Highroad When is daylight robbery not a crime? by Jim Hightower

thought Donnie Trump and his fellow Republicans were big law ‘n order politicians. So, why are they trying to kill the sheriff and unleash thousands of robbers to run wild across America? The sheriff they want to kill is the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The thieves they’re out to help are corporate debt collectors who pay pennies on the dollar to buy huge data bases of overdue bills — then hound

the borrowers to pay up. They profit from weak regulations that let them bully, harass, rob and run roughshod over tens of thousands of consumers every year — including people who’ve already paid off their debt or never even incurred it. Every year, the debt collection firms routinely abuse the law and overload our courts by rotely filing hundreds of thousands of lawsuits against debtors. Masses of these suits are backed by only flimsy, out-of-date, erroneous, forged or non-existent evidence. Collectors don’t care about the evidence, however, for their intent is not to win in court, but to frighten or bamboozle borrowers into paying. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau recently sided with the victims of this corporate thievery, proposing new rules to stop the abuse. The

Trumpist Republicans have responded with outrage — not at the corporate outlaws, but at the sheriff! Their GOP’s 2016 party platform advocates abolishing the consumer bureau, calling it a “rogue agency” for daring to stand up to the real rogues that’re openly robbing workaday Americans. Why are the GOP so shamefullysoft on crime? Because it is not just small fry debt collectors involved in this outlandish shakedown of innocent borrowers, but such Wall Street powerhouses as JPMorgan Chase and Citibank — which are also generous political donors to Republican candidates. Daylight robbery is a crime... or not. Depends on who is robbing whom. This opinion column does not necessarily reflect the views of Boulder Weekly. July 6 , 2017 5

been sliming Trump almost from the day he took office, regularly questioning his intelligence, integrity, honesty and sanity. Wanting to rip into assholes who treat you like that is a perfectly normal human reaction. The insane reaction is to sit there and take it and let them define you. This may come as a shock to Crazy Mika and Psycho Joe, but calling someone insane is libel — and doing it repeatedly over five months on national TV is pretty good evidence of malice. When someone libels you, you usually have two remedies available: 1) sue them for damages, or 2) exercise your right of reply. Since it’s virtually impossible for a public figure like the president to win a libel case, Trump has chosen to exercise his right of reply. Scarborough and Brzezinski have made libel and character assassination part of their brand, so it takes a lot of chutzpah on their part to pose as wounded sparrows when the guy they’ve been sliming hits back in kind. Hey, get over it, snowflakes. If you want to be part of The Resistance, you better learn how to take a hit. Rub some dirt on it and suck it up. If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Scarborough and Brzezinski aren’t the only media snowflakes who went into whining victim mode after being targeted by a Trump tweet. Last Sunday Trump tweeted a video of him body slamming and punching a man whose head had been replaced by the CNN logo. Like Joe and Mika, CNN has been talking trash about Trump 24/7 since he took office. But a couple of weeks ago CNN stepped on its junk by posting an erroneous, and libelous, story on its website about alleged collusion between a Trump confident and the Russians. CNN had to issue a humiliating apology and sack three of the staffers responsible, including one who had won a Pulitzer Prize at the New York Times before joining CNN. The video was Trump’s way of taking a victory lap after CNN’s pratfall. CNN and a large part of the Washington press corps immediately whined that the video was a thinly disguised call to violence against reporters. The claim was self-serving bullshit, but it’s easy to see why the ink-stained warriors of The Resistance may be getting a bit edgy about the prospect of becoming targets of angry Trump supporters — since they can’t seem to stop airing Trump assassination fantasies. (The most recent was MSNBC’s Chris Matthews joking, sort of, about the execution of Jared Kushner: “So the son-in-law — you know, one good thing Mussolini did was execute Boulder Weekly

his son-in-law.”) As with Scarborough and Brzezinski it takes world class temerity for these folks to play the victim card — and to play it in response to a silly video ridiculing them at that. Trump’s tweets, which reach more than 52 million followers, are not a sign of insanity or ego-mania or incipient fascism. They are a rational and obviously effective response to a national press

corps and elements of the American establishment that are out to get him. But in order to get him, they have to get Trump to play by their rules of discourse and decorum. But Trump isn’t about to play by their rules. He’s playing by Alinsky rules (as in Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals). Like Alinsky’s fifth rule: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It is almost

impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also, it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage. Or the 13th rule, which says make the attacks on your chosen targets personal and polarizing. Most of the Washington chattering class wants Trump to stop tweeting. In their dreams. This opinion column does not necessarily reflect the views of Boulder Weekly.

guest column Reflections on Walmart’s exit from Boulder by Matt Nicodemus

n any community, everybody should have access to affordable, decent-quality necessities of life. At the same time, all companies involved in the production and distribution of those affordable essential goods should do business in ways that honor and care for people and the planet, not disrespect and damage them, and they should operate in ways that don’t destroy the local economies of the communities in which they operate. For many years, there has been a national movement, comprising average citizens, small business owners, members of municipal governments, workers and a wide variety of organizations working for a better world, which has had as its aim to challenge and, when possible, help improve the policies and practices of the world’s largest retail corporation, Walmart. While there have also been efforts made, at times, to critique and alter the behaviors of other retail companies, the movement focused on Walmart has necessarily been more long-term and concerted due to the company’s gigantic size and its enormous, continuing levels of greed-driven, socially-environmentally irresponsible activity across the country and around the world. Understanding well that Walmart’s always-trumpeted low prices (which, for many items, end up not being nearly as low as initially advertised) reflect a systematic cheating of their workers, their suppliers, their host communities and the environment, Boulder residents long opposed the mega-corporation’s moves to build a Supercenter here. That’s why Walmart used legal technicalities to hide its 2013 entry into the community. And once it was open for business, the Neighborhood Market and its controllers at the company’s Bentonville, Arkansas headquarters continued to do all they could to prevent Boulder from learning what was happening at the store and in the company as a whole. Specific information on store business volume wasn’t made public, we weren’t allowed to hear from associates working there who had complaints about their employment, and company management made little effort to genuinely converse with community members and respond to their concerns. Their strategy appeared to be one of waiting out negative publicity and hoping critics would eventually tire and go away. But we didn’t go away, and Boulder-area consumers didn’t spend enough at the store for it to remain open. Without question, Walmart’s departure from town has left a significant number of our lower-income shoppers facing a harder time to obtain daily necessities and other important goods. These people are members of our community, so this is a problem the whole community must address. Will other major retailers here take on the responsibility of assuring that everyone who enters their establishments can find quality goods within their budget? Will owners of local enterprises be willing to broaden their offerings and/or reduce their profit margins enough so that everyone will be able to get the nutrition and other life support they require to lead a decent life? Will employers pay all of their workers enough so that they can buy what they need? Will the city government, news media, and non-profit groups disseminate information on where lower-priced products are available? Will Boulderites be more generous in personally contributing to assist their fellow citizens who face difficulty in making ends meet? We hope so, and we’re offering the Coalition for Social and Environmental Responsibility (CSERB) as one contact point for those who’d like to come together and help make that reasonable dream reality. This opinion column does not necessarily reflect the views of Boulder Weekly. Matt Nicodemus is the coordinator of CSERB. On Sunday, July 9, he will speak about the campaign against Walmart in Boulder and efforts to increase access to affordable goods for lower-income Boulder residents at the monthly potluck meeting of Veterans for Peace Boulder. The meeting will be held at 6 p.m., First United Methodist Church Boulder, 1421 Spruce St., Boulder, 303-442-3770.

letters American refugees

Nice job on the “Patriotism on Life Support” editorial, Mr. Dyer [Re: Dyertimes, June 29]. Unfortunately, the people who really need to read it are too busy following one another’s inane exploits on Facebook to read a print periodical like BW. I found myself in full agreement with every sentiment expressed on the page. Although my wife and I are a bit too old now to try to emigrate to a First World nation and start our lives over, I’ve been encouraging our sons to do so ever since this country first got so far off track during the Bill Clinton administration. They’ve been ignoring me until now, but I’m happy to say that they are now beginning to detect some wisdom in my advice. Best of luck, wherever you and your family end up as American refugees. Michael D./ via internet

Killing on open space

On June 20th, the Boulder County Commissioners voted for a Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) plan to allow hunting elk on Rabbit Mountain Open Space with the alleged goal of inducing the elk to migrate. Printed on every Parks and Open Space guide is the rule: “Feeding, disturbing, trapping, hunting or killing wildlife is not permitted.” A change of this magnitude in the management policy and public use of Open Space should have mandated independent analysis and review of CPW’s plan. Why did the Commissioners agree to killing on Open Space? CPW, a state agency funded largely by the sale of hunting licenses, devised the Rabbit Mountain Management Plan with the support of the county’s own Parks and Open Space staff. As BW readers of Rico Moore’s series “Off Target” are aware, CPW is currently being sued for another of their “management plans,” which focuses on killing mountain lions and bears. That management plan has been deemed “not scientifically justified” by CSU Dept. of Fish, Wildlife and Conservation Biology Professor Barry Noon. Similarly, Dr. Rob Ramey, a wildlife expert with international experience, noted the CPW’s Rabbit Mountain management plan included “no data or previous research (beyond anecdote and opinion) that supports the notion that the elk will be induced to migrate if subjected to hunting.” Dr. Ramey wrote that the plan “lacked transparency in data and methods which are the litmus test of science-based management.” He concluded with a “kill shot” of his own: that the CPW Rabbit Mountain Management Plan “is not how sciencebased natural resources management operates in the 21st century.” Boulder Weekly

