Highroad Why a New Jersey puffer fish should not be president by Jim Hightower

hen Mitt Romney was considering who might be his 2012 running mate, each prospect was given a fish-themed code name. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, known as a tireless self-promoter with a bloated ego, was dubbed “Puffer Fish.” The Romneyites determined that the prima donna Christie was wholly

unqualified to be vice president, but the rejection didn’t deflate Chris’ puffed-up self-esteem one dot. Indeed, the bragging and blustering Jersey guv has convinced at least himself that he’s the can-do, bigidea, forceful leader America needs, so he is now offering to be our president. Before accepting, however, you might check with one group of voters who’re less than enchanted: The people of New Jersey. With a moribund economy, a state budget mess, a growing pension crisis, his state’s infrastructure crumbling and his own office caught in a web of scandals, Christie is not faring well with the homefolk, earning only a 30 percent approval rating, with most voters saying they dislike “everything about him.” Nationwide, Christie is way back in the pack, getting under 3 percent of Republican primary voters. But he has found one friend — Maine Gov. Paul LePage has enthusiastically endorsed him! Problem is, LePage is even more

insufferable and insolent than Christie, so arrogant and autocratic that he’s even alienated fellow Republicans in Maine and is now threatened with impeachment. Still, if anything, Puffer Fish’s ego is puffier than ever. Asked by Fox News why 65 percent of New Jersey voters say he’d make a poor president and shouldn’t run, the vainglorious governor actually said: “They want me to stay. Don’t leave to run for president, because we want you to stay.” It’s one thing for a politician to say something so ridiculous, but — far scarier — Christie is so out of touch with reality that he believes it!

end not to know; For whom the road tolls; It tolls for thee. Up in Minor Local Politician Valhalla, Woody Hewett must be laughing his ass off this week. More about that in a moment. The tolls returned to U.S. 36 this week, so it’s time for a trip down memory lane in a single occupancy vehicle. If you stop to think about it, taking the Turnpike from Boulder to Denver and back is arguably the single most-shared experience of Boulder residents. Everyone in Boulder with access to a car, truck or bus has probably done it, and most have done it dozens of times. For many residents, the view from the top of Davidson Mesa was their first view of Boulder. It’s a picture in virtually everyone’s mental photo album. So where did that road come from that old-timers like me persist in referring to as the “Boulder-Denver Turnpike” instead of the far more colorful and evocative “U.S. 36”? The Boulder-Denver Turnpike was invented at the University of Colorado. The inventor was CU civil engineering Professor Roderick Downing. He first proposed a direct BoulderDenver highway connection in 1927, a year after he joined the faculty. For years Downing sent his students out to survey potential routes for the highway and relentlessly lobbied the state government to build it. It was an idea he wouldn’t let go of until its time

finally came. And its time finally came after World War II, when then Governor Ralph Carr took up the cause. It was Carr’s idea to build the highway as a toll road — aka a turnpike — a radical thought at the time. After considerable controversy, the toll-road idea was finally accepted (grudgingly) by Boulder — it was that way or no highway — and the road was financed with bonds to be paid back with receipts from a 25-cent toll (15 cents if you got off at Broomfield) over the next 30 years. Cost of the 18-mile, four-line divided concrete highway was the princely sum of $6.3 million ($55.4 million in 2014 dollars). When the road opened on January 17, 1952, its supporters were sweating bullets over whether enough people would use it — 3,000 to 4,000 a day — to service the bonds. Heh. By the time the bonds were paid off in 1967 — 15 years early — the Turnpike was handling 13,750 trips a day. Today it handles more than 120,000 trips. There’s no mystery as to why traffic volumes on the Turnpike exploded. The road opened up tens of thousands of acres between Denver and Boulder to development. By 2014, the cities in the Boulder Turnpike corridor had grown to five to 10 times the size they were in Boulder Weekly

letters Response to ‘Manufactured Fight’

My name is Sharon Posa. I was interviewed by Mr. Matt Cortina on July 7, 2015 over the telephone for his article “The Manufactured Fight.” I believe that some of my words were corrupted in the article. Specifically, I refer to the paragraph in the article that reads: “Posa says Allen told her not to tell management that she was interested in Allen’s home...” I believe that I made it abundantly clear to Mr. Cortina that I was unclear whether Mr. Allen told me not to tell management that I was interested in Mr. Allen’s home. In fact, I told Mr. Cortina that even if Mr. Allen had told me not to tell management on Sunday, April 26th when I first viewed the home and put down the earnest money, Mr. Allen had decided on Monday morning April 27th to tell the management that he

2016 HRV LX AWD CVT had a buyer for his home and did so. I had already been in to see the management and picked up the residency application, and I did not mention that I had put down earnest money on Mr. Allen’s home about 30 minutes prior to Mr. Allen’s disclosure to the management. Another point of contention that occurred when I read Mr. Cortina’s article is with the paragraph which begins: “This is all beside the point that in the lease signed by Allen and all other Vista Village owners...” Mr. Cortina never asked me about my lease. My lease reads: “A mobile home already located in vista village (sic) must meet all of the following requirements, with the exception of size and age, in order to be able to be sold on space. it (sic) must be inspect-

week tolls are being returned to the Turnpike to cover the $500 million cost of adding the so-called “Express Lanes” (one in each direction) to the Turnpike. The new tolls, which will apply only to the express lanes, will range from $1.25 to $6.70, depending on the time of day and whether the driver has set up a pre-paid account. The $1.25 toll, which is good during light travel times and weekends, is actually a bargain compared to the original 25-cent toll. Converted into 1952 dollars, it works out to 14 cents. Ah, but the new road will never match the quality of the driving experience on the old one. My fondest Boulder Turnpike memory is of coming home from Denver one night at Zero Dark Thirty — it must have been in 1963 or 1964 — and driving the length of the road floored out at 95 miles an hour. I counted a total of six other cars on the road traveling in both directions. Smoke that in your so-called Express Lane. And about the view from Davidson Mesa: It almost didn’t happen. The committee that determined the Turnpike’s final route gave considerable thought to going around the mesa to the north instead of over it. The northern route was considered a bit safer, but longer and without the view. In the end the committee decided the view was worth the risk. Amen.

danish plan 1952. (Boulder went from about 20,000 to 100,000, while Louisville and Lafayette went from about 2,000 to 20,000. Superior grew from 134 to 13,000.) As the population in the highway corridor grew, additional on and offramps were added to the road. When the Turnpike opened, you could get on and off at Federal Boulevard in Denver, at U.S. 287 in Broomfield and at 28th Street in Boulder (then called the 28th Street By-Pass). Today it can be accessed from about 10 locations. The toll always grated on Boulderites. They accepted it in no small part because the road’s advocates swore in blood on a stack of Bibles that the day the bonds were paid off the toll booths would come down. So when it was announced in 1966 that the bonds would be paid off in 1967, 15 years ahead of schedule, all Boulder was counting down the days as the last quarters dropped into the till. Back to Woody Hewett. In 1966 he was Boulder’s State Senator. Woody had the prescience to see that use of the Turnpike was going to keep growing — so he proposed leaving on the toll and using the revenue to six-lane the highway. The idea was met with, uh, skepticism. Months later, after Woody scraped the last of the tar off, he concluded that running for re-election was an idea whose time had passed. But this week Woody is getting the last laugh. That’s because this is the

ed and approved in writing by management prior to being placed on the market. management (sic) reserves the absolute and unqualified right to approve or reject the request to sell any mobile home in a manner that would allow it to remain located in vista village (sic). the (sic) resident acknowledges that the sale of the mobile home does not include a sublet, assignment or transfer of right to lease the space. a (sic) new and separate lease agreement must be entered into with vista village (sic) by the proposed buyer.” Perhaps my lease is missing the page that states: “Lessee agrees that if he should sell a mobile home located on the leased premises, the sales agreement will provide for delivery of the mobile home to the buyer at some location outside of and not within the Vista Village boundary?” I will speak with the management as this is no where in my copy of my lease given to me by the management on May 11, 2015. Finally, Mr. Cortina was incorrect when he wrote “Miller called Posa again after the sale was complete and asked her to write another letter.” Mr. Miller asked me to write another letter on May 4, 2015 after the application for residency to Vista Village for my husband and I was approved. We did not close on the sale of the mobile home until May 11, 2015. The rest of my quotes in Mr. Cortina’s article are accurate. I respectfully request that you print the part of this letter regarding the corruption of my words in reference to Mr. Cortina’s incorrect statement: “Posa says Allen told her not to tell management that she was interested in Allen’s home.” Thank you for your time. Sharon Posa/Boulder Editor’s note: As to the article’s statement; “Posa says Allen told her not to tell management that she was interested in Allen’s home,” Posa’s actual quote, as written in the article, ends, “because he and his wife had poor relations with the park management, and he thought that it may hinder the passing of our application, but that was just my impression” As a point of clarity, the article’s sentence, “This is all beside the point that in the lease signed by Allen and all other Vista Village owners,” was clearly attributed to the retelling of Allen’s lease, as Posa was not introduced into the story yet, nor was her presence implied. It 10 July 23, 2015

appears that this policy was changed for Posa’s lease, which was not relevant to the reporting regarding the sale from Allen to Posa. Correction: BW reported that “Miller called Posa again after the sale was complete and asked her to write another letter.” It should have read “after the application for residency to Vista Village was complete” not after the sale, which occurred seven days later.

