ON THE TRAIL This week Boise Weekly hits the campaign trail with a slate of coverage ahead of the Tuesday, Nov. 4, election. First, there is BW News (ditor *eorge 3rentice·s proÀle of the unusually tense contest for seats on the Ada County Highway District Commission, followed by dueling Citizen interviews with Idaho Treasurer Ron Crane and his challenger, Deborah Silver, who had some hard words for the incumbent. Staff writer Jessica Murri takes a look at the part women are playing in Idaho politics, both in the halls of power and behind the scenes, where they are taking a central role in several high proÀle campaigns. Finally, inserted in this week’s BW is the fall 2014 edition of The Blue Review, published in collaboration with the Boise State University College of Social Sciences and Public Affairs and Boise Weekly. In keeping with the political theme, TBR marshals the talents of Boise State faculty members and other academics to tackle facets of the election season ranging from the inÁuence of the Tea Party to marijuana legislation and the science of campaign rhetoric. Perhaps most interesting is a series of short proÀles with a range of Idaho political players, probing why and when they became politically active. My own moment of politicization came in third grade, when I was the only kid to cast a ballot for Michael Dukakis. But speaking of winners (ouch, sorry Mike), we want to give some props to those who attended the BW Cover Auction on Oct. 16. Our 13th annual auction netted $22,589, with 30 percent of proceeds from covers dated Jan. 1-Sept. 17 going to artists and the remainder beneÀting BW’s artist grants, as well as supporting the BW Watchdogs investigative journalism fund.

OPINION THE MAGNABULOUS JESTER Red’s be wantin’ to talk BILL COPE “I’s be wantin’ t’ talk, Cope.” “Holy crap, Red! Don’t sneak up on me like that!” “I ain’t snuck up on y’, gull durnit. It were you what had y’r back t’ me, sos it ain’t my fault if y’ din’t see me comin’.” “Well good criminy. I don’t normally expect I have to check out who’s skulking around the neighborhood every time I take out the garbage.” “Maybes you oughter start doin’ that, Cope. This is gotten t’ be a dangerful world lately. ‘R ain’tcha noticed?” “So what do you want to talk about, Red? I thought you were still mad at me.” “I is still mad at y’. Y’ ain’t once said y’r sorry f ’r Àrin’ me.” “I said I was sorry I had to Àre you. That’s almost the same thing. And besides, I came to you to see if you’d be interested in writing columns on subjects I don’t give a crap about. That’s a pretty magnanimous gesture, if you ask me. How many other political columnists can you name who would let someone with the exact opposite politics take over his column space now and then?” “Wull it’s that magnabulous jester what I came to talk t’ you about. D’ y’ still mean it?” “Uh… yeah. I suppose. But I’d have to say it all depends on what subject. Do you have something speciÀc in mind?” “Dang shootin’ I’s do, Cope. It’s that Ebola bug what I want to collumize ‘bout. An’ since’n you ain’t said a word about it in y’r collum, I Àgger you mus’ not give a crap ‘bout it.” “Well of course I give a crap about Ebola, Red. But what am I going to write?… that I’m against Ebola? That I don’t believe in Ebola? Honestly, how could there be any differences of opinion about Ebola? It’s a disease… not a Republican presidential candidate.” “Wull I’s got a few ideas ‘bout Ebola what y’r main-strummed media don’ wants t’ talk about.” “Oh boy, here we go.” “Did you know there weren’t no Ebola afore 19 an’ 76. I looked it up on that Wickedypee place. First Ebola showed up in 19 an’ 76. And what else happened in 19 an’ 76, Cope?” “Uuuuuuh…“ “Steve Jobs, tha’s what! Tha’s when Steve Jobs started up that Apple outÀt, an’ y’ know what that led to!” “I know what I think it led to, but I’m curious as hell to hear what you think it led to.” “The Internets, tha’s what! And what did them Internets lead to, huh?” “Red, I’m sorry, but I still don’t see… “ BOI S EW EEKLY.COM

“Email! Don’ y’ get it now? E-mail. An’ then comes E-bays an’ E-books an’ that one they be advertisin’ on the teevee all the time… E-trade. Then there’s E-harmony an’ E-bonics an’ the E Street Band. Now we got E-cigarettes an’ E-Àling f ’r y’r taxes an’ somethin’ called E pluribus onion and that feller e e cummings and E-coli. Folks are watchin’ E news and readin’ E-magazines… ain’t none o’ that was around afore Steve Jobs started that Apple outÀt. None of it! So cain’t y’ git my drift yet? Eeeeee-bola? Huh?” “So, you’re saying that Steve Jobs might somehow be responsible for Ebola, since he’s the guy who started producing personal computers?” “There weren’t no computer viruses back when ever’body din’t have their own computers, were there? An’ what’s that Ebola bug? It’s a gull durned virus, tha’s what!” “Red, this isn’t making sense. It’s like you’re saying Ebola spreads through the Internet.” “Wull why’d they name it ‘E-bola’ then? Use y’r brain juice, Cope! It’s as clear as it c’n get!” “They named it after the Ebola River in the Congo, where the disease was Àrst identiÀed.” “Tha’s what they want y’ t’ believe. But what I think is, there weren’t no Ebola River until there was a disease they could name it after. Afore that, it was prob’ly called the ‘Madahoochie River’ or the ‘Crocodile Stump River’… somethin’ like that.” “Red, you don’t have a lick of evidence for this. It’s all just crap you thought up, isn’t it?” “Tha’s where all the best ideas come from, Cope… when people think ‘em up. We’d ne’er o’ known Obama was really born o’er there in Canya if some feller han’t o’ thought it up. Or how it was the teachers’ union what really blew up them big nine-eleven buildings. Or how it were them crazy ISIS fellers what Joe Biden talked int’ kidnappin’ that Malcaca Airlines plane what disappeared. Or how y’r buddy Obama stole the election by bringin’ in illegal immigrunts to vote three an’ four times each. Or how Hillary Áew int’ Bengassy herself that night, just t’ make sure them ambassador fellers was dead. Tha’s how come I know more’n you do, Cope… acause I can think up things you cain’t.” “And then you put them on the Internet.” “Yup. That way, nobody c’n e’er f ’rget I thought ‘em up.” “You know something, Red? We shouldn’t panic people with the idea they might catch Ebola off the Internet. But I’m willing to explore the possibility there are all sorts of other diseases that get spread there.” “You jus’ tell me how many words y’ want, Cope, an’ I’ll get t’ thinking ‘em up.” BOISEWEEKLY | OCTOBER 22–28, 2014 | 5

