Highroad The Koch Coup

by Jim Hightower

T

he Koch Brothers believe that their great wealth entitles them to rule over the many — so, for decades, they’ve been running a surreptitious assault on the rules that protect the majority of us from their abuse. From whacking our voting rights to busting unions, their plutocratic intent is nothing less than to pull a coup on democracy, installing a government of, by and for the superrich.

They’ve enlisted a secretive cadre

of other billionaires who share their extreme kleptocratic belief that 1) property rights of the rich are more important than the people’s political rights, 2) that majority rule is not a good form of governing, and 3) that the “Makers” (as the billionaires dub themselves) should be able to overrule collective actions of the lower classes (whom they call “Takers”).

They’ve created a complex, sophisticated web of right-wing front groups that have already corporatized a slew of our most basic laws and institutions, and they’ve gained a chokehold on nearly every level of government (including our courts and whole states like Wisconsin, North Carolina and Texas). To carry out their attacks, they’ve essentially taken over the Republican Party.

For more information on Jim Hightower’s work — and to subscribe to his award-winning monthly newsletter, The Hightower Lowdown — visit www.jimhightower.com.

Even more shocking than the arrogance of this unprecedented power grab by the conspiracy of billionaires is its quiet success. The Koch Coup crept up on us because it abhorred publicity and couched each move as an independent effort by a separate group. Then the conspirators backed the Supreme Court’s outrageous 2010 Citizens United decision, decreeing that unlimited corporate spending is allowed because it’s “free speech.” Only then did Americans begin waking up to the reality that the Kochs were making an assault on democracy itself.

TRUMP MAY BE AN IDIOT

Boulder Weekly

guest column

W

ith his hastily issued executive order on family separation last week, President Trump presented America with a false choice: If you don’t want me to tear infants from their mother’s arms, I’ll just put entire families in jail.

Specifically, Trump directed the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to keep families in custody “during the pendency of any criminal improper entry or immigration proceedings involving their members.” He also directed the Department of Defense and all other federal agencies to let DHS use their facilities so that family jail space can be expanded as quickly as possible.

Trump’s plan is inhumane and wrong. The American Academy of Pediatrics and other child-welfare experts have found that jailing children and parents can severely damage their physical and mental health, even irreversibly. When President Obama expanded family detention in 2014, his actions were met with swift condemnation from immigrants’ rights, civil rights and criminal reform organizations, including the ACLU. A federal court put the brakes on that expansion, applying a long-standing rule that prohibits the detention of children in substandard facilities and favors their release.

Rather than jailing families who are in deportation proceedings, the government should release anyone who is not a flight risk, or whose flight risk can be mitigated by an alternative to detention.

Such alternatives are designed to ensure court appearance and compliance with any final court orders, but they do even more — they allow families to live outside prison walls while their case moves through the system. That allows them to more easily find an attorney and prepare their defense — and non-detained immigrants with legal representation are far more likely to win legal relief. It also means that parents can raise their own children as normally as possible, limiting the long-term trauma to the family.

Despite these obvious advantages, in June 2017, the Trump administration canceled the Family Case Management Program, which was run by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as an alternative to detention for families seeking asylum.

ernmental organizations, in order to make sure that vulnerable families’ most urgent needs were met and they had the information they needed to comply with legal obligations.

The Trump administration would have you believe that releasing immi-

grants while their cases proceed in court encourages them to disappear from the government’s radar. That’s just false. The Family Case Management Program had a 99 percent effectiveness rate — meaning see GUEST COLUMN Page 8

Anderson told Glasser that Trump has a “freakishly stable” approval rating and voter enthusiasm for him among Republican voters remains strong. A veteran Democratic pollster (who preferred to be anonymous) said Trump’s decision to continue talking about illegal immigration is smart. “On most issues, whether health care or taxes or the general mood, the Republicans are in a bad place,” the pollster said. “This is their one wedge issue that actually works for them.”

Many working people — and not just white folks — are worried that immigration reduces the value of their labor power. Economic researchers disagree or say it is a minor temporary factor for certain groups. But fear is a funny thing when people feel their way of life is disappearing. The traditional boundaries of race, gender and sexuality have been seriously challenged.

Then the Great Recession in 2008 made the economic lives of almost everyone more precarious, not just working people.

Trump may be an idiot but he has a special cunning. He can smell fear and he knows how to stir it up with buzzwords repeated over and over.

Trump’s appeal in the 2016 election was not predominately economic.

The most economically vulnerable people voted for Clinton by a wide margin. But an awful lot of them didn’t vote at all. That’s not a new development.

However, Trump won a majority of votes among whites in every income category. The most relevant factor for Trump supporters was not their income or education but their racial resentment — a tendency to see non-whites as the cause of economic problems.

The coming election season will likely be wild and crazy. A Pew Research Center survey released this month shows that enthusiasm about the midterm elections is at its highest point in at least 20 years. Many people in both parties say Trump will be a big factor in their vote. Voters will also be driven by the battle over control of both chambers of Congress.

Right after Trump’s inauguration, a “Resistance” arose in the streets and we saw the largest-ever demonstrations in America’s history. Trump has said he wants every day to be a reality TV show in which he vanquishes a foe.

That has pretty much happened. He dominates every news cycle while chaos and confusion reign. It is exhausting.

It’s tiresome being outraged all the time but we have to pay attention. Our terribly flawed democracy is in danger.

The GOP now represents a far right authoritarian “populism” that needs to be taken as seriously as fascism in the 1930s. They need to be soundly defeated.

guest column GUEST COLUMN from Page 7

almost every single person enrolled in the program showed up for all immigration appointments and court hearings. And it was fiscally responsible — just $36 per day per family, compared to $319 per day per person for family detention.

And not all families need the level of support provided by the Family Case Management Program. The government still has the option of releasing families on recognizance, bond, or parole while their cases proceed, and it should be doing so when more intensive supervision is unnecessary to mitigate flight risk. In March, the ACLU, Human Rights First and the Center for Gender and Refugee Studies sued the administration for jailing asylum seekers indefinitely rather than following their own policy and releasing them on humanitarian parole. That case is pending.

The administration must reinstate the Family Case Management Program or other alternatives that provide families with community-based support services. It must use its authority to release families on recognizance, bond and parole. It must reverse its plan to build new jails for children and their parents. And Congress must refuse to fund family detention beds. Family separation is a crisis of the Trump administration’s own making — a crisis it is trying to replace with a new one.

Jailing thousands of asylum-seeking families is unnecessary and the wrong way forward. If the president thinks his executive order will bring the nationwide outrage over his border to an end, he is badly mistaken.

Our Pediatric Clinic Is Back!

letters Solutions to everything in Boulder I am an eccentric old lady ranting about everything in Boulder and offering wonderful fixes: • Advertise big penalties for people who come to live in Boulder and they won’t come with three cars.

• Put chickens in every back yard that wants them. Roosters for hire at City Hall.

• No cars to CU freshmen. Students must have cars that park themselves anywhere elsewhere. On the moon.

• Eliminate all cigarettes, sales and smoking. Anywhere.

• Abolish climate-destructive cement; greenways for roads.

• Sniffing Police to forbid toxic perfumes, hairsprays, deodorants which create carbon.

• Bicycling encouraged, but only by cyclers who stop at stop signs.

• Bring back necking in public places.

• All groceries sold organic and no GMOs. • Remove trees not native to Colorado because I am allergic to them.

• Three prairie dog burrows, and a great-and-beautiful wonderful, motherin-law cottage for each yard. Do my children read this?

• No helicopters/airplanes polluting our ears, and distracting us from mitzvotim-good deeds.

• All public garage artwork cost-free by high school gifted graffiti artists.

• Discussions of raising building height forbidden forever. Just say no.

Then, Boulder will be healthy, beautiful, clean, uncrowded, and non-polluted, and sweet.

Plus, bring back Food Restaurant for the great gazpacho, and Boulder Café for its wonderful half-price cheese and chocolate fondues; and, reasonable breakfasts (how much do scrambled eggs and toast without avocado slices shaped like green tulips placed on ginger root lily pads cost?); and, put back red checked charming table cloths and multicolored drippy candles in wine bottles in Italian restaurants instead of having to eat my spaghetti with marinara sauce in pretentious non-décor with jazz, instead of sentimental Sorrento ballads!

Now I’ve said it all, or did I leave anything out? (Oh, yeah, please put prices on advertised events, so old-timers like grandma can see if I can afford to go).

10 years or so to be very pleased with and a lot to be disgruntled with; I can’t remember the last time I was properly gruntled. Channel 8 in Comcast cable is devoted entirely to the City of Lafayette, and I sometimes watch City Council meetings to help me get to sleep. So I was both pleased and proud to see (“Protestors shut down Lafayette City Council,” News, June 21, 2018) our humble little village staged a protest at a City Council meeting that included taking over the chamber and singing and dancing, forcing the meeting to adjourn.

I didn’t know Lafayette had it in her.

Reminded me of my wild, radical youth (actually, middle age). The issue (fossil fuel operations in the city) is almost incidental to the fact that Lafayette was able to do something like this. (I don’t mean to trivialize it; fossil fuel operations are a very important issue.) My thanks and congratulations to Willmeng, Mazza and all the others. Hang in there!

Danish’s roving finger I pick up two copies of the BW each week. In addition to Jim Hightower, Dave Anderson, Joel Dyer and Tom Tomorrow’s cartoons, I look for Paul Danish’s guest columns when they appear because I never cease to be amazed at his intelligence. Last week he was even smarter than all of the scientists at NOAA (Re: “The Moving Finger writes,” Danish Plan, June 21, 2018) Golly gee. However, I usually agree with some of what he says. This week, for example, I absolutely agree that population growth is a major part of many of our more serious problems, like our Southern border this week.

Maybe Paul should address the Pope.

My disagreement with Paul is not with what he says but with what he does not say. Paul does not mention that there are many other alternatives offered by environmentalists that reduce the use of carbon fuel. Buying smaller, more fuel efficient vehicles, reducing your speed, turning down your thermostat, driving less, using alternative transportation, buying hybrids or producing only electric autos, as China is attempting to do. Many of these things Carter tried to introduce in the ’70s.

