diesu, national organizer for Stop the Frack Attack (STFA). “What we hope to see out of this is an increase in resources for community groups and those fighting extraction on the ground.” Colorado is the perfect place for the STFA annual summit, says Micah Parkin, executive director of 350 Colorado, a locally focused nonprofit dedicated to building a sustainable future through battling climate change. Although citizens have voted to ban fracking and moratoriums on drilling, the upcoming Colorado Supreme Court decision regarding the legitimacy of the fracking ban in Longmont and moratoBoulder Weekly

rium in Fort Collins brings national attention to the state. “We all count on that our democratic rights won’t just be trampled over, but unfortunately that’s what we’re seeing here in Colorado,” Parkin says. She believes it’s that attack on democracy that is drawing national support to our state. The summit gathers community activists, university professors, environmental lawyers and policy specialists to address the shifting strategies of the oil and gas industry, as it responds to the mounting citizen opposition to fracking that’s gaining momentum throughout the country. Sessions will cover community organizing, recent federal regulations, interacting with the courts, climate change and interacting with the Obama administration, as well as the presidential candidates. “We’re all ready to take it to the next step,” says Karen Dike, spokesperson for Coloradans Against Fracking and resident of Longmont. The organization was part of the planning and steering committee for the summit. She says Colorado has been a “Free-for-all for the oil and gas industry [but we want] to give off the message that that’s

not OK.” STFA started in 2012, when 5,000 people rallied against fracking in Washington D.C. Since then, STFA has grown to include 136 member groups, from small, local grassroots organizations to larger environmental groups such as the national nonprofit Earthworks. “We’re the one central point where people can all meet and convene,” Diesu says. The first STFA national summit occurred in Dallas, Texas in 2012 with 250 attendees. Colorado fractivist, Shane Davis, attended the event. “We had collective leaders from the antifracking movement from all over the U.S. coming together to share our tips and tricks ... to really establish a point that can be accelerated moving forward,” Davis says. The group took a break last year, focusing more on internal organization and building the national network through speaking tours. But this year, the steering committee and advisory council, including Davis, decided it was time to gather again, this time in Denver. See SUMMIT Page 24

Supergroup The Word consists of guitarist Robert Randolph, pianist and organist John Medeski, and North Missippippi Allstars guitarist Luther Dickinson, bassist Chris Chew and percussionist Cody Dickinson.

The Word wants to inspire you The Word and Robert Randolph return to the studio to uplift the souls of listeners By Nicole McNulty

he Word is difficult to describe succinctly. The supergroup’s sound is a gospel-influenced musical fusion combining the talents of jazz pianist and organist John Medeski, southern blues/rock band North Mississippi Allstars and the soulful guitar sounds of Robert Randolph. Although the band just released their second album this year, their genesis took place a decade and a half ago. In the late ’90s, Randolph was a 20-year-old, church-going paralegal. He was raised in the House of God Church, a pentecostal denomination, following the path of both his parents and grandparents. There are House of God churches in 26 states plus Jamaica and the Bahamas, and the sacred steel Boulder Weekly

guitar has been an integral piece of church services since its introduction almost 80 years ago. The praise and worship in the church is led by the steel guitar, which takes the place of an organ, and much of Randolph’s inspiration to play guitar is derived from the “weeping, moaning slide guitar” he was exposed to in his formative years. “I grew up watching those guys, and they really gave me the inspiration, and I wanted to be like them. They were sort of my Albert King and B.B. King,” Randolph says. “We were focused on having to sound like singers. It had to be very precise with sliding notes like a vocal singer.” Most of the sacred steel players never ventured out of the church, but Randolph was different.

Eventually, a small record label noticed Randolph’s blooming talent. Arhoolie Records began in 1960 as an effort to document down home blues singers. Along with other prominent sacred steel players, Randolph was invited to play on an album called Sacred Steel, Live! in 1998 at various House of God churches. Around the same time, the funk group Medeski, Martin and Wood was on tour with North Mississippi Allstars. It was the Sacred Steel, Live! album that caught the attention of Medeski and the Allstars (comprised of guitarist Luther Dickinson, percussionist Cody Dickinson and bassist Chris Chew). The musicians had envisioned creating a new improvisational gospel collaboration. Once they realized Robert

Randolph — who’s featured on the album performing a moving rendition of “Without God” — lived nearby, they knew they wanted to play with him. Medeski and the Allstars got in touch with the young Randolph and asked him to open for them at New York’s Bowery Ballroom. They then invited Randolph to record with them in Medeski’s Brooklyn studio. Hence, The Word was born. These musicians, all with vastly different musical backgrounds, came together in a synthesis of gospel-infused rock ‘n’ roll, funk, jazz and blues in an extended improvisational style that went above and beyond any of the genres on their own. Their self-titled debut album, released in 2001, consists mostly of see THE WORD Page 32

After 14 years, The Word reconvened to create their second album, Soul Food. THE WORD from Page 31

instrumental traditional songs, but also contains a couple original arrangements. Randolph steers clear of placing the supergroup’s music within a specific genre. Alluding to the great Eric Clapton, with whom he has collaborated, Randolph says the best route is to just take the music for what it is. “There’s no trying to figure out which genre does it go in on iTunes, you know?” Randolph says. Sometimes songs are planned and “other times it just happens naturally,” Randolph continues. “It’s really hard to explain because it’s so special and spontaneous. That’s why a lot of people really understand it when it’s presented live and on tour and in concert, because of the different elements and different levels of things that happen.” Produced by Medeski and Ropeadope Records, the first album stood out from other sacred steel albums because of the new spin the musicians were able to put on well-established classics. The combination of Randolph’s guitar skills, Medeski’s pronounced organ and electric piano and Cody Dickinson’s electric washboard helped differentiate the group from more traditional-sounding bands. And people took notice. Although the sacred steel sound was just gaining popularity at the turn of the 21st century, the instrument has been in existence since the late 1800s. Electric steel guitar became popular during the 1930s through country/Western music and includes both the lap and pedal steel guitar. Randolph plays both versions, but the addition of the pedals allows him to achieve more complex chords, jazz ideas and scales, he says. After touring for a brief period in

