A permit to kill the well-known Armory Prairie Dog Colony will be issued if a relocation site is not approved by late August.

Boulder City Council:

Provide a new home on 10 acres of city open space already designated for prairie dog relocation to the healthy and vibrant Armory colony.

Why Save the Armory Prairie Dogs? • Prairie dogs are a Keystone Species, providing habitat to more than 150 other animals and plant life that rely on their existence (including burrowing owls, badgers, various raptors, and others). • Known as the “Gardeners of the Prairie,” prairie dogs churn, fertilize and groom the prairie, creating biodiverse plant life and increasing the health of the soil. • Colonies of prairie dogs are made up of tight knit families, much like ours, and communicate in one of the most complex animal languages decoded by biologists. • Contrary to popular belief, prairie dogs’ breeding cycle is short and limited. Females enter estrus for about one hour per year and give birth to a litter of 3-4 pups, only half of which will survive their first year. • Prairie dog habitat is down to less than 1% of historic numbers.

• The Armory Prairie Dogs’ genetic bloodlines stretch back to the original Boulder region from prairie dogs hundreds of years ago. • With 24,000 acres of publicly owned open space grasslands, City Council can make room for the 10 acres the Armory Colony needs to survive and contribute in a vital way to the ecosystem. • The city’s permitting process, intended to protect prairie dogs on private land, has failed to do so. In all but one case, no relocation site could be found, permits were issued, and colony after colony of prairie dogs have been killed. Boulder residents have paid for thousands of acres of open space to preserve fragile and crucial ecosystems for future generations. Relocating the Armory Prairie Dogs to city open space land will honor those intentions.

You can help save the Armory Prairie Dogs!

Highroad Brand New Congress

by Jim Hightower

hat if progressive organizers and volunteers joined forces to run a nationwide campaign to replace today’s corporate-owned Congress — all at once? Yes, one sweeping campaign against all incumbents of either party who owe their jobs to the Big Money powers. The idea is to oust those Congress critters with hundreds of coordinated, Brand New Congress campaigns run-

ning simultaneously in every state, backing local candidates publicly pledged to fight for an agenda of economic, social, environmental and political justice. Impossible? Not in the minds of several former Bernie Sanders staffers who’ve conceived and implemented his campaign’s successful grassroots model. They’ve trained and empowered tens of thousands of far-flung volunteers to be autonomous organizers, digitally linked into a nationwide network, eliminating the need and cost of a rigid hierarchy of “leaders” to boss volunteers, recognizing instead that volunteers are already leaders. Now they’re applying this model to an effort called Brand New Congress, which will carry the message of authentic populism and a shared agenda of populist policy proposals. It’s to be a true bipartisan effort, running Dems in blue districts, Repubs in solid red ones and independents wherever that makes sense. But wait —

how can they get Republican candidates to run on progressive values? By recognizing that true populism is neither a right or left theory, but a top versus bottom reality that even middle-class and lower-income Republicans can relate to. Indeed, outside of the right-wing Congress, many rank-and-file Republicans are for stopping global trade scams and repealing Citizens United, as well as for assuring health care for all, recognizing climate change, and standing up to bigotry.

I think the latter is more likely to have been his motive but, of course, it’s a dumb ploy. Trump and his “gang who can’t shoot straight” consultants don’t understand that, while community rights are really important to the majority of Colorado voters, they are not something that would compel us to put up with a racist, violence-inciting, misogynistic, fascist-wannabe, pin head of a president for four years in order to get them (Spoiler alert: BW will not be endorsing Trump). Fortunately, we all understand that we can vote for Initiatives #75 and #78 without having to check off a box for any presidential candidate if we don’t want to. But back to my point, the Trump fracking remarks aren’t the big story. The big story wasn’t reported, it just flowed out of our TV sets as if it was some perfectly normal part of a newscast, but there was nothing normal about it. Immediately following the Trump interview — immediate as in it was reported at the end of the interview as part of the same story — 9NEWS cut to a blue screen holding a statement from the Colorado Oil and Gas Association (COGA) explaining that fracking is actually good for us and our economy would collapse without it. The statement went on to explain how COGA is going to immediately start educating Mr. Trump so that he comes to understand that community rights and citizens voting for initiatives like #75 and #78 is the wrong thing to do. Yes, of course that’s a paraphrased version of the COGA statement. But the intent is spot on. So what does this odd rebuttal added to an interview with a presidential nominee tell us about Denver’s corporate news media? It makes it crystal clear that the oil and gas industry is calling the shots when it comes to what Denver TV stations are reporting about all things oil and gas. For those of us in the news business, who’ve been paying attention and who are fortunate enough to work for publications that have yet to sell out to oil and gas interests, the omission of important coverage of this issue on the TV news is nothing new. That’s how buying the news with advertising dollars generally works. As a rule, it doesn’t create positive stories about an industry, that would be too obvious. Instead, it just makes sure that negative stories about the industry rarely see the light of day, same with stories that might draw attention to opponents Boulder Weekly

of the industry. Think about it. How many stories about the growing anti-fracking protests and the participating citizens’ increasing use of civil disobedience have you seen on the nightly local TV news? How many “checking the facts” segments have been done on the content of oil and gas commercials that, frankly, are often built around lies and deception? How many reports about the increasing flow of research on the harm fracking and oil and gas extraction are doing to the environment, our health and our property values have you seen aired? Exactly, if you only get your information from local TV news, you aren’t even aware that there is massive controversy surrounding the oil and gas industry in Colorado. But then comes Trump’s unexpected position on fracking and it forces 9NEWS to show its true colors. So Trump makes roughly four position statements to the 9NEWS reporter: Hillary, public lands, legalized pot, fracking. Do they find a Hillary spokesperson to counter Trump’s position? Nope. Do they find a BLM spokesperson to defend the importance of public lands? Nope. Do they find a modern-day version of Carrie Nation from some MomsAgainst-Pot group to speak out against the evils of legalized marijuana? Nope again. But the second they cut from the recorded interview back to anchor Adele Arakawa in the studio, there was that blue screen with the COGA statement right behind her as she dutifully read the oil and gas industry’s counter point and spin of the presidential nominee’s position on fracking, as if it was just another part of the same “news” report. The only positive thing to come from this TV news circus is that it clearly exposes the level of control the oil and gas industry has purchased over what gets aired as news on local TV stations. And being aware of this corporate co-opting is the best defense against it. One final note while I’m pointing fingers at the news media, I would be remiss not to point out that our friends over at the Denver Post couldn’t resist doing the exact same thing as 9NEWS did for their pals in the oil and gas industry. The paper also gave the last chunk of their story on Trump’s fracking statement during the 9NEWS interview to COGA. Great corporate minds apparently think alike.

danish plan The Boulder County black hole by Paul Danish

As a matter of full disclosure, Paul Danish is currently running for County Commissioner. Should any other candidates for County Commissioner or current Commissioners desire equal space on this issue it will be provided by Boulder Weekly.

he world record for jail over-crowding is held by The Black Hole of Calcutta. Boulder County’s jail does not rise to that level, but it

still sucks. For the past three years Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle and District Attorney Stan Garnett have been telling the Boulder County Commissioners, in so many words, that the Boulder County Jail is a ticking time bomb. On each occasion the Commissioners have responded by mouthing the usual pieties and kicking the can down the road. Last year they responded with a favorite ploy of redblooded bleeding heart liberals faced with a problem that threatens their world view — they hired an outside consulting firm to study the problem — Nebraska-based MJ Martin Inc. Last week consultants Mark Martin and Gary Bowker presented their findings to the commissioners. It was Groundhog Day in July. According to a story in last Sunday’s Daily Camera, Martin and Bowker told Commissioners the jail’s chronic over-crowding and soaring population of prisoners with mental health problems has reached the point where the staff is losing control of the jail to the inmates. The current jail, which opened in 1988, was originally designed to hold 287 prisoners, with an optimal capacity of 85 percent of that, according to Martin. “It was full the day we moved in,” Jail Director Bruce Hass told the Camera in 2014. Since then, its capacity has been expanded seven times, mostly by double and triple bunking, but also by a bricksand-mortar addition of a 64-bed medium security wing. Today it houses around 535 inmates, as it has for the last three years. However, the jail’s staff is only marginally larger than it was when it opened. Martin and Bowker recommend expanding the staff by 29 fulltime equivalents.

How bad are conditions in the jail? Here are some of the things inmates and jail staffers told the Camera in 2014 and 2015: ·In 2014, then-20-year-old Stephanie Mills was arrested on DUI and theft charges. The Camera reported she was living in a jail module “where upward of 70 women are routinely crammed into just 16 rooms.” ·In the summer of 2015, the jail was so over-packed that inmates had to spend over half their time on lockdown, because the staff felt it was unsafe to lend an entire module of offenders out of their cells at the same time. Most inmates didn’t get to go outside “for more than one out of 48 hours.” ·In May 2015, Deputy Ryan Scheller went to unclog a toilet in the cell of a man with whom he had always gotten along. The man snuck up behind Scheller and punched him in the face repeatedly, breaking his nose. A few weeks later, an inmate smashed a deputy’s head with a lunch tray, breaking bones in his face. ·About 40 percent of the jail’s inmates have a diagnosed mental health problem, more than twice the number than when Pelle took office in 2003. Although Pelle doesn’t say it, the county jail is turning into a combination jail and mental hospital — with inadequate staffing for either role. Since 2014, Pelle has been calling for the construction of an “alternative sentencing facility,” essentially a minimum-security, dormitory style jail for inmates with mental health or substance abuse issues and for low-risk offenders who can be put in programs that allow them to keep their jobs. Pelle is thinking in terms of a 300bed facility. Larimer, Weld and Adams counties already have them. “I toured Larimer County’s and talked to them extensively,” Pelle told the Camera last year. “Larimer is demographically very similar to Boulder County by population, etc. And this facility is very, very successful.” The cost of the facility would be about $12 million to build and $4 million a year to operate. The Commissioners’ reaction to all this was to hire Martin and Bowker to study the problem — and let it fester for another year. Pelle said the County, “is in analysis paralysis.” see DANISH PLAN Page 10

