FROM BIKES TO BOOZE In case you didn’t notice, Boise Weekly gets a little drinks-minded around this time of year. Last week it was our first-ever Beer Issue, in which BW roving food writer Tara Morgan sat down with six local brewers to blind-taste six macro-brews (BW, “Good Taste in Bad Beer,” July 2, 2014). This week we’re going against commonsense (“Beer then liquor…”) and profiling a handful of distilleries leading the way in Boise’s burgeoning homegrown whiskey business (Page 11).

With the rise of Idaho microbreweries and continued growth of the state’s wine industry, we think it’s about time that whiskey have its day; but, as Morgan reports, that day may still be a ways in the future.

More sobering is news that Madelynn Taylor—the Navy veteran who has been barred by Idaho’s gay marriage ban from being buried next to her wife in the Idaho State Veterans Cemetery—has filed suit against the state.

Taylor, 74, who legally married her wife in California in 2008, has made several appeals to the Idaho Division of Veterans Services, but been met with the same answer: Idaho doesn’t recognize same-sex unions.

For Taylor, enough is enough. Read our report, from BW News Editor George Prentice, on Page 7.

Elsewhere in this week’s paper you’ll find an update on local psychedelic doom metal band UZALA and the launch of its Northwest tour, and a profile of the upcoming Boise International Market (both starting on Page 14).

On Page 21, read about Prentice’s rediscovery of a film he saw at its premiere at the Toronto International Film Fest—albeit, under a different title. In Food, on Page 24, Morgan gives us a look at Kindness, the new restaurant set to open in the newly renovated Owyhee Plaza, and, on Page 26, frequent freelancer Andrew Mentzer explores the 28-year history of the Twilight Criterium—charting its rise, its financial ups and downs, and the people who have supported it all these years.

From bikes to booze it’s a busy week. Read responsibly.

And speaking of responsibility, a brief mea culpa: In our Q&A with Idaho Beer: From Grain to Glass author Steve Koonce (BW, Food, “Gem State Beer,” July 2, 2014) we incorrectly listed the cost for attending his Saturday, July 19 reading at Rediscovered Books. Tickets are $25.

BILL COPE/OPINION

MUSEUM OF MAKE-BELIEVE Where science ain’t true ’til I says it is!

I want to be one of the first to welcome the proposed creationist museum to Boise. After all, we’re fortunate enough to have an Idaho history museum, an art museum, the Discovery Center—in effect, a museum of applied science—the Nature Center (a museum for fauna and flora freaks), a Basque Museum and a birds of prey museum. So honestly, don’t you think it’s high time our community had a museum for stupid people, too?

In fact, I am offering my services to help get them started. I imagine it must be tough to open a museum dedicated to creationism “science,” what with there being absolutely nothing with which to stock it except for shit they make up. So I would very much like to help them make up more shit. If I don’t mind saying so, I’m pretty good at making shit up, and the least I can do for the stupid people of Boise is to help get this museum up and running as fast as possible, if for no other reason than to open another location at which they can spend their time and money.

You know… instead of having to wait around for the next gun show or monster truck rally.

OK then, to get started, I want to make up something that will counter what that smartypants Neil deGrasse Tyson said about how he can prove the universe wasn’t created 6,000 years ago, like all the stupid people know it was. See, Tyson is one of those “astrophysicists”—whatever the hell that is, right?—and he claims that since light can’t travel any faster than 186,000 miles a second, it means the universe has to be billions of years old because how else could light from stars billions of light-years away have reached Earth?

Get it? He thinks if there has only been 6,000 years of universe, then the light from most of the stars and galaxies we see in the night sky could not have gotten here yet, and we couldn’t even know they are out there.

Yeah, well here’s what the Creationist Museum can tell Mister “Oh-Ain’t-I-So-Smart” Tyson: Those stars and galaxies aren’t nearly as far away as the astro-whatever-ists say they are. They just look like they’re so far off because they’re really a lot smaller than those science people have been telling us. Yeah, see, the sun is the biggest star there is in the whole universe—which is obvious to anyone who doesn’t know better. Think about it… doesn’t it just look bigger?

Of course it does! So God gave us the biggest, bestest star there is anywhere, and all the others that are a little farther out look like pebbles next to it. That’s because they are pebbles next to it. Even smaller than pebbles, some of them. Some of them are so small they look like specks of sand, and it takes one of those big Hubble micro-gizmos to see them, they’re so itsy-bitsy.

There, Mister Neil deGrasse Tyson. Suck on that! Didn’t you ever see Men In Black, you nerd? Remember the teeny galaxy they BOI S EW EEKLY.COM

kept on a cat’s collar. Well, they’re all like that.

OK, another thing I’ve made up is an answer to the question, “How could all of the Earth’s species have found room on the ark?” See, them snotty educated people are always pointing out how there are way too many different kinds of animals to fit on any boat that was made out of “cubits”—which was some kind of tree, I think. Why, they say, there are over a million kinds of beetle alone, so how could two of everything get crammed into one dinky ship?

So when someone like that shows up at the museum, tell them this: See, first, all the littlest bugs—your gnats and fleas and no-see’ems—marched two-by-two into the mouths and down the gullets of the bigger bugs, which marched down the gullets of all the little birdies and salamanders and titmice and gerbils. Then all them little critters marched down the gullets of bigger critters, which marched down the gullets of still bigger critters, and so on and so on.

See how it worked? By the time all that marching down gullets was done, the only animals Noah had to squeeze into the ark were the ones too big to fit into any other animals’ gullet. But each one of them big animals had packed inside them… oh, I’d say, a million other critters. Maybe even 2 million. And then, when Noah parked that ark up on that Mount Arafat, they all came marching out of each others gullets and went their separate ways.

Oh, and if some know-it-all brings up stomach acid, you tell him that stomach acid wasn’t around back then. That’s something Satan thought up later.

OK, that’s all I have room for here. I wanted to make up some shit that would explain how all the plants made it through the Flood—since there’s a lot of them that don’t care much to be submerged in saltwater—or how carbon dating and geologic stratification are things that Satan invented at the same time he came up with stomach acid, but it’ll have to wait.

I did want to mention, though, if those Creationist Museum people were wondering what to put in their displays, I suggest cartoons and dioramas. Cartoons are always good for getting the attention of little kids, and it would work even better if God just happened to bear a striking resemblance to SpongeBob SquarePants, know what I mean?

And picture this for a diorama: Noah saddled up on a big-ass, open-mouthed T-Rex with a tiger coming up out of his throat, with a happy monkey inside the tiger’s mouth, with a guinea pig inside the monkey’s mouth, with a cockroach inside the guinea pig’s mouth, with a lady bug inside the cockroach’s mouth, with an aphid inside the lady bug’s mouth, with a paramecium inside the aphid’s mouth, with a…

OPINION/JOHN REMBER

DON’T TRUST ANYONE OVER 30 Especially if they’re over 80

One of the advantages of growing up during Vietnam was that you could know for certain the old folks were out to get you. It wasn’t just the draft. It wasn’t just hippies getting their hair cut off by high-school football players under the direction of coaches and principals. It wasn’t just sitting in the high school library reading Time Magazine articles about the murder and maiming of civil rights workers, or police attacks on peace marchers in university towns, or people jailed for decades for small amounts of drugs.

I had another reason for thinking the old folks were the enemy. I grew up in Sun Valley, where—even in the ’60s—the movers and shakers of American business vacationed and bought trophy homes. These were people who had given their lives to corporations and careers. If they had become rich as a result, they had also become old. Mortality stared at them from the morning mirror. Put them among the moguls on a ski slope, and it became obvious that being youthfully poor was way better than being agedly rich.

