CRIME AND PUNISHMENT IN PAYETTE COUNTY Anyone who has made it a habit to attend local government hearings knows about The Citizen. He or she is always there, sitting in the same seat, waiting to speak his or her mind about whatever is on the agenda. Is the proposed dog kennel far enough from the mother-in-law’s apartment Dirk Dirkson added to his residential A-zoned property last year? Well, The Citizen knows that Dirkson never applied for a variance to build the accessory dwelling unit, so that’s a nonconforming use and it ought to be torn down.

These people can be obnoxious, confrontational and inconvenient, but they are vital. Like the white blood cells of democracy they attack, always and everywhere, making sure that bureaucrats—no matter how petty—are held accountable.

There is a hierarchy, however: At the bottom are trolls (an Internet dwelling form of bile-based human whose opinions are less than worthless), then cranks (your compulsive letter-to-theeditor writer) and, at the top, gadÁys (those inspired few who have specialized in a narrow band of public policy and wield their public testimony time like bush-league William Jennings Bryans).

8nlike trollery or crankitude, being a gadÁy is hard and sometimes dangerous. In the case of Alma Hasse, it was downright Orwellian.

Hasse is most deÀnitely a gadÁy—a dogged critic of oil and gas exploration in 3ayette County, she has testiÀed dozens of times before any local board, commission or council that takes up the issue. On Oct. , her gadÁyism at a 3ayette County 3lanning and Zoning Commission hearing landed her in handcuffs and locked in a jail cell, where she remained for a full week.

To get more of her shocking story, read Boise Weekly News Editor George Prentice’s report on Page 8. To say “this kind of thing doesn’t happen in America” is to ignore a brutal reality: At a certain point, your elected ofÀcials would rather see you shut up in jail than expressing your opinions. If you don’t believe it, watch a video of Hasse’s arrest on boiseweekly.com. Warning: It might turn you into a gadÁy.

MAIL SIZE MATTERS Dear Editor, I would hope you will get many comments about your last sentence, first paragraph of “Editor’s Note” Nov. 12-18. [“Rep. Corn Dog (R-Idaho)”: “Of course, Republicans also took control of the United States Senate, making this the most unbalanced government since the doom-struck administrations of Warren Harding, Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover (all Republicans).”] A simple Google check of control of Congress would have kept you from making such an erroneous statement. Remember 20092011? It really wasn’t that long ago. How about 19931995? 1979-1981? 19771979? Now those were some unbalanced years with control of both chambers of Congress AND the presidency

by Democrats.

—Max Dean You’re right, Mr. Dean, that Congressional majorities and control of the executive branch have been unbalanced in Democrats’ favor on multiple occasions; however, my point is not so much the fact of majority but the size of majority. According to National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Rep. Greg Walden (R-OR), as quoted Nov. 5 by The Hill,

“We’re back to a majority as big as any of us have seen in our lifetimes. It may be a hundred-year majority.” To put a finer point on it, NRCC spokesman Daniel Scarpinato clarified that Walden’s reference to a “hundred-year majority” was that “it’s been nearly 100 years since we’ve seen a majority of this size.”

I’ll concede that I’m wrong insofar as Democratic majorities in both chambers made government more unbalanced from 1932-1940 (70-78 percent in the House and 60-79 percent in the Senate) than during the largest Republican majorities of 1920-1930 (60-69 percent in the House and up to 61 percent in the Senate). I’ll also concede that Democrats in the late 1960s and early 1980s came close to achieving majorities comparable in size to the height of Republican control during the ’20s. The point stands, however, that Republicans are in firmer control of the U.S. Congress than they have been since they presided over the beginning of the Great Depression.

What I’m bringing up will seem like a non-issue, unless one learns the significance behind the symbol. Interestingly enough, SO far, the stars on the banner of the Democrat donkey are still positioned correctly, showing one point straight upward, as traditionally seen in the American flag. Take time to check it out and compare.

Regarding the elephant banner, I’ve seen the changed configuration used quite often over the past several years. And what does it mean? Simply turning or rotating a star a few degrees, brings up two of its points, making like the ears of an animal, and I’m convinced that that was exactly the intent in the minds of certain dark, manipulative change agents at work. A little research will show that this particular positioning signifies the “Goat of Mendez,” the demon god called The Baphomet.

I don’t believe for a minute that this change has been accidental. Instead, it looks to me like there must be some very un-American demonry now operating covertly at some of the top levels of the Republican Party.

So, please don’t ignore it.

I think it’s something serious enough for every upstanding, freedom-loving Republican to look into, and demand that it be corrected immediately!

The idea lurking behind this is anything but Godly and American!

HIGH (-PRICED) SOCIETY Our story about the Idaho Humane Society’s planned

$11.5 million animal care facility—and the skeptical reaction to it among some local veterinarians—(BW, News, “Idaho Humane Society Pursues Pet Shangri-La,” Nov. 12, 2014) garnered some of its own reaction online.

Here’s a sampling: I agree with expanding at their current location, but to spend $11 million for a new facility is outrageous.

The dogs won’t notice the landscaping. That’s all for the humans. I’d rather see funds spent on free spay/neuters for those who can’t afford it. I know someone who has been to the IHS and can’t afford their spay/neuter cost. That’s ridiculous. Spay/neuter prevents unwanted puppies who may end up at IHS. I also object to their steep adoption fees. It cost us nearly $200 for a 5-month-old dog nobody wanted. She should have come home with us for a lot less. Pet adoption should cost less than a puppy from a puppy mill.

—jjm 1. This is the poorest kind of journalism where nearly 90 percent of the bad is from anonymous sources. Really?

People too afraid to speak?

Please.

2. There are too many vets in this town to the size of population, so that’s why all the bitching. They think they’re losing out on business so they want to punish the IHS, but yet they don’t offer payments on sliding scale or reduced fee spay and neuter for poor people. And if you knew how many animals would die because they can’t get a simple surgery—which none of these belly aching vets would do for free—and which are then adopted out

by IHS you’d tell your vet to donate too!

3. The price tag includes a public dog park, which this city needs more of anyway and which the Parks Department isn’t going to ever pony up for, so the IHS is including that in the plan.

4. The expanded hospital everyone is bitching about isn’t expanding to take away business from all the whiny vets. It’s going to be a teaching hospital and the first time

Idaho vet students can get credit working at a local Idaho shelter through an agreement with WSU/U of I. 5. People are gonna bitch if they spend a dime on anything other than a needy dog or cat, but the reality is it’s all funded by donors and not taxpayer money (which only pays for animal control).

JUSTICE FOR RUSTY Boise Weekly has reported extensively on conditions for homeless people living under the Americana Boulevard bridge—including a report on the tense mood following the Oct. 28 beating death of 37-year-old Rusty Bitton (BW, News, “Boise Homeless on Edge After Americana Homicide,” Nov. 12, 2014). Here’s what some commenters had to say online: I don’t see why the accused has not been charged. … Many credible witnesses have come forth to say clearly that the accused had been overheard say, “I’m going to peel your head” and took out a makeshift shank made out of a can top and sliced [the] top of his head… basically scalping… and then put the body back covered it up and left the scene. Seriously you want to RISK THAT on the street… Better charge him.

—Tamike000 Rusty was my brother.