the early 2000s, the musicians went their separate ways to work on other projects: Medeski performed with Medeski, Martin and Wood; The North Mississippi Allstars recorded their own albums; and Randolph played with Robert Randolph and the Family Band. The Word met up intermittently for performances, including Jam Cruise and appearances at Bonnaroo, but they couldn’t find time in their busy schedules to record another album. “We’d always talked about getting back together over the years, and there wasn’t enough time to sit in the studio and record and try to figure out a plan. It was always a little difficult,” Randolph says. “So, we were happy that it all worked out now.” The Word reunited in 2014 to begin recording their second album, Soul Food, an inversion of their first album consisting of mostly original songs. It also stands out due to the addition of lyrics and two guest singers, Ruthie Foster and Amy Helm. This follow-up album was recorded in two famous studios, Brooklyn Recording in New York and Royal Studios in Memphis, Tennessee. In the latter studio, nothing has changed since the 1970s, so “you can’t help but get soulful when you walk in there,” Randolph says. The few traditional songs, most of which Randolph used to play in church, are built upon with new ideas and improvisational melodies. “We all settled in and figured out a date and time and got together, and the music just felt right and everything started to click. And you know, people should know how different and special the music is, it sounds like no other,” he says. “It’s a very kind of rock ‘n’ roll, Boulder Weekly

buzz spiritual, bluesy thing, you know, gospel; it’s just real — the elements are all wrapped in one.” The group tries not to stop themselves when they play, Randolph says, but this often leads to 10 and 12 minute songs that they then have to edit down. But this makes the live shows unique — they don’t have to stop themselves. Randolph says he’s influenced by jam bands including the Grateful Dead and Phish and other iconic artists like Carlos Santana, Buddy Guy and Stevie Ray Vaughn, all of whom are known for their ability to stretch out a song and create intimate moments that only come to the surface at live shows. “You write a song and can’t wait to get in front of a live audience because you can’t wait for that moment. I call it church because it really is,” Randolph says. “Everybody sort of wanting to see what happens next and how we can turn this into something special. It all comes together at that point.” Although firmly rooted in gospel culture, the music of The Word is not inherently religious. Some of the songs on Soul Food have religious lyrics, but the overall feeling of the music is inspirational. “It’s very spiritual because for some reason, [when] we start playing everyone’s spirits get uplifted, that’s just the way it’s always been. You kind of feel relieved and revived,” Randolph continues. “I guess it’s just something about the reason why I’m here. I mean, sometimes I can try to write a love song and for some reason it still sounds spiritual.” The music that radiates from Randolph and his guitar has a tangible social utility. Music artists should recognize the profound impact they have on the world, Randolph says, especially in light of the divisiveness and turbulence in the media. It’s time music artists “look to inspire our younger generations as we see what’s going on with all of these shootings and killings and hatred,” Randolph says. “And I’ll be the first to tell you to blame a lot of the negative music that’s out there because music has a very heavy influence on what we do, who we are and what we become. It’s the one thing we all do. “I’ll put it to you like this: when you look at the ’60s and ’70s, I mean with all of the stuff going on with segregation and this and that; I mean, you had The Beatles, you had Al Green, you had Stevie Wonder, you had Bob Marley, even Jimi Hendrix,” he says. “You had all of these guys really trying to be influential, use the power of their microphones to really make the world a better place.” Boulder Weekly

I just think that’s a very, very special thing for everybody involved.” The concert will open with Dvorák’s Seventh Symphony, which is hardly better known than the concerto. “His popular pieces are the Eighth and Ninth symphonies, but it’s almost like the Seventh is by a different composer,” Hughes says. “The Seventh is where he basically peaks as a symphonist, as a learned composer. It draws people who are music lovers to it, because it was the essence of who he was as a musician and a composer. This is Dvorák, the pure musician.” Hughes is not alone in that assessment: Dvorák scholar John Clapham wrote in his acclaimed biography of the composer that it “must surely be Dvorák’s greatest symphony.” Hughes points out that the Seventh Symphony was particularly influenced by Brahms. Dvorák heard Brahms’s Third Symphony around the same time that he was invited to write a new symphony for the London Philharmonic. Inspired by Brahms, Dvorák began work on his Seventh in December 1884 and conducted the successful premiere in London in April 1885. “The Seventh Symphony is totally Brahmsian,” Hughes says. “Dvorák came out of just hearing Brahms’s Third Symphony, and he was totally inspired. You get the whole gamut of the AustroGerman [symphonic] style that Dvorák was able to completely assimilate.” Hughes says it would be a mistake to stay away from the concert just because you don’t know the pieces on the program. “This is unknown classical music, but it will blow the roof off,” he says. “Dvorák Seven has so much excitement and pathos in it, I would say 99 percent of people will not really know it, but they’ll go away loving it.”

Ponder Die Wise: A Night of Grief and Mystery with Stephen Jenkinson 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 7, eTOWN HALL, 1535 Spruce St., Boulder, 303-443-8696. An accomplished storyteller and theologian, Stephen Jenkinson comes to Boulder to engage audiences in a conversation about facing our inevitable death. On tour for his new book on the topic, Die Wise: A Manifesto for Sanity and Soul, Jenkinson urges the shifting of society’s perspective of dying, from a fate to be avoided toward an acceptance of death as the ultimate and most meaningful expression of a life well lived. An activist, author and founder of The Orphan Wisdom School, Jenkinson’s exploration is centered on the moral responsibility in death as the last gift you give to all that you love in life. — Sarah Haas

Papadosio – Extras in a Movie Tour 8 p.m. Friday-Saturday, Oct. 2-3, Boulder Theater, 2032 14th St., Boulder, 303-786-7030. Touring in support of their fourth full-length album, Extras in a Movie, Papadosio is just as much a band as it is an experience. Known for their impressive live performances and for touring on a massive scale, the band is committed to staying in front of their fans in order to maintain a close intimacy with them. This tour reveals a striking cinematic cornucopia of sounds: orchestral, electronic, acoustic, psychedelic and celestial — all of which serve as a launch pad for their improvisational excursions. New to this album is a deeper prog rock influence marked by heavy guitar and vocals that focus on the interpersonal. — Sarah Haas

Open Studios 20th Anniversary Noon-6 p.m. Oct. 3-4, 10-11. Throughout Boulder, 303-4441862.