OPINION IMPOSSIBLY OLD Aging’s outtakes JOHN REMBER Today is my 64th birthday. That’s a number shockingly old to me. For a year or so I’ve been telling folks that I’m already 64, to soften the blow when it does come. Usually the folk I’ve told that to is Julie. She’s said that I’m not yet 64, and there’s no sense rushing it. Tomorrow, she won’t say that anymore. If I’m lucky, she’ll also refrain from singing the Beatles’ “When I’m Sixty-Four” when we’re in public. I’ve never liked the song, even when I was 62 or 63. It trivializes the pain and perverse joys of old age. Paul McCartney wrote it when he was 16, an age when 64 must have seemed impossibly old. It was only impossibly old for his fellow Beatles, John Lennon and George Harrison. Anyway, McCartney has achieved the age of impossibility, and so have I. While I’m happily unworried about who will need or feed me, I do worry about sanity and humor in the face of old age. In October’s Atlantic—the one with the geriatric skateboarder on the cover—Ezekiel Emanuel writes that he hopes to live only to 75. He’s 57 now, and in good health, but thinks 75 years is enough time. He thinks Americans spend too much money and effort on length of life rather than on quality of life. Having watched both my parents die bereft of movement, sanity and dignity, I agree with him. Neither of my parents wanted to die the way they did—they made that clear in conversations with me when they were younger than I am now—but they were part of a health care system that, if it wasn’t invented by Satan, was invented by one of His hospital managers or health insurance executives. My parents got sucked in, step by irreversible step, until the ends of their lives could be characterized as hopeless unremitting torture. Our health care system, for them at least, replaced dying with dying piece-by-piece. I don’t want to go through anything remotely similar to what my mother or father did. Neither does Ezekiel Emanuel. He says that after age 75 he’s done with routine check-ups, antibiotics, cardiac stress tests and Áu shots. He’ll refuse cancer treatment except for palliative care. No pacemaker, heart bypass operation, PSA test, colonoscopy, ventilator, dialysis or surgery. No resuscitation. I’m well aware that for me, age 75 is only 11 years away. But I tend to agree with Emanuel’s prescription for the horrors of aging. You don’t want to subject your loved ones to them, and you don’t want to undergo them yourself. You especially don’t want to get demented, which will confront your caregivers with a body with no 6 | OCTOBER 22–28, 2014 | BOISEWEEKLY

one in it, whose thought and selfhood have been reduced to grotesque reÁex. I know people who are much older than 75 who still have their wits, who still brighten the world and the lives of the people around them. But I like the idea of letting God and grace choose the manner and time of my own exit. I’m tempted to start on Emanuel’s program now, given its simplicity and lack of waiting rooms. You may prefer to go with the health care system, which is Àne, but don’t expect to Ànd God and grace listed on your itemized bill, and don’t expect that you won’t beg for them eventually. You may think I’ve forgotten the perverse joy portion of this discussion. I haven’t. Two weeks ago Julie and I did our own stress test. We went into the Sawtooths for three days, climbing through the swamps and deadfall of Fishhook Canyon to the base of Baron Peak. We climbed Baron, which is a walk-up if you don’t mind now and then walking on all fours, and we wrote our names in the summit register. We noted that we had last written our names there in 1999, 15 years ago, on a day hike from RedÀsh Lake to the Grandjean trailhead. We climb Baron every 15 years, whether we need it or not, I wrote. I realized that in another 15 years I’d be 79, at which point a day hike to Grandjean might take more than three days. And it would be dangerous in a wheelchair, especially with Julie at the controls. That night I awoke with a deep pain in the center of my back, extending through my chest and down my left arm. “I’m having a heart attack,” I thought to myself, and struggled to a sitting position in the tent, wondering if I should wake Julie and ask her if we’d donated to Life Flight this year. It was the long night of the eclipse, and the full moon was half-bloody through the mosquito netting. I got out of the tent to see what sort of omen it was, and the pain started going away. I realized it was the result of too many hours on the cold hard ground, after a day of climbing and bouldering and scrambling over logs. I walked around for a bit and started feeling pretty resuscitated for a dying man. The next morning I sat on the edge of a stilled deep-green lake, drinking coffee and eating naproxen—palliative care—in slanted October sunlight. Julie sat down beside me. “You going to live?” she asked. I’d told her about my blood-moon panic. She had said that if I really had been dying of a heart attack, it would have been a long and sad walk out to the car. “I’m going to live,” I said. “For the moment.” “The moment is all we’ve got,” she said. “Why would anybody want anything more?” B O I S E WE E KLY.

Six candidates are competing for ACHD District No. 3 (north Ada County). Two candidates are vying to represent District No. 4 (southwest Ada County).

CHANGING LANES? ACHD election gains steam, rancor, interest GEORGE PRENTICE No, his name is not on the ballot, but anyone who doubts Boise Mayor Dave Bieter’s reach into this year’s election isn’t paying attention. Bieter has another full year in his current, record-setting term, but holds considerable political sway in this year’s election of commissioners to the Ada County Highway District board. “Elections matter, absolutely,” Bieter told Boise Weekly when asked about the ACHD vs. Boise City Hall tug-of-war. And get this: Bieter said that in early summer (BW, News, “Why ACHD Elections Matter,” June 11, 2014), long before anyone had Àled to run for the two ACHD seats that are up for grabs Tuesday, Nov. 4. In previous years, ACHD elections have come and gone without much attention—voter participation hovered somewhere around 20,000 in the 2010 and 2012 campaigns. Fast-forward to 2014 and it’s nearly impossible to keep ACHD shenanigans off the front page, given the highway district’s laundry list of spats with Bieter. Bike lanes, parking meters, roundabouts and even the very existence of ACHD have all been thorns in Bieter’s side, and the mayor has had enough. He has openly offered his political support to anyone who agrees that ACHD should be swept clean. It was met with little surprise, then, when another of those thorns in the mayor’s side, ACHD Commissioner Rebecca Arnold, dropped her own “Bieter bomb” into an Oct. 16 ACHD candidate forum (for the record, Arnold isn’t up for reelection herself). In particular, Arnold quizzed the candidates if any of them had cut a sweetheart deal with Bieter in exchange for a promise to kick ACHD Director Bruce Wong to the curb. The short answer to Arnold’s accusation was that none of the candidates made such a promise. But Arnold, who is waging her own campaign to become an Idaho 4th District judge, had stirred BOI S EW EEKLY.COM

the political pot in the ACHD race, while claiming a bit of the limelight for herself—the Idaho Statesman put Arnold on the front page of the next morning’s paper. By design, Arnold had attempted to divert the ACHD conversation from the bigger issue of why it can’t constructively engage with City Hall. “It’s a broken agency,” said candidate Kent Goldthorpe, coming out out swinging in his challenge to ACHD incumbent Commissioner Mitch Jaurena. “ACHD is deÀned by pettiness and political inÀghting.” Jaurena, a close ally of Arnold, spent the better part of the candidate forum defending his hardline stance on Boise and bike lanes. “Sure, we’ve had our differences with Boise and other cities,” said Jaurena, “but collaboration doesn’t mean surrender.” Even though Jaurena is running to hold onto his ACHD seat, he has yet to be elected to anything. In fact, the last time Jaurena tried to run for ACHD commissioner was 2010, when he came in a distant third place to winner Dave Case. It wasn’t until 2012, when Case resigned to become an Ada County commissioner, that Jaurena was appointed to the ACHD board. “Yes, ACHD needs strong leadership, but without being a lapdog to anyone,” Jaurena told the packed candidate forum. Two citizens, both identifying themselves as residents of Boise’s Collister neighborhood, had heard enough. When they had a chance to confront the candidates, the women described what they called ACHD’s shabby treatment of the public. Jaurena remained silent as the pair said they had accumulated hundreds of petition signatures to weigh in on ACHD plans for intersection changes to the corner of State Street and Collister Drive.

