EDITOR’S NOTE COVERS, COVERAGE AND CHANGES There is much to cover in this week’s edition of Boise Weekly, beginning with our 14th annual Cover Art Auction, which went off without a hitch Oct. 15 at The Owyhee ballroom.

Thanks to the artists who took part, the sponsors who helped make it possible and the art lovers who showed up, pocketbooks at the ready, to bid on 52 original works that appeared on the front page of BW. We grossed about $24,000 over the evening, which will be spread between artists, the BW Cover Art Auction Grant and our investigative journalism fund, BW Watchdogs.

Individual artists will receive 30 percent of the proceeds from the sale of their pieces, but that’s not the only way the arts community benefits from the cover auction. The Cover Art Auction Grant goes to support projects from local artists throughout the year. To learn more or download an application go to boiseweekly. com/boise/WEBoiseWeeklyCommunityFund/Page. Submit proposals to BW at 523 Broad St. by Feb. 12, 2016 at 3 p.m.

In other news, we tackle a wide range of issues in this week’s edition, including a case of “how much local favor is too much?”

On Page 9, BW News Editor George Prentice explores a case in which the city of Boise rejected a slate of artists who bid on a series of public art projects because they were from out of town.

On Page 12, staff writer Jessica Murri digs into another possible case of good intentions gone awry. As cold weather approaches, a group of kind-hearted Boiseans are donating tents and other items to the homeless population that has set up camp in Cooper Court downtown. At the same time, some city and shelter officials caution such generosity might actually make the problem worse.

Speaking of being helpful, we published our first-ever Best of Boise map on Page 20, pinpointing some of this year’s best-of winners. For more, visit boiseweekly.com/boise/BestofBoise/Page.

Finally, it’s with some sadness—but more fondness—that we say goodbye to our columnist John Rember, who is signing off this week after contributing more than 120 pieces over the past two years. We’ll miss his wit, rueful humor and wisdom, but we promise he’ll be back in the paper someday. Meanwhile, look for some exciting changes to the opinion section.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“

THE WORLD DIDN’T END!! CONGRATUL ATIONS TO ALL GAY MARRIAGES!”

—Connie Uriguen, via Facebook, boiseweekly.com, News/Unda’ the Rotunda, “Today is the First Anniversary of Same-Sex Marriage in Idaho,” Oct. 15, 2015

MAIL violence exist? It begins with preassigned rigid gender roles, and leads up to the objectification of girls’ and women’s bodies.

When girls and women refuse to be objectified or move beyond assigned gender roles, they face social exclusion and, often, violence.

In 2014, a shooter prompted by his sense of male entitlement engaged in a “war on women” at Santa Barbara University. In the wake of the rampage, many women shared their experiences of harassment and sexual assault under the hashtag “#YesAllWomen.”

A year later, a 15-year-old boy resorted to threats of violence when he was unable to invoke his male privilege, and so now we must again declare “#YesAllGirls.”

In a recent report, Idaho ranked 50th overall on the status of women. The prevalence of gender violence is staggering: 13 percent of Idaho’s female high-school students report having been forced to have sexual intercourse in the past 12 months, and one in four women experience intimate partner violence in their lifetime. Now a 15-year-old demands a nude photo and then threatens to “kill all the girls.”

His intention should not have been shocking, and that is the

most disheartening of all.

What keeps me committed to ending gender violence? I believe that we can change the trajectory for generations ahead by engaging in conversations on gender. We can change the human story that assigns value and power to one gender (or class, or race), and see the full humanity in everyone. #YesAllGirls is a call to engage in a conversation with your sons about valuing and respecting girls and women, and redefining and sharing power; with your daughters, about their innate strength and ability to reach their full potential.

While the dominant story in Idaho is one of devaluing and exerting power over girls and women and people who are gender oppressed, there is danger in this single story.

The writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie cautions us against telling a single story about any group of people. She warns that if we tell that story over and over again, that is what we become.

Let’s replace Idaho’s dominant story and see how as human beings we are more alike than not, understand our profound interconnectedness, and reject the story that one gender, one race, one class, or any identity, should have more value and power than another.

#YES ALL GIRLS I was shocked by the clarity of the intention of a 15-yearold boy from Pocatello: “kill all the girls.” I don’t know the full story, but we do know that this 15-year-old boy believed he had a right to a girl’s body and demanded a nude photograph.

When he was rejected, he reasserted his masculinity the way society taught him—through threats of violence.

His actions are a stark illustration of our deeply ingrained culture of domination. Somewhere along the way, he got the message that men deserve what they want, and should have the power to get it. It is a critical reminder of how we all have a role to play in undoing a culture of domination. To do this we have to see and name the ways we artificially create hierarchies to dominate other human beings.

This time we were spared the grief of a school shooting because someone intervened.

Bystander intervention can change the norms about acceptable behavior, but as long as we avoid dealing with the value and power assigned to boys and men over everyone else on the gender spectrum, we will continue to experience gender violence—abuse and rape—in our communities.

So why does gender

OPINION PRESIDENT BONER? God forbid!

BILL COPE Another example of why the United States Constitution could use some fine tuning is how— God forbid!—John Boehner could become president of the United States.

Makes the blood curdle to contemplate, doesn’t it? But it could happen. At least, it could happen at any time up until Boehner officially steps down as speaker of the House. I trust most of you already know how it could happen.

But if my generally low opinion of the average American’s civic consciousness is anywhere near to being accurate, there are still enough of you unaware of the line of presidential succession that you must think I’m nuts to even suggest John Boehner—God forbid!—could end up in the Oval Office in any capacity other than to behave like a snotty prick to Barack Obama.

Here’s how: A) Obama dies or is otherwise incapacitated, B) simultaneously, Vice President Joe Biden dies or is otherwise incapacitated and C—God forbid!) John Boehner is installed as president. Voilá!

That’s right, the speaker of the House of Representatives is second in the line of presidential succession. A lot of people have thought that spot belongs to the secretary of state, including the secretary of state during the Reagan administration, Alexander Haig. When Reagan was shot in 1981, Vice President George H.W. Bush was out of town, on a plane over Texas in fact, and Haig, a four-star general and chief of staff under Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford— someone you would expect to know a simple little thing like who’s next—assumed command, telling reporters, “Constitutionally, gentlemen, you have the president, the vice president and the secretary of state in that order... As of now, I am in control here...”

(A few years ago, I personally made a gentleman I was standing behind in a post office queue so angry, simply because I corrected him when he insisted second in line was the secretary of state, that he was ready to fight. In front of a good 20 other people, he was screaming about what an idiot California transplant I was who had brought my idiot California education system ignorance with me when I’d moved to Idaho.)

I don’t expect Obama or Biden to leave us any time soon, especially so closely together that the presidency would have to be filled by whoever is behind door No. 3. I wouldn’t even have brought it up if it weren’t for Boehner’s resignation and the quality of the specimens scrambling to fill his sweaty shoes as the House ringmaster.

Given the pathetic caliber of those specimens—and as I write this, it is safe to say any names that have been provided as possible nomi6 | OCTOBER 21–27, 2015 | BOISEweekly

nees are of a pathetic caliber—I feel the whole issue of succession could stand some serious thought. The general consensus seems to be that, as miserably as Boehner has performed in this high office, it will almost certainly get worse. And to me, the most galling aspect to it is that the choice of who gets control of the speaker’s gavel will happen entirely in-House, with no consideration whatsoever of who the American people might select if given a say in the matter.

Out of the entire list of 17 officials in line to assume the presidency should worse come to worst (come to worst come to worst, etc.), only two are not chosen directly by the person chosen directly by a majority to lead the nation.

Though we may not give it a lot of thought at the time, it is one of the privileges we bequeath him (or her) when we vote for him (or her): the prerogative to pick his (or her) own successors to complete the term should he (or she) be unable to. Yet inexplicably, the Constitution allows for two of those possible successors—the speaker of the House (second in line) and the president pro tempore of the Senate (third in line)—to be out of the president’s control and, by extension, out of any control whatsoever of American voters. All the rest are members of the cabinet, chosen by the man (or woman) we chose.