What I find worrisome in the apologists for the oil companies’ diversions is that even if there is only a very small chance that fossil fuels threaten our planet, shouldn’t we err on the side of caution for the sake of our little ones? If we leave oil in the ground rather than sell it to Asia, and if environmentalists are wrong, we can always drill later.

t’s Bingo Night at the American Legion Post 111 in Louisville. It’s held every Monday in their building tucked east of downtown, and barely visible from cars speeding down the highway farther east.

I stop in hoping to talk about, what else, guns and Trump. But all the veterans — and their sons and wives and daughters — want to talk about is fireworks.

“Since 1993 the American Legion has run the fireworks for the City of Louisville,” says Sons Post Commander Jeff Oneal. “One member has their pyro license. Any member that wants to join, they volunteer, and basically we put the show on. We go buy the fireworks. We’re there from 6 a.m. until midnight. We set the fireworks up, we squib them, and then we set the

fireworks off. Then we undo everything. We do this for the people of Louisville, and everybody thinks the City of Louisville puts it on. But it’s members of the American Legion that put in their donation hours. And so the people of Louisville do not know that the person who has the pyro license is an American Legion member and that a lot of the people they see on the course during the day are all American Legion and/or guests that put in their hours.”

“And we are veterans,” the bartender says.

“If we used the Louisville money,” a voice from the other side of the bar calls, “That shit would be 15 minutes. Ours is 30.”

Oneal adds, “I want to make sure the City of Louisville gets their praise, too. But I also want people to know these are veterans and/or sons or auxiliary that have done this. And this is all volunteer hours. When the (City) has people come in, they’re all paid and they put that on the budget. We put a lot of hours into this.”

There’s a lot of pride, obviously, expressed among the Post 111 members about the fireworks show. When it started, Oneal recalls members “running up and down with lit fuses and then the fireworks going off above their

heads.” Now, it’s a much more button-down and standardized approach.

Still I was surprised at the overwhelming sentiment that the service Post 111 was providing to the community was going unheralded. A straw poll in neighboring Gravity Brewing confirmed that most people didn’t know the Legion put on the fireworks display.

On the Legion’s whiteboard calendar, there was a listing written in blue marker for funeral services on July 6 for Bobby Ross, who Oneal calls a “staple” of the Lafayette and Louisville community. It’s Ross’s son, Rick, who helped start the fireworks display in 1993.

Maybe the fireworks display, a gaudy spectacle for the community, means something more intimate to the local veteran community, then. Maybe the loss of Ross, one of the Legion’s oldest members, put the fireworks display into context. Weeks of service, a day of labor, then the fireworks burn bright, and they’re extinguished.

“We’ve lost a couple (Legion members) in the last couple months, and it tears me up because they became my friends,” says Sheila Peck, owner of Gastronauts, a restaurant that uses the Legion kitchen and serves the Legion members their meals.

“You know,” Oneal says. “We have not seen the influx of new members, which we hopefully would have thought, from the Gulf War and Iraq and Afghanistan. I don’t think they even know what American Legions or VFWs are, what they stand for and what they do. We just got a new, young couple, a husband and wife who were in the Marines, they just happened to look us up, and they didn’t know what it stands for. We need younger people to start getting involved with organizations like this.”

According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, suicide risk is 22 percent higher for veterans than nonveterans. About 10-15 percent of Gulf War and Iraq and Afghanistan veterans suffer from PTSD. The rate is higher for Vietnam War vets. Half of all veterans are under the age of 50, and it’s estimated that 1.2 million veterans are at risk of homelessness.

“Whether or not you even know about it before you even go into the military,” Oneal says to veterans, “when you get back to the States, when you get settled, maybe go and talk to your local American Legion.”

The Legion offers support through its network of veterans and family members, but they also provide opportunities for volunteering and engaging in the community. It helps veterans get in contact with doctors and specialists for their physical and mental health needs.

Post 111 is located near a cryotherapy office that veterans from all around the country visit.

“That helps veterans with major wounds,” Oneal says.

“They come in and look for the local American Legion or VFW, and we’ll take them in and welcome them in and buy them drinks or dinner.”

It’s clear all Oneal and the veterans of Post 111 want is a little credit for their fireworks show. It’s easy, however, to leave wondering if they can write their name in vibrant colors in the sky and still not get credit, then what are we celebrating on the Fourth of July?

Immigration lawyers talk Trump policies and migrant families

by Angela K. Evans

A

t 2 a.m. on the morning of his 18th birthday, Carlos was transferred into Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody and brought to the adult contract detention facility in Aurora. The oldest of five siblings from a small, poor indigenous community in Guatemala, Carlos came to

the U.S. at the age of 17, alone.

“He wants to be able to support his family back at home because they can’t make ends meet, don’t have permanent housing, sounds like there may be some food insecurity,” says his lawyer Shalyn Kettering. “His father abandoned him and his mother.”

For both safety and economic reasons, Kettering says, Carlos made the journey 12 June 28, 2018

north. After crossing into the U.S., Carlos was found by federal authorities wandering in the desert after his coyote left him at an abandoned hut without food or water, Kettering says. Two months shy of adulthood, Carlos was first sent to a facility run by the Office of Refugee and Resettlement (ORR), under the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the federal agency charged with caring and housing unaccompanied minors who cross the U.S. southern border and, more recently, thousands of kids separated from their parents as part of the Trump Administration’s zero tolerance border policy.

“It was more comfortable in ORR because everyone was his age,” Kettering says. “The adult detention feels a lot like jail, and it is really intimidating. There are guards, and it feels like a very punitive environment.”

While he’s trying to appear tough, Kettering says Carlos is the youngest and smallest detainee at the Aurora facility.

“Some people are watching out for me and nobody has harassed me,” Kettering says he told her.

“The fact that is something he is aware of I think belies a larger discomfort and vulnerability.”

Boulder Weekly heard about Carlos’s story through lawyers at the Rocky Mountain Immigrant Advocacy Network (RMIAN), a nonprofit organization based in Westminster that provides pro bono services and legal orientation five days a week at the Aurora facility. After meeting Carlos, RMIAN was able to connect him with Kettering, an environmental lawyer in Denver, for pro bono representation, and they are now working to get Carlos released on bond.

In light of his story, and those of thousands of families who have been separated at the U.S. southern border in recent

months, we sat down with RMIAN’s Laura Lunn, managing attorney of the detention program, and Ashley Harrington, managing attorney of the children’s program, to talk about what they’re seeing as federal immigration policies have changed under this administration. We also followed up with both lawyers after President Trump signed an executive order on June 20 to end family separation, while continuing to criminally prosecute people for crossing the border.

The following Q&A is a consolidation of those interviews. It has been edited for length and clarity.

• • • • Boulder Weekly: An ICE spokesperson told me they don’t have a way of tracking detainees who age out of ORR custody and are transferred to adult detention. But you said there are at least a handful of recent 18-year-olds who were recently transferred from ORR custody to the Aurora contract facility. Is this something you’ve seen before?

Laura Lunn: That’s a shift. We have not previously been seeing kids transferred directly from ORR custody and taken to the detention facility. None of the ones that we’ve seen has a criminal history so that’s really atypical for them to put them straight into an adult detention facility.

Ashley Harrington: It goes very much in line with the broader increased enforcement and it also goes very much in line with the way this administration views unaccompanied children. It’s shifted from a sympathetic, humanitarian view that these are children fleeing horrific violence and creating laws and policies to try and give them additional protection. Under this administration they are viewed as gang members, they are viewed as abusing legal loopholes to defraud the system.

BW: What’s the difference between ORR custody, run by the HHS, and ICE custody at the adult detention facility?

AH: It’s a bifurcation of purposes on the highest level. ICE’s job is to enforce and remove and deport. HHS is the agency, whether we’re talking about undocumented kids or U.S. citizen kids, in charge of foster care systems throughout the country, in charge of caring for unaccompanied youth. It’s a completely different mind-set and treatment philosophy.

BW: The thousands of kids (most recent numbers estimate there are more than 2,500) who have been separated from their parents at the border in recent Boulder Weekly

months are being taken care of by ORR. The agency doesn’t operate any facilities in Colorado, but are there kids being released to sponsors here?

AH: Not that we know of.

They’ve made it really difficult to release children. There’s also the Memorandum of Understanding that the New York Times reported on between ORR and ICE that means that anyone who is trying to reunify with a child, their fingerprints will go to ICE and any other adult’s in the household will go to ICE. Even if there are sponsors in Colorado who are trying to step forward for these kids, they’ve made it much more unlikely that will happen.

BW: According to ICE, there are about 800 immigrants currently being held at the Aurora detention facility. How many of them are parents separated from their children in recent months?

LL: Our numbers are close to 50 now. ... We’re having to screen all of the cases coming in the door because you never know who are the parents of a child. It’s also important to recognize that there are other parents there who just weren’t separated at the border.

Everyone in there is being separated from their family.

BW: Of the people separated from their children at the border in recent months, you’re representing three women. Are they all from Central America?

LL: They are all from Guatemala.

They all have delightful children that they told me about. All three of my clients have been here for two months, and their kids were taken within days of entering the country.

BW: Where are their kids? Can they talk to them? Do they know when they will be reunited?

LL: Most of the kids are either in New York or in Arizona. No one I have spoken to has received any type of information about being reunited with their children. There’s an ORR hotline that DHS is handing out to people saying, “you can find your kid if you call this number.” Everybody is telling me the hotline number doesn’t work.

One of my clients still does not know where her child is, her 6-yearold. The last time she saw him, the social worker was taking him to go give him a bath. He was just never brought back.

Boulder Weekly

One client, her little boy is six and they were separated for his birthday, which really upsets her. She told me, “He’s so chatty and he’s vivacious, and when I talk to him on the phone now he just responds in one-word answers, and it’s nothing like my son. I’m having to ask so many questions because he’s not himself.”

BW: What’s the status of your clients’ legal cases?

LL: I have two clients who sound like they were federally prosecuted but no one has a piece of paper that says anything about it. We’re trying to look up their cases online. They don’t have any information from Immigration, they don’t have any information from their federal criminal offense. All of them should have been charged as misdemeanors. I’m not sure if that was the case. I think they were prosecuted at the time of the crossing, two of my clients. The third woman was not prosecuted, she did not see a judge, that’s what she says, but yet her son was taken away from her.

