We protect and care for the health of our local trees. To help combat Boulder County’s Emerald Ash Borer (Beetle) epidemic, we’ve recently purchased a custom-made crane specially designed for the removal of dead trees on smaller urban lots where big cranes can not reach. This crane is safe and low impact and we plant a new tree after removal. We also offer complete tree care services.

Highroad Front porch politics by Jim Hightower

f you despair that a mysterious plague of incurable political knuckleheadism has swept our country, turning previously progressive white working-class people into mindless Trump worshippers, check out this report: “The Promise of a Progressive Populist Movement.” It’s from People’s Action, a grassroots coalition that sent out volunteers to knock on more than 5,000 doors, have nearly 2,500 phone conversations, and visit scores of local events and churches in “Trump Country” — dozens of rural counties in 10 swing states that went for Trump in 2016. The vol-
unteers simply had open conversations, asking folks in economically distressed rural communities what mattered to them politically. The most common initial response was, “No one’s ever asked me before.” While Trump voters are predominantly white, the working-class families visited by People’s Action included Black, Latino, Native American and other residents living in these rural areas. Practically none were worried about the inflammatory bugaboos that idolatrous Trumpsters cite: Hordes of invading aliens! Mooching poor people! Fake media. Rather, what most con-

cerned them was being told by word and deed that they — America’s hardhit and hard-working families — don’t matter. Far from converting to the Narcissistic Church of The Donald, these voters saw Trump as merely a handy, blunt-force club to whack a twoparty system that no longer speaks to — much less for — them. And rather than embracing Trump’s elitist ideology and corporate agenda, they told People’s Action that they want populist reforms like health care for all, fair wages, free access to education, clean water and a government uncorrupted by big money.

DYERTIMES from Page 6
based on the 85 percent claim by the state’s oil and gas regulatory agency, the industry claims Colorado will lose $258 million in state and local tax revenue. So, there you have the industry’s argument against Prop 112. Here’s the problem. When the COGCC made its 85 percent claim, it deliberately misled the public for the benefit of the industry it’s supposed to be regulating for the safety of the public. In order to arrive at its 85 percent number, the state regulators had to pretend that there’s no such thing as horizontal drilling, which just happens to be the only kind of drilling that can be used to frack and produce the tight shale formations in Colorado where all the drilling is taking place. The oil and gas industry can now drill horizontally up to 4 miles. To put it in laymen’s terms, if Prop 112 passes, the industry can still produce virtually all the oil and gas reserves in Colorado it could before. Oil companies would just have to drill further horizontally from a location that is less dangerous to nearby homes, etc., and that would make some wells more expensive to drill. You don’t have to believe me, even though I’ve been telling you this for five years now. A recent Colorado School of Mines study just confirmed that most oil and gas could still be developed by just horizontally drilling up to 1 mile. Just imagine if the study had looked at 4 miles of horizontal drilling. And the industry knows its dire claims about Prop 112 are phony. A 39-page report by an oil and gas consultant asked to look at the impact of Prop 112 for the industry shows that it won’t be anywhere near as bad as what the industry and its political lapdogs are claiming. With just 10,000 feet of horizontal drilling (less than 2 miles) 61 percent of the state’s oil and gas reserves are accessible even if Prop 112 passes. And this is the industry’s own research. Again, just think if drilling 4 miles horizontally had been calculated into the estimate, virtually all such reserves would have been found to be accessible after Prop 112 passes. Remember the chain reaction, folks. Since the 85-percent-lost-reserves claim is an intentionally misleading number, that means the 43,000-jobslost and $258-million-in-tax-revenuelost claims based on the 85 percent number are also false. The industry’s own research shows that its entire argument is false and the industry knows it’s lying just as the state knew it was intentionally deceiving voters by pretending horizontal drilling wasn’t an important factor to consider when calculating Prop 112’s impact. And what about that “independent” policy organization — The Common Boulder Weekly
Sense Policy Roundtable (CSPR) — that used the COGCC’s 85 percent claim to generate the equally inaccurate job and tax loss info that media organizations across the state have been mindlessly regurgitating to their readers and viewers? As our previous investigative report (see “Behind the curtain,” Sept. 17, 2015) found, CSPR is an oil and gas industry front group that shares board members with other oil and gas industry front groups such as Coloradans for Responsible Energy Development (CRED) and Vital for Colorado, which are funded by Anadarko Petroleum and Noble Energy. CSPR has also worked with Koch brothers’ funded organizations and is run by Republican fundraiser Kristin Strohm, who is married to oil and gas industry consultant and dirty trickster Josh Penry of EIS Solutions infamy. They have been called America’s first couple of fracking for a reason. And CSPR is actually the license owner — or at least was last time I checked — of the REMI economic modeling software that is so often used to make unrealistic oil industry predictions such as the aforementioned jobs and tax revenue numbers being floated this election. As I’ve been reporting for years, the one thing you can count on from CSPR and its REMI software is that the oil and gas industry will always appear many times more important to our state than it actually is. I have no idea how any legitimate news organization could dispense CSPR data while referring to this oil and gas/ Republican Party front group as an “independent” anything, yet it happens all the time. It’s simply irresponsible news reporting in the age of Google. All of this is why the citizens of Colorado have no choice but to pass Proposition 112 and protect themselves from the hazards of producing oil and gas dangerously close to their homes, schools, hospitals and water supplies. It’s clear from their intentionally misleading numbers that state regulators consider promoting oil and gas profits as more important than protecting us from contamination, explosions, health threats, lost property values and environmental devastation. Like I said, when your whole argument is that you want people to vote to put toxic contamination and explosive materials closer to where they live and work, you better be willing to tell a lot of lies and spread around a lot of money. And those are two things the oil industry has proven itself very willing to do. So please, for your own sake, don’t be as ignorant and poorly informed as the oil industry is counting on you being — instead, vote yes on Proposition 112 to protect your family, friends, neighbors and your children’s future, aka the planet.

Declaration of Human Rights (1946), which the U.S. government helped to draft. Many migrants are seeking asylum because the communities from which they are fleeing are taken over by violence. The U.S. has laws that allow such refugees to seek asylum and we have a due process system for determining who is eligible. These people are escaping dismal conditions significantly created by U.S. foreign policy. There’s the increased poverty and U.S. corporate domination as a result of the Central American Free Trade Agreement. There’s the social disintegration and violence coming after U.S. military intervention in wars in El Salvador and Nicaragua in the 1980s. There was the vicious decadeslong dictatorship in Guatemala imposed by the CIA which overthrew a democratic government in 1954. There was the U.S. supporting a coup in Honduras in 2009. Obviously, we could have a sensible discussion about how we deal with refugees and immigrants. We can’t admit all of the planet’s poor and persecuted. But Trump and the far right aren’t interested in such a discussion. Meanwhile in Grand Junction, Trump supporters calling themselves the “Mesa County Deplorables” held a “Stop The Invasion” rally. Their news release proclaimed: “The phalanx marching up from Central America is a planned invasion — a liberal invasion — of our sovereign territory.” On Denver’s right-wing KNUS (AM 710) talk radio station, host Peter Boyles hyperventilated: “There is a method to this madness, and this is my personal belief. They want a bloody confrontation, thinking it will hurt Trump. They, meaning progressives, libs, crazies, media, all of them. They want a showdown on the border. And my guarantee is that the Antifa people will show up, the openborders idiots will show, the progressives will show... And there will be a battle for that border! And if Trump puts GIs on that border, you are really going to run a lot of risks, but it’s gonna happen. It’s gonna get nasty. And this is being funded from the outside. Don’t kid yourself that this isn’t concerted. It’s being done for and by purpose.” Boyles later said Muslim jihadists are in the caravan. As usual, he didn’t provide any evidence. This wild talk has consequences. Militia groups are preparing to go to the border. On Oct. 27, a man in Pittsburgh decided he needed to act right away. Robert Bowers was going to attack the real culprits — the Jews. He entered the Tree of Life synagogue with Boulder Weekly
several weapons shouting, “All Jews must die!” He murdered 11 people and wounded six. He hates the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS). Just before the massacre, Bowers posted on the social network Gab, “HIAS likes to bring invaders in that kill our people. I can’t sit by and watch my people get slaughtered. Screw your optics, I’m going in.” Earlier, he posted: “Open you Eyes! It’s the filthy evil jews Bringing the Filthy evil Muslims into the Country!!”
HIAS is a global not-for-profit organization founded in 1881 to help Jews fleeing pogroms (organized massacres) in Russia and Eastern Europe. The group protects refugees of all kinds. It partners with the U.S. government to resettle refugees as part of the U.S. refugee admissions program. HIAS has protested the Muslim ban and other Trump anti-immigrant policies, visited refugees in detention, and provided housing for Syrians and others fleeing persecution.
Bowers believes the migrant caravan is a part of a Jewish conspiracy. Maybe he got the idea from Fox News and various Republican politicians like Trump. They have been charging that George Soros, the liberal Jewish philanthropist, is the evil mastermind behind the caravan (along with Black Lives Matter, the Women’s March, the anti-Kavanaugh demonstrations and much more).

e urge City voters to vote yes on Ballot Question 2G, which reads, “Shall Sections 38, 45, and 56 of the City Charter be amended pursuant to Ordinance 8274 to allow the Boulder City Council to adopt ordinances that permit use of electronic petitions and to permit on-line electronic signing or endorsement of initiative, referendum, and recall petitions?” The City’s Campaign Finance and Elections Working Group unanimously recommended this to Council, who unanimously voted to put it on the ballot. (The initiative, referendum and recall processes are the elements of direct democracy. The initiative is where a group of citizens gathers enough signatures to put a proposed piece of legislation on the ballot and asks the voters to approve it. A referendum uses a similar process to give citizens a chance to vote directly on legislation already passed by the governing body. And recalls ask the voters if they want to remove an elected official from office, typically for some serious malfeasance.) A great deal of what made our city and state great was accomplished with ballot initiatives. Here in Boulder, citizens gathered signatures for and then passed the country’s first voter-approved open space tax and first gay rights law, among many things we take for granted. On the state level, citizens put on the ballot and passed the country’s first renewable energy requirements and first legal marijuana and hemp, among 13 important initiatives in the last 18 years: tinyurl.com/Coloradoin. Unfortunately, in its more than a century of existence, these processes have not been significantly improved for the most part, but have been made more difficult, as with Colorado’s Amendment 71. 2G will enable our City Council to bring direct democracy into the 21st century (finally!) in two ways: first by allowing circulators to gather signatures using specially equipped tablets, like those used in Denver and Washington D.C., a system called “eSign,” that are synchronized to the state voter registration database daily. It has already reduced invalid signatures from 34 percent (cited in a recent Daily Camera editorial) to less than 5 percent. 2G also allows the Council to imple-
ment a system so that citizens can endorse petitions ONLINE. We’ve been able to register to vote, or change address or party affiliation online in Colorado (since 2010) and in 35 other states, and have been able to open bank accounts and make financial transactions online for many years. The idea is to use similar security and identification by driver’s license or other state ID to allow citizens to endorse petitions online. If it’s good enough to give you the right to vote, it’s more than good enough to let you sign a petition that might get you the right to vote on a citizen initiative. So it’s clear, this will not apply to actual voting, which will continue to be done using secret ballots. Using an online system will open up the process to groups without large funds, resulting in a greater diversity of proposals. It will make it easy to read petitions, because the full text will be available online. And people will be able to sign 24/7 from anywhere at any time. It will also prevent you from accidentally signing a petition twice, and allow you to “unsign” a petition if you change your mind. An online system will also allow the City to save the expense of comparing physical signatures, because identification will be done by driver’s license or ID as at the voter registration website GoVoteColorado.com. 2G will also allow the city council to eliminate all the problems that have shown up when using paid petitioners, including forgery, misrepresentation, stealing of petitions, holding petitions hostage for money and the paid harassment of petitioners. Of course, 2G does not change the ability to continue to use paper petitions; it simply allows the council to implement these other alternatives, once they are satisfied that they are secure and reliable. 2G has been endorsed by the Boulder County Democratic Party, PLAN Boulder County, the Rocky Mountain Peace and Justice Center, Our Revolution Boulder and East Boulder County United, so far. You can learn much more at tinyurl.com/ yacecc5q and at our Facebook group Strengthen Direct Democracy. 2G or not 2G, it’s not really a question!

