Highroad The new American aristocracy

by Jim Hightower

M

ultibillionaire brothers, Charles and David Koch, want to supplant America’s core democratic principle of majority rule — i.e., the will of the people — with their plutocratic principle of inviolable property rights, also known as rule by the wealthy minority. Their notion is that We The People cannot be allowed to tax the riches of the owner class, nor set rules on how they treat workers, consumers and society as a whole.

To set themselves up as the new American aristocracy, this clique of

moneyed elites has been spending hundreds of millions of dollars — much of it secret — on front groups and whorish politicians. For nearly 40 years, they and their uber-rich allies have torn down legal structures and mechanisms that give ordinary people some chance to control their own destinies. The Kochs’ goals include: • Killing all restrictions on political spending by corporations and the rich.

• Suppressing voting rights of students, people of color, the elderly and others who tend to favor Democratic policies.

• Eliminating labor unions.

• Canceling the right of workers, consumers and others to sue corporations that harm them.

• Shredding the social safety net including food stamps, Social Security

and Medicare.

• Axing provisions to protect our environment.

• “Preempting” the right of local people to pass laws that corporations oppose.

• And packing courts with pro-corporate judges.

The Koch conspiracy’s attack on our democratic rights has already rigged our country’s economic and political rules so the richest of the rich can now grab ever more of society’s wealth and power, thus shattering America’s commitment to the Common Good and creating a savage level of inequality.

guest column If not now, then when?

by Mark Williams

J

ohn F. Kennedy once said, “Today our concern must be with the future. For the world is changing. The old era is ending. The old ways will not do.” The same is true today — the politics of the past have failed us, and it’s time to create the politics of the future, right here at home in Colorado’s 2nd District. That’s what my campaign for Congress is all about.

My name is Mark Williams, and I’m a Democratic candidate in the June 26 primary. I’m not a career politician.

I served our country as a fighter pilot in the Gulf War, an intelligence officer in the USAF Reserves, and I’ve been involved in Boulder’s tech community for the past 15 years. I came to Colorado in 1994 to attend Naropa University and after experiencing the impact of the 2016 election on my daughters, my community and my country, I decided to step forward and get involved.

My hope for renewal in American politics begins here. Citizen candidates committed to service, not self, must rise up and lead the way to remove a political class that puts party above community and country. This campaign has a vision for something new — a politics born of the moral courage that speaks truth to power and that leads with the honesty and optimism that are America at its best.

People are cynical about our politics and really, who can blame them? The game has been rigged against ordinary people like you and me. Republicans and Democrats alike have listened to lobbyists, served the powerful, and protected the interests of the privileged few.

No wonder most millennials and many Americans feel the system is hopelessly broken. When Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates and Warren Buffet combined are wealthier than the bottom 50 percent of Americans, there’s not much to debate.

And it’s killing our country.

This isn’t a partisan issue; it’s an American issue, threatening the very heart of our democracy and liberty itself. For my campaign, it’s not enough to resist a reckless president and a rigged economy held in place by a corrupt election finance system. I’m running a race without donations from D.C. insiders, PACs, special interests or

lobbyists. In today’s political climate, it takes a profound lack of imagination ­— or arrogance — to campaign using the broken playbook of the past. Here in the 2nd District, we can put this kind of tired game to rest by walking the talk that gets dirty money out of politics.

Our district is a special one, hands down one of the most progressive districts in the country. We’re blessed with grassroots activists, two powerhouse universities, a startup culture of innovation and creativity, and nationally recognized brands in Boulder and Fort Collins. We can lead the country forward with a vision of a hopeful future that restores our faith in government. If we “re-knit” the urban, rural, agricultural and mountain communities in our district, we show all of America that politics of the people, by the people, and for the people is a reality, not a dream.

I support three initiatives that define a bold, progressive agenda for our district and our country: 1) Level the playing field for working folks. We fight for Improved Medicare for All, banning assault weapons, strong paid family and medical leave legislation and other progressive policies. We’ll fight against legislation that continues to favor the 1 percent, big corporations, Wall Street and toobig-to-fail banks.

2) Invest in peace, not war. We bring our troops back from Afghanistan and shrink the defense budget so we can invest in our communities here at home.

3. Protect the planet. We ban fracking, accelerate the transition to renewables, remove subsidies from the fossil fuel industry, and invest big in the next generation of renewable technologies and jobs.

My call is to those who seek renewal and a re-imagining of a nation in service to its people. One with leaders who listen to ordinary folks and protect the interests of the people they represent. I will serve you, your family, our community, and our country first and foremost.

This is my contract with the voters and my sacred promise to you.

These times demand courageous hearts and our boldest imagination. If not here, where? If not now, when?

danish plan The Moving Finger writes: CO2 in the atmosphere continues to increase

by Paul Danish

“The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.”

—Omar Khayyam

T

imes have changed since Omar was knocking out verse in the 12th century, but when it comes to global warming, the Moving Finger writes and moves on pretty much as it always did.

On June 7, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported that the amount of carbon dioxide in the air exceeded 411 parts per million (ppm) during the month of May, which is the highest monthly level ever recorded. The Scripps Institution of Oceanography, which runs the CO2 monitoring station at the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii, echoed the finding.

According to NOAA, May’s average CO2 reading was 411.25 ppm. Scripps’ figure was slightly higher, 411.31 ppm.

Moreover, the growth rate of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing, according to NOAA. In the 1980s, the average annual growth rate of atmospheric CO2 was 1.6 ppm per year. In the 1990s it was actually down a bit, 1.5 ppm per year.

Since then it’s been climbing. In 2017 it increased to 2.3 ppm per year.

The last six year-to-year increases Boulder Weekly

have been above 2 ppm.

“Many of us had hoped to see the rise in CO2 slowing by now, but sadly that isn’t the case,” said Dr. Ralph Keeling, director of the Scripps CO2 monitoring program. Tell it to the Moving Finger, Doc. “CO2 levels are continuing to grow at an all-time record rate because emissions from coal, oil and natural gas are also at record levels,” said Pieter Tans, lead scientist at NOAA’s Global Greenhouse Gas Reference Network in a press release announcing this year’s numbers. “Today’s emissions will still be trapping heat in the atmosphere thousands of years from now.” The Moving Finger couldn’t have writ it better.

NOAA got the finger a week earlier as well. On May 30, a week before the annual CO2 level report came out, NOAA reported that its Annual Greenhouse Gas Index, which tracks annual changes in the combined totals of five major greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, had risen by 1 percentage point in 2017 from 2016 levels –— and 41 percentage points from 1990 levels.

The index tracks CO2, methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (NO2) and two chlorofluorocarbons that were banned by the Montreal Protocol in 1987 because they damaged the atmosphere’s ozone layer. see DANISH PLAN Page 8

DANISH PLAN from Page 7

Some background: For greenhouse gas measurement purposes, climatologists have picked the year 1750 as the beginning of the industrial revolution.

Analysis of air trapped in ice cores taken from Antarctica found that for the 10,000 years prior to 1750 CO2 levels in the atmosphere were at a relatively stable 280 ppm. After 1750, they began to rise, reaching 354 ppm at the end of 1990 and 411 ppm in May this year.

So how come CO2 levels keep rising despite the expenditure of more than 20 years of piety, wit, treasure, global accords and happy talk?

Funny how no one ever mentions global population growth.

The global population growth rate is falling — from 1.32 percent a year in 1998, the first full year after the adoption of the Kyoto Protocol, to 1.12 percent a year in 2017 — but the absolute number of people on the planet is still growing. By more than 80 million people a year.

Global population at the end of 1998 was just shy of 6 billion. At the end of 2017, it was 7.6 billion.

In other words, in 20 years the world’s population grew by 200 million more people than the current population of China, which is about 1.4 billion.

Almost all of that increase occurred in developing countries, all of which are chasing Western lifestyles, starting with urbanization. At the same time that the

world’s population was growing by 1.6 billion, the population of the world’s cities was growing by about 1.5 billion.

Urbanization on that scale is a voracious consumer of energy in all forms. Twenty-first-century cities couldn’t exist without supplies of electricity, gasoline and natural gas that grow as they grow.

In the last 20 years, there has been enough residential, commercial and infrastructure construction in the world’s cities to accommodate the equivalent of the population of China and then some.

Wind and solar energy sources haven’t come remotely close to meeting the energy demand of the 1.6 billion people added to the world’s population in the last 20 years, never mind producing enough to replace existing fossil fuel sources.

And, if the world’s population continues to grow by 80 million a year, it’s delusional to assume renewables alone will be able to meet the demand for energy from the next 1.6 billion people who will be added to the world’s population by 2038.

And so the Moving Finger will continue to write “CO2 in the atmosphere has increased by more than 2 ppm CO2 this year,” and having writ will move on, pausing only to flip you off if you think to can stop CO2 increases without stopping population increases.

letters On nuclear power Mr. Danish, we already have more than enough radioactive waste for which we have no safe solution (Re: “The cost of killing nuclear power,” May 24, 2018, The Danish Plan). Also further centralization of the power grid is backward, not futuristic thinking. I do wish self-described, “individualistic and independent” Libertarians would stop their defense and promotion of corporate, fat-cat America. It is quite unbecoming.

Weiser for AG Colorado is ready for new and honest leadership in the office of Attorney General, and Phil Weiser is the Democratic candidate we deserve.

Phil has a long history of legal success: he clerked for Supreme Court Justice Ginsberg, he served in the U.S.

Justice Department under presidents Clinton and Obama, and most recently he was Dean of the University of Colorado’s Law School. Legal expertise — Phil is ready to protect all citizens of Colorado by serving us as our Attorney General.

Just like all of us, Phil Weiser is concerned about the planet’s environment and water, kids who spend precious and often dangerous time in schools, public health system and hard-working immigrants. Phil is the leader who will solve the problems our state faces.

He personally visited and talked to Coloradans in all 64 counties. He listened and knows our concerns. As Attorney General, he will continue to listen and address our needs.

I can’t vote for Mark Williams, but you should Being 16 and politically involved is tough. You can be informed, committed and passionate about the issues, you just can’t vote!

I’m a committed volunteer, supporting Mark Williams for Congress. I shoot and edit campaign videos, produce Facebook Live events, and pitch in. I’ve also been checking out his opponent, and the disparity is unequivocal.

