the

Highroad Scott Walker’s incredible foreign policy by Jim Hightower

t’s time now for the latest chapter in the thrilling global adventures of: “Scott Walker, Commando!” Walker, the right-wing Wisconsin governor who’s backed by the mighty money muscle of the Koch brothers, is known chiefly for advancing the corporate agenda by ferociously busting unions, slashing education, assailing teachers and attacking welfare recipients. But now, having been served so well by Walker in the statehouse,

Team Koch wants him in the White House, where he would try to do to our nation what he’s done to Wisconsin. But, uh-oh, they’ve hit a speed bump in their plans. It turns out that presidents are expected to deal with foreign policy, and, as New York Times columnist Tim Egan recently noted, Walker’s international experience amounts to having eaten at the International House of Pancakes. Thus, image makers have been parachuted in to create “Commando Walker,” a hardline, battle-ready commander-in-chief. Unfortunately, Scottie has the look and demeanor of a Wimpo, rather than a Rambo, so the handlers have tried to compensate by writing an über-militant foreign policy for him. Thus, just for starters, Walker is calling for (1) American boots (and blood) on the ground in Iraq to battle ISIS; (2) military action to make Iran give up all of

its nuclear programs; and (3) arming Ukraine to fight Russia. Plus, he’s even saber-rattling at the Chinese. Well, not saber-rattling, more like fork and spoon rattling. Walker is demanding that President Obama cancel the upcoming White House State Dinner for China’s President Xi Jinping. Wow, that’ll shake them up; cancel their dinner, Commando Scott, and you’ll have the Chinese eating right out of your hand! How pathetic! Walker’s no commando, no commander-in-chief, either. He’s just a lightweight twig pretending to be presidential timber. This opinion column does not necessarily reflect the views of Boulder Weekly. September 10, 2015 7

Really BAD Ideas

letters Taking Action

The drastic measures taken by Razz Gormley and fellow activist to stop the Fennica icebreaker from traveling to Shell’s drilling sites in Oregon are inspiring (Re: “Taking Action,” Aug 13). And as a young professional living in Denver who hopes to raise her children in Colorado, I believe their attempt to delay the fracking was necessary, considering the fact that during the fracking process our surrounding groundwater was contaminated with an abundance of methane gas and toxic chemicals that seep into our drinking water. It seems convenient how the police didn’t seem to mind that the protestors were dangling from a bridge for what they believe in, until they became an obstacle standing in the way of Shell’s profits, almost as if they were influenced by a greater power to do something to get the protestors out of the way. It’s also interesting how such great strides could be made in passing voter fracking bans in Lafayette and Longmont, but when they make their ways into Colorado courts they’re quickly overturned and appealed. Colorado legislators should have fought harder to make sure the fracking bans followed through. It’s thought provoking that in a state of democracy, change is only obtainable when it doesn’t interfere with a multimillion dollar corporation. A corporation that only takes into consideration the short-term benefits of fracking, for instance the profit that is generated from oil. While ignoring the monumental damage it’s having on our environment, which in turn affects every one of us. Shell should care about their consumers because they need us to buy their products and work for their company. Since they haven’t gotten that message yet, we need government to intervene. Shell needs to be held accountable for their negative impacts on our environment. Call your state representative and tell them that they should not overrule voter fracking bans, so big corporations like Shell are forced to develop more sustainable business practices. Samantha Ennis/Denver

Forgive them

After living, learning and loving in (The People’s Republic of ) Boulder for the largest portion of my 65 years, and observing an increasingly conservative bent for the last 30 years in many recent transplants, all I can say is: “Where do these people get their scruples (or lack thereof )?” They are totally conservative; you 8 September 10, 2015

can’t even talk to these folks. They refuse to reason. They seem hysterical with religious fervor, selfishness and/or greed (a bad proven mix for America). In addition, the conservative circusclown-car spate of presidential choices is a perfect example of why the Republican Party may soon go the way of the Whigs. May the Great Spirit bless the reasonable, tolerant, Liberal-minded people of our beautiful city, no matter how long they may have called Boulder home, and forgive those who have strayed from compassion, grace and tolerance. Tommy Holeman/Boulder

Bernie Sanders, not corporate rule

This past May, 10 days after President Obama stated, “No trade agreement is going to force us to change our laws,” the World Trade Organization (WTO) ruled that our laws requiring country-of-origin labels for meat violated NAFTA. These laws hindered Canadian and Mexican meat companies’ profits. The United States had two choices: change our laws or pay billions in fees. The U.S. Congress chose the former, and our hard-fought-for laws were jettisoned. Such is the fate of democracy when it meets international trade agreements. We know what happens when jobs meet such agreements — they flee. And the U.S. deficit? Before NAFTA, we had a trade surplus with Mexico. In 2013, we had a $100 billion deficit. Labor agreements? We now know they are not enforced. Despite this, both Colorado Senators Bennet and Gardner, as well as Representative Polis, voted with the Republican majority on June 24, giving President Obama “fast track” trade authority to negotiate the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). The TPP involves 12 nations. It would impact 40 percent of the world’s trade and instantly become the largest trade deal in history. It’s NAFTA on steroids. This trade deal, negotiated in secret by corporate executives, would impact democratically enacted laws in every arena, from prescription drugs and financial regulations to food safety, labor laws, and environmental regulations; from the internet and service industries to health regulations to copyright law. Since NAFTA, “trade deals” have see LETTERS Page 10

commentary Trump’s dangerous rhetoric by Dave Anderson

apists. Murderers. Drug Dealers. Gang Bangers. Donald Trump said the clever Mexican government is conning weak and stupid American leaders by “sending” mostly “really bad” people into the U.S. Trump called for the deportation of all the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants as well as their American-born children. He would build an impenetrable 2000-mile wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. Shortly after Trump’s bombastic proclamations, two guys in Boston almost beat a homeless Hispanic man to death. While being arrested, one of them told police that “Donald Trump was right, all of these illegals need to be deported.” When Trump was asked about this attack, he said “That would be a shame.” But he quickly added, “I will say, the people that are following me are very passionate. They love this country. They want this country to be great again. But they are very passionate. I will say that.” This is morally depraved. “Trump has sent a message that it’s OK to be racist,” says Tom Jensen, director of Public Policy Polling (PPP). “So maybe some racist attitudes you previously held, or were not allowed to say in public, now one of the leading presidential candidates is saying them and not apologizing at all.” Jensen was releasing a new national

poll that showed that Trump is “benefiting from a GOP electorate that thinks Barack Obama is a Muslim and was born in another country. Sixty-six percent of Trump’s supporters believe Obama is a Muslim to just 12 percent that grant he’s a Christian. Sixty-one percent think Obama was not born in the United States to only 21 percent who accept that he was.” Fifty-one percent of all Republicans want to amend the Constitution to eliminate birthright citizenship, which is given to anyone born on U.S. soil. Sixtyone percent of Trump supporters want to eliminate that right and a majority said undocumented children should be deported. This is somewhat bizarre. We aren’t experiencing an immigrant crime wave. In fact, according to a July report by the American Immigration Council, immigrants are less likely than the nativeborn to engage in either violent or nonviolent “anti-social” behavior. Trump claims the immigration situation is “completely out of control.” However, data by the Pew Research Center shows that Mexican undocumented immigrants living in the U.S. declined by 1 million, from the 6.9 million peak in 2007 to 5.9 million in 2012. Net migration from Mexico dropped to zero in 2010, and since then more see ANDERSON Page 10

been exposed for what they are — bold faced attempts by corporate elites to subvert democracies the world over in the name of ever greater profit. It is time to say enough is enough. The fight over final passage of the TPP will likely be decided by the next President. We need a President representing Americans, not corporations. U.S. President hopeful Bernie Sanders, Independent Senator from Vermont would be such a President. Senator Sanders has fought tirelessly for working families for decades. He champions a living wage, paid sick leave, free college tuition and taxing Wall Street. He opposed fast track and opposes the TPP. His growing campaign recently drew a standing-room only crowd in Denver. Hundreds of thousands of supporters are making donations, and his poll numbers are steadily climbing.

Vote for?

With the presidential field growing daily, voters would be wise to keep past performance in mind. Do we want our president to be a recently resigned board member of a multi-national corporate entity that profited from yet another war? See: Barclays, The Carlyle Group, Halliburton, Blackwater, etc. etc. etc. (One could conclude that certain exboard members are trying to distance themselves from the associated death, destruction and greed necessary to show a profit.) Or do we want a president that helped usher in eight years of peace and prosperity in America? I vote for peace and prosperity. Tommy Holeman/Niwot

commentary ANDERSON from Page 8

Mexicans have left the United States than have arrived. Immigration enforcement swallows up half of the country’s entire law enforcement budget. The border patrol’s budget has risen tenfold since 1970, to almost $4 billion. Border patrol personnel have doubled since 2004. There are 700 miles of walls at the Mexican border backed by sophisticated surveillance towers, cameras and more than 12,000 motion sensors. The agents have drones, Blackhawk helicopters and armed personnel carriers. The once-thin border with Mexico, Canada and both coasts has been extended 100 miles inland and now covers places where two-thirds of the U.S. population (197.4 million people) live. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) calls it a “constitution-free zone.” Princeton sociologist Douglas Massey says the evidence shows that all the money spent on border enforcement “is worse than useless — it’s counterproductive.” He argues that the “militarization of the border” has made it harder for immigrant workers to go back home as they did before the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act was passed. New York Times reporter Eduardo Porter explains: “What was once a pendular flow of Mexican men coming

north to do seasonal work in a handful of states and returning to Mexico in the winter became a permanent community of full-fledged families that settled across the 48 contiguous states.” A recent study by Massey and other scholars estimates that the tightening of border enforcement since 1986 has ironically added 4 million people to the population of undocumented immigrants living in the U.S. in 2010. Trump insists he can “easily” deport 11 million people if he becomes President. Certainly mass deportations have happened before. During the Great Depression, counties and cities in several states forced Mexican immigrants and their families to leave the United States. Around 500,000 to 1 million Mexican immigrants and Mexican-Americans were pushed out of the country. People were rounded up in public places and frequently without any official proceedings. About 60 percent of those who left were American citizens, according to various studies. Many families lost most of their possessions. Neighborhoods in cities such as Houston, San Antonio and Los Angeles were emptied out. What Trump proposes to do would be much worse than the 1930s deportations. This is unbelievable.