Colorado needs a representative like Karen McCormick I write in strong support of Karen McCormick for Congress in Colorado’s 4th District. She is exactly the person we need at this moment in time — balanced, smart, capable, well-spoken and inclusive. She would represent the people of the 4th District very well — energetically, fairly and with great attention to the needs and issues of those who live in the district. As a working vet with her own practice, she has owned and run a small business for over 20 years, so she understands well the issues of small business owners. She will successfully represent both parties. Republicans have nothing to fear from Karen McCormick. She is the daughter of a Navy family and has had those values instilled in her since birth. Having been raised in a family of gun owners, she understands the importance of the Second Amendment to her constituents. To Karen McCormick, service, courage and integrity aren’t Republican or Democratic values — they’re American values. She lives these values every day, and in Congress, she will be a strong voice for our Colorado way of life. Molly Baldrige/Hygiene
Vote like all life depends on it Our nation was founded on the wildly progressive idea that all people are created equal, and that each should enjoy equal rights under the law. Each individual American was to achieve this via a share representative government of the people and for the people. That’s just not happening. We protest and call our representatives. We write letters. We march. And we are ignored. Most Americans want to be able to live and raise families in a safe community, with good schools and safe roads, and to earn a decent living so we can put food on the table. Most of us want to be able to go to the doctor when we are sick. And, with a dream and lots of willpower, we believe each ought to be able to rise and achieve it. We believe every child should be able to attend good schools and be safe there from both bullying and bullets. We trust women as equals. We stand for justice for all, no matter who we love or the color of our skin. Boulder Weekly
We think clean air and water are important, that this shared treasure of an Earth is worth preserving and protecting not only for us humans, but for all life. I don’t know if our democracy works well enough anymore to be saved. We must overturn Citizens United, end dark money, and stop our elected officials from turning into lobbyists and back like some kind of weird revolving door where big money wins and we the people keep losing. It’s time to reclaim American government for we the people. It’s time to kick greed to the curb. We have to do everything we can to save our democracy, and then, when we do, finish the important work of making sure it works for all of us. If we vote in record numbers on Nov. 6, I hope we’ll discover that “We the People” can still win, that elections still matter, and that we still live in the land of the free. Vote like your life — indeed all life — depends on it. Sara Wright/Colorado Foundation for Universal Health Care
Protect Climate: Yes on Prop 112 As hurricanes continue to devastate the Southeast we are reminded that climate change has consequences. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released a report on Oct. 8 warning that there is only a small window left to institute radical change to the way we produce and consume energy and that leaving the remaining oil, coal and gas reserves in the ground is essential if catastrophic warming is to be avoided. While passing Prop 112 in November would do nothing to the 55,000 active wells in the state, it would limit the proliferation of new development by creating common-sense setbacks that protect public health and safety. Rather than continuing to invest in an industry which, as a whole, is much less lucrative or necessary than it wants you to believe, we could be investing in Green Energy which is what the IPCC report points to. A major component of fracked natural gas is methane, and we now know methane contributes to global warming much more than carbon dioxide — 84 times more, on a 20-year time scale. There are many reasons to support Prop 112, but if you care about further destabilization of our climate and the enormous impacts this will continue to have, vote yes for safer setbacks.

Status of backlogged drilling permits still in question by Angela K. Evans
A
news
regularly scheduled hearing of the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) on Oct. 29, quickly turned into a public debate over Proposition 112, the 2,500-foot setback measure on the Colorado ballot this year. If passed, Prop 112 would increase the current setback distance for oil and gas development from 500 feet from homes and 1,000 feet from schools and hospitals to 2,500 feet for all. Of concern to the supporters of Prop 112 is a major surge in drilling permit applications submitted in recent months as oil and gas companies try to get their permits approved before voters have their say over setbacks. “We find it appalling that you’re looking to approve a flurry of permits just days before we have a chance to vote,” Deborah McNamara of 350 Colorado told the commission. According to COGCC reports, the agency has 5,551 backlogged drilling permits as of Oct. 1, up from 1,992 at this time last year. The backlog is the largest since the COGCC started tracking this data point in July 1994, Department of Natural Resources (DNR) spokesperson Travis Duncan said in an email. “This is not the first time COGCC has had a backlog of permits. We continue to work through it as staffing allows,” he said, promising that there would be no change to the current permitting process. Yet it appears that something has occurred to significantly speed up the permitting process. In 2017, it took the COGCC an average of 111.25 days to process an application. So far this year, that time frame has decreased by approximately 30 percent to just 78.5 days. The Colorado Oil and Gas Association (COGA) said both economics and politics have driven companies to submit the rush of applications. “With prices having rebounded from two years ago, the economics are good for oil and natural gas development in Colorado. That, plus the fact that Proposition 112 is an attempt to ban our businesses, is pushing permitting application levels,” Dan Haley, CEO of COGA, said in an email statement. The organization urged its members to attend the COGCC hearing this week and speak out against Prop 112. The hearing itself did not address the backlog, as COGCC staff, and not the commissioners, approve well and location permits, Duncan said. The majority of issues on the docket for the two-day hearing were spacing and pooling issues, and yet only a handful of speakers addressed specific items on the agenda. Rather, speakers from both sides of the debate took their opportunity in front of the commissioners to address their concerns with the backlog, Prop 112 and the future of the industry. Pro-Prop 112 speakers frequently mentioned the Boulder Weekly
Angela K. Evans
preponderance of oil and gas explosions over the last several years, emphasizing both the Firestone explosion in 2017 that resulted in the death of two men and the most recent blast that occurred over the weekend. On Oct. 27, three contractors working for Mallard Exploration were injured in a tank explosion just east of Briggsdale in Weld County. Two were treated for minor injuries nearby, while the third remains in critical condition. According to a GoFundMe page set up by his family, Dillon Dreher sustained second- and thirddegree burns covering more than 60 percent of his body and is in a medically induced coma. “Another month, another explosion,” State Rep. Mike Foote told the commission. “These are all very tragic circumstances, but unfortunately they’ve become all too routine. I think what they tell us is that a dangerous industrial activity does not belong next to homes and schools. Even if people do things correctly, even if they do everything right, these things are dangerous operations.” State Senator and Boulder County Commissioner candidate Matt Jones also spoke about victims of oil and gas explosions, quoting Firestone victim Joey Irwin’s brother, Brett, in his support of Prop 112: “I was hoping it would wake up Colorado a little bit. It started as greed, it still is greed, and if we don’t do something about it, it will happen again.” Those who oppose Prop 112 attempted to counter this narrative by ensuring that the current rules that govern drilling in Colorado are the strongest in the country, and that the ballot measure, if passed, wouldn’t have prevented the Firestone explosion. “No setback or anything of that sort by the oil and gas commission would have prevented that. The problem lies within the cities and municipalities allowing 150-foot setbacks from existing wells. So if you’re going to have a rule or a law it needs to go both ways,” Charlie Schmidt who works for the oil and gas industry, told the commissioners. Still, the hearing was dominated by speakers in favor of Prop 112. They asked the commissioners to defer to the Colorado Court of Appeals’ March 2017 ruling in favor of the young plaintiffs in Martinez v. Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission. The lawsuit has been ongoing since 2013 when Xiuhtezcatl Martinez of Boulder, along with other young people, first asked the COGCC to consider making a rule that prioritizes
public health and safety over industry interests when An Oct. 29 public considering permits, instead hearing at the of trying to balance the two COGCC drew a large crowd of both competing priorities as the supporters and commission has been doing opponents of Prop 112. in its current interpretation of state law. Although lower courts sided with the COGCC, the Court of Appeals supported the teenagers. The commission, with the help of Attorney General Cynthia Coffman, has appealed the decision and the Colorado Supreme Court heard oral arguments for the case on Oct. 16, without any indication of when to expect a ruling. “You’ve sacrificed our children’s health and safety for the profits of the oil and gas industry and thrown away our children’s future,” Prop 112 supporter Elisabeth Glick told the commissioners on Monday. “The law of the land is the Martinez case, we ask you to stop permitting until we reach what works for the health and safety of this beautiful state.” If passed, Prop 112 will still have to be signed by the governor before the COGCC would have to start considering it during its permitting process. According to an email from a senior attorney in the Office of Legislative Legal Services, Colorado General Assembly, it would likely take in the neighborhood of 30-60 days after the election for the governor to sign Prop 112 into law. That would make the likely effective date of Prop 112 sometime between Dec. 10 and Jan. 15, 2019. Permits granted before the governor’s proclamation would be considered grandfathered in and allowed to proceed with drilling and production operations even if within 2,500 feet of vulnerable areas as set forth in the proposition. The fate of the massive backlog of pending permits is less clear. When asked by BW whether or not pending applications would also be considered grandfathered, the DNR’s Duncan said the COGCC doesn’t know the answer to that question. Senator Matt Jones old BW that only the permits fully approved before the governor’s signature would be grandfathered in. It appears that attorneys and the courts may yet get the final say when it comes to the status of the thousands of backlogged permits currently sitting at the COGCC. November 1, 2018 13