Mark had no interest in political life before Trump’s election. His real-world experience (F15 fighter pilot, Naropa University, Start-Up world), and commitment to clean politics, have sparked a buzzing, inspirational, people-powered-campaign.

His opponent, Joe Neguse, is a career politician, heavily funded, pre-selected, establishment candidate, trying to run out the clock, repeating pre-rehearsed soundbites, canceling debates, hiding behind expensive, shallow, TV ads, and unwarranted big-wig establishment endorsements. Recently Neguse called Joe Biden to his rescue! Never before has a VP interfered in a safe-Democratic district primary race. This is the greatest compliment to Williams, who is dominating the race with ideas, integrity, leadership and snowballing popularity.

Despite being outspent 10-1, Mark accepts no PAC or special interest funding, is entirely transparent on his stances (i.e. Fracking Ban) beholden only to us, his constituents.

I so want to vote for Mark Williams. He is an exceptional candidate, authentically “of the people, by the people, and for the people.”

Being 16, I can’t vote. But you can.

Vote Mark Williams, the better choice for Congressional District 2.

for more than 10-20 years. That puts us right at the point in time, (2030-2040), where most “clean energy” plans want to be self sustaining just as the indispensable back-up fuel (natural gas) runs out.

Several years ago I heard Mr. Danish make a comment about making Boulder a 100 percent non-carbon electric user by converting the Valmont power plant to nuclear. At first I thought it was just Paul being Paul, but now, after learning more about

FREE

advanced nuclear reactors that use molten salt for cooling, and thorium for fuel, I am convinced he was onto something. Many versions of these reactors are actively being designed and tested, and a 300 MW unit, which would be more than enough to power Boulder could be brought to the Valmont site on a truck and put into operation by 2030.

Such a reactor (see www.terrestrialenergy.com) would take up around five acres of land and would operate for seven

years, 24/365, without refueling or emitting any CO2. It would also be passively safe, and would contain all its waste safely inside the salt contained in the reactor vessel.

I urge all residents of Boulder and Colorado to learn more about this fantastic technology. A good place to start is by reading the book Super Fuel by fellow Boulderite, Richard Martin.

Power and Danish Thanks to Paul Danish for his piece on the cost of shutting down the nuclear power industry. He is absolutely correct in asserting that our failure to develop advanced nuclear power reactors has put the U.S. and the world into a major bind. No combination of wind, solar and batteries can hope to sustain a modern economy, and the only thing keeping the renewable energy system running is the abundance of cheap natural gas.

news Protestors shut down Lafayette City Council meeting before oil and gas vote story by Matt Cortina photos by Joel Dyer

A

group of about 50 protestors forced Protesters at the the Lafayette City Lafayette City Council to adjourn Council meeting chanted “Healthy on Tuesday, June climate is our right,” 19, before the Council could vote among other phrases. on an ordinance that would codify oil and gas regulations but not ban the practice within city limits.

Residents spoke for over an hour during the meeting’s public comment session, largely against the ordinance put forward by the City. After the public comment session, outside counsel Jeffrey Robbins began a presentation of the ordinance to the Council, only to be interrupted within minutes by citizens in the chamber.

The group circled around the meeting room and chanted, “No drills, no pipelines,” “Healthy climate is our right,” among other lines. More protestors chanted outside, as the room had reached capacity.

The Council quietly adjourned the meeting and left the chamber, with many Councilors heading to their cars. The protesters then filled the Council chambers and ascended the dais, singing and chanting.

“You know we’ve been saying for many years that fracking and oil and gas activity is a violation of the fundamental rights of the people of Lafayette, and we successfully intervened and rendered the Council unable to move those wells forward,” says Cliff Willmeng, an organizer with citizens group East Boulder County United (ECBU). “So you know we look at it as a first step. It’s unfortunate we have to resort to such drastic measure, but for six years the Council has, at best, ignored us.”

The ordinance would enact restrictions that mimic the restrictions Boulder County put on oil and gas operations.

They mandate that oil and gas operators must receive a permit with the City (in addition to state and county permits), enter into surface area agreements with residents near operations, engage the community before constructing oil and gas infrastructure, and develop water, transportation and emerSee LAFAYETTE Page 13

gency plans for the City to review. The ordinance also puts a 150-foot setback for pipelines from buildings.

Many people who spoke against the ordinance claimed that regulating oil and gas activities equates to allowing oil and gas activities. A few members of the public spoke in support of the ordinance, saying it provided a fallback plan should stricter measures fail; according to a 2016 Colorado Supreme Court decision, municipalities can’t outright ban fracking.

Those opposed to the regulations cited the Lafayette community’s desire to ban fracking as evidenced over several votes, and that language in the Climate Bill of Rights, which was passed in 2017, should effectively prohibit oil and gas operations.

The document codified citizens’ right to “a healthy climate and lifesustaining resources, which includes the right to be free from activities within the City that interfere with that right.”

However, critics point out, the ordinance reads that it will implement the Climate Bill of Rights “by enacting new oil and gas land use regulations that will be in harmony with the Act and the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) rules so as to allow the responsible development of oil and gas resources in the City,” which they say is impossible; Councilwoman Merrily Mazza says there’s no way to pass oil and gas regulations and also uphold the Climate Bill of Rights.

“The Council claims to protect the climate, people and environment from oil and gas drilling by legalizing oil and gas drilling,” Mazza says.

Mazza and ECBU placed blame on a Council they say is politically motivated to approve oil and gas operations, which was a sentiment echoed in the public comments of the meeting.

“Our elected local officials have refused to listen to us even though we have repeatedly demanded, and our town has voted for, an outright ban on fracking. The Lafayette Council majority has refused to defend the Boulder Weekly

fundamental rights of Lafayette community members that people have repeatedly articulated. Regulations will do nothing to protect us. We are being betrayed by politically-motivated bureaucrats. We will now stand ourselves, as a people, and refuse to be drilled,” said Brooke Dryden, a Lafayette resident, in an ECBU statement before the meeting.

Mazza says that Council’s embrace of oil and gas regulations comes from “a void of local courage on the part of everyone on Council excluding me.”

Mazza says politics have influenced

Organizers of the citizen’s group East Boulder County United claim the Council has, at best, ignored them for the past six years.

the way Lafayette’s Council has approached the oil and gas issue. She claims some Council members were eager to say they supported a ban on fracking while running for office, only to support the ordinance before Tuesday.

Mazza says it’s a betrayal of voters’

trust to switch positions, but that many residents can’t keep up with which Democrats support oil and gas bans and moratoria, and which don’t.

“There are a certain number of people who put blinders on,” Mazza says. “Some people ... want to pretend that these regulations are going to keep them safe because that’s what the Council tells them and that’s what the Commissioners tell them.”

Two Council members were specifically targeted by ECBU and speakers at the meeting — Christine Berg and Gustavo Reyna. Reyna declined to answer several of BW’s questions after the meeting, and Berg did not respond to requests for comment.

Willmeng says there will likely be more action in the future if Council pursues oil and gas regulations, and that the group is setting its sights on the Boulder County Commissioners.

“It’s going to keep happening to the extent that the Council refuses to listen to the community,” Willmeng says. “We anticipate due to their prior record that one action is not going to persuade them to do anything different than they have for the last six years. I also want to emphasize, moving on from Lafayette, we’re going to be placing the same demand on the Boulder County Commissioners. We want them to place the Climate Bill of Rights to a vote this November. And the reason for that is quite clear: it’s because the local government is acting as brokers for the industry.”

If the ordinance is passed, there is still a question of whether oil and gas operators will take any issue with the regulations it entails. If an operator, say, doesn’t think it’s legal for the City to deny their permit for whatever reason — citing a well or pipeline is likely to be one contentious issue, as the state maintains it has jurisdiction over that — the ordinance states that theCcity “shall notify the COGCC in writing. If the COGCC fails to bring suit to enjoin any actual or threatened violation, then the City Attorney may file an action on behalf of the City Council seeking injunctive relief.”

Helping or hindering the homeless?

Critics call out Garnett after pro-camping ban comments

news

by Angela K. Evans

14 June 21, 2018

T

he City of Boulder’s camping ban has been controversial since its inception. Proponents argue it’s necessary for public safety, while critics say it unnecessarily criminalizes homelessness and infringes on civil rights.

On June 14, homeless advocates in Boulder wrote a letter calling on former Boulder District Attorney Stan Garnett to resign from the Bridge House Board of Directors, an organization helping to Jefferson Dodge address homelessness in the city, over procamping ban comments he made in the Daily Camera in early March.

“We recognize that Mr. Garnett brings a great number of beneficial community connections and potential resources to the Bridge House Board of Directors, but believe that by publicly expressing such an exclusionary position regarding the rights of indigent and marginalized persons creates a harm that outweighs the benefits of his remaining on the Board,” the letter reads, before calling on Garnett to resign from the Bridge House Board.

The letter calling for Garnett’s resignation was signed by Darren O’Connor on behalf of Boulder Rights Watch (BRW) and NAACP Boulder Chapter, representing approximately 200 people, along with the National Lawyers Guild of Colorado, of which O’Connor is student chapter president.

In his letter, also addressed to Dennis Arfmann, chair of Bridge House Board of Directors, O’Conner takes particular offense to the notion that families and children can’t enjoy public spaces if people experiencing homelessness are also using those same areas. The Camera article reads: Q: Supporters of the camping ban point out that taxpayers fund these public spaces and if they’re going to be usable by families and children, you have to be able to move homeless people off of them.

A: Yes. Totally agree.

“I was frustrated to see [Garnett] come out with a public statement with

his credentials against people experiencing homelessness even being allowed in public space,” O’Connor says. “The fact is people can be in public space whether they are homeless or not.”

Garnett left the Boulder district attorney’s office in March and returned to private practice in the middle of his third and final term. He insists the comment in question was said in the context of a broader conversation about

resign by anyone from the organization.

As stated on its website, the mission of Bridge House is “to address immediate survival needs of homeless and low income individuals” while helping them attain “employment, housing, personal stability and healing.”