Best Chiropractor

Dr. Ramey suggested the names of experts who are qualified to do independent assessment of the Rabbit Mountain issues and options. It’s standard policy in good science. Why didn’t the Commissioners follow-up and request peer review of the CPW plan? FDR said: “Nothing happens by accident in politics. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.” Clearly, hunters knew about CPW’s plan more than three and a half years ago. An email dated October 2013 from a member of a hunting organization to a member of Open Space staff expresses hunters’ eagerness to “help Boulder County implement a hunting program on Rabbit Mountain.” This past November 2016, voters agreed to extend funding Open Space. Seventy percent of the public registered that the protection of wildlife was the priority reason they were willing to vote for Open Space funding. Would the public have done so if they knew the CPW kill plan was waiting to be activated? It appears transparency is not only missing from the management plan, but also from the county’s interaction with the voting public. Let’s be honest — the CPW plan couldn’t survive an independent sciencebased review. And the sad political reality is that the Commissioners either didn’t have the courage to ask for third party independent assessment of the plan or they wanted to give CPW what CPW has always desired — access to hunt on Boulder County Open Space. For the County Commissioners, the betrayal of the public trust was a minor consideration. Anita Moss/Boulder

A novel idea

The Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s so-called “predator control” plan is the same old nonsense wildlife agencies have been spewing for decades. Hunters already kill and wound coyotes on sight, because they don’t need a license to shoot coyotes, and the CPW is dancing to their tune, by recommending killing black bears and cougars. How about this brilliant idea: To increase mule deer populations, stop hunting them, and start feeding them during the winter. Spend time and money doing positive, meaningful things to help Mother Nature: plant shrubs and trees for mule deer to eat and find cover for their fawns. The CPW is too crass and destructive and they cater to a small, dwindling population of animal killers who want to kill, wound and cripple yet more predators, kill more deer, kill more elk, etc. How about this novel idea: Respect the animals and their habitat instead of trashing them.

THANKS TO THE MANY GIFTED writers among

our readers, we are pleased to welcome you to Boulder Weekly’s 3rd Annual 101-Word Fiction Contest. Once again, this year’s competition grew significantly over last year’s — that’s to say that we had a lot more entries from considerably more writers this time around. And, as has been the case every year since we started this micro-fiction experiment, we were blown away by your imaginations and creativity. Now for the small print. As always, there was a five-entry limit on submissions a single writer could make and a lot of our submitters entered more than one piece. When it came to the judging, the number of submissions by a writer was not taken into consideration. In fact, all judging was done blind. Those of you who didn’t win may apply a different interpretation to that phrase but in this instance “blind” refers to the fact that we didn’t know who wrote what until after the final scoring was complete. As a result, you will notice that some writers have more than one piece published while others will have to try again next year to get their work into the final 20, which are published below. There were four judges who assigned each piece a score between 1 and 5. After the judging, the numbers were added together with the overall highest scores being the winners. In case of ties, which there were plenty of, the pieces which had originally received the same score from the judges,

3rd annual

contest

were rescored in a mini-competition just between those two or three entries in order to gain a final order. In the end, five winners were selected along with an additional five entries being chosen for honorable mentions. We have published those 10 stories along with the other 10 of our overall 20 finalists. So with that, please read and enjoy this year’s winners and finalists in our 101-word fiction contest. And as always, thanks most of all to these creative writers for sharing their amazing, all be it brief, work with all of us. — Joel Dyer, editor

o never have to eat again... until. This could be a story about afternoon rain, how it forms a tattered gauze behind which a rainbow smolders come springtime. Or water’s gravity, its weight, and the sun lifting it up again. It could be about my neighbor texting her neighbors, a married couple in their 50s, asking them not to scream at each other with such loud and disturbing vitriol on still summer nights. It could be about desert sand in the street gutters of the Mexican city of San Luis and the cancer clinic where someone’s girlfriend began her dying. —Tim Gale

ulling in bed, Fatso enjoyed caressing her emergent breasts. At breakfast she whispered to her mother, “I really need a bra.” “No,” her mother hissed, “dear god, not yet.” Fatso’s father looked up from his newspaper, a toast triangle levitating by his opened mouth. Sister Hortense’s seventhgrade classroom was blistering hot. Fatso’s nipples scratched against her starched uniform. Gazing upon a classmate’s bra straps resting daintily beneath a wispy blouse, she imagined her own breasts cradled in delicate china cups stretching the buttons of her hallowed blouse. Suddenly, her father’s cocked eyebrow appeared amid the gun fire of her heart. —Jean Thompson

Reflection

eflection is never easy and best done alone, naked, using your eyes as the only mirrors. Start at the toenails, opaque shields, and work your way past calf and thigh and chest and shoulder to face where you peel back the skin like an orange, leaving only the eyes. Move beyond the blue iris as easily as a swimmer’s toe slipping into a pool. The fruit here is rich and sweet. Observe the heart and brain from a variety of angles. Feel the pulse and surge of memory. This is the beginning, the pale tissue of a story unscarred. —Timothy Hillmer See 101-WORD FICTION Page 12

never said this would be easy. True taste-bud love doesn’t just fall off the food truck. My flavor profile is complex. My ingredients were right there chalked upon the signboard, in plain view for all to see — including you. You said you could handle the charred asada of my soul. My bitter cabbage, my incendiary salsa. I offered myself up to you for four dollars, free napkins, no strings attached. Sad little man. You devoured me in three bites, hardly chewing, at a time when I only wanted to be held. —Christopher Ransom

am Adelmira Rodriguez. I saw you this morning in the Denver International Airport near Gate C27. I followed you, sweeping up small flakes of toilet tissue debris from your stall’s floor. You laced your lips with red and tucked your short black hair behind your ears. I mashed down the wet towels discarded by you and others like you after you rinsed your hands in the sink. You bumped me and I apologized. You said nothing. I am Adelmira Rodriguez, and I silently dedicate this day to you. May goodness and kindness follow you all the days of your life. —Dar Mikula

Still, it serves as a centerpiece for the artist’s dinner. Tonight, he eats pork-and-broccoli stir-fry with his wife. The silver anniversary approaches. The artist’s spouse knows tonight’s the night because he gets hot whenever he blends meat with vegetables. She hates how he chews and has become an expert at faking love. She fakes it again when their lantern glows cold — smiling, knowing he knows nothing about her. — Kirby Wright

could eat Cheetos and watch TV, until my skin turned orange. I could work at home and never see the light of day. I could write an endless autobiography, trying to understand why I was the way I was. I could listen to Neil Young. These possibilities were bleak and could only lead to bad skin, loneliness, and an unhelpful madness. I looked at my bootstraps. They weren’t very encouraging. Despite this, I had a feeling. One deep in my soul. —Ted Ringer See 101-WORD FICTION Page 14

Plans to dam the Amazon will cost the Earth by Tim Radford

ven clean energy could devastate the Amazon, according to new research. A massive increase in hydropower from a series of planned Amazon dams could harm the world’s most important rainforest all the way from the slopes of the Andes to the Atlantic Ocean. Altogether, 428 dams are being built or are under consideration along the network of rivers that drain — and nourish — 6 million square kilometers (2.3 million square miles) of forest spanning nine countries. Of these, around 140 are already finished or under construction. The Amazon is home to four of the world’s 10 largest rivers. Of the 34 largest tropical rivers, 20 are in the Amazon region, and these rivers are the source of one-fifth of the planet’s fresh water. That same flow delivers the nutrient-rich sediments to habitats downstream to support the teeming life of the region, including the canopy that shelters its shrubs, plants, insects, reptiles, amphibians, mammals and birds.

Widespread benefits Those rivers exchange sediments and nourish a mosaic of wetlands, said Edgardo Latrubesse, a geographer at the University of Texas at Austin, who led a collaboration from 10 universities to assess the potential environmental damage, and report in the journal Nature.

“People say: ‘Oh another dam, another river.’ It’s not. It’s the Amazon,” Professor Latrubesse said. “We have to put the risks on the table and change the way people are looking at the problem. We are massively destroying our natural resources, and time urges us to find some rational alternatives for preservation and sustainable development.” Dams conserve water, deliver irrigation in the dry season, reduce the threat of flooding and of course provide energy for hydropower. On the other hand, they impose an environmental cost: sediments vital downstream are trapped upriver and the floods they might prevent are an integral part of the forest’s long-term stability. So dams come at a price not normally measured in economic cost-benefit analyses, but they can change a river system and damage an economy all the same. The researchers first devised what they called a Dam Environmental Vulnerability Index, assessing the vulnerability to land use change, erosion, run-off pollution, trapped sediment and other changes to river systems, to test the real value of the 140 dams already happening and the ones still under consideration. Many of the dams are in areas that yield heavy loads of sediment: the Andean Cordillera, for instance, provides more than 90 percent of the silt to the entire river system. The Marañon and Ucayali rivers are or will be home

to 104 and 47 dams respectively. Up to 80 percent of the area upstream of the lowest-planned dam will be vulnerable: dams will change river dynamics, to alter the pattern of creation of oxbow lakes and floodplain sediment storage, putting thousands of species at risk. The Madeira River drains waters rich in sediments from Bolivia and Peru and has the most diverse fish population. Two huge dams have already led to a 20 percent fall in sediment concentration in the Madeira, and 25 dams are planned further upstream.