Boulder has a vibrant art scene, so much so that author John Villani named it one of the county’s best art towns — sixth out of 100! So it comes as no surprise that Boulder is packed with artists. The city’s Open Studios Artists Tour gives folks a chance to meet the artists who give Boulder its art street cred. During the first two weekends of October, more than 120 local artists will open the doors to their studios, letting viewers explore their work and their process. Artists will hold demonstrations explaining their work, and some will have activities for children. The art varies in subject matter and mediums, including painting, photography, ceramics, jewelry, metal work and more. Open Studios celebrates its 20th anniversary this year with a few new additions, including a catalogue featuring all the participating artists and a mobile app, which provides a map of all the locations and a list of bike tours. Brenda Niemand, who’s on the board for Open Studios, says this event is a great way to make art more accessible. “The more you look the more you see,” Niemand says. “When I spend an afternoon looking at open studios, it’s a wonderful feeling, as if I’ve had this visual feast.” Get aquainted with this year’s participating artists by visiting Boulder Public Library’s Open Studios exhibit, which runs through Oct. 11. For more information and a full schedule, go to opensutdios.com.

Dumpster Land

by Noah Preston Janssen Somewhere, a child, he cries through the night And clings to the only things he knows The wind, its wisdom, and the rain’s soft sounds And the blanket of falling snow There is a place where vagabonds roam Where the dumpster meets the sea A place where we all must go Where from the body, the soul is free I hear the child’s falling tear As I lie face down on my bed But rather than splashing into the ground It heads towards the sky instead The maid cleans up the rainbow’s mess And the sun decides to sleep The only thing besides the moon Is the broom’s weary sweep The teardrop finds the ocean floor And my heart comes home as well I don’t really know where heaven is Maybe it’s the same thing as hell And my heart, it is laughing loud I have come back to my roots My blood has become one with my friends The eagles, ants, and owl’s hoots I love this street I walk along And this earth on which I stand The lessons I’ve learned within this life That when I jump, I might not land In the end, we are all the same We all return back to the sand And we find ourselves right back at the start Back in dumpster land

screen We was smart once

‘Pawn Sacrifice’ remembers American intellectualism  by Ryan Syrek

odern Americans re-elected a man who plunged the country into two wars, tortured people and destroyed our economy, all because George W. Bush was the kind of guy you’d “like to have a beer with.” But for a brief moment in 1972, America rooted for the smart guy. To be fair, it was under the cloudy, Cold War spectre of thermonuclear annihilation, so it wasn’t all sugar and sparkles. But in the years since Bobby Fischer stood toe-to-toe with Boris Spassky for the World Chess Championship, intellectualism has become a synonym for prickish arrogance, as Americans have become increasingly convinced it’s better to be “Jane Average” than “Jane Genius.” This isn’t to say Pawn Sacrifice is going to make folks want to be like Fischer (Tobey Maguire), the anti-Semitic, mentally ill chess champ. The movie opens with Fischer in his youth; troubled even then, he uses chess as a means to engage a world he seemingly loathes. At 12, he plunged into the world of competition, and by 15, he became the youngest grandmaster. Why the chess world and the Ku Klux Klan have similar sounding titles is only a little troubling considering the game pits black and white pieces against each other. But anyway… The remainder of the film is Fischer’s path to the inevitable showdown with Spassky (Liev Schreiber), which would take place in Iceland in 1972. Although Fischer couldn’t give a rook about the political significance, he was the only one. At the height of the Cold War, a Russian squared off against an American in a demonstration of intellectual superiority, and the world stopped to watch. As Fischer is told in the movie, America had “lost China” and was “losing Vietnam.” This was the last symbolic stand. Fischer, however, was too busy with paranoid delusions to ponder the significance. Pawn Sacrifice is good, very good at times, but not great. This is partially Pawn Sacrifice is a deep and disturbing look at chess great Bobby Fischer against because director Edward Zwick has a Cold War backdrop. never made a movie he hasn’t snuck a bloated 30 minutes into. It’s also because, no matter how high the stakes, watching folks quietly move chess pieces is boring. It’s hard not to giggle at slow-motion game play with a big sound effect “thud” when each piece is placed. Pawn Sacrifice also goes a bit too easy on Fischer, whose anti-Semitism was truly hideous and made all the more complicated by his own Jewish heritage. The film seemingly goes out of its way to show Fischer as a victim of his own genius, which he may well have been. He was also a sizeable dick. Maguire is quite good, switching between glassy-eyed obliviousness and rage strokes. Schreiber’s Spassky, however, is disappointingly underdeveloped. Had the film put the two men in parallel more, it likely would have been considerably more compelling. And yet, as a snapshot of a singular moment in American history and a profile of a genius at war with himself, Pawn Sacrifice acquits itself as a worthwhile endeavor. Or to put it in chess terms, it’s a “check” but not “mate.” This review first appeared in The Reader of Omaha, Neb.

film No longer man’s best friend Rise of the oppressed in ‘White God’ by Michael J. Casey