Someone with a different opinion

In a recent column by Michael Casey, he claims that because Badlands was recently shown at a Denver theatre that “America has an obsession with angry white men.” In order to prove his point, he quotes from another decadesold film, Goodfellas. Absurdity aside, Mr. Casey should probably recant and recognize that the obsession might be his own. Kathleen Kryczka/Boulder

Bird Flu devastating U.S. egg industry

The U.S. egg industry is reeling from a colossal outbreak of avian flu, mostly among egg-laying chickens. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 48 million birds, accounting for 11 percent of the nation’s egglaying hens, have been slaughtered for fear of infection during the past few months. The effects are far-reaching, from how to dispose of millions of potentially infected bird carcasses to job losses and rapidly rising egg prices. More than 40 countries have restricted U.S. poultry imports. Although the precise cause of the outbreak remains uncertain, the horrendous conditions in today’s factory farms make egg and chicken production extremely vulnerable to disease outbreaks, and therefore, not sustainable. A number of innovative companies have stepped in to offer plant-based alternatives that mimic closely the taste, texture, and cooking properties of eggs and chicken. They are available in the frozen-food section of every supermarket. Many of us favor replacing polluting fossil energy sources with clean renewable ones. That takes concerted national action. But every one of us has the power to effect that same transition for our food sources every time we shop for food. Rudolph Helman/Boulder Boulder Weekly

news briefs Objection resolution meeting for proposed Eldora expansion leaves many feeling unresolved

Despite more than three hours of discussion, folks opposed to the proposed expansion of Eldora Mountain Resort walked away from a July 17 objection resolution meeting with little sense of resolve. The meeting was intended to give objectors and Forest Service employees a chance to identify opportunities for compromise. However, attendees expressed disappointment with the process. “It was a rather poorly run meeting,” says Dave Hallock, an Eldora resident and coordinator for the Middle Boulder Creek Coalition. “First of all, it was held up in Fort Collins, whereas most of the people involved in [the objection process] live in Boulder, Nederland, Eldora.” While the Forest Service did provide a number to call into the meeting, an incorrect number was provided in a letter informing people of the meeting, leading many to miss some, if not all of all, of the discussion. To complicate matters, Forest Service protocol for the objection process allows only “lead objectors” — someone identified by their group Wikimedia Commons/KamenG or, if no one is identified, simply the first qualified name listed in a multiple person objection — to make comments for their respective groups. As a phone-in participant, the lead objector for the Middle Boulder Creek Coalition was not present at the start of the meeting. Hallock says the invitation letter made no mention of the rule about lead objectors. “Those of us who were there objected to that [protocol], so the Forest Service group had to leave the room, convene their own little meeting, and then they came back and allowed everyone else to speak,” Hallock says. Chris Strebig, media office spokesperson for the Forest Service Rocky Mountain region, says that the lead objector rule is intended to create efficiency in a process that has limited time. “However, once we heard very clearly that people wanted to be able to talk about the issues, not just from the lead objector point of view, the Forest Service stated that they would change that and said, ‘We want to hear from you.’ We did adapt to hear from people,” Strebig says. Middle Boulder Creek Coalition and Sierra Club Indian Peaks Group filed a 69-page objection to the expansion of the local ski resort in May, claiming the Forest Service didn’t fully evaluate alternative actions that would limit negative impacts on the environment and local quality of life. The proposal calls for two new lifts ( Jolly Jug and Placer), as well as replacements for three existing lifts, and the resort’s boundary would expand about 70 acres north and 18 acres south. Opponents’ concerns center on environmental impacts, including the resort’s expansion toward Hessie trailhead, where a critical wildlife migration corridor exists, as well as southward expansion that would affect recreational access to the Jenny Creek Trail (causing snowshoers and cross country skiers to pass through four ski runs and the Jolly Jug Glades to access the trailhead). Opponents say the ski resort could meet most of its expansion goals within its current boundaries. The objection meeting primarily focused on three areas where the Forest Service saw opportunities for potential resolution: making the proposed Middle Boulder Creek bridge temporary (and removing it after construction); reducing the proposed ski area boundary; and addressing recreational access to Jenny Creek Trail. Hallock says objector opinions were mixed: Most objectors felt an “infill” alternative — using the space Eldora already has — is the only resolution. Others felt a slight expansion of Jolly Jug is acceptable as long as it doesn’t extend to Jenny Boulder Weekly

news briefs Creek. Others adamantly opposed to any compromise that would allow expansion towards Jenny Creek in exchange for protecting Middle Boulder Creek. There was no final answer on what will happen with the expansion, but Forest Service staff will take points made from the meeting back to Eldora ski area as well as the National Ski Area Association for further discussion — these meetings will not be open to the public. Hallock says objectors present at the July 17 meeting asked to have another meeting, but Forest Supervisor Glenn Casamassa gave no definitive answer on whether that would take place. A response letter from Forest Service reviewing official Dan McCusker will be sent to all 36 objectors this month. Strebig says that letter looks at whether the Forest Service conducted appropriate analysis and followed policy and laws in the expansion planning process. Glen Casamassa, the forest supervisor, will ultimately sign a record of decision that will determine the expansion, but Strebig says he can’t give a timeframe for when that will happen. Hallock says he still feels that concerns over the expansion are being ignored. “It’s the same thing over and over again: We don’t feel like the Forest Service is listening to Boulder County, they are not listening to Nederlands Parks and Recreation Open Space Advisory Board … you have a pretty unifed group saying the same thing: the expansion, particularly down the backside toward Boulder Creek, is not a good idea and they are simply ignoring that.” —Caitlin Rockett

cosmic joke: A Curated Comedy

Rep. Polis works to strengthen civil rights protection for LGBT Americans On July 23, Rep. Jared Polis (D – Boulder) is set to announce a bill that aims to provide legal protection for gay, lesbian and transgender Americans under the Civil Rights Act. “It adds sexual orientation and gender identity to race and gender as protected classes [under the Civil Rights Act],” Polis says. “Some people think it already is [a protected class] — they are wrong. It’s not, Office of Congressman Jared Polis federally. Some states, like Colorado, have employment nondiscrimination laws for LGBT Americans, but it’s not a protected class nationally at all, and so we’ll change that.” The new bill adds to Rep. Polis’ recent work to protect LGBT Americans. Last week Polis joined more than 60 other representatives in signing a letter to Education Secretary Arne Duncan asking that the Department of Education make lasting efforts to protect LGBT students from discrimination and bullying. The letter cited data from the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network’s most recent school climate survey, which found about three-quarters of LGBT students reported being verbally harassed because of their sexual orientation or gender identity, and 49 percent reported being bullied over the Internet. More than one-third reported being physically harassed or assaulted. The Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights announced last year that Title IX — which prohibits sex discrimination in federally funded education programs and activities — also prohibits discrimination on the basis of gender identity. The Obama administration openly embraced the announcement. However, Polis says it’s not enough. “Now, while it’s wonderful progress that the president and the administration has embraced that approval, which gives a powerful anti-bully tool to students and schools and to states, it’s only as good as the current president. So it’s not permanent. It’s always subject to reinterpretation by future civil rights divisions, by future presidents,” Polis says. “Evoking Title IX is a very positive step, but to make it permanent in statute, we have to amend the civil rights law to include LGBT Americans.” —Caitlin Rockett

he iconic pink mustaches of the Lyft brand ride-booking service are unmistakable. Whether it’s a large furry bumper-stache or a “glowstache” illuminating the night streets, the Lyft paraphernalia attracts users who have downloaded the company’s application as well as those in need of transportation who don’t have the app. The latter is what happened to Lyft driver Sierra Bufe on Thursday, July 16 around 2:30 a.m. as she was driving near the cab-station at the west end of Boulder’s Pearl Street Mall. Bufe, a Lyft driver since September, had her glowstache on when a man hailed her down from the curb asking for a ride. The incident was recorded on a dashboard camera Bufe always has running while at work for safety reasons. Boulder Weekly examined the dashboard recording. “This is the kind of reason that I have a dash cam so that in case anything goes wrong I have a record of what I did and what other people did,” Bufe says. The camera faces forward so after the rider waves her down in the footage, the camera only picks up audio of what happened next. Bufe rolls down her window and the man asks about her rates, to which she replies she’s a Lyft driver and the app determines the price. He says he doesn’t have the app but does have a smartphone, and Bufe offers to help him set up the app in order to get a free ride (Lyft has a promotion that gives a free ride to any first-time downloader of their app). “That sounds great to me,” he says. He gets into the front passenger seat and Bufe pulls into a nearby parking spot. He immediately says he doesn’t want to sign up for the app and questions why he needs to put in his credit card information if his ride will be free. Bufe tries to explain that while the ride will be free for him, she still wants to get paid, which is only possible if they are connected through the Lyft platform. He asks, “What’s the hold up here, you already offered me a ride? ... I’ll do the Lyft app on the way.” When she tries to explain again that he needs to be signed up in order for her to drive, he questions her business skills and uses some profanity at which point she asks him to get out of the car. He keeps arguing with her, however, until she raises her voice, telling him to get out of the car or she’ll call the police. “Call the police, call them. Fucking call them,” he tells Bufe. She responds with profanity as well, telling him to get out of her car over and over again. After that, Bufe says, “I put my hand on his shoulder muscle and pushed it like two inches and I said, ‘Get out.’ The door was not open when I did that. I did not push him out of the car.” Soon after, the passenger gets out of the car and Bufe drives away, audibly shaken by the encounter. She proceeds to pick up one more fare before going home and calling Lyft through the critical response line to report the incident. As a rule, ride-booking service companies, officially known as Transportation Network Companies (TNC), are considered a safer place to work than traditional taxicab businesses. This safety aspect helps to explain why 30 percent of Lyft drivers, 40 percent of Sidecar