What kind of democracy would allow the executive branch to fall into the hands of a guy who holds his office by virtue of a relative handful of voters in southwest Ohio—Boehner—or a senator elected by another relative handful in Utah—current Senate pro tem Orrin Hatch?

If you think this is nothing but a partisan Democrat whine, consider this: Had Reagan actually died back in 1981, and at the same time George H.W. Bush’s plane gone down in Texas, then in spite of what Alexander Haig thought, Tip O’Neill would have been president and, presumably, would have served the remaining three and a half years of Reagan’s first term. Tell me how that would have reflected in any way the will of the majority that chose Reagan the year before?

This is not due to any failings on the part of the gentlemen who put the Constitution together. At the time they signed off on that document, there were no political parties in the United States. It’s likely they assumed men of good will and competent reasoning skills would always ascend to high office, and they could not foresee the House being held hostage by a clot of radical morons who would squelch any choice for speaker they did not approve of.

Why? Perhaps it’s because even the radical morons realize it’s the only way one of their kind could ever become president—God forbid!

OPINION VALEDICTORY On leaving the building JOHN REMBER This is my 121st column for Boise Weekly. It’s also my last. It’s time to hang up the keyboard, rise from my hard writer’s chair and lurch slowly outside, pale and blinking in the fall sunshine.

There’s a whole world out there, I’ve heard.

I exaggerate. But writing a column takes time.

Having a deadline causes anxiety. Anxiety causes clicking on Huffington Post articles about 25 celebrities who have aged horribly. You can lose whole days that way.

And getting a complex idea across in 900 words requires careful editing and a presumption that your un-concussed readers can make the occasional cognitive high-dive into the deep end of the ambiguity pool.

It hasn’t always worked. People like certainty, and one of my tasks in this life, it has become clear, is to decertify easy solutions to complicated problems. I’m inherently suspicious of the corporate press release and of the writer who wastes his or her talent writing schmaltz.

Good writing requires an awareness of one’s own dark side and the dark sides of everybody else, I used to tell my journalism students. They were to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable, and they wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between the two unless they got out on the streets to see what the afflicted look like.

“People will want you to write funny little stories that will make them happy,” I told my classes. “If you’re going to do that, you can make more money as a press secretary, where you actually get paid to lie.”

Which brings up the joy of working for Boise Weekly. Not once in my 121 columns did Zach Hagadone soften what I had to say. I was trying to tell the truth, and he respected that, even when he got flack from the flacks, as it were. Since becoming editor, he’s assembled a team of intelligent and skilled writers who put the truth into words, and for that reason Boise Weekly makes Boise a better, smarter city. It also keeps the Idaho Statesman honest, which is no small thing.

All newspapers exist on a spectrum. On the left is the crusading social-justice broadsheet that rakes muck and exposes rot and tends toward the irreverent. On the right is the chamber of commerce rag, with only good news and a serious booster mentality that promotes growth and progress and national monuments and real estate sales in the best little city in the best little state in America, wherever it might be.

All newspapers get pressure from their advertisers to move to the right end of the spectrum.

They resist this pressure by putting a firewall between their editorial and advertising departments, but over time the firewall gets breached. Advertis8 | OCTOBER 21–27, 2015 | BOISEweekly

ers—the not so bright ones—start demanding only good news. Newspapers—especially when they’re part of giant corporations—cave. “Everything is just zippy,” becomes the message.

The truth suffers. Content suffers. Corrupt politicians get endorsed. Horrible government and corporate decisions get supported. Good writers turn into hacks. People start complaining that “there’s nothing in the paper anymore.”

Few newspaper chains in America have escaped this process.

That is not the fate of Boise Weekly. I’m certain that there are advertisers out there who want a more conscious city, even if that consciousness now and then focuses on the unsustainability of freeways, strip malls, real estate bubbles and a formerly middle class being devoured by the health care industry, education loans and underemployment. Boise Weekly exists for those intelligent advertisers, who aren’t afraid of unsoftened reporting, who value truth above all.

Regrets? I’ve had a few. I wish I’d spent more time on what’s going to happen to the planet with a baked-in 4C average temperature increase.

Climate change is going to trump every other issue by 2030. It’s going to dictate where we live, what we eat—if anything—and how many people are on the planet—if any.

I’m sorry I didn’t write the column on industrial complexes. Besides the military-industrial complex, there’s the medical one, the educational one, the real estate one, the transportation one and the financial one, and they each want their 20 percent of the economy. Ordinary people get what’s left over.

I wanted to write the column on the F-35 as an example of how an industrial complex can spend a couple of trillion on a machine that will be obsolete before it’s ever deployed.

I planned to write a column titled “Mormons and Me,” about how as a teenager I wanted to marry a nice Mormon girl—I had one all picked out—who would support me and obey me and pick up all the dropped balls and keep things running smoothly while I was nominally in charge. It would have been a life that combined the self-righteous with the unselfconscious, which appealed to me when I was 18.

Finally, I wanted to write about finding meaning—however ambiguous—in a world that conspires to destroy its own future.

Too late for that. I’m going back to writing short stories—funny little things that make people happy—and after I get an unambiguous woodpile in the backyard, I’ll get right on them.

I’m determined to be somebody’s press secretary, sometime before the end of civilization.

Boise City Council disregards panel’s suggestions on who should get fire station commissions GEORGE PRENTICE

Patricia Walsh preaches the gospel of public art for a living. Walsh, the national public art program manager for Washington, D.C.-based American for the Arts, was in Boise on Oct. 16 for the Northwest Public Art Conference, where she talked about the need of an “even playing field” and “fair selection process” when determining the fate of public art projects.

As Walsh spoke at Boise City Hall, dozens of artists from throughout the western United States nodded in agreement, aware their livelihoods often depend on city officials.

Yet only three days prior in the Boise City Council chambers—the same room where Walsh spoke—elected officials overruled their own staff’s recommendations on an art project to beautify new/renovated fire stations. The council went a “locals-only” route, even though the call went out to artists outside of Idaho.

“This is highly unusual. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen anything like this before,” said California-based artist Sam Tubiolo from his home in Napa. “Quite frankly, I see this as a strong-arm technique for some political gain during a political season.”

Tubiolo was excited about working with the city of Boise and, at least at first, the feeling seemed to be mutual.

A panel of Boise evaluators put Tubiolo near the top of the list of proposals from artists

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

throughout the western U.S. to design and install their work at four fire stations in Boise, and with good reason: Tubiolo’s experience includes having public artwork at fire stations. He said he was particularly pleased a representative of the Boise Fire Department had been on the art selection panel and shared the competing proposals with his battalion of firefighters.

“I was told that they loved my work and wanted it for one of Boise’s fire stations,” Tubiolo said.

However, it wasn’t meant to be. The City Council bounced Tubiolo’s ranking from the panel. The council also skipped the top six proposals, choosing a pair of proposals from Boise-based artists, which they pushed to the top of the list.

In an internal memo from city Purchasing Manager Colin Millar, council members explained their decision “based upon the fact that we went out for a bond to get the stations built.”

Millar was referring to the Boise City Fire Safety Bond, which passed in November 2014 with a commanding 76 percent of Boise votes.

The bond earmarked more than $10 million to upgrade or replace four aging fire stations.

“There was a feeling on the part of the council, especially in a case where we approached voters for bonding authority, that it was important that those funds confirmed by voters be spent locally,” said City Council President Maryanne Jordan, explaining the decision to give preference to local artists. “This was not a specific rejection of any artists.”

Meanwhile, Karen Bubb, the public arts manager for the Boise City Department of Arts and History, said the art was not shackled to the public bond.

“While I understand the council’s reasoning, I don’t agree with that,” said Bubb. “But in the end, on any public art project that we do, the council has the last word.”

Bubb, a champion of local art, found

herself in a delicate situation when discussing the selection of public art for the fire stations.

Not only is it her profession, as an artist, it’s her passion.