hite God is a coat of many colors. It is an allegory, a horON THE BILL: White God. ror movie, a science fiction 10:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 2, The Boedecker Theater, 2590 tale and a satire, placing dogs Walnut St., Boulder, 303-440in the role of oppressed 7825. Tickets start at $6 at humans to address animalistic aggressions. In thedairy.org. every society there is a desire to control. There is also a resistance to that control, and thus we have the two primary building blocks of conflict. Hungarian director Kornél Mundruczó offers up this tension in three forms: a divorced father and his pubescent daughter; that daughter and her elders; and between man and animal. Each relationship is one of controller and controlled, and each conflict comes from the controlled bucking the system. While the first two relationships, anchored beautifully by 13-year-old newcomer Zsófia Psotta as Lili, provide grounding in this fairy tale, most of White God’s running time involves the allegory of man and dog. Hagen (played by two identical littermates, Luke and Body) is Lili’s beloved pet, but her father refuses to pay his steep mongrel tax. Mixed-breed mutts are looked down upon, and when Dad gets the chance, he abandons Hagen on Instead of focusing on the humans, White God uses dogs as the side of the road. a means to explore travesty. In another movie, this might set up Lili and Hagen’s Homeward Bound search for each other, but Mundruczó makes no attempts to anthropomorphize Hagen or any of the other 274 dogs used in the making of White God. He doesn’t need to. Hagen conveys more emotion than most of the human counterparts, and when Hagen is taken in and trained by a professional dog fighter (a tough bit of business to sit through), we understand Hagen’s emotional arc with perfect clarity. When Hagen breaks free from his captors and leads a revolt of dogs through the streets of Budapest, it is not an absurd image but a sublime one. No animals were harmed in the making of this movie, but if you find visual depictions of animal cruelty difficult to stomach, then White God will not be your cup of tea, and that is precisely Mundruczó’s game. Had he told this story with human beings, it would have conveyed the same ideas but lost the emotional impact. Possibly because audience members have become desensitized to the filmmaking process, we know, instinctually, that the person getting shot on camera did not die and was not injured. But we aren’t so sure when it comes to animals. We see the animal lying on the ground, red and wet, whimpering and whiny, and our heart sinks. Never mind that the dog has been trained to lie down on cue, that it has been covered in red syrup, and that the whimpering we are hearing is on the soundtrack. An injured animal elicits a great deal of sympathy, which is why Mundruczó uses dogs to tell his tale of travesty. This is a topic he wants the audience to sit up and take notice of, and if it takes dogs to do that, then dogs it is. Boulder Weekly

vinegar tang, with the slightly sweet flavor of tomato and pepper. These might just be the best wings around, and the folks at Wild Mountain are eager to share how often people drive up from Boulder just to take a massive order of wings home for a big game or for just a good old fashioned solitary chow down in the inflatable children’s pool out back. We also had some ribs and a veggie burger on the table; for science, of course. The ribs were lathered in a robust tomato barbecue sauce, and their tender meat sliced cleanly off the bone. The veggie burger was notable due to its spiciness and crispiness — made with quinoa, black beans, tomato and some excellent blend of red spices, it had some kick and girth. You may have to wait to get into town, and then wait again to get into Wild Mountain, but the payoff is in the wings. Just keep telling yourself that when you’re up there.

FOOD AND FILM

The third annual Flatirons Food Film Festival is coming back to Boulder on Oct. 19-25 with movies, dinners, crawls and more. The schedule of films features movies that document a wide array of the food world, with topics such as fermented foods, Jewish delis, ChineseAmerican cuisine, Sicilian fare and more. There’s also going to be talks and dinners provided by some of the biggest names in the Boulder and national food scene. The week kicks off on Oct. 19 with a book signing from James Beard Award-winning writer Sandor Katz, author of multiple books on fermentation. The signing coincides with screenings of SandorKraut and Symphony of the Soil. There will also be a fermented food fair with fermented food and drink from Basta, Britt’s Pickles, Fresh Thymes, Happy Leaf Kombucha and many more. Tickets are $12 for the whole shebang, and that night’s events take place in the Muenzinger Auditorium at CU from 6:309:45 p.m. On Wednesday, Oct. 21, there will be a downtown Boulder sushi crawl guided by Local Table Tours. Hapa Sushi, Japango, Sushi Tora and Sushi Zanmai will all be serving their unique takes on the “Flatirons Food Film Festival roll.” Tickets are $45, and gatherers will meet at The Peppercorn on Pearl Street before embarking on their journey.

Boulder Weekly

Then on Friday, Oct. 23, head back to the Muenzinger Auditorium for a book signing with Andy Ricker, James Beard Award winner and head of the renowned Pok Pok restaurants. Fish sauce wings will be slung around during the chicken wing tasting portion of the evening. Wikimedia Commons Ricker will then introduce the documentary about him and his work, Farang, and stick around for a Q&A session afterwards. For more information and to buy tickets for these events, visit www.flatironsfoodfilmfest.org.

COLORADO IS AN ORGANIC AGRICULTURE CAPITAL The U.S. Department of Agriculture released survey findings last week that listed the top 10 organic-agriculture-producing states in the country. Guess who made the list? Colorado! It’d be pretty stupid to include it in Tidbites if it didn’t. Anyway, Colorado nabbed the eighth spot on the list with $146 million in organic agriculture sales last year. Organic sales have been trending upwards since 2008, as shown by a 72 percent increase over six years to $5.5 billion in

The problem with garlic

The garlic you’re cooking with is probably lousy. Here’s how to fix that.

by Ari LeVaux

Bounded weaves of garlic may look nice, but they’re likely not the best tasting garlic you can find.

he problem with buying garlic at the store is this: the varieties that growers like to produce are not the kinds of garlic that people would choose to cook with if they had a choice. But most people don’t realize they have a choice, because inferior garlic is all they’ve ever known. The distinction between good and bad garlic comes down to a taxonomical division between hardneck garlic, which is the good kind, and softneck garlic, the kind that is most readily available.

Boulder Weekly

The name hardneck refers to the presence of a flowering stalk, also called a scape, that each hardneck garlic plant will sprout in the weeks before harvest time. These delicious plant parts should be picked soon after they appear, so the plant doesn’t send energy to the developing flower at the expense of the bulb. Softneck garlic doesn’t send up a flower, which leaves the stalk less woody, making it a favorite among garlic braiders, as well as growers who would prefer to avoid the extra step of deflowering their crop. But most cooks aren’t concerned with braiding garlic, and scapes are

great for cooking. And if given a choice, most would prefer cooking with hardneck garlic, because it’s so much easier to work with. The cloves tend to be larger than softneck cloves, so big that a single one will often suffice for a meal. And a hardneck clove peels easily, with a hard shell that often comes off in one piece. All of these qualities make hardneck garlic a relative pleasure to work with. Hardneck bulbs tend to be more orderly and symmetrical than softneck bulbs, while softneck bulbs are more chaotic. The cloves themselves are irregularly shaped as well, and some of them are so small they almost aren’t worth using. While hardneck peels are

easily removed, softneck peels break apart into wisps as you pull them off the cloves. These wisps stick to your fingers, and make you utter certain four-letter words. It takes most of the day to peel enough softneck cloves for a single meal. But many cooks have yet to experience the pleasures of good garlic, because despite all of its advantages in the kitchen, most growers plant softneck. Their reasons are understandable. For one, the high number of cloves in a bulb of softneck garlic is an advantage when it comes to saving seed. When see GARLIC Page 54