“We were treated very poorly when we approached the ACHD,” said Nadene Kranz. “First, ACHD commissioners told us that we were jumping the gun on the issue, but the next thing we know, ACHD staff was telling us that everything was a foregone conclusion. It was a terrible experience.” One by one, each of the ACHD candidates either apologized to the citizens for ACHD’s behavior or expressed outrage or disappointment over the incident. There was one exception. Jaurena remained silent. “Making important decisions with less public input makes my skin crawl,” said Paul Woods, former Ada County commissioner and one of Àve candidates to Àll an open seat on the ACHD board, vacated by retiring Commissioner John Franden. Another contender for the open seat, John Seidl, the current chairman of the Ada County Planning and Zoning Commission, had even harsher words for ACHD’s status quo. “Have you ever been to ACHD? They have a closed-door policy; it’s a siege policy,” he said. “A lot of people don’t feel as if they’re being heard, and that ACHD meetings are mere windowdressing.” When it came time to debate one of the most robust issues in recent memory—bike lanes in Boise’s downtown—most of the candidates championed the Treasure Valley’s cyclist community. “I love bikes,” said J.J. Howard, a civil engineer and land surveyor. “Boise is a bike town. Embrace it,” said web and software developer Brock Frazier. “Bike lanes are critically important,” 8 said Woods.

REPAIRING BOISE’S ‘LAYER CAKE’ It is, quite possibly, the highest profile piece of public art in Idaho. It is also, almost certainly, the most broken. Approximately 30,000 motorists pass by“The River Sculpture” each day, at the corner of Capitol Boulevard and Front Street, but the river hasn’t misted, or lit up, or anything else, since 2009. “It’s a bit like leaving your car outside and never moving it; sun, heat, wind, snow, rain take their toll,” said Terri Schorzman, director of the Boise City Department of Arts and History. “That kind of punishment usually gives you about six years before you need serious maintenance. We pushed it to 14.” Commissioned in 1999, the sculpture was designed by artist Alison Sky, and paid for by the Capital City Development Corporation and the group that operates the Grove Hotel. When it worked, clouds of mist floated among iridescent bubbles through a granite design of the Boise River. But problems began flowing as swift as the river itself: water damage to the opposite wall of the sculpture; damage to blue background panels; mineral deposits from a water-based fog system; an inappropriate sidewalk drainage system. By 2013, the city had a difficult decision: fix it at considerable cost or rip it out. City officials have since teamed up with CCDC and hotel owners to share the cost. Boise is spending $110,000 and the other partners are each paying $35,000. “It’s a complicated renovation,” said Schorzman. “It’s rather amazing how it’s coming together.” “Together” is the operative word for the city’s most unique jigsaw puzzle. “The way it was originally built was like a layer cake on its side,” said Josh Olson, the city’s Cultural Asset Program manager. One of those layers includes huge slabs of granite from a very particular quarry in Finland. “But Trout Architects were able to find some slabs at locations here in the U.S.,” said Olson. “It’s pretty amazing.” Best case scenario: The project could be complete by year’s end, with new LED lights to celebrate the New Year. The misting may need to wait until things thaw a bit. —George Prentice BOISEWEEKLY | OCTOBER 22–28, 2014 | 7

More accomodations for City Center Plaza: bigger signs and pushing buses to City Hall.

Hillside to Hollow Master Plan wins approval JESSICA MURRI

CITY CENTER PLAZA RELOCATES BUS STAGES, DELAYS CITY HALL PLAZA RENOVATION What’s in a name? Plenty, when it comes to the City Center Plaza project, which has carved out a huge footprint in Boise’s downtown core to make way for four distinct elements: a renovated U.S. Bank Plaza; the nine-story Clearwater Building, to be anchored by Clearwater Analytics and Boise State University; an expansion of the Boise Centre; and a subterranean transit facility, to be operated by Valley Regional Transit. Now the developer, Gardner Company, is looking for special exceptions from the city’s Design Review Committee for signs that would be considerably higher and bigger for the four buildings. The company also wants more signs than what City Code traditionally allows. According to a letter to the city, Gardner says the signs are “necessary to clearly identify the locations.” Included in the art designs submitted to the city are familiar logos for Boise State and Clearwater, but they also include a large ground-floor sign for a Buffalo Wild Wings Grill & Bar that would occupy the first floor of the Clearwater Building. Meanwhile, the City Center Plaza project began pushing more VRT buses over to Idaho Street, but retailers “experienced conflicts between shoppers and transit riders,” according to the Capital City Development Corporation. VRT considered a number of other options, including Bannock Street (which did not meet ADA requirements); Ninth Street (which saw bus mirrors being knocked off by delivery trucks because of the narrow fit); and Grove Street (which is too far away from Idaho Street for riders to make connections). Ultimately, VRT has decided to relocate the buses to the front of City Hall for the remainder of the City Center Plaza construction. The shift is expected to be official on Monday, Nov. 24. Originally, CCDC had expected to complete more than a half-million dollars in streetscape improvements for the front of City Hall, as part of the City Hall plaza renovation. That project has been postponed until August 2016 at the earliest. —George Prentice 8 | OCTOBER 22–28, 2014 | BOISEWEEKLY

Wrapping up his Oct. 16 presentation to the Boise Parks and Recreation Board of Commissioners, Land Trust of the Treasure Valley Executive Director Tim Breuer played the part of a wedding ofÀciant: “I present to you, the Hillside Hollow Master Plan. You may kiss the bride,” he said. To the Land Trust and myriad Foothills users, the project—improving a recently acquired stretch of Boise Foothills from Hillside Junior High to Bogus Basin Road—may be as pretty as a bride on her wedding day. The area includes more than 300 acres, 59 of them purchased by the Land Trust back in 2011 and the rest purchased by the city of Boise in 2013. Once the land was protected from future development, managers had a big decision to make: what to do with the property. The city, partnering with the Land Trust, took a unique approach to the process and opened the decision to Foothills users. Two public meetings earlier this year drew nearly 150 people, who rolled up their sleeves and mapped out which trails should stay, which could go and where new trails could expand. The Parks and Rec Department sent out its own survey, which received 400 responses. Wendy Larimore, with Parks and Rec, told commissioners that 90 percent of those who access the Hillside to Hollow area are older than 30. She added, 60 percent use the Hillside to Hollow area once a week and half of those use it daily. “There’s a lot of ownership there,” she said. Three-quarters of Hillside to Hollow users

go on foot and 70 percent of them bring along a dog. Only 16 percent wanted to see the area designated as on-leash only. But some had far-fetched expectations, like “keeping all the trails and putting a Starbucks on top,” as Larimore put it. Others came back wanting to see nothing changed—the “if it’s not broke, don’t Àx it” attitude. Ultimately, the city and Land Trust said they couldn’t be happier. “The fact that we spent a lot of time listening to citizens and allowing them to show what their ideas were helped a lot,” Breuer told Boise Weekly. “It’s what helped us get the product at the end that we might not have achieved on our own. The bottom line: It’s the citizens’ land.” The Ànal product is not dramatically different from the current web of trails. The Buena Vista Trail, which overlooks downtown Boise and Bogus Basin, remains untouched. A trailhead kiosk and small parking area will be installed on Ussery Street off Hill Road. A new trail will meander along the Quail Hollow Golf Course and wrap around to the Ussery Street trailhead.

A small number of trails will close—those with a steepness grade of 10 percent—but that’s because those trails are not as popular, they’re difÀcult to maintain and are subject to erosion. When the meeting opened for public testimony, only one woman stepped up, representing the Central Foothills Neighborhood Association. She praised the master plan, but also urged the city to take steps that will continue to preserve more open space in the Foothills. Boise Parks and Rec Director Doug Holloway thanked everyone involved in the public process, saying it saved “hours” of testimony during the commissioners meeting. The master plan passed with only two amendments—to revisit the plan in 10 years, and to write out a statement of collaboration in maintaining the trails with the Land Trust. With that, both the parks commissioners and Land Trust board voted yes, and closed the meeting with a round of applause. “This area is dear to many people’s hearts,” Larimore said.