Indivisible “The Amazon is the most important river basin on the planet. It’s a microcosm of our issues of today involving environment, energy and health of the planet,” said Victor Baker, a hydrologist at the University of Arizona, and one of the authors. “The river and its individual pieces

The Balbina dam on the Amazon: Dams can damage river systems irreparably.

cannot be separated out. That an individual dam assessment can be separated from the rest of the system isn’t scientifically valid.” And collectively, the authors close their study with a warning: “Citizens of the Amazon Basin countries will ultimately have to decide whether hydropower generation is worth the price of causing profound damage to the most diverse and productive river system in the world. “If those decisions are made within the context of a comprehensive understanding of the fluvial system as a whole, the many benefits the rivers provide to humans and the environment could be retained.” — This article originally appeared on Climate News Network

Yes, and...

If it works on stage, it works off stage — life lessons from improv by Caitlin Rockett

n improv — that’s improvisational theatre, but who says that? — there are no two stronger words used in tandem than “yes, and... .” What many disciples find in the Church of Improv is that what’s helpful on stage is even more useful off stage. You see, “yes” validates everything a person just said, while “and” says, “I’m going to help you build this dream you’re putting together on stage.” Not only is your idea good, you’ve got a helping hand in building it. It’s a phrase that embodies validation and support. We live in a world of “no, but... ,” a phrase that stifles our creativity and suggests our ideas are unworkable. How different might our world be if we supported each other more, validated our well-intentioned yet unformed ideas and nurtured them into fully shaped actions? ‘Yes, and... ’ is a core principle in improv. It’s the name of a book by a couple of executives from Second City improv comedy theater. It’s become a business mantra across vocations and for at least one student in Voodoo Comedy Playhouse’s improv classes, ‘yes, and... ’ was, in some ways, a life-saving axiom. • • • • Jane is gregarious. She laughs a lot. She makes jokes easily. She loves role-playing games and board games. But it’s taken a lot of work to unearth this expressive side of Jane. Jane suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder. (In order to better protect her, Jane is a pseudonym.) She approaches the conversation about her childhood with caution at first, calling it “really rough.” She describes her mother as controlling and manipulative, her father as physically and emotionally abusive. “There were many times where I remember feeling like I was not Boulder Weekly

going to make it,” she says. “I was pretty sure he was going to kill me on a couple of occasions, not intentionally but just beat me to death.” She describes her father engaging in emotional incest, seeking support from Jane that he should have turned to another adult for. It’s a dynamic that occurs often when an adult marriage or relationship is brittle or broken, when a parent is lonely. “He would tell me things about how my mom wasn’t putting out, and things like, ‘When you get to that age, make sure you have fun with your husband because he’s gonna want it,” she says. “It was almost like he was complaining to me as his wife about his sex life.” Jane says she felt like an object in her home, just a prop for the enjoyment of others. She found herself seeking relationships that mimsee IMPROV Page 20

IMPROV from Page 19

icked the dynamic she had with her parents — she sought the kind of love she knew. For a while she says she held onto the notion that she could mend her relationship with her family if she could just “fix” herself. “The original goal was maybe once I get my head on straight I’ll be able to talk it out,” she says. It never worked. The same patterns resurfaced. The wound reopened, salt poured in. It was only through extensive therapy that Jane realized she had to cut ties with her family, but the damage was done. She suffered from nightmares and insomnia, severe social anxiety and depersonalization disorder, a dissociative disorder that prevented Jane from recognizing herself in mirrors and photographs. More than Caitlin Rockett that, Jane couldn’t even recognize herself as human. “You lack any confidence in your life and you just feel like you’re shit and a complete failure and you can’t do it,” she says. “It made it so that I didn’t really want to go out on the weekends or when I was done with work. I didn’t like living life, and not because I didn’t want to live life, but I was just like, I’m going to fuck up living.” She wasn’t completely without a social life; a group of friends often got together to talk around a bonfire and Jane would join, but she never saw herself as part of the group. Her fear of saying or doing the wrong thing rendered her silent much of the time. She wasn’t living so much as existing. Then one day a coworker made a gentle suggestion: Jane should take improv classes. Jane dismissed the idea; her social anxiety was just too high. But her colleague wasn’t ready to let it go. “The next day he came back to my cube and said, ‘OK. I talked with a couple of people in the improv community. I asked all of them and they say improv is probably one of the best things you can do for social anxiety.’” Even if it was subconscious, Jane decided it was time to live her life. In late October 2016, she signed up for her first improv class at Voodoo in Denver. • • • • Steve Wilder, a veteran of the Los Angeles improv scene, founded Voodoo in 2011. “I can’t image my life without improv at this point,” he says. “It changed my life and gave me a new direction that I never could have foreseen. “I started to apply the concepts in improv to my life offstage and I discovered that there were a lot of things in my life that I just wasn’t happy with. Things that I didn’t want around, people who were ... what’s the word ... taking advantage, etc. So I said I’m really going to start paying attention to my life the way I pay attention to my improv. When that happened I ended up moving to Colorado and I opened an improv theater. I’ve gotten to do and see all these cool things and cool people just because I said, ‘This is where I am.’ I also have the ability and the responsibility to respond and go, ‘No things don’t always have to be this way. I have the power to change them.’” Over the years, teaching across the country and internationally, Wilder has seen people come to improv classes for endless reasons, not least of which is to just have a good time. People want help with their acting careers; comics want to flex new muscles in their stand-up routines; workaday folks want to find more flexibility in their lives; and people like Jane come to face down fears. “Improv for me is about being honest, truthful and real,” Wilder said at a Tuesday night drop-in improv class at Voodoo a couple of weeks ago. “I don’t want you to worry about being funny. It’s about having fun. It’s about being engaged. The more engaged you are, the more fun you’re gonna have.” He asked the group of about 20 what they were there for, and sure enough, people were looking to “be more present,” to shake their fear of public speaking, to hone their acting skills and to just enjoy a birthday evening with friends. Boulder Weekly

A few exercises in, it’s clear not everyone’s a novice; there were some old hands on deck, like Brian Mulligan. “There is such a generosity of spirit about the place,” Mulligan says over coffee a few days later. The New York native is also a product of LA’s improv scene but, like Wilder, he picked up and moved to Colorado in 2011 to find some respite from the “coldness” of LA. “Improv gives you a place to be heard without force,” Mulligan says. He discovered improv while taking acting classes. He was drawn to the flexibility, the immersion in the present moment. “We’re all at some level nomads,” he says. “I work by myself as a graphic designer in front of my computer all day. I think that’s what draws me to go so regularly. Whatever we do, we walk around with all these sectors of our lives: family, work, friends, financial. When people come into an improv group there has to be a softening. For the next hour and a half or two hours this is my group. We have to find a way to be as one.” There are no absolutes in improv, Mulligan says; there’s no right way to do it, no wrong way. It doesn’t have to be transformative — that puts a heavy weight on it, he says — though it is for many people. “We’re living in late-stage capitalism,” he says. “It’s kind of grim out there sometimes. Being a freelancer and having those moments of [thinking], ‘Good Lord, how am I going to keep this vehicle going,’ it gives you that playtime that releases the pressure. It gives you a sense of comfort that things will work out because they worked out in my scene last night.” • • • • Jane wasn’t sure she’d come back to improv class after that first session in October 2016. She drove home shaking. No way she was going back. Then she remembered she’d already dropped $150 on the eight-week course. Back the next week she went. Jane was three weeks in when the power of improv took hold. It was actually an exercise Jane hated — the puja circle — that tipped the scales for her. The puja circle is used in religious ceremonies by Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists and others, often to open practitioners up to otherworldly wisdom. In improv, it does kind of the same thing — it connects you to the people around you and to something altogether larger. One group forms an inner circle while a second forms an outer circle. An instructor gives a suggestion, and one circle speaks on that topic to their partner in the opposite circle. Instructor Nick Trotter was leading class the day Jane had a breakthrough. “We had an odd number of students and so Nick jumped in for it,” she says. “I remember us looking down and I remember hearing Nick say, ‘This time when you look up, the people on the inside’ — which I was — ‘you are going to talk to the people on the outside about your parents.’ As soon as I make eye contact with Nick I said, ‘My parents abused me to the point of PTSD,’ and he just stopped me right there; the people who are listening aren’t supposed to be saying a thing. He just stopped me and goes, ‘Make something up ... be honest to your story,’ and I made up this awesome story about the family I would have had if I dreamed up my childhood. He kept eye contact even though I’m shaking. He smiled and nodded through the whole thing. Just seeing that sort of support from the teacher, I started recognizing it from the students. I realized I laid a bombshell on the teacher and he didn’t freak out, he didn’t get scared, he wasn’t like, ‘Oh, damaged goods.’ He told me after class, ‘I just want you to know you’re in a good spot for this.’” Jane is now in level four improv classes at Voodoo. She says she’s learned who to trust in her life — her family were “no, but...” people, while her bonfire friends consistently supported Jane with various forms of “yes, and...” — and she’s overcome a lifelong stutter. Now when she’s somewhere like the bookstore, in need of assistance, she sets a scene in her head like she would at improv class. Scene: bookstore. Character: a customer. Scene partner: a clerk at the store. Her scene set, Jane lets the conversation flow, free of fear. On the last day of her level one class, her instructor asked people to share what they liked the most about the course. Jane’s answer was deceptively simple. “All I said to them was, ‘I don’t stutter anymore.’ I said, ‘Thank you for being a part of this healing,’” she says. “The underlying thought was to know that you won’t be smacked when you talk, to know that you have a voice and you deserve to be heard — for someone who grew up hearing that children are better seen, not heard, you’re the object in this family, Jane you don’t get a voice — to know that these words that come from my mouth have meaning to other people, they’re not just white noise, to learn that was unbelievable.” Boulder Weekly