Boulder County to Denver Water: Local permit needed for Gross Reservoir expansion Boulder County Land Use Director Dale Case announced on Oct. 23 that Denver Water must receive a permit from Boulder County in order to proceed with its expansion of Gross Reservoir. Denver Water has plans to raise the dam at Gross Reservoir by 131 feet in order to accommodate what they project as increased water needs in the Denver metro area in the coming decades. The expansion would increase Gross Reservoir’s capacity by 25 billion gallons (which, itself, would comprise about six times the capacity of Boulder Reservoir, for reference). Critics of the plan, which include environmental groups and those who live near the reservoir, say the expansion is unnecessary because conservation has proven to be effective — Denver Water users have reduced consumption by 22 percent since 2002 despite the utility’s service area experiencing a 10-percent increase in population. Too, critics of the plan say diverting that much more water to Gross Reservoir will effectively kill the Colorado and Fraser Rivers. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers granted Denver Water approval for the project in August 2017. The project still needs approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). But there was some debate between Boulder County and Denver Water about whether the water utility would need to apply for and receive a permit from the County, as well. Though the expansion would not be a Boulder County-run project, the reservoir does reside in its jurisdiction, and the County argued it has broad authority to review projects within its boundaries. Denver Water claimed there is an exemption in state zoning law that would allow it to bypass the County permitting process. In his determination on Oct. 23, Case disagreed. Denver Water is allowed to appeal Case’s decision to the Boulder County Board of Commissioners.
Commissioners condemn funding surge for Amendment 74 The Boulder County Commissioners publicly condemned a surge of $10 million in funding by those in support of Amendment 74 to promote passage of the ballot issue. The Commissioners wrote on Oct. 22 that Amendment 74, which would allow land owners to recoup losses for decisions made by the government that affect their property values, is a “dangerous and deceptive” ploy by the oil and gas industry. “The oil and gas industry is pouring millions of dollars into this terrible proposed constitutional amendment aimed at disrupting our communities at a fundamental level,” said Commissioner Deb Gardner in a statement. “Each dollar spent underscores the industry’s adversarial approach to government and regulation. This industry likes to tell my constituents they are partners who wish to work with government regulators but its support of Amendment 74 show industry’s true colors.” Critics of Amendment 74 (Boulder Weekly recommended a no vote on this issue) say it’s a cynical plot by the oil and gas industry to punish any governing body that wants to limit extraction in any way, and that the collateral damage of the amendment would bankrupt municipalities and counties. “I have little doubt that the oil and gas industry will attempt to use Amendment 74 to betray the basic values that make Colorado a great place to live,” said Commissioner Cindy Domenico in a statement. “No one knows the real effect of the amendment, but many people are concerned that it could bankrupt local governments and roll back the basic zoning and land use regulations that Coloradans take for granted. That’s why every responsible party in the state is urging a NO vote on Amendment 74.”

T
he world of Jason DeMarte’s Jason DeMarte photos appears familiar at layers images of first. You see fauna and flora, the environment with images vibrantly colored birds and of man-made plants in front of cloudy objects, like ice cream dripping skies. But, with a closer look, someoff flowers and thing seems off. butterflies in ‘Vanilla Sky.’ In “Invasive Apathy,” pink, textured objects float through the air. Are they strange caterpillars? No, they’re pieces of candy. In “Vanilla Sky,” globs of a thick, white substance sit heavy on the tops of flowers. Is it snow or maybe animal excrement? No, it’s ice cream. In “Corn Syrup Summer”... you get the idea. Sitting at the intersection of nature and consumer culture, DeMarte’s artwork provokes an uncomfortable question: how have we impacted the environment around us, even in the most subtle ways? DeMarte intentionally invokes this curiosity with his BMoCA at Macky exhibit Anthrome, showing through Nov. 25. For the name of his exhibit, DeMarte chose a word he came across that means “hybrid human-natural systems that now dominate the Earth’s surface.” “It means that in the future everything natural will have some sort of human element in it,” he says. “Everything will have some sort of manipulation by us. It’s that way now — where nature is [inseparable] from us. There’s no division anymore.” The show spans several years of DeMarte’s career, and showcases See ANTHROME Page 18

other environmental scenes speckled with neon dots along with his sticky, sweet environmental shots. In “Eager Beaver,” a beaver family crawls on their dam, which is spotted with bright blue circles, disorienting the viewer away from the seemingly normal landscape shot. In “Suspended Splendor,” a manatee swims through an ocean cluttered with green circles. Fascinated by the environment from a young age, DeMarte quickly took to nature photography when his dad gave him a camera at age 12. He realized the power photography gave him to document his experience in the world, showing other people what he saw. DeMarte went on to study photography and has used it as his main method of artistic expression. The catalyst for Anthrome was his early work photographing dioramas in natural history museums. DeMarte was drawn to the irony of outdoor landscapes set in indoor spaces. Moreover, he realized the dioramas provided a quick and simple way for museumgoers to consume nature, without experiencing it first-hand. “There’s an immediate gratification. Instead of going to the top of a mountain to see these scenes, all you had to do was pay for parking and admission,” he says. Watching people walk between the scenes, Demarte likened it to window shopping, the dioramas basically apply-
ing the same models used for Anthrome advertising and respresents an evolution of selling goods. DeMarte’s work, Furthermore, starting with his earliest pieces DeMarte was depicting plastic struck by the superimposed on natural fantastical crescenes. ations portrayed by the dioramas, scenes that would probably never exist organically. The natural scenes were transformed into, “an appealing, consumable form, as easily digestible chunks of information,” he says. Intrigued by this idea, he began pursuing the connection between nature and consumerism further in his own work. Along with shooting in natural history museums, DeMarte took photos in biodomes and around his neighborhood. He then began introducing unnatural products into these nature shots. All of the elements in DeMarte’s work are real. He takes photos of each object individually, such as birds he sees in his yard, foliage found on his street or extra cake sprinkles lying around the house. Then, he layers the images together to create his final product, uniting seemingly disparate tangible items into a single image. “With a painting, you can pass it off as the artist’s imagination coming through,” he says. “But I use photography because it has that inherent sense Boulder Weekly