Only Jaurena pushed back against what he claimed was an overblown constituency. 7 “Even a city like Seattle only has about 5 percent of its people riding bikes,” he said. Jaurena may want to check those numbers. Recent census counts indicate that Seattle’s cycling community is closer to 20 percent. It’s possible that Jaurena was confusing people who commute exclusively via bicycle with the overall cycling population, which is easily in the double digits, but Jaurena insisted on sticking with his 5 percent Àgure. “ACHD’s primary responsibility is to provide

for the 95 percent of the people, and that’s what we’re going to do,” he added. Given his stance on issues like bike lanes, Jaurena shouldn’t be terribly surprised to learn that Conservation Voters for Idaho wants him out of ofÀce. “You’ve read the news. Many of these ACHD disputes are knee-jerk Àghts that never make it to a policy-making conversation,” said CVI Executive Director John Reuter. “Supporting [Jaurena opponent] Kent Goldthorpe was an easy decision for us. And we think it’s pretty interesting that we’re endorsing a longtime Republican like Gold-

thorpe [current GOP chair of Idaho Legislative District No. 22] and a longtime Democrat like Paul Woods for the other ACHD seat.” “People are just tired of the inÀghting,” said Reuter. “We sense that voters correctly understand that ACHD leadership has to help our community solve quality-of-life issues.” Boise Weekly checked with ofÀcials at the Ada County elections ofÀce, who reported that a near-record level of absentee ballots and a healthy turnout of early voters bodes well for a betterthan-average turnout for this year’s election—certainly more than 20,000.

DEBORAH SILVER

The Democratic challenger for Idaho State Treasurer GEORGE PRENTICE Deborah Silver, 58, never considered herself to be political—that is until she had a brother on the front lines of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. And she never considered running for ofÀce—that is until she says scandal soiled the Idaho State Treasurer’s OfÀce. Now, she and her husband of 38 years, LeRoy Hayes, are crisscrossing Idaho in the Ànal days of a campaign to unseat Ron Crane, who has controlled the treasurer’s ofÀce since his Àrst electoral victory in 1998. “The only way to Àre this treasurer is with your vote,” said Silver in an Oct. 16 debate with Crane. And Silver, who has partnered with her husband of nearly 30 years in a Magic Valley accounting Àrm, says she has the ideal combination of experience and tenacity to take over as treasurer.

You and your husband have been personal and professional partners for quite some time now. Do you have an idea of how many tax forms that you’ve processed? Oh my, no. Tens of thousands, at least.

And when did you come to the realization that you should challenge Ron Crane? It was this past spring. Do you remember, at the height of his scandals, Crane said go ahead and read the audit [an independent state DXGLW FRQFOXGHG WKDW &UDQH·V RIÀFH KDG ´LQDSSURpriately transferred investments … resulting in a disproportionate share of investment losses incurred by the state”]. Well, I’m an accountant so I was deÀnitely going to read that audit. I was appalled… absolutely appalled. I promise you that if a Democrat was in that ofÀce, the Legislature would never have allowed this. It’s one thing to be upset. But you made a pretty big decision to challenge an incumbent. I honestly thought Republicans would have run someone else, but they didn’t. I decided this could not be allowed to continue. Did you have a sense of how considerable it would be to mount a statewide campaign? My husband is working seven days a week to cover my clients. And the money? I’ve raised money for Twin Falls Democrats before. But this is a much bigger task. You and I know that radio, television, full-page newspaper ads and glossy mailings are quite expensive. It would be great to raise millions, but that’s not realistic. I’m not going have the kind of money Ron Crane has; but I have the truth. And what’s the message you hear on the campaign trail? That voters aren’t crazy about incumbents.

a Democrat, but I think there’s a huge middle ground. And anyone paying attention to this race is looking for a change. Allowing his kind of behavior in public ofÀce hurts every other public servant. The fact that we’re not holding him accountable is especially disturbing and besmirches every public spirit. How would you best characterize your investment strategies? I’m extremely conservative in the truest sense of the word. But Idaho traditionally has a healthy amount of money to invest on a daily basis. But you don’t risk the principal. When you invest your own money, you can have some risk. When you’re investing someone else’s money, everything is different. What’s the one big question you present to Ron Crane in any candidate forums? “What were you thinking? Your ofÀce inappropriately transferred investments from the Local Government Pool [public monies from cities, highway, school, sewer and water districts] to the Idle Pool [public monies that don’t need to be spent immediately], resulting in a disproportionate share of investment losses incurred by the state” [auditors noted that the losses were nearly $17 million]. When Idaho’s county treasurers meet, they always insist that you should never risk taxpayers’ money. That’s how the state treasurer must act. Do you think there should have been a formal ethics investigation from the Legislature? I haven’t thought about that. But you know what? A lot of this is character. You shouldn’t have to tell anyone at this level that they shouldn’t have done these things. He’s been called “Crafty Crane,” and I get that. He always wants to talk about something else. It’s admit nothing, deny everything and make counter-accusations. How critical will voter turnout be to your campaign? It’s a challenge; but it’s my only path to victory.

Did you grow up around politics? Not particularly. I actually thought I was a Republican for much of my adult life. That is until about 10 years ago.

I’m not sure if that’s true. We have a tendency to re-elect incumbents at a pretty good clip. But when I tell people that Crane has been there for 16 years, they’re stunned. Even Republicans are saying it’s wrong. Having a Democrat in that ofÀce would be quite healthy; I promise you that a Republican Legislature would keep an eye on things.

The George W. Bush era? I had family on the front line. My brother was in Iraq and I thought there was a rush to war, but the only people willing to have a

What’s your level of energy in the ﬁnal days of the campaign? Sometimes I feel like a teenager. I get very excited about this.

RON CRANE

The Republican incumbent for Idaho state treasurer GEORGE PRENTICE Ron Crane will turn 67 years old on Sunday, Nov. 2. But he may be a bit too busy to celebrate; he’s in the political Àght of his career. Mind you, he’s never lost an election. He served 16 years in the Idaho House and has been repeatedly re-elected as Idaho state treasurer since 1998. But through many of those years, he rarely had opposition. Media reports of alleged scandal swirled around his ofÀce in the past few years, beginning with the use of stretch limos in Manhattan on several occasions (three trips in 2009, 2010 and 2011 racked up $10,000 in limo expenses); using a state credit card to put fuel in his personal vehicle (Crane insisted that he was saving tax dollars by turning in his state car); and a blistering state audit that said Crane’s ofÀce had “inappropriately transferred investments … resulting in a disproportionate share of investment losses incurred by the state.” Boise Weekly sat down with Crane in his Statehouse ofÀce to talk about the scandals, his campaign and his political roots. Were you always political? I remember, as a boy, crying the night that John Kennedy defeated Richard Nixon [in 1960] because I had seen Nixon come to Boise. I was heartbroken. I loved Ronald Reagan, so in 1980, I went down to Republican headquarters and asked “What can I do?” A short time later, I was a precinct committeeman. In 1983, I was fortunate to be appointed to the Idaho House, representing Canyon County for 16 years. It’s pretty amazing to me to look back and think about the Àrst time I sat in the Legislature. I was 34 years old. How was your ﬁrst election in the early 1980s, compared to today’s political climate? BOI S EW EEKLY.COM