How he listens

For Harry Tuft, it’s a critical question by Sarah Haas

THURSDAY JULY 6 10:00 AM

DYNAMIC EARTH 2:00 PM

DREAM TO FLY 7:00 PM

BLACK HOLES: THE OTHER SIDE OF INFINITY 8:30 PM

hen I get to Harry Tuft’s condo, one among dozens of identical blue boxes, I found the door wide open. Sheepishly, I walk inside to find Tuft out on the back balcony, surveying the carports from his southeast Denver tower. He greets me with a warm hello, like I’ve known him for years, and says I’m free to help myself to whatever was in the fridge as he pours himself a cup of espresso. The inside of his condo is clean and sparse — there’s just enough furniture and more than enough musical instruments — a keyboard in the corner and guitars, basses and cases tucked into every possible cranny. We get to talking about nothing in particular, waiting for his bandmates to arrive. One-by-one they let themselves in, just like I did but with noticeably less trepidation. First enters Jack Stanesco. He first met Tuft at his store, the Denver Folklore Center, when it Boulder Weekly

opened its doors back in 1962. Next is Mag Hayden, who wandered into the Center two years later only to stay and work there for the next few decades. Last to arrive is fiddle and mandolin player Ron Jones, whose relationship with Tuft seems to predate memory itself. Immediately they start unzipping the instruments from their cases while making small talk — going over logistics and traffic and scheduling. They don’t seem to be in any kind of rush, even though this is their first rehearsal

covering 25 songs in preparation for a show that is just two weeks away. But even if they don’t get paid for the music they play, these are pros. They know the first downbeat will come and when it finally does, Tuft looks up at me with a smile of pure glee on his face — the kind I’ve only seen on the face of someone in love. A lot can be said about the man behind that smile. Harry Tuft is the founder of the Denver Folklore Center, progenitor of Swallow Hill music and has promoted some of the most legendary shows in Denver during its hippie heyday, bringing the likes of Joan Baez, Taj Mahal and even Bob Dylan himself to the city. You can say all that about Tuft, but it would be enough to say that he is simply a guy who loves music, thinks it endlessly beautiful and knows no other way to live than to share music with his community. Rarely does he get distracted by grandiosity, staying resolute in his quest to make folk music — plain, simple and humble — with an authenticity that has attracted the most famous of bards like moths to a flame.

They are happy playing these songs together, so much so they do it freely and by humble means. Nevertheless, Tuft directs the rehearsal with hawk-like command, interrupting to slow tempos and pose questions about whether Stanesco should sing a bit lower or whether Jones should pluck at his strings. Watching Tuft direct I was reminded of something he’d said when I first arrived that afternoon, an in-between sort of question that I brushed aside but that was nonetheless startling in its simplicity: “How do you listen?” It’s the kind of question that doesn’t come with rote answers, the kind that lies beyond conditioning and being polite, the kind that asks you to scan your own mind in search of something, anything, sincere. It’s the kind of question Tuft isn’t afraid to ask and the kind that he knows better than to try to answer. For Tuft, music, or life for that matter, has never been about what you listen to, or what you play, or how famous you get. “For me,” he says, “making good music is about how you pay attention as the transitory becomes enduring, however that is accomplished.” Boulder Weekly

‘Carmen’ and ‘Così’ highlight Central City Opera’s summer season For 2017, all performances will be in Central City by Peter Alexander

C arts & cultu r e

entral City Opera (CCO) is offering two operatic mainstays in their historic 1878 opera house this summer, Bizet’s Carmen ( July 8–Aug. 6) and Mozart’s Così fan tutte ( July 15–Aug. 4). Carmen and Così are joined on the Central City season by limited performances of three short operas presented in smaller venues in Central City ( July 26–Aug. 4): The Burning Fiery Furnace by Benjamin Britten, The Cabildo by Amy Beach, and Gallantry by Douglas Moore. Though little known, these works are an important part of CCO’s long-term goal. “We’re doing this to build new audiences,” Pat Pearce, CCO’s artistic director, says. “Come up and see one of these one-acts! You’re out in an hour, and it’s in English.” After several years of trying different plans to reach new audiences — musical comedies performed in Denver, taking shows on the road — Pearce and CCO have settled on the plan of two mainstage productions, plus two or three short works, all in Central City. So far it seems to be working. “They all sell out when we do them,” Pearce says of the one-act operas. “We went to different places, but we decided that part of our identity is the experience of being [in Central City]. Making that experience as good as we can is where we focused the last couple of years.” This year’s one-acts offer three very different experiences. The Burning Fiery Furnace, based on the biblical story of King Nebuchadnezzar and three Israelites who are rescued by an angel, completes Central City’s survey of Britten’s three church parables. Tenor Billy Bruley, who made a powerful impression in Prodigal Son two years ago, returns to take the leading role. Beach’s Cabildo, written in 1932, is an operatic Pirates of the Caribbean before Boulder Weekly

RAMAYA & THE TROUBADOURS the fact. It is set in New Orleans during the war of 1812 and features the pirate Jean Lafitte. “The music is absolutely gorgeous,” Pearce says. “The reason it’s never done is there’s no published score. We had to get permission from the Beach family [to create] a score.” Gallantry is by Douglas Moore, composer of CCO’s signature work, The Ballad of Baby Doe. A rollicking comedy, Gallantry is “a crazy little comedy about soap operas,” Pearce says. “It’s tons of fun!” The two mainstage productions appear to be worlds apart. Carmen is a gritty story about a decent man destroyed by his fatal passion for an untamed Gypsy, Così fan tutte an artificial semi-comedy about two pairs of lovers. But beneath the surface, both works explore the same emotions: love, jealousy, anger. Carmen returns to Central City with the same set that was used in 2011, but a new cast and director. Former Central City apprentice and Met auditions winner Emily Pulley will make her role debut as Carmen. Michael Mayes, who created a sensation in the title role of Dead Man Walking in 2014, will be Escamillo, and Adriano Graziani will make his first CCO appearance as Don José. Carmen is not a hard sell, which is why Central City has scheduled more than a dozen performances. It is filled with gorgeous and familiar music. It tells a believable story of a “nice boy” fascinated by a dangerous woman. And it has one of the most dramatic endings in all of opera, with Don José and Carmen facing death while the offstage

crowd celebrates Escamillo’s triumph in the bullring. Other than gorgeous music, Così has none of those advantages. The story is scarcely believable: two pair of lovers are convinced of each others’ perfection. In response to a bet, the boys dress up as “Albanians” and, unrecognized, manage to seduce each others’ fiancées. The cast features CCO debutantes Hailey Clark, Megan Marino, Matthew Plenk and David Adam Moore. Tamara Gura returns as Dorabella, and Central City veteran Patrick Carfizzi returns as Don Alfonso. The ridiculous plot is a potent framework for the powerful emotions of Mozart’s music. “Mozart humanizes these characters,” music director John Baril says. “The things these young people are feeling are universal. The music, [and] what the characters are going through will seem serious.” The key to understanding the opera, Pearce and Baril believe, is in its subtitle, “The School for Lovers.” In other words, Don Alfonso, the cynical “philosopher” who manipulates the story, is teaching the lovers to be realistic about one another. To emphasize that point, CCO’s production is placed in a boarding school, making it clear just how young and inexperienced the lovers are. But as always the music is key. And Così, the last of Mozart’s great operas with librettist Lorenzo daPonte, has some of the composer’s greatest music. As Baril says, “The music is so perfect that if I do what it asks of me, I don’t have to do anything other than that.”

Events

Denver’s underrepresented black artist community first got together to showcase their work and culture in 1986. Ever since, the Colorado Black Arts Festival has grown rapidly, celebrating the 31st edition of the festival the weekend of July 7. The festival will be filled with activities including children’s tie-dye and mud cloth activities, a parade, a performing arts stage, health screenings and a film pavilion. Old favorites include scavenger hunts, community murals, a visual arts pavilion and a car show. With the overall goal of providing the community with stimuli centered around black art and culture, the festival brings the Denver community together in a celebration of diversity and unity. Come join the Denver community for a weekend-long celebration of black music, dance, art and food.

On July 7, Dickens Opera House will feature ska and reggae tunes from two big-name Colorado bands. Judge Roughneck and Highway 50 come together for an unforgettable night of positive vibes. Judge Roughneck has been a Colorado ska staple for years, playing at Red Rocks Reggae on the Rocks Festival more than 10 times. Originally formed in 1995, Judge Roughneck has come a long way, consistently touring and adding fresh music to its catalog. The band’s latest release, Pick You Up, is evidence that the high energy and unique stylings of Judge Roughneck’s music are here to stay. Al Laughlin put together Highway 50 in the early ’90s, eventually sharing the stage with bands such as Phish and Dave Matthew’s Band. The band’s latest album, 2014’s The Violet Project, showcases the musical prowess of Laughlin along with his former bandmates from The Samples. Tickets $11.