When I was 17, new on the Sun Valley ski patrol, I rode the lifts with old guys who looked at me with barely concealed envy, who asked me about illegal drugs and women and rock ’n’ roll, and who told me, when I said I hoped to stay the hell out of Vietnam, that I would have to go anyway. Vietnam would “make a man” out of me, they said, which would be a good thing. They also said, “You kids have it too easy. When I was young, you couldn’t just go out and sleep with girls. You had to marry them first.”

I didn’t know what to make of these conversations—my illegal drug use had been limited to Coors, and the idea that you could just go out and sleep with girls if you wanted to didn’t fit with any memory of mine. I also had watched as county magistrates forced schoolmates arrested for misdemeanors to choose between the army and jail—the American Legion post in Bellevue, Idaho, is named after one of those kids—and I had decided that becoming a man wasn’t worth it, if the man you became was dead.

I realized Vietnam was something less than the valiant struggle of free peoples against evil communism. It was a generational knife-fight. To put the best possible face on it, it was an attempt by the World War II generation to force their war-forged character onto young men they thought were soft and spoiled. To put the worst face on it, it was the deliberate wrecking of young men by old men who envied their youth, their freedom and their happiness.

At the time, you could stay out of the war if you went to college. I went to college. My student deferment outlasted the draft, and as anyone on the home front will tell you, it

was easy to forget Vietnam if you weren’t worried about going there. I stayed away from peace demonstrations because I viewed anti-war campus radicals as the narcissistic spawn of lawyers, doctors and war profiteers, playing rebel for a few years before taking their places in family firms. I stayed away from recruiting stations, having been told by family members who did go to Vietnam that the war was a stupid and wasteful mistake, at least as seen from the open doors of helicopters.

Years later, Vietnam-era Defense Secretary Robert McNamara’s tearful end-of-life interviews—in which he confessed he’d sent kids into battle knowing that the war was lost—reminded me I had once seen Vietnam as a struggle between young and old. The old had won. Their companies profited, their stock portfolios swelled, their place in the world emerged intact.

But the young had lost. Nobody I know who was actually in Vietnam came back undamaged. It didn’t matter if they were at Khe Sanh or running a beach club in Da Nang, something in their lives got set in stone during that war. The free development of a human being was halted by trauma or guilt or disgust, and they became obsessives, repeating the same stories over and over in conversation and in life.

War doesn’t make men. It stunts them.

The old guys who start wars must want it that way. The architects of the Vietnam War gave way to the architects of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, but they were recognizable as the same species, patriarchs whose main concern is that they not be diminished by the full flowering of a new and joyous generation. Their god is Saturn, who, out of fear of being overthrown, devoured his children as they were born.

Freud figured all this out some time ago, but in his theories the sons overcome their fathers and go on to make their own mistakes.

We’ve invented a civilization where the old get older, and the young get stuck. Not only do we still send our young people off to war, but we’ve expanded the definition of war.

We’ve figured out, with our deficit spending and unretirable college loans, how to make them foot the bill for their own destruction.

The result is a dry and sterile oligarchy of brittle old farts, a gerontocracy of the rich and powerful who refuse to relinquish their money or authority or jobs, or even make room for the people they’ve brought into this world. When I ride with these folks on the lifts of Sun Valley—above groomed slopes whose laser-calibrated flatness is easy on ancient knees—they still call me kid, and we have the same conversations we had almost 50 years ago.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH Vet sues Idaho in state’s latest skirmish over LGBT rights

Idaho voters see a looming problem with roads and bridges, but few financial solutions.

IDAHO’S BIGGEST POTHOLE

GEORGE PRENTICE Madelynn Taylor, the 74-year-old Navy veteran who gained international attention when the Idaho State Veterans Cemetery rejected her request to be interred along with her late wife, said there was only one avenue left: a lawsuit.

“It’s in my attorneys’ hands now,” she told Boise Weekly. “What else can I do?”

Taylor took a long breath and her voice softened.

“It’s been two years now,” she added.

In April 2012, Jean Mixner died, succumbing to complications related to emphysema.

After meeting Mixner on Saint Patrick’s Day 1995, the two were inseparable—marrying in an Oregon church in 1995 and again in California, at the San Bernardino County Courthouse, in 2008.

“I have Jean’s ashes in a wooden box with a cross on top,” said Taylor.

There hasn’t been a day since her wife’s passing that Taylor hasn’t thought about their common wish: to be interred together at the Idaho State Veterans Cemetery. Soon after Boise Weekly introduced Taylor in April (BW, News, “Malice Toward None, Charity for All,” April 23, 2014), her story went viral: from ABC News to the Washington Post; from the U.K.’s Daily Mail to Jon Stewart’s The Daily Show.

“We were hopeful that Madelynn had made all the appropriate phone calls and personal visits to the cemetery,” said Boise-based attorney Deborah Ferguson, “and by actually filing an application, listing her attorneys, we thought, perhaps, the state would reconsider her request.”

But in a letter dated June 4, 2014, from James Earp, director of the Idaho State Veterans Cemetery, which began with pleasantries such as, “Thank you very much for your preregistration,” and “We are pleased to inform you…”

Earp said that while Taylor’s service to the United States Navy qualified her for burial, the rest of the news was all bad.

“Your application, however, is denied in part as it relates to interment of the individual you listed in the spousal pre-registration section, Ms. Jean Francis Mixner. Your application indicates that both you and Ms. Mixner are female,” wrote Earp, who also quoted Article III, Section 28 of the Idaho Constitution, which says a “marriage between a man and woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized in this state.”

“Oh, yes, Madelynn has visited our cemetery,” Earp told Boise Weekly. “Yes, we comBOI S EW EEKLY.COM

ply with the National Cemetery Administration’s requirement and we verify the veteran’s benefits, but we’re also governed by the Idaho State Constitution and that’s where, I believe, the main differences lie.”

And therein lies Idaho’s main legal debate that has defined much of 2014: Where does the U.S. Constitution’s protection of civil rights end and the Idaho Constitution’s denial of same-sex marriage begin?

“We’re raising federal constitutional issues today,” Boise-based attorney Craig Durham told BW July 7, only minutes after filing Taylor’s lawsuit, alongside co-counsel Ferguson and the National Center for Lesbian Rights.

“Simply put, Madelynn has been denied her civil rights.”

And if you’re keeping score this year, so far it’s 1-0, with Durham/Ferguson/NCLR already defeating the state of Idaho in a federal courtroom. In May, U.S. District Court Judge Candy Dale declared that the Idaho Constitution had relegated Taylor and Idaho’s other LGBT citizens to a “stigmatized second-class status” (BW, Citydesk, “Historic Ruling,” May 14, 2014).

But the state isn’t giving up its fight on that front, either. All of those parties will be back together Monday, Sept. 8, when they argue before the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

“But make no mistake, the burden is on the state,” said Durham. “The state is trying to convince a three-judge panel on the 9th Circuit to overturn Judge Dale.”

And while preparation for arguments in the landmark case intensifies, Ferguson told BW that it was also important to “stay in the moment.”

“This is an area where LGBT developments have been so rapid all across the nation. There was a ruling just last week in Kentucky,” said Ferguson, referring to the latest in a string of federal court rulings against state same-sex marriage bans.

And if, for some reason, Idaho argues

that needs more time to respond to Madelynn Taylor’s lawsuit, because it is too busy preparing to argue before the 9th Circuit, Durham said that would be a pretty lame excuse.

“I don’t think that would be an appropriate response. This has been an issue that has been percolating for a while,” he said. “In fact, I know it’s not a surprise.”