But advocates say the camping ban does nothing but criminalize homelessness, further hindering people from getting back on their feet. According to a recent report from the University of Denver’s Sturm College of Law Homeless Advocacy Policy Project (HAPP), Boulder issued 376 citations for violating the camping ban in 2017, and of those, 81.9 percent were issued to people experiencing homelessness. That’s up from a five-year low in 2016 with 233 citations, although, again, 81.9 percent of those were issued to the homeless population.

“For Stan Garnett to say that the camping ban is a good thing and to support the camping homelessness, where he offers ban just makes no other solutions. sense, especially if “The more involved I am Of the 376 citations written for violating the he’s trying to help in public discourse, the more City of Boulder’s the homeless,” says concerned I am that in the camping ban in 2017, 81.9 percent were Charles Nadler from United States we see everyissued to people the Colorado thing only through the lens of experiencing homelessness.

Complaints of inadequate care at Aurora immigration facility

E

arlier this month, the American Immigration Council and the American Immigration Lawyers Association filed a complaint with several federal immigration agencies demanding an immediate investigation into the Denver Contract Detention Center in Aurora run by the private prison corporation GEO Group, Inc. The complaint outlines “woefully inadequate medical and mental health care” at the facility, supported by firsthand accounts and personal testimonies of both current and former detainees, including the death of two detainees since 2012.

The complaint claims these stories document “repeated violations” and “demonstrate systemic failure” by GEO and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) “of applicable detention standards, the U.S. Constitution, domestic law, and international law.”

Part of the problem also has to do with the fact that “the ICE detention standards are not codified in regulations and are virtually impossible to enforce.”

And in addition to demanding an immediate and independent review of the facility, the organizations ask that ICE enact binding and enforceable regulations for how to treat detainees at its facilities.

Originally contracted to house 150 detainees in the 1980s, the facility now has an approved capacity of 1,532.

Court strikes down oil and gas sale

I

n a ruling that may have regional implications, a U.S. District Court struck down a roughly 20,000-acre oil and gas lease sale on June 14, citing the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) inability to quantify the life cycle of oil and gas emissions.

The U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico also found that BLM did not outline water quality impacts from fracking in the region, in this case, Santa Fe National Forest.

Environmentalists hailed the ruling as a small victory.

“The law requires the government to look before they leap into fracking on our public lands, which includes an honest look at how the continued exploitation of oil and gas will impact our climate and future generations” said Kyle Tisdel of the Western Environmental Law Center, in a statement. “This decision rejects the rubber stamp mentality of our public land managers on the Santa Fe National Forest, even as the government continues to approve unstudied fracking throughout New Mexico’s Greater Chaco region.”

Lawsuit dropped against Lobe, Bella Romero protestors

O

n June 20, a small group of people gathered in the Weld County Courthouse in support of Cullen Lobe and others who faced a civil lawsuit brought against them by Extraction Oil and Gas. In early March, Lobe locked himself to a bulldozer on a site owned and operated by Extraction in protest

of its close proximity to Bella Romero Academy, which is populated predominantly by Latino and lowincome students. Polsinelli LLP, on behalf of Extraction, then sued Lobe and others. As a result of the hearing, the civil lawsuit against Lobe, Mary Elise Delffs, Jeremy Mack and Brian Hedden was dropped with the requirement they not trespass on Extraction’s lands.

Lobe’s lawyer, Jason Flores-Williams, says he’s glad to get through the lawsuit with Lobe not paying any damages, with the activists’ integrity in tact, and free to continue fighting injustice in the world.

Meanwhile, a lawsuit brought by citizens near Bella Romero against the COGCC for permitting the site awaits judgment.

Scientific mystery: who is still producing this ozonedestroying chemical? by Anna Scott

O

n May 16, scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in Boulder published a study in the scientific journal Nature that points to a rise in emissions of a banned ozone-destroying chemical known as trichlorofluoromethane, or CFC-11.

According to the study, these emissions appear to be originating somewhere in east Asia.

CFCs are man-made chemicals used in refrigerants, foam-blowing agents and aerosol sprays.

Chlorine in CFCs causes ozone to break down into oxygen molecules, reducing the ozone layer’s effectiveness in blocking ultraviolet radiation.

CFC-11 production, along with other chlorofluo-

rocarbons, was banned as part of the Montreal Protocol of 1987 in an effort to slow the deterioration of the Earth’s protective ozone layer. The chemicals were supposed to be phased out entirely as of 2010 and concentrations were expected to decrease more rapidly each year.

Reduction of CFC-11 was steady between 2002 to 2012 but slowed by 50 percent after 2012. NOAA scientists say this likely points to new production of the banned chemical.

“It seems to be unlikely that that emission is from old production, which suggests new production,” says lead scientist on the study, Dr. Stephen Montzka.

Montzka says the source of these emissions can be found by looking at global wind patterns going to the

atmosphere and letting it tell us what’s happening.

Based on results from the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii, he surmises that the CFC-11 is being produced somewhere in eastern Asia.

Lowered concentration of CFC-11 is reportedly the second largest contributor to the recovery of the stratospheric ozone layer. Montzka says that there is a possible economic incentive for the use of CFC-11 because one of its replacements is reportedly more expensive. However, he says there are other alternatives, like hydrocarbons, that are still cheaper.

While ozone-depleting substances like CFCs altogether only contribute to about 10 percent of the warming effect of greenhouse gases, Montzka says it is the potency of these chemicals that calls for environmental concern.

“We anticipate ozone-depleting substances to drop back below pre-ozone hole levels sometime in 2050 to 2070, and if CFC-11 emissions were to persist, then that date for recovery might be pushed back 10 years,” Montzka says.

This would be frustrating, he says, to the rest of the world that has “put a lot of time and effort in See CFC-11 Page 18

ensuring compliance with the protocol.”

“The Montreal Protocol has been called the most important international treaty, not only for the ozone NOAA scientists hope to continue layer but also for climate,” Montzka says. monitoring the The Montreal Protocol, according to the U.S. State atmosphere for increased CFC-11 to Department, is the first treaty to achieve universal ratifidetermine where cation by all countries in the world. The U.S. State the source of new emissions is.

Department’s website claims that full compliance to the protocol would result in 280 million fewer cases of skin cancer worldwide.

Montzka says he is thankful to modern technologies for allowing scientists to measure these atmospheric changes directly.

“The atmosphere doesn’t lie. If somebody’s emitting some long-lived gas somewhere around the world, we’ll be able to detect it,” he says.

However, even Montzka admits that repairing the ozone layer is currently not the highest priority for climate change activism, especially compared to the threat of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane. Environmental groups like the Sierra Club have long since shifted their focus onto other issues.

“It’s a problem that’s largely been solved, which is what’s so concerning,” says Steve Herz, the senior international policy ddvisor for the Sierra Club’s International Climate and Energy Campaign.

“The Montreal Protocol has been very effective,” he says. Any production of CFC-11 is “just cheating on an effective regime.”

Other than trying to figure out who is responsible, he says there’s not much we can do about the apparent continued production of CFC-11.

“It’s not like we need to mobilize people to change laws or change behavior,” he says, because the Montreal Protocol should have been the only legal action needed.

Still, in an official statement issued on May 16, the United Nations Environment Program announced its intention to review the findings and investigate the source of the emissions.

“While current scientific models show that the ozone layer remains on track to recovery by mid-century, continued increase in global CFC-11 emissions will put that progress at risk,” the statement reads. It is “critical that we take stock of this science, identify the causes of these emissions and take necessary action.”

Montzka says that the only way to know for sure where these emissions are coming from is to continuously take measurements of the atmosphere.

“We have a fairly sensitive atmospheric measurement network for CFC-11 that allows us to detect these kinds of changes — unusual emission increases — fairly early,” he says. The key to solving this mystery is “going to the atmosphere and letting it tell us what’s happening.”

Not more, just better

Sunny Stroeer on a life of setting world records and staying humble

BY EMMA MURRAY

THE MORNING after her wedding,

Sunny Stroeer meets me at the South Mesa trailhead at 8 a.m. sharp. As I pull into the parking lot, she’s already rearranging her backpack in the side-pull door of Eddie — her 2004 Astro Van that she lived in for two years before joining her now-husband in a Boulder apartment.

“Good morning,” she yells over.

“You didn’t tell me you were getting married last night.” I jump out of my truck. Sunny walks over and leans down to wrap her iron-hard arms around me. I’d only learned about her marriage late last night after a mutual friend mentioned it.

She shrugs. “Yeah, well, it was the only time we could do it (get married), and today was the only day for our run.”

I knew at least the later half was true — between her traveling schedule as a professional athlete and my juggling of jobs, today was a small overlapping window for us to run Boulder’s Skyline Traverse together, a 16-mile link-up of trails that go up and over the five major peaks flanking Boulder’s western edge: South Boulder Peak, Bear Peak, Green Mountain, Flagstaff Mountain and Mount Sanitas. The plan was to do that, and then turn around and run the more-flat South Mesa trail back to the cars. In total, we were looking at a 30-ish-mile day, which was longer than any run I’d ever attempted.

As Sunny swung her backpack over her shoulder, cinched it tight, fixed her water hose and started her GPS watch, a thought that I’d been avoiding for the past few days popped to the forefront of my mind: I’d actually have to keep up with this 35-year-old German endurance athlete.

Boulder Weekly

I’d first met Sunny only six weeks before, when I’d cold-emailed her with an interview request. In February she’d become the third human (and first woman) to complete Argentina’s 64-mile “360 Route,” which circumnavigates and summits the second-highest of the Seven Summits, the 22,841-foot Aconcagua.

I wanted to write about her, to find out why she quit her jet-setting international consulting gig in order to pursue a van-dwelling, no-health-insurance life of adventure.

She was the one, at the end of our interview, to suggest running the Skyline together. Trotting alongside her now, toward the beginning of the trail’s first section that climbs 3,000 feet up South Boulder Peak, I started to connect more of the dots that’d led her to Eddie the Van, her marriage, and breaking trail running and high altitude mountaineering records around the world.

I knew she’d grown up just east of Frankfurt,

Germany, and that she’d come to the U.S. for college after a year of studying in Switzerland. She told me she wasn’t at all outdoorsy back then — during her time in Switzerland, she left town limits once. It was the same during the rest of her undergraduate experience at Harvard. Not until leaving Boston did she begin to entertain the idea of adventure, and mostly at the behest of a mentor who (also a race car driver) told her, “Drive fast and take chances.”