He left behind 4 siblings, his mother and father and daughters that loved him very much. He was the most kindest, funniest person and was always willing to help anyone. He was not someone that was violent at all. He had his struggles with addiction, which led to him being homeless, but this did not define the person he was.

He was a really good person with a really good heart and NO ONE deserves what happened to him whether you are homeless or not, rich or poor, addict or no addict.

His family is still suffering from this tragic, unexpected loss. I hope Scotty Turnbull is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and I will do everything in my power to ensure this happens. Scotty obviously is a danger to soci-

ety given his criminal history and violent behavior. He does not deserve freedom or a life when he has taken the life of my brother and almost took the life of his girlfriend. I am so happy to read that people cared enough for my brother to put flowers where his body was found and pay respects.

It means so much! Rusty’s family lives in Utah and could not get up there to do that ourselves. It was also very nice to read about Reaper and his kind words about my brother Rusty. Thank you to all that have helped police and paid respect for my brother. I still am curious how this happened because his body was found only right around the corner where a lot of other transients hang out.

Did no one see or hear this happen, or did everyone just turn a cheek and not want to get involved? Either way, I guess it doesn’t change anything and won’t bring my brother back. I just hope in the future, if someone sees something like this happening to another person, they will try to call police or do something. It’s not worth a person dying just because you don’t want to be involved.

Love to all!

HATS IN THE RING Former lawmaker Holli Woodings and former Boise Mayor Dave Bieter spokesman Adam Park are vying for a seat on the Boise City Council (BW, News, “Next Boise City Council Members?,” Nov. 12, 2014).

Here’s some feedback from commenters: Young bucks? If these young bucks are anything like the young bucks already on the Boise Council, they would be better described as potted plants or maybe lapdogs of Bieter. Nothing of any consequence comes from the current young councilmembers. If any of them had an original thought, it would die from lack of company.

—Fed up I know both of these people and know they would do a good job.

OPINION ASK BILL ABOUT IT 1,017,600 of you aren’t going to like this BILL COPE To that sissy-fried intesticle worm named Bill Cope what I call “Ill Dope” because youre a mentally sicko dummy, Boo-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! I hope you are so depressed that you are still laying in your pink kitty girly bed pajamas crying like a fat ugly girly boy. If you were in front of me which I hope you never are because I’ld hate to catch your’e ebola snot, I would laugh out loud in youer’ fat ugly face like I already did in this letter. You are the most loser in everywhere Idaho except for that what I call “Ass Jam” Balukoff loser. I if were you would be ashamed to ever be seen here again outside that what I call the “Nerd End” in Boise where I also hope they all are so depressed they can’t even wipe the bird poop off their ugly Preesus cars. 6ince you too stupid to Àggure out…

Dick, I’m afraid I’m going to have to cut you off. This is my Àrst column after learning the results of the election and I need to vent some heat or I’m going to melt.

But Àrst, let me make something clear. Dick, you are a dumbshit. I’ve been pretending throughout our correspondence that I had some respect for you, that maybe I was even a bit fond of you—but that was all a lie. To me, you’re just a dumbshit and nothing but a dumbshit. Considering that you are an imaginary character I created to represent the non-imaginary dumbshits of Idaho, you have managed to shock even me, as you have turned out to be a bigger dumbshit than I could have ever dreamt up. Your stupidity has taken on a life of its own. Which, I suppose, means you continue to represent the real dumbshits of Idaho more accurately than I could have imagined, seeing as how in this election, they have proved themselves to be more staggeringly stupid than I would have thought possible.

And this brings me to why I cut you off, Dick. I need to get this said now, while I still feel it most intensely. I never thought I would say such a thing, but after what this bunch of hickabilly fools did Nov. 4, there’s no other way to cut it. I am ashamed of the people I share this state with.

It’s not even that I’m dismayed they once again chose an essentially useless lump of cowboy fakery for governor over a man I sensed truly could have improved the future for the dumbshits’ kids, if not the dumbshits themselves. Frankly, I expected Otter would win. He’s been fooling the fools for nearly 40 years, and he’s good at it, if nothing else.

No, this newer, deeper level of shame I feel for the willfully ignorant rabble of Idaho springs primarily from the outcome of three state races: secretary of state, treasurer and, worst of all, superintendent of public instruction. For all the sanctimonious drool from the mouths of Idaho Republicans about how they can’t tolerate corruption and abuse of power in government, the dumb bastards turn around and elect one of the most corrupt, heavy-handed, abusive thugs in Idaho memory—Lawerence Denney—to the ofÀce that we rely on for fairness and impartiality.

For all the empty talk about how they can’t tolerate incompetence and malfeasance in government, the dumb bastards turn around and re-elect the man—Ron Crane—who fumbled millions of dollars from the state treasury—not to mention his limousine spree in New York City for he and his wife— all on the dumbshits’ dime.

And for all the pious gas about how the Tuality of our children’s education must be Idaho’s Àrst priority, the dumb bastards turn around and elect a lying, plagiarizing soap bubble—Sherri Ybarra— who doesn’t even know the name of the ofÀce she was elected to. (Yes!« 0s. Ybarra referred to herself as the “Chief of Schools”« gad!)

Even more disgusting than the shambling Republican herd, which hasn’t the brains to distinguish civic discernment from party afÀliation, are the 0-percent-plus of those who could have voted but didn’t. Of the (roughly) . million eligible voters in Idaho, only 8 percent showed up at the polls.

With an (approximate) average of about 0 percent of that pitiful number voting for the winners, it boils down to less than percent—a little more than one out of Àve of Idaho’s adults—who have been allowed to crap freely on everyone else’s plates. I can’t help but think those 750,000 or so “adults” who sat home on Election Day deserve what’s coming to their worthless, lazy, ignorant asses.

It must also be said, I am proud of the people of Ada County. Yeah, good ol’ A. Not only did Democrats hold onto their seats—actually increasing their representation with a win in Lewiston—but neither Ybarra, Denney, Crane nor that useless lump of cowboy fakery could carry the capital city. Ada isn’t the only county with fewer dumbshits than discerning adults, but of course, it’s by far the most densely populated, and possibly has more of the state economy concentrated here than the other 4 counties combined. Perhaps we should be looking into getting our own secretary of state, “chief of schools” (duh), and treasurer. We all know we could get by just Àne without Butch Otter. Let the dumbshits from the rest of this state wallow in their own backwaters.

Finally, it’s a good thing Idaho has more going for it than its people.

OPINION POSTMORTEM The new Star Wars movie JOHN REMBER The election is over. The Sith have won. Luke Skywalker has been tossed into the Great Pit of Carkoon and will, for the next 1,000 years, be digested alive by a sarlacc. Han Solo is again embedded in carbonite. Princess Leia is back at Jabba the Hutt’s side, chained and bikini-clad, and, more than ever, in need of antidepressants.

The Force has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Sith. Yoda dead is, if even his syntax not is. Darth Vader, resurrected with a new fusion-powered heart, is bringing in millions on the fundraising circuit. The surviving Jedi Knights have become lobbyists for the Sith military-industrial complex, having decided, after lifetimes of low-paying public service, that it was time to get theirs. New Death Stars are coming off the Lockheed assembly line at fourhour intervals, each representing the GNP of a plundered world, each capable of destroying the world that built it should tribute be refused.