news

t the beginning of August, the Obama Administration released its Clean Power Plan, which targets carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel-fired power plants. Since then, proponents of the plan in Colorado agree that the state is well on its way to meeting the emission reductions. In fact, Western Resource Advocates, a Boulder-based group dedicated to protecting the West’s land, water and air, estimates that “Colorado is currently on track to achieve over 85 percent of the reductions required to meet the interim goal in the Clean Power Plan, and approximately 70 percent of the emissions reductions required by the final goal.” But while this may be true for the electric power sector, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) released the Colorado greenhouse gas inventory late last year that estimates total greenhouse gas emissions are still continuing to increase rather than fall. Meaning, Colorado is actually getting futher away from the 2007 Colorado Climate Action Plan goals. To calculate the inventory, CDPHE used 2010 emission data and the Environmental Protection Agency’s state inventory tool to project Colorado’s overall emissions across all economic sectors for 2020 and 2030. The inventory takes into account the electric power sector, as well as oil and gas production, agriculture, transportation and waste management among others. Although the inventory shows greenhouse gas emissions from the electric power sector remaining fairly constant in the coming decades, other sectors, such as residential, industrial and commercial fuel use and oil and gas systems, are projected to increase. The end result is an overall continued rise of Colorado greenhouse gas emissions in the foreseeable future. Ironically, the greenhouse gas inventory was released as directed by former Gov. Bill Ritter’s 2008 executive order, which followed his 2007 Climate Action Plan, both of which call for a 20 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from the 2005 levels by 2020 and an 80 percent reduction by 2050 across the state. In more tangible terms, this statewide goal would mean an emission level of 98.4 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (a common measurement of greenhouse Boulder Weekly

Critics have always viewed these goals as over-optimistic considering the lack of concrete policies in place at the time, one would at least expect the inventory to demonstrate some level of greenhouse gas emission reductions. Instead, the inventory shows an emission increase from 2005 to 2010 from 123 million metric tons to 130. Furthermore, it projects emissions levels of 134 in 2020, representing an 8.9 percent increase rather than the 20 percent decrease called for in the Ritter plan. One major flaw of the greenhouse gas inventory is that it fails to consider state policies and legislation that have been enacted since 2010. “We took the EPA tool, we cus-

tomized it to fit Colorado as best we could but there are some limitations to it that prevented us from including all of the state actions,” says Chris Colclasure, CDPHE air pollution division planning and policy manager. “So it reflects some of the benefits from the renewable energy standard but not all of it. It does not reflect any of the benefits of the Clean Air Clean Jobs Act, which will make a significant change in how we produce energy. And it does not have the benefits of our 2014 air quality rulemaking that limits emissions of methane and volatile organic compounds from the oil and gas sector. So those are some pretty significant ongoing actions that will reduce emissions in Colorado that are not shown in the inventory.” When asked how Colorado’s emis-

sions measure up in light of these programs, Colclasure couldn’t give a definite answer. He says that information will be reflected in the next greenhouse gas inventory, scheduled for 2019 or possibly sooner from another source. “We’re hoping that we’ll see the benefits of these programs in data that’s compiled by the United States Energy Information Agency as well, and that data could come out sooner,” Colclasure says. Big energy companies do report their emissions to the Public Utilities Commission and according to that data Colclasure says “5.5 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions [were] prevented because of the Clean Air Clean Jobs Act and the renewable energy standards See INVENTORY Page 13

in the year 2012.â€? Plus, the inventory doesnâ€™t factor in the Clean Power Plan, which Colclasure says will drive large reductions from the largest source category: fossil fuel-burning power plants. He is also confident that Colorado will meet the standards set forward by the plan. Regardless, Colclasure says that with a growing population and growing economy, the state does project greenhouse gas emissions in Colorado to continue to rise, although the rate of emissions per person is decreasing. â€œIf the total population grows, that offsets the benefits of these programs to some extent,â€? he says. â€œThe more people you have the more emissions you will have, even if each person is emitting less.â€? These emissions come in the form of transportation (more people, more cars), increased residential energy use in addition to the growing number of natural gas and oil facilities throughout the state. Thousands of additional oil and gas wells are expected over the next 20 years. â€œThe inventory relied on the best available data and modeling tool at the time it was developed. Population growth and economic growth does lead to increased emissions,â€? Colclasure concludes. â€œBut there are a number of state-level programs and national programs taking effect as we speak.â€? Stacy Tellinghuisen, senior energy/ water policy analyst from Western Resource Advocates, says the inventory is most likely dated for Colorado and does not represent the progress the state has made. â€œItâ€™s probably a very useful tool for evaluating current emissions and historical trends, but the electricity industry is in such a dynamic transition right now, that it likely doesnâ€™t project future emissions well,â€? she says. According to Western Resource Advocates, emissions from the electric power sector are projected to decrease in the coming years, not simply remain steady as the inventory estimates. However, Tellinghuisen estimates they

will start to rise again in 2022. Regardless, it remains confusing to continually hear Colorado is doing well with emission reductions and then see the official state projections predicting an increase. â€œIt sort of makes it sound like the left hand isnâ€™t talking to the right hand,â€? Tellinghuisen says. She advises using the greenhouse gas inventory with caution, although she wasnâ€™t able to release concrete emission numbers from her research or comment on other sectors of greenhouse gas emissions outside of electric power. The bottom line is we are nowhere near meeting state targets of reducing overall emissions by 20 percent by 2020. While the state says the greenhouse gas inventory projections arenâ€™t accurate, itâ€™s the only concrete data they have to refer to. In his critique of the inventory, Kevin Cross from Fort Collins Sustainability Group admits it doesnâ€™t take into consideration Clean Air Clean Jobs, or the renewable portfolio standards that have passed since 2010. His group calculates that if these two factors were considered, emissions could possibly drop by 4 million metric tons, lowering the 2020 projections to 130. However, this is still a 5.7 percent increase over the 2005 levels, as opposed to the 20 percent decrease required by the Climate Action Plan. And they are only rough estimates, Cross says. â€œAs citizens of the state of Colorado we really need to be asking the CDPHE to do better in tracking our emissions, and we certainly need to ask our entire state government to put a plan together and get us back on track.â€? While state agencies and stakeholders continue to say Colorado is ahead of the nation in implementing policy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and that we are well on our way to meeting reduction goals, state-released information and projections of greenhouse gas emissions beg the question: Is Colorado really on the right track to reduce emissions?

Current plans to manage water needs in northern Colorado could cut the Cache La Poudre River by 66 percent.

Fort Collins rejects plan to drain Poudre River for northern Colorado water needs by Matt Cortina

he City Council of Fort Collins passed a resolution last week that formally declares their opposition to a water management plan that would divert massive amounts of water from the Poudre River and create one or two new reservoirs in northern Colorado. The resolution outlines numerous issues with the current plan (Northern Integrated Supply Project, or NISP) and the way environmental, financial and civic impacts have been assessed in the latest Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Study (SDEIS) completed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Several dozen people stood to speak at the meeting on Sept. 1, almost unanimously agreeing with the Council’s opinion that they are unable “to support NISP as currently described in the SDEIS,” and do “support … further improvement of the SDEIS and, ultimately, the conceptual mitigation plan.” Indeed, Fort Collins isn’t against some sort of plan being worked up, and the Council made a point to say that the SDEIS showed marked improvement from the first Environmental Impact Study on the project in 2004. NISP is the product of a conglomerate of 15 water providers in the area, including the Fort Collins Loveland Water District, the cities of Lafayette and Frederick, and other water districts and municipalities. The group submitted a plan to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to secure that water, and in 2004 the Corps returned with the original impact study. The current plan, which Fort Collins rejected, 14 September 10, 2015

includes the construction of two reservoirs, the Glade and Galeton reservoirs, which would have a combined capacity of about 200,000 acre-feet. The water would be pumped into the reservoirs via a canal built from the Poudre. Environmental groups like Save the Poudre have jumped in to protest NISP, citing concerns with everything from the environmental impact that effectively draining the Poudre River by up to 66 percent would have, to the fact that the Army Corps of Engineers didn’t perform due diligence in their SDEIS. Conservation and efficiency of water use, ideas that Save the Poudre says would be viable alternatives to the reservoirs, was a key tenet of a plan ultimately dismissed by the Army Corps. But the weight that Fort Collins’ opposition throws into the battle is a blow to the project’s proponents who were hoping for an expedient outcome. It may also be the last time the City is able to comment on the project, they believe. In this resolution, the City Council outlined what they say is the key issue: draining the Poudre River more than nature already does will damage it permanently. “The Poudre River literally dries up at certain times of the year in Fort Collins because of upstream diversions; and furthermore, its flows through town have been reduced by approximately two-thirds of historical, pre-water development flows,” the City writes in its summary. “NISP would reduce flows by an additional 21 percent … . These significant flow reductions are damaging to the long-term health of