credence to such claims as they are filled with discussions about how to pick up non-app fares for cash and also how to spot and avoid undercover officers trying to catch them in the act. In Denver several drivers were fined over $13,000 each as part of a sting to catch ride-for-cash drivers. But the real question may be, do all the TNC drivers really understand the rules and laws that govern them? After her incident last week, Bufe was left with questions about her company’s policies and training. Ride-booking service companies have boomed in the last several years. So much so, that the Colorado state legislature passed, and Gov. Hickenlooper signed, Senate Bill 14-125 into law on June 5, 2014 with the purpose of regulating ride-booking service operations such as Lyft. One of the provisions of the Colorado law prohibits TNC drivers from soliciting or accepting any passengers who have waived them down in a traditional taxi “street hail,” specifically requiring the driver to arrange rides through the digital network provided by the application platform. “I wouldn’t call it really unusual that this guy tried to hail me down,” Bufe says. She frequently gets waved down on the Hill. She says she stops because it gives her the chance to get new customers to download the app, an activity encouraged by the company, which pays her a $10 bonus for each new customer she brings in. Bufe says she’s registered at least 10 other people like she attempted to do with the man on July 16. It seems logical that stopping for a street hail for a mustached car is the obvious way to find new customers. And as stated previously, Adam, Lyft’s safety specialist, did not inform her she did anything wrong with regards to the dashboard tape showing her stopping for a street hail. He simply writes, “In the future, and to protect your own safety, you may want to avoid letting people into your vehicle who you aren’t paired with in the app.” The word “may” would seem to imply that this last recomendation is purely a suggestion and not a policy. Lyft’s stated position on street hails is at least clearer in word if not incentives. “Drivers are prohibited from accepting street hails, that’s one of the things that differentiates Lyft from a taxi,” says Paige Thelen, communications manager for Lyft. “Drivers are instructed of that rule when they sign on as drivers. … It’s during the onboarding process that it’s communicated to them.” However, Bufe doesn’t recall being told not to pick up hails, only not to accept cash rides and the regulation isn’t specifically listed on the Colorado-specific driver requirements page of the Lyft website. “Nowhere across the country in any city is it permissible for a driver to pick up a street hail. That’s just a rule that we have not specifically outlined for Colorado but a rule we have for every Lyft driver,” Thelen says. She then provided a blog post under a driver-only blog site, The Hub, dated February 2015, which instructs drivers to refuse street hails because “Not only do street hails threaten your own safety, they can also get you in trouble with the law: Officials have started cracking down on unauthorized pickups.” She also pointed to the company’s extensive Terms of Service agreement, where buried under Driver Representations and Warranties it states, “You will not

drivers and 14 percent of Uber drivers are women, compared to just 12.7 percent of the nation’s taxicab drivers according to Forbes. The reason for the increased saftey is simple; all those seeking a ride with a TNC driver are required to have the TNC’s app with a credit card on file before getting a ride. It’s less likely that a person will rob or injure a driver when a computer knows exactly who is in the car at all times. But there may be a serious hole in this safety net as pointed out by Bufe’s experience on July 16. By allowing the man into her car before he had downloaded the app, Bufe was not protected through the Lyft platform. The company had no way of knowing who was in her car. But after reporting her fearful incident to Lyft, Bufe says, “They are treating me like I’m the potential threat to the community because I touched the passenger ... They didn’t support my own judgement as a woman out there.” Just before 5 a.m. on July 16, Bufe received an email telling her the company had deactivated her as a driver while they conducted an investigation of “a potential violation of our community guidelines and Terms of Service,” the email states. Several hours later, Bufe received another email, this time from Adam (no last name provided), a trust and safety specialist. It said the company received feedback that Bufe “physically removed a person from your vehicle … Could you clarify what sort of physical altercation occurred?” Bufe wasn’t allowed to pick up passengers for a total of 12 hours while she emailed back and forth with Adam regarding the incident — sending in the video and explaining what happened. Eventually, Lyft reactivated her driver status without reprimanding her for stopping for a curbside hail even though it was clear she had done so from the dashboard tape. Critics of the TNC model claim that their drivers, despite signing terms of service contracts prohibiting it, often pick up fares who don’t have the app and transport them for cash, even though such actions are against state law. Only fully permitted taxicab companies operating under expensive licenses are allowed to pick up fares byway of being hailed on the street. Internet chatrooms started by TNC drivers give

make any misrepresentation regarding Lyft, the Lyft Platform, the Services or your status as a Driver, or, while providing the Services, operate as a public carrier or taxi service, accept street hails, charge for rides (except as expressly provided in this Agreement), or engage in any other activity in a manner that is inconsistent with your obligations under this Agreement.” Bufe says she signed the terms of service electronically and doesn’t have a copy of it. Speaking of the incident last week she says, “I asked the guy if he wanted to sign up for Lyft, and he said yes. I’m not trying to go off the platform or accept street hails … I was trying to get a new Lyft customer, which is what Lyft calls ‘spreading Lyft love.’ That’s why they send you the referral cards to begin with so that you’ll go out there and recruit new customers while you’re out and about. How do you do that if you never talk to strangers?” The Lyft site does recommend drivers suggest downloading the app to patrons who ask for a ride but aren’t already signed up. But a search of Lyft’s website and policies did not turn up a specific policy stating that such fares should remain outside of the cab until the app is downloaded and credit-card information has been processed by the system. It is this apparent flaw in the system that may be exposing TNC drivers like Bufe, who may be following the letter of the law unlike many of their fellow TNC drivers, to unnecessary dangers. When asked if Lyft had any specific policy on this matter Thelen responded by email, “our Terms of Service outline our full policy on this matter.” A search of the terms found no policy on keeping fares outside the vehicle prior to downloading the app. In addition, Bufe says the company never gave her any formal Lyft training, never sent her a manual or policy guidelines but only directed her to the help center on the webpage, which is “barebones to say the least,” she says. Before Bufe was approved as a Lyft driver, she did meet with a “mentor” who she claims inspected her vehicle, rode with her around the block and then gave his approval. She laughed when asked about the meeting, which she says lasted all of 10 minutes. “I’ve never seen him again,” she says, “he never gave me his contact information [and] he is in no way a mentor. You don’t have anybody to answer questions.” Bufe was also unaware of Lyft’s noweapon policy, which is clearly stated on the website. She only found out as part of her email exchange with Adam following the incident. In the emails Bufe asks Adam several times to clarify the Lyft weapons policy, specifically asking what classifies as a Boulder Weekly

weapon and what doesn’t. “I just purchased a 500 lumen SureFire flashlight to shine in a threatening person’s face, because of Weds night. Is that permissible to do, if he’s a threat? It’s non contact,” her email states. She also asks about pepper-spray, a wrench and a pencil. Adam responds by sending Bufe a link to the no-weapons policy on the website, which states “if any driver or passenger possesses a weapon in a Lyft vehicle, regardless of whether possession is legal where they are, they will be removed from the platform … Lyft reserves sole judgement on what constitutes a ‘weapon.’” “I’m going to say that’s probably my responsibility that I didn’t read it. But you don’t get a lot of guidance on Lyft,” she says. Adam never responded to Bufe’s repeated questions about what constitutes a weapon. Bufe does recall that as part of her training she received instructions not to take cash for rides and to watch out for “Lyftjacking” or mistakenly picking up the wrong passenger. This information came via the company’s Lyft Community Digest emails. Even so, she summarizes her frustration about her perceived lack of training: “The idea that there is a woman out there driving and she may need different guidance [than] a male driver, that is what I feel like is missing from all of this.” Thelen says the safety of all their drivers and passengers is of utmost priority to the company, as is equal opportunity for women, given that 30 percent of their drivers, 60 percent of their passengers and 50 percent of their leadership are women. As to the traumatic incident that has made Bufe take a hard look at her career as a TNC driver, she told Adam in their email exchange, “I don’t know what else I should have done in this situation.” While it’s impossible for Lyft and other TNC companies to keep all of their drivers, women or men, completely safe in all situations, it does seem reasonable that if decreasing street hails is actually a priority as the companies profess, then making the cars less recognizable (mustache, etc.) would seem a common sense step in the right direction. And if Bufe’s case is any indication, companies may also want to increase their driver training for new hires. Finally, creating stated terms of service that require all fares to remain outside the vehicle until the app download process is complete would serve to close a dangerous loophole in a system that has openly courted women drivers by claiming that it is safer than driving a traditional cab.

