NOTE THE DAZE OF VACATION DAYS I’m with Bill Cope this week. Yes, there is plenty to write about: redistricting in Idaho (see News, Page 8), the Rupert Murdoch/News of the World scandal (incidentally, some people still think Boise Weekly is owned by Murdoch’s News Corp. after an April Fool’s prank some years back), the latest debt ceiling spat between President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner, the colorful discussions among BW readers at boiseweekly. com this week, the dude who became the first to rack up 10 million miles with United Airlines ... this list could go on. Heck, it would even be entertaining to just reprint that viral USA Today weather graphic that not only depicted a personified sun jerking off a thermometer but doing so with a rather suggestive expression. But it’s not easy getting serious about news when mother nature keeps rolling out one gorgeous day after another. Last week, I was fortunate enough to take a few days off, and I spent the time driving to and from a speck of a town in central New Mexico. The high desert gave way to the still-snow-covered peaks of Salt Lake City, which gave way to the Canyonlands, which gave way to the flatlands of the Land of Enchantment. I took in the deceptively finite space of this West in which we live and wished I’d revisited the words of Mary Austin’s The Land of Little Rain before the journey. At Arches National Park, I stood within the cradle of a rock hollowed out by eons of wind and rain, trying to imagine Edward Abbey’s lonely existence in that place and made a mental note to dust off Desert Solitaire when I returned home. And when you’re surrounded, day after day, by the vast landscape of the empty West, it’s surprisingly effortless—even for the most news-obsessed among us—to let the days stretch by without a newspaper or a broadcast in sight. It’s so easy to just be outside. But vacations must end, news must go on. In this edition of Boise Weekly, Cope tackles distraction, News Editor George Prentice examines the redistricting process from the perspective of Idaho’s growing Latino vote, Guy Hand goes looking for fungi, and we uncover an immaculate croquet court in a rather unexpected place. My advice? Grab your paper/iPad/smartphone/laptop and read outside. —Rachael Daigle

OPINION/BILL COPE

NEXT WEEK’S COLUMN Damn I wish it was done! I wanna go outside! Sometimes, when I’m having trouble stirring up a column, I just sit down and start writing. I type in the first thing that pops to mind and keep typing. It’s like priming a pump, that’s the way I look at it. I’m doing it right now. Let’s see if it works. Uh ... OK ... uh ... uh ... U Damn. No such luck. It’s been 45 minutes since I typed that last “uh ...” and my pump is still coming up dry. I wish I was outside, doing something. Barbecuing something. Drinking something that friends brought over in a cooler full of ice. I wish I was having fun. Sometimes it seems like everybody is having fun but me. Like last night. It was the Fourth of July, and when the sun went down, I was here alone, watching Star Trek. (TNG, just so you know.) It was the episode where everyone on the Enterprise except young Wesley Crusher gets hooked on a video game through a skinny alien headset. The gismo reminded me a little of those iPod ear buds, and I thought, Imagine that! There’s an iPodlooking thingie from 20 years before Apple started selling iPods. I’ll bet this very Star Trek is where Steve Jobs got the idea, in fact. I bet I could get a column out of that, about how Gene Roddenberry was so far ahead of his time that if he were still around, Darrell Issa would be calling him in to testify before a committee in one of those Congressional investigations into the liberal influence on popular science fiction. I almost went to the computer that very second to start writing, but the first fireworks began rumbling in from outside, out where other people were barbecuing stuff and having fun. The boomers must have cleared my head because I suddenly remembered that at this particular moment in time, there are no Congressional investigations into the liberal influence on popular science fiction. Damn, I thought, that would have been a good column. I was disappointed, for sure, since I’d been straining my brain all day to come up with a column idea, and for a moment there, I thought I had it. But I’ll tuck it away for future reference. Sooner or later, if things keep going the way they are, some congressman, whether it’s Darrell Issa or not, will want to investigate science-fiction liberals, so I’ll just hang onto the idea until then. But here I am, still fiddle-farting around for a topic. Normally I don’t have so much trouble getting started. Normally, however, I don’t put my wife on a plane Fourth of July morning, leaving me all by myself on that very day when most people are outside, drinking out of ice-filled coolers and sitting in lawn chairs with family and friends, all carefree and crap. All day long, every time I tried to concentrate on getting a column idea, all I could think about was, Wonder what I’ll have for dinner tonight. Normally, see, I would simply ask, “Honey, what are

6 | JULY 13–19, 2011 | BOISEweekly

we having for dinner tonight?” But now it’s up totally to me what I’m having for dinner (tonight, last night and several nights to come) and how’s a person supposed to come up with column ideas when he has that sort of pressure in his life? Actually, I had a pretty good idea a few days ago, shortly after that shuffling weasel Rep. Eric Cantor walked out of the negotiations on raising the debt ceiling. When I heard about that, I thought, Oh, golly. How touching. Isn’t it just divine how concerned the Republicans and tea baggers and rightwing crazies in general are over the economic burden the national debt will put on the backs of our children and grandchildren. What magnanimous beings they are. Now if only they would show a fraction of that concern over the burden on our children and grandchildren that an environmental collapse, unregulated poisons in everything from the atmosphere to the oceans, un-inspected and deadly bacteria in their food supply, un-monitored and everpresent danger on their jobs, and accelerating climate-driven disasters from crop failures to killer storms that will result from their wholesale emasculation of government regulatory agencies like the EPA, FDA and OSHA, along with their refusal to respond in any way to the threat of global warming. Yeah, it was going to be a pretty good column, had I written it. I was going to start off greasy with sarcasm, see? On the first part where I was going to make them sound like they really are decent people and really do give a crap about children and grandchildren, I was going to slather it on thick about what saints they are. And then I planned on flipping an about-face and unloading a litany of glaring evidence that they don’t give a crap about anything, let alone children and grandchildren. How they’re gnawing like rat zombies on the government oversight meant to keep our air breathable and our water drinkable, our guts free of salmonella and E. coli, our environment relatively stable, and our kids from sliding back into the old child labor days. I mean, that’s what’s going on, and all you have to do to see it happening is wake up and look. So in the end, that column (had I written it) would have been about how they sob their crocodile hearts out over the economic burden on future generations, even while they are promoting radical and existential burdens that could mean there won’t be a much of a future to cry over. That would have been a damn good column. I should have written it when I had the chance. But what did I do instead? Yeah, you guessed it. I went outside. Thought I could have more fun out there than in here. Happens every day, every summer, ever since I was a little kid. Now excuse me. I’m going out for a while, and then I have to start thinking about what’s for dinner. I’ll get this started later. WWW. B O I S E WE E KLY. C O M

TED RALL/OPINION

GUILTY AFTER INNOCENT Make DSK whole, then jail him ST. PETERSBURG, FLA.—Innocent until proven guilty. We say it. We teach it to our children. But we don’t believe it. Dominique Strauss-Kahn, charged with forcing a hotel cleaning person in midtown Manhattan to perform oral sex, has been released. This was not a case of a defendant wielding inﬂuence to weasel out of responsibility. To the contrary, the NYPD and district attorney believed the alleged victim. The cops aggressively pursued DSK, as the French media calls him. District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. says the case has fallen apart. The victim was unreliable at best, a conwoman at worst. The charges are dead. Though legally innocent, DSK will not be restored to his job leading the International Monetary Fund, which he was forced to resign. Before getting dragged off an Air France jet bound for Paris, the de-accused rapist was considered a frontrunner for the Socialist Party’s nomination for the French presidency. If legal innocence is to rise above hollow rhetoric, people like DSK ought to be entitled to the full restoration of their pre-arrest status. Not many will agree with me on this. Which is my point: As a society, we don’t really believe in innocent until proven guilty. We did not revel in Strauss-Kahn’s arrest because of the crime that the legal system has since decided not to pursue, rape. We laughed and jeered because we hate(d) him. We hate(d) DSK because he is rich and evil. Had DSK been a run-of-the-mill accused rapist, few would have noticed and no one would have been as gleeful about his predicament. I published a cartoon showing DSK in a