the River because flows are the single-most important factor in sustaining habitat as well as a river channel that can handle flood events, among other values.” Adding onto that thought, the City takes issue with the Corps’ “overall narrative,” that no matter what happens with NISP, damage to the Poudre River is inevitable and irreversible. “The health of the Poudre River can be stabilized, maintained and improved through deliberate, thoughtful and strategic actions similar to those the City has been taking,” the City writes. The City also points out that NISP will only meet the demands of the 15 participants until 2030, when a new plan is going to need to be devised to supply more water. Fort Collins’ opposition to the SDEIS came down to several key points: the lack of a no-action alternative, water quality concerns, overall river health, fish and wildlife sustainability, air quality and recreation. First, the lack of a no-action alternative violates rules the Corps must follow in impact studies. A noaction alternative provides the basis against which all plans are judged financially, environmentally and civically. To be considered a true “no-action alternative,” it must not depend on a federal permit or construction (that is, action), and the Corps’ current plan does require a federal permit. The next big issue Fort Collins takes with NISP is water quality. First, they are concerned that reducing water flow through the City by as much as 66 Boulder Weekly

percent in peak months could drastically affect how they can treat wastewater. Small changes to water quantity and temperature “can have significant impacts to both compliance with stream standards and the bottom line of Fort Collins.” The City also points out that diversion of water from the Poudre River would undermine efforts they have made to improve the health of the fish population and national environment. Trout populations would decrease due to the lack of “flushing flows,” which are natural river surges that support the trout’s life cycle. And the last point about water is that NISP could substantially affect drinking water, or at least, bring quality down. Fort Collins gets to this conclusion by saying that water diverted elsewhere, and not through the city’s current system, will require more resources (which the City may not have) to adequately treat water. “If Glade Reservoir water is of poorer quality, which is expected due to the size and composition of the project, the quality of the City’s water supplies obtained through the PVP will be degraded and may require additional treatment costs associated with total organic carbon (TOC) and solids removal,” the City writes. The City also notes that recreation, a major draw for the area, could be greatly reduced by a diversion of Poudre River water. They estimate that the days on which kayaks, canoes and tubes can traverse the river would be reduced by 50 percent.

And, the City claims that pumping water to new reservoirs would consume a lot of electricity, even though the plan Fort Collins supports (to divert water downstream from Fort Collins to another new reservoir) would require as much, if not more power. Eric Wilkinson, general manager at Northern Water, issued a statement expressing dismay at Fort Collins’ decision not to support the plan as it is currently laid out. “NISP participants have spent $12 million on the detailed SDEIS process,” Wilkinson wrote. “Under the direction of the Army Corps of Engineers, several expertly qualified independent consultants have thoroughly studied all aspects of NISP as reflected by the funding provided by the NISP participants to complete those studies. Two different consultant teams have independently studied the issues surrounding water and wastewater treatment and have concluded that NISP will have little to no impact on the City of Fort Collins’ operations. As a result of these efforts, we had sincerely hoped that staff would have had a more favorable opinion of those analyses and of the SDEIS as a whole.” Now the Army Corps will begin work on a final environmental impact study, with a pending completion date sometime in 2016. A final permit decision on the project has a deadline of 2017, but Gary Wockner of Save the Poudre says it could be another 10 years before a final determination is made about the fate of NISP.

Covering science news around Boulder by Travis Metcalfe

ince the end of World War II, Boulder has been transformed from a sleepy college town to a Mecca for scientists from around the world. Several years ago, Fiske Planetarium at the University of Colorado (CU) began collaborating with the Boulder Weekly to publish a monthly “Lab Notes” column covering recent science news from a local perspective. The initial articles tackled misconceptions about climate change and evaluated the potential for life in the universe, but then the column quietly disappeared. This month we are pleased to announce the resurrection of the series for at least one year with support from White Dwarf Research Corporation, a local nonprofit organization dedicated to scientific research and public education. With four government labs around Boulder, many of the scientific discoveries that make the news have some connection to local researchers. Harvard astrophysicist Walter Orr Roberts brought the High Altitude Observatory to Boulder in the late 1940s, expanding in 1960 to establish the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) was created in 1970 by Richard Nixon, but its predecessor (the Central Radio Propagation Laboratory) had been operating here since the early 1950s. The National Bureau of Standards was also in town back then, but it wasn’t renamed the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) until 1988. Jimmy Carter established the Solar Energy Research Institute in 1974, which became the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in 1991 under George H.W. Bush. The labs have been like a magnet for scientists, who were attracted to Boulder and quickly discovered that

they couldn’t leave. As this army of Ph.Ds piled higher and deeper over the decades, new research institutes and non-profit organizations were established to absorb them. The Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics ( JILA) was formed in 1962 by NIST and CU. The National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) came to town in 1976 and began operating with sup-

proposals to make a living, I finally realized what I missed most about my dream job at NCAR. One of my responsibilities as a staff scientist at a federally-funded laboratory was to share my enthusiasm for science with the general public. I took this obligation seriously, writing a monthly column on starstuff.blogspot.com to explain the latest scientific discoveries in the simplest terms, and to provide more context and background than is typically offered in the news. Over the next year I hope to do something similar for the monthly articles in the Lab Notes series, with a special focus on the cutting-edge research that is being done right here in Boulder. Science journalism is on the decline across the media landscape, and even where it persists the reporters have very little background in science. Some of the labs around town have offices to issue press releases and to connect their scientists to journalists. For the government labs these offices are sometimes headquartered in Washington D.C., while the smaller local research institutes may not have the resources to support media outreach. Only the largest news organizations have staff assigned specifically to cover science, so even these limited efforts tend to be directed at national outlets. Local connections can be lost in the shuffle. Even in the best cases, many scientists have a hard time articulating their research at a level that the public can appreciate, and journalists have difficulty translating complex results into simple language. Boulder is home to a wealth of scientific expertise, and it would be a shame not to make it more accessible to everyone in our community. Travis Metcalfe, Ph.D., is a researcher and science communicator based in Boulder.

port from NOAA and CU in 1982. Grant-funded researchers at CU created the Center for Astrophysics and Space Astronomy (CASA) in 1985, while several non-profit organizations sprouted up in the 1990s around similar concepts: Space Science Institute (SSI) in 1992, a division of Southwest Research Institute (SWRI) in 1994, and a branch of Northwest Research Associates (NWRA) in 1998. Boulder now boasts the largest number of PhDs per capita of any city in the nation, at 8.2 percent in 2012. I am one of the many scientists who came to Boulder and decided to stay. I arrived in 2004 to work at NCAR with a fellowship from the National Science Foundation. I was hired as a staff scientist two years later, and I spent the next six years working to understand the structure and dynamics of the sun using observations of other nearby stars. In 2012, when the full impact of the Great Recession finally hit the government, I lost my dream job to federal budget cuts. As local scientists have been doing for decades, I stayed in town and supported my research by writing grant proposals — in my case primarily to NASA. In the past few years, I have been using the Kepler space telescope to study planetary systems around other stars. After several years of writing grant

However, the new machinery, by the burning of fossil fuels, added new sources of greenhouse gases and increased emissions. After the ’30s, farmers also started using fertilizer, the production of which burns natural gas and coal. And adding fertilizer increased the nitrous oxide emissions as well. Plus, according to the census data, the number of beef cattle increased 120 percent form 1935 to 1970 alone, and it has continued to increase ever since, mainly driven by the meat industry. This has only added to greenhouse gas emissions in the form of methane. But using this data allowed Parton and the team to also study best management practices to reduce emissions from the agriculture sector. “We know what we’re doing and we know how much better we can be,” Parton says. These practices don’t actually suggest reducing the use of tractors, the production of fertilizer or number of animals in the agricultural sector but rather they create a system so that the greenhouse gases are recaptured in the soil to offset the emissions released in the atmosphere, Parton explains. “The losses of greenhouse gases from producing fertilizer, the tractors and the cattle could be completely eliminated by storing carbon in the soil, for example using no-till,” he says. “Over 60 percent of potential benefit the way we calculated it comes from this no-till.” No-till is an agricultural technique that doesn’t disturb the soil year to year but rather leaves the old plant residue on the surface of the field, which actu-

ally increases water retention and nutrients. The downside is no-till has the potential to create more weeds which then require the spraying of herbicides. The study also suggests using slow-release fertilizers, which reduces the amount of fertilizer farmers need to apply, therefore reducing the nitrous oxide emissions. Other possibile management practices are altering feed and using injections to reduce methane released from cattle and other animals. However, these can be difficult to implement and aren’t cost effective for the farmers without significant subsidies. Parton estimates a 24 percent reduction of greenhouse gas emissions if only 25 percent of farmers in the Great Plains adopt these best management practices. A 75 percent increase in adoption rates could result in a 102 percent reduction in emissions. Given that less than 5 percent of the greenhouse gases from agricultural practices are from the Great Plains, still more research is needed to significantly reduce emissions from the agriculture sector nationwide. But Parton is hoping the CSU study is replicated in other regions throughout the country in order to determine best management practices that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the agricultural sector all together. “In the Great Plains this is the unique set of things we can do here,” he concludes. “The bigger picture is that all of agriculture could substantially reduce greenhouse gases if they use their best management practices.”