In a minor province on the planet Earth, a slave world in a minor subdivision of The Sith Empire, a Sith Senator calculates how much stature he’ll gain by getting elevator inserts for his cowboy boots. Two Sith Representatives hold discreet meetings with a species of obese felines.

A Sith Governor contemplates running for a Àfth term as an anti-immigrant move. A Chief of Sith Standardized Testing and Indoctrination contemplates wearing a sexy clown suit to the Provincial Inaugural Ball. A Sith Secretary of State calculates and re-calculates his pension, chuckles, and imagines what he will do to all the humans who dare dislike him now.

None of these evil entities knows it, but each carries a germ of rot that will threaten the Empire Itself. It comes in the form of a question: What is Evil for, once it’s utterly and irrevocably won? When you’ve dedicated your life not just to destroying enemies but to grinding their faces in the dirt, what do you do when there are no more enemies, and, in those regrettable cases where a Death Star had to be used, no more dirt?

Can the Sith still fear-monger against aliens when they themselves are as emotionally alien as DNA-based life-forms can get? Can they come out against alternate sexual practices when they themselves practice serial mating with Trophy Wives, those once-human cyborgs whose positronic brains are programmed for ritual shopping, cameo appearances on Sith Network talk shows and ever more cosmetic prostheses?

What now, Sith Overlords?

In the vast underwater city of Miami, in his Sea World Palace, Jebby the Bush, newlyappointed Sith Viceroy for Earth, stares out an oil-smeared porthole at his caged Orcas, who stare back impassively. What goes on in those giant Orca brains? The Viceroy watches as some rebellious human subjects, Àngered by algorithms embedded in their Twitter accounts, are forced to don seal costumes and tossed into the Orca tank. Blood swirls in the water, but the spectacle doesn’t warm the Viceroy’s heart like it used to.

If only the Orcas would talk, he muses. Why is it that the really smart species never want to have anything to do with you?

Frustrated and lonely, he summons one of the few humans he trusts. Dick Cheney, the gray eminence of Earth’s neocolonial elite—it is whispered that he and Vader have never been seen in public together—arrives silently. Too silently.

“It’s my new CPAP,” says Cheney. “The batteries died. I keep forgetting to breathe. You don’t want to know what a pain it is to breathe when you’re dead.”

“Dick,” says Jebby the Bush, “we Sith need a new reason to exist, now that we’ve won it all.”

Cheney looks out at the Orcas, who won’t look him in the mask. He makes them nervous, even the ones who have gone crazy in captivity.

He turns back to the Viceroy.

“You Sith,” he hisses. “You’re so proud of your weapons and soldiers, your corporations, trickle-down economics, Àscal austerity, purchased elections, religious bigotry, free-trade agreements and win-at-any-cost politics. Yet you hesitate to use them. You don’t need a new reason to exist. Just own up to your old one.”

“What’s that?” asks the Viceroy.

“Death,” says Dick Cheney. “DEATH TO HUMANS! You swear allegiance to a cleansing Evil, but you don’t follow its inexorable logic. I, Dick Cheney, understand the messiness of human consciousness, the cloying squishiness of human affection, a once-clean universe contaminated by icky human grief. If you Sith want meaning in your lives, cleave to the Evil you embody. Loose your politics on this and every other human planet in the Empire. Destroy social safety nets where you Ànd them, education where it’s effective, love where it festers. Humans will beg for death in the end.” Cheney pauses to suck a breath. “I have served your species faithfully.

Do this thing for me. You’ll Ànd there’s pleasure in it, and I’ll Ànd peace and happiness at last.”

UNDA’ THE ROTUNDA

Plan could include green cards to undocumented immigrants whose children are citizens.

IMMIGRATION REFORM: OBAMA’S BIG STICK Fresh from a historic wave of Election Day victories that left the GOP in power in both the U.S. House and Senate, Congressional Republicans were set back on their heels Nov. 13, when administration sources revealed that President Barack Obama may seek executive action to implement sweeping immigration reform that could protect upwards of 5 million undocumented immigrants from deportation and broaden the availability of work permits.

The news prompted howls of opposition from House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), and spurred threats of a government shutdown from hardline conservative lawmakers led by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas). Quoted by The New York Times, Boehner said House Republicans would “fight the president tooth and nail” should he embark on a unilateral overhaul of the country’s immigration enforcement policies.

Obama may announce his plan as early as this week, which is reported to include granting green cards to undocumented immigrants whose children are naturalized citizens or legal residents, as well as protecting parents here illegally from deportation. Further, the president’s plan may include granting protections to longtime undocumented workers in the agriculture industry, as well as those who came to the country as children.

Though compared to the amnesty measure passed in 1986—Obama’s plan would actually almost double the number of people protected under the previous legislation—the Times reports this new overhaul “will not provide any formal, lasting immigration status, much less a pathway to citizenship.” For immigrants in the country legally, new opportunities will be made available for those with high-tech skills. United States-Mexico border security will see increased investment and enforcement agents will be redirected away from “low priority” immigrants “with strong family ties and no serious criminal history,” according to the Times.

So-called amnesty for illegal immigrants prompted protest around Idaho, with the conservative group Overpasses 9 for America staging demonstrations in Twin Falls and North Idaho this summer.

NEWS YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT (DON’T YOU?)

Did Payette County suspend habeas corpus?

GEORGE PRENTICE Presuming that there is a copy of the United States Constitution somewhere in the Payette County Courthouse, someone may want to look at it before Wednesday, Dec. 10, the scheduled start of Alma Hasse’s jury trial.

Article One, Section 9 of the Constitution states: “The writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.” Latin for “you have the body,” a writ of habeas corpus orders the court to prove why it has the lawful authority to detain any prisoner. But when Hasse was led away in handcuffs from an Oct. 9 Payette County Planning and Zoning public meeting, she was not processed into the county jail. Yet she was put inside Line Cell No. 3, isolated from the rest of the inmate population, and denied basic rights such as visitation and using the telephone.

“I kept saying, ‘I want to talk to my attorney,’” Hasse told Boise Weekly. “Over and over again, I said, ‘I want to talk to my attorney,’ and they kept saying, ‘Give us your name,’ which is a bit ridiculous because everybody there knows my name.”

Right down the hall from the jail, Hasse had signed her name and address to a public sign-in sheet at the very P&Z meeting at which she was arrested. What’s more, police ofÀcers, the county magistrate and the very P&Z commissioners who had her arrested all called her by her name, as captured on video. Yet, Hasse was not processed as an inmate when she was taken to the jail and told that she would not have the privilege of having visitors or making a phone call until she spoke her name.

The episode was repeated throughout the night, again on the next day and for the following Àve days. She wouldn’t see the light of the

“I’ve never seen a case like hers,” said attorney Michael Bartlett. “I spoke with [fellow attorney] Tom McCabe—and he has 30 years’ experience or more—and he couldn’t recall a time when someone hadn’t been processed over an issue like this.

“In order for Alma to participate in that P&Z hearing, she would have had to sign in,” Bartlett added. “I’m told that they referred to her as Alma. It seems that what happened here was not a lack of information, but some form of retaliation.”

That’s why Boise-based attorneys Bartlett and McCabe have decided to represent Hasse.

It was days after Alma Hasse was arrested that she was given the privilege of talking to someone.

“I can tell you that a lot of Idaho attorneys heard about this, and they were so upset that they, too, have volunteered their services,” Bartlett told BW. “So many people have come forward to say, ‘Let me help. This is wrong.’”