support immigration reform. It’s just a handful of politicians that can muddy the conversation and are standing in the way.” It’s not just Republicans, says Jennifer Piper, who worked closely with García throughout the case and is program organizer for the American Friends Service Committee. “I also think it’s sad because there are people in the Republican Party who don’t share those views who are silenced or fear being silenced, and there are also folks in the Democratic Party who haven’t shown any response to this issue, like Hillary Clinton at San Francisco. Like, which party are you with?” Piper says. “There’s a small amount of legislators who are very good at whipping up a fear-based frenzy.” The incident in San Francisco Piper refers to involved comments from Clinton after a reporter asked her about her thoughts on an immigrant who had been deported five times, but who was charged with murdering a woman in June. San Francisco is a so-called “sanctuary city” and does not enforce federal immigration laws. Clinton told CNN, in part, “Well, what should be done is any city should listen to the Department of Homeland Security, which as I understand it, urged them to deport this man again after he got out of prison another time.” García says it’s alarming that Donald Trump, who made racist remarks about Mexican immigrants when he announced his run for presidency, is leading Republican polls. “It’s so stupid that someone with such a big microphone that’s running

for president would choose this moment to say such terrible things. We’re at a moment in time, when not just the immigrant community, but the black community is being targeted by individuals, and to speak those kind of hateful words into that space is a very dangerous thing to be doing. “And Donald Trump’s, in particular, words are not in accordance with reality because he has clothing businesses in Mexico where he’s paying people three bucks a day and creating part of the problem. What good is it to have a job in Mexico if you have to work in abusive conditions for low pay? And the same thing is that there is this disconnect between what many in the Republican Party are saying and attacking our dignity, and at the same time they’re not doing anything to solve the situation. And the way that they support free trade and those types of agreements are what pushes us out of our countries of origin.” Whether it is the media making a martyr of a man in sanctuary, or the media and politicians reducing an entire population of immigrants to a talking point and, soon, a stump speech tenet, what is clear is that there is a massive lack of communication. Immigration reform is simply a moral imperative that has become a political debate. And the further this thing spirals out of control, the harder it will be to make meaningful change, Piper says. “It takes time to get back to the reality,” Piper says, “and I think when immigrants are invisible from the debate, it becomes toxic really fast.” Boulder Weekly

Mollie Putzig

Only you can prevent West Nile virus

Recent tests show the virus has arrived across Boulder County by Mollie Putzig

ith a backpack full of specialized bacteria, a force of technicians patrols Boulder-area still waters for miniature pests that can metamorphose into airborne vectors of disease. Acting like the Ghostbusters for mosquitoes, technicians seek out larvae and douse them with a spray of tiny bacteria called Bti — Bacillus thuringiensis israelenis. Bti is derived from naturally occurring soil bacteria and act as a larvicide that kills infantile mosquitoes before they can emerge from their watery breeding grounds. Mosquito control accomplishes more than just improving the outdoor activities that Boulderites love, it helps prevent a sometimes-fatal disease: West Nile virus. “[West Nile virus] is a preventable disease, and the goal of our program is to reduce that risk,” says Marshall Lipps, environmental health specialist with Boulder County Public Health. Most people would never know they were infected with West Nile virus, but one in five will contract West Nile fever, which can last weeks to months. The rare few, less than 1 percent, will develop a neuroinvasive disease like encephalitis or meningitis, which inflame the brain or surrounding tissue. These severe infections can cause permanent damage and even death. As of July 22, West Nile virus was found in mosquitoes in ponds at Stazio Ballfield and Christensen Park in the City of Boulder. The first mosquitoes to hit Boulder County were found in three areas in Longmont on July 9: Jim Hamm Nature Area, St. Vrain Greenway at Emory Street and Lefthand Creek at Creekside. Across the state, mosquitoes in Denver, Larimer and Weld counties tested positive for West Nile virus and a human case was reported in Mesa County on July 8. “We’re not out to exterminate mosquitoes, but we’re

likelihood of humans, animals and nontarget insects being affected by the spray. “Adult mosquitoes, during the day, tend to hang out in cooler areas and vegetation because they’re tiny little insects, and they dry out in the hot sun,” Abernathy says. “They tend to find these cooler areas of vegetation and that’s called harborage. So it’s possible that you could identify the hot spot areas where you had likely West Nile virus infections and you could just treat that vegetation.” OtterTail monitors mosquito populations including number and species throughout the county on a week-toweek basis and tests the bugs for West Nile virus. Mosquitoes are attracted to the breath of their next blood meal, so OtterTail’s traps are rigged with a cooler full of dry ice. “We put dry ice in a cooler and that emits carbon dioxide throughout the night, which attracts the mosquitoes,” says Joe Cox, biologist with OtterTail. “It mimics our breathing, or exhaling, so it attracts mosquitoes to the trap and then they’re further attracted to a light source and then blown down through a fan into the net that collects them. “We bring those mosquitoes back to the lab, we freeze ’em, identify ’em and then depending on the numbers we may spray in those areas if there are high counts,” Cox says. Thresholds that trigger spraying are higher in the City of Boulder than elsewhere, where spraying is a preventive measure rather than emergency procedure. When Boulder County turns to adulticide sprays to attack mosquitoes that have escaped larvicide treatments, they use a permethrin-based spray. Permethrin is a synthetic insecticide derived from chrysanthemum flowers. “[Permethrin] disrupts the ability of the mosquito to fly,” Lipps says. “It starts to disrupt some of the chemical signals within the mosquitoes … that’s how the mosquito ends up dying is they just fall down to the ground.” The county chose permethrin over organophosphates like malathion, which have been in use longer. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) lists both as toxic to fish and insects, including important pollinators like honeybees. High doses of either chemical are known to affect the human nervous system, but because pesticide applications use ultra-low volume spray, the EPA maintains that they don’t pose an “unreasonable risk” to humans or the environment. “Even if you do come in contact with [permethrin], we have the ability to break this product down very quickly, so it doesn’t tend to leave any long-lasting effect,” Lipps says. “The biggest risk is probably to an applicator having an

acute exposure if they’re mixing it or something like that rather than the general public as we’re out spraying in the neighborhood.” It takes contact with only one diluted droplet of pesticide to kill an adult mosquito. In lieu of chasing mosquitoes with a squirt gun full of pesticides, Boulder County uses truck sprayers. The spray comes out in drops so small that they remain suspended in the air, so mosquitoes can fly into them. This method has been criticized as inefficient because mosquitoes have to fly into the sprayed area to be affected, while larvicide can be applied directly to mosquito-ridden waters. Larvicide is also cheaper than adulticide, but larvicide requires a larger physical task force. Spraying the streets from a truck at night covers a lot more ground than someone checking each area of standing water and applying treatment by hand. The City of Boulder spends $240,000 a year on mosquito abatement, while the unincorporated areas of Boulder County have a $313,000 contract with OtterTail. Both the city and county stress that preventing West Nile virus does not end with their programs, urging residents to take steps to protect themselves. Together they promote the four Ds of prevention. Drain standing water around your house. Limit outdoor activities at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active. Dress in long sleeves and pants. Wear a DEETbased repellent or proven alternative like lemon-eucalyptus oil or picaridin. Anything from a birdbath to a kiddie pool to an over watered lawn can become a breeding ground for mosquitoes. They will lay eggs in as little as one inch of standing water if it persists for a week or more. “These Culex mosquitoes tend not to travel very far from the area that they emerge,” Abernathy says. “So if you have mosquitoes breeding in standing water in your yard, they’re not gonna travel very far, they’re gonna be hanging around your neighborhood.” Culex populations spike in the end of July and throughout August when the warm weather accelerates their lifecycle. The time from egg to adult mosquito is usually one to two weeks, but can be as short as four days under the right conditions. “If we continue to get this rain and then have several weeks of very hot weather, I would certainly expect to see some large increases in mosquito populations,” Lipps says. “So it’s beginning, we’re there,” he says. “When our first positive will come in, it could be this week, it could be next week. There’s no way to predict that.” Boulder Weekly

he river starts as nothing, just a trickle of snowmelt in the high Rockies, the wet drops of a winter’s precipitation falling off of lichen-covered rocks, streaking cliffs in dark zebra stripes of moisture. But it grows bigger quickly. The tributaries, both large and small, feed the monster, until the drops all flow together under the same name: The Colorado. Flowing 1,450 miles from its headwaters in the Rocky Mountains to the Gulf of California in Mexico, the Colorado drains over 246,000 square miles, providing water to 35 million people, while fueling a $1.4 trillion economy. Because of this, much has been written about the river. It’s the lifeblood of farmers and quenches the thirst of numerous cities. It’s been tamed by massive civil engineering projects Boulder Weekly

an interesting way to pair athletics and adventure with something bigger that has greater meaning. It also serves as a great motivator for me, more than if it was just swimming to set a record or do a long swim. If it is something bigger, and there is something on the line, I don’t want to let them down.” Part of not letting anyone down, including himself, is his training regime. The Costa Rican effort was, Moseley says, a “warm up” for the attempt on the Colorado. And along with that swim as well as plenty of pool time, he’s been mixing it up. “I’ve been doing a lot of core work,” Moseley says. “Paddle boarding on Boulder Reservoir, and a lot of other 26 July 23, 2015