It turns out that Durham’s co-counsel, Ferguson, gave representatives of the Idaho Attorney General’s Office a heads-up that the July 7 lawsuit was heading their way.

“It’s a professional courtesy,” said Ferguson.

Even casual court-watchers expect Idaho Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter, Idaho Attorney General Lawrence Wasden and their supporters to say “no” to same-sex unions, and keep saying no until the case lands before the U.S. Supreme Court.

“Well, they haven’t backed down,” said Ferguson, who isn’t inclined to back down either, especially since, when BW visited her downtown Boise office in June, we noted a very specific framed certificate hanging on her wall.

“Yes, that’s a certificate to argue before the United States Supreme Court,” she said (BW, News, “Still Waiting,” June 18, 2014).

“So, we would be more than ready.”

And Taylor said she’s always ready. She spends most of her summer days inside—especially when the temperature climbs into triple digits—reading and filling out the daily crossword puzzle.

She insists that she’s in good health. But her doctors have told her for decades that she needed to quit smoking.

“Sssshhh. Don’t tell anyone,” she said with a mock whisper. “Yes, I smoke about a pack a day. But I’ve smoked for about 60 years now. But honestly, I really don’t have any other vices. I don’t drink, and quit chasing women a long time ago.”

Reforming Social Security or immigration are the third rails of national politics—touch them at the peril of kissing your political life goodbye. But in Idaho, finding appropriate funding to fix and maintain our roads and bridges has been the pothole that has ensnared Idaho Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter and a number of his colleagues. Work groups, committees and subcommittees have come and gone in spite of repeated warnings that Idaho’s thoroughfares are adequate at best and sometimes dangerous.

Any new sources of revenues to shore up highways and bridges aren’t on the horizon— the last bump in state fuel tax was back in 1996. And voters apparently aren’t in any hurry to revisit those fuel taxes. In a justpublished study from the University of Idaho’s McClure Center for Public Policy Research, a fuel tax increase is way down the list when voters were asked about their level of support for various ways of funding.

The survey, released July 8, found that likely voters generally see Idaho’s roads and bridges as adequate (less so in NorthCentral Idaho). But 10 years from now? Not so much. The results varied by where people lived. For example, Idaho Transportation Department Highway District No. 2, which includes Clearwater, Idaho, Latah, Lewis and Nez Perce counties, gave lower ratings to highways, bridges and city streets. Not surprisingly, those in rural counties throughout the state gave lower ratings to the roads.

Men and women also varied in their opinions: Female voters were less likely to view roads and bridges as completely adequate both now and 10 years from now. Almost all of the likely voters made a connection between Idaho’s economy and its infrastructure.

As for how Idaho will foot the bill to fix its transportation infrastructure, when asked about revenue sources, the majority of likely voters said the state’s current system of collecting sales tax on automotive parts and tires was their first choice, followed closely by a possible increase in registration fees for commercial vehicles. When asked if they would support a bump in passenger car registration fees, support began to drop significantly. An increase of fuel or sales taxes found very little support. And don’t expect Idaho to establish toll roads anytime soon. Only 6 percent of likely voters strongly supported the concept.

This week’s survey clearly establishes Idaho’s dilemma: growing concern for the safety and integrity of our roads and bridges, yet voters’ support is primarily reserved for sources that will generate inadequate funding.

Good luck with that, 2015 Idaho Legislature.

CITYDESK/NEWS NEWS K ELS EY HAW ES

SHADES OF GREEN RENTING GREEN? IT’S NOT A THING On the day after Christmas 2013, Sandi Hainline opened the power bill for the Hagerman home she rents and was shocked. The electricity running through the 2,200-squarefoot rental cost $600. It had never risen higher than $250, even in cold weather.

“What do we do?” she said. “You feel at a loss, because it’s not even your house.”

Energy-efficiency measures often go neglected in rental housing—property owners are less likely to pay for expensive green initiatives when renters pay utility bills.

Meanwhile, renters aren’t necessarily willing to spend the money on sustainable upgrades when they don’t even own the house and won’t see a long-term investment. Simply put, when no one feels like they win, green renting loses.

After the painfully expensive power bill, Hainline started watching her energy usage and building a case to show her landlady.

“I wanted to show her that we know it’s not about the amount of power we’re using,” Hainline said, watching her family’s use down to the hour. Despite minimal and careful use, the house still sucked huge amounts of power. Hainline knew it was beyond her control.

The problems ended up being beyond the walls. A broken pump and disconnected vents resulted in large inefficiencies. After the property owner fixed the problems, Hainline’s bill returned to normal.

As the energy efficiency program leader at Idaho Power, it’s Todd Schultz’ job to help landlords see the benefits of sustainable upgrades. The most successful tool he’s found so far is helping to pad the costs.

Idaho Power offers incentives for energyefficient upgrades, like giving homeowners 15 cents per square foot for the installation of attic insulation. Wall insulation gets 50 cents per square foot. There are also incentives to replace appliances, recycle old refrigerators and change light bulbs.

“What will start to change landlords’ thought process is if customers become more engaged and start asking these types of questions,” Schultz said. “That would encourage owners to make sure they’re putting efficient equipment in that home. But as a renter, you need to make those first steps and have that conversation.”

For Idaho Power, it’s actually more cost-effective to give money toward these initiatives than to generate extra electricity—or buy it at high costs on the market.

For Hainline, it’s a matter of the heart.

She loves her house. She loves the kitchen, with the bay windows and the built-in bench.

“We want to stay here a long time,” she said. “Everything that is in our control, we’ll do. But if it’s insulating the walls, well, we’re renting. It’s not our space.”

The many ways commercial developers build sustainability into their plans JESSICA MURRI Russ Pratt was bothered by the amount of heat let off by desktop computers. A mechanical engineer at architectural firm CSHQA, he’d been looking for opportunities to do something with that energy for 20 years.

“Each desktop generates somewhere around 150 watts of waste heat, and usually, it’s just dumped into the space and we have to provide air conditioning to combat that,” Pratt said.

In his Boise garage, he started tinkering with an idea: What if he could pull the heat from the computers, and do something with it?

When his firm took over half of a 60-year-old warehouse on Broad Street in August 2013, it was Pratt’s chance to execute his plan.

He installed a little mechanism at each desk in the office that captured the heat coming off each processor. In the summertime, that heat gets pushed outside, making for a cooler office space and less need for air conditioning. In the winter, the heat is recirculated into the ventilation, making up almost half the office’s heating.

The way this works is complicated, of course. Engineer-level complicated.

“Luckily I hooked up with some people here who are willing to do something different and go out on a limb,” Pratt said, referring to his employers. “They like the idea of being on the bleeding edge of innovation.”

Everyone likes the idea of green innovation, including—and maybe especially— Boise Mayor Dave Bieter, who has pushed for everything from solar-powered street lamps to a city office of sustainability. He spoke at a press conference put on by the U.S. Green Building Council late last month, applauding local business initiatives to be more sustainable. The group patted itself on the back for the cameras, but there are many shades of “green,” and some are more difficult to achieve than others.

CSHQA, which has designed projects including the Idaho State Capitol renovation and Whole Foods, is as close to the “bleeding edge of innovation” as commercial buildings get when it comes to energy efficiency. Parking spots are made of brick and sand to allow stormwater to percolate into the ground instead of down the gutter and into the river. Geothermal water heats the floors; low-water native plants make up

the landscape; there are 27 different LED light fixtures not expected to burn out for five years; double-pane windows; low-flow toilets; and 14 skylights.

Not all energy-efficiency measures are so intensive though. CSHQA dress code allows shorts and sandals, and every desk has a recycling bin rather than a garbage can.