I remember my Àrst session in the Legislature. I saw two veterans—a Republican and Democrat—really going after each other vociferously, a real heated debated. But when we adjourned, they met in the middle aisle, quite literally, and went off to lunch together. That spoke volumes to me, but that’s very different than today. Would you agree that there’s a ﬁght for the heart for the Republican Party? I think it’s overemphasized by the media. You’ll notice that I didn’t have a primary opponent this year. I get along very well with the conservative and moderate factions of the party. Are Idaho assets still hovering around $2.7 billion? Closer to $3 billion What would you tell a voter who has concerns about your ofﬁce’s investment strategies? The LSO [/HJLVODWLYH 6HUYLFH 2IÀFH] audit’s critique centered around seven securities that we purchased for our portfolio in 2005, 2006 and 2007. There were mortgage-backed securities and traditionally, they’re good investments. Those mortgages are usually bundled and sold on the secondary market. But anyone knows what happened in 2008 when that market nearly fell off a cliff. The value of those securities went down by about $80 million. Now, if we had sold those securities, we would have realized those losses. The LSO audit report suggested that we should have sold them and divided the loss between the Local Government Investment Pool and the Idle Pool. But we held those securities through 2013 and they came back in value. Are you saying that there were no losses? That’s correct. There wasn’t a dime of principal that was lost. But we did lose opportunity money. By 2013, this ofÀce had enough interest earnings and portfolio gains that we took Àve of those securities out of the portfolio and there was still about a proÀt of about $122,000. We still have two more securities in the portfolio, and as of today, they’re still about $10 million down. So, I’m assuming that you’ll continue to sit on those two remaining securities. Exactly. The same thing happened with our endowment fund when it went down in value.

We didn’t sell, rode out the storm and now they’re doing quite well. We’ve heard that you thought that the legislative audit had political motivation behind it. That’s right. I would prefer not to go on record with what my full opinion is; but I assume it was politically motivated. Do you read the daily paper? The one in Nampa [Idaho Press-Tribune]. Then, let me read a bit of what the Idaho Statesman wrote in July. Basically, they said your position should not be an elected ofﬁce. I’m not surprised. Let’s talk about your now-infamous trips to New York and limousine rides. I’m tasked with getting anywhere from eight to 10 people from a midtown hotel down to Wall Street. It’s an annual trip, each June, where we sell tax anticipation notes. Many of us have traveled through Manhattan and realize that there are several options, including public transportation But the cheapest, most efÀcient way, instead of taking four cabs, was to put them all in one vehicle: a limousine. The previous treasurer told me that that the cheapest way was to use a limousine. That was Lydia Justice Edwards [1987-1998] who did it that way, and the treasurer before her, Marjorie Ruth Moon [1963-1986], a Democrat, did it that way. Are you implying that you got nailed because of political motivation? Of course. It was great for headlines. So, since 2011, I started using SUVs that cost more than the limo service ever did. What a minute. That’s wrong. No, because perception dictated to me that I had to do something different. Otherwise I would have continued to be cruciÀed. To be clear, it’s costing us more for you not to use a limousine and instead use an SUV? That’s right. That’s ridiculous. My point all along. Are you sticking with that policy to use SUVs? For the time being. I just couldn’t get past the perception that the media created. They don’t care about saving taxpayer dollars. They care about headlines. BOISEWEEKLY | OCTOBER 22–28, 2014 | 11

BEHIND EVERY MAN Women spend more time behind the scenes in Idaho politics BY JESSICA MURRI

Judy Gowen, campaign manager for Congressman Raul Labrador: “I like competition and this is the ultimate.”

hawn Keough is used to being the only female in the room. If you’re going to be a woman in Idaho politics, you better be used to it. Keough, a Republican state senator for District 1— which encompasses Bonner and Boundary counties in Northern Idaho—is currently running for her 10th term in ofÀce. Sitting alongside her in the Idaho Senate are 29 men—and Àve women. Keough is in her element there. With a long career as executive director of the Associated Logging Contractors, she’s not fazed by a lack of fellow females in the Senate Chamber. “Logging and forestry is also a male-dominated industry,” Keough said. “The Senate isn’t really any different.” She sees her role in the Statehouse as an important one because she brings another viewpoint. “I can’t remember the whole thing with Venus and Mars, but having different perspectives is really important,” she said. “Especially if we want to represent Idaho better. Women are underrepresented.” Keough hasn’t gotten through her 18 years in the Idaho Legislature without gritting her teeth, however. She took a lot of criticism for running her campaign with young children at home. Once in the Statehouse, in 1996, her presence raised some eyebrows. “The strongest comment was, ‘How does your husband allow you to do this, or put up with this?’” she said. “My husband was actually asked by another legislator once, ‘How come you let her come here?’” With short, cropped hair and a knack for stirring up her party, Keough raised an eyebrow right back. “I usually try to laugh at myself and afÀrm that I understand the concern,” she said. This is where Keough assures her presumptuous colleagues that her husband is a teacher and her boys all go to school and come home together. She calls every night.

“I am not a wealthy person,” she said. “I have always had to work to make ends meet and help provide for my family. I share that responsibility with my husband, so staying home was never something I could ever do.” Women make up only 17 percent of the Idaho Senate and 30 percent of the state’s House of Representatives—not far from the breakdown of the United States Congress, which is 20 percent female in the Senate and 18 percent in the House of Representatives. Despite that, Keough says she is still surrounded by women. Whether they’re lobbyists, administrators or campaign managers, women are working the system from the outside in—with more inÁuence than Idaho voters may realize.

IN ONE SEAT OR THE OTHER

Taped next to China Gum’s packed wall calendar hang several drawings from her kids. A family photo sits on her desk next to a handful of DoTERRA essential oils and a framed certiÀcate of appreciation from the Republican Party. Gum is the president of Inside Baseball Public Affairs, a consultancy and think-tank for statewide and national policymakers. Gum hasn’t hired a man to work for her. Gum isn’t the only one trending toward hiring women, though. She said women are running campaigns for Holli Woodings, running for secretary of state; A.J. Balukoff, running for governor; and congressional candidates Jim Risch, Raul Labrador and Bryan Smith. “As far as top of the ticket, that’s incredible,” she said. “Women get things done. Women are really good at getting in there and executing.” Gum likes to see women running these campaigns because she said they’re doing more than handing out bumper stickers and posting yard signs. Even if they’re not running for ofÀce themselves, she said they’re having an inÁuence.

“Here’s what I think is so awesome about women running campaigns. When we run campaigns, we put together the platform. We help politicians communicate their message, and once they’re elected, voters hold them accountable for the promises that they made while running for ofÀce,” she said. She added that the relationship between the campaign manager and the legislator doesn’t end once the campaign is over. When Gum ran Labrador’s campaign in 2010, she remembers him calling her once he got to Congress and asking her to look up past speeches, making sure he was holding true to the promises he made. When it came to writing those platforms, Gum used inspiration from her own life and issues that inÁuence her—her perspectives seeped into Labrador’s campaign. She said having the ear of a congressman doesn’t hurt, either. In this election, it’s Judy Gowen that has Labrador’s ear. The 25-year-old dresses sharp, in a black blazer and a jeweled statement necklace—smartphone in hand, paper coffee cup nearby. “I like competition and this is the ultimate,” she told Boise Weekly. She works 12-hour days helping to re-elect Labrador, including traveling the state on a four-day bus tour with the congressman. Gowen discovered politics at a young age. In high school, she used to tell her friends she’d be the Àrst female president. She moved to Florida after graduating from Boise State University and started volunteering for the Mitt Romney campaign in 2011. Within a year, she was hired as the director of operations for Romney’s statewide campaign in Florida. After that, she went on to the Republican National Committee, then came back to Idaho to work as the political director for Meridian Republican Sen. Russ Fulcher’s unsuccessful primary run against incumbent Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter. Now, she’s working for Labrador. She doesn’t doubt she has some sway. “Going back to Russ Fulcher, it was basically China and I running that whole campaign and we were able to secure four of the B O I S E WE E KLY. C O M