Porcupine

by Kelly Madigan You think we are the pointed argument, the man drunk at the party showing off his gun collection, the bed of nettles.

America’s Best Microbrew Pub

What we really are is hidden from you: girl weeping in the closet among her stepfather’s boots; tuft of rabbit fur caught in barbed wire; body of the baby in the landfill; boy with the shy mouth playing his guitar at the picnic table, out in the dirt yard. We slide into this world benign and pliable, quills pressed down smooth over back and tail. Only one hour here stiffens the barbs into thousands of quick retorts. Everything this wellguarded remembers being soft once. Kelly Madigan lives in Nebraska and this poem is from her book, The Edge of Known Things, from Stephen F. Austin University Press. Did you think that you were all that different from a porcupine? Well, poetry reaches for and seizes upon connections, and here’s an example of that. — Ted Kooser, U.S. Poet Laureate We do not accept unsolicited submissions.

‘Buster’s Mal Heart’ dredges up dark demons

While Supplies Last

by Michael J. Casey

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference. —Robert Frost

MEDICAL SIDE Mal Heart. July 9-11, The Boedecker Theater, The Dairy Arts Center, 2590 Walnut St., Boulder, 303-440-7825, thedairy.org

uster (Rami Malek) just looks like he was born tired. Stuck working nights at a last-option hotel near the airport, he and his wife, Marty (Kate Lyn Sheil), are living with her mother while trying to save money to run off into the woods of Montana. There they will build a house and raise their daughter free from the trappings of society. Though Marty is a kind and caring mother, she no longer looks at her husband and his plan with optimism. Everyone’s load is heavy, but Buster’s seems a little heavier. Or maybe it’s not. Maybe all of this is just a fever dream. As far as the audience is concerned, Buster isn’t even his real name. It’s a moniker given to him after one too many crazy phone calls to a radio station. Or maybe “Buster” is one of the two figures stranded in the boat we glimpse during the movie’s opening credits. There’s also the image of a clean-shaven Buster waking up in a remote and snowy cave; or Buster, bearded and unkempt, wandering through a house that is definitely not his. In every shot, Buster’s eyes are puffy and red. Either he has just woken up or desperately needs to go to sleep. Written and directed by Colorado native Sarah Adina Smith, Buster’s Mal Heart draws the audience in with mystery and confounds them with unreliable narrators and non-linear storytelling. Her first feature, The Midnight Swim, dabbled in similar territory, but her sophomore feature is more assured, more mature. Buster’s Mal Heart is a dark movie with plenty on its mind and Smith hacks through this labyrinthine story to find the broken heart in the middle of this madness. Buster’s Mal Heart begins to settle into a groove when a man who claims to be “the last free man on the planet” (DJ Qualls) shows up and starts spouting conspiracies about how people are slaves to the machine. Like any late-night drug and alcohol-fueled discussion, the already susceptible Buster becomes intoxicated by the man’s knowledge and the two of them hatch a scheme to steal jewelry from hotel guests. What bearing does this companionship have on the movie’s narrative? Not a lot and everything at the same time. Just as Buster is unsure of the Last Free Man, we are unsure of Buster. What are we to make of anything when we have no solid grounding to stand upon? Much like Robert Frost’s unnamed narrator in “The Road Not Taken,” Buster has a choice to make and a road to take. The audience watching Buster’s Mal Heart must do the same. Settling on one path over the other will always lead to some level of regret. The hope is not to regret it, but live side-by-side with the consequences. Besides, it doesn’t really matter what road you take to get there, everything will eventually end in death. Boulder Weekly

Roasted Plum and Dark Chocolate Popsicle

Le Pops 1048 Pearl St., Suite 107, Boulder, lepopsboulder.com

All photos by Matt Cortina

Za Jiang Mian

Zoe Ma Ma 2010 10th St., Boulder, zoemama.com

oe Ma Ma continues to be casually great. Their signature za jiang ma is an exercise in developing flavor out of a few simple ingredients. Egg noodles, thick and sweet, are topped with savory chunks of ground pork, which are spiced with peppers and baking spices. Julienned carrots, cucumbers and green onion provide texture to the dish and the house chili sauce is primo. A steamed bun (bao), chewy and indulgent, packed with that spiced pork makes a good accoutrement. No matter how much of this you eat, you’ll want more. $7

he trendiest food in Boulder right now is... popsicles. But not just any popsicles. The fresh flavor and topping-applicable cream and ice pops at Pearl Street’s Le Pops bring in droves of people every day. Unable to avoid it on a hot day, we stopped in for a roasted plum cream popsicle, made with red plums, whole milk, cream, eggs, cane sugar and vanilla extract. It’s dipped in dark chocolate. The popsicle is no doubt refreshing, and the roasted plum flavor is tart and fruity, more like raspberry. The dark chocolate is a superb add-on, thin and creamy, yet punchy and slightly bitter. $4.50

Moxie Bread Co. 641 Main St., Louisville, moxiebreadco.com

ans of bagels and lox will want to try its fancy older brother, the Moxie Bread Co.’s tartine. A hearty slice of dark rye, thick and dry though not chalky or bulky, is topped with fresh lox, sprigs of dill, briney and big capers, pepitas, garlic oil, cucumber, cream cheese and a lemon. The lox is mild and piled high, which is good because it blends in with the dank dill, explosive capers and bright lemon. It’s also good because sometimes you get lox so loxy it’s only fit for dolphins and basement creatures. The tartine is dense not only in flavor, but in substantiality, as you’ll be eating it about 10 minutes longer than you thought you would, and you’ll be able to skip the next meal. $8

his delightful, and fresh, take on the baked oyster dish was inspired by a recipe from a member of the Boulder community. Rappahannock River oysters — girthy, silky and smacking of the sweet ocean — are buried in a chile, beer and kale queso, local goat cheese, roasted green chiles and cracker dust. The bite is unctuous and gooey, with so much goodness going on, the tongue takes a while to parse it all out if you care to. If you don’t, it’s easy to ravage several of these in a row without a second thought. Alongside a crisp white wine, it’s a unique and crowd-pleasing appetizer.

9:05 a.m.: Cinnamon Cap Mushrooms

SEASON

omantics wax poetic about slowly strolling through farmers’ markets for hours squeezing this tomato and smelling that loaf. In reality sometimes you need to skip the dumplings and buy the week’s groceries. I went to the Boulder County Farmers Market July 1 to see how much I could find about what’s interesting, fresh and local. Besides fava beans that could be cooked whole on the grill or smoked, and a ballshaped zucchini that could be stuffed and roasted, here’s what I found in 60 minutes.

Market stalwart Hazel Dell Mushrooms offered diverse fresh fungi and the small bunched variety called Cinnamon Cap (or Chestnut) caught my eye. The name refers to color, not taste. Cut the central stalk away on the bunch and leave the stems attached to the caps. Owner Jim Harrison recommended sautéing them simply in a good vegetable oil — try toasted sesame seed oil, and serve as a side dish. “The nice thing with these is that you can cook them and they’ll hold their shape and crunchiness,” he said.

What I learned about vegetables and life

9:30 a.m.: Mizugula It started out as a mistake that became very popular. About seven years ago, seed from two greens, mizuna and arugula, were mixed together at Oxford Farms. The mix was planted and the resulting combination allows the spice of the arugula to balance mizuna’s mild sweetness. Mizugula was a two-leaf mixture that became so popular that regulars asked for the “mistake” to be repeated and local eateries including Blackbelly Market and Lucky Pie order it regularly. The greens can be served with a vinaigrette or a warm bacon dressing.

9:38 a.m.: Hinona Kabu Turnips

At the Black Cat Farm booth there were purplish, finger-thick vegetables that looked like baby turnips but tasted wonderfully mustard-y like a radish. Sliced fresh they add a definite brightness to salads. Some folks like to dip them in salt and eat them raw. I am not among them.

in one hour at the Market

9:15 a.m.: Purple Scallions At the Ollin Farms booth the purple scallions stood out like a tasty sore thumb. The folks behind the vegetables suggested grilling the whole scallions after slicing the bulb in half. The sugar in the onion will come out and sweeten the strong-flavored onions. Serve them with grilled chicken

Boulder Weekly

with a fresh lime spritz. Don’t throw out the green tops. Chop them up and add to salsa or salads.

9:21 a.m. Gold Bar Apricots Skip the peaches for now and grab the Colorado apricots while you can. Despite a spring frost, Paonia’s First Fruits stand has a small supply of these sweet, golden apricots. The folks behind the counter said that they only get a good crop in one out of five years. The fruit is great fresh with a ripe cheese or sliced into a true rarity: fresh apricot pie.

9:45 a.m. Rainbow Chard Crayon-colored rainbow chard at the Pastures of Plenty booth rated as the best looking good-for-you vegetable of the week. Owner/chef Lyle Davis suggested chopping the leaves and adding them raw to a letsee NIBBLES Page 44

tuce salad. As a side dish he would chop the stalks, sauté them in a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil, garlic and lemon juice and add the leaves at the very end.

9:55 a.m. Fennel Aspen Moon Farm displayed some beautiful whole fennel bulbs with the wispy fennel leaves attached. Trim and thinslice the bulb and roast them for at least 30 minutes or until they get soft, brown and caramelized, ideal as a side dish with grilled fish or pork chops. The licorice-y greens can be minced and added to salads or mixed with nonfat yogurt to make a tzatziki-like dip.