growing garlic, you plant the individual cloves, each one of which will grow into a bulb. Say you grew 2,000 garlic plants this year, and you want to grow the same amount next year. If you are using a softneck variety with 23 tiny, misshapen, generally annoying cloves in each head, you would only need to plant 83 bulbs-worth, or about 4 percent of your harvest, to get your 2,000 plants. But if you’re using a hardneck variety that averages four massive cloves per bulb, you’d need to plant 500 bulbs — or 25 percent of the harvest — in order to get your 2,000 plants. The poor multiple offered by those beefy hardneck cloves leaves growers with much less of their crop available for sale. Another reason why growers prefer softneck is it tends to have a longer shelf life. Most consumers don’t care about this, because they are only buying a few bulbs at a time. Some gardeners have asked me if it makes sense to plant a few softneck cloves in the garlic patch in order to have some garlic to eat when the hardneck bulbs have gotten prohibitively soft. That that’s not necessary, because there are hardneck varieties, such as Romanian Red, that last long enough — at least until the scapes come out of next year’s crop. And I can happily subsist on scapes until the bulbs are ready for harvest. So, now that I’ve explained to you that the garlic you thought you loved actually sucks, you might wonder where that leaves you. Luckily, you have options. While much more softneck garlic is grown than hardneck — especially in China, the source of most U.S. garlic — it is nonetheless possible to find the good stuff if you know what to look for. Fancy stores that stock more than one

variety of garlic will sometimes carry some hardneck. I see a lot of hardneck at the farmers’ market, too, as smaller operations tend to value its talents and can also sell the scapes. Hardneck garlic can be mail-ordered from boutique outfits as well. When buying unknown garlic at a store, simply press down on the stalk in the center of the bulb. If it’s flimsy and bends over with ease, then it’s a softneck. If the cut end stands up to the pressure of your finger, then you have a hardneck bulb in your hands. Because hardneck can be so difficult to find, and because growing garlic is so easy, fun and rewarding, your best option for using good garlic is to grow your own, save your seed and replant it. Special seed garlic can be ordered. But this is often more expensive than garlic for eating, even though there is virtually no difference. Seed garlic is guaranteed to be disease-free, but for gardeners, the possibility of contaminating your garlic patch by planting retail garlic is very low. Having said that, I have no regrets about biting the bullet a few years back and purchasing a large pile of hardneck Romanian Red seedstock. But if you aren’t as picky as me about which exact variety you want to grow, then you can do fine with whatever hardneck garlic looks good at the local farmers’ market. You’re assured that the variety, whatever that may be, can grow well in your region, because it just did. Garlic is planted in the fall, and harvested the following summer. So if you’re interested in planting some, now is the time to get on it. Last year’s harvest is available for planting, and the time to do so is rapidly approaching. Boulder Weekly

drink The dead travel smashed A handy guide to costume/drink pairings this Halloween season by Chris Krovatin

eople who blow off Halloween as a kids’ holiday are doing it wrong. A celebration of darkness, madness and, most of all, excess, All Hallows Eve is as much about swinging from the rafters as it is about going from door to door. And isn’t getting a little sloshed always more fun when everyone’s dressed like monsters and cartoon characters? But if you’re going to take on a new identity this Halloween, don’t ruin it by swilling an inappropriate drink. Sure, there’s something charming about a mummy holding a Miller Lite or a fairy-tale princess pounding Jager. Then again, the right drink can tie your whole costume together, and will help you stay in character throughout your creepy revelry. So here are some drink pairings that will take your outfit to the next level. Vampire: If you’re going the fashionable route — either some ruffly Transylvanian aristocrat or a vinyl-wrapped goth — stick Wikimedia Commons with red wine. The woozy and playful drunk will make you feel more like a predatory sexpot. If you’re thinking punk rock, a la The Lost Boys or Preacher, stick to blood-colored beers. Killian’s Irish Red or Founders Red’s Rye IPA are both good all-night reds to sate your unholy thirst. Witch/Wizard: You want it to look as though you’re sipping a magical potion, so for starters, anything with dry ice smoke billowing out of it will do. Other than that, colorful and potent cocktails work best, maybe with a fake eyeball or spider tossed in for effect. Absinthe drinks are especially great — strong, green, known for the magical visions they inspire. A good porter or stout, black as the Sabbath, also works if you prefer beer. Zombie: If the answer isn’t obvious, your dad didn’t tell you the joke enough times. Zombies drink zombies, or any rum-heavy cocktail in a tiki head, as a slight nod to the monster’s Haitian history. Those more inclined towards George A. Romero’s modern flesh-eaters should drink anything colored a toxic waste green, such as Jell-O shots and Midori sours. Corpse Revivers are also a fun referential cocktail. Werewolf: Usually, a werewolf costume involves flannel — the ol’ hunter-whogot-bitten-and-didn’t-think-anything-of-it routine. Stick to the kind of beer one would keep in a hunting blind cooler — Old Milwaukee or Schlitz should do it — along with the occasional swig from a hunting flask. True lycanthropes, though, will rock the glass jar of Midnight Moon moonshine; the apple pie flavor is nicely seasonal. Superhero: Whether you’re a knight in shining armor or a caped crusader, you want everyone to see your unrivaled strength. For light drinking, try a big frosty mug filled with a crisp, poundable Pilsner, and do beer curls throughout the party. As for liquor, no mixers or shakers allowed — you’ll do neat shots and lots of them! Whiskey and vodka are traditional, though if you really want to amaze those fine citizens, gin is hardcore. Villain: When your life involves misrule and megalomania, you want to seem diabolical and clinical while still able to take the hard stuff. Get yourself a neat scotch — include ice if you’re going full Bond villain — and smolder over it as you seek your next unwitting victim or muse over your diabolical plans for world domination. If you want to go supervillain, shoot something spicy — jalapeño-infused vodka seems fitting — to show that you’re not afraid of the Hell you’ll end up in. “Sexy” costume: Instead of matching drinks with a “sexy” costume variation, maybe just try wearing something else. Devil: Thanks to the idea of Old Scratch as a “bad businessman” — think Robert Johnson — it always looks best when the Devil has a martini. Classy but strong as hell, a martini succinctly says, “Man’s ruin.” Slasher: Like the hero, the slasher is unstoppable, stalking their prey no matter what. As such, go big, but do it in a grimy way. No mugs or steins — haul a growler around. Drink forties. Sure, it’s intense, but if you’re going to be a deathless murder machine, you better act like one. Boulder Weekly

MARCH 21-APRIL 19:

Go to RealAstrology.com to check out Rob Brezsny’s EXPANDED WEEKLY AUDIO HOROSCOPES and DAILY TEXT MESSAGE HOROSCOPES. The audio horoscopes are also available by phone at 1-877873-4888 or 1-900-950-7700.