I love it — I will keep it up.” But first he has to swim a 50-mile stretch of the Colorado River. Fifty miles of one of America’s most iconic rivers.

t’s a warm spring day when John, dressed in a red plaid shirt with notes peeking out of the breast pocket, the first few scrawled pencil lines of which read yesterday’s date and “7:49 a, wind blowing from the west very hard,” and tan corduroys that sag in the seat, pauses on the sidewalk in front of the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art. He looks up at the sign over the entrance, then down at the door, up again to the sign, then his hand reaches for the door. He starts a sentence, fumbles, and Nicole DialKay, BMoCA’s education coordinator, helps. “Are you here for the program this afternoon?” He is. She shows him back to a row of fold-up seats that frame Robbie Rowlands’ “if this light can hold,” where he joins another attendee, Dan, and his wife, as well as staff and volunteers from the Alzheimer’s Association Colorado Chapter who have gathered for the “Access Art” tour for individuals with Alzheimer’s and dementia. The program is modeled after “Meet Me at MoMA,” one of an increasing number of programs that look at ways to engage with people living with these diseases and offer something that might improve their quality of life, or at least give them a Boulder Weekly

good reason to get out of the house. Docents are trained specifically in how to engage people living with dementia; at BMoCA, the questions invite attendees to reminisce and engage with the artwork, to share about their lives and their memories. During this spring’s exhibit, Substrate, for which BMoCA invited artists to tear up the soon-to-bereplaced floors, they peered into opened floorboards and walls, the bowels of the museum in some ways, admiring the various vintages of nails and screws still in the sawdust. They spoke of imagined stories, and of the memories of working with their hands and wood and what might have left the marks in the wood they can still see — scar marks from saws and memorials of bent-over nails. “Besides looking at this piece, you can smell it, too,” observes T’Alyne, the museum educator leading the tour. “I’ve completely lost my sense of smell,” John says, “I can imagine what sawdust could smell like.” For his installation piece, Rowland cut a diagonal strip out of the hundred-year-old wood floor and up the drywall to the ceiling and rolled it up into a spiral. But John walks past it to the place where drywall has been sliced away to reveal an opaque window and

declares, “This place in it is the place I like best.” He reaches into the open space between the drywall and the glass and brick so far that his hand disappears past the shining gold wedding band, which catches the light as he draws it back out. Dan stands astride the split in the floor and, asks, pointing to the crossbeams and sawdust and opening in the floor, “Is this a piece of art right here?” It is, T’Alyne assures him. Still looking into the gash in the floor, Dan observes, “If you stepped on it, you’re going right through to the basement.” They begin to contemplate what’s in the basement. Dead bodies, Dan suggests. Turns out, there’s a window into the basement — for “Platform for Viewing,” Adam Batemen cut out a portion of the floor and built it into an above-ground walkway, a viewing area like that from a national park, that looks down on the now plexi-glass ceiling of the offices in the basement where a museum staff member sits at work. “Where do you remember seeing walkways like this?” T’Alyne asks, and sure enough, Dan remembers see AWAKENING Page 30

John wanders back to “if this light can hold” and steps “Why are you writing so much and not saying anything?” right between the hip-height curls of floorboards. he asks. “What do you think?” T’Alyne asks.

buzz Caulfield says. “Then the last 10 minutes showed people who are just completely at ease. They weren’t concerned with things. … They were engaged with the artwork. Their affect had changed completely.” Docents even learned how to engage with people whose aphasia, a loss of ability to speak, made verbal communication difficult, and so used a smile, a frown or a tapping foot to join the conversation. No one is put on the spot, but all participation is equally acknowledged, and people in all stages of Alzheimer’s are welcome. “The artwork itself is not the main thing, it’s the notion of getting out there into the community, being part of society, being asked for your opinion,” he says. “That’s something that connects all of us as human beings. Too often people are warehoused and just assumed to be no longer with us. They might be called patients or sufferers, and they’re there in the present moment, they can appreciate the experience, but it’s up to us to remove those barriers.” In some ways, he says, it’s a human rights issue, as much about not locking someone away because of a diagnosis in the name of protecting that person, as it is about access to art. Building a sense of community is where the real treatment lies, he says, whether it’s their art museum program, or one that takes attendees to the movies, or any other community engagement. “As a species, we do better when we’re connected with others and not segregated and isolated from the rest of the community, and that’s where we think the real treatment lies,” he says. “That’s really what it is, the opportunity for the person to be themselves and be among friends and out in society and be fully alive and present, not lost to the past but very much in the year 2015.” Research is threading some science behind the anecdotes. Alzheimer’s often doesn’t affect the amygdala, the brain’s emotional center. For some people with dementia, creativity centers in the brain may even be enhanced. “While the brains inevitably age, creative abilities don’t necessary decrease,” says Angela Lunde, a cognitive health and wellness specialist at the Mayo Clinic. “We think about dementia in terms of losses, and our medical model tends to look at what that person can no longer do, their disabilities, but yet, what art has done I think is really tap into what it is that is preserved in individuals.” Memories of skills built through practice and repetition, like making art or music, lasts into the middle stages of dementia. Boulder Weekly

“That rhythm, that understanding of painting and the brush and the colors begins to be ingrained in the procedural memory bank where it’s going to be better stored and better accessible,” Lunde says. “Which is why my greatgreat-grandmother who lived to be over 100 years old and was in dementia, was still playing Beethoven on the piano until the week before she died.” Those habits can also translate to more practical skills, like using a calendar, or art can be used to communicate

memories, to recall what’s been forgotten in some way, or to express what verbal skills can no longer be wrapped around. Art makes new demands of neurons, forcing them to make new connections, to stay youthful. Around 300 care communities and adult day programs in the Denver metro area run painting programs, and every Friday the Alzheimer’s Association hosts a music program that moves to Boulder on a quarterly basis. Focus on what comes out of the art,

on the innate and unguarded responses to it, Caulfield says, and you’re not dealing with the disease, you’re dealing with the person. Up to a week later, he says, he’s seen program participants continue to talk about the program, and ask when they’re going back to the museum. The plan at BMoCA is to offer one tour per exhibition. The next is scheduled for July 30 to see Flatlander, an exploration of the world through flat screens.

Audience members at this event will solve the mystery of the murder of “W.H. Pickens,” a high-profile philanthropist of Boulder County. A silent auction for the LDT will also take place throughout the evening. — Sam Routhier

TV On The Radio has picked up a few tips since they formed in 2001. As they keep making music, they’re continuing to evolve as artists. “[In the beginning] I really had an attitude about not wanting to get better at [playing music] because I had some weird indie rock attitude about [my music] getting in the way of real feelings or something, but I definitely feel like I’m having more fun playing now than I was having when I first started,” says Kyp Malone, the backing vocals and guitarist. “You create a musical language amongst yourselves ... and you can explore more and invent within that language and it opens up a multitude of possibilities,” Malone says. This language is spoken deeply in their songs, which all convey different messages about current issues, love, hate and diversity. Malone says this message is not unified because things in the world are always changing, and call for new meanings. “It’s boring for me to talk to you about [politics] sometimes because people feel like if I’m talking like this I’m being preachy, but if I can figure out a way to talk like this in rhyme and make it danceable then we’re getting somewhere potentially,” Malone says. “Then maybe someone doesn’t mind hearing the message.” Malone says you don’t have to be a virtuoso to make music, and that he likes to view himself as someone who promotes peace. “Even talking about it and suggesting it is good work potentially,” he says. “At the very least it’s not promoting bullshit and hatred.”

Hellions of Holyfunk (With a head nod to Bobbito) The Hellions of Holyfunk rolled to Boulder All 4-20 like green-sleeved blackbirds; They shot over shoulders up 36 Throwing back Denver side famed last words. The Hell Holies hit the Creek Path band shell— Four score, so seven short of Gettysburg; Lucky thing they didn’t need Shaw’s 54th Or Panthers to snipe down the ghetto bird. The H Dub washed up on a baked shore, 4 wide, 20 deep at the reservoir; Eclecticity meant white bums over Sagged pants plus emo geezers rouged up noir. The Holy Hell, Funk All eyed their gigs list And recalled it was nigh on time to traipse; They could pull two thousand at their Cali stops But what hassle just to top up vapes.