Taste of the Week

The unassuming exterior of Jin Chan Zhang, 2835 28th St., hides a bastion of authentic Chinese cuisine, which is why I came back with my friend Laura Bloom, who may be the most seasoned and adventurous foodie I’ve ever met. She ignored the regular menu and pointed to the chalkboard specials written only in Chinese characters. “What’s that one?” she said. We were told that it wasn’t translated because it wasn’t something we would like. Right. Laura persisted. She insisted that she eats everything. She wasn’t bragging. That’s how we got to taste an exceptional braised ham hock with fatty fall-apart meat in a sweet soy glaze with steamed rice and bok choy that any pork lover would appreciate.

Words to Chew On “I know the cracking sound it makes when a knife enters the end (of a watermelon). I can see the halves fall apart and display the rich red meat and the black seeds, and the heart standing up, a luxury fit for the elect.” — Mark Twain John Lehndorff hosts Radio Nibbles at 8:25 a.m. Thursdays on KGNU, 88.5 FM.

TABLE

here’s a lot of moments where you’re navigating so many different equations,” says River and Woods chef and co-owner Daniel Asher of the challenges of working 15-hour days in a restaurant. “Then someone walks up and asks a question that’s been asked five times, and it’s asked again, and in your mind you’re kind of having this quiet, little meltdown where you’re saying to yourself, ‘Are you fucking kidding me?’ But you can’t say that. You just have to take a deep breath and say, ‘OK, I totally thought we covered this but let me go through this with you again.’”

The Zen of Daniel Asher

How the man behind Root Down, Linger and now Boulder’s River and Woods finds peace in the restaurant business by Matt Cortina

Asher and I talk in the backyard of his restaurant, which occupies the building that formerly held John’s Restaurant on Pearl Street for more than 30 years. Everything in the space seems designed to effect a certain atmosphere — holes carved into a plywood deck to allow trees to grow through, tree bark-lined tables, nifty leather waiter’s notebooks, a hay couch and a small, silver Airstream camper turned into an outdoor bar. It’s a sanctuary back here, and the only thing that fills up the space more than the steady stream of Happy Hour diners is Asher himself, ebullient, talking eagerly and laughing loudly. Asher says when they were designing the space, he thought a splash of color would work along one of the walls. The designer told Asher, “Yeah, that would work,” but his decorating M.O. was to take away until he could take away no more. Asher says he recently came to this same belief in minimalism in the kitchen. “For a while, I was fixated on a lot of finishing garnishes and a lot of plate touches and, ‘Oh, now they’ll get a pop of this, and then their palate will zip over here, and I’m going to finish it with a little bit of fermented chili paste so then this will happen, and then, oh, it needs a little bit of sweet so I’ll drizzle a little bit of local clover honey.’ I think I went through this process where I really wanted there to be this very profound palate experience. ... And then I reached a point where you get in an ingredient that has such it’s own dramatic identity that you don’t want to disrespect it with your 46 July 6 , 2017

Boulder Weekly

version of what its best self can be. I’m at that point now where I’m simplifying, I’m getting into more basic elements of cooking,” Asher says. Long gone are the days when chefs feel entitled to invoke authoritarian control over both the kitchen and the guests. Food is becoming more collaborative, Asher says, which is why he implemented a community-based aspect to his menu. About one-third of all the dishes served at River and Woods are borrowed from members of the community who submitted recipes for consideration. However, a boom in the last decade of food media — whether it’s the Food Network or Instagram accounts — has glamorized an industry that can be decidedly unglamorous, Asher says, separating the chef from that sense of community. “I remember when I started cooking I was 14, and people would say, ‘Why are you working in a kitchen? Why are you peeling potatoes and washing dishes? What is that about?’ Well, I love it. I love being around food. I love being in a kitchen. There was no glory in it. ... It was just something that you did until you figured out what you were really going to do. “Then it became like, ‘Oh, you’re a chef. What kind of cuisine do you specialize in?’... It just suddenly became a thing. “I think we lost some of the basic essence of being in service to people. It’s a very humble, sometimes lonely, thing to be doing. The hours are extremely long, the anxiety and stress is extremely high, the compensation is not awesome. It’s just sometimes extremely brutal, and it can be very challenging to find your center within that chaos.” Asher relies on reading, writing and meditating to center himself. He reads spiritual texts in the Buddhist, Hindu and mystic traditions, as well as self-help, habits-of-highly-successful-individual books. There’s breathing exercises he does in moments of stress, and mantras that he returns to often. “You have to see there’s a higher purpose in serving people, and if you truly take care of others, then that nourishment inevitably comes back to you,” he says. “It’s this beautiful, energetic rhythm of life that I have endless faith in and has served me very well. I think if you keep that perspective of making sure those around you are full, you won’t necessarily be empty.” Asher cautions that he has to be self-sustaining “because there are long stretches of time when no one is keeping you full, and you have to keep yourself full.” In order to stay full, he relies on his family and his Boulder Weekly

ability to provide for them. Too, he says, the knowledge that the next day presents more opportunities to nourish people drives him to take on the next 15-hour day. It all sounds good, right? The minimalism, breathing, the giving and taking from the well, the virtue of hospitality — the Zen of Daniel Asher? But that doesn’t mean it’s easy. In the food industry it’s always hard to please everyone and the great ones would never try. I ask Asher about a recent food review of River and Woods in which

the reviewer described Asher as having “culinary OCD” and criticized his brunch pancakes. Asher, though noting that it was “kind of mean,” said he thought the review was hilarious. “It’s like dude, [in the pancakes] there’s like heirloom blue corneal from Motherlove Farm in Fort Collins that I get freshly milled from Grateful Bread. There’s organic steelcut oats. There’s organic poppy seeds, sesame seeds, there’s local buttermilk, local chai from Sherpa. And, I mean, there’s so many great things happen-

ing in those pancakes and he just said they’re ‘oversized manhole covers they’re calling pancakes.’” He admits that the reviewer’s beef could’ve been personal, though he says he never met him. “I’d much rather he ended the review saying, River and Woods is pretty cool, I think Daniel Asher is a dick. I give him one and a half stars, I give the restaurant three.” Oh well, in the world of chef Daniel Asher tomorrow is another day — another 15-hour day of keeping the rest of us full and content.

ON TAP: U Turn BBQ.

599 Crossing Drive, Lafayette, 303-933-6033. uturnbbq.com

Tour de brew: U Turn BBQ Beer and barbecue in perfect harmony by Michael J. Casey

ood and beer, just like peanut butter and chocolate, taste great together. Pairing the two certainly isn’t rocket science but even the most dedicated brewpubs end up favoring one over the other. These places serve great beer and great food, but often one leads while the other follows. Though your memories of the place may be favorable, there is usually a clear division between what you ate and what you drank. That’s something U Turn BBQ in Lafayette is looking to change. Here, you can get heaping platters of pulled pork, brisket and smoked sausages with sides of baked beans, potato salad and Susan France more, and you can wash it all down with a tall glass of U Turn’s special brews. They make everything inhouse daily from scratch, including the beer. Opened by father/ sons Tim, Weston and Shem Trapp earlier this year, U Turn BBQ took over the large and inviting space off U.S. 287 and W. Baseline Road that was formerly a Burger King. Along with the guts of the building, the Trapps inherited a drivethru window with their purchase. The Trapps decided to keep the drivethru operational, selling food and brew out the window for people choosing to picnic or dine at home. State law dictates that a restaurant can’t sell six-packs unless they brew it on-site so the Trapps recruited Alex Violette, former head brewer for Upslope, to craft a couple of tasty beverages to pair with U Turn’s made-to-order platters. The Dark, an American-style stout, weighs in at 5.9 percent alcohol by volume. Dark and effervescent in the glass, Dark looks a lot like a mouth-watering glass of Coca-Cola. One sniff of the nose and the roasted malt is a dead giveaway, this is a stout but a much more refreshing and thirst-quenching stout than you might expect. U Turn’s Dark has a simplicity that makes it the ideal beer for barbecue. There are no adjuncts, nuances or ingredients to get in the way of sweet malt pairing beautifully with salty meat. The same goes for Light (5 percent), U Turn’s Kölsch made with a specialty yeast strand from Germany. Light and fizzy, this beer cuts through any heat and any smoke with an extremely crisp finish. Light brightens up the palate and clears the way for another bite of savory sausage. If you thought the Dark was surprisingly refreshing, wait until you try this. Light and Dark, no need to pick favorites here; they’re both stellar. It’s a trend that is sure to continue with U Turn’s latest release, an IPA just in time for the sweltering heat of July. Thankfully, when it comes to beer, three is never a crowd. Boulder Weekly

ARIES

MARCH 21-APRIL 19: Unless you were raised by a pack

of feral raccoons or a fundamentalist cult, now is a perfect time to dive in to your second childhood. Is there a toy you wanted as a kid but never got? Buy it for yourself now! What were the delicious foods you craved back then? Eat them! Where were the special places you loved? Go there, or to spots that remind you of them. Who were the people you were excited to be with? Talk with them. Actions like these will get you geared up for a full-scale immersion in innocent eagerness. And that would be just the right medicine for your soul.

TAURUS

APRIL 20-MAY 20: What I wish for you, Taurus, is

toasted ice cream and secrets in plain sight and a sacred twist of humorous purity. I would love for you to experience a powerful surrender and a calm climax and a sweeping vision of a small but pithy clue. I very much hope that you will get to take a big trip to an intimate turning point that’s not too far away. I pray you will find or create a barrier that draws people together instead of keeping them apart.