letters ‘Treatment’ for emerald ash borer worse than the problem

I appreciate the Weekly’s overview of the emerald ash borer plague that will probably kill all the ash trees in Boulder and other Front Range cities. [RE: Boulderganic, July 28, “Slow-moving disaster reaches Longmont”] Mollie Putzig’s article mentioned “treatment,” but what does that mean? It mostly means injecting or spraying ash trees with neonicotinoid pesticides, repeatedly, year after year. For homeowners, that would cost hundreds or thousands of dollars spent on each tree. It could also lead to the disappearance of bees from Boulder. Neonics are long-lasting, very potent and extremely deadly to bees. Germany has banned neonicotinoid seed treatments and other countries have severely restricted their use in agriculture in general. The expensive “treatment” now being recommended by too many local arborists will have consequences much worse than the problem it is meant to solve. Treatment of ash with pesticides will not work in the long run. We cannot poison the emerald ash borer out of existence. We may kill this year’s crop of bugs in our trees, but others will come and replace them. The replacement bugs will evolve and gradually grow more and more resistant to our chemicals. We will have spent lots of money and killed many bees, only to lose the war. I have an excellent, beautiful ash on my front lawn. It provides important shade to my property. Until my ash dies or becomes decrepit and potentially dangerous, I’ll give it water and support. I hope it lives and prospers as long as possible. But it’s pointless and bad for our ecosystem to spray or inject it with pesticides. Instead, I’ll plant a new tree, or two, in its shadow. I’m now trying to decide what species to plant. It won’t be an ash. Gary Sprung/Boulder

there is no appeal. For example, a Canadian oil company could sue the U.S. government in one of these panels if Boulder County passed an anti-fracking ban. Or a company could sue if the anti-fracking ballot initiatives pass this November. The panels are biased toward the corporations and the lawyers revolve between being on the panels and representing corporations against countries. The conflict of interest is mind boggling and

demonstrates the absolute arrogance of the top 1 percent. Protections for corporations are ironclad and enforceable with threats of huge fines.

Juno reaches Jupiter by Travis Metcalfe

n Roman mythology, Jupiter is king of the gods and his wife Juno is the queen. Jupiter was known for his infidelity, so Juno was always keeping an eye on him. In one story, Jupiter fell in love with a priestess named Io and tried to conceal their affair with a veil of clouds. The goddess Juno peered through the clouds and revealed Jupiter’s true nature. With a name inspired by this myth, NASA’s Juno spacecraft arrived at Jupiter in early July and will spend the next 18 months peering through the clouds to discover its inner secrets. “We’re going to fly past Jupiter up close, measure the gravity field, the magnetic field, as well as the microwaves coming from the deep interior,” says Fran Bagenal, professor in the Department of Astrophysical and

Planetary Sciences at the University of Colorado and a team leader for the Juno mission. Bagenal first came to Boulder in 1987 as a visiting scientist at NCAR’s High Altitude Observatory, and she joined the faculty at CU in 1989. She has been involved with Juno since the beginning. She now leads one of the three primary working groups that are responsible for conducting science experiments during the mission. The Juno spacecraft was built right here in Colorado by Lockheed-Martin, and it was launched from Cape Canaveral in August 2011. Although it was strapped to the largest available Atlas-V rocket, the launch alone didn’t give it enough momentum to reach Jupiter. Instead, it flew out beyond the orbit of Mars and then whipped past Earth again in 2013 to get

a gravitational boost that pushed it into the outer solar system. It made headlines last month on July 4, when it finally reached Jupiter and slowed itself down enough to be captured by the planet’s gravity, a maneuver known as orbit insertion. Most missions to the outer solar system rely on nuclear power to operate at large distances from the sun. A radioisotope thermoelectric generator uses heat produced by the radioactive decay of plutonium-238 to create power. This is not the type of plutonium that is used for weapons, but it can only be manufactured in nuclear reactors. When Juno was being designed, the United States was running out of plutonium-238, so the mission needed to find another power source. Despite the fact that sunlight is only 4 percent as intense at Jupiter as it is on Earth, improvements in the efficiency of solar panels allowed the mission to operate on just 200 watts of power from three arrays, each measuring 9 by 29 feet. “There’s nothing like having to go to another planet to design equipment that is super energy efficient,” Bagenal says. “I believe that’s one of the big payoffs that comes with space exploration.” Unlike previous missions to Jupiter, Juno will orbit over the north and south poles of the giant planet. This will allow it to pass very close to the cloud tops while avoiding radiation belts above the equator that would damage sensitive electronics on board. It made the first close pass when it arrived at Jupiter last month. After making a couple of longer orbits, in October it will begin orbiting Boulder Weekly

every two weeks, gathering information for several hours during each close pass and transmitting the data to Earth when it is further away. Juno will map the gravitational field of Jupiter to probe its inner structure, it will use microwaves to determine the water content of the atmosphere and it will study Jupiter’s northern and southern lights to understand the planet’s magnetic field. These experiments are designed to answer key questions about the structure and formation of planets, not only in our own solar system but also around other stars. “Jupiter played a major role in solar system formation, possibly also in bringing water to the Earth,” Bagenal explains. “If we knew how our solar system formed and the role of Jupiter in that process, we could begin to compare it to other solar systems.” The spacecraft is designed to endure the radiation environment near Jupiter for up to 37 orbits, but even a handful of close passes are expected to solve some of the planet’s most important mysteries. Whenever the mission ends, Juno is scheduled to make a controlled descent and burn up in the atmosphere of Jupiter. The purpose of this fiery exit is to avoid any possibility of contaminating Jupiter’s icy moon Europa, which has a sub-surface ocean that scientists believe may harbor life. Stay tuned as local scientists help unlock the secrets of the king of planets. Travis Metcalfe, Ph.D., is a researcher and science communicator based in Boulder, Colorado.

news PCBs in Colorado public schools

Research estimates as many as 300 buildings are at risk of exposing students by Claire Woodcock

t least one-third of Colorado public schools may contain harmful polychlorinated biphenyls or PCBs. Experts familiar with the issue, including researchers at Harvard who have published two studies including one in 2016 titled “Review of PCBs in U.S. Schools: a brief history, an estimate of the number of impacted schools, and an approach for evaluating indoor air samples” and a SUNY Albany professor who focuses on the health impacts of long term PCB exposure, believe that the probability that hundreds of schools in Colorado are currently contaminated with PCBs is absolute. “The chances that some Colorado schools have PCBs is 100 percent,” says Dr. David Carpenter, director of the Institute for Health and the Environment at SUNY Albany. Carpenter has led several studies that focus on populations exposed to PCBs. His research has found that rural and inner city school districts are more likely to have higher concentrations of leftover PCBs in the caulking and masonry, and that, like lead or asbestos, PCBs are carcinogenic and hazardous if inhaled. “Of course some have been remediated and upgraded such that concentrations may be low now, but I’m sure that is not the case for all of them,” Carpenter says. He’s also testifying pro-bono on behalf of parents and teachers in a high-profile citizen’s court case against Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District (SMMUSD) in California. In the fall of 2013, three teachers developed thyroid cancer within months of one another all while working in classrooms with unsafe levels of toxic PCBs in the window caulking. Soon after the teachers were found to have cancer, it was learned that the school district had known that its buildings and soil contained an “unacceptable risk.” Then, when the school tested the window caulkings, it found as much as 11,000 times the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) legal limit of PCBs. Critics of SMMUSD’s handling of the matter are now accusing it of attempting to bury the evidence. In May 2016, nearly 6 years after Malibu first learned

it had a contamination problem, a federal judge took up the citizen’s lawsuit against the School District. What occurred in the Malibu school district demonstrates that no school system, regardless of its affluence or funding, is above the potential for PCB exposure. It also speaks to the crippling cost of remediation that a wealthy system such as SMMUSD would be willing to go to such lengths and expense just to avoid cleanup. “In many cases the PCBs migrated from the caulk into the adjacent masonry, making remediation even more expensive,” Carpenter says. “So it isn’t just a matter of removing and replacing windows and caulk.” The total cost of remediation and legal fees in the Malibu case could top $9.5 million and that does not include any potential settlements of lawsuits pertaining to illness among students and teachers. Carpenter says that the high cost of remediation is the reason most districts avoid testing school buildings for PCBs altogether. While the testing is relatively inexpensive — usually between $50 and $300 according to Carpenter — remediation is not. Carpenter says it’s difficult to guess how much remediation is likely to cost until a thorough examination of a school in question has been conducted. He also points out that the current regulations do not require any action even if you think PCBs are present in a school but don’t test for them. For that reason he says many schools and even states don’t test simply because they don’t want to deal with the expense of fixing the problem should PCBs be found. Even when testing occurs, the legal requirements can make for less than thorough results. The EPA is only legally required to test one room suspected of containing PCBs. If PCBs above the allowable limits are found in one room, the EPA is required to remove the contamination from that room only. The agency then has no further obligation to even test the remaining rooms in the building, let alone the other school buildings within the district. Critic’s argue this selective test and cleanup procedure is a glaring loophole in the system designed to save money, not necessarily protect children and teachers. Since “administrators and facility managers are [the

ones] most familiar with the materials and equipment used in their buildings, the EPA relies on schools to evaluate and determine potential risks,” says Richard Mylott, a spokesperson with the EPA. Until 1979, PCBs were legal to use as sealants for window caulking and ballasts in fluorescent lights. Then Congress banned the manufacturing and use of PCBs under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). By that point, PCBs were slowly being phased out. The TSCA contains the laws governing the legal limits of PCBs allowed in public buildings. Responsibility for enforcing the TSCA falls to the EPA in theory, but as with many environmental regulations, it’s not that simple. But no matter the arguments over who is in charge of regulating PCBs, it is imperative that the squabbling is settled quickly because as the recent Harvard study mentioned above asserts, up to one-third of the nation’s schools, constructed between 1950 and 1980, may contain PCBs. That’s between 12,960 to 25,920 schools nationally. That’s why PCB exposure poses such a threat to Colorado public schools. More than 900 public schools in the state were built before the EPA determined these toxic chemicals to be human carcinogens. Many of these buildings are still in use today, which means, based on Carpenter’s and the Harvard researcher’s estimates, some 300 Colorado schools are likely to be currently exposing their occupants to PCBs at some level. So what has the EPA found in Colorado schools so far? The answer is nothing, but that’s because the EPA says it isn’t required to test for PCBs until it’s asked to do so and no one has requested a test. The agency did confirm that the Boulder Valley School District (BVSD) is the only school that has been proactive on the PCB front by requesting the EPA’s assistance. But that assistance was only a request for updated regulatory information so the district could conduct its own PCB audit via an outside consultant. While the BVSD did find PCBs in some buildings, Briggs Gamblin, director of communication and legislative policy for BVSD, says the district believes the PCBs are now “conSee PCBs Page 19