Colorado ranks eighth for the capacity of its solar infrastructure, according to a new report from the Environment Colorado Research and Policy Center. The state has 398 megawatts of total capacity, or 74 watts per person. The state did not keep pace with new installation, however, installing 67 megawatts in the last year, ranking it 13th for growth in the sector. The United States solar industry achieved record growth in 2014, installing almost 7,000 megawatts of solar capacity, a 34 percent increase. This growth was led by an unprecedented 51 percent increase in residential installations, followed by a 38 percent increase in utility installations. The United States currently has Wikimedia Commons/ Fernando Tomás 20,500 megawatts of cumulative capacity, enough to power 4 million average U.S. homes. “Our analysis shows that policy choices are a key driver of solar energy growth,” said Gideon Weissman of Frontier Group, report co-author, in a press release. “State and local government policy leadership is closely aligned with success in growing solar energy.” Policy plays a key role in enabling the industry to generate the demand to achieve critical economies of scale. Since the beginning of 2010, the average cost of solar PV panels has dropped more than 60 percent. Drivers for growth in the solar industry include energy resiliency and diversification, but they are mainly attributable to the environmental benefits of solar technology. Even when emissions from manufacturing, transportation and installation of solar panels are included, solar power produces 96 percent less global warming pollution than a coal-fired power plant over its entire life-cycle. —Sarah Haas

SEPTEMBER 2013 STORMS ARE A MASSIVE EROSION EVENT

The historic 2013 September floods brought a year of rain in five days, displacing the equivalent of hundreds to a thousand years of sediment, according to a recent study from researchers at the University of Colorado. The findings contrast with the slow long-term erosion rate for the area, about two-tenths of an inch per century. Such a minute rate is not observable and the aftermath of the floods provided an opportunity for researchers to directly measure sediment movement. The large storm generated over 1,100 landslides of which the researchers examined 120 over a 39-square-mile area west of Boulder. The individual landslides studied ranged from small (around 350 cubic feet of sediment removed) to large (about 740,000 cubic feet removed). Large landslides grow bigger and gain speed as Courtesy National Park Service they sweep down slopes, incorporating additional water and sediment and creating fast-moving debris flows that leave a lasting impression on the landscape. “We estimated the velocities of some of these debris flows at about 10 meters per second, which is as fast as sprinter Usain Bolt runs,” said Suzanne Anderson, a research fellow at the Institute for Alpine and Arctic Research (INSTAAR), and co-author of the new study in a press release. “They’re incredibly destructive because they happen so quickly and there’s no warning system once a flow is triggered.” The findings of the study, published in Geology, suggest that erosion is not always a slow and steady process, but it may occur as large events, like the September 2013 storms. This finding also complicates the application of published erosion rates used in geologic timelines of the Front Range. —Sarah Haas

It’s a path he details in his bestselling book Out There: A Story of Ultra Recovery, where he talks about regaining his life from the hold of addiction. Clark had his first experience with alcohol at age 13; from then on he continued to struggle with alcohol on and off for years. In the late ’90s, despite being a successful businessman with a wife and twins, Clark was still medicating himself with alcohol and pills.

He slowly realized that, if he stayed on this path, his kids would have to figure out why their father drank himself to death. On Aug. 5, 2005 Clark finally got sober. “I can think of a hundred other mornings that should have been my last day,” he says. “But there was just this sense, this awareness, this consciousness that I was so far down the rabbit hole that one more step might be too far. “I was passively attempting suicide. I’d take seven painkillers at night, drunk out of my mind, before I went to bed. I was trying to kill myself, but I would say, ‘Eh, worst case scenario, I don’t wake up. You know, roll the dice, whatever.’ I was in the place where I was giving up.” Clark pauses, his voice slightly cracking and tears glistening in his eyes. “I didn’t like that.

ishing in around 40th place, finishing eight hours ahead of the cutoff.” A few weeks later, in his fifth event, he did the Leadville 100. His latest undertaking is to run 343 laps (85 miles) on Monarch High School’s track on September 11th, in honor of every firefighter lost at ground zero 14 years ago. Originally from New York, Clark hopes to use this opportunity to pay tribute to America and those who serve. In the coming months he has a 24-hour treadmill run for the Addiction Recovery Center in Georgia, then he wants to run the bases of a baseball stadium for 24 hours. There’s still some wiggle room for the remaining events, and that’s how Clark wants it. He says the experience has evolved organically, crafting it as he goes along. “I wanted to do something different,” he says. “For me, running can’t always be about going farther or going faster. That’s a zero sum game; you can never win that. That being said I always want to push the envelope, always searching for something. But the journey has turned a little more inward.” His ultimate goal with the project is to be more present. As an addict, Clark says he spent too much time regretting the past or concerned with the future. In reality the only moment that matters is the current one at hand. Concentrating on the present is a helpful principle in sobriety and in running. “You can’t think, ‘Well there’s a huge hill at mile 80,’ when you’re on mile 2,” he says with a laugh. “As a coach, I see it all the time when you have these ultra races with big climbs, like Hope Pass at Leadville. No one ever quits on Hope Pass. People quit right before it, because it’s the thought of going over it that kills them. It’s never the hill that kills them. Get on the fucking hill, and if you can’t get over it, then there’s honor in that. There’s no honor in quitting before you even try.” Clark is consistently improving his mindset, finding peace in his everyday life and understanding that this will always be an ongoing process. He knows there’s no such thing as “recovered,” and he doesn’t have all the answers. And he’ll keep on questioning the answers he does have. “Every sober year and on New Year’s Day, we get a group together to go to some peak or do some run, and [during that] I always think, ‘365 days from today I’ll have a different understanding [of myself ] than I do today’,” he says. “There’s something compelling about the person who argues emotionally with what they believe. The true genius comes from those who say, ‘I don’t know, but I’ll figure it out.’” Boulder Weekly

Adventure Calendar In search of the ineffable, inescapable story Reel Rock climbs above the crop by Michael J. Casey

ur stories have to be deeper, they have to have something special, they have to have that filmic quality about it, and that’s actually a lot of pressure on us, to make these stories feel big and something just different than you would see online,” Peter Mortimer tells Boulder Weekly. Mortimer, co-founder of the Reel Rock film tour, is a man with a laser focus. Currently gearing up for another ascent, Mortimer is doing his best to remain ahead of the curve. “I think our angle is definitely more fun. We would like people to walk out [of Reel Rock] inspired,” Mortimer continues. “We want the end result to be like you want to go out there, you want to rock climb, you want to go to the mountains.” Founded in 2006 by Mortimer and Josh Lowell, the Reel Rock film tour is an annual showcase of the biggest stories and characters in the climbing world. This year’s edition opens on Sept. 17 at Chautauqua Auditorium with five films destined to accomplish Mortimer’s goals: A Line in the Sky, Dawn Wall: First Look, Showdown at Horseshoe Hell, High and Might and a Dean Potter tribute. Each film is wrapped in inspiration, community and story, which has been at the core of Reel Rock since its debut. As the climbing world exploded into the mainstream, Mortimer knew that for Reel Rock to remain relevant, he had to find a way to stay ahead of the pack. The answer: embrace story and the characters at the heart of that story. And there are few greater characters in the climbing world than Alex Honnold. “With Alex Honnold, we did a piece, Alone on the Wall [REEL ROCK 2009],” Mortimer says. “That got developed into a National Geographic TV series ... and ON THE BILL: Reel Rock then we produced the piece on him for 10. Sept. 17 & 18, 7:30 p.m. 60 Minutes and that really made Chautauqua Auditorium [Honnold] a breakout sensation.” 900 Baseline Road, Boulder, Charismatic, affable and irreverent, 303-442-3282. Tickets start at Honnold is the perfect subject for $17. www.chautauqua.com Mortimer’s story-centric mission of Reel Rock, and Reel Rock 10’s centerpiece, A Line in the Sky, documents Honnold and Tommy Caldwell’s ascent of the Fitz Roy Traverse in Patagonia, Argentina. “[A Line in the Sky] is Alex Honnold and Tommy Caldwell, the Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan of our generation of climbers,” Mortimer gushes. “These guys are just one in a billion individuals: incredible athletes, completely bold, totally dedicated.” A series of seven peaks that Patagonia Clothing uses as their logo, Mortimer describes the Fitz Roy traverse as the “most iconic line on the planet Earth.” “People have dreamed about it,” Mortimer says. “And these guys go down in a six-day push and do the thing.” Mortimer provided Honnold and Caldwell with cameras and told them to bring back footage, but both were more focused on the climb than documenting the climb, which ultimately worked in Mortimer’s favor. “[It] was this incredible insight into the what it’s like for those two guys to be in this incredibly dangerous, perilous situation,” Mortimer says. “But these guys are completely joyous the whole time. They’re having the time of their lives. They’re making fun of themselves, goofing around, it’s just some of the most fun stuff to watch that I’ve ever seen come back from a film shoot.” Mortimer and company bolstered the raw footage with aerial photography, reenactments and interviews to shape the climb into a cohesive story. These additions transform A Line in the Sky from a home movie into a narrative that anyone can engage with. “I think people on both sides — people on the mainstream media and from the core community — look at Reel Rock as a place to go for the next big stories from the climbing world,” Mortimer says.

Despite losing his home, Danny Shafer didn’t let 2013’s historic flood stop him from doing what he loves: making music and sharing it with folks.