Misadventures from the hills of Boulder to the notorious Californian coast by Addie Levinsky Addie Levinsky
I
took a wrong turn — a relative statement given that what I was following was hardly a navigable road. At the foot of my bike wheel, a spread of white feathers dripping with scarlet blood surrounded a bird carcass, presumably fresh. It appeared to have been shot. I kept moving without a second thought. Just one more switchback. Grinding up a 20-percent gravel surface on 28-millimeter tires meant for pavement was hardly efficient. Or fun. But, damnit, when had that stopped me before? Private property signs adorned the trees, or what was left of the bare branches anyway. I was riding through a burn area in one of Boulder’s many canyons, a community with an eerie feeling — that Hills Have Eyes feeling. I gazed to my right, seeing an old, battered Cadillac in my periphery. Memories of the previous summer flooded my brain; it was the summer I’d hopped between Boulder and Northern California. I’d hardly call the marooned Cadillac now at my feet vintage, but you bet the bullet holes and broken glass screamed Bonnie and Clyde. So there I was, on the aptly named Escape Route connecting Sugarloaf and Four Mile Canyon — it’s one of the few spots I’ve found that can burst the Boulder Bubble, and it was there where I dwelled on the (mis)adventures I’ve stumbled upon through movement, through self-inflicted suffering, throughout the great American West. In March 2017, I’d hit the road for yet another solo trip in an attempt to get closer to that elusive “soul” feeling, and as always, it was catalyzed by my insatiable thirst for movement. I found myself on California’s Golden Coast, a mass of land unlike any other in which I’d lost myself time and time again. There’s something about the towering redwoods, the lush wooded crevices that offer solitude amid insanity. What I went there for is the catharsis I find in riding my bike for so long and so hard that my whole body burns. In Boulder, movement is, quite frankly, a drug. And I overdosed on it. While I continued to crave the crankturning catharsis, I reached a point where I had to search for adventure elsewhere; my body simply started saying “no more.” So this new California adventure was also the beginning of try20 November 1, 2018
When you drive solo into the hills, find yourself stranded in the depth of night amid bullet casings and broken-down cars, who do you call? What do you do?
adventure ing that ever-so-glamorous van life thing. But I didn’t have a van. I had a Honda Element. Living in the Honda (nicknamed the HOTELement) meant I was going to have a far less romanticized version of “van life,” with far fewer plans for “adventures.” But what is adventure, really? Is it defined by the things you see and experience outside, or by the things you learn and discover inside yourself, pedaling onward into the unknown? Mendocino County, roughly five hours north of San Francisco if you opt for the scenic route (which you should), along the Golden Coast, is notorious for its massive marijuana grows, which have historically produced, for one, a transient population looking to hide their illicit activity in thousands upon thousands of acres of lush forest due east of the rugged coastline. And, for two, good weed. It was early summer, no later than 7 p.m., when I started to pull my Honda out of a dilapidated parking lot overrun by weeds and stray children (or were they cats? I can’t remember). Situated an hour north of Santa Rosa, I was eager to discover the lesser-known hills of Mendocino. With only my single-speed cyclocross bike in tow, as an attempt to
rest my tired body, I tried to take advantage of traveling by car to further explore places a bike may not necessarily be advised (as if that had stopped me before...). Along the coast, there’s little to lure a human any further than the safety of the scenic pullouts on Highway One. There are no sea lions, no suspension bridges showcased in HBO series and certainly no tourists snapping photos. But anyway, I’m a Colorado girl. My heart yearns for mountains. So into the “mountains” of Mendocino County I went. Apparently, the same logic for adventure biking holds for finding a good parking spot for the night: a narrow road? Rad. No evidence of human beings? Even better — I’m an introvert after all. Topping out on a hill with a view overlooking the ocean? I’ll be there. I spotted a ridge that I decided would be my morning coffee spot. I started up the gravel road, which wound its way into the 23,000-acre Cow Mountain Recreation Area. I decided to keep going past my morning ridge just for kicks. A bit of sunlight still lingered anyway. The gravel road narrowed, and as I got deeper into the mountain, the dim daylight petered to darkness when a steep ravine emerged out of nowhere.
Slowing from my speedy 10 miles per hour, I glanced out the window, only to feel a chill run down my spine. I had company. It wasn’t the imaginary friend that I at times hallucinate after thousands of solo road miles. It was my backseat driver, Intuition, who’d perked up. I’d more or less been ignoring them on this trip — you know how those pesky backseat drivers can be. But it wasn’t just Intuition who joined the party. It was also the car that had just appeared to my right: grill-first into the ditch, its windows completely blown out, creating a barrier of broken glass. Torn and tattered rags hung from bare tree branches, bullet casings littered the ground. Isn’t this how the perfect horror movie starts? Sounds began to echo down the ravine, toward me. Apparently wild boar roam the Mendocino hills. And, so I’m told, wild boar are bloodthirsty swine with the tenacity of vultures. Intuition, the passenger I’d suddenly never been so happy to have, steered me straight out of Cow Mountain. I flipped with a kind of fury I can only equate to having just seen a ghost. I drove back to my coveted sunrise-coffee-spot ridge to consider other options that would be less likely to result in a Dateline special. Waiting for one bar to appear on my phone, I inched toward the road I came in on. That lasted about ten seconds. POP! Well, damn. Straddling the “road” and the edge of the ridge, my rear passenger tire exploded. Right off the damn rim. And I, blessed with an irrational case of anxiety, just thought, this is fine... The sun was gone completely and the hills started to open their eyes. One bar of cell service appeared like a satellite carrying miracles was circling above me. I, of course, used my one lifeline to call my dad, who could essentially do absolutely nothing from 1,200 miles away. All it would achieve, in retrospect, was setting him into sheer panic. After some “Oh shit” exchanges, I Boulder Weekly
called my insurance and they dispatched a tow-truck driver. Oddly enough, they weren’t able to pinpoint my GPS location beyond a few miles from the closest town. Had they seen where I actually was, there’s no way they would’ve bothered coming to rescue me or my car. I flipped on the HOTELelement’s string lights and tried to get comfortable, or as comfortable as one can be stranded alone in Charles Manson country. After more than three hours, there was still no hint of a tow-truck. Any faint sound or light in the distance set my heart rate to high speed. Like the rusty rumbling that was now creeping up the canyon. “Are you OK?” a voice cut through the darkness. I popped my head out of the car. It wasn’t the tow-truck, but a burly Manson look-a-like. Where the hell was he headed in his jalopy? There’s not much recreation down there. “Yep. I’m great.” Right where I need to be. Nothing to see here. This is completely intentional. “Do you want a beer?” You have no idea. Do you have any whiskey? “I’m good, but thanks!” Move along, sir. Move along. What was probably an additional seven seconds of lingering, post beer-offer, felt like an eternity. Forget the tire, where’s my truck driver that has presumably gone through a background check? It was pitch black at this point. I don’t even know why I bothered with a headlamp — there was nothing I cared to see as I’d been in the same spot for three hours. I clutched my knife. Then another string of rumbles kicked up. Maybe those lights meant it was a tow truck? Or maybe I was just hallucinating? Honestly, I would’ve taken that. Anything would’ve been better than sitting in stark silence, with no evidence of help. Or hope. The rumbles stopped and a flashlight emerged. My knight in shining armor — who I was certain must be the tow truck driver — came forward, took one quick look at me, at my car, and back at me. He was visibly shaken by the drive, but equally shaken when he saw a small gal flying solo deep in the hills of Cow Mountain. “You’re not here alone are you?” Nice to meet you too, sir. “I sure am...” “You have a gun, right?” I apprehensively showed off my knife, and mentioned something about pocket mace. Idiot. I literally just outed myself for bringing a knife to a potential gunfight. But this man’s voice was gentle, only his features were so rugged. Like I got the sense that he’d seen some shit. Little did I know at the time, but he’d spent 10 years in Iraq and Afghanistan, Boulder Weekly
returning to his hometown to go to school on the G.I. Bill, and eventually, apparently, on to rescuing girls with poor judgment. “I was in the Army for 10 years and I wouldn’t be caught dead up here, even in a group.” I laugh it off. He doesn’t think it’s funny. We get down to business, putting on the spare tire. Such a menial task I have been waiting three hours to have done, but I explained to him the concern of the cliff, the jacking of the car, the possibility of it falling off... “Those were your concerns up here? I’d be concerned about a lot more than that.” He told me to follow him down to more solid ground and within barely a minute, he came to a complete stop, motioning for me to get out of the car. Better grab that knife, you damn fool. This is it. You put on a good show, you innocent tow-truck driver. “Did you see that?!” His enthusiasm comforted me, especially as I realized he was talking about an owl. My eyes, completely glazed over, searched for bright yellow eyes, for the sake of at least seeing something out here. But there was nothing. I’ll take his word for it. “Can we just get going?” I sheepishly asked. Once we rolled the HOTELement onto the back of the tow truck, I hopped into the front seat next to my knight. Well, this is luxurious. As we very, very slowly started to head back down the gravel, it seemed far longer and harder to navigate than on the way up. The knight’s name may have escaped me, but I’ll never forget his story. “I’m from here, you know,” he tells me. “These aren’t friendly hills. Are you familiar with Ted Bundy? Charles Ng? The Golden State Killer? This was their turf. I can’t tell you how many bodies have been dumped out here. And not to mention the wild boar. Those bloodthirsty mothers... Why in the world are you out here?” I could have told him I was clueless. That I was steered in the wrong direction by both my map and my intuition. That wasn’t the truth, though. I was looking for something that would rattle me even if I didn’t have any foresight at that time. I have been chasing the adrenaline high for so long, from riding bikes and exploring the mountains of Colorado, heading west into California. Feeling out of control, teetering on the brink of the sheer unknown... that’s why I came out to Cow Mountain. It wasn’t a picturesque moment. It wasn’t really even an adventure, if there was a definition. But it’s those moments, the ones you don’t ask for, or inflict upon yourself, that truly invigorate the spirit to keep on grinding.

EXPLORING BOLDLY
mountains, like-minded creatives and personal freedom — that catapulted his career as an outdoor adventure artist. Several seasons of fall foliage later, Vicarel’s art career has taken off wildly. He’s come to accept that chasing bold dreams requires long hours in the studio, but he knows hard work — and giving up that cushy 9-to-5 paycheck — were well worth the reward. “Sure, I put in more hours ‘working’ than most people, but I feel immensely fulfilled. I travel a lot for work, I draw a lot for work, and I connect with a ton of incredible humans through my work,” he says. “When I reflect upon these aspects of my work, I realize that people often spend their entire lives trying to find a vocation that’s fulfilling, while retaining sanity by regularly indulging in their avocation. I was fortunate enough to find in my mid-20s that my vocation and my avocation are one in the same.” Vicarel now runs a boutique brand, design and art studio, Vicarel Studio. Across his multiple artistic styles, including hand-drawn typography, Vicarel finds the inspiration for virtually all of his artwork in the outdoors. “Perfectly imperfect,” as he calls it, is exactly what his base of 25,000 Instagram fans expect regularly. “Themes such as growth and decay, weathered with time and hand-hewn tend to pop up again and again in my work. Mostly, but not always, this

hen Adam Vicarel first moved to Colorado with big dreams and an empty wallet, he thought he’d made a huge mistake. It was the summer of 2014, and the designer had just spent five months backpacking around the globe before settling into a new “normal life” in downtown Denver. Lost in daydreams of his carefree adventures, the new urban environment was startling. Maybe moving to a new place as a freelance artist on a dime had been a bad idea. But, in truth, he was less worried about how he’d make ends meet and more concerned about maintaining his connection with the great outdoors. Nature was this selfdescribed “bug-eating adventurer’s” greatest artistic motivator, after all. Then fall foliage hit. It was a last-minute trip to see the aspens changing in the Maroon Bells that shook Vicarel out of his nostalgic daydream and into a gold-and-red speckled reality; the jolt of restarting life in Colorado was actually exactly what he needed. It was this leap of faith — a life-changing move from Ohio in pursuit of snow-capped

means drawn by hand, and my desired aesthetic is frequently derived from these core themes,” he says. While global adventures inspire a good portion of his work, the adventure opportunities Vicarel has uncovered in Colorado constantly motivate him to grow and create. That’s why he risked a comfortable career and steady paycheck to move here in the first place. “I came out here with the hopes of being surrounded by people who shared a similar mindset,” he says. “I’ve always been turned off by the idea of ‘living to work.’ I so frequently chat with people who are out here because they love the lifestyle this city affords them. The ability to work in a city and have plenty to do — food, drink, music — as well as be a short drive from the mountains is amazing.” Like more and more millennials, Vicarel began to question the cookie cutter 9-to-5 life during his first years post-college. The Cleveland native started his career designing T-shirts for a small company in Dayton, Ohio. While he loved the company and learned a great deal about design, he felt restless. He was lacking one critical factor — the missing link in both his personal, and therefore professional, life: adventure. With a bit of planning and a boatload of courage, Vicarel quit his job to embark on a fivemonth backpacking excursion through Southeast Asia. At the time, Vicarel had barely scratched the see VICAREL Page 24

But this bold decision to risk it all reaped major rewards — rewards he would have never discovered in the confines of a 9-to-5 job.

Vicarel returned to the States knowing he had to pursue a life of meaning by breaking from the norm, but he faced the question many aspiring entrepreneurs ponder behind their safe 9-to-5 desks: how? Instead of sitting on the question with excuse after excuse, Vicarel made a bold decision. He packed up his life and just went for it. When Vicarel moved to Denver in 2014, he had the support of a growing community on Instagram who loved both his artwork and his inspiring journey to “freedom.” Because Vicarel was authentically himself — a bold doer, adventure seeker and bug eater (seriously, he talks about eating bugs on a regular basis) — this social media community actually sparked several early career opportunities. Within one year, Vicarel transformed his hobby sketches into brand collaborations with companies such as Coleman, and more recently, Sharpie. Since the big move, he’s translated his fusion of art and adventure into design work for outdoor- and Colorado-based brands, including Mountain Standard, New Belgium and Zeal Optics. And he’s paying it forward by teaching aspiring designers how to fine-tune their skills and pursue their artistic dreams through speaking gigs and workshops. Of course, with great success in entrepreneurship comes hard work (and long hours). After early freelance successes, Vicarel quickly found himself back in the “all work, no play” rut after his move, and didn’t like it. That’s why he’s coined the term “pursuing balance” as a tagline that guides his daily life. “Both nature and adventure constantly remind me that there’s more to life than working,” he says. “I absolutely love what I do, but sometimes design can become all-consuming. For the past few years I’ve found a rhythm of working my tail off, and then taking big trips — anywhere from one to 11 months. These adventures prove to be massively beneficial for me mentally and for my career trajectory.” Fortunately, he has an advantage when attempting to pursue balance in Colorado — outdoor adventures are right outside his door. Staying up all night to watch the 2016 Perseid Meteor Shower at Twin Lakes was one instance where Vicarel found much-needed artistic stimulation. He also took his adventure icon, his father, on a trek to Boulder Lake while creating content like a fusion of typography and photography for Coleman. And during a branding project for Zeal Optics, Vicarel spent a week in the mountains of Aspen shooting and collaborating with inspiring athletes. Boulder Weekly
Come winter, life for this snow-loving Coloradan gets even sweeter. “A few years ago, some friends and I hit up Breckenridge for a ski trip. One of my best buddies and I got the sixth chair on a lift to the back side of Breck, and had 12 to 16 inches of fresh, untouched powder,” he says. “The two of us absolutely bombed the mountain. I was laughing so hard the tears that escaped my goggles froze to my face. I’ve never had a more joyous, laughterfilled seven minutes of my life.” No matter the volume of work, out-
door adventures for this artist are only beginning. In fact, Vicarel often comments that he wants to be able to share fascinating stories with his grandkids one day — though undoubtedly, he’ll be adventuring (and of course eating bugs) right along with them. But for now, Vicarel is continuing to pursue his own personal balance through artwork, the great outdoors and chasing big dreams, while simultaneously using his platform to inspire his fans to do the same. “I have been fortunate enough to
build a business that revolves around creating, and I was afforded this opportunity through following just this principle — exploring boldly,” he posted to Instagram recently. “My current position would have never been possible without the experiences and perspective gained through quitting my job and traveling for the majority of 2014. Funny how something as counterintuitive as quitting a job and traveling can actually lead to the best job opportunities of my life. I chalk it up to following my gut and exploring boldly.”