Matter” broke out sporadically from both sides for the rest of the afternoon. Still heated while pondering the prospect of a Trump presidency, Paul went on, “Being in the military means being of service to something greater than yourself. What has he served? Himself. He hasn’t served anybody except for himself. He knows nothing about community except for the community that’s in Trump Tower. I am not a Clinton supporter. I never have been and probably never will be. But I am voting against Trump. If she is the most viable person to beat him, then yes I will vote for her.” Another veteran on the side of the protesters, Alan Pitts, shared that because his dad was in the military, “I grew up with all these stories so all I ever remember wanting to do was to join the military.” Alan wore a shirt with “Iraq Veterans Against the War” written across the front. He is also part of the recently created group known as Vets vs. Hate. The group’s Facebook page states: “We are veterans united against the rampant hate being promoted in our country right now.” Vets vs. Hate has protested several times at Trump Tower in New York City and also had a presence at the Republican National Convention last month in Cleveland. At this particular rally, Alan and a fellow member of Vets vs. Hate, Matt Stys, took on the role of marshals. In that capacity, they intended to act as liaisons between protesters, pro-Trump event attendees and police officers should the need arise. They hoped to quiet any potential trouble before the police were compelled or required to get involved. In short, Alan and Matt wanted to ensure a peaceful protest for everyone involved. When I spoke with Alan, he sounded a lot like Paul. “I think foreign relations would be a joke under a Trump presidency,” Alan said. “I just don’t see Trump being able to sit down with Putin or other powerful leaders from around the world and put his ego aside to actually work to get things done. Talking about bringing back torture and things worse than that. I don’t know how you can spew an agenda like that and be taken seriously, especially by people in the military. “If there’s anybody who’s against war, it’s the people who have been there and who don’t want to go back anymore. And I think with somebody like Trump we’ll be even more imperialistic, militaristic and interventionist. I think Trump tries to use vets as props to push his political agenda of hate.” When Trump took the stage after 2:45 p.m., he spent the first two minutes of his speech ripping the Colorado Springs fire marshal of 23 years, Brett Lacey, for not letting more people in. “This is why our country doesn’t work,” Trump began. “We have thousands of people in a room next door, we have thousands of people outside trying to get in, and we have a fire marshal that said, ‘Oh, we can’t allow more people.’” To be clear and according to KKTV News, there were 1,100 people in the viewing room next door, not “thousands” as Trump declared. Lacey had actually increased the capacity for both the main venue and the secondary viewing room by 100 people before the event in an effort to accommodate additional attendees. Trump told the crowd, “It’s not my fault,” despite the fact that his campaign controlled ticketing and issued far more tickets than the venue held. Then he suggested that the reason Lacey wouldn’t fill the venue past capacity is that, “They don’t know what the hell they’re doing.” Trump went on, “Maybe they’re a Hillary person? ... This is the kind of thing we have in federal government also by the way, folks. And then you wonder why we’re going to hell. That’s why we’re going to hell.” The irony of these statements against the fire marshal is that Trump was actually rescued by Lacey’s fellow firefighters with the Colorado Springs fire department less than an hour prior. Along with nine others, he had been stuck in a local resort elevator for about 30 minutes. KKTV reported, “Crews opened the top hatch and lowered a ladder into the elevator. Everyone inside, including the Republican presidential candidate, had to climb out.” No injuries were reported. While the veterans I spoke with were protesting his message outside the auditorium, one could argue that Trump only helped to prove their points when he took the mic inside. Among other things, Crystal noted Trump’s divisive rhetoric, Paul worried about a disinterest in diplomacy, and Alan mentioned his ego. By publicly haranguing the community leader who worked for the very fire department that had rescued Trump just a few hours earlier, Trump certainly didn’t win over the protesting vets. Perhaps it went both ways. Alan’s final statement before I left was this: “I don’t think we changed a single person’s mind that was coming to see Trump speak, but this is how our country was built. This pushing and pulling is good.” Boulder Weekly

tained.” Boulder Weekly will be following up on exactly what was found and what steps to remediate the problem were taken in BVSD. But more importantly, BVSD’s experience only confirms that Colorado has a statewide issue in its public schools. “Any exposure is going to increase risk of disease, and the greater the exposure the greater the risk,” Carpenter says. “This is especially important for children in schools, where they should not be exposed to a substance, that like lead, reduces learning ability.” Long-term exposure to PCBs has been linked to cancer, endocrine disorders and reproductive troubles. Carpenter says the compounds have also been linked to cognitive and behavioral problems in children including impaired reflexes, lower IQs and higher rates of ADHD. The Colorado Department of Education (CDE) has not researched PCBs in public schools across the state over which it has jurisdiction. It claims that its failure to do so is based on the fact that it has not received any legislative directive to investigate PCB exposure to its students. The CDE also says they are not responsible for conducting a PCB investigation and have no intention of doing so. “Yes, of course CDE is concerned about the health and safety of students in public schools in Colorado,” Jeremy Meyer, CDE assistant director of communications, says. But he then notes that the CDE depends on the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) to conduct such tests at public school facilities. If that’s true, it’s news to the CDPHE. “The state of Colorado is not authorized to implement the regulations pertaining to the management and disposal of materials containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs),” says Freddy Arck, public information specialist with the CDPHE. He says it’s instead the EPA Region 8 that oversees PCB regulations in Colorado. But the EPA maintains it is not required to test Colorado schools for PCBs because no one has asked them to do so. A seemingly large loophole in the system, given that TSCA regulations do not specifically require PCB testing for public buildings. Rather, they wait for school districts to contact them with concerns about PCB exposure and then, as mentioned before, test one room. Mylott says the EPA recommends schools take action to reduce potential exposures with the role of the EPA being to provide technical assistance if requested. It is not a recommendation that the CDE seems interested in hearing. Meyer says the CDE has no intention of researching PCB threats to reduce potential exposure because it has not received any complaints, questions or concerns regarding PCBs. Like many other school districts across the country, Colorado districts are already facing budget cuts. So, according to Carpenter, they know that looking for harmful PCBs will only exacerbate their budget problems. As for the CDE’s decision to wait for complaints before testing, it could be years, even decades, after exposure before cancer symptoms or other problems surface and are diagnosed. And often by that time, it is impossible for the medical community to trace the exact cause of the illness, particularly if there is no record of PCB exposure because no one ever bothered to test for the carcinogens and report their presence in schools. “Colorado is a local control state, and we cannot mandate them to fix an item like this,” Kevin Huber, a regional program manager for CDE, says. “This would have to be resolved at the district level.” And the blame shifting goes on and on. The EPA says it is up to the individual schools to test for PCBs. The schools say it is up to the district. The districts say it is the CDE that has to tell them to test. But the CDE says that they won’t test because that job falls to the CDPHE. And the CDPHE won’t test because it claims that only the EPA is responsible for doing so. It seems when it comes to PCBs and Colorado schools, it’s just one big circle of denied responsibility. And yet, all the while, if the Harvard study and the experts who have researched the issue more closely are correct, Colorado children and teachers in as many as 300 of our schools are potentially being exposed to carcinogenic PCBs every day. And, every hour that the state and federal government delays its investigation, the price tag for cleanup only goes up, not to mention the potential health impacts. Carpenter points out that all of this lack of taking responsibility on the part of bureaucracies that are supposedly in place to keep our children safe creates a Catch 22. “[Legally] if you don’t know they’re [PCBs] there, you don’t have to do anything about it,” he says. “But to have it be a dangerous place and have no one know is unethical.” At this point, it has become clear that those in charge of keeping our children safe from PCB exposure in Colorado have been made aware that it is an issue, or at least the experts and the researchers at Harvard say it’s an issue. The only question now is who will take responsibility for enforcing our environmental laws and get started with the necessary testing. If Malibu and the other districts are any example, it will likely take parents getting involved to spark the needed actions. Boulder Weekly

Report shows increase in acts of anti-Semitism across the country by Katie Porter

Wikimedia Commons However, recent years have seen growing hostility and violence against minority faiths, including those in the Jewish community, reports the AntiDefamation League (ADL) in their annual Audit of Anti-Semitic Incidents. The 2015 study shows that national incidents rose 3 percent from 2014, which saw a 21 percent increase from the prior year. The news comes after a steady 10-year decline following a hate crime spike post-September 11. According to Scott Levin, regional director for the ADL in Colorado, the escalation makes sense given the emerging global interracial and interreligious tensions and the current state of public affairs in the U.S., which has the second-largest Jewish population in the world. “It’s attributable to hateful rhetoric in politics these days,” Levin says. “If you’re talking about how ‘horrible’ the immigrants are or people from certain countries, that with conflicts like those in Gaza and with ISIS. emboldens people to use the same sort of hateful Samuel Boyd, assistant professor of religious studrhetoric when describing anyone they don’t agree ies at the University of Colorado Boulder says Jews with.” have long been a convenient scapegoat.