No Wright, still alright

‘Ant-Man’ defies odds by being good  by Ryan Syrek

n the belly of a hollowed-out volcano, maniacally laughing and rubbing their hands together in a way only villains are wont to do, WB/DC executives had to be overjoyed when writer/director Edgar Wright left Ant-Man just as production was starting. Finally! A Marvel Studios misstep! “Soon,” they must have thought. “Very soon, the world will forget Green Lantern and Catwoman! They’ll replace Batman and Robin on their ‘what were they thinking’ list with Ant-Man! I mean, they actually replaced a critically acclaimed artist with the guy who did Bring It On! This simply can’t be good! Mwahahaha!” Actually, it can, and it is. Those were preemptive mwahahahas; sorry, volcano dwellers. Ant-Man does have a clunky-as-hell first act. It’s where all the warts of changing pilots appear. Director Peyton Reed doesn’t let charismatic reverse-ager Paul Rudd fly his freak flag at first, reducing him to a kind of boring dude. Rudd is Scott Lang, a talented electrical engineer who spent the last few years in prison for Quirky and more intimate than most comic book movies, burglarizing a corrupt Ant-Man is more like a heist flick with super heroes. CEO in a total Robin Hood riff. Once he leaves the clink, he reunites with former cellmate Luis (Michael Peña) who convinces him to do “one more job,” stealing from another CEO. Lang doesn’t want to, but he loves his daughter and his ex ( Judy Greer) says he can’t see her until he pays up on child support. When Lang and gang bust into their targeted safe, they find only a weird suit. Lang tries it on, because that’s what you do when you find a weird suit and mask. He discovers the ability to shrink into ant-size, while retaining vast strength. Turns out the theft was all a ruse set up by the suit’s owner and original Ant-Man, Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), who wants Lang to use it to break into his old company and prevent the new CEO, Darren Cross (Corey Stoll), from weaponizing shrinking technology. With the help of Pym’s daughter, Hope (Evangeline Lilly), Lang must train for and pull off a daring heist in no time flat. What works best in Ant-Man is the cast. Douglas, Rudd and Lilly have ridiculous amounts of chemistry, with Douglas’s “get off my lawn” attitude pleasantly playing off Rudd’s goofy schtick and Lilly’s earnest seriousness. But in a movie about thieves, it’s Peña who steals every scene. His perma-smiling, fast-talking excon is just gut-bustingly funny. And as many have been quick to note, the lower stakes here feel fresh. As comic book movies have scrambled to get bigger and bigger, Ant-Man delightfully and appropriately shrinks the scope. Beyond the dull first act, the film also misses Wright in the big visual numbers. It’s not that Reed botches them. He doesn’t. In fact, all of the set pieces are pretty great. They’re just mostly straightforward. Thinking of what Wright could do visually with a scene set in a kaleidoscopic “quantum reality” between molecules fills one with giant-sized regret. Still, Ant-Man is great; an optimistic jaunt with plenty of cleverness and oodles of joy. Yet another feather in Marvel Studio’s increasingly peacocked cap. This review first appeared in The Reader of Omaha, Neb.

film ON THE BILL:

Tangerine. Opens July 24. Landmark Theatres Chez Artiste 110 Broadway St., Denver, 303-744-6799. Tickets start at $8.50 at landmarktheatres.com.

Tangerine breaks the mold of modern-day cinema with the LA saga about two transgender prostitutes.

he time has come to rewrite Jean-Luc Godard’s aphorism: “All you need for a movie is a gun and a girl.” Writer/director/cinematographer Sean Baker doesn’t even need the gun — just two transgender actresses, three iPhone 5s with fancy lenses and East Hollywood at his disposal. If all art is political (also Godard), then consider Tangerine as shots across cinema’s bow. Welcome to the revolution. Tangerine follows two best friends and hustlers — Sin-Dee (Kitana Kiki Rodriguez) and Alexandra (Mya Taylor) — along Los Angeles’s sun drenched streets one warm Christmas Eve day. Both have business to conduct. Sin-Dee has been released from prison and needs to track down her pimp boyfriend, Chester ( James Ransone), who has hooked up with another one of his girls, Dinah (Mickey O’Hagan), while Sin-Dee was in the clink. Alexandra wants to support her best friend, but she has a singing gig tonight and wants no part of the drama Sin-Dee is capable of creating. And Sin-Dee can create a whole mess of trouble for anyone crossing her path. These whip-smart, fast-talking, sharp-as-tacks ladies take to LA’s streets, buses and subways to track down Chester and Dinah while passing out flyers to Alexandra’s show, turning tricks when the situation arises and doing it all in killer heels. LA is one of the more misunderstood and misrepresented cities in cinema, but Tangerine solves that problem by showing Hollywood’s Eastside as a universe unto itself. The hustlers, the pimps, the police, the Johns, the cabdrivers, even the girl behind the counter at Donut Time, all know each other in a vibrant community existing on the margins. When an unsuspecting John (Scott Krinsky) wanders in and gets more (or less) than he bargained for, a typical scene plays out in a wholly untypical fashion with a delightful turning of the tables. And while the story of two transgender prostitutes is already unconventional, Tangerine takes it to the next level by casting trans-actresses in the role and not just another cis-actor in drag. These women’s chromosomes were miscast in their own life story, adding an irreplaceable texture to Tangerine. As one says to the other: “The world can be a cruel place.” “Yeah it is cruel. God gave me a penis. That’s pretty damn cruel, don’t cha think?” Baker does right by these women and matches their content with his form. Shot on three iPhone 5s and made for very little money,Tangerine is instilled with pure electricity. Sin-Dee and Alexandra can carve anyone up with their lightning quick tongue and cross a city block without missing a step. And Baker hurtles his camera after them, trying to match them beat for beat, blow for blow. The result gives Tangerine urgency, immediacy and a whole lot of oomph. If there is a form to cinema, Tangerine is proof it can be broken, it can be changed and it can evolve. Thank God. There are a lot of movies that are “the movies of today,” but few have ever felt so present.

cuisine review

The French Twist

Matt Cortina

Mobile, Boulder County, 303-449-4212, thetwisttruck.com

Here’s the twist The French Twist food truck brings high cuisine to the street

by Matt Cortina

here’s a surprising amount of room onboard Louise. Chef Michael DeBoer and his wife Lori bought the old and deteriorating truck, which had lived a life as the famed Cheese Louise mobile restaurant. It died of having a hole in the floor underneath the driver’s seat, and truck-grade osteoporosis, which caused its support beams to rust to dust. But DeBoer, a Culinary Institute of America graduate and three-year apprentice at Flagstaff House (among other experiences), shelled out the dough to resurrect Louise. Two weeks into their venture, called The French Twist, Louise is cooking up crepes on a griddle, croque mesdames and messieurs on the grill and gaufretting potatoes in the fryer. DeBoer is also serving typical Matt Cortina French bistro fare including escargots, frogs legs (when available) and salads. It’s a small miracle DeBoer can put out quality French food from a truck, but the process begins early in the day in a shared kitchen, where béchamel, ratatouille, batter and more is prepped. The finished product looks like gourmet food on paper plates, a juxtaposition DeBoer delights in. We order at the window and head inside to Upslope’s Lee Hill taproom in north Boulder, where the truck is parked for the weekend. It’s open mic night at Upslope and some tie-dyed soul is wailing on a harmonica with a recorded acoustic guitar over the top. The beer — first a casked habanero raspberry ale, then a Nitro ESB — is great, but it’s not the point here.

The point comes on a silver tray: a niçoise salad with duck confit; escargots over ratatouille, ham and fresh greens; croque madame with gaufrettes; and a pear-chocolate crepe. I, too, am delighted by it all on paper plates. It’s the perfect presentation for what DeBoer is doing: making accesible what is typically only available here at a high price without sacrificing quality. Greyed and experienced, he is passionate about his food and his young business, and he wonders why people ever bother with establishments that phone it in with processed garbage or unexciting cuisine. It’s a welcomed approach. Of course all the passion would be for naught if the food stunk. The niçoise salad was dressed in a robust balsamic vinaigrette, and loaded with kalamata olives, capers, al dente green beans, two sliced hard-boiled eggs and a net of duck confit. The duck had an intense flavor and a little crunch. When all the ingredients were taken in a plastic fork, it worked wonders. It had the brightness and salinity that makes niçoise salads so refreshing. Next were the escargots. The snails were imported

from Denver (likely imported from somewhere else), and were de-shelled and roasted. They tasted like the beautiful silky earth, and when taken in with the warm ratatouille of tomatoes, squash and eggplant, it was a hearty bite for such a small amount of matter. DeBoer also throws ham in the escargots dish (for American palates), and it’s nice but ultimately unnecessary. Snails are best, for me, piping hot and bathing in garlic, butter and herbs, but this was a pleasant interpretation and just plain exciting to see on the menu. The croque madame was a heart-busting runaway winner. Two big slabs of sourdough or else some thick white bread, sandwiched around ham and cheese, smothered in an artfully constructed and rich mushroom béchamel sauce and topped with a fried egg. If you try this and you don’t like this, get out. The gaufrettes were salty little treats, perfect for snacking on at the bar — DeBoer says it’s his top seller so far. The crepe was buttery and rich, and the chocolate inside was of critical importance. The last bite at the bottom of the crepe where the chocolate had pooled was an excellent way to end the meal. DeBoer says the menu will largely be determined by what’s available going forward, but you’ll be able to find the standards listed above year-round. Following the truck around to get your croque madame fix might be a bit harder.