was kind of off the jam scene for almost 15 years,” reflects Erik Deutsch on his current stint as keyboardist for Leftover Salmon. “I mean, I’d do things like play Brooklyn Bowl, or do an Everyone Orchestra, do a tour with The Motet, things like that, but I kinda was off it. “Coming back to it now, really for the first time since Fat Mama, it’s kinda nice because the fans are so good. Salmon fans really care about the players in the band, they care about your solo, they research all my side projects. Even when I was playing with Charlie Hunter, when I was just getting my sideman stuff going, the fans just weren’t as rabid.” So yeah, it came as a little bit of a surprise — maybe in a squaring-the-circle kind of way, not so much a surprise — when Deutsch stepped in to fill Bill Payne’s vacated keyboard seat in Salmon in 2016. Sure, Deutsch and Fat Mama were amping up a horn and electronics funk brew in the burgeoning groove scene around the same time — late ’90s to early aughts — as the first phase of Salmon was peaking. But still, versatile as he is, we always considered Deutsch a jazz guy, or at least a songwriter with the chops and deeply informed lexicon of a jazz player. For all their breadth and liberated genre-mashing, Salmon is and always has been essentially an Americana band, hatched from string music, garnished with Caribe and Cajun seasonings. They thrived in the same scene that Fat Mama did, but played a very different ball game. We love ’em both, but when Deutsch talks about coming back to the jam scene after years of putting out 26 November 1 , 2018
solo jazz records and sideman gigs — with Nora Jones, Phillip Phillips, Shooter Jennings, Roseanne Cash et al, supporting his solo jazz career in Brooklyn — Salmon isn’t exactly the scene he walked away from in the first place. It’s all good, says Deutsch. He’s a little — a lot — less worried about what the NY scene thinks of Leftover Who from Where. His reputation is intact, and he’s out to play with a really good band and have some fun. “The thing about Salmon is that they have almost no pre-determination about what the music needs to be.” They’re past needing to define themselves. “Almost all artists you work with, and I’ve worked with a lot at this point, are fairly precious about their thing. Even if they try not to be, in the end there’s still a kind of ‘I built this thing, and this is the formula’ kind of vibe. With Salmon, it’s wide open. “All the years of doing the jazz gigs in NY, doing my own stuff, doing the pop gigs, all that stuff I did was really fulfilling musically, really diverse and fun. I’ve gotten a lot of experience, a nice resume, respect from my peers. Meeting managers and crew members. What you don’t get is a lot of fans. Playing with Salmon I get a huge amount of support now, and that feels great.” Somehow, squeezed in between more than 100 Salmon shows this year, Deutsch managed to cut a solo album, his sixth, released in September.

From the woozy, organdriven New Orleans-cum-Cubano vibe of “Jump Change,” to the bouncing boogie of “Big Bongos” and the lithe, whimsical “Ghostfeather,” Deutsch jukes from vibe to vibe with authority. Each tune knows what it is and has the room to stretch out and mature. But this isn’t a genre-showcase exercise; we thought, upon first listen, this was a composer’s album. “I’ve always wanted to make songs that are memorable. Even more than a composer, I want to be a songwriter. I’ve always thought the difference was a composer is a master of building from a simple idea, constructing something.

a r t s & culture Violinist Midori comes to Boulder as a concerto soloist and much, much more Week-long residency includes teaching, master classes and a public lecture by Peter Alexander
S
ometimes a soloist is more than a soloist. The next concert of the Boulder Philharmonic features the violinist Midori Goto (who performs under the mononym Midori) playing the Sibelius Violin Concerto. That’s Midori appearing as a traditional concerto soloist, but it’s only one part of a week-long residency in Boulder that includes teaching students from grade school through college as well as community outreach to adults. The Boulder Philharmonic and the Greater Boulder Youth Orchestras (GBYO) were selected for the residency — one of only two in the 2018–19 year — through a competitive process administered by the Midori Orchestra Residencies Program in New York. Sunday’s concert will feature two other works along with the Sibelius Concerto: Passacaglia: Secret of Wind and Birds by Tan Dun, an atmospheric Timothy Greenfield Sanders piece that includes an mp3 file that audience members can download and play on their cell phones during the concert; and Brahms’ Third Symphony. Tan Dun’s piece reflects the Boulder Phil’s season theme of “Open Space” by evoking the sounds of birds, especially the sounds that will be played through cell phones. The file, which audience members will be cued to play during the performance, contains the sounds of Asian instruments imitating birds. “When everybody is playing these files, it creates the impression of being outside where there are a lot of ON THE BILL: Midori Orchestra Residency birds around,” Butterman Program. Oct. 31-Nov. 5, says. “It begins with the various locations around fourth percussionist by herself, playBoulder. boulderphil.org/ event/midori-orchestraing this file over a bit of amplificaresidencies-program tion. “Then I turn to the audience and divide them into two or three groups. I will cue them sequentially so that we have a rolling start, and then we proceed to the written part of the piece. And later, the orchestra musicians pull out their cell phones and create this environment again.” There are other non-traditional sounds in the score as well, something the composer is known for. Percussionists play tuned stones; there are water sounds; the string players whisper written texts and snap their fingers and the wind players are asked to sing vowel sounds. These effects create what Butterman calls “an immersive environmental sound experience.” The Sibelius Concerto is one of the great virtuoso pieces in Boulder Weekly
the violin repertoire, and will allow the audience to experience Midori’s renowned musicianship. It is also, Butterman points out, indirectly linked to the season’s theme. “I always have the sense that Sibelius’ music has a natural-world connection,” he says. That is less obvious in the Violin Concerto than in the Fifth Symphony, “A Song for Swans,” that the Boulder Phil played last season. Nevertheless, “his music never feels far separated from nature,” Butterman says. Like many commentators, he relates the open textures of Sibelius’ music to the emptiness of the remote tundra of northern Finland, the composer’s native country. “It absolutely evokes expansiveness,” he says. The final work on the program, Brahms’ Third Symphony, is the only one of Brahms’ four symphonies that Butterman has not conducted in Boulder. If Sibelius evokes the sparse forests of Finland’s far north, the thicker, layered textures of Brahms evoke the depths of Germany’s Black Forest. “Brahms is a composer for whom you seem to keep discovering more and more details every time you pass through the score,” Butterman says. “The organizational unity of Brahms’ music is what I most enjoy and marvel at. And yet we don’t need to know any of that to enjoy his music, because it’s emotional, it’s tuneful, right on the surface.” Boulder Philharmonic director of community engagement Cynthia Sliker is coordinating the residency events. “The focus is on community outreach and working with young musicians. She is working with public school groups, with the Youth Symphony, with private violin teaching studios. She’s offering public talks, so it’s a big array of events,” Sliker says, calling attention to two public events in particular: a “Citizen Artist Talk,” where she will talk about her international advocacy that has earned her recognition as a U.N. Ambassador of Peace, and a Community Play-Along that provides an opportunity for young students of all ages to play together with her. As co-recipients of the residency, the GBYO will also perform with Midori. Emily Bowman, artistic director of GBYO, remembers seeing Midori as a young performer while she was herself a young violin student. “I’m super excited!” she says. “It’s a once in lifetime opportunity for these students to work with a world-class violinist. To come into contact with someone who teaches so deeply will be inspiring for years to come. I think she will inspire us to be our best.”

Keisha Taylor lived a quiet life with her wife, Alice, until the day that Alice disappeared. After months of searching, presuming she was dead, Keisha held a funeral, mourned and gradually tried to get on with her life. But that was before Keisha started to see her wife, again and again, in the background of news reports from all over America. Alice isn’t dead, and she is showing up at every major tragedy and accident in the country.

Playwright Sarah DeLappe was inspired to write ‘The Wolves’ by an art exhibit focusing on civil conflict and war, and people’s casual responses to it. DeLappe has said that while writing the play, she imagined its structure like a war movie — but instead of young men in trenches, she depicted girls preparing for battle on the soccer field, doing pregame stretches in the moments before entering the fray.

The world comes to DFF
Highlights from weekend one at the Denver Film Festival by Michael J. Casey
T
ON THE BILL: 41st he 41st Denver Film Festival brings together Denver Film Festival. more than 300 shorts and feature films from Oct. 31–Nov. 11, multiple locations, denOct. 31–Nov. 11. Sure, there are bound to be verfilmfestival.denversome duds in there, but 2018 is a veritable film.org cinematic bumper crop, particularly when you look beyond the borders of the U.S. None more so than Cold War, a French/Polish love story set in the 1950s and filmed in sumptuous black and white. Advanced tickets to both screenings are already sold out, but if you are looking for one of the best movies you’ll see all year, including an ecstatic dance party set to the thumping beat of “Rock Around the Clock,” then lining up early for any released seats is time well spent. You shouldn’t have too much trouble getting into The Image Book (Nov. 1 and 4), the latest essay film from French master Jean-Luc Godard. The Image Book is just that: a collection of cinematic images, some abstracted beyond the point of recognition — a scene from F.W. Murnau’s The Last Laugh becomes a flickering succession of neon greens and blotty blacks. Others he merely toys with: When Laurence Olivier’s Hamlet plunges his saber into Claudius’ chest, Godard inserts the sound of a cock crowing. These images, most of them from the previous century, belong to the This year’s selection of shorts and feature world of celluloid. Godard digitizes them, saturates films at the Denver their colors and distorts them, making them prodFilm Festival includes entries from countries ucts of this century. And though Godard perverts around the world. the past by immersing it in the present, this perversion is not degradation; it is simply how the passage of time treats images, ideas, thoughts and words. Border (Nov. 3 and 5), Sweden’s entry for this year’s Best Foreign Film Oscar, is a grim fairy tale set in the modern day. Tina (Eva Melander) is a Swedish customs agent who can smell “shame, fear and guilt” on passengers as they disembark from the ferry. Not a typical skill, but Tina is not your typical anything — her physical appearance is your first clue. Viewers beware, Border explores some very dark corners, but it explores these boundaries with an assured hand and captivating storytelling. In 3 Faces (Nov. 5–6), Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi — still working under a filmmaking ban imposed by the Iranian government in 2010 — teams with famed actress Behnaz Jafari to uncover the mystery of an apparent suicide. Though their Homeric quest winds Panahi and Jafari through mountain roads and small villages — some teetering on the edge of existence, while others uphold social ceremonies with unfailing devotion — 3 Faces is no murder mystery. Instead, it hangs like a shadow over this story much in the same way the Iranian government hangs over the work of Panahi and obliteration hangs over these remote villagers. It’s a tough life, but it is life, after all. Can the same be said of Dogman (Nov. 3), a beautifully shot Italian film about a wiry veterinarian and his hulking thug of a friend? Life is brutal, but Dogman wonders how far that brutality can go before it becomes more beast than man. And, just in case you were concerned, no dogs were harmed in the making of this movie.