incident hundreds of people throughout the community — people not associated with us, government officials — reached out to show their support. The response was ensuring people continue to feel safe and comfortable and at home at this space they connect with deeply.” He has spoken with hundreds of families about the incident since, and while the organization tries to look forward, there is a responsibility for education. “Hatred, whether towards one group or another, needs to be both identified and reported by everyone when a specific community is affected by it,” Lev says. The ADL was formed in 1913 with a mission of confronting anti-Semitism and has since moved toward combating discrimination in general, while also tracking global attitudes toward Jewish people. A planet-wide survey reveals more than a billion people harbor antiSemitic beliefs. These perceptions are most prevalent in the Middle East, Europe and northern Africa. And while these numbers are shocking, they are most likely much higher. Overt bigotry is not accepted the same as it was, say, 100 years ago, but current politics are testing that. Rabbi Jamie Korngold, from Boulder’s Adventure Rabbi program, agrees recent discourse is to blame. “I think it’s the general rhetoric in society today,” she says. “The incidents of hate crimes have risen in the past year because it’s become more acceptable to speak and act negative towards people different than you.“ Many incidents, Korngold says, are quietly reported to the police and don’t make the news, in order to try to minimize copycat attacks. The ADL’s press release even generated repercussions, she says, although cannot go into detail for safety reasons. Levin says that the victims of these crimes might not report them at all, for varying reasons. “Sometimes the targets of hateful action are embarrassed; they don’t want to draw attention.” However, it seems the general consensus is that anti-Semitism in the U.S. needs to be both talked about and addressed. In 2004, Congress passed the Global Anti-Semitism Review Act, which created a committee to research hateful beliefs toward Jews. Of the legislative effort, then-president George W. Bush said, “We have a duty to expose and confront antiSemitism wherever it is found.” “We very much, as an organization, encourage people to report and make it known,” Levin concludes. “It’s only by tracking, identifying and bringing these occurrences to light that we can deal with it.” August 4, 2016 21

Boulder’s sustainable stake in global palm oil by Christi Turner

recent years, a wave of companies have committed to improving the way they source one of the world’s most popular, most environmentally destructive, most socially irresponsible ingredients — palm oil. But behind the scenes, proponents of sustainable palm oil, including important players here in Boulder, are still struggling to rein in the global industry. Some advocates say that’s partly because the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), formed in 2004 to develop global standards and a certification process called Certified Sustainable Palm Oil (CSPO), isn’t doing a good enough job. Rainforest Action Network (RAN), a major watchdog working to transform the industry, says the RSPO is leaving far too many forests and indigenous peoples vulnerable to the consequences of industrial-scale palm oil

production. “Basically it all comes down to how you define a forest, how you define a forest that will be protected and how you define a forest that can be used for palm oil,” says Gemma Tillack, director of RAN’s agribusiness campaign and palm oil programs. “Within the palm oil industry this is a very hot debate.” And it’s a massive industry. The fruit of the oil palm tree is a far more efficient producer of oil than many other seeds, fruits and nuts, yielding up to 10 times more oil than other popular sources on the market. According to the World Wildlife Fund, palm oil is used in more than 50 percent of all packaged supermarket products in the U.S. It accounted for more than 55 percent of total edible oil exports in 2012, and was the world’s most consumed oil or fat in the same year. According to RAN, U.S. palm oil imports increased 485 percent between 2002 and 2012. And

global palm oil consumption has ballooned: The European Palm Oil Alliance says the world used just 17.7 million tons of it in 1997 and 52.1 million tons by 2012, with research predicting the market will more than double again by 2022, reaching 128 million tons. Half the world’s palm oil supply is now produced in Indonesia — the country some recent studies say has the highest rate of deforestation on the planet. Another 35 percent is produced in Malaysia, with smaller centers of production in parts of South Colombia’s Daabon Organic Group is a leader in sustainably growing and harvesting fruit from palm trees. The fruit is used to produce palm oil, one of the world’s most popular ingredients.

America and Africa. This rapid expansion has wreaked havoc on rainforests and peatlands, critical to preserving biodiversity and regulating the Earth’s atmosphere; the sheer scale of deforestation in Indonesia, much of it for industrial palm oil plantations, makes the country the world’s third-largest emitter of carbon dioxide. And all too often, the industry’s practices are fraught with human rights violations, such as underpaying workers, the use of forced labor and human trafficking. Additionally, in places like Indonesia, where rainforests are often a patchwork of ages and types, the RSPO standards protect primary forests while leaving many areas of young, regenerative secondary forest vulnerable to clear-cutting. RAN says that in the RSPO’s most recent review of its certification process, the group failed to include a key requirement to protect secondary forests, and also failed to protect shallow peatlands — which store vast amounts of CO2 and methane, another potent greenhouse gas, in their soil. Even with its weakened standards, RAN says the RSPO has a poor track record of enforcing compliance among its membership. Although notably, RSPO recently suspended IOI Group, a Malaysian palm oil producer and RSPO member, for a string of violations. With RSPO failing to meet sufficiently high standards, RAN and other partners have put in place the Palm Oil Innovation Group (POIG), designed to raise the bar of the RSPO and prove that truly sustainable palm oil is possi-

ble. The POIG charter, according to its website, “outlines leading standards for protecting forests, peatlands, biodiversity and carbon, whilst upholding the rights of local communities and workers, and improving livelihoods for local communities.” The focus of the POIG, RAN’s Tillack makes clear, is to fortify the RSPO process, not to replace it. “We want to get the RSPO to strengthen its standards so that they include provisions to protect all forests, protect all peatlands and protect human rights,” she says. The POIG partners with progressive palm growers and corporate champions of sustainable palm oil, including locally renowned Boulder Brands. Although it’s a relatively small consumer of palm oil, Boulder Brands became the first manufacturer to support the POIG in 2014 and plays a leading role in the effort to clean up the massive industry. In fact, Tillack says Boulder Brands has adopted the strongest palm oil policy of any company in the market today. Adriane Pilcher, marketing director for Earth Balance at Boulder Brands — the product line with the largest palm oil demands, at about 20 million pounds per year — says it’s an important ingredient with clear benefits when it’s produced responsibly. “We partnered with POIG because they’re really the gold standard and set the highest bar in the industry,” Pilcher says. “We committed for Boulder Brands sourcing to align with the POIG charter, and that’s what we are striving to adhere to.” Boulder Weekly

boulderganic In early 2015, Boulder Brands publicly announced its goal to source 100 percent of its palm oil from sustainable sources, vetted by POIG, by the end of the year. But even for a company that needs just 0.05 percent of the world’s palm oil, the 100 percent goal remains out of reach. Its supplier in Colombia, Daabon, recognized as a leader in sustainable palm oil production, provides Boulder Brands with 100 percent-certified sustainable and organic palm oil. As for its supplier in Southeast Asia (who Pilcher won’t name), Pilcher says they’re still “on a journey” toward 100 percent sustainable. “The availability of POIG compliant palm oil right now is limited to a few suppliers in South America,” Pilcher says. “Creating big change is going to come from (POIG) bringing on more big growers and suppliers ... so that more companies can source responsibly.” WhiteWave, a Broomfield-based company that uses palm oil in a number of its product lines, is committed to the RSPO process, but not to POIG. Matt Hargarten, director of communications at WhiteWave, says sustainable palm oil fits into the company’s commitment to cultivate a better food system. “We embrace our role as a food manufacturer in adopting practices that address critical issues within the palm oil sector, as well as the role of our supply chain partners in this commitment,” Hargarten says. “We are proud to source 100 percent Certified Sustainable Palm Oil (CSPO, the RSPO certification) for all of our liquid creamer products, a commitment we made back in 2010 that was achieved by 2012, three years ahead of our 2015 commitment target.” On July 26, WhiteWave announced

its commitment to meet the “RSPO NEXT” criteria by 2020. RSPO NEXT is simply a “voluntary addendum” to the existing RSPO process, Tillack says, and it allows companies to buy credits for better palm oil practices rather than actually changing its sourcing. “Our reflection is that (RSPO NEXT) will not work,” Tillack says. “It doesn’t apply to actual palm oil. It’s more like a carbon-trading sort of tool... From RAN’s perspective, it falls short.” Hargarten, however, says WhiteWave sees RSPO NEXT criteria as complimentary to POIG, and it will hold the company to a similar commitment. He says WhiteWave is “committed to affecting the actual palm oil supply chain where possible,” and will require its suppliers to comply with RSPO NEXT by 2020. WhiteWave’s impending acquisition by the French giant Danone, presuming it goes through as expected, may actually improve WhiteWave’s palm oil practices. Danone, a member of POIG, has a strong palm oil policy that requires no deforestation, no peat destruction and no human exploitation. And in an interesting twist, the recent acquisition of Boulder Brands by Pinnacle Foods may put its leadership in sustainable palm oil at risk. Pinnacle Foods, Tillack says, has no palm oil policy. The complex palm oil policy landscape can be tricky for consumers to understand. And unfortunately, the heavy toll on rainforests, the impact on the climate and the human rights concerns, coupled with steadily growing demand, mean that palm oil stakes are high. “This is a sector that really needs a lot of market pressure to transform it,” Tillack says. “The time is now.”