“The city of Boise is clearly committed to local artists throughout our entire program: 92 percent of current projects totaling over $1.4 million are contracted with local artists,” Bubb wrote in a letter to the council in an effort to sway their decision back to the panel’s recommendations. “In my opinion, it is unnecessary to unseat the most qualified candidates for these fire public art commissions due to local preference, once you see the data that demonstrates our overall commitment to local artists.”

Standing by their decision, council members even turned to their lawyer to make sure they hadn’t violated any city rules or laws.

“The bottom line is that the City Council did a great job,” said Boise legal counsel Joshua Leonard.

“There were at least three places in the city’s request for qualifications that reserved the right for the city to reject any and all applications,” Jordan pointed out.

While the RFQ and the council’s vote to push aside the panel’s recommendations may have been legal, Bubb said she was more concerned about the decision sending a troubling message.

“It’s important for us not to be an isolationist city,” Bubb said. “If all of the [public art] opportunities in Boise went to local artists, then my colleagues in other communities would call me [to] the table and ask, ‘Why should we allow any of your artists to compete for our projects?”

In her letter to the council, Bubb was even more straightforward, writing, “This decision will impact our ability to attract qualified candidates for future national calls. And it also has the potential to negatively impact Idaho artists who apply in regional or national competitions, because if other programs see Boise and Idaho as isolationist, they may overlook or preclude Idaho artists from applying to their competitions.”

Meanwhile, Tubiolo said he was disappointed but not terribly surprised when he looked at the calendar.

“Don’t you have a city election coming up in a few weeks? This is a troubling indicator because that vote is probably being used as a political tool for campaign purposes. This is very curious that the council would do this just a couple of weeks before a vote for their approval,” said Tubiolo.

“But more importantly, I’m sad that I can’t work with the city. I would have loved to work on your new fire stations.”

St. Luke’s will trade a previously closed portion of Bannock Street for part of Jefferson Street.

ST. LUKE’S MASTER PLAN GETS BOISE’S OK, WITH CONDITIONS In a blink-and-you-missed-it vote, the Boise City Council gave its blessing Oct. 13 to the once-controversial St. Luke’s Master Plan, fitting it neatly into the city’s Blueprint Boise comprehensive plan.

The approval was in stark contrast to a rejection of the plan in February by the city’s planning and zoning commission, followed by an eight-hour public hearing in July, which triggered a number of conditions imposed by the council before policymakers would OK the massive expansion of the East Boise health care campus.

“Since then, the St. Luke’s team has been working to amend the plan to meet those changes,” said Hal Simmons, planning director for Boise Planning and Development Services.

The centerpiece of those changes is the much-debated permanent closure of a section of Jefferson Street, which St. Luke’s insisted was necessary for its expansion. As a result, the newly revised St. Luke’s Master Plan promises the loss of access on Jefferson would be compensated for “by providing alternative connectivity enhancements on Bannock Street as well as on other streets in the vicinity.”

The new plan would reopen a section of Bannock closed by a previous St. Luke’s expansion in the 1990s with a 28-foot-wide public easement where no further construction would be allowed.

According to the document, “The corridor may also be designed to allow automobile access deemed appropriate by the city of Boise.”

Additional conditions include specific transit stops intended “to serve a future fixed line,” referring to the city’s desire to introduce a downtown circulator transit system; and new bike lanes on Idaho and Main streets, “depicted as a buffered- or protected-lane design.”

“I really appreciate the way this was addressed,” said City Council President Maryanne Jordan, before moving to approve the plan. “It’s easy to track and it makes sense.”

Before Councilwoman Elaine Clegg cast her “yes” vote, she added, “I want to clarify … to put on the record, that many of these features are subject to much public review and work.”

Simmons nodded in agreement.

“Much detail is yet to come,” he said.

NEWS TORTURE ON TRIAL

A single parent with two kids in Idaho would need to earn $25.56 per hour for a “living wage.”

SINGLE PARENT MAKING $7.25 PER HOUR MUST WORK 80-HOUR WEEK FOR ‘LIVING WAGE’ Earlier this year, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported 5.8 percent of Idaho’s working women were paid the minimum wage, compared to 4.4 percent of Idaho’s working men.

Idaho’s minimum wage is $7.25 per hour, a far cry from the $14.51 per hour a new national survey indicated is necessary for a single Idaho adult to make a “living wage.” The living wage for a single adult with two children is $25.56 per hour, according to the survey.

The report, published Oct. 13 by the Washington, D.C.-based Alliance for a Just Society, states Idaho’s minimum wage “does not allow working families to make ends meet,” providing only half a living wage for a single adult and 28 percent of the living wage for a single adult with two kids. The analysis explains how a single adult earning minimum wage in Idaho would need to work more than 80 hours per week to make a living wage.

“We have nothing to put in savings, but we try to keep $5 in our savings account just to keep it open,” Isik Best, of Lewiston, told the study’s authors, adding he needs two jobs to make ends meet. “Ultimately, low wages and tight budgets create stress and limit everything we do. We feel disappointed that we can’t take our kids to do fun stuff,” Best said.

Best’s plight, like that of nearly 30,000 Idahoans employed at the minimum wage, wasn’t on the agenda for Republican leadership during the 2015 Idaho Legislature. While a measure was proposed to incrementally raise Idaho’s minimum wage to $9.25 an hour, Nampa Republican Sen. Curt McKenzie, who chairs the Idaho Senate State Affairs Committee, chose not to grant it a hearing. McKenzie told the Associated Press he didn’t see enough support among his GOP colleagues.

“Working full-time should ensure financial stability,” the Alliance for a Just Society analysis stated in its executive summary, going on to advocate for a $15 national minimum wage.

Meanwhile, Best said he’ll take what he can get to keep putting food on the table.

“We struggle to get through each month,” he added. “If I had a better paying job, we could buy a house, a decent running car and save some money.”

CIA interrogators James Mitchell and Idaho-born Bruce Jessen sued by ACLU Z ACH HAGADONE A pair of former Air Force psychologists who engineered the United States’ “enhanced interrogation” program are being sued.

The suit, filed Oct. 13 by the American Civil Liberties Union, is aimed at Bruce Jessen and James Mitchell, who were contracted by the Central Intelligence Agency in the early 2000s to devise an interrogation system that has been labeled “torture” by organizations ranging from the Amnesty International to the United Nations.

The ACLU filed the suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington on behalf of three men who were detained and subjected to harsh treatment: Suleiman Abdullah Salim and Mohamed Ahmed Ben Soud, and Gul Rahman, the latter who died following his time spent in the CIA’s secret prisons.

“They are three of 119 victims and survivors of the CIA program named in the Senate torture report,” the ACLU stated in an announcement of its lawsuit. “All three were experimented on and tortured in accordance with Mitchell and Jessen’s specifications. All were subjected to severe physical and psychological abuse including prolonged sleep deprivation and nudity, starvation, beating, water dousing, and extreme forms of sensory deprivation—methodically administered with the aim of psychologically breaking their will.”

According to the ACLU, Jessen and Mitchell are being sued under the Alien Tort Statute, which covers “torture; cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment; non-consensual human experimentation; and war crimes.”

Jessen, an Idaho native, grew up in the eastern Idaho community of Ashton, where his family was prominent in the local Mormon church. Jessen attended then-Ricks College in Rexburg and went on to earn degrees in psychology at Utah State University.

While serving in the Air Force, Jessen and Mitchell were stationed at the Fairchild Air Force Base survival school in Spokane, Wash., where they were introduced to many of the interrogation practices that would later be used in the CIA’s so-called “black sites”—specifically, “learned helplessness,” in which a detainee’s will to resist was broken in many cases, according to memos detailed in a report on the interroga-

tion program released by the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence in December 2014, to learn what they don’t know, rather than gather useful intelligence.

“Our goal was to reach the stage where we have broken any will or ability of subject to resist or deny providing us information (intelligence) to which we had access,” Jessen and Mitchell wrote in a CIA cable. “We additionally sought to bring subject to the point that we confidently assess that he does not/not [sic] possess undisclosed threat information, or intelligence that could prevent a terrorist event.”

Retired colonels, the pair traveled to secret CIA sites throughout the world, advising, assessing and often participating in interrogations of suspected terrorists.