The thing is, Sunny’s not particularly fast.

Which, she’d told me before but I didn’t believe.

Within a few minutes on the trail, she’s breathing hard. “Do you mind if we walk this?”

I exhale relief: I’m also sucking wind, and we shift into a hiking pace.

“I haven’t run since coming back from Aconcagua,” she says. “This is good for me.” Considering it’s been more than two months since she left Argentina, I’m impressed she’s willing to take on a 30-mile run out of the blue, but I quickly learn that’s how Sunny rolls: When there’s no good reason not to, she just does things she knows will be hard.

Like running for 47-and-a-half hours straight around Aconcagua, or training for her first 100-mile race on a 9-mile loop, or trying to set a speed record above 20,000 feet with a respiratory infection (and succeeding).

In any case, ahead of us looms the staircase of rocks stacked along South Boulder Peak’s spine. If you don’t already know, trail running is mostly hiking uphill as fast as your lungs will allow, and then cruising see STROEER Page 22

as safely as possible downhill.

Sometimes there’s not a lot of actual running. We stomp up the boulders and finally break treeline. Behind us Eldorado Canyon shoots west and open space melts south toward Pikes Peak into the horizon.

Aconcagua was the first “big mountain” Sunny climbed without a guide, and the experience fundamentally shifted the trajectory of her life. It was 2014 and she was still working as many as 80 hours a week as an international strategy consultant. While she summitted the peak without any hiccups, she returned to the U.S. with an unpleasant aftertaste. Seeing so few women on the mountain unsettled her sense of place and purpose — it actually wasn’t so different from the business world, she realized, where she watched women default to men’s decisions all the time. “I just don’t see why that’s necessary,” she’d told me.

While she’s well versed in larger diversity issues that extend beyond the female experience, she says that’s the representation gap she’s felt firsthand the most, and the issue she wants to tackle first. Now as a full-time photographer, mountain guide and public speaker, Sunny’s mission is to be someone people look at and think: “If she can do it, I can too, and maybe even faster.”

There’s a little bit of fire in her, you could say.

Pushing up the final stretch to South Boulder’s summit, exposed on the ridge, I look around and think about the power of visibility — how true it is that I’m much more likely to think about trying something if I see someone who looks like me doing it. I’ve been passed by dozens of men, faceless, on trails before, but I’ll never forget the glacier blue eyes of the young woman who, scooting past me at 5 a.m. with nothing but climbing shoes tied to her hip, was en route to Rocky Mountain alpine terrain. What is possible out there?

Maybe that’s not how I wish my inspiration worked, but I know others feel this, too.

The trail connecting South Boulder and Bear Peak is short and sweet. We jog back down the slope together, along the path lined with trees black-burnt from the 2012 fire, and we start up Bear’s backside. Sunny’s ankle is feeling a little wonky from an old injury, so we pick our way through more rocks with care.

From Bear Peak’s summit we can

see the tips of the Flatirons down below. It’s where she met Paul, her husband, at the base of the First Flatiron. I laugh: how “Boulder” could one get?

We scan the city below and I point out where I live, underneath that one cluster of green trees. Funny how things look different from up high. When I hold my palm up to the sky, my entire home fits in a space smaller than my thumbnail.

Leading up to 2015, Sunny spent most weekends traveling, jetting off to Ouray for ice climbing or the Caribbean to scuba dive, or the Alps to meet with a then-boyfriend. Eventually she had to confront reality: What was the point of a career that demanded so much time and energy when all she wanted to do was conserve that energy for more time outside? Further: if a promotion at work demanded more time, was that, in fact, a demotion in her adventure life?

So she quit. She drove up to the roof of her parking garage in Houston, Texas, and, with a trusty handsaw, outfitted Eddie the Van with a bed platform. She pared down her belongings — in Eddie, everything needed a use, if not two or three. She learned to value materials differently.

Growing up with a doctor and financial advisor as parents and later as a professional herself, if something broke or wore out, like a tent pole or jacket, it was simply replaced.

“Fixing things is actually worth my time now,” she explains as we descend Bear Peak, telling me about the YouTube fix-it videos she’s watched and how her time, in general, is worth a lot more now. She’s happier on the road.

She’s more fulfilled. The trail here is soft and gracefully swoops downhill more than a thousand feet. Our legs fly, lungs pumping. Then we start the climb up Green Mountain and shift back to a hike.

I’ve had that experience, too, watching time grow when you escape societal constraints. The way days lengthen without cell phones or how weeks without deadlines expand is eerily magical.

I check in with Sunny about her ankle. Still off, she tells me, but OK for now.

I feel strong moving alongside her, and maybe it’s because she’s got a bum ankle and hasn’t run in the past two months, but maybe it’s because her smile, each time we stand atop a sumBoulder Weekly

Studio Arts Boulder makes plans to expand

BY SARA MCCREA

Letting people explore their artistic talents is the goal at Studio Arts Boulder Pottery Lab.

24 June 21 , 2018

eeking refuge from the June heat, student artists flocked to the airconditioned Boulder Pottery Lab for its Saturday open hours.

Inside the old Boulder Fire Department Station No. 2, the historic structure that has housed the pottery lab for the last 55 years, a handful ­of patrons sunk their fingers into cool, wet clay.

While the brick building, built in 1908, may have plenty of cool air, one thing it does not have much of is space. With stacks of plates and pots lining the walls and waiting lists for classes climbing to more than a hundred names, there’s enough interest in the pottery lab to fill an entire second facility, if it existed.

“You have to keep refreshing your page at 8 a.m. the day of class registration to get a spot,” says Caleb Smith, a student at the lab. “It’s not an exclusive system, but it’s just who gets there first.”

“In order to grow, we need more space,” says Kari Palazzari, the executive director of Studio Arts Boulder (SAB,) the nonprofit formed in 2009 that took control of the Pottery Lab from the City of Boulder in 2014. “There’s a ton of demand not being met. That’s not even thinking about the other artforms, just ceramics.”

Fortunately for those aching to try their hand at ceramics or other studio arts such as woodworking or printmaking, SAB has plans to expand. After a

FOR THE ARTS

Studio Arts Boulder has been located in the old Boulder Fire Department Station No. 2 (seen below) for the past 55 years. An expansion plan would add an 11,000+ square foot facility.

Boulder Weekly

10-acre land donation from Trammell Crow Residential in 2014, the arts organization began planning an accessible and functional arts facility, which, in a best case scenario, will be ready for use at the end of 2020. In the agreement with Trammell, SAB received land valued at $1.5 million at Diagonal Crossing, a mixed-used development, for free but will have to raise funds for the construction of the estimated $5 million project.

In November 2017, Boulder voters passed a renewal of the Community, Culture and Safety (measure 2M) tax by an overwhelming 81 percent, securing funds for SAB and six other nonprofits to develop new projects to benefit the community. SAB is slated to receive $1.75 million from the tax, the largest amount granted during the renewal. But to receive those funds, the nonprofit will have to match the amount through an ambitious capital campaign that will take place over the next couple of years. Even with the donated land and the tax funding, SAB will need to raise an additional $2 million to fully fund the project.

“I’d be lying if I didn’t say raising $2 million was daunting,” Robert Crifasi, president of the board of SAB, says. “That capital campaign is going to be critical. That said, two years ago we didn’t have tax funds behind us,” he says with a laugh.

With the help of Barrett Studio Architects, SAB is working to develop an architectural plan in preparation to receive community feedback in the fall. The new studio will offer more space and resources for students and artists to work on ceramics, printmaking, woodworking, art blacksmithing and cool glass work — all mediums that are more difficult and

expensive to practice at home. It will also likely include a gallery and new offices for members of the SAB administration, whose current offices sit in the former shower room of the fire station.

By introducing a variety of studio art mediums, the organization hopes to encourage creative collaboration and interactions between Boulder artists, Crifasi says.

As for the firehouse, SAB has no plans to leave the building that Aaron Winston, the director of the pottery lab, says makes up a large part of the identity of the organization. For now, the organization plans to keep beginner classes in the older structure while freeing up space for more intermediate and adult classes in the new facility.

“It’s been ours longer than it was a fire station and it has been a great and much-loved facility,” Palazzari says.

Although the tax renewal was passed recently, the plan to expand from the firehouse has been part of SAB since its conception. When the organization first formed, the members of its board dreamed of creating a campus for the arts, one that would make studio arts education accessible to and affordable for the Boulder County public and beyond. Many of the founding members of the organization had ties to the Pottery Lab, so when the City was looking to lease the building in 2014, SAB’s takeover of the lab seemed a natural fit. And a needed one.

Since SAB’s founding, Winston believes there has been not only a local, but a nationwide increase in demand for the maker and studio arts movements.

“With our political climate, people have wanted to disconnect from that, put their phones away and actually do something physical, tangible and with their hands,” Winston says.

Palazzari speaks to some of the

overarching benefits of taking lessons at the Pottery Lab, including finding a community where she could connect with people of different political viewpoints and backgrounds.

“It breeds empathy and connection across difference, which is critical for building community and for our civic conversations to be more civil and productive,” Palazzari says.

Although Palazzari emphasizes that increasing arts education can help any community, she also notes that Boulder is well primed for work with ceramics, where the final product rarely turns out as the artist plans.

“In Boulder, I think people appreciate having a well-rounded life. You can have someone who’s in tech, for example, and they’re also a bike racer on the weekends.

People look at their lives in a very balanced way, and having a creative outlet is part of that,” Palazzari says. “A lot of people here understand that zen of living and they strive to live with that kind of awareness, not only being a whole person but also being able to roll with the punches a little bit and not be attached to particular things in a really dogmatic way.”

With Boulder’s focus on protecting the environment and fostering an active lifestyle, Crifasi says Boulder’s arts culture has fallen behind, especially compared to smaller cities like Santa Fe and neighborhoods like the River North Art District (RiNo) in Denver. He hopes the new arts facility will encourage a surge of appreciation for the arts in the area, as well as allow people to value the arts as an important part of a wellrounded lifestyle.

“I’m excited about it,” Crifasi says.