site associated with Slaughterman’s Ditch at a crossroads on the west end of town. It is a monolithic sculpture of a washtub made of concrete, flickering with specks of gold and mica, that stands in stark contrast to the otherwise distressed wooden architecture in town. Inside the tub are small porcelain drains, stitched with real Asian hair to spell out the title of the piece. “My piece is titled ‘Star Crossed Visitors’ because [Chinese immigrants] came to this country for the potential for a better life, but they were seen as the other,” she says. “Eventually they were forced out and more or less forgotten. It makes me really sad to see that happening again today in the xenophobia and the fear of the other that is going on in this country.” Importantly though, Ling Datchuk is a selfdeclared optimist. While she recognizes that she is bringing up what is an uncomfortable part of the history of Gold Hill, she says her inspiration to create the piece is in large part due to how active the community is in preserving their history. “I am showing this history with a sense of hope and not degradation,” she says. “In many ways the residents of Gold Hill are stewards of this place and it is my greatest hope this strengthens that history.” The third installation in the show departs from human notions of history to contend with the land itself. While typical histories of Gold Hill deal with the last 150 years in which the land has been useful to people, Eric Stewart is interested in exploring the land beyond the limits of human perspective. For the Art Project, he produced a series of photograms — camera-less photographs made by exposing materials to light sensitive paper — of minerals that he collected around Gold Hill, like quartz and mica. The resulting prints are shadows and reflections of local rocks and minerals that he has blown up to large Boulder Weekly

scale, making them appear luminous and ghostlike. Installed in a wooded area north of town, the images take on an otherworldly quality, especially in contrast to the density of the forest and the dirt. “The way that I think about making photograms conceptually is a way of removing the photographer,” Stewart says. “Instead of it being about the individual looking at a landscape, it is about finding a platform for landscape to speak for itself. I find a political affinity with that shift in perspective. It is advocacy for nature in and of itself, not as a resource or something to be extracted.” In addition to the installation, Stewart is hosting workshops and conversations throughout the course of the exhibition in hopes of creating a dialogue around his pieces and the landscape they depict. For Stewart, art is education, and as an art educator he is committed to creating a space for connection, community and conversation so that learning might be part and parcel with environmental action. “Aldo Leopold said that to have an ecological consciousness is to look at a world full of wounds,” Stewart says. “So there are two different ways to look at the landscape in Colorado: You can look at these beautiful landscapes, or you can see a legacy of mining and of genocide. None of that is inherent in looking, all of that happens in the stories that we tell around landscape.” All three of the artists in the Gold Hill Art Project explore the context of their hosting town, offering opportunities to stop and consider the different layers and aspects of the history locally and universally. Britton Newell is hopeful that the show will draw a large audience and that this exhibition is just the beginning of more art in Gold Hill. But the true mark of her success will be if she gets it right at home, with the people of Gold Hill who have so generously opened their history and their home in the name of art. Boulder Weekly

Kern, whose appearances at CMF have earned her an extensive following in Boulder. The first half of the concert offers two pieces: Stravinsky’s “Dumbarton Oaks” Concerto in E-flat major for chamber orchestra, and Schubert’s Symphony No. 5 in B-flat major. These pieces were carefully selected to build up to the Beethoven Concerto in the second half. Musicians will recognize the program’s key sequence, E-flat, B-flat, E-flat, as a standard chord progression. This makes the first half of the program, in Zeitouni’s words, “a big prelude” to the Beethoven. At the same time, the ensembles grow in size from piece to piece. “It starts with the ‘Dumbarton Oaks,’ which is only a handful of players,” Zeitouni explains. “Then we play the Schubert Symphony, which is really a chamber symphony. It’s like a diamond, a beautiful, finely crafted piece, (and then) the proportions of the Emperor are bigger, and the impact is stronger.” The least familiar work is the Stravinsky, which Zeitouni is delighted to introduce to Boulder audiences. “It’s a modern-day Brandenburg concerto,” he says. “It’s neo-classical Stravinsky — full of humor, very witty, but very refined.” Stravinsky, Schubert, Beethoven: This inviting mix of familiar and unfamiliar makes a happy conclusion to the festival season. When you add some truly adventurous programming over the summer, you have an intriguing festival. And hopefully, something to look forward to for 2017.

Boulder Weekly

Local string quartet Chain Station is bringing their energetic performance style to this intimate mountain tavern. From Boulder, the four members create an Appalachia-bluegrass sound with lyrics that lend to the specific grandeur 3of the Rockies. While never straying from their Americana influences, the group’s songs span a wide range of tempos and rhythms as the guitar, mandolin and banjo culminate in a rocking sound. The guys are stopping all around Colorado for jam sessions in anticipation of their sophomore album’s release this fall. —Katie Porter

Jam

Portland-based band Scratchdog Stringband is gracing Boulder with two stops on their northwest concert tour. This mountain-music trio creates a sassy, soulful sort of acoustic sound, self-proclaimed to “put the ass back in grass,” through a blend of folk, blues and rock n’ roll influences. Plus, their sets are known for getting people out of their seats. The group is truly a team effort: They all take turns on vocals and instruments Courtesy of Scratchdog Stringband for different layers of harmony and a unique sound to every song. —Katie Porter

Shake

Dance

Djeneba Aduayom Once a backing vocalist to the stars, this soprano is front and center nowadays. After complementing the voices of Mick Jagger, Tina Turner and the like, Ms. Lisa Fischer’s solo career has proven a success for the sultry songstress, who has won multiple Grammys. Accompanied by her band, The Grand Baton, her songs’ Caribbean vibe create a smooth melody for her to bear her soul. And being in charge leaves room for experimentation: She’s known for giving new life to classics with her gospel-esque covers. Supporting act Afrosippi featuring Erica Brown will start off the night with some easy-listening reggae and blues. —Katie Porter

Are you concerned about hyperactivity or impulsive behavior? Now there is a clinically proven alternative to medication. Research shows neurofeedback to be an effective, safe, non-invasive way to work with children and adults—without resorting to psychoactive medication. Help you or your child utilize and train the brain to improve performance. neuroAgility provides diagnostic evaluations for AD/HD and Brain Injury. We offer state-of-the-art training that is respectful and nonstigmatizing; we build on your strengths leading to a sense of self mastery.

Tonight, I dressed my son in astronaut pajamas, kissed his forehead and tucked him in. I turned on his night-light and looked for you in the closet and under the bed. I told him you were nowhere to be found, but I could smell your breath, your musty fur. I remember all your tricks: the jagged shadows on the wall, click of your claws, the hand that hovered just above my ankles if I left them exposed. Since I became a parent I see danger everywhere — unleashed dogs, sudden fevers, cereal two days out of date. And even worse than feeling so much fear is keeping it inside, trying not to let my love become so tangled with anxiety my son thinks they’re the same. When he says he’s seen your tail or heard your heavy step, I insist that you aren’t real. Soon he’ll feel too old to tell me his bad dreams. If you get lonely after he’s asleep, you can always come downstairs. I’ll be sitting at the kitchen table with the dishes I should wash, crumbs I should wipe up. We can drink hot tea and talk about the future, how hard it is to be outgrown.

Stilled action

‘Jason Bourne’ is lifeless  by Ryan Syrek

ike passionless martial coitus or a zombie doing Zumba, Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass simply go through the motions with Jason Bourne, a film without purpose beyond profit. The titular character, although that’s not even his real name, has a personality that could comfortably fit inside a thimble and has allegedly impressive fighting abilities that are constantly filmed by a camera inside a dryer on the tumble cycle. Revisiting the character twice felt a bit like gilding the lily; doing so thrice is gilding a lily already so gilded one cannot gild it further. After The Bourne Legacy proved to be the goofy misfire everyone expected, the franchise jettisoned Jeremy Renner, something the planet Earth should consider given some of his misogynistic exploits. Jason Bourne (Damon) is pulled in once again by former ally Nicky Parsons ( Julia Stiles), who tells him there’s even more he doesn’t know about his past. Except, these revelations are less, “This changes everything!” and more, “Oh, I guess that’s interesting...” The quest for “the truth” pits Bourne against corrupt CIA Director Robert Dewey (Tommy Lee Jones), his potentially-not-as-corrupt assistant Heather Lee (Alicia Vikander) and a nameless CIA assassin (Vincent Cassel). There’s also some confusing side plot about a new social media platform created by a techno-wunderkind named Aaron Kalloor (Riz Ahmed). The important thing is all this allows the film to get back to the franchise’s major influence on modern cinema: Matt Damon briskly walking and looking behind him. Seriously, there’s like a good 90 Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) is back! Even if there’s not minutes of that. really a reason for him to be. Damon is a classically great movie star standing impotently before us, not unlike a nekkid emperor or the Wizard of Oz after Toto pulled that dick move with the curtain. You can hurl a bouquet of insults at James Bond as a character, but at least he has a character. Bourne’s whole schtick is not knowing who he is, which shifts to fully annoying during this outing. That, combined with a villain played by a man so bored they likely poked him with a stick when it was time to say his lines and a half-assed attempted at commentary about online privacy, produces no bang or whimper, just a sad trombone and fart noise. Early on, the Bourne series felt like “stuff-blows-up” for big kids; it seemed like a sophisticated take on typical action fluff. Jason Bourne isn’t just bad, it actively blunts the themes and ideas that made the earlier films feel special. You know you’ve done a bad thing when you make a movie so bad it makes other movies bad. To clarify: That isn’t to say Jason Bourne is totally unwatchable. It sure has all the shaky-cam slap-fighting and herky-jerky car chases you expect. If you squint, you may convince yourself it’s on par with the original trilogy. But you’re going to have to squint really hard. The ending is as “meh” as the entirety of the film preceding it, half suggesting, “Maybe there’s more,” and half saying, “Please, don’t make us do this again.” Chances are very high most folks will find themselves feeling the latter. This review previously appeared in The Reader of Omaha, Nebraska.

Using Disney to overcome autism in ‘Life, Animated’ by Michael J. Casey

Feel the healing power of touch!