Four courses to try in and around Boulder County this week
menu THE TASTING
Breakfast Burrito Santo 1265 Alpine Ave., Boulder, santoboulder.com Photos by staff
W
Lamb Kozhambu Azitra Restaurant 535 Zang St., Broomfield, azitra.us
U
pscale, modern, refined Indian cuisine is on the menu at Broomfield’s Azitra. Let us tell you: It’s worth navigating the concrete labyrinth that is the Flatirons shopping complex to eat at Azitra. We were blown away with many of Azitra’s dishes, but none more so than the lamb kozhambu. Lamb has never been so tender. It’s combined with a South Indian curry, which contains tamarind, coconut and black peppercorns. The tamarind brings an understated sweetness that makes the sauce unique. The peppercorns pop brightly. You can choose your heat level — we went hot — and Azitra provides a level of spice that’ll warm the body without ruining the palate. $19.
e won’t call it a secret menu item, because if you follow Santo or its sister restaurant, Blackbelly, on social media you know that they serve breakfast burritos only on weekday mornings. We like heading over to Santo, where patrons line up outside a makeshift burrito and coffee bar at the edge of the restaurant’s patio. The mastermind behind the restaurants — Chef Hosea Rosenberg — told us the two restaurants go through hundreds of burritos every morning. We believe it. The burritos are packed with the butcher’s cut (or cuts) of the day, egg, cheese, roasted green chile, black beans and salsa. It’ll fill you up, and the ingredients are of such high quality, you might actually not feel like taking a nap after eating this burrito. $6.

W
e caught up with The Wheel and Whisk food truck at Rayback this week, and were glad to see they’re still slinging their signature, hand-crafted sandwiches, bowls, tacos and more. We opted for the reuben, which was comprised of local corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and thousand island dressing, packed onto rye bread. The sauerkraut popped, the corned beef was savory and a little sweet, with hints of clove, and the dressing rounded everything out. $11.
Sanitas POW IPA Sanitas Brewing Company 3550 Frontier Ave., Boulder, sanitasbrewing.com
S
anitas has launched a new brew — the POW IPA — with a mission. It was created in collaboration with Protect Our Winters (POW), a nonprofit that advocates for positive climate action, and a portion of the proceeds from sales of POW IPA go to the group to continue its efforts. And it won’t be hard to support the cause, because the POW IPA is good — its hops are floral and reserved and there’s a crunchy, appealing backbone that’ll keep you sipping. Prices vary.

APPETITE FOR KINDNESS ’Tis the season to make more room at your dinner table
I
was sitting at a busy Boulder restaurant with a bunch of folks, but I might as well have been eating alone. Everyone at the table — myself included — was looking at their cell phones. Some were texting the person sitting next to them, instead of making eye contact. Others were eyeballing the TV screens or listening to the pounding background techno music. The quite excellent fare on the menu was irrelevant as was the conversation, concerned with pretty shallow stuff. I looked around and it was the same at most of the other tables ...except for one happy, engaged group in the corner. They were having an intentionally device-free meal and their phones were stacked on the table. It seems to me that we are increasingly alone. According to national surveys, restaurant visits per capita per year have been steadily declining. Formerly reserved for pizza and Chinese food, restaurant delivery services are booming along with eatery food pickup and drive-through. We are choosing to not go through the “hassle” of dining with strangers.

Dining in separate silos
We mainly drive alone in cars. About 40 percent of Americans choose to work remotely some of the time, or spend most of the week outside the office. They don’t really work with others. FaceTime and GoToMeeting are not equivalent to face-toface time. There are other signs of withdrawal from civil contact. In many neighborhoods and towns, trick-or-treating was virtually nonexistent this year, replaced by parties of people who all know each other. Some order groceries online or have them delivered, so they seldom encounter the community they live in down the food aisles. We live in larger houses where family members are not forced to interact. Family dinner with eye contact time is not what it once was with competing schedules and other distractions cutting the times when everyone is present. Compromise, sharing and respect are learned around the table, along with other handy human skills. The net result of this lonely silo life is not positive for civility or supper. Studies show that the average American had 3.2 friends in 1990. They only have 1.8 friends today. That’s bad for the heart. The news tells us every day just how polarized our cultural and political life has become with the rise of tribalism. When you only interact in cyberspace it’s easy to be mean, to bully. People don’t know how to disagree, and then go out for beer. If it were up to me, every high schooler would take debating, along with classes in civics and cooking.

This divide in our modern lives is not insurmountable, especially when it comes to food. Food bonds us. When there is a death in the family, what do we do? We bring food to comfort the living. The act of feeding people is more than just an expression of affection. It’s good for you. Performing and witnessing acts of kindness produces oxytocin, which helps lower blood pressure and increases overall happiness. The brain’s pleasure and reward centers light up to
produce so-called “helper’s high.” When you manifest kindness toward others, you are more likely to be kind to yourself. Forming relationships, short- and long-term, are the meat of the matter. Enjoy a restaurant meal at a community table. Shop at an ethnic grocery store on a Saturday morning. Take a group baking class and find a treat to master and share. Volunteer for a food bank. Buy food directly from farmers. For decades, my way has been the pie way. Pie is a peace offering. Pie is meant to be shared. If another person shows up, you cut smaller, equal pieces of the pie. Pie is the food of our better angels. Present anyone with a fresh-baked pie and it transforms their day, but teach them to make pie and you enable them to pay it forward, pastry-wise. Every year for several decades, right before Thanksgiving, I have attended Pie Night, a gathering at a rural Boulder County hall. Everybody brings a pie, and, after the feast featuring 50-plus pies, we clear the tables and musicians play old songs. An old friend and organizer described what makes Pie Night special: “I think the best Pie Night is the one where every chair is filled, the tables are groaning with pies, and people are just-slightly-uncomfortably close to one another, like a big old-time family reunion. A little jostling makes the pies taste even better.” In other words, there are no “others” at Pie Night. In this season full of gatherings, do yourself a favor and feed someone.

Taste of the week
Ting’s Place, 1265 S. Public Road, was recently voted favorite Lafayette Chinese restaurant in the 2018 Best of Boulder East County. They dish all the Chinese-American favorites from sweet and sour chicken to twice-cooked pork, but deeper in the menu are some extraordinary treats. On a cold fall evening, I found a certain amount of bliss in a bowl of Malaysian curry laksa soup, a fiery coconut curry broth filled with vermicelli noodles, chicken and shrimp.

TABLE
A CUT ABOVE
“I was looking at soil biology and land management,” Kavanaugh says, “and when I started to look into these things, I started learning a lot about how regenerative agriculture can have a positive impact on the environment. ... So I decided I wanted to start eating meat that supported this system.” Regenerative agriculture — using land and animals in natural, mutually beneficial ways — was Kavanaugh’s gateway to meat. So she and Curtiss, a master carpenter, moved to New York, studied butchery, and in short order, moved back to the Front Range to open Western Daughters in 2013. The goal was to work with small-scale ranchers raising animals the right way — letting them graze on natural grasses, keeping them out of tight confines, letting them live longer — and to sell that meat, and those stories, to a consumer base in Denver and Boulder that’s savvy to the merits of raising food well. It turns out, opening a small, whole animal butchery in 2013 was filling a void. So much so, that Kavanaugh and Curtiss found it difficult to find enough ranchers raising meat sustainably. “When we came out here, there wasn’t anybody,” Kavanaugh says. “We made so many cold calls, and we got laughed off the phone. People thought we were crazy. Now I have between two and five ranchers contact me a month looking to sell their products. Not all of them meet our standards, but there is definitely a growing body of people looking at this.” Western Daughters sources meat — beef, pork, chicken and lamb — from ranchers within a 200-mile radius of the Denver metro area. Their beef and lamb are 100-percent grass-fed and their pork and chicken are pasture-raised and hormone- and antibiotic-free.
Western Daughters Butcher Shoppe’s Kate Kavanaugh on how to make meat work by Matt Cortina
Y
ou go into a conversation with a seamster prepared to talk about yarn. You go into a conversation with a preacher prepared to talk about the gospel. You go into a conversation with a financial planner prepared to talk about Brooks Brothers’ cuff links. And you go into a conversation with a butcher prepared to talk about meat. So I was surprised to hear Kate Kavanaugh, a butcher, open our conversation this way: “I was a vegetarian for 15 years.” Kavanaugh and her partner, Josh Curtiss, run Western Daughters Butcher Shoppe, a whole animal butchery service in Denver. I first talked to Kavanaugh several months ago for a story on the resurgence of well-raised beef, but the story of how she, a freaking vegetarian, learned to butcher and then took the extraordinary step of opening a butcher shop kept us from the topic. Kavanaugh was studying biology in grad school in Arizona. She couldn’t see a career in research ahead of her, but her studies opened up the world of regenerative agriculture. In those classes, she saw an opportunity to change a bogus, industrialized food industry from within — and how beneficial that would be to our land and our health. Boulder Weekly
But getting ranchers on board wasn’t the Kate Kavanaugh hopes to use Western Daughonly unforeseen obstaters Butcher Shoppe to cle. For all the strides fundamentally change the food system. consumers have made toward buying only sustainably raised meat, there is still a large amount of skepticism about its merits. “Five years ago, things were very different,” Kavanaugh says. “We were early to market and it showed. It’s taken a while. We kind of hopped along for several years before [sustainable meat] caught up to the mainstream, and now it doesn’t feel so novel. People are beginning to seek out and be interested in it. ... Our market hre is better than it was just two years ago.” Part of what scares people about taking the dive into sustainably raised meat is that the costs are higher, often significantly higher, to buy that meat from a shop like Western Daughters as opposed to a grocery store. But the lesson shouldn’t be that you need to go bankrupt to eat well, Kavanaugh says, it just means folks need to make choices about what systems they’re going to support. “You don’t need meat every day, and you certainly don’t need meat three times a day,” says the former vegetarian. “In order for meat to be sustainable — and I think it has this chance to be sustainable — it means we have to eat a lot less of it. There’s an educational piece about that and how that makes it a different cost. Something we don’t always talk about is what you’re buying at the grocery store is artificially suppressed, because we pay taxes. Our [small-scale] farmers and ranchers aren’t getting those subsidies. We see KAVANAUGH Page 48