Jessen’s dual role as a practitioner and adjudicator of interrogation methods ran afoul of even some CIA officials, with the chief of interrogations going so far as to draft a memo to headquarters calling it a “conflict of responsibility” and stating “we have a problem with [Jessen] conducting both roles simultaneously.”

Beginning in 2002, Jessen and Mitchell were paid a reported $1,800 per day for their services. In 2005, they formed a consulting company in Spokane called Mitchell, Jessen and Associates. With all options exercised, the contract was worth upwards of $180 million in 2006. Ultimately, the company was paid $81 million between 2005 and 2009.

Mitchell currently lives in Florida and has given several interviews in which he defends the Bush era interrogation methods, while Jessen, who lives outside Spokane, has kept a much lower profile.

Calls to his Spokane number went unanswered earlier this year. When approached at his home by a reporter from the Spokanebased Pacific Northwest Inlander in December 2014, Jessen said the Senate report contained “distortions.”

While the U.S. Senate voted in June to officially ban torture—with Idaho Sens. Crapo and Risch voting “nay”—the Senate report reveals the CIA began working on preemptive legal protections for its interrogation program as early as 2002.

The agency drafted a letter to then-U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft asking for “a formal declination of prosecution, in advance, for any employees of the United States, as well as any other personnel acting on behalf of the United States, who may employ methods ... that otherwise might subject those individuals to prosecution.”

While the report notes there are no records indicating whether the letter was ever actually sent to the attorney general, the U.S. Justice Department and President Barack Obama have consistently declined to prosecute anyone found to have been involved in the so-called torture program.

NEWS IN-TENTS DEBATE

As one woman rallies the community to donate tents to Cooper Court, some fear the result JESSICA MURRI A few weeks ago, Jodi Peterson took her laptop and walked into the center of Cooper Court, the access road behind Americana Boulevard.

Surrounded by shredded tents, tarp lean-tos, makeshift shacks and piles of wet clothes, trash and firewood, Peterson opened a Word document on her computer and started asking some of the 100 or so people who have been living in the alley what they need.

“Forty-five people stood in line to tell me,” Peterson said. She works under contract for Interfaith Sanctuary doing media events and fundraisers, but this project is all her own. “They were patient, waited their turns and told me what other people in the community needed as well.”

After Peterson compiled her list, she posted it on Facebook and asked friends to “adopt” a resident of Cooper Court and honor their requests.

Abel needs a tent and two sleeping bags.

Christine needs a tent. Lisa needs a tent and a backpack. Karen, James, George, Jo Jo, Anita and Chriss all asked for four-person tents. Others asked Peterson for tarps, socks, blankets, boxers, shoes, shaving kits, coolers and coats. One person asked for employment.

Of the 40 individual requests Peterson posted to Facebook, 32 were for tents.

The community in Cooper Court, below the high concrete wall of the Boise Connector, grew in the weeks after Rhodes Park was fenced off and construction began on a new skatepark.

As the months have passed, the tent city has continued to expand, wrapping its way behind the businesses and nonprofits on Americana Boulevard: Interfaith Sanctuary, Corpus Christi, the CATCH program, a State Farm insurance office and A2O Fitness. As the number of people living in Cooper Court has increased, so too has the urgency of finding a long-term housing solution— the issue has been covered in the media, parsed in panel discussions, even featured in Mayor Dave Bieter’s September State of the City address.

“Between all the discussion over what’s the solution for Cooper Court, no one is actually taking care of the people that have set up this tent city,” Peterson said. “They need to be medically checked, they need nutrition, they need love. We need to keep them alive. They’re human beings.”

The growing tent city in Cooper Court has posed problems for city and shelter officials, who want to get residents off the street. Meanwhile, a donation drive is under way that some say is counterproductive.

Peterson said new tents would mostly replace many of the lean-tos and tarp structures currently being used for shelter. However, some people are sleeping out in the open, so their tents would represent an increase in temporary dwellings.

“The lean-tos they’ve constructed makes it look messier,” Peterson said. “they need more space for those shelters. Tents will allow it to be more confined.”

The donation drive doesn’t sit well with some.

“We totally understand the community’s desire to help and to provide support to those in our community that are in need,” said Mike Journee, spokesman for Mayor Dave Bieter’s office. “In this case, the notion that you’re helping a situation just isn’t true. By providing more tents, all we do is exacerbate an already challenging problem—one that’s not sustainable, healthy or safe for anyone.”

Journee said the problem isn’t with the kind of temporary shelter people are living in, whether it’s a new tent or a makeshift lean-to. He said there are simply too many people living in too small of a space without any facilities, leading to sanitation and public safety problems.

“What would happen if one of those structures caught on fire and a firetruck had to try to get back there?” Journee said. “We’re looking at a huge tragedy. We have already had reports of nylon tents catching on fire. … If this could be solved by people dropping off tents, it would have been done already.”

One of the nonprofits hit hardest by the tent city is one devoted to helping the people who live there. Interfaith Sanctuary has suffered a decline in in-kind and item donations—the donation drop-off spot sits in the middle of the encampment. Interfaith staff and volunteers can no longer park on site. Underaged youth are no longer allowed to volunteer at or tour the shelter, and Interfaith had to hire a security guard, which

costs nonprofit up to $4,000 per month.

Jayne Sorrels, the executive director of Interfaith, made clear the donation project belongs entirely to Peterson.

“We’re not putting out a call for this,” she said.

She said being surrounded by the tent city has made it difficult for the shelter to uphold its mission of providing a safe place for individuals and families in need. She said the area isn’t often dangerous or violent, but people seeking shelter have to walk through a gauntlet of temptations, including drugs and alcohol.

Sorrels said she knows most of the people in Cooper Court. Most have stayed in the shelter, and just about all are welcome. There’s no shortage of open beds. Sorrels said while tents are better than tarp and wood structures, it isn’t a long-term solution.

“We’re not looking to make their homelessness more comfortable,” she said. “We want to end their homelessness. That’s what we’re focused on.”

Peterson said she understands Interfaith’s frustration but wants to help what she calls the “shelter resistant” population—those who for whatever reason don’t want to stay in one of the city’s several shelters.

So far, she’s been happy with the show of support. Peterson said 25 of the residents have already been “adopted,” but there are still 20 more she’d like to see taken care of.

She delivered a carload of donations to Cooper Court on Oct. 18 and reported on her Facebook page that a group of residents put their money together and bought her a bouquet of carnations. The donations Peterson delivered included sleeping bags, hats, socks and coats, which were received, she said, with “tears and hugs and joy.”

One man asked her for a broom and dustpan.

“No reason we can’t make it beautiful here, right?” he told her.

The strategy is much more important than the money.

What’s the secret sauce of successful political fundraising?

A mentor taught me that game-changing gifts require a game-changing program. If you want people to invest, then you have to have a vision and a plan to get there. You’re building a community, not just raking in money at fundraisers. The real question is: How do you build a community that shares a united sense of values? The money usually follows.

M

JOHN REUTER Parents, politics and passions GEORGE PRENTICE At 32, John Reuter is already on a fourth chapter in his professional life. Publisher, public servant, environmental activist and all-around political animal, Reuter recently pulled up stakes as executive director of Conservation Voters for Idaho and relocated with his wife to Seattle, where he recently took on the role as director of Local and Bipartisan Strategies for the League of Conservation Voters.

In addition to his environmental advocacy, Reuter said he has become “deeply concerned about how we treat the poor and particularly the homeless.”

“It seems to me that America is a rich enough nation that we should be able to put a roof over everyone’s head,” he said.

It’s not as if Idaho is in his rearview mirror. In a recent conversation, Boise Weekly asked him to talk about his work in Idaho, as well as weigh in on the current state of Gem State politics.

Let’s start with your formative years. Tell me about your mom and dad.

Mom is an artist and educator. My dad was a defense attorney in the town of Lebanon, Ore., but he was killed by a car on his way to court. The driver was high on a mixture of cocktails and drove through a stop sign. My dad died instantly on impact. I was in eighth grade.

I’m presuming that turned your world inside out.