ALMA Boise Weekly has seen Alma Hasse in action many times over the years; and to be clear, there are very few people at the Payette County Courthouse who don’t know her and her environmental advocacy. She’s a particular thorn in the side of the oil and gas industry, which, for the past several years, has made Payette County ground zero in its exploration efforts. Hasse has been there throughout, railing against Bridge Resources, the Àrst gas exploration company to make inroads in Payette County, and which fell like a house of cards in 2011; plans for a massive gas dehydration facility; the creation of man-made earthquakes to help identify gas-rich resources; or the new breed of gas explorers, including Alta Mesa. Hasse has showed up, time and again, to voice her displeasure about what she calls sweetheart deals from public ofÀcials who have too many personal interests to make impartial decisions.

“It’s public record. All three Payette County commissioners have land or mineral leases with the companies,” Hasse told BW. “And yes, a number of those P&Z commissioners also have personal leases with the companies.”

So it was on Oct. 9, when Hasse once again stood before P&Z commissioners in an effort, she said, to insist on more transparency. But when the public testimony portion of the meeting was closed, things took a turn. That’s when P&Z Commissioner 9 Peter Morgan decided to challenge Hasse’s testimony—not to her face, but B O I S E WE E KLY. C O M

UNDA’ THE ROTUNDA The protests came amid news in July that more than 57,000 children 8 from Central America had crossed illegally into the U.S. since October 2013. Though only a handful of those children were reportedly living in Idaho, Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter sent a letter to officials with U.S. Health and Human Services, the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services urging them not to send more children to the state.

“It should be understood that the State of Idaho and its subdivisions will not be actively involved in addressing the humanitarian crisis the federal government has created,” Otter wrote. “The Obama administration seems to have entirely disregarded the impact of its failures on states and taxpayer resources.”

In July and August, the Idaho branch of Overpasses for America picketed in the Coeur d’Alene area at the I.B. Perrin Memorial Bridge outside Twin Falls.

“Obama wants a blanket amnesty for illegal immigrants,” protester Dennis Frisby told the Twin Falls Times-News. “This country is as close to an economic collapse as we’ve ever been. We just can’t support 20 million illegal immigrants.”

For Brent Olmstead, executive director for Milk Producers of Idaho, the issue is not so clear cut. “There are undocumented people in Idaho that have been here for 20 years; they have kids who have grown up and gone to college. I’d hate to see them deported,” he told Boise Weekly.

According to a July 2013 report from the Immigration Policy Center of the American Immigration Council, 6 percent of Idaho’s population is foreign-born. Citing numbers from a 2010 Pew Hispanic Center study, about 2.2 percent of immigrants—or 35,000 people—are living in Idaho illegally.

As a representative of Idaho’s $2 billion milk industry—ranked third in the nation— Olmstead said those immigrants, illegal or not, are vital to the state’s economy. While he added there should be “no shortcut to becoming a citizen,” Olmstead said Idaho has nothing to lose from policies that allow those undocumented immigrants to come forward, pay a fine, pay back taxes and work legally on renewable five-year permits.

“Right now in the Magic Valley there are proposals out there for new dairies, but we don’t have the work force—there are permits for another 30,000-40,000 head of cows, but there’s nobody to milk the cows or work the dairies,” he said. “The whole country is suffering. The Cato Institute has done studies... they all come to the same conclusion: Immigration is good for the economy.”

The Immigration Policy Center reported that foreign-born and native-born Latinos and Asians in Idaho command $4.1 billion in consumer purchasing power and own businesses with sales and receipts topping $900 million.

labor force, tax base and business community,” the report stated.

Whether the president’s use of executive action helps or hinders lasting immigration reform remains to be seen. Olmstead fears that this push is another play in a longstanding game of “political football,” and that “the president is playing a pretty dangerous game in Congress.

If he acts quickly, he’s not giving Congress the chance to do something. He’d be better served by saying, ‘I want to see a bill on this

by February.’”

“I would rather see Congress act than the president act unilaterally,” Olmstead added.

“I don’t know if this is a poker game between Boehner and the president; who’s going to call whose bluff, or if they’re bluffing at all.”

Arizona Congressman Matt Salmon upped the ante on Nov. 13, when he drafted a letter signed by 61 fellow Republican House members calling on the House Appropriations Committee to withhold any funding for implementation of immigration reform measures authorized by executive action.

The House is currently working on a Dec. 12 deadline to craft appropriations legislation funding the government. “[T]he Congress has the power of the purse and should use it as a tool to prevent the President from implementing policies that are contrary to our laws and the desire of the American people,” the letter states.

Idaho Republican Congressman Raul Labrador, who has made immigration reform a key plank in his platform, was not among the signatories of Salmon’s letter. Labrador was not available for comment before press time, but his website emphasizes a border-securityfirst approach and support for “modernizing” guest worker programs.

If Obama insists on going it alone, Labrador states, the president will derail substantive action on the issue.

“The President can buy a lot of goodwill this year by working with Congress to enforce the laws already on the books and—if he does that—we can tackle immigration reform in early 2015 when we’ll be in a better position to negotiate and get real results for the American people.”

Olmstead: “I would rather see Congress act than the president act unilaterally.”

NEWS THANKSGIVING AT NORTH END RECOVERY HOUSE MAY BE ITS LAST ‘There are miracles inside these walls’ GEORGE PRENTICE The Àrst thing you need to know about this story is that there is no bad guy. Yes, there is conÁict and even some tension. But the true villain here is time—a century’s worth.

“Here, take a look,” said Steve Lewis reaching for a black-and-white photo hanging on an upstairs wall of the Grapevine Club in Boise’s North End. “This place was built in 1910. You can see the horses pulling the Àre engines.”

“This place,” located at 1518 W. Fort St., served as Boise Fire Department Station No. 5 until 1952, when the city of Boise donated it to a particular service organization.

The second thing you’ll need to know is that Boise Weekly has no intention of identifying the service organization, but it should become abundantly clear when we do tell you that it is an American fellowship, founded in 1935, that has assisted untold millions of people across the globe curb their addictions.

“You can call us a recovery house,” said Lewis. “Better yet, I think most people will know us by our 12-step meetings.”

Lewis has been 15 years sober, and he told BW that he was more than happy to be identiÀed. But BW agreed not to identify the other visitors to the Grapevine Club, at least by their last names.

“We meet every day at 8:30 a.m., noon, 5:30 p.m., 8 p.m. and at 10 p.m.,” said Lewis. He guessed that thousands of men and women had walked through the doors of the Grapevine Club long before he set foot in the place. But there’s slim chance that many more will follow in their footsteps, at least on Fort Street. ”The building is the challenge. It’s not what goes on inside the building; it’s the building itself,” said Mike Journee, the man who just days ago stepped into the role as Boise Mayor Dave

The blackboard in the downstairs meeting room at the Grapevine Club, flanked by the all-important 12 steps of recovery, asks for donations for the upcoming Thanksgiving dinner—perhaps its last.

Bieter’s spokesman. “The city absolutely wants to acknowledge the great work that these folks do.”

The city of Boise has been both the benefactor and landlord of the Grapevine Club, allowing the support group to hold its meetings there for more than 60 years, with an annual rent of $1.

“But a few years ago, our roof was in horrible shape. It was practically raining as much on in the inside as it was outside,” said Lewis.