K.K. Lipsey, business development director for CSHQA, said the cost of the project wasn’t so out of reach.

“Sometimes you see these really highperformance buildings in green building magazines, and they cost $750 per square foot to be that way,” Lipsey said. “We spent $110 per square foot.”

CSHQA is pursuing platinum certification in LEED—Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.

But LEED is a funny thing; it’s hard to attain, maintain and expand.

“The public thinks, ‘Oh, it’s LEED-certified, it’s a really energy-efficient building,’” said Charlie Woodruff, executive director of the U.S. Green Building Council-Idaho Chapter. “But [these] buildings constantly have to be fine-tuned. You can design it to LEED standards, but there’s so much that happens between the hand off of the design to the construction to the operation side.

You can’t just put a stamp on it and walk away.”

It’s a long process. Woodruff said it comes down to a lot of paperwork, tracking building materials and seeing where they came from, then getting all the contractors and subcontractors to do the same. Then it goes through a review process and sometimes comes back and has to be addressed before being reviewed again.

Ada County has 47 LEED-certified buildings, seven of which are public. The Ada County Courthouse became the first in 2005, and 154 have followed since then

statewide. Many of Boise’s recent high-profile construction projects have their sights on LEED certification, including the the Eighth and Main building, Simplot’s JUMP and the new City Center Plaza—which broke ground July 1. The overwhelming majority are private, but Mayor Bieter is rooting for every new public building to have energyefficiency measures.

“It makes sense to incorporate sustainability practices around your business every day,” he said in the press conference. “Make it part of your DNA. It’s not an add-on, it’s not something you do when you’ve done everything else. It’s part of the very core of your practice.”

The city has focused on sustainability efforts—especially in infrastructure.

“But implementation is always the challenge,” Woodruff said, “just look at the number of recommendations on that climate action plan that we’ve moved forward on.

There’s a bunch in there that haven’t been pushed forward. Boise’s Energy Future Plan never moved past draft form.”

He added that when the market doesn’t value energy efficiency over immediate return on investment, building to LEED standards is hard. Then, there’s the greenwashing.

“The most glaring example here is people saying, ‘We’re going to build to LEED standards,’ knowing LEED means something to people. ‘We’re going to build to LEED, but we’re not going for LEED certification.’ It’s like saying, ‘I studied, I just didn’t take the test,’” Woodruff said.

It saves builders a lot of money and time, but he said it doesn’t help the Treasure Valley combat climate change.

“We’ve seen such serious impacts here,” he said. “We want to be aggressive, getting people to see that it’s really connected to how we build.”

CITIZEN OF TH ekly EW e w E EE IS K O B OUR CONVERSATION:

Do you spend a fair amount of time at the Statehouse?

Absolutely, listening.

Testifying?

No. Is that by design?

For us, it’s all about education; it’s never advocacy for, or against, particular legislation.

Let’s talk about your predecessor Mike Ferguson (BW, Citizen, “Mike Ferguson,” Jan. 23, 2013). No one can dispute his research; but he has also had the rare opportunity to provide analysis and, on occasion, call certain portions of our state government onto the carpet for their fiscal policies and practices. Do you see that as part of your new role as well?

The role for the center is to increase transparency and accountability, helping us to understand the implications of decisions being made, so that we can all participate in the process more effectively.

Let’s talk about KIDS COUNT for a minute.

Your data is apolitical. On the other hand, it doesn’t take too long for someone to drill into the research and start seeing themes about how Idaho takes care of its most vulnerable children and adults. Is it the job of KIDS COUNT to define solutions?

KIDS COUNT plays a role in laying out options and examining what impacts of different policy solutions might be. Ultimately, it’s up to our legislators to make those decisions.

LAUREN NECOCHEA Why everyone in Idaho should know what ‘21 percent’ represents GEORGE PRENTICE It’s hard to imagine anyone filling the shoes of Mike Ferguson—the state’s former chief economist and newly retired director of the Idaho Center for Fiscal Policy—who has spoken truth to Idaho’s powerbrokers in the prickliest of fiscal debates But then there’s Lauren Necochea.

“I’m absolutely thrilled to have this opportunity,” she told Boise Weekly as she settled into her new role as the center’s executive.

She didn’t have to travel far. In fact, she’s stayed put in her office at Boise-based Mountain States Group, where she has been director of Idaho KIDS COUNT for the past three years. But now, she’ll be holding down leadership roles for both organizations (KIDS COUNT and the Center for Fiscal Policy are both integral parts of Mountain States).

BW grabbed a rare few minutes for the ever-busy, double-duty director—an Idaho native, economist, Fulbright Scholar, public affairs analyst, wife and mother—to talk about her personal and professional journey and the uncharted waters ahead for Idaho.

lars if we close the coverage gaps.

So, let’s drill into one of those decisions. Is it your sense that Idaho will have to visit Medicaid expansion sooner than later?

We have an untapped opportunity with huge implications for the financial securities of Idahoans. It’s a very positive sign that the governor has called together his Medicaid redesign work group; and they’ve performed an updated analysis that shows us we can save between $92 [million] and $176 million dol-

RE

But you must acknowledge that politics continue to crowd the room with Medicaid, and that appears to be keeping us from having that conversation?

We have to figure out the most pragmatic decision for Idaho.

Your new duties at the Idaho Center for Fiscal Policy will include new staff, yes?

We’ll have a communications manager—Jim Munkers—we’re sharing his skills alongside his duties at META [Microenterprise Training and Assistance]. Plus, beginning this week, we have Liz Woodruff [former executive director of Snake River Alliance] coming on board.

Well, she’s formidable. What will her duties be?

Research and writing for both Idaho KIDS COUNT and the Idaho Center for Fiscal Policy.

2014 is a politically charged year in Idaho.

Every state-elected officer, plus all of the Legislature, is up for grabs this November. How do you make sure that you keep an appropriate distance from all of that noise?

Well for one, we have a bipartisan advisory committee. Everyone in Idaho, Democrats and Republicans, wants to see strong schools, safe communities, and roads and infrastructure that businesses need to prosper. There’s no reason for those to be partisan discussions.

My guess is that you’re asked to quote statistics all the time. What’s the one statistic that everyone in Idaho should know?

Twenty-one percent. The child poverty rate in Idaho is 21 percent. And it has been going up over the last 10 years, even as we come out of the Great Recession.

And when people react with shock to that number, you say what?

We earn very low wages in this state, and we have a high proportion of minimum wage jobs.

The conversation over Idaho’s minimum wage is pretty fluid right now.

There is definitely some data we can look at.

So, let me press you on that. Might you address the minimum wage issue within the next year?

I’ll say this: We might.

I need to ask you about meeting your husband in Peru. You were a Fulbright scholar at the time and he was a Yale medical student at the time, visiting his hometown of Lima.

WHISKEY BUSINESS A handful of Boise distilleries are breaking into the booming bourbon industry TARA MORGAN Mark Twain famously said, “Too much of anything is bad, but too much good whiskey is barely enough.” A large portion of present-day drinkers would probably raise a glass to that. According to the Distilled Spirits Council, more than 18 million cases of bourbon and Tennessee whiskey were sold in the United States in 2013, generating more than $2.4 billion in revenue for distillers.

Whiskey sales are also skyrocketing around the world. The DSC announced that American bourbon and whiskey exports topped $1 billion in 2013 for the first time ever. In early 2013, rising global demand led Maker’s Mark to declare—and then quickly recant after widespread public outrage—that it would water down the bourbon in its red-wax-topped bottles in order to increase production.