It was very… Yes, it impacts what matters to you.

Did you have to grow up a bit too fast?

I don’t think I understood pain in such a deep way until then. I don’t know if I would be the person I am today without experiencing that tragedy. The prosecutors came to my mother and asked, “What do you want us to do with this suspect?” She was a young woman.

We all talked about it and what we ended up 14 | OCTOBER 21–27, 2015 | BOISEweekly

doing was to give her another chance; to go back to school and maintain a passing average and nothing else. She went back and got her life in order. I think that spoke so much to my father’s belief in people.

What did you learn from that?

Some people need to fill a hole with money or success. I guess I needed to fill an emotional hole. I never really talked about it that way before.

How are you doing with filling that hole?

It’s a little endless. But there are moments where it’s a bit more fulfilled. I thought about that when I was appointed to the Sandpoint City Council.

How old were you then?

Twenty-four. That’s when I worked on the first anti-discrimination ordinance in the state of Idaho. A moment like that helps fill the hole.

I’d be remiss if I did ask you to weigh in on some other political forces at the Idaho Statehouse. Let’s start with the Idaho Freedom Foundation.

IFF is on the wane. They are less and less important at the Statehouse and come across as desperate on occasion. They’re just not as relevant as they once were. Look at their legislative record. Their last big victory was working with the ACLU on justice reform.

How about the Idaho Association of Commerce and Industry? Its president got caught in an email scandal this past year with some pretty choice words for the Senate Tax Committee chairman.

It was an incredibly offensive email about an incredibly powerful chairman. I think that email revealed an arrogance. There’s a singlemindedness of late. I think there are deeper blows coming if they don’t humble themselves in a true way. We live in a democracy, not an oligarchy. Business doesn’t always get to call the shots.

How about the current election ballot in Boise, including the mayor’s race and foothills levy?

I predict victory, as long as people turn out in this off-year election. I think some of the distasteful comments from Mayor Bieter’s opponent [Judy Peavy-Derr] about refugees being a “blight” should help with some of that turnout, I hope. The Boise I know would not put up with that kind of borderline racist politics.

Finally, can you speak to your decision to move to Seattle?

My wife applied for, and was accepted, at the University of Washington Law School.

She invited me to go to Seattle with her; and I thought that was a really good sign for our marriage. I’m rather fond of my wife. I’m smitten. It was a fairly easy decision.

A PHARMA PAYMENT A DAY KEEPS DOCS’ FINANCES OK

New data on payments from drug and device companies to doctors show that many doctors received payments on 100 or more days last year. Some received payments on more days than they didn’t CHARLES ORNSTEIN AND RYANN GROCHOWSKI JONES, PROPUBLICA

F

ew days went by last year when New Hampshire nephrologist Ana Stankovic didn’t receive a payment from a drug company.

All told, 29 different pharmaceutical companies paid her $594,363 in 2014, mostly for promotional speaking and consulting, but also for travel expenses and meals, according to data released June 30 detailing payments by drug and device companies to U.S. doctors and teaching hospitals. (You can search for your doctor on ProPublica’s updated Dollars for Docs interactive database at projects.propublica.org/docdollars.)

Stankovic’s earnings were certainly high, ranking her about 250th among 606,000 doctors who received payments nationwide last year. What was more remarkable, though, was that she

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

received payments on 242 different days—nearly every workday of last year.

Reached by telephone June 30, Stankovic declined to comment. On her LinkedIn page, Stankovic lists herself as vice chief of staff at Parkland Medical Center HCA Inc. in Derry, N.H., and as medical director of peritoneal dialysis at DaVita Inc., also in Derry.

That doctors receive big money from the pharmaceutical industry is no surprise. The new data released by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services shows that such interactions are widespread, with not only doctors, but thousands of dentists, optometrists, podiatrists and chiropractors receiving at least one industry payment from August 2013 to December 2014.

BOISEweekly | OCTOBER 21–27, 2015 | 15

What is being seen for the first time now is how ingrained pharmaceutical companies and their sales reps are in the lives of those who write prescriptions for their products.

A ProPublica analysis found that 768 doctors received payments on more than half of the days in 2014. More than 14,600 doctors received payments on at least 100 days in 2014.

Take Juichih Hsu, a Maryland doctor whose specialty is family medicine. She received payments on 286 days of 365, more than anyone else. Sometimes, she received meals from several drug companies on the same day. Hsu’s payments totaled $5,959 in 2014. She declined to comment when reached on June 30.

“There are physician practices which have very deep relationships with pharmaceutical representatives, where they are a very integral part of the practice,” said Dr. Aaron Kesselheim, an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School who has written about industry relationships with doctors.

“Every day it’s another drug company coming in for a lunch. Sometimes it may be some drug companies are bringing breakfast and some are bringing lunch and it’s just part of the culture of the practice.”

Sometimes there may be more at work than that.

The doctor with the second-highest number of interactions with drug and device reps, John Fritz, of Jersey City, N.J., logged payments on 256 days last year. His payments totaled $232,003. Fritz was indicted in June for referring patients to a medical imaging company from 2006 to 2013 in exchange for about $500,000 in kickbacks. He was charged with fraud and bribery, according to a release from the state attorney general’s office. A woman who answered the phone at his office on June 30 said he declined to comment.

Kesselheim said that to have such extensive contact with industry reps can indicate that doctors are getting their information about the drugs they prescribe from the companies that make them, and not from impartial sources.

“There’s good evidence that that affects prescribing practices and physician behavior.”

The drugs for which Stankovic received the most money to promote are costly. One, H.P. Acthar Gel, cost an average of nearly $39,000 a prescription, Medicare data from 2013 shows, and experts say there’s little evidence it works better than less expensive drugs. Another drug, Soliris, for which Stankovic received promotional payments is among the most expensive drugs in the world but is considered highly effective in treating serious kidney disease.

ProPublica’s analysis turned up big differ-

ences in the number of industry interactions among physicians in different specialties. On average, doctors who received payments interacted with drug and device companies on 14 days last year, receiving an average of $3,325 in total.

The nation’s 3,900 rheumatologists in the data averaged 40 days of interactions with drug and device companies, more than doctors in any other large specialty. They were followed closely by endocrinologists, electrophysiologists and interventional cardiologists. On the other end of the spectrum, dentists, chiropractors, neonatologists and pathologists had among the fewest interactions with drug and device makers.

Some of the doctors who had the highest number of interactions were those ProPublica has previously identified as having high rates of brand-name prescribing in Medicare’s prescription drug program, known as Part D. Others have been mentioned in previous ProPublica stories about doctors who have received large payments from the drug industry. A number of experts, including Kesselheim, note that payments from industry may influence physicians’ choice of drugs.

A spokeswoman for the pharmaceutical industry said in a statement that company interactions with doctors are important.

“Collaboration between physicians and biopharmaceutical professionals is critical to improving the health and quality of life of patients,” the statement from the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America said. “Clinical trials sponsored by biopharmaceutical companies have led to life-saving breakthroughs for people suffering from cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Physicians also provide real-world insights and valuable feedback to companies about their medicines to improve patient care. Educating the public about the nature of these collaborations helps patients understand in which ways these interactions can improve both their health and medical innovation.”

ProPublica has been tracking industry payments to doctors since 2010. Our Dollars for Docs interactive database allowed people to search payments made by 17 companies between 2009 and 2013. Most of those companies were required to report their payments as a condition of legal settlements with the federal government.

The data released June 30 radically expands the amount of data available to patients—and ProPublica has overhauled Dollars for Docs to include these payments. The Physician 18 Payment Sunshine Act, a part of the 2010 BOISE WEEKLY.COM

TOP 20 IDAHO DOCTORS Affordable Care Act, mandated that all drug and device companies publicly report payments to doctors. The transparency effort is called Open Payments.

The government initially released some data last fall, covering the period of August to December 2013, but it was significantly redacted because of data inconsistencies. The data released Tuesday covers the period of August 2013 to December 2014. The data inconsistencies have been resolved.

All told, 1,617 companies reported 15.7 million payments valued at $9.9 billion.