Coming home again

Danny Shafer puts out a new record on the two-year anniversary of losing his Lyons home in the flood by Amanda Moutinho

hen the disastrous flood of 2013 ripped through Lyons, local musician Danny Shafer and his family had to immediately evacuate their home, escaping in just enough time to grab pets and Shafer’s guitar. That same guitar graces the cover of Shafer’s fifth solo album Weddings, Floods and Funerals. The album, which, coincidentally, came out on the two-year anniversary of losing his home, is the result of the hard work Shafer did putting his life back together. “I knew you had to keep on moving no matter what you’re going through — keep on working and showing up all the time,” he says. “I’ve seen other people do it, so why not me? It was just my turn to do that.” Not even in the heat of the moment did Shafer take a break. “The day we evacuated from our house in Lyons, I got a call that a band had cancelled downtown, and I went and played a full-length gig,” he says. “The whole band showed up and played. We did what we do. I think that’s really important to create, to keep on doing shows, while having all kind of different experiences in my personal life. That’s what this record is about.” It has been a tough two years for Shafer, full of milestones. First Shafer and his wife celebrated their wedding. But a few weeks later, the see HOME AGAIN Page 32

Floods and Funerals. In his work, his inspiration sprouts from the small everyday moments that most people overlook. “My music is about capturing a moment and making it into a song and holding on to those moments and holding on to that time,” he says. “There’s a lot on this record about first times and home and small towns.” Shafer draws a lot of his subject matter from small towns. Growing up in a big city, Shafer’s perspectives started to shift after moving to Gold Hill 10 years ago, then eventually to Lyons. “Coming straight from Chicago and landing in small town life was a shock to my system,” he says. “It’s taught me more about people than living in a big city ever did. “You can’t hide. You really are a part of people’s lives in a small town. We take part each other’s lives, with the kids and at the school and at the coffee house or at the post office or if their car doesn’t start. It’s much more meaningful than the anonymity of a big city.” It’s that exact homey feeling that Shafer sincerely hopes Lyons retains. He says he knows it’s a complicated issue, but he feels there’s still a lot more to be done to rebuild the town. He misses the tight-knit community and desperately wants the return of all his neighbors and displaced citizens. The hometown, personal touch is a building block of Shafer’s music. It’s immersed in a handmade, familiar feeling that Shafer strives to capture in every song. “I hope to be genuine, and I hope to get it across in the music,” Shafer says. “I try to write simple songs. I don’t want to be a complicated human being. I want to be easily relatable.” Above all, from this past two years, Shafer is grateful to be restoring his life, and he is thankful to be doing what he loves. Not everything is back to normal, yet as his family continues to recoup, their freshly planted roots continue to grow stronger. “Even though I’m a musician, and I’ve spent a lot of my life driving from place to place playing, I love the feeling of home,” he says. “I love the feeling of knowing that I have something consistent. I have a home base that allows me to go out there. I like the feeling of travel but of knowing where I really belong. I have that now. I know who I belong with and where I belong. I’m a very lucky person to know those two things.” Boulder Weekly

Butterman chose the Ravel Shelley Mosman Suite to pair with Fujiwara’s piece, to make the first half of the concert all about storytelling. Ravel wrote the Mother Goose Suite first as a piano duet for two young pianists he knew, then later arranged it for orchestra. Each of the five movements illustrates a well-known tale. “Fujiwara talks about how she’s drawing on Japanese folk tales, but she’s also dedicating this to her father and her grandfather, who she calls the greatest storytellers she’s ever known,” he says. “Ravel was a bit of a storyteller to these two young kids, Gabriela Montero has been hailed all over the country for her superb piano skills. before he wrote the piano works for them.

Wetherbee commissioned The The program will feature music that Storyteller, which is in effect a concerto tells stories, two soloists with their own for the violin, for performance at the stories, and one great concerto that is a National Gallery in Washington, D.C. story in itself. Butterman will conduct He knew Fujiwara and her works, since Ravel’s Mother Goose Suite; The they both play in the Carpe Diem Storyteller for violin and orchestra, String Quartet — he’s a violinist and inspired by Japanese folk tales and writ- she’s the violist. ten by Korine Fujiwara for the orches“I wanted a composer who could tra’s concertmaster, Charles Wetherbee; write in a manner that was accessible

across the broadest possible spectrum,” he says, “and I also wanted a piece that was well written for the instrument. I thought that Fujiwara would be the right choice (for both).” Fujiwara explains that the violin represents the storyteller himself at times, and at other times portrays characters and voices from different Japanese tales. “The very first notes are solo violin,” she says. “They are representative of the storyteller starting to spin this magical world.” The movements do not correspond to individual tales, as in the Ravel suite, but many different magical characters are represented in the score. “There’s a lot of talking animals,” Fujiwara says. “Sparrows who have great kingdoms, magical warriors who spring to life out of peaches, little boys 3 inches tall who have runny noses and bring gifts, foxes that talk and peapods that turn into badgers. In my mind’s eye, they’re all lined up and ready to do battle.” When she was hearing the tales as a girl, Fujiwara noticed that women were often not treated well. When she came to compose the slow movement, “I imagined that I would write music for all of those maligned women,” she says. “I thought I would write a beautiful movement for them.” Among the stories Fujiwara incorporates into The Storyteller are “The Cicada and the Daishi Sama,” “The Tongue-cut Sparrow,” “Momotaro the Peach Boy” and “The Toothpick Warriors.” Rachmaninoff ’s Second Piano Concerto is one of the best-known

showpieces in the repertoire, but the story behind it may be less familiar. The composer’s First Symphony had not been well received, and he was for many years deeply depressed. It was only after he was treated by hypnosis that he returned to composition with the Second Concerto, which rescued his reputation as both composer and pianist. Montero comes to Boulder fresh from having recorded the concerto with conductor Carlos Miguel Prieto, who many will recall as a guest conductor at the Colorado Music Festival in the summer of 2014. The recording also includes Montero playing three improvisations at the piano (Orchid Classics and iTunes download). An accomplishment that few pianists strive for today, live improvisation has become Montero’s trademark as a performer. She often performs improvisations as an encore, developing melodies suggested by members of the audience. “It’s my sincere hope that will happen in Boulder,” Butterman says, “because it’s spectacular. “What amazes me is (her improvisations) are contrapuntal. That kind of work with independent voices that are melodically and harmonically weaving with one another in a way that makes sense — that absolutely boggles my mind.” How Montero developed a skill that was commonplace in the age of Bach and Mozart, but more recently neglected, might be another story indeed. Or in the spirit of the Boulder Phil’s 2015-16 season, something to reflect upon.

Two years after the heartbreaking floods, Lyons is coming together to celebrate the resilience of the city through art, music and community. During MOSAIC: Celebrating Lyons III, Sounds of Lyons and the Clarifier Project will join up to provide a day full of activities for all. The Clarifier, an old wastewater treatment tank that was converted into a piece of mosaic art, stands as a symbol of Lyons’ survival. Barely harmed by the flood, it now tells a deeper story and serves as a good place to celebrate and remember the hardships of the town. For a full schedule of events go to clarifierproject.net.

Having been bitten by a rabid bat I was trying to save from a fire, I’d prefer never again to see bats up close. And here, in this poem by D.R. Goodman, who lives in California, I get to watch them from a safe distance. — Ted Kooser U.S. Poet Laureate

Exiting the Night By living late, and sleeping late, we miss the moment when the bats come home to roost— when crooked shadows flit in jagged loops that seem to seek the chimney, seem to miss, then somehow disappear into the eaves; and they (the bats) tuck wing to fur to wing in crevices and roof-beam beveling, doze through our nearly diametric lives,

screen Trial and terror

When an experiment goes bad by Ryan Syrek

ou only hear about a psychological experiment if it goes really, really well or really, really bad. Guess how a simulation of prison using 20-something college students as both guards and inmates went? Writer Tim Talbott’s script strays little from a grand recreation of actual events, never coloring in context for key players or investigating what mental maladies may have been at work within the participants. Director Kyle Patrick Alvarez mostly keeps the tension properly taut, even if the persecution feels a bit repetitive the umpteenth time a shaggy-haired dude is made to do pushups or jumping jacks. The experiment was undertaken by Dr. Philip Zimbardo (Billy Crudup), of whom The Stanford Prison Experiment adaptation reveals very little. We know he’s respected in his field and, for some reason, has a fixation on locking young men in small rooms. The interviews of potential participants was said to be exhaustive but plays on screen like a roomful of medical professionals asking, “You promise you’re not crazy, right?” The selectees are randomly divided into “guard” or “prisoner” roles; despite this, the guards are told they were “selected” based on their “exceptional” skills. It takes exactly a day for it to get a bit Attica up in that bitch. The guards strip the prisoners naked, put them in dresses and inform them they no longer have names, just numbers. Number 8612 (Ezra Miller) is the first to College students are both inmates and guards in The Standecide something ain’t ford Prison Experiment, based on a 1971 study. right. He leads a failed rebellion, which only emboldens one of the guards (Michael Angarano), who is full-on imitating Cool Hand Luke’s antagonist down to the accent. As the inmates begin to rapidly break and their captors get crueler, Zimbardo resists shutting it down because… science? Morality? Vanity? Stupidity. Let’s go with that. At the heart of the real Stanford Prison Experiment are fascinating questions the movie also asks but maddeningly also never answers. Were a few key guards simply social deviants who needed only opportunity to uncage their ON THE BILL: The inner savagery? Or, more hauntingly, is this really a Stanford Prison Experiment. Through Sept. 12, The case of normal, healthy people succumbing to evil Boedecker Theater, 2590 intentions with a small amount of (imagined) Walnut St., Boulder, 303power? Those are epic, thrilling inquiries, which 440-7826. makes this fictional recreation a breathless work. But within the parameters of that fiction, it would have been nice to see the creators suggest some kind of answer. If not, what’s the purpose of making a film that simply presents facts already in evidence? For example, Zimbardo seemingly has noble intentions, arguing the study was intended to “help” real-life convicts. If true, that colors the results. If false, it makes the study an exercise in dangerous narcissism. Speculation on that front was well within a filmmaker’s purview. The closest the film gets to offering significance is the final sequence, in which Angarano’s guard and Miller’s prisoner finally dialogue outside the “prison.” And yet, even that is a back-and-forth with little clarity. Ultimately, that is the legacy of both the film, The Stanford Prison Experiment, and Zimbardo’s real-life endeavor: A hazy, potentially troubling but ultimately unclear look into the fragile human psyche. This review first appeared in The Reader of Omaha, Neb.