WWW. B OISEWEEKLY.C O M

police interrogation room. “What’s the big deal?” I showed him asking police detectives. “I’ve been raping the world for years!” It takes a cruel genius to turn big profits on the backs of the world’s poorest people. Meet DSK’s IMF. First, IMF officials such as DSK convince the political leaders of say, Kyrgyzstan, that they could rapidly modernize their Fourth World backwater with a loan. Increase in GDP or no, the IMF loans come due. What to do? IMF experts parachute in and recommend: “structural adjustment.” No more profligate spending on social programs. The IMF is the world’s biggest loan shark. In the United States, IMF-style gangster capitalism takes the form of Republican/Tea Party “starve the beast” demagoguery. There’s always money for rich people. And for wars. And for wars that make rich people richer. For the poor and middle class, Medicare and Social Security are ostentatious and unaffordable luxuries. Socialized medicine, guaranteed cost-of-living increases and unlimited unemployment benefits are off the table. It is this economic outlook, devoid of humanity and contemptuous of people’s basic needs, that Strauss-Kahn represents. We all hate him and those like him. He deserves prison. Until there’s a revolution, however, DSK will never suffer for the crimes he committed as a globe-trotting financier. Even as DSK flew first class and left his most intimate DNA in $450-a-night suites at four-star hotels, his IMF was demanding that the citizens of Greece and Portugal slash pensions and hike college tuition. That is his biggest crime, and the one for which he and those like him should someday face justice.

A BIGGER PIECE OF THE ACTION Idaho Latinos keep a close eye on redistricting GEORGE PRENTICE More Idaho Latinos stood up to be counted in the 2010 Census: Since 2000, the Gem State’s Hispanic or Latino population grew 73 percent. Now, Hispanic leaders hope they have earned the opportunity to sit down at the proverbial political table. Decisions made in the next 30 days by a bipartisan commission on redistricting could either grant greater representation to Idaho’s fastest growing community or leave Latinos standing in the wings. “Redistricting will definitely impact everyone here,” said Alex Zamora, waving his arm across a room at the Caldwell Public Library. Zamora, chair of the Idaho Hispanic Caucus Institute for Research and Education, stood before a room filled with students, seniors and representatives from Idaho’s Mexican Consulate. Attendees had two things in common: They’re Latino and they are engaged—politically, socially and now with Idaho’s redistricting process. Idaho Code 72-1506 requires the state to be divided into equal districts based on population. Even those disenfranchised by poverty and/or homelessness are to be counted and represented. In a perfect world, Idaho’s official population of 1,567,582 would be evenly divided into 35 districts of 44,788 persons. But redistricting has had a complex history. In an attempt to be fair by preserving city and county boundaries, previous commissions left many districts uneven. Two glaring examples of Idaho’s lopsided legislative regions can be found in District 14 (including parts of Eagle, Meridian and Star) and District 22 (including Mountain Home). The 2010 Census indicated District 14 included 77,000 people while District 14 counted only 34,000. Of greater interest to Idaho Latinos is Canyon County, currently represented by Districts 10, 11, 12 and 13. Each district readily tops the 44,788 threshold. District 13 in southern Canyon County has 58,725. “I wouldn’t be terribly surprised if Canyon County goes from four districts up to five,” said Zamora. Alfredo Hernandez of Idaho’s Center for

Community and Justice keeps his ﬁnger on the political pulse of Canyon County’s growing Latino community. “There is a much greater need for proper representation,” said Hernandez. “With a growing population of educated Latinos, to not put them in positions of power would be to miss a great opportunity.” Maria Mabbutt, board member of the Idaho Hispanic Caucus, has a personal and political interest in the future of District 12, which includes much of the city of Nampa. “In last year’s election, I ran for the

voter registration. “Latinos and women. We’re a big part of the population here,” said Mondragon, a junior at the University of Idaho. “But we’re clearly under-represented. That’s why I hope to run for office someday.” But before Mondragon runs for office, the process of redistricting Idaho must define the new lay of the political land. “What’s the goal? Boundaries that make sense,” said Zamora. To appreciate the Herculean task in front of the six-member redistricting commission, consider Idaho’s overall growth. Between 2000 and 2010, Idaho grew by 273,629 people. “It’s the equivalent of adding another Boise and Pocatello to our state,” said Lee Flinn, executive director of Conservation Voters for Idaho. “People are dazed when they hear the numbers. But what’s really at the heart of redistricting is maintaining and upholding the value of one person-one vote.” Flinn and Zamora said redistricting is not a Republican vs. Democrat issue. “We’re not talking to people about voting one party or another,” said Zamora. “We’re talking about voting period. In the Latino community, we’re still taking basic steps of getting mobilized and politically active.” Following a final public hearing scheduled for Wednesday, July 13, at Meridian City Hall, the redistricting commission will get to the work of slicing up Idaho. The six commissioners have eight days of meetings scheduled through the remainder of July. In case they need more time, the commission penciled in 14 more dates between Monday, Aug. 1, and Friday, Sept. 2. If commissioners still can’t reach a consensus, the ultimate arbiter would be the Idaho Supreme Court. But one way or another, Idaho’s new districts need to be set by next spring’s primary elections, which will affect state legislative races and runoffs for Idaho’s two U.S. House seats. “Redistricting is critically important,” said Flinn. “Because it will determine who is elected, and those are the people who will make the policy decisions that impact Idahoans every day. Not just Latinos, all Idahoans.” BEN WILSON

The Greater Boise Auditorium District board once again ended its most recent meeting bitterly divided. This month’s controversy at a meeting July 11 was a repeat of last month’s: restoration of funding to the Boise Convention and Visitors Bureau. BCVB had its funding cut off by the GBAD board in 2010, but the May 17 election of Hy Kloc and Judy PeaveyDerr swung the board’s majority to the opposite direction, again supporting BCVB. The first order of business was to sign BCVB to a temporary professional services contract for $24,500, expiring at the end of September. The majority of the GBAD board (Kloc, Mike Fitzgerald and Gail May) also voted to draft a new long-term Request for Proposal, whereby BCVB could bid for more permanent funding. Board member Stephanie Astorquia, who opposed the moves along with Peavey-Derr, questioned both contracts. “This is a blatant waste of public funds,” said Astorquia. May, who worked on both agreements, faced off with Astorquia. “They [BCVB] probably already earned this amount anyway just for all of the work that they have been doing for free since the beginning of the year,” said May. “This agreement is not constitutionally valid or statutorily valid,“ said Astorquia. “There is no requirement for sales efforts here so there is no deliverable.“ “Do you really believe that BCVB has not performed?” asked May. “I have a problem with the form and substance of your contracts,” Astorquia responded. By a 3-2 vote, the GBAD board accepted the temporary contract and moved forward toward a long-term arrangement. Again, Astorquia and Peavey-Derr questioned the wording of the request, giving BCVB an advantage in the bidding process. “Would you not agree that this RFP is targeted toward BCVB?” Peavey-Derr asked. “They probably fit the parameters,” admitted May. “It’s quite clear that there is only one entity that is contracted to do this work,” said Astorquia. “I have difficulty calling this a RFP. Again, you’re clearly skirting the competitive bidding process. I don’t think this is valid or legal.” But Astorquia and Peavey-Derr once again ended up on the losing end of the debate. Another GBAD shift involves the board majority’s desire to seek a replacement for its legal counsel. In describing former counsel Wayne Meuleman of Meuleman Mollerup, Fitzgerald previously said that Meuleman had been “way too deeply involved in policy making.” Fitzgerald told the board at the July 11 meeting that he had been working on a new RFP for legal services. Hawley Troxell law firm is expected to bid for the RFP. But Fitzgerald admitted during the board meeting that he had showed a draft of the RFP to Hawley Troxell before finishing the final proposal. Astorquia and Peavey-Derr were again visibly unnerved. “Let’s table this issue until the next meeting,” suggested Kloc.