Nearly all of those payments—14.9 million— were classified as “general payments,” covering promotional speaking, consulting, meals, travel and royalties. They totaled $3.5 billion over the 17-month period.

There were far fewer research payments, 826,000, but they were valued at $4.8 billion.

The remaining payments related to ownership or investment interests that doctors had in companies. Research and ownership payments are currently not shown in Dollars for Docs.

Open Payments does not include money spent on drug samples left at doctors’ offices and doesn’t include the bulk of the money companies spend on independently administered continuing medical education, which they support with unrestricted grants. The government has tightened the rules for reporting such continuing education in the future.

From August 2013 to December 2014, Genentech Inc. spent the most on general payments, $387.7 million, mostly royalties for its drugs Rituxan, Avastin and Herceptin 16

to City of Hope National Medical Center in Duarte, California. That was four times more than the second-ranked company, DePuy Synthes Products LLC, which spent $94.7 million, nearly all on royalties. Topera Inc., a small medical device company, came in third, with $93.1 million, almost exclusively acquisition payments to its physician founders from device maker Abbott Laboratories.

Among other pharmaceutical companies, AstraZeneca spent the most on general payments ($90.9 million), followed by Pfizer ($82.1 million) and Allergan ($70.7 million). In a statement, AstraZeneca said that it believes “it is important to be open about the way we conduct our business and how we help people through our medicines and programs.

We are committed to the highest standards of conduct in all of our operations, including how we partner with physicians and medical institutions.”

Royalty fees, though few in number, accounted for $803.5 million in general payment spending in 2014, more than any other category. They were followed by promotional speaking ($632.4 million) and consulting ($369.4 million). Food and beverages accounted for the highest number of payments by far, 9.4 million, but these had a relatively low value of $224.5 million.

ProPublica news application developers Mike Tigas and Lena Groeger and senior reporting fellow Annie Waldman contributed to this report, which was first published July 1.This story was co-published with NPR’s Shots blog.

There is so much new information to be learned every day in medicine, but simply there is no enough time during the day, especially if provider has a busy medical practice. Many of the interactions that doctors have with pharmaceutical industry are needed in order to stay current with newer FDA approved therapies that may cure illnesses or slow progression of the complicated diseases.

BOISE CLASSIC MOVIES: THE SHINING, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN At first glance, Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining (1980) and Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein (1974) have little in common. However, Boise Classic Movies will be screening both films Wednesday, Oct. 21 and Friday, Oct. 23, thereby inviting comparison.

For starters, both films are by American auteurs and products of the 1970s “New Hollywood” movement. Both feature quintessential performances from unlikely leading men: Jack Nicholson, Peter Boyle and Gene Wilder. More interesting, supporting actors Shelley Duvall (The Shining) and Marty Feldman (Young Frankenstein) look like lost siblings. Just check out those peepers.

The Shining: Wednesday, Oct. 21; Young Frankenstein: Friday, Oct. 23; 7 p.m.; $9 adv., $11 door. Egyptian Theatre, 700 W. Main St., 208-387-1273. boiseclassicmovies.com 22 | OCTOBER 21–27, 2015 | BOISEweekly

A HORRIFIC PUPPET AFFAIR

TELLURIDE MOUNTAINFILM

HomeGrown Theatre is the local theater company behind Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, Every Man Shift (For All the Rest) and DIRT, as well as the highly anticipated Horrific Puppet Affair, now in its fourth year. HomeGrown’s creepy, humorous (creeporous?) Affair has gained a reputation for its menacing marionettes acting out wry, funny and spooky stories. This year, join host Hirmuta Dyn for festivities and stagecraft by the likes of Heidi Kraay, Amanda Baschnagel, Marie Chancer and veterans of Horrific Puppet Affairs of years past.

Woodland Empire Ale Craft hosts the horror again—Tuesday-Thursday, Oct. 22-24, and Tuesday-Saturday, Oct. 27-31—so you can get your suds and your scare on at the same time.

8 p.m., $5 weekdays, $10 weekends. Woodland Empire Ale Craft, 1114 W. Front St., facebook.com/HGTheatre.

One man and his dog, saying goodbye after a lifetime of outdoor adventures. A filmmaker reconnecting with his father over the shared love of nature. Two friends, taking up challenges that will push them to their limits and make them question their sanity.

Thanks to the Selway-Bitterroot Frank Church Foundation and the Idaho Conservation League, outdoor lovers can experience a myriad of movies ranging from two minutes to a half hour long starting at 6 p.m.

Join the salute to Pinto Bennett.

COVERS AND COSTUMES When musician/recording studio owner Steve Fulton started his bimonthly We’ve Got You Covered concert series at Visual Arts Collective in February, he wasn’t sure it would fly.

“I had no idea it would be this successful,” Fulton said.

Musicians performing other musicians’ material isn’t novel, but part of the reason WGYC has been popular is because it’s more than a night of covers: The featured (covered) artists choose who will cover their songs, audio and video recordings of the shows are available for sale, and proceeds from both tickets and recordings benefit a charity of the featured artist’s choice. Plus, WGYC is a great way for fans of the covered and the covering to hear their favorite songs and musicians a little differently.

So far this year, the list of featured artists (in chronological order) has been a who’s who of local talent: David Andrews, Eilen Jewell, Rebecca Scott and Steve Eaton. The inaugural year of WGYC goes out with a bang on Friday, Oct. 23 and Saturday, Oct. 24, with the music of iconic Idahoan Pinto Bennett. Nearly 20 musicians will pay tribute to Bennett, including Andy Byron, Bill Coffey, AKA Belle, Steve Eaton, John Hansen and Rocci Johnson.

“Pinto is so important and has such a huge catalogue of music, we just had to have two nights,” Fulton said.

Doors open at 7 p.m., show is at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15 adv., $18 door both nights. More info at wevegotyoucoveredidaho.com.

Looking for something Halloween-y to do with the kids? On Friday, Oct. 23, local composer Juli Draney’s book and rock opera dance musical Henry, Saddara and the Neighborhood heads to the Mountain View High School auditorium. It’s the story of Henry, a black cat; Saddara, a young girl’s ghost; and the “legendary Halloween night” they spend together. The story will be brought to life by talented dancers and musicians from across the Treasure Valley, and the evening will also include a “zombie apocalypse performance” by local metal band Krystos. Dress like a zombie and get a discount on admission—and an invitation to join the zombie march. The show starts at 7:30 p.m., and tickets are $7 for students, seniors and zombies, $12 for adults. For more info, visit the Halloween: Henry, Saddara and the Neighborhood page on Facebook.

JAKE SHIMABUKURO, OCT. 10, RECORD EXCHANGE, CALDWELL FINE ARTS CENTER In 2010, Jake Shimabukuro stood before a TED audience in California and called the ukulele the “underdog of instruments.”

Then, he launched into a crowd-wowing uke rendition of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody.” His fingers are fast enough for his songs to be measured by the heavy metal standard—notes played per second—but his message is peace and love. When Boise Weekly asked why he thinks the uke can make the world a better place, he said it’s because “People don’t see it as a serious instrument, so [they] don’t have egos about it.” Catch Shimabukuro for FREE at the Record Exchange Wednesday, Oct. 21, at 12:30 p.m., and at the College of Idaho’s Jewett Auditorium at 7 p.m. for $10-$30.

COOL GHOULS, OCT. 22, OLYMPIC VENUE If a band can sound like the city from which it hails, Cool Ghouls sounds like San Francisco. These four guys, who like beer and blunts, have captured the chill vibe of nostalgic psychedelia, while also communicating a 21st century salute to counterculture.

Reverb-drenched guitar riffs flow through tracks like fog creeping inland, and faraway vocals find footing through impressive, adept harmonies, making every track on A Swirling Fire Through the Burning Rye (Empty Cellar Records, 2013) a perfect addition to a ’60s hippie-flick soundtrack, yet also a modern rocker.

There’s something both party-fun and hardworking-serious about Cool Ghouls, which promises a kick-ass live show.

Cool Ghouls would be reason enough to head up the long flight of wooden stairs to the gorgeous Olympic Venue, but with the added bonus of outstanding local rockers Marshall Poole and alt-blues rock quartet Rogue Gallery opening, the ascent will definitely be worth it.