Idaho is drinking the whiskey Kool-Aid, too. According to Howard Wasserstein at the Idaho State Liquor Division, sales of whiskey, bourbon and moonshine are all up in the Gem State.

In fact, of the ISLD’s top 10 best-selling products in fiscal year

BOI S EW EEKLY.COM

2013, the top three were whiskey—Crown Royal, Black Velvet Canadian and Jack Daniel’s Black Label Tennessee Whiskey—with combined sales for those three brands alone totaling more than $7 million dollars.

While whiskey is an astoundingly broad spirits category—the term includes a dizzying array of distilled alcoholic beverages from around the world that are generally barrel-aged—bourbon is much more specific. To be called bourbon, a spirit must be made in America from at least 51 percent corn; distilled to no more than 160 proof, or 80 percent alcohol by volume; and aged in new, charred oak barrels. Though there’s no specific required aging time, to be labeled “straight bourbon” the spirit must be aged for a minimum of two years.

And this significant time investment has been a barrier to local distillers venturing into bourbon-making—until now. This year, three new craft distilleries are opening in Boise with one common goal: To make local bourbon and whiskey.

8 F E AT H E R S D I S T I L L E R Y

8 FEATHERS DISTILLERY A warm breeze swept through the roll-up doors at 8 Feathers Distillery, scattering cereal notes of boiled corn, wheat and barley around the open warehouse space off Maple Grove Road. Distillers Marjie Lowe and Sandee Price were cooking a mash of locally grown, ground-on-site grains that would soon enter the fermenting tank as wort. After two distillations, what will emerge is an unfiltered corn moonshine, or un-aged whiskey.

Price dipped her finger under a warm stream of clear liquor trickling off the still and tasted it.

“This has been coming off really, really hot today,” said Price, eyeing a hydrometer that read 50 percent alcohol, or 100 proof. “I think the change in weather affects how the yeast acts; it’s not as cold here at night.”

In addition to making a bourbon and a Scotch-style, single malt whiskey, Price says 8 Feathers plans to experiment with making other whiskies from more uncommon grains, like locally grown teff.

“But those are all going to have to lay up for at least a couple of years,” said Price.

In the meantime, 8 Feathers is releasing an unfiltered corn moonshine, which is now on Idaho liquor store shelves.

“The moonshine, or the single-barrel corn whiskey, that we’re doing now is kind of how we’re getting money to be able to wait so long,” explained Price.

But 8 Feathers’ moonshine isn’t the type of white lightning made in Appalachian shacks. After it’s distilled twice, the moonshine is aged in un-charred American oak barrels for about two months.

“Most moonshines that you see on the market right now are clear. Well, we’re not and the color actually comes from the barrel,” said Price. “What it does is it kind of takes off that harsh edge that moonshines have. But it’s unfiltered so you’ll actually see sediment in the bottom of some of it.”

8 Feathers’ single-barrel moonshine is then bottled and hand signed by head distiller Greg Lowe, Marjie’s husband.

“We don’t blend any of our barrels together so every barrel could have a different character, impart different things into the product,” said Price, whose husband, Larry, heads up sales for the distillery. “So there will be some flavor differences in our product.”

And now, thanks to relentless lobbying efforts by Price and Lowe, consumers can taste those subtle flavor differences in 8 Feathers’ tasting room. On July 1, the Distilled Spirits Sampling Bill went into effect in Idaho, making it legal to sample small amounts of alcohol on-site at Idaho distilleries.

“Before this, if people came into tour our facility they were not allowed by law to take a taste of our product,” said Price.

“You can do it at wineries—unlimited—and you can do it at breweries, but you weren’t able to for distilleries.”

Because distilled spirits are so much higher in alcohol than beer or wine, Price and Lowe worked closely with Idaho senators to craft a bill that had “appropriate guard-rails.”

“It’s a very small sample size—it’s a quarter of an ounce,

which is half a tablespoon. You can have three in 24 hours,” said Price. “A 110-pound woman, if she leaves the distillery after taking all of her samples, her blood alcohol level will be 0.006, far below legal intoxication limits.”

Price continued: “This isn’t about getting people drunk, we don’t want to be a bar. We want people to, after they tour our facility, they see a bottle there and don’t know if they want to buy it so we let them taste it,” said Price. “It’s an informed purchase decision and it gets us on parity with the wineries and breweries.”

The bill has benefited more than just 8 Feathers.

etrate the wood deeper. And when it gets colder it seals back up and when it gets warmer it opens up again,” explained Nicholson. “So the more times that process happens, the better the aging and sometimes quicker it goes. It could be anywhere from three to six years, depending. The only way you really know is by sampling.”

IDAHO BOURBON DISTILLERS A couple of miles away, another new distillery will soon be cranking out corn moonshine in another nondescript warehouse office park.

Idaho Bourbon Distillers, located at 2762 Featherly Way, plans to open its tasting room to the public a couple of days after its first orders ship out, Sunday, July 20.

“The first batch is going to be moonshine and then we’ll probably release an aged rye this holiday season,” explained owner-operator Mike Nicholson, standing in the empty concrete space before his equipment arrived.

Like 8 Feathers, Idaho Bourbon Distillers will start off selling moonshine made from local corn, but its won’t be barrel aged. Instead, IBD will offer flavored moonshines—bacon and apple pie—in addition to a line of flavored vodkas, including bacon, watermelon, orange, lemon, cherry and pomegranate.

Over the past eight years, Nicholson has worked doing consulting, branding and distribution for national whiskey companies. Now, he’s taking that knowledge and distilling it into his own brand.

“Our philosophy is kind of more the traditional Kentucky bourbon process. My passion has always been bourbon, so I kind of wanted to bring some of that to the West,” said Nicholson. “We’re going to be known as definitely an elite bourbon distillery out here. Our products will probably be not less than $27 a bottle for a 750 ml and we’ll do some stuff in the upper $30s, lower $40s.”

Idaho Bourbon Distillers has invested in a number of charred, new American oak barrels to age its bourbon—100, 60 gallon barrels and 30-40 additional smaller barrels.

“We have various sized barrels, which help us age some of our products faster so we can get them on the market,” said Nicholson.

Though it seems counterintuitive, smaller barrels impart their character on liquor faster than larger barrels because more of the liquid’s surface area is exposed to the wood.

Though Nicholson isn’t sure how long he’ll be aging his bourbon, he says he’ll be sampling the barrels every six months to keep an eye on them.

“Idaho’s got a climate where the temperature gets really hot and dry in the summer and so when you have temperatures like that, wood expands so that allows whiskey to pen-

NORTHERN PACIFIC DISTILLERY In yet another warehouse space, this one located near Fairview Avenue and Cloverdale Road at 11770 W. President Dive, Suite H, another local distillery is preparing to open its doors. Founded by brothers Josh and Tory Corson and business partner Brian Farias, Northern Pacific Distillery plans to produce bourbon, corn moonshine, gin and vodka. But getting the distillery off the ground has taken longer than expected because the owners are building all of the equipment by hand.

“Our equipment is three to four weeks from being done, and we’re just finishing up with the sewer department with the city and the rest of our permits,” said Tory. “So we should be in there and operational in four to six weeks and getting products ready to be shipped out to the state. Our bourbon, though, of course, we’re distilling it in Idaho and aging it here, so it could be quite a while for the aged bourbon.”

Like 8 Feathers and Idaho Bourbon Distillers, Northern Pacific will use local ingredients to craft its bourbon, specifically white winter wheat to supplement the corn. Northern Pacific also plans to release a gin flavored with local botanicals, along with a line of vodkas and moonshines flavored with real ingredients. But they’re still ironing out all of the recipes.