have a rancher who qualifies but refuses to take them.” Kavanaugh Indeed, Kavanaugh views her shop as a way to tell (above) and Curtiss the stories of ranchers who have taken bold steps to (below) in their Denver butcher improve their processes. The only way to support that shop. isn’t via a Facebook like or to buy a couple pumpkins at the farm, it’s to fundamentally change the way we eat and view the rancher as part of the community. “We built Western Daughters to be this portal between the urban and rural environment, and to give both sides a chance to learn a little bit about one another,” Kavanaugh says. Western Daughters sources fatty grass-fed beef, which she says helps bust the misconception that grass-fed beef is gamey and “not really palatable.” Her job, and Curtiss’ job, is to use the whole animal, Jon Rose creating cuts you wouldn’t find in the grocery store, and to teach consumers about why it’s important to eat those parts: Not only does it ensure sustainability for the environment and the rancher’s operation, but it often leads to a greater connection to the land and animal for people cooking at home. Plus it tastes good. “There are only so many muscles in a cow, and we’ve been doing this for thousands of years, so we’re not going to discover magical muscles. Being a whole animal butcher shop, we’re definitely focused on economy and doing things well, but we’re not as focused on speed as those packing houses that are just mowing through stuff. We’re pulling muscles that aren’t worth it to them to pull.” Western Daughters not only supplies raw cuts of animals, but they have a sausage program to use some of those off cuts, and their prepared foods, like Bolognese sauce and bone broth, are popular. Look, you gotta do what you gotta do when it comes to buying groceries, and the efforts by Western Daughters and other sustainable butchers aren’t meant to be a sanctimonious slap on the wrist. Simply providing the option of well-raised meat is the goal Kavanaugh set out to accomplish when she first had the idea to change the food system from within. The hope is that you go there once, enjoy it, go again, and then make it a habit. Boulder Weekly

drink New in brew: Three dry-hopped ales to seek
Roll out those hazy, crazy days of ale by Michael J. Casey
T
he haze craze is all the rage, and not even the changing of the seasons looks to slow these turbid brews down. And though area liquor stores are starting to display holiday and winter ales — while off-loading the remaining pumpkin beers — juicy/hazy India pale ale still holds a prominent place on the shelf; from old staples to a new-comer so new, their website is more manifesto than description. The brewery: Uhl’s Brewing Co. in Boulder; the beer: two double dry-hopped New England-style double IPAs. Dry-hopping is a key component to juicy/hazy IPA, and though the style is new, there’s nothing new about late addition hops in brewing. As the story goes, Sister Hildegard, a 12th-century German nun, discovered that the local flowering vine, hops, could be added to beer to keep it from spoiling. Hops soon became a staple in the brewing process, mainly as a preservative, but experimentation led brewers to realize that hops could also impart alpha acids (bitterness), aromatics and a variety of flaMichael J. Casey vors. It just depended on what hops were used and when they were used in the brewing process. Dry-hopping, adding the hops post-fermentation, has enjoyed a recent resurgence because these late addition hops contribute a plethora of fruity aromas and juicy flavors without sending the beer’s bitterness sky high. It also rounds the beer out, providing a smooth and creamy mouthfeel — precisely what you’ll find when you crack a can of UHL’s Wayward Hop series, Vol.1 and Vol. 2. Vol. 1, a double dry-hopped (DDH) New England-style DIPA, sports over nine pounds of hops (Azacca, Belma and Calypso) per barrel. With an ear-tickling effervescence, Vol. 1 is hazy, almost chunky, through and through. The beer is savory at first, almost cheese-like, but let it open up in the glass, and those hoppy aromas and fruity flavors will show nicely. Slightly better, Vol. 2 — another DDH New England-style DIPA featuring nine pounds of Azacca, Centennial and El Dorado per barrel — is bright on the nose, robust in the mouth and provides plenty of stone fruit flavors. It also has just enough acidity to perk up those taxed taste buds. Compare those two to the DDH Wildflower Pale Ale from Wild Woods Brewery. Currently served on cask, and going fast, this variant of their outstanding Wildflower pale leans on Nelson Sauvin hops, which give an already floral beer a boost of fruity flavors — bright tropical fruit mostly. Additionally, the DDH Wildflower sports a subtle tannic bitterness, which keeps the beer from being cloying, while remaining round and full in the mouth. Though dry-hopping can be used in any beer recipe — New Image Brewing has a dry-hopped kölsch, Old Town Regular, well worth seeking out — brewers seem most comfortable playing around with this technique on their workhorse IPAs. Just about everybody is doing it, so next time you head over to your local haunt, see what dry-hopped goodness they have on the menu. Adventure is out there.

You have officially arrived at the heart of the most therapeutic phase of your cycle. Congratulations! It’s an excellent time to fix what’s wrong, hurt or distorted. You will attract more help than you can imagine if you summon an aggressive approach toward finding antidotes and cures. A good way to set the tone for your aggressive determination to feel better is to heed this advice from poet Maya Angelou: “Take a day to heal from the lies you’ve told yourself and the ones that have been told to you.”
money. I’d love for you to buy experiences that expand your mind, deepen your emotional intelligence and foster your ability to create inspiring forms of togetherness. My soul would celebrate if you got access to new wealth that enabled you to go in quest of spiritual fun and educational adventures. On the other hand, I wouldn’t be thrilled about you spending extra cash on trivial desires or fancy junk you don’t really need. Here’s why I feel this way: to the extent that you seek more money to pursue your most righteous cravings, you’re likely to get more money.
MARCH 21-APRIL 19:
TAURUS
APRIL 20-MAY 20: U2’s singer Bono, born under the
SEPT. 23-OCT. 22: Of course I want you to have more
SCORPIO
sign of Taurus, says that all of us suffer from the sense that something’s missing from our lives. We imagine that we lack an essential quality or experience, and its absence makes us feel sad and insufficient. French philosopher Blaise Pascal referred to this emptiness as “a God-shaped hole.” Bono adds that “you can never completely fill that hole,” but you may find partial fixes through love and sex, creative expression, family, meaningful work, parenting, activism and spiritual devotion. I bring this to your attention, Taurus, because I have a strong suspicion that in the coming weeks you will have more power to fill your God-shaped hole than you’ve had in a long time.
OCT. 23-NOV. 21: “Penetralia” is a word that means the innermost or most private parts, the most secret and mysterious places. It’s derived from the same Latin term that evolved into the word “penetrate.” You Scorpios are of course the zodiac’s masters of penetralia. More than any other sign, you’re likely to know where the penetralia are, as well as how to get to them and what to do when you get to them. I suspect that this tricky skill will come in extra handy during the coming weeks. I bet your intimate adeptness with penetralia will bring you power, fun and knowledge.
GEMINI
SAGITTARIUS
Ready to wear, one size fits all. I doubt if it’s even possible to have an original desire anymore.” So says a character in Gemini author Tobias Wolff ’s short story “Sanity.” Your assignment in the coming weeks, Gemini, is to refute and rebel against this notion. The cosmic rhythms will work in your favor to the degree that you cultivate innovative yearnings and unique urges. I hope you’ll make it your goal to have the experiences necessary to stir up an outbreak of original desires.
Rilke suggested that we cultivate an alertness for the ever-present possibility of germination and gestation. On a regular basis, he advised, we should send probes down into the darkness, into our unconscious minds, to explore for early signs of awakening. And when we discover the forces of renewal stirring there in the depths, we should be humble and reverent toward them, understanding that they are as-yet beyond the reach of our ability to understand. We shouldn’t seek to explain and define them at first, but simply devote ourselves to nurturing them. Everything I just said is your top assignment in the coming weeks.
MAY 21-JUNE 20: “Most of our desires are clichés, right?
CANCER
JUNE 21-JULY 22: If you’re a typical member of the
NOV. 22-DEC. 21: Sagittarian poet Rainer Maria
Cancerian tribe, you’re skilled at responding constructively when things go wrong. Your intelligence rises up hot and strong when you get sick or rejected or burned. But if you’re a classic Crab, you have less savvy in dealing with triumphs. You may sputter when faced with splashy joy, smart praise or lucky breaks. But everything I just said is meant to be a challenge, not a curse. One of the best reasons to study astrology is to be aware of the potential shortcomings of your sign so you can outwit and overcome them. That’s why I think that eventually you’ll evolve to the point where you won’t be a bit flustered when blessings arrive. And the immediate future will bring you excellent opportunities to upgrade your response to good fortune.
DEC. 22-JAN. 19: You’re in a phase of your cycle when your influence is at a peak. People are more receptive than usual to your ideas and more likely to want the same things you do. Given these conditions, I think the best information I can offer you is the following meditation by Capricorn activist Martin Luther King Jr. “Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.”
LEO
AQUARIUS
JULY 23-AUG. 22: “Each of us needs something of an
island in her life,” said poet John Keats. “If not an actual island, at least some place, or space in time, in which to be herself, free to cultivate her differences from others.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, Leo, you’ll be wise to spend extra time on your own island in the next two weeks. Solitude is unlikely to breed unpleasant loneliness, but will instead inspire creative power and evoke inner strength. If you don’t have an island yet, go in search! (P.S.: I translated Keats’ pronouns into the feminine gender.)
VIRGO
AUG. 23-SEPT. 22: I’m rooting for you to engage in
experimental intimacy, Virgo. I hope you’ll have an affinity for sweet blends and incandescent mixtures and arousing juxtapositions. To get in the right mood for this playful work, you could read love poetry and listen to uplifting songs that potentize your urge to merge. Here are a few lyrical passages to get you warmed up. 1) “Your flesh quivers against mine like moonlight on the sea.” —Julio Cortázar 2) “When she smiles like that she is as beautiful as all my secrets. —Anne Carson 3) “My soul is alight with your infinitude of stars ... The flowers of your garden blossom in my body.” —Rabindranath Tagore 4) “I can only find you by looking deeper, that’s how love leads us into the world.” —Anne Michaels
Boulder Weekly
CAPRICORN
JAN. 20-FEB. 18: Aquarian environmentalist Edward Abbey spent much of his life rambling around in the great outdoors. He was an emancipated spirit who regarded the natural world as the only church he needed. In an eruption of ecstatic appreciation, he once testified that “Life is a joyous dance through daffodils beneath cerulean blue skies and then, then what? I forget what happens next.” And yet the truth is, Abbey was more than a wild-hearted Dionysian explorer in the wilderness. He found the discipline and diligence to write 23 books! I mention this, Aquarius, because now is a perfect time for you to be like the disciplined and diligent and productive version of Abbey.
PISCES
FEB. 19-MARCH 20: For renowned Piscean visual
artist Anne Truitt (1921–2004), creating her work was high adventure. She testified that artists like her had “to catapult themselves wholly, without holding back one bit, into a course of action without having any idea where they will end up. They are like riders who gallop into the night, eagerly leaning on their horse’s neck, peering into a blinding rain.” Whether or not you’re an artist, Pisces, I suspect your life in the coming weeks may feel like the process she described. And that’s a good thing! A fun thing! Enjoy your ride.