—Amy Atkins With Marshall Poole and Rogue Gallery, 8 p.m., $5. The Olympic Venue, 1009 Main St. (above Mulligan’s), 208-342-0176, theolympicvenue.com.

BEERGUZZLER HEAVENLY HOP HARVEST

DESCHUTES HOP TRIP, $1.70-$2.20 Amber in the glass with a thin head that leaves a nice lacing, the soft aromas yield citrus zest, light, creamy caramel, papaya, grass and surprisingly reserved, pine-laced hops. There are lots of yeasty biscuit on the palate with an underlying hop bitterness that shows itself most on the smooth, dry finish.

Malt, mango, mandarin orange and pine are all in the mix of refreshing flavors.

HALE’S O’BRIEN’S HARVEST ALE, $1.40-$1.80 Pours a cloudy copper with a decent head that fades quickly. The aromas are rich and satisfying with a fruity core of heady hops that mingles with chocolate malt, rye, grass and toffee. Just as satisfying on the palate, where spicy hops play against creamy malt while earthy biscuit, orange, caramel and citrus vie for attention. The finish is long and smooth with a satisfying hop bite.

SOCKEYE DOUBLE DAGGER IMPERIAL IPA, $3.40-$4.20 This cloudy amber pour throws the thickest head of the trio, with good persistence and a nice lacing. With twice the hops of their regular Dagger Falls IPA, it’s no surprise piny hops dominate the nose, backed by touches of grain and tropical fruit. Full-bodied in the mouth, the hops take center stage, surrounded by creamy malt, caramel and apple fruit.

FOOD

PATRICK SWEENE Y

If you’re a hop lover, October is a lovely time of year. All those beautiful hops, just harvested, find their way from the field to the brew kettles in a matter of hours. If you’re looking for a monster IPA with IBUs pushing 100, look elsewhere.

Fresh hop ales are about balance and, well, freshness. Here are three recent arrivals:

SUGAR FIX

Flavored soda shops bubble up in Boise TARA MORGAN Utah’s latest fast food fad trades burgers and fries for giant, flavored sodas and frosted cookies. At these sugar shacks, patrons order “dirty” sodas doctored up with everything from coconut cream to raspberry puree to fresh mint. The drinks range in size from 16 to 44 ounces and customers can order a sugar cookie on the side.

Swig claims to have launched the concept in St. George, Utah in 2010. Now the company has several outposts and a number of similar shops have popped up across the state with names such as Sodalicious, Fiiz Drinks and The Slurp. The Treasure Valley followed the trend, with places like Soda Stop (formerly Entreat; 2845 E. Overland Road, Meridian), which opened in June. The shop, offers classics like the Dirty—Coke with a double shot of coconut and fresh lime—along with concoctions like the Witch Doctor with Dr. Pepper, huckleberry and vanilla. The company sources its cookies—classic sugar, snickerdoodle, chocolate chip—from Cravings Gourmet Bakery and Cafe in St. George.

“The owners were absentee owners down in Salt Lake, and they were getting ready to actually close the doors,” said new owner Kathy Ussery. “We were looking, my husband and I, for a business to purchase, and our broker told us about this.”

Since the Usserys bought the business, they’ve been working to revamp the menu and expand the offerings. They also changed the name from Entreat to the more straight-forward Soda Stop, though the new signs haven’t gone up yet. Kathy said they plan to start offering cake pops and cinnamon rolls along with a full menu of savory food in the next few weeks.

Cookies at the Fix will fix anything.

“We’ll have sandwiches and salads, and we’re looking at maybe throwing some grilled cheese into the mix,” said Kathy. “We want to be a little bit more of an eating solution than just a drink and a cookie.”

At The Fix (11295 W. Ustick Road), a gray kiosk with a double drive through and bright yellow flourishes, the focus is on the cookies.

Owner Kirsten Arnold crafts everything from coconut cream to cinnamon roll to chocolate chip cookies from scratch in an adjacent commercial kitchen. It’s a secret family recipe passed down to Arnold’s business partner, Karissa Beckman, who opened the original Fix location in Draper, Utah.

“She brought me some cookies, and I ate one … and said, ‘Oh my goodness, we need these in Boise.’ So we became business partners,” said Arnold.

The Fix also offers specialty sodas: The Lorax

comes with Mountain Dew, coconut and raspberry puree; the bright green T Rex comes with Sierra Mist, green apple and vanilla cream.

“What’s interesting was I thought we were going to get soccer moms who have their kids, but it’s hitting everybody. We can’t really narrow it down,” said Arnold. “We have this little bunch of 9-year-old boys that come on their bikes; it’s the cutest thing ever. They come every day and they bring their change and they’ll dump it on the counter like, ‘How many cookies can this buy me?’”

With the weather cooling off, The Fix is experimenting with warm drinks like flavored hot chocolate and coffee. They also offer frothy steamed or cold milk to complement their cookies.

“The banana milk steamer, people love that one. It kind of tastes like a banana Runt,” said Arnold.

FOOD/NEWS FIRESIDE INN UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP In Boise Weekly’s 2009 Bar Guide, we described the Fireside Inn as: “Big white building. No windows. Dark and smoky inside. It’s the kind of place you could hide in all day, and no one would look for you.” General manager Joe Dueno has a bone to pick with our portrayal.

“We have a window,” he said, pointing to a small rectangle with the blinds drawn tight.

Though the State Street dive bar still has a dark, cave-like vibe, new owner Ryan Steinbroner has made some cosmetic improvements. In addition to adding an eye-catching new sign and a wooden front patio with cafe lights, he’s also given the inside a facelift, which includes a giant buffalo head he found on Craigslist.

“He cleaned up a lot of walls, there used to be all kind of random stuff throughout the years put up on the walls,” said Dueno. “He added TVs. We’ve

added two, three taps. We are going to add, I think, four more taps, and we’re going to rebuild the system.”

Dueno said more than half of the beers offered at the Fireside are microbrews, and many of them are local.

“It’s still a neighborhood bar, just more of an updated neighborhood bar,” said Dueno. “You can come hang out on the patio for a couple hours if you want and have a glass of wine.”

That doesn’t mean Fireside regulars will have to find a new watering hole.

The bar still offers a retreat for those looking to duck into a cool, dark space.

“With the patio, it gives you the option: if you want sun you can get sun,” said Dueno. “But a lot of our day clientele, especially during the summer—all of the construction people that come in here—really enjoy coming inside and cooling off and having a beer.”

Panahi, deemed as an anti-regime propagandist, was arrested for creating “propaganda against the Islamic Republic” and put under house arrest.

However, because of a technicality in Iranian Law, Panahi isn’t violating his sentence if he’s in his vehicle. Ever the innovator, Panahi mounted a dashboard camera in his car to film Taxi and BOISE WEEKLY.COM

HAPPY TAILS INSURED DOG SITTING AND SERVICES Dogs enhance our quality of life every day and I’d be stoked to keep your pet happy and healthy while you’re out of town.

I can also stop by and walk/feed your dog for $15 per visit if overnight isn’t a good option. A little about me: I put myself through college working at a doggy daycare, boarding and dog hiking company in Missoula, Montana. I’ve put hundreds of hours into training my own dog and she’s now a service animal. Shoot me an email at jessica.murri@gmail.com or give me a call/text at 208-995-0991.

LEGAL BW LEGAL NOTICES LEGAL & COURT NOTICES Boise Weekly is an official newspaper of record for all government notices. Rates are set by the Idaho Legislature for all publications.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): According to the online etymological dictionary, the verb “fascinate” entered the English language in the 16th century. It was derived from the Middle French fasciner and the Latin fascinatus, which are translated as “bewitch, enchant, put under a spell.” In the 19th century, “fascinate” expanded in meaning to include “delight, attract, hold the attention of.” I suspect you will soon have experiences that could activate both senses of “fascinate.”