BW: And all three of your clients

are seeking asylum?

LL: Yes, but all three of my clients were never asked if they had a fear of return, they were placed in expedited removal proceedings. If you have a fear of return, that puts the brakes on this process because you have a right to try for fear-based relief. One of my clients told me, “I was being held in a detention facility, I told the guard I have a fear of going back home. The guard looked at me and said, ‘Your fear doesn’t matter here,’ closed the door in my face and then never told anybody that I had a fear.” But, she has one of the strongest [asylum] cases I think I’ve run across. (Lunn declined to provide more details in order to protect her clients.)

BW: Does it seem like the process of seeking asylum is different in light of changing policies?

LL: One thing that I would say I’m surprised by, and again it’s a policy shift, is they are doing credible fear and reasonable fear interviews at asylum offices at the border. It would usually happen at our detention facility, and

then the asylum seekers have the opportunity to talk to us, (and) we give them information: this is what asylum is, this is what’s important to share about your case. And they don’t have that opportunity if they’re getting the interview at the border.

BW: I also heard, according to the Sunlight Foundation, that in the first few months of 2017 asylum officer training manuals were taken off of the Department of Homeland Security website.

Government transparency is obviously an issue here, but how has it affected your work?

LL: People would know what the officers are looking for. It’s not supposed to be an adversarial setting when they are being interviewed. It is up to the asylum officer to see whether or not the facts that they have is enough for them to move on in the process.

How do you know [asylum officers] make an error from what they have been trained on unless you are privy to what the training says? It was such a great tool to be able to go to the asylum training manual and then quote to them this is the standard, this is why it wasn’t met in this case, this is why this person needs another opportunity for [their case] to be heard.

AH: You’re left to only cite published case law as opposed to be able to cite back, “Your own guidance says you are to adjudicate this in this way, or you are supposed to consider these factors.”

LL: The Attorney General has also certified a number of cases to himself and really doing everything in his power to unravel asylum law in particular, especially any case law that has traditionally afforded protections to the exact populations we’re talking about.

BW: Like his recent decision to reverse an immigration appeals court ruling that granted asylum to a Salvadoran who experienced domestic violence. And you’ve said he’s reviewing a few other cases himself as well.

What does this do to the immigration system?

LL: My best analogy for all of this is that it’s like a game of Jenga. They are taking out the blocks that are strategically keeping it in place, and they are just trying to topple the system that we have constructed to provide any See IMMIGRATION Page 14

type of protection for asylum seekers, specifically. ... They see that the asylum law is what it is and that’s what they are trying to deconstruct. But in deconstructing it, they are recognizing that this is the law. And so it’s almost providing additional validity to the fact that these are asylum seekers, and they do have protections under the law.

While they are trying to change that, that still is the law today.

AH: This administration is actually brilliant in terms of instituting comprehensive immigration reform without instituting comprehensive immigration reform. These changes are so comprehensive and huge and impacting so many people without any act of congress or rulemaking.

LL: But there are various ways for people to qualify for asylum and what the attorney general did does not preclude people from being eligible for that relief. It just means it’s going to prolong these cases because people are going to have to appeal and fight to get actual justice because they are trying to coopt the judicial system.

BW: The Trump administration has said it wants to cut the backlog in immigration courts in half by 2020, and has increased the number of both immigration judges and asylum officers at the border. (Currently there are about 700,000 pending immigration cases around the country.) How do these new policies affect that?

AH: Well, for every family of three, you just created three separate cases that are now going to go through the system separately and clog it up that much more as opposed to keeping [each family] together as one consolidated case.

LL: When families are together, their cases are joined. It’s a complete waste of judicial time to separate the cases out especially when you have kids who are not able to articulate clearly

why they are afraid. They Asley Harrington don’t have a (left) and Laura right to free Lunn of the Rocky Mountain Immigrant counsel so Advocacy Network what 2-yearold is going to be able to hire him or herself an attorney?

BW: Does the executive order signed by President Trump last week change any of this?

AH: This is not a solution for the parents and children who have already been separated. There’s nothing in the order about how, or when or if those parents and children are going to be reunified. It doesn’t help the parents in Aurora right now with their children spread out all over the country. It trades one evil: putting asylum-seeking families in separate jails to a different evil of putting asylum-seeking families in jail together. Yes it’s better that babies are with their parents. But we’re still imprisoning them when they’re coming to ask for our protection.

BW: What about consolidating the cases so parents and children can pursue asylum together?

AH: You don’t necessarily need a lawyer to do it, but you need to understand the law at least in order to get the cases transferred to the same city and consolidated to one proceeding. ...

It’s not automatic. It will take work to not only reunify [the thousands of families separated since May] physically but also unify their cases.

BW: There’s been outcry over family detention in the past, mostly from immigration and civil rights advocates.

Do you think that will continue in light of the executive order?

AH: Don’t be fooled, this is not over, this is not good. He (President Trump) did not solve any problems. I hope people are still outraged and peoBoulder Weekly

ple will fight family detention. In some ways I think people are going to think that the problem is solved because the problem was framed around them being separated instead of around the issue of putting them in prison-like facilities when they come here.

BW: It sounds like there are a lot of unanswered questions and unknowns.

How are the parents you’ve spoken with coping?

LL: They came here to fight for their kids and they’re still doing that, in the most adversarial context I could ever imagine. And the fact that they are still here and still fighting really shows that they are afraid to go home.

Why would you subject yourself to this unless you thought that being separated from your kid and in prison was better than the other option?

That is what’s so profoundly upsetting about this policy. The very people they were trying to protect (their kids) are the ones who have been torn away from them. They are being dehumanized in such a horrific way and they are just caught in this web of politics.

They’re turned into a symbol of how powerful the government can be. They have the authority to take people’s babies from them.

• • • • Pediatricians across the country have spoken out against both the family separation policy, and holding children in immigrant shelters, expressing concern about the short and long-term health affects these policies will have on the kids.

In 2016, RMIAN came across a rare — at the time — case of a mother separated from her daughter after crossing the U.S. southern border.

“That was horrifying to us at the time, and definitely seemed to be just an error or one particularly egregious case,” says Harrington, who is representing the mother/daughter, and the two are currently pursuing asylum together. They now live on the Western Slope, reunited after Luciana, the mother, was released from immigration detention. Her story is emblematic of what thousands of families have experienced in recent months.

Fleeing threats from MS-13 gang members, Luciana came to the U.S. to protect her daughter, she says.

They were demanding money, “a fee,” otherwise they would kill both her and her daughter. “At the time I had no other choice, they really came after me, they came to my house, they were moving fast, and I had no choice but to come to the U.S.,” Luciana says. “It was the only way to keep my daughter safe.”

After the pair crossed into the U.S., they were met by border patrol and taken to a small room, where Luciana Boulder Weekly

was separated from her daughter, given that it was her second time crossing the border, and she would be detained for unlawful reentry.

“We were both crying,” Luciana says. “I was showing them the messages that the gang members had sent me and tried to explain why we were here, why we were crossing the border.

When they took my daughter away, they didn’t tell me anything. They didn’t tell me where they were going, they didn’t tell me how long it would be until I could see her.”

Her daughter was 5 years old at the time, and she was in ORR custody for a month before being released to relatives on the Western Slope.

“I had one five-minute phone conversation with her in that time,” Luciana says. “In truth it was really hard especially because they eventually told me that we would either be separated or we would both be deported and (coming here) was the only thing I could do to keep my daughter safe.”

While in ORR custody, Luciana says her daughter was taken outside to play, was being taught English and how to read. But at night, the little girl “was always found underneath her bed and that’s where she would curl up and cry, and the workers would find her there a lot.”

“It’s something she will never forget, especially because what they would say to her over and over again is, ‘Don’t cry, don’t cry, your mom will be here soon,’ and I never arrived,” Luciana says.

Her daughter lived with relatives for another month before Luciana was released from detention and the two could be reunited. But she says, the trauma of their separation is something both of them are still affected by.

“Especially between night and morning, there are just things that you never forget,” Luciana says. “Anytime she remembers or is triggered to think about the experience, her little eyes well up like she wants to cry.”

Luciana just tries to take things day by day, but the uncertainty of how shifting immigration policies could affect both her and her daughter gives her a near-constant anxiety, she says.

Plus, the daily news about the border crisis is a near-constant reminder of her own experience.

“When I see the news, when I see the parents crying, and I see the kids crying, it makes me really sad because I’ve lived through the pain and I know what it feels like,” Luciana says. “It is a trauma and it is something they will never forget. I’m living proof of that, and my daughter is living proof of that.”

Carlos and Luciana are pseudonyms.

heoretically, when you drop a stone into water, the ripples continue on forever, ad infinitum.

So while Jeremy Enigk doesn’t regret coming out as a born-again Christian back in 1994, right as his band Sunny Day Real Estate was breaking big, he can still see the ripples expanding out from the point of impact.

“Certainly back then that was an incredible leap of faith,” Enigk says over the phone after sound check for a show in Austin, where the emopunk pioneer is on tour in support of the rerelease of his 1996 debut solo album, the decidedly un-punk Return of the Frog Queen.

“The thing with faith-jumping is that when you are true to yourself and you do jump, I’m pretty sure you’re gonna be caught every single time.

And that was what I was doing [by coming out as a Christian]. But I’m still dealing with the repercussions of that decision even now.”

Enigk was 20 years old when he penned an open letter to a fan who’d taken to an internet forum to express concern about rumors that Enigk’s faith was creating an irrevocable rift in Sunny Day Real Estate.

Truth is, it was.

“I have different intentions now,” Enigk wrote in response. “I want to take the band on a different path then (sic) they. It is no longer the financial freedom that once controlled me, but it is to expose people to truth for their sake and especially Jesus’ sake. ...

“Call me crazy, for I’d rather be crazy and see what I’ve seen, then (sic) to ever go back to where

I was.”

It was dramatic — Enigk is the first to admit it — but, Enigk says, “it was a decision at the time that was completely supported by the universe.”