“The moonshine, it’s whiskey it’s just un-aged … It’ll be the same mash bill as our bourbon’s going to be, maybe,” said Tory. “We’re also playing around with doing 100 percent corn, which is a little more traditional for an un-aged whiskey.”

Tory says Northern Pacific is hoping to have products available and have the on-site tasting room open by midto-late August, “depending on how long it takes to get the recipes down.”

“We’ve been working on this for two years now and we’re finally a few weeks away from being able to start using our still and getting products out. … We’re ready. We’ve been ready for so long it’s just such a long process,” added Tory.

BARDENAY Not to be left out of the liquor loop, longtime local distillery/restaurant Bardenay is also wading into the whiskey waters.

“We’re making our first batch of whiskey,” confirmed Bardenay Head Distiller Scott Probert. “We’ve been talking about it for a number of years but have actually started doing it within the last six months.”

Though Bardenay has been distilling its own vodka, gin and rum for years, the company didn’t have the equipment necessary to make whiskey. So Bardenay partnered with B O I S E WE E KLY. C O M

B A R D E N AY Edge Brewing Company to mash their grains off-site.

“It’s been a collaboration; they’re usually there with us but we’re all up there running the equipment,” said Probert.

Now, Bardenay has rye whiskey aging in new American oak barrels. Probert said Bardenay bartenders will eventually be able to use the whiskey to make craft cocktails.

“We’re about four to five years out from having anything that’s drinkable, but it would be nice to have that offered at the bar.”

Probert said he’s excited to see new craft whiskey distilleries opening in Boise because it increases options for local cocktail lovers.

“As far as craft cocktails and all that goes, that just creates a lot more offerings for bartenders and consumers,” he said.

WHISKEY BAR

WHISKEY BAR And speaking of craft cocktails, perhaps nowhere is Boise’s growing love for whiskey more apparent than at the recently opened Whiskey Bar. The dark, wood-paneled space boasts blown-up black-and-white photos of rock stars, a mounted moose head and dangling Edison light bulbs.

The decor perfectly captures the liquor’s rough-and-tumble, old timey allure.

Behind a long bar lined with vintage whiskey labels, bartender Mark Allen crafts Sazeracs, Old Fashioneds and Manhattans utilizing various brown elixirs.

“As a spirit [whiskey] varies so much from style to style— from rye to bourbon to the Tennessee style to Canadian, single malts—and now we’re getting whiskeys popping up

KOENIG around the world. … I think the reason why it’s booming is there’s so much variance in style,” said Allen.

In addition to whiskey cocktails, Whiskey Bar’s menu lists hundreds of varieties of bourbon, rye, Scotch, Canadian, Irish and Japanese whiskey. A few pages in, sandwiched between Rebel Yell and Stagg Jr, is a relatively new brand: 7 Devils Straight Bourbon Whiskey.

“7 Devils is good; I like it and it’s actually done really well here as Idaho’s first whiskey,” said Allen.

Released this year by Idaho’s Koenig Distillery and Winery, 7 Devils bills itself as “Idaho whiskey,” but it’s actually distilled in Kentucky then cut with Idaho water and aged here.

That’s not exactly homegrown—or distilled—but, at least for the next couple of years, it’s the closest thing to Idaho whiskey we’ll have.

CHRIS REEVE KNIVES Chris Reeve made his first knife out of necessity. He was serving in the South African military and he needed a knife but couldn’t afford one. He was, however, a toolmaker’s apprentice, so he made one and discovered an affinity for knife making that has led him from crafting one knife at a time to founding internationally known Chris Reeve Knives.

Reeve and his wife, Anne, emigrated to Boise in 1989, 2949 S. Victory View Way, picking the city because it was 7 a.m.-5:30 p.m., large enough to keep their 208-375-0367, budding business afloat, yet chrisreeve.com. small enough to let newcomers “find their feet,” Reeve writes on chrisreeve.com.

Chris Reeve Knives now has 30 employees who assist in the manufacture of folding and fixed-blade knives, each of which can be inlaid with mother of pearl, amber, hematite, tiger’s eye, almandine garnet, amethyst, blue star sapphire or triple mosaic opal. An artist on staff creates one-off designs by hand for extra. Knives start at about $200.

All Chris Reeve Knives come with a lifetime guarantee and free regular maintenance. Reeve’s original dream was to be a world champion grand prix motorcycle racer and though that didn’t happen, he channeled that energy into knifemaking, and a “passion to be the best in the world never left [him],” he writes.

The Musketeers pays proper respect to Alexandre Dumas’ 19th century source material, but the show crackles with fresh wit. Peter Capaldi (the current Dr. Who) appears to be having the most fun as Cardinal Richelieu, whose sharp tongue is as formidable as any musketeer’s saber.

And by the way, Masters of Sex and Ray Donovan, two more gems, are about to begin their second seasons this month... on Sunday BBC America’s The Musketeers is the latest great series to nights. I give up.

GLOBELAMP, JULY 13, THE CRUX Foxygen (Sam France and Jonathan Rado) was one of the most anticipated bands of the 2013 Treefort Music Fest. We Are The 21st Century Ambassadors Of Peace & Magic (Jagjaguwar, 2013) was blowing up (rightly so) and so was Foxygen singer Sam France, who had a well-documented meltdown on stage at SXSW the week before. As Boise Weekly wrote in an interview with its members, Foxygen was “the toast of the indie world.” If you go see Globelamp, which is former Foxygen touring member (and France’s girlfriend) Elizabeth Le Fey—who received her own share of notoriety after revealing on her Tumblr page that she felt France and Rado’s relationship was dysfunctional—out of some kind of curiosity, you probably won’t see her have a breakdown or hear her dish about Foxygen. But you won’t be disappointed because you will experience Fey’s sweet voice and ’60s-inspired psychedelic folk sound, which the OC Register described as “saturated by folk, Gypsy wanderlust and witchcraft.”

BONNIE ‘PRINCE’ BILLY, JULY 16, NEUROLUX Seldom has a pseudonym been as apt as that of musician, actor and renaissance man Will Oldham, aka Bonnie “Prince” Billy. The moniker is pretty, it’s playful, it rolls off the tongue, and it’s as enigmatic as its prolific holder (Oldham’s discography includes hundreds of LPs, EPs, singles, collaborations and compilations). Oldham’s lyrics are cryptic; his melodies are euphonious; his style is protean, flowing from Americana to punk to anything in between—or above, around, below or beside—and he is as flexible with his chosen name as he as with his music. Early on, Oldham performed as Palace, Palace Brothers, Palace Music and Palace Songs; currently, iterations include Bonny “Prince” Billy, Dr. Bonnie “Prince” Billy and Bonnie Billie to name a few.

And Oldham is as compelling on the big screen as he is on his albums, having appeared in more than 20 films. And since no renaissance man would be complete without a signature scent, there’s Bonnie Billy by Sanae Intoxicants, a “bouquet of Mukhallat on a warm Egyptian tobacco night.” Bonnie, indeed.

WINESIPPER/DRINK FOOD/NEWS

A TRIO OF PINOTS

2011 THE CRATER RIM PINOT NOIR, BENDIGO TERRACE, $23 Pinot noir has found a successful home in New Zealand, but not all regions are created equal. Some of the best come from Central Otago, as this enticing wine proves. The nose offers lovely floral aromas with dark berry fruit, earthy cinnamon and fresh tobacco. The palate is filled with ripe berry flavors along with touches of dark chocolate and cream. This is a world-class pinot.