Celebrate food times, come on There exists an entire holiday for your favorite food by Renee Moen Wikipedia

eorge Bernard Shaw once said, “There is no sincerer love than the love of food.” No truer words were ever spoken. Food is needed to keep humans moving, functioning. Food may also be craved, savored and enjoyed. Americans love their food. From cooking contests to eating contests, there is no end to talking, reading or discussing food options. There are days, weeks and months devoted to specific food items. America was once known as the great melting pot due to the tidal wave of immigration. The country could now be referred to as a melting pot due to the flood of food influences. Cultural, regional and dietary cooking practices make indulging possibilities endless. In most countries there are a handful of days commemorating sacred or seasonal staples often correlating with a national or religious holiday. While the rest of the world has set aside a dozen or so days out of the year, Americans have set aside close to 200 days to celebrate various foods, dishes and drinks. This doesn’t include the weeks or months set aside for celebration of more favored dishes and drinks.

Boulder Weekly

Cheese Sacrifice Day is July 29. What a thing to exist.

The entire month of August, all 31 days, are devoted to celebrating national treasures such as peaches, panini and the beloved sandwich. While the month revolves around these special food items, there are lesser known food “holidays” in which Americans take a specific day to laud such delicacies as the raspberry cream pie (August 1), s’mores (August 10) and for those who choose to imbibe, whiskey sours

(August 29). More than half of the holidays were created by marketing groups to promote certain products, but there is presidential backing to a couple of these commemorations. President Reagan declared June 25 National Catfish Day and the third Sunday in July National Ice Cream Day. There is no documentation on whether he declared National Jelly Bean Day, which falls on April 22. President Bill Clinton set aside an entire week in February devoted to wine. There are close to two dozen days devoted to peanuts and peanut products; however, there is nothing connecting President Jimmy Carter to declaring any of those days as special. It isn’t just presidents that get the pleasure of declaring national food days; other government officials get the honors as well. In 2003 Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell declared April 26 as National Pretzel Day. Since Pennsylvania is the leading pretzel manufacturer in the country, it’s only fitting they get to choose the pretzel day. If one day devoted to pretzels isn’t enough, September 26 is also considered National see FOOD DAY Page 54

Sharing is caring

Or is it? Boulder’s happy hour scene shuns shareable cocktail trend by Noel Phillips

or better or worse, we live in a culture of sharing. We share our photos, our statuses, our relationship highs and lows, favorite recipes, workouts, selfies, DIY projects and even our meals. The rise of the Internet tapped into our innately social mindset, lit a fuse under it and exploded it across our screens for all to see. It’s no surprise the sharing mentality would eventually permeate our lives offline, as well. Workplaces encourage carpooling; housing developments are designed to incorporate shared common areas; foodies queue up outside restaurants to gorge on shared plates; and now, in growing popularity across the country, we can share our cocktails. Shareable cocktails, drinks large enough to split amongst friends, are a hot trend in bars across the country and even overseas. Cocktails might arrive at the table in hollowed out watermelons or pineapples, glass skulls, giant silver flasks, ornate teapots, French presses, wooden moai cups Wikipedia or creative glassware. Watching the waiter set the impressive drink down on the table is a fun experience. Other tables glance over and raise their hand to order the same. The adventure inspires camaraderie and fun conversation. But it’s not just the sociability of the experience that has increased the marketability of the trend. The price point isn’t too bad either. While a $40 price tag may seem daunting at first, once split amongst four or more friends, the Sharable cocktails are served in a variety of ways, but they have yet to reach Bouldrink in one’s hands happily costs less der County than a single specialty cocktail or pint of craft brew. Cheaper drinks means a longer night of fun and the ability to go out more often. With the positives of such an experience, why then has the shareable cocktail trend not reached the bars and restaurants of Boulder? One can find the occasional pitcher of sangria or mojitos, but nothing that speaks to the craft cocktail scene. Group drinks are only recently trickling into the Denver bars with a few locations such as Steuben’s and Punch Bowl Social providing crowds with shared drinks, but nothing that rivals what can be found in LA, D.C., Boston, Chicago, New York and even Portland. Some Boulder proprietors chuckle and shake their heads when thinking about storage space for large glassware. The Riverside bartender, Peter Beihoffer, suggests that perhaps it’s a trend more suited to college bars, noting the fishbowls at The Walrus as an example. Stanley Usinowicz, beverage director of Japango, describes the population of Boulder as one focused on healthy, conscious living which he feels may contribute to “the abstinence of more frivolous behavior in consumptive pursuits.” But Tim Wormser, also a bartender at The Riverside, offers another viewpoint. “In Boulder, we don’t have as many shareable cocktails because people are so into the happy hour scene,” Tim notes as he points out the Meetup group gathering around us. “It’s a bunch of people who don’t know each other and just met getting drinks together.” The vast number of networking happy hours in Boulder is staggering. Professionals of all ages and ilk gather each day to get to know one another and talk business — and strangers don’t typically want to share a cocktail. They prefer ordering and paying for their own drink. But Wormser feels there is room in Boulder for the shareable cocktail trend, “but no one has taken the initiative.” Perhaps if one establishment added creative shared drinks to their menu, in keeping with the high level of art that individuals such as Usinowicz value, then that’s all it would take in Boulder’s competitive restaurant world — the others would follow suit. Whatever the reason behind Boulder’s lack of involvement in the trend, local bartenders and proprietors seem split on the idea of incorporating the experience. Perhaps the shared cocktail scene will bypass the area, and, like a good little hipster, Boulder will simply continue to curl its mustache and stay trendy by avoiding the trends. Boulder Weekly

MARCH 21-APRIL 19:

“I am very much in love with no one in particular,” says actor Ezra Miller. His statement would make sense coming out of your mouth right about now. So would this one: “I am very much in love with almost everyone I encounter.” Or this one: “I am very much in love with the wind and moon and hills and rain and rivers.” Is this going to be a problem? How will you deal with your overwhelming urge to overflow? Will you break people’s hearts and provoke uproars everywhere you go, or will you rouse delight and bestow blessings? As long as you take yourself lightly, I foresee delight and blessings.

TAURUS

APRIL 20-MAY 20:

In her io9.com article on untranslatable words, Esther Inglis-Arkell defines the Chinese term wei-wu-wei as “conscious non-action ... a deliberate, and principled, decision to do nothing whatsoever, and to do it for a particular reason.” In my astrological opinion, the coming days would be a favorable time to explore and experiment with this approach. I think you will reap wondrous benefits if you slow down and rest in the embrace of a pregnant pause. The mysteries of silence and emptiness will be rich resources.

GEMINI

MAY 21-JUNE 20:

“I always liked side-paths, little dark back-alleys behind the main road — there one finds adventures and surprises, and precious metal in the dirt.” The character named Dmitri Karamazov makes that statement in Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s novel The Brothers Karamazov. And now I’m thinking that you might like to claim his attitude as your own. Just for a while, you understand. Not forever. The magic of the side paths and back-alleys may last for no more than a few weeks and then gradually fade. But in the meantime, the experiences you uncover there could be fun and educational. I do have one question for you, though: What do you think Dmitri meant by “precious metal in the dirt”? Money? Gold? Jewelry? Was he speaking metaphorically? I’m sure you’ll find out.

CANCER

JUNE 21-JULY 22:

“Sometimes the road less traveled is less traveled for a reason,” says comedian Jerry Seinfeld. His implication is that rejecting traditional strategies and conventional wisdom doesn’t always lead to success. As a professional rebel myself, I find it painful to agree even a little bit with that idea. But I do think it’s applicable to your life right now. For the foreseeable future, compulsive nonconformity is likely to yield mediocrity. Putting too much emphasis on being unique rather than on being right might distract you from the truth. My advice: Stick to the road more traveled.

LEO

JULY 23-AUG. 22:

I expect you to be in a state of constant birth for the next three weeks. Awakening and activation will come naturally. Your drive to blossom and create may be irresistible, bordering on unruly. Does that sound overwhelming? I don’t think it will be a problem as long as you cultivate a mood of amazed amusement about it. (P.S. This upsurge is a healthy response to the dissolution that preceded it.)

VIRGO

AUG. 23-SEPT. 22:

Expiration dates loom. Fond adieus and last laughs and final hurrahs are on tap. Unfinished business is begging you to give it your smartest attention while there’s still time to finish it with elegance and grace. So here’s my advice for you, my on-the-verge friend: Don’t save any of your tricks, ingenuity or enthusiasm for later. This is the later you’ve been saving them for. You are more ready than you realize to try what has always seemed improbable or inconceivable before now. Here’s my promise: If you handle these endings with righteous decisiveness, you will ensure bright beginnings in the weeks after your birthday.