“I’m not the same person I was back then,” he tells me. “At that time I was going through some heavy, heavy stuff and I turned to a very specific book for inspiration and I found it. And now I still believe in similar things but it’s much more open and not so rigid. But yes, my belief in God and the universe is a huge part of my daily life but I don’t try to be so specific the way I was in my crazy letter.”

Sure, the letter was crazy, but without it we wouldn’t have Return of the Frog Queen, a collection of beautifully peculiar songs that inarguably, if unconsciously, influenced a generation of musicians that came after Enigk, from Elliott Smith to Joanna Newsom to Bon Iver. Frog Queen, with its 21-piece backing orchestra, was just another leap of faith for Enigk.

Sunny Day Real Estate emerged at a time when, as author Andy Greenwald put it in his emo-punk primer Nothing Feels Good, “sincerity became currency” in the music industry. On May 10, 1994, just one month after Kurt Cobain’s death, Nirvana’s record label, Sub Pop, released Sunny Day’s first album, Diary. It became the label’s biggest selling album since Nirvana’s Bleach in ’89. (As of 2008, it was still the label’s seventh best-selling record.)

Sunny Day had, perhaps by sheer virtue of being young, tapped into an unmet need in punk music: unrepentant emotional indulgence.

Where Nirvana was apathetic, Sunny Day was earnest. They developed a progressive form of punk that wore its emotions proudly on its sleeve without ever tipping over into syrupy insipidities.

At 19 years old, Enigk became the godfather of emo, and Diary became what many consider the greatest emo album ever made — no eyeliner necessary.

So when the band broke up in 1995, Enigk could have cashed in on the sound he helped create. But he was shattered about the dissolution of his band and wondering if he even wanted to keep making music professionally.

Creatively, he knew he had to make a sharp departure from Sunny Day’s sound if he were to go it alone.

With Sub Pop in full support mode, Enigk bent toward the whimsical, looking to The Beatles’ Magical Mystery Tour, Tom Waits, and Harry Neilson’s work on the Popeye soundtrack for inspiration for 1996’s Return of the Frog Queen.

From the first wistful chords of album-opener “Abegail Anne,” it’s clear Enigk was on a journey of exploration, both musically and personally. It’s full of charming contemplation, shrouded spirituality and candid ambition. Even its worst moments — the middle tracks, “Lizard” and “Carnival,” are a little silly when compared to their peers — are easily forgiven because the whole thing is just so damn sincere.

With a symphony to back up Enigk’s emotionally charged wails, Frog Queen forged a path that indie rock stars follow to this day.

Though it never garnered the same attention as Sunny Day’s work (their re-unification and collective masterpiece, How it Feels to be Something On, was still, unbeknownst to all involved, on the horizon), Frog Queen was much beloved in its own quiet way. Last year, for the first Upstream Music Fest in Seattle, radio DJ Marco Collins asked Enigk if he’d play Frog Queen in full, Boulder Weekly

with enough financial support to bring in a full band and a string quartet. And Tony Kiewel, president of Sub Pop, has told Enigk the album is one of his favorites. But the album has been out of print since its original pressing in 1996, which is all to say that this year, 22 years after its initial release, seemed as good as any to polish it up and reissue it.

While Sub Pop re-issued the album, Enigk isn’t under contract with the label... or any label for that matter.

He’s a one-man operation, with no manager or publicist. He responded directly to me via email about setting up an interview, and then called from his cell phone later that evening, at 6:30 on the dot.

Funded by PledgeMusic and supported by a living room tour, Enigk’s most recent album, Ghosts, was a labor of intensive love that took two years to complete.

“I knew it was going to be more than I’m used to and I knew it was going to challenge me in a major way and motivate me to get off my ass and be the musician that I’m supposed to be,” Enigk says of producing Ghosts.

“Because as soon as I press start on [PledgeMusic] and send out that video and people start supporting the project, I have to do it. So I did it and it ended up being a lot more difficult than I could possible imagine because I did do a lot of it alone.”

No hyperbole there; Enigk himself boxed up vinyl records and sent them to fans who had pre-ordered Ghosts.

Enigk seems happy now, “drinking beers and eating bad food... trying to eat good food,” out on the road with his band of eight, including a couple of strings and an extra keyboardist — even if he can still see the ripples of his youthful choice still washing over him 24 years later. And really, those waves only carry on theoretically. In practice, the energy expands over an ever-wider area until it becomes so weak it’s undetectable.

Guest conductors launch 2018 Colorado Music Festival

Violinists Gluzman and Quint, pianists Weiss and Martinez will be early soloists at CMF by Peter Alexander

he Colorado Music Festival, facing another year without a permanent music director, opens with two weeks of concerts led by guest conductors Marcelo Lehninger and David Danzmayr.

Current artistic advisor Peter Oundjian will lead several concerts mid-summer, and former music director Jean-Marie Zeitouni will return for one week.

The opening weeks set the festival pattern of full orchestra concerts on Thursdays and chamber orchestra on Sundays. Later, the season will also see the return of Fresh Friday miniconcerts and Saturday chamber music (full schedule at coloradomusicfestival. org).

The season opens June 28 with a concert featuring violinist Vadim Gluzman with Lehninger conducting.

A rising young conductor, Lehninger currently leads the Grand Rapids Symphony. Gluzman, the celebrated Ukrainian-born Israeli violinist, will play Bernstein’s Serenade after Plato’s Symposium, a lovely, lyrical work that has become popular during the 2018 Bernstein centennial.

The concert will open with John Corigliano’s Promenade Overture, a sort of Haydn “Farewell Symphony” in reverse in which the orchestra members start backstage and gradually enter playing. The program will conclude with

Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony.

“The Overture is a wonderful effect, with the idea of the orchestra getting back together again for the summer,” Lehninger says. “The Bernstein Serenade is a great piece, hard to conduct to make things work between the soloist and the orchestra, but really wonderful. And we finish with the Tchaikovsky Fourth Symphony, a phenomenal piece and so exciting.”

Although this is Lehninger’s first performance at the CMF, he has spent a lot of time in Colorado. “My wife is from Denver, so I’m looking forward to participating in this wonderful festival.”

Weiss, a local favorite who has been coming to CMF since 2001, will play Beethoven’s “Emperor” Concerto on Lehninger’s Sunday concert. Also on the program are Stravinsky’s Suite No. 2 and

Mozart’s “Haffner” Symphony.

“I’m so happy to have the connection [with CMF],” Weiss says. “A musical career is like a quilt. Certain parts are just patches, but Colorado Music Festival has been a long thread going through my whole life.

“I’ve been playing [the “Emperor” Concerto] for a long time. Every time I come back to it, its beauty and excitement are so fresh. That’s why people love it — it never can be worn out.”

Currently conducting in Zagreb, Danzmayr first appeared at CMF two years ago and returns for the second full week of the festival. He grew up in Salzburg, Austria, and music of his native country forms a central part of his programming: Mahler’s First Symphony on Thursday ( July 5) and Schubert’s Third Symphony on Saturday ( July 8).

“As a conductor, it’s lucky if you’re from Austria,” he says. “You have [music

by Austrian composers] in your bones. I grew up playing Austrian folk music with my grandfather, [which] gives a background to this music that makes it very natural.”

The programming of symphonies by Mahler and Schubert is deliberate. “It’s very important to play Schubert and Mahler together, because Schubert leads directly to Mahler,” Danzmayr maintains.

“Without Schubert there would not have been Mahler.”

Mahler’s First is well known in the U.S., but Schubert’s Third Symphony is not. “The Third is where he became completely Schubert,” Danzmayr says.

Both of Danzmayr’s concerts feature soloists: pianist Gabriela Martinez on Thursday, playing Mozart’s dramatic D-minor Piano Concerto on the program with Mahler; and violinist Philippe Quint, playing Astor Piazzolla’s Four Seasons of Buenos Aires with Schubert on Sunday.

Martinez appeared in Boulder in 2014, playing Saint-Saëns with the Boulder Philharmonic. A Juilliardtrained pianist from Venezuela, she rose to fame when she won the revived Anton Rubinstein Piano Competition in 2003.

In a recent performance with the Rogue Valley Symphony in Oregon, she was praised for her “dazzling performance of de Falla’s Nights in the Gardens of Spain.”

Quint appeared with the Boulder Phil in 2015, but this will be his first appearance at CMF. “I think this is probably the last major place in Colorado that I have not performed,” he says. “I always look forward to being in Colorado.”

Molly Tanzer writes of sensualist demons in reframed Victorian London by Anna Mary Scott

T

arts & culture

hrough works of fantasy and what she calls “alt-history,” Longmontbased author Molly Tanzer pushes forgotten narratives to the forefront. With her novels Vermilion, The Pleasure Merchant, and the newest Creatures of Will and Temper, Tanzer attempts to redesign history with just a taste of the fantastical.

Originally from Marietta, Georgia, Tanzer says she has considered herself a feminist from a young age. When she was pursuing her master’s degree in humanities at the University of Florida, she focused on 18th- and 19thcentury novels written by women about the transatlantic slave trade.

“The product of slavery tended to be luxury items that women would engage with,” such as fine cottons, sugar and tea, Tanzer says.

Because of this, she says female authors were guiding the conversation around abolitionism in many ways.

While learning about these authors fascinated her, ultimately she preferred writing stories to writing papers. She started writing novels, and after around “two-and-a-half ” attempts, she got one published.

Historical fantasy itself appeals to her because it gives her “the opportunity to explore what’s real from a different angle,” she says. “Fantasy is often a reflection of our fears and anxieties about the real, so using it can cast whatever issue or idea I’m writing about into sharper relief.”

Her first novel, Vermilion, was an “inclusive Western” centered on a genderfluid, half-Chinese protagonist named Lou. Although Tanzer herself is not half-Chinese, she says she understands feeling “torn between two worlds at a time when one is viewed with suspicion,” as her mother is Christian and her father is Jewish.

Tanzer says she feels self-conscious about veering into cultural appropriaBoulder Weekly

tion with her work.

Still, she says, stories of marginalized people are important to tell.

While some authors refuse to write about people of color, LGBT people or strong-willed women in their historical fantasy for fear of historical inaccuracy, she doesn’t see it as an issue.