GEMINI

MAY 21-JUNE 20: In Dr. Seuss’s book, Horton Hatches

an Egg, an elephant assumes the duty of sitting on a bird’s egg, committed to keeping it warm until hatching time. The nest is located high in a tree, which makes the undertaking even more incongruous. By the climax of the tale, Horton has had to persist in his loyal service through a number of challenges. But all ends well, and there’s an added bonus: The creature that’s born is miraculously part-bird, part-elephant. I see similarities between this story and your life right now, Gemini. The duty you’re carrying out doesn’t come naturally, and you’re not even sure you’re doing it right. But if you keep at it till it’s completed, you’ll earn a surprising reward.

CANCER

JUNE 21-JULY 22: It’s prime time for you to break

through any inhibitions you might have about accessing and expressing your passion. To help you in this righteous cause, I’ve assembled a batch of words you should be ready to use with frequency and sweet abandon. Consider writing at least part of this list on your forearm with a felt-tip pen every morning so it’s always close at hand: enamored, piqued, enchanted, stirred, roused, enthused, delighted, animated, elevated, thrilled, captivated, turned-on, enthralled, exuberant, fired up, awakened.

LEO

JULY 23-AUG. 22: Matt Groening, creator of the car-

toon series The Simpsons, says that a great turning point in his early years came when his Scoutmaster told him he was the worst Boy Scout in history. While this might have demoralized other teenagers, it energized Groening. “Well, somebody’s got to be the worst,” he triumphantly told the Scoutmaster. And then, “instead of the earth opening up and swallowing me, instead of the flames of hell fire licking at my knees — nothing happened. And I was free.” I suspect you may soon be blessed with a comparable liberation, Leo. Maybe you’ll be released from having to live up to an expectation you shouldn’t even live up to. Or maybe you’ll be criticized in a way that will motivate your drive for excellence for years to come.

VIRGO

AUG. 23-SEPT. 22: Nineteen of my readers who work

in the advertising industry signed a petition requesting that I stop badmouthing their field. “Without advertising,” they testified, “life itself would be impossible.” In response, I agreed to attend their re-education seminar. There, under their tutelage, I came to acknowledge that everything we do can be construed as a kind of advertising. Each of us is engaged in a mostly unconscious campaign to promote our unique way of looking at and being in the world. Realizing the truth, I now feel no reservations about urging you Virgos to take advantage of the current astrological omens. They suggest that you can and should be aggressive and ingenious about marketing yourself, your ideas and your products.

LIBRA

SEPT. 23-OCT. 22: In 2003, the American Film Institute announced the creation of a new prize to honor acting talent. Dubbed the Charlton Heston Award, it was designed to be handed out periodically to luminaries who have distinguished themselves over the course of long careers. The first recipient of the award was, oddly enough, Charlton Heston himself, born under the sign of Libra. I hope you’re inspired by this story to wipe away any false modesty you might be suffering from. The astrological omens suggest it’s a favorable moment to create a big new award named after you and bestow it upon yourself. As part of the festivities, tell yourself about what makes you special, amazing and valuable.

SCORPIO

OCT. 23-NOV. 21: Here’s your riddle: What unscratchable itch drives you half-crazy? But you’re secretly glad it drives you half-crazy, because you know your half-craziness will eventually lead you to an experience or resource that will relieve the itch. Here’s your prophecy: Sometime soon, scratching the unscratchable itch will lead you to the experience or resource that will finally relieve the itch. Here’s your homework: Prepare yourself emotionally to fully receive and welcome the new experience or resource. Make sure you’re not so addicted to scratching the unscratchable itch that you fail to take advantage of the healing it’s bringing you.

SAGITTARIUS

NOV. 22-DEC. 21: The best way to go forward is to go backward; the path to the bright future requires a shadowy regression. Put another way, you should return to the roots of a triumph in order to find a hidden flaw that might eventually threaten to undo your success. Correct that flaw now and you’ll make it unnecessary for karmic repercussions to undermine you later. But please don’t get all solemn-faced and anxious about this assignment. Approach it with humorous self-correction and you’ll ensure that all goes well.

CAPRICORN

DEC. 22-JAN. 19: Are you familiar with the psychological concepts of anima and animus? You’re in the midst of being intoxicated by one of those creatures from inner space. Though you may not be fully conscious of it, you women are experiencing a mystical marriage with an imaginal character that personifies all that’s masculine in your psyche. You men are going through the analogous process with a female figure within you. I believe this is true no matter what your sexual orientation is. While this awesome psychological event may be fun, educational, and even ecstatic, it could also be confusing to your relationships with real people. Don’t expect them to act like or live up to the very real fantasy you’re communing with.

AQUARIUS

JAN. 20-FEB. 18: As a recovering save-the-world addict, I have felt compassionate skepticism towards my fellow junkies who are still in the throes of their obsession. But recently I’ve discovered that just as a small minority of alcoholics can safely take a drink now and then, so can a few save-the-world-aholics actually save the world a little bit at a time without getting strungout. With that as a disclaimer, Aquarius, I’m letting you know that the cosmos has authorized you to pursue your own brand of fanatical idealism in the coming weeks. To keep yourself honest, make fun of your zealotry every now and then.

PISCES

FEB. 19-MARCH 20: The potential breakthrough I

foresee for you is a rare species of joy. It’s a gritty, hardearned pleasure that will spawn beautiful questions you’ll be glad to have awakened. It’s a surprising departure from your usual approach to feeling good that will expand your understanding of what happiness means. Here’s one way to ensure that it will visit you in all of its glory: Situate yourself between the fabulous contradictions in your life and say, “Squeeze me, tease me, please me.”

Dear Dan: I’m a 29-year-old straight woman facing a dilemma. I dated this guy about a year ago, and in many ways he was exactly the guy I was looking for. The main hitch was sexual. Our sex was good, but he had a fetish where he wanted me to sleep with other guys. Basically, he gets off on a girl being a “slut.” He was also into threesomes or swapping with another couple. I experimented with all of that for a few months, and in a way I © Rachel Robinson had fun with it, but I finally realized that this lifestyle is not for me. I want a more traditional, monogamous relationship. I broke it off with him. We reconnected recently, and he wants to get back together. He says that he wants to be with me, even if it means a more traditional sex life. I’m interested, but suspicious. If he decides to forego his fetish in order to be with me, can he ever feel truly fulfilled with our sex life? I don’t want to be with someone I can’t completely satisfy. I also worry that down the road he might change his mind and try to convince me to experiment with non-monogamy again, which would make me feel pressured. I’m looking for someone to settle

down with, and I’m scared to waste more time on this guy, even though in many ways he’s a great fit. Do you think it’s possible for us to be happy together in a traditional arrangement when deep down he wants more? —Interested Despite Kink Dear IDK: Every partnered person on earth is with someone they “can’t completely satisfy.” No one person can be all things to another person — sexually or in any other way. So don’t waste too much time stressing out about that. That said, IDK, this guy gets off when girls — his girl in particular — are “sluts.” That doesn’t mean he can’t/ won’t/doesn’t get off when you’re not being slutty. (In this situation, “being slutty” refers to you sleeping with other people, which is only subjectively slutty.) He likes it when you’re a slut, but I

bet he also likes it when you ___, ___, or ___. (I don’t know your sex life. Fill in the blanks.) Are you focusing too much on one of the things he’s into (you fucking other people) and not enough on all the other things he’s into (things like ___, ___, and ___)? If those other things are enough for him to have a great sex life with you without getting to enjoy this particular kink, you can make this work. In other words, IDK: If giving up his hotwife/cuckold fantasies is the price of admission he’s willing to pay to be with you, maybe you should let him pay that price. If being with someone who fantasizes about sexual scenarios you would rather not participate in (and who may be fantasizing about them while you’re having sex) is the price of admission you’re willing to pay to be with him, maybe you should pay that price. Another maybe: Are there accommodations that would allow him to have his fetish/fantasies without having to stifle them and allow you to have your

monogamous commitment? No fucking other guys, but sometimes sharing stories of past exploits? Or making up dirty stories you can share while you’re fucking? Kinky people sometimes place a few of their kinks on the shelf for years, decades, or all their lives because they love their partner but their partner doesn’t love their proclivity for ball-busting/piss-pigging/whatever-evering. And, yes, sometimes a person says they’re willing to let go of a kink and then changes their mind and starts pressuring their partner years or decades later — often when it’s much harder for the non-kinky partner to end things, i.e., after marrying, having kids, etc., which renders the pressure coercive and corrosive. Another thing that sometimes happens: People who never thought they’d be into X and married someone with the understanding that X was forever off the table suddenly find themselves curious about X and wanting to give X a try years or decades later. Who we are and what we want at 39 or 49 can look very different than who we were and what we wanted at 29.