SAVAGE by Dan Savage
Love
Dear Dan: I’m a 30-year-old woman, and about a year ago I started taking improv classes to help combat my social anxiety. I met a lot of awesome people in my class, but I took a particular shine to this one guy. He was a gentle soul, very sweet and really funny. We quickly became friends. Eventually I developed feelings for him and asked him out. He appreciated the offer but told me that he was gay. I was shocked and disappointed, but I wanted to keep our friendship so I tried to get © Rachel Robinson over my feelings. But not only haven’t these feelings gone away, I’m actually falling in love with him. He recently confessed to me that he’s still semi-closeted and dealing with a bad breakup so I really don’t want to add to his problems. This is such a mess. I found this wonderful guy who I care about and yet nothing will ever happen because I was born the wrong gender. What can I do?!? —Introvert Makes Pass, Regrets Overture Very Seriously
too chicken to actually go through on acting on the “open” part. Neither of us are hung up on jealousy, so that’s not a factor here. I recently confessed to my wife that I have had a long-standing desire to sleep with a trans woman. Yes, I know that it’s immature to not have disclosed all my kink cards prior to marriage, but I have my reasons, and thankfully, my wonderful wife let me off the hook and was very supportive. I expressed to her that I have considered seeing a professional trans escort rather than trying for a “hook up” situation. Her reaction was highly negative, as she has the impression that anyone in the sex trade industry is — by definition — a victim. Where do I go from here? I am uncomfortable with the idea of putting myself out there to meet a trans woman in my city (especially since I’m not looking for a relationship), but I don’t want to violate my wife’s trust and see an escort. —Don’t Know What To Do
Dear IMPROVS: Nothing. You can’t make that gay guy fall in love with you, IMPROVS, anymore than I could make Hasan Minhaj fall in love with me. Getting over him is your only option, and that’s gonna take some time and most likely some space, too. (I’d recommend seeing less of your crush after this class ends.) But give yourself some credit for doing something proactive about your social anxiety, for taking a risk and for asking your classmate out. You didn’t take that improv class to find love, right? You took it to combat your social anxiety — and it sounds like you won a few battles, IMPROVS, if not the war. The takeaway here isn’t, “It didn’t work with him so why should I bother ever trying again with someone else?”, but, “I did it — I made a connection, I asked someone out — and I’m going do it again and hopefully it’ll work out next time.”
Dear DKWTD: Put yourself on a dating and/or hookup app, say that you’re partnered and only looking for something casual, and add that you welcome responses from trans women. Some trans women are rightly annoyed by all the cis men out there who only wanna hook up, DKWTD, and never date or be seen in public with them. But trans folks are just like other folks — some are taken, some are looking, some are taken and looking. If you get grief from a trans woman who’s annoyed that you aren’t open to dating women like her, DKWTD, let her vent — her frustrations are perfectly legitimate — while you wait for a response from a trans woman looking to buy what you’re selling. P.S. The trans escorts I know — women who freely chose their jobs — will be surprised to learn that they’re victims, at least according to your highly opinionated and woefully misinformed wife. Send questions to mail@savagelove. net, follow @fakedansavage on Twitter and visit ITMFA.org.
Dear Dan: I’m an early 30s heteroflexible man in an open marriage with a bi woman, though both of us have been Boulder Weekly

weed between the lines
by Sidni West
Organic cannabis
I
f eating organic is important to you, smoking it should be, too. The difference between organic cannabis and conventionally grown cannabis is similar to the difference between picking up a gas station breakfast burrito and hitting the breakfast bar at Whole Foods. But it’s not as simple as walking into a grocery store. For health-conscious people who like to know where their food was sourced and how it was processed, purchasing cannabis can be another source of anxiety because it’s not clearly labelled. A lack of regulatory oversight has many cannabis consumers worried about the chemicals they are ingesting along with their weed. If your cannabis is grown in unhealthy, contaminated soil, these contaminants will appear in your flower. To make matters worse, smoking pesticides can release dangerous toxins like hydrogen cyanide, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen chloride and more. While many pesticides can be used safely (according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)) on plants that will be eaten, adding the component of combustion creates complications. But it’s not just about avoiding health hazards. Organic cannabis free of chemical fertil-
Boulder Weekly
izers produces higher quality bud with the perfect amount of terpenes, terpenoids and cannabinoids, the aromatic combinations that give cannabis its smell and flavor. But finding healthy, sustainably grown cannabis is difficult because the term “organic,” used on food and crop labeling, is regulated by the USDA. Since cannabis is federally illegal, the USDA will not give it an organic certification. So that means the standards for what qualifies as organic in cannabis cultivation have not been clearly defined. To help clear the confusion, organizations like Clean Green have created private organic certifications for cannabis. It requires on-site inspections and third-party lab testing. Much like the USDA National Organic Program for traditional agricultural products, the whole life cycle of the plant is considered, from seed selection to harvesting and processing, as well as soil, nutrients, pesticide use, mold treatment and dust control. Clean Green companies also must put into place a carbon footprint reduction plan, water conservation measures and fair labor practices. Unfortunately, these certifications can be prohibitively expensive for smaller operations. The result is that very few cannabis farms have been officially certified as organic.
In an effort to protect consumers, the industry’s watchdog, the state Marijuana Enforcement Division (MED), now requires every harvested batch of medical and recreational cannabis to be tested for heavy metals, including but not limited to arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury. While the MED says heavy-metal testing requirements have been in place for a couple of years, testing was never mandated. That could change on July 1, 2019, the date when the current draft of the new rules says additional testing would be required. But this isn’t all about you, consumer. Organic cannabis isn’t just better for your health, it’s better for the Earth. Conventional growing is an unsustainable practice that causes lasting harm to the local environment. Cannabis nutrients can carry heavy metals that seep into the soil and subsequently accumulate in the plant. Synthetic fertilizers and conventional growing techniques damage soil integrity, and destroy microbial, insect and animal habitats. Organic farmers mitigate this damage by maintaining healthy soil through a variety of low-impact techniques, like integrated pest management and probiotic farming. Because of a lack of both regulation and research, many growers simply don’t know about the residual metals left from nutrients they’re using. When it comes to putting something inside of your body, it’s important that the substances you’re choosing are actually good for your health, especially for medical patients. Should cannabis consumers hold the industry to higher standards when it comes to testing cannabis and providing information on where it was sourced and how it was grown? Yes, your weed should be held to just as high of a standard as your kale.

cannabis corner

SAM shows its true totalitarian colors
T
he marijuana prohibitionist organization Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM) piously claims it favors “alternatives” to jailing people for possession and use of marijuana, but it wasn’t until a couple of weeks ago that it got around to stating just what those “alternatives” were. Now it has — and they read like something out of Soviet psychiatry or a Chinese re-education camp. A posting on the SAM website lists a number of points that should be included in “model legislation” for alternatives to jailing people for pot while still keeping it illegal. For openers, the organization favors giving people a ticket for marijuana possession instead of arresting them — which is already done in a lot of states. It’s what happens next where SAM shows its true colors: “Require mandatory assessment of problem drug use by a treatment professional after the first citation; those who are diagnosed with a substance use disorder can be diverted into a treatment track where they receive the
Boulder Weekly
appropriate level of care, those who are not problem users can be directed to social services for follow-up and addressing other life factors contributing to drug use.” Let’s take a closer look at the wording here. SAM wants to force someone arrested for the first time for marijuana
possession to undergo an “assessment of problem drug use,” not an “assessment for problem drug use.” In other words, SAM is saying that someone caught with pot should be assumed to have a drug-use problem (whatever that means) unless a “treatment professional” (whatever that means) finds otherwise. If the “treatment professional” diagnoses the offender as having a “sub-
stance use disorder,” the offender “can be diverted in a treatment track” where he receives “the appropriate level of (mandatory) care” — or, more plainly, of re-education or brainwashing. If he doesn’t agree to it, it’s “bad stoner, no alternative to jail for you.” But what if the “treatment professional” finds that the offender is not a “problem user”? The offender still isn’t off the hook. In that case the offender will be “directed to social services” (whoever that is) “for followup and addressing other life factors contributing to drug use” — or, more plainly, custodialized. The phrase “substance use disorder” is the one phrase in SAM’s guide for model legislation that comes with a meaningful definition attached to it. It is defined in the annual National Survey on Drug Use and Health — and the definition is applied to marijuana in a way that makes it possible to brand someone who smokes pot as few as six times a year as having a “marijuana use disorder.” The Sept. 20, 2018 Cannabis Corner contains a detailed discussion of this. My conclusion in that piece was
that “some credentialed charlatans in the federal government and the psych community are trying to define normal human conduct — occasional use of marijuana or regular use in moderation — as mental illness,” and that this isn’t much different than how the People’s Republic of China and the late Soviet Union tried to weaponize mental health for use against dissidents. Weaponizing mental health is exactly what SAM and Kevin Sabet, the creep who runs it, are proposing as the centerpiece of their new strategy for keeping marijuana illegal. Asked for a comment on SAM’s latest scam by Marijuana Moment, NORML’s deputy director Paul Armentano said SAM’s “overarching philosophy appears to be ‘Only people with problems use marijuana.’ “Clearly, SAM believes that marijuana use per se should be defined under the law as aberrant behavior requiring varying degrees of state intervention,” he said. “Such an approach perpetuates the needless stigmatization of marijuana and those who consume it, and is clearly at odds with the attitudes of the majority of the public who desire to see an end to these discriminatory and punitive public policies.” The mental condition that has been doing real violence to the country’s liberty and social fabric isn’t marijuana use disorder. It’s Totalitarian Gestalt disorder. Sabet has a bad case of it, and he should get professional help.