LIBRA

SEPT. 23-OCT. 22:

A company called Evil Supply sells a satirical poster that contains the following quote: “Be the villain you were born to be. Stop waiting for someone to come along and

Boulder Weekly

corrupt you. Succumb to the darkness yourself.” The text in the advertisement for this product adds, “Follow your nightmares … Plot your own nefarious path.” Although this counsel is slightly funny to me, I’m too moral and upright to recommend it to you — even now, when I think there would be value in you being less nice and polite and agreeable than you usually are. So I’ll tinker with Evil Supply’s message to create more suitable advice: “For the greater good, follow your naughty bliss. Be a leader with a wild imagination. Nudge everyone out of their numbing routines. Sow benevolent mischief that energizes your team.”

SCORPIO

OCT. 23-NOV. 21:

“Every time you resist acting on your anger and instead restore yourself to calm, it gets easier,” writes psychologist Laura Markham in Psychology Today. In fact, neurologists claim that by using your willpower in this way, “you’re actually rewiring your brain.” And so the more you practice, the less likely it is that you will be addled by rage in the future. I see the coming weeks as an especially favorable time for you to do this work, Scorpio. Keeping a part of your anger alive is good, of course — sometimes you need its energy to motivate constructive change. But you would benefit from culling the excess.

SAGITTARIUS NOV. 22-DEC. 21:

Much of the action in the world’s novels takes place inside buildings, according to author Robert Bringhurst. But characters in older Russian literature are an exception, he says. They are always out in the forests, traveling and rambling. In accordance with astrological omens, I suggest that you draw inspiration from the Russians’ example in the coming days. As often and as long as you can, put yourself in locations where the sky is overhead. Nature is the preferred setting, but even urban spots are good. Your luck, wisdom and courage are likely to increase in direct proportion to how much time you spend outdoors.

CAPRICORN

DEC. 22-JAN. 19:

Has a beloved teacher disappointed you? Are there inspirational figures about whom you feel conflicted because they don’t live up to all of your high standards? Have you become alienated from a person who gave you a blessing but later expressed a flaw you find hard to overlook? Now would be an excellent time to seek healing for rifts like these. Outright forgiveness is one option. You could also work on deepening your appreciation for how complicated and paradoxical everyone is. One more suggestion: Meditate on how your longing for what’s perfect might be an enemy of your ability to benefit from what’s merely good.

AQUARIUS

JAN. 20-FEB. 18:

French and Italian readers may have no problem with this horoscope. But Americans, Canadians, Brits and Aussies might be offended, even grossed out. Why? Because my analysis of the astrological omens compels me to conclude that “moist” is a central theme for you right now. And research has shown that many speakers of the English language find the sound of the word “moist” equivalent to hearing fingernails scratching a chalkboard. If you are one of those people, I apologize. But the fact is, you will go astray unless you stay metaphorically moist. You need to cultivate an attitude that is damp but not sodden; dewy but not soggy; sensitive and responsive and lyrical, but not overwrought or weepy or histrionic.

PISCES

FEB. 19-MARCH 20:

Which signs of the zodiac are the most expert sleepers? Who best appreciates the healing power of slumber and feels the least shame about taking naps? Which of the twelve astrological tribes are most inclined to study the art of snoozing and use their knowledge to get the highest quality renewal from their time in bed? My usual answer to these questions would be Taurus and Cancer, but I’m hoping you Pisceans will vie for the top spot in the coming weeks. It’s a very favorable time for you to increase your mastery of this supreme form of self-care.

SAVAGE by Dan Savage

Dear Dan: My wife and I have been together for more than 10 years, practicing some kind of nonmonogamy for more than seven. We tried different things — open, dating others, FWBs — but after a bi threesome with another guy a year ago, we knew that was our thing. For a while, everything was great, but roughly a month after that defining threesome, I came down with a bad case of mono. In a couple of months, we resumed our bi sexdates with our FWB, and I noticed I had a hard time getting horny and even had a hard time getting (and staying) hard. More foreplay was needed and fewer distractions were acceptable. I even resorted to pharmaceutical help. We assumed I was still recovering and that diet and exercise would LaRae Lobdell make it all better. Then I had a work-related crisis that lasted until March (and blamed stress from that, since things didn’t really change), and finally in March I got shipped off to a war zone. And I still don’t have the drive I had a year ago. My brothersin-arms ogle every female who happens to be around, and sometimes they hook up even though they’re not in open relationships — unlike me, who is in one but has no desire to hook up with anyone. I rarely masturbate these days, and if I do, I need sexts and naughty pictures from my wife (and our FWB) back home to get in the mood. I just recently started to get morning wood again, and I blame all this on the stress of being in a war zone. But I fear these are just excuses, and I may have to accept the fact that I’m just getting older and this is how my libido is gonna be from now on. I’m turning 30 in a few weeks, so that doesn’t help, either. What are the chances that this is just an unlucky chain of events, and when this is over, I could go back to being my old horny self? — Currently Occupied Mostly By Arms Though

Dear COMBAT: I asked a doctor — Dr. Barak Gaster, a physician at the University of Washington and a regular (if sometimes mortified) guest expert around here — if mono could Boulder Weekly

damage and/or diminish a guy’s libido, his ability to stay hard and his masturbatory routine for nearly a year. “Mono is a viral illness for which there is no real treatment other than the tincture of time,” Dr. Gaster says. “Mono is a pretty insidious illness in that it typically causes really severe fatigue, which can linger for a long time. Other common symptoms are muscle and joint aches.” Could fatigue and aches still be affecting mood and interest in sex? “They could,” Dr. Gaster says. “It would not be typical, but they could. The duration of mono symptoms is typically around three months, but they can persist to some degree for one to two years in more severe cases. None of the effects of mono are typically considered ‘permanent.’ So it would be important to reassure someone that the effects of mono that are still present after 12 to 18 months could still likely resolve as more time passes.” You came down with mono less than a year ago, COMBAT, so you’re still in that one-to-twoyear symptoms-could-persist window. You also dealt with a work-related crisis before being shipped off to a combat zone — that sounds extremely stressful, and not everyone reacts to stress the same way. The stress of being in a combat zone could make the guys around you horny while having the opposite effect on you. Be reassured, like the doctor said, that things — your dick included — will most likely right themselves in another 6 to 12 months. The fact that morning wood is returning seems like a good sign, as is the effect a few dirty texts from the woman (and FWB) waiting for you back home has on your dick. Come home safe — and props to you and your wife for continuing to grow together sexually. That’s probably why you’re still together, and still in love, despite having married so young.

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

CITY UNLEASHES NEW “RIGHT-TUBING” PLAN FOR BOULDER COMMUTERS

A new study found that the first Americans came from Siberia about 23,000 years ago, during the last Ice Age. Researchers from around the globe say that the earliest inhabitants of America came over on an ice bridge, and stayed in North America for thousands of years before some populations headed south. The study was published in the journal Science. What a load of baloney. Everyone knows America was born out of a fever dream Ben Franklin had after eating too much raw colonial dog Wikipedia meat. You can read about it in his diary: “One of my slaves said a very funny thing to me and my nasty French mistress today. He says, he says to me, he says, ‘Ben,’ he says, ‘Tie a key to a kite and invent electricity.’ And I was like, ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about but that is the first thing I’m going to do when I wake up.’ Long story short, that young man turned out to be a fire hydrant, and in reality I was passed out, pants-less in the First Continental Congress building. That damned dog meat got me again! Anyway that’s how I came up with America. — Ben Franklin, 1779.” The new study immediately calls into question if “the Franklin theory,” as scholars call it, is still the leading theory on the creation of America.

On the heels of the debut of their right-sizing program, where a handful of two-lane roads throughout the city were reduced to one lane roads with a shared turn lane for cars and big bike lanes for cyclists, the City on Saturday tried out their new commuting program: right-tubing. With the help of consultants, “Slide the City,” University Hill was turned into a 1,000-foot slip and slide, where tube-commuters were finally given a safe area to ride their tubes to work. Wikipedia “I just feel safer riding my water tube on Boulder streets now that the city has undertaken this program,” said one Boulder resident. She went on to say, “Wheee!” Before the right-tubing plans were unfurled, tube commuters were experiencing stress from aggressive canoe and kayak paddlers. Elsewhere in the city, Boulder Creek commuters experienced an influx of traffic as the annual “Tube to Work Day” saw hundreds of new tube commuters clog the waterways. In response to complaints from the everyday tube commuters on Boulder Creek, City Council is considering banning the quirky Boulder holiday, and turning one lane from every road into a canal. The City’s planning department says early data suggests that as a direct result of the right-tubing initiatives, somewhere between one and 800 billion cars were taken off Boulder streets. “It’s a great success, and we don’t care if it’s stupid,” said the whole city in unison.