“I figured if I was going to put demons in the book anyway, I could give myself a little leeway with other ‘historical facts,’” Tanzer says.

The author says she ultimately aims for inclusivity in all of her novels.

“The books I grew up reading were very white and very straight. I would like future generations to have more options,” Tanzer says. She says she is interested in “the queering of history,” and queer fiction in general. “The way that desire drives us,” she says, is “endlessly fascinating.”

Her latest novel, Creatures of Will and Temper, is the first in a trilogy about diabolists — demon worshippers — across human history. Set in Victorian London, the novel uses The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde as a foundation to tell a story of fencer Evadne Gray and her 17-year-old aspiring art critic sister, Dorina Gray, who descends into amoral behavior by way of demon-summoning. While reading Wilde’s original version, Tanzer says she imagined the “book bound in yellow” that Henry gives Dorian could be a book of diabolism, which inspired her to write Creatures of Will and Temper.

Tanzer’s novel features several prominent LGBT characters: Lady Henrietta “Henry” Wotton dresses as a man and does not consider herself bound to femininity; Dorina becomes enamored with Henry and the two develop a happy, fulfilling relationship.

“I wanted Dorina to be explicitly

queer and for Henry to be openly living her best life,” Tanzer says. “I didn’t want to write a book in which the gay characters were oppressed and constantly sad and constantly put upon. I wanted to write a book in which they find one another and find happiness. It’s important to acknowledge how oppressive societies have been and still are towards queer members of society, but that doesn’t have to be every single story.”

Tanzer says she has received an overall warm response to her novels in the past, especially from people in marginalized communities who yearn to see themselves represented in fantasy.

Over social media, she says the reception of Creatures of Will and Temper has been positive from members of the LGBT community.

Most of Tanzer’s works carry some form of a political message, she says.

Creatures of Will and Temper, for example, is “definitely political in that it is about freedom and living the life that you want to live, even if it’s on the margins.”

Although the novel is a tale of amorality, Tanzer says there are still lessons to be learned. There are clear moral rights and wrongs. She says the message of this particular novel is simple: “Mind your own business. Fight for what you have to fight for. Happiness is a noble pursuit.”

The sequel forthcoming to Creatures of Will and Temper, titled Creatures of Want and Ruin, is set on Long Island in 1927, where the thread of underground diabolist society continues.

Tanzer says this installment promises to be even more overtly political, as it deals directly with “anti-immigrant sentiment overtaking a community.”

“Everything I write is extremely left,” Tanzer says. She started writing Creatures of Want and Ruin in November 2016 during the presidential campaign. “I wrote the novel, in part, for all of my friends who have been wrestling — ever since Trump got the nomination — with their Trumpsupporting families.”

Creatures of Want and Ruin is set to be published in November 2018.

We protect and care for the health of our local trees.

To help combat Boulder County’s Emerald Ash Borer (Beetle) epidemic, we’ve recently purchased a custom-made crane specially designed for the removal of dead trees on smaller urban lots where big cranes can not reach.

While Your Parents Danced

in the next room, their heels skimming over dark oak to Sinatra and Como and Bennett crooning from the dusty stereo, we lay in your small bed, sheets thrown back, down to our underwear after unbuttoning the blouse, unzipping the jeans, unsnapping the bra, and when it was time, yes, strangers in the night, yes, You stopped me, saying, that’s enoughthey might hear us, then whispered we can wait - be sweet - listen and I did, the sound of my heart keeping time with the old songs and the slow glide of their feet, toe to toe, outside the bedroom door.

HeadacHes?

If you are experiencing new or chronic headaches, you should have a comprehensive eye examination. Eyestrain from an outdated prescription or old glasses often contribute to headaches. Other eye conditions may cause headache symptoms, like dry eyes or early cataracts.

Sometimes a dilated eye exam finds a more serious problem, such as a tumor or high pressure around the brain.

t’s been 200 years since the publication of Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, the famous story of a mad scientist and his reanimated creation. When the first printings ran, the sensational novel was attributed to “Anonymous,” though famed English poet Percy Shelley penned the introduction. Many took this to mean Mr. Shelley was responsible for Dr. Victor Frankenstein and his creature, but they were led astray by a publisher who feared the book would garner little acclaim and fewer sales were it published under the true author’s name, Percy Shelley’s 20-year-old wife: Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin.

It’s a familiar story and Mary Shelley, the new bio-pic from director Haifaa Al-Mansour, is a familiar sort of film.

Elle Fanning plays the young author. Her father, William Godwin (Stephen Dillane), a philosopher and bookseller, raises her but doesn’t know what to do with her; though he looks on fondly as Mary peruses his vast collection.

“To love reading is to have everything within your reach,” he tells her.

Godwin vacillates between scorn and understanding when Mary runs off with Percy Shelley (Douglas Booth), a trust-fund baby with a wife and kid already in tow.

Mary’s love for Percy is liberating. After they make love for the first time, Mary scribbles “I am free to write what I please” in her diary. Soon her life is filled with daytime drinking, poetry recitations and the occasional escape in the middle of the night from Percy’s debt collectors.

Joy quickly turns into misery. Mary gives birth, but loses the child at a young age; Percy wanders from Mary’s bed to her friend’s, and a fortnight getaway to Lord Byron’s castle — with Tom Sturridge playing the bloodsucking poet — only reinforces Mary’s realization: being an artist is a heck of a lot of fun if you’re a man.

Watching Mary move through this world — the star of her story, but forever a background player — it’s no wonder her novel of a lost soul desperately craving compassion ends with: “He was soon borne away by the waves, and lost in darkness and distance.”

Mary Shelley is the second feature from Al-Mansour. Her previous film, Wadjda, is one of the best in recent memory. Set and shot in Al-Mansour’s native Saudi Arabia, Wadjda beautifully and effortless captures the plight of women in a strict and imposing society.

And while Mary Shelley occupies similar territory, there is little that connects the two. Only Al-Mansour could have made Wadjda while Mary Shelley smacks of anonymity. Only one scene, where Mary finally sets pencil to paper and feverishly writes Frankenstein, does Mary’s passion and Al-Mansour’s creativity burst forth.

It’s probably the scene that attracted Al-Mansour to the project. What a wonder it would have been if the rest of the movie sustained the same energy level.

HappyHour

Summertime drink recs? Listen to the pros

These bartenders know what they’re talking about.

W

elcome, summer! Now that patio season is officially upon us, it’s time to kick back and sip refreshing drinks under the sun. What better time to explore a drink menu than during happy hour? The only issue: choosing what to order.

Relax. We did the investigative work for you. We asked a few of the most experienced bartenders, managers and restaurateurs in Boulder County for their top cocktail recommendation off their happy hour menu. And what a list it is.

AMANTE

Susan France

CAFÉ TIRAMISU: WHITE GODIVA LIQUEUR, DARK CHOCOLATE LIQUEUR, WHALER’S RUM, ABSOLUT VODKA, TIA MARIA, ESPRESSO, CREAM, TOPPED WITH COCOA POWDER.

Served in a martini glass, barista Denver Hall says this drink is a crowd favorite. Considering the mix of chocolates, coffee and liqueur, it’s not hard to imagine why — order it chilled for a refreshing pick-me-up.

2850 Baseline Road, Boulder, 720-612-7980 Susan France

WILD STANDARD

THIS IS THE END: ALTOS TEQUILA, FIDENCIO MEZCAL, LIME JUICE, HONEY SIMPLE, COCCHI ROSA. Tired of the same-old, same-old?

Bartender Adam Helfrich says this drink (“One of my favorites”) can solve that problem. “The mezcal adds a bit of smokiness for a play on the traditional margarita.”

1043 Pearl St., Boulder, 720-638-4800

HAPA SUSHI

Susan France

G-SPOT: RASPBERRYINFUSED SAKE, RASPBERRY, VODKA, GINGER ALE.

Bartender Darin Weltsch says, “It’s our best seller,” and for a good reason.

“Not a lot of places infuse sake in their cocktails — it’s unique and different from what you’ll find elsewhere.”

Nothing beats a summer afternoon happy hour in the great outdoors

Rio Grande

W

hether you’re hitting happy hour after a stroll down Pearl Street, on your way home from the office or as the last stop on your trail, kicking back on an outdoor patio or deck is the perfect way to top off a summer day in Boulder County. Here are a few of the great outdoor spaces that offer happy hour specials alongside their fresh air.

Casa Alegre

CASA ALEGRE

1006 PINE ST., LOUISVILLE, 303-665-2833

Happy Hour: 2-6 p.m. Monday- Friday, 9 p.m.close on Fridays; 2-5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

50 percent off domestic beers, house margaritas and mojitos.

L

et’s say it’s a Friday evening, you just finished work and you want to relax. What should you do? We suggest heading over to Casa Alegre to listen to a bit of live Latin music while chowing down on a fajita quesadilla or maybe some nachos. This place offers a colorful, spacious patio and makes a mean traditional margarita.

Don’t depair when the Latin music ends at 8 p.m., because, just a half hour later, the live American music begins. And the best part is you can enjoy half-off drinks during the second round of happy hour as well.

SHERPA’S ADVENTURERS RESTAURANT & BAR 825 WALNUT ST., BOULDER, 303-440-7151

Happy Hour: 5-7 p.m. Monday-Sunday. $2 draft beers.

S

herpa’s humble abode is a Victorian-style house with an intimate and cozy charm. The patio is welcoming and surrounded by a creatively landscaped garden. Get your own taste of the Himalayas during their happy hour with authentic Nepalese food and draft beer, all the while soaking in the flowers and a summer breeze.

RIO GRANDE

1101 WALNUT ST., BOULDER, 303-444-3690

Happy Hour: 3-6 p.m. Monday-Friday; 9 p.m.12 a.m. $1-off Classic Rio margaritas and Big Tex margaritas; $3 draft beers, Tecate cans and shots of cinge.