“Three summers ago, the city said the roof had to be repaired, and that cost them a lot more than anyone expected. But then, inspectors started looking at everything else—electrical, plumbing, Àre suppression—and it was all terribly out of code.”

Therein lies the tension. Lewis told BW that repairs would probably be $150,000-$200,000, but even a layperson might guess that any serious renovation would cost much more. Another important wrinkle is that the building is a historical landmark and won’t be razed.

“Otherwise, somebody might easily tear this place down and turn it into a North End dog park,” said Lewis. “So somebody will need to make a serious investment here.”

That investment might be a bit too considerable for Boise taxpayers. That’s why Boise ofÀcials are mulling a plan that would tag the building as “surplus” and put it up for auction to improve the city’s coffers.

“It’s important to stress that this is the start of the process and nothing has been decided yet,” said Journee. “And once something is decided, it won’t be immediate. We will work with them through the transition, to make sure there are options for them to Ànd another place to do their work.”

That work has immeasurable beneÀts to the community.

“The reason we’re here is fellowship and staying sober; but most importantly, it’s about helping somebody else,” said Melissa, a regular visitor and member of the Save the Grapevine committee. “We’ve saved a lot of lives here.”

“I was one of those lives saved,” said Bob. “I haven’t had a drink since Nov. 22, 1985. That’s when I Àrst set foot here. This is my family. This is my home.”

While no one spends the night at the Grapevine Club, scores of people—including teenagers from nearby schools, business executives, Boise’s homeless and scores of individuals who have been directed to the facility from local drug courts—consider the Fort Street location as “home.”

“We’ll gather for Thanksgiving here,” said Bob. “I remember my Àrst Thanksgiving in 1985. I was stunned because no one was Àghting. There’s amazing support and love and fellowship.”

This year may well be the last Thanksgiving at the current Grapevine Club.

“Here’s the good news. I can tell you that there are conversations happening here at City Hall,” said Journee. “Yes, ultimately the Council will take this issue up. But I can also tell you that we’ve identiÀed at least one alternative space.

In the event that we have to make a decision on Fort Street, there’s a place that we’ve identiÀed.”

That may be a minor miracle—at least to the members of the Grapevine Club—but it wouldn’t be their Àrst by a long shot.

“We see miracles here all the time,” Lewis told BW. “That’s why we’re so emotionally involved. There are miracles inside these walls.”

BUTTERBALL TURKEY-TALK LINE

7DONLQJ WXUNH\ DQG VWXIÀQJ DQG JUDY\ ZLWK WKH IRONV IURP %XWWHUEDOO 8 GEORGE PRENTICE Marty Van Ness already knows how she’ll be spending much of this Thanksgiving, and it won’t be in a kitchen—her husband will be cooking their turkey. Instead, Van Ness will be helping thousands of other Americans prepare their bird for the grandest meal of the year.

“On Thanksgiving Day, we get thousands upon thousands of calls from across the nation and a lot of calls from U.S. military bases overseas,” she said.

Van Ness is one of the scores of representatives manning the phones at the Butterball Turkey Talk-Line, the toll-free consumer help line that has assisted nearly 50 million callers since 1981. Van Ness has been on the phone—off and on—for 22 years, beginning in 1984.

Between calls, %RLVH :HHNO\ asked her for some of her best turkey tips and some of the craziest calls to the hot line: 1-800-BUTTERBALL (1-800-288-8372).

What kind of qualification does someone need to turkey-talk?

Most of us have some kind of food or nutrition background. We all attended Butterball University and we’re chefs, nutritionists or…

Wait a minute. Butterball U? Do you have school colors or cheerleaders?

It’s a pretty intensive course where we learn the details of all of the methods of cooking turkey: open pan in dry heat; covered pan in a roaster; oven-cooking bags; BOI S EW EEKLY.COM

and electric countertop roasters, grilling and deep frying. We examine everything from choosing the turkey in the store to thawing to cooking to leftovers. No, we don’t have cheerleaders but we have some cool jackets.

I’m presuming that thawing a turkey is a common conversation.

But now we sell a fully frozen turkey, pre-stuffed, that you pop right in the oven. It takes six to eight hours, depending on the size.

I’m presuming that the Butterball hot line started with modest expectations.

In 1981, Butterball started taking calls from the public. We had six or eight home economists with some rolodexes and they were shocked at how many calls they got. I joined a few years later. Today, not only are we talking on the phone, but we’re live-chatting and communicating via email, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

If someone is calling you on Thanksgiving, my guess is that they’re in a panic.

You better believe it. We have to talk them off the ledge.

And is that because they haven’t thawed the turkey yet? What can they possibly do?

Several years ago, we started experimenting by cooking frozen turkeys. We tried different temperatures and I found that it took about an hour longer and that’s not that big a deal. But here’s the important part: You have to keep the oven closed—you can’t keep peeking. When it’s starting to really cook up, you grab some oven mitts and tongs and remove the neck and giblets. Get those out so that the internal part of the turkey can get done.

I’m stunned to hear you say we can put a frozen turkey in the oven.

You need to be patient and Áexible with your serving time.

And you need an accurate meat thermometer because it’s going to look and smell done before it’s fully done. The thickest part of the thigh—and you want to measure both thighs—has to be 180 degrees.

But ideally, you want us to thaw the turkey, right?

Absolutely. You have to keep your turkey cold when you’re thawing. If you’re doing that in the

fridge, it’s one day for every four pounds.

And how about deep frying?

Fifteen years ago, we used to cringe when we heard that. But now there are electric countertop fryers with no Áame and easy instructions. But if you do have an open Áame, turn it off once the oil has reached the proper heat. Then lower the turkey. If it overÁows, you’ve got a mess but not a Àreball.

Then turn the Áame back on when it’s safe.

And gravy?

Punch it up. When my husband is carving the bird, I take little shreds of turkey meat from the carving board and put that in the gravy. Here’s the real secret: potato starch. Not potato Áour, but potato starch. It makes a beautiful, velvety gravy. It’s even a little glossy.

What are the crazier questions that you’ve heard on the hot line?

A couple of years ago, a gentleman said, “I want to thaw my turkey. How should I set my dial?” I said, “The dial on what?”

He said, “The dial on my electric blanket, which is wrapped around the turkey.” Oh, don’t do that. By the way, you always want to keep the turkey cold when you’re putting it in the oven. I got another call from a guy who said, “I have to get a gravy recipe. I just got divorced and my ex-wife got the gravy recipe in the settlement.”

Are you working on Thanksgiving Day? Of course. I’ll be home by late afternoon and my husband will be cooking the turkey.

And your favorite stuffing?

Carrots, celery and onion. No meat. I like to do part cornbread/ part traditional [bread] and add some cranberries, pecans and a little orange zest.

Thanksgiving can’t come soon enough.

And we’ll keep taking calls until Christmas Eve. Call us anytime if you want to talk turkey.

A free lecture on freedom.

FALL DISTINGUISHED LECTURE: SALMAN RUSHDIE Sir Salman Rushdie went into hiding in 1989 after his novel, The Satanic Verses, offended the then-10-year-old revolutionary regime in Iran. The Ayatollah Ruollah Khomeini, the supreme religious leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, placed a $1 million bounty, or fatwa, on Rushdie’s head.