Idaho House,” said Mabbutt. “When they’re done with redistricting this year, the first thing I want to know is if I’ll still be living in the same district. If I’m still in 12, I would say there’s a 90 percent chance that I will run again.” If Mabbutt had been successful in her race against incumbent Robert Schaefer, she would have been the only Latino voice in the current Idaho Legislature. “I came to Idaho like a lot of Mexican descendents came here, working the fields,” said Mabbutt. “Immigration is important, but the biggest issue has to be public education—for my four daughters, for Latinos, for all Idahoans.” “The state Legislature should reflect the people of Idaho,” said Zamora. “Yet we don’t have any Latino state legislators currently serving at the Statehouse.” The new voices and faces of Idaho’s Latino community include 17-year-old Eulalia Gallegos of Parma and 20-year-old Estania Mondragon of Nampa. “I’m fascinated by this process,” said Gallegos, who said that’s why she volunteers for Idaho Latino Vote, a nonprofit that promotes

AUDIT FINDS MISTAKES AT ARTS ORG Arts Commission director: “Mistakes happen.” BRADY MOORE AND SHELBY SOULE Following an audit concluding that Idaho Commission on the Arts inappropriately used $5,100 for entertainment expenses and found 560 accounting errors, ICA Executive Director Michael Faison is anxious to move forward. “Mistakes happen,” said Faison. “Humans make mistakes. Make new mistakes. No repeats, please.” The Audits Division of the Idaho Legislative Services Offices reviews each executive department of state government at least once every three years. Management reviews include evaluation of internal controls over financial and program activities. The most recent audit of ICA’s 2007-2009 fiscal years identified “significant conditions and weaknesses in the general administrative procedures and accounting controls of the commission.” Auditors uncovered entertainment expenses totaling $5,100 for a conference ICA hosted in 2009. More than 50 organizations from across Idaho were represented at the conference, designed to help arts nonprofits practice good fiscal responsibility. The day-and-a-halflong conference, funded through the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act, included an evening at Idaho Shakespeare Festival, and $5,100 was earmarked for tickets, transportation and meals. Auditors reminded Faison that entertainment expenses for publicly funded organizations were not allowed under federal regulations or Idaho code, a fact Faison told BW he knew before the conference. But in a formal letter of reply to the audit, he defended the expense as “an educational experience.” With money for the conference coming from federal stimulus dollars, Faison described the WWW. B OISEWEEKLY.C O M

opportunity as “one and done.” “This was all planned. Because we took them out to the festival grounds it looked like an entertainment cost, when it was, in fact, part of a larger workshop,” said Faison. “If we thought this would be a problem, we just wouldn’t have done it.” Faison said the evening included a speech from the festival stage concerning the public role of arts institutions in Idaho. Faison said he respectfully disagreed with the auditor’s interpretation of the expense, but said that ICA “wouldn’t be doing it again anyway.” Another finding in the audit report indicated 560 accounting errors and adjustments made during the 2009 fiscal year. The audit recommended improved oversight, review and training to “improve the reliability of financial information” and “reduce the volume of errors.” “The actual number surprised me,” said Faison. “When you see it on paper, you think that number sounds large.” Faison said more than half of the corrections could be attributed to salary, withholding and Social Security entries for one employee’s position funded through a grant and the entries needed to be backed out and re-entered when a new grant phase began. The other half, Faison said, were estimated entries based on requests for federal grant funding. Faison said the commission has since been able to establish a line of credit for federal funds, cutting the number of requested advances. As for future audits, Faison said, “It would disappointment me if there were any new findings.”

VIRGINIA HEMINGWAY Working to make animal cruelty a felony in Idaho GEORGE PRENTICE

Have you ever witnessed animals being tortured? Well, I grew up on a farm near Jerome. Are you saying that cruelty is part of the traditional life for a farm animal? I’m adamant that we should protect normal labor practices in the agricultural community. I understand shearing and de-horning and castrations, all of those processes. But is it fair to say that thousands of animals in Idaho are in pain today? Oh my God, yes. Absolutely. Can you speak to the January incident in New Plymouth, where more than 80 allegedly malnourished and mistreated animals were seized from a farm? [Three individuals were charged with 13 counts of animal cruelty and nine counts of permitting animals to go without care.]

10 | JULY 13–19, 2011 | BOISEweekly

That was torture. My personal opinion is the renters on that land were sadistic. Those are the people we’re after, repeat offenders. Wouldn’t a psychiatrist say that sometimes, this type of behavior is psychopathology? There was a case over in Pocatello where a woman was charged with 15 misdemeanors over 25 years involving hundreds of horses. How was she allowed to continue to keep animals? Law enforcement would tell her not to, but she would go out and get more. So these are the examples at the heart of your argument? Animal cruelty is a misdemeanor, and if you have a prosecutor in a small ofﬁce with small staff and little money, they’re not going to prosecute animal cruelty compared to, let’s say, a meth case. What we want to do is on the third conviction of a misdemeanor, that would become a felony. How many signatures do you need? [We need] 47,432. That’s 6 percent of the Idaho vote in 2010. We’re shooting for 60,000 to make sure we have a cushion. What is your deadline? Next April 30 to get on the November 2012 ballot. That doesn’t make your task any less daunting. We have groups in every corner of the state working on this. The best news of all is that the Idaho Humane Society came on board to support our effort. They have over 10,000 members.

JER EM Y LANNINGHAM

Virginia Hemingway is tired of dealing with Idaho politicians. In 2009, her organization Stop Torturing Our Pets helped write a bill pushing for stricter cruelty laws, but the measure died in an Idaho House committee. In 2010 as STOP’s president, she worked on a revised bill that passed overwhelmingly (341) in the Idaho Senate but was killed again in the House. This year, the group has decided to put the issue to voters by securing enough signatures to place an animal cruelty initiative on the November 2012 ballot. Additionally, STOP has folded into another organization, Idaho 1 of 3. Hemingway said her new group touts the fact that Idaho is one of only three states that don’t consider the repeated torture of animals a felony.

As part of your initiative, you’re looking to increase fines. A misdemeanor would increase from $100 up to $400 for the first offense, and the second offense would increase to $600. A third animal cruelty conviction in a 15-year period would be a felony punishable by six months to three years in prison and a fine up to $9,000. In an agriculture-driven state, you must be prepared for pushback. But this gives a sheriff or prosecutor a lot more leverage. Imagine them talking to a violator who has been charged with two misdemeanors. They can say, “If we have to come out here again, this could be a felony and you could go to prison.” We’re not talking about people who have a dog tied up in the back yard who have forgotten to fill the water bowl. We’re after repeat offenders who torture animals. Is there a political divide on this issue? This shouldn’t be a partisan issue, but for some reason in Idaho, it is. That has nothing to do with liberalism. This is about Idaho people protecting Idaho animals, period. Why did you feel you had to change your organization’s name? Idaho 1 of 3. Idaho is one of only three states without a felony for animal torture. The other two are North Dakota and South Dakota. It’s embarrassing. It’s shameful.

HEALING THE WORLD HOW OBAMA’S AMBITIOUS GLOBAL HEALTH INITIATIVE HAS STRUGGLED TO FIND ITS WAY | JOHN DONNELLY, GLOBAL POST