I

t’s no secret that the Rio Grande is known for its delicious and, shall we say, potent margaritas. Turns out, the three margs you are allowed to drink taste even better when you’re enjoying them in the sunshine on the rooftop patio. Our research says there are few things better than sitting under an umbrella savoring a happy-hour-priced Hibiscus Skinny Marg while nibbling on happy-hour tacos. Not to worry if margaritas aren’t your thing — replace them with a happy-hour draft beer or glass of wine and join your pals up on the roof.

About the only thing that can make this pizza better is enjoying it on the rooftop deck during happy hour at this Colorado company’s new Longmont location. We suggest an order of cheesy bread or a soft pretzel with queso to go along with your cold glass of handcrafted draft beer from Beau Jo’s brewer of the month.

Four courses to try in and around Boulder County this week

menu THE TASTING

Beef Brisket Platter Moe’s Original Bar B Que, 675 30th St., Boulder, www.moesoriginalbbq.com

Photos by staff

T

here’s nothing like finishing a summer adventure in Colorado with a hearty plate of barbecue; at Moe’s, you won’t be disappointed.

The platter offers ample meat, along with cornbread and two sides, leaving you satisfied no matter how many calories you burned playing outside. The sign of good barbecue is the flavor of the meat pre-sauce, and Moe’s does it just right. The beef brisket was perfectly tender, needing only a plastic fork to cut through the meat. The sweet and tangy sauce is a bonus, especially when the meat is mixed with cornbread and vinegar slaw, to create the perfect bite. $15.

Triple Chocolate Espresso Torte Blackbelly 1606 Conestoga St., Boulder, blackbelly.com

Egg Salad Sandwich The Dish Gourmet, 1918 Pearl St., Boulder, dishgourmet.com

W

ith plenty of gluten-free and vegetarian options, the egg salad sandwich at The Dish Gourmet drew us in with its promise of not only farm fresh eggs, but also avocado, muenster cheese, tomato and lettuce, all on pumpernickel bread. First, the bread. Pumpernickel is often under-utilized in most delis, but the sweetness of the coarsely ground rye, along with sprinkled golden raisins baked in, was the perfect complement to the savory, richness of the rest of the ingredients in this take on a classic sandwich. Ample avocado and muenster accompanied the egg salad, made of nicely chopped (not smashed) eggs mixed with herbs. Plus, the house-made pickle was the perfect accompaniment. $8.95.

W

hen three separate people recommend a dessert in a restaurant as well-reputed as Blackbelly, you get that dessert. The triple chocolate espresso torte is that dessert, and it lives up to the hype. The dense, rich torte is topped with peanut butter miso, bruléed marshmallow and smoked salt. It’s a massive upgrade over the regular old chocolate torte with some kind of berry sauce. The peanut butter miso — salty, sweet and umami — should be bottled and placed in a time capsule so future people can see how good we did food in 2018. The bruléed marshmallow ends up being the thing our fork gravitated to, though. It’s a thick, gooey marshmallow, and the toast on top is irresistible. $8.

Heirloom Blue Corndog

River and Woods 2328 Pearl St., Boulder, riverandwoodsboulder.com

W

ho says corndogs are just for kids? At River and Woods, this childhood classic gets an upgrade fit for an adult palette. A continental pheasant spinach bratwurst, packed with salty, savory flavors, is wrapped in a coat of Bow & Arrow heirloom blue cornmeal and fried to crispy perfection. The accompanying condiments — wildflower honey mustard, a stone-ground mustard and an organic ketchup — round out the experience with subtly sweet and sharp highlights. We subbed a salad for the herb sea salt fries, but only because we ordered a larger portion of fries to share with the table. Let’s just say we wish everything came with unlimited refills. $13.

Tzatziki (pronounced: tsat-seekee) is a yogurt sauce made with cucumber, garlic, lemon juice and herbs, including mint or dill, and used on gyros and falafel. Tzatziki is ostensibly Greek but variations of it are dished around the Mediterranean and in the Middle East, as in Iran’s mast-o-khiar.

Labneh (pronounced: leb-nay) is a versatile, savory Middle Eastern yogurt spread/dip made by straining already thick Greekstyle yogurt until it becomes a soft cheese spread. Labneh can substitute for cream cheese in any dish.

L

ooking at the vast wall of dairy treats at most supermarkets, you would never know that yogurt wasn’t supposed to be a dessert. As served in Mediterranean, Slavic and South Asian cuisines, yogurt is tart, salty and only occasionally sweetened

with fruit.

Back in the 1960s, cultured milk was on nobody’s lips in the U.S. except ethnic immigrants. Hippies adopted yogurt and made it into a health food staple, but there was one thing standing between yogurt and acceptance by mainstream consumers: Americans like it sweet. That’s how you end up with plastic containers of sugary goop with flipover compartments full of chocolate chips, nuts, cereal and sauces.

Some yogurt companies have attempted savory flavors. One success story is Noosa’s marionberry blackberry and serrano chile, an

All three are easy to find on menus at many small, family-run eateries in Boulder County. For instance, raita is served at Tiffins Indian Cafe and, only 20 yards away near the corner of Folsom and Arapahoe, tzatziki comes with sandwiches at Kalita Grill Greek Cafe. On the Hill, Alforat — a Middle Eastern eatery — dishes affordable rice-stuffed dolmas with tzatziki, olive oil-topped labneh with bread, and a great flatbread pizza topped with labneh and honey.

How to make cool condiments

Try these following recipes on the side to complement your summer grilled or smoked meat, fish and vegetables.

The recipes are more like suggestions than hard-and-fast rules. Adjust the seasonings to your own taste.

For the yogurt, consider making your own Greek-style in a hot pot and straining it to a thickness you like. For a more authentic tzatziki/raita, make the yogurt with goat’s milk.

For the cucumbers, use firm, seedless English cucumbers or small pickling cucumbers, preferably local.

Remove seeds, if any, before preparing tzatziki or raita. Dice or finely grate the cucumbers. Sprinkle them with salt and let them drain in a strainer for one to four hours in the refrigerator. Squeeze them dry in a kitchen towel. This keeps the sauces from getting watery.

Tzatziki 1 large cucumber, unpeeled 1 1/2 cups plain full-fat Greek yogurt 3 large garlic cloves, very finely chopped 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon white vinegar 1/3 teaspoon salt (or, to taste) 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill herb Prepare cucumber. (See above). Mix yogurt, garlic, oil, vinegar and salt in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Mix the grated cucumber and fresh dill with yogurt mixture, stir and serve.

Raita 1 large cucumber, unpeeled 1 1/2 cups plain full fat Greek-style yogurt 1 teaspoon (or more) cayenne 3 tablespoons finely minced cilantro 3/4 teaspoon garam masala (curry spice mixture) 1 small serrano or jalapeno chile, finely minced (optional) 1/3 teaspoon salt (or, to taste) In a bowl whisk cayenne and garam masala into yogurt and add prepared cucumber (see above). Mix in cilantro and chile and toss again. Taste and adjust salt. Chill for at least four hours before serving.

Colorado = collaboration

I love the community spirit at work in the state’s food and beverage industry. The latest is the Colorado Whiskey Collaboration Project, which brought seven Colorado distilleries together recently to create a collective wheat whiskey. 291 Colorado Distillery, Bear Creek Distillery, Laws Whiskey House, Old Elk Distillery, State 38 Distilling, Woody Creek Distillers and Wood’s High Mountain Distillery crafted a whiskey and collectively filled a new, freshly toasted and charred white oak barrel. It will be aged two years at Laws to make it an official Straight Wheat Whisky yielding about 900 bottles to be auctioned off to benefit local charities.

Taste of the week

The Chipotle Mexicano sauce from Boulder-based Chiporro Sauce Co. really surprises your mouth... in a good way. Starting out savory with notes of tomato, onion, bell pepper and garlic, the sauce gets hotter (but not blistering) with chipotle chilies and ends up smoky and complex. It is among six hot sauces developed by Peruvian-born chef Carlos Ruiz, including Rocoto Hot Sauce (made from Peruvian rocoto peppers) and Hawaiian BBQ Sauce. They are available at local markets including Natural Grocers, Whole Foods, Lucky’s Market and Cured.

TABLE

Taking off

Gastronauts is weird and wonderful, and you need to go there

by Matt Cortina Matt Cortina

Gastronauts owner Shiela with one of her “kids”

A

fter two “bonks” on the head rendered John blind, Ham the space monkey showed up, and Sheila quit her job as a landscape architect and dyed her hair purple. Two years later, Sheila has 12 kids in the American Legion kitchen, and John spends months on secret recipes for pizza dough.

Now that’s the short story of how Gastronauts took off and became one of Boulder Matt Cortina County’s brightest food stars. But the long story is also loaded with details that seem out of this world.

1. Sheila has a photographic memory of customers. When I meet Sheila and John at the building owned by and connected to the American Legion, which Gastronauts shares with Gravity Brewing, Sheila says hello to everyone at the bar and places her hand on each of their backs.

“I know everybody by name,” Sheila says. “I was a teacher, and I’m Irish, so I always had to remember names, and I’m really good at it. And I remember details.”

“There’re people who haven’t been in in a year and she’ll say, ‘Are you gonna have the hamburger because that’s what you had last time,’” John says.

As we sit at a picnic table on the outdoor patio, talking about how many people Sheila knows, a young couple and their dog walk by and Sheila asks how their hike went. Later, she asks me, “You had the crispy broccoli, right?” Yes, I did, but more than a year ago.

“I’ve never seen anything like it,” John, who worked as a corporate chef

50 June 28 , 2018

for decades, says. “People bring us gifts. People bring her flowers.”

“We get hugs in the grocery store all the time,” Sheila says.

2. Gastronauts only started because John went blind. Doctors had warned him he was prone to retinal detachments, and all it took was a little trauma to permanently detach them. Two “bonks” on the head, and John was legally blind in one eye, impaired in the other, and unable to work in the corporate kitchen or drive a car.

“I had no plans to retire until my vision frizzed out,” John says. “This kind of just fell in our laps. ... I didn’t know about Gravity and went to a brew fest, and they gave us beer tokens, and that’s how we discovered it. We came in and had one beer and another beer and another beer. We came back and had birthday parties here. Then it popped up on Facebook that this kitchen was open.”

3. Their mascot is a monkey, and it actually means something. John and Sheila recount the story back-and-forth, trading off lines of the story without interrupting each other.