Rushdie spent more than a decade in hiding, and his 2013 memoir, Joseph Anton: A Memoir (Joseph Anton was Rushdie’s alias) chronicles that experience.

that we have.

You know when we look at it, on an average concert weekend, we have a couple thousand people—between Nampa and Boise—that come to the Boise Philharmonic.

That’s huge. For a city our size, that’s not unsuccessful.

Now I don’t want to make it sound like we’re not looking for new audiences, because we are, but we’re not pounding our heads against the wall thinking, “Oh, woe is us. The Philharmonic may die tomorrow.” For us, it’s quite the opposite. For us, with a successful audience base, the question is: How do we keep pushing the envelope? And that’s really my job. That’s artistically what I can do. The Phil staff is doing the same thing in their areas—they’re trying to keep the pressure on, keep the heat on, keep growing, keep developing but Àrst and foremost, if we don’t have me doing what I’m doing with the artistic side, no matter what they do, it won’t work.

SONG AND DANCE

How Ballet Idaho’s Peter Anastos and Boise Philharmonic’s Robert Franz have spent the past seven years building in the City of Trees AMY ATKINS Peter Anastos and Robert Franz coincidentally arrived in Boise on the same day in 2007. They had each been tasked to take over the artistic helm at one of Boise’s longest-running, best-known arts organizations: Ballet Idaho and Boise Philharmonic, respectively. Franz inherited a solid orchestra but one in need of funding; Anastos came into a bisected ballet company that had to be built from the ground up. Since they’ve been here, Anastos and Franz have become great friends and well respected members of their companies and the community at large. They have also worked to elevate their organizations’ creative output and Ànd opportunities—and funding—with which they can collaborate more with other arts organizations and with each other. One such collaboration, their traditional holiday offering, The Nutcracker, will take the stage for Àve performances Dec.19-21 at the Morrison Center (Franz, who will be out of town, will conÀdently hand over the conductor’s wand to Boise Youth Philharmonic Orchestra’s new artistic director, Deanna Tham).

Boise Weekly talked to Anastos and Franz about how their organizations have evolved in seven years, the importance of balancing heritage with innovation and a parking space in perpetuity.

Boise Weekly: How has your organization changed in seven years?

Robert Franz: We’ve had a slow but steady change over the last seven years.

If you took a snapshot now as opposed to seven years ago, it’s a very different orchestra.

Artistically, every music director comes in with their own ideas of what they want to do. For me, it’s two things: One is collaborating with our partners in the community—we’ve done a lot of that on stage in the past seven years. The second thing is about us performing a large repertoire that really Àlls the Morrison Center, so I’ve worked really hard to build the sound of the orchestra that’s large enough to Àll the Morrison Center in a real visceral way for the audience.

Peter Anastos: It’s quite different for me. Robert inherited an orchestra and he, I think, transformed that orchestra.

I heard them when I auditioned for the job [at Ballet Idaho].

After Robert came, it was quite a different orchestra and as he says, it has continued to change over the seven years—incrementally but, boy, is it thrilling. It’s a thrilling orchestra, so that’s a big treat for all of us who came from another place and expect to hear great music. It’s absolutely fabulous.

I came to no company at all. When I started, the board of directors had decided to sever with Eugene Ballet, so I had to build from scratch, which was really exciting. The major reason I said yes [to taking the position] was because I had a chance to build a company from scratch. It too, as the orchestra has changed, has changed incrementally over the years. Both organizations have made a lot of progress—not to pat ourselves on 16 | NOVEMBER 19–25, 2014 | BOISEweekly

the head but both are approaching the national standard of excellence. … The Phil is probably already there. People come here from out of town and they’re just shocked at how great these organizations are. They weren’t expecting much. They come to Boise, Idaho, and they’re expecting nothing.

RF: That’s entirely true for the ballet, too.The past seven years has been extraordinary.

PA: To use Robert’s words, we Àll the Morrison Center, too.

We have an academy, so we can get these big ballets like Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty on stage. We are also Àlling the Morrison Center and the Morrison Center is Àlling up.

RF: It’s such a big space...

PA: It’s huge.

RF: So you can’t just put, like, Àve dancers on the stage. You can’t put a chamber orchestra of 20 players. It’s a big barn of a place.

You have to have a company that’s not only big enough but deep enough. For the musicians, for sure, we have to have depth of playing to really make the sound Àll the hall.

How do you keep your longtime loyal audiences yet also entice new ones?

RF: First and foremost for me, and I’m sure for Peter, too, is that the artistic level has to be as high as it possibly can be. That is absolutely the most important reason anyone of any age comes to any event whatsoever—for sure, it’s the most important reason they return. When they come for the Àrst time, it could be some great marketing ploy but once that marketing is over, if the event isn’t at the highest artistic level and really engaging and compelling, they aren’t going to return.

So, my focus, above and beyond everything else, is how do I keep pushing our orchestra to keep growing. It has kept growing over the last seven years, and that’s really what has attracted our audiences. Our audiences, much like Peter, has seen the development and is on board with it. They’re like, “Wow. We know that the next time we come to the Philharmonic, it’s going to be better than last time, or something is going to exceed our expectations.”

Because of that, I think the Philharmonic is in the position of being a dynamic, vibrant organization and when we add to that component the connections in the community that we’ve made and are making, I think that attracts new, different, various audiences and keeps our audiences B O I S E WE E KLY. C O M

PA: Your question is about … the standard repertoire you think the old people like, but we do it all. We can do it all. In the 21st century, you have this huge, gigantic treasure trove of literature from the past. At the same time, [we’re] playing all the music and dancing all the ballets that are being created today, tomorrow and next week. This year, the Ballet is doing more contemporary work than we’ve done in the past, but we still do the big, classical ballets like The Nutcracker, Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake. We will always do those things because that’s our heritage. As Beethoven is the Philharmonic’s heritage, Tchaikovsky is ours. So we will always do that stuff but we can also trot out some really incredible progressive, contemporary stuff. Even at the Phil, Robert is programming some really interesting modern music, and the people you think would like it least like it the best. We Ànd there’s not such a division in the audiences any more. There’s a lot of crossover: Some young people love the classics, love tutus. Some older people really like the modern stuff. Audiences aren’t predictable any more. That’s one of the more interesting parts about the Boise audience and the Idaho audience: They’re very savvy about what’s good. They can’t be fooled and they can’t be tricked. And they’re curious.

RF: Curiosity is the key. Our audience base really is the Discovery Channel/History Channel people. Not the ones who watch Pawn Stars but the ones who are genuinely curious about the world around them.

PA: I watch Pawn Stars. It’s funny.

B O I S E WE E KLY. C O M

RF: I know, but it’s less curious than say, like, How Things Are Made. You know what I mean…

PA: Yes, yes.

Big grants from big companies are a thing of the past.

How do you make up for that?

PA: Those big companies don’t exist anymore. I’m sure Robert will agree, funding is always a struggle. You’re always working at it. Listen—there is never a break from fundraising. Summer, fall, winter, spring, there is never a break…

RF: Even in the best environment. It’s not true to think about “the grand ol’ days,” whether there are major companies or not.

And when there are major companies, there are more arts groups, and they are more competitive. The process really isn’t any different.

PA: But Boise has a reputation for being generous to the arts.

What has to happen as new generations come forward and older generations go away, is a sense of responsibility for the culture.