film Cinema verboten

Germany confronts its painful past by Michael J. Casey

etween 1933 and 1945, Germany’s Third Reich produced 1,200 feature films, of which 300 were labeled propaganda by the Allies and banned from public screenings and distribution following the war. To this day, restrictions on 40 of these titles are still in place. What power do these films possess that they should never be seen? What does an institutional ban on artistic works say about Germany’s free democracy? Those questions — one verbalized, one alluded to — form the crux of Felix Moeller’s latest documentary, Forbidden Films, which looks at the 40 Nazi films still under government ban. Moeller places clips from the films alongside interviews with historians and cinema programmers in an attempt to understand what power they held and why that power remains. Hitler and his Minister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, were film nuts of the highest accord — Goebbels especially fancied himself a cinephile, even recording personal reviews in his diary. They loved cinema, the glitz and glam of rubbing elbows with actors, the power of the moving image and, most importantly, the vastness of the audience — 1 billion attendees in 1943. The highest grossing of the 40 forbidden, The Great Love, drew an audience of 29 million Germans, the same number of Germans who attended Titanic and Avatar combined. But these movies — anti-Semitic, anti-French, anti-British, pro-war, proeuthanasia — weren’t endless “Heils” rained Forbidden Films explores the 40 Nazi propaganda films still banned by the German government including the down on viewers, nor 1941 Homecoming by Gustav Ucicky. were they simply a visual compendium to the vitriol spewed from the Führer. These movies were crafted much like classic Hollywood cinema: compelling characters, lush cinematography, melodramatic flourishes and a strong narrative structure. The results are stunning and even to this day, audiences that see these movies are surprisingly moved, in most cases, against their better judgment. To capture this response, Moeller follows the movies as they are screened in Munich, Berlin, Paris and Jerusalem. These are controlled, contextualized screenings with a Q&A session following. After seeing the movies, some audience members agree they should be banned. These movies enflamed hate and resentment back then and they could do the same today. Others say no, ON THE BILL: Forbidden movies should not be censored in a free society. Films.

For more info dilection for burning books hangs over these internationalfilmseries.com. public debates. As does anti-Semitism, which rears its ugly head, although quietly, in the Q&A sessions. The most damning evidence is provided by two neo-Nazis, filmed in silhouette, who admit that they obtain the forbidden films via the Internet or right-wing vendors and use them to indoctrinate young recruits. There are no easy answers, and Moeller doesn’t try to provide one, though he seems to side with anti-censorship. There will be those that abuse these films and use them to further their own hateful positions, but censoring art does not stop these individuals from hating; it only fuels their rebellion. Instead, the public must confront the past head on, watching these dastardly works and considering them for what they are and represent. Cinema is an opportunity to try to understand the experiences of others. It’s not always pleasant, but it is necessary. Boulder Weekly

Susan France

es, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. This is how a proper deli sandwich looks and tastes. Yes. Let’s back up. To me, and perhaps to some of you, Your Butcher Frank was always the old school butcher with a funny name that you didn’t think Your Butcher to go to because, you Frank know, Whole Foods, 900 Coffman St., Lucky’s and King Soopers Longmont, 303-772-3281 sell pretty good meat and a whole lot more. The same reason I wasn’t willing to make the extra drive to Your Butcher Frank and give it a shot is the same reason why Wal-Mart and Target have been let off the leash and sicced on the American consumer, and why the natural grocer chains mentioned above have acquired the perception of a monopoly on quality meat and produce. That’s a dangerous perspective to get lulled into, of course, because it pushes out the expert and the other meats; they also have a deli that community staple — both roles that knows what it is doing. Let’s start in Your Butcher Frank serves in the butchery department. Longmont. I brought home a four-pack of Supporting these shops — these sweet Italian sausage and a little over a butchers, carnicerias, bakeries, ethnic pound of chuck roast. It’s an old groceries — is critical to the success of Italian-American kitchen tradition to a vibrant food community. And that’s put a slab of beef, like the roast, in a pot the end of the righteous bit of this with pureed or crushed tomatoes, garlic, review, because if you step into Your onion and let it cook down all day. I put Butcher Frank, you’ll see a steady, the sweet sausage in there, too, along healthy flow of regular patrons that with salt, fresh ground pepper, red pepdon’t need to be told to support their per flakes and a pinch of sugar. It sat in local butcher. a crock-pot for just over nine hours. In short, I’m the bozo. And so are The roast was falling apart when I you if you delay going to Your Butcher took it out.

Good as it gets

Your Butcher Frank in Longmont is still a superb meat and deli shop by Matt Cortina

into the sauce; a flavor that was spicy and slightly fatty, with a deep-seeded bite that separates run-of-the-mill, processed ham products from the true flavor of hog. Sometimes, the flavor of sub-par sausage can become subdued when cooked for so long; here, it amplified the sauce, and only got better over the next few days in the refrigerator. While those meats were cooking, I ate most of two deli sandwiches I brought home from Frank’s. First, the “yes” sandwich: Frank’s Italian sub. This Italian was about as good as it gets anywhere. Period. The bread is slightly chewy, with a thin but crunchy crust. There is a perfect proportion of bread to meat, which is to say the bread is the perfect foundation for the mountain of meat piled onto this sandwich.

WHO’S EATING AT THE WALNUT THIS WEEK?

The meat combo for this Italian was capicola (a spicy ham), cotto salami (partially cooked cured sausage, which enhances flavor) and pepperoni. Provolone, as is typical, was the cheese, and the veggies were a simple layering of fresh tomatoes, shredded lettuce, black olives and onions. It was all dressed in a light Italian dressing. So much about this sandwich is remarkable. First, they shred or tear the deli meat, which for some reason unlocks flavor and moisture. The science behind it actually says the more surface area on the deli meat, the more oxygen will hit it and thus more flavor. They also went two layers deep on provolone, and the meat was positively overflowing out of the hoagie roll. The meat depth was about the size of a baseball. Also, they didn’t go nuts on the toppings, understanding that the meat is the star of a deli sandwich, and the toppings are there for texture and moisture. That said, the black olives and Italian dressing are the two items you don’t always find on Italian subs, and they were wonderful here. And now I’m out of space to gush about the turkey club — an even more densely-packed meat parade where ham replaces the bacon, and two types of cheese are layered in. Another fantastic deli sandwich. Consider it an affirmation of a truth that’s easy to forget: if an off-the-path independent food maker is drawing customers away from the big stores in this day and age, it’s for a reason. So, go.

Moving up

On making the move from fine dining to casual curbside fare by Grace Boyle

im Payne is a busy man. Through his food business Farmer Girl, he’s a caterer, runs a food truck, hosts farm and pop-up dinners, and he just opened a stand in Avanti’s food hall and eatery in Denver. Glancing at his portfolio, the concepts are mobile and casual, yet diversified. However, Payne’s food business hasn’t always been that way. With a traditional culinary background, Payne received classical training from Le Cordon Bleu in Scottsdale, Arizona. Throughout culinary school and immediately following, he worked his way up from the bottom, learning the ins and outs of restaurants. He started as a line cook, has been a front-of-thehouse manager, and even served a stint as pastry chef at well-known restaurants in the Phoenix area. Ready to open his own restaurant, he opened Terroir with his wife Melissa Newell in downtown Longmont in December of 2007, serving organic, elevated, farm-to-table cuisine. Although he opened before the economic crash of 2008, Payne saw business stay relatively strong all five years they were open. After a disagreement with the building owners regarding leasing terms and costs, Terroir closed in the fall of 2012. Payne earnestly tried to look at different locations but he decided unless he owned the building, he didn’t want to start over from scratch or be tied to something he didn’t own, so he took it as a sign to step back from owning his own restaurant, and take some time to evaluate. Soon after closing Terroir, Payne launched Feast Supper Club (later rebranded as Farmer Girl, hosting farm dinners and pop-ups) which is how he maintained a connection with his loyal customers from Terroir. In between farm dinners, he rotated through

says it’s a combination of sourcing locally for all his food ventures; an homage to his wife as she farms a small plot of land that she leases from Lone Hawk Farm in Longmont (her farm supplies 30-40 percent of the produce for all Payne’s ventures); and in honor of the “strong women” who are incredible farmers (a traditionally male role) that he works with and greatly respects, in Boulder County.

The freedom to do as you please

some of Denver’s finest restaurants, working in kitchens such as Trillium, Row14 and Z Cuisine. He’s no stranger to being a chef at the helm of fine dining establishments. In November of 2014, Payne bought The Tasterie Truck — an already existing food truck with an audience, menu and brand — from its previous owners (he plans to move that to the Farmer Girl brand soon). When asked about the name Farmer Girl, Payne

As Payne slowly has been building up his business, his intent and drive was to be his own boss, have independence and “have the freedom to do what I wanted to do,” Payne says. “I used to think the food business was all about brick and mortar restaurants, and anything less than that, I might have looked down at. It’s not really like that [anymore],” Payne says. Payne has spent many hours researching other cities and businesses that had a focus on mobile, pop-up restaurants or underground supper clubs. By doing so, Payne started to “look at food a different way,” as he found these concepts succeeding all around the country, with focused efforts, often smaller concepts, but always varied. Payne cites Comida as a great local example that has diversified its business through both a strong mobile presence and a brick and mortar facility. Other well-known restaurants have done the same, such as the nationally recognized Frasca, which opened the more casual Pizzeria Locale in both Boulder and Denver.