n Life, Animated — the new documentary from Academy Award-winning director Roger Ross Williams — one image in particular stands out: a toddler standing in front of a TV, hand outstretched to the image before him. The image is Mickey Mouse donning the sorcerer’s hat in Fantasia and the toddler, Owen Suskind, is positively giddy at the magic and majesty before him. Three years later, Owen would go silent and detach from the world around him. Owen was diagnosed with autism. Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder that impairs social interactions, particularly verbal and non-verbal communication, and it causes the subject to engage in repetitive behavior. For Owen, that meant watching Disney movies over and over again. This was the early 1990s, and thanks to the VHS boom, those white clamshells dotted every American living room, with children sitting inches from the TV watching Dumbo for the 20th time that week. Comparatively, Owen’s viewing habits were downright normal. ON THE BILL: Life, Animated. August 10–13, But while the others watched and dreamed The Boedecker Theater, of fantasy, Owen used these exaggerated charac2590 Walnut St., Boulder, ters to pick up on social cues and understand 303-440-7825, thedairy.org. reality. Owen even learned to read by watching the credits over and over again. For years Owen sat in silence before the screen, his parents worried that they had lost their son for good. Little could they expect that Owen wasn’t lost, he was preparing. Disney was getting Owen ready for real life. Based on the best-selling book of the same name by Owen’s father, Ron Suskind, Life, Animated tracks Owen’s progress through home-movies and interviews with family members. Now in his 20s, Owen has become a spokesman for the Autism Affinities Program and is moving out of his parents’ home. It’s a feelgood story with plenty of uplift. However, Williams fails to ask the questions that might give a better idea of why Owen connected with Disney and only Disney. Disney films are reliant on strong narrative structure, but so are Hollywood movies from the studio era. Could Casablanca have taught Owen about the world? Or was it the fantasia of color and sound, coupled with a fairy tale element that drew Owen’s attention? Those qualities exist in the works of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. Would The Red Shoes have pulled Owen from his silence? Or was it simply that Owen’s childhood coincided with the affordability and popularity of VCRs and the re-release of Disney classics? Then again, Life, Animated is not about how movies affect autistic children, but how Disney affected Owen. It is a singular story about a singular subject, and in that regard Life, Animated succeeds. Just look at the scene where Owen, who has been leading a Disney movie club for other children with autism, invites Jonathan Freeman — the voice of Aladdin’s Jafar — to come and run lines with the students. These kids know the words, the inflections and all the right places to pause. The look on Freeman’s face is one of appreciation. For most of us, Freeman’s Jafar is wonderfully hammy, full of sneers and puns. For these kids, it is so much more. You see real joy on their faces, the joy of interacting. It’s never “just a movie.” Boulder Weekly

deep dish Caitlin Rockett

e’re now deep in the throes of the dog days of summer. Here at 5,430 feet above sea level, the sun feels like it’s being concentrated through a magnifying glass. In the broad middle of the day, it’s hot in a sharp, piercing kind of way. In the gardens around Boulder Weekly’s office, sunflowers have just started to bloom. This usually signifies the middle of summer, so the heat is on for a good bit longer. It’s for this reason I’ve been craving salad, veggies, fruits — anything cool — for weeks on end. There’s no way I can go home and turn on an oven. I can’t do that to my cat or myself. But in the summer, we really don’t need to use the oven all that much with a bounty of veggies and fruits at their peak. It’s a beautiful thing how the earth provides us with just the things we need at just the time we need them (a thought I should hold dear in all aspects of my life). So on a particularly hot afternoon I ventured out with a friend in search of salad. And I didn’t just want any old salad. I was looking for The Epitome of Summer Salad, full of carrots and blueberries and avocado.

Operation: Summer Salad by Caitlin Rockett

We found ourselves at Morning Glory Cafe in Lafayette, where just this kind of salad exists. Morning Glory’s menu is built to change with the seasons, and their décor seems intended to lift spirits during any season. Salmon-colored walls give the dining area warmth while still creating a bright atmosphere. Colorful paintings on every wall represent local or regional artists. Morning Glory Cafe can make you feel cool in the summer or warmed in the icy heart of winter. And the patio... well, that’s a thing of beauty. Large, red-cloth umbrellas cast shade over wrought iron chairs and tables. Diners are positioned to gaze out over a quiet grassy space. Morning Glory is located in what might be the coziest shopping center in the world, so sitting on the patio doesn’t make you feel like you’re sitting in the average crowded shopping center.

While we lazily sipped ice tea — another stipulation I made when we set out on Operation Epitome of Summer Salad — we watched as someone strolled through the grass with their dog. Birds chirped and butterflies fluttered around looking for nectar. Not the typical shopping center at all. But back to the mission: a salad. Perusing the list of salads at Morning Glory provided more than a few options, but for me, nothing screamed summer quite like the mango salmon salad. The fish comes medium rare (or any other temperature you like, but you want the fish to retain that juicy mouthfeel. But hey, I’m not here to lecture), slightly crisp around the edges, atop a bed of fresh greens with grated carrots, shredded beets, sprouts and goat cheese. A side of guacamole and sour cream provide thick, savory accompaniments to the crunch of greens. The warmth of the salmon, with its cool center, creates a perfect contrast to the chilled foundations of the dish. And you can top it all off with a thick emulsion of blueberry vinaigrette. My best friend — the other one, who wasn’t with me on this particular day — hates salads. Well, she complains they don’t keep her full. That’s not the case with this hefty salad. I was full well past dinnertime. And the best part was not having to use the oven.

Moxie’s bread artisan on the power of jamming, butter and colloidal supersuspension

he word “moxie” means “force of character, determination or nerve,” according to the Oxford English Dictionary. The breads produced at Moxie Bakery are also pretty nervy. My favorite, the Algerian, is a deep brown crusty loaf with major chew and a tender inside with sourdough tang resulting from a long, slow, sexy fermentation. This is bread that grabs you and makes you pay attention. It is everything Wonder Bread is not, including wonderful. The star on the menu at the Louisville bakery café is unquestionably the kouign amann (QUEEN-ah-mahn), a pastry from the Brittany region of France. Imagine butter croissant dough laminated with even more high-fat butter and sugar and baked in a salted, sugared and buttered muffin tin until thoroughly caramelized. It is ridiculous, but in a good way. see NIBBLES Page 52

The mind behind the 1-year-old Moxie is Andy Floyd, a veteran of Colorado’s artisan bread movement who casually tosses around terms like “colloidal supersuspension.” He takes biodynamic and organic heirloom Turkey Hard Red Winter Wheat — delivered by family farmer from Jennings, Kansas — and grinds it on a stone mill upstairs. He supplies ciabatta to a couple of eateries but, if you want to taste Moxie’s breads, you have to come to the store. “I dream about bread,” Floyd says, as we sit in the comfy backyard at Moxie, full of stumps to sit on, a pizza oven, Susan France shade trees and a sandbox stocked with big metal trucks. That makes sense when you find out that Floyd and his wife, Phillippa, have three sons: Theo, 3, Max 6, and 8-year-old Samuel. Moxie is a big change of environment from working in large commercial bakeries. “It’s just been awesome to have the kids around,” she says. “My son Max loves coming in to work. He’ll come early and stay late. We knew we’d have yummy stuff, but the bakery has really become a gathering spot in the past 12 months, and we see a ton of regulars. It’s wonderful to have a family scene. Moms can come here, sit in back and the kids can play in the sandbox, and they don’t have to worry about them.” Q: What was the first thing you ever baked? The first thing I ever baked was an artisan pizza with sesame seeds at the Glass Sailboat in Gloucester, Massachusetts. It was a summer job and the baker let me come in early unpaid to watch. One day the pizza guy didn’t come in so he had me do it. Q: You were going to study marine biology. How did you end up in Boulder? A: Through a series of uh, life turns I ended up in Boulder in a friend’s dorm see NIBBLES Page 54

room at CU when I was 18. I got a job working — briefly — for Michael Sclafani at Boulder Bagels near the Daily Camera. I walked into the Daily Bread Bakery (where Frasca is now) and became a barista. One day somebody didn’t show up. They said: “Punk, show up at 4 a.m.” I never missed a morning. I fell in love with everything about baking. Q: What did you like about bread baking? A: Bread is a science and you have to get your formula right. You can’t be sloppy. Dough is very time- and temperature-sensitive and especially with humidity. Dough loves moisture and here we are always fighting the dryness. Q: You took a break when the Daily Bread became part of Whole Foods Market. A: I went on a long Mexican hitchhikKim Long ing adventure involving lots of mezcal, unfiltered cigarettes and trains. Q: Afterwards you joined Whole Foods Market also. A: It was like walking into a tornado with lots of meetings and training. I stayed 15 years, and it was really good training in quality control and managing people. Four years ago he joined Udi’s Bakery (now Izzio’s) in Colorado. Q: Music seems as important to you as whole grains. A: I liked being a baker because I could work by myself and listen to my music. Now the arguments in the kitchen are always about music. They want Pantera. I tell ‘em, “Let’s meet in the midVisitors sample Colorado wines and dle and play (bluegrass guitarist) Tony have lunch at the cool tasting room for Balistreri Winery in Denver. Rice.” Q: You had instruments available to play at Moxie Bakery from the moment it opened. A: I play guitar and sing. I’m a campfire player. I’ve gotten better in the past year because I have all these better players around. My favorite thing is our Wednesday night pizza frenzy and jam. It starts with a jam in the backyard with about a dozen people — some bluegrass, mostly Celtic and old time music. Later on the front porch we usually have some of the more professional players — ranging from roots to chamber music — it can be anything. It’s worth it when I head home at midnight and have to be back at 5 a.m. Q: What’s coming out of the oven next? A: We’re building a small stage in the backyard so we can have small shows, and we’ve applied for a license to sell beer and wine.

You literally will not believe where Balistreri Winery is located as you drive with the concrete trucks toward the power plant north of Denver near I-270, but it is a very cool destination for a hot August day. Respite waits in the classy winery tasting room with John Balistreri’s quirky, ripe Colorado wines and board of olive oil, salumi, cheeses and pickles. (balistrerivineyards.com)

Tour de brew: Boulder Beer Company

I wanted a mission, and for my sins, they gave me one.” — Capt. Benjamin Willard in Apocalypse Now

Boulder Beer Company. 2880 Wilderness Place, Boulder, 303-444-8448.