WASHINGTON—Two years ago the White House announced the Global Health Initiative—President Barack Obama’s new blueprint for how U.S. aid can improve international health care and save lives in the developing world. Back in the spring of the new president’s first year in office few were surprised that Obama, a strong supporter of the fight against AIDS as a United States senator, would launch such a bold and well-intentioned plan to bolster global health. After all, his predecessor, President George W. Bush, had made a global fight against AIDS his signature humanitarian act—in a presidency largely defined by the attacks of Sept. 11 and the two wars that followed—Obama’s plan was to go many steps further: The Global Health Initiative was designed to efficiently expand narrowly defined fights against AIDS and malaria so that U.S.-funded programs could have a much greater impact. But few expected what would come next: almost no action. Over the next 18 months, the administration released few details about the program, sending out officials who showed the same power point slides and the same messages over and over. Some audience members said they had memorized parts of the presentations. Behind the scenes, senior officials fought turf wars. Dozens of health experts wrote white papers. Amid the maze of cubicles inside USAID and the State Department, bureaucrats held meetings by the score. It took more than a year for the heads of three responsible U.S. government bodies—the Office of the Global AIDS Coordinator, the U.S. Agency for International Development and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention—to travel together to the field to see firsthand U.S. global health programs and to begin to explain to curious foreign service officers and

health experts what the GHI was all about. Now two years after Obama announced the creation of the GHI, little success can be shown and the ambitious undertaking may take several years more to fully get off the ground, if ever, because it has run into one of the most difficult budgetary climates in Washington, D.C., in decades. Some analysts believe that Obama’s vision for a $63 billion, six-year program that would take all U.S. global health programs and make them work together to improve health systems in the developing world now will receive billions of dollars less than anticipated by 2015. GHI’s stumbling start has become a signature disappointment in the global health community, an example of this administration’s well-intentioned but often slow and deliberative style, and its failure to build bipartisan consensus in Washington, D.C., particularly around issues that touch the political third rail of “reproductive rights” for women. As some critics point out, Obama’s GHI and Bush’s policy, the President’s Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief, known by its acronym PEPFAR, make for a stark comparison of differing styles of leadership. Based on interviews with more than two dozen people, including senior U.S. officials in Washington, D.C., and in countries around the world, concerns about the GHI’s current predicament begin with the length of time it took for the Obama administration to start putting together the program. “There were probably hundreds of people, working thousands of hours, writing white papers for GHI,” said one senior U.S. official involved in the effort, speaking on condition of anonymity. “People in the field grew very impatient. It took more than a year after the announcement before they went into the field to talk to people.”

DOM INIC C HAVEZ / GLOB AL POS T

Solomon Zewdu M.D., the country director of Ethiopia for Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, listens to a nurse in the children’s ward at Black Lion Hospital in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on April 5.

The GHI was designed to take a bunch of unconnected U.S. health programs that focused on AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis and immunizations, among others, and to weave together the programs so that a family in, say, Rwanda, wouldn’t go to a U.S.-funded clinic that only served AIDS patients but instead would go to a clinic that provided a whole range of services that included AIDS treatment and prevention. The GHI aimed to find savings by combining stand-alone programs that fought one disease. It also put a gender lens on all programs, making sure that programs found ways to address the health issues of women and girls. But from the start, the GHI was difficult to define. What was it? What wasn’t it? The architects of the GHI acknowledged that the process took time and several said that they needed to think through the consequences of redrawing a whole new global health approach. The old way of doing things, they argued, may have led to quick results against a disease but it was an inefficient and piecemeal approach to health care. “When approaching each of those diseases separately, we were creating some challenges as well, because we were so fragmented in our approach [before GHI],” said Amie Batson, USAID’s deputy assistant administrator for global health. Batson said that the GHI will show that not only is “treat the patient, the woman, more holistically is better [but] it’s also cheaper.” But there were three major hurdles from the start in trying to build a new architecture for U.S. global health programs. One was that the money tilts heavily toward the AIDS fight—roughly 70 percent of all global health funding. The AIDS money has lots of Congressionally mandated conditions that prevented spending for uses outside HIV programs. The second was that the GHI had three chiefs—as opposed to the Bush’s PEPFAR AIDS plan that had one office, one ambassador and a president’s marching orders to plow through red tape. The three chiefs—the heads of PEPFAR, USAID and CDC—had designs on the funding as well, said several U.S. officials who were directly involved in the early GHI negotiations. Dr. Eric Goosby, the U.S. global AIDS ambassador appointed by Obama, did not want to relinquish control over his budget, and several U.S. officials

said in interviews that the political infighting between Goosby’s office and USAID Administrator Rajiv Shah grew particularly intense at times in the 18 months after Obama’s announcement of the GHI. Even the outcome of those talks was problematic. Goosby’s office retains control of that 70 percent—at least for now—and while PEPFAR officials are actively looking for ways to expand AIDS programs for other services, different Washington bosses oversee different pots of money. The third issue was that during the long buildup for the GHI, few administration officials reached out to Congress to keep it informed and build support. The result, according to many observers, was that the bipartisan goodwill built toward the AIDS program began to wither and the support for the GHI has yet to take hold. “I have not seen anything mishandled as much as GHI—they never defined it for Congress and many now see it as a program that sucks money off other things, including the AIDS program,” said Shepherd Smith, co-founder and president of the Washington, D.C.-based Institute for Youth Development, an AIDS program implementer, who was a critical player in helping win Republican support for PEPFAR. “I think this administration has largely killed the enthusiasm for PEPFAR, or for bipartisan support for global health.” Not everyone is so pessimistic. Other critics of the administration’s handling of the GHI believe it’s still possible for the Obama administration to build a new coalition for global health. They argue that such funding brings the best return of any item in the federal budget: Tens of thousands of lives saved daily, through AIDS drugs or vaccinations or the training of birth attendants in the poorest countries of the world, all for a relatively small sum of money. Federal aid, in total, is 1 percent of the U.S. budget. Dr. Mark Dybul, the former U.S. global AIDS ambassador under the Bush administration, said the administration needs to reach out in a much more effective way to Republicans on the GHI, especially the social conservatives, or the Christian right. The flash point here involves women’s reproductive rights, and family planning, which is a cornerstone of the GHI effort. Just the words “reproductive rights” translates into abortion for many social conservatives, WWW. B O I S E WE E KLY. C O M

and Dybul and others said that the Obama administration needs to tread with care and common sense. “We need to make sure there’s voluntary family planning available for women who want it, but we can’t alienate people who have ... problems with that,” Dybul said. “This is an issue of administrative leadership and management and listening to people.” Despite his criticism of the leadership on the GHI, Dybul is a strong supporter of its goals and its strategy for delivering health care. Dybul said that the restrictions placed around PEPFAR were at times counterproductive in trying to deliver life-saving health care in the developing world. He particularly wants to see the U.S. government scale up efforts to protect the lives of women during childbirth. An estimated 350,000 women die each year during childbirth—nearly 1,000 a day. “What GHI is trying to do on this is extraordinary, and we’re so glad they’re able to do it, because we tried and it didn’t work,” Dybul said. “In Ethiopia, I remember the first time I went to a beautiful, pristine, (prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission) clinic. They were perfectly well-trained, it was well-staffed, there was a great lab. But then you walk through the doors and you’re in a maternity ward that’s a disaster. For a tiny amount of money you can expand that to have one site that’s a maternal-neonatal health clinic that will improve the lives of women and children. I can’t tell you how hard we tried to get our colleagues to use incremental amounts of money to do that. It was impossible.” Congress is in a far different place today than it was in 2003, at the start of PEPFAR. Mark Green, a former Republican U.S. House member from Wisconsin and the U.S. ambassador to Tanzania from 2007 to 2009, pointed out in a Washington, D.C., briefing that of the 100 U.S. senators who voted for PEPFAR, only 52 are now in office. Of the 435 members of the House, just 225 are in. And drilling deeper, of the 19 members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee who helped craft the PEPFAR legislation, only three serve today. “With these elections we’ve turned around and suddenly seen the giants, if you will, the legislative giants of global health have left the stage,” Green said. “And so I think really what we have to do is go back WWW. B OISEWEEKLY.C O M

to basics.” Rep. Keith Ellison, a Minnesota Democrat, agreed and said that the questions asked today in Congress are different from the ones asked eight years ago. “I think the thing that both sides want to know is, is the dollar spent well? No one should be afraid of scrutiny, and everyone should be able to prove value associated with the American tax dollar,” he said. “I think the important challenge is to encourage people to look program by program for savings, for real value and for impact.” That’s a key challenge today for the GHI: Can it show savings and impact soon, even though programs are just being rolled out in countries? Dr. Ezekiel J. “Zeke” Emanuel, a former senior global health adviser in the White House and head of the Department of Bioethics at The Clinical Center of the National Institutes of Health, said in an interview that successes have already begun—if on a small scale. “Look at the neglected tropical disease area. From 2003 to 2008, this collection of seven diseases, which affect 1 billion people around the world, the poorest billion, the U.S. government cumulatively spent $45 million,” Emanuel said. Last year, he said the funding went to $65 million, and the administration brought together a number of drug companies to talk about these neglected diseases and three of the companies increased their donations of drugs. “That’s a big success,” he said. “There are going to be millions of kids treated and de-wormed, who won’t have schistosomiasis, who won’t have river blindness, because we had made this a big focus. It wouldn’t have happened without GHI.” Emanuel said he knows that funding for GHI won’t come so easily, but he remains optimistic. “You get more improvement for good for what we spend on global health than for anything else in the budget,” he said. “Nonetheless, if we are going to have a tough budget environment, it puts a burden on us, on the global health community, to do more with the resources we have.” This report is part of a series from Global Post. Funding for the project is provided by the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation.