Business Online, says, “Whether it’s a fast-casual place that specializes in waffle sandwiches or an upscale casual restaurant that prints everything on a single-page menu, the thinking today is that ‘smaller is better.’ That level of focus says ‘quality’ to [consumers].” Payne asserts, “that’s the way to do it — to have several different ways to say what you want with your food, out to the public.”

Is mobile just a trend?

In Technomic’s 2011 Food Trucks Innovation Report, they cited 91 percent of consumers familiar with food trucks say they view them as no passing fad. The humble food outlet is on the rise, and it appears, is here to stay. When asked about the shift, and perhaps the trend of seeing fine dining owners and chefs moving to more mobile, low-key dining options, Payne identifies a variety of causes: economics, independence, access and diversity. “Economically, when you lease a restaurant space, you don’t get any longterm investment. You don’t own anything. You only own a book of a business. However, with a food truck for example, you own a mobile restaurant on top of everything else, and there’s tangible value there,” Payne shares. Although Payne doesn’t believe brick and mortar is over (he even wishes one day he might have his own again), he knows if that does happen, he will approach it differently and he’ll consider with every venture what it will look like at the end of 15 years and ask himself first, what can you walk away with? This is the independence factor that has become so important to him for his livelihood and ultimately his legacy. From an access standpoint, a lot of the farm-to-table food starts with white linen tablecloths at high-end restaurants, but it is restrictive to the general population who may not have access due to the cost. Payne believes this is partially “inhibiting the growth of eating local,” and he knows there aren’t enough people doing organic, fresh food in the mid-level pricing range. This reasoning was a huge attraction for him to go mobile, as he can get good food out there to people who may not have accessed it before through many different avenues, meeting people where they already are. Payne wants the movement to continue. He says he believes organic, sustainable and farm-to-table doesn’t have to be pretentious or only for wealthy people. From a diversity standpoint, Payne thinks long gone is the day when someone owns a fine dining restaurant and

cuisine that’s all they have. Not only is it fun to do more, Payne says, “you have to stay mentally stimulated, and if you get stagnant doing the same thing, you’ll lose customers. If you’re not into it, they’ll taste it.” The freedom and creativity has allowed Payne to break free from some constraints of fine dining that can often be seen as a little rigid. Stripping it down to make it more casual and unpretentious allows him to not be defined by just one cuisine or style. For instance, Payne can do a creative farm dinner for $65 per person, presented on nice plates in a beautiful environment with refined food, or he can sell something from the food truck that might be deep fried and served on compostable plates, with a trash can outside the food truck door for $8. Economically, the diversity is smart. “As far as a business perspective, the more diverse your portfolio is, the more unlikely you’re going to be subject to those economic variables,” Payne notes. “For instance, if you have a downturn in fine dining, maybe the low-end, mid-level food projects have an upturn.” When asked about what’s next for his diverse portfolio of on-the-go, mobile cuisine options he would love to expand working with his wife on her plot of land. He’s thinking about more canning and preserving, and cross pollinating that with the food truck and Avanti. He is also considering a storefront — not a traditional restaurant per se, but something where people can come and order food and he could sell things from the farm there, and perhaps canned goods they preserve — akin to a food stand that we might see in Europe or somewhere in Northern California’s small-town wine country. Payne says as he’s the president, CEO, CFO, COO, janitor and more with this business, it doesn’t mean making this shift is easy. And the nature of his business can be transient with seasons and that his business is literally always on the move. He says he learns from what he doesn’t do well, and, occasionally, he admits he may drop the ball by doing so many things. But he credits his days at Terroir for making him successful in this diversified business. Payne is a prime example of a highend, experienced chef making the move to multiple casual, on-the-go concepts, that range in diversity, but all offer high-quality food, at a reasonable price. One thing’s for sure from Payne’s story: the possibilities are endless for a restaurateur when you aren’t tied to a single space. Boulder Weekly

Boulder Valley Beer Fest returns with beer and chili by Kristen Kuchar

he second annual Boulder Valley Beer Fest takes place in conjunction with the Town of Superior’s annual Chili Fest on Saturday, Sept. 12 from 2-6:30 p.m. The event will be held at the beautiful Superior Community Park, located at 1350 Coalton Road in Superior. Approximately 25 local breweries are serving unlimited 3-ounce pours for fest-goers. “We strive to have a good mix of well-established breweries as well as new, smaller breweries as that’s what our participants are looking for,” says Brad Lesch, chair of the Boulder Valley Beer Fest Committee for the Rotary Club of Boulder Valley. Courtesy of Boulder Valley Beer Fest “We received overwhelming positive feedback from our brewers last year who appreciated being able to interact directly with participants and talk in depth about the beer.” Some of the Boulderarea breweries in attendance include Upslope Brewing Co., Boulder Beer, FATE Brewing Co., Front Range Brewing Co., Odd13 Brewing, Twisted Pine Brewing Co., Crystal Springs Brewing Co., Wild Woods Brewery and Asher Brewing Co. Admission is $30 in The Boulder Valley Beer Fest marries craft beer with craft chili. advance or $35 at the gate the day of the fest, and it includes unlimited beer sampling in a souvenir mug to take home. Breweries will stop serving beer at 6 p.m. If you’re looking to enhance your experience, consider the limited availability VIP tickets ($55 in advance, $60 at the gate), sponsored by Land Rover Flatirons. This includes early entry to the festivities, special release beers that will not be available to the general admission, wine and food. Jason Larson Band is playing blues funk and soul from 2-4 p.m., and Face will be performing a cappella from 4-6 p.m. for your listening pleasure. If you’re attending the beer part, you can also purchase a tasting kit for the Chili Fest for $5. Chili Fest patrons can purchase a glass of beer for $5. The chili celebration encompasses the International Chili Society’s Regional Cook-off and a People’s Choice competition between restaurants. All samples are on a first-come basis, so get there early. In addition to the chili, food trucks will be serving a variety of options as well. It’s also recommended that you keep in mind the event takes place on both grass and hard surfaces, so make a comfortable shoe choice. A hat and sunscreen are recommended, and unless they’re a service pet, please leave your furry friends at home. Parking is limited, and attendees are encouraged to walk or bike. All net proceeds from the event will be used by the Rotary Club to support ongoing local and international service projects. The Rotary Club of Boulder Valley has contributed more than $800,000 to the community and internationally. For more information, visit bouldervalleybeerfest.com

CANCER

JUNE 21-JULY 22:

Why grab the brain-scrambling moonshine when you may eventually be offered a heart-galvanizing tonic? Why gorge on hors d’oeuvres when a four-course feast will be available sooner than you imagine? According to my analysis of the astrological omens, my fellow Crab, the future will bring unexpected opportunities that are better and brighter than the current choices. This is one of those rare times when procrastination may be in your interest.

LEO

JULY 23-AUG. 22:

As I hike up San Pedro Ridge, I’m mystified by the madrone trees. The leaves on the short, thin saplings are as big and bold as the leaves on the older, thicker, taller trees. I see this curiosity as an apt metaphor for your current situation, Leo. In one sense, you are in the early stages of a new cycle of growth. In another sense, you are strong and ripe and fullfledged. For you, this is a winning combination: a robust balance of innocence and wisdom, of fresh aspiration and seasoned readiness.

VIRGO

AUG. 23-SEPT. 22:

I hope it’s not too late or too early to give you a slew of birthday presents. You deserve to be inundated with treats, dispensations and appreciations. Here’s your first perk: You are hereby granted a license to break a taboo that is no longer useful or necessary. Second blessing: You are authorized to instigate a wildly constructive departure from tradition. Third boost: I predict that in the next six weeks, you will simultaneously claim new freedom and summon more discipline. Fourth delight: During the next three months, you will discover and uncork a new thrill. Fifth goody: Between now and your birthday in 2016, you will develop a more relaxed relationship with perfectionism.

In this horoscope, we will use the Socratic method to stimulate your excitement about projects that fate will favor in the next nine months. Here’s how it works: I ask the questions, and you brainstorm the answers. 1. Is there any part of your life where you are an amateur but would like to be a professional? 2. Are you hesitant to leave a comfort zone even though remaining there tends to inhibit your imagination? 3. Is your ability to fulfill your ambitions limited by any lack of training or deficiency in your education? 4. Is there any way that you are holding on to blissful ignorance at the expense of future possibilities? 5. What new license, credential, diploma or certification would be most useful to you?

AQUARIUS

JAN. 20-FEB. 18:

The story of my life features more than a few fiascos. For example, I got fired from my first job after two days. One of my girlfriends dumped me without any explanation and never spoke to me again. My record label fired me and my band after we made just one album. Years later, these indignities still carry a sting. But I confess that I am also grateful for them. They keep me humble. They serve as antidotes if I’m ever tempted to deride other people for their failures. They have helped me develop an abundance of compassion. I mention this personal tale in the hope that you, too, might find redemption and healing in your own memories of frustration. The time is right to capitalize on old losses.

PISCES

FEB. 19-MARCH 20:

It’s never fun to be in a sticky predicament that seems to have no smart resolution. But the coming days could turn out to be an unexpectedly good time to be in such a predicament. Why? Because I expect that your exasperation will precipitate an emotional cleansing, releasing ingenious intuitions that had been buried under repressed anger and sadness. You may then find a key that enables you to reclaim at least some of your lost power. The predicament that once felt sour and intractable will mutate, providing you with an opportunity to deepen your connection with a valuable resource.