o forth and drink, young man!” Boulder Weekly’s editorial staff commanded and I complied. The mission: Visit and document each and every one of Boulder’s craft breweries. Many are nestled alongside the Flatirons, and they are legion. Was I up to the challenge? Sir. Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. May I have another? What better place to start than Boulder’s oldest, and Colorado’s first, craft brewery: Boulder Beer Company. Founded in 1979 by two University of Colorado professors, Boulder Beer was originally established in northeast Boulder on a small goat farm. Five years later, they moved to the transit village at Valmont and Foothills Parkway, and they’ve been there ever since. Still a working brewery, Michael J. Casey Boulder Beer has since converted their tasting room into a full-service pub — aptly named The Pub. In the dining room you’ll get a good view of the copper fermentation tanks and overhear the brewmasters discuss dry-hopping while they traipse back and forth between the back offices and the bar. But atmosphere isn’t the reasons we’re here; it’s the beer. Drop $18 and pick up the full tasting flight, 13 samples of what is currently on tap — seven staples and six seasonal. Their original gangster, Buffalo Gold (4.8% ABV), has been a Colorado favorite since 1989 and goes down as easy and inoffensively as a Coors. That sounds like a knock, but its not. Sometimes you just want something cold and malty, and the less you have to think about it, the better. Gonna watch the Buffs or Broncos? Buffalo Gold is the way to go. Catching a Rockies game? You’re going to want something stronger. Probably the two most well-known beers produced by Boulder Beer are Hazed, a hoppy session ale (5% ABV), and Mojo IPA (7.2% ABV). Both do the trick, but they pale in comparison to the grandeur that is the Shake Chocolate Porter (5.9% ABV), a rich, dark porter made with cacao nibs. Its velvety texture is akin to the leftover milk from a bowl of Coco Krispies — it’s nostalgia fermented. The Shake can be found in bombers pretty much everywhere, but The Pub is where you will also find it on nitro, which adds a little more complexity and a whole lot more flavor. If the Shake is a bit heavy for hot summer days, Boulder Beer has Pulp Fusion (6.5% ABV), a blood orange IPA that is vibrant, light and citrusy, and Sweaty Betty (5.2% ABV), a blonde hefeweizen that boasts hints of banana. The Pub’s food menu offers beer-pairing suggestions, and the Sweaty Betty is their most versatile, designed for just about everyone. And that seems to be about Boulder Beer’s modus operandi. “Who’s got two thumbs and is done for the day?” a bearded brewer proclaims, tossing his folder down on a table and picking up a pint. Another employee concludes the daily-guided tour of the facility to applause. Another salutes an entering patron destined for the bar. Boulder Beer is a loose atmosphere that pulses with activity and energy, and it pairs nicely with a pint. Boulder Weekly

ARIES

MARCH 21-APRIL 19:

I apologize in advance for the seemingly excessive abundance of good news I’m about to report. If you find it hard to believe, I won’t hold your skepticism against you. But I do want you to know that every prediction is warranted by the astrological omens. Ready for the onslaught? 1. In the coming weeks, you could fall forever out of love with a wasteful obsession. 2. You might also start falling in love with a healthy obsession. 3. You can half-accidentally snag a blessing you have been half-afraid to want. 4. You could recall a catalytic truth whose absence has been causing you a problem ever since you forgot it. 5. You could reclaim the mojo that you squandered when you pushed yourself too hard a few months ago.

TAURUS

APRIL 20-MAY 20:

August is Adopt-a-Taurus month. It’s for all of your tribe, not just the orphans and exiles and disowned rebels. Even if you have exemplary parents, the current astrological omens suggest that you require additional support and guidance from wise elders. So I urge you to be audacious in rounding up trustworthy guardians and benefactors. Go in search of mentors and fairy godmothers. Ask for advice from heroes who are further along the path that you’d like to follow. You are ready to receive teachings and direction you weren’t receptive to before.

GEMINI

MAY 21-JUNE 20:

When a parasite or other irritant slips inside an oyster’s shell, the mollusk’s immune system besieges the intruder with successive layers of calcium carbonate. Eventually, a pearl may form. I suspect that this is a useful metaphor for you to contemplate in the coming days as you deal with the salt in your wound or the splinter in your skin. Before you jump to any conclusions, though, let me clarify. This is not a case of the platitude, “Whatever doesn’t kill you will make you stronger.” Keep in mind that the pearl is a symbol of beauty and value, not strength.

LEO

SCORPIO

JULY 23-AUG. 22:

You’re not doing a baby chick a favor by helping it hatch. For the sake of its well-being, the bird needs to peck its way out of the egg. It’s got to exert all of its vigor and willpower in starting its new life. That’s a good metaphor for you to meditate on. As you escape from your comfortable womb-jail and launch yourself toward inspiration, it’s best to rely as much as possible on your own instincts. Friendly people who would like to provide assistance may inadvertently cloud your access to your primal wisdom. Trust yourself deeply and wildly.

VIRGO

AUG. 23-SEPT. 22:

I hear you’re growing weary of wrestling with ghosts. Is that true? I hope so. The moment you give up the fruitless struggle, you’ll become eligible for a unique kind of freedom that you have not previously imagined. Here’s another rumor I’ve caught wind of: You’re getting bored with an old source of sadness that you’ve used to motivate yourself for a long time. I hope that’s true, too. As soon as you shed your allegiance to the sadness, you will awaken to a sparkling font of comfort you’ve been blind to. Here’s one more story I’ve picked up through the grapevine: You’re close to realizing that your attention to a mediocre treasure has diverted you from a more pleasurable treasure. Hallelujah!

OCT. 23-NOV. 21:

Your strength seems to make some people uncomfortable. I don’t want that to become a problem for you. Maybe you could get away with toning down your potency at other times, but not now. It would be sinful to act as if you’re not as competent and committed to excellence as you are. But having said that, I also urge you to monitor your behavior for excess pride. Some of the resistance you face when you express your true glory may be due to the shadows cast by your true glory. You could be tempted to believe that your honorable intentions excuse secretive manipulations. So please work on wielding your clout with maximum compassion and responsibility.

SAGITTARIUS

NOV. 22-DEC. 21:

Did you honestly imagine that there would eventually come a future when you’d have your loved ones fully “trained”? Did you fantasize that sooner or later you could get them under control, purged of their imperfections and telepathically responsive to your every mood? If so, now is a good time to face the fact that those longings will never be fulfilled. You finally have the equanimity to accept your loved ones exactly as they are. Uncoincidentally, this adjustment will make you smarter about how to stir up soulful joy in your intimate relationships.

CAPRICORN

DEC. 22-JAN. 19:

You may experience a divine visitation as you clean a toilet in the coming weeks. You might get a glimpse of a solution to a nagging problem while you’re petting a donkey or paying your bills or waiting in a long line at the bank. Catch my drift, Capricorn? I may or may not be speaking metaphorically here. You could meditate up a perfect storm as you devour a doughnut. While flying high over the earth in a dream, you might spy a treasure hidden in a pile of trash down below. If I were going to give your immediate future a mythic title, it might be “Finding the Sacred in the Midst of the Profane.”

AQUARIUS

JAN. 20-FEB. 18:

I’ve worked hard for many years to dismantle my prejudices. To my credit, I have even managed to cultivate compassion for people I previously demonized, like evangelical Christians, drunken jocks, arrogant gurus and career politicians. But I must confess that there’s still one group toward which I’m bigoted: super-rich bankers. I wish I could extend to them at least a modicum of amiable impartiality. How about you, Aquarius? Do you harbor any hidebound biases that shrink your ability to see life as it truly is? Have you so thoroughly rationalized certain narrow-minded perspectives and judgmental preconceptions that your mind is permanently closed? If so, now is a favorable time to dissolve the barriers and stretch your imagination way beyond its previous limits.

PISCES

FEB. 19-MARCH 20:

Are you lingering at the crux of the crossroads, restless to move on but unsure of which direction will lead you to your sweet destiny? Are there too many theories swimming around in your brain, clogging up your intuition? Have you absorbed the opinions of so many “experts” that you’ve lost contact with your own core values? It’s time to change all that. You’re ready to quietly explode in a calm burst of practical lucidity. First steps: Tune out all the noise. Shed all the rationalizations. Purge all the worries. Ask yourself, “What is the path with heart?”

Dear Dan: I am currently separated. A few months after I moved out, my estranged wife found out that I cheated on her before we got married. I was a CPOS. I feel horribly guilty and would like to think I’ll never do it again. The question is: When and what should I disclose to future partners? — No Clever Acronym Dear NCA: There’s no need to disclose this to future partners. Everyone makes mistakes — and the mistake you made, while a deeply painful betrayal of your then-girlfriend and presumably a violation of a premarital monogamous commitment, is a thoroughly common one. Human beings aren’t used cars — we aren’t obligated to disclose every ditch we drove ourselves into before we resell ourselves. You didn’t fuck around on your ex habitually, you’re not a serial cheater, and you never violated your marriage vows. So there’s that. Resolve not to make this mistake again — make only new ones — and stuff that incident down Ye Olde Memory Hole. Dear Dan: I hooked up with this hot married couple. We’d done it before, and my expectations were shaped by previous (fun) experiences with them. But the sex wasn’t good this time. That would be fine — sometimes it just doesn’t work, and I am an adult

about it — but for the specific reason it wasn’t good: The husband came on my face after I specifically told him not to do that. I used my words. He still blew a load in my face and then sheepishly kinda apologized afterwards. He said he didn’t mean to do it and that he was aiming at my boobs. I do not believe it for a second. It was an “ask for forgiveness, not for permission” kind of thing — I could see that on his face. He looooves facials. So that sealed my decision to not sleep with them again, which I told them about. I consider a load in my face against my will to be a big violation of my trust/friendship. The couple thinks I’m overreacting and that a load in your face should be a forgivable offense. I’m not going to change my mind, but I am curious what you think about sneaky facials. — Unwanted Semen Angers! Unicorn Seeking Advice! Dear USA!USA!: Sneaky facials are sneaky, and I don’t approve of sneakiness in the sack. People should be straightforward and direct; they should communicate their wants, needs, and limits clearly; and we should all err on the side of solicitousness, i.e., drawing new sex partners

out about their wants, needs, and limits, because some folks have a hard time using their words where sex is concerned. You used your words, USA!USA!, and this dude violated your clearly communicated wants, needs, and limits. I’m glad you let them know you were upset and why you weren’t going to see them again. Single women who want to hook up with married couples are hard to come by and in — that’s why you’re called unicorns — and his selfish disregard for your limits, his clear violation of your trust, cost them a unicorn. Dear Dan: I have two questions. (1) I saw a sex worker for a legit sensual massage that turned into fooling around. Once that happened, he mentioned “making” straight guys have sex with him, wanting to give massages to teenagers, and he talked dirty about younger boys. I know this could all be provocative fantasy talk, but I had a weird feeling about him before meeting. Who would I even disclose this to if that were the right thing to do, and how would I do so while protecting his (should be legal) right to trade ass for cash? (2) Furthermore, I’m a thirsty genderqueer girl plotting her escape from a

suburban town. I’m not going to be here long enough to look for an LTR. How can I satisfy my lust safely? It seems like every time I hook up with someone, they disclose intense drug use or other risky behavior after the fact. — Fantasizing Lecherously About Good Sex Dear FLAGS: (1) There’s no licensing board for sex workers — there’s no accrediting organization, no sex-work equivalent of the legal profession’s bar association (and most sex workers would oppose the establishment of one) — so there’s nowhere you can go to report this guy. If he confessed to an actual crime, FLAGS, you could go to the police, and they might even do something about it. But the police are unlikely to get involved if he was just fantasizing; it’s not against the law to engage in dirty talk, even extremely fucked up/ickily transgressive/NOT OKAY dirty talk. (2) Masturbation is the safest way to satisfy your lust until you get your ass out of that druggy suburb full of risky-sex junkies and to the big city, where we urbanites drink only hot tea, snort only in derision and use only condoms religiously.