The next seven weeks will NOT be a favorable time to fool around with psychic vampires and charismatic jerks. I recommend you avoid the following mistakes, as well: failing to protect the wounded areas of your psyche; demanding perfection from those you care about; and trying to fulfill questionable desires that have led you astray in the past. Now I’ll name some positive actions you’d be wise to consider: hunting for skillful healers who can relieve your angst and aches; favoring the companionship of people who are empathetic and emotionally intelligent; and getting educated about how to build the kind of intimacy you can thrive on.

TAURUS

APRIL 20-MAY 20:

You may have seen websites that offer practical tips on how to improve your mastery of life’s little details. They tell you how to de-clutter your home, or how to keep baked goods from going stale or why you should shop for shoes at night to get the best fit. I recently came across a humorous site that provides the opposite: bad life tips. For instance, it suggests that you make job interviews less stressful by only applying for jobs you don’t want. Put your laptop in cold water to prevent overheating. To save time, brush your teeth while you eat. In the two sets of examples I’ve just given, it’s easy to tell the difference between which tips are trustworthy and which aren’t. But in the coming days, you might find it more challenging to distinguish between the good advice and bad advice you’ll receive. Be very discerning.

GEMINI

MAY 21-JUNE 20:

On a windy afternoon last spring I was walking through a quiet neighborhood in Berkeley. In one yard there was a garden plot filled with the young green stems of as-yet unidentifiable plants. Anchored in their midst was a small handwritten sign. Its message seemed to be directed not at passers-by like me but at the sprouts themselves. “Grow faster, you little bastards!” the sign said — as if the blooming things might be bullied into ripening. I hope you’re smart enough not to make similar demands on yourself and those you care about, Gemini. It’s not even necessary. I suspect that everything in your life will just naturally grow with vigor in the coming weeks.

CANCER

JUNE 21-JULY 22:

“I am rooted, but I flow,” wrote Virginia Woolf in her novel The Waves. That paradoxical image reminds me of you right now. You are as grounded as a tree and as fluid as a river. Your foundation is deep and strong, even as you are resilient in your ability to adapt to changing circumstances. This is your birthright as a Cancerian! Enjoy and use the blessings it confers. (P.S. If for some strange reason you’re not experiencing an exquisite version of what I’ve described, there must be some obstacle you are mistakenly tolerating. Get rid of it.)

LEO

JULY 23-AUG. 22:

Should I offer my congratulations? You have corralled a gorgeous mess of problems that are more interesting and provocative than everyone else’s. It’s unclear how long this odd good fortune will last, however. So I suggest you act decisively to take maximum advantage of the opportunities that your dilemmas have cracked open. If anyone can turn the heartache of misplaced energy into practical wisdom, you can. If anyone can harness chaos to drum up new assets, it’s you. Is it possible to be both cunning and conscientious, both strategic and ethical? For you right now, I think it is.

VIRGO

AUG. 23-SEPT. 22:

Let’s say you have walked along the same path or driven down the same road a thousand times. Then, one day, as you repeat your familiar route, a certain object or scene snags your attention for the first time. Maybe it’s a small fountain or a statue of the Buddhist goddess Guanyin or a wall with graffiti that says “Crap happens, but so does magic.” It has always been there. You’ve been subconsciously aware of it. But at this moment, for unknown reasons, it finally arrives in your conscious mind. I believe

Boulder Weekly

this is an apt metaphor for your life in the next week. More than once, you will suddenly tune in to facts, situations, or influences that had previously been invisible to you. That’s a good thing! But it might initially bring a jolt.

LIBRA

SEPT. 23-OCT. 22:

The 20th century’s most influential artist may have been Pablo Picasso. He created thousands of paintings, and was still churning them out when he was 91 years old. A journalist asked him which one was his favorite. “The next one,” he said. I suggest you adopt a similar attitude in the coming weeks, Libra. What you did in the past is irrelevant. You should neither depend on nor be weighed down by anything that has come before. For now, all that matters are the accomplishments and adventures that lie ahead of you.

SCORPIO

OCT. 23-NOV. 21:

A windbreak is a line of stout trees or thick bushes that provides shelter from the wind. I think you need a metaphorical version: someone or something to shield you from a relentless force that has been putting pressure on you; a buffer zone or protected haven where you can take refuge from a stressful barrage that has been hampering your ability to act with clarity and grace. Do you know what you will have to do to get it? Here’s your battle cry: “I need sanctuary! I deserve sanctuary!”

SAGITTARIUS NOV. 22-DEC. 21:

Your fellow Sagittarian Walt Disney accomplished a lot. He was a pioneer in the art of animation and made movies that won numerous Academy Awards. He built theme parks, created an entertainment empire and amassed fantastic wealth. Why was he so successful? In part because he had high standards, worked hard and harbored an obsessive devotion to his quirky vision. If you aspire to cultivate any of those qualities, now is a favorable time to raise your mastery to the next level. Disney had one other trait you might consider working on: He liked to play the game of life by his own rules. For example, his favorite breakfast was doughnuts dipped in Scotch whisky. What would be your equivalent?

CAPRICORN

DEC. 22-JAN. 19:

October is Fix the Fundamentals Month. It will be a favorable time to substitute good habits for bad habits. You will attract lucky breaks and practical blessings as you work to transform overwrought compulsions into rigorous passions. You will thrive as you seek to discover the holy yearning that’s hidden at the root of devitalizing addictions. To get started, instigate free-wheeling experiments that will propel you out of your sticky rut and in the direction of a percolating groove.