What people have to understand is that people with means have to be responsible for the culture and they have to ask themselves, “What kind of culture do I want to live in? What kind of atmosphere do I want my kids and grandkids to grow up in? What sort of a place do I want this to be?” If you want it to have a healthy cultural landscape, you have to fund it.

I frankly don’t prefer the government coming in and giving a lot of money. In Europe, that works, but I would quibble about the quality of some of the smaller houses and the fact that they’re so spoiled and entitled probably doesn’t help the artistic product.

We have to struggle for this, so it’s really precious and important to us. People have to take personal responsibility for that culture and there’s only one way to do that: They have to fund it.

As the generations change, it’s the older generations that grew up with the understanding that it was their responsibility. I think nowadays, it’s easier for a person to buy a third or fourth house or a second or third boat than to contribute to the arts.

That could be a problem.

What do future collaborations look like?

PA: I’d like to see the orchestra play for everything we do. We’d like to collaborate with them all the time.

RF: We’d love to do the same thing. We’d love to be in the [orchestra] pit all the time.

PA: We could put this together. It would be difÀcult, but we could put it together if the funding was there. Robert has talked about a pit orchestra since I Àrst got here. It would be different: It wouldn’t be the Boise Philharmonic, it would be the Boise Philharmonic Pit Orchestra—a great orchestra in that big, juicy pit in the Morrison Center.

RF: In a funny way, it would be a very sort of European tradition. In Europe, the orchestras are opera orchestras and they play on stage. That’s how orchestras got started, that’s how orchestras function nowadays. With our Esther Simplot Performing Arts Academy, it would be a natural thing to have the Boise Philharmonic in the pit for all the events that occur out of this block [between Fulton and Grove streets and Eighth and Ninth streets]. For me, the dream has always been to get the orchestra in the pit another eight or nine weeks of the year.

PA: It’s all money.

THE NUTCRACKER Dec. 19-21, $38-$58.

RF: My mantra has The Morrison Center, always been, if we can 2201 Cesar Chavez Lane, mc.boisestate.edu. Ànd donors who want to For more information visit do it in perpetuity, who balletidaho.org and want to say, “We want a boisephilharmonic.org. pit orchestra for as long as the city is around,” we would need an endowment. It would be X number of dollars and it would go into a fund that we could only use the interest from. That would fund the pit orchestra forever.

PA: But someone would have to create that fund. It’s probably a couple million dollars.

RF: I’d say it’s a minimum of $5 million.

PA: If someone wants to park that kind of money, we have a parking space for them.

WOVENHAND, NOV. 21, NEUROLUX There’s something about musician David Eugene Edwards.

His personality, his philosophies and, of course, his music draw people in. Edwards grew up singing in church and his music reflects a religious or spiritual foundation both lyrically and in his choice to use traditional instrumentation in a nontraditional way.

Though it’s not wrong to use the word “Christian” in regards to Edwards’ music, with both his ’90s band 16 Horsepower and his current project Wovenhand, to leave it at that one descriptor would be a sin of omission: His genre-defying sound combines gospel, bluegrass, alt-country, roots and rock—that last one is particularly evident on Wovenhand’s latest release, Refractory Obdurate (Deathwish, Inc., April 2014).

Local rockers Brett Netson and Snakes, who have a new release coming out soon, are on the bill, too, (the Virginia-born brothers of Pontiak had to cancel their Wovenhand-support dates) giving this show the pull of a rare-earth magnet.

TWIN PEAKS, NOV. 21, THE CRUX For a group of guys who are young enough to have curfews, the four members of Chicago-based band Twin Peaks create seasoned rock music. Twin Peaks’ sophomore release, Wild Onion (Grand Jury Music, Aug. 2014) reveals an attention to detail and search for self not always evident on an album. Although Twin Peaks’ debut, Sunken (Autumn Tone, 2013), was a shorter, somewhat tighter release, the youthful pendulum swings across the rock-genre spectrum in Wild Onion feel not so much scattered as seeking, as the Chicago youths feel their way through the canon of icons like The Beach Boys and The Rolling Stones. It’s a treat to watch a band come into its own and hear its evolution as it happens, which is part of Wild Onion’s appeal—it’s also a kick-ass album that’s as fun to listen to as it must have been for Twin Peaks to make.

Àgure that was kind of representing the heart of “We wrote a lot of songs that were kind of a dark star,” she said. “We were kind of trying more in the vein of Madness,” she said. “We to sum up the journey that we’ve had over the last year and a half—all the emotions that you go recorded them, and then we just kind of kept searching.

Barille feels especially grateful for the musical career she’s had, knowing that mr. Gnome came together when the Internet and Àle-sharing had shaken the music industry to its core.

“It really became like the Wild Wild West and you had to Àgure out your own way to do it. Do you want to sign with a label when labels are just kind of totally crumbling? These huge labels are, all of a sudden, closing. It was just very weird, and I think you could get completely turned off by that and run away and be like, ‘You know what, I’m gonna get a real job.’”

But Barille and Meister Àgured out their own way. They toured relentlessly, made their own music videos, did their own photo shoots and put out mr. Gnome’s albums on their own El Marko label. Eventually, they started getting attention from outlets like Pitchfork, Spin and Rolling Stone, the latter which gave Madness three-and-a-half stars and named mr. Gnome a Band to Watch.

They were also able to record the album Heave Yer Skeleton (2009) at Queens of the Stone Age leader Josh Homme’s Pink Duck Studios.

The pair plans to keep mr. Gnome’s momentum going. They’ve already started writing the follow-up to Heart, which Barille said will have much more guitar. Listeners should probably expect some surprises, though.

“It’s just so fun to wake up in the morning and not know what you’re going to write or what’s going to come out of it,” Barille said.

WINESIPPER PICK A PERFECT PINOT When it comes to red wine for Turkey Day, make mine pinot. In fact, when it comes to most any red-wine meal, pinot noir, with its elegant fruit flavors, great structure and balanced acidity, is a great choice. Big, bold Cabernet works great with steak, yet it will overwhelm the typical Thanksgiving feast. A good pinot can be pricey but worth it for the holidays. The panel’s top three picks provide worthy choices for most budgets.

2011 BRICK HOUSE PINOT NOIR SELECT, $33 Despite the price, this is the entry level pinot from Oregon’s Brick House. This wine is very Burgundian in style, with earthy dark fruit on the nose. Light and lively on the palate, it’s a beautiful mix of soft berry and tangy cherry with a touch of black pepper.

Absolutely delicious, this wine begs to be paired with food.

2012 BUTTERNUT PINOT NOIR, $14.99 As stated before, good pinot noir doesn’t come cheap—there are only a few worthy examples for $15 or less. This California entry, with its bright cranberry and sweet cherry aromas, is one.

The wine’s juicy, ripe red fruit flavors are backed by racy acidity. It’s an excellent value in a richer-styled pinot.

2012 ELK COVE PINOT NOIR, $28 In the under $30 Oregon pinot category, Elk Cove is consistently a standout. The 2012 offers heady aromas of mocha-laced creamy cherry fruit with a touch of fresh-brewed coffee.

This is a fruit-forward, crowd-pleasing wine, leading off with red berry fruit, colored by chocolate, anise and light oak.