“I think we have a pretty cool opportunity here and I really think it’s something we need in town. If you’re in a tech job or staring at a computer all day, wouldn’t it be really great to get your fingers into the mud?”

eople live on the island of Manhattan their entire lives and never visit the Statue of Liberty. There are lifelong Arizonans who’ve never stood at the edge of the Grand Canyon, San Franciscans who’ve never gazed awestruck at the redwoods on the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge, and New Orleanians who’ve never listened to jazz at Preservation Hall or the Spotted Cat. Most people think that in Colorado the “How have you never?” equivalent are those droves of Centennial State natives who boast about never having skied or snowboarded.

That analogy isn’t entirely apposite. Skiing and snowboarding, though closely identified with Colorado’s stretch of the Rocky Mountains, require acquired skills, specialized equipment and not inconsiderable expenditures of both time and money. The truer corollary would be all the Denverites and Boulderites who have never partaken of the Colorado Shakespeare Festival.

Now in its 61st season, the Colorado Shakespeare Festival (CSF) has earned its ranking as one of the premier Shakespeare festivals in the country. Because it takes place on CU’s Boulder campus, many people make the mistake of thinking the CSF features student performers when, in reality, it is a 100-percent professional theatrical endeavor. Just like New York’s Shakespeare in the Park, the CSF draws top-flight actors and directors from around the world. Over the years, CSF audiences have had the pleasure of watching the likes of Val Kilmer, Annette Bening, Jimmy Smits and Barry Corbin trod the boards.

Given the slate of plays at this year’s Colorado Shakespeare Festival, it could be considered more of a hipster — or even contrarian — season.

Rite of passage

Cold War Kids grow up and look back

by Alan Sculley

C overtones

old War Kids singer/ guitarist Nathan Willett feels his group has occupied a rather rare and enviable niche in the music world so far during their career.

The group is widely considered an indie band, yet has also been able to get a few tastes of mainstream pop success without losing the indie credibility they established early on.

Having been able to exist in both the indie and mainstream pop worlds is a situation Willett doesn’t take for granted.

“We’ve had that kind of unique and great problem that while we have never had an enormous breakout, we have also ... had an amazing ability to just maintain a certain level of popularity and sticking around,” Willett says. “In many ways, that’s such an amazing feat in itself.

“Of course, the stories of a young band that does have big, big success early and not knowing how, not being prepared for that [are all too common],” he says. “So we were very fortunate to grow on our own time, and that means musically writing and recording–wise as well as [performances]. I think just kind of the ideology of the band has gotten to grow at our own pace, which, again, I think is incredibly rare for anybody ... who has that kind of one foot in the, I guess, sort of mainstream success, success at radio and stuff like that, and then another foot in the kind of more cult audience or fans that just love us for being us.

That’s kind of the dream. That’s the best thing you can have, really.”

But as Cold War Kids tour behind their latest studio album, L.A. Divine, as well as a newly released live album, Audience, Willett sounds ready to see the scales of success tip more toward the mainstream pop world. And there are reasons to believe a breakthrough in mainstream pop might be more within reach than ever for Cold War Kids, which formed in 2004 in Fullerton, California. With L.A. Divine, the band has six full-length studio albums to go Boulder Weekly

with 10 EPs in their catalog. For one thing, as Willett noted, a number of indie acts (including Alabama Shakes, The Black Keys and Arctic Monkeys) have scored mainstream breakthroughs in recent years without losing the qualities that made them unique in the first place.

And Cold War Kids’ previous album, Hold My Home, also gave the group their first No. 1 hit when the gold-certified single “First” topped Billboard’s Alternative Rock singles chart.

And now, with L.A. Divine, Willett feels the group has found ways to modernize its sound to fit pop radio without forsaking the vintage elements that have long been a part of the band’s musical identity.

In making L.A. Divine, original band members Willett and bassist Matt Maust, along with more recent recruits Joe Plummer (drums), Matthew Schwartz (keyboards/guitar) and David Quon (guitar), have put a more modern pop sheen on the collection of 14 songs, while still weaving some piano, guitar and drums into the sound.

Uptempo tunes like “So Tied Up” (one of three L.A. Divine tunes included on the live Audience album), “Open Up to The Heavens” and “Invincible” have the kind of sing-along vocal hooks, danceable beats and pop melodies that fit current Top-40 trends, but also retain the nervy edginess that has often characterized Cold War Kids’ music.

But there’s still an indie feel and attitude to several songs. “No Reason To Run” mixes a bit of gospel into its

piano pop sound. “Love is Mystical” (which reached No. 2 on Billboard’s Alternative Rock singles chart) and “Wilshire Protest,” with their pounding piano, jagged melodies and Willett’s caffeinated vocals, echo signatures that first surfaced on the group’s 2006 debut album, Robbers & Cowards, and the 2008 follow-up, Loyalty to Loyalty.

This summer, Cold War Kids are mostly playing headlining dates, and the Audience album, which was recorded last September, reflects the kind of show the band tries to present. It features a 16-song career-spanning set, and Willett knows the band’s catalog is deep enough now that, while the shows cover a lot of ground musically, a few songs some fans want to hear may not be played on a particular date.

“Having this much music and this many records and EPs and all that, it’s so fun to be able to choose from so much. I always kind of had in the back of my mind that I hoped there would come a time when we could just have this music to pick from,” he says.

“Now we have whole records that we don’t play any songs from during a set list, which is one of those things where it could be a bummer for a fan.

But when you cross over into that territory of fans that come to see you and sort of know that that’s the kind of band you are and you have a lot of material and you’re trying to keep it fresh for yourself, obviously we want fans to hear what they came to hear, but also (fans know) that it’s going to be a little different every time. That’s the most fun to me.”

‘Incredibles 2’ feels bad for moms and dads by Ryan Syrek

O

ver the years, The Incredibles has, somewhat cloyingly, become the thinking person’s answer to “best superhero movie.” Writer/director Brad Bird’s original, stylishly sly Fantastic Four riff remains a very fun, very good movie that has been heightened to the status of “unassailable classic” by the irresistibly immovable force of nostalgia.

Maybe that’s why Incredibles 2 — itself a very fun, very good movie — feels kinda like a mild disappointment. Waiting 14 years for something that doesn’t wind up being earth-shatteringly brilliant feels like raising a teenager who pulls down a 3.0 GPA and is defined by a love of the saxophone. That’s a perfectly good and pleasant outcome! It’s just that everyone was kind of hoping for the next Marie Curie or LeBron James... Look, nobody’s disappointed! We’re just not “appointed,” you know?

Despite taking a high-schooler’s lifespan to get going in the real world, Incredibles 2 starts in the immediate wake of the first film. Mr. Incredible (Craig T. Nelson) and Elastigirl (Holly Hunter) are joined by their children, Violet (Sarah Vowell) and Dash (Huck Milner), and Frozone (Samuel L.

It’s a perfectly legal again. fine and fun follow-up that has This arrangement means Mr. Incredible little to say beyond sympathizing with stressed and tired has to stay home with the kids, including moms and dads everywhere. baby Jack-Jack, whose burgeoning powers turn him from adorable booboo into a literal hellspawn. So he’s basically exactly like every real baby. Despite Incredibles 2 being set in a world without smartphones, an evil villain named Screenslaver uses technology to hypnotize and manipulate others. If you guessed that this all leads to a spectacular superheroic showdown, your GPA was at least on par with an aforementioned saxophone player’s.

The world of The Incredibles is still a helluva place to visit. The pop-art-esque depiction of 1960s-era atmosphere remains just as fun to look at, and the Incredible family is just as relatable and endearing. Poo-pooing physics costs less for cartoons, so the rip-roaring action sequences are as gloriously pulpy as the comedy beats are indignantly irresistible. Bird even wisely limits the breakout character he voices, Enda Mode, to a delightfully apportioned supporting role.

The original came out near the birth of the current superhero cinematic boom and served as a sort of Mr. Rogers-ish reminder to temper adventurous imagination stories with kindness and love. This second film could have easily commented on the over-proliferation and potential exploitation of comic book source material. Instead, it opted to massage the backs of beleaguered parents in the audience, many of whom were just kids themselves when the original was released. That’s a perfectly good and pleasant outcome! It’s just that some of us were kind of hoping for more than a “feminism is validating that raising kids is hard” message...

Incredibles 2 never justifies “why now” or tries to do more than make people who love their families despite life’s frustration feel good. That doesn’t prevent it from being a very fun, very good movie. It does, however, mean nobody will breathlessly be waiting 14 years to see what’s next.

his is not based on a true story; this is a true story.” So proclaims the title ON THE BILL: American Animals. 2, 4:30, 7, and 9:25 cards that open American Animals — a p.m. Thursday, June 21, documentary/narrative hybrid that is Landmark Esquire, 590 N. almost too good to be true. And it is Downing St, Denver, landmarktheatres.com/denver/ true, but in a circuitous manner. Truth is a esquire-theatre fickle thing: look straight at it, and you’ll miss it every time. Take another glance from a cockeyed angle, and the world will reveal itself to you.

Written and directed by British filmmaker Bart Layton, American Animals is a four-person memoir recounting the events leading up to one of the oddest and, frankly, stupidest heists in recent American history: the theft of three rare books from Lexington, Kentucky’s, Transylvania University in 2004.

Initially conceived by Spencer Reinhard, then a freshman at the nearby University of Kentucky, the plan was to steal the university’s copies of Darwin’s On the Origin of Species and Audubon’s Birds of America and sell them on the black market for millions. But how does one do that? Enter Warren Lipka, just the friend your mother always warned you about. Lipka excels at running with bad ideas, and after some cursory research from movies and a few disreputable websites, he sets the plan in motion.

Lipka finds a guy who knows a guy who can fence the books, tracks down an auction house in New York that will authenticate the books and enlists the help of two more people — Eric Borsuk as lookout and Chas Allen as getaway driver. All four are young, dumb and full of you-know-what and looking for an experience to validate their existence.

They are not robbers, but they play them in their minds.