AQUARIUS

JAN. 20-FEB. 18:

Have you made your travel plans yet? Have you plotted your escape? I hope you will hightail it to a festive playground where some of your inhibitions will shrink, or else journey to a holy spot where your spiritual yearnings will ripen. What would be even better is if you made a pilgrimage to a place that satisfied both of those agendas — filled up your senses with novel enticements and fed your hunger for transcendent insights. Off you go, Aquarius! Why aren’t you already on your way? If you can’t manage a real getaway in the near future, please at least stage a jailbreak for your imagination.

PISCES

FEB. 19-MARCH 20:

Pablo Neruda’s Book of Questions consists entirely of 316 questions. It’s one of those rare texts that makes no assertions and draws no conclusions. In this spirit, and in honor of the sphinx-like phase you’re now passing through, I offer you six pertinent riddles: 1. What is the most important thing you have never done? 2. How could you play a joke on your fears? 3. Identify the people in your life who have made you real to yourself. 4. Name a good old thing you would have to give up in order to get a great new thing. 5. What’s the one feeling you want to feel more than any other in the next three years?. 6. What inspires you to love?

Dear Dan: I’ve been dating this guy for almost two months. It’s been pretty good, except the sex isn’t really the best. I have this other male friend who has had a crush on me. Long story short: My friend made a move on me the other night. I told him I couldn’t, and he knew why, but to be honest, I was insanely turned on by his forwardness. He apologized, but a week later we hung out, and I told him that it really intrigued me, and we ended up having crazy cool sex — satisfying in all the ways the guy I’m dating isn’t. I haven’t told the guy I’m seeing about this and I don’t plan to. But I feel guilty. I keep © LaRae Lobdell rationalizing that we have never had a talk about exclusivity, and I therefore have no obligation to him. I want to keep fucking my friend, but I also enjoy dating this other guy. Am I an asshole? Am I obligated to disclose that I’m not interested in monogamy with him? — Too Many Intrigues

Dear TMI: Are you an asshole? That can’t be ruled out, TMI, but I can’t make a determination with the limited data you’ve provided. One asshole move — and cheating on Mr. Two Months was definitely an asshole move — does not an asshole make. We know this because while everyone is guilty of the occasional asshole move, not everyone is an asshole. Assholes are made when asshole moves come one right after the other, and an ever-thickening layer of asshole moves hardens into total assholery. Anyway, while you might not have had a conversation with the guy you’re currently dating/cheating on about exclusivity, you wouldn’t feel guilty about what/who you did if you didn’t think Mr. Two Months was operating under the assumption that you two were exclusive. So the cheating was an asshole move and your rationalization, as you seem to be aware, is a pile of self-serving bullshit that’s equal parts

SAVAGE by Dan Savage

transparent and unnecessary. Because as much as you like hanging out with Mr. Two Months, the sex hasn’t been good for you and you haven’t been good to him. Don’t negotiate a nonmonogamous agreement. End it. Dear Dan: I am a 23-year-old straight male who has a pattern of getting into long-distance relationships that become semi-long-term relationships before I get depressed by the monotony of it all and wind up breaking up with the person. I resolved that in the relationship I’m currently in — nine months and counting — I would keep it casual, which resulted in it turning into an open mono/poly relationship, meaning I’m poly and she’s monogamous. She is great, cute and intelligent, and there is nothing destructive or dishonest about our relationship. I just find myself not wanting to talk to her every day, and the weekly Skype calls feel like a chore. We have a great time when we visit each other, but I only feel like catching up when I see her in person. Is this the price I have to pay to keep her happy? — Not An Asshole Dear NAA: I’ve read that young people don’t make phone calls anymore — talking on the phone is for olds (full disclosure: We olds hardly speak to each other on the phone anymore, either) — so I’m surprised your youngand-mono GF wants to hear your young-and-poly voice on a daily basis. I think you should propose a young-andfun compromise: texting instead of phoning during the week and a Skype/ masturbation session on the weekend.

Love

Dear Dan: I’m a straight 28-year-old female, in a relationship with my boyfriend for two years. We live together, and on the weekends we care for his kid. We are very much in love and have a supportive, happy relationship. I’ve always had a hard time being monogamous. In every relationship, I tend to get a wandering eye around the two-year mark. Recently I went by myself to see a friend’s band and ended up meeting a man I had an insane chemistry with. We spent the whole evening together and wound up making out before I literally ran away. The next day, stone cold sober, I called him, drove to his house, and we fucked like crazy. It was animalistic and intense, and I felt like a fucking porn star. It was awesome. My boyfriend and I have sex that I truly enjoy, and I usually get off, but he struggles to be dominant, rough, or talk dirty, which are things I really get off on. He says he’s too self-conscious to be dominant in bed. This stranger did all the things I wish my boyfriend would do. To test the waters, I casually mentioned an arrangement where we could sleep with other people, and he said he wasn’t into it. If I’m happy in my relationship, and the sex we have is consistently good, sometimes amazing, is that enough? Am I giving up on an aspect of my sexuality if I stay with him, or am I just looking for excuses to fuck other people? — Likes It All Rough Dear LIAR: A loving and supportive partner, a happy relationship, and good sex that occasionally tips into the amazing column — yeah, most people would tell you that’s not only enough, LIAR, it’s a better relationship than the one they’re currently in, recently left, or ever hope to find. But the fact that most people would like to trade places with you isn’t relevant, LIAR, because what you have with your boyfriend isn’t

enough for you. You want love, happiness, stability and the freedom to fuck other guys — and you would want that freedom even if your boyfriend was capable of dominating you in the sack just the way you like. Seeing as you know this about yourself — seeing as you know that monogamy isn’t for you (see: the wandering eye at 24 months, the fucking that other guy at his place) — making a monogamous commitment you know you can’t keep is an asshole move. So here’s what you’re gonna do: Tell your lovely, loving boyfriend that nonmonogamy is a non-negotiable. You are willing, of course, to negotiate with him about the form your open relationship might take, but you must make it clear to him that a closed relationship is a recipe for disaster — because sooner or later, you will cheat on him. If he fights on that point, LIAR, if he tells you that he’s sure you’re capable of being monogamous, then you can tell him that by “sooner or later” you meant “last week, with this dude I met in a bar.” Dear Dan: I think your answer to BFF last week missed an essential piece of information. She refers to herself as engaging in “drunken” threesomes and hookups. I think she needs to examine her own behavior, not that of her roommate and FWB, and the fact that her relationships seem to be fueled by the effects of her alcohol consumption. I’m guessing her letter was fuzzy for a reason. It was probably written in a drunken haze. Nothing you say will get through to her unless you address her use of alcohol. — Alcohol Not The Solution Dear ANTS: Full disclosure: I was drinking when I wrote my response to BFF. So just as it’s possible that alcohol played a role in the drama BFF described, it’s possible I neglected to point that fact out because I was a little drunky myself.