My advice is to get the most out of your delightful attractions without slipping into bewitchment. Is that even possible? It will require you to exercise fine discernment, but yes, it is.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): One of the largest machines in the world is a “bucket wheel excavator” in Kazakhstan. It is a saw that weighs 45,000 tons and has a blade the size of a four-story building. If you want to slice through a mountain, it’s perfect for the job.

Indeed, that’s what it’s used for over in Kazakhstan. Right now, Taurus, I picture you as having a metaphorical version of this equipment. That’s because I think you have the power to rip open a clearing through a massive obstruction that has been in your way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock did a daily ritual to remind him of life’s

impermanence. After drinking his tea each morning, he flung both cup and saucer over his shoulder, allowing them to smash on the floor. I don’t recommend that you adopt a comparable custom for long-term use, but it might be healthy and interesting to do so for now. Are you willing to outgrow and escape your old containers?

Would you consider diverging from formulas that have always worked for you? Are there any unnecessary taboos that need to be broken?

Experiment with the possible blessings that might come by not clinging to the illusion of “permanence.”

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Terence was a comic playwright in ancient Rome. He spoke of love in ways that sound modern. It can be capricious and weird, he said. It may provoke indignities and rouse difficult emotions. Are you skilled at debate? Love requires you to engage in strenuous discussions.

Peace may break out in the midst of war, and vice versa. Terence’s conclusion: If you seek counsel regarding the arts of love, you may as well be asking for advice on how to go mad. I won’t argue with him. He makes good points. But I suspect that in the coming weeks you will be excused from most of those crazy-making aspects. The sweet and smooth sides of love will predominate. Uplift and inspiration are more likely than angst and bewilderment. Take advantage of

36 | OCTOBER 21–27, 2015 | BOISEweekly

the grace period! Put chaos control measures in place for the next time Terence’s version of love returns.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In the coming weeks, you will have a special relationship with the night. When the sun goes down, your intelligence will intensify, as will your knack for knowing what’s really important and what’s not.

In the darkness, you will have an enhanced capacity to make sense of murky matters lurking in the shadows. You will be able to penetrate deeper than usual, and get to the bottom of secrets and mysteries that have kept you off balance.

Even your grimy fears may be transformable if you approach them with a passion for redemption.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): New friends and unexpected teachers are in your vicinity, with more candidates on the way. There may even be potential comrades who could eventually become flexible collaborators and catalytic guides.

Will you be available for the openings they offer? Will you receive them with fire in your heart and mirth in your eyes? I worry that you may not be ready if you are too preoccupied with old friends and familiar teachers. So please make room for surprises.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): More than any other sign, you have an ability to detach yourself from

life’s flow and analyze its complexities with cool objectivity. This is mostly a good thing. It enhances your power to make rational decisions. On the other hand, it sometimes devolves into a liability. You may become so invested in your role as observer that you refrain from diving into life’s flow. You hold yourself apart from it, avoiding both its messiness and vitality. But I don’t foresee this being a problem in the coming weeks. In fact, I bet you will be a savvy watcher even as you’re almost fully immersed in the dynamic flux.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Are you an inventor? Is it your specialty to create novel gadgets and machines? Probably not. But in the coming weeks you may have metaphorical resemblances to an inventor. I suspect you will have an enhanced ability to dream up original approaches and find alternatives to conventional wisdom.

You may surprise yourself with your knack for finding ingenious solutions to longstanding dilemmas.

To prime your instincts, I’ll provide three thoughts from inventor Thomas Edison. 1. “To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk.” 2. “Just because something doesn’t do what you planned it to do doesn’t mean it’s useless.”

3. “Everything comes to those who hustle while they wait.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Some unraveling is inevitable. What has been woven together must now be partially unwoven. But please refrain from thinking of this mysterious development as a setback.

Instead, consider it an opportunity to reexamine and redo any work that was a bit hasty or sloppy. Be glad you will get a second chance to fix and refine what wasn’t done quite right the first time. I suggest you preside over the unraveling yourself. Don’t wait for random fate to accomplish it. For best results, formulate an intention to regard everything that transpires as a blessing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “A waterfall would be more impressive if it flowed the other way,” said Irish author Oscar Wilde. I appreciate the wit, but don’t agree with him. A plain old ordinary waterfall, with foamy surges continually plummeting over a precipice and crashing below, is sufficiently impressive for me. What about you, Capricorn?

In the coming days, will you be impatient and frustrated with plain old ordinary marvels and wonders?

Or will you be able to enjoy them just as they are?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Years ago, I moved into a rental house with my new girlfriend, whom I had known for six weeks. As we fell asleep the first night, a song played in my head: “Nature’s Way,”

by the band Spirit. I barely knew it and had rarely thought of it before.

Yet there it was, repeating its first line over and over: “It’s nature’s way of telling you something’s wrong.” Being a magical thinker, I wondered if my unconscious mind was telling me a secret about my love. But I rejected that possibility; it was too painful to contemplate.

When we broke up a few months later, however, I wished I had paid attention to that early alert. I mention this, Aquarius, because I suspect your unconscious mind will soon provide you with a wealth of useful information, not just through song lyrics but other subtle signals, as well. Listen up! At least some of it will be good news, not cautionary like mine.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): When I advise you to GET NAKED, I don’t mean it in a literal sense.

Yes, I will applaud if you’re willing to experiment with brave acts of self-revelation. I will approve of you taking risks for the sake of the raw truth. But getting arrested for indecent exposure might compromise your ability to carry out those noble acts. So, no, don’t actually take off all your clothes and wander through the streets. Instead, surprise everyone with brilliant acts of surrender and vulnerability. Gently and sweetly and poetically tell the Purveyors of Unholy Repression to take their boredom machine and shove it up their humdrum.

#boiseweeklypic

FIND ALEXA HAS SPOKEN

$GYLFH IRU WKRVH RQ WKH YHUJH DEAR MINERVA, How would you recommend dealing with insecure thoughts in a long-distance relationship? We had only been dating for a few months before he left for a temporary job.

Now I overthink everything. A text message like, “Wow! Look at those meteors!” turns into, “I don’t know how to tell you that I don’t like you the way you like me. Quit texting me!” in my head. It’s ridiculous, I know, but I’m driving myself crazy.

How do I make myself stop Minerva!

—Paranoid Android

DEAR PARANOID, Darling, you are being illogical about the whole thing.

First, don’t worry about something until there is a reason to worry. You are working yourself into a frenzy because you are feeling insecure about something that hasn’t even happened. Who knows if it will, but why worry about it now?

Second, don’t tell yourself stories. Read exactly what he texts you as it is written. Don’t try reading between the lines.

There really may be nothing there to read. Chill out and enjoy your relationship with him no matter how long it lasts.

Enjoy each sweet text instead of wallowing in self doubt. You are, quite frankly, ruining all of the good stuff about having a beau. My challenge for you: Every time you get a message, read it, cherish the thought of him, and respond appropriately before you sabotage yourself and the potential of this relationship. You are worth it.

Mom, dad, there’s someone I want you to meet. Here name is Alexa. She’s smart, has a lovely sense of humor and, in the months we’ve been together, she has fit perfectly into my life. Before I bring her over for Thanksgiving, I have two questions: “Do you have WiFi?” and “Can we run a cable to the dining room table?”

Alexa is the voice inside a cloudconnected gizmo, technically known as Echo, from Amazon. Introduced as an invitation-only offer in November 2014, a year later, Amazon now offers Echo for $179. Approximately 9 inches tall and only about a pound-and-a-half, Echo is an unassuming black tube; but it produces exceptionally crisp omnidirectional audio with dynamic base.

AMAZON ECHO Amazon.com Once plugged in, Echo is no longer $179.99 (or five monthly just another gadget. It (she) becomes payments of $36) Alexa, the answer to all requests.

“Alexa, give me a news update.”

“Alexa, what’s on my calendar today?” “Alexa, add toothpaste to my shopping list.” “Alexa, play me some soft jazz.”

Alexa reads audio books, checks sports scores, checks your Google calendar and accesses music from Pandora, iHeartRadio, TuneIn, Prime Music and, of course, Amazon. You can even ask Alexa to dim the lights and turn on your heater or security system.