A few factors made the decision to move across the country a very easy one. “I had a friend from Boise who moved out there, and

CABLE ONE MOVIE NIGHT: KARATE KID You may have already had your fill of inflatables for the summer—with all those plastic kiddie pools, blow-up pool toys, moon bounces and patriotic-themed balloons. Not to mention the light-headed, stinging-cheek sensation that comes from blowing up everything with your personal air supply. So it’s understandable that a giant, inflatable movie screen might elicit horror and cries for mercy from some, but not to fear. Not only is this inflatable screen already inflated, all you have to do to enjoy it is haul out the lawn chairs, pack some snackies and show up to Meridian Settlers Park with a gaggle of your family and friends. Every Friday night this summer, Meridian Parks and Rec is hosting Cable One Movie Night, a free, family friendly movie event. This Friday, Ultimate Jiu-Jitsu of Meridian is appropriately sponsoring a screening of The Karate Kid (2010). All movies start at dusk and are free to anyone looking to revisit some of those PG faves and have some fun in the park after dark. Dusk, FREE.

I really needed to get out of Boise,” Melbrough said. “I couldn’t grow. And I was one of the few black kids, so everybody knew who I was.” What D.C. offered him was community, culture and a place with more opportunities to hone and practice his comedy. But Melbrough still likes to bring the funny home, and this is the second year he has done his Generation Me Comedy Tour in Boise. He’ll be joined by Boise-based funny men Ryan Noack and Heath Harmison, who were part of Melbrough’s inaugural tour last year, and host Olek Szewczyk who is new to the lineup.

SNAKE RIVER STAMPEDE

TWILIGHT CRITERIUM It’s time to brave the July heat, mosey on downtown and snag some strategic sidewalk space for one of Boise’s most anticipated summer events. On Saturday, July 16, the 25th annual Twilight Criterium is invading the streets of downtown Boise with a spectacle that is best described as furiously fun, fast and full of lycra. This speed-demon race ﬁrst hit the pavement of Boise in 1987, in an effort to gain more popularity for the sport of road biking. Obviously, it worked. Now, 25 years later, Boise’s criterium has acquired the reputation as one of the best crits on the USA Cycling racing calendar, attracting world-class cyclists to compete for cash, merchandise and major bragging rights … plus the attention of upward of 20,000 fans. The course is a 1K rectangular loop that begins and ends on the corner of Ninth and Main streets in front of the Wells Fargo building, and continues south on Ninth Street, west on Grove Street, north on 10th Street and east on Bannock Street. The riding kicks off with a children’s ride for kids ages 5-10 with hometown Olympic gold medalist Kristin Armstrong (who will also be signing autographs) at 2:30 p.m. The Men’s Cat 4/5 begins at 3:15 p.m., followed by the Women’s Race at 4 p.m. Ofﬁcial opening ceremonies start at 7 p.m. and the Men’s Pro race is at 8:30 p.m. The awards ceremony will be held at 10 p.m. to cap off the night and dole out some hardearned cash and prizes.

NOISE/CD REVIEW LOVERS: DARK LIGHT Portland-based trio Lovers have the stripped-down indie electronica sound perfected. Their new album Dark Light (Badman Records) opens with “Every time the music starts / I can feel my aching, shaking heart.” That sentiment follows the album throughout, and passionate themes of love, complex relationships and heartfelt pain can be heard in every track of the 10-song LP. Some electronica purists revel in a lack of emotion, but Lovers’ singer Carolyn Berk brings emotion to electronica in ways we haven’t heard since The Postal Service. Her sultry voice combines beautifully with bandmate Kerby Ferris’ icy and dark synth lines and percussionist Emily Kingan’s rhythms, leaving a pleasant pop aftertaste. It’s a combination that allows the album to be in the car for weeks without realizing how many times it has played and is what gives Dark Light the electronica feel without the electronica fluff: stripped-down, bare-bones synth filled with beautiful harmonies. Dark Light works well as background sound because it is certainly not a think piece. The lyrics are simple, easy to understand and repetitive. The album isn’t intellectually taxing but does what music should do: It keeps a listener listening if not necessarily engaged. It’s a mood setter that you won’t want to turn off but that doesn’t demand attention. That, and the way that songs flow into each other seamlessly makes Dark Light, in spite of its name, perfect for a summer playlist. The popsynth-driven melodies fit with rising temperatures and extended evenings and would be a great soundtrack for lying under the stars or chilling out on the couch with a book. Tracks like “Don’t You Want It” are quintessential songs about sadness. The beats, tone and a cynical sound from Berk put the song on par with the mopiest of musings as she sings: “The house is quiet since you left. / And all the corners are unswept. / I make alliances with the appliances, I try to get them to talk to me.” “Peppermint” sounds like a level from the Sonic The Hedgehog game. It’s dark, almost trancey as the sound bounces between left and right channels, pulsing until Berk’s vocals come in: “We’re going to be waiting for a long time / but it’ll be worth it when we find what we find.” The band returns to the Pacific Northwest after their countrywide tour, and you can see them in Seattle on Saturday, July 23, or Portland on Sunday, Aug. 14. —Brady Moore WWW.

NOISE

DOWN AND DIRTY Dirty Mittens release debut, Heart of Town TARA MORGAN Dirty Mittens is old school. And not just because of its doo-wop-pop sound or lead singer Chelsea Morrisey’s Jackson 5-esque vocals. The band has been shaking ass and taking names along the Portland, Ore., indie circuit for five years—with catchy, sax-tinged tunes and Morrisey’s big-things-come-in-little-packages falsetto—all without releasing an album. Until now. Heart of Town, the band’s debut full-length, just came out on Magic Marker Records. The album’s 12 tracks were recorded over two years—some parts in an abandoned Masonic temple—by Mississippi Studios founder Jim Brunberg. With luminous guests like Laura Gibson and Steve Berlin of Los Lobos, Heart of Town is poised to steal hearts both inside and out of the group’s hometown. Boise Weekly: You guys are releasing your first album … How does that feel? Chelsea Morrisey: It feels awesome. It’s been a really long time coming. We’ve been recording this record for almost two years. These are some of the first songs that we ever wrote, and we’ve been a band for five years … It’s an archive of where we’ve come and where we’re headed.

Dirty Mittens ﬁnally takes the gloves off and releases debut full-length.

Speaking of your live show, what’s your philosophy behind performing? You deﬁnitely aren’t just phoning it in. I think I’ve become a better performer without having any recorded material … I have 45 minutes to make sure these people remember me because I’m not going to send them home with anything … I think all my hard work comes down to those very short sets in every city. My idols are people like Robyn and Bjork and Sharon Jones. Those people don’t miss a beat … I think they understand exactly how valuable it is to maximize people’s attention.