2012 EVESHAM WOOD PINOT NOIR, $24 Oregon’s Evesham Wood embraces an elegant style for their wines. This mid-tier Eola-Amity Hills offering definitely over-delivers on its price point with spicy rose, Bing cherry and raspberry aromas, all colored by an intriguing touch of earthy forest floor. This beautifully structured and very well-balanced wine leads off with tart cherry flavors followed by velvety berry. Soft tannins come through on the long finish.

2012 J VINEYARDS PINOT NOIR, $35 It took California winemakers a long time to figure out pinot noir, but in the past 20 years or so, they’ve dialed it in. This one from J Vineyards is a beautiful example. It opens with aromas of rose petal, soft oak and mocha-laced cherry.

Rich but well-balanced, this wine’s silky flavors of chocolate-covered cherries and creamy berries fill the mouth and linger on.

K ELS EY HAW ES

If Bordeaux is the king of red wines, then Burgundy is the queen. But the grapes that go into Bordeaux, principally cabernet sauvignon and merlot, can be grown in almost any environment. Pinot noir, the sole grape of red Burgundy, is much more finicky. It’s a testament to that region’s exceptional wines that viticulturists and winemakers around the world have zealously attempted to reproduce their success. While it’s been an uphill struggle, when our panel tasted pinot noirs from six different regions on four continents, we were impressed. Here are the top picks:

VINE WINE SHOP AND NOODLE KOREA OPEN Plus Kindness preps for Owyhee Plaza grand opening TARA MORGAN Le Coq Rouge is now the home of vin rouge (and blanc). Vine Wine Shop and Lounge took over the former French bistro space at 1320 S. Maple Grove Road June 25.

“We’re focusing on small batch, boutique, small vintner wines that you don’t get in the grocery stores,” explained James Jackson, husband of owner Tim Jackson. “We’ve got stuff in here from Portugal; South Africa; Spain; Walla Walla; California; Provence, France; everywhere.”

The revamped space, decked out in muted earth tones, features a small bar, a smattering of high-top tables and a few brown leather chairs clustered around a stone fireplace.

“We’ve toned it way down and kept the decor at a minimum … We took all the TVs out, there’s no karaoke. … We want to encourage conversation and enjoyment of the wine,” said James.

Vine’s wine selection is displayed horizontally on minimalist shelves lining the walls.

Customers can purchase wines by the bottle or by the glass. Tuesday nights they’ll offer wine tastings from 6-8 p.m., with 20 percent discounts on bottles being sampled that night.

“Every evening we’ll have selected wines by the glass—we’ll have two reds, two whites and a rose available by the glass, which will change every few days,” said James. “So we’re encouraging people to step outside of their comfort zone and try something new.”

Vine is currently offering cheese, olives and crackers for customers to snack on, but they plan on expanding the menu over the next couple of weeks to serve salads, soups and cold sandwiches like roast beef and cranberry on ciabatta, and herbed chevre on croissant with kalamata olives, spinach and arugula.

“As we get bigger, we will hire a chef and then we’ll start doing chef’s tables probably closer to the end of the year, three nights a week,” said James. “Full, sit-down, seven- or eight-course meals … all paired with wine.”

Vine Wine Shop and Lounge is open seven days a week, from 11 a.m.-close, which is usually around 11-11:30 p.m., but no later than 1 a.m. Lunch will eventually be served from 11 a.m.-2 p.m., seven days a week.

Vine Wine Shop’s earth tones and minimal decor are meant to put the focus on conversation—and wine.

For more info, call 208-949-5561, or visit the company’s Facebook page.

In other opening news, Noodle Korea is now dishing up wok-style Korean specialties at 2325 S. Apple St., next door to Blue Cow Frozen Yogurt. Owned by Kenny and Iris Jeon, the same couple that runs Yoi Tomo Sushi and Grill, Noodle Korea has an upscale vibe, with giant ivory paper lanterns suspended from the ceiling, dark wood paneling and sleek booths.

The kitchen specializes in dishes like Jajangmyeon—noodles with pork, vegetables, stir fry paste and black bean sauce—and Yangnyeom, Korean-style seasoned fried chicken. Other dishes include Yaki-Jjamppong, stir-fried spicy noodle soup with vegetables and seafood, octopus salad, and an assortment of Korean-style rice bowls.

The joint also offers a sizeable beer selection—with brews like Asahi and Sapporo alongside New Belgium’s 1554 and Sockeye’s Dagger Falls IPA—in addition to wine and sake.

Noodle Korea is open Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m.-2:30 p.m., and 5 p.m.9:30 p.m.; and Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m.-10 p.m.

For more info on Noodle Korea, call 208-343-0071 or visit noodlekorea.us.

Speaking of openings, the revamped Owyhee Plaza is gearing up for its grand opening bash, July 9 from 6-9 p.m. Boise Weekly toured the spruced-up space with Kindness owner Michael Tapia a couple of days before the project was to be unveiled to the public.

“Basically, we’re a hotel without the hotel now,” said Tapia, gesturing to the naturally lit, modernized lobby area dotted with low-backed arm chairs and wooden tables crafted from tree-trunk slices.

The Owyhee’s new bar area is separated from the lobby by a low wooden wall that conceals a handful of comfy chairs. A row of bar-front, banana-yellow high chairs is

more immediately visible. At the building’s grand opening celebration July 9, former BW Best of Boise Best Local Bartender Mark Allen will be serving specialty cocktails alongside mixologist Kevin Kelpe. Each floor of the building, including the seventh floor rooftop terrace, will feature a separate bar with “something a little different” offered at each.

The high-ceilinged space that houses Kindness—a new American concept with Mediterranean and Italian influences run by Chef Anna Tapia—features stately columns and impressive crown molding lacquered with a pearlized paint that Michael compared to a “wedding cake.” The walls have a similar shimmery look—technically “hot silver” but they give off a goldish hue—and the black-and-white floor tiles, fashioned after the building’s original tiling, also glint in the light. A long marble countertop, dotted with red stools, gives way to doors with Art Deco arches concealing a second dining room space with large windows.

Kindness’ opening dinner menu will include dishes like sautéed wild mushrooms in a truffle cream sauce with fresh chives and crostini; Lava Lakes lamb sausage salad with local greens, goat cheese, dried cranberries and caramelized pecans; and a grilled veggie flatbread with kale, zucchini, red onion, butternut squash, broccoli, mozzarella and aged provolone. Kindness’ main dish, “meat and two sides” options include a Snake River Farms Kurobuta pork shank, ruby red trout and personal meatloaf, with side options like brown butter gnocchi, basil polenta and haricot vert with shallots.

Though Kindness won’t host its official grand opening until Thursday, July 24, from 4-10 p.m., the restaurant will be catering food and drinks at the Owyhee’s grand opening.

AMAZING RACE Twenty-eight years of the Twilight Criterium ANDREW MENTZER Smokey Bear says: “Read the damn sign.”

CLEANING UP PAST FIRES, PUTTING OUT NEW ONES, PREPARING FOR MORE Boise anglers get a treat this summer: They can fish for Chinook salmon in the Boise River. The Idaho Department of Fish and Game released several hundred surplus salmon from the hatcheries into the Boise River at Barber Park, the Americana bridge and the Glenwood bridge on July 2.

“Whenever the last one gets caught, they’ll be gone,” said IDFG spokesperson Mike Keckler. He said most people who want to fish for salmon have to leave the Treasure Valley for places like Riggins.

“But this gives people an opportunity to catch these fish locally. It gives people the chance to go fishing before or after work,” Keckler said.

Anglers need a valid Idaho fishing license and a salmon permit, and they can keep two Chinook per day, with a limit of six total.