But Layton does not merely recreate all this for the camera. Well, he does — Barry Keoghan, Evan Peters, Jared Abrahamson and Blake Jenner play the fourwannabe thieves — but he also incorporates the reflections of Reinhard, Lipka, Borsuk and Allen in modern-day interviews. Now in their 30s, these men talk openly and candidly to Layton’s camera. Their main interest is in conveying the societal pressures that surrounded them. School, sports, the need to be someone and do something ultimately shaped their decision to go through with the heist.

But that’s not what interests Layton. The way he cuts back and forth between these contemporary interviews and the re-enactments suggests that memory is his ultimate aim.

“Looking back on it,” Reinhard confesses to the camera, “I’ve often wondered which events I remember from Warren’s point of view or I remember from my own. And if it was easier to choose one over the other because of what it provided for us.”

Cinema is not a memory fundamentalist medium. By their very nature, movies converge multiple points of view, rationales and interpretations into a larger, broader narrative. Everything you see in American Animals is true, to at least one person involved. And when the movie doubles back in the third act, reconsidering moments we barely even questioned the first time around, it hits you: Even the viewer is culpable in how a story is told and then re-told. It’s all true, even the parts we made up.

Four courses to try in and around Boulder County this week

menu THE TASTING

Austin Steak Sandwich Photos by staff

Waterloo 817 Main St., Louisville, waterloolouisville.com

W

aterloo’s Austin steak sandwich falls somewhere on the meat sandwich spectrum between the Philly cheese steak and the sausage and peppers sandwich. It’s got some robust, spicy steak that’s pounded thin and tender, piled on a long, chewy hoagie roll. To that, Waterloo adds sautéed, juicy peppers and onions, and a spicy queso sauce that’s hard to resist. Truth is though, no matter what you order, it’s always fun to stop in at the Waterloo. $12.

Mojo Chicken Coabana 701 Main St., Louisville, coabana.net

S

The Phinney

tep into Coabana in Louisville and you’re liable to want to stay there all day. It’s bright, it’s festive, the drinks are fun and inventive, and the food is unique and well-prepared. Their lunch menu pares down an objectively wild and exciting dinner menu, but you can still taste some Cuban staples, like the mojo chicken. Char-grilled chicken drum and thigh are seasoned powerfully and served alongside queso fresco and spicy aji. The dish comes with a solid portion of black beans and rice. Drink it with your choice of daiquiri; it’ll likely be the best you can find in Boulder County. $11.

Rueben’s Burger Bistro 1800 Broadway, Boulder, ruebensburgerbistro.com

F

ew things in life go together as well as apples and brie. The tartness of the fruit, the creamy funk of the cheese, the balance of soft and crispy textures... it’s a match made in culinary heaven. Reuben’s Burger Bistro finds a way to put this pairing on a pedestal, by poaching green apples in Bourbon, sticking them on a hulking burger and melting slices of brie over the top. They go the extra mile by adding in a honey aioli, which provides a sweetness that just feels right. Best part of all is that $1 from every Phinney purchased goes to the Phinney Foundation for Parkinson’s. $12.95.

Boulder Weekly

Cafe Latte Gabee Coffee 3040 28th St., Boulder, gabeecoffee.com

O

ut of the ashes of a Quizno’s comes a refreshing take on coffee. Taiwan’s Gabee Coffee Shop has received numerous barista and coffee-making awards, and it’s clear Boulder’s Gabee is committed to the same principles of fine coffee-making. It’s got a large menu of coffee and non-coffee drinks, and some state-of-the art brewing machines. The latte is straight-forward, creamy goodness, and one finds out upon getting the drink that Gabee is capable of some fun latte art. $3.50.

nibbles

BY JOHN LEHNDORFF

I

’ve been writing Nibbles for 30 years or so. Some columns have virtually written themselves. This one has been agony, a bitter pill to swallow. I never thought I’d have to write about Anthony Bourdain in the past tense. It’s such a terrible loss to a world in need of humans like him.

For those of us who write about food and travel, it’s like the death of a family member. Tony was the kind of first-person journalist we secretly wished we could be.

“Swashbuckling” was a word seldom applied to chefs and food writers before Bourdain’s no-holds-barred Kitchen Confidential was published in 2000. He told the unvarnished truth about restaurant life, minus the BS and equivocation but with humor and humanity. I knew it was true because I had spent years sweating in the eatery kitchens of Boulder.

What became clear when Bourdain started producing his three television series on food and travel was that they wallowed in eating yet were never really about the food. CNN’s Parts Unknown concentrated on encountering people, culture and cuiBoulder Weekly

sine on their own terms.

Leading Americans by their taste buds, he introduced them to folks like them across the globe as well as down the street.

Watching Bourdain eat everything from noodles in Hanoi to crawfish étouffée in the bayou has sparked a generation of travelers who want to taste the real thing.

Regrets? I have a few including the fact that I didn’t interview Anthony Bourdain when I had the opportunity. I think I was intimidated by the prospect of meeting him, not to mention keeping up with him. I assumed I would have other chances to chat. I was wrong.

I was thinking about Bourdain as I was watching The Great American Read (pbs.org/the-great-american-read). The new, eight-part PBS series focused on a list of America’s 100 bestloved novels as determined by a national survey.

As a writer, I’m thrilled by anything that brings us back to the written word. This list includes many personal fiction favor-

What Would Tony Do?

NIBBLES from Page 43

ites from Catch-22 to A Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. However, I was dismayed to see how few of the many food-focused literary classics made America’s list.

It’s true that some listed novels from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland to Moby Dick and The Godfather to The Joy Luck Club have important themes and scenes that revolve around cooking and eating.

Where are the masterpieces such as Babette’s Feast and Like Water for Chocolate?

Why didn’t Heartburn by Nora Ephron make the cut or, at the very least, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl? It’s as if novels that focus on food are somehow trivial or less memorable.

During your summer reading, explore some of these novels as well as essential non-fiction landmarks from Kitchen Confidential to Calvin Trillin’s Alice Let’s Eat. Also, get out and taste a totally unfamiliar cuisine and order something that scares you just a little.

As Bourdain said: “Walk in someone else’s shoes or at least eat their food. It’s a plus for everybody.”

Food letter to the editor

“Ahem. John Lehndorff (Re: “Royal Couple,” Nibbles, May 24, 2018): The proper way to harvest asparagus is to bring along a small sharp knife when scavenging the wild stalks. Cut the stalk just below the dirt line. You can then trim off the woody section. The stalk will then produce again. ... I went asparagus hunting this morning and saw many a snapped stalk. It saddened me.”

This year’s asparagus season is over, but I apologize if any wild asparagus was harmed in the making of Nibbles. However, I am not currently in favor of mandating hunting licenses for those who stalk asparagus.

Taste of the week

I love the smell of cinnamon raisin bread toasting in the morning. When coffee is brewing simultaneously, it’s aromatherapy of the first order. Rudi’s Bakery Cinnamon Raisin Bread has been on the menu in Boulder since Sheldon Romer opened the bakery in 1975 and named it after Swami Rudrananda. Beyond simply cinnamon-y, these slices are so dense, moist and sweet they require a double-toasting to get them crisp at all.

Fairly pricey for such itty bitty loaves, the bread is organic, non-GMO, kosher, vegan, dairy-free and made from organic whole wheat flour, raisins, evaporated cane juice, sunflower seeds, sea salt and cinnamon.

This bread makes profoundly good French toast. Well-toasted, it marries well with sweet butter and soft cheeses like Longmont-made Haystack Snowdrop and MouCo Ashley from Fort Collins. These days Rudi’s Organic Bakery is under the guidance of New York-based Hain Celestial, which also owns another Boulder legacy natural foods brand, Celestial Seasonings Tea.

Words to chew on

“Mexicans cook a large percentage of the food we eat, grow the ingredients we need to make that food. ... As any chef will tell you, our entire service economy — the restaurant business as we know it — in most American cities, would collapse overnight without Mexican workers.” —Anthony Bourdain John Lehndorff is a catering prep cook. He hosts Radio Nibbles at 8:25 a.m.

David Janowiec on boiling and sharing crawfish at the Erie Firecracker

had an idea to make it quirkier. ost people tip-toe up to the table “My wife is from New Orleans. I was down there and say, ‘Woah, this is weird.

Crawfish? Like mini-lobsters?’ And with some of her family for a crawfish boil, and it blew me away because I’d never seen anything like they don’t know how to eat them,” that before,” he says. “I was like, ‘Let’s do this.’” says David Janowiec, who’s hosting Janowiec and Co. eventually the Erie Firecracker, a combination relocated to Colorado, and when the 4K race, party and crawfish boil, on Courtesy of David Janowiec Erie Parks and Recreation July 1. “But then you get a handful Department was looking to deposit of people who know what they’re its 4K, the Firecracker, on a private doing. They grew up in the South, event company, Janowiec jumped at and those are the people who sign the chance. up for the race just to eat the crawfish.”

At first, Janowiec tried to take on Janowiec laughs thinking about the duties of running the race and those people. Well, one of them. the crawfish boil. But a match was “We had a woman last year who made in Cajun heaven when Lee brought her own melted butter in a Carter, the owner of Miner’s Tavern Tupperware tub.

doing to get the right amount of seasoning, the right amount of veggies and the right temperature in the water. ... It’s nice to have [Carter]. He takes more precautions, and it takes a lot of pressure off of me.”

Even though you can set out a trap in a ditch (if you follow the rules) and catch some Colorado crawfish, it’s easier to have them shipped in, live, from Louisiana overnight.

“We’ll get them on Saturday about 11 a.m., then they’ll go the fridge,” Janowiec says. “Usually they’re in a huge Styrofoam cooler or a big cardboard box lined with plastic or ice. They come in nets, and they’re all live crawling around in there.

“You hose them all off, soak them in water, drain the water so it rinses off the Louisiana dirt. And then in the meantime, you’ve got your corn, you’ve got your potatoes, onions, your seasoning. Sausage if you want. Mushrooms. All that stuff already going in the pot, and then once you’re so far along boiling all that stuff, that’s when you drop in the crawfish.”

Janowiec says the patrons at the event will go through a couple hundred pounds. Pots are rotated throughout the afternoon to make sure there is enough to feed everyone.

Anyone who has had the pleasure of partaking in a crawfish boil knows that, for a beginner, it takes about a dozen crawfish to get the hang of cracking its shell.

Janowiec and Carter will be on hand to help crawfish virgins out with the de-shelling and slurping.