SOUNDBENDER It’s called a “sound bender.” At first glance, it’s fairly nondescript, yet its effectiveness is, well, resounding. The tiny piece of plastic is ridiculous in its simplicity and that might be why it never caught fire when Minnesota-based Rabbi Moshe Weiss tried to launch it in 2011. Then in March 2013, he appeared on ABC’s Shark Tank, where he sealed a multi-million-dollar distribution deal. His magnetic, power-free iPad amplifier exploded.

Gazillionaire fashion mogul Daymond John (he’s the founder and CEO of FUBU) purchased 40 percent of the SoundBender on Shark Tank and helped push the device— SoundBender, $7.95 at which fits the iPad 2, 3 and soundbender.com and 4—to the marketplace. Since amazon.com; SoundiPad speakers are on the back, Bender Stereo, $17.99 sound often gets lost or is diffiat soundbender.com and cult to hear. The SoundBender amazon.com. “cups” the speaker, which directs the audio toward the viewer, instantly amplifying and clarifying the audio of videos and movies. The SoundBender comes in four colors and retails for $7.95 at soundbender.com. Hello, stocking-stuffer!

Also available from the rabbi inventor is SoundBender Stereo, another magnetized, power-free amplifier but in mini-stereo for iPad Air, iPad Mini, Google Nexus, ASUS and Samsung Galaxy Tab3.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Someone on Reddit.com posed the question, “What have you always been curious to try?”

In reply, many people said they wanted to experiment with exotic varieties of sex and drugs they had never treated themselves to before. Other favorites: eating chocolate-covered bacon; piloting a plane; shoplifting; doing a standup comedy routine; hang-gliding and deep-sea diving; exploring the Darknet and the Deep Web; spontaneously taking a trip to a foreign country; turning away from modern society and joining a Buddhist monastery. What would your answer be, Aries? The coming weeks will be an excellent time to explore what you have always been curious to try. The risks will be lower than usual, and the results more likely to be interesting.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Contrary to popular opinion, crime fiction author Arthur Conan Doyle never once had his character Sherlock Holmes utter the statement “Elementary, my dear Watson.” For that matter, Humphrey Bogart never actually said “Play it again, Sam” in the film Casablanca. Star Trek’s Capt. Kirk never used the exact phrase “Beam me up, Scotty.”

Furthermore I, Rob Brezsny, have never before issued the following prophecy: “Deep sexy darkness and deep sexy brilliance are conspiring to bring you Tauruses

intriguing pleasures that will educate the naive part of your soul”— until now, that is. At this juncture in the ever-twisting plot of your life story, I am most definitely saying just that.

there’s a lot you don’t know about what you really need and the best ways to get what you really need.

But you are ripe to become wiser in this subtle, demanding and glorious art.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Here are some thoughts from Gemini author Fernando Pessoa: “The feelings that hurt most, the emotions that sting most, are those that are absurd—the longing for impossible things; nostalgia for what never was; the desire for what could have been; regret over not being someone else.” Can you relate, Gemini? Have you felt those feelings? Here’s the good news: In the coming weeks, you will be more free of them than you have been in a long time. What will instead predominate for you are yearnings for very possible things and contentment with what’s actually available to you. (Pessoa’s words are from The Book of Disquiet, translated by Alfred Mac Adam.)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Naturalist Greg Munson says that many dragonflies are great acrobats. They are the “Cirque du Soleil” performers of the animal kingdom. Not only do they eat in mid-air, they also have sex. While flying, two dragonflies will hook up and bend into a roughly circular formation to accommodate the idiosyncrasies of their reproductive organs, thereby forming a “mating pinwheel.” I don’t expect you to achieve quite that level of virtuosity in your own amorous escapades, Leo. But if you’re adventurous, you could very well enjoy experiences that resemble having sex while flying.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The most important thing you can do in the coming weeks is learn how to take care of yourself better.

What? You say you’re too busy for that? You have too many appointments and obligations? I disagree.

In my astrological opinion, there’s one task that must trump all others, and that is get smarter about how you eat, sleep, exercise, relax, heal yourself, and connect with people. I can assure you that

30 | NOVEMBER 19–25, 2014 | BOISEweekly

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Born under the sign of Virgo, Yuriy Norshteyn is a Russian animator who has won numerous awards.

His Tale of Tales was once voted the greatest animated film of all time. But he hasn’t finished any new films for quite a while. In fact, he has been working on the same project since 1981, indulging his perfectionism to the max. In 33 years, he has only finished 25 minutes’ worth of The Overcoat, which is based on a story by Nikolai Gogol. But I predict that he will complete this labor of love in the

next eight months—just as many of you other Virgos will finally wrap up tasks you have been working on for a long time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Every saint has a bee in his halo,” said philosopher Elbert Hubbard. Similarly, some Libras have a passive-aggressive streak hidden beneath their harmonyseeking, peace-loving persona. Are you one of them? If so, I invite you to express your darker feelings more forthrightly. You don’t have to be mean and insensitive. In fact, it’s best if you use tact and diplomacy. Just make sure you reveal the fact that there is indeed a bee in your halo. I bet you will ultimately be pleased with the consequences you stir up through your acts of courageous honesty.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Many people use the terms “cement” and “concrete” interchangeably, but they are not the same. Cement is powdery stuff that’s composed of limestone, gypsum, clay with alumino-silicate, and other ingredients. It’s just one of the raw materials that is used to make concrete—usually no more than 15 percent of the total mass. The rest consists of sand, crushed stone and water. Let’s regard this as a good metaphor for you to keep in mind, Scorpio. If you want to create a durable thing that can last as long as concrete, make sure you don’t get overly preoccupied with the “cement” at

the expense of the other 85 percent of the stuff you will need.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Whatever returns from oblivion returns to find a voice,” writes Louise Glück in her poem “The Wild Iris.” I think that will be a key theme for you in the coming weeks. There’s a part of you that is returning from oblivion—making its way home from the abyss—and it will be hungry to express itself when it arrives back here in your regularly scheduled life. This dazed part of you may not yet know what exactly it wants to say. But it is fertile with the unruly wisdom it has gathered while wandering. Sooner rather than later, it will discover a way to articulate its raw truths.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “There is no revenge so complete as forgiveness,” said American humorist Josh Billings. I propose that we make that your motto in the coming weeks. It’s an excellent time to liberate yourself from memories that still cause you pain—to garner major healing from past anguish and upheaval. And one of the best ways to do that will be to let go of as much blame and rage and hatred as you possibly can. Forgiveness can be your magic spell.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Denmark has been a pioneer in developing the technology to supply its energy needs with wind

power. By 2020, it expects to generate half of its electricity from wind turbines. Recently the Danish climate minister also announced his nation’s intention to phase out the use of coal as an energy source within 10 years. I would love to see you apply this kind of enlightened long-term thinking to your own personal destiny, Aquarius. Now would be an excellent time to brainstorm about the life you want to be living in 2020 and 2025. It’s also a perfect moment to outline a master plan for the next 10 years, and commit to it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Piscean actor Sir Michael Caine has had an illustrious career. He has won two Oscars and been nominated for the award six times in five different decades.

But for his appearance in Jaws: The Revenge, he was nominated for the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Supporting Actor. He confessed that his work in that film was not his best, and yet he was happy with how much money he made doing it. “I have never seen the film,” he said, “but by all accounts it was terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific.” In accordance with the astrological omens, Pisces, you have permission to engage in a comparable trade-off during the coming months.