EEDBETWEENTHELINES

by Sarah Haas

Call me converted

ust about as soon as microdosing became trendy, I got skeptical. About a year ago I spent back-to-back weekends coastto-coast, first in San Francisco then in New York. I was traveling for work — to learn about psychedelic science in the West and then global drug policy in the East — but more than the main events, I looked forward to the side shows, the after parties and what secrets the cities held during the witching hours. A Coloradan, high on legal cannabis, I wanted to know what other drug cultures held and what mysteries they could unlock. These cities, among the most progressive and populous in the country, have spawned a drug trend or two in their days and housed the countercultures that came with it. I wanted to know what was happening now, in this bizarre moment of the dawn of a post-prohibition world. At first I was ecstatic — everybody wanted to talk about LSD and I thought I’d stumbled on the ground-level goings on of a new generation of psychonauts. Rather than being regaled with stories of altered worlds and heroic journeys into inner worlds, I listened to dozens of stories about improved concentration, increased efficiency, better corporate culture. “How drab,” I thought to myself as I listened to story after story about how much better work was now. A few even tried to convert me, with all the zeal of

Boulder Weekly

an Oxi-clean commercial, promising a miracle solution to remove the stains of modern life. “You can unleash your genius,” they’d say, “five micrograms at a time.” One woman tried to seduce me by calling it the flow state, adding “it’s just like Adderall, but more creative.”

I always kind of hated Adderall. It’s not like I didn’t try it once or twice in my college days and glory in its wildly productive benefits, but I almost considered it an intellectual crime. For me, learning has always been something that bordered on sacred and something that was hard for no other reason than it was supposed to be. Adderall has its time and place, sure, but in my opinion, there is something lost when you trade in the agony of an all nighter for the comfort

of a sure thing. I can’t help but wonder the same about microdosing — wonder if it’s just another prescribed way to stay alert in a world that has come to bore us. I wonder if we’ve gotten so numb to our lives, so saddened by them, that we’ve become desperate for a way to acclimate, rather than doing what it takes to make meaningful change. And maybe there’s nothing wrong with that. If it takes a little LSD to say good morning like you mean it, why not slip a little tab onto your tongue? There is emerging science that suggests the practice can really improve emotional and physical well-being at no perceived cost to function of body or mind. And many experienced psychonauts are trading in their epic big trips for the minimum effective dose. But in my own experiments with microdosing I was bothered by the subtly, which is to say I am one for big trips. I don’t want to be like Lance Armstrong, taking just enough to win while staying under the radar. Nah, I want to trip out loud, seeking an altered experience that challenges the world as I have come to understand it. Or at least that’s what I was thinking to myself last week while taking my ritual walk down my country road, smoking my nightly spliff — just a little bit of tobacco rolled up with a little bit of weed. And then it hit me — I have been microdosing cannabis for most of

my adult life. Oh, the hypocrisy! Especially since legalization, I have been a fairly regular cannabis user. But I can count on one hand the number of times that I have gotten stoned. The first was the first time I bought cannabis from a dispensary back in 2012. Eagerly I took one unsuspecting hit of some really strong flower and was sent to the proverbial moon and back. I learned my lesson and quickly, doing what I could to mitigate getting blasted away, smoking up just enough. Just enough so that it’s easier to take a deep breath, so that my shoulders drop down and back and my inner thinking comes alive. But not enough to make me sleepy or anxious. It turns out that I am not alone as shoppers in legal markets are increasingly turning to smaller and smaller doses or less intense strains that mix well with the daily routine. And just as it gains popular favor, the medical marijuana community is beginning to embrace it, too. They aren’t just saying to use the minimum effective dose, but that the less you use, the better it works. Call me converted. My change of heart reminded me of a moment not so long ago, sitting outside of a teepee waiting for a Peyote ceremony to begin. Anxious as we waited, a fellow participant and I made small talk about how we justified our own drug use, in its myriad forms. I told him I worried sometimes that I was taking a shortcut — no matter if it was to enlightenment or to just getting through another day, it is a shortcut nonetheless. “What’s wrong with a shortcut?” he asked. “It may be a shortcut, but nobody says it’s easy.”

cannabis corner

by Paul Danish

Three-dot journalism comes to Cannabis Corner

nd then there were five. At midnight last Saturday ( July 1) Nevada became the fifth state in which recreational marijuana could be sold and bought legally. Nevada joins Colorado, Washington, Oregon and Alaska as states with legal recreational sales. ... Nevada State Senator Tick Segerblom, a longtime legalization advocate, may have snagged the first legally sold pot in the state when he led the charge into The Source dispensary and made the first purchase after the doors opened. At least 80 customers had been served by 1 a.m. ... How brisk was business at Nevada dispensaries over the weekend? ReLeaf, a med dispensary turned rec dispensary served 1,000 a day on Saturday and Sunday. It’s usual business as a med dispensary had been 100 to 150 a day. “The line is out the door and the line just doesn’t stop,” said COO Al Fasano. “People are there when we open [at 10 a.m.] and they’re there when we close [at midnight].” ... Tourists, 42 million of whom visit Las Vegas each year, are expected to make two out of three recreational pot purchases in Nevada. It will be interesting to see how that affects Colorado’s marijuana tourism. ... It will also be interesting to see how multi-billionaire ($33 billion) casino magnate (The Sands) and pot prohibitionist Sheldon Adelson deals with it. What happens in Vegas may stay in Vegas, but it doesn’t have to stay at The Sands. Put that in your glass pipe and smoke it, big shot. • • • Speaking of Sheldon Adelson, according to Wikipedia he was the largest single contributor to the Trump campaign. That may explain a couple of things. ... Thing No. 1: Jeff Sessions. Thing No. 2: why Trump hasn’t publicly called for handing pot

policy over to the states, as he promised, despite the fact that as a way to broaden his support it’s a nobrainer. ... • • • Speaking of glass pipes, the website BadassGlass. com recently put together a graphic showing the 12 states with the hightest per-capita numbers of pot users. And we’re number one! ... 21.6 percent of Coloradans used pot in the past year, which works

out to 909,000 Colorado stoners. Oregon was second with 19.9 percent and 646,000 users. Alaska with 19.5 percent and 114,000 users was fourth, and Washington, with 19.5 percent and 1,105,000 was fifth. ... Third place went to Vermont, 19.8 percent and 108,000 users, where the legislature passed a recreational pot legalization bill earlier this year, only to have it vetoed by Governor Phil Scott, who had concerns about “the children.” ... Supporters did a quick re-write that satisfied the governor, but couldn’t get it considered during a special session of the legislature. They say they have the votes to pass it next January. ...

• • • Nevada set a record — less than eight months — between the time its voters legalized weed (November 8) and the time its voters could buy weed ( July 1). ... The other three states that legalized pot last November are still screwing around with regulation writing. In Massachusetts, the Legislature has spent six months trying to mess with the initiative the voters passed; currently a joint committee, so to speak, is trying to reconcile the mess passed by the state House and the mess passed by the state Senate. ... A major point of contention is that the state House wants to raise the tax on pot from the 12 percent rate in the voter-passed bill to 28 percent. The state Senate appears to have recalled that the revolution we celebrated a couple of days ago, which was started a few miles up-river from Bean Town, had something to do with taxes. Northing wrong with those guys’ long term memories. ... • • • “Jobs, jobs, jobs” has been a marijuana legalization talking point for years, and now we’re finding out just how many the industry has already generated: 165,000230,000 full and part time workers, according to the Marijuana Business Factbook 2017, including workers in retail outlets, wholesale grows, infused products/concentrates providers, and testing labs, etc. ... According to Marijuana Business Daily, there are more marijuana workers (165,000-230,000) than dental hygienists (201,000,) and chances are they won’t give you a lecture about the stains on your teeth either. ... Ganja-related employment is growing so fast that it is expected to surpass employment in the telemarketing industry (238,000) next year. ... You know, it would be a national blessing if some of the poor wretches condemned to dialing for dollars and endlessly repeating scripted lies could find honest work in grows and dispensaries. ...

THE FUTURE IS NOW When the movie Gravity came out a few years ago, it unearthed some fears here at BW. The idea of floating off into space — alone — until out of oxygen is, after all, the worst death we can imagine. “What an irrational fear,” you might be thinking. “That’s not going to happen to you” But the joke’s on you nonbelievers. If you haven’t noticed, our world has become much more like the science fiction writers imagined decades

NEW TV SHOW GIVES PALIN A SECOND CHANCE IN D.C. Well, for all you curious folks out there wondering whatever happened to Sarah Palin, BW has the answer. The former Alaska governor, one-time Fox News talking head and saboteur of the 2008 John McCain presidential campaign is apparently going to get a second crack at our nation’s capital. But not in the way you might imagine for a politician. Nope, the infamous “I can see Russia from my house” politWikimedia Commons/ ico isn’t going to be Pfc. Christopher Grammer, 50th Public running for office any Affairs Detachment time soon, but BW has learned that Palin has landed a new TV gig. Are you ready for this: “Naked and Afraid in D.C.” Each month Palin will be paired with an over-the hill rocker or former member of Congress. Ted Nugent, Kid Rock and Newt Gingrich are rumored to be the first three guests. The premise of the show is simple. Palin and her guest partner will be dropped off at the Lincoln Memorial buck naked. Each will have access to a slush fund account with $5 million but here’s the catch: the money can only be used to fill campaign coffers of members of Congress. In order to survive, Palin and her partner must get representatives or senators to do their bidding. Each week, viewers who voted for Trump will have the chance to submit a piece of legislation they would like to see get passed. It’s then up to Palin and friend to use their slush fund to get politicians to back the idea publicly. In exchange for such backing, Palin earns food, sticks and tarps for shelter, and even a butane lighter should a bill actually pass either chamber. Spoiler alert: the first episode has a naked Palin and Gingrich earning a Chick-fil-a sandwich by convincing House dunce Devin Nunes to go on Fox and suggest that presidential terms should be expanded to 12 years. Good stuff. Boulder Weekly