Away from the river and closer to the Foothills, Boise Parks and Recreation is offering two free presentations at Jim Hall Foothills Learning Center this month on wildfire safety. The first class is July 9, 7-8:30 p.m., and gives adults tips on preparing for wildfires, like creating evacuation plans and emergency supply lists, and inventorying a household.

Saturday, July 12, 10 a.m.-1 p.m., families can drop in to learn about the history of fire in the Foothills, how fires have changed in recent years and how to prevent them. The interactive program lets participants try on fire gear, talk to a wildland firefighter and safely watch a mini-forest fire demonstration. No registration is required for either class.

In other fire news, the Blaine County Fire Department is currently monitoring the Colorado Gulch fire burning three miles west of Hailey. The fire ignited on the evening of July 6 and crews expect to gain control of the blaze by Thursday, July 10.

As of press time, a few homes in the area had been evacuated and the fire had burned 750 acres of mostly grass and brush.

The Blaine County Fire Department said the fire has closed the Croy Creek Trailhead, including a nearby motocross track. Most of the trails in the area are already closed from last summer’s Beaver Creek Fire.

But the Ketchum Ranger District opened a large portion of burned area from the Beaver Creek Fire for the Fourth of July weekend. The fire burned 110,000 acres and severely impacted recreation in the Wood River Valley (BW, Feature, “Surviving Fire Season,” Oct. 23, 2013).

It all started back in 1986. Boise and its 100,000 or so residents had just landed host city duties for the National Cycling Championships—bringing in 1,500 of the country’s top cyclists for several days of competition.

The event was wildly successful and stirred the curiosity of First Security Bank, now Wells Fargo.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): What are the sources that heal and nourish you? Where do you go to renew yourself? Who are the people and animals that treat you the best and are most likely to boost your energy? I suggest that in the coming week you give special attention to these founts of love and beauty. Treat them with the respect and reverence they deserve. Express your gratitude and bestow blessings on them.

It’s the perfect time for you to summon an outpouring of generosity as you feed what feeds you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Why do birds fly? First, that’s how they look for and procure food.

Second, when seasons change and the weather grows cooler, they may migrate to warmer areas where there’s more to eat.

Third, zipping around in mid-air is how birds locate the materials they need to build nests. Fourth, it’s quite helpful in avoiding predators. But ornithologists believe there is yet another reason: Birds fly because it’s fun.

In fact, up to 30 percent of the time, that’s their main motivation.

In accordance with the astrological omens, Taurus, I invite you to match the birds’ standard in the coming weeks. See if you can play and enjoy yourself and have a good time at least 30 percent of the time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Is there an important resource you don’t have in sufficient abundance? Are you suffering from the lack of an essential fuel or tool?

I’m not talking about a luxury it would be pleasant to have or a status symbol that would titillate your ego. Rather, I’m referring to an indispensable asset you need to create the next chapter of your life story. Identify what this crucial treasure is, Gemini.

Make or obtain an image of it, and put that image on a shrine in your sanctuary. Pray for it. Vividly visualize it for a few minutes several times a day. Sing little songs about it. The time has arrived for to become much more serious and frisky about getting that valuable thing in your possession.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Since 1981, Chinese law has stipulated that every healthy person between the ages of 11 and 60 should plant three to five trees per year. This would be a favorable week for Chinese Cancerians to carry out that duty. For that matter, now is an excellent time for all of you Cancerians, regardless of where you live, to plant trees, sow seeds, launch projects, or do anything that animates your fertility and creativity.

You now have more power than you can imagine to initiate longterm growth.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The weeks preceding your birthday are often an excellent time to engage the services of an

30 | JULY 9–15, 2014 | BOISEweekly C L A S S I F I E D S

exorcist. But there’s no need to hire a pricey priest with dubious credentials. I can offer you my expert demon-banishing skills free of charge. Let’s begin. I call on the spirits of the smart heroes you love best to be here with us right now. With the help of their inspirational power, I hereby dissolve any curse or spell that was ever placed on you, even if it was done inadvertently, and even if it was cast by yourself.

Furthermore, the holy laughter I unleash as I carry out this purification serves to expunge any useless feelings, delusional desires, bad ideas or irrelevant dreams you may have grown attached to. Make it so! Amen and hallelujah!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You know what it’s like to get your mind blown. And I’m sure that on more than one occasion you have had your heart stolen. But I am curious, Virgo, about whether you have ever had your mind stolen or your heart blown. And I also wonder if two rare events like that have ever happened around the same time. I’m predicting a comparable milestone sometime in the next three weeks. Have no fear! The changes these epiphanies set in motion will ultimately bring you blessings. Odd and unexpected blessings, probably, but blessings nonetheless. P.S.: I’m sure you are familiar with the tingling sensation that wells up in your elbow when you hit your funny bone. Well, imagine a phenomena like that rippling through your soul.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Since 2008, Marvel Studios has produced nine movies based on characters from Marvel Comics.

They’re doing well. The Avengers earned $1.5 billion, making it the third-highest-grossing film of all time. Iron Man 3 brought in more than $1 billion, too, and Thor: The Dark World grossed $644 million. Now Marvel executives are on schedule to release two movies every year through 2028.

I’d love to see you be inspired by their example, Libra. Sound fun? To get started, dream and scheme about what you want to be doing in both the near future and the far future. Then formulate a flexible, invigorating master plan for the next 14 years.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): While in Chicago to do a series of shows, comedian Groucho Marx was invited to participate in a séance. He decided to attend even though he was skeptical of the proceedings. Incense was burning. The lights were dim. The trance medium worked herself into a supernatural state until finally she announced, “I am in touch with the Other Side.

Does anyone have a question?”

Groucho wasn’t shy. “What is the capital of North Dakota?” he asked. As amusing as his irreverence might be, I want to use it

as an example of how you should not proceed in the coming week.

If you get a chance to converse with higher powers or mysterious forces, I hope you seek information you would truly like to know.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In one of her poems, Adrienne Rich addresses her lover: “That conversation we were always on the edge / of having, runs on in my head.” Is there a similar phenomenon in your own life, Sagittarius? Have you been longing to thoroughly discuss certain important issues with a loved one or ally, but haven’t found a way to do so? If so, a breakthrough is potentially imminent. All of life will be conspiring for you to speak and hear the words that have not yet been spoken and heard but very much need to be.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): This would be a fun time for you to brainstorm about everything you have never been and will never be. I encourage you to fantasize freely about the goals you don’t want to accomplish and the qualities you will not cultivate and the kind of people you will never seek out as allies. I believe this exercise will have a healthy effect on your future development. It will discipline your willpower and hone your motivation as it eliminates extraneous desires. It will imprint your deep self with a passionate clarification of pursuits that are wastes of your precious energy and valuable time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Expect nothing even as you ask for everything. Rebel against tradition with witty compassion, not cynical rage. Is there a personal taboo that no longer needs to remain taboo? Break it with tender glee. Do something playful, even prankish, in a building that has felt oppressive to you.

Everywhere you go, carry gifts with you just in case you encounter beautiful souls who aren’t lost in their own fantasies. You know that old niche you got stuck in as a way to preserve the peace?

Escape it. At least for now, live without experts and without leaders—with no teachers other than what life brings you moment by moment.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Every year, the U.S. government spends $25,455 per capita on programs for senior citizens.

Meanwhile, it allocates $3,822 for programs to help children.

That’s only 15 percent as much as what the elders receive. In the coming weeks, Pisces, I believe your priorities should be reversed.

Give the majority of your energy and time and money to the young and innocent parts of your life.

Devote less attention to the older and more mature aspects.

According to my reading of the astrological omens, you need to care intently for what’s growing most vigorously.vvvv