“We’ll show people how to twist the heads and peel the abdomen and eat the meat out,” Janowiec says. “If you’re a real crawfish fan, you’ll suck the juice out of the head. It’s buttery, kind of meaty tasting. We’ll show people how to do it.”

If you do go to the crawfish boil at the Erie Firecracker, trust Janowiec, really, and suck out the head while the meat’s still in your mouth. All the spices and juices that mix together as the crawfish cooks get caught up in the head, so you’d be missing out on about 60 percent of the flavor.

If you’re still squeamish, however, Janowiec thinks watching children twist, crush and slurp will inspire you to try it out.

“We’ll invite ten kids up to the stage, and they stand and each grab a crawfish,” Janowiec says. “A 3-year-old, a 5-year-old. One 10-year-old. Usually we try to find the really young ones who want to do that, and we’ll have those kids teach the adults how to eat a crawfish. We’ll say, ‘Hold the crawfish out in front of you, twist the head off and pull.’ A lot of kids think it’s a bug, so they’re not scared of it like the adults are.”

The crawfish boil is the ultimate community event, with people taking hours to shell and eat crawfish while they sip beer and share stories. That makes it ideal for Erie, Janowiec says, because of how “family-friendly” the community is. Too, with the 4K and other races, the slip-and-slide finish, the foam pit and other recreational oddities, Janowiec says it’s an ideal event for Colorado.

“Fitness and beer and food go together well here,” he says.

drink Know your brew: Lager

Lager, lager everywhere, I think I’ll have a drink by Michael J. Casey

M

uch like penicillin and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, lager’s genesis was accidental. As the story goes, lager was discovered in Bavaria (or neighboring Bohemia, depending on what you read) in the 1500s when brewers stored their beer in cool caves to halt the fermentation process. But on this occasion, the yeast strain loved the cold and continued to ferment, producing a cleaner, more refined beer. Quite the discovery, considering brewers back then weren’t even working with a thermometer. Soon the accident became a process, and these Eastern European brewers became synonymous with their lager (German for “to store”), and when they emigrated to the U.S. in the mid-19th century, they brought their prized possession with them.

Jump ahead 150 years and lager beer is roughly the same in practice, though vastly different in culture. Three of those aforementioned immigrants — Adolphus Busch, Adolph Coors and Frederick Miller — went on to build beer empires, transforming Michael J. Casey American beerdrinking habits and making lager the most consumed beer style on the planet.

That might explain why many craft beer drinkers often malign lager; ubiquity is easily dismissed. Even while calling lager the perfect “porch beer” or “lawnmower beer,” their praise carries a subtle dig.

True, lager may not have the bracing bitterness or pungent aromas the hopheads are looking for, and though some brew lagers with adjuncts, it doesn’t carry nearly the same flavor profile of a pastry stout.

And since most lagers prize their crystal clear appearance, the haze craze has all but passed them by.

But despite its simplicity, lager is a supremely versatile beer. Clean, crisp and refreshing, expressing malt characteristics with just a touch of hop bitterness, these beers are great for the dinner table, particularly spicy Mexican and Asian cuisine.

Be it blisteringly hot green chili or sweet and nutty Thai curry; lager cuts through sugar and spice like a cleaver through warm butter. It even goes nicely with grilled fish or salade Niçoise. And Italians reach for lager, not wine, to drink with pizza.

And where does one procure these delicious lagers? Start with Wibby Brewing’s Lightshine Helles. Wibby is the place to go in Boulder County when craving a well-crafted lager, and Lightshine might be its most iconic. Clean malt taste through and through; this beer finishes slightly sweet with nary a bite.

Looking north, Odell Brewing Co.’s recent release — the Colorado Lager — is easily one of its best offerings, and that’s saying something. Crystal clear and positively brilliant, Colorado Lager pours like canned sunbeams in your kitchen.

Slightly floral, but not at all musty or dank, this lager exhibits clean hop flavors alongside malt for a supremely refreshing beverage.

And if you’re up for a drive, then head over to Bierstadt Lagerhaus in Denver.

Currently, it offers a historical re-creation: 1910 St. Louis Lager made from rice grits, 6-row malt and macro lager yeast. The nose is clean, the mouth is soft, the finish is crisp and the experience is uplifting.

ARIES

MARCH 21-APRIL 19: According to my analysis of the

astrological omens, you have cosmic permission to enjoy extra helpings of waffles, crepes, pancakes and blintzes. Eating additional pastries and doughnuts is also encouraged. Why? Because it’s high time for you to acquire more ballast. You need more gravitas and greater stability. You can’t afford to be top-heavy; you must be hard to knock over. If you would prefer not to accomplish this noble goal by adding girth to your butt and gut, find an alternate way. Maybe you could put weights on your shoes and think very deep thoughts.

TAURUS

APRIL 20-MAY 20: You’re slipping into the wild heart of

the season of discovery. Your curiosity is mounting. Your listening skills are growing more robust. Your willingness to be taught and influenced and transformed is at a peak. And what smarter way to take advantage of this fertile moment than to decide what you most want to learn about during the next three years? For inspiration, identify a subject you’d love to study, a skill you’d eagerly stretch yourself to master, and an invigorating truth that would boost your brilliance if you thoroughly embodied it.

back, and then I would send you out on a vision quest to discover your best possible future. In other words, my dear Scorpio, I hope you will flee your usual haunts. Get out of the loop and into the open spaces that will refresh your eyes and heart.

It refers to what happens when you’re already full, but find the food in front of you so delicious that you can’t stop eating. I’m concerned you might soon be tempted to embark on metaphorical versions of shemomechama. That’s why I’m giving you a warning to monitor any tendencies you might have to get too much of a good thing. Pleasurable and productive activities will serve you better if you stop yourself before you go too far.

PISCES

FEB. 19-MARCH 20: Please do not send me a lock of your

hair or a special piece of your jewelry or a hundred dollar bill. I will gladly cast a love spell in your behalf without draining you of your hard-earned cash. The only condition I place on my free gift is that you agree to have me cast the love spell on you and you alone. After all, your love for yourself is what needs most work. And your love for yourself is the primary magic that fuels your success in connecting with other people. (Besides, it’s bad karma to use a love spell to interfere with another person’s will.)

So if you accept my conditions, Pisces, demonstrate that you’re ready to receive my telepathic love spell by sending me your telepathic authorization.

GEMINI

MAY 21-JUNE 20: Playwright and novelist Samuel Beckett

won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1969. Four of his works were essential in earning that award: the play Waiting for Godot, and the novels Molloy, Malone Dies and The Unnamable. Beckett wrote all of them in a two-year span during the late 1940s. During that time, he was virtually indigent. He and his companion Suzanne survived on the paltry wage she made as a dressmaker. We might draw the conclusion from his life story that it is at least possible for a person to accomplish great things despite having little money. I propose that we make Beckett your role model for the coming weeks, Gemini. May he inspire you to believe in your power to become the person you want to be no matter what your financial situation may be.

CANCER

JUNE 21-JULY 22: I suggest you ignore the temptation

to shop around for new heroes and champions. It would only distract you from your main assignment in the coming weeks, which is to be more of a hero and champion yourself.

Here are some tips to guide you as you slip beyond your overly modest self-image and explore the liberations that may be possible when you give yourself more credit. Tip #1: Finish outgrowing the old heroes and champions who’ve served you well. Tip #2: Forgive and forget the disappointing heroes and hypocritical champions who betrayed their own ideals. Tip #3: Exorcise your unwarranted admiration for mere celebrities who might have snookered you into thinking they’re heroes or champions.

LEO

JULY 23-AUG. 22: “A waterfall would be more impressive

if it flowed the other way,” said Irish writer Oscar Wilde.

Normally, I would dismiss an idea like this, even though it’s funny and I like funny ideas. Normally, I would regard such a negative assessment of the waterfall’s true nature, even in jest, to be unproductive and enfeebling. But none of my usual perspectives are in effect as I evaluate the possibility that Wilde’s declaration might be a provocative metaphor for your use in the coming weeks. For a limited time only, it might be wise to meditate on a waterfall that flows the other way.

VIRGO

AUG. 23-SEPT. 22: Stage magicians may seem to make a

wine glass hover in mid-air or transform salt into diamonds or make doves materialize and fly out of their hands. It’s all fake, of course — tricks performed by skilled illusionists. But here’s a twist on the old story: I suspect that for a few weeks, you will have the power to generate effects that may, to the uninitiated, have a resemblance to magic tricks — except that your magic will be real, not fake. And you will have worked very hard to accomplish what looks easy and natural.

And the marvels you generate will, unlike the illusionists’, be authentic and useful.

LIBRA

SEPT. 23-OCT. 22: The coming weeks will be a favorable time

to accentuate and brandish the qualities that best exemplify your Libran nature. In other words, be extreme in your moderation.

Be pushy in your attempts to harmonize. Be bold and brazen as you make supple use of your famous balancing act. I’ll offer you a further piece of advice, as well. My first astrology teacher believed that when Librans operate at peak strength, their symbol of power is the iron fist in the velvet glove: power expressed gracefully, firmness rendered gently. I urge you to explore the nuances of that metaphor.

SCORPIO

OCT. 23-NOV. 21: If I were your mom, I’d nudge you out the

door and say, “Go play outside for a while!” If I were your commanding officer, I’d award you a shiny medal for your valorous undercover work and then order you to take a frisky sabbatical.

If I were your psychotherapist, I would urge you to act as if your past has no further power to weigh you down or hold you

Dear Dan: I’m a straight guy in a LTR with a bi woman. We recently had a threesome with a bi male acquaintance. We made it clear that I’m not into guys and that she was going to be the center of attention. He said he was fine with this. A little bit into us hooking up, he said he wanted to suck my dick. I wasn’t sure about it at first, but my girlfriend encouraged it because she thought it was hot. I ended up saying yes, but I stated that I didn’t want to reciprocate. A bit later, while my girlfriend was sucking his dick, he said he wanted me to join her. I said no, he kept badgering me to do it, I kept saying no, and then he physically tried to shove my head down toward his crotch. My girlfriend and I both got pissed and said he had to leave. Now he’s bitching to our mutual friends about how I had an insecure straight-boy freak-out, he didn’t get to come after we both got ours, we’re shitty selfish fetishists, and so on. I’m concerned about what our friends think of me, but even more so, I’m concerned that I did a shitty thing. I get that maybe he was hoping I’d change my mind, especially after I changed my mind about him sucking my dick. But I don’t think it’s fair for him to be angry that I didn’t. Is oral reciprocation so necessary that it doesn’t matter that we agreed in advance that I would not be blowing him?