“When we knew we were going to do this, we started writing down ideas for names. They just didn’t pop,” John says.

“We wanted to have a tie to Gravity. They’re one of our core supporters, and we liked the idea of it being a simpatico thing,” Sheila says.

“As we were opening, it went back and forth.”

“We just threw everything out that we could think of. We had Sir Isaac Newton in one.”

“Swing and a miss, swing and a miss. Then John (Frazee, owner of ) Boulder Weekly

Gravity came back with Gastronauts.”

“The tie-in of gastronomy and astronauts was perfect.”

The name was announced at the launch party, and a graphic designer friend mocked up the logo with Ham the monkey, the first monkey in space.

A few weeks later, having already won a few regulars, a couple brought in something to solidify the logo.

“We had a regular couple, Scott and Becky Bartlett, the ‘Bartlett Pair.’ Her dad worked on the space shuttle when Ham the monkey was on it,” Sheila says. “So Becky brought in the T-shirt from Ham the monkey’s first visit.

People have come back from the Smithsonian with space monkey apparel. Someone came back from L.A. with something else.”

4. The food is unique, approachable and unlike anything else in Boulder County.

“If we’re going to do something that’s familiar, it’s going to be best of breed,” John says.

That includes the aforementioned crispy broccoli, air-light, herbaceous crunch-bombs drizzled with sriracha aioli that the kitchen staff refers to as “crack.” It includes spontaneous menu items that John finds perusing food magazines or watching food shows, like the shitake crisps, which are dried shitake mushrooms rehydrated, coated in rice flour slurry and served alongside house-made umami sauce. There is pozole, lamb sloppy joes, chicken wings the size of your fist, Mexican street corn and made-to-order jelly doughnuts.

Then there’s the pizza.

5. John spent months developing a pizza dough flour blend that mimics New York-style pizza and which he has willed to one close friend, who is not Sheila.

“It’s an interesting story,” John says.

“To be a traditional Neapolitan pizzeria ... you have to use this OO flour. The major brand all these chefs kept talking to me about is Caputo, and I was like, ‘Let me see what the big deal is.’ So I literally took Betty Crocker’s pizza dough recipe and used the Caputo as the flour to do a benchmark ... and it’s designed for high-temperature ovens, so it doesn’t burn. And I didn’t like it at all.

It doesn’t have great texture or flavor.

“It sparked in my head, ‘What are all these flours out there? What do they contribute? I made the same recipe with probably 25 different flours, and I made notes on what they brought to the party. Some of them brought bread flavor, some were cracker crisp. And that brought me to this point of everyone says, ‘New York pizza is about the Boulder Weekly

water,’ and I’m looking at my notes that this one’s gonna bring the crispness of New York pizza, this one’s gonna bring the chewiness.”

John, from New Jersey, the son of a Sicilian baker, got it right. And now he’s making Sicilian thick-crust pizza that’s as good as anywhere in the country. All you have to do is follow Gastronauts on Facebook to find out when it’s available and get it before it’s gone, which is usually in a matter of hours.

6. They’re perfectly happy not expanding.

“We’ve had offers for free rent,” John says. “We’ve had people approach us and say, ‘We want this at our place.’

But this our baby. This is what we do.

We don’t kill ourselves. It’s common to work 80 hours a week in the restaurant industry. We work probably 45; two days off a week and not killing ourselves and putting money in the bank.

“And we take really good care of our kids,” Sheila says. “That was important to me when hiring that we pay them competitively and do whatever we possibly can.”

Sheila calls her employees, many college-aged, her kids, and I have to ask her several times if she’s talking about her biological children (she has one, who does work at Gastronauts) or kids she’s adopted in the kitchen.

“It’s a wonderful, wonderful place. I was touchy-feely in schools and getting to know my families and kids, but even the kids who work in our kitchen with us are (our) kids. We do stuff outside of work and do stuff for them,” Sheila says.

The kids seem really happy to work in the kitchen. And John and Sheila let them generate their own menu items, sometimes, as when one kid dipped the chicken wings in the shitake crisp rice slurry and created what John calls “Kentucky fried chicken wings.”

The operation is so simple and so joyous, I have to ask why it seems so rare to have such a welcoming environment, and why John and Sheila were the right ones to do it.

“In the right place at the right time,” John says.

“But it certainly doesn’t feel so serendipitous that the bubble can burst at any moment because we’ve put a lot of hard work into this, and the way we grew was really nice because we didn’t become huge right away,” Sheila says.

“I’ve never seen anything in my whole career like what this has become,” John says.

“In two years, which is amazing to me,” Sheila says.

Or, out of this world.

ARIES

MARCH 21-APRIL 19: Your best ideas and soundest

decisions will materialize as if by magic while you’re lounging around doing nothing in a worry-free environment. So please make sure you have an abundance of relaxed slack and unhurried grace. Treat yourself to record-setting levels of comfort and self-care. Do whatever’s necessary for you to feel as safe as you have ever felt. I realize these prescriptions might ostensibly clash with your fiery Aries nature. But if you meditate on them for even two minutes, I bet you’ll agree they’re exquisitely appropriate for you right now.

TAURUS

APRIL 20-MAY 20: “It is always what is under pres-

sure in us, especially under pressure of concealment — that explodes in poetry.” Taurus poet Adrienne Rich wrote that in an essay about the poet Emily Dickinson.

She was describing the process of tapping into potent but buried feelings so as to create beautiful works of literature. I’m hoping to persuade you to take a comparable approach: to give voice to what’s under pressure inside you, but in a graceful and constructive way that has positive results.

GEMINI

MAY 21-JUNE 20: Introductory offers are expiring.

The bracing thrills of novelty must ripen into the cool enjoyments of maturity. It’s time to finish the dress rehearsals so the actual show can begin. You’ve got to start turning big, bright fantasies into crisp, nononsense realities. In light of these shifting conditions, I suspect you can no longer use your good intentions as leverage, but must deliver more tangible signs of commitment. Please don’t take this as a criticism, but the cosmic machinery in your vicinity needs some actual oil, not just your witty stories about the oil and the cosmic machinery.

CANCER

JUNE 21-JULY 22: In the coming weeks, you will

have an excellent chance to dramatically decrease your Wimp Quotient. As the perilously passive parts of your niceness toughen up, I bet you will encounter brisk possibilities that were previously off-limits or invisible to you. To ensure you remain in top shape for this delightful development, I think you should avoid entertainment that stimulates fear and pessimism.

Instead of watching the latest flurry of demoralizing stories on Netflix, spend quality time summoning memories of the times in your life when you were unbeatable. For extra credit, pump your fist ten times each day as you growl, “Victory is mine!”

LEO

JULY 23-AUG. 22: It’s not so bad to temporarily

lose your bearings. What’s bad is not capitalizing on the disruption that caused you to lose your bearings.

So I propose that you regard the fresh commotion as a blessing. Use it as motivation to initiate radical changes. For example, escape the illusions and deceptions that caused you to lose your bearings. Explore unruly emotions that may be at the root of the superpowers you will fully develop in the future. Transform yourself into a brave self-healer who is newly receptive to a host of medicinal clues that were not previously accessible.

VIRGO

AUG. 23-SEPT. 22: Here’s my list of demands: 1.

Avoid hanging out with people who are unreceptive to your influence. 2. Avoid hanging out with people whose influence on you is mediocre or dispiriting.

3. Hang out with people who are receptive to your influence and whose influence on you is healthy and stimulating. 4. Influence the hell out of the people who are receptive to your influence. Be a generous catalyst for them. Nudge them to surpass the limits they would benefit from surpassing. 5. Allow yourself to be deeply moved by people whose influence on you is healthy and stimulating.

LIBRA

SEPT. 23-OCT. 22: “If I didn’t define myself for

Lorde said that, and now, in accordance with your current astrological and psychological needs, I’m offering it to you. I realize it’s a flamboyant, even extreme, declaration, but in my opinion, that’s what is most likely to motivate you to do the right thing. Here’s another splashy prompt, courtesy of philosopher JeanPaul Sartre: “We only become what we are by the radical and deep-seated refusal of that which others have made us.”

SCORPIO

OCT. 23-NOV. 21: André René Roussimoff, also known as André the Giant, was a French actor and professional wrestler. He was 7 feet, 4 inches tall and weighed 520 pounds. As you might imagine, he ate and drank extravagantly. On one festive occasion, he quaffed 119 bottles of beer in six hours. Judging from your current astrological indicators, Scorpio, I suspect you may be ready for a binge like that. Just kidding!

I sincerely hope you won’t indulge in such wasteful forms of “pleasure.” The coming days should be a time when you engage in a focused pursuit of uplifting and healthy modes of bliss. The point is to seek gusto and amusement that enhance your body, mind and soul.

CHANGE STARTS HERE. Can we count you in?

SAGITTARIUS

NOV. 22-DEC. 21: On her 90th birthday, my Great-

Aunt Zosia told me, “The best gift you can give your ego is to make it see it’s both totally insignificant and totally important in the cosmic scheme of things.”

Jenna, my girlfriend when I was 19, was perhaps touting a similar principle when, after teasing and tormenting me for two hours, she scrawled on my bathroom mirror in lipstick, “Sometimes you enjoy life better if you don’t understand it.” Then there’s my Zen punk friend Arturo, who says that life’s goodies are more likely to flow your way if you “hope for nothing and are open to everything.” According to my analysis of the astrological rhythms, these messages will help you make the most of the bewildering but succulent opportunities that are now arriving in your vicinity.

CAPRICORN

DEC. 22-JAN. 19: In accordance with the astro-

logical beacons, I have selected two pieces of advice to serve as your guiding meditations during the next seven weeks. You might want to write them on a piece of paper that you will carry in your wallet or pocket.

Here’s the first, from businessman Alan Cohen: “Only those who ask for more can get more, and only those who know there is more, ask.” Here’s the second, from writer G. K. Chesterton: “We need to be happy in this wonderland without once being merely comfortable.”