were Republicans in districts trending Democrat.” The biggest struggle Gum said women have to overcome when running for ofÀce is the “work/life balance.” For example, Gum got up at 5 a.m. on Tuesday morning, did some work, got her kids up at 6:30 a.m., made them breakfast, got STAYING BEHIND THE CURTAIN them to school by 7:45 a.m., went to the gym and then dove into Despite having some of the brightest minds in Idaho politics, work. many women are staying out of the spotlight. They’re opting for “I’m always thinking, ‘I need to get back to my laptop. Where’s jobs surrounding those legislative seats—whether running cammy phone?’ It’s hard to Ànd time for yourself in there. It’s almost paigns, lobbying or working in Statehouse ofÀces. impossible.” Keough said women have been driven into those jobs on the After work, Gum had a gap between meetings just long enough sidelines, rather than stepping directly into the political arena, to make some dinner for her kids and husband—orange chicken. because of society’s pressures. “Then I’m, like, trying to teach my kids to eat something green, “I don’t want to sound stereotypical, but I feel like the role in so I put peas in with the rice, you know, and said, ‘OK, gotta go.’” our society for a long time is the woman runs the house, takes There are sacriÀces. She missed guitar lessons. She didn’t eat care of the smaller details, the details behind the scenes,” she said. dinner with her family. She said it’s easier for men to get up, go for a “If I go to a function, it’s not unlike me to start helping clear dishes and pick stuff up off the Áoor.

She refuses to let it get in her way. “I have people ask me if I need to go home [during a camsupportive role that we have had fostered in us. It’s a more natural paign]. They’ll say, ‘Oh, I’m sorry, it’s 4:30, do you need to go pick place, a more comfortable place than actually stepping out and up your kids? Oh, China, you probably have to go.’ I actually did running for ofÀce.” have to leave, but now I’m staying to prove a point,” she said. After Gum worked 60 or 80 hours a week “ THAT ’S A C L E A R E X A M P L E O F HOW TWO leading up to Election Day in 2010, Labrador won his campaign. He called Gum into his ofW OMEN R U N NI N G T HE S HOW M A DE A Àce and asked her what she’d like to do next.

He hired a congressional staff without her. Gowen doesn’t have the same restraints. She has a Àancp, three “Women have to be asked six times to run for ofÀce,” Gum dogs and a passion for hiking. She’s not yet ready to run against the said. “For some reason, we don’t look at ourselves in the mirror men she helps manage campaigns for, but she’s certainly not ruling and say, ‘Why not me? Why can’t I be a candidate?’ Women need it out down the road. to start looking themselves in the mirror and saying, ‘Why not me? “I believe that to represent people, you have to have some expeWhy not now?’ Because once we say, ‘OK, me,’ then we say, ‘But rience,” she said. “Being 25, I feel like I haven’t experienced enough not now, because I have kids. I’ve got a busy job.’ It’s never now. It to be able to make decisions for other people.” never works.” She has no doubt that Idaho voters wouldn’t hesitate to vote Even when women like Keough step up to the plate and go for public ofÀce, Gum said it’s a challenge like no other job interview— for a woman if she’s the right candidate, but Gowen does feel she’s treated a little differently on the campaign trail. There’s one thing one that’s not attractive to most. that “kind of ” annoys her. “You live in a Àshbowl,” she said. “[Women in the Statehouse] “It’s happened in both the Russ Fulcher and Raul Labrador get raked over the coals. Opponent research is a huge, huge, huge campaigns, where I’m with the candidate, doing the exact same deal in campaigns, so if the person opposing you has an awesome work that any of the candidate’s male staffers would be doing, but research team, it doesn’t matter if you’re a male or female, you’re I’m asked, ‘Are you the wife or the daughter of the candidate?’ I say, going to be in trouble. You’re going to be on the defense.” ‘Nope, would you like a bumper sticker?’” she said. “I’ve never seen Gum said the Idaho Legislature used to have more women, but anyone say, ‘Oh, you brought your son along?’” many lost re-election in the past decade. Gum, on the other hand, knows she’ll never run. She said she “Those women felt like they were targeted because they were sees what these candidates go through and she’s not about to put women,” she said. “But I think they were vulnerable because they biggest counties that Governor Otter had a hold on for so long,” Gowen said. “That’s a clear example of how two women running the show made a big, big difference.”

herself out there like that. There’s a deeper reason, too. “I’m a principled person,” she said, “but I have positions that evolve and when you’re running for ofÀce, people like to know exactly who they’re voting for. I think I’m still growing in a lot of ways. It’s not me and it’s not ever.”

YES, ME; YES, NOW

While Gum and Gowen shy away from the political spotlight for now, a woman named Shirley Ringo is striving to be close to dead center. The Moscow Democrat has held a seat in the Idaho House of Representatives for 14 years. Now she’s left her seat to run for Congress against Labrador. If elected, her territory would stretch from Canada to Nevada. She’s spending almost every waking hour on her campaign to make that happen. Boise Weekly sat down with Ringo at the height of her campaign, while she visited Boise to participate in an evening debate with Labrador on KTVB. The morning after, she expressed frustration over the event. Throughout the debate, which aired Oct. 14, Ringo would answer a question and after she Ànished speaking, Labrador would Àre back with comments like, “What a naive answer,” or, “What she really means is—this—which will be bad for the state of Idaho.” “I felt like the timer applied only to me,” she said. Ringo said she felt steamrolled by Labrador in the debate, and she admits the incumbent has many more resources than she could ever hope for to take the seat as her own—but she’s not in the race just to win. “A few years ago, if you walked down the hallways of the lower level of the Capitol building and you looked at those photos of past legislatures, you’d notice they are quite male-heavy,” she said. “I have two battles really, one is being a minority as a woman, and the other is being a more noticeable minority as a Democrat. But I feel like Idaho is entirely too unbalanced to be effective. The majority party just has to go aside, have a discussion about what they want, come back out and it’s a done deal. Ideas don’t get a sufÀcient airing before decision are made, and I think you lose transparency. It really hurts the system to be this one-sided. I think in part, it’s because Idahoans never hear both sides of the story.” Ringo has no problem making her views known on any issue. As for her campaign, it’s also run by a woman—her daughter. “We’re traveling together and exploring our relationship together,” Ringo said with a smile. “Sometimes we yell at each other, but it’s been great. It’s been a special time in our lives.” Gowen, with Labrador’s campaign, said she’s enjoying the competition Ringo provides. She also enjoys her role opposite Ringo—behind the scenes. “I think women are Àlling these roles a lot more than they used to,” Gowen said. “That may be the Àrst step.”

ONE CHANCE SCREENING: BENEFIT FOR BOISE GAY MEN’S CHORUS When Welsh singer Paul Potts stepped onto the stage during the first season of Britain’s Got Talent (2007), none of the thousands watching could know he would go on to win the competition and become a world-renowned opera singer. In One Chance, James Corden (Begin Again, Gavin and Stacey) portrays Potts, a retail clerk who had dreamed of singing opera since he was a small boy growing up—and getting beaten up—in Wales. He felt Britain’s Got Talent might just be his once chance… he was right.