—Not One To Be Inconsiderate Dear NOTBI: You did nothing wrong. And if after hearing your side of

by Dan Savage

the story, NOTBI, your mutual friends side with a person who pressured you to do something you were clear about not wanting to do and then, after you restated your opposition to performing said act, pressured you to perform the act — by physically forcing your head down to his cock — you can solve the “mutual friends” problem by cutting these socalled friends out of your life.

Dear Dan: Without snooping, I came across texts between my wife “Mary” and a guy “Jeremy” of a very sexual nature. While I would be OK if she were doing this and I knew about it, this has been going on since before we met. (We’ve been together 10 years.) She says she has never met him in person (despite communicating with him for more than a decade!) and this was the only thing she was doing that she thought would have been out of bounds. Again, if I had known, it would have been fine. I’m not OK with her being with other guys, but I know harmless flirting can be a release. Still, I have issues with anxiety and depression, and this is definitely triggering me. I do not want to snoop and I want to trust her, but I

Love

am having a hard time with both. Prior to this, it never occurred to me that Mary would do anything that had a whiff of dishonesty about it. But her having kept this from me for as long as I have known her has made me question that. I don’t want to keep bringing this up to her, but I am struggling with it. What do you think I should do?

—Upset In The Midwest Dear UITM: I think you should get over it. Easier said than done, I realize, particularly with the twin burdens of anxiety and depression. But if you would have been fine with this had you known — if there was no reason for Mary to hide this LTR-of-sorts from you — the best way to prove that to her is by giving it your retroactive blessing.

You’re right, UITM: Mary shouldn’t have hidden this from you. But she assumed — incorrectly, as it turned out — you would have a problem with those texts. It was a reasonable assumption on her part, since swapping flirty texts with a stranger is regarded as “out of bounds” by most. While this makes Mary’s failure to disclose look a little

worse, we live in a culture that defines absolutely everything as cheating — don’t get me started on the idiocy that is “micro-infidelities” and the idiots pushing that toxic concept — and as a consequence, people not only lack perspective (oh, to live in a world where everyone regarded harmless flirtation as no big deal!) but also the language to honestly discuss our need for a little harmless erotic affirmation from someone who isn’t obligated to find us attractive, i.e., not a spouse or partner.

Put yourself in Mary’s shoes for a moment. When should she have told you about Jeremy? What would you have done if on the third or fourth date, she looked up from her menu and said, “I’ve been swapping flirty texts with this guy for, oh, the last several years. I have no interest in him in real life, we’ve actually never even met in person, but I enjoy his texts and would like to keep swapping texts with him. I hope that’s not a problem.” You would have dumped her on the spot, right? She didn’t want to stop, she didn’t know how to talk about it, she hesitated, and... a decade went by.

If there’s nothing else — if no other shoes drop — give this your retroactive blessing..

How to calm down when the world’s on fire

T

he Trump administration is aging me dramatically. It feels like this country has been in a perpetual state of chaos with the seemingly endless stream of injustices and accounts of preventable human suffering happening every day. It is more important now than ever to become an activist by practicing integrity and making sure that your actions align with your morals, values and the things you preach about on Facebook.

We should all be voting, donating our money and time to causes we believe in, calling our representatives to tell them how we really feel, and generally striving to be good, empathetic humans who treat strangers with kindness and basic respect.

Even if you’re taking positive actions every day, it’s still easy to feel helpless at times.

We’re being bombarded with horrific stories every time we look at a screen, which can be emotionally draining and bring up a lot of painful or hard-to-handle feelings. This significantly affects our mood and makes us more likely to see our own personal problems as more threatening, distressing and overwhelming to the point of inducing anxiety attacks.

I personally found myself paralyzed this week after seeing photos and audio clips of migrant children being ripped away from their parents. The suffering of strangers triggers such strong emotions in

Boulder Weekly

me sometimes that everything else in my life feels pointless. When I reach that state, I’m pretty useless to incite change or even help myself. It’s not a place I want to dwell, so I’m going to share some of the ways I cope with stress personally. Now, I’m not suggesting everyone should just hide behind their privilege by unplugging and running away into the mountains because the news is too unbearable to handle. No, there’s too much work to be done, especially if you’re in a position to lend your voice to people that have none. However, chronic stress and panic attacks will render you unproductive and eventually kill you, so make sure you’re taking care of yourself because saving the world requires a lot of energy.

Here are some of my favorite coping mechanisms to help me calm down (that don’t involve leaving my doctor voicemails about Xanax):

Get outside and move around If you feel anxiety coming on, take a look at your surroundings. Are you in a crowded, climate-controlled, artificially lit room staring at a screen? That’s not natural. Go outside and release some endorphins by walking around. The hardest part is getting out the door, but it’s always so worth it because fresh air and sunshine can be healing and boost your mood immediately.

Smoke weed So I have never been one of those people who experiences intense anxiety when they smoke, but I know those people exist so obviously don’t do this if you know it only makes it worse. Marijuana is a relaxing experience for me because it slows down my thoughts and helps bring me into the moment. If I’m in a mood and really need to chill, I’ll pair a joint with everything else on this list. If you’ve had a bad experience with it in the past, just be mindful of your dosage and start small.

Look for strains that are high in CBD that allow you to relax without feeling foggy-headed. Get stoned in an environment where you feel peaceful and safe, either alone or with friends you can be your true self around.

Meditate I know it sounds so basic, but meditating is like the best thing ever for racing thoughts or when you feel like you’re going into panic mode. It’s basically sleep that you get to be awake for. Download some meditation apps on your phone. Try guided meditations or coming up with a personal mantra. There are a million ways to do it, and there’s a reason the practice has been around for thousands of years, so look into it.

Stop doing all the other things you know stress you out but keep doing anyways Cut down on sugar, get quality sleep, don’t look at your phone before bed, don’t check your email when you first wake up, be less of a slave to your social media notifications, drink less coffee, try yoga, find a good therapist, etc. We all have an ongoing list of personal habits that we’d like to change or improve because we know it will lead to becoming better versions of ourselves. Don’t try to do everything at once, but incorporate little changes and see how self-efficacy builds your confidence and lowers your stress because you’re committing to yourself and doing something you said you would.

Canadian parliament just legalized marijuana

C

Cannabis Culture via Flickr

anada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made marijuana legalization a major plank in his successful 2015 campaign, and earlier this week he delivered on his promise with a bang.

On June 18, the Canadian House of Commons voted 205 to 82 to legalize pot in Canada. On Tuesday, the Canadian Senate passed the Commons-approved measure. The Senate, which had earlier proposed 46 amendments to the legislation, could have delayed passage but ultimately couldn’t block it. It chose not to delay and passed the Commons version the following day.

The Commons rejected 13 of the Senate’s amendments. The main one it rejected was one that would have given Canadian provincial governments the option of banning home growing of pot. The government objected to that amendment, and it was dropped in the Commons bill. As a result Canadian home growers will be able to have up to four plants.

“Canadians [are] allowed to make beer at home, or wine,” said Health Minister Ginette Petitpas Taylor. “It is already possible to grow cannabis for medical purposes, and we absolutely believe the legislation should be consistent when it comes to recreational cannabis.”

“We’ve just witnessed a historic vote for Canada, the end of 90 years of prohibition,” said Tony Dean, a senator who sponsored the bill in the upper chamber.

The bill now goes to the governor-general, the representative of Queen Elizabeth, whose signature on the measure is a formality.

Once the bill is signed, Canada will become the world’s second country to legalize marijuana on a national level (the first was Uruguay) and the first G7 country to do so.

Government officials said provincial governments will now need eight to 12 weeks to prepare for retail sales (which is practically light speed compared to the one to two years it has taken the governments of the nine U.S. states that legalized pot to get retail sales going).

The law gives Canadian provinces the authority to determine how marijuana will be sold. Ontario is expected to set up government-operated stores.

Alberta is leaning toward private dispensaries, and British Columbia is considering both.

Provinces will also have the option of setting the minimum age for buying pot at either 18 or 19. All nine of the U.S. states that have legalized marijuana have set the age at 21.

Personal possession will be limited to 30 grams, a bit more than an ounce.

The size of the pot market in Canada is estimated to be 5.7 billion Canadian dollars ($4.5 billion U.S.) based on last year’s consumption data. The tax haul is estimated to come in at $400 million Canadian, with three-quarters of it going to the provinces.

Will Canada’s decision to legalize prod any more

U.S. states to follow suit? Just guessing, but in the case of four states it might. The four are Minnesota, Michigan, New York and New Hampshire.

Michigan is due to vote on a recreational marijuana legalization initiative this November. The fact that marijuana will be legal across the Detroit River in Windsor, Ontario, may cause some voters to view legalization as a way of preventing prohibition-era-style cross-border boot-legging from developing and a way of keeping tax dollars at home.

New York already has two states with legal recreational marijuana on its borders — Massachusetts and Vermont — and a third, New Jersey, is likely to follow suit. Pressure has been mounting on New York pols for months to run a legalization bill in the state legislature. Canadian legalization will increase it.

As for New Hampshire, with the passage of the Canadian legalization bill, the state is now completely surrounded by neighbors where recreational marijuana is legal (Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont and now Canada. Support for legalization in the New Hampshire legislature has been growing, but it wasn’t enough to put a bill over the finish line this year. But New Hampshire residents are now a short drive away in any direction from, uh, living free. That could prompt the legalization views of some knuckle-draggers in the state legislature to evolve.

In Minnesota, there was an attempt in the state legislature this year to put a legalization question on the ballot (Minnesota citizens can’t petition one on themselves) but Mark Dayton, the Democratic governor is a pot prohibitionist who has threatened to veto the legalization question. Fortunately he’s term limited, and most Democrats running to replace him favor the legalization vote. Canadian legalization could give the measure a further boost, eh?