You guys were just looking for a new drumTell me a little about the recording process mer. Has there been a fluctuation of members and why it took so long. throughout the five years? We’ve always done everything ourselves, We’ve had a rotating cast and nothing but apart from Magic Marker stepping in now once the record was completed … we’ve never good blood. But we’re a complete, full-time band. So it gets hard for people to commit to really had any support, financially. So when tours … We’re still looking for a permanent the producer stepped in to do the record and drummer. Drummers, good ones, are hard to was like, “Hey, I’ll do this for free, but it’s got come by. Our music is versatile enough where to be in my spare time” … we just made it we can’t just pull in any punk drummer. We work the best we could. have dance beats and floor-tom beats and punk In the meantime we improvised … we beats. We’ve always been lucky to have great worked on our live show and we made sure drummers, but we need someone who’s great people remembered us that way.

health insurance … It was definitely a leap. Back to the album. You guys recorded part of it in an abandoned Masonic temple? It’s just a great space … It makes you feel like you’re doing something hidden from the world that you can’t wait to share … it’s a little more exciting than a conventional studio padded room. What do you feel like that space particularly added to the sound of the album? Just the natural reverb. We did almost all of our live tracking there … When I was singing in that room, I sounded like a 500-pound black woman. Speaking of the 500-pound black woman vocals, what’s your singing background? I don’t really have any. I sang a bunch as a kid. In all honesty, I went to college and I smoked a ton of cigarettes and by the time I moved to Portland my voice was shot. It took me probably four years of singing to generally feel confident. When I first started, my voice was really shaky and there was no power behind it. I’ve [sung] straight for five years. It’s still growing. I still have a long way to go. It’s just like any skill or any instrument. Do you feel like the Portland music community has been pretty supportive of you guys? Yeah, they have. I think more so than you realize on the day-to-day. You kind of take it for granted because with so many bands, it can be a little competitive for artists … And then there are moments where all of the Starfucker guys will be at one of our shows … I think ultimately everyone has been really supportive. What’s on the horizon? Just a lot of touring … We’re going to try to put out a new EP immediately, because this record did take a while. We have a bunch of new material we want to get out there. WWW.

ROCKSTAR MAYHEM FESTIVAL, JULY 13, IDAHO CENTER Calling something the Rockstar Mayhem Festival pretty much means that even if no other information is available, people will know that craziness is on tap. And they would be right. This year’s RMF brings with it a melange of hard rock and heavy metal from the likes of old-school monsters Disturbed, Godsmack and Megadeth. They’ll be joined by Machine Head, In Flames, Trivium, Suicide Silence, All Shall Perish, Unearth, Kingdom Of Sorrow, Red Fang and Straight Line Stitch. RMF will happen come rain or shine, which means a full day of head-banging bassists, growling/screaming vocalists and enough speedy guitar riffs and drum solos to keep eardrums ringing for days. Be sure to check out two of the acts that are a little different this year: female-fronted Straight Line Stitch and stoner rockers Red Fang.

THE DECEMBERISTS, JULY 20, IDAHO BOTANICAL GARDEN When buying a house, location makes all the difference. Sometimes it matters at a concert, too. Idaho Botanical Garden may be the perfect setting for Portland, Ore.-based The Decemberists. Imagine Colin Meloy’s slight vibrato carrying across the ﬂower-fragrant, sun-drenched Outlaw Field. Picture the heady opening harmonica of “This Is Why We Fight” off 2011’s release, The King Is Dead (Capitol), joining the breeze—if there is one. (Portland’s Typhoon opens the show, so if the air is too still, maybe they can help.) The Paciﬁc Northwest quintet is well known for their layered indie rock/pop that often explores historical themes in a way that it feels like storytime around the radio. But band member Jenny Conlee has found another kind of fame. In the IFC channel’s series Portlandia, Conlee played Sparklepony, a downtrodden musician trying to get a gig. —Amy Atkins With Typhoon. 6 p.m., $25 members, $30 nonmembers. IBG, 2355 N.

THE WAY OF THE WICKET The rivers runneth over too far for the inaugural whitewater festival.

McCall croquet court has grown quiet DANIEL CLAUSEN

COMPETITION TIME We do love whitewater in Idaho, and it’s too bad the opportunities to take advantage of it have been limited so far this summer because of high water. Even operations at the Barber Park put-in for the popular float of the Boise River have yet to open because flows are nearly three times higher than the safe floating level of 1,500 cfs. Unfortunately, that means the organizers of a new festival celebrating Idaho’s whitewater—the Boise White Water Festival— are scrambling. Events previously scheduled for Saturday, July 16, have been canceled, including the Boise River race from Barber Park to Ann Morrison Park, as well as a concert and beer garden. The good news is that events scheduled for Sunday, July 17, are moving forward, with just one slight modification: The U.S. Boater Cross Association Payette River Boater Cross Race will be held at the Banks put-in on the North Fork of the Payette. Registration begins at 9 a.m., with standup paddle boards starting at 10 a.m. The expert boater cross category—limited to Class V paddlers only—takes off at noon. High water levels on the Payette have forced another change as well—the standup paddle board course will run to Bikini Beach, while rafters will race to Bee Hive, rather than the railroad bridge. Awards will follow the race, and the Jackson kayak raffle that had been scheduled for Saturday will also be moved to Sunday. Registration is $25 for the boater cross race. Racers can register in advance online or pay an extra $5 to register the day of the race. For more info or to register to race, visit paddleboise.com. The competition will be just as exciting at the Special Olympics Idaho State Summer Games. Special Olympians from across the state will gather for opening ceremonies beginning at 7 p.m. on Friday, July 15, at Hawks Memorial Stadium. Athletic competitions will begin on Saturday, July 16, at locations across the valley, with closing ceremonies later that night. Competitors will take part in a variety of events, including swimming, basketball, track, powerlifting and cycling. All events are free and the public is welcome to attend and support the competitors. But if you want to do more than cheer, volunteers are still needed to help out.

Around the corner on a certain dirt road in the woods near McCall, there waits a sight that is hard to believe: a perfectly level, felt-green croquet court. It is immediately evident that this lawn isn’t for your backyard barbecue variety croquet. The court is bordered by granite glacial erratics and covered in manicured, quarter-inch Kentucky bluegrass, trim as a golf green. Sturdy, inch-thick wickets stand like tiny triumphal arches—they’re only oneeighth of an inch wider than the balls. Most impressively, the whole thing is an 85-foot by 105-foot laser-level rectangle carved into the forested hillside by Xandy (pronounced Sandy) Carter, founder and proprietor of the McCall Croquet Club. “I had some land and I loved croquet, so I got a bulldozer and got to work,” Carter said with a smile. The number of people who play the sport both locally and nationally are few, and the number of people who play the sport seriously and not just socially are even fewer. Perhaps 30 people occupy the top ranks nationally. And the McCall Croquet Club doesn’t advertise much. The only way anyone is likely to hear Stuart warned and promptly gained one about it is by word of mouth. The bigger himself, using the extra strokes earned by a surprise is that this court is the only nation“roquet”—knocking your ball into another ally recognized croquet court in Idaho and accessing it requires a four-wheel drive into the ball—to leapfrog across the court. He carefully lined up his shots, hit the balls with finesse forest. But any game with followers willing to and let them come to a stop only feet from the do that to play is worth a shot. Richard Stuart certainly agrees. He has been wicket, one on each side. He was then able to make it through two wickets in one turn. playing New American Six Wicket Croquet Carter knows the history of croquet as since 2000, which is roughly when the McCall well as how to play.

He was laid-back and at hit or the other, will travel farther. “What you can’t have is for your opponent ease, and even though he was coping with the effects of a recent stroke, he cracked jokes to get a four-ball break. That is just suicide,”

and told stories about the tournaments held at his court. “The croquet scene is pretty small, really,” Carter said. “[The players are] mostly older people with time to travel. You know, we have a nationally competitive fellow in McCall and an ex-champion living in Boise.” Men and women play together, and the club welcomes serious new players. They are a reclusive bunch, though, and anyone wishing to contact the McCall club is asked to do so through the U.S. Croquet Association at croquetamerica.com. “We used to start out with bloody marys and the ﬁrst match about 9 in the morning. We would roast a pig and things would wrap up with the championship about 4 [in the afternoon],” Stuart said. “Then we had a feast and drinks.” From about 40 people back then, the McCall Club’s membership has dwindled to just two or three aﬁcionados. While the legendary tournaments may be over, a monumental trophy still sits in Carter’s home. And for those two or three people who still play, having a croquet green nearby helps keep them both mentally and physically alert. “Most people think of croquet as something to do while the burgers cook,” Stuart said. “But the real game has more analogies to the strategy of chess, the physics of billiards and the coordination of golf.” WWW.