EEDBETWEENTHELINES

by Leland Rucker

Denver murder suspect says the pot made him do it

week ago Friday, lawyers for Richard Kirk, a Denver man who is charged with the murder of his wife after eating a cannabis edible during a domestic disturbance in April 2014, changed his original plea from not guilty to not guilty by reason of insanity. The pot made him do it. Had he not ingested a marijuana edible, he wouldn’t have murdered his wife, Kristine, who was on the phone with 911 when she was shot. It’s a horrible story. Police reports indicate that the incident took place at home while their three sons were present. According to a police affidavit for a search warrant, Richard Kirk bought a Bubba Kush joint and a 100-milligram piece of Karma Kandy Orange Ginger taffy at a store on South Colorado Boulevard. He apparently ate some or all of the candy, came home, began arguing with his wife and acting irrationally, cutting his legs on broken glass, before unlocking the gun safe and shooting his wife in the head. That’s pretty much been the way this story has played out in the media, with special emphasis on the marijuana consumption. The incident happened just four months after legalization, and the story went worldwide, mostly because of the phone call, in which Kristine Kirk describes drunken behavior by her husband before the shooting. The resultant outcry, along with the death of a young man who jumped or fell to his death from a hotel window after eating an edible, is among the reasons that the state legislature is looking again at edibles rules and regulations. Final changes are due at the end of the year.

Boulder Weekly

As the Kirk case winds through the court system, we keep learning more. It wasn’t the first time police had been called to the home. A police detective told investigators that the couple had been involved in domestic disputes in the weeks leading up to the shooting. There were big credit

card and tax debts. THC was the only drug found in Kirk’s system, but the concentration of Richard K after shoo irk is plea 2.3 nanograms ting h d is wif ing insan e. ity per milliliter is lower than the level required for impairment in Colorado. (It’s not known when the blood was drawn, and THC levels can rise or drop dramatically after ingestion.) It’s hard to say what the defense is planning. In Colorado, if you willingly use drugs or alcohol, you can’t use that as a qualification for an insanity plea. His lawyers will have to prove he has mental problems that render him incapable of decisionmaking. Kirk will be evaluated at the Colorado Mental Health Institution and a hearing on his mental state

is scheduled for Dec. 17. In other news, a Senate Medical Affairs subcommittee in South Carolina voted to advance a bill that would legalize marijuana for certain medical conditions. The bill’s main sponsor, Sen. Thom Davis, feels that the general assembly is supportive of efforts to allow cancer, glaucoma and AIDS patients in the state to use cannabis. According to a story in The State in Columbia, South Carolina, Law Enforcement Division head Mark Keel indicated his displeasure by testifying that allowing medical marijuana would make it easier for teens to obtain it. He also claimed, incorrectly, that in states that have legalized medical marijuana, more teens are users. The panel was immediately onto his bullshit. One co-sponsor said the only thing currently limiting high school students from buying marijuana is their pocketbook. Another said, “Any system that we come up with is going to be abused.” The bill passed over Keel’s objections and now goes to the full Senate Medical Affairs Committee early next year. If it passes, it heads for the full Senate and then the South Carolina House. Finally, some really depressing news from the Uniform Crime Report prepared by the FBI and released this month. There were 700,993 arrests in 2014 for marijuana violations in the U.S. That’s 7,511 more than in 2013, and it’s the first time that the number of arrests has gone up since 2009. More than 88 percent of those were for possession alone. Arrests for marijuana account for almost 45 percent of all drug arrests, which, incidentally, is the largest category of offenses for which people are arrested. And all this despite the fact that four states have legalized recreational use and more states are allowing medical exceptions every month. Such a waste. You can hear Leland discuss his most recent column and Colorado cannabis issues each Thursday morning on KGNU. http://news.kgnu.org/weed

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

AND ANOTHER REASON JEB BUSH SHOULDN’T BE PRESIDENT According to the Washington Post, Jeb Bush has jumped headfirst into the controversy surrounding the Washington “Redskins” football team. Spoiler alert: Jeb is too stupid to understand why the team should change its name. Jeb told the Post, “I don’t find it offenWikimedia Commons sive, Native American tribes generally don’t find it offensive.” And there you have it, the litmus test. If a millionaire white guy doesn’t find it offensive, then no one else does either and therefore, it’s not offensive. Jeb, sensing his foot was not yet far enough into his mouth, went on to explain how, while he was the Florida governor, he came to the rescue of another football team, the Florida State Seminoles. Bush told the paper how he worked with the tribe to convince them that the school should still be able to use their tribe’s name. And that is where the stupid comes in. Jeb actually doesn’t have the mental capacity to see any difference between a tribe’s name like “Seminoles,” and the word “redskin.” If Jeb would pull his head out of his derrière once in a while and use a dictionary he might learn something. For instance, Merriam-Webster and the Oxford dictionary both define “redskin” as a derogatory term for Native Americans. They do not describe “Seminole” as a derogatory term for Native Americans. It is the name of a proud tribe. We understand that Bush still had a responsibility to ask the Seminoles if they minded their name being used by one of the state’s universities, but the situation is not remotely equivalent to the “redskin” situation in Washington D.C. Please forgive us while we try to explain it to Jeb in a way that even he will understand. Think of it this way, Jeb; the Florida State “Italian-Americans” as opposed to the Washington “Dagos” or perhaps the Florida State “Jeb’s Kids” vs. the Washington “Anchor Babies.” Do you get it now, you culturally insensitive moron? We’d like to thank our Italian and Latino friends for helping us explain just how stupid and out of touch Jeb Bush really is.