The cannabis industry and the golden rule

very week in the world of cannabis there are timely happenings — new legislation, new businesses, new dimensions of social justice implications — but there are also more lasting phenomenons, subtly evolving undercurrents to the headlines of the ongoing narrative. One of which is the way social media spaces both Flickr/Jason Howie accommodate and deny cannabis consumers and businesses. Currently Google, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram all have bans on cannabisrelated advertising. This represents a change in policy that, as little as two years ago, took a much harder stance against cannabis in general and frequently blacked out accounts for merely associating with the plant. Moving away from this prohibitionist stance, the current policies allow businesses that comply with state laws to have an online presence, and at the same time it prohibits any activity that could be conceived of as illegal at the federal level, mainly by engaging in interstate promotion or commerce. Jesse Burns, marketing director of Sweet Grass Kitchen, a Denver-based wholesale edible company, says it succinctly: “[Cannabis businesses] are guilty until proven innocent where

every other industry is innocent until proven guilty.” And the company has first-hand experience. Sweet Grass Kitchen’s Instagram account has been shut down twice due to concerns that the company was involved in illicit drug activity or somehow didn’t qualify as a real business. In one way, Burns says he understands where social media companies

are coming from. “They don’t want black market sales happening across their boards and they are just covering their own butts,” he says. Still, these actions have real consequences for his business. Social media is not a fringe part of marketing but central to the way a company builds its brand, sells its products and sustains a variety of relationships with customers. “We just want to be able to use [social media] like other industries,”

Burns says. “Now, in internet 3.0, you get instant feedback on your product and invaluable user-generated content through these channels. For us to have access to those things, like everyone else, is extremely valuable.” There are sites that exist to fill the niche created by prohibitionist policies, like Boulder-based MassRoots, a social media platform specifically for cannabis users and companies. MassRoots offers an alternative space for social media communities to form around cannabis that legally advertise to users that are over the age of 18, mostly over the age of 21. But the site only offers access to customers already in the folds of the cannabis community and does little to reach new market segments or to spur change in social perception of cannabis at large. And, MassRoots faces its own obstacles, too. In the spring, the company filed to be listed on NASDAQ but, despite meeting all of the major requirements, was rejected due to involvement in illegal activity. The sentiments of CEO Isaac Dietrich echo those of Burns. “All that we are asking is to be evaluated and treated like any other business in our same scenario,” Dietrich says. Earlier this year, Lauren Gibbs,

founder and president of Rise Above Social Strategies that frequently works with cannabis businesses, was compelled to write an open letter to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg as published in the Cannabist. She wrote primarily as a business woman seeking fair treatment of her industry, but she also wrote as a social activist, connecting corporate prejudices toward the cannabis industry to the war on drugs that continues to rage. “In meetings, my clients discuss strategies that land people in jail in prohibition states,” she writes. “The majority of those people are black men who are victims of the racist war on drugs. The political winds could shift, but we forge on with a sense of responsibility. If business owners are not willing to take these risks, legalization will not occur nationwide. Access to medicine will be restricted. The war on drugs will keep communities of color oppressed and imprisoned. To many of us, cannabis legalization is not just about making money, but about using businesses to create a better society.” Social media is a hub of culture, but only if it is allowed to truly host the people and relationships that give its networking purpose and power to inspire progress. While the situation is far from perfect, there is an opportunity for actions of civil disobedience as companies and individuals confront the specific and broad repercussions of practices rooted in prejudice, hopefully continuing to create change. This opinion column does not necessarily reflect the views of Boulder Weekly.

THE LOWEST TAXES IN COLORADO

W E

cannabis corner

by Paul Danish

Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration

ver wonder what parts of the country are home to the highest percentage of stoners, and which parts have the lowest percentage? And ever wonder just how much the typical pot smoker spends on weed? Two new studies are out that address those burning questions. The first one was done by the U.S. Government’s Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). And it comes with a cool map that shows where the stoners are and aren’t. (See map.) According to a story in the Washington Post, it turns out the place with the highest proportion of marijuana users in the county is — wait for it — San Francisco, California, with 15.46 percent of the population over the age of 12 reporting that they have smoked pot in the past month. And we here in Colorado are close behind. The number of Coloradans over 12 who said they had smoked marijuana in the past month came to 14.01 percent of the population. A glance at the map shows that Coloradans really are the riders of the purple haze. The percentage for Boulder County isn’t broken out separately, but is included in the Greater Denver Co-Prosperity Sphere (essentially the counties that belong to the Denver Regional Council of Governments, if I read the map correctly). The percentage of the population who reported smoking pot in that area came to 14.80 percent. (It wouldn’t be surprising if Boulder County’s percentage was higher than the region’s, and the City of Boulder’s higher still, but SAMHSA’s data isn’t sliced and diced that fine.) Interestingly, our region didn’t contain the highest percentage of Colorado stoners. That honor goes to the Western Slope with 14.84 percent.

trations of marijuana users approaching San Francisco/Colorado proportions? Northern California’s Golden Triangle, Seattle and Washington, D.C. all stand out. The lowest use rates are in the far south of Texas, where fewer than 4 percent of the population smokes pot monthly. Nationally, 7.7 percent of Americans age 12 and older, approximately 20.3 million people, use marijuana monthly or more. The study of how much a typical pot user spends on weed in a year was done by Headset, Inc., a cannabis consultancy, which reviewed about 40,000 legal pot purchases in Washington state from September 2014 to July 2016. According to a story by Bloomberg News, the study found that the average recreational marijuana consumer is a 37-yearold man who buys traditional marijuana buds. The medium amount spent by this consumer is $647 annually, with an average of 19.5 days between purchases. Although the average age of a consumer is 37, the study found the bulk of the purchases were made by millennials. Just over 50 percent of recreational marijuana consumers in Washington state were aged 21 to 34. Fewer than 10 percent of the purchases are made by buyers over 60. The median amount spent per buy by customers in their 20s is $27 per visit to a dispensary. However, it was geezer stoners who spend the most per trip; buyers in their 80s spend $64 per visit. The biggest median annual spenders are found in Generation X; users in their 40s spend $823 a year on pot. “As you’re older, you might have more money to go and make bigger purchases,” said Headset cofounder Cy Scott to Bloomberg News. “The millennials might be out and about more; they can drop into [marijuana dispensaries] more often. Older people might just plan more.”

Where the stoners are (and aren’t) in the USA It turns out that every few years the SAMHSA combines data from its National Surveys on Drug Use and Health to derive the estimates of monthly marijuana use. The latest data covers the years 2012, 2013 and 2014, and includes survey responses from approximately 204,000 people. The large sample size makes it possible to produce a map with a level of detail not possible with traditional surveys. Significantly, most of the data was gathered before legal marijuana sales began in Colorado at the start of 2014, so we’ll have to wait until the next report to find out how much impact legalization had on marijuana use. So where else in the country do we find concen-

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

POKÉMON GO? MORE LIKE POKÉMON SO! Whether you like Pokémon or you hate those little bizarre animal-like cartoon concoctions with unnecessarily complicated names, you gotta admit the Pokémon Go app has had remarkable success. The app smashed download records and quickly trended worldwide on social media. (We won’t mention the downfalls: stampedes, finding dead bodies, car accidents, increased trespassing, breaking and entering, etc.) The app found its recipe for Wikimedia Commons/ r2hox viral potential by capitalizing on today’s technology obsession and thirst for nostalgia. (No word yet on the number of downloads for the Baiting Beanie Baby Bae dating app or the Spice Girls Spice Rack Space Race game.) To play, modern-day house goblins, more commonly known as millennials, were actually forced to go outside and … we don’t know, “catch them all” or something... The fresh air might have felt peculiar to those who hadn’t disconnected from their XBOX live or Facebook feeds since the early aughts. Thankfully though, to use the app, they didn’t actually have to physically unglue their eyes from the screen to look at any surrounding nature. But if even the very idea of having to be in nature is too overwhelming for today’s robot-wannabe population, Playstation is about to deliver a wallop: Virtual Reality. Finally the wait is over for people who think of the Matrix as a feel-good documentary from the future. Not too much has been revealed about the system yet, but one caveat is you need 60-square feet of room to operate the Playstation VR, so get ready to see some garage sales and empty living rooms. Techies mark your calendars for Oct. 13. Concerned family members make sure to schedule interventions starting Oct. 14.

NO FLOSS FOR YOU It’s some of the biggest news of the week, dominating headlines, newsfeeds and even trending on social media. All because it’s an announcement that will affect every single one of us, or every single one of us who flosses anyway. Through a series of open records requests, the Wikimedia Commons Associated Press got the federal government to admit that their recommendation for flossing since 1979 is backed by little evidence that it actually prevents gum disease and cavities. So the big question is, naturally, what else has the government been telling us that isn’t really proven? Maybe the government is actually taking out all the pay phones, not because people don’t use them, but so we can’t escape the Matrix. Or maybe the not-so-notorious B.O.B. is right and the world is indeed flat. Or maybe so is Bill O’Reilly who said the slaves who built the White House were so well fed and taken care of that it didn’t really matter they were indeed slaves. Or Dick Cheney was right all along and there really were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq before we destroyed them all. Or all those conspiracy theorists are right and the U.S. never really did land on the moon, aliens did land in Roswell and both Elvis and Tupac are still alive. My whole world is shaken. It’s time to start questioning everything. Everything! But first give me some floss, ’cause I got lunch stuck in my teeth. Boulder Weekly