Get the scoop on The Press.

THE PRESS OPENS; CHRONIC TACOS CLOSES Piazza di Vino’s red velour and low lights are long gone. The Ninth Street nook is now occupied by a new bar/cafe: The Press. Opened by husband-and-wife duo Melissa and David Schafer on July 2, The Press has a simple, airy cafe vibe. “What we’d like to portray is that we’re a public house. Basically it’s a place where people can come, relax, have good food, good drinks. Ever ybody’s welcome,” said Melissa. Though the Schafers are still undecided on when they’ll have an official grandopening celebration, they’re currently open for business Monday through Saturday from 4-11 p.m. They have a selection of beers—including Brother David’s Abbey Ale and Franziskaner Weissbier—and wines by the glass and bottle. They also have a small menu featuring a cheese board, bleu cheese-covered kettle chips, a margherita pizza and paninis. “Where ‘The Press’ derived its name from is the panini press. We’re going to have a lot of panini sandwiches,” said Melissa. For more information on The Press, stop in at 212 N. Ninth St. or call 208-336-9577. Chronic Tacos—the franchise Cal-Mex taco and burrito joint (nudge nudge)— closed its doors suddenly on July 1. Clay Carley, general manager at Old Boise, which owns the Pioneer Tent Building property where Chronic Tacos was located, said the restaurant had been struggling for a while. “They had closed their Meridian store two months earlier,” said Carley. “They just couldn’t make it in this market.” An employee at Jenny’s Lunch Line, the cafe adjacent to the former Chronic Tacos space, said she hadn’t heard anything about the closure but noticed that the business was shut down all weekend. Though Carley also learned about the restaurant’s closure on July 1, he wasn’t completely blindsided. “I watched their business, and I wasn’t totally surprised,” said Carley. Calls to Chronic Tacos HQ in California were not returned. When one door closes, another opens.

These mouthwatering mycological masterpieces are out there, you just need to know what to look for.

LEARNING MOREL ABOUT MUSHROOMS Chris Florence teaches the art of foraging for fungus GUY HAND Many cultures, including our own, once considered hunting mushrooms aberrant behavior. They are, after all, a sometimes filthy and occasionally deadly fungus. William Delisle Hay, a 19th Century British mycologist, wrote that a mushroom hunter was often “regarded as a sort of idiot among the lower orders. No fad or hobby is esteemed so contemptible as that of the ‘fungus-hunter’ or ‘toadstool-eater.’” Undeterred by Victorian-era opinion is Chris Florence, owner of Sweet Valley Organics in Sweet. Florence is a commercial mushroom forager, mushroom advocate, farmer and vendor at Capital City Public Market. Recently he led a half dozen chefs and restaurant types on a search for morels and other edible mushrooms in the mountains north of Boise. “You want to go really slow,” Florence whispered, as if not to scare the mushrooms. “You’ll walk past 100 before you see them.” A fellow fungus-hunter whispered back. “Are they usually hiding under brush?” he asked as we trailed Florence through the pines. Florence simply nodded while keeping his eyes fixed to the ground. Suddenly, Florence stopped. “All right,” he said in a full-on outdoor voice that suggested that once the mushrooms are spotted, they’re no longer capable of running away. “I can see some morels now. I’m going to let you guys find them.” Cameron Lumsden, owner of Boise’s Fork Restaurant, squinted as he kneeled down for a snake-level view of something hiding in the shadows. “Is that one?” he asked, pointing. “Yep,” Florence said with a smile. “First mushroom of the day.” He stepped back to give the others more

room to scan the cones and needles on the ground for more morels. In the 21st century, no wild mushroom is more popular to forage for than the morel. That’s certainly true in Idaho. An easily identified, delicious mushroom that grows in nearly every state, it’s considered a gateway mushroom. In his book, Chanterelle Dreams, Amanita Nightmares, Greg A. Marley wrote, “The morel has become the most widely collected and consumed wild mushroom in America, and because it draws such broad appeal from people in all walks of life, it may represent a change agent, a harbinger of a broader acceptance of wild mushrooms in the United States.” That’s what Florence hopes. He was first mesmerized by mushrooms as a chef in Northern California. “I just would get these beautiful mushrooms coming into the restaurant,” he said of his days as chef in places like the Palo Alto branch of Spago. “And I was curious about where they were coming from.” Curious enough, he said, to become a fungus hunter himself. “I started out just hobby picking on the weekends and then I got better at it and got more,” Florence said. “A lot of the chefs that I worked with wanted to have them, so it turned into a business.” After moving back to Idaho and focusing on farming and foraging, Florence saw other area chefs as natural disciples for spreading the mushroom gospel while helping to grow his client base. Hence, this fungal field trip. After wandering off for a while, Wiley Earl, who worked in both New York and Miami Beach as a chef and now works at Fork, walked back to the group with a childlike grin

smeared across his face and several morels cupped in his hands. “I found some really big, beautiful ones,” he said. “It was a little trifecta of morels right around this boulder.” Earl said that in the 16 years he has worked in the food business, he’d never gone mushroom hunting. He took a long, woodsy sniff of those dark, honeycombed morels and laughed. “Wiley Earl’s first morel.” Travis Levi, a chef at Bardenay in Eagle, had already found a few morels and was trying hard to train his eyes to unearth more. “It’s kind of a trick to keep your eye tuned to the ground,” he said absentmindedly, scanning the duff from side to side. “Everything just sort of looks the same after awhile.” His voice trailed off as he raised a finger to his temple in a switch-flipping gesture: “If I could just go bzzzt and get my eyes tuned.” It’s hard to train your eyes to see an organism that, by nature, lies mostly unseen. The ephemeral, shadowy world of mushrooms cloaks them, as history shows, in an aura of both menace and magic. Some mushrooms glow in the dark or form enchantingly circular “fairy rings.” Others are fatal or purportedly help devotees see God. Nearly all produce an underground network of thread-like mycelia— sometimes miles long—that continually snake and coil, sucking up and secreting nutrients just under foot. The fruiting bodies—in this case the morels these chefs were picking—are the rare above-ground sexual expression of an organism that might weigh tons and spread its gossamer tentacles across acres. But that mushroom underworld wasn’t what Matt Fuxan of Red 31 Feather and Bittercreek restaurants WWW. B O I S E WE E KLY. C O M

SAISON-STYLE BREWS Belgian saisons were originally brewed as light alcohol ales designed to quench the thirst of summer farm workers. As with all things creative, the style has morphed, and now saisons for all seasons can be found, while the level of alcohol can vary widely. The one quality most share, no matter where they’re brewed, is a pleasantly refreshing bit of sourness at the center. FANTOME BREWING HIVER SAISON This Belgian entry, sealed with both a cork and a crown cap, is meant to be a winter offering, but it works surprisingly well in the heat. It pours a hazy gold with a nice white froth that holds well, and offers up floral, fresh-grass aromas with subtle pear and orange zest. Yeasty citrus with a distinct tang melds nicely with the smooth malt, mango, subtle hops and spice. It’s deceptively easy drinking, but at 8 percent alcohol, use caution. GRAND TETON BREWING GRAND SAISON FARMHOUSE ALE A part of this Victor brewery’s Cellar Reserve lineup, this is a unique take on the style. The thinnest of heads tops the amber-colored ale. It has a surprisingly assertive hop profile on the nose that complements the spicy lemon aromas. The palate is filled with smooth fruit flavors (apricot, pear, orange, lime) and touches of spice. The requisite sour note is a bit subtle, but overall this is a refreshing summer brew. SIERRA NEVADA OVILA SAISON Brewed in collaboration with the California Abbey of New Clairvaux, it’s slightly cloudy and orange in color with a thick head that boasts good persistence and tight lacing. The aromas are a sweet and sour mix of orange, lemon and herb. A nice core of sour citrus is surrounded by soft malt and spice, with a touch of hops adding a little bite to the finish. This is a lovely and lively entry. —David Kirkpatrick