AQUARIUS

JAN. 20-FEB. 18: Ecologists in Mexico City investigated why certain sparrows and finches use humans’ discarded cigarette butts in building their nests. They found that cellulose acetate, a chemical in the butts, protects the nests by repelling parasitic mites. Is there a metaphorical lesson you might draw from the birds’ ingenious adaptation, Aquarius? Could you find good use for what might seem to be dross or debris? My analysis of the astrological omens says that this possibility is worth meditating on.

PISCES

FEB. 19-MARCH 20: I suspect that sometime soon

you will come into possession of an enchanted potion or pixie dust or a pouch full of magic beans — or the equivalent. If and when that occurs, consider the following protocols: 1. Before you use your new treasure, say a prayer to your higher self, requesting that you will be guided to use it in such a way as to make yourself wiser and kinder. 2. When you use it, be sure it harms no one. 3. Express gratitude for it before and during and after using it. 4. Use it in such a way that it benefits at least one other person or creature in addition to you. 5. See if you can use it to generate the arrival of more pixie dust or magical beans or enchanted potion in the future. 6. When you use it, focus on wielding it to get exactly what you want, not what you sort of want or temporarily want.

Dear Dan: You ran a letter about a gay man (“Sam”) who has been sucking off his straight friend. Sam said he’s never done this before and isn’t turned on by the idea of “servicing straight guys.” I am a gay man who enjoys sucking off straight guys and I wanted to share my perspective. I’m not trying to “convert” them. I simply find that straight guys have less emotional baggage than most gay guys. A guy’s dick is his proudest possession. They like to have them admired, especially the straight guys who don’t often get much feedback about their dicks from women.

I’m very skilled, so it’s a thrill for me to give a guy a lot of pleasure. I like doing things that make other folks happy, and sucking dick is something that’s appreciated. One guy I’ve known for about 20 years, and after many years apart, he is wanting to see me again. I don’t want a relationship; I don’t want to have to think about two people and have to adjust my plans. It’s hard enough to plan for just me. I prefer the friendship and the occasional dick sucking. They can always trust me to be straightforward with them.

I will never take advantage of them, even when they get drunk. I like pleasing them and having their trust. And for the big question everybody asks: “Do you get lonely?” No, I don’t. I have all kinds of friends and lots of interests and hobbies.

And from time to time, I get to suck a guy’s dick.

—Whatever Acronym Works Dear WAW: Like most gay guys, WAW, you’ve got some baggage there of your own. You don’t want a relationship — and, hey, that’s fine! Not everyone wants to pair or triple or quad off, and not everyone has to want that. But you’re seeking out straight guys not because they have less baggage on average than gay guys (they don’t), but because straight guys won’t be interested in you romantically, and consequently won’t demand a commitment from you or ask you to prioritize their needs and feelings the way a boyfriend would. So it’s not that you and all the straight guys you’re sucking off are baggage-free, WAW, it’s that your baggage fits so neatly inside theirs that you can momentarily forget you’ve got any at all.

Dear Dan: I am a transgender man, and my girlfriend is a transgender woman, and we have hit a plateau.

Intimate time is rare, communication is minimal, and although I care for her deeply, I do not like her as a person and no longer want to get married. I have considered asking if we could open up the relationship, but I doubt that is the solution. How does one end a long-term relationship?

monogamous), people hear about the insincere requests that preceded a breakup and conclude all requests are insincere.

Anyway, HRT, how does one end a long-term relationship? One uses one’s words. If “I love you” are the three magic words, then “I’m leaving you” are the three tragic words. Seeing as intimacy is rare and communication is minimal, it shouldn’t come as a shock to your soon-to-be-ex fiancée.

Dispensaries take high road on ‘Permit Patty’

D

ear white women, please find better hobbies and interests to fill your lives with instead of trying to micromanage every black person you see in public.

We know that people of color are more likely to experience police violence, so stop acting like calling 911 is the same thing as asking to speak to the manager. Involving the cops because you don’t have the emotional intelli-

gence to handle a personal conflict without being dramatic and petty is a vindictive act that wastes resources and puts people in danger. If being a decent person isn’t motivation enough, consider that it could end up costing you your job and reputation.

Over the weekend, a video of a white woman losing her shit and calling the police to report an 8-year-old black girl for selling

Boulder Weekly

bottled water without a permit went viral after the girl’s mom posted it on Instagram.

“Permit Patty,” as the internet has named her, was identified as Alison Ettel. She was the CEO of a San Francisco-based company called Treatwell Health, which makes cannabis products for cats and dogs, but was forced to resign on Tuesday after public backlash.

In the footage, Ettel appears to call the police over a child selling bottles of water for $2 on the street in Oakland. Once Ettel realizes she’s being filmed, she unsuccessfully tries to hide behind a wall.

She later said that she only “pretended” to call the police because the girl was being loud.

Within days of the video being released, several dispensaries cut ties with Treatwell Health in an effort to publicly distance themselves from Ettel’s recent actions. One of the cannabis stores, Magnolia, released this statement: “After seeing this video of their CEO, we decided without hesitation that we could no longer patronize her company.” They added that while Treatwell was one of their best-selling products, “integrity is always before profits.” Other dispensaries have taken similar actions.

First of all, what kind of monster “pretends” to report a child for selling water on a hot day? That only proves that she never cared about the permits, but was willing to put on an act in order to get her way by bullying a little girl. Second of all, isn’t it ironic that a white entrepreneur who sold weed called the cops on a young black entrepreneur for selling water? That feels like a lot of privilege to unpack. At the end of the day, money

talks and consumers have the power to decide which companies or people they want to cancel. I think it’s really rad that so many dispensaries took the moral high ground and disassociated themselves from Treatwell.

Ettel cried during a recent news interview while claiming to regret how she handled the situation and insisting that her actions were not racially motivated. However, this is a frequently repeated pattern of behavior that needs to stop. The entitlement held by white people so often prevents them from experiencing actual consequences for their actions, but it’s 2018 so now racists face instant karma via a viral video that shows the world how terrible they are in real life. Ettel is just another white woman who initiated microaggressions against a black person, but then turns around and plays the victim when things don’t go her way.

This incident was only the latest viral encounter in which white people have been served swift internet justice over harassing people of color for doing nothing. In April, a white woman dubbed “BBQ Becky” was recorded calling police on a black couple using a charcoal grill in a non-approved area at Lake Merritt in Oakland. There was also attorney Aaron Schlossberg, who verbally assaulted a bunch of people at a Fresh Kitchen and threatened to call ICE because he heard them speaking Spanish to each other.

As for the little girl selling water? The whole reason she was selling water in the first place was to earn enough money for Disneyland tickets. In a beautiful twist of fate, the internet has done what it does best, and a stranger who heard the story sent her four tickets to Disneyland after all.

Oklahoma voters just legalized medical marijuana

E

xcept maybe in science fiction and alternate history tales, the words “Oklahoma” and “legal marijuana” have rarely appeared in the same sentence up to now.

That changed Tuesday, June 26, when Oklahoma voters passed State Question 788, an initiative legalizing medical marijuana by a nearly 122,000-vote margin.

The vote, with all of the state’s 1951 precincts reporting, was 506,782 in favor versus 384,872 opposed, or 56.8 percent to 43.2.

The victory margin is impressive for three reasons: 1) Oklahoma is one of the most socially conservative states in the country. 2) The vote took place during a primary election, when voter turnout tends to be older and more conservative. 3) There was organized and well-funded opposition to the initiative.

“No one can stop an idea whose time has come,” an exuberant Shawn Jenkins, the secretary of the Vote Yes on 788 PAC, told the Tulsa World at the committee’s watch party. “No one can stop common people for a common cause coming together — no matter how much money (you spend) or lies you try to speak.”

Opponents, whose PAC was named “SQ 788 is Not Medical,” spent about half-a-million dollars trying to kill the initiative with a late TV ad blitz, claiming, among other things, that the initiative was so broad and loosely worded that it amounted to de facto legalization of recreational pot.

Apparently they made little headway with the narrative. Polling before the election by the Sooner Poll showed support around 61.8 percent in favor in January. A second Sooner Poll in May, found support of 57.5 percent. Most voters in favor of the initiative appear to have formed their opinions well in advance of the election.

(Some national polls have found support for medical marijuana legalization in general as high as

Boulder Weekly

90 percent.)

While it falls considerably short of de facto legalization of recreational pot, the Oklahoma initiative is being described by some advocates as one of the most far-reaching in the country.

According to the Tulsa World, the initiative’s main points include: • Patients may possess up to 3 ounces of marijuana on them and up to 6 ounces at home, as well as grow up to six plants and six seedlings.

• Employee discrimination based on status as a marijuana patient is prohibited.

• The Oklahoma State Department of Health will establish a special office funded by taxes on medical marijuana sales to oversee the program.

• Patients with a doctor’s signature will apply for a two-year license at a cost of $100, or $25 for those with Medicaid or Medicare.

What the measure doesn’t say: • Qualifying medical conditions for legal marijua-

na use are not specified, as in all other states’ medical marijuana programs.

• No legal limit or any other exemptions for licensed patients from Oklahoma’s zerotolerance laws for drivers who test positive for THC, the psychoactive component in marijuana, or its metabolites.

Oklahoma’s out-going Governor Mary Fallin, who campaigned against the initiative, said, in so many words, that while she respected the decision of the voters, she intended to encourage the legislature to mess with it anyway.

“I respect the will of the voters in any question placed before them to determine the direction of our state,” she said, adding that “I believe, as well as many Oklahomans, this new law is written so loosely that it opens the door for basically recreational marijuana. I will be discussing with legislative leaders and state agencies our options going forward on how best to proceed with adding a medical and proper regulatory framework to make sure marijuana use is truly for valid medical illnesses.”

She also indicated she intended to call a special session of the Oklahoma legislature to deal with regulatory issues.

The most obvious ways to mess with the initiative would be to limit the number of conditions for which medical marijuana could be prescribed and to slap time, place and manner restrictions on how pot could be sold and consumed.

But second-guessing voters who have just passed an initiative has its risks, especially when the voters have an opportunity to second guess the second guessers in November.

At least one other deep red state — Utah — will be voting on medical marijuana this November, as will purple Missouri. Polling in both states shows strong support for medical marijuana. The victory in Oklahoma bodes well for those initiatives.