THIRD ANNUAL HORRIFIC PUPPET AFFAIR

ORPHEUS AND EURYDICE

In the 1989 horror film Puppet Master, puppets imbued with the souls of victims of Nazi persecution attack a group of psychics. By 1989 standards, it’s a pretty grizzly movie, but what makes it upsetting—what makes anything involving puppets upsetting—is the prospect of them breaking from their strings. It’s time to cut loose from your fear of effigies for the third annual Horrific Puppet Affair, brought to you by HomeGrown Theatre. Fridays and Saturdays, Oct. 24-25 and Oct. 31-Nov. 1, swing by Woodland Empire Ale Craft, pony up $5 and get terrified by six short tales, including from local writers Heidi Kraay, Dakotah Brown, Erin Chancer, Chad Ethan Shohet, Jamie Nebeker, Jon E. Waters and Declan Kempe. 8 p.m. $5. Woodland Empire, 1114 W. Front St., Boise, facebook.com/hgtheatre.

FRANK MADDOCKS

Punk and folk-country have been linked in surprising ways over the years. Joe Strummer took his original nickname from Woody Guthrie. Hank Williams III switches between old-school honky-tonk and pulverizing hardcore. Even Johnny Rotten once called himself a folk musician in an interview. Austin Lucas, a musician based in Bloomington, Ind., walks the line between punk and country. His father, bluegrass musician Bob Lucas, has had his songs covered by Alison Krauss and Union Station. Austin played in punk and hardcore bands for many years before returning to his roots. His albums have earned attention from publications ranging from PunkNews.org to American Songwriter, the latter of which made Lucas’ most recent album, Stay Reckless, available for streaming in August 2013. Whether you wear a Mohawk or cowboy boots, you’ll be welcome. If you have both, all the better. —Ben Schultz

RADIO BOISE SOCIAL HOUR: DJ FRANKENBRYAN—5:30 p.m. FREE. Neurolux

Arrests, fights, lineup changes and substance abuse are often part of a hard-rock band’s story. The history of Eyehategod, one of the biggest bands to come out of the Southern sludge metal scene, has had far more than its share of these but in spite of the turmoil, the New Orleans-based band is still going strong. In May, Eyehategod released its first full-length album in 14 years. Pitchfork’s Kim Kelly gave the self-titled release an 8.0 and raved that “the fact that it is so damn great is simply extraordinary.” Not bad for a band that has gone through at least five bassists; seen its lead singer, Mike Williams, jailed on drug charges; split and reformed several times; and, most recently, suffered the loss of its co-founder, drummer Joey LaCaze, to respiratory failure. See the band while you can; you never know how long it’ll be around. —Ben Schultz

WINESIPPER SOUTHERN RHONES

2010 CHATEAU DE SEGRIES LIRAC, $23 Lirac is a small appellation bordered by the rose-producing region of Tavel. The de Segries offers smoky blueberry, soft oak and fresh basil on the nose. The palate is a rich mix of dark cherry, bramble berry and ripe plum flavors with hints of black pepper and anise. Toast and smooth tannins come through on the finish. 2012 OGIER COTESDU-RHONE HERITAGES, $13.99 This entry-level red from a top Chateauneufdu-Pape house opens with subtle-but-complex aromas of berries, rose petals, dried herbs, cedar, oak and a touch of cigar. It’s a well-balanced wine with a tangy core of cherry colored by mocha and spice, and a sweet floral finish. This wine is a definite best buy. 2009 E. Guigal Gigondas, $31 In the hands of a masterful domaine like Guigal, Gigondas can produce wines of both power and finesse, but such quality comes at a price. Here, the wine’s cherry liqueur aromas are backed by earthy touches of hickory and licorice. Creamy red fruit flavors dominate, marked by smooth tannins and a long silky finish. This wine will improve with time in the bottle. If you’re drinking it now, you’ll want to decant. —David Kirkpatrick 20 | OCTOBER 22–28, 2014 | BOISEWEEKLY

K ELS EY HAW ES

When it comes to red wine in the northern appellations of France’s Rhone wine region, solo syrah rules. Farther south, grenache takes the lead and is typically blended with syrah and mourvedre, as well as cinsault and carignan. The result is an easy-drinking, fruitforward wine with food-friendly acidity, perfect for the cooler fall weather and the hearty meals of the season. Here are the panel’s top Southern Rhone picks:

‘TXOTX!’ Cider Flows at Basque sagardotegi dinner TARA MORGAN Basque cider is an acquired taste. The murky, honey-hued liquid washes over your tongue with a watery hint of apples that quickly dissolves into a lingering sour funk. Unlike most commercially available American cider, which is more like Àzzy apple soda pop, Basque cider is still and meant to be savored with food. That’s where the Basque ciderhouse, or sagardotegi, comes in. At these ciderhouses, clustered chieÁy in the towns of the Gipuzkoa province outside San Sebastian, revelers gather at long wood tables to sip cider and snack on protein-heavy snacks, like cod omelets, steak and cheese. When a cidermaster calls “Txotx!” (pronounced “choach”), cider-swillers swarm the barrels, where streams of cider spew into thin tumblers held a few feet below. The process is said to aerate the cider but it also adds to the messy merriment. On Oct. 18, Boise’s Basque Center was transformed into a sagardotegi to raise money for the Oinkari Basque Dancers. A line of locals queued outside the building, eager to pick up glasses emblazoned with the word “txotx” and Àll them with two-Ànger glugs of Bereziartua brand cider. As the Bereziartua website explains: “The tumbler should be Àlled with an amount corresponding to the width of two Àngers, and the cider has to be drunk immediately. Only the amount that is to be drunk in one gulp is poured into the tumbler.”

Lael Uberuaga expertly ﬁlls a sagardotegi-goer’s glass with a glug of traditional Basque cider.

At the Basque Center, a crowd of cider-sippers clustered around a façade made to look like wooden barrels with two spouts streaming cider. One person held their glass under the rivulet while another crouched below to catch the stream when the Àrst person walked away. This delicate dance continued throughout the evening, even as plates of croquetas began to appear on the tables. Following in the sagardotegi tradition, the main meal featured family-style platters of Tortilla de Bacalao, salt cod omelets Áecked with red peppers and served with toasted bread; Bacalao al Pil Pil, skin-on cod chunks bathed in a garlic, green pepper and onion sauce; Txuleton, rare slices of tender steak; and manchego with walnuts and membrillo, a pink jelly made from tart quince.

As the dishes were passed from hand to hand around the tightly packed long tables, cider conversation started to spill forth. While one man enthused, “I think the cider with the steak is even better than with the codÀsh; it’s perfect,” his neighbor, who emigrated to Boise from Bilbao in the 1960s, shook his head. “I don’t like it; I drank too much when I was young.” In the background, a handful of performers played the txalaparta, a wooden percussive instrument traditionally used in the Basque Country to summon the neighbors to drink cider. In this case, no one needed to be summoned. Thirsty cider lovers were already gathered around the spigots: clinking their tumblers, draining their glasses and heading back for another splash.

FOOD/NEWS CONFERENCES AND OPENINGS Food advocates from across the state will convene at the Riverside Hotel Tuesday, Oct. 28, for the 2014 Idaho Summit on Hunger and Food Security, put on by the Idaho Hunger Relief Task Force.