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

STUDY FINDS FINDINGS, STUDY FINDS A new study found that teenage boys with low resting heart rates are more likely to commit violent crimes as adults. The study, published in JAMA Psychiatry, connected low heart rates with increased risk-taking and failure to detect danger. Now it’s worth noting that these finding were found in a Swedish study. When you put it in that context, it’s pretty easy to see that any teenage boy whose heart doesn’t rise for ABBA and pickled whitefish has something seriously wrong with them. Wikimedia Commons Also, violent crime in Sweden is a little different than we here in the States see it. A violent crime in Sweden could be as innocuous as putting an Ikea-brand Knopparp quilted loveseat where, really, a Söderhamn sofa is the only choice. Animals. A hate crime is defined in Sweden as any violence between a pale person and someone slightly paler. Or anyone with, gasp, brown eyes. Punishments for violent crimes in Sweden should deter these miscreants as well, as all ne’er-do-wells are required to lay prostrate before the obscure, pre-Christian Norse god of justice Forseti, and as is foretold in the Grímnismál, must eat the fruit from the sacred Tree of Decision to determine if they will die a slow, painful death or go on to live a fruitful life as an ambiguouslygendered cartoon mascot child on Swedish chocolate bars. It is a twisted culture.

TWO WRONGS DON’T MAKE A RIGHT-SIZING PROJECT In a state of pre-election panic, Boulder City Council members are beginning to backtrack on the infamous right-sizing project on Folsom, starting Tuesday, Sept. 8 with the removal of a bunch of those weird green-and-white polls that were somehow supposed to protect bikers from getting hit by cars. With 18 people vying for five city council seats this November, and Boulder citizen’s skipping yoga classes to take to the streets with torches and pitch forks to protest the carmageddon that right-sizing created on Folsom, it’s easy to see why some members of City Council are rethinking the project. Back in August, Councilwoman Lisa Morzel took to the city’s public email system to say that while she voted for right-sizing, “This mess just isn’t worth jeopardizing my council seat over.” Councilman George Karakehian, who opposed the project from the beginning, was overheard muttering the chorus from Kenny Roger’s “The Gambler” at the Sept. 8 council meeting that ultimately rolled back the scale of the project on Folsom. When anyone tried to counter Karakehian’s negative view of right-sizing, he simply placed his fingers in his ears and chanted, “I was right, I was right, I was right, I was right.” Karakehian will not be seeking reelection for council this year. Between 200 and 350 of those stupid green-and-white polls were removed on Tuesday night. Wednesday morning Folsom commuters were found marveling at the lack of clutter. One commuter was overheard saying, “What the hell were those things, anyway?” Members of the city’s transportation department, as well as their families, will remain under 24-hour police protection as a precautionary measure until city officials can determine whether the scaling back of the right-sizing project eases mob violence.

The alcohol-marijuana conundrum

Susan France

ne of the things that has fascinated me over the years is why so many people are so intent on not allowing me or millions of other Americans to use marijuana. Think about it. Since the days when Richard Nixon was president and the Controlled Substances Act became law, the United States government has been trying desperately to stop me and lots of other people from doing something they find enjoyable and that seems pretty benign, especially when measured against the alternatives. So pleasurable, in fact, that millions are willing to continue to break the law to do it. The demonization of pot in America originated with Harry Anslinger, the first commissioner of the U.S. Treasury Department’s Federal Bureau of Narcotics, who spent the years between 1930 and 1962 stirring up the original reefer madness and using the concept of “drug abuse” to control minorities. And then along came the DEA under Nixon’s reign that criminalized the use of marijuana just at the time that a lot of young Americans were curious about it. Nixon was phobic about a lot of things: Jews, gays, hippies and drug use, among them. The man who wandered the White House corridors drunk and babbling in the dark days before his resignation, talked with counsel John Ehrlichman in the Oval Office on June 2, 1971 about pot. Richard Nixon: “Why in the name

of God do these people take this stuff?” John Ehrlichman: “For the same reason they drink. It’s a, they’re bored, it’s a, it’s a diversion.” RN: “Drinking is a different thing in a sense. Uh, Linkletter’s point, I think, is well taken, he says, ‘A person may drink to have a good time.’” JE: “Mm-hmm.” RN: “But a person does not drink simply for the purpose of getting high. You take drugs for the purpose of getting high.” JE: “Yep, yep.” RN: “There is a difference.” In a nutshell, that’s the crux of the

25 Top Shelf 1/8’s Everyday

problem, and it’s still a prevalent attitude. People who should know better actually believe, or at least espouse, this point of view. I’ve heard Bill O’Reilly and others on Fox News say exactly the same thing: that somehow a person who has a couple of drinks after work is different than a person who fires up a bowl. Alcohol is a “pick me up,” they say. A “thirst quencher.” A “social lubricant.” Sorry, Richard Nixon. There isn’t a difference. Saying there is assumes that alcohol, unlike marijuana, is not a drug. Altering your consciousness with alcohol is OK, but doing it with cannabis is not. And because they believe this so strongly, these people are content to impose their will on everybody else. Is it really any surprise that they have failed so miserably? Give the drug war credit for one thing: It has been extremely effective at putting Americans, especially minorities, behind bars. But that’s it. Despite the endless cash ($26 billion federal dollars, and about an equal amount at the state and local levels this year alone), the “Just Say No” and “This is Your Mind on Drugs” campaigns, zealous border patrols, ever more sophisticated gadgetry, mandatory sentencing and harsher punishments, the government hasn’t been able to stop anybody from using cannabis. Hemp can’t get you high. Yet the entire hemp industry here was destroyed solely because of its resemblance. The government sprayed

Mexican fields with the herbicide paraquat and even subverted television scripts with anti-cannabis rhetoric, and still, people use it in their homes for the same reasons as those opposed to its use do with alcohol. Nothing made more of an impression on me about this subject than a book that came out about the same time the DEA was first firing up its engines. Released in 1972, Andrew Weil’s The Natural Mind deals with the human quest to change consciousness. It still strikes a powerful chord today. “The use of drugs to alter consciousness is nothing new. It has been a feature of human life in all places on the earth and in all ages of history,” Weil wrote. “The ubiquity of drug use is so striking that it must represent a basic human appetite.” Weil warns not to mix the drive itself for people’s choices. “Clearly, much drug taking in our country is negative in the sense that it is ultimately destructive to the individual and therefore to society. But this obvious fact says nothing about the intrinsic goodness or badness of altered states of consciousness or the need to experience them.” In their hearts, people opposed to cannabis must know this. Why are more non-users voting for legalization and Congress people sponsoring bills to end the Drug War? The arguments for criminalization are as senseless as ever, yet the spending for prohibition continues endlessly. You can hear Leland discuss his most recent column and Colorado cannabis issues each Thursday morning on KGNU. http://news.kgnu.org/weed

Dear Dan: Is it legal for a man to procure the services of a dominatrix? In the kind of session I have in mind, there’s no nudity or sexual activity or contact involved. There’s not even any whipping or flogging or caning or hardcore BDSM stuff. I just want to see what it would be like to be bound and gagged. That’s it. So is it against the law to pay a woman to tie me up? — Boy Into Nonsexual Domination Dear BIND: “The short answer is no, he’s not likely to be arrested for procuring the services of a Dominatrix,” says Mistress Justine Cross, a pro-Domme based in Los Angeles. “What BIND desires sounds totally legal and safe — he just needs to find a Domme who is reputable (check out her website, read her reviews) and knows what she is doing in the realm of bondage. That said, I’m not a cop or a lawyer.” Cross is, however, a business owner. She runs two dungeons in Los Angeles — and she consulted with a criminaldefense attorney before going into the professional domination business. “He assured me that what I do is A-okay,” Cross says. “And even though he had practiced for many years, he had never defended, nor did he know any other lawyer who had ever defended, a professional Domme. Since Dommes rarely find themselves in trouble for their work, it stands to reason that BIND, a future client, will be in the clear as well.” With the Feds going after websites like Rentboy and myRedBook (sites that make sex work safer), and with the never-ending puritanical, punitive crusade to “rescue” adult sex workers from consensual, nonexploitative sex work (by arresting them and giving them criminal records), how is it that professional Dominants and their clients aren’t routinely harassed by law-enforcement authorities? “We don’t offer sex or nudity in our professional BDSM work,” Cross says, “and this keeps us out of the ‘criminalized’ categories of sex work. However, every state has different laws. NYC and LA both have large professional BDSM communities, but I can’t say every state or city welcomes or tolerates this type of sex work. In some places, the scene is more ‘underground,’ mostly because people still have a hard time understanding that some people just want to get tied up and not get a hand job, too.” Follow Mistress Justine Cross on Twitter @ Justineplays. Dear Dan: I’m a good-looking, fit, younger guy living in Southern California. I’m getting older, though, and have never been in love or had any kind of serious relationship. I’m straight, but in the past five years I discovered that sexuality is gray, not black or white. I learned this when I acciBoulder Weekly

dentally dove into the world of trans. I go on Craigslist and other sites and find local trans girls to engage with in sexual activity. It’s hard to describe why I’m into it, but I just am — maybe it satisfies a sexual side of me that women don’t? Regardless, I’ve felt like this is an issue getting in the way of my quest to find a great woman and start a family, which I’d like to do in the next few

years. I’m caught between thinking my sexual addiction is hindering my advancement toward a family life and enjoying the rush and sexual gratitude I’m inundated with when I meet up with trans girls. Is it something I definitely need to put an end to, or has it become a part of me that I can’t deny and hide? — Rocks And Hard Places

Dear RAHP: Trans women are women, RAHP, and some of them are great. (And some of them, like some of everybody, are not so great.) You could date a trans woman, you could marry a trans woman, and you could have kids with a trans woman (through adoption or surrogacy). The only thing that stands between you and being with the kind of person you’re most attracted to (a trans woman) and having the other stuff you want out of life (marriage, kids, family life) is you.