was concerned with when I crossed his path a little later. “How are you doing, Matt?” I asked “I’m doing ...” he began with the same distracted, body-snatched voice and ground-scanning manner that everyone seemed to have been infected with. “I got a few,” he continued. “A few morels and one cauliﬂower-looking one that’s edible, too.” He pushed his basket my way while looking in the opposite direction. “Oops,” he suddenly said, then twitched to the right. “There’s one. One there, too.” He kept twitching. “Oh, like four.” After dropping to the duff, hungrily cutting his prey off at ground level and putting them with his others, Fuxan focused his eyes on me. “This is exactly why this is an important experience to have,” Fuxan said. “Foraging and actually learning how mushrooms grow and what’s edible and what’s not, that to me is really important to understanding our food system. Having that opportunity, especially where we live, is just huge.” Fuxan looked straight up through ﬁr trees that seemed to converge in a quiet epiphany. “It’s huge for me,” he said. In those static seconds before he went back to the hunt, Fuxan, like the others, had been turned. They had, as Florence hoped, been mesmerized by morels. They all vowed to put more mushrooms on their menus and therefore became, in the brief span of a morning, what their 19th century ancestors would have feared were “idiots among the lower order.” What their Victorianera, mycophobic kin couldn’t have known was just how stunning those mushrooms were going to taste—sauteed with a little butter, garlic, shallot and a good shake of salt and pepper—when the group sat down later for a campstove lunch. 30

BW KICKS MEMORY BANDIT Someone broke into my apartment as I was moving and took all of my jewelry. I am not a wealthy person and the items I had were valuable because of who gave them to me. My class ring that was a graduation gift, the ruby I got instead of a car for my 16th birthday, my mother’s ring that represents the love of my 4 children. I cannot replace these items, even if I had the money. I hope you sleep well at night knowing what you’ve done. And why did you take the mannequin? Really, now I can’t supplement my income from my job. Something you don’t seem to understand...you want something, you work for it. You haven’t stopped me, but you have caused me to pause. I’m glad I’m not you. YARD SALE SALE HERE! Call Boise Weekly to advertise your Yard Sale. 4 lines of text and a free Yard Sale kit for an unbeatable price of $20.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): In the coming days, you have permission from the universe to dwell less on what needs to be resisted and overcome. Instead, you have license to concentrate on what deserves to be fostered and invited in. Sound like fun? It will be if you can do it, but it may not be as easy to accomplish as it sounds. There are many influences that are tempting you to draw your energy from kneejerk oppositionalism and cynical naysaying. So in order to take full advantage of what life is offering, you will have to figure out how to rebel in a spirit of joy and celebration. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Dreams are today’s answers to tomorrow’s questions,” said the seer Edgar Cayce. That’s your thought for the week, Taurus. Not just in dreams, but in your waking life as well, you will be experiencing insights, hearing stories and getting messages that provide useful information for the crucial questions you have not yet framed, let alone posed. I hope that by telling you this I will expedite your work on formulating those pertinent questions. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “The most important thing in acting is honesty,” said Hollywood actor George Burns. “If you can fake that, you’ve got it made.” The same thing is true about life in the coming weeks, Gemini. The more you dispense the raw truth—even if you have to push yourself to do it—the more successful you’ll be. Being a fount of radical authenticity might feel like a performance at first, but it’ll eventually get easier. CANCER (June 21-July 22): The great-grandson of a slave, Cancerian Thurgood Marshall (1908-1993), was America’s first African-American Supreme Court justice. According to Thurgood, a play about his life that appeared on HBO, his unruly behavior as a school kid played a role in launching him toward his vocation. As punishment for his bad behavior, his teacher exiled him to a storage room, where he was instructed to study the U.S. Constitution—a document he would later be called on to interpret during his service on the high court. I foresee a version of this scenario playing out in your immediate future, Cancerian. Mischief could lead to opportunity. Blessings might evolve out of shenanigans. Bending the rules may bring rewards. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Do you mind if I call you The Original Lion Tamer? I know it sounds a bit extravagant but it really fits you right now. More than any other sign of the zodiac, you have the power to control the wild, ferocious forces of the unconscious.

You’re the fluid flowmaster in charge of making the beastly energy behave itself; you’re the dazzling wizard of the dizzy whirling whooshes. Here’s a tip to help you soothe the savage rhythms with maximum aplomb: Mix a dash of harmonious trickery in with your charismatic bravado.

‘Then you just missed a spiritual experience.’” This is a good tip for you to keep in mind in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. It’ll be a time when you could dramatically expedite and intensify your education about spiritual matters by noticing the beauty and holiness in the most mundane things.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You have maybe 10 more days left to locate the healthiest possible gamble for the second half of 2011. I’m referring to a smart risk that will bring out the best in you, expand the hell out of your mind, and inspire you to shed at least 10 percent of your narcissism and 15 percent of your pessimism. Trust your gut as much as your brain, Virgo. It will be important to have them both fully engaged as you make your foray all the way out there to the edge of your understanding.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I’ve got two bits of information for you late bloomers out there, two inspirational messages to quell your worry about how long everything seems to be taking to unfold for you. First comes this fact: While some oak trees begin growing acorns after two decades, many don’t produce a single acorn until they’re 40 or even 50 years old. Your second message is from poet Robert Bly: “I know a lot of men who are healthier at age 50 than they’ve ever been before, because a lot of their fear is gone.” Keep the faith, Capricorn—and continue your persistent efforts.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “He got a big ego, such a huge ego,” sings Beyonce in her song “Ego.” “It’s too big, it’s too wide / It’s too strong, it won’t fit / It’s too much, it’s too tough / He talk like this ’cause he can back it up.” I would love to be able to address that same message to you in the coming days, Libra. I’d love to admire and marvel at your big, strong ego. This is one of those rare times when the cosmic powers-that-be are giving you clearance to display your beautiful, glorious self in its full radiance. Extra bragging is most definitely allowed, especially if it’s done with humor and wit. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Dear Rob Brezsny: Please, sir, if you could do me a cost-free favor and tell me something special about my upcoming future, I would be amazingly glad and would spread good will about you everywhere. My age is 34 and I am sharply eager to know in detail about my next five years at least—any big good or bad predictions. Kindly be very specific, no cloudy generalizations. —Fayyaz Umair Aziz, First-Degree Scorpio.” Dear Fayyaz: I’m happy to inform you that your future is not set in stone; you have the power to carve out the destiny you prefer. And it so happens that the next four weeks will be prime time for you Scorpios to formulate a clear master plan (or reformulate your existing one) and take a vow to carry it out with impeccability. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): One of my readers sent me an interesting tale. He said the teacher Rudolf Steiner “once had a devotee who complained that after years of meditating and studying sacred texts, he had not yet had a spiritual experience. Steiner asked him if he’d noticed the face of the conductor on the train on which they were riding. The man said no. Steiner replied,

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Research done by the World Health Organization says Russia has more psychic healers than medical doctors. While licensed physicians number around 640,000, there are 800,000 witches and wizards who use occult means to perform their cures. Personally, I prefer a more balanced ratio. I feel most comfortable when there are equal amounts of officially sanctioned practitioners and supernaturally inspired mavericks. In fact, that’s my guiding principle in pretty much every situation. I want as many unorthodox rebels who mess with the proven formulas as serious professionals who are highly skilled at playing by the rules. That helps keep both sides honest and allows me to avoid being led astray by the excesses and distortions of each. May I recommend a similar approach for you in the coming week? PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “The most frequently leveled criticism of Jimmy Fallon is that he laughs too much.” So begins a New York Magazine profile of the late-night talk show host. “He laughs before jokes, after jokes, during jokes.” He is “TV’s most inveterate cracker-upper.” Cynics point to this as proof that he’s suffering from a character defect. But there is another possibility, says the mag.: “Fallon laughs so much because he’s just having a really good time.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, Pisces, you’re primed to have a Fallon-like week—a period when the fun is so liberating and the play is so cathartic that you’ll be in a chronic state of amusement. In response, people addicted to their gloom and doom might try to shame you. Don’t you dare let them inhibit your rightful relief and release.