Bilbo Baggins. Viserys Targaryen. Katniss Everdeen. Cthulhu. Zaphod Beeblebrox. Where the hell do fantasy authors come up with these names? If we were to guess, we’d say varying amalgamations of weed, red wine, valium, morphine and scotch played a role. To write like the greats without succumbing to substance abuse, might we suggest using the aptly named Fantasy Name Generator at rinkworks.com. There, the budding fantasy writer can ﬁll a world with all the tongue-twisting denizens he or she needs to slay the beast, seize the throne, topple the dictatorship, hurtle into a hellscape of existential dread or navigate cosmic absurdity. The “simple” interface creates names that can be short, rinkworks.com/namegen medium or long; consonant or vowel heavy; or include apostrophes or dashes. The “advanced” interface lives up to its name (pardon the pun), allowing users to build naming templates. For instance, typing in the code BVC will render a name with a consonant or consonant combo followed by a vowel or vowel combo and ending with another consonant or consonant combination. Examples: Teynd, Braiq, Rhourr and Chaick. The code s’vCv will spit out a single syllable followed by an apostrophe followed by vowels alternating with consonants: Ryn’yphe, Vor’onu, Dar’isto. Some templates get even more elaborate, but there’s a detailed instruction page to help turn code like ss(ly|ily|ish|ing) into Ghaustish, Veraughly or Rakmoring. On second thought, it would be easier to go the George Martin route and crack a bottle of Night Train. —Zach Hagadone B O ISE W E E KLY.C O M

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): The driest place on Earth is the Atacama Desert in northern Chile. It gets about a half-inch of rain per year. Yet in 2011, archaeologists discovered that it’s also home to a site containing the fossilized skeletons of numerous whales and other ancient sea creatures. I’m detecting a metaphorically comparable anomaly in your vicinity, Aries. A seemingly arid, empty part of your life harbors buried secrets that are available for you to explore. If you follow the clues, you may discover rich pickings that will inspire you to revise your history. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Businessman Warren Buffet is worth $65.5 billion, but regularly gives away 27 percent of his fortune to charity. Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates owns $78 billion, and donates 36 percent. Then there are the members of the Walton family, owners of Walmart, where 100 million Americans shop weekly. The Waltons have $136 billion, of which they contribute .04 percent to good causes. You are not wealthy in the same way these people are, Taurus. Your riches consist of resources like your skills, relationships, emotional intelligence, creative power and capacity for love. My invitation to you is to be extra generous with those assets—not as lavish as Buffet or Gates, perhaps, but

much more than the Waltons. You are in a phase when giving your gifts is one of the best things you can do to bolster your own health, wealth and wellbeing. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You have two options. You can be in denial about your real feelings and ignore what needs to be fixed and wait for trouble to come find you. Or else you can vow to be resilient and summon your feistiest curiosity and go out searching for trouble. The difference between these two approaches is dramatic. If you mope and sigh and hide, the messy trouble that arrives will be indigestible. But if you are brave and proactive, the interesting trouble you get will ultimately evolve into a blessing. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Astronauts on the International Space Station never wash their underwear. They don’t have enough water at their disposal to waste on a luxury like that. Instead, they fling the dirty laundry out into space. As it falls to Earth, it burns up in the atmosphere. I wish you had an amenity like that right now. In fact, I wish you had a host of amenities like that. If there was ever a time when you should be liberated from having to wash your underwear, make your bed, sweep the floor and do the dishes, it would be now. Why? Because there are much better ways to spend your

26 | OCTOBER 22–28, 2014 | BOISEWEEKLY

time. You’ve got sacred quests to embark on, heroic adventures to accomplish, historic turning points to initiate. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): What are those new whisperings in your head? Are they messages from your inner teacher? Beacons beamed back through time from the Future You? Clues from the wise parts of your unconscious mind? Whatever they are, Leo, pay attention. These signals from the Great Beyond may not be clear yet, but if you are sufficiently patient, they will eventually tell you how to take advantage of a big plot twist. But here’s a caveat: Don’t automatically believe every single thing the whisperings tell you. Their counsel may not be 100 percent accurate. Be both receptive and discerning toward them. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In the English-speaking world, a sundae is a luxurious dessert that features ice cream topped with sweet treats like syrup, sprinkles and fruits. In Korea, a sundae is something very different. It consists of a cow’s or pig’s intestines crammed with noodles, barley and pig’s blood. I expect that in the coming week you will be faced with a decision that has metaphorical similarities to the choice between a sundae and a sundae. Make sure you are quite clear about the true nature of each option.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The average serving of pasta on a typical American’s plate is almost 480 percent bigger than what’s recommended as a healthy portion. So says a research paper titled The Contribution of Expanding Portion Sizes to the U.S. Obesity Epidemic, by Lisa R. Young and Marion Nestle. Muffins are 333 percent larger than they need to be, the authors say, and steaks are 224 percent excessive. Don’t get caught up in this trend, Libra. Get what you need, but not way, way more than what you need. For that matter, be judicious in your approach to all of life’s necessities. The coming phase is a time when you will thrive by applying the Goldilocks principle: neither too much nor too little, but just right. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Children are the most desirable opponents at Scrabble,” declares Scorpio author Fran Lebowitz, “as they are both easy to beat and fun to cheat.” I don’t wholeheartedly endorse that advice for you in the coming days, Scorpio. But would you consider a milder version of it? Let’s propose, instead, that you simply seek easy victories to boost your confidence and hone your skills. By this time next week, if all goes well, you will be ready to take on more ambitious challenges.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.21): You are entering a phase when you will have more luck than usual as you try to banish parasitic influences, unworthy burdens and lost causes. Here are some projects you might want to work on: 1. bid farewell to anyone who brings out the worst in you; 2. heal the twisted effect an adversary has had on you; 3. get rid of any object that symbolizes failure or pathology; 4. declare your independence from a situation that wastes your time or drains your resources; 5. shed any guilt you feel for taking good care of yourself; 6. stop a bad habit cold turkey. CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19): Are you ready to be as affable as a Sagittarius, as charismatic as a Leo, as empathetic as a Cancerian and as vigorous an instigator as an Aries? No? You’re not? You’re afraid that would require you to push yourself too far outside your comfort zone? OK, then. Are you willing to be half as affable as a Sagittarius, half as charismatic as a Leo, half as empathetic as a Cancerian and half as inspiring an instigator as an Aries? Or even a quarter as much? I hope you will at least stretch yourself in these directions, Capricorn, because doing so would allow you to take maximum advantage of the spectacular social opportunities that will be available for you in the next four weeks.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In the coming weeks I hope you will find practical ways to express your new-found freedom. The explorations and experiments you’ve enjoyed recently were fun and provocative, but now it’s time to use the insights they sparked to upgrade your life. Please don’t misunderstand what I’m saying. I love it when you are dreamy and excitable and farseeing, and would never ask you to tone down those attractive qualities. But I am also rooting for you to bring the high-flying parts of you down to earth so that you can reap the full benefits of the bounty they have stirred up. If you work to become more well-grounded, I predict that you will be situated in a new power spot by Dec. 1. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The heavy metal band known as Hatebeak broadened the definition of what constitutes music. Its lead singer was Waldo, an African gray parrot. A review by Aquarius Records called Waldo’s squawks “completely and stupidly brilliant.” For Hatebeak’s second album, they collaborated with animal rights’ activists in the band Caninus, whose lead vocalists were two pitbull terriers, Basil and Budgie. In the coming weeks, Pisces, I’d love to see you get inspired by these experiments. I think you will generate interesting results as you explore expansive, even unprecedented approaches in your own chosen field. B O ISE W E E KLY.C O M
